Chapter 1972: Invitation
Seeing that these people were scolded by themselves and retreated, it stands to reason that they should be a little happy, but Li Menglong couldn't be happy at all, it was really the mood of these people who were too weird.
In an ordinary company, the leader is scolded in public, the psychological pressure of this employee will be very great, maybe it is possible to hand over the resignation letter directly after an hour, but is SW an ordinary company?
So Li Menglong doesn't dare to overestimate his influence, although the gang on the other side will give him some respect, but at most they don't bother him, how can he be happy after being scolded, this is not a bunch of fools!
There is a problem in this, but Li Menglong doesn't know where the problem is, so he can only sit here depressedly and think to himself, and at the same time, everyone who escaped there is also celebrating quietly behind Li Menglong's back, of course, he is also secretly grateful, it is also a blessing to work in this kind of company, does the general company dare to smile with the leader like this?
Whether it's to keep his job or to give back to the company, in short, after everyone saw that Li Menglong was in no trouble, he quickly entered the state of work, as for whether Li Menglong worked over there or not, it didn't matter, as things accumulated, he would naturally keep up with the rhythm.
It is said that some time ago, when Xu Xian was there, everyone was mainly doing the preliminary preparations and the final check and filling in the gaps with Xu Xian's project, although there were not many things in the last few days, but they were not at ease at the last moment, after all, they really regarded Xu Xian as their own sister, and they always tried to be as perfect as possible.
However, as Xu Xian's side was ready to start work, the company was idle, after all, there were very few people in this group who needed to go to the site to help, not that they didn't have that ability, after all, their team was also well-known in the industry.
They have been cooperating since the first two days and one night variety shows, and after following Director Luo to SW, they gradually expanded their business, from TV series to movies, and they have not let go of variety shows with housekeeping skills.
Of course, the credit of Director Luo and Li Menglong is indispensable, but Li Enxi's vision also plays a vital role, no matter in which industry talent is crucial, in addition to the talent of directors like Li Menglong, the rest of the behind-the-scenes work cannot be left behind, so there is this group of people who continue to learn and participate!
Of course, at the beginning, they were all the kind of people who started to fight, Li Menglong and Director Luo also found a lot of gods in the industry to take them, but in the end, they were easy to use, and after honing a few works, these people gradually began to take the lead.
The last two TV series are all started by them, and independent movies have not been tried, but they are very confident in themselves, as for the opportunity is not right in front of them, Li Menglong's movie is their first step independently!
So seriously, these people are the behind-the-scenes creative team of Li Menglong's films, from photography, editing, soundtrack to scene, actor deployment and other work, this group of people is almost all covered, basically pulling these people out is a crew.
Helping Xu Xian a few days ago is really a lot of these people, they work overtime on weekdays when they have nothing to do, and it is not Li Menglong who deliberately tosses these people, saying that he himself is also working overtime, and he has no masochistic tendencies, and he doesn't really have work to do.
That period of time is equivalent to the entire film team putting down the things at hand during the day and helping Xu Xian straighten out the affairs of the TV series, otherwise how could Xu Xian, a rookie, be so well prepared in advance, this is the whole film team behind to help check and fill in the gaps.
One of the results of this is that Li Menglong is looking forward to the specific presentation of Xu Xian's three episodes of the TV series, not to mention what the final shooting will be, the level of preparation behind this alone is really not inferior to the movie, and it is not impossible to say that it is three movies.
And the consequence of this is naturally the explosion of workload during the day, if it is just like this, everyone should help Xu Xian, but you must know that Li Menglong's movie has also been established, not the kind discussed internally, but completely decided by the entire company.
This kind of plan does not say that the time card of each step is particularly dead, but the room between each other is not particularly large, otherwise this filming link will drag on for half a month, and the editing will drag on for another month, will it be delayed for a year when it is finally released?
That is, it is equivalent to the preparation of the movie in their hands can not be stopped, so there is a situation where they work overtime from time to time every day, during that time their physical exhaustion on the one hand, on the other hand, the main brain, this day has to be changed many times, headache is very much!
Fortunately, it can be regarded as bitter and sweet, although Xu Xian's departure will make the office lack a beautiful scenery, but at the same time, it will greatly reduce their workload, at least they can concentrate on one thing.
So a lot of preliminary preparations began to gather here to Li Menglong, and the miscellaneous things were quite messy, from the selection of cameras and rental fees to the scale and level of passers-by actors, in short, basically all the big and small things were sent.
Of course, everyone didn't come to trouble Li Menglong, all the questions were usually sent with relevant suggestions, if Li Menglong had no questions, he would pass directly, otherwise he would call back, and then the other party would come over to communicate with Li Menglong.
This kind of all-encompassing state is what Xu Xian has always envied, but just like many idols who have just debuted envy their girlhood, there are many things that are really unenviable, not only the relationship of hard work, but also talent, timing, and so on.
Li Menglong really did all the handymen that could be done on the set, and he didn't dare to say that he was proficient in every trade, but at least it was not a problem to say one or two, coupled with the tacit cooperation of the entire team, it also caused Li Menglong's current state.
It's hard to say whether this is a good habit or not, but there is no standard for this kind of thing, anyway, the movie made is good-looking, which is also Xu Xian's excuse to comfort herself, she can't tell whether the people below are fooling her many times, but fortunately, these people have been specially asked by Li Menglong, and it seems that it looks okay.
Li Menglong's side is very obvious that the work has been accelerated, with him as the center, there are almost no idle people in the office, and when they come to discuss with him, they are all trotting with the wind all the way, just like a precision machine, although accompanied by some rusty sounds, but running smoothly.
The proprietress didn't know when she came up to take a look, but she didn't come over to disturb Li Menglong at all, the joke was just a joke, but after going down, someone brought a lot of coffee, and as for lunch, it was also arranged in advance, so there was no need for Li Menglong upstairs to say it, after all, if no one reminded them of this meaning, these people might not remember to have lunch.
Li Menglong himself is not sure how many decisions he has made this day, it seems that he was still guarding against the proprietress one moment ago, and the next moment everyone was already eating the fried chicken sent by the proprietress on the seat, Li Menglong mechanically bit the chicken leg, and always felt that it didn't seem to be the first time to eat this.
After looking at the time, it turned out that it was already dinner, so needless to say, most of the lunch was this thing, but fortunately, the meal fee of the entire department was directly connected by the proprietress to Li Enxi, and there was no need for Li Menglong to worry about paying.
After thinking about today's work efficiency slightly, Li Menglong was still very satisfied, and glanced at the people around him who seemed to be very depressed, and Li Menglong only then remembered that these people should still be in a state of hangover yesterday, no wonder their physical strength was so poor.
"It's been hard today, go back and rest early, don't always say that I exploit you!" Li Menglong said with a view to himself, but it seemed that everyone didn't appreciate it very much.
"Please, boss, it's past seven o'clock now, you don't think that the normal time of our company is seven o'clock, do you?"
"Didn't you pay overtime for overtime? I also earned a free dinner money, where can I find such a good thing? Be content!" Li Menglong was chatting with everyone here, after all, after deciding to get off work, Li Menglong's whole person also relaxed, and everyone basically finished eating fried chicken and dispersed.
But before that, someone reminded Li Menglong of his to-do list, Li Menglong opened the latest email with a chicken leg in his mouth, it turned out to be a matter of movie actors, although it was determined that the girls were the main actors, but it was impossible for the seven of them to be the main actors in a play.
Let's not talk about some corner actors, the kind of actors who are basically easy to find directly, and those who need to be old and with acting skills can directly find old actors, although they are a little expensive, their acting skills and professional ethics are very guaranteed.
And some simple but faceless roles directly contact the rookie actors of major companies, not to mention personal feelings, those actors are quite motivated, and there is a lot of time for casual crew arrangements, the key is that the salary is not high, and the cost performance is very high.
But in addition to these, some big supporting roles are needed, and this kind of role needs to be considered to be suitable for the actors, and even some factors outside the film, such as popularity, box office appeal, etc., in short, the casting of a movie is not as simple as it seems.
As for the so-called open casting, Li Menglong can only say that it is a gimmick, and there are almost no such so-called "fair" competition opportunities, well-known directors are generally willing to use acquaintances, especially the actors who are popular with their hands are often cooperated; although there are not many actors known by new directors, they are often controlled by the capital behind them, and there is not much room for choice in actors.
Li Menglong naturally won't be unconventional, why do you need to get to know unfamiliar actors when you let your acquaintances go? It will be quite troublesome to train, so after thinking about the role a little, he dialed the phone directly: "Hey, Nuna?"
"Can you call my wife so insensitive? You can call her sister-in-law, is it okay?" A shrill voice came from the other end of the phone, and the woman's voice could be faintly heard, as if asking who was on the other side of the phone.
Li Menglong is naturally no stranger to this person, and he will not be polite: "Is this your phone? You can answer other people's phone calls? Is there any basic respect? Be careful that I find a feminist organization to complain about you!"
"My own wife's phone!" Kim Jong Kook was so hard that he saw that the person on the phone was Li Menglong, and he didn't bother to answer it if he changed someone: "She's in the bathroom, what's the matter with you?
Li Menglong almost didn't get his throat blocked by chicken, why did he not see each other for a while? I don't know if his muscles have relaxed, but considering Kim Jong Kook's perverted self-discipline, Li Menglong still decided to endure this breath.
I originally wanted to ask on the phone first, but Kim Jong Kook said that he was not sincere, and finally knocked on Li Menglong's meal, and looked at the time and basically set off now, Li Menglong felt that he had to think about the meal money in advance, after all, Kim Jong Kook was also a well-known big stomach.
It's just that as soon as I put down the phone, I found that everyone's eyes around me flickered slightly, and the whole office was mixed with a strange atmosphere, but Li Menglong didn't have too much vigilance, and his brain couldn't react after working for a whole day: "Call Yin Enhui, ask your family first, and have a meal with them later, you should be able to talk, right?"
Li Menglong explained here and said to himself that he was already thinking about the other party's refusal, so let's not say that the money for this meal must be paid by Kim Jong Kook, who made him the eldest brother, and the other party should pay it when Li Menglong is not the director.
It's just that Li Menglong thought that after explaining, he found that there was no impact on the surroundings, which was not normal, first looked himself up and down, and then looked around, and the conspicuous Barbie color instantly stood out, which can be seen as long as you are not blind.
The corners of Li Menglong's mouth twitched out uncontrollably, the phone was in his pocket all day, even if his thighs were a little uncomfortable, but Li Menglong still endured it, but he didn't expect it to be exposed when he saw that he could spend the day, and it was the most dangerous when he was relaxed.
It's useless to feel sorry for yourself, after all, it can't be regarded as something that hasn't happened, so the excuse you need now, fortunately, Li Menglong has already thought about more than one in the morning, and it's not troublesome to throw it out now: "Ahem, those girls have to change their phones with me early in the morning, saying what is the trend, it's very annoying!"
Li Menglong said so, everyone naturally believed it, at least in terms of action, as for the expression, it was really uncontrollable, not everyone had the good acting skills of the girls, so they could only hold back a smile and send Li Menglong off work, without waiting for him to walk to the first floor, the entire second floor exploded directly, the laughter sounded quite harsh to Li Menglong, but there was nothing he could do......
