Chapter 373: Dispute Resolution
The crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story", no staff member knows that director Cheng Xiaodong and producer A Can can't get along, not only in terms of personality, but also in the use of money, Cheng Xiaodong is generous, spending money like running water, Ah Can has learned the lesson of "Mr. Zombie", and is used to being careful in budgeting, and every time he spends, he must list the project in detail and plan well.
In the broken temple, Wang Guxian held his chin in every kind of boredom, just finished filming a scene today, the director and the producer argued again, and the crew was naturally in a state of suspension.
Zhou Hailin complained: "I really don't understand them, it's just to buy a prop, what's there to fight for?" The first few times, it wasn't the producer who went to the company to make up the budget and received a lot of money, and I think the same result is this time. ”
Zhang Guorong persuaded for a while just now, knew the truth of the matter, and explained: "The director is not satisfied with the monster props made this time, and wants to do it once, the producer thinks that it can be used to decorate the appearance, and it is best to use hundreds of thousands of funds, and neither of them can make up their minds." ”
Wang Guxian asked, "Didn't Mr. Xu come?" ”
Zhou Hailin said with a smile: "The first few times, Mr. Xu persuaded the producer, as long as he comes, the matter will be solved!" ”
Zhang Guorong said: "I have already called Mr. Xu, and every time I trouble him, I will be embarrassed." ”
Regarding the controversy between Cheng Xiaodong and Ah Can, Zhang Guorong and others are neutral, but as the leading actor, they still agree with the director's ideas, but the producer Ah Can was personally appointed by Wang Zichuan, and the three of them are reluctant to intervene between the two because of their relationship with Wang Zichuan.
"Mr. Wang is here!"
I don't know who shouted, Wang Guxian and Zhou Hailin jumped up together, glanced at each other, their pretty faces were rosy, and they sat down with twists.
Zhang Guorong said with a smile: "Ah Chuan is here, let's go over and have a look." ”
"Okay!" Wang Guxian and Zhang Guorong are closer, so they naturally feel that they have the upper hand.
Zhou Hailin also said 'um' and followed behind Zhang Guorong.
"As a director and producer. Isn't it a shame to be like a street gangster who quarrels in front of everyone! ”
Wang Guxian and Zhou Hailin were far away, and when they heard the voice of Wang Zichuan's reprimand, the two couldn't help but spit out their fragrant tongues, looked at each other and smiled.
Cheng Xiaodong lacked confidence, and looked at Wang Zichuan with a weak heart, with Xu Ke as his backing in the past, he really didn't put the producer in his eyes, but in front of Wang Zichuan. It's another feeling, especially this prop incident, which is purely his whim.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Wang Zichuan sat on a chair and waved to the surrounding crew members, and only Zhang Guorong, Wang Guxian, and Zhou Hailin were left in the audience.
Cheng Xiaodong's heart beat faster, and he said sneeringly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a little trivial, I talked to the producer a little rushed." ”
Ah Chan also didn't want to expose his shortcomings. echoed: "That's it, both the director and I are impulsive temperaments......"
"That's it! Don't try to fool the past! Wang Zichuan accentuated his tone and said: "I often hear that you always quarrel in the company, what is the reason for this time?" ”
Brother Achuan is so majestic! Wang Guxian looked at the usually majestic director and producer and was reprimanded by Wang Zichuan like a primary school student. Vanity was unprecedentedly satisfied, and he jumped to Wang Zichuan's side, and quickly explained the cause and effect of the matter.
Cheng Xiaodong's face was ugly, and he felt what Wang Guxian said. There is a fight for him everywhere.
Wang Zichuan looked at the monster standing on the side, exactly the same as what he saw in the movie, and it was a disgusting feeling. After observing it, he frowned and said, "This prop is good, why change it?" ”
Cheng Xiaodong explained: "Because the monster head is not scary enough, I wanted to make a more realistic prop. ”
"That's why?" Wang Zichuan was displeased, this prop costs at least tens of thousands of yuan, and Hong Kong is not Hollywood, how can it be so finely exquisite, and the audience will not buy it, otherwise bad movies will not run rampant in the market.
Cheng Xiaodong felt a chill in his heart, and a flash of inspiration flashed, adding: "There are also prop skins that are not realistic enough, and it is easy to reveal flaws, Mr. Wang, look at the claws of that monster, they will break when you touch them, and it is easy to have problems when shooting." ”
Ah Chan said: "I think it's good to create a terrifying atmosphere, and when shooting, you can completely avoid these loose places." ”
Wang Zichuan said: "Ah Can is right, props can be used." ”
Cheng Xiaodong nodded disappointedly, he wanted to make a good film, although he made a lot of movies, but none of them were brilliant, he summed it up and concluded that it was a problem of funds, there were not enough funds and many scenes were not in line with what he imagined, and now he finally met Tengfei Entertainment, a big financier, so he naturally had to seize the opportunity.
Wang Zichuan patted Cheng Xiaodong on the shoulder and comforted: "What you said also makes sense, so let's change the skin of the props from the new side and refer to Hollywood standards." ”
Cheng Xiaodong had the same feeling in his heart, he did study Hollywood shooting techniques, in Hong Kong, they have a nickname for these cutting-edge directors, 'New Wave directors', advocating beautiful pictures and realistic effects.
But the mainstream of Hong Kong does not agree with them, people like Ah Can abound, they can save money, and they don't want to spend more money if they can, and today I actually saw the meaning of encouragement in Wang Zichuan, the other party is the big boss of Tengfei Entertainment, a representative figure of the old guard!
Ah Can said stubbornly: "Mr. Wang, I think this is very good, if you want me to say, just stuff some straw in the props, and make it a remote control zhì, which will waste hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars." ”
Cheng Xiaodong retorted: "A prop can decide the fate of a film, and I plan to do a few stunts on props to do my best." ”
Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "How to do it is your ten, but I will not approve another penny of funds, this "A Chinese Ghost Story" has exceeded the budget of 500,000 yuan!" ”
Cheng Xiaodong immediately shut up, speaking of this, he also felt very embarrassed, the movie was only a quarter of the way through, and it exceeded the budget of 500,000 yuan, and when it was put in the Di brothers, he had already been transferred from his post and sat on the cold bench.
Wang Zichuan waved his hand and ordered: "You go and discuss what to do, don't worry about quarreling, the film schedule is set for July, and if you can't hand over the film by then, it will be Xu Ke who will clean you up first!" ”
Cheng Xiaodong kept nodding, Xu Ke has the title of producer, the film is a joint investment between the film studio and Tengfei Entertainment, if the schedule is delayed, the biggest loss is Xu Ke.
Zhang Guorong saw Zhou Hailin and Wang Guxian standing beside Wang Zichuan left and right, Ah Chuan was still like this, accompanied by beautiful women everywhere he went, and sighed with self-pity and disappeared automatically. (To be continued......)
