"The filming location is set in Port City."

"Props, costumes, venues, group performances...... Everyone will give me a plan first, I will understand a little bit of how you plan to complete the preparation, if there is no problem, hurry up and arrange it, after all, we have been resting for a while. ”

"Since the beginning of February, I've been off for almost three months."

At home,

Lu Zhengyi held a video conference with the crew.

After the double pupils were photographed, a lot really happened.

So much so that I was distracted, and I was not able to start the filming of the next drama coherently after the release.

But people always have a life, and it can't really be just work.

"Director Lu, is it really me who will be the leading actor in this next play?"

On the video, Zhang Yuming was the first to speak slightly excitedly.

Except for Xiao Ming in the first play, whether it is a spell or a double pupil in the back, he doesn't have many roles, and they are all just small supporting roles.

Seeing that Yu Li, Chang Zhengwei, and even later Yu Wenxiu and Li Zhenxi in the 'same period' have developed well and have more and more attention, but he is still unknown in front of the media, in fact, he is a little anxious.

"It's not a male lead, this film is a double male lead."

Lu Zhengyi explained slightly, "Xiao Ming, you are holding Li Guoqiang's script, Teacher Chang is Officer Huang Yaozu, what about Teacher Yu, come over a little bit this time to make a cameo, about a few minutes of footage, not a lot, there are other things behind her......"

"Huh?"

Zhang Yuming was a little surprised, "Does Teacher Yu have any other plays?" ”

"Ang, because Director Lu informed me in advance, saying that the proportion of shots in this film belongs to me is not very large, and told me that if there are any new films that I have found, I can take a proper look." Yu Wenxiu explained, "It just so happens that thanks to Director Lu's cultivation, I am still a little famous in the circle now, and many crews are looking for me, and there are still some good books to pick one." ”

As she spoke, she folded her hands and thanked Lu Zhengyi across the screen.

There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed.

Lu Zhengyi also doesn't have a character for them in every drama.

According to the original contract, in the absence of suitable roles, he will not delay them to take on other plays.

It's just that when they are in need, they have to give priority to their crew.

As for Yu Wenxiu, he obviously takes care of it.

After all, people did give up a lot for filming.

Because he didn't go back to consider getting married at such an old age, and his job was not stable, Yu Wenxiu also broke up with his family, so when there was no scene, Lu Zhengyi didn't tie people up and stay in the crew.

When a person reaches a certain age, life or work, there must always be a party to stabilize.

"Then Mr. Li ......"

Zhang Yuming looked at the other people in the camera again.

"Well, I'm the same, I don't have a suitable role." Li Zhenxi explained with a smile, "Actually, I was cheeky today and came over to have a good time, and in the next period, I plan to continue to be a housewife at home for a while." ”

"It just so happens that Ning Ning has also started school, although many child stars are career-oriented, I still think that Ning Ning has to focus on learning first, so that he can have more choices in the future."

"But I'm still on standby at any time, Director Lu can just call me if he needs it."

Anyway, she signed a contract with the crew, and now she has a guaranteed salary, even if she doesn't work, she can have a little money every month, just like a pension.

In fact, there is no need for her to work as hard as before, she has to come back and continue filming.

This should be the end of my life's achievements, and it is more important to take care of my children.

"I definitely don't need it, you just take care of your family."

Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "That's probably the case, I will send the script to you later, and you can figure it out yourself." ”

"Again, everyone writes me an understanding of the role, and if it's not suitable, I may change people."

"By the way, the script of this play, you should read it during the day and find a place with the sun."

As soon as these few words were spoken, many people in front of the camera on the screen laughed.

Especially Zhang Yuming and Bai Wei, these two guys laughed very loudly.

"Director Lu, you underestimate us, haven't you, we've been with you for so long, what can scare us?"

Chang Zhengwei smiled and replied softly.

"Yes, Director Lu."

Zhang Yuming added, "I've really seen ghosts, and I know a big guy like you, it's just a script, what are we afraid of?" ”

"That's hard to say."

Xu Feng is on the computer screen at this moment, there are few people who don't laugh.

He doesn't laugh because he's already read the script.

"I think Ayi is right, you better go to the sun, or find a café with a lot of people, and then go and think about the script."

Xu Feng advised very solemnly.

"Is there such a thing, Brother Feng."

Zhang Yuming scratched his head.

I've seen this real ghost, it's just a script, is it necessary to be so serious?

"But Director Lu, is this script the final script?"

Chang Zhengwei asked more experienced.

Like in the past, Lu Zhengyi often changes the script during the preparation process or filming, so the script he is thinking about now is not necessarily what will be filmed in the end.

"Yes, I didn't change it this time."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "I don't think there's any need to change it." ”

Like in the past, he changed the script to make the content more in line with the era, more in line with the background, and more in line with the ability of the ghosts.

But this one, he felt that there was no need to change it.

You may not even need to think about the marketing plan like any other film.

Because in the future, Lu Zhengyi's three works are the best marketing.

"Okay, then I'll find a café and study the script again."

Chang Zhengwei listened very well and nodded and came down.

"Now it's ...... It's May. Lu Zhengyi glanced at the time, "Let's strive to start shooting at the end of May, if we finish filming like this, maybe we can have another Mid-Autumn Festival." Hurry up and cheer, so that the audience and fans can watch the First Commandment neatly as a family in the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

said so, but in fact, he estimated in his heart that it might be September after the filming, and the post-editing and review would have to be in October and November.

"Are you really going to make this kind of film?"

After the video conference ended, Lu Zhengyi just stretched and stood up.

Behind me, a voice sounded abruptly.

"Dao Chief, eavesdropping on other people's meetings is also stealing company secrets." Lu Zhengyi turned around with a calm face, "Speaking of which, you don't really plan to follow me all the time, do you?" This film, even if it is written very realistically, is just a movie. ”

I don't know when, the door has been opened, and the Guanshan Taoist is standing at the door with a serious face.

"If there really are no ghosts in this world, you can shoot this kind of thing." He persuaded, "But now you and I both know that there are really ghosts in this world, and in addition to ghosts, there are all kinds of strange things. ”

"But what is the reason why you've been hinting at things to the audience through movies?"

"Lu Zhengyi, I may not be better than you, but there are definitely people in this world who can beat you, do you believe it? If you do something wrong, there will definitely be a penalty. Liang Meijuan's matter has a reason and can be let go, but this does not mean that the two of us are together. ”

Some people need to have tangible evidence and be understood by the public when they do things.

Some people don't need evidence when they do things, they do things based on their preferences and ideas, and they don't care what other people think.

Obviously, the Guanshan Daoist is the former.

He felt that this matter was wrong, but there was no evidence, so he could only follow Lu Zhengyi.

"And why don't you want to tell me who the source of the script is." The Taoist continued to ask, "I've checked, your script has no source, and even the copyright is in your name, so ...... Where did these stories come from? ”

Lu Zhengyi walked slowly forward with helplessness on his face.

With each step he took, the Taoist took a step back until he left the door that had been blocked.

The people who watched the mountain were stiff-faced, and they were just there, unwilling to retreat.

His body tensed, as if waiting for something.

"Believe, of course I believe that there will be someone better than me in this world, no matter what it is, it can happen."

But Lu Zhengyi passed in front of him very casually, turned his back to him slowly, and walked down the stairs, "Isn't this path of cultivation broken again and again? While most people think it doesn't exist, a few know it does. ”

"Actually, since I know you, I find that the two of us still have a lot of topics."

"Especially some of your words, I actually quite agree with them."

The mountain watcher had a calm face and followed behind him, "For example?" ”

"For example, your understanding of that ancient monk is that the principles of the ancient times do not occupy the current law."

Lu Zhengyi replied, "Also, we can't look at the problem regardless of the historical background. ”

"It's like in the current history, in the past when Emperor Qin ruled the world, people at that time did not understand what he did, thinking that he was cruel and unkind, not only to destroy people's countries, but also to cut off their roots and erase their culture."

"But in the eyes of our later generations, if there was no Qin State to open the era of great unification, future generations of people would not hold the idea of 'I want to unify this land like the Qin State', but 'Can I unify it?' Such doubts. ”

The mountain watcher hesitated, "...... Are you comparing yourself to Emperor Qin? ”

“…… It's not so arrogant, I just want to express that some things may not be correct at this stage. Lu Zhengyi went downstairs and turned to look at the mountain watcher upstairs, "But in the eyes of people in the future, maybe I'm right?" ”

……

……

"Mr. Li, it's really not that we don't cooperate, we are small-budget movies."

"No, I really don't mean to eat alone. Yes, the market is so big, everyone has money to earn together, and it is really good to be harmonious, but our director Lu saves money, and there is really no need for so much money to make a scene. ”

"How much? Invest one or two million to play? No...... He filmed the whole film, and he may not have your count, if you really vote for it, who should we count on this film. ”

"No, a movie doesn't make much money, it's just barely making ends meet, after all, the company is so big that people are waiting to eat. More money and less share? Actually, it's okay, but Director Lu has more rules. When he was filming, he didn't want others to criticize his films. ”

"Yes, you can't stuff people, have you heard? In addition to this, there are actually some conditions, such as superfluous people can't be present, yes, yes, producers or something, it's really not good. Another example is that if the crew has anything that needs to be cooperated in the middle of the process, such as money, venue, cooperation with the local area, etc., they must cooperate. ”

"Indeed, you understand it very well, that is, you put money, relationships and everything into the crew, and then just sit and wait for the income to arrive as if you don't know that there is such a thing. Alas, the main thing is a matter of trust, Mr. Li, you have to have enough trust in our light and shadow, and enough trust in Director Lu......"

……

Lu Zhengyi looked at Zhang Xueming on the other side of the desk and talked eloquently, and followed the Mr. Li on the phone to say something that was not there.

But it can be heard that people do not accept the conditions.

"One by one."

For a long time, Zhang Xueming hung up the phone and shook her head, "I want to make money again, and I don't trust us, but how can you do business without risk." ”

As she spoke, her tone was faintly and a little smug.

These people called one by one, and their gray refusals showed her vision even more.

Not everyone can be like themselves, discerning and giving so much trust directly before they become famous.

"There's no way, now the crew has too many things to pit investors' money, and not many producers and staff will be arranged to keep an eye on it internally, and not many people will trust outsiders."

Lu Zhengyi's attitude was very casual, "It's like there was a TV series before, and on the grounds of going out to shoot a real scene, the entire crew went abroad directly for a trip at public expense, and I heard that everyone made a quota of at least 100,000 yuan." ”

"Needless to say, those directors and actors directly washed their feet with red wine, and even the producer sent by the investor was bribed."

"If it weren't for the excessive expenses, there would be a bunch of projects to report every day, and people would have directly arranged for individuals to go abroad to investigate, and I didn't know that such a thing had happened."

Several production companies and sponsors, together with more than 100 million projects, directly support this group of people to have fun everywhere.

is over, and in the end, the crew came up with a perfunctory film, and the most expensive special effects were made like a product of more than ten years ago.

And such things are actually not many in the circle.

This is probably an alternative traditional culture.

The 100 million project goes into the public account and only 70 million remains, and the 70 million crew is divided internally, the director, assistant director, and producer...... Take the big head, the actor takes the small head, and the photography group, props group, and venue group are finished...... Eat some miscellaneous purchases, and half of the money that can be used for real shooting can be considered a success.

Of course, the name of propaganda is still a unit of '100 million', and everyone tacitly makes money.

However, if the audience is willing to pay in the end, investors will not really lose.

But under this kind of atmosphere, it has become a matter of course for investors to stop people.

Actors can be plugged, scene notes can go through the back door, props can also enter, and post-editing is not picky...... There are seven or eight factions in a crew, and the books are getting more and more confused.

"It's too much trouble, I don't like to deal with this kind of troublesome thing." Lu Zhengyi shook his head, "All in all, if you can't come according to my terms, then don't divide it." ”

"Director Lu Xiao, there are some things that you can't do if you don't like them." Zhang Xueming was quite helpless, "You were unknown before, no one paid attention to you, and no one thought that this market could still be saved, so forget it." ”

"We all have three popular films, three."

"Actually, you should have seen it recently, the atmosphere is different from before, some people fish in troubled waters and then splash black water on you, like the young man who asked you questions at the interactive scene before, although he claims to be a soul lover, your loyal fan, but no matter how I look at it, it looks like he is looking for trouble."

Speaking of this, she paused, "Of course, it is also possible that I look at people with colored glasses." ”

"This line of work is secretly pouring black water, stepping on one hand, and engaging in too many anti-string operations. Just this year, in addition to Bai Shaoshang's Night Horror, there are two other dramas that will be officially announced to start filming, believe it or not, when the filming is over, someone will jump out and step on your movie, saying good things about them. ”

This kind of operation is not based on the quality of the film, but because of the money.

Lu Zhengyi smiled, "Believe, how can I not believe it." ”

"Your family has been in this circle for so many years, of course I trust your judgment."

"But so what? The audience can judge the good and the bad. As for impression scores, my impression points are earned one movie at a time, and they are not so easy to be defeated. ”

His confident smile made Zhang Xueming a little worried.

"The audience can really tell the good from the bad, but it takes time, and there can be a simpler solution." She tried to persuade, "You lower the threshold for investment cooperation a little, and I will check it for you again and recruit some reliable and less chaotic cooperation." ”

"One, two, three...... Sometimes, the investors behind a film are not just dividends, they can also be used as shields. ”

"It's like if an artist receives enough endorsements, enough advertisements, and enough dramas to be broadcast, then even if there is something wrong with his personal character, there are still a lot of people who will protect him, because once he has an accident, the capital chain involved is too wide, and several, or even a dozen projects will directly fail."

One person, two people, three people...... That's how the umbrella is propped up.

If there is not only light and shadow standing behind Lu Zhengyi's film, but also Tianxing Media, Tang Guo Film and Television, Jiacheng Media, Sunset Entertainment, Tengrui Century...... and so on.

Others don't want to spend money to hire people to step on it, even if they are red-eyed, they don't dare to blush.

Watching people make money, I had to look up and say, 'Congratulations, Director Lu.'" ’

"Ah Ming, actually, we talked about this before." Lu Zhengyi spread his hands, "The last time we talked, I authorized you to buy and sell the online copyright of the spell, and then Shuangtong, didn't we cooperate very well." ”

"You have blocked a lot of things, and a company as big as Xingyu has no benefits under your hands."

"Let's just keep it up."

Zhang Xueming pursed her lips and stared at him.

After a while, she relented and replied helplessly:

"I've already said it, I'm me, and the company is the company."

"I don't have enough qualifications right now, and it's not me who sits in the CEO's seat, it's my father."

"Forget it, since you're so insistent, then I'll do my best."

Although Lu Zhengyi usually looks amiable, he is particularly stubborn in some insistences.

But who has made him unconsciously become his biggest partner now, and he can only try to cooperate.

When the time comes, I really can't cooperate, and my ability is limited, so try to persuade him again.

"That's right, I'm still very relieved of Mr. Zhang's methods." Lu Zhengyi stood up with a smile, "Okay, I'm here to report to you today about the start time, Children's Day on June 1st." ”

"When the time comes, go to Hong Kong City to shoot, if you have time, come to the opening ceremony.

"Of course, if you don't have time, forget it, I see you've been quite busy lately."

Zhang Xueming also stood up, her face was a little tired, and replied:

"It's a little busy, but it's good to be busy."

"You may not be able to participate in the boot ceremony, recently the company signed a self-media blogger began to arrange to participate in some activities, if you really start to invest resources in operations, we have more things."

"But if you need it, you can still contact me directly, and I will basically look at your news every day before going to bed."

As she spoke, she helped Lu Zhengyi open the door to the office.

"You don't have to send it."

Lu Zhengyi looked at her, "If you have time, let's give yourself a little more room to rest, although you are young, you can't stay up like this." ”

"That's not good, you're a big customer of our light and shadow now." Zhang Xueming waved her hand, and after going out, she said disgustedly, "But in the future, can you not say such terrible words." ”

"Horror?"

Lu Zhengyi was a little puzzled.

"Well, some time ago, an employee in our company asked for leave because his friend stayed up late and worked overtime and died suddenly, and he was only in his early twenties." Zhang Xueming led the way in front, and at the same time, explained in a low voice, "I have recently proposed to the company to have a physical examination for all employees. ”

"Oh, that's ......"

Lu Zhengyi replied, just about to say something.

But as he spoke, his expression froze.

"What's wrong?"

He stopped, and Zhang Xueming, who was leading the way in front, also stopped, and turned back with some doubts.

"The employee you're talking about can't be the one over there, right?"

Lu Zhengyi glanced at the sign on the glass door, "Marketing team? ”

At the same time, his gaze was on the inside of the glass door.

At a workstation near the glass, a young man was tapping on the keyboard, working earnestly.

And next to him, another young man pointed at him, and from time to time, he was still directing something, and he could see that he was very excited.

But the strange thing is that the other people next to him didn't seem to see this person's excitement, and went about their jobs.

"How do you know?"

Zhang Xueming leaned closer suspiciously, and followed his gaze to look into the glass.

Lu Zhengyi glanced down at her and took a step back at the right time.

"I've won the lottery, your employee's friend, I'm afraid I'm going to become my employee." He whispered, and then stretched out his hand to listen to this, Zhang Xueming, who was a little unsteady, "You are so weak in qi and blood, you can't stand anymore." ”

"I'm sorry."

Zhang Xueming replied apologetically, quickly stood up, and looked at the employee named Ah Hua inside the glass door with a solemn face.

Next to him...... Is there anything at this moment?
