"Oh? Lin Jingliang looked at Xiao Yao with a smile, "I believe that if you have enough money, you can indeed pull a professional construction team here to build a house, but that village is a poor country after all, how long will it take to get in touch and pull the team over? When will the manpower and materials be in place? The time you asked for is so tight, this can't be solved with money." ”

"Okay, I'm Meng Lang again. Xiao Yao scratched his head embarrassedly by Lin Jingliang, "But that's the case, I built several hope primary schools in Wuyou County, Sichuan Province before, and I didn't donate the money to the local government or charitable organizations, but invited a construction company to build a house there." ”

"You still found someone to cover up Hope Primary School yourself?" Lin Jingliang interjected in surprise, "Wuyou County in Sichuan Province, where the earthquake occurred a few years ago?"

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "I participated in rescue activities during the earthquake that year, and I made a little effort in post-disaster reconstruction. ”

"I only know that you have more than 1,000 pianos in the public areas of big cities, and it seems that you have never heard of this matter reported by the media, and it is still a secret to do this kind of thing?" Lin Jingliang asked with a smile.

"It's not important," Xiao Yao said, waving his hand, "The important thing is that Wuyou County is also surrounded by high-altitude mountainous areas, and the location where the school was built is also in a relatively remote village." That time, my team was looking for a construction company that was very good at building houses in the mountains. Through that cooperation, my team, mainly my agent, had a good relationship with that company, and it shouldn't be a big problem to ask them to send a few technicians over as soon as possible. ”

"It's not difficult for a company to temporarily dispatch a few technicians over, but what about the workers and materials?" Lin Jingliang said, "As far as I know, in the construction industry in China, construction companies are looking for contractors, and workers are in the hands of contractors. If you're going to pull out a team of construction workers, I'm afraid you can't do it in just a few days, right?"

"In terms of workers and materials, I intend to solve them on the spot. Xiao Yao said, "I know that many times in the countryside to build houses are built by the villagers themselves. A village, at most a few nearby villages, can generally find workers of all the types of work needed to build a house. In terms of materials, they themselves know very well what kind of materials are used to build houses on their own land is the most cost-effective, and they generally have their own sources of materials. ”

"We have to find a place in the village to film, or we can leave the matter of building a house to the villagers in the village. Now is not the busy season for farming, I believe that there should be people in the village, and they should be willing to make this money. Xiao Yao finally said, "Let's ask the technical staff of the construction company to be the guide and backbone to ensure the quality of the house and meet your requirements, and ask the villagers to be workers, buy materials through the way of the villagers, fully mobilize the local forces, and save time." If you do that, you should be able to build a house in a month, right?"

"Since you've thought it through, then do as you say!" Lin Jingliang said with a smile, "I'll make the drawings and requirements of the school house today and tomorrow." Tomorrow you can negotiate with the people in the village, and we will start work as soon as possible. ”

After telling Lin Jingliang, Xiao Yao left Lin Jingliang's room, went to Fang Yi again, and told her his plans.

Xiao Yao was given full responsibility for the construction of the Hope Primary School in Wuyou County, and he had not been in contact with the construction company in charge of the project.

However, it was relatively late now, Xiao Yao just explained to Fang Yi in advance, and did not ask Fang to contact the construction company now. After negotiating with the villagers tomorrow, Fang still contacted the construction company to ask for someone.

The next morning, Xiao Yao and his entourage came to Dahebao Village again under the leadership of the guide Alatan.

Qingshuihe County is located close to the border of Jin Province, and Alatan is familiar with this area, speaking not only Mongolian but also the dialect of Jin Province. When I went to talk to the villagers about renting a venue, I was also brought by Alatan, a local, as an introducer.

The venue that Xiao Yao and Lin Jingliang want to rent is the place in the village, and for this kind of thing, they go directly to the village committee to find the village chief or village party secretary. When everyone arrived at the village committee, they found that there was no one in the village committee, so under the instructions of the villagers, they went directly to the village chief's house.

The village chief was a middle-aged man in his fifties, and after hearing that Xiao Yao and them explained their intentions, he behaved very novelly. Their village is very remote and poor, and people of his age in the village have only seen movies in the open air in the village barn in the early years, and have never been to the cinema, let alone seen what it is like to make a movie.

But it doesn't matter if you don't know what it means to make a movie, Xiao Yao and they want to rent the land in the village, which means very clearly. The village chief knew all the land in the village, and even asked Xiao Yao to take him to the place they liked.

When they came to the place where Xiao Yao and they were in the picture, and after listening to Xiao Yao's introduction, when the village chief found that the place they wanted to rent was an idle and useless slope in the village, he immediately waved his hand and said that it was no problem, just look at giving the village some money or benefits, and it seemed that there was no bargaining at all.

Later, when they heard Xiao Yao and them say that they would hire people from the village to build a house on that sloping land, and the materials would also be bought through the village, and that the built house could be given to the village after the film was filmed, the village chief waved his hand and even waived the cost of renting the venue.

The village chief's performance made Xiao Yao and his party feel a little overjoyed. Xiao Yao, who felt that it was a little too smooth, also carefully inquired about the village party secretary in the village and asked the village chief if he wanted to ask the village party secretary's opinion.

In Huaxia, the village is the most basic administrative unit, and there are two main leaders. Among them, the village director, commonly known as the village head, is elected by the villagers, and the village party secretary is elected by the members of the village party branch. The village head leads the work of the village, while the village party secretary guides the work and is responsible for supervising the work of the village head and the village committee. Xiao Yao was afraid that the village chief would agree well, but the village party secretary would not agree, and this matter was still in vain.

When the village chief heard Xiao Yao ask about the village party secretary, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head. It turned out that the village party secretary of this village was the son of him, the village chief. In the village, it is basically him, the village chief, who has the final say. Xiao Yao and they used an idle vacant land in the village to ask the villagers to help build a house, so that the villagers could earn wages, and they also gave the house to the village when they left.

Since the village chief said so, Xiao Yao immediately asked the village chief to go to the village committee to sign an agreement and finalize the matter.

Before they came, Xiao Yao and the others had already prepared a template of the agreement. Take it out and fill in all the conditions, and then ask the village chief to stamp the official seal of the village committee, and the matter will be settled.

Now that the matter of renting the space is done, the next thing is to build the house.

Since Lin Jingliang's drawings and requirements for the house have not been fully completed, and he cannot make a budget for the project for the time being, he can't sign a contract now. However, Xiao Yao saw that the village chief attached great importance to building a house, and also gave him a reassurance.

No matter how the house is built, the building materials and workers are needed. Xiao Yao auctioned 10,000 yuan in cash for the village chief as a deposit on the spot, and asked the village chief to find someone to help them contact some building material suppliers and prepare some materials.

Seeing a bundle of red banknotes in front of him, the village chief was very happy, and his good impression of Xiao Yao and the others also increased. Seeing that the time was close to noon, he warmly invited Xiao Yao and his party to his house for dinner, saying that he was going to kill a sheep at noon and entertain them.

Lin Jingliang wanted to hurry out of the design drawings of the house, Fang still had to contact the construction company, Xiao Yao also felt that the time was urgent, and he wanted to set up the crew as soon as possible, and the people from the film and television company had to follow up on the budget and further follow-up work.

Xiao Yao and the others thanked them again and again, asked the village chief to write them a receipt for the deposit, and after leaving contact information with the village chief, the group set off and returned.

For Lin Jingliang's set design, director Xiao Yao has to make the final review. After returning to Qingshuihe County, Xiao Yao did not immediately return to Shencheng to be busy with the formation of the crew, but went to the room with Lin Jingliang to make the design of the school. Of course, it was mainly Lin Jingliang who did it, and Xiao Yao watched from the side, expressing some of his own opinions from time to time. If the pattern is done in this way, it will naturally be Xiao Yao's satisfaction.

That evening, Lin Jingliang completed the overall design of the school, and then began to design the interior decoration and furniture. Two days later, technicians from the construction company arrived in Qingshuihe County. After taking Lin Jingliang's design drawings to Dahebao Village to take a look at the site, after measuring some data, and then talking to the village chief about the price of materials and labor, he began to make a project budget.

Xiao Yao did not participate in these things anymore, and handed them over to the technical personnel from the construction company and the employees of the financial and commercial departments of the film and television company to operate them.

Seeing the project budget they handed over, Xiao Yao found that the total number did not exceed his expectations in his heart, and he didn't bother to bargain with the people in the village, so he agreed with a wave of his hand.

The village has done a lot of preparatory work in the past two days, a lot of materials have been booked, and the workers who can work have also dealt with the things at hand, and they are waiting to start work. As soon as Xiao Yao agreed, the film and television company in Shencheng transferred the money to the special account for the film project, and the work started immediately.

In the process of building a house, Xiao Yao, Lin Jingliang and others do not need to supervise the whole process. The two just went to the site two days before the start of construction, and saw that the construction site was orderly and in full swing, so the two temporarily put down the matter here. Leaving the two employees brought by the film and television company as representatives of the crew, Xiao Yao and Lin Jingliang set off to return to Shencheng with their respective teams of five people.

After returning to Shencheng, Xiao Yao and Lin Jingliang started the formation of the crew in full swing.

Lin Jingliang first interviewed the personnel of the behind-the-scenes departments such as clothing, chemistry, road, lighting, and photography, and finally made a decision with Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao needs to find two assistant directors to share his own work first, and hand over the selection of department personnel such as scene reporters, drivers, and other department personnel who have little to do with the art and actors such as dragon sets and group performances to the assistant director and some administrative personnel stationed in the film and television company to the crew. In addition to meeting Lin Jingliang with Lin Jingliang for the final meeting with Lin Jingliang's favorite objects selected by the art department, the most important thing is the audition of the main actors.

During that time in Qingshuihe County, Xiao Yao also made an investigation of the local conditions. The climatic and environmental conditions of housing, food, transportation, and filming locations will be roughly known at that time. After returning to Shencheng from Qingshuihe County, Xiao Yao also gave the casting studio the conditions during the filming, so that they could communicate with the candidate actors again according to these conditions and the new shooting schedule, and the actors who could accept it could arrange for role auditions. As for the audition, it starts in three days and tries to finish all of them within two weeks.

It took three days to determine the two assistant directors, and together with Lin Jingliang, he finalized the crew's camera team and props team, and sent the two teams to Dahebao Village to familiarize themselves with the environment in advance, Xiao Yao began to audition for the main actors.

Since the pre-casting work is handed over to the casting studio, the location of the audition is also in that casting studio.

The time required for an actor's audition is not necessarily, but can only be roughly estimated, so the date of the actor's audition is fixed, but the time of the audition is not so accurate. However, at least the audition time for the first audition actor each day can be prescribed.

On the first day, the first audition actor arrived earlier than the time notified by the casting studio, and Xiao Yao arrived on time. The casting studio prepared a special audition room for Xiao Yao, set up the required cameras in advance, and after Xiao Yao arrived with someone, the audition began.

The first actor to audition is called Yang Zhiqing, who is in his fifties, and the audition role is Sun Henghai, the principal in the movie.

Yang Zhiqing is a veteran actor with rich acting experience. It's just that he generally acts in dramas, and although he has also participated in film and television works, he basically plays some small supporting roles, and his popularity among ordinary people is not high. But Xiao Yao knows that this Teacher Yang is not only a national first-class actor, but also a painter, a member of the Chinese Dramatists Association and the Artists Association, and he can definitely be called an old artist with very high performance skills and self-cultivation.

Xiao Yao knew that the first actor to audition today was Yang Zhiqing. When he arrived at the casting studio, he didn't go to the audition room to wait for Yang Zhiqing to enter the audition, but took the initiative to go to the waiting room to greet Yang Zhiqing first.

"Hello Mr. Yang, I'm Xiao Yao, the producer and director of this movie," Xiao Yao took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Yang Zhiqing, bowed and said hello, "I feel very honored that my film can attract a teacher like you to audition!"

"Really?" Yang Zhiqing smiled and shook hands with Xiao Yao, "In that case, isn't my role nine out of ten?

"That's not good!" Xiao Yao immediately shook his head and said, "You are a senior, I am a junior, and now I come to say hello to you, to express my respect for you." But after a while, when I entered the audition room, I was the director, and you were the actor who came to audition in my eyes. If I don't think your performance is suitable for the role of Principal Sun in the movie, no matter how much I respect you, I will not give you this role hastily. I'm responsible for my own work!"

"Okay!" Yang Zhiqing laughed, patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder and said, "The director should be like this! No matter what age and qualifications are, in a film crew, he is the director!"
