A week later, Chongqing was a waste brick and tile factory.

Executive producer Fang Guorong is a college student of the 1978th ​​class. He is classmates with Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. He is meticulously dressed in Zhongshan outfit and hair. He holds a small notebook recording data all day long and records what he thinks is important at any time. He always brings Nan Huaijin's "The Analects of Confucius" in his bag, which looks quite like a Confucian general.

But when he arrived at the brick and tile factory shooting site in the morning, he saw the group of people gathering and chatting, looking very free and casual. He judged that the situation was not good and came to Li Xiaole to remind him.

"Director Li, these people are probably very difficult to deal with..."

"Why is it hard to care about it? As long as he eats and shits, he can care about it." Li Xiaole, who was sitting on the bench and counts how many people there were in the crew, made a joke on Fang Guorong.

"Director Li is not familiar with the situation. Remember to grasp the key figures. Look at the old Jiangtou inside, the famous thorn in the factory. In the 1980s, every time the dormitory was powered off, he took the lead in organizing people to block the streets, which was extremely difficult to manage."

Li Xiaole followed his gaze and saw a group of people gathering around the crew. The bald man in his fifties and wrinkled face was slightly hunched, and he looked a little like Liu Luoguo in the TV series. He just watched him smoking a cigarette and checking the crew's list. It seemed that he was the leader of this group of people.

In other words, it would be simple to deal with him, Li Xiaole thought to himself.

Today is the first time the crew gathered together. It is a familiar process for everyone to be together and a process of finding out the bottom line between each other. These people are old employees of China Film Academy, including many of whom have followed big directors such as Chen Kai and Feng Xiaogang, so they don’t really like new directors like Li Xiaole and Ning Hao.

The actors in the crew, whether it was Sun Li, Sun Honglei, and Huang Bo, also saw this. Wang Baoqiang came over and kindly reminded Li Xiaole and said, "Director, are you giving them something?" As he said that, he made an action of counting money with two fingers.

"What does it mean to scatter~" Li Xiaole stared at him and teased him in Chongqing dialect. This silly boy also understands this?

"Money~Brother, why don't you even understand this? The crew is the world of the world, and the world needs to be managed~" Wang Baoqiang's honest face showed a helpless look.

"Okay~ Listen to you~" Li Xiaole smiled, took a briefcase from under the table, spread it out on the table, and spread it on the table, and spread it in a stack of red RMB banknotes, which made Wang Baoqiang look at him and stare at Li Xiaole and couldn't speak. He thought that there was no such kickback... This is too blatant.

The crew members of the China Film Workers saw the money on the table from afar, and their eyes were lit, but they were embarrassed to stare at it. They just pretended to chat, and secretly glanced at the corner of their eyes while discussing in a low voice.

"Xiqi, this young director is very good... I know that I have taken out the money now."

"You still thank him? Someone must have given him ideas. I think he is very young, so he might get more this time. I heard that the budget is 5 million, but I think he wants to bet at least 1 million. This is just to give us some money."

"Let Lao Jiang talk to him... We can't suffer any loss anyway."

Just when everyone was so excited by the money in their hearts, Li Xiaole was slow to call everyone to have a meeting, just kept looking at the watch.

Sun Li couldn't see it anymore, so she took the initiative to walk to him and said in a very low voice: "Director Li, let's start quickly. If you don't start, those people will probably be anxious. If you put the meat in front of the hungry dogs, you won't give it to them. If the dog is anxious, it will bite people."

"How can you curse?" Li Xiaole looked at her with a pretentious look: "Are these old artists in your heart? All these old artists are dogs?"

"I don't mean that! Metaphor, just a metaphor..." Sun Li's pretty face turned red, she was worried about this guy. Why didn't Li Xiaole care at all?

"It should be coming soon." Li Xiaole looked at the watch calmly and looked at the door.

Just when everyone was a little restless and anxious in the factory, they suddenly saw a group of 7 or 8 men walking into the door. The leader was a toothy man carrying a briefcase. Some of them were carrying cameras, some were carrying light racks, and several were carrying several large bags.

Everyone looked at the things in their hands, and couldn't help but widen their eyes and burst into tears:

"Hey, did you see that person carrying the Alephlex 535 camera~?"

"Yes, it's really... there's such a good machine in our factory. I've only seen photos... I heard that Zhang Yimou, who has the new picture, used this one to shoot "Heroes".

"I'm not dazzled... Is that one with Stenikon's photography stabilizer?"

"Did you see that person move? The posture of holding the camera has at least twenty years of skill."

Everyone was surprised and felt strange that these people were experienced veterans in the industry, and this circle was not big, so why didn’t they know anyone?

"Here, thank you all, please sit next to me." Li Xiaole stepped forward and greeted Xu Zhen and the others in Korean.

"Hug... Sorry, we're late for director." Xu Zhen touched his black face and glared at Cui Dongxun with a little embarrassed look: "It's all...it's all his fault. I can't even read a map."

"If you have the ability, come on. People who can't even speak English can't say anything." Cui Dongxun grunted with dissatisfaction and put a heavy prop box on the table.

Li Xiaole no longer talked to these two kids anymore, turned around and nodded to photographer Lao Xu and lighting master Xu Songguan, and said hello: "Thank you for your hard work, let's sit first." Then he gave Ning Hao a look, and Ning Hao hurriedly raised his hands and clapped his hands and shouted:

"It's been a meeting~ it's a meeting~ everyone comes here, and the leaders of each group come here."

In this used brick and tile factory, more than a hundred people gathered here. On the table in the middle, the team leaders of each group came to the front of the table but did not sit down. It was obvious that the people in Zhongying were waiting for the old Beijing Film Studio work clothes, with a hunchbacked and bald head, who was full of wrinkles and eyes, to sit down, and several team leaders sat down.

"Director, please introduce these brothers?" Old Jiang said calmly and pointed at Xu Zhen and his group. It was not that the crew of Zhongying could not ask people outside for help, but Li Xiaole did not say hello in advance, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Well, I just came to help. I met all of them when I was shooting in Korea. These are photographers of Tiancheng Company, director of KBS Choi Dongxun, art director of showbox Xu Zhen, and sbs lighting guru Xu Songguan..."

Li Xiaole raised his hand casually and introduced it one by one. Xu Zhen and the others couldn't understand what he was saying, but they just smiled and said hello to these Chinese colleagues, but they were very confused. Director Li mentioned SBS, what did Showbo do?

A group of old employees of China Film were asking each other: "What kind of company is Tiancheng? What kind of Bokes?" "Lao Ma, you don't know. Tiancheng and Showbox are both the top three major companies in South Korea. I heard that they are quite awesome." "KBS seems to be a CCTV in South Korea, and this is a big source..."

Lao Jiangtou and several team leaders had a shady face. What does this mean? Director Li wants to demonstrate or something? It seems that these people are quite good at it. It is not comparable to those of them who are just waiting to die. If Director Li uses all the Korean team, wouldn’t he be able to put them aside?

Several team leaders couldn't help but feel a little shrunk. However, Lao Jiang seemed to have seen some world and said calmly: "The South Korea is not bad, it's not much worse than the level in our mainland, it's also good to help us."

Li Xiaole knew at a glance that Lao Jiangtou was an old fried dough stick. It was not that easy to shock him. He just smiled and said, "It's all the same crew, and you have to cooperate with each other's work, and there is no need to divide the main and secondary ones. Let's assign the work of the prop group first." After saying that, he winked at Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen immediately understood what he meant and asked Cui Dongxu to go out and unload props in the car outside. Lao Jiang looked at him and snorted behind him: "Props group, why are you still doing while standing there? Why don't you go and help~"

The prop group followed with reluctance, and then called out a dozen people, constantly carrying bags of things from outside. Until after five minutes of moving, Lao Jiangtou felt something was wrong and strangely grabbed a prop group worker: "Mazi, how many more are there outside?"

"It's only one-fifth..." Mazi smiled bitterly.

"You can't get rid of your bad habits." Lao Jiangtou snorted angrily and pushed him to continue working. Everyone laughed and thought in his mind. The props of a crew are usually accompanied by costume accessories and background props. They are about 500 pieces in size, even if they are well prepared. Some scenes in China Film even start filming. The actors even bring their own costumes. How many movies can only invest 5 million yuan?

But when Lao Jiangtou and other experts were careful to observe, they found that the prop group actually carried large and small package boxes here one by one, with numbers, characters' names, and the number of games written on each box, which shocked Lao Jiangtou.

Koreans make such precise arrangements just for one prop. This level of meticulousness is really amazing. You should know that in general mainland movies, in addition to the character's costumes, many props are rented from ready-made costumes and leasing companies. What roles are used are all universal, and few crews work hard to customize them.
