Chapter 19: A Wonderful Flower
After determining the preliminary plan, Tang Feng and Hunter studied the general details and some points to pay attention to.
Generally speaking, this plan is still very feasible, on the surface, it seems that Tang Feng has given up most of the options, but in fact, he can get more benefits from it, not to mention that he still has the decision power of the hero and heroine in his hands, which is enough for him.
And the benefits of being able to hold such a large-scale audition covering the entire block are obvious, at least he can use a relatively low price to enrich his grass platform team that has not yet taken shape.
There is nothing to worry about whether the selected people are professional or not, those who have the ability will be formal actors, and those who are not capable enough will be assistants or group performers, and those who can't use it can also write down the contact information as a talent reserve.
Although the script of "The Killer's Tragedy" has been adapted by him, the story structure still retains the simple and clear mode of the original work, but the plot is much fuller, especially several street scenes that have been determined to be filmed, which require a large number of group actors and staff.
As for this part of the cost, he doesn't have to worry too much, in order to make this plan have a happy ending, Hunter has promised to bear part of the cost, and will also ask the police department's exclusive lawyer to apply for a more generous welfare policy for the crew.
What can be determined now is that you can apply for a large amount of special fund, and whether you can be exempted from consumption tax depends on Hunt's strength.
The funds spent by the crew in the filming process are also subject to a high percentage of consumption tax, and once this part of the tax is exempted, a lot of money will be saved.
Most states in country M have different excise taxes, among which the basic excise tax in California is 7.5%, and the excise tax in Los Angeles is generally 9%, which is almost the highest!
Come to think of it, Wilton's side alone could cost more than 3 million!
In other words, with such a policy, he can save at least $270,000, which is equivalent to saving a villa-style apartment with a private yard in the eastern block!
To Tang Feng's great luck, thanks to his help from Hunter, otherwise these good things would definitely not be his turn.
When Tang Feng returned home, the family had already gathered around the table for dinner, and Mary immediately greeted him when he came back: "Sean, come here, we thought you would eat outside, so we didn't wait for you." ”
Standing up with her, there was also a young man with a baby face, and Svenwen looked very cute.
"Hey, you're Shaun, I'm Charlie's cousin, you can call me Ken, Ken Griffin. I'm from New York. ”
As he spoke, the young man smiled at Tang Feng who came over and stretched out his right hand.
Tang Feng shook his hand, and then also introduced himself: "Hello, Ken, I'm Sean Taylor Tang. Angela's brother, Charlie's brother. ”
Listening to his introduction, Ken smiled brightly, "I've heard Charlie and Angela say, I heard that you are making a movie? ”
Tang Feng had a good impression of Ken, although he was already feeling a little tired, but he still readily agreed: "Okay, let's sleep in the garage together that night, no way, the room above is too small, if we all squeeze there, I'm afraid someone will have to sleep on the floor." ”
Seeing that they were chatting happily, William and Mary were very happy, just now they were a little worried that their nephew was too out-of-tant, and it was not easy to get along with someone with a more stable temperament like Tang Feng, but now it seems that it is completely different from what they imagined.
William couldn't help but sigh: "Seeing your appearance, I really feel that we are old." Don't stand still, come and eat. ”
At first, Tang Feng didn't feel anything abnormal, but after a while, he realized that something was wrong. Charlie's little cousin would always peek at him from time to time, and only after he found out did he immediately turn his face away, and then pretend that nothing had happened.
And that expression seemed to be very interested in him, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: "The painting style seems to be a little wrong, this kid doesn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, he shouldn't have any bad habits, right?"
"If that's the case, I have to stay away from him, Lao Tzu's orientation is normal, don't be bent before I find my wife......"
However, often the more you are afraid of something, the more something will come.
After dinner, Ken couldn't wait to say, "Sean, let's go to your garage and have a look, just in time to talk about your movie." ”
Tang Feng didn't want to refuse, so he wanted to drag Charlie with him, but he was impatient when he thought about Charlie, "You guys can sleep in the garage, I'll go upstairs to sleep." ”
"What's going on? Is he really ......?"
Just as he was hesitating, Mary spoke: "Sean, it seems that Ken likes you very much, so you don't have to help me clean up." Go ahead, let's talk to him more. ”
Tang Feng suddenly felt the cold wind blowing in his back, and his legs were weak and he almost tripped over the chair next to him, "Isn't it?
"Please, my dearest Mary, why are you pushing me into the fire pit when you know he's a G?"
Just as he was very reluctant to move behind Ken to the garage, William stabbed him in the back again: "You two go to bed early, pay attention to moderation, don't be too happy." ”
What's even more tragic is that even Angela, who has always been sticking to him, came over to assist, "Brother, you should hurry up, don't worry about me, I'm going to watch a soap opera with Aunt Mary." ”
At this time, Tang Feng was completely dead, and suddenly felt abandoned by the whole world, "Even if you open up again, you have to ask me if you agree first, right?"
And so, with grief and indignation, he and Ken came to the garage. Ken seemed very interested in everything, and while visiting the garage furnishings with great interest, he said kindly, "You know Sean, I've only just arrived, and I've heard them mention your name countless times. ”
"William said that you are a capable, mature and stable person, Mary said that you are a sensible and kind young man, Angela said that you are a big hero in his heart, and even Charlie is full of praise for you!"
"We're not a few years old, but I've never met a person other than you who has been praised like this. ”
"So, although I haven't met you yet, I've developed a strong interest in you......"
Tang Feng really can't listen to it anymore, is he going to confess now?
"Stop!"
"Don't say any more!"
"Whatever your hobbies are, that's your freedom. I don't want to comment on whether it's good or bad or not, but please don't think anything strange about me, I'm an absolute, absolutely normal man!"
Hearing his words, Ken's expression was a little strange, but then he said softly: "I, I am absolutely sincere!"
"Oh my God!"
Just this sentence, he almost didn't scare Tang Feng a lot, in order not to be misunderstood, he said in a serious tone: "Listen up! I'm a normal man, so please don't bother me!"
After saying that, he fell into his bed and said angrily: "Don't come near me, or you will regret it, I swear!"
"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death!"
"I said, brother, you're too funny, aren't you? You don't think I'm a G, do you?"
"I'm wondering, how do you see it, tell me, it's so fun, haha. ”
Probably seeing that he was really angry, Ken switched back to a normal male voice, hugged his stomach and laughed, and then walked to his bedside and looked at him intently.
Tang Feng's face was confused, "You're not?"
Ken waved his hand and replied, "Of course not, I'm an absolute, absolutely normal man, okay?"
Seeing that he actually turned back on what he had just said, Tang Feng turned his face flat: "Then what are you doing peeking at me at the dinner table?"
Ken: "I'm curious, like I said, it's always been people who praise me, and this is the first time I've met someone like you." ”
"You can kill a five-meter-long crocodile with your bare hands, you can write a beautiful script, and you can make a great short film in a short time!"
"Oh my God, you're four years younger than me, but you seem to be omnipotent! Is there really anyone like Doctor Almighty in this world? Is it true that Charlie said you were brainwashed by aliens?"
"What do aliens look like? Like on pay radio, with big heads, thin necks, and one eye that can take up half of a face?"
Tang Feng knew that he had misunderstood from the beginning, but he really couldn't resist it, daring to love this kid was an arrogant paranoia, and he was also a deep talker!
No wonder even Charlie doesn't want to be with him, and William and Mary and even Angela are so happy to see him entangled with her!
To deal with such people, we must treat them in the same way as others!
Okay, aren't you a talker, don't you like to get to the bottom of it? Lao Tzu will cure your stinky problem today!
So he kept asking a lot of questions one after another, "What are you doing in Los Angeles when you're not a New Yorker in New York?"
"You look quite arrogant, so what capital do you have to be arrogant?"
"You said you have no problem, how can you learn to be so similar to a female voice, your hobbies are quite extensive, are you born or learned?"
"What is the problem, you can't say it, can you? Then you can tell me specifically, what you can do, what can you do, and what are the proud achievements?"
"Okay, give you a night to face the wall and reflect, I don't have time to take care of you 22-year-old kid!"
Seeing that Ken was so red in the face that he said that he couldn't say a word, Tang Feng smiled secretly in his heart: "Small, dare to fight with me, then let you taste my power!"
But before he could be complacent for a moment, he heard Ken say in a serious tone: "Okay, I admit that I went a little too far, and I apologize to you for this." ”
"But!"
"Even if you can do anything, you have no right to deny my excellence, arrogant boy, you listen to me!"
