Chapter 201 Scene 201 Returnee Little Hades
Lao Jiangtou's team leaders used to look down on Xu Zhen and other Koreans, but now they have become much more respectful when they look at them.
In fact, how did they know that Xu Zhen and Cui Dongxun were also bitter, where had they done such meticulous preparations before, but they didn't expect to receive such a hard job on their first business trip, Li Xiaole is sometimes a pervert, a small-scale investment in movies, in full accordance with Hollywood's logistical requirements, and I don't know where he got so many design drawings, some of which were made in South Korea, and some of which were simply done in China, let them get off the plane and get them.
Twenty minutes later, the props unloaded all the props from the truck, and then spread them out according to the requirements for each character, everyone was stunned by the sight......
About 20 square meters of the floor covered with newspapers were piled up, with various props of all sizes, from costumes to old-fashioned watches, to utility repair tools, and even a few clay Buddha statues......
"Total ...... 6,789 items, counted completely. Mazi of the props group, sweating profusely, counted all the props and reported the number of zuihou, and the scene was immediately silent.
Everyone was shocked, what is a profession, today can be regarded as an eye-opener...... The people present were all insiders, and these things were not found randomly, and any of the old jackets in it were all produced in 1990, apparently carefully selected for the role.
Lao Jiangtou looked at these props, and the admiration in his heart arose, he had been in the industry for decades, and he had never seen this kind of scene, and the preparation work could be done to this extent, which was not only done with heart, but also at the level, proving that the director had a complete picture in his mind before the movie was made, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
When Ning Hao arranged the members of the props team and classified the props he was responsible for one by one, Lao Jiangtou had already begun to regret that he said "I want Koreans to give him a hand", this face is a shame in front of foreign friends today, at the level of others, his own gang is really only worthy of fighting.
"The crew will ask for a translator, and Director Xu is responsible for the props, do you have any comments?" Li Xiaole squinted his eyes and asked, looking at Lao Jiangtou and them, he knew that the effect he wanted to create had been achieved.
When filming "Thai Embarrassment", Xu Zheng prepared for two and a half years, before the start of filming, in order to let the crew members put into work, he understood that the movie he participated in was a masterpiece, and before the filming meeting, he spread out the props that had been prepared for half a year, which shocked everyone.
And he has logged in to the screenwriter's republic before, many of whom are prop masters from the mainland who went to the United States to develop, and the memory of the times they left is exactly the style of "Crazy Stone" in the 80s, these people designed their own prop list according to their own requirements, coupled with Xu Zhen's skillful hands, it has created today's effect.
The so-called foreign monks are good at chanting, it is not unreasonable, and the impact of foreign counterparts on these old fritters is much greater than that of Chinese faces.
A minimum of respect is often the first step in communication.
"This ...... Not quite right? Several team leaders were bored, not very happy, and looked at Lao Jiangtou.
"Let's do it." Lao Jiangtou waved his hand and asked the others to be silent, only then he looked at Li Xiaole deeply and muttered: "It's no problem for them to be the head, but the director, your work must be complete, and if you do your job well, we will have no opinion." ”
As soon as he said this, whether it was Sun Honglei or Sun Li, all the actors couldn't help but show disgusted expressions, filming with the studio is like this, these people are blatantly asking for money from the budget, and they don't feel any shame at all, which makes the actors a little incomprehensible.
"Well, I understand the rules, there are 800,000 on this table, you can take it and share it yourself." Li Xiaole didn't raise his eyelids, and said calmly, just seeing that Lao Jiangtou's eyes were shining, he stretched out his hand and slapped the pile of red RMB into his arms, but Li Xiaole stretched out his hand again and slapped it down and pressed his hand.
"What do you mean?" Lao Jiangtou puffed out a pair of old eyes, glared at Li Xiaole angrily, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that Li Xiaole's white and tender little palm was amazingly powerful, like iron tongs, and he couldn't even move.
"Lao Jiangtou, I respect you as an old-timer in the industry, you can take this money, but I want to talk about the ugly things first." Li Xiaole looked at him with calm eyes and smiled.
"Say it." Lao Jiangtou felt that his hand was pressed very uncomfortable, but he didn't want to show weakness to a junior, so he gritted his teeth desperately and endured, while trying to pull his hand back with all the strength of his whole body.
"First of all, I want to say that this money is not in the group's budget, it is my private subsidy, and I will spend 100% of the budget money on filming and production."
Everyone was stunned when they heard Li Xiaole's words, but before they could react, Li Xiaole continued:
"Although 800,000 yuan is not a lot of money, but everything must have an explanation, since it is given to you above board, I will write it down in black and white, and there is a basis."
"How can that work?" "Why do you have to sign something, it's not in order!?"
Several team leaders immediately looked at Lao Jiangtou angrily, but Lao Jiangtou couldn't say it now, he only felt that the bones in his palm were about to be broken by Li Xiaole, his face was pale, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.
"You...... What do you want? ”
"It's simple." Li Xiaole nodded to Ning Hao, and watched Ning Hao take out a document from his bag and hand it to the leaders of various departments to circulate.
"This is a transfer contract, the group company has regulations, when the box office is more than 20 million, the employees involved in the filming have 10,000 red envelopes, today these money is even if I advance the red envelopes to you in advance, you signed this welfare transfer contract, take the money steadily, you don't have to bear any responsibility." Li Xiaole looked around at each team leader with his eyes and paused:
"But if you don't want to transfer it, then I'm sorry, I'll help you collect the money first, shoot the movie and box office, and then give you benefits, think about it carefully, you can only choose one of the two."
As soon as he said this, Lao Jiangtou's gang began to hesitate, according to the rules of the industry, the filming of 5 million grade dramas, the whole set of filming crews, large and small, calculated an average of 8000 rebates per person, if the box office of this movie is not enough 20 million, then Li Xiaole will save them a lot of risks by doing this, after all, although everyone is doing the black budget, it is really not necessary that no one will pursue it in the future.
But the question is whether "Crazy Stone" will exceed the 20 million box office? Everyone thought about it in their hearts, and they all looked at the person next to them, and the information in everyone's eyes was the same, which was absolutely impossible......
However, people have a speculative psychology in their hearts, if there is such a small possibility, "Crazy Stone" really passed 20 million, didn't they lose money? Li Xiaole earns 2000 for each of them? Then they want to sign this transfer contract, and it would be good for them to collect money privately according to the previous rules, if "Crazy Stone" goes to the box office of 20 million, can't they get double money?
Everyone looked at Lao Jiangtou in unison, only to see that Lao Jiangtou's face was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and his face was as white as paper, and he seemed to struggle in pain, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll sign." ”
As soon as he said this, Li Xiaole let go of his palm with a smile, and Lao Jiangtou finally relieved his breath, stood up tremblingly, walked over to several team leaders, and took the transfer contract.
"Jiangtou...... Do we really want to sign it? Why bother~ We will lose if we don't sign. "Yes, signing this is equivalent to receiving his money, and if you take someone short, you won't have to listen to him honestly in the future." Several team leaders came over and whispered to Lao Jiangtou to discuss.
"You know what a fart...... Lao Jiangtou signed his name, and said in a low voice with a calm face:
"Don't you see? This Director Li called these Koreans to come to make it clear to us that he has his own people, and if we don't do it, he will definitely be able to find other crews, how long have you guys not started work? Even if you want to gamble on it, think about your colleagues. ”
Lao Jiangtou said in a low tone and looked at the colleagues behind him: "Is it easy for us to enter the crew now?" How many projects does the group only open throughout the year, is the old Wu family child in your group still lending money to his child to make up for college tuition? And Xiao Wang of your group, isn't he going to get married, and he will pay the bride price? ”
Indeed, this Director Xiao Li is clearly threatening everyone, but others have strength, and you can't accept the threat.
"Alas...... Jiang Tou is right, sign it, how can this broken movie be over 20 million, Jiang Wen is still so ...... possibility to shoot it" The leader of the national character face of the lighting group took the lead in nodding, picked up the transfer agreement and signed his name on Party B, and the team leaders came over one by one helplessly and signed the transfer contract.
Seeing these people compromise, Li Xiaole's heart was also steady, he was not a formal employee of China Film, just a temporary worker, Yan Fusheng wanted to rectify him very easily, if he sent part of the funds in the budget to these people according to what Han Sanpin said, then after the guarantee was not complete, Yan Fusheng would grab a handle and bite himself, saying that he used the filming funds to build his own small group, and he had seen all these methods.
After all the team leaders signed, Lao Jiangtou came over and slowly reached over to grab the money on the table, this time he learned to be smart, staring at Li Xiaole while pulling the banknotes, for fear that Li Xiaole's little iron palm would be slapped on the table again......
After counting the numbers, Lao Jiangtou only let the team leader distribute half of it, and pushed the remaining 400,000 back to Li Xiaole.
"Take it all, you can take care of the money." Li Xiaole shrugged his shoulders indifferently, he knew the rules, but he didn't want to bother with the money.
"Don't, rules are rules." Lao Jiangtou snorted in a hoarse voice and waved his hand: "First half, then send the other half after shooting, if you send it to them, the team's heart will be scattered, and they will only listen to me when the money is in my hands, and they all respect me, it won't work if you speak, and you will let me take advantage of the money, there is no reason for this." ”
"Makes sense." Li Xiaole didn't expect this, but he was impressed by this old Jiangtou who looked like a fritter, it seems that although there are many shady scenes inside the film, but a set of rules is still established, as long as the basic interests are protected, the people below are still honest.
Although Lao Jiangtou said beautifully at the moment, he was extremely depressed in his heart, before he came, he thought about fiddling and applauding Director Xiao Li, a hairy boy, but he didn't expect to let the family give him a disadvantage on the first day.
Looking at Li Xiaole's indifferent appearance, touching the back of his hand that was still aching, Lao Jiangtou cursed in his heart, which bastard said that this little director was a stupid returnee who was stunned!? I can't help but mutter, how dark is this Korean film and television industry? can cultivate such a little Hades......
