Chapter 12: No face and no skin

In any one thing, or in a place, if you find fun, then time passes very easily.

As Qiu Di expected, the investigation entered a fork in the road. But what he didn't expect was that he also followed into the fork in the road.

When everyone came, it was the peak of filming, Geng Baolei was ridiculously handsome, Bao Xiaosan was ugly and individual, and he was pulled away by Hao Laiyun the next day, what are you doing?

So the three of them entered the group performance team in a daze, and after a few performances, they had fun.

Shot 1: Bao Xiaosan is dressed in rags, leading a donkey cart, his character is a "coachman" in the thirties, he appeared on camera for two seconds, banged a gunshot, he clutched his chest, blood flowed out of his fingers, and then fell to the ground in pain.

The director stared at the small screen, shouted CUT, and then shouted the scene notes: "Take a five-minute break and come again, the expression is not in place, how can you tell him the play, he is fleeing the famine, there is a head held high and fleeing the famine?"

Similar, it's hard to look like, the deputy director trained Bao Xiaosanyitong, under the threat of deducting money and deducting lunches, Bao Xiaosan agreed, waiting for the effort, he inadvertently licked his fingers, hey, the "blood" Zhennima Tianni, he looked around, the small bottle of "blood" that was ready to be bagged, he tasted it, and then smacked his mouth, the more he tasted, the sweeter it became.

Then something happened soon, and when the props were being prepared, they looked around suspiciously, shouting, "Huh, where is the syrup I made?"

No one said anything, and then he found Bao Xiaosan's blood-red mouth, and he was so angry that he rushed up to chase and fight, Bao Xiaosan ran away, and the people behind him chased him, and the crew was chaotic......

..................

Shot 2: Qiu Di has changed into a new outfit again, carrying Hanyang-made, wearing a homespun cloth, and shooting exterior scenes five kilometers away from the studio. Role: Bandit!

The negative characters are not good, the roadblock robbery was stacked down by a pair of guns and knights, this is actually an old-fashioned story of a hero saving the United States, the knight stacks down the bandits, and the beautiful woman in the car is in love with the concubine, affection and affection, the live recording is silent, but in order to set off the expression, the hero and heroine must have a dialogue, and the male protagonist is half-baked Hong Kong and Taiwan dialect as soon as he speaks: Xiao Zhi (sister), Le's so beautiful. The woman was even more bizarre, and asked directly with affection: If you want to soak me faster.

It doesn't matter if it's filmed, it's not recorded anyway, but Qiu Di, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be a "dead corpse", couldn't stand it, and laughed, covering the "wound" that was still bleeding, and laughed all over his body.

laughed for a long time, and when he opened his eyes, he found that there was a problem, the male and female protagonists, other bandit group actors, plus the crew of photography, directors, props, and scene notes, all stared at him deadly.

smashed another play, how much emotion was wasted, and the director was so angry that he pointed at it, Qiu Di got up and ran away.........

.....................

Shot 3: Geng Baolei buttoned his hat and put on an apron, and became a buddy in Chen Ji's bun shop.

There are only two lines: What does the guest officer eat?

The second sentence is: Come on.

These two lines were said thirty-eight times a day, and the table ran to the kitchen eighty times, and the buns were sour. What's even more terrifying is that there is a big bubble on his mouth. Then he didn't want to play a role with lines, mixed in the group performance pile, played a faceless small market vendor, passerby A and B, or like Qiu Di and Bao Xiaosan, he directly lay on the ground and pretended to be a dead body.

One day raw, two days ripe, three days to call the nephew. The three of them are also idle, and the idlers in the studio are heating up rapidly, and they found out that this industry has really raised a large group of lazy people, and they have a film and television base, the sheep are not herded, the cattle are not fed, and the crops are not planted.

Count and look at it, you know, open a hotel, sell snacks, make a box lunch, work in a hotel, run transportation and pick-up, basically rely on this base to survive, and even the population of the whole town is not enough to put this on it, when it comes to the peak of the season like now, what is to make money, the group performance is not enough, Hao Laiyun roars every day, a fifty has risen to eighty-five, even the second crutch donkey appears, the old man knows how to bargain, and a sentence that is often said every day is: The portrait right of my donkey, the price has to rise.

The three of them are all laymen, and they still have an income of more than 100 a day here, and even one day, Qiu Di unintentionally did a stand-in job, falling from the eight-meter-high wall to the mat, and actually earned 500 yuan.

Have a good time, time flies, and a week passes before you know it.

When it was time to start the meal again, three dining cars approached the outside of the film and television city, hid the body under the city wall, and shouted in the footsteps, and the crews went to the scene to eat after filming.

Qiu Di and Geng Baolei's second brother led, walked to the corner of the wall and prepared to squat down to eat, Geng Baolei touched Qiu Di with his arm and motioned him to look, Qiu Di was happy, Bao Xiaosan was almost with the set of the meal, handed over a cigarette, the man was busy clipping his ear, I don't know how to discuss, in a blink of an eye Bao Xiaosan had an extra meal in his hand, this product was so happy that he ran up, and gave Qiu Di and Geng Baolei a light, yo, chicken nuggets dish.

"It's still better than Chinese cabbage in Jinling. Qiu Di took a piece of it and said with a smile.

After the incident of the Sichuan hot pot restaurant meat dun, the three of them went to drink a drink, and laughed at the past, speaking of which the family is not bad, anyway, it is still right to see the raw customers, but for repeat customers, the service is much better, and the price is also favorable, Geng Baolei remembered the meat dun as soon as he ate it, and asked Bao Xiaosan: "San'er, I see the tone of Boss Wei's wife, you want to recruit a son-in-law, are you not interested in trying?"

"I don't have an opinion, I'm afraid that people won't look down on me. "Bao Xiaosandao.

"Wow. Qiu Di smiled and boasted: "Look, San'er is self-aware." โ€

"Actually, I like Qianjiao, since I know Qianjiao, I think other women can't look down on it. "Bao Xiaosandao.

Geng Baolei smiled and pointed: "That's it, I still know it." โ€

"What's the matter, I can't think about it. Bao Xiaosan was not happy, he thought of Guan Qianjiao while eating, and said that the brothers are here, and it is not a matter to throw Qianjiao in the town, when he thinks of Qianjiao, he thinks of the purpose of this trip, Geng Baolei changed the topic and said: "Hey, what do you say, what should we do?"

Naturally, it's an internship job given by Harman, and it looks like it's coming soon, strictly speaking, it seems that there is nothing to do for others, so I took a few photos that don't hurt or itch, and the rest of the time, I either drank or played in the studio crew.

Bao Xiaosan didn't care, and said straightly: "Don't care about him, just stay if you give money, and you can earn two money." โ€

"This place is so big, and the business model is driven by one industry, so that's it, what else can be investigated?" Qiu Di said.

"That's what I said, but after returning to Beijing, do you still want to do that job?" Geng Baolei asked expectantly.

Qiu Di and Bao Xiaosan glanced at each other, and then said the same two words: "Enough!"

It's really choking, the brothers have a good time here, they are faint from drinking wine and meat, and they have a lot of fun during the day, the work arranged by Guan Qianjiao is perfunctory most of the time, and even they don't know what the value of the food trucks, passenger cars, and those second- and third-rate crews is there.

"What's the hurry, I'll make money while playing here, no matter how good, I don't want to go back. Bao Xiaosan was eating, it must be the truth.

"Poor. Geng Baolei may know a little bit about this industry, he said: "Are you wrong, this line is not a long-term meal, the climate is barely in summer and autumn every year, there are many crews like this, once this season is over, then hurry to drink the northwest wind, do you know how many degrees are in winter here, minus 20 degrees, can you film?"

"Wow, is it so strict?" Bao Xiaosan was startled.

"Idiot. Qiu Di reprimanded, thinking and said: "Yes, but we can only take one step at a time, anyway, we should come to travel for a long time, Haman don't pull it down, play enough and go back to find a job." โ€

"I think it's a bit of a pity, but if you think about it, it's probably a bit too high, and I guess they should have an ulterior motive for sending us here. Geng Baolei said.

"The more I think about this, the more confused I become, our few pieces of materials, except for doing some body work, the rest will be in trouble and stab Lou Zi, there is no use value. Qiu Dihu said suspiciously, he felt that he had vaguely caught something, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was completely wrong. He spoke out the doubts in his heart and asked in a low voice: "You say, could it be related to the film and television base, for example, someone has acquired or invested in something, and did a formal business investigation, but Harman can't find this kind of person, and use our dead horses as live horse doctors." โ€

Bao Xiaosan was just about to speak, but Qiu Di scolded: "Shut up, you are not a dead horse, at most a black sheep." โ€

Bao Xiaosan smiled, and Geng Baolei said with a smile: "I also thought about it, but it doesn't seem right, it won't take a month to investigate here, the things we provide are enough, and the investigation here is worthless at all, and the whole thing will lose money." โ€

"Can't it, it's still a loss of money?" Bao Xiaosan said.

"You are stupid, the filming season is only four or five months every year, and all of them come from small crews, and even local ones, at most they are a grass team...... There is a saying in this industry, if there are no big names, there is no play, it is just a second- or third-tier small crew, waiting to lose money. Geng Baolei said.

"Wow, shoot so much, I'm still waiting to be famous, dare to love is a money-losing goods?" Bao Xiaosan was unhappy.

"Less than 30% of what can be released every year, and there are only a few of them that can become popular in 30%, and most of them are thrown into the garbage heap. Geng Baolei said.

"Losing money and still having someone investing?" Qiu Di was puzzled.

"What if one of them becomes popular? Just like when we apply, most of the time we are sparring partners, just waiting for that opportunity to recruit. Geng Baolei said with a smile.

I don't understand, Bao Xiaosan threw away the lunch box skin, and said disdainfully: "Don't care about him, he can mix it up for a day." โ€

"People have no long-term concerns, there must be near-term worries, when we came, it was the peak period, several crews were crowded together, and they were all grabbing group performances, once the limelight passed, and your job?" Geng Baolei said, I have walked more than I have come in the past two days, and I know by looking at the amount of lunch boxes that there is less than half a car.

It's really a prophecy, as soon as the words fell, Hao Laiyun, who was shy on his stomach, with eight beards, and clothes draped, came to eat with a loudspeaker, and Bao Xiaosan asked casually: "Uncle Hao, is there a play in Ming'er?"

"There are dramas, but there are not so many group performances, you can rest...... That, there will be a performance at the end of the month, and the day after tomorrow will be set up at the door of the hotel, and I have nothing to do to help. Hao Laiyun said casually.

Bao Xiaosan responded weakly, and Qiu Di turned over Geng Baolei, who was smiling proudly, and gave him an evaluation:

"Crow's beak!"

..........................................

..........................................

The fourth shot returned to the capital, Baolong Building, eight floors.

Heavy rain for several days flooded several road sections, and in the afternoon, lightning and thunder outside the window were like the atmosphere of a midnight bell. Tang Ying was intently reading the photos and texts sent back from the front, and for a while she actually forgot about the environment she was in, until the phone rang, she remembered that Xie was coming.

has come, she picked up the laptop, until Mr. Xie's office, when she knocked on the door and entered, Xie Jifeng was changing into rain-wet clothes, looked at the time when he sat down, and said casually: "It's late, the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway has been interrupted for two hours, how about it?"

"Yes, it's very informative, and more than 600 photos have been classified, including people, environments, buildings, and even the scene of the crew scene filmed, which is very unexpected. Tang Ying said with a smile.

Even normal business surveys may not be able to reach this level. After all, in an unfamiliar environment, you have to start from scratch.

"The best commercial spy is ......" Xie Jifeng grimaced and explained with a smile: "They don't know themselves, they are spies." โ€

Tang Ying smiled, this plan was implemented smoothly, and it was more fast and good than expected, and it almost took a few days to cut to the topic, and now in retrospect, it is very correct to find such a team of fritters that are as slippery as loaches, otherwise normal people, in that kind of mixed place, I am afraid it will be difficult to stay for a few days, not to mention that these people have also mixed into the crew to make extra money.

By the way, thinking of this, Tang Ying reminded: "But it's time to remind you, the three of them have mixed into the crew group performance, and they feel like they can't miss it." โ€

"Temporary jobs and long-term jobs, they have a clear distinction between them, let's discuss, what should we do next? For them, I think they should be inclined to guide rather than command, what do you think?" Xie Jifeng asked.

"Surely it should be, I'm afraid they won't be bound by the rules...... How about the money?" Tang Ying asked tentatively.

"Be specific. Xie Jifeng said.

"I'm going to make a video call to affirm their achievements, increase their spending for the next ten years, and then guide them in the direction we need to investigate?"

Xie Jifeng thought for a moment, and then went through the photos accepted by Tang Ying, and browsed hastily, this photo is considered to be the end of the shooting of Tunbing Town, restaurants, hotels, food trucks, film and television cities, passenger flow, and ticket points, which intuitively reflect that special business environment.

"Okay, just do as you say, get ready, the call is scheduled for the evening, it's time to raise the difficulty for them. โ€

Xie Jifeng said, Tang Ying got up, and she seemed to be a little excited to accept this task, because she knew that the business that could be handled by Mr. Xie himself would definitely not be a small amount.........

..........................................

..........................................

Sincere... Sincere... Sincere... Guan Qianjiao knocked on the old-fashioned thick wooden door, but no one answered.

After dealing with it for so many days, Guan Qianjiao has also learned to be polite, she pushed the door directly, but when she entered the door, she was happily throwing the playing cards and drinking, and when she saw Guan Qianjiao coming in, Bao Xiaosan hurriedly put on her pants, and Qiu Di hurriedly put on her gown, covering her bare shoulders.

"Jiao, do you want to drink?" Bao Xiaosan said diligently.

Guan Qianjiao ignored him, now she understands Bao Xiaosan's temperament, people are crazy, the more you ignore him, the more he regards himself as a handsome guy, the best way is to ignore it directly, she said: "You guys are having such a good time, should you forget what you do?"

"I haven't forgotten, why don't you just get some photos, it's all there. "Bao Xiaosandao.

"I really haven't forgotten that in order to get first-hand information, we took the risk of infiltrating the film and television base. Qiu Di said.

Geng Baolei laughed.

Guan Qianjiao didn't expose it, she asked: "It's really risky, it's so hot that I'm about to catch a cold...... Let me ask you, this decade is coming soon, do you think there will be drama in the next decade?"

This seems to be difficult to say, Bao Xiaosan scratched his cheeks, Qiu Di looked at Guan Qianjiao's expression uncertainly, it seemed to be a little ominous, Geng Baolei was weak, and asked directly: "Qianjiao, is there any news, we are not idle." โ€

"Come with me and listen to the next ten...... Be quiet and don't disturb other guests. Guan Qianjiao said.

A few people scrambled their shoes and tiptoed to Guan Qianjiao's room next door, Guan Qianjiao closed the door, closed the window again, closed the curtains, connected to the wireless network, video request, and in a blink of an eye, the beautiful female supervisor of Harman Business appeared on the screen, and she greeted everyone with a smile: "Hi, hello everyone." โ€

Hi...... The three of them greeted each other mechanically, Bao Xiaosan's mind was a little confused, he turned around and asked, "What's the surname of this beautiful girl?"

"Don't talk nonsense, two-way talk. Geng Baolei reprimanded in a low voice.

When the other party heard it, Tang Ying smiled and said: "You are too dedicated to your work and forget me?" It doesn't matter, on behalf of the company, I would like to extend my most cordial greetings to the intern comrades working on the front line. โ€

"Oops, how can people b......lush when they say this" Qiu Di touched his face and muttered, listening to Guan Qianjiao hiding her nose and snickering, the three of them are probably not suitable for praise.

"Last decade, you completed a very good internship report, with a total of 634 photos, which objectively reflected the transportation, finance, catering, public security, housing and other relevant information around the film and television base...... This report is very professional, and Mr. Xie appreciates it very much......"

Tang Ying said eloquently, according to the information obtained in this report, how many restaurants are there, how many lunch boxes are consumed, how many passenger vehicles and black cars are used, how many crews are received for several days in a row, and the number of revenue analyzed is very accurate.

When he said this, everyone looked at Guan Qianjiao, needless to say, this one who sat at home did the most work, at least let the above recognize, the praise was so thick, the three of them all gave Guan Qianjiao a smile and flattering expression, which means: Thank you.

โ€œ...... According to your investigation, the business model here may have problems that laymen can't see, for example, the investor of the Great Northwest Film and Television Base is Huaxin International Travel Service, which is a tourism development company, and the branch is called the Great Northwest Film and Television Tourism Development Company...... Theoretically, the biggest benefit is in the development of tourism-related industries, but the hotel they invested in has not yet been put into use, and, according to your survey, it seems that this company is the one that controls several fields such as catering, accommodation, group performances, and transportation...... Pengcheng Trading Co., Ltd. This may be a business model with Chinese characteristics, investors do not return, and those who benefit do not invest, so the next main target is this one...... Pengcheng Trading Co., Ltd. โ€

Tang Ying pulled out the photos taken by a few people, the unfinished building, the film and television hotel, and the middle-level management, especially seeing Qi Lianbao on the screen, which reminded Bao Xiaosan and the others of the scene where they were beaten on the street, and the most ridiculous Bao Xiaosan also felt that this matter was a bit difficult to do.

Just felt that Tang Ying changed his words and said: "According to the progress of your investigation, I will apply to the company and decide on the fee for the next ten years and increase it to two thousand yuan per person, how about it?

When Bao Xiaosan heard that it was two thousand, he couldn't wait to raise his hand and say, "Yes, there ......."

Looking sideways at the two who were silent, he anxiously said for Qiu Di and Geng Baolei: "Don't worry, they also have ...... They're just a little shy and embarrassed to say. โ€

"OK, then I'll rest assured, the money will arrive tomorrow...... Ladies and gentlemen, I await your good news. Good bye. โ€

At the end of the call, Bao Xiaosan said goodbye happily, and when it was closed, he froze in the air, looking at him, it was a strange look, Bao Xiaosan was stunned, and he asked nervously: "What's wrong?

"That's right, it's just a bit shameless and skinless. Qiu Di said with a smile, he glanced at Guan Qianjiao, Guan Qianjiao always felt that the eyes were too sharp, so she avoided them unnaturally.

Geng Baolei was a little preoccupied, just about to speak, he was pulled away by Qiu Di, and the three of them followed back to the room, when Guan Qianjiao closed the door, he could still hear Bao Xiaosan excitedly sรจ:

"Wow, 200 yuan a day, 2,000 yuan in 10 days...... I can't finish eating stewed mutton with thirteen hairpins every day......"

She smiled, and then the gloom on her face grew, and she seemed to know that the next investigation would bring some unforeseen dangers............
