Chapter 156: The Tea Room
Not to mention how Cao Dahua appeased Hong Qiye there, he waited until it was close to noon, perhaps because the fire scene was temporarily safe, and the police finally let go of the control and allowed the relevant personnel to enter.
As soon as Yang Qiu and Wang Tianlin slipped away, they rushed into Studio B.
As Yang Qiu expected, the roof of Shed B had been burned to the ground, and when he looked up, he saw a blue sky, which was very beautiful. As for the shed, many props and equipment were smashed by the burned beams and tiles, and there was a picture of water and fire everywhere.
As a few people rummaged through a pile of rubble, they finally found something useful.
"Boss, okay, that's all there are for these suitcases. Wang Tianlin pointed to several half-smashed boxes in front of him, and said with a frown: "As for the background props and interlinings, they were either burned or smashed." ”
Yang Qiu looked at the several boxes in front of him and didn't make a sound, bent down and lifted the broken lid of the box, and saw a champion red robe stacked inside.
It's just that the red robe is very filthy now, and wisps of black and gray water stains are indiscriminately soaked on it.
When you pinch it with your hand, you can pinch out the water.
I think that after the box was smashed by the beam, before it could burn, it was sprayed by the fire brigade's hose and directly soaked in water.
"Tianlin. ”
"Boss?"
Yang Qiu casually threw down his robe, looked around and said, "These boxes of clothes, count them and wash them, use them if they can be used, and redo them if they can't be used." As for the interlining...... Let's find someone to redraw. In addition, by the way, find a few more carpenters to see if those smashed props can be repaired. ”
"Good. ”
"Let's stop the play for the next two days, and wait until the costumes and props are ready. ”
Wang Tianlin's face was full of distress, but he still nodded and said: "Okay, but boss, Youqiao is burned like this, if this scene is going to be filmed next, which set will we go to shoot?"
"Which set ......"
Yang Qiu hesitated for a while, Youqiao is definitely not good, the only two sheds, one burned and the other was bald, even if the B shed with less injury was reorganized, it would not be able to come down for more than a month.
I'm sure I'll have to find another set outside.
It's just that nowadays the set is generally an appointment system, and the basic minimum schedule is more than half a month, and it is good for the crew to wait for four or five days, or for seventeen or eighteen days, which is a large amount of useless investment.
Guangyi's Sida studio has not yet been repaired, and the other studios of Beidi Street and Hou Wangmiao are almost full, and as for the Grand View of Diamond Mountain, Yang Qiu has already occupied a shed.
"Tianlin, do you have any familiar sets, introduce me?" Yang Qiu hesitated for a while, but asked directly.
"Familiar on the set...... Wang Tianlin thought for a while, and said to himself: "Why don't you go and find Director Hong Zhonghao, uh, no, I heard that Director Hong's younger brother Hong Shuyun is about to open a new film, you don't need to ask; Nanyang Shiguang is already full...... Hey?!"
Wang Tianlin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said to Yang Qiu: "Boss, you can go to the Huada studio and ask." ”
Yang Qiu also woke up in his mind, clapped his hands and applauded: "Yes, why did I forget Boss Zhang." ”
The Huada studio stands alone in Tsuen Wan, a little far away from Pak Tai Street and Hou Wang Temple, so there are not many film practitioners around.
In today's terms, the upstream and downstream industries are immature.
So this set has always been the last choice of some stingy Xiangjiang film bosses.
The most lively time of Huada was when the Great Wall was first established.
At that time, after Zhang Shankun established the Great Wall, he directly contracted Huada, renting it out to the Great Wall and filming it on the other.
It was very lively.
Later, Zhang Shankun broke away from the Great Wall and founded the Far East, and directly installed the company on the set.
However, the output of the Far East is certainly not as good as that of the Great Wall, and Huada is a little silent.
So......
If Huada can't rent a studio as soon as possible, let alone other sets.
Yang Qiu decided to go to Huada in the afternoon to ask, as for now, it's better to pick up the things in front of you first!
While they were cleaning up the garbage heap, Cao Dahua walked in with three or four people from the set, inspecting the damage to the studio as they walked.
"Inspector Cao, how is the Seventh Master?" Taking advantage of Cao Dahua's leisure, Yang Qiu walked up to him and asked in a low voice.
"What else, the filming can't be done. Cao Dahua replied, very distressed: "This fire has caused me liver pain." ”
Yang Qiu nodded approvingly: "It's me, I hurt too." ”
"Alas...... I'm now estimating that the money for the scaffolding will be gone. ”
"What?"
"Hah, nothing. Cao Dahua waved his hand happily, turned his head and said, "Yang Qiu, give me statistics on your losses as soon as possible, I will compensate you first before I can rest assured." ”
Yang Qiu raised his eyebrows and nodded.
After three or four hours of cleaning, four or five more boxes of items were finally cleared.
Among them, valuable ones, such as negatives, were transferred to Shiguang's film library, and some of the others were piled up at Yang Qiu's house, and some were temporarily stored in Youqiao's factory warehouse, waiting to find a new studio and transport them over.
Then Yang Qiu didn't have time to rest, so he took Wang Tianlin and went straight to Huada.
As soon as I arrived, I realized that Zhang Shankun was no longer in the company and went to a tea room on Granville Road in Tsim Sha Tsui to meet friends.
As a last resort, as soon as possible, Yang Qiu walked towards Tsim Sha Tsui again.
Walking all the way to Granville Old Road, and coming to a teahouse called 'Tianming Pavilion', Yang Qiu turned around and walked in.
The waiter in the tea room must have also received Zhang Shankun's explanation, and after asking about the identities of the two, he took the two of them straight to the private room on the second floor.
As soon as he pushed the door, Yang Qiu saw four people sitting in the tea room.
"Haha, we just talked about the young talents of Xiangjiang. Zhang Shankun stood up with a laugh, gestured to Yang Qiu and said, "Look, this young talent is here." ”
Yang Qiu grinned and arched his hand: "Boss Zhang, it's a bad praise." ”
"Come on, come on, come and sit. ”
"Thank you, Boss Zhang. Yang Qiu walked forward and greeted everyone: "Hello Mr. Wang, good Director Ma Xu." ”
Wang Yuanlong chuckled and nodded, but Ma Xu Weibang was surprised: "Director Yang knows me?"
"I have co-acted in dramas with Ling Gao Yuan Qiufeng before, and I have admired you for a long time. Yang Qiu explained, then looked at the remaining younger person and asked, "Who is this?"
"Oh, Director Yang is good, I forgot to introduce myself, contemptible Yi Wen, a screenwriter, please give me more advice in the future. The young man stretched out his hand across the café.
"Hello, hello. Yang Qiu shook his hand, turned around and pointed at Wang Tianlin again, and introduced: "This is Wang Tianlin and Wang Dao, who are temporarily working in my company." ”
"Hello everyone. ”
"Hello, hello. ”
"Director Wang, good. ”
“……”
Greeting all the way, Wang Tianlin also sat down.
Zhang Shankun took the teacup, poured two cups of tea for Yang Qiu and the others, and asked, "I heard on the phone that you are looking for me in an emergency, I don't know what the so-called matter?"
"Youqiao caught fire last night, I don't know if Boss Zhang knows?"
"I've heard a little. Zhang Shankun nodded, frowned, and said, "What?"
"I have a new drama that is being filmed in Youqiao, but I didn't expect it to hit the muzzle of the gun. ”
"So...... Are you looking for a new set?"
"Exactly. Yang Qiu nodded and continued to ask, "I want to ask Boss Zhang, is there any gap in Huada recently?"
"Haha, speaking of the set, you have to ask Mr. Ma Xu sitting across from you. Zhang Shankun replied with a laugh.
"Huh?"
"Mr. Ma Xu has a drama that is being opened in Huada, as long as this gentleman does not go off the line, he can vacate the set next week. ”
