Every film and television reporter
Every film and television editor Wen Menghua
From the "Three Lifes and Three Worlds" of "Amazing World", to the "Young Years of the Year", the "Young Girl" is a very beautiful young face, the "Shengshi Beauty" of a film and television drama. ", is often the origin of fans in the play of love beans."
Perhaps the light that determines their value is the light that hits their face. The master of this beam of light is a lighting engineer who is hard to notice and survives no more than three seconds in the film and television subtitles.
However, it is surprising that these lighters who cling to the "life and death power" have 70 to 80% of a small county town from central Henan - Fuling County in the north of Xuchang City.
Once, the use of "film and light lighting half-lingling" to describe this group of people, still discounted. At that time, "Fuling Lighting Master" was quite prestigious in the Chinese film and television industry. In June of this year, Wang Changtian, president of Light Media, also mentioned at the Shanghai International Film Festival Forum: "Many directors say that the lighting divisions are all in rural Henan, and that one village and one village control the entire Chinese film and television lighting industry."
From Zhang Yimou’s "Heroes", "Return", "Jinling Thirteen", Gu Changwei's "Peacock", Chen Kaige's "The Promise", and now to Feng Xiaogang's "I am not Pan Jinlian", Chen Kaige, "The Demon Cat", and "Rugao" Biography, "The Sea and the Clouds", etc., all the popular dramas are often seen by the Fuling people.
Nowadays, they are still active in the film and television circle. They not only use a bunch of light to “make decay into magicâ€, but also use this skill to make a fortune and start their own “businessâ€.
Why are there 80% of the lighting divisions from this little-known county town, how do they control the Chinese film and television lighting industry in one village and one village? What is the current status of the film and television lighting industry? How does the lighting master control the star value?
To this end, every film and television (WeChat ID: meijingyingshi) reporter came to Fuling County, Xuchang, Henan, to find out from the source.
A small county town has a "lighting". More than 2,000 people entered the film industry.
When the bus drove into Fuling County, a large number of high and low trees began to appear on both sides of the road, rather than the more common farmland in rural Henan. In fact, it is difficult to find the clues of the film and television circle in this small county that almost monopolizes the film and television lighting industry. Instead, the countdown card of the “Central Plains Flower Trade Fair†can be seen everywhere, reminding visitors at all times, the flower industry is The "pillar pillar" of Fuling.
A person in charge of the cultural industry in Fuling County told the film and television reporter that he was already considering vacating more than 2,000 mu of land that had been planted with trees, and building a film and television base in the Han Wei style park.

In this county town with a population of just over 600,000, more than 2,000 people have entered the film and television industry, working in lighting, photography, recording, props, clothing, and field work in more than 1,200 TV dramas and more than 2,300 movies. Among them, the lighting design of Fuling people involved in the most, only the lighting division (note: without assistant) up to more than 500 people.
Zhangbei Village, 23 kilometers away from the county seat, is a village in the county's indigenous mouth that “when I was a child, I felt very far awayâ€. If there is no "chaos" of film and television, Zhangbei Village is also a common member of more than 360 villages in Zhangqiao Township, Yuanling County.

Xing Jianwei, who was the filmmaker of "Ma Yongzhen", "Kangxi Weifu Private Visit", was the first Fuling person to enter the film and television circle, which was from Zhangbei Village. At the age of 43, he is not tall, lean and dark, simple and modest. He just finished the filming of the new version of "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" and returned to Fuling from the Northeast to prepare a small holiday for himself for ten days. The first thing he did after he was seated was to get a cigarette from a good location.
Twenty-six years ago, Xing Jianwei, a 16-year-old boy from Zhangbei Village, went to work in Beijing. Under the introduction of the fellow soldiers who happened to meet him, he accidentally hit the film "Huang Feihong", starring Xu Ke’s director and Jet Li, as a group performance. The first person to enter the film and television circle. The early days were very difficult. "It is normal to not eat a meal for a few days."
The first contact with the light was in the film "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" starring Jet Li. Because of his hard work, Xing Jianwei became a lighting assistant. To this day, he still clearly remembers that the film was turned on on June 3, 1993. After five years of "Peace Peace Talk", Xing Jianwei first served as a lighting engineer independently, coordinating the size of lighting planning.
"At that time, there were more Hong Kong and Taiwan operas, called co-productions, the lights were heavy, and the equipment and the line were very heavy. It was also a kind of physical activity. We can work hard, work hard, feel more appropriate, and slowly start doing it. Well, doing a good job, and then missing the other person will let you look for it again, go to find a better relatives and friends. Relatives and friends are not so much, take neighbors or neighborhoods" Xing Jianwei told each film and television reporter.
As Shao Weiqiang, the lighting engineer of Xuanyuanjian's Hanyun Cloud, said, "He has a tenacity in his body." The hairy boy who first entered the film and television circle did not expect that in the past 20 years, with the "one area more, more help" approach, Zhangbei Village as the center, radiated to the surrounding villages of Zhangnan and Zhangzhong, successively More than 2,000 people have entered the film and television industry.
Among them, most of the Fuling people entered the subdivision of film and television lighting, and gradually occupied half of the film and television lighting. In the past two decades, it was also the period of "light speed" expansion of the film and TV drama industry. The emergence and growth of "Fuling Lighting Help" has become the epitome of the great changes in the industry.

In recent years, film and television dramas seem to be "more expensive." Hundreds of millions of dollars, big production, big cards are everywhere. A film and television company CEO once told reporters: "Now 'over 100 million' is already a topic of embarrassment."
The high investment and high output of the film and television industry have triggered investors' concerns about risks. However, it is a rare opportunity for the lighting engineers. They have the opportunity to participate in "Russian Biography", "The Sea of ​​Clouds" and "Fantasy City". In the film and television system such as "The Demon Cat Biography". Xing Jianwei told every film and television reporter that "the lighting budget in a drama may be only tens of thousands of yuan a dozen years ago, and now there are only a lighting budget of up to 10 million yuan."
Sun Hongyang, who has finished photography for nearly nine months, such as Ruan Biography, also chose to go back to his hometown Fuling for a while. "Too tired, pushed a lot of drama, rest for a while," Sun Hongyang said to every film and television reporter.
Unlike most fellow travelers, Sun Hongyang first came into contact with the crew for photography, and also for lighting. At that time, the 23-year-old Sun Hongyang was also brought into the crew by the fellows. The first scene to participate in was the Hong Kong film "Flying Fox", which was edited by Dawn, Zhang Min and Jin Yong in 1993. "At that time, it was a photography teacher Fu Zhaofei, who was a small assistant. The job was to give the photography department a box." Sun Hongyang recalled every film and television reporter.

In 2005, through the TV series "Home", Sun Hongyang contacted the team of director Wang Jun, and then continued to cooperate, doing photography or lighting, until recently the star-studded drama "Rugao Biography" starring Zhou Xun and Huo Jianhua.
"The couple's things" "Small apart" "I love men's girlfriends", I am doing the lights, like "The Sky of the Sky" is a sub-photography, but also a light, Wang guide to the exposure of the picture, the light The requirements for index and imaging quality are relatively strict."
In order to keep up with the progress, "Rugao Biography" is divided into two groups, A and B. The director A is responsible for the "Rugao" played by Zhou Xun, and Sun Hongyang assists Group B director Cheng Yuanhai in the shooting of many nephews in the play. How to make many women take beauty?
"You need to make the light very soft. When you light the lamp, you can put a lot of soft light on the front, and remove it in layers. There is almost no shadow in the light. Like the shadowless lamp, it gives the actor's face a very soft face."

For the ancient costume system such as "Biography", the requirements of lighting and photography are beautiful, and Fan Bingbing's other big drama "Win the World" is no exception. As Fuling's lighting master Cao Chaomin played beautifully in the TV series "Wu Mei Niang Legend", Fan Bingbing had appointed Cao Chaomin as the "Win the World".
"Winning the World" was built at the time, the lighting divisions were arranged, Fan Bingbing went to a sentence: 'No, photography guidance is Xiao Cao', then there is no way, investors directly find Cao Chaomin, now also In the filming, Shao Zhiqiang, who is shooting advertisements in Beijing, revealed to every film and television reporter during a chat.

At the same time, another Fuling lighting engineer, Sun Zhigong, is preparing to take control of Tiger’s new drama “The Eight Hundred Heroes†in Suzhou. “I have been preparing for more than a month, and I will start in Shanghai on the 10th next monthâ€. The "Demon Cat Biography" directed by Chen Kaige, who was responsible for lighting design last year, will also be released at the end of this year.
In the sub-sector of film and television lighting, there is no corresponding association or organization to guarantee the legal rights of practitioners. In April of this year, 26 Fuling lighting engineers, including Xing Jianwei, Chen Zhigong and Shao Zhiqiang, spontaneously set up a lighting division discussion group, hoping to raise the salary for the lighting assistant. The salary of the big assistant was raised to 1,000 yuan / 16 hours, and the assistant was raised to 500 yuan / 16 hours. "After May Day decided to implement, they all sent friends to let everyone know that the assistant must raise the price. Now the group has more than 500 people."
Shao Zhiqiang spoke to the reporter. This simple form of rights protection was finally successful, and it also reflected the influence of “Lingling Gang†in the film and television lighting industry.

Opening up the joys and sorrows in the lighting business chain of video equipment rental companies
While controlling the "light power" in the crew, Fuling Lighting is also brewing its own business. The lighting engineers noticed that the crew often spent a lot of money on renting lighting, photography, recording and other equipment from the rental company. Therefore, they thought that they would use a wealth of lighting equipment resources to set up a video equipment rental company.
"In the past, when I was a lighting engineer, I rented people's equipment. I thought I would buy it because I bought it. Because the dry lights are all in one village, I take a job and need lighting equipment. I will rent it. "Cao Jianxiong, secretary of Zhangbei Village Branch, explained this reason to every film and television reporter.
According to Xing Jianwei, the investment in TV dramas more than a decade ago was generally not high. For example, the 7-episode historical drama "Beiping Hetao" was filmed in 1998. The lighting budget of a movie is only tens of thousands of yuan, and the equipment is basically domestic products. Nowadays, the requirements for lighting and photographic equipment are getting higher and higher, mostly imported from abroad, and the cost is extremely high.
"A light bulb is more than 10,000", and the high cost also corresponds to high rents. For example, the rent of equipment for 60,000 yuan can reach 2,000 yuan / day, and the rent of equipment for more than 1 million yuan can reach 30,000 yuan / day. However, these huge cutting-edge machines also mean a costly maintenance, update, and storage cost.
At first, there were only 3 or 4 film and television rental companies opened by Fuling people. Now, Fuling people have opened more than 200 video equipment rental companies across the country, ranging in size from Beijing to more than 100. corner.
However, practitioners in the digital video equipment rental industry have indicated to every film and television reporter that this line is not easy to do today. The expansion of scale has also brought fierce competition. Mao Qinwei, a native of Fuling who has been in business for more than a decade, told each film and television reporter that there are currently more than 400 film and television equipment rental companies in the country. "In the past few years, but several are doing The price of rent is high and there are many jobs. The competition in these two years is fierce, the price is low, and it is not good to do."
Another practitioner who did not want to be named as a lighting engineer was also worried about the “very bad†confession of every film and television reporter. “The competition is cruel and basically no profit.†The company’s response is Transforming to do the whole case, "from the script to the production, forming a streamline, script, production, distribution are involved."
These hidden worries are also reflected in the new three-board company Junqing Culture (836465), which focuses on film and television leasing.
According to the 2017 semi-annual report released by Junqing Culture on August 24, the company's total revenue for the first half of the year was 7.929 million yuan, down 3.95% year-on-year. The net profit attributable to the listed company's shareholders was only 272,000 yuan, a sharp drop of 82.47%. The non-net profit was a loss of 816,000 yuan, and the gross profit margin dropped to 5.48% from 30.09% in the same period last year.
The company said in the announcement that the decline in net profit was due to a slight decline in revenue and a significant increase in costs. The reason for the significant increase in operating costs was mainly due to the increase in rental and photo production costs and the provision for bad debt losses.
