Chapter 733: Something Happened
As he spoke, producer Da Liu said in a low voice: "Or you will deduct ten yuan per person." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info If they rebel, I'll help you go, just say that the crew will give so much, and they won't dare to do anything. ”
When Liu Chen heard this, he said, "Why should I deduct ten yuan from them, they earn all their hard-earned money." Is it a human business to withhold their money?"
Liang Sheng was taken aback, looked at Liu Chen twice like a monster, and shouted: "Hey! You kid is pretending to be stupid with me! You're really a awesome! Who are we going to eat if we don't eat actors? Do you think you have other wages, aren't the money of your group leaders deducted from them? What kind of good person do you pretend to be here, what kind of high money! When the money comes to me, I only deduct five yuan for each person, and there is a kind, you go to the production director and tell it! Do you understand the rules!"
Liang Sheng sneered and left.
Liu Chen looked at it, and then persuaded him in the afternoon, the group leader grabbed his arm, and said, "Xiao Liu, don't make trouble, okay! Do you really not understand or pretend not to understand? This is the rule." This line of work has always been like this, the producer pays for it, and the director already knows that this is the case when he approves the money, and everyone thinks this is the way it should be! Zhang Yimou, Brother Chen Kai, even American directors have to follow the local customs when they come to China to film, what do you have to do with him!"
Liu Chen was stunned, and for the first time felt that the crew was very different from what he had thought before.
The man continued: "Our money is also in it, the money for the group performance is opened, the production director will deduct ten yuan, we and the producer will deduct another five yuan, and the rest is their money, those few hundred a day, you deduct fifteen yuan, and give them seventy." This is a rule, an iron rule, do you understand? You, listen to my brother, we have a conscience. Some group leaders only give them 15 yuan a day, and all of them have 10 yuan! If you want to make more money, didn't he say it just now, or you can deduct 10 yuan!"
Liu Chen said: "I'll talk to the production director!"
Several group leaders counted the money while smiling, looking at Liu Chen like an ignorant child.
The man smiled and said, "Then you can go! Beware of the whole group being kicked out tomorrow, the most hated thing in this industry is the person who breaks the rules." Do you think you're the boss of a film company? Brother, you're a small group leader, with a bunch of mud legs, and you're a contractor on the construction site. The director of the production is seeing you?"
Several group leaders laughed, clapped their hands and dispersed.
Liu Chen thought about it, yes, although I am the major shareholder of Sugar Man, but my current identity is a group leader, if I show my identity directly, I am afraid that this group leader will not be able to do it, and Wang Lai's task is also explained, since it is the group leader, I will use the group leader to solve the problem.
Back at the lodging place, they lived in the guest house of the base, with two people in the group and six extras in one room, and Tongkang.
Liu Chen entered the extras' room and distributed the money to them, and these honest men were elated with the money they had received.
The one who made a mistake today lowered his head and didn't speak, he also knew the rules, the money would definitely be deducted, even so, as long as he continued to do it, thank God, Liu Chen took out a hundred from himself and handed it to him, and said: "This is given to you alone, the crew still knows your hard work, and has not forgotten your share." ”
The young man looked at Liu Chen suspiciously, and suddenly his eyes lit up with surprise, he was beaten hard, sprayed so much water, and tired for a day, it seemed to be worth it, but he knew the rules and didn't dare to reach out to pick it up.
Liu Chen said kindly: "Your name is Xiaochun, right, I heard that you still have a beautiful girlfriend in your hometown waiting for you to make money and go home to marry her, you deserve this money, take it." ”
This strong young man didn't say a word when he was treated like that, his eyes were full of crystal mist at this time, Liu Chen shouted: "Grass, Lao Tzu let you take it, grinding and chirping like a woman, don't you want to go to work tomorrow?"
Xiaochun took the money at this time, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he said with a little choked up: "Thank you, boss." ”
Liu Chen went to the female extras again and divided the money, and the rural woman cherished the money and handed it over to an elderly and trustworthy eldest sister, who carefully wrapped the money in a handkerchief and put it in a close place, and pressed it with her hands.
Liu Chen remembered the words of the producer and the group leader just now, and then looked at these simple people, and felt uncomfortable for a while, his character couldn't see this.
Liu Chen just walked to the corridor and called a group of extras to stop him, and the leader said, "Boss, our money today is not right!"
Liu Chen sighed and said, "That's all for all of you." ”
"That's not right!" An old man headed by him became anxious when he heard this, and said loudly: "Boss, how can you give it all to us? There is your money here! We will take it no matter how good we are, give more and give more, this matter is very troublesome! Folks, quickly give Mengtou's share!"
In response, a man inside took three hundred sheets from everyone's hands and stuffed them into Liu Chen's hands, which were hot.
The old man said: "Boss, according to the head, one person deducts five yuan, we know the rules." It should be 200 yuan in total, and another 100 yuan for you to buy a small wine, just for us. You're a good person, you have us in your heart, and you know. Don't dislike it if you don't have enough money, don't dislike it. ”
Liu Chen wanted to think about it, looked at them with a sincere look, nodded and said, "Let's rest early, there are more tiring scenes to shoot tomorrow." ”
Liu Chen went downstairs to the store to buy something, carried a plastic bag and walked back, when he came back, he saw a group of people around the sound of non-stop drinking, only to see a person take a heavy kick, one stumbled, and fell to the ground.
Another person scolded: "Idiot! I was scolded by the director today, will you die if you step on you a few times? Jump your mom and jump, mom and b, I think you are a scumbag who owes a beating!"
Liu Chen walked in and saw that it was the producer Liang Sheng, and it was Xiaochun who was beaten, and the other group performers in the same group stood aside, trying to persuade them, but they were glared at by Liang Sheng, and they didn't dare to move.
That Liang Sheng screamed, covered his face and squatted on the ground and screamed, Liu Chen sneered, and shouted: "It's not enough to kill people, even if the group performance makes a mistake, you have also learned a lesson on the spot, and the money has been deducted, what do you want?"
The attendants were all dumbfounded, stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to their senses, shouting and shouting and rolling up their sleeves and about to come up, one of them hit Liu Chen with a stick.
Liu Chen burst into a shout, with a murderous expression, and couldn't help but look at each other, no one dared to come up again, and helped producer Liang Sheng to leave in a hurry.
Looking at the few people who were leaving in embarrassment, Liu Chen shook his head and didn't say anything, he understood the helplessness of these extras, and didn't dare to offend Liang Sheng.
Xiaochun listened to Liu Chen's words just now, and he was suspicious in his heart, it turned out that the leader took out the money and pasted it for himself, and he came out for himself, and fell to the ground with a pop, and tears overflowed with gratitude, and he was also a bloody iron man, and said: "Boss, Xiaochun's life will be yours in the future." ”
Liu Chen helped him up and said, "Go back to sleep early, we have to start work tomorrow." ”
Liu Chen returned to the dormitory, asked for boiling water to soak noodles, and ate them hot.
Another group leader said: "How can you offend the producer for a group performance who made a mistake, hurry up and buy something and take the initiative to apologize, maybe there is room for redemption, otherwise you will be miserable." ”
Liu Chen smiled and didn't say anything.
I didn't sleep for long, and the shouting underneath was all voices.
Producer Liang Sheng led several big men from the props group and art group to rush up, saying that he wanted to abolish the kid surnamed Liu.
Liu Chen jumped up from the bed and calmly walked out of the room alone.
When the gang saw Liu Chen coming over, they all belonged to the masters with big voices and small movements, and no one was willing to rush up first.
And then the lights of each house came on.
When the dozens of rural men brought by Liu Chen heard that they were coming to take the lead, they all stood behind Liu Chen one by one.
These crop men who have planted the land are as strong as the mountains, and they are usually used to being bullied, but once someone stands up for them, they immediately become amazingly powerful, and those miscellaneous people on the opposite side tremble.
These people didn't expect these extras to be so united, and they didn't dare to say the word "type" anymore.
Liang Sheng took a step forward and said to Liu Chen: "Boy, this matter is not over, the director said, you group, you will not be used to play tomorrow, get out, leave the base quickly." Otherwise......"
Liu Chen said calmly: "How else would you be?"
Director, not in Liu Chen's eyes, he explained to Cai Yun before he came, he didn't need to tell others, just quietly complete the task that Wang Lai started, otherwise I'm afraid the whole crew will have to revolve around Liu Chen, so how can I film?
The momentum couldn't scare Liu Chen at all, and there weren't enough people, so Liang Sheng was embarrassed for a while, then turned around and left.
Early the next morning, Liu Chen brought his own group of extras to the crew, but was told that he couldn't arrange this group performance, producer Liang Sheng looked at Liu Chen viciously, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Chen thought to himself that it was difficult for the crew to be yours alone, so he went directly to find the director Wu Jinyuan, the director came from Xiangjiang, smoked a big cigar and said without being salty: "You group of actors don't have to play in the future." ”
Before Liu Chen could explain, the director shouted: "Go out." ”
Liu Chen thought about it, and didn't think of a good way for a while, unless he showed his identity, but he didn't admit defeat, so he couldn't solve the problem of his subordinates as the leader of the group? When he came out, the director snorted and said, "Newcomers who don't understand the rules should get out of here as soon as possible." ”
When Liu Chen came out, producer Liang Sheng looked at Liu Chen sarcastically, look at the meaning that Lao Tzu won't let you go to work, it's useless for you to find anyone, Liu Chen then understood that these people are simply grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous and one is lost, no matter who causes trouble, you have to abide by the rules of the crew, otherwise you won't be played.
