8 Chapter 8 A lot of affairs (seeking recommended collection) (1/2)
With the development of the film industry up to now, the subdivision and specialization of work is one of the important signs of its maturity.
Generally speaking, a formal crew will have different tasks for each team, such as the crew, the photography crew, the art crew, the recording crew... etc., which are very detailed.And there will be a division of labor under each group, and it will be detailed to the position responsible for food ordering every day, and there will be a dedicated person in charge.
A radish, a pit, such as ”Titanic” Big Mac works, there are even more than 400 crew members.
However, this only refers to a formal crew. For independent films, there is not enough funding to support such a large crew, and there is no need for so many posts to maintain the daily operation of the entire crew. The configuration will be relatively simple. There are even some independent films that the director can do alone, and they are nicknamed ”a crew of one person.”
”Buried alive” will be a minimalist crew. If it weren't for the troublesome shooting work, Lehman wanted to do it all by himself, and how much shooting cost would be saved.But just think about it.
After the script was handed over to Ryan to improve, Lyman did not idle.
In addition to spending some money to publish recruitment advertisements in the local newspapers in Cannes, he also went to the University of Caen and surrounding art schools to post recruitment posters, hoping to seduce professional students who aspire to this.
In addition, there are all kinds of behind-the-scenes workers that need to be used. In some places, interns can also be used. However, the most important work types such as camera and makeup require a lot of experience.
For this reason, Lehman went to the major studios and posted job advertisements in prominent places outside.
After everything was ready, Lehman sat in a coffee shop called ”Sweetheart” and waited. The interview location mentioned in the job advertisement was this coffee shop.
Soon the first interviewer appeared.
......
A young man carrying a large backpack sat in the car, looking curiously at the surrounding buildings through the car window.
Because the interview location is in the center of the town, there are many people and vehicles around, so the taxi speed is very slow.
”Here, 8 euros.”
”Here.” He took out his change from his pocket and paid the fare. Then, the young man pushed the car door and walked towards the ”Sweetheart” cafe.
Lehman had been sitting in the cafe for more than ten minutes at this time, because it was noon, there were not many guests.
There was a cup of coffee in front of him, but he didn't want to drink it, his eyes kept paying attention to the situation at the door.
After a while, a man came in at the door, he said a few words to the waiter, and the waiter walked over here with him.
There was a little space at the door from where Lyman was sitting, and he looked at the young man without a trace.
The other party is probably in his early twenties and is about 1.80 meters tall. The most impressive thing is the large backpack he is carrying, which looks quite weighty.
In general, apart from being very young, nothing can be seen.
”Hello, I'm here to apply.” The young man said before he came close, ”The position of a photographer on the crew.”
Lyman stood up and proactively stretched out his right hand, ”May I ask you?”
”Thomas Wright, just call me Thomas.” The young man took two steps and shook it in Lyman's hand.
”Thomas, please take a seat first.” Lyman motioned to the opposite seat.
When the man sat down, Lyman also sat back in his seat and introduced himself: ”My name is Lyman and I am the director of this movie.”
Then he said: ”You are here to apply for a photographer, right? I have a copy of film production information here. You can take a look first.”
With that said, Lehmann took out a series of filings and placed them on the table in front of Thomas, ”Our crew is formal. Because we need to shoot a movie, we have to hire some professionals.”
Is it better to be fooled by gaining the trust of others? The things he prepared in advance were not useless.
Seeing that Thomas was looking through the record of the movie in earnest, when he saw the last one, Lehman said again: ”You may have a problem applying for a film crew.”
In France, I don’t know how many crews have been established every day. After reading all the information, Thomas confirmed that the crew really exists and wants to be formed. He just got rid of the guard, he heard Lehman’s words .
