Chapter 286: Boot Up
It was already dark, and Gu Bei, who was supposed to get off work early, was in the office where he was in charge of the conference, watching the old man holding a calculator and carefully checking a pile of documents.
In fact, there is no need to check at all, there are bills on the financial side, and every money spent is recorded in detail.
But Ren General Assembly was unwilling, always thinking that he could make a little money in it.
After three times in a row, Ren finally gave up, looking up at Gu Bei with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
"Four hundred and thirty-five thousand is gone?"
At this moment, in the eyes of the incumbent assembly, Gu Bei is not even a humanoid creature, and he is alive and well.
Over the years, he has followed a lot of groups, and the most money-burning is "Dream of Red Mansions", which has spent nearly seven million before and after, and during that time, he was so worried that his hair fell out all day.
I learned today that the strong have their own strong players.
Gu Bei's speed of burning money is comparable to that of Wang Fulin.
"Well, it's gone!"
Ren Dahui saw that Gu Bei still looked as he should be, and felt that his blood pressure was soaring.
A few years ago, Ruan Ruolin arranged for him to be the production director of the crew of "Do You Know", but to put it bluntly, let him firmly grasp the crew's money bag, but before he could catch it, half of the upfront investment of 1 million was done.
That's a ......
Forget it, forget it!
The money that has been spent, no matter how distressed you are, you won't come back, but how will you live in the future?
The investment in the whole drama is only 3 million, and now I haven't even shot a single shot, and one-sixth of it is gone.
"Xiao Gu, can't we live like this today?"
Gu Bei could guess Ren Dahui's thoughts, but ......
"Director Ren, some money can be saved, but some money can be ...... There's nothing left! ”
Gu Bei agreed to take on the drama "Do You Know", but he didn't think about making do, although he didn't have much money, but he would rather save it in other places, such as the set, which is absolutely not saved.
Is it like TVB in Xiangjiang, grabbing a dirt bag and saying that it is a mountain, and pulling a piece of plastic sheeting can be used as a waterfall?
Alas......
Ren General Assembly sighed: "What should be spent is the flower, but you also have to know that the investment in our play is 3 million, and so many people in the stage are staring at it, if you really exceed the budget, and then want to reach out to the stage, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" ”
Gu Bei naturally knew that there were no more people in the stage waiting to see the joke now.
Even the colleague who usually has a good face with Gu Bei does not say much cool things behind his back.
But 3 million wants to finish filming "Do You Know", which is wishful thinking.
80 episodes, even if Gu Bei breaks a penny into an eight-petal flower, it is not enough at all.
What if you run out of money then?
It was certain that he stretched out his hand towards the platform, but Gu Bei didn't expect the platform to pay for it happily.
If you really can't do it......
The mountain people have their own ...... Bad moves!
"I know, I know, I have to rely on you to check in the future, Director Ren, the financial power of the crew will all be handed over to you, and in the future, wherever we spend money, without your nod, we won't spend a penny."
Hehe!
Gu Bei's face was full of sincerity, but Ren Dahui felt a toothache when he looked at it.
Although he hadn't had much contact with Gu Bei, he also knew this kid's temperament, looking harmless to humans and animals, but sticking to hair was better than a monkey.
Sensei, what he said now, it's really time to spend money......
Gu Bei is the director, and when the time comes, he will say "This money can't be saved", what can Ren General Assembly do as a production director?
What is implemented in China is the director responsibility system, in a crew, the director has the greatest power, what if he is the production director, he doesn't have to listen to Gu Bei, based on Gu Bei's opinion, it is no different.
When I took over this errand, I originally thought that I would assist young people and be a good housekeeper for Gu Bei, but now it seems that this errand is not easy!
The next development of things, as expected by Ren General Assembly, today Shi Yanqin came over and asked for money to make new clothes, and tomorrow Yang Shuyun will come to take money to make a hood.
is a huge crew, and there are places to spend money everywhere, Ren General Assembly tried his best to save some money, but the money still flowed out like flowing water.
At the beginning, Ren was still discussing with Gu Bei, but later he couldn't help but simply go to Ruan Ruolin to complain.
Ruan Ruolin also found Gu Bei, but every time Gu Bei had a lot of reasons to wait, agitating like a spring, and in the end, Ruan Ruolin could always be said to compromise.
"Lao Ren! You...... It is still based on active cooperation, young people have more ideas, love to do things more seriously, and like to be perfect, we as old people, or ......"
Gotcha!
Ren Dahui also gave up resistance, and left as much as he could within the scope of what he could, as for Gu Bei, a loser, he was really powerless.
Seeing that the 1 million invested in the early stage is about to bottom out, the time has finally come to March 10th.
"Do You Know" is finally going to start.
But at this point, how much money is left in Ren Assembly's hands?
Less than 200,000.
That's it, it's still Ren General Assembly who desperately holds on to it, otherwise, according to Gu Bei's meaning, the pot of flowers would have been dried up a long time ago.
At the first stop, Gu Bei directly pulled the whole group to the dam.
In an open area, the art team had already set up the polo field that would often appear in the story.
The reason why he jumped to shoot was that Gu Bei was also helpless.
The other actors can match the rhythm of the crew, but there is one person who can't.
Gonghuang!
After Gu Bei persuaded Zhang Guoshi that day, Zhang Guoshi was bored in the capital for another week, and then took Emperor Gong to Xiangjiang for the second time.
At the end of last year, Zhang Guoshi made a phone call to Gu Bei, and after participating in countless drinking parties, someone was finally willing to ask the two of them to do serious things.
Led by Gan Guoliang, who invited Zhang Guoshi to Xiangjiang for development, a film and television investment company in Xiangjiang and Guangzhou Tianyi jointly invested, and the famous action director Cheng Xiaodong served as the director, Zhang Guoshi and Gong Huang as the male and female protagonists of "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors" was officially approved.
The start-up time is set at the end of April, which means that if Gu Bei still wants Emperor Gong to make a cameo in his "Know", there is only more than a month left for him.
Gu Bei wants to finish filming all the scenes of Queen Shen in the story in more than a month.
can be said to be a cameo, but Queen Shen has not a lot of scenes in the later part of the story, and it is still a bit difficult to shoot the whole scene in such a short time.
There is no way, Gu Bei can only concentrate all the resources of the crew to rush to shoot first, and he can't delay Gonghuang's future because of "Know".
Gongs and drums are noisy, firecrackers are ringing, dragon and lion dances are danced, and red is hung with colors......
All of the above activities are common at the boot ceremony.
is not stupid to learn from Xiangjiang peers, what kind of three sacrifices to the sky.
If he really smoked his head, if he did this, it is estimated that someone would sue the Taiwan leaders the next day for the crime of propagating feudal superstition.
So, quietly, the first scene after the start of the crew of "Do You Know" began.
The crew came here to film, which also alarmed the local people, and when they were still making preparations, many people had already gathered around.
Fortunately, when Gu Bei was in the crew of "Journey to the West", he had already dealt with things like this a long time ago.
After reporting to the local government in advance, a cordon was set up around the set, and a group of staff in security uniforms patrolled around, so there was no need to worry about anyone breaking in.
"Hey!"
Zhou Lijing shouted, grabbed the edge of the saddle with one hand, and just as the horse galloped in front of him, he turned over on the horse's back, pulled the reins, controlled the horse, and looked at Gu Bei with a smug face.
"How?"
Gu Bei smiled and gave Zhou Lijing a thumbs up: "Bull break!" ”
In the script, Gu Tingye has a lot of shots of horseback riding, with the financial resources of the crew of "Know", it is impossible for Gu Bei to invite Zhou Lijing to have a stand-in with superb equestrian skills, and all the horse scenes have to be completed by Zhou Lijing independently.
Fortunately, Zhou Lijing had experience in horseback riding before, and during the previous training, Gu Bei and Sun Chenxi served as the equestrian instructor of the crew actors.
Of course, who is the score?
Looking at Sun Chenxi, who was galloping on the side, Zhou Lijing was still a younger brother.
Before meeting Sun Chenxi, Gu Bei had never believed that there were actors in the world who were impeccable in all aspects, but now he ......
Needless to say, the appearance is absolutely first-class, and the acting skills are not picked, although he is not from a stereotypical background, Sun Chenxi has his own spirituality, and he can play any role.
Look at the superb skills, you can pick any kind of sword, gun, sword and halberd to play well, and it is not a showmanship, the continuous return to the horse pistol in "Qiao Luocheng", experts can see at a glance, it is a killing technique.
The rarest thing is that such an actor who can be called the pride of the sky is also modest, diligent, and kind in character.
In short, I can't find the slightest fault with my body.
"Brother Jing, you get familiar with it again, and I will shoot the scene between you and Chen Hong later."
Although they want to snatch Queen Shen's role now, Zhou Lijing and Chen Hong are the leading actors after all, even if it is to show their status, they have to be filmed in this scene.
"Chang Viagra, how's it going?"
Gu Changwei's naturally listless face was now surrounding the camera for the final examination.
"No problem, the cameras are all arranged, it's just ......"
Gu Bei knew what Gu Changwei was going to say, after all, he was used to living a good life in Xi'an Film Studio, and now it was really a little difficult for him to adapt to the environment of the crew of "Do You Know".
In the end, after Gu Bei's hard work, the crew of "Know" still got four cameras, compared with the original "Journey to the West" crew, the conditions are much better.
"Chang viagra, on this condition, you ...... Bear with me! ”
Gu Changwei smiled, he accepted the invitation, originally for Gu Bei's face, how can there be anything to be treated, do your best.
"You get busy first, just leave it to me here."
Gu Bei chatted for a few more words, and then went to the makeup group on the side.
Ooh......
Gong Li has changed into a phoenix robe at this moment, and her makeup is basically completed.
It's really beautiful, and the country is fragrant.
No wonder Zhang Guoshi has become a scumbag.
Brother Zhang, this wave of ...... It's not a loss!
Some people died, but not completely......
