A week later, Chongqing Waste Brick and Tile Factory.

Executive producer Fang Guorong is a college student of the class of 78, classmates with Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, wearing a tunic and meticulous hair behind his head, holding a small notebook to record data all day long, noting down what he thinks is important at any time, and always carrying Ben Nan Huaijin's "Analects of Distinction" in the bag, which looks quite Confucian style.

But as soon as he arrived at the shooting site of the brick factory in the morning, he saw that the group of babbling people were gathering and chatting, very free and casual, so he judged that the situation was not good, and came to Li Xiaole's side to remind him.

"Director Li, I'm afraid these people are very difficult to manage......"

"It's not easy to manage, as long as he eats and, he can manage it." Li Xiaole, who was sitting on the bench and was counting how many people had arrived in the crew, made a joke about Fang Guorong.

"Director Li is not familiar with the situation, you remember to grasp the key people, you see the old Jiangtou inside, is the famous thorn in the factory, in the 80s, every time the dormitory has a power outage, he takes the lead in organizing people to block the street, which is extremely difficult to manage."

Li Xiaole followed his gaze and saw a group of people gathered around the crew, sitting in the middle of the bald man in his fifties, with a wrinkled face, slightly hunchbacked, a little like Liu Luoguo in the TV series, just watching him smoking a cigarette and silently holding the crew's list to check, it seems that he is the leader of this group of people.

In other words, it will be easy to deal with him, Li Xiaole said secretly in his heart.

Today is the first time the crew has gathered, it is a familiar process for the big guys to be together, and it is also a process of exploring each other, these people are all veteran employees of China Film, many of them have followed Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and other big directors, so they are not very eye-catching for newcomer directors like Li Xiaole and Ning Hao.

The actors of the crew, whether it is Sun Li or Sun Honglei, Huang Bo also saw this, Wang Baoqiang came over and kindly reminded Li Xiaole: "Director, did you give them that little bit." As he spoke, he made a gesture of counting the bills with two fingers.

"What do you mean~" Li Xiaole glared at him and teased him in Chongqing dialect, this stupid boy also understands this?

"Money~ Big brother, why don't you even understand this~ The crew is the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes need to be dotted~" Wang Baoqiang's honest face showed a look of helplessness.

"Okay~Listen to you~" Li Xiaole smiled, took a briefcase out from under the table, spread out the table, and stacks of red RMB banknotes were spread out on the table in front of him...... That's too blatant, isn't it?

The members of the crew who worked in China Film saw the money on the table from a distance, and their eyes lit up, but they were embarrassed to stare at it, just pretending to chat, and whispering to discuss it with the corner of their eyes.

"It's strange, this little director is very good...... Now know to get the money out. ”

"You're still thanking him? Someone must have given him ideas, I see that he is very tender, this time maybe he can get more, I heard that the budget is 5 million, I think he wants to hack at least 1 million, this is just a little money to us. ”

"Let Lao Jiangtou talk to him...... Anyway, we can't afford to lose. ”

Just when everyone's hearts were tickled by the money, Li Xiaole didn't call everyone for a meeting, but kept looking at the watch.

Sun Li couldn't look at it, took the initiative to walk up to him, and said in a very small voice: "Director Li, let's start quickly, if you don't start, those people are probably in a hurry, you put the meat in front of the hungry dog and don't give it to them, the dog will bite if it's in a hurry." ”

"How can you curse?" Li Xiaole pretended to look at her with contempt: "Could it be that in your heart, these old artists are all dogs?" ”

"I didn't mean that! Metaphor, metaphor is just ......" Sun Li's pretty face turned red, in vain she was still worried about this guy, why didn't Li Xiaole care at all?

"It should be almost there." Li Xiaole calmly looked at his watch and looked at the door.

Just when everyone in the factory was a little impetuous and anxious, I suddenly saw a group of 7 or 8 men walking into the door, led by a toothy man carrying a briefcase, followed by men some carrying cameras, some carrying light racks, and a few carrying a few large bags.

Everyone looked at the things in their hands, and their eyes couldn't help but widen, and they shouted softly:

"Eh, did you see that the man was carrying an Aleflex 535 camera~?"

"yes, really...... There are such haode machines in it, we don't have them in the factory, I have only seen the photos...... Zhang Yimou, who heard about the new picture, used this one to shoot "Hero". ”

"I'm not dazzled...... Is that one holding a Steadicam photographic stabilizer? ”

"You see that person moves, the posture of holding the camera, at least 20 years of experience."

Everyone was surprised, and they felt strange that this group of people saw Jiashi as an experienced veteran in the industry, and this circle was not big, why didn't they know anyone?

"Here, thank you, sit next to me." Li Xiaole stepped forward to greet Xu Zhen and them one by one in Korean.

"Hug ...... Sorry, director, we're late. Xu Zhen touched his black face and glared at Cui Dongxun with some embarrassment: "It's all ...... It's all his fault, he can't even look at a map. ”

"If you have the ability, you can come, someone who can't even speak English is still talking a fart." Cui Dongxun snorted unconvinced with his teeth, and put a heavy prop box on the table.

Li Xiaole didn't talk much to these two living treasures anymore, and turned his head to the photographer Lao Xu and the gaffer Xu Songguan nodded and said hello: "You guys have also worked hard, let's sit down first." Then he glanced at Ning Hao, Ning Hao hurriedly raised his hands and clapped his hands and shouted:

"It's a meeting~ It's a meeting~ all sit down, and the leaders of each group are sitting here."

In this abandoned brick factory, more than 100 people gathered over, and on the table in the middle, the leaders of each group all gathered in front of the table but did not sit down, it was obvious that the group of people in China Film were waiting for the 50-year-old old Jiangtou who was wearing the work clothes of the old Beijing Film Studio, hunched and bald, to come over, and only waited for the wrinkled and yellow-eyed old Jiangtou to sit down, and several team leaders sat down.

"Director, can you introduce these brothers?" That old Jiangtou looked unfazed, and pointed at Xu Zhen's gang with his finger, it's not that the crew of China Film can't ask people outside for help, but Li Xiaole didn't say hello in advance, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Well, it's just a few friends who came to help, I met when I was filming in Korea, this is the photographer Lao Li of Tiancheng Company, Choi Dongxun, the director of KBS, Xu Zhen, the art director of SHOWBOX, and Xu Songguan, the lighting engineer of SBS, ......"

Li Xiaole raised his hand lightly and introduced them one by one, Xu Zhen and they didn't understand what he was saying, they just smiled and greeted these Chinese colleagues, but they muttered in their hearts, Director Li mentioned SBS, what did SHOWBO do?

A group of old employees of China Film asked each other: "What company is Tiancheng?" What Brooks? "Lao Ma, don't you know, Tiancheng and SHOWBOX are the top three big companies in South Korea, I heard that they are quite good." "KBS seems to be South Korea's CCTV, which is not a small ......."

Lao Jiangtou and several team leaders had cloudy faces, what does this mean? Is this Director Li trying to demonstrate or something, these people are not small in their careers, but they can't compare to those of them who eat and wait for death, if this Director Li uses all the Korean team, wouldn't he be able to completely throw them away?

Several team leaders couldn't help but shrink a little in their hearts, but Lao Jiang seemed to have seen a little of the world, and said quietly: "The Korean side is not bad, not much worse than the level of our mainland side, and it's not bad to give us a hand." ”

Li Xiaole knew at a glance that this old Jiangtou was an old fritter, and it was not so simple to shock him, so he just smiled: "It's all a crew, the work must cooperate with each other, and there is no need to divide the priorities, let's assign the work of the props team first." After speaking, he glanced at Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen immediately understood what he meant, and called Cui Dongxu to go out and unload the props in the car outside, Lao Jiangtou looked behind him and snorted: "Props group, what are you still doing in a daze, don't go to help~"

The talent of the props group followed unwillingly, beckoning more than a dozen people to go out, constantly carrying bags of things from the outside, until five minutes after moving, Lao Jiangtou felt that something was wrong, and strangely grabbed a props team worker: "Mazi, how many are there outside?" ”

"It's only a fifth...... "Asako smiled bitterly.

"You can't get rid of your love to blow." Lao Jiangtou snorted angrily, pushing him to continue working, everyone laughed, and they all had an idea in their hearts, the props of a crew are generally added with costume accessories, as well as background props, the size is about 500 pieces, even if the preparation is good, some scenes in China Film even have to bring their own costumes when filming starts, how many movies can this investment of only 5 million be there?

But when Lao Jiangtou, these knowledgeable people, observed carefully, and found that the props team kept carrying large and small parcel boxes here one by one, and each box had a number, the character's name, and the logo of the first scene, which made Lao Jiangtou's heart shock.

Just one prop, the Koreans have done such a precise arrangement, this level of detail is really amazing, you must know that in general mainland movies, in addition to the costumes of the characters, many props are rented from ready-made service Huadao rental companies, what characters use what things, are universal, and few crews work hard to customize.

But the way Koreans number these packages is obviously tailored to different roles, what a huge amount of work......
