Chapter 45: Creating a Crew

Rented.

Cheng Ran, who is on fire for half the sky on Microfox.

Just rented such a dilapidated house.

Zhang Qiang followed Cheng Ran and watched him sign a contract with the landlord Li Jun step by step and get the key to the door.

"Ah Ran, isn't it a bit of a waste for you to rent this broken warehouse to store equipment, and depending on the situation, this house is not moisture-proof......"

Zhang Qiang looked at Cheng Ran with a strange light in his eyes, and didn't know why he was a little panicked.

"So I'm going to convert this place into our temporary home. ”

Cheng Ran stood at the door of the tattered warehouse with his hands in his hands, his eyes surprisingly serious.

Just kidding, this thing only costs more than 10,000 yuan a year, and the water and electricity landlord lets Cheng Ran pay it himself, and he doesn't earn any money at all.

Where to find such a good place?

How could Cheng Ran, who had only planned to stay here for only one year, let go of such a good thing.

Economize!

Economize!

Although it is a little broken, it is a little dirty.

But just to clean it, it's not enough to live in.

"But... But ......"

Zhang Qiang muttered in his mouth, but he couldn't find a reason to refute Cheng Ran.

Before coming to Hengcheng, he thought about it, because no one in the early stage could be very bitter and tired.

But he really didn't expect that even the place where he lived would be so difficult.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, if you want to go to bed early, hurry up and clean the room, the landlord said that he will give us two beds later. ”

Cheng Ran handed Zhang Qiang a broom and began to clean up in the warehouse.

"Okay. ”

Looking at Cheng Ran's serious appearance, Zhang Qiang sighed helplessly, although this is not very consistent with the script in his heart, but since he has come.........

Dry.

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

The warehouse is about 100 square meters, but because it is relatively empty, it is almost enough for two people to clean it together for an hour.

During this period, the landlord also sent a bunk bed like a student dormitory.

Cheng Ran and Zhang Qiang carried the bed to the corner of the warehouse, and went out to buy two mats and two thin quilts.

"Ah, it's almost, go out for a meal, buy a fan and buy some shower gel to live in. ”

Zhang Qiang turned out of the toilet with a disgraced face, and no one has cleaned this bathroom for I don't know how many years, especially the squatting toilet......

It's hard to put into words.

"You take a shower first, and we'll go for supper later. ”

Smelling the strange smell on Zhang Qiang's body, Cheng Ran subconsciously stayed away from him, handed him the shower gel, and asked him to hurry in and take a bath.

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

Hengcheng Film and Television City Commercial Street.

Zhang Qiang and Cheng Ran sat at the door of the food stall, quietly eating supper.

The two of them, who had been busy all day, also calmed down at this time.

"Ah Ran, what are you going to do with the crew? This is not in Kyoto, without Mr. Li's help, we don't have any equipment or anything. ”

The fat man took a big sip of beer and looked at Cheng Ran seriously, he had an idea that he didn't know whether to say or not.

"Crew......"

Cheng Ran took a big sip of juice, lit a cigarette, looked at Zhang Qiang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and knew that this guy should probably have a plan.

"I haven't thought about it yet, what do you suggest?"

"When I was an assistant director before, I knew a few people with good abilities......"

"Okay, but our crew is just getting started, and you know the funding. ”

Smoking a cigarette sadly, Cheng Ran looked at Zhang Qiang with a worried look.

In the past few days, Cheng Ran has also read a lot of books about the film industry in order to better enter the role, and he barely knows the general idea.

A well-established crew consists of six groups.

Director's team, production team, drama team, photography team, art team, recording team.

Zhang Qiang is currently the leader of the director team, and Cheng Ran can be regarded as half of the director team and half of the production team.

The main role of the production team is money, maintaining the operation of the entire crew, responsible for providing funds to the photography and art teams, buying photographic equipment, artists buying makeup artists, providing props, etc.

As for the role of the production crew, the third-party investor is responsible for supervising the flow of the production's finances, reviewing the next approval, and so on.

Cheng Ran and Zhang Qiang, even if they are capable, cannot be called the entire crew, especially those scenes with complex scenes and many group performances, they can't manage it at all.

"Don't worry, the post-production of our movie "This Man is from Earth" was done by a classmate of mine, who opened a wedding dress shop in his hometown before, responsible for post-editing, and it didn't cost much money to cultivate and cultivate in the early stage. ”

"Well, this is okay, let him come over and learn to do it slowly, it just so happens that "Buried Alive" basically doesn't need any too tough editing techniques. ”

Cheng Ran is very satisfied, very satisfied, how much can he be given for the post-editing of a wedding dress shop?

If it's a god, I'll give you four or five thousand a month, at least it's much cheaper than the post-production prices that those regular crews are looking for, often tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands.

"And photography, it just so happens that the photographer in their bridal shop is also going to change jobs, why don't you pull it over together?"

"Yes, but the photographer's salary ......"

Cheng Ran frowned slightly, about the footage of "Buried Alive", he was prepared at first, and the picture shot by relying on a few fixed cameras was handed over to the post-editing when the time came, and a film was cut out.

And the photographer's salary is a relatively large expense, tens of thousands of dollars is definitely necessary, even if the photographer of the wedding dress shop needs at least 30,000 or 50,000 yuan.

"Apprentice, apprentice, I estimate that he should be willing to come after three or five thousand. ”

Seeing Cheng Ran's hesitation, Zhang Qiang hurriedly said with a smile.

His brothers all came out of college with him, and because of their own mistakes, they lost their jobs together and were reduced to returning to their hometown to take wedding photos.

This matter has always been a thorn in Zhang Qiang's heart, and now that he has the opportunity, he has to pull these brothers into the crew, and this time he is a veteran-level character, even if the treatment in the early stage is a little worse, but as long as it develops, it is better than following the surname Deng.

Besides, who is following this time.

Cheng Ran!

The demon of iniquity.

Singing, writing songs, playing the piano, making movies, writing poems......

Play what fire, what.

The most important thing is Li Qiuxue!

Zhang Qiang once inadvertently checked Li Qiuxue's background, after all, he was his nominal boss, the legitimate boss who signed the contract, and he was always a little unsteady in his heart if he didn't understand Zhang Qiang.

But this understanding almost scared Zhang Qiang out of the pee.

Li Qiuxue, Carlisle's largest shareholder.

He is currently President of Carlisle.

and Li Junshou, Li Mengmeng are brother and sister.

His father, Li Cangtian!!

Li Cangtian!!!

Father is Li Cangtian!!

Who is Li Cangtian?

Now the younger generation of young people may not be familiar with him.

But because of his family, Zhang Qiang grew up listening to his name.

Especially now that Li Junshou has an international status, it is even more invincible.

Money is the goal of ordinary people's life.

But for Li Cangtian's children, it may really be just a string of numbers.

Isn't it better to have such a big backer than following Deng Wenbin, a slut who likes to warp corners?

and Li Qiuxue's attitude towards Cheng Ran.

Zhang Qiang sometimes wondered what Cheng Ran was thinking in his head?

It's all so obvious, Cheng Ran didn't react at all.

Alas!

Uncomfortable ~ shiitake mushrooms.

If he can be taken by Li Qiuxue, he will be worried that he will have no money to make movies.

Don't make any movies for me!

Just looking at Li Qiuxue's ungodly appearance, you can watch it for a lifetime.

"Apprentice, that's okay, of course I won't treat others badly, I will receive three or five thousand a month, and then we will share a little of the movie, we can't let people suffer. ”

"Well, by the way, there is also the management of the crew, the scene notes, the makeup, the props, the costumes..."

"Yes, yes, I know a girl who specializes in managing these, not only is she beautiful, her ability is particularly strong, and her connections are also very wide, and the crew of thousands of people is well organized. ”

Zhang Qiang's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

He knew a junior sister at school before, and he was not very familiar with it at the time, after all, he also had a girlfriend, so he met and said hello, and then the junior girl went to study abroad in Hollywood for a few years, and came back this year to ask himself to find a job, and Zhang Qiang was easily placed in his crew.

After Deng Wenbin was beaten by Zhang **, he opened a large number of characters related to Zhang Qiang, but he did not expel this one, which shows how strong her ability is.

"This must be expensive. ”

Cheng Ran's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked a little reluctant.

"Although this is a bit expensive, but the ability is definitely enough! And the management of the crew is not sloppy, if you hire a half-asser, the crew will be managed in a mess, and it will also affect the filming schedule, and the cost will naturally be high once the shooting schedule is delayed......

Zhang Qiang said a lot, and Cheng Ran thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was really like this.

"If you want to invite you, it will cost you about how much money a month. ”

"Hmm...... I conservatively estimate 50,000 a month ......"

Zhang Qiang said with insufficient confidence.

"Fifty thousand!"

Cheng Ran leaned on the backrest and looked at the sky with some melancholy.

Photography is 5,000 a month, 60,000 a year, editing is 5,000 a month and 60,000 a year, your drama manager needs 50,000 a month to start, don't you need 600,000 a year?

Never mind...

Never mind...

"Let's say, "Buried Alive" hasn't started filming yet, and when "Buried Alive" is finished, I'm going to think about the next movie. ”

Cheng Ran stood up and looked at Zhang Qiang, who was almost pleading, and almost relented and agreed directly.

But think about 600,000 a year.

Forget it, men still have to be themselves.

Dingdingding......

"Where are you?"

"I'm here in Hengcheng Film and Television City. ”

With a snap, Cheng Ran lit a cigarette and replied to Li Qiuxue.

I have already arrived in Hengcheng, Li Qiuxue is capable, it is impossible to follow the phone.

Even if I come, I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Be arrogant, even if it's death, it's tomorrow's thing.

"Which hotel are you staying in?"

"Didn't stay in a hotel, rented a house. ”

"No money?"

"No, I just want to save a little bit and make a movie. ”

Squatting on the side of the road, Cheng Ran watched passers-by on the street talking on the phone with Li Qiuxue, and his heart was surprisingly calm.

"Give me the address!"

"What are you going to do......"

"Give me the address!"

"Oh, I live in ......."

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

A dark corner around the corner.

Tang Wen rubbed his aching ankles and slapped a few mosquitoes to death, but his eyes were surprisingly excited.

"Big news! Big news! Cheng Ran ran to Hengcheng without saying a word! What are you conspiring with Zhang Fatzi......
