It's a bit embarrassing to say that you got the wrong direction for the shoot, but it's not hard to understand.

Because neither Li Mo nor Zong Shuai has experienced the complete pre-preparation process of film and television works.

Although Zong Shuai is one of the earliest professional managers in the industry to advocate the professional operation of the artist's career, he is good at stretching strategic planning, focusing on planning and research and development, that is to say, he focuses on the expansion of other fields other than the artist's main focus, and formulates a detailed planning plan and plans out specific implementation steps, the integration and coordination of different modules of the team is his strength, which is why Li Mo invited him to be the producer.

In a mature team, the selection of filming locations is in charge of a special person, and the current situation of "Love Apartment" is purely due to insufficient budget and lack of time, and Zong Shuai is already looking for a shooting location completely according to the scenes described in Li Mo's script.

I have to say that Zong Shuai is strong enough, in just two or three days, the house he found, in addition to the inconvenience of transfer and the possible risk of disturbing the people, has already 80% of the description in Li Mo's script.

As for Li Mo, his experience in the pre-planning of the project is not as good as Zong Shuai, Zong Shuai has been responsible for overall coordination, but he is only responsible for a certain part of the crew's operation, in his previous life, he was able to complete all the work of the crew by himself, that is, all the relevant preparations are in place, he only needs to work......

And this time in the filming of "Love Apartment", Li Mo and Zong Shuai faced exactly no preparation at all, and everything needed to be done by the two of them.

Thinking about this, Li Mo felt that he was still a little overestimating his ability, thinking that he could easily get a 20-episode TV series after making a successful movie, if he hadn't recalled the small tidbits he had seen on the Internet in his previous life, if he really rented the house, just changed scenes during filming, and disturbed the people, these things could make the expenses a lot more......

Thinking of this, Li Mo gave Zong Shuai a look, and then said goodbye to Huang Dong on the grounds that he had something to do temporarily.

Although Zong Shuai didn't know what Li Mo was doing, he still cooperated as a background board......

As soon as the two of them returned to the car, Zong Shuai couldn't help but open his mouth, 'Xiaomo, do you think there's something wrong with that house?'

Li Mo first sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and then began to explain his thoughts to Zong Shuai.

Half an hour later......

Zong Shuai also knew that his strength was not in dealing with these things, so he listened to Li Mo's opinion very happily, and the two immediately drove to a large warehouse that was originally ranked last among the project materials collected by Zong Shuai.

In Zong Shuai's original concept, this was used to build a bar scene......

Now that I've changed my way of looking for it, that warehouse might turn out to be the best choice.

Although Li Mo had the materials in his hand, he kept counting the number of scenes that needed to be built.

The advantage of setting up a scene is that you can flexibly adapt to unexpected situations during shooting, and you don't have to be constrained by more external factors, but the disadvantage is that it takes a lot of money to build a scene, and it will take a long time.

For Li Mo now, time is money is not just a proverb, but a fact of red fruit.

Before you see the house, no matter how much you think about it, it's a castle in the air......

Arriving at the destination, Li Mo was happy as soon as he got out of the car, I don't know if Zong Shuai did it on purpose, but he actually took him to the X2 Creative Park at No. 1238 Xietu Road.

Not long ago, Li Mo had just messed up his first audition to come to this time and space here, but he didn't expect that going around and around, the scene of his first play might be built here, I have to say, this is really a bit of black humor.

Li Mo and Zong Shuai found the management of the creative park in a beautiful three-story building, and after the management heard that Li Mo and his party were interested in renting here, they took the initiative and immediately arranged for a staff member to take the two of them over.

It is estimated that it is because of the successful rental of the house and the fact that you can get a commission, and this staff member is very enthusiastic.

According to the staff, most of the buildings here are rebuilt from the old factory buildings in the 80s of the last century, and the part that has been rebuilt has been completed totaling more than 13,000 square meters, most of which are offices, and the others are warehouses and supporting parts.

After turning around, Li Mo never spoke, and seemed not very satisfied with the conditions here.

Zong Shuai seemed to think of something, and asked the staff member, "By the way, when I came here last time, was the house I looked at rented out?"

'That ......building' The staff seemed to have something unspeakable, and his speech became slurred, which made Li Mo interested in the 'house' in Zong Shuai's mouth.

"Is there anything inconvenient?" Li Mo asked, "If it's inconvenient, let's go to another house." ’

Seeing that the first customer who came to the door in N days was leaving, the staff was a little panicked, and immediately explained, "There is nothing inconvenient, I will take you there." ’

Under the leadership of the staff, when Li Mo came to the door of 'that building' in Zong Shuai's mouth, he knew why this staff member had an 'unspeakable' expression......

The building is so far away and dilapidated......

This is a four-story building, each floor has four or five hundred square meters, so the whole building area is close to two thousand square meters, which is one-fifth of the existing rental area, whether it is an office or a warehouse, it is a good choice, but I don't know why it will be broken like this?

The staff member himself felt embarrassed, and quickly explained: "The predecessor of our creative park was the first joint venture in the printing industry of the Celestial Empire - Yahua Printing Machinery Factory, which was a well-known large enterprise in the entire magic capital back then. As you know, the printing industry is a high-emission and energy-consuming industry, and not long after the joint venture, it caught up with the notice issued by the above, requiring the relocation of high-energy-consuming and high-emission enterprises out of the urban area. At that time, the person in charge thought that this room could be treated differently, so he decided to build this high-standard office building integrating warehousing and office. Unexpectedly, the house has just been repaired, and the relocation notice has also come down. As a result, the house was connected to water and electricity, and the gate was installed, and there was nothing else to ......

Hearing this, Li Mo opened his mouth and asked, 'When you accepted this place, didn't you think about rebuilding or redecorating?'

In the magic capital, where every inch of land is valuable, there is no reason to leave such a large building vacant.

The staff hurriedly explained, "Of course I have thought about it, but you see, this building is too large, if it is renovated according to the standards of an office building, it is a large expense; if it is used as a warehouse, the second floor of the ground floor is okay, but the third and fourth floors, this house does not even have an elevator." The staff pointed to the top and continued, "After studying it for a long time, I didn't know how to rebuild it, so this place is empty for the time being." ’

The problem mentioned by the staff is actually a good thing in Li Mo's view.

The large area means that a spacious scene can be built......

Water and electricity means that the minimum work can be carried out......

The distance means that the soundproofing is guaranteed......

Li Mo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "How is the rent calculated here?"

The staff probably didn't expect Li Mo to be interested here, so he replied after a while, "The construction area here is 1,960 square meters, three yuan per square meter per day, and the property management fee is ten yuan per month, so I will ......calculate it later."

'705,600......' Before the staff could use a calculator to calculate the total, Li Mo had already reported the results, 'You also know what the environment here is like, there is no way to use it directly, we need to renovate it to a certain extent, if you can meet the next requirements, then it will be 600,000 yuan, and you will pay one and pay three......

Hearing this, the staff seemed to want to say something, and Li Mo asked him to listen to his request first.

First of all, we may need to use high-power electrical appliances for renovation and work, so the existing infrastructure must be maintained and expanded to a certain extent in order to ensure our normal use, of course, water and electricity bills can be calculated. ’

Secondly, the renovation must be completed within 10 days and meet our acceptance criteria, after which at the latest, if we do not meet our acceptance criteria, we have the right to terminate the lease agreement and claim compensation, of course, the acceptance criteria will be communicated to you before the start of the renovation. ’

Finally, we ask for the right of first refusal to renew the lease under the same conditions after the lease expires. ’

"Mr. Li, the rent for the first installment should not be less than 650,000 yuan", the staff first asked the superior, "To complete the renovation in such a short time, we must work overtime, this cost is really a bit big, in case you don't rent again, we will lose a lot." So the price really couldn't be lower. ’

Li Mo discussed it with Zong Shuai, and finally accepted the price.

After Li Mo and the other party agreed on a time to sign the renovation and lease contract, they returned to the parking lot.

The two first had a brief exchange of current work progress in the car, and then agreed to meet every three days to check and accept the progress of the hydropower project at the site.

Li Mo promised to draw the layout and design sketches of the scene within a week, and informed the behind-the-scenes members who had completed the interview to start working under the command of Zong Shuai, so that they could familiarize themselves with the work process of the crew as soon as possible and start making some props;

After the above is done, it is almost time for dinner.

After a hasty meal at the nearby KFC, Zong Shuai began to call a lawyer familiar with the firm, intending to finalize the text of the work contract as soon as possible.

Li Mo and Sun Yuyang agreed to meet in his office tomorrow morning to discuss issues about actors.
