"Uncle and aunt, why don't you stay in Anxi for a few more days, there are many places you haven't been to yet." Han Li said to Qi's father and mother.

Qi Mu glanced at Qi Ran who was standing next to Han Li, and then shook her head with a smile at Han Li: "Forget it, your uncle and I both have jobs, so we have to rush back to deal with it." It's Xiao Oak you, when you're done and come to Shicheng to play, Auntie will entertain you well. ”

"Hehe, I'll definitely go over and bother when I have time." Han Li said with a smile.

Father Qi patted Han Li's shoulder and smiled, "Xiao Li, I've worked hard for you these past few days." ”

Han Li shook his head and said, "Uncle, you're polite, this is what I should do." ”

"yes, okay." Father Qi nodded and glanced at Qi Ran next to him, and then said to Han Li: "Since Xiao Ran, this girl wants to play in Anxi for a few days, let her play for a few days." But this girl has been spoiled by us since she was a child, what's wrong, you should bear more. ”

"Dad, what do you say?" Qi Ran said dissatisfiedly at Qi's father.

Hahahaha...... Father Qi laughed when he saw this.

As for Han Li, he also nodded with a smile and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I understand." ”

"Well, your child is mature, I can still rest assured." Father Qi nodded, and then thought of something, but hesitated for a moment and didn't know what to say. However, after glancing at Qi Ran, Father Qi still whispered to Han Li: "That you young man loves to be impulsive in everything you do, and you don't think about the consequences. So there are some things that are not only happy, but also do a good job of safety measures, you know? ”

Forehead...... Han Li's face turned red when he heard this, and then he nodded heavily, and Qi Ran's face next to him turned even red.

When Mother Qi on the side heard this, she glared at Father Qi fiercely, and then pulled Qi Ran to whisper something.

After waiting for five or six minutes, Father Qi couldn't help but urge the two mothers who were still chatting in a whisper: "Okay, okay, it's almost time, let's go in." ”

Qi's mother glared at Qi's father, but she still separated after hugging Qi Ran, and then Han Li, who was leaving, said to him in front of him: "Xiao Li, don't be busy with work, pay more attention to your body." Young people should not always think that they are in good health and do not take it seriously, otherwise they will suffer when they are old. ”

"Thank you, Auntie, I'll take care of it." Han Li said with a smile.

"Well, let's go, you two have to be fine." Qi Mu nodded, glanced at Qi Ran, and then walked in from the entrance with some reluctance. As for Father Qi, he smiled and nodded at the two of them, and followed.

Looking at the back of Qi's father and Qi's mother walking in, Han Li stopped Qi Ran and said, "If you are reluctant, you can also go back, it is not easy for the two elders, you should accompany them more, I am fine here." ”

Qi Ran leaned on Han Li's shoulder and shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay, I told them that I will accompany you here for a few days and then go back." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Han Li smelled the fragrance emanating from Qi Ran's hair, and couldn't help but feel a little soothed in his heart.

Qi Ran grabbed Han Li's arm and said to him, "Let's go, it's time for you to go to the crew." After a few days of delays, it's time to work seriously. ”

Hearing this, Han Li shook his head with a bitter look on his face and said, "Why don't you go tomorrow, I will accompany you today." ”

Qi Ran naturally knew the meaning of Han Li's words, but he shook his head and comforted: "Be obedient, the things on the crew's side are important." With so much investment and so much effort, you don't want it to be a problem, right? ”

Hearing this, Han Li weighed the pros and cons, and finally Han Li nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll send you home first." ”

Qi Ran shook his head and said, "Just leave me in the city, I'll take a taxi back by myself, it's very convenient." You go to work and remember to go home early for dinner in the evening. ”

Han Li nodded, then grabbed Qi Ran and walked outside.

Returning to the city from the airport, Han Li put Qi Ran in a taxi, and he immediately rushed to the film studio.

After the graduation ceremony, Qi Ran's parents took a few more days in Anxi. So although Han Li was busy, he still took a lot of time to accompany him.

So, this also caused the crew to pile up too many things. Therefore, after Han Li arrived at the crew, he did not immediately participate in the shooting, but dealt with these things.

"Xiao Han!" Han Li, who was looking down at the documents, suddenly heard someone calling him, and then looked up and found that this person was the producer of their show.

This person's name is Guo Peicai, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-seven years old, and he is the vice president of the film and television company that cooperated with Han Li, and this time he served as the producer of this drama. The reason why he was asked to be the producer was that Han Li and they had little experience, and the producer was also the most powerful person in the crew besides the director. Even some things of the crew need to be signed by the producer to take effect. Therefore, Han Li handed over this position to this film and television company.

On the one hand, it is hoped that they can find an experienced and suitable person to come and take on the role, so that they can learn from the experience. On the other hand, it is also to reassure the other party, after all, other film and television companies have also invested a lot, and sending someone over to squat can also be a lot more reassuring.

"Hey, what's wrong with Brother Guo?" Han Li asked at him.

Guo Peicai shook his head and sat down, then handed Han Li a cigarette and lit one himself. Looking at Han Li's puzzled look, Guo Peicai handed the document in his hand to Han Li and said, "Take a look." ”

Han Li took the document with some curiosity, and then scanned it at a glance. When he saw the numbers above, Han Li couldn't help frowning and said, "Why is it so much?" ”

Guo Peicai smiled bitterly: "This is still as of last week, just counted." ”

Hearing Guo Peicai's words, Han Li felt that his brain couldn't help but hurt. What Guo Peicai showed him was a financial statement of the crew, which roughly listed the cost from the start of filming to the last week. I don't know if I don't know this, I was shocked when I saw it, it exceeded the budget by more than 4 million, how long has it been, and it is only the operating expenses of the crew.

This does not include the salary of the main actor and the main creative team, as well as the post-production costs of the film. No wonder everyone says that this film and television drama is here to burn money, and you can't even hear a sound when you smash millions into it.

Han Li took a deep breath of his cigarette, and then said to Guo Peicai: "What is the main aspect, do you have detailed data?" ”

"The specific details are still being sorted out, and as soon as I saw this number, I quickly showed it to you." Guo Peicai said to Han Li: "But I still know the general situation, and there are three aspects in general.

First of all, the overall shooting progress is much slower than we expected, although we are mentally prepared for these, but the cost after the delay is much higher than the normal cost. For example, the rental cost of the studio, the salary of the group performance, and other postponement costs. Although the items are not much, they add up to a lot of expenses. ”

Seeing Han Li nodded, Guo Peicai continued: "The second is that we have spent a lot on the construction of the scene, the production of props, and costumes, which is the most overspending. ”

"Isn't our budget quite adequate in this regard, how can we overspend so much?" Han Li couldn't help but wonder.

In this regard, Guo Peicai smiled bitterly and said: "This is not your own reason, you don't know the price of firewood and rice." You always blame this prop for not being well made and having to remake it, and that scene has to be modified and rebuilt. There are also negative costumes on the actors, some of which can be made by themselves, but some of which need to be purchased.

For example, the fashion they wear is the brand we buy. Just the clothes of the heroine Tian Lu cost us three or four hundred thousand, which is not anything else.

In addition, these props, don't look like they are all made by ourselves, but they also cost a lot of money. There are some things that you need to be made of good materials, so they are really made of jade, crystal, copper and iron, which together is a lot of money.

There are also those scenes, those who build one at random are piled up with money, and some only shoot one shot, can it be super. ”

Hearing Guo Peicai's complaint, Han Li smiled. Indeed, he didn't expect to exceed the budget so much, so he couldn't say anything about Guo Peicai's complaints.

They have a good budget in all aspects, but they didn't expect it to be exceeded, which also makes Han Li very helpless. The props and scenes are strict, which is indeed the reason why Han Li and Tong Yongjun are responsible.

The reason for this is because of the strict requirements of the two for the quality of shooting, so both the props and the scenes are made more finely. It is precisely because of this that those amazing pictures and shots will be displayed in the picture.

Therefore, from this point of view, the money is worth the word, and it is also what he is willing to spend.

As for the costumes of the actors, there is no way to do this, although it is a modern drama, everyone can wear modern clothes. But for the characters in the play, they can't all wear ordinary clothes that cost dozens or hundreds of dollars. For example, Shangguan Xinyue, the heroine in the play, was originally from a wealthy Chinese family in the United States, so she was naturally dressed more elegantly. can't let her wear dozens of dollars of online shopping like the actor.

So in order to highlight the identity of the character, the crew specially ordered a few sets of clothes for Tian Lu. But I didn't expect this kind of famous brand to be really expensive, so it cost them three or four hundred thousand yuan to buy a few sets.

Thinking of this, Han Li smiled, and then said to Guo Peicai: "It's also worth it, at least it's not wasted, and you should also see the effect they present."

As for Tian Lu's outfits, if you think it's expensive, you can sell it to her at a discount, anyway, she doesn't lack this money. ”

Forehead...... Regarding Han Li's words, Guo Peicai was also speechless. He couldn't have imagined that if it was so shameless to let the actor buy the costumes he wore for acting, Han Li could actually say it, and he was really convinced.

So after opening his mouth, Guo Peicai was not allowed to say anything. So after a pause, he decided to turn the page and no longer entangle with Han Li in this regard.

"The third thing is a blatant waste. Now some people in the crew are spending a lot of money, not because they don't feel sorry for their own money. Do you know how much boxed lunches we have to buy a day now, more than 10,000, sometimes even more than 20,000?

Of course, I'm not a stingy person, and I won't say don't waste it after eating. But some people feel that it is not their own, so they do not feel distressed. A good boxed lunch, eat a few bites and throw it away, and then replace it with a new one. The new steamed buns, without even eating, were thrown into the swill bucket. Every day, the two swill buckets outside the studio are filled with slow leftovers, and a few swill pullers almost fight for this.

In addition to these, there are many places where there is waste, such as water and beverages, coffee, tea, and so on. ”

Hearing Guo Peicai's words, Han Li's face couldn't help but look difficult. Sure enough, this crew is big, and anything can happen. During this time, he and Tong Yongjun patronized the filming, and they didn't pay much attention to the crew's affairs, but they didn't expect it to be like this.

Although such a situation will occur in every crew or collective, there are probably not many exaggerated ones like what Guo Peicai said.

Originally, Han Li thought that these people in the crew were all working hard with them, so they shouldn't be treated badly. Therefore, Han Li gave them a lot of money in terms of the treatment of crew members, but they didn't expect such a result.

Han Li thought for a while, and then said with a little anger at Guo Peicai: "I think these are all full of food, since this is the case, don't eat too much." In this way, you can decide how to reduce the budget in this area. In short, it is a principle that everyone should be fed, but not wasted. It's really not good, you can catch a few typical ones and clean up the atmosphere of the crew. ”

"Well, you have handed me over this offending errand again." Guo Peicai smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, Han Li smiled at him and said, "No way, this job is more suitable for you." There must be a black-faced housekeeper in every collective, so you have to work hard. ”

"Alright then, I'll take care of it." Guo Peicai said to Han Li.

And Han Li naturally knew Guo Peicai's concerns, so he immediately waved his hand at him and said, "Don't have any worries, as long as it doesn't affect our normal shooting." You look at the rest, it's useless for anyone to come to me to plead, I definitely won't tear down your stage. ”

"I'm much more relieved to have you say this, but you can help me say it over there. Don't come forward and be a good person without knowing the inside story, I won't be able to get off the stage. Guo Peicai was still a little worried, and said to Han Li.

It can be seen from this that he has encountered such things in other crews in the past. But just as Han Li said before, every crew will have it, and there should be such a role in playing blackface.

So when there are some things that Han Li and Tong Yongjun are inconvenient to come forward, this person should come forward.

But often, some people can't understand the Tao here, and always think that the one who sings black face is very bad, and the one who sings red face is very good.

As everyone knows, these are just routines, and sometimes singing red-faced may be worse than singing black-faced.

"Don't worry, I won't let him dismantle your platform." Han Li smiled at him.
