Chapter 752 - Good acting
After filming like this for more than ten days, Xu Changqin became more and more anxious, and sometimes he would lose his temper after a single day.
Rong Rong has known Xu Changqin for a short time, but she has always felt that he still has a good temper and is very polite to people. Only later did I learn that the budget was almost spent.
Just like she thought, half a million can't support the completion of a movie. Rong Rong has been filming for more than ten days, and she likes this crew very much, the people in this crew are very friendly, and everyone is very focused on making this movie. She thought about it, then found Xu Changqin and said, "Director, my salary can be avoided!" β
Xu Changqin was very surprised, but since they got along during this time, he also felt that Rong Rong was a very good girl.
"I don't have the money to pay you now." Xu Changqin smiled bitterly.
So what to do? Can't this drama be filmed?
She thought so, but Xu Changqin was still struggling, and the atmosphere of the crew was a little tense, but everyone was still doing what they should do.
Rong Rong is also filming very seriously, but everyone is ready to go back at any time if they can't continue filming tomorrow.
Who knew that two days later, the crew suddenly sent a batch of props over, and this batch of props was much better than the previous ones.
A small van came over and brought everyone a steaming KFC meal, which was bought directly from the county seat, and the director was treated.
Since they came to the village to film, they have eaten dry noodles and pastries from the village every day, and it is a great happiness to suddenly be able to eat KFC.
"We actually got the first investment, and Dexun Pictures injected two million into my drama!" During the meal, Xu Changqin announced to everyone.
This is great news, when Xu Changqin is doing a good job and may have to drop halfway, these two million are equivalent to sending carbon in the snow, such as a sweet spring injection, Xu Changqin is also relieved.
"Can we change some good equipment, and the daily food has also improved a little." Someone said so.
"No problem!" Xu Changqin's eyes were red after speaking, and he received a call from Crimeun Pictures, saying that Ding Kangtai Ding always read the script and thought it was very good, so he decided to invest two million in him. As soon as the phone ended, the intention was basically reached on the phone, and within an hour, Kexun's two million arrived, which was really life-saving money
For this drama, he has been running around for more than a year, he started the film in a hurry, not only has to film every day, but also has to calculate the accounts of one book after another, how to finish filming within the budget.
Rong Rong was also happy to hear it, she felt everyone's seriousness, and hoped that the filming of this drama could be completed smoothly, and when she heard Xu Changqin chatting with the assistant director, she also chatted with Ding Kangtai, so she paid attention to it with her ear and asked, "Is it us who invested in Ding?" β
"Isn't it?" Xu Changqin said, "I almost didn't have hope, the last time Mr. Ding went to Hengdian, I met Mr. Ding from afar with Director Feng's light and left a script." Even Director Feng's movie Mr. Ding didn't give money, I thought there was no hope at all. β
"Director Xu, your script is good, Mr. Ding is sure that investment is a kind of affirmation." Rong Rong said very seriously.
"Thank you, Rong Rong." In Xu Changqin's opinion, it is not easy for such a young girl as Rong Rong to follow them to film at the foot of the mountain, without saying bitterness or complaining, and completing every scene very seriously.
This girl, who is serious about filming, can suffer losses, and she is very optimistic if she doesn't complain. Xu Changqin has been rolling in this circle for more than ten years, and he has watched a lot of celebrities come and go. Like Rong Rong, as long as she is given a chance, she will definitely be popular.
It's just that his own drama, firstly, is a suspense film, and it is very niche, and secondly, the follow-up publicity has not landed, and the chance of being popular is very small, and he is also a personal feeling when he shoots this scene, and he never thought that he would have great achievements.
This scene was filmed for nearly two months, and it was already July when I returned to Hengdian. Xu Changqin's salary to Rong Rong was 5, which surprised Rong Rong: "Director, didn't you say 20,000 yuan at the beginning?" And you're on a limited budget. β
"With Mr. Ding's investment, there should be no problem. It stands to reason that I should give you more, you have a heavy role, and you work so hard. It's just that it still has to be edited in the later stage, and it has to be reviewed, etc., Rong Rong, if this movie is released finally, I promise to give you a 1% box office dividend, you deserve it. β
"No, I've been paid." Rong Rong said.
"I have such a commitment to the backbone of the actors and crew of this play, and you helped me in my most difficult time, I am afraid that you will disappoint everyone." Xu Chang sighed.
"No, director, I'm sure your film will work." Rong Rong said very seriously.
"You're also praising yourself, Rong Rong." Xu Changqin said with a smile.
Rong Rong took another scene, still a group performance, playing the role of a palace maid.
After filming that day, Xu Changqin called her.
"Rong Rong, how about having dinner together in the evening?"
"What's the matter, Director." Rong Rong asked.
"The owner of the investor happens to be in Hengdian, I am fortunate to make an appointment, and I want you to accompany me to have a meal with the other party." Xu Changqin said.
Investor bosses? Isn't that Mr. Ding? Rong Rong's heart was beating like thunder, and she wondered whether to agree for a while.
"Rong Rong, this is an opportunity, I heard that Kexun Pictures has been signing artists, if you can sign it, you can get professional training, and you have an agent to take you, you don't have to work as hard as you do now." Xu Changqin said.
"Me, okay?" Rong Rong was not very hopeful.
"When you're here, you know it's okay." Xu Changqin said the address and time, and asked her to show up on time.
Thinking of wanting to see President Ding Kangtai, Rong Rong's heart beat a little faster, and Xu Changqin came to pick her up at night, obviously Xu Changqin was also very excited.
"I didn't expect Ding to always be available to see me, it's really surprising." Xu Changqin said.
Rong Rong took out her only decent skirt, put on a simple makeup, pressed her sudden heartbeat, and said, "Director, Mr. Ding must have taken a fancy to your talent." β
Xu Changqin just smiled, there is no shortage of talented people in the film industry now, he is not a naΓ―ve person, he thinks he can reach the sky in one step. No matter what, it is also an opportunity to meet Ding Kangtai.
When they arrived at the agreed club, when they arrived at the private room that Ding Kangtai had ordered, he had not yet arrived.
Ding Kangtai's assistant Chen Songren came over and said, "Director Xu, Mr. Ding met a friend in the front bakery, go sit there for a while and come over, please wait a while." β
"Okay. "In this club, the people who entertain are all big bosses, and it is normal for Ding Kangtai to meet acquaintances.
They waited less than ten minutes before Ding Kangtai came in.
Ding Kangtai wore a plaid shirt and dark suit pants, with one hand slightly in his pocket, and came in with a slight smile, handsome and compelling.
"Mr. Ding." Xu Changqin and Rong Rong stood up at the same time.
Ding Kangtai was a little surprised when he saw Rong Rong, he was very impressed by this girl, mainly because of her beautiful eyes.
"Mr. Ding, hello." Rong Rong was also busy greeting.
"We've seen it." Ding Kangtai nodded slightly, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, I just met a friend and chatted a few words." β
"Mr. Ding is too polite, we just came." Xu Changqin hurriedly said, "Mr. Ding knows Rong Rong? β
"Well, I've met once, and after a while, Miss Rong will go to play ball together?" In addition to Rong Rong's eyes, Ding Kangtai was most impressed by her billiards skills.
