Ren General Assembly said that he could still hold on for a week, and Gu Bei estimated that it was all false.

Although he doesn't care about the money, as a director, he can see every expense, even if he can't grasp the specific figures, he probably still knows.

Although the crew hasn't had much money recently, there are more than 100 people in the group, plus group performances, nearly 200 people, and the expenses are not small for just three meals a day.

Not to mention......

"Xiao Gu, I also agree to let everyone eat something good, but our current food standard ......"

Ren General Assembly is embarrassed to say some things, but it is obvious that the food standards of the crew of "Know" have been criticized.

Recall that when I was in the crew of "Journey to the West", what did I eat?

Especially in the later stage of filming, during those days in Western Xinjiang, every day steamed bread and pickles, Gu Bei's legs were weak, and until now, I feel sick to my stomach when I see pickles.

The crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" was not much better at that time, and even in order to get some money from the station to improve everyone's food, Ren General Assembly also organized Chen Xiaoxu and others to pretend to be sick collectively.

In comparison, the food of the crew of "Know" is really good, at least one meal a day can be seen with meat.

Gu Bei also knew that when the standard was set, he was a little reckless.

Can ...... now

"Director, the food standard can't be lowered."

Gu Bei said a word and stopped him directly.

It is said that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

The big guy has eaten for more than half a month according to the current standard, and if it suddenly decreases, there will definitely be opinions.

"You haven't contacted Director Ruan?"

"Nope!"

Ren General Assembly looked embarrassed.

The crew invested 1 million in the early stage, and it was almost spent in less than a month after the start-up, and in the past few days, Ren General Assembly has been busy checking the accounts.

Stretching out her hand towards Ruan Ruolin, the old lady must ask where the money was spent.

Looking at what Mrs. Ruan said at the beginning, the money that should be spent must not be saved, but if the money is really spent, that is another matter.

"Director, tell me the truth, the current money of our crew ...... How many more days can you last? ”

Ren General Assembly thought about it in his heart and stretched out five fingers: "If you don't lower the food standard, it will be five days at most, which is still too much, who knows if there will be other expenses in these days." ”

For example, the lighting group needs to replace the light bulbs, the costume group reports the normal wear and tear, and the props group needs to add new things.

This big housekeeper is really not easy to be, he has money in his hand, and every time he spends a penny, he has to check it carefully, and when the money is gone, he has to explain the situation.

Five days?

Gu Bei nodded secretly, similar to what he expected.

Alas......

Speaking of money, Gu Bei couldn't help but sigh.

If Taili can agree, if he pulls investment outside, how can he be so worried.

Looking for money from the outside, it must be Sensei's hope.

Words of sponsorship......

Costume dramas, and there is no way to advertise, even if Gu Bei wants to fool people, he can't open his mouth.

After thinking about it, I still have to stretch out my hand with the stage.

But even if you reach out, you have to take out something.

"Director, I'll discuss with Feng Xiaogang later, change the shooting plan, and when the filming here is over, let's grab an episode first."

Because I wanted to rob Queen Shen's scene, I filmed it for most of the month, and the material was very scattered.

Hearing Gu Bei say this, Ren Dahui immediately knew what this kid wanted to do.

"Yes...... With such a small amount of money, can you shoot it? ”

Gu Bei smiled: "If you can, you have to try!" ”

Stretching out his hand to ask for money, if he can't get any results, no matter how much Ruan Ruolin values him, he will probably have to scold the street.

Anyway, I have to let the leaders see that the money was spent, but it was not spent in vain, it was all used in the right place.

Next, in only three days, the crew of "Do You Know" completed all the scenes on the polo field, which saved two weeks compared to the original plan.

Subsequently, the crew returned to the capital, and all the staff worked overtime to shoot.

If Gu Bei was just grumpy on the set at the beginning, then now he is directly incarnated as Zhou Papi, and the landlords and old wealth in the old society are not as attractive as him.

"No, no, if I continue to toss like this, I have to be trapped to death."

Xu Qing just finished filming a scene, walked to the corner, leaned directly against the wall, obviously tired to death, but closed his eyes, he couldn't sleep.

It feels like it's all about to turn black and white upside down now.

Chen Hong on the side was the same, the teacher of the makeup team was squatting beside her, vigorously spraying powder on her face, trying to cover the dark circles under her eyes.

"Even if the gods come, it is estimated that it can only be like this."

The makeup artist couldn't help but feel distressed when she looked at Chen Hong's haggard face.

But there was no way, Gu Bei, as the director, gave an order that all the work in the shooting plan must be completed in two days.

In order to grab time, Gu Bei even directly divided the crew into two parts, one group was led by him personally, and the other group was handed over to the assistant director.

Zhu Xiaofeng!

Very familiar name.

When the crew of "Journey to the West" first set up the project, Director Yang Jie personally selected the assistant director, and now that Gu Bei is the first time to pick the lead, Zhu Xiaofeng took the initiative to ask Ying to be Gu Bei's assistant.

"Do you have the next scene?"

Chen Hong shook his head, walked over and sat down next to Xu Qing, and the two of them leaned on each other.

"No, the next scene is Teacher Li Ranran and Teacher Wang Qingxiang."

Alas......

"What's going on these days?"

Xu Qing's face was full of doubts, he felt that something was wrong on the dam before, Gu Bei gave people the feeling that it was as if there was a mad dog behind him, which obviously accelerated the shooting speed.

But it's good that it's over there, and it's a little easier at night.

Now back in the capital, I will directly go to the intensity again, yesterday everyone lived directly on the set, and today it is the same.

"Who knows, how Director Gu arranges, we will implement it!"

I have to say that the actors in this year really have no shelf, and they can do whatever they want.

Unlike later, one by one is so hypocritical that it makes people have a toothache, this one doesn't work for a while, and that one is wrong for a while, and the various conditions put forward can make people wave their hands and fan a hundred big mouths.

"I'm either whining or ......"

Xu Qing said, looked at the time, and it was already half past one at night.

Usually by this time, she would have gone to bed a long time ago, but now, there are still two scenes that have not been filmed.

"Okay, that's over."

The actors felt tired, and Gu Bei also stayed up for several days, he didn't bother to stand up at this time, sat on the chair, and shook his body.

"Lao Feng, what about people?"

"Here, here!"

Feng Pants hurriedly ran over, he didn't seem to have any effect, he was still full of energy.

"Director Gu, what do you command?"

After adapting to it for a while, Feng pants are now basically qualified.

At the beginning, Gu Bei said that he would give him a week, and if he was not competent, he would be replaced immediately, and now since he is still doing the errand of on-site coordination, it naturally proves that Gu Bei has recognized his ability.

Although I quarreled with the leaders of each group every day, I did not encounter any resistance to the work.

"Go, let someone buy some popsicles and send them over, eat the spirit."

"Gotcha!"

Feng pants answered, turned around and was about to leave, and came back with an embarrassed face.

"Director Gu, this ...... Money ......"

Since yesterday, the props team has been unable to come up with anything if they want to buy things and ask Ren for money.

Gu Bei didn't speak, he directly took out his pocket, took out all the money in his wallet, and stuffed it into Feng's pants.

"Right away."

With money, it is naturally easy to do anything, although it is already past one o'clock in the middle of the night, Feng Pants still has a way to get anything Gu Bei wants.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Feng Pants to come back with someone, carrying several large foam boxes in his hands.

"Everyone rests for ten minutes, and each group comes to get popsicles, one for each person, one for each person."

When the originally listless people heard this, they all gathered around, just entered April, and it was not yet the Qingming Festival, so it was not the time to eat popsicles, but at this time, who cares if they will have diarrhea after eating, first be happy and happy.

was sharing popsicles, and Ren Hui also came.

"Director, it's all done!"

Ren Dahui looked relaxed, stretched out his hands, and spread it in front of Gu Bei: "It's done, there is nothing left, now we have really become the poorest crew." ”

There was still a little money left in the crew's account, and just now after Gu Bei discussed it with Ren General Assembly, he took it all out and prepared supper for everyone, that's it, the money was not enough, and in the end, Gu Bei paid out of his pocket to make up the difference.

"When will it be delivered?"

"People said that we have to wait an hour."

Wait another hour, and it will be three o'clock.

"Okay! You stare at it. ”

Gu Bei got up as he spoke, but he got up too violently and almost didn't stand firm, but fortunately, Feng Pants and Zhang Li were on the side, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Gu Bei waved his hand, and also took a popsicle, without tearing the wrapping paper, it was directly attached to the door of his head, and it was cold for a while, which made people sober up instantly.

"Tired, aren't you?"

Gu Bei looked at Zhang Li on the side, this girl was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

"I ...... Not bad! ”

Zhang Li also followed Gu Bei's example and pasted the popsicle on the door of her head.

"Teacher Gu, I'...... I'm a little worried. ”

Gu Bei knew what Zhang Li was worried about, it was nothing more than boiling like this, worrying about everyone's body.

"There is one day left, and the whole group will have a holiday tomorrow."

Rest?

Zhang Li was stunned.

If you can take a vacation and rest, why do you have to work so hard?

Gu Bei smiled and didn't speak, even if he didn't want to rest tomorrow, he wouldn't be able to do it, because the crew had no money, and they didn't even have money for food, so how could they work.

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!

"That'...... Would you like to tell us about it now? ”

Gu Bei waved his hand: "Don't say it yet, there is a string stretched at this moment, you said it now, once that string is loosened, how will the remaining scenes be filmed." ”

After speaking, he gnawed the popsicle clean in three or two bites, holding a large piece of ice in his mouth, and felt that his whole body was cold.

"Hurry up and eat, hurry up and rest for a while after eating, and add food to the big guy tonight, one chicken leg per person."

Originally, they could eat popsicles and rest for ten minutes, everyone was already very happy, but when they heard Gu Bei say that there were still chicken legs to eat, they all immediately came up in spirit.

After Gu Bei finished speaking, he went to another venue to find Zhu Xiaofeng and looked at the shots he had just finished shooting one by one.

Group shooting is to rush the progress, but for the quality of shooting, Gu Bei is really relieved.

Zhu Xiaofeng is a veteran director, and his use of lenses, as well as many other conveniences, is completely different from Gu Bei's ideas.

Fortunately, Gu Bei drew all the storyboard scripts during the Chinese New Year, and all Zhu Xiaofeng had to do was to shoot them, and Gu Bei also sent Gu Changwei over.

"No problem, there are two scenes left, you can let everyone rest a little longer, but they all have to be filmed tonight."

"Don't worry."

Zhu Xiaofeng has always been a doer.

"That's it...... Just now, everyone said that they had stayed up for so long and were very hungry, did they find a way to prepare something for the big guys? ”

Gu Bei hurriedly said: "I'm ready, I'll send it over later, everyone has worked hard in the past few days, one chicken leg per person." ”

Drumstick?

Sure enough, the temptation of good food trumps all the act of drawing flatbread.

No matter what ideals you say, it's not as real as a four-happiness ball, not to mention, this is a big chicken leg!

"Xiao Gu, let's ...... But that? ”

It's a fart!

Speaking of which, Gu Bei made a mistake in his original plan, and only thought about grabbing Gong Li's role, and completely forgot about it, and asked the leader for money, so he had to bring dry goods to the door.

Now, the money is gone, and the crew can't even get a finished episode.

"Director Zhu, if you want to go on, you must finish filming the prescribed part today, otherwise, you really don't have to live."

When Zhu Xiaofeng heard this, he felt confused, but vaguely, he also guessed something.

The crew shouldn't be out of money, right?

Maybe there's a little bit left, and it's probably going to be chicken legs now.

"Comrades, cheer up, we have prepared a supper for everyone tonight, one big chicken leg per person, it will be sent over immediately, all departments hurry up and prepare, makeup team, make-up for all actors, camera crew, hurry up and arrange the camera position."

Zhu Xiaofeng shouted loudly, because of the temptation of chicken legs, the morale here was also greatly boosted.

returned to the set, and the preparations were all completed under the control of Feng Pants.

Gu Bei sat down behind the monitor and picked up the megaphone.

"Check again from all departments, let's take a real shot next, the field affairs team, Lao Feng, take someone to check again, don't have anything that shouldn't appear on the scene."

Filming yesterday, maybe I was too tired, but when someone was making preparations, he left the tea jar on the set.

As a result, a camera swept over, and he almost didn't make Gu Bei mad, grabbing the stinky roll of Feng's pants, and after scolding, even Gu Bei felt like he had teeth.

I used to think that directors like to scold people on the set, which is a strange habit.

It wasn't until Gu Bei became the director himself that he realized that the pressure was too great, and he was always in a state of fire all day long, and the only way to vent was to scold.

"Good! After this one, let's keep one more, and the actors are in place, and they will ...... Hurry up and shoot, supper is coming, eat chicken legs after shooting! ”

Some people died, but not completely......
