Chapter 4 The troubled crew and the dove-free Meng Ga

"Hengdian?"

Wu Sin frowned, with some doubts in his eyes.

He actually has the same understanding of this city or region as most ordinary people.

I only know that it is a filming place and the film and television center of Hanxia. Many TV series and movies come from there.

But they never have a deep understanding of the place, let alone the idea of ​​going there.

"How about it? Do you want to try a walk-in trip?"

Pei Jianing smiled slightly.

"You won't have to leave too far, and you can start right away, and you can come back after playing. You can just relax and take a break. It will also be good for your mentality in the future."

"Then what I asked you to bring." Wu Zui hesitated to speak.

"Oh, isn't it just a salted fish? It can't be damaged."

Pei Jianing said indifferently.

This is what Wu Zui asked her to bring, some specialties from home, handmade pollution-free salted fish, and some dried seafood.

They were born in a small town near the sea. Pei Jianing took a trip back to his hometown when he returned from the army, but Wu Zui did not go back, so Wu Zui asked Pei Jianing to bring some specialties from his hometown.

And at this moment, on the other side.

Hengdian Film and Television City, the filming site of "The Giant".

"well"

At this moment, Zhou Ming, the director of "The King", was so angry that he was almost sighing into the Pacific Ocean, and he was very ready to let his sighs exacerbate global warming.

Because just like the state Zhou Ming showed at this moment, he was indeed very sad.

As a new director, Zhou Ming has just graduated from the Directing Department of Shanghai Film and Television Academy, which can be regarded as completing the first step of accumulation as a director.

Originally, he had ambitions, was about to display his talents, and had many imaginations about his future. Just like every young man who had just entered this circle, Zhou Ming also had his own dreams.

I hope to make a hit movie of my own.

This "Giant Owl" is a work that he has been polishing for nearly four years. Since his school days, he has been planning this work while accumulating himself.

He wrote the script himself, and everything came from his own hands.

He is very confident about his story, and he firmly believes that once this film can be made, it will definitely be favored in the market.

But here comes the problem.

When he was on campus, he thought perfectly.

When he really took that step of his own, he truly realized how naive his previous thoughts were, and how difficult it was to make a good film.

The impetuousness of this circle far exceeded his imagination.

The first is the issue of sponsorship.

Zhou Ming's original idea was that for such an excellent film, he would be able to easily attract a lot of sponsors, so that he would not have to worry about funding.

However, when he actually came to the door with the information to solicit sponsorship, the script and the things Zhou Ming prepared were not even looked at. They asked straight to the point how many famous actors there were.

But Zhou Ming is just a poor student who just graduated. He hasn't even set up his own private studio. Where can he find the capital to hire famous actors?

The entire film is basically composed of fresh graduates from his school who are good at acting.

So, he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and he finally got an investment of 5 million yuan.

The only actor who is still relatively well-known is someone he has been relying on for a long time. In addition, he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother and found a "former actor" because he is a current Internet celebrity.

It was a tough guy actor named Meng Ga. When this actor was young, he had filmed a work that was popular all over the country. The TV series with the theme of the Anti-Japanese War is still very famous to this day.

It's just that this Meng Ga seems to have not performed in film and television works for a long time. When Zhou Ming just found him, he was still running a live broadcast and happily selling his own wine.

In the end, it was Zhou Ming who used the maximum salary he could afford and one-fifth of his budget to bring out the only well-known actor in his group.

Moreover, Meng Ga will play the most important villain in this movie, a drug lord.

It is because of finding Meng Ga that the film has reached its current stage.

The preliminary work is all ready, and we just need to start shooting directly after the opening ceremony!

But here comes the problem. Now that everything has been planned, it stands to reason that you should be happy, but why is Zhou Ming so worried at the moment?

The reason is actually very simple, because not long ago, he had gone through so much trouble to find the backbone and life-saving straw, and he couldn't get it!

Yes, it was the former well-known actor and current Internet celebrity, Meng Ga, who beat him!

It wasn't long before the filming started, but suddenly Meng Ga asked for a salary increase. The reason was that he had some works that were well-known by the people, and he was a household name, so he shouldn't only get such a small salary.

So, he asked on the spot to let Zhou Ming add another 1 million yuan in salary!

This almost made Zhou Ming spit out blood.

The funds were originally limited, so he spent 1 million as a salary to hire Meng Ga to come out. He had already made a lot of determination and endured the feeling of having a heart attack before he gritted his teeth and took it out.

What if this was to be increased? He didn't know if the funds would be enough to make the film. After all, he was already nervous and he had already made a penny and split it in half.

Now this situation has happened again?

Zhou Ming naturally couldn't agree to this request no matter what. Since the contract was signed anyway, the other party couldn't run away, right? After all, you have to pay liquidated damages for breach of contract. Although he was grateful, he didn't set much liquidated damages.

.

But in reality, there are quite a lot of them!

But he never expected it.

Meng Ga really just rubbed oil on the soles of his feet.

The last words he left were.

"I'm still not quite suitable for the role of a drug lord. After all, as you know, I've always been a very upright person. I'm still suitable for being a man standing under the sun."

However, not long after, just a few days after Zhou Ming refused to increase his salary, the crew of the next door "Sniper" directly issued an official announcement.

Together with the national childhood idol, Meng Ga, he will co-star in the annual tough guy drama, "Sniper".

It's almost as if the feelings in capital letters are engraved on his face.

Originally, the crew next door was completely different from him. When he stood in front of others, he looked like a stinky younger brother. He had no respect at all and could kill him even if they farted.

Now it's good, the pillar that I finally found has been poached by others.

This caused the crew that had originally planned to start filming to come to a standstill, and Zhou Ming directly entered a dilemma.

This made Zhou Ming so anxious that his liver hurt.

For this temporary situation, he was asked to find another actor. There were few people suitable for this kind of role, let alone professional ones. There were not many professional actors who could handle this kind of role.

"It would be great if someone could fall from the sky and that person would be suitable for everything and look like a villain."

Of course, Zhou Ming also knew that he was daydreaming. How could such a thing happen?
