Two days later, the Bund, an open-air café.

Gu Biao and Xiao Sui, standing by the river, wrapped in a big windbreaker, facing the winter afternoon sun, looked at a group of studio workers in front of them, busy there according to the requirements of the Hong Kong side.

"Cheers!" The charter king and Sir Shao also greedily enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Bund for the last time, and then toasted with Gu Biao and others, which could be regarded as a farewell.

They are all big names, and their business in Hong Kong is very busy, and it is impossible for them to stay in the mainland for too long. Now that the Chinese New Year is more than a week away, it's time to go back.

After the great man finished his speech the day before yesterday, the 10 million US dollars of the charter king yesterday arrived, and then the local government was also at full speed, and the demonstration of the site selection was voted on -- according to the site selection of the "first batch of eight star-rated foreign-related hotels in China" selected by Director Liao of the State Overseas Chinese Affairs Office in the second half of last year, the land originally scheduled for the Hujiang Huating Hotel was given priority to the "Zhaolong Hotel".

Then early this morning, the charter king and his old father went to the site of the "Zhaolong Hotel" and held a ceremony of cutting red ribbons, asking people to shovel a shovel for the new hotel to lay the foundation soil, which is regarded as a groundbreaking ceremony. Later, all the entourages also shoveled, and even Gu Biao joined in the excitement to shovel a spade, which was similar to the atmosphere of the Arbor Day event.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, it was time for them to leave, so they came to the Bund to take one last look, and by the way, they watched the filming of "Hujiang Beach" a little.

Gu Biao saw with his own eyes that Sir Shao and the charter boat king were showing their true feelings, and wiped away their tears.

Many people feel that Hong Kong businessmen have no sense of belonging to the mainland, and they always say that "we needed money at that time, so we asked Hong Kong businessmen, and the other party could not be so polite", and felt that it was unreasonable for them to rush to send money to meet great men -- this is actually a one-size-fits-all stereotype.

Any group should be analyzed in a realistic and concrete manner.

First of all, most of the older generation of Hong Kong businessmen still have a bit of family and country feelings, and have always regarded themselves as Chinese. In particular, the Mingzhou system and the Shanzhou system are obviously different. Li Jiacheng is from Shanzhou, and the local attention is a little heavier, at least he feels that he is a "southerner who can speak Cantonese". The Mingzhou system, such as Sir Shao and King of Chartered Ships, focuses more on the big concept that they are "Chinese".

Because the Hujiang Beach was originally a place of struggle for their youth and enthusiasm when they were young, it was when the business reached the age of 30 and the Japanese invaded that they left their hometown and fled to Xiangjiang.

The same principle is also applicable to the Wanwan compatriots, and the first generation who fled to live in the dependents' village certainly felt that they were Chinese.

Even if there are some people who have forgotten their ancestors in later generations, it is also a matter of several generations of localization. If these people are hostile to Wanwan compatriots because of their words and deeds, it will undoubtedly hurt the feelings of the dependents.

Chinese are not all good at kung fu, Germans are not all rigorous enough to brush their teeth and the angle of the cup is not wrong, and the French are not all tongue kisses in class, it can only be said that stereotypes kill people.

"Xiao Gu, I'll leave it to you here, if you have any questions, call Ah Hua at any time. ”

"Sir Shao, don't worry, go all the way. ”

……

After sending off the two tycoons, Xiao Sui's female classmates walked over with reverence in their eyes.

They are very fortunate to have the opportunity to get close to the Xiangjiang tycoon to make TV series and open their eyes. I am even more glad to be able to watch the tycoon from afar, and I am very grateful to Xiao Sui in my heart.

Gu Biao's elegant demeanor of talking and laughing just now is even more fascinating.

French-style high-end trench coat, top hat to cover the wind in winter, even if the role of Xu Wenqiang has not yet been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is easy for girls to regard him as the embodiment of Zorro or Ken Takakura.

Li Yiran, who has the highest grade in the middle grade of girls, is older and bolder, so she helps the girls speak:

"Classmate Gu, the day before yesterday you said that you could recommend the children of relatives and friends who have been on the camera, is it convenient to take a look today? ”

Gu Biao came back to his senses, and Yun smiled lightly: "Of course you can, I'll watch it with Suizi, she is a screenwriter, do you know more about character design." What's the matter, Senior Sister Li's family also has friends who want to act?"

Li Yiran explained indifferently: "What's the matter, are they embarrassed to ask, I'll help them ask." ”

Those who study law are still a little thicker than those who are engaged in literature, and they are not afraid of showing their heads.

Xiao Sui smiled and took a few pages of resumes from the sisters, with black and white photos of the children on them, and Gu Biao also looked at them together.

was actually seen by Gu Biao two actors whose names he remembered in later generations, which made him a little surprised.

But then he realized that this was a normal probability.

As early as more than ten years ago, Milgram, a social psychologist at Yale University, proved that under the premise that the communication network has reached its current form, everyone on the earth can contact another unrelated person through six related people, which is the famous "six degrees of separation theory".

Therefore, it is not that Xiao Sui's alumni have many actors in their families, or some other coincidence.

It's just because the opportunity is in demand, Xiao Sui proposed in advance that "those who have been on the camera are preferred", so the students have used several layers of social relationships, and there are still people to rub favors.

For example, Gu Biao is holding a little Lori resume named "Yu Jinghong" in hand, which is a 10-year-old girl, still from Qiantang, and is considered a fellow villager of Gu Biao. Seeing this name, Gu Biao remembered the appearance of the amazing fairy when he watched "Xiao Li Flying Knife" in his previous life.

She is already a distant cousin of Xiao Sui's roommate Yu Fen, who has already been out of Wufu, and the conditions are absolutely in line - she has already played a role in a movie in Emei Film Studio more than a year ago. It's not a trick, it's a child star character with a name and a surname.

I don't know how to trust the relationship to come here, and I have to rush to Hujiang to find an opportunity in Qiantang.

It can only be said that the salary of Hong Kong businessmen's "30 yuan a day with lines" is too attractive.

There is also a resume named "Zhang Min", a 13-year-old girl. When Gu Biao first saw it, he thought he was wrong, because this was clearly the "Demon Sect Demon Girl Professional" who later cooperated with Zhou Xingxing and Li Lianjie in "Su Qier" and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and Gu Biao always thought that the actor was a native of Xiangjiang.

Now that I read my resume, I realized that he was from Hujiang, and he should have immigrated over the eve of the ban on the "base policy" in Xiangjiang in the past two years.

(Note: The "Barrier Policy" is a policy that has been liberalized since the 70s in order to attract cheap labor, that is, mainlanders can get residence permits as long as they successfully set foot on the land of Xiangjiang.) This was also the policy premise of the Taogang tide at that time.

This policy was not implemented until 81 years, because the population skyrocketed, and the Xiangjiang government could not bear it, so it was officially banned. In the early stage, most of those who fled were destitute and proletarian in the hinterland, and could not survive. However, after hearing about the ban, a group of citizens in big cities who still had some industries in the mainland were afraid of missing the last train, so they fled without much thought. ）

"It looks like the conditions are pretty good, let's arrange two characters with lines. Gu Biao and Xiao Sui discussed.

Xiao Sui flipped through the script and arranged casually: "Or that's it - when Xu Wenqiang went on a date with Feng Chengcheng for the first time to have morning tea, there was a little girl who sang in the teahouse with her father." This joke shows Feng Chengcheng's kindness, and the little girl also has some lines, let Yu Jinghong play it.

There is also a little girl who sells fruit with Ding Li at the beginning, who was implicated and asked Zhang Min to go, she is older and can afford to work location. And at this age, it is a bit beautiful, and it is reasonable to be lightly beaten by people on the street, so let Ding Li save her, and then get into trouble because of this, and pull out the joke that he bumped into Xu Wenqiang in the back. ”

Looking at her familiar appearance, she is finally completely familiar with the job of screenwriting, and she knows the character design of each character very well.

The rest of the tricks also have their own arrangements, but there are no lines.

The female classmates were quite grateful, and they all felt that Xiao Sui was righteous and did not hesitate to praise her words. The two little Loli were also brought over and said hello to Xiao Sui.

"Thank you, Auntie, we will definitely do a good job. ”

Xiao Sui couldn't cry or laugh, and touched Yu Jinghong's hair: "I want to call my sister!"

……

Gu Biao is reviewing the trick here, and the filming team over there is also preparing in full swing.

Everyone is very motivated, especially the mainland employees of the Hujiang plant, who regard this as a political task for friendly exchanges. Even if the Hong Kong managers were blunt, they all endured it.

In general, the atmosphere of cooperation is relatively friendly.

Gu Biao finished the business at hand, and then wandered over to inspect.

It was the first time for him to watch filming up close, especially in the era of film cameras, so he was naturally curious. is also willing to fulfill the obligations of a producer. The production assistant sent to him by Fang Hua was next to him, giving him the opportunity to humbly ask for advice.

Gu Biao will not be deeply involved in the entertainment industry personally, but it is necessary for him to understand more about the media operation of this era. It's like a big boss has to work in a grassroots department, it's not a contradiction.

He did quickly get a couple of opportunities to coordinate practical minor issues.

The assistant director's assistant ran over and asked: "Gu Shao, Director Tan feels that this car chase scene is not expressive enough." According to the storyboard in the original script, here is the car that asked Feng Jingyao's men and horses to chase the kidnapper who kidnapped Feng Chengcheng. I didn't expect this alley to be so narrow, it would be too dangerous for two cars to get stuck with each other, and the shooting angle was not good. ”

"Then what does Director Tan mean?" asked Gu Biao humbly.

He felt that he should not let the two cars get stuck with each other, so he would just crash into a few fruit stalls carrying burdens, and find someone from the martial arts to act out of the scene of being taken out by the car - he could even directly design the fruit stall owner who was knocked off to know Ding Li, so that his motivation to catch up was smoother. ”

"Then do what Director Tan wants. Gu Biao waved his hand.

The field manager spread his hands: "The budget for such props is going to be overrun, and you have to be responsible for temporarily finding two fruit sellers to let us crash it." ”

Gu Biao smiled bitterly, and then said to help coordinate.

If the producer is on the set, that's usually the kind of that happens - if the director thinks of destroying something more on the spur of the moment, and doesn't prepare for it in advance, then you have to coordinate. You still have to sign for the overspending, and explain it to the investor in general when the time comes.

The investor's accounting may not necessarily look at the accounts of each prop, but in general, it cannot be wrong.

Especially this time, the Hong Kong side is filming in the mainland, and this side is still strictly social attention, they want to buy a lot of things and it is not good to come forward in person, Gu Biao naturally has to send people.

Xiao Sui muttered a few words to Gu Biao, and then walked to the side of the little Lori Zhang Min who had just arrived, and whispered comfortingly: "Go and change your clothes, you will pretend to be the fruit seller in a while, at the corner of the alley, when the car crashes into your stall, jump out backwards, and a mattress will catch you." If there is a dangerous action, you can add 20 pieces. ”

When I heard that I could get an extra 20 yuan, the child immediately went to prepare for a fake fall.

The Hong Kong side quickly put forward the second request: "Gu Shao, the off-road follow-up camera is not ready yet, and this is the responsibility of your people. ”

According to the filming arrangement of "Hujiang Beach" in the previous life, such a tall and energetic design must not be used, and at that time, there was no "car chase scene", but only a fixed camera to repeatedly show those few driving shots. It's not how good it is, it's just about saving the budget.

Now that Gu Biao has spent more money, and there is also the most high-end Standicon equipment, there is no need to use it in vain, so it is natural to add a car chase drama at least the picture level comparable to Hollywood in the drama of "recovering the robber who tied Feng Chengcheng", and it also requires an off-road camera position, shooting directly in the car to the back and forward, increasing the expressiveness, which will definitely make Asian audiences refreshed.

Gu Biao took a look at the field, and then called an assistant.

This assistant has a secret identity and was sent to him by the Ministry of Ordnance Industry.

"What about Mr. Trafford? Not awake yet? It's time for him to get to work. You said you were going to use him today, you wouldn't be ruthless, would you?"

Mr. Trafford, the technical support engineer from the United States, manages the sensitive high-end equipment.

However, people first arrived a day later than the equipment because of flight problems.

After arriving, the reception comrades in the hotel, and even the Chinese staff of the crew, heard that there were American guests, and they were very attentive, and the delicacies and famous wines of the mountains and seas were very attentive.

So this guy was quickly drowned unconscious by Moutai. It was also calculated that a large bowl of hairy crab meat with fat and yellow paste and a rather cold diet was dismantled, without adding rice wine or vinegar, and taking strong medicine with other cold ingredients.

Trafford heard that this was an expensive ingredient, and he was addicted to eating it with oil, and then he pulled his stomach for two days, and while pulling it, he sighed that the Chinese were really hospitable, and there was no doubt that the other party had other plans.

The people of the Naval Equipment Planning Institute have been thoroughly studying his things for three days, and he is still confused.

"Don't make people sick. Gu Biao was worried.

"Comrade Xiao Gu rest assured, we have a sense of proportion, and we will carry him here in a while. Let your assistant take care of the parameters and he will only be responsible for verbal command. The liaison comrade of the Naval Equipment Institute replied.

It looks like it's really not light.

Ten minutes later, Mr. Trafford was dragged to the set in a rickshaw, and his whole body was still slumped there like mud.

Gu Biao couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Trafford, it seems that you can't debug the equipment yourself." Why don't you teach me how to use these two assistants I brought? ”

Gu Biao said, pulled Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei, who had been squatting next to him, over and introduced them.

These two people also just arrived in Hujiang. They were just on winter vacation in the capital, and they were called by Gu Biao, who promised them food, accommodation and round-trip travel expenses.

I heard that there was an opportunity to touch the equipment for a Hong Kong film co-production, so they sat on the train for a day and a night.

As a sophomore in the Department of Photography, it is a great opportunity to have the opportunity to touch the most advanced photography equipment in the United States, where can I talk about remuneration.

In their eyes, Gu Biao is simply a grace of knowing each other.

Gu Changwei, the future Tianzi No. 1 photographer, asked Trafford for his life: "Mr. Trafford, since you are physically inconvenient, you explain, I will do it." ”

"You can't do it. Trafford asked feebly.

Gu Changwei: "How can you know if you don't try it." ”

Just half an hour later, he was jaw-dropping Trafford with his talent.

"It's the first time I've seen someone who can adjust the compensation parameters to the optimal so quickly in all my years. Gu, you will definitely become a great photographer in the future. ”
