Nine a.m.

Hengdian, next to an ordinary small supermarket.

Fang Bo has been squatting on the side of the road to observe this supermarket for almost half an hour, and his legs are almost numb, but fortunately, the work of this half hour has not been in vain, and he has finally achieved some results.

According to his observations, the supermarket does not have a high flow of people, and there are very few people who go in to shop within half an hour.

On the one hand, this is because the location of the supermarket is not good, and the street where it is located is not very lively, and it is far away from the film and television shooting base, so it is naturally not popular.

On the other hand, it is also because the scale of the supermarket is too small, covering an area of only dozens of square meters, and the variety of goods is not complete, so it is difficult to attract customers to the door.

But that's good news for Fang Bo.

This small supermarket is not large, it is completely sufficient for filming, and the rent will be cheap due to the small foot traffic.

All in all, it was a good idea to rent it out as a filming site.

Having made up his mind, Fang Bo got up, moved his sour body, and walked into the supermarket.

Entering the door and walking two steps forward, there is the cash register on the left, perhaps because of the scarcity of customers, a young male clerk is sitting behind the cash register playing with his mobile phone, even Fang Bo entered the door, he did not raise his head.

"Hello, is your boss there?"

The clerk's eyes finally moved away from the mobile phone screen, curiously looked Fang Bo in front of him up and down, and shook his head slightly puzzled, "No, what are you looking for the boss?" ”

"That's right, I'm the director of a film crew, and I want to rent this place as a filming location, so I have to discuss it with the supermarket owner."

"Director?" A look of doubt flashed in the clerk's eyes.

The most indispensable thing in Hengdian is all kinds of crews, and he has not seen a director who makes a movie, but it is the first time he has seen such a young person.

Other film directors are still young in their thirties, but this one is good, with the face of a college student, he dares to say that he is the director of the crew, he won't bluff me, right?

The clerk was skeptical of Fang Bo's words, and for a while he fell into hesitation, not knowing whether to tell the boss about it.

Fang Bo guessed his doubts, no way, since he came to Hengdian to prepare for the movie, in just a few days, too many people have doubted his identity, so that he has to explain the situation every time, so as not to be regarded as a liar.

"I'm really the director of a film crew, this is the record announcement information of the movie, you see, this can be found on the Internet. And this, it's ......"

Fang Bo took out his mobile phone and proved his identity to the clerk with evidence.

"Oh." Seeing the real physical evidence, the clerk dispelled his suspicions, "Okay, you wait, the boss should be playing mahjong at this time, I'll call him and tell him." ”

"Hey, boss, there's a director coming to the supermarket, and he said he wants to rent the supermarket to make a movie."

"Well, he's still here, okay, twenty minutes, okay."

Hanging up the phone, the clerk put down the phone, "The boss said it will be there in twenty minutes." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for him here." Fang Bo nodded.

Someone was next to him, and the clerk didn't want to play with his mobile phone as if no one was around, so after thinking about it, he got up and handed Fang Bo a stool, "There is a stool here, sit and wait." ”

"Okay, thank you."

When he took the stool, Fang Bo caught a glimpse of a box of opened cigarettes on the cash register, thinking that it should be the clerk's, so he didn't sit down in a hurry, "Get me a pack of cigarettes." ”

"What kind of cigarettes do you want?"

Fang Bo usually doesn't smoke and doesn't know much about it, so he looked at the cigarette box on the cash register again, and saw that the word "Furong" was written on the box, so he reported it to the clerk.

"Okay, 25 a box."

After scanning the code and paying, Fang Bo opened the cigarette box, handed it to the clerk, and asked casually: "How much turnover can you have in a day in this supermarket?" ”

The clerk didn't want to smoke it, but since someone gave it, he took it, and replied nonchalantly: "It depends, this location is not very good, and it is generally more than a thousand." Sometimes if you are lucky, you can sell more cigarettes and alcohol, but you can have two or three thousand. ”

Maybe it's because of his appearance, Fang Bo is sunny and handsome, and he doesn't look like a bad guy at first glance, which causes the clerk to be unwary of him.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the clerk thought of something again and instructed, "Don't tell the boss that I told you later." ”

Fang Bo nodded, "Well, don't worry." ”

The clerk lit the cigarette and took a puff.

Fang Bo then asked, "By the way, you are alone in the supermarket?" ”

"The boss will come when the goods are purchased, and I am alone when I am not busy, and there is another person who keeps the night shift, and we rotate."

"Well, do you have a place to rest?"

"Yes, there is a utility room in the back, and there is a bed in it, so you can sleep in it after the night shift."

After chatting for a while, Fang Bo finally understood the general situation of the supermarket, and the conditions here are indeed very suitable, as long as the rent is reasonable, it is no problem to rent it for shooting.

"Thank you, come, this is for you." He handed the box of cigarettes he had just opened to the clerk.

"Ah, this." The clerk hesitated and didn't answer.

"It's okay, I don't usually smoke, you can keep it."

"Okay."

……

The two chatted for a while, and the supermarket owner finally arrived on a small electric donkey.

Walking in the door, he first looked at Fang Bo, then scanned the inside of the supermarket, and saw that there was no one else, so he looked at the clerk with a puzzled look.

So young, that's what you're talking about film directors?

The clerk took the things and received the things, of course, he had to repay the favor, and introduced: "Boss, this is Director Fang, he wants to rent the supermarket to make a movie, I heard that he is going to go to the theater." ”

Fang Bo got up and smiled awkwardly.

When chatting just now, he told the clerk that this movie has a plan to be released in theaters, but it is only a plan, and it is not certain whether it can be successful.

However, others have helped him blow the cow out, and it is not easy to expose his shortcomings at this time, so he has to go down and say it.

"Hello, I am the director of the crew of "Nightclub", my name is Fang Bo, Fang of the direction, and Bo of the mooring."

Facing Fang Bo's outstretched hand, the boss shook hands with him in disbelief, "Liu Qiang, Wendao Liu, strong and strong." ”

Fang Bo asked tentatively: "Boss Liu, I don't know what you think about the supermarket rental?" ”

"My opinion, it's not that the supermarket can't rent it to you for shooting, but it depends on whether the price you pay is appropriate." Boss Liu was very tactful and threw the problem back.

From the first time he saw Fang Bo, he was a little suspicious of Fang Bo's identity, he became a director at such a young age?

Although after being praised by the clerk, he barely dispelled his doubts, but Fang Bo was so young after all, he naturally wanted to earn more rent, so he refused to make his own price, wanting to see if Fang Bo would not know how to do it and come out at a high price.

"The rent is negotiable, how about 150 a day?" Fang Bo smiled and gave a number.

“150？ Are you kidding me? Boss Liu's expression immediately became cold, and he almost walked away.

Fang Bo was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Boss Liu, don't worry, it's not too late for you to listen to my conditions first, and then think about it." ”
