Chapter 384 The Corner

Chapter 384 Corner

Seeing Xu Rong's face full of confusion, Du Qifeng said, "I told you during the day today?"

After the words "sayed something", Xu Rong remembered that Du Qifeng did say hello to him during the day, but he was chatting with Zhao Junkai at that time, and Du Qifeng's words were completely out of the blue and till the end, he subconsciously thought he was going to talk about things related to the drama.

Zhao Junkai pulled Du Qifeng into the door and said, "Let's not stand in the corridor. Go in and say, "Look at our outfits, I don't know if I thought we were going to poach polar bears."

When the two of them sat in the living room, Xu Rong walked into the bedroom and said, "Hey, I said you two wear three layers inside and three layers outside. What are you going to do?"

Zhao Junkai also looked at Du Qifeng in confusion. He was wearing so thick because Du Qifeng told him to "wear all the thick clothes!", but Du Qifeng still didn't explain what he was going to do.

"You will know later." Du Qifeng saw Xu Rong's hair was wet, so he reminded him, "You blow dry your hair first. By the way, you must put on the thickest clothes."

Combined with Du Qifeng's statement of "catching thieves", Xu Rong vaguely made a guess and stopped asking questions. Instead, he said: "Old Du, please give me a clear idea. If you maintain the current quality, how much will it cost?"

This is what he cares about. The original total budget of 40 million yuan, plus the 30 million that Liu Yanming had just remitted to the finance department today, has now invested 70 million yuan. The risk of losing money has increased sharply, which means that even if the total box office of "Drug War" finally reached 200 million yuan, although Hairun made a profit on the books, it actually did a loss-making business.

Because favors are accidental events, not the result of normal operations, with the market price after this year's soaring market, his salary is about 30 million.

The actual investment and favorable investment of "Drug War" are converted into cash exactly 100 million. If the box office share and advertising revenue cannot be profitable, then Hairun Film's "opening is popular" will probably turn into a dark door. At that time, what the capital market sees is no longer Hairun's huge potential in the film market, but the comprehensive embarrassing situation of Hairun's group in the entertainment industry.

However, Liu Yanming, who has been left behind by the times, still retains his inexplicable stubbornness. As the foundational work of Hairun Pictures, he extremely resists any implanted advertisements in "The War of Drugs".

As Xu Rong, who has already bought Hairun's original stock and is waiting to make some pocket money on the listing, is also unable to accept the bleak box office ending of "Drug War".

The cold endorsement of the endorsement market made him deeply realize a sense of gap that he had never felt before.

When you walk uphill, everyone is happy to push it, just like cooking oil in a fire, but whenever there is a sign of going downhill, the wall will fall and everyone will push it.

"The Number" has just finished broadcasting, and his appeal among the audience is still strong, but because he has said goodbye to the small screen for a while, the market has already begun to wait for a price.

The merchant has the intention to invite him to endorse, but it is no longer as strong as in previous years. This can be seen from most of the quotations that have declined compared to last year.

The box office of "Drug War" was lower than expected, and Hairun Pictures will be in a slump, which is similar to him. It completely offended the Hong Kong circle and does not have strong appeal, so he will only become the most typical negative textbook.

No matter how popular the mainland actors are, they will be the negative teaching materials for the starring actors.

Du Qifeng didn't hear what he was saying for a moment. Seeing Xu Rong putting on the body with thermal underwear, he suddenly straightened up and said, "Stop, wait a moment."

Xu Rong stood barefoot on the soft carpet and asked, "What's wrong?"

Du Qifeng looked at the smooth lines of his upper body and said incredibly: "I really didn't see it before that you actually maintain such a good figure!"

Zhao Junkai was no longer surprised and said with a smile: "You only know that when Xu Rong was filming, a director accidentally took a look at his body and forced him to add a wonderful close-up of more than thirty years."

Du Qifeng thought about this sentence, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, because after spending more than a month of time together, he found that Xu Rong's self-discipline ability was simply terrible.

The moment Xu Rong put his thermal underwear on his head again, looking at the outline of his abdominal muscles revealed by his arms lifting, Du Qifeng felt an explosion of inspiration in his mind, and many wonderful ideas emerged instantly.

He must show Xu Rong's figure to audiences across the country!

Zhao Junkai looked at Du Qifeng with his eyes staring at Xu Rong, and smiled and joked: "Why, Director Du, do you also have the urge to bring this kind of beauty to the screen?"

"beautiful?"

"Don't you think this kind of line has an artistic beauty?" Zhao Junkai said and patted his consistent belly, "especially in comparison with our situation."

"No, no, no." Du Qifeng shook his head decisively, "What I see is not the beauty, but the part where his and Cai Tianming's personality overlap."

"I always believe that all technologies, inspirations, and ideas must serve the plot. No matter how exciting the ideas are, if they cannot serve the plot, they should not be presented to the audience."

Zhao Junkai didn't pay attention to it, but he finally accepted it in the second half, but he missed the main content of Du Qifeng's speech and asked, "What does it mean?"

Du Qifeng did not answer him immediately and asked back: "What kind of personality do you think of Xu Rong's character who showed his upper body?"

Although a year has passed, Liu Xinjie turned his back to the camera, waved his hands casually and said "Get off work~", as if it was engraved in his mind, saying, "Overall, it should be cynical."

Du Qifeng slapped his hands and said, "Then this director must be a third-rate director. You are a cynical character, but you have such a perfect figure. Isn't that a contradiction?!"

Zhao Junkai is difficult to respond. The "third-rate director" mentioned by Du Qifeng is nothing else, but Liu Jiang, director of "Before Dawn" and "The Beautiful Era of a Wife".

If Liu Jiang has become a third-rate director, then which other TV director in the mainland dares to say that he is a second-rate director with a slap in his chest?

Du Qifeng didn't think so much and said, "I do want to take pictures, but it's definitely not for the sake of display. Think about it, a thirty-year-old man and a person whose profession has no requirements for his figure. How strong is the self-management ability to maintain this figure all year round?"

Du Qifeng took a light in his mind and explained that in his opinion, Xu Rong's ability to maintain such a figure as an actor represents his strong self-management ability. This also applies to the role of Cai Tianming, a drug lord who can play the people's guards and escape from the sky surrounded by hundreds of people's guards with live ammunition. He must have extraordinary features that ordinary people cannot reach.

What most ordinary people lack the most is this terrifying self-discipline.

Zhao Junkai suddenly remembered a strange thing about Xu Rong when discussing whether there is a market for the spy war after "Before Dawn" at an internal group meeting.

"If Xu Rong loses his body management one day, he will soon become no different from others."

At that time, he didn't understand very well. After Du Qifeng said this today, he understood the chairman's starting point. In terms of IQ, Xu Rong only scored 618 points in the college entrance examination, which can only be said to be a medium-level level. In terms of behavior, he can barely be considered middle-level. In terms of business ability, there are basically no opponents in the 80s and 70s generations, but after all, there are so many 50s and 60s generations still active. Therefore, overall, he seems to be a little stronger than ordinary people, but the strength is limited. But there are only one thing, maybe it is because he experienced too much suffering too early. He determined what he wanted at the age of many people. It is even more rare that he found a way to achieve it.

He left 99% of his peers in this regard.

What completely left the rest of his peers behind was his unwavering determination to achieve his goals along the preset approach to achieve his goals.

Xu Rong saw Du Qifeng looking at him with a consultation gaze and said, "I still say the same thing. As long as you think the show is good and does not violate the relevant requirements, I don't mind."

Seeing that Xu Rong did not refuse, Du Qifeng immediately took out his cell phone and said, "I'll make a call first."

"Hey, Jiahui, you discussed with Naihai. I thought of a new plot, which is to portray his character from the side by showing the explosive figure of the character Cai Tianming."

"Is time? I have time. At worst, we can shoot this scene in the end. I believe Xu Rong can definitely practice it."

Xu Rong and Zhao Junkai looked at each other. Du Qifeng was not as good as his age, but he turned out to be a train owner who was full of words.

But thinking about it is true that if you are a director or a producer, you may not be able to do anything else, but if you brag, you will definitely be strong, otherwise you will not be able to invest hundreds of millions of dollars from the investors who are tempted by ghost spirits.

After Du Qifeng hung up the phone, Xu Rong had just changed her clothes, took out the thickest down jacket from the closet and put it on her body, and said, "Let's go."

After going downstairs, the three of them took advantage of the night to arrive at the hotel's open-air parking lot.

In the past, when filming, the crew usually parked on the curb next to the hotel, because few traffic police came to check illegal parking in the middle of the night.

However, since he was cheated last time, Xu Rongxue has been honest and can be cheated if he parked in a parking space on the side of the road. If he illegally parked, he would probably have to pay as much as he wanted. Therefore, he specifically instructed Wang Hui that even if the work was done at 2 a.m., the car must park in the parking lot.

When we arrived at the big brigade that Zhao Junkai was driving near the main entrance, Du Qifeng squatted down, pulled open his handbag, took out the intercom and a short black stick ten centimeters long, and said, "We will use the intercom later. This is a multi-functional electric stick. Press this button as a flashlight. Press it twice in a row and you will be the electric stick. Wait for a while."

Xu Rong looked at Du Qifeng's equipment and was stunned by the fright. He raised his head, looked at the dark parking lot, and asked in a low voice: "Old Du, let's do such a big battle, we won't catch anyone stealing oil, right?"

Similar things happen from time to time in every crew, just the smallest part of the silence cost, because as long as the fuel cost is kept within a relatively reasonable range, you can't steal much.

The real big head is some rental fees that are difficult to find alternatives, such as shooting venues. After watching the external contact filming, he said, "What, I said, 100,000 a day, no bargaining!" Even though he was so angry that he felt pain, but because of the shooting, it was not necessary. However, only the external contact filming producer knew it in his heart.

"I'll get in the car later and explain in detail."

Du Qifeng said to himself: "I have prepared three cars in total. Planner Zhao, you are in your car to prevent the thief from running out of the main gate. I will go to a car near the back door and get stuck. Xu Rong, go to the Volvo you parked inside."

Xu Rong hesitated and said, "I'd better go to the back door. Don't look at this thing as a huge lethality. Just the length of this footer is not that I look down on you. If you really meet me, you might as well take a brick to make it real. At least you can use the brick as a shield."

Du Qifeng hesitated and nodded, "Okay, but be careful, if the other party really fights hard, don't fight with others head-on, safety is the first priority."

Xu Rong, as Du Qifeng said, arrived at the back door of the parking lot and got into a Poxiali, whom he didn't know where to get the call. As soon as he turned on the intercom, Zhao Junkai's voice came from inside: "Damn it, it's so cold."

Xu Rong smiled and said, "I'm not only cold, but also hard. I used to think that Mazda is the worst car with the comfort level, but today I realized that Xiali is even more deadly."

The walkie-talkie suddenly became quiet. Among the three, Xu Rong's original accumulation of wealth was the earliest relative to his age. He was suffering for seventeen years. After 20 years, the money he earned every day was hundreds or thousands of times the total of the past twenty years. This also led to his understanding of the car's comfort limit, which stayed on his early Mazda.

After about half a minute, Zhao Junkai suddenly suggested: "No, we are here to catch thieves, not thieves. We can turn on the air conditioner, right?"

Du Qifeng, who had not said anything, immediately said: "No, others must know that someone is in the car!"

Xu Rong: "Old Du, what's going on? How do you make sure someone will come to steal oil? Let's wait like that?"

Du Qifeng: "I carefully checked the oil bill and found that the Jinbei Jinbei in our crew added more than 110,000 yuan last month, so I strongly suspect that either someone steals the oil or someone reports a fake ticket, but I have asked someone to go to the gas station to verify that this Jinbei does go to refuel every day."

"Mad!" Xu Rong cursed. He had never paid attention to this. When he was following the accounts before, his main purpose was to catch Wang Hui's braid, and the others were not paid attention to at all.

Du Qifeng: "This is a temporary solution. By the way, what do you mean by saying, "Dig, what corners are you trying to dig?"

"Digging the corners of socialism!"

The walkie-talkie fell silent again, because it was too incredible to say such words from Du Qifeng.
