Geng Hao is of course Geng Hao, a young man with a sense of joy, he is the on-site producer of "Green Meadow".

The crew is not large, with more than 30 behind-the-scenes plus seven or eight actors, a total of five tables are set up, and the small restaurant is crowded.

Most of the crew members are old faces, and they all worked together when they were filming "Incense". There are also some new faces, such as Geng Hao, who and Ning Hao have known each other for a long time, and they all belonged to the circle of shooting commercials and MVs.

There is also the fact that this time Ning Hao finally doesn't have to be a photographer anymore, the photographer Du Jie is his senior brother, and the four photography assistants are all his classmates in Nortel's photography department.

Among their group, Ning Hao, who had just passed his twenty-seventh birthday, was the oldest, and even his senior brother Du Jie was three months younger than him.

"Brother Qiang, oh no, Brother Xin, I toast you!"

Because the filming funds are relatively tight by Xiaodouding, it is rare for everyone to have a meal together, and more often they pay out of their own pockets to fight tooth sacrifices or something, so the atmosphere on the wine table at night is very lively.

Drinking is Xilin beer, which is called a big green stick by the locals, He Xin has never heard of this, but the taste is very positive, especially the malt flavor is quite strong, and the wine is a little strong.

He usually drinks Yanjing, at most three bottles, but today he only drank less than two bottles, and he was a little confused. However, Geng Hao was even more unbearable than him, and when he stood up to toast at this time, he already had a big tongue.

This guy is still very sincere, and he was coaxed by Ning Hao and a few of them together, so he staggered to stand up and toast. He Xin seriously suspects that the image of Geng Hao played by Brother Bo on the screen in later generations is based on this template.

The only hotel in the town was also rounded by the crew, with two rooms, three rooms, four rooms, and a Chase shop, all of which were full, He Lirong and Xiaodouding and Wang Qin squeezed into a room, and their sisters must have endless whispers after being separated for a long time, and there is a big box of snacks waiting for them to share.

Ning Hao, as the director, occupies a two-person room alone, and He Xin happens to be in the same room with him.

At this moment, he was a little dizzy, lying on the bed under the quilt with his eyes closed, but humming "The First Snow of 2002" by the most popular knife mantis.

Ning Hao entered the door and saw the virtue of this goods, and couldn't help pouting: "I said that you usually like to drink two glasses, why don't you grow at all!"

"How do I know, maybe it's genetics, my dad can't drink it, I remember when I was a child, every time I had a dinner in the factory, nine times out of ten, someone would bring it back. But then again, the amount of alcohol has increased a little in the past two years, and Yanjing used to drink two bottles in place, but now three bottles should be no problem. ”

"Cut, what are you bragging, I see you haven't looked like this after drinking two bottles today!" Ning Hao said disdainfully.

"Today's Xilin beer is much more fierce than Yanjing, and it is already good to drink two bottles. ”

However, he didn't bother to talk to Ning Hao about the amount of alcohol, opened his eyes, rubbed his body upwards and said, "At most, there is still half a month, can your film be completed as planned?"

"No problem!"

Ning Hao blurted out, and then said depressedly: "Don't you know, Gu Yuewan helped me arrange the schedule, and it will be scheduled until the end of this month, if the shooting can't be finished, she won't allocate money there, and it's too late." ”

"Xiao Hu is responsible for the work, and you also proposed it yourself when the finale was completed at the end of June, who is to blame?" He Xin couldn't help but gloat at this time.

Xiao Douding is now one of the producers of the crew, and there is a vice president in charge of production on Bona's side, but they are just a name, after all, this project of more than one million yuan is a small project for Bona, who is now wealthy, and there is no need to send a person to guard such a difficult place.

So now Xiaodouding can be said to be in power, a bit like the role of Chen Hong in the crew of "Wuji", all the expenses of the crew must get her nod.

In fact, all of this was fought for by Xiao Douding herself, and the original intention of letting her be the producer was to let her give Ning Hao a hand and take charge of the logistics.

However, Xiaodouding has always been very strong, since she was asked to be a producer, it is estimated that she felt that she should take on the responsibility of the producer, so the crew became the current situation.

And the reason why Ning Hao is depressed is because he can't compete with Xiao Douding, often when the two have disagreements on spending money, he can say one, two, three, four, Xiao Douding can not only refute him one by one, but even say five, six, seven, eighty or nine reasons to prove that he is wrong.

Then Ning Hao could only stare dryly, and in the end, it was definitely Xiao Douding who won.

Generally speaking, the crews in China are director-centric, the director is the boss, and everything is up to him. And now that Xiaodouding and Ning Hao get along, He Xin thinks it's very good.

Directors are often emotional, delicate, romantic, and even capricious, otherwise they will definitely not make good movies.

And it is precisely because there is such a thing in the director's personality that it is easy to get out of the circle when filming. The most obvious example is Jiang Wen, when "The Devil is Coming" had a budget of only more than 10 million, but at the end of the filming, he tossed it to more than triple it, and finally it was banned, and the investors wanted to cry without tears.

Although Ning Hao is very good at careful calculation, the premise is that he has no money at all, if he has 1.5 million yuan in his account like now, he will be out of the circle if he can't keep it.

Therefore, having Xiao Douding supervising by the side is like putting the reins on him and not giving him out of the circle. Of course, this premise is that Xiaodouding did not deliberately want to go against Ning Hao, on the contrary, the truth she said was often polite and courteous, which would neither affect the normal shooting work, nor give Ning Hao a chance to get out of the circle.

Otherwise, how could she have suppressed a bunch of big men in the crew with her small physique?

Ning Hao shook his head, and simply changed the topic and said, "Oh, by the way, how many days can you stay here this time?"

He Xin groaned: "At most, I will definitely have to go back the day after tomorrow, and I have to go to Hong Kong for an audition on the 17th." ”

"Auditions?"

Ning Hao was also stunned, and then asked, "What's the matter, there are big Hong Kong directors looking for you to film?"

"It's just an audition, and I don't know if I can pass it. Saying that, he still looked a little proud: "It's "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain" directed by Xu Ke. ”

Although he was reluctant at first, it was Xu Ke after all, and the long-popular martial arts of "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain" is a big IP in the words of later generations!

A big director + big IP is very suitable for bragging and bragging.

Sure enough, Ning Hao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What role are you looking for to play, Ling Weifeng, Han Zhibang or Gui Zhongming?"

He Xin shook his head and said with a hint of self-deprecation: "I don't know yet, but the protagonist will definitely not fall on my head, and if I am asked to play Duoduo, I will definitely not do it." ”

"You are stupid, this is the work of director Xu Ke, it will definitely be popular!"

“......”

Xu Ke's "The Legend of Shushan" that hit the street before, can you say that this is a bad movie? Can you say that the actors in it are not popular?

First of all, "The Legend of Shushan" is definitely not a bad movie, but it is just not a blockbuster. I think that Zhou Xingchi filmed "Journey to the West" back then, just because it was not a blockbuster, and even the company went bankrupt, is "Journey to the West" also a bad movie?

And as Sister Hong told him before, if an actor can join a blockbuster, even if the box office hits, it at least means that you have reached that place in the circle.

is like "The Legend of Shushan", although it hit the street very badly, as long as Xu Ke is mentioned, no one can deny that he is a great director.

And actors are often very passive in many cases, and no one knows whether the play will be popular in the end, hit the street, or be dull when they take over the play, unless the script is bad or the director's level is not enough.

But like the previous "Legend of Shu Mountain", it is also a big IP, can you say that Director Xu Ke has a bad level? The same is true for "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain".

The reason why He Xin has an advantage is because he has more memories in his mind than others for the next ten years. But then again, just like the person in his previous life who only knew how to watch pirated movies and never went into the theater to buy tickets to watch movies, could he tell what a bad movie was? At most, he didn't have a deep memory, which meant that the film was mediocre.

Of course, in later generations, as information becomes more and more developed, good movies and bad movies are clear at a glance. Like "Legend of the Gods", "Dream Showbiz", "Liuhai Fortress" and the like, then you don't need to ask if it must be a bad movie.

There are also some entertainment on the Internet in later generations, for some movies that are not good at the domestic box office, so they will be blacked, saying that there are big bad movies and so on.

For example, Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" is probably one of the most hacked movies in entertainment, with a total investment of 600 million, and the combined domestic box office of the upper and lower episodes is only 580 million. So I took it for granted that this was a huge loss, and then picked up the details inside and began to blacken.

But don't get me wrong, except for the domestic box office or the overseas box office. Chibi's box office in Japan is as high as 10.6 billion yen, equivalent to nearly 100 million US dollars, and the total global box office is 250 million US dollars.

Lost or earned?

It's definitely earned.

Otherwise, he would not have had the opportunity to direct the "Taiping Wheel" series with a larger investment later.

Of course, "Taiping Wheel" must have lost, so Director Wu did not go back.

For the movie "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain", because the memory is relatively indifferent, He Xin estimates that the reaction to the release of this film will be average, but at least it will not be as powerful as "The Legend of Shushan".

At present, he only agreed to audition, whether he can act or not depends on two conditions, one is of course Director Xu Ke is not satisfied with him, if he is not satisfied, everything is not to be discussed, on the other hand, if Xu Ke is very satisfied with him, it depends on whether the other party is sincere in terms of salary.

That's right, he's just going for the money.

Being an actor is his profession, and he also wants to make money, okay?

And "Seven Swords" is not a big bad movie like "Dream Showbiz" or "Staying in the Sea Fortress", the risk is relatively small, and the impact on his career does not seem to be great.

It's like Zhang Baiju, Zhang Ziyi, Gu Tianle, Zheng Yijian and other big names in "The Legend of Shushan", but they are still more popular than the other.

Besides, what if it's a bad movie?

Think about the big names in Hong Kong now, like Fa Ge, Leung Chaowei, Leung Jiahui, and even Andy Lau, they have all acted in a lot of bad movies, especially Leung Chaowei actually acted in "The Ferryman" and "Monster Hunt 2" in later generations, which are recognized as bad movies, but the audience scolded and scolded, but did not question his acting skills. Because it's just a bad movie, and Liang Chaowei's acting skills are still at the level of an actor. 、

There is also Uncle Ge's "Fragments" and "Two Tigers", which are all bad movies, but Uncle Ge is still your uncle, so everyone can only scold the director, screenwriter and Xiao Shen Yang, Xiao Yueyue, and Big Health care.

So if Director Xu Ke has no opinion on himself at that time, and the money is in place, as long as there is nothing wrong with the script, it doesn't matter if he shoots it with a mediocre response or a bad movie, He Xin plans to take it.

He believes that as long as he acts well and shows the professional attitude that an actor should have, no one should blame himself for thinking that the movie is bad, and maybe he will praise: "Only He Xin is the only bright spot in this bad movie!"

In a sense, this is also a success.

"What do you mean when you asked me how many days I could take with me?"

Ning Hao smiled weirdly and said, "The day after tomorrow, I want you to help me play a cameo role in the play." ”

"What role, can't you shoot it tomorrow?"

The movie invested by his studio, it is obligatory to make a cameo, he just feels that the day after tomorrow is too tight, because he has to leave early the day after tomorrow.

"A cameo appearance as a police officer from a police station here. Tomorrow you have to learn how to pronounce Mongolian in your lines first, so you have to do it the day after tomorrow. ”
