Chapter 47: How poor the crew is

Because Chen Fei is one of the main actors, the treatment is not bad, and he is assigned to a single room, and the accompanying driver and makeup artist have their whole faces become bitter melons.

The crew only left them one room.

Is it appropriate for a man and a woman to live in one room?

The staff of the crew also felt that this was inappropriate, and his face was full of embarrassment, saying that he would wait for the director and assistant director to come back before opening another room.

The assistant director is the person in charge of the finance and props purchase of the complex crew, and all expenses must be nodded and signed by him, otherwise they will not be reimbursed.

Of course, you can go directly past the assistant director and find the chief director.

Chen Fei looked at the two of them dragging their luggage and standing in the corridor, and also felt that it was inappropriate, the two of them were his entourage, and they had followed them all the way from Shangjing to Gucheng, and the journey was tiring, so they couldn't let the family wait until dark in the corridor.

Besides, who knows when the director will come back?

Call and ask?

Just for this little thing?

You don't know how to write the word madness.

The drama management knows the tempers of several directors very well, and if they disturb the filming because of a phone call from themselves, they can just roll up and leave.

He never dared to make a phone call during the filming, and several people were awkwardly stalemate in the hallway.

"You see, otherwise, I'll pay for a room to open a room, so that they can go back to the room early to rest and take a hot shower." Chen Fei had no choice but to choose to pay out of his own pocket.

Fortunately, the room rate of this hostel is cheap, 80 for a night in a double room, and 80 for a single room.

"Then what's embarrassing, otherwise, this money will be your private pad, and when Director Ning comes back, I will tell him privately and let the crew reimburse him later." The drama staff's faces were full of excitement, and they rubbed their hands together and stood in front of several people and apologized vigorously.

Looking at his gray clothes, looking at the sixty percent new and old van parked at the door of the hostel, Chen Fei had no intention of reimbursing the crew at all.

Maybe the staff of the crew just mentioned it in passing, no matter whether they can be reimbursed later, whether they will be reimbursed or not, they have to say it like this, and it makes people feel comfortable listening to it.

The three of them then settled down and lay down on the bed in the room for a while, and the time was five o'clock in the afternoon, and the other staff who had no role or did not go with the crew were in groups at the door of the hostel, like a wangfu stone, waiting for the crew to come back before starting the meal, commonly known as dinner.

The people waiting for the meal at the door of the hotel are all marginal characters, some have no lines at all, and some may just have one or two lines, casually helping the drama crew to do chores and mix up an extra salary.

These people belong to the bottom of the crew, and their status is slightly higher than those who are temporarily hired by the group actors, the salary is low, and many people are old and young, and it is not easy to support their families.

If you can save a meal, you can save a meal, or stay in the hostel and wait for a box lunch.

It's okay anyway, get together and wait for the meal, and fart and chat by the way, the content is roughly:

"What's going to eat tonight? Wouldn't it be the same lunch box from yesterday? The thief is unpalatable. ”

"It depends on whether today's location shooting goes smoothly, but don't fight at night? I can't eat this dinner, I'm hungry. ”

"Hungry, right? There's a spicy hot shop over there, 8 yuan is full, you have a treat, I'm reluctant to accompany you to eat, how about it? ”

"Hey, you said that the person next to him is not Mo Xiaobai who sings, it looks quite similar."

"You're stupid! is Mo Xiaobai, he is one of the leading actors, and he is currently the most popular among the actors invited by our hard-working crew. ”

"Isn't Xu Guangtou the most popular?"

Chen Fei stayed by the side for a while, and heard a few pieces of useful information.

Today's filming is a scene by the riverside starring Liu Tao (the security captain in the film), that is, they accidentally drove and hit a BMW 5 Series, their driver's license was confiscated, and they had to lose money.

The factory where Liu Tao works is about to close down, and he can't pay his salary for several months, so he can't afford to pay him, so he went to find his girlfriend who drove the bus to find a way, and the two made an appointment to meet by the river.

In order to shoot the exterior scene of the sunset, Director Ning went out and squatted for several days.

By the way, playing the role of Liu Tao's girlfriend is Director Ning's daughter-in-law.

Free to star.

Why? It's not about saving money yet.

The crew has a small budget and is poor!

Director Ning of the previous time and space participated in the new director plan initiated by Liu Tianwang and got an investment of 3 million, and because of Chen Fei's joining, Xinghai Company also became one of the investors, and the budget increased to 5 million.

Generally, new directors who have not released works are at this price, and the kind of micro-movies shot by randomly finding a few students to make cameos during college are not counted.

This is Director Ning's first big-screen work in his life, and he can't help but pay attention to it.

The budget for the whole movie is 5 million, can you do it without picking the door?

Chen Fei waited outside for a while, seeing the sunset and the sky gradually darkening, the crew had not returned yet, and he didn't plan to wait, so he went upstairs and asked the driver's brother and makeup artist to go out for dinner.

Of course, the money is from him, which can be regarded as washing the dust for the two.

There are many people who have this idea for him, and along the way, he met a lot of other crew members who stayed in the hostel, and most of them went to the roadside shop near the hostel in groups of three or five.

The small county town has the benefits of a small county town, the price is low, the amount of each dish is sufficient, the three of them ordered five or six dishes, meat and vegetarian matching, plus a hot pot, and it was only less than 180 yuan when it was settled.

At the dinner table, the makeup artist eldest sister said hesitantly: "Xiaobai, you see it's okay for me to stay here, the crew has to arrange a makeup artist, it's better to let me go back directly." ”

The driver's eldest brother put down his wine glass and looked at the two of them, in fact, he also wanted to go back.

Birds don't in this place, and the hotel for a few people is located in the suburbs, and there are no entertainment facilities, except for saunas or saunas, and a bosom friend magazine in the hostel is about to be turned over.

But since the makeup artist sister proposed it first, he couldn't go back, no matter how people say it, he is also a star, and he can't leave someone around him.

Who made him a big man, he couldn't say anything and robbed with a woman.

"Come on! If you have an extra part on your body, you have to stay and suffer. The driver's eldest brother silently poured the wine in the cup into his throat and let out a long sigh.

"Sister Liu, I'll meet with Director Ning first in the evening, if there is no shortage of makeup artists here, you can go back, I will call the company and say that I am embarrassed to let the two of you suffer here."

The size of the family is also a star, and when it comes to this, it is inconvenient for the two of them to say more, but there is a little more trepidation in their hearts.

In any case, the other party is also the object of their service, commonly known as the boss.

It's really rare to see such a star without a frame and such a good-talking boss.

Sister Liu and the driver's eldest brother were warm in their hearts, and picked up chopsticks to pick up the dishes for Chen Fei one by one, and the meal could be regarded as a happy meal.
