"Knock knock!"

"Come in!"

The financial director looked up and saw two people coming in, one was the head of the props team and the other was a service company.

"There are not enough lights, so I need to buy twenty. ”

"What lamp?"

"The chandelier of the newspaper office is completely broken in one scene, and I have to buy a new one. ”

The head of the props team handed over the application, and the finance glanced at it and signed.

The service company also handed over a stack of invoices and said, "Reimbursement of oil money." ”

"Let it go. ”

The two left.

The finance compiled a brief breakdown, got up and ran to another room: "Mr. Xu, this is the past two days." ”

"Well, hard work. ”

"Nothing else, I'm out. ”

Finance went out with a subtle expression, and Han Sanping also visited the class before, but he didn't care. Huang Jianxin has been in the crew, and he doesn't care, he only pays attention to the artistic level.

What is your identity?

Appointed Director of the World.

............

Unknowingly, Mr. Xu has been in Xiangshan for several days.

There is no sense of existence, every day is like walking the bend uncle, look at this and look at that. The longest stay is still "October Siege", which does not express opinions and quietly watches guests.

This night, the shooting was carried out.

It's already eleven o'clock, the lights in the studio are bright, and it's all a big night today, and the big night subsidy is high.

Wang Xueqi plays a businessman who secretly supports Chen Shaobai. His son was admitted to Yale University, and he held a wine celebration and opened a warehouse to release grain.

The late Qing Dynasty is very special, old and advanced, Chinese and Western, braided and jacket and top hat, can appear together without disobedience.

The scenery of the hall on the first floor is like this, with tables, chairs, porcelain, and ornaments showing Chinese luxury everywhere, and Western lamps hanging overhead.

The director arranged a scene, the host prepared upstairs, and the guests gathered downstairs. What should I do if the banquet doesn't start?

“A！”

The camera is behind Wang Xueqi and follows him downstairs.

Sweeping across the hall, nearly 100 group performances, more than a dozen tables rattle. From time to time, people entered the door, wearing long shirts and suits, and they all bowed their hands: "Cousin Yu, congratulations!"

Ay!

Chen Desen is a very emotional person, and his heart is rippling.

This guy is no stranger, in "Gandhi's Tragic Life", Ni Kun died, and five bigwigs ate hot pot, Han Chen, Guohua, Gandhi, Wen Zheng, and.

"Five Gangs of Tsim Sha Tsui...... I'm the youngest here, so I can't pay it. ”

This is Anderson Chen.

He took the script everywhere to solicit investment, but he didn't expect it to be actually filmed, and it was still a blockbuster. Look at the set, the props, the lights...... Although Hong Kong directors eat fast food, who doesn't want to make exquisite blockbusters?

"Click!

"Refresh, finish work early and rest early!"

Chen Desen breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair a little comfortably.

It's cool to film in the mainland!

Don't mention professionalism, just talk about hardware, how many costumes, how many props are broken, and you don't have to think about it at all.

It's like the scene of the flower pot a few days ago, it's actually okay, but he thinks, since the resources are so sufficient, why not make it bigger?

So there were dominoes in the back, and there were several shots.

I don't dare to think in Hong Kong, the so-called scene scenes can basically only be filmed once or twice, because there are no conditions.

"Today's last one, right?"

Suddenly, a man came over and sat next to him.

"That's right. Isn't Mr. Xu at the hotel?"

"I can't sleep, come out and go around. ”

Xu Fei held the portable thermos cup and said, "How does Director Chen feel at work?"

"Unbelievable!"

Chan Tak Sen said: "Most people in Hong Kong seek speed and economy, and only a few can have large investment, or literary films are exquisite.

It's really great here, I didn't expect "October Siege" to have such a big ......"

He organized the language and said, "With such a lot of resources and trust, oh, the two producers also helped a lot." ”

"But the new director is an old partner, and I naturally trust him. Xu Fei said with a smile.

"Does Mr. Xu have any plans for a new film?" Chen Kexin took the opportunity to ask.

"Yes, as long as it's appropriate, of course I want to work together again. ”

At the end of the scene over there, Chen Desen shouted: "Hard work, call it a day today, and have a good rest." ”

It was past midnight, and everyone was exhausted.

Just as he was about to pack his things, he was stopped by a sharp and shrill voice. Chen Desen was stunned for a moment, and saw that Xu Fei had just opened a microphone from nowhere.

"Quiet. ”

"Delay everyone for a while and say something. ”

“......”

Everyone was puzzled, and the mainland side obediently stopped, and even sat on the ground. The Hong Kong side doesn't know, it seems to be an investor, what are you going to do?

The headlights of the studio were blazing, the air was toiling through the dense crowd, and the flying insects that slipped in were buzzing and coiling.

"As we all know, the crew has a lot of oil and water. ”

Ooh!

The first sentence Xu Fei opened his mouth made everyone feel good.

"Production, finance, props, costumes, drivers, field affairs, food, tea, accommodation, oil, logistics, from top to bottom, inside and out, almost every link has a way to make money. ”

"Mr. Xu, you have to believe me! I haven't been greedy for a penny!"

As soon as he got up, the life producer was scared to death, and the fart jumped out.

"Get out of the way, I didn't say anything about you. ”

"Eh!"

The goods jumped back in a hurry, wiping the sweat, it wasn't me.

"In recent years, more and more people have invested in film and television, and I mean TV series. Many bosses complained to me that it was too dark!

For a drama with an investment of 16 million yuan, the total amount of money that has been embezzled can reach 6 million.

So how to be greedy?

The most common is to eat rebates. A crew eats, drinks and lazar, and it is all done by the life producer, so the unit that contracts these jobs will naturally give kickbacks.

A little more ruthless deductive treatment.

A boxed lunch is standard 10 yuan, and he ordered 5 yuan. A standard room costs 200, he books 100, adds a bed, and sleeps three or four in a room.

Of course, they watch people put dishes on the plate, big-name stars don't dare, and small actors are casual.

I have heard of one of the best people, he has two books, one real account for himself, and one fake account for the investor.

The real account is more than 90,000 yuan, and the fake account is 5 million, a difference of more than 50 times. After the filming of that scene, the producer bought an Audi. ”

“......”

The audience was silent, both wanting to hear and being afraid.

"I think in the 80s, the film and television industry started again, and I went through that period, and I was there.

What would that look like? With a subsidy of 5 cents a day, Pan Hong and Liu Xiaoqing also had to queue up to eat. No one thinks about self-interest, just to shoot the scene well.

When did it change? In the 90s, the business tide was impetuous, there was more money, and there was more thinking.

Nowadays there is more money and more impetuousness, where do those who make money have the guts?

The first is to bully the management as outsiders, avoid them in the name of creation, and regard the crew as a forbidden circle, with many factions.

The second is the collusion between the top and bottom, and even the acquiescence of the director and the chief producer, which is divided into unified parts. Even the buddies who chose the location dared to triple the rental fee.

A straw hat costs 5,000 yuan, a pair of babacn shoes costs 10,000 yuan, and a group performance dress costs tens of thousands of yuan......

The management said that it was not necessary, and they said that you don't understand art. The management said that it was expensive, and they said that the money was not saved, but earned.

This rhetoric has repelled a lot of people.

I am an investor and an insider, and my friends have given me face, and I have not been deceived by them.

The film has been filmed for more than half a month, with three meals a day and supper, and the hotel is responsible for it. The braised pork, roasted kidney beans, and egg soup I ate tonight were 10 pieces each, a total of 230 servings.

Three kinds of dishes, 10 yuan package, the recipe is announced, this is called the standard.

You don't eat these three things, talk to the producer, talk to the finance, talk to the hotel, talk to the film and television city, and even tell me, I welcome.

Costumes and props, provided by the service company. How many flower pots are needed for a play, usually one set is provided, and two sets are backed up so as not to be overused.

If it is lacking, communicate with the factory below and rush to make it overnight. The cost price, the wholesale price, is all on paper.

It's called a standard!"

“......”

It seemed to be very scattered, Chen Kexin wondered at first, and only felt a chill in his back when he listened.

There is a movie called "Martial Arts", and Takeshi Kaneshiro wears a straw hat in the play. The costume designer is Wu Lilu, a native of Hong Kong, in order to find a straw hat with "wide brim and good light transmission", he searched for antique hats all over the world.

"In the last batch, I ordered more than 30 in the United States, and each one cost 4 or 5,000 yuan. And the one that Takeshi Kaneshiro wears, there is only one in the world, and he carries it in a safe. ”

Of course, these people are not operating now, because of the system formulated by Mr. Xu, and the costume design of "October Siege" is from the mainland.

But he still had a chill in his back.

He understood why the other person was saying this.

"You take the script and ask me to invest, I will let you direct, let you supervise, and find you to join the group, this is called work. If you don't do well, there are a lot of people who want to do it.

The brothers on the mainland used to be poor, and the brothers in Hong Kong used to be broad, and they all understood.

Director Chen smashed eighty flower pots in a scene, and that was for the show, OK.

You cleaned up and finished up, and smashed dozens of them, who will explain?

The newspaper office lights are changed in two days, and it is clear that a little attention can be avoided from damage, who will explain?

Come here, eat, drink, and ask yourself if you are not bad, but this is not a reason for you to waste it wantonly, is it not painful for the cub to sell Yetian?"

"Xu, Mr. Xu......"

Chen Desen hesitated to speak, but Xu Fei waved his hand: "Don't talk to me about art, I definitely know better than you." Don't tell me about making money, I'm sure I'll make more money than you.

It's still the same sentence, everyone in the circle has it, the bad oil hurts others and is not beneficial to yourself, your friends give face, and you don't deceive me.

You don't dare, you can't, or you haven't had time, I don't care, I want rules.

If you waste money, you just don't have rules!"

......

The actors were terrified.

Fishing for oil and water in the crew, everywhere. Hong Kong also has it, but the management is usually a celebrity and a shady club, and they dare not go too far.

But if there is a condition, someone will definitely do it.

This has nothing to do with the region, human nature, it's just that some guys eat ugly and slaughter the management like pigs.

Teacher Xu now clearly states that in my group, it is not okay to make money, and it is even more impossible to waste money.

The headlights of the studio were getting hotter and hotter, and the air seemed to be crowded by the dense crowd, and many people were already sweating. Flying insects buzzed around the lamp, making small, clear crashing sounds.

Xu Fei took a sip of water.

Papapai named a few names, and there were people on both sides. This kind of mentality is like some people treat public property: it's not mine anyway!

As the film and television industry prospers, there will be more such goods.

called out five in a row, props, martial arts, field affairs, and an assistant director.

"Take them to settle the settlement, and leave tomorrow. ”

There was a commotion at the bottom, really?!

The five of them were even more unconvinced, and shouted one by one: "I want to see Han Dong, you have no right to fire me!"

"I want to see Wu Dong!"

"I'm here to save your face!"

"The ......"

Xu Fei pointed to the one who shouted the most, "Let Sunshine lead people, violate the contract, and pursue compensation!"

What kind of contract?Deliberately damage the props and increase the cost.

Gee!

Huang Jianxin admired it very much, he knew that he was only good at filming, and he didn't know how to do it, and he didn't dare to do it. Including Lao Han also has concerns, after all, it is from Hong Kong Island.

But Xu Feizhen dared to do it, not like the last time "The Wind" covered it up, this time it was very direct.

He ignored the order and waved his hand to disperse.

Chen Kexin and Chen Desen glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that they would be replaced at any time, so they hurried to follow.

In the wee hours of the morning, the film and television city is still open.

There are lights on in the water town, and the heroic beauties are in Qingqing.

"But the new director. ”

"Mr. Xu!"

After walking for a while, Xu Fei suddenly said: "I heard that you want to add one more star to play Sun Yat-sen?"

"There is this idea. ”

"Who's the candidate?"

"Naturally, it's a big name, Liang Chaowei and Jacky Cheung can do it. ”

"Hollywood team, please?"

"Uh......"

"It costs 700,000?"

"Mr. Xu, the problem can't be seen like this. ”

Chen Kexin felt empty, but at the moment he could only explain hard: "Although Sun Yat-sen has only one shot and uses makeup to cover up the true appearance of the star, don't you think it's a great gimmick?"

The audience didn't recognize it, and then it dawned on them, oh, like this.

And this role does need a big star town......"

"Then delete it. ”

"Huh?"

"Sun Yat-sen can't be shown as a person, if he sacrifices for someone, it is the so-called child of destiny, making the sacrifice of the righteous cheap.

It is better to use him as a symbol, a spirit that overthrows the old society and establishes a new society.

He doesn't have to show his face, he can shoot the back and side, and end with him leaving Hong Kong safely. Then subtitles, follow up on those revolutionary processes, so that you can have a sense of history. ”

“......”

The two looked at each other again, and Chen Desen relied on Chen Kexin and did not express his opinion.

Chen Kexin paused and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's good to change it like this." ”

"Well, I think it's good too. ”

Xu Fei nodded, took his thermos cup, got on a midnight small three-wheeler, and quietly left.

In 2003, a decree was issued that made three commitments:

Chinese-language films produced by Hong Kong companies are not subject to quota restrictions.

Co-productions between Hong Kong and the Mainland can be regarded as domestic films for distribution in the Mainland.

In the case of Hong Kong-mainland co-productions, Hong Kong personnel are allowed to increase the proportion of Hong Kong personnel.

These three opened the door for the Hong Kong circle to collectively go north. It will be a group, a special unity, and a group of people will have something to eat.

Now, Xu Fei has been doing it since "The Wind", and when the Hong Kong circle is unconscious, he will first take it out and teach it alone. It's not just Tsui Hark and Chen Kexin, there are goals behind.

(Big Chapter, Oh!)
