I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 49 [Part-time Temporary Worker]

Zhang Yuming was sweating and his face was flushed.

With his excited look, he couldn't hide anything.

"Some people in my circle of friends have been talking about our film in the past two days."

"Director Lu, are we going to catch fire?"

"Could it be that Brother Feng's promotion has worked?"

"You see that Director Lu and Director Zhang are so calm, you must have expected it a long time ago."

"That's for sure. How could the films we worked so hard to make be inferior to those special effects films under the green screen?"

……

Zhang Yuming's loud voice immediately confused the video conference that was supposed to report the work progress seriously.

I wanted to talk about this a long time ago, but other people who were held back by work couldn't wait to speak and share their inner joy.

"Fire? It's still early, the meeting is suspended."

Lu Zhengyi raised his head to look at Zhang Yuming, and asked calmly, "How is the candidate for the heroine going?"

On the side, Zhang Yu's chubby face, although cheerful, did not look excited.

The two of them are somewhat confident.

From the beginning to the end, what the two of them were afraid of was not the failure of the movie.

"Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" was filmed by all their crew members, and even invited a real ghost to shoot it. How could the quality not be good?

If it is said that the authorities are obsessed with the onlookers, as works of art, their own evaluation by the creators is not powerful and accurate enough.

Then there is director Lu Yiyong, a bystander.

He personally certified that this film is of high quality.

Therefore, they never doubt whether this is a good movie.

What Lu Zhengyi and the others were afraid of, what Lu Yiyong was afraid of, and what Guangying Media was afraid of, was that no one would watch it at all.

The stereotype of Tang Guo horror movies is like a big rock, blocking the entrance of the theater, blocking the audience's idea of ​​wanting to be there.

No one watched it, or too few people watched it, and they didn't even have that little chance.

The road was blocked from the very beginning.

But regarding this point, on the day of the premiere, Lu Zhengyi and the others were not afraid when they saw the hundreds of bad reviews popping up in the comment area.

Although, assuming that the 50 shows count as 700 seats in the general theater, it seems that there are very few viewers who are willing to leave comments among the more than [-] audiences.

It can be used as a publicity voice, but it is enough.

"Lily's teacher recommended a few candidates, and Teacher Chang and the others are asking them one by one."

When it came to work, Zhang Yuming hurriedly said, "If they have time, they will come to audition."

"several?"

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "As for the script, you can roughly disclose it to them, but don't go into too much detail."

"It must be known to some extent that our film is a bit unlucky."

"In case it's time to start filming, people don't want to act anymore."

He was referring, of course, not only to the genre of horror films, but also to the personality of this character.

The heroine of "The Curse", to be honest, can be seen from the script alone, she is a bit tricky.

From beginning to end, the whole film almost expresses a selfish image.

Therefore, while the actors are accepting the show, they must also prepare for the possibility of being scolded after the film is released.

"I'll notify Teacher Chang right now."

Zhang Yuming took out his mobile phone and planned to send a message.

But Lu Zhengyi asked again, "But for this matter, you don't seem to need to come back and talk about it in person, just send me a message."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuming paused, and raised his head with a smirk, "Speaking of this, I do have something to tell you face to face."

"It seems that this matter is very important, and the honorific title has been changed."

Lu Zhengyi glanced at the video conference that was still open, "Is it convenient to talk in front of everyone? If it is not convenient, then wait until I finish the meeting."

"...Let's talk about it later."

Zhang Yuming hesitated for a while, "Then I'll go upstairs and wait."

"Row."

Lu Zhengyi waved his hand.

While Zhang Yuming sent a message to Chang Zhengwei and the others, he went upstairs and returned to his room.

"Speaking of which, Director Lu, your home is almost becoming our studio."

Zhang Yu was by the side, watching Zhang Yuming's skillful way up the stairs, he was suddenly in a daze.

In this living room, apart from sofas and tables, there are a few desktop computers and some printed files.

Oh yes, there is also a stone statue.

Upstairs, several guest rooms are now occupied by them.

Before, when a group of more than a dozen people from the film crew moved in, Lu Zhengyi even allocated a sofa-shaped bed in his master bedroom.

This is not like a home at all, but like a small company, a family workshop.

"If the work requires it, use it."

Lu Zhengyi said casually, "Anyway, this is a place to live, and I don't regard this as my home."

Although it is said that this house was bought for him by his parents for convenience when he was in school, and his name was also written on the real estate certificate.

But for Lu Zhengyi, this place is more like a hotel suite.

Come and sleep for one night if you need it, leave it empty if you don’t need it, and don’t have the idea of ​​buying any furniture to decorate the house.

He even recently had the idea of ​​directly transforming this place into a studio.

Anyway, making movies is the only thing Lu Zhengyi is interested in now.

"Okay, let's continue the meeting."

Lu Zhengyi clapped his hands and interrupted the rhythm of gossip, "Ajie, it's time for you to report to work."

"Okay, Director Lu."

In the video, Ajie, the head of the props team, said, "I have studied the script carefully in the past few days. Regarding the props and costumes, I have made a rough list, but there is still a little bit of content."

"My side is expected to finish it in the evening. At that time, I will send the list of props to your email, and you can confirm it."

"If there are no problems with the list, then I will start recruiting people and preparing props."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "Okay, as soon as possible."

"It's been more than April now, and I hope that it will be officially launched next month at the latest."

"If you don't wait until June, half of the year has passed. After the shooting, post-production, review, this series of processes, it may be at least October or November for the official release. It is a bit too little to produce a movie a year."

Ajie nodded, "Understood."

"Xiao Wei, bring your apprentice to help Ajie prepare together, and keep an eye on the clothing matters." Lu Zhengyi thought for a while, and then assigned the makeup sister and her little apprentice to the props group, "Help in the preparation period. During this period, I will still calculate the monthly salary for you as usual."

Compared with those group performers and staff who are recruited for filming, can be replaced at any time, and receive daily wages.

The people who are meeting together now have signed additional agreements and joined the small group.

When they were asked by Lu Zhengyi to follow the group all the way, they received different treatment.

The crew is like a small company, and these people are the difference between part-time workers and temporary workers, they can be regarded as the prototype of a small team.

When Lu Zhengyi is really capable, the team will be formed immediately.

At that time, let them sign a long-term contract, and they will become regular workers from monthly temporary workers.

Even if there is no work every month, Lu Zhengyi has to pay them wages.
