On the morning of the erection day, Zheng Wenya rushed into the office.

"Ah Cheng, the budget on the crew's side is not enough, I hope you will approve another amount of funds."

Now the main person in charge of the crew is Zhang Jianting, just now he called to inform Zheng Wenya of this incident, and Zheng Wenya walked in to report after listening to the phone.

"Not enough money?" Hearing this news, Ye Jingcheng instantly became impatient.

Originally, Zhang Jianting's work efficiency was poor, and in the past few days since he left, the affairs of the crew were actually due to a problem with a role, which directly caused the crew to be unable to start up for a long time.

Now that the matter has not been resolved, he has begun to reach out to him again to ask for a budget. You must know that when Ye Jingcheng left, he had already handed over two million to him for operation. Combined with the sponsorship money received some time ago, the funds included in the budget are at least three million.

Now that the crew has not officially started filming, this Zhang Jianting has come to him to ask for money, and you can imagine the next derived expenses. It seems that he can't do it without interfering in the drama, but he wants to ask the other party how the money is spent.

"Ah Cheng, you take a look at this first." Zheng Wenya handed over a financial statement.

Ye Jingcheng took it and took a cursory look at it, this report is written about all the expenses of the crew. Most of the expenses are relatively normal, except for the actors' salaries, with a budget of up to 2.27 million.

In this movie, there are only five or six roles that are more important. Among them, the highest salary is Hong Jinbao, but his salary has been handed over before, so it is not included in this budget.

Next, Hu Yinmeng, Ren Dahua, Zheng Fangshi, the salary of these three people is only about 100,000 yuan, and He Jiajin, Di Wei, Qian Xiaohao, etc., their cameo salary is only a few thousand yuan each.

Coupled with dozens of people who play tricks and go through the motions, the cost is no more than 1 million, how can Zhang Jianting come up with a budget of more than 2 million? Even if he wanted to be greedy for money, he wouldn't use such a stupid method.

Faced with Ye Jingcheng's question, Zheng Wenya replied: "I have asked this question, it seems that there is an English boxing champion in this movie, so Zhang Jianting specially asked people to run over there." ”

“what！”

Ye Jingcheng's horizontal flesh shook far-fetchedly, what about your mother's teasing him? He, the leading actor, doesn't charge money and sticks it upside down. Zhang Jianting actually went to England to find a boxing champion for a boxing champion in the movie? Is this brain filled with grass or pig manure?

"Where is that street boy now?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

Zhang Jianting is obviously unable to take on the big responsibility now, and Ye Jingcheng has decided to meddle in the affairs of the crew, or change to a relatively suitable person in charge.

"It should be in the Ye Family Martial Arts Hall, and the scene is being arranged over there."

Because the venue of the Ye Family Martial Arts Hall is spacious enough, the advantages are utilized. Many scenes in the movie are set there, such as the room where Ip Man and Hong Zhennan competed, and the scene of the fight against the boxing king tornado.

Ye Jingcheng nodded to indicate that he knew, had a wet kiss with Zheng Wenya, and then picked up the car keys and left the company.

However, before going to the Ye Jiawu Pavilion, Ye Jingcheng drove to Repulse Bay and the Mid-Levels area, and took a few turns in places where foreigners come and go.

Huangtian lived up to his wishes, and after going around for more than half an hour, he finally let him find a goal. It was a group of white-skinned players who had just finished playing rugby and were about to go home.

Ye Jingcheng honked the horn twice, deliberately attracting the attention of the group. Then he poked his head out of the window, pointed to the stout one of them, and said in slightly broken English, "Hey, man." Want to have a part-time job that is easy and earns money? ”

The white-skinned athlete stopped playing, and the man who was being pointed at came over and first looked at the body. Then he said, "My name is Jimmy, and I think you're calling me." To be precise, I need a job like this. ”

"Get in the car." Ye Jingcheng opened the car door, beckoned to Jimmy, and said, "I guarantee that your decision is correct." ”

The reason why Ye Jingcheng stopped him was very simple, because this Jimmy was very similar to the original version of the King of Fighters Tornado. Of course, it is to look at each other with the eyes of our Chinese people.

It's like the Chinese in the eyes of Westerners, they will think that we all look the same. Actually, it's not, but it's enough to reach this point, Ye Jingcheng needs this kind of stand-in, to play the role of a good boxing king tornado, in fact, as long as he has a good body.

After a little hesitation, Jimmy said goodbye to his friend and got into Ye Jingcheng's car.

After getting in the car, he also gave a warning, saying, "I hope you didn't lie to me, or Jimmy's fist would have landed on your head, and that wouldn't be a bad feeling, buddy." ”

……

Ye Jingcheng walked into the set that was being arranged, and the crew greeted him when they saw him. Ye Jingcheng nodded in response, and began to look for Zhang Jianting's figure.

After a while, Ye Jingcheng's attention shifted to the corner, where there were two groups of people standing, one was his behind-the-scenes host, and Zhang Jianting was in the ranks. There are several black and white ghosts, one of whom is exceptionally sturdy.

It seems that the two sides are engaged in a series of discussions and bargaining because of some issues.

"Zhang Jianting." Ye Jingcheng's call immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Ye Sheng, you came just in time." Zhang Jianting walked up in three or two steps, pointed to the sturdy guy, and said: "That is the English boxing champion I found, but his price is too high, I said 1.2 million and he said no, it must be 1.5 million." ”

"Is there something wrong with your head?" Ye Jingcheng didn't give the other party a good face, and sprayed directly.

"You took a total of three million budgets from me, and now you plan to embezzle half of them for the so-called English champion? I think I'll have time to listen to you explain and see how exactly you planned. ”

Take 1.5 million to invite a ghost, and you can't even call it a supporting role. Ye Jingcheng really wanted to ask Zhang Jianting, is he the protagonist or the other party now?

"Ahh Zhang Jianting felt that this time he was scolded for no reason. When he reacted, he explained: "Ye Sheng, the problem is ...... the boxing champion in your movie."

"Do you still know that it's the boxing champion in the movie?" Ye Jingcheng poked the other party's heart with his finger, and said aggressively: "You have to remember that the tornado in the play is the boxing champion, it doesn't mean that the ghost guy who plays him also has to be the boxing king." ”

"I just thought it would be more perfect." Zhang Jianting lowered his head, his eyes flickering a little.

"Perfect?" Ye Jingcheng snorted, and then beckoned to Jimmy. Jimmy, who had been looking around not far away, immediately walked up after receiving the signal.

Ye Jingcheng pointed at Jimmy and said, "I spent half an hour looking for this person, and then it took two minutes to convince him." Now do you think it's appropriate for him to play the boxing champion, or is it appropriate for the real boxing champion to play the true colors? ”

The English boxing champion that Zhang Jianting invited is a lightweight fighter at best. And Jimmy, who was excavated by Ye Jingcheng, is already a super heavyweight in terms of size alone.

The tornado in the movie must give the audience a sense of oppressive immediacy. The character of Ip Man must make people feel that he has no chance of winning in front of the other party, which Jimmy can fully satisfy.

On the other hand, the English boxing champion is half a head shorter than Ye Jingcheng, his body is strong but not burly enough, and the confrontation between the two gives the audience a sense of immediacy that completely puts the cart before the horse. It's better for the other party to play Ip Man, and Ye Jingcheng to play Tornado.

"Hey, you two—" The interpreter brought by English walked up, interrupting the awkward coldness between the two. Said: "Lloyd. Mr. Honeygan is very busy, and if you can't make up your mind, please be angry that we don't have time to accompany you. ”

Ye Jingcheng turned his head, gave him a vicious look, and said, "Tell him to eat. Excrement. ”

"You!" The translator turned around and asked Zhang Jianting, "Zhang, can this person speak on your behalf?" If that's the case, then don't think I'll say nice things for you. ”

Zhang Jianting was silent and just nodded. He suddenly felt that this incident was not because he was not doing badly, but because of other reasons.

He felt that Ye Jingcheng was deliberately making things difficult now, probably because he confessed to Zheng Wenya last time, and then this matter reached Ye Jingcheng's ears, and now the other party is looking for small shoes for him to wear.

As everyone knows, Ye Jingcheng didn't know about this matter at all, on the one hand, Zheng Wenya thought that this matter was very meaningless, and there was no need to talk to Ye Jingcheng at all. On the other hand, Ye Jingcheng's attention during this period of time was completely focused on futures trading, and he simply did not have this spare time to listen.

"Zhang, I'm very disappointed with your incompetence." The translator left this sentence and left angrily with the boxer.

"Not convinced?" Seeing Zhang Jianting's subconsciously clenched fists, Ye Jingcheng suddenly felt that he had let this group of people go too loose. Whether it is a screenwriter or an actor, he has not learned much about his skills, but his temper has been going up.

Ye Jingcheng patted Jimmy's strong arm and asked, "Jimmy, tell me." How much do you need? is willing to play the role of a boxing champion. ”

"Are you asking me to make a movie?" Jimmy patted his forehead and said in disbelief, "Oh, MyGod!" Am I going to be a star? Dude, I take back what I said to you when I got in the car just now, and I'm willing to help you even if you don't give you money. ”

"Hear? I haven't seen you earn the money for me. But you made a useless decision, and I had to pay twice the cost. I don't think you have figured out the responsibilities of the director yet, so you should study for a while before taking on this heavy responsibility. ”

Ignoring Zhang Jianting, whose face changed in various ways, Ye Jingcheng shouted to Ye Jiaban not far away: "Li Ying, you will take over the affairs of the crew." ”

Ye Jingcheng decided the life and death of the other party with a word, Li Ying was already a producer a few years earlier than these hairy boys, and he was far better than the other party in every aspect. If Ye Jingcheng had snare him early in the morning, there would have been nothing to do with Zhang Jianting at all.
