Fang Jing smiled and waved his hand, "What's the point of traveling incognito? I happened to pass by just to take a look, and I'll leave in a while. You're busy, so don't worry about me."
"Nazha, you take Xixi to put on makeup, and I'll chat with Mr. Fang for a while." Dapeng wore a shoulder-length gray wig, black-rimmed glasses, and chewed a lollipop. He looked indescribably funny. "Mr. Fang,
Please come here and I will take you around the set."
"It's really unnecessary." Fang Jing shook his head, "You are the male lead, if you want to chat with me, who will act? You act, I can just stand aside and watch."
"Okay, you can do whatever you want. I'll treat you when you finish work at noon."
"Okay." Fang Jing reluctantly agreed. He originally planned to leave at noon, but he couldn't refuse when Dapeng asked.
"Lao Jiang, you chat with Mr. Fang while I go get ready." He raised his hand to summon an assistant director, and Dapeng left.
The assistant director is in his forties, wearing a peaked cap, his hair is shawl, and he has a thick beard.
Fang Jing wondered if all those who engage in art like to have long hair. He saw more than one or two people doing this. Kong Shen also had long hair.
"Director Jiang, don't you all like to have long hair as directors? Wouldn't it be easier to take care of it if you cut it short?"
"You're welcome, just call me Lao Jiang." Scratching his head gently, Lao Jiang forced a smile and said, "I work day and night, and my hair is already short. I'll grow it as long as I can. I'm not used to being naked anymore, and I have no inspiration.
."
This is the first time Fang Jing has heard that long hair can increase inspiration. Does that mean there are more female artists in society?
Having said that, if directors like them don't work "around the clock", they won't lose their hair. How about talking to actresses all night long about scripts every now and then, can they have more hair?
"Lao Jiang, how is the daily shooting progress of the crew now? Can it be completed as planned?"
"No problem, it's going well so far." Lao Jiang pondered for a few seconds and then said: "It's just that the last scene was a bit delayed."
"How do you say that?" Fang Jing frowned. That's not what Dapeng promised him. "Is it because there are not enough extras?"
"That's not true. As long as you have money these days, you can find any number of group members."
"What's going on?"
He knew the location of the last scene, which required more than 5,000 extras. This was the biggest difficulty. Now that people could find it, he really couldn't figure out what other difficulties there were.
"There is a three-second shot of the completion of the big guitar building in the square. According to the current construction speed, I am afraid it will be delayed by three months."
To build a large guitar statue that is more than 20 meters high and weighs more than 200 tons for a three-second shot, the whole team was worried when Dapeng made this suggestion.
It is the right of a great director to be picky, but the basic thing is that there is no shortage of money. Brother Chen Kai can spend hundreds of millions to build the Tang Dynasty for a drama, build the old Yanjing city with small steel cannons, and Jiang Wen burns 250,000 feet of film...
What's going on with Dapeng now? In order to save costs, he didn't ask for any of his salary. Several leading actors were lured into the job by him at low prices, such as Naza and Qiao Shan.
In the era of traffic, it is obvious to all that the price of popular flowers is very high. If Nazha is not worth tens of millions now, it is impossible to hire one.
But Dapeng cheated for a while and summoned people with millions. He was almost scolded to death by Cai Yinong, the sugar man’s eldest sister. Because of his bad movie, Nazar’s business activities were suspended for at least half a year. How much would he lose in this half year?
money?
However, Nazar came here willingly, even though he couldn't persuade him to stop.
"It's a good thing to pay attention to details!" Fang Jing was not unhappy at all. "I can see the crew's hard work. Director Dapeng did a great job in this regard."
Movies are different from TV series, and TV series have dozens of episodes. The shooting cycle is short, so it doesn’t matter if the quality is a little bit different, it doesn’t matter if props appear occasionally, and it doesn’t matter if the acting skills are a bit poor.
But the movie compresses the love and hatred in a story and what the director wants to express in less than two hours.
The cinema screen is so big that any mistakes made by the actors can be clearly seen. Many viewers are also picky about it. Whether it is acting skills or props, a truly good director can work hard on details.
"Mr. Fang, drink water!" Lao Jiang was overjoyed to get the investor's understanding, and he was relieved in his heart. What he feared the most was that the investor didn't understand anything and would accuse them of misuse of money.
Fang Jing is an open-minded person, no wonder he is in the position he is today. His knowledge and vision are not comparable to those vulgar businessmen who are full of copper odor.
"Thank you!" After taking the mineral water, Fang Jing opened the cap and suddenly asked, "By the way, how much does it cost to build that big guitar?"
"Six million!"
"Pfft!" Fang Jing spurted out a mouthful of water and turned his head in disbelief, "How much?"
This guy spent 6 million to repair a guitar and appeared on camera for three seconds. Dapeng doesn’t regard money as money.
"Twenty-two meters high, more than two hundred tons." Without explanation, Lao Jiang told the tonnage of the guitar. He believed that Mr. Fang was a man who understood justice well.
Feeling depressed, it took Fang Jing a long time to recover. In his previous life, the Sewing Machine Band did have a big guitar, but he thought it was a model worth hundreds of thousands.
Who knew it would cost six million? This would be a knife to cut into the flesh of their investor fathers. I had never heard Dapeng say he wanted so much money before.
"No wonder you invited me to dinner at noon." Fang Jing recalled Dapeng's expression. He was afraid that if he asked him for additional investment, six million to repair a guitar would be 100% insufficient for the crew.
"Tell Dapeng that I have something else to do and I can't have dinner with him at noon. We'll meet him next time."
You still have a meal, so hurry up and leave. If it's any later, Dapeng will ask for money. I don't want to stay in this place for a second.
On the one hand, he agreed with Dapeng's approach, which paid attention to details. On the other hand, it was really painful to spend money. Six million to repair a guitar was something Fang Jing had never done in his life.
With so much money, I can save hundreds of children in impoverished mountainous areas who cannot afford to go to school, but I have to spend it on the movie. It is really confusing.
"Wait! You went there?"
Coming out of the dressing room, Dapeng happened to hear Fang Jing about to leave and hurriedly ran over to hold him back, "Haha, let's play more. Let's have a good chat during lunch."
"Dapeng, I really have something to do. I can't eat this meal. Let's do it next time, next time."
"No, I'm looking for you for something." Dapeng couldn't keep anyone here, so he said directly, "There will be a scene in two days that requires the use of several musical instruments. Aren't you a musician? Can I lend you a few for emergency purposes?"
."
Can I borrow this thing? Fang Jing almost heard something wrong, and it took him a few seconds to react, "Isn't it just a few musical instruments? Find a musical instrument store, and you can rent it for a few hundred a day. If you don't have enough money, it's mine."
"This is not a matter of hundreds of dollars. What I need are luxury guitars and antique guitars. If I rent them, I have to go through a lot of procedures, including a deposit and a company certificate. It's too troublesome."
"Dapeng, you're drifting." Fang Jing looked into his eyes seriously.
Antique guitars and expensive guitars were used in filming. Is this the bad movie director in Pancake Man?
Through the screen, the audience can’t tell whether it’s a luxury guitar or not. You can definitely use props for this kind of thing. Free shipping online at 128. There are all kinds of cool ones.
"It's not important." Dapeng said anxiously, "I checked online and found out that you have a guitar worth more than 600,000 yuan, right? I want that one, and I'll figure out a solution for the other antiques."
"Okay, okay, I'll borrow it!"
The guitar costing more than 600,000 yuan was given as a gift by someone else. It was usually used to show off. Fang Jing would not buy that kind of fancy guitar. Generally, a guitar worth more than 100,000 yuan is very good.
As long as you don't ask for money, you can say anything.
