Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 403

Lu Yongru nodded after listening.

There is some truth to what Ma Helin said.

Just shoot this "Yi Tian Tu Long" by myself, with a budget as high as 1.5 million!

This is also his biggest investment in a martial arts film.

This is the last vote for me to play, so let's play the big one.

From actors to stage beauty to costumes, etc., you can't pay attention to it.

Ma and Lin continued to express their opinions.

"Don't look down on our script, but I dare to bet that this "Swordsman" he made will definitely lose money in the future!"

"Lao Ma, why are you so sure?" Lu Yongru asked.

"As I said before, martial arts movies require a lot of investment. If Yu Dongqing really makes cheap clothes and five-cent special effects in order to save costs, will the films look good?"

"There is another reason."

"what reason?"

"Old Lu, our movie is staged during the Spring Festival, and Yu Dongqing's one will definitely not be able to catch up. It is estimated that it will be after March next year. You think the audience has just watched a martial arts blockbuster. By the way, Jiachuang has another one!"

"After watching two martial arts movies in one go, who will remember to watch martial arts again? Similarly, preconceived ideas, after watching ours, will he be interested in his one?"

Indeed, it is an advantage to dare to stage the film during the Spring Festival, and this is a film made by Huangdu Film and Television itself, so its theater chains will be somewhat inclined when filming.

However, Lu Yongru felt that Ma Helin's words were exaggerated.

"Old Ma, I believe in Yu Dongqing's ability. Even if his movie can't make a lot of money, it should be no problem to keep capital."

Ma Helin shook his head.

"Save capital? I don't think so. Why don't we make a bet, Lao Lu?"

"What bet?"

"If Yu Dongqing loses money with this movie, how about you set a table for us in Donglaishun, and vice versa?"

"Okay!" Lu Yongru readily agreed.

While Lu Yongru and Lu Yongru were discussing over breakfast at the hotel, Yu Dongqing and Li Wan were also sitting in the base hotel having breakfast.

What I ate was Guilin's special snack-Camellia oleifera.

According to Wu Lili, the birthplace of Camellia oleifera is in Gongcheng, and it was later spread to Guilin.

The method of camellia oleifera here is different from that of other places. First, the tea is drained, and then it is fried with ginger, peanuts, garlic, coriander, etc. and then boiled with water to make camellia oleifera soup. After boiling, the tea and other ingredients are filtered out, leaving the soup.Add one or two spoons of fried rice in the bowl, plus the unique oil tea soup, which is very distinctive.When Yu Dongqing came to Guilin, she was still not used to eating it, but later she fell in love with this special food, so she likes to eat this in the morning when she comes to Guilin this time.

The two were eating oil tea, and Li Wan was looking at his phone while eating.

Yu Dongqing didn't have that habit.

This meal, especially the special food, is like drinking tea. It needs to be savored carefully. If you are half-hearted, you will not be able to taste the beauty of it.

Li Wan was not as particular as Yu Dongqing. He ate his oil tea, stared at his phone, and suddenly said, "The movie "Yi Tian Shou Long" filmed by Lu Yongru has already finished."

"So fast?" Yu Dongqing was a little surprised.

"Catch the Spring Festival schedule."

Oh.
This year's Chinese New Year is at the beginning of the second month, and the time is quite tight.

"Hey, if we do it earlier, we can also make it to the Spring Festival." Li Wan said with a sigh.

"Earlier? No matter how early we can't catch up with the Spring Festival, we are not in a hurry." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

"Let's go, go to work!" Yu Dongqing stood up.

At this moment, the production director hurried over: "Old Li, Director Yu, Zhao Sisi asked for leave today, saying that he has a cold and his stomach is not feeling well, probably because the food last night was not to his liking."

"Ask for leave again?! Ask for leave twice in three days, what's going on?" Li Wanyi frowned.

"Forget it, let her rest if she's not feeling well, let's shoot the next scene." Yu Dongqing said gently.

"Then it's Zhao Yawen's rivalry with Li Yunjie."

"Then let them prepare."

But what Yu Dongqing didn't expect was that for a whole week, Zhao Sisi hid in the hotel and couldn't come out, either it was uncomfortable here or there.

No, I just finished talking yesterday and filmed the part where Linghu Chong and his younger junior sister were ordered by their teacher to reinforce Lin Zhennan's bridge section this morning. A large group of people had already set up equipment outside and everything was ready, but Zhao Sisi was nowhere to be seen!

"Mingmei, why don't you call her and ask her what's going on?" Yu Dongqing said.

Mingmei is not only the leading role, but also has the title of assistant director, helping Yu Dongqing when she has nothing to do.

Mingmei didn't say anything after hearing this, she went to a nearby pine tree and picked up her mobile phone to make a call.

After a few minutes, she came back again and said in a low voice, "She said that her aunt is here and needs to rest."

What the hell!

Today is not a martial arts show!
It is indeed a troublesome thing for an actress to have her aunt come during filming, and it is impossible for the crew to stop endlessly, it depends on the performance of the actress and the attitude of the director.

Of course, Yu Dongqing would not be so demanding to let the actors go into the water or hang on to the wire at this time, but some literary dramas with little action are important to shoot, right? "

Seeing Yu Dongqing's unsightly expression, Mingmei hurriedly said, "Why don't you shoot my scene first."

But Yu Dongqing shook her head: "Zhao Sisi has already owed a lot of performances, and the set props have already been set up. It would be a waste of time and money to dismantle and rebuild."

"What should I do?"

"Let me see if there are other shots to shoot." Yu Dongqing said and picked up the script.

Wu Lili stood on the side.

Her job is to accompany the crew all day and solve some minor problems.

Something went wrong with the device.

Need to re-borrow props

Contact the group leader to find a group performer

The lunch box delivered at noon today is not good
She plays a role of communication and coordination. After all, she is a staff member of the base, so it is much more convenient to do things.

But she can't do anything about the problems encountered in today's crew.

The extras are not suitable, she can help to find them, but she is the second female lead, so you can't just recruit someone to make up the number, right?
Hey.
It seems that being a director is not easy.

Seeing Yu Dongqing's appearance, she couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

Yu Dongqing flipped through the script and suddenly felt a little irritable.

In the early stage of the script, Zhao Sisi had a lot of scenes, if this continues, the shooting plan will be completely disrupted!
No, try again with someone else?

As soon as Yu Dongqing looked up, she saw Wu Lili standing not far from him.

what.
Her image and temperament are also good.

Although she is not as beautiful as Zhao Sisi, she is more natural and simple than Zhao Sisi.

Natural to carve.

With a heartbeat, he waved to the girl: "Wu Lili, come here."

"What's the matter with Director Yu?" Wu Lili said quickly.

"Can you dance?" Yu Dongqing asked without thinking.

"I'm from the Yao nationality. We Yao people like to dance." Wu Lili replied with a smile.

"Then have you studied acting?"

Wu Lili thought for a while and asked, "Does it count if you participated in a drama troupe at school?"

just OK.

"Then try playing this role today." Yu Dongqing said.

"Me?" Wu Lili was surprised.

"Well, try Mingmei, tell her a play, Han Qingqing, and prepare to make up and change clothes for him!"

Half an hour later, a pretty woman in gray Confucian clothing stood in front of Yu Dongqing.

Good
Although she is less beautiful than Zhao Sisi, she is more eccentric.

She really looks like Yue Lingshan.

Of course, you have to try a mirror.
