80 widows in the control group, eating melons and raising cubs are poor and happy

Bailiu originally planned to go to Hong Kong City for a few months, but the plan could not keep up with the changes, and he had been away for only half a year.

As the Spring Festival approaches, Zhao Mei's TV series is announced to be finished, which means they can finally return to the capital.

"I will go back to celebrate the New Year first, and I will come back to edit after the New Year. Then I will leave the publicity matters to you." Zhao Mei specifically explained the itinerary to Bai Liu on the plane.

Bai Liu hesitated and then shook his head: "I won't come over unexpectedly after the Chinese New Year, but it depends on whether there are things at home that need to be dealt with."

After all, Tangdou was about to take the college entrance examination, and she felt that she should accompany Tangdou.

You can't let go of things in Hong Kong City. Although Robin can do a good job, Robin doesn't dare to deal with some big things alone - not everyone dares to offend a wealthy family.

Zhao Mei glanced at Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan in the front row: "Having been in Hong Kong City for a long time, I always feel that capitalists are aloof and different from ordinary people. But when I look at them up close, I feel that it is not unusual."

Bai Liu joked: "They both have two eyes and one nose. The difference is not as big as you think. It's just that you have experienced ups and downs, and you will be more transparent and vicissitudes of life."

Zhao Mei nodded and talked about the just-finished TV series "The Rich Orphan": "The actor who plays Mr. Lin looks similar in appearance and spirit. Hong Kong City is really a magical place. Our mainland actors are indeed a little less rich."

Modern dramas in the Mainland still focus on local TV dramas, which are not fashionable enough. I have to say that there are more opportunities in Hong Kong cities.

"The subject of our shooting this time is a wealthy family. The villas, clothes and jewelry are very expensive, and they even go on yachts...Did we overspend?" Zhao Mei lowered her voice.

Hong Kong City really costs money at every turn. Zhao Mei is a qualified mainland director and will naturally consider cost issues when filming.

But when Bai Liu saw it, he advised her not to think too much. Since they wanted to film the life of a wealthy family, it couldn't be too shabby.

Since this was my first time shooting, it’s understandable that I didn’t have good cost control.

Bai Liu cares more about the finished product this time and doesn't want to lose a big deal for a small amount.

"Yes, it is indeed more than tens of thousands of yuan, but it is still within the controllable range." She did not shy away or blame, "We will be damaged during the shooting. Although the jewelry and jewelry are sponsored, we should pay for it if it is damaged."

In fact, the company that provides the jewelry is Lu Pingwan's company. Related brands and accessories even appear in the TV series. The villa is also the Song family's house... But you must be clear when doing accounting.

Zhao Mei was silent for a moment and took a deep breath: "I think Hong Kong City has a special prop team. We might as well hire a special prop master for our subsequent shooting."

It's a bit difficult to fake the real thing, but it can reduce costs.

Bai Liu did not explicitly agree. She was more concerned about the economic benefits of the first trial. If it was very good, she could continue.

It’s not too late to consider the cost issue at that time.

"We'll talk about it later. It's understandable if you didn't control costs the first time. You don't have to feel too guilty." Bai Liu comforted Zhao Mei.

"Although the characters in the play often cost tens of millions, but we in the mainland don't have a few million-yuan households, how could I not care?" Zhao Mei said with emotion, "I can't waste it. If you don't have money to film, In the next drama, or if the Song family is unhappy, what we just learned will have no use."

Bai Liu was amused by Zhao Mei's words, but after all, he cared about her.

"I won't give up halfway. It will always get better in the future. Even if we have some problems now, we can slowly improve in the future. No one can guarantee success." She thought for a while and added, "You have to have pressure. , don’t put too much pressure on us, we are a team and everyone will do our best.”

Zhao Mei worked hard on filming, the screenwriter polished the story, Liang Zhou was responsible for promoting related books, Robin maximized the value of the TV series... and she was in charge of overall planning.

Everyone has their own division of labor. Success is not the result of one person, and failure is not the fault of one person. Zhao Mei let out a long sigh of relief: "I will try my best to adjust my mentality. I should believe in the good style we brought from the mainland. Individualism is advocated there, and we believe more in the power of the collective, and we will definitely succeed."

Bai Liu smiled and said no more. There were some things that Zhao Mei needed to figure out on her own.

The director is the person in charge of a work and must have a strong ability to withstand blows. If Zhao Mei is petty or worried about gains and losses, she is not suitable for being placed in a more important position.

She values ​​Zhao Mei, but she doesn't have to be Zhao Mei.

"Aunt Bai, Mr. Song asked you to come over." Cuihua came to her side when the plane entered a smooth taxiing period.

The two exchanged places, and Bai Liu got up and went to the first-class cabin in front.

Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan returned to the capital together this time. At present, the domestic attitude towards private jets is relatively vague, so Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan took civil aviation back.

In order to make it easier to talk to Zhao Mei, Bai Liu sat in the economy class at the back.

"Dad, Cuihua said you asked me to come over?" Bai Liu looked at Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan who were sitting side by side.

Song Jingyun nodded: "I want to ask you in advance when you plan to return to the Northeast. If we prepare a lot of things, we can have someone deliver the gifts in advance."

There should be no lack of etiquette, so Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan arranged many gifts again.

Bai Liu remembered that she had called her family alone before and mentioned that they would go back to the Northeast together, and specifically emphasized that this was the wish of her parents-in-law.

Huang Fenglai screamed at that time. She was not afraid of Song Jingyun or Lu Pingwan, but she was used to being at ease. Faced with her in-laws whose status gap was too big, she suddenly didn't know how to deal with them.

She couldn't say that she wouldn't let her in-laws go over, and she was very conflicted.

Bai Liu didn't know how to communicate with Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan. She couldn't stop them, so she thought about communicating with Song Jiaying after returning to the capital.

It may be easier for everyone to go back and stay for a few days.

But she hadn't gone back yet, but Song Jingyun came to ask her first with great interest.

Bai Liu said helplessly: "You don't know how cold it is in the Northeast in winter. You may not be used to it. We may only be able to stay a few days longer."

This is indeed an objective problem. The winter in the capital city cannot be compared with that in the Northeast, and the winter in the port city is even warmer.

Song Jingyun thought it made sense, and then asked: "Why don't we bring them all to the capital? Your house is not big. I bought a bigger courtyard house this year and it should be completed recently."

Bai Liu doesn't think so.

I don't feel comfortable at home. If I really go to the capital, I'm afraid the whole family will have a bad New Year.

She immediately refused: "There are too many relatives in my hometown, and everyone is used to getting together during the New Year. It is not convenient to come to the capital."

"Don't scare Bai Liu, this person is really..." Lu Pingwan patted Song Jingyun lightly, then turned to Bai Liu and smiled, "Don't worry about him, I want to say that it is better to take your mother to the capital and go to Hong Kong after the new year. City, just treat it as a trip."

Bai Liu's heart was moved.
