3 Chapter 3 Finding a Job (1/2)
France’s film and television production industry and distribution cinemas and other industrial foundations are quite complete, occupying a certain position in the entire European cultural circle.
After Lehman had breakfast, he went out to look for opportunities to make money.
I went to a newsstand on a street corner and bought several newspapers. Lehman went to a secluded place again. Then he looked through the recruitment section on the buying newspaper, hoping to find the type that suits him.
His requirements are not high, as long as it is related to the film industry. As for the remuneration, if he is enough to support himself, he will choose to accept it.
With his current conditions, getting to know more people in the film industry is the king.
He thought about it, after he joined the crew and showed a certain ability, maybe someone would be willing to support him.
The road has been chosen, it depends on how to seize the opportunity.
......
After flipping through several newspapers, Lehman copied down several interesting information one by one, and made plans later. When she flipped through the last newspaper, a job advertisement that took up a lot of space appeared. In front of him, his heart moved instantly.
A newly established film began to prepare crew members, and openly recruited artists, costumes, field assistants and many other staff, and the name of this project was-”The Pianist”!
After reading the recruitment brief in detail, Lehman was convinced that this was the classic anti-war film.The Palm, the highest prize of the next Cannes Film Festival, was won by this film, and it was nominated for the best film Oscar of that year.
If he can join this crew, it would be great for him to improve his qualifications in the circle.
Think about the audience's reputation and honors that will be brought about by film releases in the future. If you are an insider, how can you not follow along.
Lehman made up his mind and immediately took a taxi to the recruitment location mentioned in the newspaper.
Only when I got there, I realized that there were a lot of people coming and going.
The competition is undoubtedly fierce.
After all, the director Roman Polanski is a veteran filmmaker who has directed a series of film masterpieces such as ”Water Knife”, ”Chinatown”, ”Strange Tenants” and so on. The establishment of his new film project attracts attention. inevitable.
And like ”The Pianist”, an investment share with a public production cost of more than 35 million U.S. dollars will inevitably convene a large-scale crew. The staff behind the scenes will not be a small number. This is also the reason for external recruitment. Where.Brokerage companies do not have so many miscellaneous workers.
”All line up, come one by one, fill in the information first, and try to hire the corresponding position.” A person who maintains order, holding a small speaker, shouted there.
Lehman heard the call and hurried to the back of the line.
He roughly estimated that there are at least a few hundred people in front of him. Such a long line is really a multitude of troops crossing the single-plank bridge.
Time passed for a long time, and finally it was Lyman's turn.
After writing his basic information at the registration counter, he received a number, 523. According to the receptionist, he had to go to Studio No. 3 for a trial appointment.
Walking into the huge studio, Lehman headed towards the target while thinking about which position he should apply for.Combining his strengths and weaknesses, he finally decided to apply for an artist on the crew.
Because he has seen the movie ”The Pianist”, the photography style in it is fairly familiar, which is also considered an advantage, and his compositional ability benefited from the addition of the experience of the two generations, the effect is quite good.If you draw a draft that meets the temperament of the film on the spot, it will definitely be a bonus, Lehman thought secretly.
Probably because there are relatively few people interviewing this type of job. As soon as Lehman entered Studio No. 3, he was told by the staff that he could go in for an interview. When he came in, there were many people waiting outside the hall. It.
Knocking on the door of an office lightly, and after the sound of'please come in' came from inside, Lehmann pushed the door and walked in.
There are not many people inside. There are only three. One is a middle-aged woman with short chestnut hair, the other is a fat man with a little white hair, and another is a little younger than the previous two. According to Lehman, he is The person who just said'please come in'.
”Here.”
The slightly younger man pointed to the chair opposite him and motioned to Lyman to sit down.
”Thank you.” Lehman responded politely.
It seems that the status of this man is clearly below the first two.
”My name is Nonne Kritz, and the crew is in charge of the art and props business.” As if it were a routine business, he introduced the latter two again.
