Chapter 4: [Everyone is a Man]
"Oh, Director Lu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"When I talked to Brother Yiyong on the phone last night, I accidentally mentioned it, but I really didn't expect that you didn't discuss it with him when you made a horror movie."
"Then let's make this movie, are we still making it?"
"He didn't embarrass you, did he?"
"If you want me to say, why don't you settle the fee for everyone, and then go back to your dad for a while, even if it's a gangster with qualifications."
Early in the morning, Lu Zhengyi had just come downstairs to the hotel lobby and wanted to order something to eat, when he saw the bald deputy director Zhang walking with his hands together.
He shouted as he walked.
The loud voice was heard by many people in the shouting hall of the crew.
All of a sudden, many people's faces changed.
Including the male and female leads, Yu Li and Chang Zhengwei.
Lu Zhengyi didn't miss the change in the faces of the others, and secretly cursed.
Then, calmly he stepped forward and said:
"What's there to be embarrassed about, what can't we father and son say."
"I just didn't want my father to worry, so I didn't tell him."
"I, as a son, want to learn to be independent, how can he not support him as a father?"
This explanation made the faces of some people in the crew a little softened.
Although, they are paid.
But with a crew of two or three kittens, who is staring at that little salary?
It's not all for the name of 'Director Lu Yiyong's son'.
Everyone wants to be familiar with each other, and when they inherit their father's business in the future, they can remember themselves.
But if it is a project that director Lu Yiyong opposes, then it will be meaningless for this crew to stay.
"Also, what kind of grudge is there between father and son?"
Deputy Director Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll rest assured." ”
"I'm still afraid that a casual remark will cause trouble for Director Lu and harm the crew."
"Well, by coincidence, I contributed to the ...... of your father and son."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhengyi had already approached, stretched out his thick arms, and hugged his shoulders, "Director Zhang, let's go, let's go have breakfast together, and talk about the next shooting process by the way." ”
"Hey, Director Lu, I've already eaten it." Deputy Director Zhang smiled, only to feel that his right shoulder seemed to be pressed by a hard stone, so uncomfortable.
Lu Zhengyi lowered his head and glanced at him, "Then eat again." ”
As he spoke, he reminded in a low voice, "Director Zhang, I can remind you of one thing." ”
"You call me dad, and you are honored as a righteous brother."
"And when I call him, I call him Old Lu, and I call him Father. Are you looking for him to sue me too highly? Who in the court sued the officer? ”
Deputy Director Zhang's face froze.
Then, his two legs unconsciously followed the strength of his shoulders and moved.
"Lu, Director Lu, I really didn't sue."
"Brother Yiyong asked me how you are doing, so I chatted with him about the progress of the shooting, and he knew."
"I really didn't know it. Besides, I've been busy with the crew for so long, and I see that the filming is about to be finished, so now I'm going to report you? What do you think I'm trying to do? ”
As he walked, he explained in a whisper.
This man in his forties was like a little quail when he was held by the tall Lu Zhengyi on his shoulders and pushed away.
"You're old fool, aren't you?"
Lu Zhengyi frowned, "When the crew was preparing, I specifically told you not to contact my father casually. ”
"This movie, I want to do it alone."
"At that time, you gave me a toast and praised me for being young and independent."
He planned to make a horror movie without telling his old man, how could he not inform Deputy Director Zhang.
The rest of the crew didn't have that way to contact Lao Lu, but this assistant director has been in the circle for decades, but he can still get in touch if he wants to.
The smile on Deputy Director Zhang's face was even more ugly, he really forgot about this matter.
The crew was preparing, and it was more than two months ago.
Later, the actors were selected, the filming location was selected, and the filming was officially launched...... There are so many big things, such trivial things, who will remember them.
Well, someone will remember.
It's just that I didn't care about this kid at the time, so I didn't remember or listen carefully, and only said all kinds of scenes.
"Lu, Lu Zhengyi, I can warn you, it is illegal to beat someone!"
"There are so many people in this hotel lobby, do you still want to do it in public?"
"In addition to people, there are so many surveillance recordings!"
Deputy Director Zhang was pushed away and warned sharply.
How can he, a perennial socializer, be able to withstand the strong and strong Lu Zhengyi?
"Hit you? What nonsense are you talking about, Deputy Director Zhang, it's illegal to beat someone! ”
Lu Zhengyi forcibly pushed this deputy director to the restaurant, found a vacant seat, sat down, and said in a deep voice, "I know what you reported me, what is the picture, what about me, I also know that you don't look down on this book." ”
"You rushed into the gang just for me."
"But as soon as the crew was set up and the camera was turned on, I was exposed, from the scheduling on the set to the actual shooting, a lot of the shooting work is done by you, the assistant director."
"And I, I won't do anything, but you don't want to offend me, or you don't want to offend my father, so you can only endure it, thinking about leaving after the relationship."
"As a result, I scolded you a few days ago, and I got started. You don't want to have a relationship with me anymore, but you want to take my father's line by reporting me, don't you? ”
Glancing at the surrounding monitors, Deputy Director Zhang listened to this, but he didn't need Lu Zhengyi to call, he sat down opposite.
He wanted to hear it a little longer.
"What? You think I'm going to apologize to you? ”
Lu Zhengyi glanced at him, took out a tissue to wipe the table, and smiled, "You, a forty-seven-year-old person, were reprimanded like this by me, a twenty-six-year-old person, and I can understand the resentment, but I said it, I have put up with you for a long time." ”
"You show off your power on the set, reprimand this shot is not well placed, and reprimand the actor's expression is not vivid enough, I can bear it, after all, this is all for the film."
"But, if you have to touch my bottom line, you have to make the set a miasma, and you ask people to come to your room at night to talk about the play, and you have dinner with you, what kind of entertainment club do you really think this is?"
But he changed his words and said something that Deputy Director Zhang didn't want to hear.
This kind of thing, you know it, you know it, why do you still take it out?
His face showed a little dissatisfaction, but because of the family background and muscles of the kid sitting opposite, he didn't show it too thoroughly.
"You don't know the current atmosphere in the entertainment industry."
"In the past, the film was filmed, but it couldn't pass the review, and everyone was worried together."
"But what's going on now? The film has been filmed, reviewed, and finalized, but what is the result? Someone in the crew had an accident, the film was directly locked, all the money was lost, and investors were worried. ”
Lu Zhengyi threw the tissue into the trash can and rubbed his palms, "This drama is my first film, and there are no investors. ”
"As for the money, I basically paid out of my own pocket."
"If this is a waste, I must be very distressed, so in addition to filming, I also pay attention to the atmosphere on the set."
As he spoke, he waited for his breakfast, "Everyone is a man, what are you thinking in your heart, I know what is secretly going on in this circle, and I also understand." ”
"But it's probably past the age when I like to think with my lower body, and I like career, or filming, more than these."
"About this, Deputy Director Zhang, you should understand, I don't believe it, after so many years of mixing in various crews, can you not have the heart to shoot good works?"
