Cheng Xiaodong was so encouraged by Lin Xi that his brain was hot and he agreed to come down, but after joining the crew, he found that he seemed to have been trapped.

Half of the crew of "Chu Liuxiang" was brought in by Chen Jiaxiang, who cooperated with Lin Xi to make commercials before, and half of it was borrowed directly from Li's side.

But to say that the crew has no money, Lin Xikai's salary to Cheng Xiaodong and the rest of the crew is not low, and he also spent a lot of money to customize a batch of costumes, which look very different from the costumes used in martial arts dramas at present.

Because the actor hasn't put these clothes out yet, Cheng Xiaodong can't comment on the quality of this matter for the time being, but from Chen Jiaxiang, who served as the assistant director, he got a message that made him feel a little at ease.

At the beginning, I heard that this inconspicuous assistant director met Lin Xi when he was working on a commercial, Cheng Xiaodong still looked down on each other in his heart, although it is easy to make money in commercials, but there is usually no technical content, whether it is a person who makes a movie or a TV, there are some people who can't look down on making commercials, and generally those who can't get along in the first two circles, so they will choose to shoot commercials.

But after a deep chat with Chen Jiaxiang, I found that the other party's understanding of making movies was no less than my own, and even some of the ways were clearer than my own, which aroused Cheng Xiaodong's curiosity.

Under his repeated questioning, Chen Jiaxiang told the story that he had offended people before and couldn't get along in the film industry.

After all, this is not a glorious thing, and of course Chen Jiaxiang will not take it out and publicize it as soon as they meet.

After Cheng Xiaodong learned about this, his impression of the crew of "Chu Liuxiang" suddenly changed greatly.

Although the crew looks simple, I heard Chen Jiaxiang say that these people knew him before when he was filming movies, and they are very familiar with the movie shooting set, and most of them have a special crew, but they are free at hand during this time, and this trip is considered a private job.

In other words, no matter how good or bad this TV series is, the names of these people will not appear on the list of people who made it.

When Cheng Xiaodong heard this, he secretly said in his heart that he was lucky, he knew this before the TV series started filming, if he still looked at these people with the original attitude, he would definitely suffer a loss later, and he would have to be laughed at.

On the other hand, Cheng Xiaodong also put away his previous contempt, he knew that Lin Xi had gathered such a group of movie-making people to make a TV series, and the plan must be not small, and even the idea that he thought he could easily handle the action design of the TV series became a little uncertain at this moment.

To deal with ordinary TV series, Cheng Xiaodong's preparation is more than enough, but if Lin Xi asks for a level as high as a movie, Cheng Xiaodong will be a little uncertain.

Of course, this incident did not make Cheng Xiaodong feel frightened, but he had a feeling of eagerness to try.

Cheng Xiaodong is willing to stay in the position of TV martial arts all the time, and he was not moved by the high salary offered by wireless before, so he saved the idea of using this stage to sharpen himself.

You must know that filming TV series on Li's side is thousands of miles worse than wireless in terms of production cycle and capital investment, but Cheng Xiaodong himself is willing, the reason is that he thinks that those TV series that rely on time and money are successful, and everyone thinks that it should be, and the credit will not go to himself, only by shooting the best things with the shortest time and the least amount of money, others will think that you are a great person.

It is also this ability to "spend less money to make a good show" that made Wireless move the idea of spending a lot of money to dig him up and change jobs.

It's a pity that this matter was cut off by Lin Xi.

Of course, for Cheng Xiaodong, he himself regards this opportunity as a better whetstone, since Lin Xi wants to make this TV series to the level of a movie, then he doesn't mind coming up with some unique skills at the bottom of the box.

Cheng Xiaodong's series of expression changes all fell into Chen Jiaxiang's eyes, originally he told Cheng Xiaodong about this, but he just saw that Cheng Xiaodong was a little upset when he came over, so he helped Lin Xi beat the other party first, because coordinating the relationship between the crew members and the director is also an important job for the assistant director.

Cheng Xiaodong was indeed suppressed at first, but soon he burst out with confidence again, which made Chen Jiaxiang look at him a little impressed.

The people who can be favored by Lin Xi are really not simple characters.

The two of them stood like this with their own thoughts, and it didn't take long to see Lin Xi walk in from outside the set, and then they all greeted him.

Today is the official start day of "Chu Liuxiang", Lin Xi, as the director, naturally can't be late, in fact, he came a little early, originally wanted to see how Chen Jiaxiang was preparing for the start-up ceremony, but after arriving here, he found that there seemed to be nothing prepared here.

In Lin Xi's impression, when the filming of Hong Kong movies and TV dramas started, it was not always fashionable to put an incense case, and then the director led a group of actors and crew to serve incense there, and sometimes a roast suckling pig and fruit would be prepared on the table as a tribute.

Although the crew of "Chu Liuxiang" looks simple, in fact, Lin Xi took out enough funds for filming, especially before he made a little joke on this issue.

At the beginning, Lin Xi overestimated the cost of TV production in this era, and even felt that it was not enough to throw all the funds he had in hand, and he had to take some emergencies from other acquaintances, but after asking Chen Jiaxiang carefully and carefully, he found that the current filming of TV series is not as rich as that of later generations, whether it is the salary of the actors or the salaries of the staff, Lin Xi only needs to take out his manuscript fees from "The Peerless Double Pride" and "Notes on Tomb Robbery", It's more than enough to cope with the filming of a TV series.

Even so, Lin Xi still gave a very high figure when he made the budget for the filming of the TV series, in his own words, that is, some money can be saved, but some money cannot be saved.

For example, making zuò costumes and inviting good dragon and tiger martial artists, Lin Xi spent very generous money.

As the assistant director of the crew, Chen Jiaxiang also has the right to control some funds, because Lin Xi is not very familiar with some things about the operation of the crew, so he simply handed them over to him, and the preparations for the start-up ceremony are naturally included in it.

Seeing that there was only an incense case here, and two plates of fruit were placed on it, Lin Xi's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant.

Chen Jiaxiang was busy beckoning the rest of the crew to come and gather, and he didn't notice this detail, but Cheng Xiaodong saw it, he stabbed Chen Jiaxiang with his elbow, and then snuggled at Lin Xi.

As soon as he saw the expression on Lin Xi's face, Chen Jiaxiang immediately knew what was going on, and after glancing at Cheng Xiaodong gratefully, he immediately went over to explain.

After Chen Jiaxiang's explanation, Lin Xi realized that he had misunderstood, it turned out that there was not so much attention to filming TV series at this time, and only the kind of particularly famous movies that needed to hold a press conference when they started will make those scenes.

Originally, Lin Xi was still a little worried, but he had praised Haikou in front of Cheng Xiaodong before, but now the crew is even doing a start-up ceremony so simply, will it make the other party contemptible.

But seeing that Cheng Xiaodong's face was as usual, and he didn't seem to have any objection to such an arrangement, Lin Xi was relieved and said two words of comfort to Chen Jiaxiang, and this matter was considered to be in the past.
