The puddle is more than one meter deep and seven or eight meters wide, with sand underneath.
What the crew needed to create was a winter feeling, and there was no hot water. Zhang Mingen had to do everything by himself.
"Director, it's almost done. Can you let me take a breath before shooting? I'm afraid I won't be able to breathe if I don't take a break."
"Okay, come up first, rest for fifteen minutes and continue filming."
"Wow!!"
As soon as the director finished speaking, Zhang Mingen had already jumped out of the water and sprinted to the electric stove at a speed of 100 meters. He took off his clothes and wrapped himself in a big cotton jacket, shivering.
"Do you feel okay?" Not far away, Xu Shi walked over with a smile.
"That's great, madam." Zhang Mingen's tongue trembled and he couldn't speak clearly, "Mr. Xu, please give me some warm water anytime."
"No, it's foggy. It will cost you money later. Please be more patient. Just now, your boss called you specifically to ask about your situation. If it doesn't work, I'll replace you." Xu Shi smiled evilly and said that he was on the phone with Fang Jing.
The record appears.
"It's okay, I can still bear it!" Zhang Mingen's smile was uglier than bitter.
At first, I thought I was getting the treatment of soaking in mineral water. After all, big brands do this. Who knew that Xu Shi was drinking tap water directly? It was so sour and refreshing, not to mention how comfortable it was.
"Young people have to endure more hardships." Xu Shi grinned and patted Zhang Mingen on the shoulder, "Do you know why you don't get warm water treatment? In addition to the limited funds of the crew, it's also because you are not popular."
"If Fang Jing were to film this, even if the crew dozens of miles away were frying pots and selling iron, they would be able to boil hot water for him."
Xu Shi fooled for a moment, and Zhang Mingen nodded in agreement.
If Fang Jing were to scream injustice here, he never uses hot water when filming. Most of the time, he can do it by himself without using a substitute, especially in some kissing scenes and sex scenes.
"So, in order to be able to soak in the hot water for future filming, work hard. When this drama is aired, I believe you will become a hit."
The crew is also a movie theater. The bigger your status in the movie theater, the greater the benefits you can enjoy. The extras get a six-yuan lunch box, and the stars eat eight dishes and one soup.
Actors wear tattered and smelly clothes, stars have their own special use.
The sun is low and the actor is exposed to the sun, while the celebrity owns an RV.
A day for a bit player, a day for a star.
The stars discussed the script with the director in the middle of the night, and the supporting actor could only listen to them discuss the script from a distance.
Don't say anything unfair, the truth is so cruel.
"Ah! Mr. Xu, I know all this. I want to ask if you can stand far away from me and block the sun."
Originally, the sun was not very bright, so it was rare for Zhang Mingen to rest for a while, but Xu Shihao stayed above him.
Needless to say, there are rules on the set, and it’s not like he just left school and didn’t know anything.
Xu Shi smiled and looked like a child who can be taught, I am very optimistic about your eyes.
Sure enough, actors who have experienced severe beatings from society are different. They are much better than those stupid young people who have just left school.
He had also gone to a film school to recruit people before, and those students were young and very talkative. They wanted two men and three men, and some told him that they could not shoot more than ten hours a day.
Xu Shiqi laughed at that time. Those who knew were hiring actors, but those who didn’t know thought they were hiring ancestors and worked from nine to five. Do you think I have to hire a few girls to give you a massage to relax you when you rest at night?
Actors earn a lot of money in this industry, but it is relatively hard work. Those who earn hundreds of thousands by chanting 1, 2, 3, 4 every day are big-name traffic. Most actors are similar to Zhang Mingen, and they are soaking in water.
The best actor Huang Bo used to get into sewers and smeared mud on his face that made him want to vomit. Liu Tianwang filmed The Lost Orphan and had the group members slap him on the face wildly. He filmed Rescue My Mr. who was strangled with a rope and his face turned blue.
Zha Zhahui's fingers were broken during the fierce battle, and Chen Long's fingers were broken, not to mention that it was abnormal for him to have a few ribs.
"Work hard, and if you make money later, I'll give you a big red envelope."
"Thank you, Mr. Xu! I don't care whether it's money or not. As long as you remember to find me next time there's something like the protagonist, I'll be there when you call me."
Seeing Zhang Mingen being so polite, Xu Shi nodded lightly, hummed, and left with a smile on his steps.
It's easy to worry when you meet a sensible actor.
Although Zhang Mingen kept complaining that he was tired, he never came ashore until the director said stop.
…
"Mr. Fang, what do you think?"
"I would like to ask how you performed your last scene. Such a big scene requires a lot of actors. There are no such people anywhere in Yanjing." Meeting Dapeng again, Fang Jing raised his question.
Yesterday, he made a video chat with Yang Ning. The company asked a lot of questions about the investment in the Sewing Machine Band. In addition to considering Dapeng's reputation, there were also concerns about setting up and filming.
According to the script, Dapeng will use more than 5,000 people in the final scene, of which 700 to 800 people in the front row will play guitar or drums, which is a bit embarrassing.
How can ordinary group members know these things? It’s impossible for them to sign up to learn drums for a few tens of dollars, right?
"I have thought of this question for a long time." Dapeng was shocked and secretly rejoiced. If he didn't refuse, it was still possible. He was not afraid of Fang Jing asking, but what he was afraid of was that he would just leave without asking.
"I have talked to the principal of Yanjing Midi Music School before, and they are willing to provide us with hundreds of students to be group members. They will bring their own instruments. All the crew needs to do is reimburse the students for their round-trip fares."
The remaining few thousand group members are a trivial matter. There are many people in local factories who do not work during the day, and with the addition of residents and tenants, it is easy to gather a few thousand people.
Fang Jing was surprised. He didn't expect that Dapeng was so powerful that he could even get through to the Midi Music School.
Midi Music School majors in musical instruments, erhu, guitar, drums, piano, wind instruments, suona, both Eastern and Western. The students are familiar with musical instruments, and the current platoon members could not be better.
"Actually, the principal's original suggestion to me was to go to the last Midi Music Festival. Where there are many people, not to mention thousands, tens of thousands of people can attend, and there are a lot of professional singers."
"Then why don't you go?" Fang Jing smiled as soon as he said this. If Dapeng could go, he would have gone earlier. As China's top music festival, a director can go and shoot wherever he wants.
Even front-line directors don’t look down on you!
After asking many questions one after another, Fang Jing and Dapeng chatted for more than an hour. When they went out, Dapeng smiled and walked him to the door of the hotel.
Watching Fang Jing background leave, he took out his cell phone and Dapeng made a call.
"Liu Yan, thank you for the money. I have an investor here."
"Congratulations then. Just in time, I saved six million. However, you said you would borrow it yesterday and you said you wouldn't borrow it today. Aren't you kidding me?"
Hearing the relaxed tone on the other side, Dapeng smiled and said, "Next time I come to Yanjing, I'll treat you to a meal to make amends."
Dapeng has a wide network of contacts, but he doesn’t have many real friends in the circle, and the otaku goddess Liu Yan is one of them. The two have known each other for many years, and they started encouraging each other when they were still living in the basement.
Worried that Fang Jing would not be able to get the money, Dapeng prepared the worst yesterday and called to borrow money. The first one was Liu Yan. Without further ado, Liu Yan agreed to borrow six million.
After last year's bridesmaid incident, Liu Yan has been out of roles, and there is a vague tendency to be semi-blocked. Life is difficult, so being able to give 6 million to Dapeng is considered to be his best effort.
