20 Big Scenes, Big Productions, Big Liars?
Shen Changwen walked into the cafΓ©, took a look at it, and saw a table inside, and a woman stood up and greeted her: "Professor Shen?" Over here. β
Shen Changwen walked over and found that the other party was a woman, and he looked good, no wonder when Chen She called him, he also hinted that he was in his youth - this little rabbit cub.
"Is it Miss Dong?" Shen Changwen shook hands with the other party.
"Yes, Dong Yuan, you can call me Xiao Dong. What coffee does Professor Shen like? β
"Black coffee," Shen Changwen called the waiter, "Do you have anything to eat here?" β
"Freshly made cakes and cookies, and freshly made sandwiches and burgers."
"Let's have two sandwiches, put more meat," and then Shen Changwen smiled at Dong Yuan again, "Seeing the smile, I didn't bother to eat all morning." Wu Xiaoqing just left, and Shen Changwen had to do a lot of trivial things that were originally given to him, after all, he was almost 50 years old, and his energy to do these things was obviously a little insufficient.
"It's okay, you're free."
Shen Changwen took out a small notebook while speaking, it was some requirements for design that he thought of in the taxi he came, he carefully reviewed some of the points he recorded, sorted out his thoughts, and said to Dong Yuan: "Then I'll get straight to the point, I haven't been in contact with engineering design, if there is any problem, you can mention it." β
Dong Yuan nodded generously: "You are Party A, just give orders." β
"I don't know if Chen She has introduced it to you, so I'll start from the beginning. First of all, this is a project that is required to be realized in the movie, but it is not the kind of set, but a real set that can be used. Because it is the content of the movie, in terms of engineering, it must be considered to conform to the basic setting of the movie. β
Dong Yuan listened very seriously and did not express any doubts, so Shen Changwen continued: "The content of this movie is like this, well, two earthlings traveled to a primitive society, and then helped a group of primitive people survive the flood there. This project is used as a center for this disaster relief. The director has three requirements for this project, the first is simple, the project in the film should be a simple project that two people can build by hand, which is very important, and it must also be ensured that there may be scenes of the two of them working in the movie; second, it can shelter ordinary wind and rain and has a certain thermal insulation capacity; Third, there should be an isolation function. β
Dong Yuan took her mobile phone to record the sound, and when she saw that Shen Changwen was no longer continuing, she asked, "That's all?" β
"That's all."
"Let me ask a few questions, then."
"Okay." At this time, Shen Changwen's sandwich was also delivered, and he listened while eating.
"The project you are talking about is not limited to construction, I mean, is it acceptable to have a simple house like a steel plate house?"
"Yes, no problem, as long as you can live in someone, even if it's a thatched house."
"How many people will live in total?"
Shen Changwen thought for a long time and said, "For the time being, let's count it according to the scale of four or five thousand people." β
Dong Yuan couldn't help laughing: "This is just a movie, Professor Shen, you don't need to really press this number, to be honest, a simple house with two or three hundred people seems to be very large, and a house with four or five thousand people, only two people can do it, even if it is the simplest combined board house, it will take at least half a year to a year." β
Shen Changwen thought about it carefully, and shook his head again: "No, no, no, what this film director likes to shoot is a big scene, four or five thousand people will definitely want it, maybe they will add it when the time comes." β
"How long for these two?"
"About a week to half a month."
Dong Yuan smiled again: "Didn't you screenwriters consider rationality when they designed the plot?" Of course, now the film is not so strict. If you really want two people to find a place for four or five thousand people to live in half a month, then the only possible way is to set up a tent, which is the kind of military big tent, the kind that can fit hundreds of people, and this has to be two very skilled veterans. β
Shen Changwen can't say that this SB screenwriter is himself. Interlacing is like separating mountains, and that's true. Shen Changwen originally thought that it would be easy to find two people to build a house like building blocks, but now that Dong Yuan mentioned it, this idea is indeed a bit naΓ―ve. Four or five thousand people, which doesn't sound like much, can all be pulled out for morning exercises, and they can be densely spread over several football fields.
Shen Changwen thought for a while and asked, "Is the cost of the tent higher than that of the simple house?" β
Dong Yuan gently stirred the coffee spoon: "It's not a matter of being higher, let's put it this way, the per capita living cost of a tent is at least thirty or forty yuan, which is the lowest, which is the bottom line that manufacturers basically don't make money." According to the calculation of 5,000 people you said, this is 250,000, and if it is the market price, it will be at least 500,000. If all the 500,000 yuan are used to buy steel plates to make simple houses, they can be used for more than 100,000 people. β
"That's fine, this movie is not bad for money."
Dong Yuan shook his head: "It's not just about money, if you only have two people, the kind of tent that saves money is not the time to build, and what you can buy is the simplest tourist tent." If it's one or two, it's fine, you have to live here for 5,000 people, and these tents are piled together, and as long as it rains, it will get water, and as long as it is windy, it will blow away, not to mention 5,000 people eating and drinking in it...... Of course, this is a movie, and there won't really be that many people. But with so many tents, I'm afraid you won't be able to manage them at all. β
Dong Yuan said very reasonably, and the management problem is indeed ...... If the barbarians were all on a ship, or in a large cave, it would be simple, anyway, they were all under their noses. But when the time came, they were divided into hundreds of tents, and the three of them alone...... Just imagining that kind of scene of feces and urine everywhere, Shen Changwen felt terrible.
"I have an idea," Dong Yuan said, "Anyway, are you filming primitive people in the movie, don't pay attention to the conditions, don't think about whether to build a house or a tent, just use this money to rent an excavator, dig a row of long pits directly on the ground, make entrances on both sides, and people live in the pits. β
"This ...... If it rains, it's a problem. β
"Do you make movies, why do you have to be so strict," Dong Yuan explained, "Even if there is a rainy scene, it's okay, you dig the ground in a high place, and finally pay attention to leaving a few drainage ditches to ensure that there will be no stagnant water." β
"So how to solve the problem of keeping warm? The setting in the movie is quite cold. β
Dong Yuan said strangely: "Anyway, you make movies, don't you?" What kind of cold are primitive people afraid of, aren't they all shirtless and wearing animal skins? β
"The director is demanding, this is a big production, and these issues must be taken into account."
Dong Yuan was curious: "Which big director?" Is it domestic? β
Shen Changwen sighed: "Keep it secret for the time being." β
"If you really want to be so particular, it is not difficult, pay attention when digging a pit, dig a deep groove as a flue, and finally lay a steel pipe inside, and set up a separate kang outside, which will be the same as a radiator at that time."
"It's still as I said before, you come up with a picture, and we'll let the workers do it when the time comes."
Dong Yuan was a little embarrassed: "This thing is not a design at all, there is no need to produce a drawing, I can just draw a schematic diagram for you, and everyone who is involved in construction understands it." At most, I'll charge you a little consulting fee, if this is counted, I will be laughed to death by Chen She. β
"It's okay, it's okay," Shen Changwen insisted, "Just according to the price we said before, you will make the picture." β
Then he lowered his voice a little and added: "It's all the investor's money, Miss Dong doesn't need to be polite." β
Dong Yuan no longer shirked: "Okay, wait for your specific venue information to me, and I can give it to you in two days at the latest." β
"Okay, then it's decided," Shen Changwen was almost finished, "Send me a message if you have any questions, goodbye." β
"Goodbye."
Shen Changwen left the cafΓ©, turned around and walked into a bathroom not far from the street, originally he had an appointment with Shi Qiang for a restaurant, but because he chatted with Dong Yuan for a long time, Shi Qiang was a little impatient and waited, so he went to the bathroom to take a bath. Just after the Spring Festival, the weather is still very cold, and many southerners have the habit of bathing.
Shen Changwen was going to come to the door to wait, but as soon as he walked in the door, he saw two sturdy men greeting him: "Shen Changwen, Brother Qiang let us wait for you here." β
followed the two of them all the way to the bathing center, and finally arrived at a private room, where a naked man was lying naked on the bed smoking a cigarette, Shen Changwen looked at him for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Shi Qiang?" β
The other party didn't seem to shy away from him at all, just glanced at him and spit out a big smoke ring: "Yes, it's me, how much do you want to borrow?" β
"What?" Shen Changwen didn't react for a while.
"First time borrowing? I don't understand the rules," Shi Qiang casually took out a briefcase from the side, shook out several yuan inside, as well as paper and pen, "Write an IOU first, borrow as much as you want, start with a seven-fold discount, pay back one-third a month, and pay half a year, understand?" β
Only then did Shen Changwen realize that the other side must have misunderstood, and he didn't make it clear on the phone: "You are mistaken, I am not here to borrow money." β
"Why are you looking for me if you don't borrow money?" Shi Qiang frowned and said, "You also made me wait for you for more than an hour." β
"Wu Xiaoqing, do you remember? You left him a business card and said you had a lot of connections here. Shen Changwen's euphemistic body shape of the other party.
"Oh, remember, Wu Xiaoqing...... You are? β
"Wu Xiaoqing's business in the university is what I introduced," asked Wu Xiaoqing about the reason, and Shen Changwen said the wrong way, "It's a bit troublesome, I want to come to Mr. Shi for help." β
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Shi Qiang hurriedly put on his underwear first, then poured tea for Shen Changwen, and then motioned for his subordinates to go aside.
After waiting for the two of them to be left in the room, Shi Qiang handed Shen Changwen a cigarette again, Shen Changwen waved his hand and refused, and then said directly: "I have a project at hand, and I want to find two workers to work." β
"Engineering? Two? When Shi Qiang heard about the project, his face was happy, and after hearing the two, he couldn't hide his disappointment. The mood shifted so quickly that the muscles in his face were a little distorted.
"Yes, there are only two of them, but my request is a bit special, so I came to you to ask," Shen Changwen saw that the other party looked a little dissatisfied, and immediately gave a reassurance, "If it is successful, I can pay 20,000 yuan for one person's introduction." β
20,000 yuan to dig a person, this treatment is almost the treatment of a headhunter digging a middle-level person, hearing this number, Shi Qiang immediately lifted his spirits: "What do you ask to say." β
"There must be a lot of people here who owe you a lot of debts and can't afford to pay them off."
Shi Qiang smiled: "It's like this in this business, but don't worry, boss, the person who introduced you to you is definitely not ......."
"No, that's what I want," Shen Changwen knocked on the table and emphasized, "Those who owe a lot of debts, there are a bunch of handles that you hold in your hands, there are wives and children at home, honest people, those who want to repay debts, and those who can drive excavators...... Wait, I'll think about it again, it's better to be illiterate, the lower the culture, the better, just this kind of person, do you have one? β
Shi Qiang's tears were about to fall when he was told by this string of words - there are still such intimate customers in this world, and all these character characteristics he listed, except for the first one, are basically the gold standard for screening people when their company lends money, and this requirement is almost all quickly met after these people become their customers.
Shi Qiang held Shen Changwen's hand tightly, shaking excitedly: "The most important thing in our company is this person, let's say, when do you want someone, I will make a phone call to ensure that they will report to you within 30 minutes." β
