Li Xiuping stayed at home for half a month, during which he completed the script of the first and second seasons of "In Case I Never Expected". On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Xiuping said goodbye to his relatives and rushed to HD, arrived in HD at noon on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, and in the afternoon he found a small building with a courtyard, the small building has a total of three floors, each floor has a living room and four rooms, each room has a bed, if you squeeze it, it should be no problem to live for 20 people, this small building is where Li Xiuping is ready to work and live for the crew of "In Case of Never Expected", Li Xiuping signed a rental contract with the landlord for half a year.

On the tenth day of the first year, Li Xiuping went to the HD Industrial and Commercial Bureau to provide information and apply for the registration of a film and television company called "New Dream", and then he also rented a small passenger car and recruited a driver, Li Xiuping told the driver that he would give him double the salary, but the driver not only had to drive, but also did logistics, such as buying water, food, cleaning and cleaning, etc., and the driver readily agreed.

Li Xiuping has limited funds, so he naturally wants to save money, he plans to use fifteen days to complete the live shooting of "In Case of Nothing", all the machinery and equipment for shooting, Li Xiuping plans to rent, and all the food and clothing of the staff can be saved, and the only high thing is the salary.

The crew of "In Case I Never Expected" currently only has two people, Li Xiuping and the driver, Li Xiuping's registered company has not yet passed, such a simple crew, there is nothing, and who is willing to come if the money is less, so Li Xiuping offered a salary higher than the average salary of HD Film and Television City.

Li Xiuping issued a recruitment announcement in the HD photographer group he joined, the lighting engineer group, the stylist group, and the set designer group, giving a salary of 10,000 yuan for half a month, and someone applied for the job two hours later, Li Xiuping is not very familiar with these technical jobs, so he did not ask too much, he decided to look at the resume to recruit people, who shoots more TV and movies, and a day later he selected four people to provide work contracts.

Before signing the contract with these four people, Li Xiuping made it clear that the photographer has no assistant, he will not find an assistant for the photographer, and the lighting and stylist and set designer also do not, and the stylist is not only responsible for designing the modeling, but also doing it himself, modeling the actors. The work of the set designer is even heavier, Li Xiuping asked the set designer to select the scenery, and the set designer is responsible for all the specific object placement, that is to say, the set designer has to do three types of work, namely the assistant director of the site, the set designer and the set worker.

There is no doubt that these four people came out to look for jobs before the Lantern Festival in the New Year, just because they were short of money, so although they were very unhappy, they still signed the contract.

In this way, there are seven people in the crew of "In Case I Didn't Expect", and the others, such as the field reporter mechanic and the action guide electrician, Li Xiuping decided not to recruit them all, and the scene note and action guide him did it himself, and the mechanic and electrician had a problem, so he called someone temporarily, Li Xiuping inquired about the price, usually 300 yuan at a time.

Even if the filming staff is recruited, Li Xiuping began to look for performers in the next few days, he doesn't plan to find group actors or special actors in HD, he wants to find the performers of "In Case I Didn't Expect" in his memory for 13 years, called Beast, Bai Yike, Liu Yixun Zimo, Xiao Ai, Goddess Kong and others, these performance lovers started their interpretation work before "In Case I Didn't Expect", but if there was no "In Case I Didn't Expect", I'm afraid most of the audience would not know them, Li Xiuping felt that "In Case I Didn't Expect" It's their blessing drama, Li Xiuping has already copied the idea of calling the beast, and he shouldn't deprive them of the right to perform.

Because he was deeply impressed by Wang Dazhui, Li Xiuping knew that Bai Yike was still studying at Nanguang College of Communication University at this time, so he easily found Bai Yike, Bai Yike's personality is not as sassy as Sledgehammer @ Bao, but his heart is still very eager to express his talent, so when he heard Li Xiuping say that he would be paid 2,000 yuan for half a month, Bai Yike agreed without hesitation, and introduced his good friend Xiaoai by the way.

Called the beast and Zimo have both directed and acted in micro-films, so Li Xiuping quickly found their contact information, these two are obviously not short of money, and have their own jobs. Li Xiuping said that he is also a movie lover, he is eager to make his own movies, he and the beast Zimo are the same kind of people, they will be the new force of Chinese film creation, and they should be united.

The sentence "You are a new force in Chinese film creation" touched both the beast and Zimo, both of whom felt that Li Xiuping had vision and was their confidant, so they agreed to perform without talking about salary.

In the end, it was the father Wang Xiaomeikong, the goddess, and Kodak who asked Li Xiuping to find it, but they finally found them.

Ten days later, Li Xiuping got the business license of the "New Dream" film and television company, and all the actors he was looking for were also there, but they were obviously a little disappointed.

In the hall on the first floor of the small building rented by Li Xiuping, the beast frowned and looked at the photography equipment, and then stepped forward and touched it, "It's a lot of dust." ”

Zimo nodded, "Well, I heard that it was leased, and I don't know if it can be used?"

"It should be okay, Suo Yini's, the quality is still guaranteed, if I can't shoot, I'll really go for nothing. ”

"I'm the same. ”

"Now I really regret it, did you find it, there are so few staff members in this crew, it seems that there are only four or five people, can such a small number of people shoot?"

"I don't know. ”

"Damn...... Hope that guy didn't lie to us. ”

Li Xiuping rented a room on the second floor of the small building, Bai Yike and Xiao Ai lived in the same room, Bai Yike threw himself on the bed, "Wow, I'm so excited, I'm going to shoot TV." ”

Xiao Ai shook her head, "It's a web series." ”

"It's the same, I'm going to perform anyway. ”

"It's a big difference, online dramas can't be on TV, and I heard that the director invested in it himself, and I haven't contacted the video website yet, and I don't know if it can be sold. ”

"Brother, what are you worried about, we will take the money to film, and the rest depends on luck. ”

"Hey, I'm still excited for a while, I thought I might be famous last night, and today I completely extinguished my star dream. ”

"Why is it gone?"

"Look at this small courtyard, when have you ever heard that the crew lives in a small courtyard, this is probably the most inferior crew in HD, can such a crew be popular?"

"Uh, it seems to be, I can't be popular if I say that, damn, I told my classmates that I'm going to break out this time. ”

"Dream on. ”

In the guest room on the third floor of the small building rented by Li Xiuping, his father and Goddess Kong were talking with their heads down, "Have you read the script?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"It's very interesting to hear the director, I don't know if it's bragging. ”

"It should be bragging, there are really good scripts that have been invested in a long time ago, and now the director is doing it himself, so he knows the quality of the script. ”

"Well, the director also asked me if I would do special effects, and I said yes, and he invited me to stay and do post-production after filming, and I decided to take a look first and talk about it after the shooting. ”

"Your idea is right, you look at the bald head and the thin man on the first floor, I don't know where to find the actor, it is said that he is still the leading actor, do you think anyone will watch such a starring role?"

"Who knows?"

……

HD Hotel, Li Xiuping invited all the crew, including the photographer, set designer, driver and actor named Beast Mo, after all the dishes were served, Li Xiuping picked up the cup, "Brothers, cheers for our new drama!"

"......" Everyone stood up and raised their glasses, but they didn't speak, obviously not in high spirits.

Li Xiuping naturally understood what these people thought, he smiled slightly, "Brothers, what we are going to shoot is an online drama, I promise that it will be popular, and we will shoot the second and third seasons in the future, and everyone will be popular." ”

The beast shook his head, "Dude, don't draw flatbread, don't worry, we'll cooperate with you." ”

Li Xiuping glanced at the others and saw that they were all eating with their heads bored, and he felt that it was necessary for him to mobilize their enthusiasm for work, so he decided to tell a lie, "Brothers, this drama is really going to be popular, Youyiku has already contacted me, and I will send them over after the filming is completed, as the main drama promotion this summer, so everyone rest assured, you will also be popular." “

"Sold to Youyiku?" Zimo asked.

"Well, it's almost signed, and the price depends on the finished product, but the director of operations of Youyiku likes this script very much, and he has promised me that it will be launched this summer, so this drama will definitely be popular. Otherwise, you think that I have nothing to do when I am full, spend money on collections, and why am I looking for you not to look for actors in HD, because you have qualities, you are new faces, and you are very in line with the requirements of the script, so I chose you for 1.3 billion people in the country, I am carefully selected, and you are all talented,"

Li Xiuping remembered that before the crossing, "In Case I Didn't Expect" was broadcast exclusively by Youyiku, so he made up that Youyiku would buy "In Case I Didn't Expect".

Bai Yike smiled, "Director, if you know me, I am very talented." ”

Li Xiuping smiled, "So, brothers, be confident, you will be hot, because you are unique." “

"Yay, cheers!" the crowd finally got interested.
