I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 150 [Win the prize]

"The shooting location should be in Hong Kong City."

"Props, costumes, venues, group performances... everyone will come up with a plan for me first. Let me know a little bit about how you plan to complete the preparations. If there is no problem, make arrangements quickly. After all, you have been resting for a while."

"After filming in early February, it's almost three months of rest."

Throughout the house,

Lu Zhengyi opened the video conference of the crew.

After shooting the double pupil, a lot of things really happened.

So distracted, I couldn't start filming the next movie coherently after it was released.

However, people will always have a life, and it cannot really only be work.

"Director Lu, will I really be the leading actor in the next movie?"

In the video, Zhang Yuming was the first to speak excitedly.

Except for Xiao Ming in the first play, whether it's the curse or the double pupil, he doesn't have many roles in the later scenes, they are just supporting roles.

Seeing that Yu Li, Chang Zhengwei, and even Yu Wenxiu and Li Zhenxi in the "contemporary period" have developed well and gained more and more attention, while he is still unknown in front of the media, he is actually a little anxious. of.

"It's not considered a male lead, this film has two male leads."

Lu Zhengyi explained a little bit, "Xiao Ming, you are using Li Guoqiang's script. Teacher Chang is police officer Huang Yaozu. As for Teacher Yu, this time, I will come over to play a cameo role for a few minutes. There are not many shots. She has other things behind her... ..."

"Eh?"

Zhang Yuming was a little surprised, "Does Teacher Yu have any other plays?"

"Ang, because Director Lu notified me in advance that the proportion of the film that belongs to me is not very large, and told me that if there is any new film that I find, I can take a look at it." Yu Wenxiu explained, " It just so happens that thanks to Director Lu's cultivation, I am quite well-known in the circle now, and many crews are looking for me, so it's a good idea to pick one."

As she spoke, she clasped her hands together and thanked Lu Zhengyi through the screen.

There is no never-ending feast.

Lu Zhengyi does not have roles suitable for them in every drama.

According to the original contract, if there is no suitable role, he will not delay them to take other plays.

It's just that they have to give priority to their crew when they need it.

As for Yu Wenxiu, he obviously took care of her.

After all, they did give up a lot in order to film.

Because she was too old to go back and think about getting married, and her job has not been stable, Yu Wenxiu broke up with her family, so Lu Zhengyi didn't force her to stay on the set when she didn't have a part in the show.

When a person reaches a certain age, whether in life or work, one side must be stabilized.

"Then Teacher Li..."

Zhang Yuming looked at the other people in the camera.

"Me, I'm the same, I don't have any suitable roles." Li Zhenxi explained with a smile, "Actually, I just came here to join in the fun today with a thick skin. In the next period of time, I plan to continue to be a housewife at home for a period of time." gone."

"It just so happens that Ning Ning's school is also starting. Although many child stars are career-oriented, I still think that Ning Ning should focus on studying first. In this way, he will have more choices in the future."

"However, I am still on standby at any time. If Director Lu needs it, just call me."

Anyway, after signing the contract with the crew, now she has a guaranteed salary, even if she doesn't work, she can still get some money every month, just like a pension.

In fact, she didn't need to work as hard as before, she had to come back and continue filming.

My achievements in this life should be like this. Taking good care of children is more important.

"I'm sure I don't need it, you just take care of your family."

Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "This is probably the case. I will send the script to you later, and you can think about it yourself."

"It's still the same sentence. Everyone writes their understanding of the role to me. If it's not suitable, I may replace it."

"By the way, you should read the script of this play during the day and find a place with sunshine."

When these few words were spoken, many people in front of the camera on the screen laughed.

Especially Zhang Yuming and Bai Wei, the two brothers laughed very loudly.

"Director Lu, you underestimated us, right? We've been with you for so long, what can scare us?"

Chang Zhengwei smiled and replied softly.

"Yes, Director Lu."

Zhang Yuming added, "I've seen ghosts before, and I know a boss like you. It's just a script. What do we have to be afraid of?"

"That's really hard to say."

On the computer screen at this moment, Xu Feng is one of the few who is not smiling.

He doesn't laugh because he's already read the script.

"I think what Ah Yi said is right, you should go under the sun, or find a cafe with a lot of people, and then think about the script."

Xu Feng advised very solemnly.

"Is there such a thing, Brother Feng?"

Zhang Yuming scratched his head.

I've seen this ghost before. It's just a script. Is it necessary to be so serious?
"But Director Lu, is this script the final script?"

Chang Zhengwei asked more experienced.

As usual, Lu Zhengyi often changes the script during the preparation process or the shooting process, so the script he is thinking about now may not be the final thing to be shot.

"Yes, I didn't change it this time."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "I don't think there is any need to change it."

Like in the past, he changed the script to make the content more in line with the age, the background, and the ability of the ghost.

But this one, he felt that there was no need to change it.

Even, there may not be a need to consider a marketing plan like other films.

Because going forward, Lu Zhengyi's three works are the best marketing.

"Okay, then I'll find a coffee shop and study the script."

Chang Zhengwei was very persuasive, nodded and agreed.

"It's... May now." Lu Zhengyi glanced at the time, "Let's try to start the film at the end of May. If the filming is finished like this, maybe there will be another Mid-Autumn Festival. Hurry up, work hard, let the audience fans On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family can go to see the first commandment."

That's what he said, but in fact, he estimated in his heart that it might be September after the filming, and the post-editing and review will be October or November anyway.

"Are you really going to make this kind of film?"

After finishing the video conference, Lu Zhengyi stretched and stood up.

Behind, a voice sounded suddenly.

"Master Dao, eavesdropping on other people's meetings is considered stealing company secrets." Lu Zhengyi turned around calmly, "Speaking of which, you don't really plan to follow me all the time, do you? Even if the film is written very realistically, But it's just a movie."

At some point, the door of the room was opened, and Taoist Guanshan was standing at the door with a serious face.

"If there are really no ghosts in this world, it's fine if you shoot this kind of thing." He persuaded, "But now you and I both know that there are really ghosts in this world. Kind of weird."

"But you have been hinting something to the audience through the movie. What is the reason?"

"Lu Zhengyi, I may not be stronger than you, but there are definitely people who can beat you in this world, do you believe it? If you do something wrong, you will definitely be punished. Liang Meijuan's matter has a reason, so it can be let go, but That doesn't mean we're on the same side."

When some people do things, they need tangible evidence and the understanding of the public.

When some people do things, they don't need evidence. They do things based on their preferences and ideas, and they don't care about other people's ideas.

Obviously, Taoist Guanshan is the former.

He felt that this matter was wrong, but there was no evidence, so he could only follow Lu Zhengyi.

"And why are you unwilling to tell me who the source of the script is." Taoist Guanshan continued to ask, "I checked, and your script has no source, and even the copyright is in your name, so... Where do these stories come from?"

Lu Zhengyi walked forward slowly with helplessness on his face.

Every time he took a step, the priest took a step back until he left the blocked door.

Taoist Guanshan put on a straight face, insisting on standing there, unwilling to retreat any further.

His body was tense, as if he was waiting for something.

"Yes, of course I believe that there will be someone more powerful than me in this world, no matter what it is, it can happen."

But Lu Zhengyi passed by him casually, slowly turned his back to him, and walked down the stairs, "Isn't the inherent cognition broken time and time again on this road of practice? When most people think it doesn't exist, Few people know it exists."

"Actually, I know you, Daoist, and I found that we still have a lot to talk about."

"Especially some of your words, I actually quite agree with them."

Taoist Guanshan followed behind him with a sullen face, "For example?"

"For example, your understanding of that ancient monk is that the principles of the past do not account for the current law."

Lu Zhengyi replied, "What's more, we can't look at the problem without looking at the historical background."

"It's like in the current history, when Qin Huang ruled the world, people at that time didn't understand what he did, and thought he was cruel and inhumane. He not only wanted to destroy the country of others, but also cut their roots and wiped them culture."

"But from the perspective of our future generations, if there is no Qin State to start the era of great unification, generations of people in future generations will not hold the idea of ​​'I want to unify this land like Qin State', but hold the idea of ​​'I Can it be unified?' Such a question."

Taoist Guanshan hesitated, "...are you comparing yourself to Emperor Qin?"

"...It's not so arrogant, I just want to express that some things may not be correct at this stage." Lu Zhengyi went downstairs, turned around and looked at Taoist Guanshan upstairs, "But in the future In the eyes of other people, maybe I'm right?"

……

……

"Mr. Li, it's really not that we don't want to cooperate. We are a low-budget movie."

"No, I really don't mean to eat alone. Yes, the market is so big, everyone has money to make money together, it's really good to be friendly, but Director Lu saves money, there is really no need for so much money to make a movie."

"How much? Vote for 2000 million for fun? No... He may not have the amount you have for the entire film. If you really vote for this, who will count our film as?"

"No, I don't make much money from a movie, I just barely make ends meet. After all, the company has such a large number of people waiting to eat. More money and less share? Actually, it's okay, but Director Lu has more rules. He makes movies. When he was working, he didn’t want others to criticize his films.”

"Yes, people can't be stuffed, have you heard? Apart from this, there are actually some conditions, such as extra people can't be present, right, right, producer or something, really not. Another example is if the crew needs to cooperate in the middle, Things like money, venues, and local cooperation must be coordinated.”

"Indeed, you understand very well, that is, you put money, relationships, etc. into the crew, and then pretend that you don't know about it, and just sit and wait for the proceeds to arrive. Alas, the main problem is trust , Mr. Li, you have to have enough trust in our light and shadow, and enough trust in Director Lu..."

……

Lu Zhengyi looked at Zhang Xueming, who was on the opposite side of the desk, talking freely, and followed Mr. Li on the phone to say something.

But it can be heard that people do not accept the conditions.

"One by one."

After a long time, Zhang Xueming hung up the phone and shook his head, "I also want to make money, but I don't trust us, but there is no risk in doing business."

As she spoke, her tone was faint and a little complacent.

These people called one by one, and they refused in desperation, which further showed her vision.

Not everyone can be like me, who can discern the pearl before they are famous, and directly give them so much trust.

"I can't help it. There are too many things about the production team cheating investors' money. If we don't arrange more producers and staff to watch internally, not many people will trust outsiders."

Lu Zhengyi's attitude is very casual, "It seems that there was a TV series before, and the reason for going out to shoot real scenes, the whole crew went abroad for a trip at public expense, and I heard that everyone made a quota of at least [-] yuan. .”

"Not to mention those directors and actors, they just washed their feet with red wine, and even bought the producer sent by the investor."

"If it weren't for the excessive expenses, there would be a bunch of missing items to be reimbursed every day, and they would directly arrange for someone to go abroad to investigate. I don't know that such a thing happened."

Several production companies and sponsors together have a project worth over [-] million yuan, directly supporting this group of people to have fun everywhere.

It's over, what the crew produced in the end was a perfunctory film, and the most expensive special effects were made more like a product from more than ten years ago.

And such things, in fact, there are not many in the circle.

This may be regarded as an alternative traditional culture.

The 7000 million project goes through the public account and enters the crew, leaving only 7000 million, and the [-] million crew is divided into one point, the director, assistant director, producer... take the big head, the actors get the small head, and the camera crew and props are done. Groups, venue groups... buy some miscellaneous things and eat some more, and if the remaining half of the money that can be used for real shooting is left, it is considered a success.

Of course, the name of the promotion is still in the unit of "[-] million", and everyone tacitly makes money.

However, if the audience is willing to pay the bill in the end, investors will not really lose money.

But under this kind of atmosphere, investing in Cypriots has become a matter of course.

Actors can be stuffed, scene notes can go through the back door, props can also enter, and post-editing is not picky... There are seven or eight factions in a crew, and the accounts are more and more confused.

"It's too troublesome. I don't like to deal with such troublesome things." Lu Zhengyi shook his head, "In short, if you can't do it according to my conditions, then don't share it."

"Director Lu, if you don't like some things, you can stop doing them." Zhang Xueming was quite helpless, "Before you were unknown, no one paid attention to you, and no one thought that this market could be saved, so forget it."

"We all have three hit movies, three."

"In fact, you should have noticed recently that the atmosphere is different from before. Some people fish in troubled waters and then pour black water on you, like the young man who asked you questions at the interactive scene before, although he claims to be a hobby of spirit exploration Or, your loyal movie fan, but no matter how I look at it, I seem to be looking for trouble."

Having said that, she paused, "Of course, it's also possible that I see people through colored glasses."

"This industry is secretly pouring black water, stepping on each other, and engaging in too many reverse operations. Just this year, in addition to Bai Shaoshang's Nightmare, there will be two more dramas that will start filming. When the time is over, someone will jump out and step on your film and say good things about them."

This kind of operation is not based on the quality of the film, but on the money.

Lu Zhengyi smiled, "Yes, why don't I believe it."

"Your family has been in this circle for so many years, of course I trust your judgment."

"But so what? Audiences can judge good or bad. As for impression points, my impression points are earned one movie at a time, and it's not so easy to be defeated."

His confident smile made Zhang Xueming a little worried.

"The audience can indeed tell the difference between good and bad, but it takes time. In fact, a simpler solution can be used." She tried to persuade, "You lower the threshold for investment cooperation a little bit, and I will check it for you and recruit some reliable people." Spectrum, less random cooperation."

"One, two, three... Sometimes, the investors behind a film are not just dividends, they can also be used as a shield."

"It's like if an artist has received enough endorsements, enough commercials, and enough dramas to be broadcast, then even if he has a problem with his personal conduct, there are still a lot of people who will keep him, because once something happens to him, The capital chain involved is too wide, and several or even a dozen projects fell through directly."

One person, two people, three people... That's how the umbrella is held up.

If Lu Zhengyi's film is not only standing behind Guangying, but also big companies such as Tianxing Media, Tangguo Film and Television, Jiacheng Media, Sun Never Sets Entertainment, Tenrui Century...etc.

Don't talk about spending money to hire people to step on others, even if they are jealous, they don't dare to be jealous.

Seeing people making money, I have to go up and say 'Congratulations, Director Lu. '

"Ah Ming, in fact, we have talked about this issue before." Lu Zhengyi spread his hands, "During the last chat, I authorized you the online copyright trading of Mantra, and then Shuangtong, didn't we cooperate very well? .”

"You blocked a lot of things. A company as big as Xingyu didn't benefit from your management."

"Let's just keep going like this."

Zhang Xueming pursed her lips and stared at him.

After a while, she let go, and replied helplessly:
"I have already said, I am me, and the company is the company."

"I don't have enough qualifications now. The person sitting in the position of CEO is not me, but my father."

"Forget it, since you are so persistent, then I will try my best."

Although Lu Zhengyi usually looks amiable, he is particularly stubborn in certain insistences.

But who made him become his biggest partner without knowing it, so he can only cooperate as much as possible.

When you really can't cooperate anymore, and your ability is limited, try to persuade him again.

"That's right, I'm still very relieved of Mr. Zhang's methods." Lu Zhengyi stood up with a smile, "Okay, I'm here to report to you the time of the start-up today, Children's Day on June [-]st."

"When the time comes to Hong Kong City to shoot, if you have time, come and attend the opening ceremony.

"Of course, it's fine if you don't have time. I think you've been very busy recently."

Zhang Xueming also stood up, with a tired face, and replied:
"It's true that I'm a little busy, but it's a good thing to be busy."

"You may not be able to attend the opening ceremony. Recently, the self-media bloggers signed by the company have begun to arrange to participate in some activities. If we really start to invest resources in operations, we will have more things to do."

"However, if you need it, you can still contact me directly. I basically read your news every day before going to bed."

While talking, she helped Lu Zhengyi open the office door.

"There is no need to send it."

Lu Zhengyi looked at her, "If you have time, you should give yourself more room to rest. Although you are young, you can't suffer like this."

"That's no good, you are now a big customer of our Light and Shadow." Zhang Xueming waved his hand, and said disgustedly after leaving the door, "But in the future, can you stop saying such horrible things."

"fear?"

Lu Zhengyi was a little puzzled.

"Well, some time ago, an employee in our company asked for leave because his friend stayed up late to work overtime and died suddenly, and he was only in his early twenties." Zhang Xueming led the way in front, and at the same time, explained in a low voice , "I have been proposing to the company to have a general medical examination for all employees recently."

"Hey, so..."

Lu Zhengyi replied, just about to say something.

But as he spoke, his expression froze.

"what happened?"

He stopped, and Zhang Xueming, who was leading the way, also stopped, and turned around with some doubts.

"The employee you mentioned, shouldn't it be the one over there?"

Lu Zhengyi glanced at the sign on the glass door, "Marketing team?"

At the same time, his eyes turned to the inside of the glass door.

At a workstation very close to the glass, a young man was immersing himself in typing on the keyboard, working seriously.

And next to him, another young man pointed at him, commanding something from time to time, and he was very excited.

But the strange thing was that the other people beside him didn't seem to see this man's excited appearance, and they were working independently.

"how do you know?"

Zhang Xueming moved closer suspiciously, and followed his gaze into the glass.

Lu Zhengyi looked down at her, and took a step back in time.

"I won the lottery. Your employee's friend may become my employee." He said softly, and then stretched out his hand to embrace Zhang Xueming, who was a little unsteady when he heard these words, "You are weak in energy and blood!" Ah, I can't even stand up."

"Excuse me."

Zhang Xueming replied apologetically, stood up quickly, and looked solemnly at the employee named A Hua inside the glass door.

Next to him... is there anything at this moment?
