Chapter 407: Finally Home
Bai Liu originally planned to go to Hong Kong City for a few months, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, and this time it was half a year.
Approaching the Spring Festival, Zhao Mei's TV series was announced, which means that they can finally return to the capital.
"I'll go back for the New Year first, and I'll edit it after the New Year, and then I'll leave the publicity to you." Zhao Mei specially explained the itinerary to Bai Liu on the plane.
Bai Liu shook his head after hesitating: "I won't come over after the New Year, but it depends on whether there is something to deal with at home." ”
After all, Jelly Bean is about to take the college entrance examination, and she feels that she should accompany Jelly Bean.
The things on the port city side can't be let go, although Robin's side can do a good job, but to deal with some big things, Robin alone doesn't dare - not everyone dares to offend the wealthy.
Zhao Mei glanced at Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan in the front row: "After being in Hong Kong City for a long time, I always feel that capitalists are high and different. But when you look closely, it's not unusual. ”
Bai Liu joked: "It's all two eyes and one nose, it's not as different as you think, but it's just that there have been ups and downs, and it will be more transparent and vicissitudes." ”
Zhao Mei nodded, and talked about the TV series "Orphan of the Wealthy" that had just been filmed: "The actor of Master Lin looks like a god, Hong Kong City is really a magical place, and our mainland actors are indeed a little less rich." ”
Modern dramas in the mainland still focus on filming local TV dramas, which are not fashionable enough, and I have to say that there are more opportunities in Hong Kong cities.
"This time, we are shooting about wealthy families, where villas, clothes and jewelry are very valuable, and they are also on yachts...... Is it overspending? Zhao Mei lowered her voice.
Hong Kong City really needs money at every turn, and Zhao Mei is a qualified mainland director, so she will naturally consider the cost issue when filming.
But when Bai Liu saw it, he persuaded her not to think too much, since they wanted to shoot the life of a wealthy family, it couldn't be too shabby.
Because of the first shooting, it is understandable that the cost control is not good.
Bai Liu cares more about this finished product, and doesn't want to lose a big one because of a small one.
"Yes, it does exceed tens of thousands of dollars, and it is still under control." She did not shy away from blame, "There will be loss in the middle of our shooting, although jewelry and jewelry are sponsored, if they are damaged, they should also lose money." ”
In fact, it is Lu Pingwan's company that provides jewelry, and even related brands and accessories will appear in the TV series, and the villa is also the Song family's house...... But always be clear when making accounts.
Zhao Mei was silent for a moment and took a deep breath: "I see that there is a special props team in Hong Kong City, and we might as well hire a special props master for filming later." ”
It's a bit harder to mess with the truth, but it can reduce the cost.
Bai Liu did not explicitly agree, she was more concerned about the economic benefits of testing the water for the first time, and if it was very good, then she could continue.
It's not too late to think about cost.
"We'll talk about it later, it's understandable that you didn't control costs properly the first time, and you don't have to feel too guilty." Bai Liu comforted Zhao Mei.
"Although the characters in the play are often millions of millions, we don't have tens of thousands of households in the mainland now, how can I not care?" Zhao Mei sighed, "I can't waste it, if you don't have the money to shoot the next drama, or the Song family is unhappy, what we just learned will be useless." ”
Bai Liu was amused by Zhao Mei's words, and in the final analysis, she also cared about her.
"I won't give up halfway, it will always get better and better in the future, even if we have something wrong now, we can slowly improve in the future, no one can guarantee success at the first time." She thought for a moment and added, "You have to be under pressure, don't be too stressed, we are a group, everyone will do their best." ”
Zhao Mei filmed seriously, the screenwriter polished the story well, Liang Zhou was responsible for the promotion of related books, and Robin maximized the value of the TV series...... And she is the overall situation.
Everyone has their own division of labor, success is not the credit of one person, and failure is not the fault of one person.
Zhao Mei breathed a long sigh of relief: "I try to adjust my mentality, I should believe in the good style we brought from the inside, where individualism is advocated, and we believe in the power of the collective, and we will succeed." ”
Bai Liu smiled and didn't speak again, there were some things that Zhao Mei needed to figure out by herself.
The director is the person in charge of a work, and must have a super ability to resist blows, if Zhao Mei is careful or suffers from gains and losses, she is not suitable to be placed in a more important position.
She values Zhao Mei, but she doesn't have to be Zhao Mei.
"Aunt Bai, Mr. Song asked you to come over." Cuihua came to her as the plane entered a smooth taxiing phase.
The two exchanged places, and Bai Liu got up and went to the first class cabin in front.
Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan returned to the capital together this time, and the current attitude towards private jets in China is relatively vague, so Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan came back by civil aviation.
In order to make it more convenient to talk to Zhao Mei, Bai Liu sat in the economy class at the back.
"Dad, Cuihua said you called me over?" Bai Liu looked at Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan, who were sitting side by side.
Song Jingyun nodded: "I want to ask you in advance, when do you plan to return to the Northeast, if we have prepared more things, we can let people send gifts in advance." ”
There should be no less courtesy, so Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan arranged a lot of gifts again.
Bai Liu remembered that she had called her family alone before, mentioning that they would go back to the Northeast together, and deliberately emphasized that this was the intention of her in-laws.
Huang Fenglai screamed at that time, she was not afraid of Song Jingyun or Lu Pingwan, but she was usually used to being at ease, and in the face of her in-laws whose identity gap was too big, she suddenly didn't know how to deal with herself.
She can't say that she won't let her in-laws go over, she is very entangled.
Bai Liu didn't know how to communicate with Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan, she couldn't stop it, so she thought about communicating with Song Jiaying after returning to the capital.
It may be easier for everyone to go back and stay for a few days.
But she hadn't gone back yet, but Song Jingyun came to ask her first with great interest.
Bai Liu said helplessly: "You don't know how cold it is in the Northeast in winter, it's probably not used to it, we may only be able to stay for a few days." ”
This is indeed an objective trouble, the winter in the capital cannot be compared with the northeast, and the winter in the port city is even warmer.
Song Jingyun thought about it and then asked: "Then it's better to take them all to the capital, your house is not big, I bought a bigger courtyard house this year, and it should be completed recently." ”
Bai Liu felt that it was not good.
I don't feel comfortable in my own home, and if I really get to the capital, I'm afraid the whole family will have a bad New Year.
She immediately refused: "There are too many relatives in my hometown, and everyone is used to getting together for the New Year, so it is not convenient to come to the capital." ”
"Don't scare Bai Liu, this person is really ......" Lu Pingwan patted Song Jingyun, then turned his head and smiled at Bai Liu, "Don't worry about him, I want to say that it is better to take your mother to the capital, and go to Hong Kong City in the future, just as a trip." ”
Bai Liu's heart moved.
