Chapter 74 Even if you know it's true, you can't say it
"It is indeed Director Zhang's crew that is a legend in the industry! It is just as rumored outside. Even the lunch boxes in Director Zhang's crew are made by the chef with four dishes and one soup! There are also fruit drinks and desserts after meals!"
"No, I knew this before when we were filming "The Red Dust". Otherwise, why would I have brought you all the way here to be extras this time?"
"Hit! Sure enough!"
Listening to the compliments around him, Zhang Hong felt that the big fried twice-cooked pork in his mouth suddenly lost its taste.
Is this what I said yesterday?
Did this guy Lin Chuan mess with me on purpose?
After eating the tasteless meal, Zhang Hong slipped Lin Chuanti into an empty men's room.
By the way, there are actually three toilets for men and women.
Two of them, one for men and one for men, are for everyone to use, and the other ones that are free are for the big guys.
And now Zhang Hong took Lin Chuan to a corner of one of the men's restrooms dedicated to bosses.
Lin Chuan didn't understand a bit: "Brother Hong, what are you doing? These days, even going to the toilet requires teamwork?"
"Group your uncle." Zhang Hong said expressionlessly, "Tell me why your boy betrayed the organization."
Hearing these words, Lin Chuan's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat: "I didn't! I'm not! I don't know anything!"
When he said this, Zhang Hong became suspicious: "Did you really deliberately misunderstand me?"
"Ah?" Lin Chuan felt confused, "Brother Hong, how do you say this?"
Brother Daqing Hong still doesn’t know that he is an undercover agent, so that’s okay.
Zhang Hong lit a cigarette and said irritably: "Didn't I tell you yesterday that we need to reduce costs and reduce costs, but you are going against me? Are you going to cause trouble?"
"Ah?" Lin Chuan paused as he took out a cigar from his pocket, "Brother Hong, don't you want me to increase my efforts to improve everyone's conditions?"
Zhang Hong gritted his teeth: "Fuck you! When did I say that?"
Lin Chuan asked doubtfully: "But if we want everyone to eat well, doesn't it mean to go in the direction of large portions and good taste? To sleep well and rest well, doesn't it mean to provide everyone with good rest conditions?"
Zhang Hong's eyes were bloodshot: "I'm talking about eating well and having a place to sleep! It doesn't have to be too good if you're full! Just enough! There's a place to sleep, just don't make it fancy, just have a bed.
!”
Lin Chuan retorted: "Brother Na Hong, just say it! I told you at the time that if you have something to say, just say it, and you still go around me. In private, it's just the two of us. Of course, if you go around me like this, you should take it literally.
To understand.”
Zhang Hong opened his mouth, but he was speechless.
But he is the boss and he has the final say.
So he gave Lin Chuan a Taizu long punch on the chest, and said angrily: "Why are you wearing such a high-end suit today? It looks like you are rich, right? And you smoke cigars? Do you think my smoking quality is too low!"
Lin Chuan: "..."
You might as well just tell me why I'm not wearing a hat today.
But Lin Chuan didn't dare to say this.
"Brother Nahong, what do you mean..."
Zhang Hong sighed and decided to speak directly from now on: "Just lower the lunch box and accommodation grade for me. I can save some money."
Lin Chuan hesitated: "Isn't this bad..."
"Unlike you, a rich second-generation idiot, I have to work hard to make money on my own!"
"No, I mean this is not good for you, Brother Hong, but I am on your side and thinking about it for you."
"Huh?" Zhang Hong took a puff of cigarette, "How do you say this?"
Is there any benefit to me saving money?
"Brother Hong, this involves an impression issue." Senior rich second-generation Lin Chuan began to explain, "It's true that you want to save money, but saving money is not such an economical way."
Calmly lighting the cigar, Lin Chuan began to impart his experience: "You have given such good conditions now, and then you say you want to cut it off. Even if it is still the best in the industry after cutting it off, everyone will feel a gap.
Once there is a gap, everyone will subconsciously find fault with the filming or not work hard. In this way, the filming time will be prolonged, whether it is the salary of the actors or the daily wages of the extras, including the wear and tear and maintenance of the equipment, this
It's all costs.
It may even be more expensive to do it this way than it was before.
And it's not over yet.
From the current point of view, the shooting progress and effects are perfect. So what if the expenditure reduction leads to a decrease in quality as you said? Will China Heavy Industry Union buy it?
After all, they gave me one billion.
What can you do if someone refuses to accept the debt and takes back the remaining money?"
Zhang Hong was sweating profusely after hearing this.
Yes! What he said...seems to make some sense?
Zhang Hong really has no experience in this area.
In the past, he was just a wage earner, an ordinary office worker, a harvested leek. He really didn't understand the twists and turns here.
Then you need to ask someone who understands this.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Just go with what we have now." Lin Chuan was full of confidence, "Brother Hong, it is true that we have spent 500 million, but this is a fixed expenditure. China Heavy Industries or Mr. Liang wants this effect. This money is not enough
Flowers are not good.
And of the remaining money, even if we really spend it wildly, how much of it can be spent?"
Zhang Hong thought carefully for a while, and suddenly felt...it seemed to make sense.
He is a quite simple man.
At the beginning of filming, it was just a matter of chasing ducks to get it on the shelves. Once I traveled through time and realized that I had become a director, I had to shoot the scene.
Then the "keyboard warrior" mentality came into play, thinking that I said I was really good, and ended up biting the bullet.
Then after the first TV series was filmed, he found that he had actually made money!
I earned 800,000 yuan from the TV series and 500,000 yuan from writing songs. That’s 1.3 million yuan!
Although it costs a lot to open a studio, Zhang Hong feels that it is not a waste.
Because if you take on TV series later, you can make money back!
He is a relatively simple person, or more able to comfort himself.
As long as I make more money next time than last time, or more than before, I will be very satisfied.
For example, if he goes to work and earns 3,000 yuan a month, and then changes jobs and can earn 5,000 yuan a month, then he will be very satisfied.
Because if calculated, three thousand a month is thirty-six thousand a year.
If it's 5,000, it's 60,000 a year.
There is a difference of 24,000 yuan between the inside and outside. If converted into 3,000 yuan a month's salary, it is equivalent to earning eight months more salary.
So even though he only made 800,000 yuan in "The Red Dust", he still felt very happy. That's the reason.
And now what Lin Chuan said makes sense.
Even if you spend money, where can you spend it?
That’s one billion!
So what if there are only more than 400 million left?
Can you still spend it all?
Even if I spent 990 million in the end, I could still earn 10 million!
It's like he made the 12.5 movie "Clouds Fall into the Red Dust"!
Zhang Hong suddenly woke up.
Yes! Fishing for water will not bring good results!
This is good now!
He put his arms around Lin Chuan's shoulders and punched him with a smile: "Ah Chuan, I really have you! This rich second generation really didn't get it for nothing!"
Lin Chuan covered his chest and sneered: "What the hell, Brother Hong, you are a person who does big things. It's normal not to care about such small things."
"Okay, then I'll go filming first. Everything, including lunch boxes and accommodation, will remain as usual!"
"Okay!"
After the two of them came out of the toilet together, Lin Chuan breathed a long sigh of relief as he watched Zhang Hong leave: "Finally, I got over this fooling. It's really hard for me. But I didn't expect that Brother Hong was filming for money."
"It's not about the money."
Lin Chuan was startled because the voice that appeared behind him was so familiar.
Looking back, sure enough.
The "Lin family devil" was standing behind him calmly.
It doesn't make sense. She and Brother Hong were in the toilet just now. Moreover, the toilet was built by herself at a huge cost, so the sound insulation and quality are naturally very good. There is no reason for her to know what we were talking about.
Then Lin Chuan's expression changed, he reached into his trouser pocket, and took out something that was only one-third the size of a button.
"Wiretap?!" Lin Chuan's face turned blank, "When did you put such a thing on me?!"
"Don't worry about these details." Lin Muqing naturally changed the subject.
She said calmly: "No one understands Zhang Hong better than me. He is actually being tough or testing you."
As expected, Lin Chuan did not continue the topic: "Ah? What should I say?"
"The purpose of testing you is to see if you are a black-hearted capitalist, because you have to do all the logistics, and he wants to see if you are one of his own. And if he says that he is only after money...
..." Lin Muqing flipped up her hair and smiled, "It's just a hard-tongued man who talks a lot but doesn't mean it. He doesn't want everyone to be grateful to him and feel that everything is his credit. That's what he is, a man with a hard mouth and a soft heart."
Lin Chuan murmured: "Isn't that just such a tsundere...Pfft-!"
Without looking at his brother, who was kneeling on the ground and twitching while clutching his stomach, Lin Muqing retracted his fist and said calmly: "There are some things that you can't say even if you know they are like this."
