After driving for about an hour and a half, we got off the highway when we were approaching Suzhou City and followed the navigation guidance to the Xiangnan Film and Television Base.
Guo Fanhui chose to build the green landscape greenhouse and some of the real scenes here, mainly for the sake of saving money and convenience.
Located at the junction of the three cities of Suzhou and Kunming, it has a unique geographical advantage and a dense floating population. It is easy to find both technical talents and extras.
Moreover, shooting in the film and television city has an unparalleled advantage. The local officials will make it convenient.
For example, it is very difficult to apply for bridge and road closures and traffic control in Shanghai, but it is easy to get approval here.
If the panorama is not dismantled for shooting, there will be additional subsidies.
If the movie becomes popular, it will be equivalent to one more internet celebrity check-in point, which can drive regional economic development.
Unfortunately for Lu Beifeng, he happened to encounter traffic control when the crew blocked the road for filming.
One kilometer ahead is the location of Guo Fan's crew. If we take a detour, it will take more than half an hour.
Lu Beifeng didn't want to waste time, so he simply parked the car on the side of the road and walked all the way there.
It was his first time to come to the film and television city, and it was quite interesting to see what he saw along the way.
Zombies and Taoist priests were squatting at the intersection smoking, and bandits, ancient people, Japanese rogues, and eunuchs and knights were sitting in five rows on the steps of the city gate.
When the leader wearing a white hat shouted to invite extra performers, everyone rushed over shouting me, me, me, like picking meat in a vegetable market.
"Hey, it's you, don't leave."
Lu Beifeng was passing by and was suddenly called to his side. He looked around and saw no one else. He turned around and asked, "Are you calling me?"
The leader of the group said: "Yes, you have a pretty good temperament. I'll give you a special offer of 500 yuan a day. Will you do it if you show your face and have lines?"
Lu Beifeng smiled: "What are you playing?"
The leader of the group said impatiently: "The son of a wealthy businessman during the Republic of China."
"Being someone's son? That's not interesting anymore."
Lu Beifeng disliked him very much. He felt that with his temperament, he must be at least a knight, and his emotions were similar to those of Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City.
"Don't pull me down."
After all, Lu Beifeng didn't have the air of a domineering king. The leader of the group snorted and directly picked among the crowd.
There was a middle-aged man in his forties, holding half a watermelon, and asked in a familiar manner: "Brother, why don't you agree? Even if you are not a professional, it is good to experience life. 500 a day is a lot."
Lu Beifeng looked at his face, and his smile became even stronger: "Brother, why are you acting like a real crowd here and not going up to join in the fun?"
"I went to experience it a few times in the past two days. They were either dead bodies or cannon fodder. It's useless."
The middle-aged man said in a narcissistic tone: "So I'm waiting for a discerning person. With my temperament, if nothing else, I should at least act as a hero who serves the country and the people."
Every man has a martial arts dream.
"You do have a good temperament."
Lu Beifeng nodded in agreement. The burly man mentioned by the ancients was probably the old man in front of him. He was 1.85 in height and weighed nearly 200 kilograms. With a beard, he could play the role of an executioner butcher of pigs. He was definitely acting in his true colors.
"Brother, I am a close friend. It is not like my wife and daughter who say I look like a butcher every day."
The middle-aged man was very moved. He broke open the watermelon with his bare hands and gave a clean piece to Lu Beifeng. He enthusiastically recommended: "Try the home-grown watermelon. I picked it just this morning. It is absolutely fresh and sweet. There is not enough for the car."
Lu Beifeng was not polite. He tasted it and it was really good. He asked out of curiosity: "Is my brother doing business here?"
"no."
The middle-aged man shook his head: "My daughter picked up a female lead in a big-budget movie for no reason."
"The weather has been hot recently, and I happen to have an orchard at home. When I have something to do, I usually bring a cart of fruit over to treat the crew. Although it's not worth a few bucks, after all, my daughter has a short mouth. My daughter will at least be more comfortable on the crew from now on.
.”
"Besides, after getting such a big deal, I always feel uneasy if I don't pay something."
Lu Beifeng said: "Can't we tell if our niece is really capable?"
The middle-aged man sneered: "Brother, you are still young and don't understand. There is no difference between strength and lack of strength in this world. To put it bluntly, it is all about human nature. There are many capable people in the world, but how many can stand out?"
"Brother, what you said is very clear."
Lu Beifeng nodded in agreement. The so-called personal connections are formed through exchanges of interests.
He smiled and asked: "Brother, didn't you ask our niece how the role of the female lead came about?"
Middle-aged man: "I asked, and they said it was given to her by her best friend's brother. Why don't I believe it?"
Lu Beifeng: "Maybe it's true?"
"impossible!"
The middle-aged man was very determined. He wanted to continue bragging to Lu Beifeng. Suddenly, he received a message on his mobile phone. He hurriedly said: "Sorry, brother, my wife is looking for me. Please leave her contact information. I will come out for a drink later when I have time. My name is
Xie Jinbao, what is your surname, brother?"
"Lu Beifeng."
After exchanging contact information, Lu Beifeng looked at his hurried away figure and sighed.
Although they have seen each other in the video, why doesn’t Xie Xiaomo’s father recognize her?
This made Mr. Lu very hurt. Could it be that he just had a better temperament and his appearance was really mediocre?
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!
When we arrived at the location of the Wandering Earth crew, we were not allowed to enter without a work permit.
Lu Beifeng found a milk tea shop nearby, ordered a cup of milk tea, and called Qian Li to ask her to come over.
Qian Li hurried over and said hello politely: "Director Lu."
Lu Beifeng hummed, looked towards the door of the set, and asked, "How is Yixue doing lately?"
Qian Li said: "I am too kind, so I am very confused."
Did Lu Beifeng say anything? He was waiting for Qian Li's next words. She said: "The head of the props department outsourced the crew's props to a company at a price 5% higher than the market price, and the entire department enjoyed the 5% rebate.
"
"The production cost of the props is 15 million, and the person in charge is named Wang Meng, who is Director Guo's brother-in-law."
Lu Beifeng took a sip of pearls and asked calmly: "What about the advice you gave me?"
He is not surprised. After all, he is someone who has climbed up from the bottom. Where is the 5%? As far as he knows, the processing industry is really crazy. There is a direct rebate of 200,000 yuan for a million orders, and there are a lot of
Small bosses flock to it. They have no choice. In this world where there are many Party B and few Party A, if you want to survive, you have to get involved. If you get involved in the competition, you can make money.
Qian Li said coldly: "Killing a chicken to scare a monkey will never tolerate it."
Lu Beifeng asked: "Does Guo Fan know?"
"He probably doesn't know."
Lu Beifeng snorted coldly: "He can know."
Let Zhao Yixue be the producer so that she can adapt to society early, not to let society adapt.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish. The world is not only black and white, but also gray.
But he has the strength to make Zhao Yixue's world only black and white, and gray just knows it, there is no need to force himself to accept it.
