Chapter 123. Return to Beijing [2-in-1]
Northeast, wide shop.
The temporary office of the crew of "The Assembly".
It's said to be an office, that is, a row of rooms built by a simple color steel version, which can more or less resist a little wind, and there is a stove inside, and the temperature is like that, but it is much stronger than staying outside in winter.
The producer of the crew is actually Wang Zhonglei, but he is basically in name, as the general manager of Huayi Company, he will not come to the set unless there is a major situation in the crew, the actual person in charge is a man named Ma Tao, Sun Yi has never met, but he has heard Wang Baoqiang tell him.
Walking into the office, there was a young man sitting inside, dressed in a suit, and his face looked very exquisite.
However, on this day in the Northeast, are you sure that this dress can resist?
Sun Yi took off his gloves and said hello.
"Producer Ma, hello."
"Well, Sun Yi, yes, hello, come and sit down."
As soon as they met, Sun Yi felt that the other party was also quite polite.
"Sun Yiha, how is it, are you still used to staying in the crew?"
Why do you still care about me?
Sun Yi was a little baffled.
"It's okay, Ma Producer."
"It's okay, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, the filming matters belong to Director Feng, and the things in life will try my best to solve them for you."
"The producer of Ma is too polite, it's really nothing, it's good."
Sun Yi is too familiar with the set of leaders in his previous life, and there must be afterwords, either to arrange extra work for you, or to let people work overtime, otherwise how can you suddenly find yourself, anyway, it's not good.
"Well, Sun Yi, I heard that you haven't signed a company yet?"
came, this time Sun Yi understood.
"Ah, yes."
"You also know that this drama is invested and controlled by our company, that is, Huayi Film and Television Company, in the Huaxia film and television industry, it is impossible that you have not heard of our Huayi Company, the company is very optimistic about you, thinks you have great potential, and is ready to sign you and give you a contract."
When he said this, he didn't ask his own opinion, and he was full of a lofty attitude.
"Uh, Ma Producer, I haven't thought about signing a contract now, I'm still in school."
For ordinary people, this is tantamount to a euphemistic refusal, of course Ma Tao heard it, but he pretended not to understand.
"It doesn't matter, the company allows you to work while you go to school, and the contract can be longer, it's not a problem."
This is a bit of a scoundrel, people pretend not to understand, Sun Yi is a little helpless.
"Ma Producer, I want to finish my studies first, and I have not had the idea of signing a company in recent years."
Sun Yi's words were almost refused, Ma Tao couldn't pretend anymore, his face changed slightly, but he was secretly happy in his heart, he liked this result.
"You have to know how rare this opportunity is in front of you, although you are in Director Feng's picture, there are a lot of suitable actors, and you don't have to be anyone."
If this can't be wooed, he will immediately threaten in disguise, Sun Yi can't look down on such a person, so don't care if you make another transition.
"Yes, I am very grateful to Director Feng for giving me this opportunity, but Ma Producer, I really don't have the idea of signing with the company at the moment."
"Sun Yi, do you want to know what the consequences of rejecting our Huayi are?"
Don't say it, as soon as Ma Tao said this, Sun Yizhen thought in his heart.
Connections, project works, capital and money, although they are not very strong, but they all have it, and Huayi cannot cover the sky in the whole circle with one hand.
After weighing it, there was no problem, Sun Yi still replied very politely.
"I'm really sorry, Producer Ma."
Ma Tao's face was unhappy, "Okay, it's nothing, you go first." ”
"Okay, Producer Ma."
Back on the set, Sun Yi was still a little happy in his heart, this time he didn't make trouble by himself, this was Huayi who wanted to open him, and he had an explanation for Big Guy Zhang.
According to Sun Yi's usual personality, he would not refuse on the spot like this, just like the agents of other companies he met with Zeng Jia before, including the popular film Hundred Flowers Award dinner, he was more tactful, and he sincerely refused after thinking about it for two days.
In this way, there is an explanation for each other, so that people don't feel that they don't know how to lift, and they save face for each other, and they can see each other in the future.
But this crew, he really doesn't want to stay, not to mention the hardship and tiredness, after doing this business, he has this psychological preparation, which industry is not hard and tiring?
If it is not hard and tiring, it must be high-risk, but outsiders can't see it.
The crew of "Assembly Number" is not only hard-boiling, but now even their lives are in danger.
The reason is that director Feng Xiaogang actually wanted to borrow the snow scene from the Northeast when he filmed the war scenes in the Northeast.
The crew also built a street scene here according to his requirements to show the scene of street fighting. However, the weather was not beautiful, and the snow in the shooting area was slow to fall, although it also snowed, but it was far from the expected snow, and it could not achieve the effect he asked for.
The crew waited for 3 days, but the scene couldn't be filmed, and the whole crew had about 300 people, and everyone ate horses and chewed every day, which was like running water.
Sun Yi thought that Director Feng Xiaogang would arrange a snow machine, but he didn't expect that he didn't know which 2 than gave him the idea of using chemical fertilizer.
The crew brought 4 tons of chemical fertilizer and sprinkled it on the set to create snow scenes, director Feng Xiaogang has great ambitions for this film, so he is very serious, and the actors have to "sprinkle snow" over and over again when they try to move, and after a few days of filming, the fertilizer ran out, and the crew made another 10 tons.
This is chemical fertilizer, chemical synthesis, not to mention the taste, it is poisonous, it has great harm to the human body, it is still a war scene, the actors fell into the "snow" and advanced, including the "snow foam" raised by the explosion were sucked into the body, the whole crew, the group actors collectively diarrhea, vomiting, and some people fell into a coma and went to the hospital for rescue.
Sun Yi can't play with him in this job, it's not that he's hypocritical, this can obviously be avoided, why do you have to play with your life, how are the actors and group performers, not people, just toss.
Besides, the crew used nearly 15 tons of fertilizer before and after, and the purchase price added a little more, which is enough to rent a few snow machines, and there is no shortage of such machines in the Northeast, many ski resorts use them, rent for a year, and even the deposit is less than 100,000 yuan.
Anyway, Sun Yi feels that if he pulls the crew in the future, he will definitely not save money on the health of the actors, and he must have a bottom line in life.
On that day, Sun Yi was a little absent-minded, so he waited for Feng Xiaogang to inform him and let him leave.
Yes, I don't know what the specific situation is, he waited in the crew for two more days, and he didn't see any movement for a long time.
Even, he guessed that this Huayi was joking with him and teasing?
He didn't know that it was Feng Xiaogang who stopped Ma Tao, of course, it was out of the face of his old friend Zhang Guoli, and later Wang Zhonglei, the general manager of Huayi, personally called Feng Xiaogang, and he agreed to replace Sun Yi.
On this day, Wang Baoqiang found Sun Yi and told him that the director was looking for him.
When he came to the door of the director's office, what he saw was that he had a statement with slightly red eyes and walked out of it.
stated whether it was the heroine in the film or Sun Yi's wife in the play, although the two did not have a rivalry in the whole process, but in order to find the feeling of caring for each other, they often cooperated with each other, and they came and went, and the relationship was good.
The statement belongs to a late-blooming actress, as one of the great beauties of the later generations of aunts, she is only 30 years old this year, but the charming and elegant temperament on her body has begun to take shape.
"Sister Shu, what's wrong, what is this?"
The statement was originally with his head down, but when he heard Sun Yi's voice, he turned sideways slightly, and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand before turning around and saying to Sun Yi with a smile:
"Ah, Xiaoyi, it's okay, Director Feng asked me for something to shoot."
Seeing that the statement was reluctant to say more, Sun Yi was not good at asking.
"Oh, okay, I'll go in first."
"Well, go ahead."
After entering the house, although he had already guessed what he was going to face next, he still greeted him politely.
"Director Feng, you're looking for me."
"Sit down, there is such a thing, I won't go around in circles, I heard that Huayi wants to sign you, but you didn't agree?"
"Well, yes."
Feng Xiaogang frowned and made a very embarrassed expression.
"Hey, how can I say this, because you don't sign a brokerage contract, Huayi wants to change you, I am trying my best to say good things for you, I want to keep you, but."
As he spoke, he slapped his thigh with excitement, and his mouth burst out with a foul language, and he acted like it.
"Don't, Director Feng, no."
"Xiaoyi, I am very optimistic about you, but you also know that although I am the director of this play, the investor is Huayi Company, and I have to obey their arrangements, you have to understand."
"Uh-huh, it's fine, I understand."
Sun Yi understands that Director Feng Xiaogang is going to take himself out, but he really can't complain about this matter, he is not so unreasonable, besides, he has to thank Huayi, he didn't want to come to film, if it wasn't for the kindness of Zhang Guoli, he wouldn't have been able to come over at all.
"Well, I finally helped you get a salary of 80,000 yuan, and I can call you today."
"Oh, thank you Director Feng then."
Hearing that there was still 80,000 yuan to take, Sun Yi was even happier in his heart, he thought that this trip was in vain, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy.
"That's it for this time, Uncle Feng will be in the next drama in the future, thinking about you."
"Eh, okay, then I'll go first."
"Well, go ahead."
Sun Yi turned around and left with brisk steps.
In the afternoon of the same day, it spread in the crew that Sun Yi and the heroine's statements were changed, and the "couple" went offline at the same time, and no one in the entire crew spoke for them, it was so realistic.
Only Wang Baoqiang came over to comfort Sun Yi for a few words, but he is now a little stronger than the newcomer, and he is powerless.
In the afternoon of the same day, Sun Yi packed up his things and was about to retreat, he didn't want to stay longer for a moment, and Sheng He was a little reluctant to let him go.
"Okay, it's a big man, don't give me this whole show, it's not a parting of life and death."
As he spoke, he grabbed Sheng He again and stuffed 10,000 yuan into his arms.
"Uncle, no, I don't want it."
"Take it, go back and buy some nutrition for your parents."
"I can't ask for it, you left a sum of money last time you went."
Sheng He was a little stubborn and refused to accept it.
Sun Yi pretended to be angry.
"Me or your uncle?"
"Yes."
"Uncle asked you to take it, just take it, study hard in the crew, and when it's over, come to the capital and follow uncle."
Looking at Sun Yi's extremely serious expression, Sheng He reluctantly accepted it.
"Well, I know, uncle, I must study hard."
"Okay, I'm leaving, come when the time comes, call me."
"Hmm."
The nearest city to Kuandian is Anton, the train station is not big, just entered the waiting room, Sun Yi saw the statement, standing next to the ticket gate alone.
"Sister Shu, we met again so soon."
The statement was carrying a suitcase, Sun Yi was carrying a backpack, and the two looked at each other and smiled, like a "couple in distress".
After taking a look, they were both on the same train back to Beijing, so they simply traveled together.
On the train, the two did not shy away from it, and chatted one after another.
Sun Yi said that he was replaced because he refused Huayi's request to sign a contract.
I was quite surprised after hearing the statement, Sun Yi is young, he is not small, and his idea is right, even a big company like Huayi refused when he said he refused.
As for the statement, it is a disaster that is unreasonable, she was originally selected through the audition by virtue of her own strength, but this time she was changed roles, and the reason given to her was that she was found to be incompatible with the role during the filming and was not suitable.
Sun Yi knew as soon as he heard it, this was pure nonsense, it didn't match the role, it wasn't suitable, what did you do earlier, besides, the statement was the heroine, it was to be auditioned by the director himself, and it had to be auditioned with makeup, completely according to a certain paragraph in the script, or it was not suitable, and it couldn't be passed in the first place.
This is purely because some investors want to praise other actresses, so she was replaced.
After listening to Sun Yi's analysis, she also understood, but in the face of this situation, she could not do anything but bear it silently.
It takes nearly 8 hours to take the train from Andong to the capital, and at dinner in the evening, Sun Yi also specially invited the statement to have dinner in the dining car, which made the statement a little embarrassed.
During the dinner, Sun Yi also asked about the current brokerage company, and then learned that she is now an actor at the National Theatre, and there is no brokerage company, but the commercial affairs are represented by the full-time agent of Huayi's brokerage company, and she is not considered a contracted artist.
Knowing this, Sun Yi made a little Jiujiu to the statement in his heart.
As the saying goes, "Nothing to be courteous is either a traitor or a thief." ”
He does have an idea for the statement.
Well, don't get me wrong, it's to sign her.
Huayi's incident this time also made him realize that his studio should speed up the expansion, and then produce independently, and pay close attention to consolidating the foundation laid through "Soldier Assault", develop rapidly, and recruit talents.
His future direction must be to focus on movies, the director is the mainstay, and the actors are supplemented, but the TV series can't be thrown, it's 06 now, until 08, if the movie has no overseas distribution channels, it won't make much money in China alone, it's purely for brushing and forcing the grid, TV series are different, a hit makes tens of millions of dollars scattered and it's easy.
Now the only director he knows is Kang Honglei, and the TV series can be handed over to him first, but it is not enough to have a director and crew.
Sun Yi's goal is to develop the studio into a comprehensive film and television production company, in addition to professionals in all aspects, actors are also indispensable, these years, it is not popular for actors to open personal studios, you can sign a brokerage contract first, and then renegotiate, actor brokerage is a large amount of income.
The statement in front of you is a potential stock.
When the time comes, there will be money, people, connections, and projects, just like a prince, as long as the ass is not crooked, who can still show him a face.
