The filming of "Dream Traveler" has reached the middle stage.
Although it is a big investment, many aspects focus on special effects, and the requirements for people's acting skills are not high.
In short, as long as you can pass the test.
Shen Lianjie has recently become addicted to cigarettes. He smokes one or two packs every day. At the same time, his chin is covered with stubble and his face looks very old.
It is hard to imagine that in about a month, Shen Lianjie gradually developed from a young man in a suit to a middle-aged uncle...
He is under great pressure!
After being severely beaten by Lu Yuan several times, he was no longer the person who thought he was invincible after making big investments.
Likewise, the confidence I felt during the filming of "Capital" completely disappeared.
In fact, although the shooting speed of "Dream Traveler" was not slow, it was not easy to shoot. In particular, the big-name Hollywood actor Catherine in the crew was particularly difficult to manage. Because of her position, she actually exceeded the nature of an actor several times. , forcing himself to add drama, and similarly, Liu Kai, one of the protagonists of the internationally renowned movie star, also looks like Catherine.
The director should be authoritative.
However, after encountering a really powerful big shot, but Shen Lianjie was not qualified enough and couldn't hold him down at all, this led to a feeling that the director's status in the crew was really not great.
If it were the past, Shen Lianjie could tell people who didn't listen to him to go away without saying a word.
But now...
He didn't dare.
Can you offend famous Hollywood actresses?
Can Liu Kai be offended by himself?
No, I can't afford to offend you.
Not only must he not be offended, but he must also be carefully served.
He couldn't help it.
This movie is his only last chance to take off. If he can't seize this opportunity, he might as well go back to his hometown to deliver food...
He’s still a chicken director!
Therefore, he is worried.
Ever since he became a director, he has never encountered anything so frustrating.
So, what do you think he can do?
Not at all...
During the break, assistant Xiao Zhang slowly walked towards Shen Lianjie.
"Director Shen, are you looking for me?"
"Well, by the way, how is the soundtrack of the movie going?"
"We have talked about it, but the soundtracks by famous masters in Hollywood are more expensive. All in all, it costs five million US dollars."
"Five million US dollars? Wait, what did you say, nearly 40 million yuan?"
"Yes, it is impossible for a company to approve such an expensive price..."
"Hmm... I understand. Then we can only find domestic ones? There are also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in China..."
"Yes, I think so too."
"Well, then go and do your work."
"Okay, by the way, Director Shen, there's something I don't know whether to say or not..."
"What's the meaning?"
"The crew has been very negative these days, especially the second male lead Shen Hui, who is dissatisfied with his pay!"
"What, you've been given a salary of three million yuan and you're still not satisfied?"
"Yes! He hopes to increase his remuneration... His agent also means the same thing..."
"He must be crazy, he is still from Joaquin, how could he do this!"
"His... contract with the company has expired and he has signed with Tianyu. Now he is negotiating with us as a collaborator..."
"He has signed a filming contract with us."
"Yes, but he started to act rogue. Although he was filming, his mood was obviously very negative, and he was obviously messing around... This is not a breach of contract, and this is not the worst. The worst thing is that the other supporting actors in the crew also want Increase the pay, it’s summer now, they feel hot, and they feel they have done too much work..."
"Damn it! Are these people going to rebel?"
Shen Lianjie closed his eyes silently.
He couldn't help but curse.
The movie is halfway through filming, and you suddenly say you want to increase the pay. What do you mean?
After a long silence, he finally opened his eyes.
He thought of Lu Yuan.
Yes.
Even if Lu Yuan is the heroine, his salary won't be very high, right?
"What's going on with Lu Yuan's crew? Are they also clamoring for a salary increase?"
"No...I didn't hear any commotion at all."
"That's right, Lu Yuan used a group of college students and sidekicks. Even if they wanted to make trouble, they couldn't cause trouble. The only big shot in the crew was An Xiao. With more than 100 million in sponsorship fees, Lu Yuan could still treat An Xiao badly. "?" Looking outside the window, Shen Lianjie felt a little tired.
For some reason, he found more and more that he was no longer comparable to Lu Yuan.
Even Lu Yuan seemed to be completely blown away in every aspect.
"Director Shen..."
"What's up?"
"According to my investigation, An Xiao's salary should not exceed 3 million... The total salary of several other important supporting roles is less than 1 million... As for Lu Yihong, Fatty Wei and others, they basically get it for free... Of course, Lu Yuan himself does not count as a salary..."
"..."
"I now seriously doubt that Lu Yuan's total salary will not exceed five million..." Xiao Zhang looked at Shen Lianjie silently.
"..."
After hearing this, Shen Lianjie's heart slowly sank.
Even sunk to the bottom.
No more than five million...
Damn it!
You have a sponsorship fee of 100 million, are you so stingy?
"Okay, you go down first..."
"Um."
As Shen Lianjie sat on his office chair, a deep sense of powerlessness came over him. At this moment, he suddenly found that his crew had become troubled internally and externally.
foreign aggression……
Lu Yuan, the wild wolf, was showing his fangs and seemed to be considering how to bite himself.
Internal worries...
He now seriously suspects that someone is secretly doing something to him!
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so much going on in the crew!
He rubbed his temples and lit another cigarette.
About half an hour later, Xiao Zhang suddenly ran into the house in a panic...
"Director Shen...it's not good..."
"What's wrong?"
"There was something wrong with the lunch boxes in the crew. More than ten people had diarrhea after eating the lunch boxes... including Liu Kai... Everyone seems to be very emotional now..."
"What!"
Shen Lianjie's expression changed drastically!
……………………
"Dream Traveler" has been quiet in August.
Although the popularity is not bad, it has always been overwhelmed by Lu Yuan's "Westward Journey".
In early September, when students all started school, countless news suddenly broke out about "Dream Traveler".
The popularity of Lu Yuan's "Westward Journey" was completely suppressed. Not only was it suppressed, but it was also ranked third in popularity.
undoubtedly……
From a publicity perspective, "Dream Traveler" is very successful!
After all, Lu Yuan was suppressed, everyone in the entertainment industry was suppressed, and the love scandal news about the unlucky Chen Feng was even pushed out of the top ten...
Chen Feng almost cried when he saw how unnoticed he was.
However, after seeing the headlines of "Dream Traveler", he instantly sympathized.
"Food poisoning occurred in the Chinese-American co-production blockbuster "Dream Traveler"! The food supplier has been controlled and the lunch box has been sent to the hospital for examination..."
"Catherine: This is an unstable crew, this is an incompetent director!"
"Liu Kai: Sorry, I just had a gastric lavage and my stomach is really uncomfortable! I never eat boxed lunches. Yesterday, I wanted to try the crew's boxed lunches, but I didn't expect... If the crew always provides such expired lunches
As for the low-quality lunch boxes, I really feel for those walk-ons and low-level actors..."
"yes!"
"I... in the crew, even though my salary is low, I still do more work than others every day. Look here, here... we still need human rights even if we are just side jobs!"
"I won't take pictures anymore. Whoever likes to take pictures will take pictures... My stomach hurts..."
"..."
"..."
The crew of "Dream Traveler" exploded.
After Joaquin heard the news, he was originally prepared to suppress the news immediately, but after Liu Kai and Catherine suddenly spoke out, everything could no longer be suppressed!
The speeches of international stars naturally have endless appeal!
There are more than a thousand characters in the entire crew.
In fact, it was not a big deal if only a dozen people had diarrhea after eating takeaway. In fact, in the past, this matter would have been handled with a little care and would not cause any trouble.
But unfortunately, Liu Kai has been there for more than ten years...
As soon as Liu Kai became angry, the others seemed to be incited by someone, and all their negative emotions exploded.
"The food safety of such a crew is worrying!"
"I think we should pay attention to the actors at the bottom, they are human beings too!"
"I agree..."
Weibo celebrities from all walks of life immediately expressed their opinions after seeing the news.
After they joined, Weibo's popularity exploded again.
Lu Yuan's popularity.
Well, his popularity was bumped down to second place.
This time, all aspects were completely suppressed.
But……
Shen Lianjie did not feel happy.
Instead, he started to feel anxious.
If this matter is not handled well, it will really become a typical example.
………………………………
"Mr. Lu... something happened."
"What? What happened?"
"A lot of negative things happened on the crew of "Dream Traveler"...the headlines immediately exploded!"
"Really? I'm going to read the headlines..."
"Um."
Morning.
After hearing Wu Tingting's solemn expression, Lu Yuan silently opened the headlines and saw a series of news.
He was stunned.
Then he breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief.
The lunch boxes given by Shen Lianjie were not sent by his own family.
It's not a big problem with myself.
But then his heart twitched.
A few hot topics on the headlines are about salary increases!
Yes!
Although "Dream Traveler" has nothing to do with me in any way, if the public opinion about increasing the salary increases, wouldn't it be a big problem for me to have such a low salary in "Westward Journey"?
And the work done by the employees on my own crew...
It seems to be much more than "Dream Traveler".
"Wu Tingting, how is the mood in our crew?"
"Emotions were very high, and everyone was scolding..."
"What!" Lu Yuan thought to himself, "I'll go to the crew first to have a look..."
Are you all scolding me?
How can this be done?
Lu Yuan was shocked.
She left the house without even listening to Wu Tingting's words.
Wu Tingting then followed Lu Yuan out.
It’s completely impossible for you to say that there won’t be any repercussions this time. If it’s not handled well, something big might happen to the crew!
