Chapter 356 The crew was blackmailed

The night is thick, Taiwan Island. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

A luxurious private villa is brightly lit and a lavish private cocktail party is being held.

Chen Qiaoen, who was dressed in a skirt and dress, sat by the window, declined the rich and handsome Gao Fu who came to invite him to dance for the nth time, holding a wine glass through the wide floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the dark night sky boringly.

Lin Zhiling, who was dressed in a white V-shaped evening dress, came back, smiled and nodded frequently to others to say hello.

But when she sat down next to Chen Qiaoen, her face showed a look of chagrin: "I'm so angry." ”

"Rejected?" Chen Qiaoen seemed to know the answer for a long time, and his tone was flat.

"Not to mention being rejected, that liar is so ungraceful. Do you know what he said? ”

"Too lazy to go?"

"Hey, you know him well...... It also means that you have been in contact with him for a long time. Taking a sip of champagne, Lin Zhiling whispered, "He said that it was cold and didn't want to move, and he thought the ticket was expensive." No one has ever rejected me for such absurd reasons! ”

"Giggles." Chan laughed, her first truly happy smile tonight.

"You're still laughing." Lin Zhiling threatened without lethality, "Originally, I thought about inviting him to my birthday banquet, seeing us together, what would I look like after knowing your true identity......"

Chen Qiaoen suddenly thought of something and interrupted Lin Zhiling's words: "Sister Zhiling, do you think he will know about my relationship with you a long time ago?" ”

"This, he shouldn't be that smart......" Thinking of Mai Xiaoyu's various routines, Lin Zhiling himself was not sure, "Oh, why do you want to do so much, do you know what it matters, you have left, do you still want to go back?" ”

Yes, if you leave, you can't go back, why do you always think about those things and people in the past?

Chen Qiaoen retracted his gaze and threw himself out of the floor-to-ceiling glass window again, the night sky was still so dark, like the boring life, and his eyes were glowing with a touch of sentimentality......

……

Mai Xiaoyu's mood also fluctuated, because the crew of "Fatal ID" was in trouble.

"Fatal ID" has been on for 20 days, and the whole process from crew preparation to start-up is very low-key. Most of the actors are mainly cute members, and there are a small number of professional actors like Feng Wei, who have not even mixed the sharp corners of Xiaohe in the past few years after their debut.

Feng Wei plays the male number one, the embodiment of the righteous personality of the eleven personalities, who used to be a policeman, and is now the driver and bodyguard of an outdated female star.

Shen Fei plays the role of the female number one, the young lady of the eleven personalities, the young lady who is bent on washing her hands and planting orange trees.

Gou Yunhao plays a fugitive who pretends to be a police officer, a personality mistaken for the "only evil" of the eleven personalities.

The personality of the out-of-fashion female star who was killed first was made a cameo by Wang Chuhan.

Wang Xun plays the role of a thug who pretends to be a hotel owner. likes money, accepts bribes from female stars, and steals money from female stars after her death.

Luo Xue and Brother Enchanting play newlyweds, one pretending to be pregnant and cheating on marriage, and the other fooling around.

Dong Xiaojuan plays the mother of the real "evil personality" and loves the "evil personality" very much.

Kong Lingpu, who plays the stepfather of the "evil personality", is a member of Shancheng, and in real life he is a stepfather, responsible but not strong enough, which is consistent with the image of the crew.

The character of the prisoner is played by Wang Bin, a member of Yanjing, a fitness coach who quit the crew of "I Believe" in order to participate in the National Bodybuilding Championships. Now I regret it to death, whenever I see reports about Deng Dynasty in the media, I can't help but want to hit the wall.

The lack of systematic performance skills of members is a shortcoming, but it is better than the large number of people. The crew can select those members whose occupation, identity, image, and personal experience are close to the characters in the play, so that they can understand and perform the characters' personalities.

Even the psychiatrist in the play is also a psychiatrist in reality...... That's right, it was Mai Xiaoyu who saw a psychiatrist twice a week, and he fooled him into making a free cameo.

The actor of "Evil Personality" is an eight-year-old boy from a single-parent family. His mother is a cute member, a young woman in her thirties, who runs a cosmetics agency in Yanjing.

Knowing that his son passed the audition, he was even more excited than he passed, and with a wave of his hand, he sponsored the crew for 300,000 yuan in the name of the company. All the actors in the play, regardless of gender, will receive a free set of cosmetics from their company.

You know, Yake Food only sponsored 500,000 yuan, and then gave away a batch of chewing gum, chocolate, toffee, jelly or something.

The biggest sponsor is Li Qiang of Sunshine Real Estate, in addition to 800,000 advertising sponsorships, he also built the only scene that the crew needed to use during filming for free - a small hotel.

There is a huge billboard of Sunshine Real Estate hanging on the hotel, which is the kind that can often be seen on provincial roads, national highways, and highways.

With this 1.6 million sponsorship, the filming budget of the "Fatal ID" crew is more relaxed.

It was hard work during the shooting.

According to the plot, because it was dark and rainy, there was a landslide in front of the national highway, and the bridge behind was broken, and these personalities were trapped in a hotel on the side of the national highway, and then a series of murders similar to murders in a locked room occurred.

But now it is the end of the year, the weather in Yanjing is cold in November and December, and the temperature in the Huairou Mountains is even lower.

"Fatal ID" is not only full of night scenes, but also has many rain scenes, which is quite offending when filming.

Fortunately, the domestic crew and actors have long adapted to off-season filming, and various coping methods have been derived. For example, when filming rain scenes, the actors wore a gel jacket with a base layer and wrapped in layers of plastic wrap......

Well, it works, but it's still cold. Even though the staff next to him had already prepared all kinds of warm equipment, Xiao Xiaoxing said "click" and immediately went over to help the actors warm up, but the actors were still cold enough.

Feng Wei is the leading actor, and the rain scene is also the most.

When filming the rain scene, the freezing was called sour, but he didn't complain a word, and gritted his teeth to hold on. Xi Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan couldn't bear to look at it, and nodded secretly at his professionalism.

Happiness in suffering is the common feeling of the crew.

Instead of complaining, the members found the feeling they had when filming "I Believe", and united to fight the "natural disaster".

However, the crew not only faced "natural disasters", but also "man-made disasters".

Entering December, the weather is getting colder and colder, and in order to finish the outdoor scenes before the first snow of winter, the filming schedule of the crew is very tight.

During the day, he rested in the hotel of Huairou Film and Television Base, and rushed to the filming location by car at night, shooting from more than seven o'clock to midnight, and had to find someone to remove the ice during the day the next day, so as not to affect the night shooting.

"Director Xu, our set has been smashed!"

That morning, Xiao Xing, who had slept for less than six hours, was woken up by a phone call, and the staff who had removed the ice in front of him called.

Unlike other crews with many scenes, "Deadly ID" only has a scene in the hotel. Hearing that the simple hotel that had been built was smashed, Xiao Xing immediately jumped up and led people over.

"Fork a fork, let me know who did it, x kill him!"

Zhang Xiaoquan was very angry and scolded along the way, but after arriving at the place, the other party scolded more fiercely than him.

"Grass and mud horses, who let you film here!"

"I don't know the rules!"

"Fuck off. This time I only smashed things, and next time I will fight people together! ”

"You dare to scold, Lao Tzu will kill you!"

There were only four people on the other side, like local villagers, each with a machete, and a double-barreled shotgun in the leader's hand, and a military coat could not contain the ruffian.

Get off the horse!

Seeing this situation, Zhang Xiaoquan calmed down.

Eight-year-old photographer, he is very clear about the truth of the poor mountains and bad waters, and the purpose of these people.

Let the staff rest first, Zhang Xiaoquan and Xi Xiaoxing went over to negotiate with each other.

At the beginning of filming here, the crew reported to the local public security, transportation, village committee, township government and other relevant departments that should be reported, and said hello when they should be greeted, and all kinds of procedures were complete. Looking at the four people on the other side, it is not from the government department.

Sure enough, as soon as the two sides negotiated, the true purpose of the other party was revealed - to give money!

You can just come to film, and build a house casually, which will seriously affect our feng shui!

Do you know Feng Shui, we have several farmhouses here, and now the business has faded out, and Du Nima has closed down because you have destroyed Feng Shui!

I warn you to tear down this mess at once, restore it, and compensate us for the damage.

What, you said that your crew hasn't finished filming yet, so you can't dismantle it?

Okay, you can continue to shoot, 500,000 compensation, try one less point!

Xiao Xing and Zhang Xiaoquan were furious.

Bullshit feng shui, winter is originally the off-season for farmhouses. This is pure blackmail, and it is the legendary blackmail crew!

When he first saw the other party's posture, Zhang Xiaoquan guessed it.

When he was an old assistant in photography for eight years, he worked with many crews, and there were not a few people who were blackmailed for filming and framing in other places.

Back then, he once went to a farmhouse in the south with a crew to film.

At the beginning of the communication, the farmers were very enthusiastic and agreed very happily, saying that they would give 35,000 when the time came.

The crew felt that everyone was very easy to talk to, and they did not sign a contract but only reached a verbal agreement.

Then the crew decorated the farmhouse beautifully and began to shoot. When the filming was over, the farmer turned his face, and he asked for 150,000 yuan when he opened his mouth, and the reason was also "sufficient".

During the filming, when the lighting crew of the crew was lighting on the tile house, they broke a few tiles; When the crew ate a boxed lunch, they ate their food; And what are the service fees, escort fees, lost work fees, and a lot of miscellaneous things.

150,000 yuan, enough to demolish and rebuild that house, even the village committee and the villagers of the same village are absolutely excessive, but so what?

Why is it easy for poor mountains and bad waters to get out of the people, because if there is one, a big summoning technique can summon dozens of relatives and friends of seven aunts and eight aunts!

Dozens of people deducted the crew's equipment, don't think about leaving without 150,000, the police are in vain!

Say they blackmail, let the police arrest people?

Dozens of big people, can you catch one?

Who's to blame for making up a group event?

There are also a bunch of old men and old women, what should I do if there are three long and two short!

In the end, the township, village, and police station all sent people to the scene, and after several hours of painstaking mediation, the crew paid more than 90,000 yuan to settle the matter.

With previous experience, during the filming of "Deadly ID", Zhang Xiaoquan specially chose a place far away from the village, just for fear of encountering "Diao Min". Who would have wanted to shoot smoothly for more than 20 days, and "Diao Min" came to the door with a knife.

Zhang Xiaoquan and Xi Xiaoxing originally wanted to spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy peace.

The eldest brother was blackmailed during filming; The Hollywood crew went to Xiangjiang for filming, and they were beaten for refusing to blackmail foreign directors; It doesn't matter if they spend tens of thousands.

But the other party opened his mouth 500,000 ...... the production budget of "Fatal ID" was only 3 million!

Call the police.

Almost an hour later, the tattered police van came swaying; Officials from the local village committee also arrived on motorbikes full of mud spots, but the matter was not resolved.

The police said, this is a civil dispute, settle it yourself, don't waste the precious and tense police force in the countryside. Then the broken bread staggered away.

The cadres of the village committee could not solve the problem. Before Yu Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan invited their village committee to drink a few meals, before leaving, he revealed a little wind and suggested that the crew break the fortune and eliminate the disaster.

These four "Diao people" are not local villagers.

A few years ago, someone rented land in the village and set up a farmhouse, and a group of people came one after another, including these four "Diao Min".

This guy is not a good bird, and he has made the farmhouse a lot of customers. Secretly slaughtering doesn't work and directly extorts money, dares to resist and beats half to death, and the police can't recruit when they come, because there are people in their bureau.

Fortunately, this group of people has eyes and knows that rural people have many relatives and friends, and there is not too much oil and water, so they basically do not provoke the villagers.

On the contrary, the villagers saw that they had made a fortune, and many villagers who were engaged in farmhouses took the initiative to learn from them and build relationships with them, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling together, which made the village a miasma, and they had nothing to do about it.

Speaking of which, it's pretty obvious.

There was no business at the farmhouse in the winter, and the gang hit the crew of "Fatal ID" with the idea, wanting to make a windfall.

If the crew is more serious and calls the police to make things bigger, it is difficult to say what the result will be, and it will definitely delay the filming process. The delay of eating horses and chewing is money every day, and the loss of ten days and half a month of delay is more than Nima's extortion, so the crew generally chooses to spend more money.

The group at the farmhouse obviously understands this middle way, but unfortunately the crew of "Fatal ID" is not an ordinary crew.

"You guys are eating dry food, why don't you beat those four grandsons!"

This is the first sentence of Mai Xiaoyu's reply after receiving a call from Yu Xiaoxing and hearing what happened.

"We are worried that things will make a big fuss, delay the filming of the crew, and have a bad impact on the crew."

"Worry about. The more scared you are, the more arrogant they become! ”

"But they have knives in their hands, and they are all machetes."

"The machete is a ball, you ask Gou Yunhao, has he ever seen a machete when he was mixed before!"

In the evening of the same day, he sent Shu Chang to his uncle and aunt's house, drove straight to Huairou by himself, and came to the hotel where the crew stayed.

The crew didn't start work tonight, and the blackmail had spread among the crew, and everyone was indignant and expressed their opinions.

The young man has been in the industry for a short time, and the blood and qi Fang Gang insisted on calling the police and not bowing to the evil forces; Lao Cheng is used to seeing this kind of thing, and knows that it is useless to call the police, so it is recommended to find someone to mediate to lower the price code, solve it as soon as possible, and resume work as soon as possible; There are also some soy sauce parties, which are indifferent to themselves.

After Mai Xiaoyu appeared, Xiao Xiaoxing, Zhang Xiaoquan, and the cute employees and members found the backbone and immediately surrounded it.

"Mr. Mai, you're here!"

"Mr. Mai, what do you say?"

"Those hooligans are too much!"

"If you can't agree to their conditions, that's 500,000!"

Feng Wei also suggested: "Mr. Mai, I suggest calling the police and letting the police deal with it." ”

Mai Xiaoyu patted Feng Wei on the shoulder, didn't say anything, and walked straight to Gou Yunhao: "Brother dog, follow me to those guys tomorrow." (To be continued.) )
