Chapter 50: The crew assembles
The next Monday, Zhou Yi and Tang Yan got up very early, and after the whole family had breakfast together, the two siblings took their younger brother to school together, first sending their younger brother Tang Zhe to school, and then the two siblings went to their own school.
There is a direct bus connection, no need to call a taxi, it is also very convenient.
Zhou Yi gave Teng Tiangang all the change he carried, he had no money in his pocket, and he had to go to withdraw the money to have it, and he couldn't even afford to sit in a taxi, which was really tragic. Fortunately, the three brothers and sisters have recharged transportation cards and can take the bus, otherwise it would be even more tragic. Uncles and aunts all knew that Zhou Yi was rich, so naturally they would not give him pocket money. This matter was also teased by Tang Yan for a while.
Zhou Yi smiled helplessly.
On the way, Zhou Yi told his sister about going to the film and television city to film, and asked Tang Yan if she wanted to go and see it.
He would love to take his sister with him.
Tang Yan went to the studio last time, but she has never been to the film and television city!
Tang Yan thought about it for a while, but decided not to go.
Although it feels good to go out with her brother, she is not a student who likes to skip class, since she was a child, she has always followed the rules, and she will not run out like Zhou Yi in order to act. She was going to stay at school and review her homework.
In her opinion, going to the film and television city to watch filming is too time-consuming, and it is impossible to go back and forth often, which is too troublesome. What's more, there is no role for her in this play, and the accumulation of acting experience is not in this play, I went to watch it last time.
Anyway, there are many opportunities to go to the film and television city to film in the future, so there is no need to rush now.
My sister didn't go, Zhou Yi expected it, and didn't force it, just told a few words, and then asked her to report to the teacher.
I asked the teacher for leave last time, so this time I can just say it. If your roommate asks, let them know as well.
Tang Yan naturally agreed.
Zhou Yi sent Tang Yan to school, he didn't go to the classroom at all, and went directly to the company's studio, where he and the crew met. Before that, he went to the bank ATM near the school and withdrew a sum of money as a backup.
Then he hailed a taxi on the side of the street, and Zhou Yi went straight to his destination.
In the car, Zhou Yi made a call to Zhuo Qinglian to ask about the situation.
Zhuo Qinglian told him that Teng Tiangang had been properly settled, everything was fine, there was no sign of recurrence, and there were no problems in other aspects, and there was someone there to take care of him, so he could rest assured.
Zhou Yi asked Zhuo Qinglian to help Teng Tiangang apply for a bank account, and then advanced a sum of money from the company's account to him, so that he could spend it on a daily basis, and then buy him a mobile phone, which could be contacted at any time to avoid accidents.
Zhuo Qinglian had already prepared for these things, so she naturally agreed to come down, so that Zhou Yi didn't have to worry about it, she would handle it properly.
Zhou Yi also told Zhuo Qinglian about going to the film and television city to film.
Zhuo Qinglian, as the assistant to the chairman, naturally knew the arrangement of the company's crew in advance, but she currently has something to do, as a producer, she can't follow the crew to the film and television city, so she can only let the company's production manager follow.
Because it is a small crew, Zhuo Qinglian also has the errand of supervising the producer, and now she can't go, so this part of the work will be handed over to the director and the production manager, who are fully competent, after all, the crew is very small and there are not many things.
Zhou Yi didn't care about these trivial matters, but just asked Zhuo Qinglian to tell Teng Tiangang about his situation, so as not to worry him.
Zhuo Qinglian will do so, so that Zhou Yi can film with peace of mind, don't worry.
After contacting Zhuo Qinglian, Zhou Yi was relieved.
The taxi sped all the way to the location of the company's studio in Chaoyang District.
Zhou Yi paid to get out of the car and found the studio there.
It's still early, but there are already a lot of crew members gathered there. Some people are busy, doing transition work. This is their own job, and it has nothing to do with Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi just looks around.
The actors are not there, and the busy ones are all behind the scenes.
Director Zhao saw Zhou Yi and walked over to greet him: "The boss is here!" It's so punctual! β
Zhou Yi smiled: "I usually go to school at this time, it's not too early." But you have worked hard to start work so early? β
"Because I want to transfer to Huairou Film and Television City today, everyone starts work early, and strive to go early. There are even earlier! Like Manager Zheng, he also works as a production manager, Miss Zhuo can't come today, Manager Zheng has already led the truck team to transport equipment with several producers. They went first, we were the second team, and then followed. β
"I see, they've worked so hard."
Of course, Director Zhao has to help his colleagues show his merits, and at the same time introduce the situation and let the boss know.
For this shooting, the crew brought their own photographic equipment, after all, the company's things are easy to use, and they can also save a rental fee. As for the container trucks that transport equipment and equipment, they are all rented temporarily, and the company will not always have them, after all, they are not usually used, and the company does not engage in truck rental.
It costs a lot of money to rent, but overall it's a good deal.
It was originally a low-cost production, and the crew had to compress the cost to do so.
Zhou Yi naturally understands this truth.
If you rent shooting equipment in the film and television city, it will cost more than 1,000 a day for a relatively ordinary camera, and if it is a high-end camera, it will cost thousands a day.
Coupled with a variety of supporting equipment, the price is more expensive.
Things like lenses and tripods can cost hundreds a day.
Lighting equipment is also hundreds a day.
Counting the recording, slide, lift, Steadicam, rocker, Zeiss focus, director's monitor and other equipment, there are so many tricks, how much does it cost a day? Even if the number of days of shooting is not long, it adds up to a lot of money.
If it is a big investment or a big production, you don't have to care, and you should naturally pay attention to saving some of the small-cost production.
My own company has made these investments earlier, so it is natural to use our own things, otherwise it is not a waste of investment?
Although it also costs money to rent a truck, the cost is much lower comparatively.
Renting a truck to transport equipment costs only a few Chinese yuan per kilometer, and transporting equipment over is only a few tens of kilometers, and definitely not more than 100 kilometers, only a few hundred yuan, and renting ten cars costs only 5,000 yuan.
If it's cheap, renting for a day is about the same price, not much expensive.
How much is it in total?
Even if you want to transport equipment inside the studio, rent a small car, run a few times, and the distance is close, it won't cost much.
If the crew cuts the price again, it is estimated that it will be cheaper.
Overall, this saves a lot of money.
The work of these crews' expenditure budgets and specific shooting schedules should have been the work of the producer, but Zhuo Qinglian was not there, so Manager Zheng and Director Zhao were jointly responsible, they are all professionals, and they must strictly reduce costs and control expenditures.
As for saying that the company's money is not its own money, it can be spent casually, so why save so much?
For these professionals, there is certainly no such thought.
This is not only related to professional ethics, but also related to their own career, where can they be messed around?
Besides, Zhuo Qinglian is not stupid, what do you not understand?
Now the crew has Manager Zheng and Director Zhao at the helm, and these jobs have been done very well.
Zhou Yi was very glad that there were no corpse vegetarian people in the company, and the infighting was not serious, which saved him a lot of trouble.
In fact, there is no infighting in the company. If there was no infighting, how did the previous boss get caught? How did you get into the hospital? Is it true that the company is working together and making harmony? If that's the case, can the first few films be made like that?
It's just that the person responsible for these things has long been eliminated by Zhuo Qinglian.
Since there is infighting, there must be losers. The loser can only leave!
When you really finish acquiring the company, will Zhuo Qinglian not lay off one person? That's naΓ―ve.
The technical backbone with real skills will naturally not be laid off.
As for the leaders of certain positions, it can only be hehe.
Professional managers are not rare pandas, where can they not be found?
Could it be that all the investigations before her acquisition were done in vain? What secret can be concealed from the investigation of the military commander?
Zhuo Qinglian is a confidential secretary of the military command, and he has done a lot of ruthless things, but he is not a philanthropist. People who believe that she will make a smooth transition in the company can only be a joke. She is clearly a hot-handed iron-blooded empress!
Now that the black sheep have been eliminated from the company, then the rest will naturally be harmonious, even if everyone does not belong to the same faction, but there is not much contradiction in ordinary times, it will naturally not be shown, of course, it is more harmonious.
These people can be regarded as the victors of the infighting, or ******, nature and light are the same dust, hello, hello, hello, everyone.
Especially now that the company is in turmoil, we need everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties, how can we fight infighting at this time?
Whoever engages in infighting at this time will definitely be defeated by everyone.
Zhuo Qinglian will not let go of this kind of person.
Of course, as the company grows, there may be more infighting in the future.
But at least there isn't much infighting right now.
Therefore, the company's impression to Zhou Yi now is that the infighting is not serious.
Zhou Yi has always been steady, quite knowledgeable, and powerful, but his social experience is not as good as some old fritters after all, and some things I really didn't expect, but it doesn't matter. As the boss of the company, it is good to grasp the overall situation, not to mention that Zhuo Qinglian helps him deal with the company's affairs.
Besides, if there is really harmony within the company and there is no infighting, I'm afraid he, the boss, will not be able to sleep.
He would wonder if he would be deceived by the people below and something.
This is the same as being an emperor in ancient times.
However, these things are far away, at least Zhou Yi is very satisfied with the company's current situation.
In particular, he felt that the company's previous investment in fixed assets was indeed far-sighted.
Like these shooting equipment, the company is equipped with it, which is very convenient and does not need to be rented.
No wonder Zhuo Qinglian fell in love with this company in the first place.
With such a strong asset base, coupled with some excellent employees, how can it not be coveted? The former boss was dizzy, so he brought himself to collapse, which was completely suicidal, and no one else was to blame.
