Arakawa District,

A house built far from the city was chosen as the main location for the filming of the curse, that is, the 'home of the coconut', the source of the curse.

One family building is a more common architectural style in Heguo, one building per family.

The floors are usually two or three floors, and there will be a small yard, and even some of the more expensive houses will have a parking garage, which is ideal for a small family with a population of five to seven people.

For example, the classic anime of the country, the home of the protagonist in Doraemon, and the home of the protagonist in Crayon Xiaoxinli, are all of this type of house.

It is somewhere between a bungalow and a small western-style house in the Tang Kingdom, a bit like a villa, but not as luxurious as a villa.

In Wakoku, it is extremely common for a single household to be called a 'private house'.

As one truck after another stopped in front of the house, one after another crew members were moving out of the props and equipment one by one, and transporting them into the house for placement and arrangement.

In terms of human hands, it is a bit insufficient.

"Director Lu, it's me who didn't think it through."

Bai Wei wiped his sweat while trotting towards Lu Zhengyi next to the truck, "Originally, I thought that the main shots of this book were only in this building, and there were very few exterior scenes, so the manpower only called people from our crew to come over, but now it seems that ...... It doesn't seem like enough. ”

Inside the wagon, the two of them were laboriously pushing a large wooden box to the door.

Lu Zhengyi opened the wooden box and looked inside, and asked, "Then how do you solve it?" ”

His voice was calm, not showing any emotion because of the misarrangement, just asking for a solution.

"This ......"

Bai Wei stood beside him, hesitating for a moment, "Otherwise, we are recruiting some temporary workers on Heguo's side, right?" ”

At present, there is not enough manpower for unloading and arranging.

But for the shooting arrangement in the back, the manpower should be just enough.

"Temporary workers? No way. ”

Lu Zhengyi confirmed that the stone statue in the wooden box was intact, closed the wooden box again, and turned his head to look at him, "Is there any other way?" ”

"Yes, you said you wanted to expand the size of the crew, so we have been in contact with some people we have worked with before." Bai Wei faced his gaze and replied nervously, "This time the role is on the side of Heguo, and the actors must not be used." ”

"But some people behind the scenes can still be called."

"But it's ...... in terms of funding"

Calling people from the country who had previously been invited to the group chat with temporary workers can of course replenish the staff.

However, visas, air tickets, and hotels are more troublesome to arrange.

These arrangements take time, and when the money is spent and people are called over, the work here may be done.

In terms of actual shooting, there is not much shortage of manpower.

Isn't it a waste of money to invite someone to come here to fish?

Lu Zhengyi looked at him, shook his head helplessly, and asked, "Ah Wei, do you think a company should pay employees wages during the internship period?" And it is in the case that the employee has not yet adapted to the working environment and has not yet been able to bring benefits to the company. ”

Although Bai Wei was a little surprised why Director Lu suddenly asked this question.

"As far as I know, teachers, nurses, doctors, lawyers...... For this type of work, there will be no pay during the internship period. ”

"But if you use a normal enterprise company, you will pay the intern employees."

"Even if they don't bring benefits to the company, and some positions still have a long training period, but they are generally paid, just a little less than regular employees."

But he was still honest.

"That's it."

Lu Zhengyi patted him on the shoulder, "Ah Wei, although your position in the crew is still a scene record, since Deputy Director Zhang is sick, many trivial chores in the crew are also arranged by you. ”

"It's like filming after a while, you can't expect everyone to not get sick and take leave, right? A few months of filming is not a short time, and during this period, most people will take leave for some reason or another. ”

"If you don't have enough manpower and then think about replenishing manpower, it will delay the filming schedule, so you have to think about it in advance. Besides, we are not only looking for them to work, but we also value their work ability and plan to recruit them into the group. If they can pass the assessment, I think it's worth the cost. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the wooden box with one hand, "Also, after a while, the income of the First Commandment should also enter the settlement period. ”

"Your contribution to the last drama is second only to Xiao Ming and Teacher Chang as the leading actors, and the bonus is at least seven figures. It was my first time directing independently, and all aspects of the arrangement were relatively trivial, but you did a good job, and you worked hard for you. ”

Seven figures, at least a million.

According to the 'deed of sale' they signed at the beginning, Lu Zhengyi will distribute 10% of his personal income as a bonus to the rest of the crew after the income of each drama enters the settlement period.

And how to divide it is up to him to determine the share of each person's work during the filming process.

The box office data of the First Commandment is not very good on the side of Heguo, but it has been released for three months in Tangguo, and the data has been rising.

Because of Zhang Yuming's variety show publicity, because the time is New Year's Day and the Spring Festival, because Lu Zhengyi won a rookie director award with a horror film...... All sorts of reasons are pushing this film forward and making it appear in front of the audience.

So the box office data of this film once again refreshed Lu Zhengyi's personal box office record.

Even if it is with the theater party, light and shadow, and tax ...... After all aspects are divided and paid, just one percent, they can get at least 40 million base bonuses.

There are dozens of people in the crew, and everyone can start with one million in the average distribution.

And if it is distributed according to the degree of contribution, some people will get more.

"Thank you, thank you Director Lu!"

Hearing Lu Zhengyi's words, Bai Wei was stunned at first, and then thanked excitedly.

"Let's do it."

Lu Zhengyi replied with a smile, carrying the wooden box and walking towards the house.

He wasn't going to prepare for the start-up ceremony, but the stone statue that used to be a mascot had another purpose before it was turned on.

And behind him, Bai Wei looked at Lu Zhengyi's back and couldn't speak for a long time.

On the one hand, he made an amount of money that he had never thought of in the first half of his life.

But the main aspect still feels that Lu Zhengyi attaches great importance to him, which is much more important than money.

……

"Just put on the pillar incense?"

In the courtyard of the house, in one of the rooms, Chen Junsheng, who had been waiting a little impatiently, asked with incense in his eyes after seeing Lu Zhengyi take out the stone statue and put it on the wooden table.

"Yes."

Lu Zhengyi nodded.

And in the room, in addition to the two of them, Ah Yong, Liu Baoning, Yu Wenxiu and Wang Xiaoxu are all there, they are all waiting.

Even, Lu Zhengyi used his mobile phone to make a video call.

On the other side of the video, the people who watched the mountain were also waiting for Chen Junsheng's movements.

"That'...... Is there a lighter? ”

And Chen Junsheng stood in front of the stone statue for a while, and then turned his head to look at them in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I've quit smoking for a long time." ”

"No, I don't have to."

Lu Zhengyi replied, "You can take the incense and ask sincerely." ”

“…… Can He eat it? ”

Chen Junsheng's face was full of doubt.

However, he turned around obediently and began to ask seriously.

After all, there are so many high-ranking people in this room, and it is really a little too reassuring to revolve around him alone.

But soon, Chen Junsheng sensed that something was wrong.

When he closed his eyes and began to sincerely ask for exorcism, he suddenly smelled a fragrance between his noses.

Chen Junsheng couldn't help but open his eyes, but the incense in his hand didn't know when, but it began to ignite.

And the speed of burning was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, only a short piece of wooden stick was left in the whole incense stick that he held in his hand.

And the smoke that floated up did not disperse, but drifted towards the stone statue as if it were being pulled by some kind of tug.

Immediately after, under Chen Junsheng's helpless gaze, the stone statue seemed to come to life, sucking the smoke, and in the blink of an eye, the mist was sucked clean.

And then, there was no then.

Chen Junsheng looked at this scene blankly, this stone statue was like only collecting money and not working.

smiled at the incense he offered, and did not react again.

I didn't say, glow, or come back to life or something.

And Chen Junsheng didn't notice that there were any subtle changes in his body, what blessings to his soul, a sudden relief all over his body, or wanting to spit out the evil in his body, no, nothing, nothing happened.

"That's it?"

Chen Junsheng once again turned his head blankly and looked at the masters behind him.

He swept over their faces one by one, a stout and burly man, an ordinary young boy, a beautiful and charming mature woman, a cute and well-behaved little girl, a plush black cat, and the only one in the video who looked a little tall.

On these faces, at this moment, they are no longer the calm they were just now.

"The black gas has dispersed."

Liu Baoning was the first to speak.

"Just now, some black gas floated above the old man's head."

She blinked and looked at the others, "It's strange, I didn't notice it before." ”

"Huh? Black gas? ”

Chen Junsheng, who was called the old man, hurriedly raised his head, but he couldn't see any black gas.

"It did smell bad just now."

Yu Wenxiu wrinkled her nose, a little uncomfortable.

"Meow."

On the side, Ah Yong also screamed, indicating that he also smelled it.

"Uncle Sheng, the things on your body should have been settled."

If you are not afraid of reacting, you are afraid of not reacting.

However, Lu Zhengyi said, and looked at the mountain viewing chief in the video, "Dao Chief, can the source of this situation be found?" ”

"According to what Ning Ning said, there are just a few wisps of black gas, how can I check this."

Guanshan Taoist shook his head in the video, "If we are in China, we use some scientific means to check the itinerary of the year and check the records of the year, we may be able to find something, but this is abroad, there is no way." ”

"What about non-scientific means?" Lu Zhengyi held his mobile phone and asked, "Isn't it useful for you to give that talisman, if it is useful, then your Daomen doesn't have any tracking charms, exploration, and search spells?" ”

He began to be a little curious about some objects, cultures, and folk customs in this world.

Obviously, it looks very ordinary, but when you encounter something unscientific, it really works.

The boys are like this, the amulets are like this, the stone statues are like this.

The Taoist of Guanshan held back in the video for a long time, and held back a sentence, "...... No. ”

Lu Zhengyi looked at him and became even more curious.

He turned his head to Chen Junsheng and said a few words, then took his mobile phone and left the room.

Anyway, the matter has been solved, and there is no way to find the source, after all, it was all decades ago.

Maybe the people behind it are all dead.

As soon as Lu Zhengyi left, Ah Yong followed.

"Teacher Chen, talisman."

Yu Wenxiu walked in front of Chen Junsheng, raised his hand and wanted to get the talisman back.

"That...... Miss Yu, do you have any plans to sell this thing? ”

Chen Junsheng listened to their narration, and although he understood that the matter might have been resolved, he still pinched the talisman and wanted to stay.

"I'm willing to pay whatever it takes."

He said seriously, "And you're a cultivator, this ...... You're not afraid of these things. ”

"Teacher Chen, the value of this thing is no longer something that money can measure."

Yu Wenxiu smiled politely, "Moreover, I'm not so short of money, money, it's just enough." ”

I have to say that after becoming a cultivator, she also slowly began to let go of the weight of the 'money' thing.

Maybe an award for Best Actress makes her care more than money.

Of course, the kind of awards that money can buy without a little gold content don't count.

Hearing her say this, although Chen Junsheng was a little reluctant, in the end, he still didn't play any elder tricks, and honestly returned the things to others.

"Teacher Chen, it's okay to put the stone statue here."

Yu Wenxiu took back the talisman and nodded politely at him, "When you turn on the machine after a while, you will need it." ”

After speaking, she took Liu Baoning and left.

There was only one person left in the room.

"Really, in this crew, I feel like I'm back in the back of when I wasn't famous."

Chen Junsheng shook his head and said melancholy.

He didn't feel the importance and respect that he should enjoy as a senior.

Obviously, when those people in Heguo saw him, they all nodded their heads, but these people in the plum civet crew were very bland.

But he can understand it.

"The ......"

But at this time, a voice came into Chen Junsheng's ears and startled him.

When he turned his head, he realized that there was another 'person' in the room, standing in the corner.

"Can you sign for me?"

The young man who had a very low presence in the crew, and on the way to Heguo, Chen Junsheng had basically never seen him, was looking at him with blank eyes, "Mr. Chen, I grew up watching your movies, and I am a very loyal fan." ”

"Hey, finally someone has found out about my status."

Chen Junsheng looked at him in surprise, "No problem, you want to sign a few, wrap it on me, what's your name." ”

He even took the initiative to leave the house and brought pens and paper with the others who were moving things outside.

Absolutely, when do you have to bring your own paper and pen to sign your own name, and you are so happy when you are done.

"My name is Wang Xiaoxu."

Wang Xiaoxu stood in front of him and hurriedly reported his name.

"Then I'll write one, thank my most loyal fan Wang Xiaoxu for his support all the way."

Chen Junsheng wrote on the white paper with a smile, and then signed a big name, "By the way, so what kind of cultivator are you?" ”

While signing, he also asked, "That Ning Ning just now was used to see, and her eyes are more special." ”

"Teacher Yu and that black cat are smellers, and their noses may be more smart."

"What about you?"

Wang Xiaoxu scratched his head in embarrassment, "Me? I didn't notice anything, just now, that's why I haven't spoken. ”

"That guess you haven't had enough time to practice, right? Don't be discouraged, lad, it's not easy for you to have such an opportunity. ”

After a long absence, he was taken seriously, and Chen Junsheng spoke familiarly, looking kind, "You seem to like to use inverted sentences, are you from Shancheng?" ”

"No, I'm from Chongcheng."

was accosted by Chen Junsheng, who has been admired since he was a child, Wang Xiaoxu was very flattered, "You, you yourself look more handsome than on TV, and you are still very young, not at all like a seventy-year-old person, but more like a person in his early forties." ”

"The first time I watched your movie, it was like you looked like this."

"After all these years, you are still the same as before, you haven't changed."

"Actually, I don't have much maintenance, but I always pay attention to exercise." Chen Junsheng smiled and waved his hand, "But you, a young man, can speak, and you will definitely have a great future in the future." Come on, sign it. ”

As he spoke, he handed the paper to Wang Xiaoxu.

"Thank you!"

Wang Xiaoxu gratefully took the blank paper.

Since returning home and experiencing another catastrophe, he has now learned to turn from virtual to real and can touch things.

"Need a group photo?"

Chen Junsheng said very enthusiastically.

Signed group photos have always been matched.

finally met an enthusiastic little fan of his own in the crew, and Chen Junsheng tried his best to meet the requirements of being a fan.

"This, this one is not needed."

But unfortunately, Wang Xiaoxu refused.

"It's okay, you're welcome." Chen Junsheng greeted him, "Take out your mobile phone, let's take a group photo, and when the time comes, you can post it on Weibo, post it on some public platforms, which will be very helpful to your future work." ”

This is not his boasting.

With his influence, as soon as this young man's Weibo is posted, he will forward it again and interact with it, not to mention anything else, the attention and fans will rush up, and there will even be spontaneous media reports on this matter.

"No, no, no, I'm not embarrassed." Wang Xiaoxu scratched his head in embarrassment, "The main thing is that I am already dead, if there is any more image left on the Internet to attract attention, Director Lu will be quite difficult to deal with, I don't want to cause trouble for him." ”

"It's okay, isn't it just ......"

Chen Junsheng smiled loudly and waved his hand, just about to say something.

But after pondering this time, his expression paused, and he stared at Wang Xiaoxu in a trance, "Young man, what did you just say?" ”

"I said I'm dead."

Wang Xiaoxu looked at him strangely, "Hey, didn't Director Lu tell you about this?" ”

But in response to him, there was only silence.

Chen Junsheng stood in the room, and for a while, he didn't know how to talk to this 'dead' young fan.

Or maybe he kind of wanted to leave the room.
