Chapter 23 Tight budgets

Lu Yan, who was preparing for the next scene, didn't know Teng Wenyi's temporary decision, and he never had the luxury of expecting the crew to add scenes to himself, adding scenes does not mean that it is enough to draw a few more scripts and add a few lines, all of this has to be linked to money, and adding scenes means increasing the budget for filming.

That night, Lu Yan was called to his room by Teng Wenyi, and screenwriter Zhang Yongshen was also there.

"Director, Mr. Zhang"

Teng Wenyi saw Lu Yan coming in, took off his glasses, pointed to the sofa on one side, and said, "Xiao Lu is here, sit."

Teng Wenyi's room is much more spacious than Lu Yan's, with one bedroom and one living room, and there are a lot of equipment that may be used for filming in the corner.

Zhang Yongshen bowed his head and said: "You're welcome."

He was thin and had the air of a traditional literati, and most of the time he was quiet, and his hair was messy, as if he hadn't washed it for half a month.

Lu Yan had almost no contact with Zhang Yongshen before, and he didn't know him too deeply, but looking at Teng Wenyi's attitude towards him on weekdays, he should also be the number one person in the industry.

Teng Wenyi smiled and asked, "How is it, are you still used to it these days?"

"It's all good"

"Well, if there is any difficulty, bring it up, and if the crew can solve it, it will be solved"

Lu Yan smiled: "Thank you, director."

Teng Wenyi waved his hand and said, "I discussed it with Lao Zhang, considering the arrangement of the play and the positioning of Li Tianmin, I am ready to add some burden to you, there is no problem, right?"

Lu Yan thought that he had misheard, his face was filled with a look of unconfidence, he stretched out his finger and pointed to his nose, and looked at the two people in front of him in surprise: "Me"?

It's not that he's not confident, but this kind of thing sounds too fantastical, in the crew, a lot of people who are more qualified and famous than him, Feng Yuanzheng, Hou Yong, Zhao Liang and others, should add drama to these old drama bones.

Zhang Yongshen smiled and asked, "Aren't you still happy?"

Lu Yan hurriedly said: "No, no, I just think it's incredible."

Zhang Yongshen did not say anything about adding drama, but said: "You should be confident, young people are modest is a virtue, but you can't lose the arrogance that you should have at this age."

In China, the status of most screenwriters is not particularly high, and as for those screenwriters who dominate the crew, only a few only stand at the top of the pyramid.

Teng Wenyi handed him a few pieces of A4 paper and said, "This is some preliminary thoughts of me and Lao Zhang, you take it back and take a good look, don't have any other concerns, I only have one request for you, act well."

Lu Yan took it, pursed his lips and said, "Thank you director, thank you Teacher Zhang, I will definitely live up to the expectations of the director and Teacher Zhang."

Teng Wenyi smiled and said: "I'm relieved to have your words, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Zhang Yongshen looked at the time: "Hurry up and go back, there is a scene that will be filmed tomorrow, you should take a look first."

"Hmm"

Back in the room, looking at the four pieces of A4 paper in his hand, Lu Yan was a little in a trance, he had heard of temporary drama before, but it was all a first-line treatment.

"Anyway, it's not a bad thing anyway" Thinking so, Lu Yan took out the script and compared it with the few pieces of paper he had just gotten.

In a room not far from Lu Yan, Li Yapeng was looking at the phone with a bored face: "Mr. Ruan, that's the way it is, now the whole crew has spread it all over, I hope the crew can give me an explanation."

After waiting for a while, the expression on his face looked a little better, and said, "Well, this matter is troublesome to President Ruan."

...

The next day, as soon as Lu Yan came to the crew, Wu Qiang greeted with a smile: "Xiao Lu, it seems that you are in a good mood today."

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and the smile on Lu Yan's face is not deliberately hidden: "It's nothing, by the way, Brother Wu has nothing to do, anyway, I'm idle now."

Wu Qiang waved his hand and said, "Don't be, you better hurry up and read the script", he has been notified that Lu Yan is playing.

has been in this industry for so many years, Wu Qiang has his own way of doing things, he doesn't deliberately stammer, and newcomers don't look down on him, if people really make friends with him, he is not vain.

This industry is full of a lot of incredible, the most important thing in the entertainment industry is to become famous overnight, maybe an unknown newcomer today will wake up tomorrow as a hot star, in turn, the popularity and no one cares, just a blink of an eye.

"That's good" Lu Yan glanced at it, found that the scene was almost set up, and walked into the dressing room.

When he changed his clothes and came out after putting on his makeup, he found that many people in the crew were secretly talking about something, walked up to Liu Tao, and asked, "Come on, what's going on, it feels weird"?

Liu Tao said "um" and said, "I just arrived, but it's actually nothing, well, she just got out of Li Yapeng's car."

Lu Yan followed her gaze and found that she was referring to Huang Yi, blinked, but did not speak, Huang Yi and Li Yapeng have indeed been a little close in the past two days, and even a little ambiguous.

"Aren't you curious"? Seeing that Lu Yan had no expression, Liu Tao was a little surprised and asked rhetorically.

Lu Yan said without the slightest hesitation: "What's so strange about this, the man is unmarried and the woman is not married, besides, getting out of the same car can't prove anything, and good friends can't say."

"How can there be true friendship between men and women"? Liu Tao's words scorched Lu Yanlei's exterior and tenderness.

He said with a sneer: "Who did you hear about it, according to your meaning, there is a problem between the two of us"?

Liu Tao obviously couldn't accept Lu Yan's point of view, and retorted: "Can it be the same, they all have objects, no matter what, they should always take into account some influence."

Lu Yan didn't know what to say, in this kind of matter, the two have different values, no matter how much effort they try, they may not be able to make each other agree with their own views, and finally have to say: "Maybe it's just ordinary friends."

Liu Tao opened his mouth, probably realizing that it was impossible to persuade Lu Yan and no longer defended.

The filming continued, but when it was noon, Lu Yan was called to the temporary office by the assistant director, most of the equipment and props were piled up in the room, a table was placed in the corner, and Teng Wenyi was sitting next to him with his head down and smoking.

The door was not closed, Lu Yan reached out and knocked twice on the door frame, and asked, "Director, you called me"?

Teng Wenyi raised his head, there was not much expression on his face, and his voice was not authentic: "Sit."

"Wang Pengju came to me just now and said that the crew's budget is tight," he said calmly looking at a corner of the room, but Lu Yan always felt helpless and resentful under the calm.

Wang Pengju is the producer of the crew and the representative of the investor, Lu Yan did not speak, he knew that Teng Wenyi must have something to say.

Teng Wenyi raised his eyelids and glanced at the young man in front of him: "So, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to add drama."

Lu Yan crossed his hands, his two thumbs touched again and again, and after a few seconds, he said, "I can give up my salary."

He knows it's not about money, but he can't give up such an opportunity, for most people, it's lucky to be able to play the second male just after they started filming, but he is not one of the most people.

Now it's not like ever, with the rise of the mainland entertainment industry in recent years, there may be dramas submitted for review and released every day, not all the second male can be concerned, and even too many male number one have been buried, this is an opportunity, he doesn't want to give up, giving up the salary, is the greatest sincerity he can show on the surface, in other aspects, he is also powerless.
