I am out of control, I don't have a pattern

Chapter 33: Ridiculously Efficient
"Dad, do you have any cheaper stagehands?"

"Oh...Brother, do you have any career ideas?"

When he heard that Haodaer called to inquire about "theater affairs", Ai Shoujin immediately understood that there was work to be done, and then asked in a good mood, "What's the matter? Do you want to invest in others, or do you want to invest yourself?"

"Children's show, TV-2-7B."

There are five levels of film ratings, from TV-1 to TV-5, of which TV-2-7B is level two, but it contains virtual violent content that can be viewed by people over the age of seven, and requires parental guidance.

If it is TV-2-7A, then no parental guidance is required and there is no virtual violence content, but children under the age of seven are not allowed to watch it alone, because even if a seven-year-old child performs a sand pit jump, slide, swing, etc., it is a bad example for children aged two and above and under seven.

Li Jie is now filming "Masked Gourd Man", which will include a lot of action scenes and even explosion scenes. This is typical virtual violence content. The Sanjiang Provincial Radio and Television Communication Center will review and rate these contents. If they are too stimulating, it is not impossible to adjust the rating to TV-3-14A.

This is the movie-watching line for people aged 14, and the range is much smaller.

Therefore, in addition to finding a "stage manager" with a better cost-effectiveness to save time and effort, you also need to find a skilled "content review specialist".

The latter is as important as the former. A high level of "content review" can allow small crews with no connections to pass the review in one go, saving them the trouble of repeatedly testing the edge of danger.

"It's a children's play. It's a golden nest. You can make a lot of money."

Ai Shoujin immediately became interested, "Do you want me to be your director?"

"That's not necessary."

"..."

Feeling like a useless old father, Ai Shoujin immediately said, "Is it not possible for me to make a movie, but can I make a children's drama?"

"You can't even make a TV series, do you have any amazing works?"

"..."

After holding back from hanging up the phone, Ai Shoujin angrily said, "Just wait for me, kid!"

"Row."

What are you waiting for?
Of course, I’m waiting for the “stage management”.

Are you waiting to be criticized?

nonexistent.

Ai Shoujin, who had just returned to Guangling, was indignant at his residence: "That kid looks down on me, a father who has no achievements!"

"So what works do you have?"

Qin Yuandai brought the dishes out and put them on the table, rolling her eyes.

“Isn’t the movie I shot, ‘The Mountain and the Man’, good?”

"Did you shoot that? What do you mean by co-directing? Are you playing dumb? Cao Dele was in control of the rhythm, so you should just enjoy it secretly and you're even shaking."

"Don't eat!"

"What do you say?"

"I said I don't want to eat so much, give me less rice."

"Humph."

Ai Shoujin picked up the chopsticks in a sullen manner, then glanced at his wife cautiously. While eating, he wondered who would be the most suitable person to help Haodaer.

There is no way around it. A "big director" like him with so much experience has a lot of connections and many disciples.

There are basically no decent works, and even if there are, they are not the work of one person, but are all assigned tasks and then co-directed.

Although he said that he didn't care, only Ai Shoujin himself knew that he still cared a lot.

An "old veteran" who doesn't even have any original works to show off when he's old...

A bit ugly.

However, as he grew older, his mentality remained stable. After a good night's sleep, Ai Shoujin found a very suitable "stage manager" for his eldest son Li Jie. Strictly speaking, the person was still his student, but because he did things too "mechanically", he had not directed a scene for a long time.

In recent years, I haven't even been an assistant director and have always been doing the job of "stage manager".

But to be honest, because he is too "mechanical", even temporary directors always praise him after work. Unfortunately, there is no long-term director for him, and he is currently working between several local TV stations to make a living.

I don't know how much Li Jie pays, and Ai Shoujin is too lazy to ask. Not counting the illegal income and side income, usually those who have just entered the industry for a short time will only make about 6,000 to 7,000 yuan a month, which works out to 200 to 300 yuan a day.

Ai Shoujin thought that if Li Jie paid too much, he would not ask; if he paid too little, he would increase the salary to 500 yuan a day, so that he could earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.

"Shuguang, your junior fellow apprentice has a job in Jianye. Are you free recently? If you are free, can you help? Help arrange it."

Wu Shuguang, who was counting equipment at Chang'an TV Station, received the call and was stunned for a moment, "Teacher Ai, which junior brother?"

"My eldest brother, you know him, the one from the Red Star Welfare Home."

"Is Li Jie in Jianye?"

"I was admitted to Jianye Art College to study photography."

"That's fine, no problem for me, I'll book a ticket in a minute."

"Do you have his phone number in Jianye?"

"I have the ones in Pingjiang, but not the ones in Jianye."

"Then I'll send it to you."

"okay."

After contacting Wu Shuguang, Ai Shoujin informed Li Jie, "Do you still remember Wu Shuguang? I gave your contact information to you, Brother Wu."

"Thank you, Dad. You're awesome."

"..."

There is nothing much to say to Ai Shoujin. Anyway, I have to go to Tuzhong to perform as a dog in a few days. I can just buy some fruits on the roadside to express my gratitude.

The main task now is to meet the prerequisites for children’s New Year’s money.

If you want lucky money for your child, you must have a child first; if you want a child first, you must have a mother first; if you want a mother first, you must make her feel at ease and comfortable...

It’s a good idea to find a class for Su Mengyao to attend.

The main reason is that Su Mengyao doesn't intend to follow her mother's example and become a spendthrift woman who never touches women. She may not resist physically, but she is very resistant psychologically.

Looking at it this way, there is a good side to Vickers' alpha-dependent personality disorder.

"Wow, brother, you are awesome. Can you also make props?"

"Of course I do. I also have a pyrotechnics certificate. I'm a jack of all trades."

Others need to repeatedly model and formulate plans when making props, but he doesn’t need to because he has a complete “Masked Gourd Man Shooting Guide”.

Just follow the guide book to replicate it perfectly.

Take a special photo...

Isn’t this just a matter of having hands?

Save as much as possible on the props group.

For a 3 yuan D printer, except for the expensive consumables, everything else is not a big deal.

The three printers were quite efficient. Su Mengyao was designing clothes according to the clothing design drawings provided by Li Jie. The two of them worked together quite quickly.

When Wu Shuguang arrived in Jianye, Li Jie and Su Mengyao had already made all the sample costumes.

When I talked to Chenpi about the progress, Chenpi just ignored me and said, "Isn't this bullshit? It's the workload of a team of more than a dozen people, and you tell me that it's done?"
However, when Chen Pi went to the warehouse rented by Li Jie, he was stunned: "Fuck, Lao Li, are you asking for a spirit? This is a bit outrageous."

"Stop talking nonsense. I have a cooperation intention. Go visit the Crouching Tiger District TV station tomorrow."

"..."

Chen Pi looked depressed, "No, Lao Li, you are...making me look useless."

　I got a work injury.
