The next scene was very simple for Yu Yuexian. However, the palace maids and eunuchs beside her had some problems. Because of this, they had a few NGs.
They were all students from the Yenching Film Institute and had never acted before. It was inevitable that they would be nervous for the first time on camera, so Xiao Yunhai did not reprimand them.
Seeing this situation, as the teacher, Yao Wenyuan was naturally duty-bound. He went up to the students and explained it to them. Soon, they passed their scenes perfectly.
The efficiency of the crew of 'Empresses in the Palace' was frighteningly high. Every department was working hard and did their jobs seriously. Their cooperation with each other was also very smooth.
By 6: 30 pm, the crew had already filmed eight scenes in a row. Moreover, the quality was guaranteed and every scene was very exciting.
This made Wang Guoan sigh and say, "This work efficiency is really good."
Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Yunhai was ready to call it a day. He shouted to everyone, "Everyone did very well for this afternoon's work. I am very satisfied, so I will give all the bonuses to you. I also hope that you will continue to work hard and do the rest of the work well."
"Okay."
"Long live Director Xiao."
The staff on the set all shouted happily.
Xiao Yunhai continued, "I have said at the meeting that your salary will be calculated daily and will not be delayed. Now, each team leader can go to the finance department to receive your team's salary and bonus. "
"Yay, that's great. I didn't work for nothing today."
"Yun Huang is indeed Yun Huang. He is indeed generous."
"I have been in the industry for three years and I have never seen a production team give out a salary every day."
"If we calculate it this way, each of us will get more than three hundred yuan."
"That's right. Let's go get the money and have a drink. "
Everyone started to shout in high spirits. Their expressions were all very excited.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Wang Guoan said to Yao Wenyuan, "The kid you taught is really good. He only used one or two hundred yuan to boost the morale of this group of people. It seems that it will be difficult for the filming to not be fast in the future."
Yao Wenyuan smiled and said, "I can't teach that."
Yao Wenyuan was very satisfied with Xiao Yunhai's ability to direct, command, and coordinate on the set. Xiao Yunhai had obviously matured a lot compared to when he was directing "Time Gate".
As Xiao Yunhai's teacher, Yao Wenyuan felt both proud and disappointed. He was proud that he had taught such a great student, but he was disappointed because he had nothing to teach him.
Thinking of this, Yao Wenyuan glanced at Lin Lu in the distance and thought to himself, "Next, I'll have to properly nurture her."
Under the stimulation of Xiao Yunhai's money, the crew exploded with unprecedented enthusiasm. Whether it was the props team, the makeup team, the production team, the photography team, or the sound recording team, everyone put in 120% of their effort. Each of them performed their own duties and responsibilities, making the entire crew's filming progress faster and faster.
Many of the scenes that were supposed to be filmed on the second day had to be filmed on the first day because they were too fast.
Fortunately, the actors were also very supportive. Wang Guoan, Yao Wenyuan, Zhang Hong, Yu Yuexian, Zhao Wanqing, and Zhang Xinyi all exploded with the level of best actors and actresses. Basically, they all passed in one take. Occasionally, there would be two or three takes, but it was because of the extras or supporting roles.
It couldn't be helped. Yu Yuexian and Zhao Wanqing's first exciting battle gave everyone a lot of pressure, so Wang Guoan, Zhang Hong, and the other older generation had to take it seriously.
They knew very well that the young people they were acting with were too strong. If they were careless, they could be overshadowed by them. If this was broadcast, they would be laughed at.
Therefore, for the sake of their own reputation, they gave their all in every scene.
Since the lead was working so hard, the supporting roles naturally didn't dare to be negligent.
If they had problems and slowed down the speed of the crew, even if Director Xiao didn't say anything, they probably wouldn't be killed by everyone's eyes.
In this atmosphere of competition, the "Legend of Empresses in the Palace" crew only took a week to complete one-fifth of the filming. The speed was so fast that even Xiao Yunhai was surprised.
Of course, Xiao Yunhai didn't treat his crew badly. As long as they performed well, besides the usual bonuses, Xiao Yunhai would increase their meals for three meals a day.
For the lower level extras and crew members, their meals were originally eight yuan, but as long as they worked hard and performed well, Xiao Yunhai would increase their meals to twelve yuan. Sometimes, he would even buy each of them a bottle of drink.
Seeing that the director was so concerned about them, everyone was naturally more motivated.
At six o 'clock in the morning, Xiao Yunhai walked out of the hotel and went to the snack stall in front to have breakfast. Then, he ran to the set.
The hotel was only five or six miles away from the set, so Xiao Yunhai never took a car.
As soon as he arrived at the set, Xiao Yunhai saw that the six big cars of the crew were surrounded by people. The assistant director, Lu Pengfei, was arguing with a bespectacled man in his thirties.
Xiao Yunhai frowned. He was a little unhappy. Why didn't you tell me that something had happened?
He took out his phone from his pocket and realized that his phone had run out of battery last night. After charging it, he forgot to turn it on.
When he turned on his phone, Xiao Yunhai saw that there were three or four missed calls from Lu Pengfei.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yunhai didn't rush out. Instead, he quietly stood in a corner to see what was going on.
He heard Lu Pengfei angrily say, "Director Le, what do you mean by that? Our 'Legend of Empresses in the Palace' crew signed a contract and paid the rent for these cars. What right do you have to ask us to give it to them? "
In Hengdian Film City, all the crew had to rent the cars inside the city. Outside cars weren't even allowed in. Naturally, the price was much higher.
This was the unspoken rule of filming, and it was the same in other film cities.
Since Xiao Yunhai was filming a large-scale harem drama, just the props and costumes alone required five big cars to transport.
Therefore, Xiao Yunhai had Lv Pengfei directly rent six cars in order to deal with special situations just in case.
Director Le was in a difficult position. He said, "Brother Lu, I don't have a choice. The director of 'Chu River Han Boundary', Du Hongtai, called our Vice President Yu and asked us to find eight big cars for him. We only have 50 cars here, and they have all been requisitioned by various crews. Where can we find them? "
Lu Pengfei said, "So you think that our 'Legend of Empresses in the Palace' crew is easy to bully and brought so many people to rob our cars?"
Director Le quickly waved his hand. "That's not what I meant. They are all action actors for 'Chu River Han Boundary'. They are not my people. "
Lu Pengfei said, "No matter what, we have already signed a contract. We have to follow the contract. Although the 'Chu River Han Boundary' crew is full of stars, our 'Legend of Empresses in the Palace' also has a lot of best actors and actresses. Aren't you afraid of offending us by doing this? If we stop filming because of the cars, do you know how much money we will have to pay? Can you afford this responsibility? "
