Heart deficiency is a disease, and this disease is still somewhat difficult to treat.
Hiding from Sasha to do such a big thing, even in the next few days, Liu Heming felt very awkward. Then the family tearing group and the wolf cubs were unlucky, and they would be strictly guarded by Liu Heming for their daily fitness exercises, and they had no chance to be lazy.
The treadmill was fun when it started, but after a few days, it didn't feel interesting.
"Locke, you haven't come to play with me for so long, are you really busy studying?" asked Liu Heming with a smile at Locke, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
"I've been working on my dissertation, but now it's finally easier. Locke said with a smile.
"You don't know, I can't be jealous of all those videos you posted here. I'm going to have some fun at that lotus pond today, okay?"
"For you, of course, it's fine, but you have to be safe. Liu Heming smiled and nodded.
"What kind of work do you plan to do in the future? Do you want to make movies? So that in the future, I will be able to meet a famous director in the world?"
"Dexter, don't make fun of me. Although I graduated from USC, I still have a long way to go before I can become a real director. Locke said with a blank look.
"But I have a good idea, and I'm going to discuss it with you this time. I do plan to make a film and need help from your side. ”
"OK, although I don't have a lot of money on hand right now, I can also invest some in you. Liu Heming said briskly.
"No, Dexter, funding is one thing. I came up with the idea of focusing on the daily life of Alex and the animals on your ranch. Locke shook his head.
"Photographing Alex and the animals?" asked Liu Heming curiously.
"Well, I haven't planned the whole shoot yet. In fact, my graduation project was originally intended to shoot a short video of Alex interacting with these animals. But I thought it would be a shame to make a short film, so I planned to make a feature film. Locke nodded earnestly.
"I plan to spend two years conceiving and shooting this film, to conceive a complete story. The whole storyline will be based on the charming girl you treated. ”
"This is a very good idea, will it be screened in the cinema after filming is completed in the future?" asked Liu Heming curiously.
Now that he is also interested, it should be a lot of fun to let his daughter watch his movie in the cinema. And this is a movie, although he didn't want to be a star father, but Alex, the little guy, should be very happy. The satisfaction of his daughter and daughter-in-law is something he will strive for for the rest of his life.
"Whether it can be released in theaters depends on how well I shoot it. Locke said with some embarrassment.
Liu Heming is still thinking too far, and any film director expects his film to be released on the big screen. But that's only if some well-known directors can be released normally, and for a young newcomer like himself, this problem is very complicated.
There are so many films shot every year that not even one-third of them can be released in theaters. The distributor has to see that your movie can bring profits to everyone, so that's okay.
"Locke, this matter is settled. Liu Heming said with a wave of his hand.
"If you don't have anything to do, just live on the ranch and look for inspiration. Whoever you fancy these animals, I'll let them cooperate with your shooting. Whether it's funding or something else, I'll take care of it. You just need to shoot the film, it doesn't matter if it's not released, I'll watch it myself. ”
Locke was a little dumbfounded, he thought of the beginning, but not the end.
The shooting plan of this movie, he really brewed for a long time before proposing it to Liu Heming. Because the shooting of a movie is not so simple, especially the movie I want to shoot is still dominated by animals.
Even if the animals are well-behaved, they may have to adjust several times to have a satisfactory effect when shooting, which will increase the cost of shooting.
Coupled with the rental of equipment and the recruitment of personnel, the filming cost of this movie is probably more than 200,000 US dollars, and this does not take into account the salaries of Alex and the small animals.
The reason why I dared to mention it today is that I feel that according to Liu Heming's love for Alex, I should be able to get some support. But what is the current situation? Is Liu Heming's love for Alex a bit against the sky? People have not considered whether they will make money at all, and the bottom line requirement is that it can be seen as a family documentary.
"Don't worry, it's all small money, it doesn't matter, I can grow some crops casually. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"You have to think about it well, and then you have to shoot Alex beautifully. Now that I think about it, the little guy seems to really like being filmed by others. ”
Locke clicked his lips and felt that the pressure had increased a little more. It is because Liu Heming's requirements are too low, and he promised to give all the investment, so he will not be so easy to deal with this matter.
It's just that Liu Heming has already decided on the matter of making movies now. I have to work hard, even if I don't have a perfect script yet, so I have to get things done quickly, otherwise I won't be able to finish filming in three years, let alone two years.
Liu Heming didn't care about that, he just had to pay anyway. As for how we should make this movie and what to do after filming, he thinks that Locke, as an insider, must be very clear.
Now he feels that Locke is really a good comrade, not only helped him in the early days of the development of the ranch, but now he wants to contribute to the happiness of his daughter.
He didn't hide it, but announced it directly, and reported it to Sasha when he brought her lunch at noon.
Sasha doesn't approve or oppose the matter of making a movie, anyway, let Liu Heming toss it himself. If it's done well, it looks pretty good.
Don't watch this movie yet, but the people in the ranch are looking forward to this movie. The most anticipated is none other than Liu Heming, and the second is not Alex, the future heroine, but Haya, the princess of Qatar.
This thing is interesting, not only do you have to have a good time, but also Helois, a little friend, has to be notified.
Then Rock felt that this matter brought more pressure to him, and Herois, who was preparing for the game, called him. After all, the other protagonist in the film is the prototype of the charming girl, and as the jockey of the charming girl, she also has a lot of say.
Locke regretted it a little and should have had a good time in the ranch for a few days before talking about it. Now I have a lot less interest in playing in the lotus pond.
After thinking about it, he felt that he shouldn't put so much pressure on himself. There's still a lot of time to do it, so at least it's time to have some fun and then think about something else. Other tourists can at most take a look at these lotus flowers on the shore, and they can raft in them, which is already a very good treatment.
As he was rowing inside, he saw Alex "sitting" on the water and floating towards him. He was taken aback, thinking that he had encountered a supernatural event. When I got closer, I saw that Alex was sitting on a small bug.
He is also an acquaintance with the little worm, but the small worm in the past is a real little worm, and now the little worm has become a big crocodile. After not seeing him for a long time, the little insects gave him a somewhat hideous feeling.
"Uncle Locke, do you want me to help you get out quickly?" asked Alex kindly.
"No need, uncle can paddle slowly. Locke declined Alex's offer. I'm worried that Alex's help is to make the little worm run away with its mouth wide open and bite its boat.
The little worm glanced at him, adjusted his direction slightly in the water, and then walked side by side with the boat. Looking at the back of the small insect on the water, Locke wanted to paddle the boat to the side.
Alex rummaged through his small bag and pulled out a strawberry, "Uncle Locke, give it to you, it's delicious." ”
Locke took it and took a bite, it was indeed delicious, very sweet, juicy and milky.
"Alex, are these the strawberries grown on the ranch?" asked Locke curiously after eating one.
Alex nodded, "Well, but there are so few things I can eat right now, and I don't have enough to eat." ”
Every morning with the bears and children to go around the strawberry field, it is now a daily task for the little ones. However, it has not yet reached the real maturity stage, and there are very few that can be searched every day. After dividing the small animals, there are not many left of the little ones.
For this matter, Liu Heming did not stop the little guy. In everyone's eyes, small animals are small animals. But in Alex's eyes, the little animals are her little friends. Sharing strawberries with friends is also a very serious thing in Alex's opinion.
With Alex's company, the pressure in Locke's heart was reduced a lot.
Don't look at the age of the little guy, but he is very talkative. Uncle Locke is like this, Uncle Locke is like that, and many big and small problems also make Locke a little difficult to deal with.
Anyway, with the company of the little one, he also had a lot of fun playing. And the little one had a lot of fun playing with him on the pond side.
Don't look at the lot of children in the ranch, but they don't seem to like to play with themselves. How did she know that this was all what Fernando told the children, and they were afraid that the children would hurt the little ones while playing.
