Dressed to be a grandmother

Chapter 1541 Chapter 1545 Is there any misunderstanding of small costs?

Bai Xi smiled, and ruthlessly refused: "That's not acceptable either."

Zhang Qiutian's forehead twitched, but he was still unwilling to ask: "Is it really not possible?"

He is so curious, it’s okay anyway, he’s been addicted to his eyes.

"no!"

"I'm not a bad person."

"But you are not from my Niuluo village."

"Uh, okay." Zhang Qiutian couldn't help it. He knew Bai Xi's temperament too well. It was hopeless to read the script in advance to get addicted to his eyes, so he continued to ask.

"How did you find the actors for your crew?"

"Do you need any help? At the state-owned film studio, if you have an actor you like, I can also help you coordinate and coordinate." There are not many actors who can perform in Hua Guoneng.

Bai Xi: "No, for low-budget movies, just use our own people."

Small budget movie?
Bai Xi said it easily, but Zhang Qiutian glanced at Secretary Chang and just wanted to roll his eyes.

I have already built the venue by myself, and it took a lot of effort, but it can still be a low-budget movie?
On this point, Bai Xi really didn't lie, and she didn't plan to use many people in the first place.

It can be said that in the whole film, the scene with the largest number of people is only about 30 people, and there are only a few leading actors with many main shots. Of course, it is a small cost.

Secretary Chang answered curiously from the side: "Consultant Bai, are you worried about actors' remuneration?"

"Don't worry, an actor's monthly salary is not as much as your Baiji workers." Zhang Qiutian explained from the side.

Bai Xi rolled her eyes and said, "But I employ people from our village, and they don't need a salary."

"Yes, yes, we need people from our village. People in our village can do whatever they want, obey the arrangement, and have no complaints..." Chen Daliu rushed over, and he listened to the words for a while, but it didn't affect him at all. .

"Our village is very poor recently. I wish I could break a penny into eight petals to spend. There is no money to hire people." Fortunately, when he asked Li Jia to prepare meals just now, he took the opportunity to ask about the main things that the village has been doing recently. Otherwise, I really don't understand.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Qiutian and the two fell silent.

They don't think that Niu Luocun can't afford actors' remuneration, probably because they really didn't want to hire actors.

Spending money on the venue, and digging and searching on the actors, Zhang Qiutian didn't know whether Niuluo Village was generous or cheating.

After thinking about it, he had no choice but to say, "If you have financial difficulties, I can help you coordinate with the state-owned film factory. If not, I can apply for a little funding for you..."

"No need." Bai Xi immediately refused: "Let's be self-sufficient, and solve any difficulties by ourselves, so as not to cause trouble to the organization."

"After all, the movie is what we want to make." Just kidding, if we use actors from the state-owned film factory, wouldn't we be able to install some people into the crew?

Apart from this movie, Bai Xi didn't plan to use many people, even if needed, she wouldn't give others a chance to insert people into the crew.

Bai Xi's words were justified. Although Zhang Qiutian knew that the key issues were definitely not these, she refused, so it was hard for him to say anything else.

However, he became more and more worried about whether the movie could be made well, what it would look like, and whether it would be successful.

The filming machines and equipment can be purchased by Niuluo Village, the venue is built by Niuluo Village, the actors use people from their own village, the script is written by Bai Xi, and the director?

Oh, by the way, Zhang Qiutian remembered that on the phone before, Bai Xi had said that she would come to shoot.

So... is this really a low-budget movie?
However, after spending so much money, manpower and material resources, if you don't make money, but lose money, then you have money and no place to spend it.

"Are you sure you can make money with this movie?"

Bai Xi pondered for a while, and said, "I'm only in charge of filming. As for whether I can make money, who knows, it depends on the market's feedback."

Why does this sound so familiar?

Zhang Qiutian frowned and thought about it, and he soon thought of it. When Bai Ji set up the factory, Bai Xi said the same thing.

If you are familiar with it, it seems that the formula is also familiar.

Every time Bai Xi said that, Bai Ji didn't lose any money, even if it seemed to be a loss at the beginning, he could make it back doubled later.

Therefore, Zhang Qiutian suddenly didn't worry so much about the movie's revenue.

"Then, let me first wish you all the best of luck with the filming and the success of the movie."

Bai Xi's smiling eyes crooked: "I'd like to borrow a good word from Mr. Zhang."

"When are you going to start filming?"

The left and right meals are not ready so quickly, and they are idle when they are idle, so they chat.

"I ordered a state-of-the-art video camera and camera, but I haven't received two pieces of equipment yet. It is estimated that they will be shipped back in a month, and we can start when we are almost ready."

Bai Xi said a lot, but the date still hasn't been settled.

Zhang Qiutian is not surprised, the venue is still being built, and filming is not so fast.

With the current conditions in Niuluo Village, the standard of entertaining people is certainly not low, especially Bai Xi, who naturally has fish, meat and vegetables.

Fresh mushrooms on the mountain, fish in the deep sea, bison on the mountain, fat chickens in the farm.

Li Jia and Chen Zhaodi worked together to cook a sumptuous meal.

Chen Daliu specially brought two bottles of wine, but no one drank them. The three technicians wanted to study and discuss some issues with Bai Xi after dinner. Zhang Qiutian usually didn't meet for a long time when he went out. With a file of confidential technology, it is even more impossible to touch alcohol.

Chen Daliu's original intention was that these people would either leave immediately after drinking, or send them to the brigade guest house to sleep, in short, it's better not to pester our aunt and grandma.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiutian and the others didn't intend to drink, so he had to put away the wine wearily.

The three technicians came out with great difficulty. They learned a lot of theoretical knowledge from Bai Xi, and many of them even found that Bai Xi seemed to have already tested it. They just need to verify it according to the data given. It is like a treasure. .

What was supposed to be a three-day itinerary took a week.

As for Zhang Qiutian, he also happened to go to see the Cultural Film City in Niuluo Village.

However, the cultural film city under construction is only in its infancy. Wherever you can see anything, you know that it covers a large area, and it looks like it is going to make a special feature.

"In such a big place, you still talk about low-budget movies?" Zhang Qiutian seriously doubted whether Bai Xi had misunderstood low-budget movies.

When Chen Daliu came back, of course he continued to take over the affairs of the village, so he was the one who accompanied Zhang Qiutian around.

He smiled slightly, as if he had the taste of an 'outsider', and said, "Our aunt said that culture cannot be measured by value."

The corner of Zhang Qiutian's mouth twitched, for no reason.

"Why is that part demolished, and this part is still there?" Zhang Qiutian was a little puzzled. Of the three villages, Honghua Village and Baopo Village were demolished, but Datian Village was still intact.
