It was lunchtime, and the crew was taking a break. The staff had packed lunches, and the actors had special working meals. The levels were clearly defined.
It's not like what is said on the Internet, where big-name artists and staff members mingle together and eat the same food.
It's not that there are no such actors, but there are very few. Most actors enjoy their own privileges, such as staying in star-rated hotels and eating special meals.
And not only the actors, but also the big and small leaders in the crew eat different meals, but these are also normal. There is not so much fairness in this world, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people thinking about it.
I squeezed into the entertainment industry.
But even the lunch box provided for the extras is actually pretty good, with meat and vegetables, and chicken legs.
In the director's room, Su Qing and Wang Fan were giving Director Deng and others a meal.
"Mr. Su, I'd like to propose a toast to you!" Seeing this, the assistant director stood up quickly.
Su Qing raised his glass: "You're welcome, but I'm not a good drinker, so I'll drink less beer. Sorry!"
While talking, Director Wang also spoke from the side: "I don't drink alcohol at all. You should drink less. Don't delay the filming in the afternoon!"
As he said this, he glanced at Deng Wenxiong and signaled him not to do this.
In recent times, Wang Fan has been a frequent visitor to the wine table, so he is naturally very familiar with these things.
"Yes, yes, work is important, work is important." Director Deng received the signal and quickly smiled.
Su Qing never drank a glass of wine. Although it was a simple drink, let alone the food on the table was quite sumptuous.
After almost eating, Su Qing couldn't help but talk about business: "Director Deng, how much work does our crew still have to do, and when will it be completed?"
Hearing this, Director Deng and others also looked at it seriously: "Seventy or eighty percent has been completed. The rest of the rush work should be completed by the end of this month or the beginning of next month, plus the post-production time."
, it should be released in June. We will promote it in advance and strive to achieve good results.
And don’t worry, you have already read our script. Although it is a remake, it has been tested by the market. Also, the cast is definitely good. I can see the level of several teachers. There is absolutely no problem. I
Have confidence in our work.”
Su Qing has watched several of the leading actors in this movie. They are all famous actors in comedy. He has no doubts about this.
And almost all of them are from Mahua, and their acting skills are absolutely unparalleled, especially the heroine, who is the golden partner of the military art school idol, who has been in the Spring Festival Gala. In addition, in the past few years, the comedy movies made by Mahua are indeed among the best.
It is a hit in China, and as long as the script is good, it is almost impossible to be a bad movie.
It created one classic scene after another, not to mention the narration prompts. Su Qing herself was very confident when faced with this kind of script and cast.
"Then I'll wait and see. It's just a pity that our movie won't be released on May Day!" Su Qing said with a smile.
Hearing this, Deng Dao laughed dryly and did not answer the conversation. As an insider, he naturally knew something about Teng Hua's recent use of his and Director Wang's conversation to gain traffic.
Some people even asked Wang Fan privately, and naturally they understood in their hearts that for this kind of thing, everyone would naturally avoid it as much as possible. After all, it would not do them any good.
Tang Nan went to meet fellow actors to communicate. After all, she would soon have a project in hand, and she might be able to recruit people for her crew.
In short, actors have their own circle of actors, and directors also have their own circle of directors.
It was a pretty good meal. Su Qing was not only here for inspection today, but also wanted to see the scene where they were filming.
At 1:30 in the afternoon, the director and others greeted the staff, and the actors were in place, ready to start working. Su Qing and Director Wang were arranged in an excellent position.
Although most people's eyes were on the actors, there were still some eyes looking towards them.
But fortunately, this is the crew here, and Su Qing is not afraid of others looking at him. He can be regarded as an Internet celebrity at most. There are celebrities here, so what should he be afraid of?
"Hey, here's another one! Teacher Wei, please control your expression. Teacher Ma, please stop laughing!"
"I'm not a director. When I saw him, I just laughed, no, hahahaha!"
Ma Dongmei's devilish laughter came out, and even the surrounding staff couldn't help but laugh.
Watching behind-the-scenes footage at the scene feels like watching a sketch.
Regarding these professional matters, Su Qing never made any unreasonable comments, just laughed and it was done. Anyway, the narrator had already given a hint. They could not lose money on this movie, but they could still make a lot of money. In this case, why should they care about the process?
?
"Brother, how are you? The crew is quite interesting, right?" Wang Fan asked with a smile.
Su Qing nodded: "Indeed, it's just the glory of the big people and the obscurity of the little people!"
"Hey, it's not like this in all walks of life. Just get used to it. Director Deng told me just now that he arranged for a few friends to have dinner with you in the evening. They are all people in the circle. They will be very helpful to the future development of your company.
beneficial."
"Don't worry, bro. I know that even if I have money, if I want to invest in a good script, he still needs to know more people. By the way, where is Brother Nan?" Su Qing looked around and found that he didn't see Tang.
Nan's figure.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Tang took a call and left first. The director of her project should be here," Hu Xiaoling said from the side.
Hearing this, Su Qing was stunned, but she didn't expect her to move very quickly.
"Mr. Su, this is my latest work report, please take a look at it!" Dong Li took out a folder and handed it over. Su Qing glanced at her, took it and flipped through it.
"This Killer Is Not Calm" Account Details
The first page is marked with the total investment, and then the salaries of several leading and supporting actors. The highest paid person is not Wei Chenggong, the male protagonist, but Milan, played by the heroine Teacher Ma, with 15 million. Wei Chenggong, the protagonist, has the highest salary.
Success is just a fraction, and with the other supporting roles, the pay ranges from a few hundred to a thousand, so this thing is indeed hugely profitable.
Of course, Su Qing also knew that the list in his hand was inaccurate, but he just took a rough look.
Because the narration had already prompted him when he saw the accounting details at the first glance.
[The clear bill shall be based on the actual item. Dong Li also received some benefits from it, but it is insignificant.】
Although Tang Nan had told him about this situation a long time ago, he was still a little unhappy. Of course, he also knew that it was not entirely Dong Li's fault.
After all, the crew had already started filming before she passed away, and she didn't fully know some of the things in it. If the director wanted to, he would naturally have a way to do it.
The rest are construction costs, employee wages, food standards, and prop wear and tear. Each item is clearly marked. It must be said that the preparation work was done very seriously.
"What's wrong bro?"
Seeing Su Qing frowning from time to time, Wang Fan couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, I just didn't expect that making a movie would be so expensive, especially the extra expenses!" Su Qing laughed.
Hearing this, Wang Fan immediately knew what he was talking about. He gently covered the detailed list with his hand and said with a smile:
"As an investor, I will naturally have this idea, but if you really do all the steps yourself, how can you do anything else! These things." After saying that, he glanced at Dong Li, and then continued.
: "Just look at it and don't take it seriously. Unless it is a low-cost production, it is possible to be relatively rigorous. What do you think? Even the 80 million you invested in me in the end was a lot of luxury.
, let’s just see the results.”
Although Wang Fan didn't say it clearly, it was pretty much the same. There were a lot of twists and turns in it, and after all, everyone had to get it right.
In response, Su Qing also nodded. The narrator had reminded him at the beginning that he and Director Deng were just a one-time deal, and there was no possibility of continued cooperation. The main person was well-known and would not be short of investment in the future.
Soon, an afternoon passed, and the crew finished work early today. Director Deng pulled him and Director Wang together with great enthusiasm.
"Mr. Su, I'm going to be my host today, and you must appreciate it. I have a few friends who have always wanted to meet Mr. Su."
"It's easy to say. I also want to make more friends."
Soon, in a high-end restaurant in the city, he met Tang Nan who was called back.
"Have you done everything over there?"
"That's about right. We've been chatting all afternoon and will go to the company tomorrow to finalize it. Then you can help me check it out!"
In response, Su Qing nodded.
Soon, the three of them were brought into a box by Director Deng. There were already a lot of people inside, nearly a dozen people.
As soon as they opened the door, everyone in the room stood up to greet them.
"Old Deng, you are finally here!"
"I've just been waiting for you for a while!"
"Sit down, sit down!"
The people in the room greeted him warmly. Although they were talking to Director Deng, they were all looking at Su Qing. It was obvious that they had all received the news.
"Hahaha, come on, let me introduce to you, this, Wang Fan, Director Wang, and Miss Tang Nantang, you should all know each other, so I won't introduce more. Ha, this Mr. Su, from our crew
The investor has now founded a film and television investment company, and he is here to meet you today!" Director Deng introduced.
When everyone heard this, they quickly stepped forward and extended their hands to say hello.
"Hello, Mr. Su, I have long admired your name!"
"Mr. Su is indeed young and promising!"
"I have long wanted to meet Mr. Su. Old Deng has always said that Mr. Su is very grand, and today we are able to meet him!"
Su Qing shook hands with them one by one, and Deng Wenxiong on the side was quietly introducing these people to him. They were all directors and assistant directors.
Of course, there were not all the people in the room. In addition to these directors, there were four beautifully dressed women, and two of them looked familiar to him. He had seen them online, but he couldn't remember their names for a while.
To put it simply, they are fourth- and fifth-tier artists who look familiar but cannot recognize their names.
"Hello Mr. Su, I am a fan of Dahuang. I also follow your account and watch your videos often."
At this moment, one of the women, who was dressed sexyly and had a piece of snow-white chest exposed, stepped forward and stretched out her hand to say hello to him.
The moment Tang Nan saw her from the side, he immediately frowned.
"Hello!" Su Qing shook hands with him.
But the next second, he felt his palm being scratched.
"Mr. Su will have a few drinks later!"
[After knowing that you are coming, not only the director wants to make friends with you, but some female artists also want to get a piece of the pie. Thirty-Six Strategies for Beauty]
Su Qing nodded expressionlessly and let go of his hand. Seeing this, Tang Nan quickly stepped forward and whispered in his ear:
"Zhang Hanjing, an actress with a bad reputation, be careful!"
Su Qing:.
Suddenly he felt that today's meal was not so delicious.
