Chapter 10: The Feeling of Home
Seeing that Fang Bo was so confident, Boss Liu was curious and wanted to hear what the conditions were, so he suppressed the idea of pulling his legs and leaving, but his attitude was still deliberately indifferent.
"Okay, I'll listen to what conditions you can give, but I have words first, if there is no sincerity, then needless to say, it is better for me to go back and play mahjong than to waste time by listening to people's nonsense."
Fang Bo still looked calm and breezy, and said unhurriedly: "First, our crew only shoots at night, and we won't delay the opening time of the supermarket during the day. ”
Hearing this, Boss Liu's expression softened a little.
There aren't many people who buy things at night, and if you only take up this part of the time to shoot, then there is still a possibility of negotiation, but 150 a day is too low, at least there must be 300 yuan.
"Second, although the crew will adjust the layout and decoration of the supermarket before filming, the main thing is to adjust the rest room, and the business area can be completed in two days at most, and then it can be opened as usual."
Boss Liu nodded slightly.
Well, that's pretty much the same, the supermarket comes in every day, and a day of delay is a loss, so it's certainly good to be able to close down less.
In that case, it seems that it is possible to talk about anything less than 300.
Let's try it out later when I mention 280 a day.
"Third, all the adjustments made by the crew to the decoration of the supermarket, such as the replacement and addition of lamps, etc., will not be removed after the filming of the movie, and will be left for the supermarket to continue to use."
Boss Liu rubbed his chin, and the floor price in his heart dropped again and again.
Otherwise, 240 can be rented out in a day?
"In addition, the crew will compensate for the supermarket items damaged during the filming." After saying the last condition, Fang Bo smiled: "Boss Liu, in this way, 150 is not low, right?" ”
Although his attitude has been relaxed, Boss Liu is not so easily convinced.
"Compensating for damaged items, this is the right thing, but the previous conditions are quite reasonable, but in any case, 150 is indeed too little. My supermarket is a little small, but how can I have a turnover of thousands a day, otherwise how about 240 a day? ”
Before coming, Fang Bo was fully prepared, and asked the truth from the clerk, of course, he would not be bluffed by Boss Liu's words.
"Boss Liu, I waited for you in the store for 20 minutes, during which a total of three customers came, and they only bought one or two bottles of water and left."
"What does this mean, it's almost noon now, and it's normal to have fewer guests." Boss Liu hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself.
Although this sound very reasonable, he didn't wait for Fang Bo to finish speaking before he interrupted, his eagerness could also explain something.
Fang Bo saw his weakness and said with a smile: "Okay, then that's it." But on average, the turnover of this supermarket will not exceed 1,500 a day, and at most, it will only be 50,000 a month. ”
"The sales of 50,000 yuan, excluding the cost of purchase, clerk salaries, water and electricity bills, etc., the net interest rate is about 20%, that is, 10,000 yuan, which is more than 300 a day."
"Boss Liu, without affecting the daytime business, I can give a rent of 150 a day, which is already very sincere."
After Fang Bo said this, Boss Liu swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and he didn't know what to say.
Now he finally completely believes that the young man in front of him is a film director, not to mention anything else, this bargaining skill is really powerful, and it is reasonable, there is no way to refute it.
"Okay, Director Fang, I'm convinced. 150 is 150, I agree. ”
After reaching an agreement, Fang Bo quickly signed a contract with Boss Liu.
Half of the filming location was done, and the layout of the store was readjusted.
That afternoon, Fang Bo signed contracts with all the actors who passed the audition, and then sent them the script. While the supermarket renovation still needs a few days away, they can familiarize themselves with the script.
……
In a blink of an eye, it was February 20th.
In the past few days, Fang Bo has found a suitable photographer and makeup artist, as well as staff members with other positions such as scene notes.
It just so happened that the decoration of the supermarket was completed, and some of the props needed for filming had been prepared, so the preparatory work for "Night Club" was completed, and the movie finally reached the official start date.
At 6 p.m., inside the Fuyuan Hotel.
Because the filming is all night scenes, the start-up banquet is scheduled for dinner.
A total of more than ten members of the crew of "Night Club" arrived, everyone sat at two tables, and Fang Bo chartered the hotel, so there was no one to disturb, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Fang Dao'er, the dishes are all ready, and you can start." Boss Zhang of the restaurant brought the last dish to the table.
Fang Bo poured a drink into his cup, stood up, and said in a loud voice: "After eating this meal, we will officially start the machine, I hope everyone will work together to strive for all the best." I have to film tonight, so I won't drink the wine, and when the finale banquet comes, everyone must drink enough! ”
With that, he raised his glass and drank it down.
"Woo, turn on the machine!"
"All the best!"
"Turn it on."
The crowd shouted in response.
Boss Zhang was also infected by this atmosphere, and came to Fang Bo's side with wine, "Director Fang, you can't drink alcohol if you want to film, I don't care." Come, I toast you and wish you a successful shooting! ”
As soon as he tilted his neck, a glass of wine instantly entered his stomach.
"Boss Zhang has a lot of alcohol!"
Xu Hongsheng on the side gave him a thumbs up.
Fang Bo raised his glass, "Boss Zhang, I'll replace it with a drink today, the crew's finale banquet must still be held in Fuyuan Hotel, and I will definitely accompany you to have a drink at that time." ”
"Okay, no problem." Boss Zhang smiled happily, and his fat face was happy.
As soon as Fang Bo put down the cup, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and after looking at it, this call could not be answered.
"You eat first, I'll answer the phone."
Pushing the door and walking outside, the temperature difference between inside and outside made him hurriedly wrap his coat tightly.
"Hey, Dad."
"Didn't your movie start today, your mother can't let go, so she has to ask me to call you."
Sichuan Province, thousands of miles away, in the small county town of Fangbo's hometown.
Hearing Fang's father say this, Fang's mother on the side threw him a roll of his eyes, "You are here again, every time you talk about calling your son first, but as soon as you connect, you push it on me." ”
Fang's father covered the receiver of his mobile phone, raised his chin at his wife, and signaled her not to disturb him.
Hearing the familiar voice from the mobile phone, Fang Bo, who was in Hengdian, couldn't help laughing, and his father, who didn't expose his duplicity, said with a smile: "Well, it's officially filmed tonight, and now I'm holding a start-up banquet." ”
"Oh, that's fine. I don't understand movies either, anyway, you just have to film well, don't worry about the family, I'm fine with your mother. ”
"Well, you also pay attention to your body, it's just spring, and the temperature hasn't warmed up yet, don't catch a cold."
"Okay, then I'm going to play chess, eh, I haven't finished talking yet."
Halfway through Fang's father's words, Fang's mother's voice appeared on the phone, "Your father is like this every time, he wants to call you for a long time, but he just connected, and he will hang up again without saying a word." ”
Listening to his mother count down his father, the corners of Fang Bo's mouth couldn't help but rise.
It's great, that's what it feels like to be at home.
"Hengdian is not cold, you didn't take a few more thick clothes, is it enough to wear?"
"Mom, don't worry, you packed two big suitcases for me, and I have enough clothes."
"That's good, by the way, is there enough money? If it's not enough, just tell us, don't hold on. ”
"Yes, there's a lot left, it's enough."
"You said that you too, making a movie is all done at night, and you have to stay up all night every day, how tired you are, you can't change the script."
"That's how the plot is designed, and I can't change it casually."
"You're not a director."
"Mom, the director is not omnipotent, you can't change the script casually."
……
After a phone call, 20 minutes had passed.
Fang Bo put away his phone and let out a long breath, and once again strengthened an idea in his heart.
Parents are so supportive, you have to work harder, you can't let them down!
