Hollywood legendary director

In the following three days, Ryan also completed the basic creation of the script. Of course, some parts of it are still slightly rough and need to be modified, but they are not in a hurry because the interview work that Lehman is responsible for is too cumbersome. After all, Cannes is the place with the strongest film atmosphere in France. There are also countless people who come to pursue film dreams. Many people come to try out after seeing the recruitment information of the crew. No way, so I have to call him over. help.

Except for Ryan, the camera assistant who was fooled was also not absent. Since that day, he has also come to help with the preparation of the crew every day.

It was another early morning, and the three gathered again at Lehman's home to prepare for the job interview.Because of the dissatisfaction of the owner of the "Sweetheart" cafe, he thought that the place of the trial appointment would have a great impact on their business, so the interview place was changed to Lehman's.

"I'm talking about today's work." Taking out a piece of information from the folder, Lehman said: "This is a part of the people who are interested in joining our crew project. They have their contact information. Thomas, you are responsible for talking to them. Contact." Then he looked at Ryan again, "We two will be responsible for the trial employment, oh, and Thomas, after you have contacted the list above, you can order a batch of recruitment advertisements and post them to each Go to the big studio."

"Okay, I see." Thomas nodded in response.

"Oh, when will I be able to fill people up, dealing with all kinds of people every day, and answering all kinds of questions, I can't stand it anymore." Ryan is not as good as Thomas, and he starts to complain again. Tao.Since he began to take charge of the trial employment, such words have not been lost.

"Be patient, Ryan, we need to find the right talent."

"Please, the last time a makeup artist with such a rich resume came to apply for the job, it was almost done, but because she offered a weekly salary of 900 euros, you chose to give up. These days are also due to remuneration. The crew has not been able to tidy up." Ryan stared at Lyman with a look of you, with complaints in his words.

"No way, who makes the shooting cost tight? The province still needs to be saved, and this movie does not require a person who can make up much. As long as the actors can be photographed without major flaws, that person will charge the price. It's too high, and I'm not willing to cut the salary, so it's not a suitable choice," Lehman explained.

Thomas on the side was also a bit speechless about this. He finally understood why Lyman even said that the salary of a rookie depends on his performance.In these few days of trial employment, I basically talk about whether interns can do it first. If the qualifications are really good, and they are not willing to accept the salary based on performance, a salary will be offered, and the money will not be too high. That is, the industry's lower standard.If you still can’t accept it, you can only say goodbye.

Lehman is serious about saving capital.

"Is it okay for me to invest more, I need the makeup artist, and I will pay for her compensation." Ryan made an offer.

The current behind-the-scenes team of the film crew actually recruited almost, and there are already six people already established.

The lighting engineer Daogridge is a middle-aged man who has been working part-time in the club for a long time. His salary is not high, and his weekly salary is only 300 euros.

The set decorator is a relatively young woman named Laura Sanger. She only graduated from an art school a few years ago. She did not have deep qualifications in the industry. She has always worked as an assistant. The reason why Lehmann admitted her, It is because she agreed to provide the costumes of the cast members.Forgot to introduce. She is also an acquaintance of the owner of a clothing store. She can borrow some men's clothes for free at a weekly salary of 280 Euros.

Photographer Cullenman-Subbot is the most experienced in the industry. He has many film shooting qualifications and has been nominated for the best photography of the French Caesar Award. He is a very powerful person. Man offered him a weekly salary of 1,000 euros.Photographic imaging is the top priority of filming. This money can’t be saved. Lehman said, he just pushed the price to 1,000 euros. Originally, he offered a weekly salary of 1,400 euros, but he took out the script and the storyboard composition to impress. After others, he finally recruited this candidate to the crew.

The remaining two members, one is an assistant to the lighting engineer, an intern, without salary, and the other is the crew responsible for miscellaneous work. All the work of dismantling scenes, moving photographic equipment, ordering takeaways, and drinking water can be entrusted to him. Zhou The salary is 300 euros.This is also a young man who wants to pursue his dreams, but he cannot accept the condition of no salary. When he offered a weekly salary of 300 euros and expressed his willingness to do chores and tiring tasks, Lehmann agreed.

Simply put, the crew has already produced a prototype, and there is only a key makeup artist.

Moreover, Ryan can not only write scripts, but also be competent for the work of field recorders. In addition, he is a director. Apart from the lack of actors, this film can enter the shooting stage.

"Well, let's do it. Thomas, you don't need to call, you can order a batch of recruitment advertisements and post them to the major studios. We need to complete the recruitment of actors as soon as possible."

"Well, good." Thomas got the order and immediately went out and began to act.

"Well, you finally agreed to my suggestion." Ryan also seemed very happy, he finally didn't have to face those strange problems.

"Then I will finish the composition of the remaining shots, Ryan, you can modify the script." Lehman suggested.

Ryan's face was relaxed at this time, and he responded casually: "Don't worry, I am good at this, and I will be able to complete the final draft soon."

Lehman, who was no longer speaking, returned to the study and began a new round of drawing the sub-shots of the movie "Buried Alive.

His sketching skills are not very good either, and only use simple lines to express the scene.For example, two ellipses, one large and one small, plus 4 straight lines form the actor's pattern. I use a pencil to black out the surroundings, which implies despair. This sub-shot is ready.

So he finished it very quickly. According to this painting method, the composition of a scene will not take long before it becomes an artwork on paper.

Concise and straightforward, it is a way of composition that Lehman likes very much.

He draws with a pencil from time to time, and also pauses to recall the specific film imaging that he has seen in his previous life to help him better conceive the composition of the scene.

In fact, Lehman had a bottom line for the entire filming, but he still painted the sub-shots of each scene in detail, as detailed as possible.

Because the shooting is never what the director needs most, but a very useful tool for communicating with various departments.

You can't expect that when shooting, you must first let people in positions such as lighting and photography understand how to shoot to achieve the look you want.Rather than trying hard to let others understand your shooting thinking, it is better to draw a good sub-shot and give it to the behind-the-scenes photographers, so that they know in their hearts what kind of style the lens will look like next. The smoothness.

This is the convenience brought by the split lens.

The crew of "Buried Alive" was originally a team of novices plus people with poor industry experience. It is even more important for them to clearly understand the filming style of the film.

The efficiency of the shooting scene is crucial to the progress of the shooting.

Any film is the product of teamwork. Even good ones such as James Cameron and Steven Spielberg must also have team support.

Lehman knows very well that in order to successfully complete this project, his director must let these people understand their shooting intentions in order to achieve real-time control of the scene.

Another day later, the sub-shots were completely finished, and Ryan's script modification was confirmed after Lyman had read it.

After Thomas's errand task was completed, the three-person team began to work on the rental of photographic equipment.

Like ordinary newcomers shooting works, Lehman also plans to rent all the equipment used in the film.

Of course, this will be an expensive expense, and the rental fee for a 35MM professional camera is not cheap.

When discussing which photography supply store to rent, Thomas, an intern on the crew, gave Lehman a surprise.

"You said you know a shop owner that sells photographic equipment." Ryan was equally incredible next to him. When Lehmann heard that Thomas was able to rent camera equipment at a low price, he reacted similarly.

"Yes, my dad is very familiar with the shop owner. The first dv camera I bought in college was bought from him. However, the shop he opened is not in Cannes, but in Marseille in the Provence region. "Thomas continued: "It will take about three hours to get there by car."

Marseille, like Cannes, is located on the coastline of Provence, not too far away.

This fare can’t be compared with the cost saved by leasing. Lehman didn’t even think about it, so he decided: “Just go to the acquaintance you mentioned to rent equipment. We’ll be there tomorrow.”

After finishing the topic of photographic equipment, Lehman and others talked about the location.

The coffin in the movie was buried in the desert. Of course, it is necessary to find a suitable location for shooting.

"I asked a real estate agent. He has a large warehouse that fits the requirements. It is right around Martinez Beach, and the sand can be seen at any time." Thomas, who has the most say in this matter, said. He has recently gone to the listing market around Cannes.

Although there is a certain difference between the yellow sand and the beach sand, some clever shooting techniques can also achieve the purpose of being fake. Lehman didn’t think there was anything wrong with Thomas, but instead expressed affirmation, “Well, let’s wait. Will go and see."
