"Okay, that's it! That's it for today. Everyone has worked hard. Let's call it a day."
On the first day of shooting, the shooting went very smoothly. The shooting tasks for the day were completed before four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Brother Xin, this is tomorrow's announcement. Sister Wu Yue, this is yours."
In the dressing room, the director's assistant hurriedly delivered two notices.
He Xin flipped through it roughly, and the director planned out a shooting schedule from easy to difficult. Most of tomorrow's scenes will be literary dramas, which are not too difficult.
He raised his head and asked the makeup artist to wipe off the paint on his face with makeup remover. After finishing the work, he found that Wu Yue, who had already taken off her makeup and changed into her own clothes, was still sitting in the dressing room, flipping through magazines leisurely.
"Sister Wu Yue, haven't you left yet?"
"Well, it's a little early to finish work today. I just sent a message to my boyfriend and I'm waiting for him to pick me up." Wu Yue put down the magazine in her hand, stood up and pursed her lips with a smile.
"Oh, I'll leave now, see you tomorrow!" He Xin greeted politely.
"See you tomorrow." Wu Yue watched him walk out of the dressing room, then sat down and opened the magazine again.
Compared to the casual manner before the shooting started in the morning, the two of them were obviously much more polite.
It should be said that true mutual respect between actors largely depends on each other's professional abilities. Wu Yue is probably He Xin's first partner other than Zhou Xun, and he feels very comfortable working with them for the first time.
Today we filmed scenes between the two of them. Although the scenes were not very difficult, it was the first time they collaborated together. Generally speaking, there would inevitably be a process of adapting to each other, but today's scene was shot very smoothly. Basically, each other's
The performances are mutually acceptable.
The two acting stars naturally and tacitly cooperated, and invisibly established a state of sympathy and mutual respect.
As the male lead in the play, the crew had a car to transport him. He Xin directly asked the driver to take him to the gate of Tuanjie Lake Community opposite the Agricultural Exhibition Hall.
When I walked downstairs to my house, I happened to meet Uncle Li who was looking at the garage and wandering around the garage door with his hands behind his back.
"Hey, Xiao He, are you here to inspect?" Uncle Li said cheerfully when he saw him.
There is a star in the community these days, and everyone feels bright in their faces.
"Uncle Li, I haven't seen you in a while. Are you still strong?" He Xin also greeted him with a smile.
He took out two packs of cigarettes from his bag and handed them over.
Uncle Li was not polite, took the two packets of Double Happiness from his hand, and said with a smile: "There is nothing serious wrong with my old arms and legs after all."
After saying that, he took the initiative and said: "Those girls upstairs are very nice, especially the leader Xiao Hu. Even though she is small, she is very powerful. Two days ago, a man had a fight with two young men. I heard something going on.
I hurried up to help, for fear that this girl would suffer. Guess what happened?"
"What's going on?" He Xin complimented appropriately.
"In the end, Xiao Hu scolded those two idiots all by himself. He didn't even dare to fart. This girl is awesome!" the old man said, raising his thumb.
He Xin couldn't help but feel happy. He had already experienced Xiaodou Ding's strong personality, which she had gained through many years of walking into the African savannah, going deep into the tropical rainforests of South America, and traveling across the Eurasian continent, carrying a bag on her back.
"Okay, then I'll go up and take a look at Ang!"
"It's okay. I'll still take care of you here. Even if something happens, your girls here won't suffer any loss, so don't worry!" the old man said, patting his withered chest.
What the old Beijing people pay attention to is face. He Xin's attitude has always been the same before and after he became famous. In the old man's opinion, the small favors he received gave him enough face and bragging rights. He treated me more or less like a gentleman of the country. I should treat him like a gentleman.
The feeling of being repaid by a soldier of the country.
After chatting happily with the old man for a few words, He Xin went upstairs.
"Brother Xin, you're here!" A girl with heavy makeup opened the door and her eyes lit up when she saw He Xin.
This girl's name is He Lirong. She comes from a small city on the coast of southern Zhejiang. She is very close to He Xin's hometown in his previous life. Her substandard Mandarin with an obvious local accent makes He Xin sound very friendly.
He Xin nodded towards her and saw that she was wearing headphones in one ear and holding an English textbook in her hand. He smiled and said, "Xiao He, are you studying?"
"Yes, Sister Hu told me." He Lirong's expression suddenly became a little depressed.
This girl actually came from a good family, but she was very ambitious. After graduating from a second-tier college in Beijing, she was determined to carve out her own world in the capital, so she was tricked by Xiao Douding into becoming the receptionist and handyman of the studio. That's English.
My level is a little behind, and I am currently being forced to take supplements by Xiao Douding.
At this time, a fat girl wearing a pair of glasses came out of the small room and greeted He Xin in a slightly reserved manner: "Brother Xin!"
"Xiao Wang, are you busy?" He Xin also nodded to her and glanced into the room. The computer was on and there were open account books and vouchers piled on the table.
This girl's name is Wang Qin, from western Hunan. She just graduated from a financial college in Beijing this year. She previously worked as a cashier in a company. She switched jobs from her original employer because of the "high salary" offered by Xiaodouding of 2,500 yuan per month.
.
"Well, I have to file my tax return tomorrow." Wang Qin answered honestly.
"Then go and do your work. I have something to do with your sister Hu."
Pushing open the door of the room that was originally his bedroom, he saw Xiao Douding writing at his desk. When he came in, Xiao Douding didn't even raise his eyelids and said: "Boss, it's early enough to finish work today. Are you here to pick up your son?"
"
He Xin glanced around the room and asked a little strangely: "Where is Chuan Chuan?"
"It's at the pet shop downstairs. Let the shop help him take a bath and give him a grooming." Xiao Douding stopped the pen at this moment, and while sorting the documents on the table, he raised his head and said with a smile.
"It seems like this little guy is living quite comfortably at your place!"
"Of course, I go downstairs three times a day, take a bath once a week, and serve the dog with different kinds of food. Young Master, do we dare to neglect you?"
"Well……"
He Xin shook his head with a wry smile, and asked again: "I heard that you had another quarrel with someone two days ago?"
"Did you listen to what Old Man Li said downstairs?"
Xiao Douding glanced at him and said casually: "It's okay, it's just two props. They thought I was the one who took advantage of Haozi and made a blind offer to me. I scolded them a lot. I told them not to make any mistakes if they were willing to do it. If they were not willing to do it,
Just get lost."
After saying that, Xiao Douding smiled and said: "But the old man Li downstairs is quite enthusiastic. He was afraid that we girls would suffer, so when he heard the commotion, he came up with a stick to help. Afterwards, I asked Li Rong to come to the front to help.
The Feng family cut two kilograms of roast mutton for him to drink with."
He Xin nodded. Since she was responsible for the preparations for Ning Hao's new movie, he didn't bother to ask about the specific matters. He just asked: "Has the overall budget been made?"
"It's done."
Xiao Douding pulled out a thick pile of forms and handed them to him.
He Xin had a headache looking at the densely packed data in it. He turned to the end and glanced at the total, and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Why is it still 1.4 million? You didn't leave any time for later stages?"
"Leave 300,000 for post-production expenses."
"What about the film?"
"24*36mm film, Kodak with water, I made a budget of 600,000, which is enough for Haozi to make it."
As he said that, Xiao Douding said with disdain: "Haozi is just taking advantage of him. The budget he originally made had at least 20% of the water content. Now I have squeezed it dry."
"Are you too nervous? What did Bona say?"
Xiao Douding took the budget in his hand, pulled out a bunch of forms of almost the same thickness and handed them to him: "Look at this again."
He Xin flipped through and looked at the same budget, but the final total cost was more than 1.9 million, and there were still even parts.
Xiao Douding smiled strangely and said: "This is the official budget. This is our internal budget."
He Xin was shocked, this is too dark! This is equivalent to a nominal investment of 500,000 yuan, but in fact, he did not spend a penny, but made a net profit of 100,000 yuan.
After being stunned for a long time, he hesitated: "Is this appropriate? What if..."
Xiao Douding waved his hand and said with a proud look on his face: "Okay! The quotes above are all normal market prices, there is absolutely no problem. Besides, they are Poly Bona, and the big boss behind the scenes is Poly! A two-million-dollar project is not a big deal.
To others, it’s just a small project, no matter how small, but they don’t take it seriously at all.”
Then Xiao Douding said excitedly: "In addition, I also want to buy a car. I can find someone to hang it with for the time being and give it to the crew on a lease basis. After the project is completed, it will be transferred to the name of the studio..."
As the saying goes, do not trust those who employ you, and do not trust those who doubt you.
He Xin hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I don't care about any of this anyway, as long as there are no problems. With this budget, you'd better let Haozi take a look. The most important thing is to ensure the quality of the movie."
"Don't worry, I will let Li Rong stay here. Wang Qin and I will go to the set to keep an eye on it. We will complete the task with quality and quantity."
