373: A Good Project Is One that Can Make Money

"League of Legends", abbreviated as "LOL", commonly known as "Luahlu", is a hero battle MOBA competitive online game.

Jiang Ge had played it on Earth, but he had less free time after traveling to Blue Star, so he occasionally played "Honor of Kings". After all, mobile phones are easy to carry. Based on Chen Qian's words, he guessed that it was related to the S14 World Championship, so he replied: "I've played before, what's wrong?"

Chen Qian glanced around to make sure there was no one around, and then whispered: "In October this year, isn't their World Championship scheduled to be held at the Beijingyuan Ecological Park E-sports Stadium in Hangzhou..."

He really guessed it right, so Jiang Ge asked again: "Then what?"

Chen Qian continued: "They are starting to prepare a theme song, and you... are one of the candidates."

Jiang Ge said "Oh" and said calmly: "I thought it was something big."

Chen Qian clicked his tongue and said, "Now that I have grown up, I don't like these small projects anymore."

Jiang Ge smiled and said: "Of course not. It doesn't matter whether it's a big project or a small project. If you make money, it's a good project. You haven't said that yet."

Chen Gan shook his index finger and vowed: "As long as you are on the list, there is a 99% chance that it will be you in the end."

Jiang Ge smiled lightly and said, "Let's wait until they come to the door."

Apart from spending some [Superstar Points] on this matter, there is no other cost, so there is no reason not to accept it.

Even, in this moment, I even thought about which song to use.

Chen Qian heard the news through the grapevine, and there was no guarantee of its accuracy, so he changed the topic and said, "At the end of this month, our game will release its first real-life demonstration video."

Jiang Ge's eyes lit up and he said, "How much has been completed?"

Chen Qian replied: "80%."

Jiang Ge said in surprise: "That's pretty fast."

Chen Gan smiled and said: "It will definitely be faster if you are willing to invest money. The number of people in the team has exceeded 200. The budget has been increased again and again. If the speed cannot be improved, it is better to quit this industry as soon as possible."

Jiang Ge became interested and asked: "Have you finished trying it?"

Chen Qian nodded and said, "I've tried it. It's no exaggeration to say that the playability is super high, and the action and picture quality are top-notch."

After saying that, he put away his excited expression and said: "Try to finish it as soon as possible, and then go to the CJ Game Show held in Shanghai in July, and then launch the early access version."

The completion time is not much different from the originally expected completion time. No matter how fast a AAA masterpiece is, it will take one or two years. If it is a game with a very high degree of freedom and a particularly large map, it will not be ready for five years.

After chatting for a while, Chen Qian left. Firstly, he was indeed dropping by and had some business to do. Secondly, Jiang Ge had to shoot until early morning today and had no time to accompany him.

Django returned to the director's seat, picked up the loudspeaker, and shouted: "Work begins!"

After hearing what the boss said, each group immediately started moving.

During this time, Shen Yang had been in deep thought, while Lin Yu and Guan Yansi were teaching Han Xiaolong some simple acting skills.

The shooting continued, which was relatively smooth, at least the number of NGs was within an acceptable range.

"No. 3, from right to left, the track is laid wrong..."

…

"Lighting, too much lighting on the actors' faces..."

…

"Very good, one more guarantee..."

…

During the filming process, no matter the camera position, lighting, or even Fu Hua Dao, Jiang Ge's voice could be heard in everything.

He controlled all kinds of details of the entire crew, making the filming progress quickly.

"Director Jiang, have a drink of water first." During the transition, the assistant director handed over a thermos cup, "This is a new one."

"Thank you." Jiang Ge took the thermos cup with a smile and found that it was honeysuckle tea. He took a sip. It was light and a little bitter, which made his throat feel comfortable. "You will film this scene later."

"Me?" The deputy director's name is Qi Hu. He is a newcomer. He graduated from the Directing Department of Shanghai Theater Academy and is the third generation director of Huafeng Media.

The second-generation Zhou Ran is studying with Zhu Ping. This time he can start filming "The Fast and the Furious Part 1". Jiang Ge happened to be filming "Young Master Bao Qingtian", so he said by the way, "Well, you can do it. If you don’t practice, it’s just a waste of time.”

Qi Hu no longer hesitated and responded: "Okay."

He had a script in hand and knew that the next scene was a scene, which was particularly suitable for practice.

Three years after he graduated, he made a lot of short films and an online drama, so he has a solid foundation.

Arriving at the new venue, he took over from Django and took charge.

"The extras shouldn't always stare at the leading actors. Just go shopping and be natural..."

…

"The line is wrong, it's 'three cents a penny', not 'three cents a penny'..."

…

"You are playing a small businessman, not a gangster. Don't smile so obscenely..."

…

Qi Hu kept patting and correcting the mistakes of the group performers without missing any detail.

This is very similar to Django, every scene and every shot is treated meticulously.

It took Qi Hu a full three hours to finish shooting these scattered clips.

He joined the group for a week and followed Django closely for a week. In addition, he studied the movies and TV series shot by Django himself before joining, and he became more and more familiar with Django's shooting style, including the use of lenses, lights, and filters. You can see a bit of Django's shadow on it.

Qi Hu is undoubtedly qualified as an assistant director. As for the shooting style, he is still mainly imitating at this stage, and then slowly finds a shooting style that suits him through learning and shooting.

Apart from him, most of the people in the crew performed quite well. They have worked together for a long time and have a very good understanding of each other.

In fact, the crew is like a company, but it is not a company. It is not that you can work forever after you apply for a job.

Generally speaking, the lifespan of a play or a crew can be as long as two or three years, or as short as ten days. There is no so-called fixed or long-term crew, let alone a so-called long-term crew preparation office. The crews are all It was a temporary set up by the production company, and the people came from all over the world. Everyone took temporary jobs. When the filming was completed, more than 90% of the crew members went home and found their own mothers.

Looking at the entire film and television industry, only the crew of Huafeng Media is an exception.

Because their shooting cycle is short and can be seamlessly connected, of course, having money and being willing to spend money on it is the most important, so in addition to group performances, positions such as cameraman, lighting engineer, and prop artist are basically Long-term workers.

Jiang Ge looked at the time and saw that it was half past five in the afternoon. He called the life producer over and asked, "Have you ordered the lunch box?"

The Lifestyle Producer replied: "When Mr. Chen left just now, he said that he would give everyone extra food. I ordered it according to his instructions. It will probably take fifteen minutes to arrive."

"This guy..." Jiang Ge shook his head and smiled, then picked up the loudspeaker and said, "Stop working, take a break, eat before shooting."

Today is Sunday. While waiting for the lunch box, I took out my mobile phone and made a WeChat video call to Zhou Lingwei.
