"Keep an eye on your belongings, follow me, and don't get separated. Li Mu led the way in front like a tour guide, and he almost didn't raise a small flag.

A densely populated place like a train station is also the place where things are most likely to happen, Liang Hongfei broke in the back, and Xia Yu walked on the outermost side of the team to escort him.

"Come, put the big luggage underneath, and carry the valuables with you, don't lose them. Li Mu beckoned everyone to get on a bus parked outside the train station.

The car is booked in advance, 1000 yuan a day, in fact, it is to pick up everyone, and then send it to the hotel, originally divided into two buses can save some, but considering that the bus is more convenient, I don't care about the two or three hundred yuan.

Because there are more people staying in the group, considering that there may be new actors to join the group in the future, Xia Yu directly contacted a hotel, and a total of forty-five rooms were booked, which almost made this one round.

The hotel is not good, but it is not bad, the decoration should not be a few years, the facilities are also good, but the location is a bit off, but the price is cheap, a standard room is only 1,000 a month.

"Come, two of you have a room, and then decide after you have chosen, otherwise you won't say that others are snoring at night, and you won't be able to change rooms with me!" Li Mu teased.

"Well, does anyone snore at night? We're together, men's doubles!"

"Haha~~~"

Xia Yu was busy with the division of rooms, Li Mu and Guo Tao, Liu Hua, Liang Hongfei, and Xia Yu were all single suites.

This is also the unspoken rule commonly known as the agreement, the main creator of the crew still has to be distinguished from ordinary actors, otherwise he can't stop people on the set, after all, he eats and sleeps together every day, and when the time comes, you turn your face and scold him, what does he think?

A little bit of the gap also makes the actors understand their status in the crew, don't give birth to some ideas that shouldn't be, but help the harmony of the crew!

The unspoken rules formed by a circle are not necessarily all bad things, existence is reasonable, and the key depends on how to use them.

Of course, as the main creator, they are definitely not as idle as ordinary actors, they can all stay in the room to make up for sleep, and Li Mu and Liang Hongfei have to go to inspect the filming site.

The scene of "Crazy Stone" is not complicated, and it is mainly filmed around the Luohan Temple and the Yangtze River Cableway on Xinhua Road.

Originally, Liang Hongfei had inspected it when he was revising the script, but now he has gone through it again, and it is almost finalized.

Because Luohan Temple is a key cultural relics protection unit, the application for filming procedures is a bit troublesome, and it took more than a month to apply with the local cultural relics protection department before it was approved.

Li Mu is actually not the first time to come, after the crazy stone became popular, the Luohan Temple in the mountain city has become a more famous local attraction, and for a while, there was even a travel agency specially planned a "crazy stone" shooting tourist route, in fact, it is very tricky, that is, taking pictures, there is nothing to see.

The Luohan Temple in this time and space is naturally not so famous, but the locals know that there are not many people who come to incense, and it looks a little depressed, that is, it will be a little lively when the celebration is held on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month.

"This place is good, it has a lot of historical charm, and it also fits the expressiveness of the conflict between old and new ideas in the plot. Xia Yu said with emotion.

Li Mu nodded, some people may think that "Crazy Stone" is a simple comedy, but in fact, it is not, after entering the new century, society has undergone earth-shaking changes, whether it should be conservative or innovative, the collision of the two ideas has never stopped.

Among them, Feng Dong's real estate company is a typical "innovative school", and Bao Shihong's handicraft factory is a typical "old-fashioned school", it is undeniable that the "old-fashioned" can only wait for death, Bao Shihong's handicraft factory is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the workers cannot pay their wages, and they can't even report their medical expenses.

The "innovative faction" represented by Feng Dong made a lot of money by buying land, but he did whatever it took to make money, and in the end he even lost himself.

Li Mu asked, "When will the shooting equipment arrive?"

The shooting equipment this time was purchased by Li Mu outside the budget, and the total cost was higher than the overall budget of "Crazy Stone".

After all, one of the main businesses of the studio in the future is to shoot film and television dramas, and it is definitely more cost-effective to buy than to rent.

"The day after tomorrow will arrive, because the shooting equipment is more expensive, and the manufacturer needs to strengthen the outer packaging for delivery, and the time will be slower. Xia Yu said this, his eyebrows fluttered.

He had originally talked to Li Mu about this issue, and originally thought that Li Mu would be inclined to leasing, but he didn't expect Li Mu to wave his hand and directly let him order a new set.

This also shows Li Mu's attitude from another direction, if it's just a big job, why buy a brand new one?

Xia Yu is now full of ambition and vows to make a career in "Muzi Studio".

Liang Hongfei seems to be calm on the surface, but he is actually pretending, he actually couldn't sit still when he was in the magic capital, and he couldn't wait to start filming immediately.

After that, Li Mu took a trip to the ropeway with them, but after coming down, the thieves and chickens were cold, although the temperature in the mountain city in December was about 10 degrees Celsius, but he couldn't stand the strong wind in the river.

"It should be noted that you must prepare warm clothes during filming, otherwise the actors will freeze when they get off the cable car, and the temperature will get lower and lower in the future. Li Mu shrunk his neck.

Xia Yu nodded and picked up the notebook he carried with him to write it down, in fact, this kind of thing is usually handed over to life producers, but the studio did not set up a position for life producers at the beginning, so Xia Yu could only take care of it.

The day after that, Li Mu and the others were not idle, and reported to the relevant departments a bunch of chores such as shooting time.

On the third day of coming to the mountain city, the photographic equipment finally arrived, so Xia Yu also rented two private houses next to the hotel as warehouses, one for photographic equipment, and the other for storing props and costumes.

Of course, the actors are not idle these days, they are busy taking makeup photos, Li Mu also probably flipped through it, and is generally quite satisfied, the most interesting thing is Liu Ying, this girl has the baby fat of a young girl, but Bao Shihong looks at least in her thirties, his girlfriend can't be so tender, right? So Liu Ying was inevitably made a little "old" when she put on makeup.

In short, it's quite interesting, if this girl becomes famous in the future, this drama will definitely become her black history.

After preparing for about five days back and forth, and after everything was complete, the crew simply held a start-up ceremony.

The relevant departments of Shancheng have also sent people over, but they are not weighty leaders, it can be seen that they don't attach much importance to this drama, in fact, it is also natural, Liang Hongfei is still a stunned young man as a director, "Old Boy" can only be regarded as a micro movie, and it may still be a little well-known on the Internet, in these relevant departments, it is a little transparent.

And the cast of this drama is also anxious, Li Mu considered that it was not the best time to be exposed, and he did not announce the news that he played an international thief, and the media only thought that he joined the group as an investor.

In all aspects, in short, this is a crew that seems to be a little joking, and no one thinks that this drama can be popular or anything.

Liang Hongfei burned incense, followed by Li Mu. respectfully burned incense for Guan Erye.

In fact, sometimes it feels very interesting to think about it, now it seems that all walks of life can worship Guan Erye, and I don't know if Guan Erye is busy coming!

"Crazy stone crew, it's officially !!" Li Mu held a "salute" in his hand, and a colorful ribbon burst out of it with a "bang".

"It's finally on!" Liang Hongfei clenched his fists, he had been waiting for this day for too long!

Guo Tao applauded, his eyes gradually reddened, this is his first movie to play the male lead.

Liu Hua on the side patted him on the shoulder, and he was a little touched for a while, the innate conditions are too important in the actor's profession, and the appearance basically determines your career path in the future, he and Guo Tao have been supporting roles for more than ten years, and they seem to be numb, but in fact, who is willing to be a green leaf for a lifetime?

Who doesn't want to stand in the center of the stage to enjoy flowers and applause? More realistically, when the protagonist is paid millions or even tens of millions, and the green leaves are good, can they have this price?

Of course, people know that this status quo cannot be changed, and the earth will not revolve around anyone, so they also cherish this opportunity to be a red flower more and more!

The filming plan on the first day was relatively simple, filming the first scene of the movie, that is, the plot of Bao Shihong going to the doctor in the play.

Li Mu also sat next to Liang Hongfei and stared at the monitor, to be honest, Li Mu was very nervous about playing Mike this time, and at this time he also hurried to watch the performance of the old-timers, hoping to learn something from it.

This shot shows a close-up shot, the shot of the faucet not tightened, dripping little by little, and then Bao Shihong looked at the faucet with a dull face, and the doctor found that he was inattentive and turned off the faucet.

The plot is very simple, which is why Liang Hongfei chose this scene as the first shot of the start-up.

The doctor is a locally recruited actor who sits down with Guo Tao face-to-face.

The faucet dripped, and then the camera switched, and Li Mu was immediately stunned in front of the monitor.

"Attention to close-up at camera number two!" Liang Hongfei shouted at the walkie-talkie.

In the camera, Guo Tao's facial expression is in a sluggish state, as if all the attention is attracted by the faucet, as if he is enchanted, the muscles on his face twitch, and the corners of his mouth are torn.

He didn't say a word the whole time, but it gave people a very uncomfortable feeling!

Li Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he deserved to be an old drama bone, this subtle change in expression made those little fresh meats impossible to learn according to what they learned.

In fact, this seemingly simple shot has a deep meaning in it, because Bao Shihong himself has urinary diseases, and the dripping water from the faucet indicates his illness, and at the same time indicates the distress of a middle-aged man.

Unwillingness at work and physical illness are not only Bao Shihong's character design, but also the basis for promoting the direction of the plot.

After his car crashed into the four-eyed "Don't touch me", he couldn't even get out the maintenance fee of 8,000 yuan, and it was not enough to go to his girlfriend to raise money, and the image of a poor middle-aged man was very distinct!
