Chapter 2 Strange People Left and Right (Second Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"But you seem to be just two actors!" Zuo Xiaoyou glanced at the actress and actor, and said, "This should be the village tyrant and the village flower, where is the village official?" ”
"This ......" The director laughed dryly: "Because I can't find a suitable actor, I can only play this village official myself." ”
“……”
left and right, it is another poor crew of 'there are not enough actors, the director will make up'.
"How many people are in your crew? Who is the producer? How much money? Micro-movies should only be distributed online! Are there any advertising sponsorships in it? Zuo Xiaoyou asked.
The director was stunned, this series of questions was quite professional, just like a veteran of the crew for many years.
"You ......"
"I spent a few years in Hengdian." Zuo Xiaoyou lightly solved the director's doubts.
The director suddenly said: "I see. ”
Then he smiled and said: "In this way, we are also half of the same peers." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou waved his hand: "No, I just ran for a few years, and I stopped doing it in the second half of last year." ”
"No one gave you a role?" The director couldn't believe it.
In his opinion, although Zuo Xiaoyou is not handsome, his facial features are tough, his eyes are bright, and his whole body has a strong bookish atmosphere, and even a little bit of the kingly and domineering spirit of the superior. Such a person, as long as his acting skills are not too bad, should not lack roles in any crew, how can he be playing tricks for several years?
"It's just a young man." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "Don't talk about this, can you answer my questions just now?" ”
Seeing that Zuo Xiaoyou was reluctant to say more, the director was not reluctant. It is fate to be able to meet half of my peers in the depths of the mountains, and the director happily told the situation of the crew.
is similar to what Zuo Xiaoyou thought, the producer didn't have it, after all, this was just a micro-film, so the director paid out of his own pocket to shoot it. This is also known as independent film.
The funds are only half a million. This is also a sponsorship that the director pulled from a friend.
500,000 yuan is enough to make a micro-movie. The actors are all newcomers, and although the actor of the Earth Emperor is an old actor with enough acting skills, he has not been famous and the price is not high. The actress is still a school student, which is cheaper. The combined salary of the two actors is only 30,000 yuan.
20,000 for male actors and 10,000 for actresses.
Then there is the crew, a total of about a dozen people. There is no group performance, and it is estimated that the villagers under the mountain will be borrowed. It's also a way to save money.
From preparation to shooting, to post-production. Half a million is definitely tight. Fortunately, this kind of micro-movie does not need to be submitted for review, as long as it is not too excessive, there is no problem with playing it on the video website.
But this kind of micro-film is at most to earn some meager fame for the director and actors, paving the way for the future. Making money is something you don't have to think about.
Zuo Xiaoyou knocked on the table and said, "It's okay to lend the house to you for filming, but in order to prevent anyone in your crew from having unclean hands and feet, I hope you are optimistic about your own people." ”
"Don't worry, it's going to be fine!" The director hurriedly assured: "Although we are a small crew, everyone in the crew has been selected. Never steal. ”
"Hehe......" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled without saying a word.
It's all a thousand-year-old fox, pretending to talk about fasting.
The director's old face turned red, coughed dryly, and said, "Mr. Zuo, don't worry." We promise not to take a stitch from you. ”
"If it's just needlework, you can take it if you want." Zuo Xiaoyou said lightly: "But my ancient books are difficult to see on the market, I hope you crew don't touch them." It doesn't matter if the rest is fine. ”
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Zuo." The director hurriedly thanked him. And repeatedly assured that he would not be allowed to suffer any property damage.
"That's good." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded and asked, "The conditions in the mountains are difficult. Have you prepared your tent? ”
Filming in the mountains, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all big problems, especially housing.
There are no hotels in the mountains, and the conditions at the villagers' homes are not good, and it is impossible to have any houses for rent, unless the crew gives the villagers money and sends the villagers to live with relatives for a few days. If this is not the case, you will have to bring your own tent.
Zuo Xiaoyou understands the living conditions of the villagers under the mountain, and the villagers are definitely willing to rent their houses to the crew, but the crew is afraid that they will not sleep in the dirty, dilapidated and leaky houses of the villagers. The houses of the villagers at the foot of the mountain are no cleaner than the pig's nest.
"We rented a hotel in a nearby town." The director said: "I also communicated with the motorcycles in the town, and each car was 100 yuan a day." We'll go back to town before dark. ”
"No night play?"
"You can shoot it in one night, and it's over after a while." The director said.
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "Then it's no problem." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zuo." After a pause, the director cautiously asked, "Mr. Zuo, what is the rental ......fee for your house?"
"No need." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "Even if it's a good fate!" In the future, if any of you are famous, it is enough to remember me as a friend. ”
Hearing this, even the actress smiled, feeling that Zuo Xiaoyou was really a good person. She also forgave the unreasonable behavior of staring at her before.
"When will your crew start filming?" Zuo Xiaoyou asked.
"The sooner the better, of course." The director said: "In addition, we have to modify Mr. Zuo's interior decoration slightly, such as the bookcase and those books, a soil emperor will definitely not be so elegant." ”
It doesn't matter if you are left or right, as long as you don't cause damage to him, you can arrange it with them.
It was morning, and the director quickly went down the hill to call all the crew up, and then began to observe and set up the environment.
I didn't look carefully when I was busy before, but now that I have time, after observation, the director was surprised to find that the environment here is simply too good, and it is completely a paradise.
"Huh? Are these little piglets wild boars? ”
"It's all pheasants and hares? Isn't this a natural wildlife farm! ”
"What a cute big cat, are these two mountain dogs?"
"Does Mr. Zuo grow his own vegetables? This little vegetable garden is really nice. ”
"Oh! Aren't these manuscripts from the Ming and Qing dynasties? It's all alone! Holy! Be careful with all the people who move books! I can't afford to lose if I break it and sell you! ”
"Today, Mr. Zuo personally cooked and cooked a big pot of rice for us to eat, thank you Mr. Zuo!"
"Thank you, Mr. Zuo!"
"Wow! This meal is so delicious, and Mr. Zuo's craftsmanship is really good. ”
"Mr. Zuo is so virtuous! If he were a woman, I would have married him. ”
"Just you? I don't want to follow you. ”
"Damn, I don't want to talk to Lao Tzu!"
"Hahaha......"
For a few days, the crew knew that there was a strange person here in Liangshan. The strange man is not very old, and his appearance is not good. But there are university questions. Ancient Chinese poems come as soon as you open your mouth, you can understand everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you also have a very good hand in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
In the past two days, several members of the crew have been unable to adapt to the water and soil, coupled with the cold weather, resulting in high fever and vomiting and diarrhea. But the strange man only went around the mountain once, brought back a few herbs, boiled them into a Chinese medicine soup, and then combined with acupuncture, just one night later. The two crew members were completely cured, which shocked everyone in the crew.
In addition, the strange people are also quite rich, and they have contracted a mountain forest here and live an idyllic life. Everyone was envious.
Especially the young and beautiful actress with a compelling aura, the eyes of the left and right have changed.
"Knowing and then there is certainty, and then being fixed can be quiet, and then being quiet and then being able to be peaceful. After peace, you can think about it, and then you can get it. Things have a beginning and an end. If you know what to do, you will be short. ”
There was a pause. Zuo Xiaoyou said: "This is the content in the first chapter of "University", which roughly means: only by knowing the state that should be achieved can you have a firm ambition; Only with firm ambition can we be calm and not impatient; Only by being calm and not impatient can you have peace of mind; Only when you have peace of mind can you think about it; Thinking about Zhou Xiang can make a gain. Everything has a root and a branch, and everything has a beginning and an end. If we understand this truth, we will approach the law of the development of things. ”
After listening to Zuo Xiaoright's explanation. There was a little more admiration in the actress's eyes: "Teacher Zuo, what you said is so good." ”
This girl heard Zuo Xiaoyou talk about some ancient literary masterpieces two days ago, and she often listened to him explain the characters after filming. I have listened to it a lot more times, and I have a new understanding of some words that I often hear in life, but I don't know the meaning of them.
For example, the word 'girl', she used to think that it was a name for a little girl, and it had no other meaning. It wasn't until I listened to Zuo Xiaoyou's explanation that I knew that in ancient times, girls had to comb two 'buns' on their heads before they were married, separated from the left and right, and stood symmetrically, like a 'girl' word, so it was called 'girl'.
Another example is '50 steps and 100 steps of laughter', she used to be equally puzzled, and after listening to Zuo Xiaoright's explanation, she knew that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the warrior lost the battle on the battlefield, as long as he ran to fifty steps when he escaped, the victorious side could no longer chase, and the deserter would be safe. But another deserter ran a hundred paces before stopping, so the deserter who had run fifty paces laughed at the deserter who had run a hundred paces: "Fool, it's safe to run fifty paces, you run a hundred steps to be a bird?" ”
This kind of words that are very common in life, and even so common that people don't understand the meaning of them, are like a few treasures, which makes this girl who thinks she is quite good in cultural classes ashamed of herself, and then has a strong worship.
Zuo Xiaoyou also enjoys the feeling of being adored by the girl.
This girl's surname is Bai, her real name is Bai Yanyan, it is said that the five elements lack fire, so her parents married such a name, but this name is not distinctive in the entertainment industry, and her teacher gave her the name 'White Coral'.
Zuo Xiaoyou thinks this is a good name, coral is not only a real gem, but also has a lot of medicinal and medical value, much more practical than diamonds, agate, gold and so on.
So Zuo Xiaoyou called her stage name, and because she was older than her, she was called 'coral'.
And Bai Coral respectfully called Zuo Xiaoyou 'teacher', she was really overwhelmed by Zuo Xiaoyou's talent.
"Don't call me a teacher, I'm not as educated as you!" Left and right smiled.
"A high degree of education does not mean a high level of culture." Bai Coral is not a girl who values academic qualifications, otherwise she would not have been admitted to art school. Although not all, nine out of ten art school students ...... It's all scumbag. (To be continued......)
