We found a small restaurant downstairs and a few people had a simple lunch. When Chen He came out, sweat was pouring from his forehead.
Qin Xiaobao looked at it: "How much do you weigh now?"
"More than a hundred!" Chen He felt a little guilty. If he had known, he would have eaten one less bowl or two bowls when he was cooking.
"One hundred and eighty?"
"One hundred and eighty-six!"
"Lose weight!" Qin Xiaobao said directly: "Too fat and inconsistent with the role."
"Okay, how much is appropriate?" Chen He didn't hesitate when he heard this.
"First lose twenty pounds and let me see the results. You are so blessed now."
Chen He also read the script and understood what it meant: "Okay, luckily it will last for a while, otherwise I will have to endure hardship."
Everyone got in the car together, and Qin Xiaobao sat in the back with him: "You must have gained experience in losing weight."
"Who says it's not the case? I'm tall and it's easy to put on weight. In addition, when I get married in middle age, my weight is out of control." Chen He sighed. When he was young, his appearance was still online.
I have never thought about losing weight: "It's fine for filming variety shows. It would be better if I were fatter, but it wouldn't be good for filming."
Xiaoming, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror: "Brother He, how do you lose weight? Please teach me some experience. If Director Qin needs it in ten years, I can put it to good use."
Qin Xiaobao smiled after hearing this. This young man can show his loyalty. He will work for ten years.
"All diet pills are fake and have serious side effects," Chen He said without reservation: "The simplest words are six words: shut up and open your legs. Carbohydrates such as rice and noodles are definitely not allowed to be eaten, including fruits and vegetables.
, and then exercise like crazy.
My ultimate limit was that I lost 18 pounds in ten days and my whole body became dry. It was so uncomfortable!"
"Why don't you pay attention to it? If you are more moderate, it will be easier to lose weight later." Qin Xiaobao said.
"It's so uncomfortable for a person to have no freedom to eat in his life." Chen He pointed to the restaurant on the roadside outside: "No one eats, so the restaurant must close down."
"That's ridiculous," Qin Xiaobao laughed and scolded: "You are the one who lost weight anyway."
"Hey, I was just like you when I was in my early twenties. I didn't gain weight no matter how much I ate, but there's nothing I can do about it now." Chen He held his forehead, feeling sad that he was acting there.
After chatting for half an hour, we arrived at our destination, a warehouse by the Huangpu River.
The fat director greeted him at the door with a smile: "Director Qin."
"Thank you for your hard work." Qin Xiaobao shook hands with him.
"It's a small thing, not to mention hard work." After the fat director and Chen He said hello, they started to introduce: "This warehouse is more than 600 square meters and 12 meters high. It has been cleaned up inside, but the smell is not very good.
, but as long as it’s ventilated for a few days, it should be fine.”
Qin Xiaobao nodded and looked around. It was a normal iron warehouse with several large windows on the left and right sides.
"How's the soundproofing?"
"It was specially chosen so that you can hardly hear any outside sounds." The fat director was of course very knowledgeable about these issues: "Normally, the equipment does not need to be packed specially, as long as it is left with someone to guard it every day.
Moreover, once the doors and windows are closed, it will be as dark as at night, so you can film during the day, rest at night, and have a normal schedule."
"Well... are the coffins being made?" Qin Xiaobao walked to the side and knocked on the wall, and heard a dull echo.
"It's currently being produced, and it will probably take a few days, because the requirements are to be able to move, and to be perfectly seamless without any flaws. The craftsmanship requirements are a bit high. When the master heard about it, what did he think he was going to do?" said the fat director.
Smiled.
"That's good. I can rest assured that you can do the work. What about turning off the lights? I'll see the effect."
"Xiao Huang," the fat director shouted to the staff not far away: "Pull the switch."
Snap!
At two o'clock at noon, it was pitch black inside, with only the top of the head being bright.
"Can you only turn on half the lights?" Qin Xiaobao shouted.
"able!"
Snap!
After some experiments, Qin Xiaobao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, this is it. It's pretty good. I'm almost done with it and I'm ready to start it up. The other staff have been found."
"I've been preparing for it for a long time," the fat director smiled: "I'm all ready to do this job. I haven't done anything else. At most, I'm going to help other groups, pick up shifts, etc. It won't delay anything."
"Okay, I can rest assured that you can do the work."
Chen He looked around and said, "I said, you can save money by shooting your movie here."
Seeing the fat director looking at him, he immediately said: "I'm just here to join in the fun, there's nothing wrong with me."
The fat director smiled: "It really saves money. If you rent this warehouse directly for a month, it only costs about 3,000 yuan."
"Let's talk outside," the smell inside was really strong, Qin Xiaobao led everyone out, and the sun shone, which was a bit dazzling.
"I came here today not just to look at the warehouse," he looked at the fat director: "Brother He had a meeting with us all morning."
"No...are we going to change roles?" The fat director looked at the expressions of the two of them.
"Where are you thinking," Qin Xiaobao said with a smile: "Let me ask first, what are your next plans after you finish filming this movie?"
"Plan?" The fat director was stunned for a moment: "Just wait and see if there are any other scenes."
"Won't you take the initiative to find a job?"
A staff member nearby brought a few small horseshoes. Qin Xiaobao nodded his thanks and sat down. Others did not dislike it and formed a small circle around them.
The fat director greeted people to buy water: "I have been working in this industry for so many years. Although I have not made a name for myself, I still know some people, including me, such as the masters of lighting, photography, and props.
, all have their own channels. When someone is ready to film, if there is any department that is missing, they will make a phone call and let them know.
It's the same here. If we are too busy, we will transfer the work to others. You haven't seen any movies or TV series that are ready to be shot and then send out recruitment notices."
When Qin Xiaobao thought about it, it was really like this.
"Making a movie is all about experience. As a group of us, we really don't have to worry about not having enough to eat. Even if we take a break for three to two months, it doesn't matter."
"Oh, then I asked the right question." Qin Xiaobao glanced at Chen He: "I came to you this time for something else."
"What's the matter?" The fat director stood up and handed out drinks.
"reserve!"
"What?" The fat director paused.
"After filming "Buried Alive", no, during this period, you have to get busy. I also have a script here that I am already writing. It is expected to start filming around September."
"Wow!!!" The fat director's face was full of smiles: "That's great, Director Qin, we are preparing for a big fight. I have no problem here. I will coordinate with the others. In terms of personnel..."
"A movie with an investment of 50 million."
"I understand, then there are definitely not enough manpower now. I have to read the script first."
"Don't worry, you should do the things in front of you first," Qin Xiaobao pressed his hands: "I will sort out the specific requirements later, and then we will discuss them in detail. I just want to tell you that there is such a thing."
