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

Chapter 71 [Please eat and something will happen]

"Your breakfast invitation looks disingenuous."

After seven o'clock in the morning,
In a hotel near the shooting location, both Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Xueming woke up very early, went downstairs from the elevator together, and prepared to go out for food.

This hotel does not provide meals, only accommodation services.

On the screen of the mobile phone held by Zhang Xueming, in the chat box between them, the last few WeChat messages are very eye-catching.

22:51: [You came all the way to inspect your work, you may not have time to treat you to a big meal, but breakfast is still possible. 】

Then, after a while.

23:03: [Sorry, I have to get up early tomorrow, and the news can't be retracted, so just pretend I didn't say anything. 】

23:09: [Sleeping?So early? 】

23:31: [Looks like you've already fallen asleep, how about it, if you get up before eight o'clock and see this message, I'll treat you to a meal. 】

23:32: [On the contrary, if the time is exceeded, we should have already set off to shoot. I may be able to find time to invite this meal. 】

"It's like acting a one-man show."

Zhang Xueming put away her phone, "If I didn't have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night to drink water and respond to messages, I might have missed your breakfast."

"There's always an opportunity later."

On the first floor, the elevator doors opened to both sides. Lu Zhengyi stretched out his arms to block the elevator doors, "But you went to bed earlier than I thought, is it because you were tired yesterday?"

"Speaking of which, what time did you go back to the hotel yesterday?"

"I didn't seem to see you during lunch time."

Zhang Xueming glanced at his arm blocking the elevator door, and stepped out of the elevator, "Working online is not as free as I am in the company."

"After all, I can't force others to work overtime with me."

"Yesterday afternoon, your teacher Li Zhenxi accompanied me back to the hotel. As for lunch, why didn't you see me?"

Her tone became helpless, "You and Deputy Director Zhang squatted in the stairwell holding a lunch box and chatting about the script. How could you see me?"

"From the moment I started filming, I didn't see your eyes looking at me for a minute."

Lu Zhengyi, who works and lives, seems to be two people.

When concentrating on his work, Zhang Xueming felt that no one else existed in his eyes.

But in life, she felt that this guy was very careful, always doing things that made people feel comfortable, and saying things that made people able to keep up with the topic.

"Feel sorry."

Lu Zhengyi also walked out of the elevator, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

Thinking about it carefully, he really didn't seem to pay much attention to Zhang Xueming.

"I still say that, work is important."

Zhang Xueming was not angry, "After all, I invested."

"If my employees can have this concentration on work, I might already be a vice president now."

"But speaking of it, you guys finish work pretty early. I've heard that other production crews usually have to stay up late on the first day of work."

She confirmed the closing time based on the time when Lu Zhengyi sent the message.

"Although it is normal to stay up late on the first day of starting up."

Lu Zhengyi explained, "However, our film crew rented live-action filming in this old-fashioned residential area. In order to take care of the surrounding residents, our work and commute times are relatively punctual."

"If you are complained about disturbing the people, you will be in trouble."

"Although this will cause additional losses in filming funds, there is no way around it."

There are so many mouths in this whole group, and there is also money for renting venues and props.

One more day of shooting progress, and the cost is not a small sum.

"Understood."

But Zhang Xueming didn't hold on to this point. As an investor, she didn't seem to care much.

Talking, the two walked into a breakfast restaurant in Cantonese.

Taicheng is also in the south, it is relatively close to Guangfu, and the taste is quite good.

The two found a vacant seat by the window and sat down. Lu Zhengyi handed Zhang Xueming the tablet for ordering food.

As a result, she ordered a pot of oolong tea and two bowls of porridge.

"Have more shrimp dumplings, siu mai, money belly, rice rolls, pork ribs, glutinous rice chicken..."

Lu Zhengyi ticked the boxes on the tablet, and finally handed the tablet back to the waiter.

"Order this much."

When ordering, Zhang Xueming didn't stop her.

After the waiter left, she asked in a low voice, "Aren't you people who like to exercise very strict with their diet?"

This is almost the end of the menu.

"It used to be like this. You have to count the intake of protein, fat, and carbohydrates when you eat a meal." Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "But it doesn't need to be done now."

He did not elaborate on why it was not used.

Zhang Xueming didn't ask any further questions.

Then, she said aloud, "I booked a plane back to Beidu in the afternoon."

Lu Zhengyi was a little surprised, "Only inspect for one day?"

"One day is enough."

Zhang Xueming tapped the table with her fingers, "I watched it all day yesterday, and I probably understand it."

"What do you mean by the sentence that "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" was directed by Zhang Yu?"

"In a sense, it's true. Standing, speaking, camera...all of them are directed by him, but it's not like you didn't do nothing if you were by the side all the time."

After a pause, "At least, if Zhang Yu doesn't speak up, others won't know the details."

"They can't tell whether it is you who are giving orders for Zhang Yu to execute. Or, Zhang Yu is doing the main directing."

"As long as you follow him carefully, others will have no evidence."

She was afraid before that Lu Zhengyi's attitude was casual and he was doing something like a project name.

But now it seems that he quite likes the process of filming.

Not to mention that people are not there at all.

Zhang Xueming's words were quite straightforward.

But Lu Zhengyi didn't care, "Don't worry, I'm definitely following the group all the way."

"If you need it, I can also film the situation of the crew at regular intervals every day and clock in for work."

As he said that, he reported on the schedule, "I did a real shoot yesterday, and the actors performed very well."

"We estimate that the shooting time in this rental building will take about one to two weeks. Because it is a fixed environment and there is no need to run around, the time required is relatively short."

"In the future, it will be more troublesome to go out on location, and it may waste a lot of time and... money."

"Also, does your company have any project cooperation in Taicheng? I want to try to communicate with the local leaders and use some folk activities here to shoot."

"In terms of communication direction, I plan to start with the city's tourism promotion."

Zhang Xueming replied, "There's no need to clock in for work."

"Once your affairs are exposed, the impact will be on you and your family. Regarding this point, I believe you can distinguish the seriousness from the seriousness."

"As for folklore activities?"

She was a little puzzled.

"Wandering God."

Lu Zhengyi explained, "The Wandering God in Taicheng is very famous, and there are related contents in the script."

"If we say that we complete this segment through scene construction and recruiting group performers, the cost of funds will be relatively huge."

"But if we can negotiate with some local people, we can use borrowed scenes to shoot. Not only will the shooting effect be better, but it will also save money."

He emphasized on 'saving money'.

Lu Zhengyi personally prefers the former, which means that the shooting effect is better.

But if negotiating with Zhang Xueming, he thinks it should focus on saving.

"How do you feel, my impression here is that you are a little money fan." Zhang Xueming smiled helplessly, "Okay, after I return to the company, I will find a way to help you find some useful relationships in this regard."

She could also hear where Lu Zhengyi was focusing.

"Unfortunately, there is no wine."

A major shooting problem was solved, Lu Zhengyi was very happy, "Otherwise, I would have to toast you a few times."

"Xue Ming, I regret that I got to know you too late."

"If I had known each other earlier, I wouldn't have had to work so hard in the last play. It's really a pleasure to work with you."

Isn't that right, just give money and don't interfere with work.

When people come, they will silently watch from the side, so there is no need to engage in such silly welcome ceremonies.

Now, people are still helping to make connections.

It's not so much an investor.

Rather, this is the top logistics team.

"Speak up."

Zhang Xueming suddenly realized something, "Every time you invite me to dinner, there seems to be something wrong."

"To be honest, if I didn't see the news last night, I wouldn't be able to get up this morning."

"Do you still have to take the initiative to knock on my door and wake me up?"

　Seeking to follow up, I would like to have a recommendation for testing the waters.
