The project in Pengcheng has begun construction and will be completed in June at most!

DreamWorks only plays a planning and supervisory role in this matter, and all other matters are left to the Pengcheng government for construction. Zhao Hong is very relieved about this.

After some negotiation, DreamWorks paid a construction fee of 60 million yuan, but the settlement had to be settled in Hong Kong dollars or US dollars.

This is because as long as the country has relatively little foreign exchange, this clause only exists. It doesn't matter to Zhao Hong. He has a full pocket of Hong Kong dollars and US dollars!

Business in the mainland is beginning to increase, and most of DreamWorks' future industries will move closer to the mainland. In recent years, labor costs in Xiangjiang have been rising sharply.

The current DreamWorks is not unable to bear this, but the company is expanding and may have hundreds of thousands of employees in the future.

If all these employees are from Xiangjiang, the wages they will be paid that year will be exorbitant!

Besides, Hong Kong is too small to accommodate such a large company. With abundant human resources and a vast market in the mainland, it is really a good place for DreamWorks to develop!

After casually learning about the company, Zhao Hong went to meet the crew who were staying in the hotel. When he came to the crew's hotel, he saw only a few people in the hotel.

There are still a few crew members, only a few costumes, props and scene notes.

Zhao Hong inquired and found out that they had been playing crazy these days. It was the first time for many of them to come to the mainland and it felt very fresh, so they had been traveling around for the past few days.

Zhao Hong had no choice but to call Cheng Kexin and ask the actors not to go out to play tomorrow. They would go to the company to read the script together tomorrow. This was equivalent to coaxing their hearts and asking them to focus on the movie.

When he learned over the phone that they were in Tiananmen Square, Zhao Hong did not go looking for them. He was very familiar with these places and had gone there no less than a hundred times.

When we got home, Zhao Hong and Li Zhi cooked a sumptuous dinner. Hao Hong hadn't cooked in person for a long time, so she felt that her cooking skills had not deteriorated. Everyone enjoyed the dinner.

During the night break, the atmosphere between the three of them felt strange, but this was not a problem for Zhao Hong. He talked about life with Qingxia in the first half of the night, and thought about the future with Li Zhi in the second half of the night.

It's been a really busy night.

The next morning, Zhao Hong made breakfast early. After eating it, he wrote a note to the two lazy cats, and then headed towards the company.

Today, the main members of the crew are gathered in the company conference room to read the script.

When he arrived, the actors and key crew members had already arrived at the company, just waiting for him to make arrangements!

"Director, they are already waiting in the conference room." Cheng Kexin, who was previously the person in charge of the crew, hurried forward when he saw Zhao Hong arriving.

He was the one who brought the Xiangjiang crew to the mainland in advance a few days ago. He had already shot a small-production movie last year, but the effect was not very satisfactory. This time, he begged the executive director.

Originally, Zhao Hong wanted to find a new assistant director to form the crew, but he decided to come and work for him, saying that he also wanted to learn more knowledge from him.

Zhao Hong could still drive him away. Besides, it was difficult for him to find a better assistant director than him. Of course, he was promoted this time to executive director.

The executive director is the highest-ranking person in a movie besides the director. He has to take care of almost everything about the crew!

"Okay! Have you eaten yet?" Zhao Hong asked.

"After eating, the hotel provides breakfast every day." Cheng Kexin said.

Zhao Hong was led by Cheng Kexin to the conference room and saw that it was packed with people. There were more than 20 actors alone, as well as the crew's artists, set managers, assistant directors and other crew members.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhao Hong sat down on the main seat. After he sat down, he smiled and said, "How are you having a good time these days?".

"not bad!".

"The meaning is not yet finished!".

“I haven’t been this relaxed for a long time.”.

…

Zhao Hong saw everyone talking non-stop. They were very satisfied with the situation in the past few days. They felt that they were not here to shoot a movie but to travel!

"Everyone has had fun these days, and now it's time for everyone to be busy. Today we read the script around to let everyone relax and familiarize themselves with the entire movie story..." Zhao Hong said when everyone became quiet.

He just gave a general introduction, and then everyone got into reading the script together.

Everyone holds a script in their hands, and the actors read their lines to each other. Others look at the script and listen to other people's lines. They look for any language errors or kimono scenes!

Through this round reading of the script, Zhao Hong saw that many actors had worked hard before, and almost everyone knew their lines by heart.

During this process, I really found that some of the lines were not appropriate, either too written or too verbal. No matter how good the script was, it was just a dialogue scene imagined by the screenwriter team out of thin air.

Therefore, it is inevitable to make mistakes. Reading the script is an irreducible task. Only by identifying possible mistakes before filming starts, will fewer mistakes be made when filming starts!

Zhao Hong attaches great importance to script reading, as this was a part of his previous films.

Everyone spends the whole day discussing the script. In this process, it doesn't matter the size of the position. As long as you have ideas, you can put forward any ideas, or you can correct any mistakes in the script.

After a day of communication, everyone got along more harmoniously, and Zhao Hong was very satisfied with this.

This time, due to a tight schedule, the script reading was not completed until 11 o'clock in the evening. Zhao Hong felt particularly sorry for this. If we had time, it would have been better to discuss it together for another day!

This is mainly his fault!

I really can’t let go of my little ones!

Zhao Hong saw that actors from the mainland and Xiangjiang got along well. In the past few days, actors from the mainland had acted as tour guides, taking people from Xiangjiang around the capital.

Among this group of people from the mainland, Zhang Fengyi is the leader, and Zhao Hong’s Peking Opera brothers are all headed by him. I heard from Teacher Mei that Zhang Fengyi’s talent is pretty good.

Over the past few months, he has performed the Peking Opera role of Overlord very well.

After reading the script, Zhao Hong had a midnight snack with the crew before returning to her courtyard.

Today, Zhao Hong discovered that Mei Yanfang was constantly paying attention to him, which made him very uncomfortable. It is not a good thing for such a beautiful woman to pay too much attention to him.

Zhao Hong is a dedicated person!

Mei Yanfang became interested in Zhao Hong after he helped her solve her mother's problem. The reason why he didn't go further was that he had hardly had much contact with Mei Yanfang in the past year.

As soon as you get closer, a different kind of atmosphere fills the air!

Zhao Hong thought of giving her the role of Juxian mainly because Gu Mei's acting skills are really good. She is young and beautiful now, and she has a unique flavor in a cheongsam!

Especially her flaming red lips are really wild and beautiful!

After eating midnight snack, Zhao Hong was about to drive back to the courtyard, but Mei Gu blocked her in front of the car.

Zhao Hong saw this situation and had no choice but to open the car window and said, "Amei, is something wrong?".

"Director, this is a bit far from the hotel, can you send me off?" Mei Yanfang stuttered a little. She and Zhao Hong had always been unequal in getting along, so she rarely faced him.

What confidence does she have, even though Zhao Hong and she are still good friends in private.

Zhao Hong saw that her excuse was a bit lame. You must know that the crew members were all driven back to the hotel by car. He just left after seeing the bus sending the crew members away.
Chapter completed!
