Chapter Ninety-One: The Set Decorator
In film shooting, the most important thing is naturally the scene layout, selection.
The movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has a series of places such as hotels, football stadiums, and banks as the main filming nodes.
The football stadium is a good connection, Xijing found a civilian stadium, locked all year round and not allowed to enter, Xijing is good to say, spent tens of thousands of yuan in rent, plus two Chinese, to get the janitor uncle.
But...... The hotel in the movie is not so easy to find.
Gardens, fountains, greenery, retro castle decorations, elegant violin and piano concertos, and most importantly, luxurious, resplendent enough, preferably with special effects and shining gold.
At a glance, people can't open their eyes, they will only be shocked by this hotel, and they will feel just lemon for the uncle who did not leave him a legacy of 30 billion.
The Chantri Hotel, the largest hotel in Summer City, has a history of more than 20 years.
It is said that the designer is a foreigner, and the building is ancient, elegant, and quite retro.
The hotel does not have a lot of traffic, with less than one-fifth of the daily occupancy rate, but that's because the hotel is high-end enough and the people who come are also celebrities and aristocrats.
Such a hotel is already considered to be extremely large, and the most important thing is that this hotel was contacted by Lin Xi on his own initiative, and it only took an hour to determine the occupancy.
It is said that the monthly rent is only 20,000 yuan.
With a crew of more than 50 people, the hotel could not operate normally for a month, and the rent was only 20,000 yuan.
Looking at Lin Xi, who was squatting in the corner pitifully and drawing circles, Xijing looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Lin Xi, this hotel is also yours, right?"
"Brother Xi...... You...... How do you know? I told those people not to tell you. ”
Lin Xi snorted, his eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he looked incredulous.
Xijing patted him on the shoulder, holding back the sourness in his heart, and couldn't bear to tell the other party that 20,000 yuan a month rent was not enough to buy a pigsty in Spring City.
There is no way, the price of the second senior brother has soared all the way, and even the home with the second senior brother has soared, and the most annoying thing is that the wonton shop downstairs of the company, fried noodles, and fried cakes have also increased in price, because the boss also wants to eat pork.
It's just that I don't know if the price of these snacks will be reduced after the price of the second senior brother drops, and it is likely that they want to eat it.
Xijing sighed: "It has nothing to do with other people, it's all just because, your face is full of inferiority!"
"So that's the case!" Lin Xi hung his head frustratedly: "Brother Xi, I just want to help you, I know that my family background is not worthy of my current status......"
"Okay, you don't have to say it, I understand!"
"Brother Xi, you understand before I explain it?"
"There are some words, some people, who don't need to be said, to understand. ”
Lin Xi looked a little puzzled, and Xijing paused: "In the future, bury these inferiority complexes in your heart and write them in your notes, the more authentic the better, don't listen to what those people on the Internet say about serious people who write diaries, that's their sour." By the way, I'll sort out my diary in two days, I don't have enough manuscripts there. ”
"Uh-huh!"
Lin Xi nodded vigorously, and his clean eyes could overflow with water: "Brother Xi, I remember everything." ”
"Very good, you did a good job this time, this hotel is very good, very suitable for shooting, but some are too good, next time remember to choose a little less grade." ”
"But ......"
Lin Xi hesitated, and hesitated: "This hotel is already the worst in Xia City." ”
Perhaps because he was afraid that his description was not detailed enough, Lin Xi continued to explain later: "Our family has always taken the high-end route, and never built too bad hotels. ”
The foundation is too bad......
Will be on some ......
Looking at this Holiday Inn in the style of an eighteenth-century castle, Xijing swallowed his saliva, feeling more and more that his rich second generation was a fake.
The worst hotel in the family, when I was working in a bar, I had back pain to stay for one night a month.
waved his hand and took advantage of the chaos to stuff a quick-acting heart-saving pill.
Xijing quickly signed a lease contract with the person in charge of the hotel, and 20,000 yuan was naturally impossible, which was too ridiculous.
Lin Xi, this kid has no concept of money, 10 million and 1,000, isn't it just an extra 10,000 in the back, anyway, it's a month's living expenses, there is no difference.
As for Chantri, as he said, this is the least popular hotel in his father's business, and he is the type of person who only remembers "Oh, there is also a hotel of his own" when he passes by.
Such a hotel, it feels embarrassing to mention it, let alone ask for rent, he originally planned to shoot for Xige for free, but he was afraid that Xige would refuse, so he casually thought of a number.
In black and white, the two parties signed their names, and the Shantry Hotel is temporarily owned by Longming Entertainment.
The lease term is one month, and the rent is 500,000 yuan.
Strictly speaking, Xijing still takes a big advantage.
But because of Lin Xi's shame and desire to die, he couldn't wait to give himself money, so he could only give up.
The hotel is rented, but it only has a shooting location and needs a set.
Xijing brought a professional set designer this time, produced by a veteran studio, but his strength is quite strong, and he has cooperated with many big directors.
At the beginning of Xijing's inquiry, because of his poor reputation, the lack of film funds, and the entertainment of birds and dragons, Lin Xi and his Lao Tzu came forward, and hurriedly knelt down and licked over, and said that he was willing to eat grass and milk, take the lowest price in the market, and do the work of animals.
"That's all the renderings I've made, you just follow my storyboard set, three days, I'll shoot other scenes first, and after three days, I want to see the finished scene. ”
"Don't worry, three days is enough. ”
The set designer took a series of pictures that had already been drawn in Xijing's hand, carefully compared them, felt that there was no problem, and turned around and left.
An excellent set designer must have an SM heart, and what a hanging director can handle. The more you insult me, the more excited I become, you think you have satisfied your deformed desires, in fact, Lao Tzu has already reached a high point.
As an old man in the industry, this set designer has naturally served all kinds of perverts.
There are literary schools, abstract schools, and hazy schools, and there is only one impression in their minds, and they don't know what they want.
Only give you a feeling, ask you to set the scene according to that feeling, you ask him, he is also in the clouds, he doesn't know what to do.
The scenery is finished, either it doesn't feel right here, or there is a lack of impression and beauty, you change it violently, and your liver is exploded, and in the end, he silently chin down.
"I think...... It's still the first version that best suits my feelings. ”
Set Decorator "NMSL, WSND!"
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, even those that are not hard-loaded.
In contrast, Xijing, who is willing to draw renderings, is really a handsome phoenix!
