Chapter 202 This play is a bit unorthodox(1/2)

Just try?

What kind of statement is this?

Qiu Ming's heart skipped a beat, feeling that he had done something wrong.

Because a person whom he had only met once left a good impression, and then Baba led Zhuo Lan over just for a phone call. Thinking about it now, it was really a bit reckless.

Seeing Qiu Ming's silence, the man might have felt that he had said something wrong, so he took the initiative and said to Qiu Ming: "Brother, don't worry, if there are reliable people doing things because of the boss, I won't trouble you in vain."

Qiu Ming's mind turned. Although the situation was not quite right, he still said that he came here just to support Zhang Ruoyin. After all, he was the man who won the Best New Director at the SED Youth Film Festival.

Accumulating connections...

If you can't, just decline to leave after the audition...

Thinking of this, Qiu Ming immediately calmed down and said with a smile: "It's okay, just treat it as coming to Shaanxi Forest for fun. Anyway, I haven't been here before."

After a slight pause, he asked the man again: "Brother, what's your name? My name is Qiu Ming."

"I know your name is Qiu Ming, my name is Quan Jingfa, and they all call me Afa."

"Oh, Fa Ge!"

Qiu Ming smiled and asked, "I wonder what the name of the movie that Brother Zhang asked us to come over to audition for is?"

Panoramic Hair said casually: "It seems to be called No One's Noise or something."

"Well……"

The corner of Qiu Ming's mouth trembled slightly: "It's called no one making noise? Are you sure, Brother Fa?"

Panorama thought for a while and shook his head: "I'm not sure. I just heard it that day and didn't remember it."

"..."

Qiu Ming was helpless.

What's more, the crew didn't even know the name of the movie.

This thing... feels increasingly unreliable.

Qiu Ming originally wanted to ask the name of the movie so that he could use "plot prediction" to predict it, but now...it probably won't work.

I'm not even sure about the movie's name. If I get it wrong, who knows if a system prop will be wasted.

I have no choice but to wait until I meet Zhang Ruoyin and find out the name of the movie.

Qiu Ming pondered for a moment and then launched a new round of questions: "Brother Fa, I wonder what you do in the crew?"

"Assistant director!"

This time, the tall man's answer was simple and certain.

Assistant Director...

Qiu Ming was even speechless.

Even the assistant director doesn’t know the name of the movie, this... this...

Qiu Ming's heart sank: "How many people are there in the crew now?"

"There are already more than 30 people living together. Now we are just waiting for the equipment and actors to arrive before we can start filming."

More than thirty people?

Qiu Ming is not a rookie. When he followed Zhuo Lan in the crew, he had some understanding of the composition of the crew.

Although he has never been with a film crew, he also knows that a film crew must have at least 100 people, and a larger one can have 300 to 500 people. These are the configurations under normal circumstances.

Of course, if you think about the so-called big productions produced by famous directors, the number of people in the crew is even larger. Thousands are done every minute, and this does not even count as extras.

Now when we arrive at Zhang Ruoyin's place...well, there are only thirty people. How should I put it? It's a bit too few.

There is only one-third of the normal crew, which gives people the impression that it is a less serious crew.

Qiu Ming is a serious person, and he is very particular about doing things in an orderly manner. A crew like Zhang Ruoyin really makes him a little bit intimidated.

He no longer wanted to ask any more questions, and was going to go over and take a look, let Zhuo Lan try it out, and go through the motions before leaving.

The car passed through the entire Shaanxi forest and soon entered the suburbs in the opposite direction to the airport, stopping at one of the villages.

This village is quite interesting, with a strong Qin-Shaanxi village style, very classic.

In the courtyard where the car stopped, there was a large elm tree. It was growing lush and green at this time, which was the time when the elm money was edible.

Most people in the land of Qin and Shaanxi like to plant elm trees because elm money is edible. In ancient times, people could use elm money to fill their stomachs during times of famine. Therefore, it has been passed down as a folk custom. Planting an elm tree at home will give you peace of mind.

Of course, it is difficult to see such small courtyards in cities, let alone planting trees. Only in these villages on the outskirts of the city can such courtyards and trees be found.

Qiu Ming and Panorama Fa unloaded their luggage from the car together, and then walked into the courtyard with Zhuo Lan and Zhuo Lan's assistant. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Zhang Ruoyin sitting in the courtyard, chatting with two other people.

They sat around a wooden table, with a small square bench under their buttocks. The location was just in the shade under the elm tree, and it looked really comfortable.

"Brother Zhang!"

Qiu Ming said hello first.

Jingjingfa also said: "Because of the boss, I brought the person back."

Zhang Ruoyin and the other two people raised their heads and looked this way.

Zhang Ruoyin stood up, faced Qiu Ming, and said enthusiastically: "Brother, thank you for your hard work. You really helped me a lot this time. It's rare that you come here with just a phone call. Thank you!"

Qiu Ming was still thinking of going through the motions, but when he heard Zhang Ruoyin say this, he smiled cheekily and said: "Brother Zhang called me because he thinks highly of me and Zhuo Lan, so we had to come over and have a look no matter what.

"

"Come, let me introduce you..."

Zhang Ruoyin first nodded to Zhuo Lan, then took Qiu Ming and introduced the other two people to them.

One of these two people is the screenwriter of the crew, and the other is the photographer of the crew.

The screenwriter's name is Zhang Shan, which sounds like Zhang San from Zhang San Li Si, but it is actually Shan, who is said to be Zhang Ruoyin's brother and a primary school Chinese teacher.

Because I usually like to write scripts, I wrote a story based on real events. Knowing that Zhang Ruoyin was the director, I gave the script to Zhang Ruoyin, and Zhang Ruoyin finally asked for the script.

The photographer is Zhao Huanghuang, a classmate of Zhang Ruoyin. He was originally an amateur photographer. He was dragged by Zhang Ruoyin to shoot his first movie, and then he continued to make independent films with Zhang Ruoyin.

In Zhang Ruoyin's words, Zhao Huanghuang is his royal photographer.

Zhao Huanghuang talks a lot and is a talkative person. He introduced himself to Qiu Ming as soon as they met.

He also talked about the origin of his name. Zhao is his father's surname, Huang is his mother's surname, and Huang was given by a very powerful fortune teller that his grandmother found, who said that he will achieve great success in the future.

Qiu Ming wanted to laugh when he heard this. He had to join the society. Otherwise, how could one general achieve so much?

After everyone sat down, Zhang Ruoyin talked about the reason for calling Qiu Ming: "We originally decided on a heroine, but she came midway and then left again, saying that she had taken on another film...

…”

Qiu Ming listened quietly. He probably thought that the crew disliked the simplicity of the crew, so he originally made an appointment to join the crew, but he took on another role at the last minute and left.

As an agent, Qiu Ming knows all the details here and couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you sign a contract before? Why did you just leave?"

Zhang Ruoyin shook his head and said: "We didn't sign a contract. We mainly negotiated and didn't care about it. I didn't expect them to change their mind at the last minute."

Didn't even sign the contract...

This is too immoral!

Qiu Ming couldn't help but think so.

No matter how I look at it, I feel like this crew is not serious.

Qiu Ming asked again: "What about the other actors? They haven't signed a contract yet? Well, what about the crew? Have they signed a contract?"

Zhang Ruoyin shook his head: "No."

After a slight pause, he said with some certainty: "Don't worry, the people who can come to the crew are all my brothers. I have been working with them for several years, so I still have this trust."

Qiu Ming didn't know what to say. He thought that maybe people who make independent films are already in this mode, and what he pays attention to does not apply here.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Ming thought it would be better to ask the name of the movie first, so he asked: "Brother Zhang, what is the name of your movie?"

"Silent noise."

Zhang Ruoyin seemed to think for a while before answering in a very calm manner.

At that moment, Qiu Ming felt that this guy was a bit pretentious.

He couldn't explain why he felt like this. Anyway, he just felt that when Zhang Ruoyin said the name of the movie, there was no need to do it like this, but if he did it like this, it was... very pretentious, with a bit of a literary flavor.

That kind of.

Qiu Ming had seen this kind of middle-school literary temperament in a classmate before. He obviously wanted to show off something, but he suppressed it and didn't show it. In his heart, he was actually proud of what he had done... But, he was most helpless.

The thing is, in fact, others don't care at all.

Zhang Ruoyin felt like this at this moment.

It's rare to see this in a man in his thirties, it's quite strange.

Qiu Ming had seen other independent film directors acting wild at Cao Yun's wine table.
