Chapter Seventy-One: [Please Eat]
"Your breakfast invitation seems insincere."
At seven o'clock in the morning,
In a hotel near the filming location, Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Xueming both got up early and went downstairs from the elevator together, ready to go out to forage for food.
This hotel does not provide food, only accommodation.
On the mobile phone screen held by Zhang Xueming's palm, in the chat box between them, the last few WeChat messages are very eye-catching.
22:51: [You come all the way to inspect the work, you may not have time to have a big meal, but you can still do it for breakfast.] 】
Then, after some time.
23:03: [Sorry, I have to wake up early tomorrow, I can't get the message back, you didn't say it.] 】
23:09: [Sleeping?] So early? 】
11:31 p.m.: [Looks like you're asleep, so if you get up before eight o'clock and see this message, I'll treat you to dinner.] 】
23:32: [On the contrary, if the time is exceeded, we should have already set off to shoot, and I may have to find time for this meal later.] 】
"It's like a one-man show."
Zhang Xueming put away her phone, "If I hadn't had the habit of getting up in the middle of the night to drink water and reply to messages by the way, I might have missed your breakfast." ”
"There will always be opportunities in the future."
When you got to the first floor, the elevator doors opened to both sides, and Lu Zhengyi stretched out his arm to block the elevator door, "But you went to bed earlier than I thought, is it because you were tired yesterday?" ”
"Speaking of which, when did you go back to the hotel yesterday?"
"I don't seem to see you at lunchtime."
Zhang Xueming glanced at his arm blocking the elevator door, and stepped out of the elevator, "Online work is not as free as I am in the company." ”
"After all, I can't force someone to work overtime with me."
"Yesterday afternoon, your teacher Li Zhenxi accompanied me back to the hotel, as for lunch, why didn't you see me."
Her tone became helpless, "You and Deputy Director Zhang are squatting in the stairwell with a lunch box and talking about the script, how can you see me." ”
"From the moment I started shooting, I didn't see your eyes look at me for a minute."
Lu Zhengyi, who works and lives, is like two people.
When focusing on work, Zhang Xueming felt that there was no one else in his eyes.
But in life, she feels that this guy is very careful, and always does something that makes people feel comfortable and says something that makes people follow the topic.
"I'm sorry."
Lu Zhengyi also walked out of the elevator with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.
Thinking about it carefully, he really didn't seem to pay much attention to Zhang Xueming.
"I still say that work is important."
Zhang Xueming was not angry, "After all, I have invested." ”
"If the employees under me could have this dedication to their work, I might be a vice president by now."
"But speaking of which, you guys finish work quite early, I've heard that other crews usually have to stay up late on the first day of work."
She confirmed the end time according to the time when Lu Zhengyi sent the message.
"Although it is said that usually on the first day of start-up, staying up late is the norm."
Lu Zhengyi explained, "However, our crew is shooting on the live location rented in this old-fashioned community, and in order to take care of the situation of the surrounding residents, our work time is still relatively punctual." ”
"If you are complained about disturbing the people, you will be in trouble."
"Although this will cause additional losses in terms of filming budget, there is no way to do it."
There are so many mouths in this whole group, as well as the money for the venue and props rental.
If the filming schedule is one more day, the cost will be a lot of money.
"Understood."
However, Zhang Xueming didn't grasp this point, she was an investor, and she didn't feel very concerned.
As the two spoke, they walked into a breakfast shop in Canton.
Taicheng is also in the south, which is relatively close to Guangfu, and the taste is quite positive.
The two found a vacant seat by the window and sat down, and Lu Zhengyi handed the tablet for ordering to Zhang Xueming.
As a result, she ordered a pot of oolong tea and two bowls of boat porridge.
"Another shrimp dumpling, siu mai, money belly, rice noodles, pork ribs, glutinous rice chicken, ......"
Lu Zhengyi ticked the tablet on the tablet, and finally, handed it back to the waiter.
"So much."
When ordering, Zhang Xueming didn't stop it.
When the waiter left, she asked in a low voice, "Aren't you people who like fitness generally very strict about diet?" ”
This is almost the end of the menu.
"It used to be like this, and you have to count the protein, fat, and carbohydrates you eat to eat." Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "But don't use it now." ”
He didn't elaborate on why he didn't use it.
Zhang Xueming didn't ask.
Then, she said aloud, "I booked a plane back to Beidu in the afternoon." ”
Lu Zhengyi was a little surprised, "Just inspect for a day?" ”
"One day is enough."
Zhang Xueming tapped her fingers on the desktop, "I watched it for a day yesterday, and I probably understood." ”
"What do you mean by the sentence that "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" is directed by Zhang Yu?"
In a sense, yes. Standing, telling, and camera ...... He's all in command, but it's not like you're doing nothing. ”
After a pause, "At least, if Zhang Yu doesn't speak, others don't know the specifics." ”
"They can't tell if it's you giving instructions for Zhang Yu to carry them out. Or is it Zhang Yu who is the main director. ”
"As long as you follow him carefully, no one else has evidence."
She was afraid that Lu Zhengyi's attitude was casual, and he was doing something like a project name.
But now it seems that he still likes the process of filming.
It doesn't mean that people are not there at all.
Zhang Xueming's words are still relatively straightforward.
But Lu Zhengyi didn't care, "Don't worry, I will definitely follow the group throughout the whole process." ”
"If you need to, I can also shoot the crew regularly every day and clock in to work."
Saying that, he reported the schedule again, "I filmed it yesterday, and the actors played very well. ”
"We expect that the filming time in this rental building will be about one to two weeks, because it is a fixed environment and you don't have to run around, so the time required is relatively short."
"Later, it will be more troublesome to go out on location, and you may have to waste a lot of time and ...... Budget. ”
"Also, does your company have any cooperation on any projects here in Taicheng? I would like to try to communicate with the local leaders and take advantage of some folk activities here to shoot. ”
"In terms of communication direction, I plan to start with the tourism promotion of the city."
Zhang Xueming replied, "You don't need to clock in to work." ”
"Once your affairs are exposed, the impact will be on you and your family, and I believe you will be able to distinguish between the important and the important ones."
"As for folklore activities?"
She was a little confused.
"Wandering God."
Lu Zhengyi explained, "The wandering gods in Taicheng are very famous, and there is also relevant content in the script. ”
"If we say that we completed this clip through scene construction and recruiting group performances, the cost of money is relatively huge."
"But if we can negotiate with some local people, we can shoot on location, not only will the shooting effect be better, but also save money."
He focused on 'saving money'.
Lu Zhengyi personally prefers the former, that is, the shooting effect is better.
But if you negotiate with Zhang Xueming, he thinks that it is important to focus on saving.
"How do you feel, my impression of you is that you are a little money fan." Zhang Xueming smiled helplessly, "Okay, after I return to the company, I will find a way to help you find some useful relationships in this regard." ”
She could also hear where Lu Zhengyi's focus was.
"It's a pity, there's no wine."
A big problem in filming was solved, and Lu Zhengyi was very happy, "Otherwise, I would have toasted you a few glasses." ”
"Xue Ming, I'm a little sorry that I met you too late."
"If I had known each other earlier, I wouldn't have had to work so hard in the last play, and it was really a pleasure to work with you."
It's not, only give money, don't meddle in work.
When people came, they watched silently, and they didn't have to do any welcome ceremonies.
Now, people are still helping to go through the relationship.
It's not so much about investors.
Rather, this is a top-notch logistics group.
"Speaking of which."
Zhang Xueming suddenly realized something, "Every time you invite me to dinner, there seems to be something." ”
"Honestly, if I hadn't seen the news last night, I wouldn't have gotten up this morning."
"Do you still have to take the initiative to knock on my door and wake me up?"
