"Master Tian, Master He, can you do it at this price?"

"Less than three million? You two are the old finances of the factory, and the requirements of others are high, don't kill us when the time comes! This year, everyone's prize money can all be pointed to this film! ”

"Yes, Master Tian, if you look at their style, it is obviously the way of capitalists, if this can't meet the requirements of others, it will lose money."

In a medium-sized hostel near the Jingcheng Hotel, people from the Shanghai Film Factory are holding a research meeting.

The support staff of Shanghai arrived yesterday, the director, finance, budget, actors, etc. are fully staffed, and they are led by an experienced deputy factory director.

But no matter how much you pay attention to it, it's useless if you can't see people?

Yesterday, I only saw a little cub on Hong Kong Island, and threw two thick quotation lists to everyone, asking them to write their "psychological price".

There are detailed standards and relevant requirements for the salary standards of the leading actors, directors, and group performances, the production and rental costs of armor and horses, as well as the cost and construction speed of the set.

The financial and budgets that came with me didn't sleep for a night and a day, and after careful study, I had the audacity to quote an offer of more than two million dollars.

But several people feel unsure, when they first contacted by phone, they shouted out the budget of 5 million prices, and said that the set should be "international standards", which is in case of picking and choosing when the time comes, this foreign trade has liquidated damages.

The old treasurer in charge of the budget patted his chest and said: "Director Ding, I don't know how much Cleopatra spent, but even Emperor Zetian, the place where she lives can't be made of gold, right?" ”

"As long as they give us this money, what if we build a Daming Palace for him? I dare to say that as long as you take 100,000 US dollars to go to the construction company, there is no need to talk nonsense, you can start construction on the same day, and the rest is a matter of RMB. ”

Director Ding took a deep breath of cigarette and said in a deep voice: "Since you are capable, then. Can it be lowered again? ”

Master Tian was puzzled and said, "Price reduction? This. Wasn't it too low, factory director? ”

Director Ding pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said to Master Tian: "Lao Tian! If you give me a real number, can you still reduce the price? ”

Master Tian said: "It can definitely be reduced, and it can be reduced by another three percent, but we can't reduce the price without a bottom line?" The foreign exchange sent to the door, every point pushed out is the loss of our factory. ”

At this time, Lao He, who is also a treasurer, said: "Factory director, are you afraid that Chang'an will quote a low price?" Then don't worry, haven't you already sent Director Zheng to ventilate? When the time comes, it's a big deal that the two of us will cooperate, and we can't make money in vain. ”

Director Ding shook his head slowly: "This morning, a brother unit called us to ask about the situation, saying that we have received a call from a Hong Kong Island scammer recently, do you understand the reason?" ”

Lao He gasped: "Hey, someone else is coming?" This is really a profiteer. ”

Everyone immediately understood that the profiteers on Hong Kong Island were really slippery enough to play this trick of "river mussels competing for fishermen's profits".

But people are immoo, you don't have to take this job or not.

"Squeak~"

The door suddenly opened, and Director Zheng walked in with a black face, sitting on the bed without saying a word.

Director Ding's heart sank and said, "What's the matter, Lao Zheng?" Chang'an is unwilling to ventilate with us? ”

Director Zheng didn't speak, tilted his head like an angry little daughter-in-law, and looked so angry.

Director Ding didn't care about his emotions, and said loudly: "You are talking!" Everyone is waiting for your news! ”

Director Zheng still didn't speak, but he unbuttoned the collar of his shirt.

On the neck inside the neckline, there is a conspicuous blood mark, which looks like a fingernail scratch.

"What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing?"

Director Zheng said with tears in his eyes: "I went to talk to them, but they said that I was a spy and wanted to steal their information, I just defended a few words, and an old lady scratched me."

“.”

"Deceive people too much, deceive people too much, come with me, I want to see where they have the courage to destroy unity?"

"You Lao Zheng too, an old lady just stopped you? If I want me to be a big mouth, what good men don't fight with women, you are really inexperienced. ”

Director Ding was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly burst into a rage, and was about to bring someone over to find the other party's theory.

But Director Zheng sat motionless on the bed and said, "Do you think I don't want to slap me?" Behind an old lady, there stood five Northwest men, two of whom were still wearing armor and holding hammers. ”

“.”

Director Ding asked in shock: "Do you still need to wear armor to deal with you?" Still with a hammer? ”

Director Zheng raised his head to look at Director Ding, opened his mouth, and finally said: "It's a sample, I got the detailed list on Hong Kong Island yesterday, and I sent someone from the security department to come over with armor props." ”

"Good men don't fight with women, they don't fight with women."

Everyone sat down again, smoking and frowning.

People even came over to the security department, so it's clear that you want to monopolize this order, did you want to fight in the past?

However, Director Ding quickly changed the topic and said: "We also have to hurry up and get a few armor samples, we must let people see our strength." ”

"But what kind of armor does it need? We don't have any samples of Tang Dynasty armor, do we? If this becomes Song Jia, won't it make people think that we don't have the strength? ”

"It's not easy, ask the archaeologists? We can't get in touch with this? ”

Everyone came up with ideas, and Director Zheng, who had been depressed, suddenly said: "I have inquired about some things in the past few days, "The Lonely Army in the Hometown" has comics, and it seems that someone from Hong Kong Island came to learn the details of armor and costumes in the Lonely Army Literature Club of Beijing University."

Director Ding immediately said: "Then what are you waiting for? Lao Zheng, you go to Beijing University immediately, you can use the activity expenses, and I will reimburse you when you come back. ”

But Director Zheng said: "I think that Li Ye in the Lone Army Literary Club is not simple, he is the first person to contact that Mr. Pei, but although he is young, he is very difficult to talk to, you have to give me a few more people to help." ”

Director Ding asked, "Who do you want to help?" ”

Director Zheng said: "Xiao Pan, Xiao Nie." ”

“.”

Director Ding said with an unhappy face: "Lao Zheng, don't make mistakes, we're here to make a movie, no"

Xiao Pan and Xiao Nie are both actresses in the factory, and they demand the best directors and best actors on Hong Kong Island, so they brought them over.

But you want two actresses to "talk", what kind of behavior is this? What kind of tricks are used?

Well?

Director Zheng immediately said: "In addition, I need Lao Xie to go, he is the director, maybe I can discuss the script adaptation with those people in the literary club." ”

Director Ding's face softened, and he finally nodded in agreement.

。。。。。。

Director Zheng rushed to Beijing University with three colleagues.

Because Director Zheng has investigated in advance many times, he knows where the Lone Army Literary Club is, and he will take the director and actors with him.

When he was about to arrive at the door, Director Zheng advised: "After you get there, Xiao Pan, don't be in a hurry to talk to the two of you, Lao Xie and I will exchange the script with him first, and then you will surprise and ask a few key questions, which is a great achievement." ”

Xiao Pan, who was nearly thirty years old, asked with a cold face: "What if that person doesn't answer?" ”

Director Zheng immediately said: "If you don't answer, you won't answer, can you still hold someone's neck and ask hard?" ”

"But so many people in our factory came to fight for this contract, if it can't be signed, people will spend a lot of money, not to mention, how can we explain it after returning to Shanghai?"

Xiao Pan stopped talking, this time she said that she was asked to exchange scripts, but she always felt very awkward.

If this is a few decades later, everyone doesn't need to say anything, it's all tacit, but in 83 it is easy to be gossiped.

As for Xiao Nie, another younger actor, she didn't dare to squeak at all, whether it was Director Zheng or Director Lao Xie, she had to look up carefully.

As soon as the four of them arrived at the door of the literary club, they heard a very noisy commotion inside, and bursts of cheers.

Director Zheng took the lead in pushing the door in, and saw more than 20 people in the activity room of the Literature Club forming a circle, watching the performance of a "armored warrior" in the middle.

The all-metal fish-scale armor on the warrior's body is not brand new, it looks very historical, especially the helmet with a visor, which makes people really look a little bit slaughtered.

And the spear of more than two meters in the soldier's hand was even more vividly played by him, like a dragon.

And when the armor soldier picked, picked, and stabbed the spear of more than two meters, and the armor made a burst of metal friction sounds, the desolation of the awe-inspiring wind came to Huo Ran's face.

A few people with cameras clicked the shutter, and they only hated that they didn't have a camera in their hands, and they couldn't keep all the tricks of the armor.

Director Zheng stabbed Director Lao Xie, pouted at Director Xiong next to him, and said a little dejectedly: "People not only brought armor, but also martial arts actors, alas"

Director Lao Xie said: "It's all here, let's communicate!" Can't just go back? Wouldn't that weaken the momentum? ”

"Our strength is not momentum."

Director Zheng shook his head and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Pan and Xiao Nie.

Xiao Pan glanced at Director Zheng, his face gloomy and unhappy.

Suddenly, the armor soldier who was playing with a gun in the circle suddenly jumped in the air, and actually performed an action similar to a horse pistol in the air, and then ended the performance.

"Papapapa~"

Everyone began to applaud, and Director Xiong and others from Chang'an Film Factory applauded again and again.

"Good~"

"It's incredible."

"Wearing forty pounds of armor, he can still jump, I really can't figure out how he did it."

"Perhaps, that's why he was able to write "The Wind Flying"!"

Director Zheng's heart moved, and he hurriedly looked at the armor soldier who was unloading his armor.

When he took off his helmet, it was Li Ye.

He was also full of shock, and said, "That's Li Ye, I really can't imagine it!" ”

Of course, it was not only Director Zheng who was shocked, but also Lao Xie, Xiao Pan and Xiao Nie.

Xiao Nie couldn't help but whisper to Xiao Pan: "Sister Pan, this Li Ye is almost the same as Brother Lin Qiang!" ”

Lin Qiang was the first student of the Shanghai Film Factory in the 80s, and his handsome strength was well-known throughout the country.

And Li Ye, who took off his armor at this moment, was not far behind.

Xiao Pan was about to talk to Xiao Nie, but Xiao Nie had already taken the first step and walked straight to Li Ye.

"Hello, classmate Li Ye, we are here to exchange scripts, and I like your "Lonely Army" and "The Wind Flying" written by you very much."

Director Zheng and Lao Xie couldn't help but laugh, they are both old, of course they understand the attribute of reserve, and they are selective when targeting different targets.

"Oh, you're from the Shanghai Film Factory? Are you here on your own? ”

Li Ye took the towel handed over by Wen Leyu and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead.

The capital in October has not yet cooled down, and wearing forty pounds of armor and playing with a spear must be sweating.

Xiao Nie said: "There are also our director and Director Zheng, as well as Sister Pan." ”

Li Ye looked up, and Director Zheng smiled and waved at him.

The two had met a few times, and Director Zheng felt that this young man seemed to be very talkative, but in fact, he had been keeping his distance.

In other words, he hates people he doesn't know well with him.

But this time, Li Ye took the initiative to come over.

"Hello, Director Xie."

"Hello, Comrade Pan Hong."

Li Ye took the initiative to stretch out his hand, which surprised Director Zheng.
