Chapter 28: All Things Go Well

In the new week, Zhou Yi lived and studied at school step by step, and the work of the crew was also smooth, so he didn't have to worry about it.

I heard that on Monday, the art props and set masters completely completed the interior decoration of the original old master's house.

That night, the scene of destruction began.

For this kind of small-cost film, the crew has always worked hard, and it is very fierce to grab time, so there is no need to drag it.

This situation is normal, after all, the leading actors of the crew are all paid low, and it is impossible to spend a lot of time on a small-budget film, so it is not cost-effective, so it is common to rush to shoot, which has nothing to do with professional ethics, it is completely driven by interests.

For example, Wu Yuanshen, who is at least a second-tier star, how can he follow the crew to shoot for a few months, and then only get a salary of hundreds of thousands, dreaming?

The crew's actor contracts are clearly stipulated that beyond the filming date, the crew will have to add money.

The agents of those actors were not given for nothing, and all kinds of details and terms were discussed very clearly.

For small-budget crews, they are naturally reluctant to overspend, and it is impossible to extend the filming date.

These truths are obvious, and Zhou Yi also understands some of them, so of course he will not object.

He doesn't think he has so much charm that he can let those actors serve him for free, and his friendship hasn't reached that point.

Even if there is a relationship, it is impossible to do that, after all, this involves the interests of all parties, not the actor's own business. People have signed brokerage companies, and the agents and assistants will not allow the actors to mess around on their own.

That's the rule in the circle.

Outsiders don't understand the situation, they may think that why is the crew in such a hurry? As for such a hurry? Can you guarantee the quality of the shooting?

This is just a layman's opinion, in fact, with the concerted efforts of the crew, there is no problem with the quality of shooting.

Director Zhao is experienced, Director Rong is old and strong, and with them, there will be no big mistakes in the film.

Of course, it is impossible to make a small-budget film into a blockbuster in the exquisite style.

Funds and manpower are not allowed, and it is simply impossible.

Zhou Yi would not ask for that, and there is no need to shoot this film like that.

Even if you make "Five Poisons" into "Wong Fei Hung", what's the point?

Now this level is already very good.

At present, the crew is united and working together to make the film well. Although the small outdoor scenes in the studio are still being arranged and have not yet been fully completed, the indoor scenes at night are being filmed without delay and without problems.

The centipede boss, the second spirit snake, the third scorpion, the original old master, and the little ghost Wanfa all have scenes to film.

All kinds of group performances have been found in advance and are already in place.

In fact, some behind-the-scenes members of the crew can act as group performers, which is very convenient and not a problem at all.

They have been mixing in the crew, and they also have some trick experience, and they can play some ordinary roles well.

Cheng Dakui came out of the martial arts group and was chosen.

As for the performances of the leading actors, there is no need to worry about it at all.

I heard that Cheng Dakui and Zheng Zilong performed very well, fully meeting the director's high standards, strict requirements, and quite a surprise.

Director Zhao was very satisfied with their performance.

It's a pity that Zhou Yi can't go to the scene to watch it for the time being.

There is no role for him at all on Monday, and he doesn't want to go to the theater at night, so there is no need to toss so much.

At present, he is still waiting for the completion of the small exterior scene, and then his role will be played.

The small outdoor scenery requires all the technicians of the crew and the hired art construction team to work continuously, but when it comes to construction problems, it is impossible to complete it in two nights and one day, and it takes a long time, which is understandable. But in any case, Tuesday will definitely be done.

After all, this is a set, not a real building, you don't need to build a house with a real wall, as long as it looks real on the surface.

Everyone's work efficiency is really high, and of course, the wages paid are also very high.

But compared with the actor's salary, this salary is nothing, and it is a price that can be paid.

Comparatively, if the filming date is delayed, the crew will pay a greater price.

Director Zhao has already received accurate news that he will definitely be able to finish filming the scene on Tuesday night, and when the small outdoor scene is arranged, the relevant night scenes can also be filmed together on Tuesday night, after all, there are not many scenes in this scene, and it won't take long.

Although the small exterior scenes are set up in the studio, with various lighting, it is no different from shooting outside.

What's more, you can add some special effects in the later stage, which can be completely fake.

With the cooperation of skilled gaffers and special effects artists, everything is not a problem.

However, some scenes will probably start filming on Tuesday afternoon.

After all, the daytime scenes must be filmed in advance, not in the order of the script.

It is estimated that the small outdoor scenery will be completed by Tuesday afternoon.

According to Director Zhao's work arrangement, on Tuesday afternoon, Zhou Yi will definitely ask the teacher for leave to go to filming and finish filming his post-mortem scene. Although it is only a few shots and a few lines, there must be in the play, and the past must not be ignored.

In any case, Zhou Yi has to be on the scene to shoot, and he can't use post-production special effects for everything, so he has to reduce the burden on the special effects artist.

If the time is delayed, the filming date will be extended, and the crew will have to increase expenses.

Zhou Yi definitely didn't want to postpone the filming, let alone trouble the crew and increase expenses, so he naturally promised Director Zhao that he would definitely ask for leave on Tuesday afternoon and go to the studio to film, and he was still very sure about this.

If he can't even take leave, he'll be in vain.

Besides, there are priorities, even if there is no leave, even if he skips class, he has to go to filming!

How much does it cost to waste a day?

Does the school dare not let him take the college entrance examination because of this incident?

As for some painless criticism, he doesn't care!

What's more, he has a good academic performance and is a top student, so he will naturally have preferential treatment and there will be no problems.

Doesn't the school want a movie star among its students? I guess I'd love it!

In that case, then no problem.

In his free time, Zhou Yi also asked about the screenwriter of the TV series. Zhuo Qinglian told him that the current screenwriting situation of "Eighteen-year-old Flower Season" is relatively smooth, but it cannot be completed in a few days, and it must be improved.

Zhou Yi understood this truth and didn't want to be shoddy, so he could only wait patiently.

The script problem has always been a big problem that cannot be ignored, the company's first few failures are vivid, Zhou Yi naturally does not want to make mistakes in the script, and would rather spend more time and wait for a while, and must let the screenwriters do a good job in the script.

He doesn't want to mess up the TV series starring his sister, so he must make it well-made and foolproof.

The screenwriters did not work in the studio, but in the Octavia Building, the company's headquarters.

It's a better environment, unlike the studio, which is always a bit noisy, so you can create with peace of mind.

However, Zhou Yi is usually very busy and does not have time to go over to supervise often.

Sister Zhuo will continue to follow up on the situation over there and report the news in a timely manner.

In addition, Zhou Yi's latest "Military Commander Secretary: Code 007" has been completed and handed over to the editor-in-chief of the German and American Literature and Art Publishing House.

The editor-in-chief is very happy, he almost came to urge the draft a few days ago, and now he finally got the draft of the latest "Chairman's Secret Envoy".

The preparations immediately began there, promising that it would be published on a large scale in the near future, and Zhou Yi didn't have to worry about it at all. With a military background, Zhou Yi will definitely be able to make a lot of money again. It is estimated that the deflated purse will soon be able to bulge again.

At present, the sales of Zhou Yi's series of military series have been rising steadily, breaking the sales records of all kinds of bestsellers on the sales lists of major chain bookstores, and it is deeply loved by the majority of popular readers, and its reputation is far and wide, and it has attracted a large number of loyal readers who like secret agent spy novels. Moreover, the major pirates were shy away from this series of military command books and did not dare to start.

A few pirates have been killed against the wind, and they have been uprooted and killed by the military commanders.

The bosses are all introspecting in the prison of the military commander!

They actually dared to touch the cheese of the military commander, it was really enjoyable, don't want it.

Fines and raids and imprisonment are the best results.

As for the charges, is it needed? Is it really needed?

The military commander is very reasonable in peacetime, but once you offend it, it is unreasonable, you can't blow it, you can't stretch it, and you can't take it with it!

If you really need a crime, does pirating a web novel count? Spreading illegal publications, does it count?

You can be played to death in any way!

In this case, Zhou Yi's series of military command books is naturally rampant and domineering, and the sales are not against the genius.

If there is no piracy, the sales of ordinary books will increase, let alone this kind of invincible anti-heaven god book!

Its soaring momentum is unstoppable.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows what this series of books is all about, and it has entered the sphere of influence of the military commander, forming a whole set of interest circles.

Who would really fight against the military commander if they have nothing to do?

This kind of intelligence organization is generally violent, and if you really want to kill you, don't be too easy.

Some agents do have a murder license, and although they can't be used casually, they are also very capable of bluffing.

Pirates with a big background have long known the inside story and will not really bother with the tiger whiskers of the military commanders.

If they do that, they will be tantamount to crossing the line, snatching the meat from the bowl of the military commander, causing the military commander to suffer losses, and perhaps triggering a high-level war between departments, which is definitely not the result they want to see, and this kind of responsibility is not something they can afford.

Isn't it a desire to die for a few pirated books to make a big deal?

Those who dare to do so are not long-sighted.

In the same way, the military commander will not touch the cheese of other departments casually, and everyone has a tacit understanding.

People who don't have this tacit understanding have been removed from power a long time ago.

Therefore, people who really have a big background know where the bottom line is.

What can be done and what cannot be done is very clear.

If you don't know this, it means that you have no background, and if you are killed, you will be killed, and no one will care about you.

Zhou Yi usually doesn't deliberately care about these things, anyway, with the military commander, everything can be handled well, don't bother.
