China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 124 Return to Beijing [Two in One]

Northeast, Kuandian.

A temporary office for the crew of "Assembly".

It is said to be an office, which is a row of rooms built with simple color steel plates. It can withstand the wind more or less. There is a stove inside, and the temperature is about that, but it is much better than staying outside in the winter. .

The producer of the crew is actually Wang Zhonglei, but he is basically in name only. As the general manager of Huayi Company, he will not come to the set unless something serious happens to the crew. The actual person in charge is a man named Ma Tao, whom Sun Yi has never met. , but I heard Wang Baoqiang tell him.

Walking into the office, there was a young man sitting inside, wearing a suit and looking very delicate.

However, are you sure this outfit can withstand this day in Northeast China?

Sun Yi took off his gloves and said hello.

"Hello, Producer Ma."

"Well, Sun Yi, right? Hello, come and sit."

When they first met, Sun Yi felt that the other party was quite polite.

"Sun Yi, how are you? Are you still used to being on the set?"

Why do you still care about me?

Sun Yi was a little confused.

"It's okay, Producer Ma."

"It's okay. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Director Feng will handle all the filming matters, and I will do my best to solve all the matters in life."

"Producer Ma is too polite. It's really nothing. It's pretty good."

Sun Yi was all too familiar with this routine of leadership in his previous life. There must be something else to say. He would either arrange extra work for you or ask you to work overtime. Otherwise, how could he suddenly come after you? Anyway, it's probably not good.

"Well, Sun Yi, I heard that you haven't signed the company yet?"

Here comes, this time Sun Yi understands.

"Ah, yes."

"You also know that this drama is invested and controlled by our company, Huayi Film and Television Company. In the Chinese film and television industry, it is impossible that you have not heard of our Huayi Company. The company is very optimistic about you and thinks you are very talented. Potential, ready to sign you and give you a contract."

He said this without asking for his own opinion, and he showed a condescending attitude everywhere.

"Uh, Producer Ma, I'm not thinking about signing a contract right now. I'm still in school."

To most people, this was equivalent to a polite rejection. Of course Ma Tao heard it, but he pretended not to understand.

"It doesn't matter. The company allows you to study and work at the same time. The contract period can be longer. That's not a problem."

This was a bit rogue. People just pretended not to understand, and Sun Yi was a little helpless.

"Producer Ma, I want to finish my studies first. I haven't had the idea of ​​signing a contract with a company in recent years."

Sun Yi's words were close to saying he refused, and Ma Tao couldn't pretend anymore. His face changed slightly, but he was secretly happy in his heart. He liked this result.

"You have to know how rare this opportunity is in front of you. Although you were chosen by Director Feng, there are so many suitable actors that it doesn't have to be just one person."

If he failed to win over him, he immediately threatened him in disguise. Sun Yi looked down on such people, so why don't you try to make a transition?

"Yes, I am very grateful to Director Feng for giving me this opportunity, but Producer Ma, I really have no intention of signing with the company at the moment."

"Sun Yi, do you want to know the consequences of rejecting our Huayi?"

Don't tell me, when Ma Tao said this, Sun Yi really thought about it in his heart.

Although they are not very strong in terms of personal connections, projects, and capital, they all have it. Huayi cannot dominate the entire industry with just one hand.

After weighing it up, there was no problem, and Sun Yi still responded politely.

"I'm really sorry, Producer Ma."

Ma Tao looked unhappy, "Okay, there's nothing else to do. You can go first."

"Okay, Producer Ma."

Back on the set, Sun Yi was still a little happy. This time he was not causing trouble. Huayi wanted to kill him, and he had an explanation to Boss Zhang.

According to Sun Yi's usual personality, he would not reject it on the spot. Just like Zeng Jia before, including the agents from other companies he met at the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards dinner, he was more tactful and thought about it for two days. He refused sincerely.

In this way, each other has an explanation, so that no one feels that they are disrespectful, and each other saves face, so that they can meet each other in the future.

But he really didn't want to stay in this crew. Not to mention hard and tiring, after working in this industry, he was mentally prepared. Which industry is not hard and tiring?

If it is not hard or tiring, it must be high risk, but outsiders cannot see it.

The crew of "Assembly" is not only struggling, but now even their lives are in danger.

The reason is that director Feng Xiaogang, who shot the war scenes in the Northeast, actually wanted to take advantage of the snow scenery in the Northeast.

The crew also built a street scene here according to his request to show the scene of street fighting.However, the weather was unfavorable, and the snow in Kuandian, the filming location, has not fallen for a long time. Although it snowed, it was far from the expected white snow, and it could not achieve the effect he required.

The crew waited for three days, but the scene couldn't be filmed. There were about 3 people in the entire crew, and they were eating horse chews every day. It was a waste of money.

Sun Yi originally thought that director Feng Xiaogang would arrange a snowmaking machine, but he didn't expect that someone gave him the idea to use chemical fertilizers.

The crew brought 4 tons of chemical fertilizer and spread it on the set to create snow scenes. Director Feng Xiaogang was very ambitious for this film, so he was very serious about it. The actors had to "sprinkle snow" over and over again during the audition, and it took only a few days of filming. , the fertilizer ran out, and the crew produced another 10 tons.

This is chemical fertilizer, a synthetic chemical product, not to mention the taste. It is poisonous and extremely harmful to the human body. We were filming a war scene. The actors threw themselves down and moved forward in the "snow", including the "explosion" raised by the "snow". "Xue Mo" was sucked into the body. The entire crew and extras suffered from diarrhea and vomiting, and some even fell into coma and went to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Sun Yi can't do this job with him. It's not that he's pretentious. This can obviously be avoided. Why do you have to risk your life? Actors and extras are not human beings. You can do whatever you want.

Besides, this crew used nearly 15 tons of chemical fertilizers. Adding a little more to the purchase price is enough to rent several snowmaking machines. There is no shortage of such machines in the Northeast. Many ski resorts use them. If you rent them for one year, you can even rent them. Including the deposit, it was less than 10 yuan.

Anyway, Sun Yi felt that if he hired a crew in the future, he would never save money on the actor's health. He must have a bottom line as a human being.

That day, Sun Yi was a little absent-minded, waiting for Feng Xiaogang to inform him to leave.

Okay, but I don’t know the specific situation. He waited on the set for another two days, but there was still no movement.

He even guessed that Hua Yi was joking with him, just teasing him?

He didn't know that it was Feng Xiaogang who stopped Ma Tao. Of course, it was out of respect for his old friend Zhang Guoli. Later, Huayi General Manager Wang Zhonglei personally called Feng Xiaogang and he agreed to replace Sun Yi. He probably did it to show his old friend. , more or less an explanation.

On this day, Wang Baoqiang found Sun Yi and told him that the director was looking for him.

When he arrived at the door of the director's office, what he saw was Statement walking out with red eyes.

She is the heroine in the film and Sun Yi's wife in the play. Although the two did not play opposite each other in the whole process, in order to find the feeling of caring about each other, they often acted together. Not bad.

She is a late-blooming actress. As one of the great beauties in the aunt circle, she is only 30 years old this year, but her charming and elegant temperament has already begun to take shape.

"Sister Shu, what's wrong? What is this?"

The statement was originally made with his head lowered. When he heard Sun Yi's voice, he turned slightly sideways, secretly wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, then turned around and said to Sun Yi with a smile:
"Ah, Xiaoyi, it's okay. Director Feng asked me about some shooting matters."

Seeing the statement, he didn't want to say more, and Sun Yi didn't feel comfortable asking.

"Oh, okay, I'll go in first." "Well, go ahead."

After entering the house, although he had already guessed what he was going to face next, he still said hello politely.

"Hello, Director Feng, you are looking for me."

"Sit down. If this is the case, I won't beat around the bush. I heard that Huayi wanted to sign you, but you didn't agree?"

"um, yes."

Feng Xiaogang frowned and made a very embarrassed expression.

"Hey, what should I say about this? Because you didn't sign the agency contract, Huayi wanted to replace you. I tried my best to say good things for you and wanted to keep you, but..."

As he said this, he smacked his thigh in excitement and uttered a curse word of "fuck" in his mouth, which was a real act.

"No, Director Feng, it won't happen."

"Xiao Yi, I am very optimistic about you, but you also know that although I am the director of this play, the investor is Huayi Company, and I have to follow their arrangements. You have to understand."

"Yeah, it's okay, I understand."

Sun Yi understood that Director Feng Xiaogang wanted to take him out. However, he really couldn't blame others for this matter. He was not so ignorant. Besides, he had to thank Hua Yi. He didn't want to film it in the first place. It was difficult to refuse Zhang Guoli's kindness, so he couldn't come over at all.

"Well, I finally managed to help you get a salary of 8 yuan, and I can call you today."

"Oh, thank you, Director Feng."

When Sun Yi heard that there was still 8 yuan left to take, he felt even happier. He originally thought that this trip would be in vain, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise.

"That's it this time. Uncle Feng will be thinking of you in his next movie."

"Hey, okay, I'll leave first."

"Well, let's go."

Sun Yi turned around and left with brisk steps.

That afternoon, word spread in the crew that the statements of Sun Yi and the heroine had been changed. The "couple" was offline at the same time. No one in the entire crew came to speak for them. It was just so realistic.

Only Wang Baoqiang came over to comfort Sun Yi, but even though he was a little better than the newcomer, there was nothing he could do. Even so, Sun Yi felt that Wang Baoqiang was a good person and could be friends with him.

That afternoon, Sun Yi packed his things and was about to retreat. He didn't want to stay any longer, and Sheng He was a little reluctant to let him go.

"Okay, you're a big man. Don't let me get into this. It's not a life-and-death separation."

With that said, he hugged Sheng He again and stuffed 1 yuan into his arms.

"Uncle, no, I don't want it."

"Take it, go back and buy some nutrition for your parents."

"I can't take it. You left a lot of money last time you went there."

Sheng He was a little stubborn and refused to accept it.

Sun Yi pretended to be angry.

"Am I still your uncle?"

"Yes."

"Take it as uncle tells you, and study hard on the set. When it's over, come to the capital and follow uncle."

Seeing Sun Yi's extremely serious expression, Sheng He reluctantly accepted.

"Well, I understand, uncle, I will definitely study hard."

"Okay, I'm leaving. When the time comes, give me a call."

"Ah."

The nearest city to Kuandian is Andong. The train station is not big. As soon as he entered the waiting room, Sun Yi saw the statement and stood alone next to the ticket gate.

"Sister Shu, we meet again so soon."

Chen Shu was carrying a suitcase, and Sun Yi was carrying a backpack. The two looked at each other and smiled, like a "couple in distress."

After taking a look, it turned out that they were both on the same train back to Beijing, so they simply traveled together.

On the train, the two of them did not shy away from each other and started chatting.

Sun Yi said that he was replaced because he refused Huayi's request to sign a contract.

After hearing the statement, I was quite surprised. Sun Yi was young, courageous and had a good idea. Even a big company like Huayi refused.

As for the statement, it was an unfounded disaster. She was originally selected through an audition based on her own ability, but the reason she was changed this time was that during the filming, it was found that she did not match the role and was not suitable.

Sun Yi knew as soon as he heard this that this was pure nonsense. It did not match the role. It was inappropriate. What had he done earlier? Besides, the statement was that she was the heroine, which required the director to audition in person, and she had to audition with makeup. It was completely in accordance with If a certain paragraph in the script was inappropriate, it would not have been approved in the first place.

This was purely because some investors wanted to promote other actresses, so she was replaced.

After listening to Sun Yi's analysis, Shan Shen understood, but facing this situation, she was powerless and could only endure it silently.

The train ride from Anton to Beijing took nearly 8 hours. At dinner time, Sun Yi specially invited Zhang Shu to have dinner in the dining car, which made Zhang Shu feel a little embarrassed.

During the dinner, Sun Yi also asked about Statement's current agency, and then learned that she is now an actress at the National Theater and does not have an agency. However, her business affairs are represented by a full-time agent from Huayi's agency, which does not count. Signed artists.

Knowing this, Sun Yi was jealous of the statement in his heart.

As the saying goes, "If you show courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing."

He did have an idea for the statement.

Well, don’t get me wrong, I signed her.

Huayi's incident this time also made him realize that his studio should speed up the expansion of employees, and then produce independently, seize the opportunity to consolidate the foundation laid through "Soldier Assault", develop rapidly, and recruit talents.

His future direction will definitely be to focus on movies, mainly as a director and supplemented by actors. However, TV series cannot be thrown away. It is now 06 and will not be released until 08. If the movie does not have overseas distribution channels, it will not make much money at home alone. Money is purely used to show off your talent, but TV dramas are different. It is easy to earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions from a hit movie.

The only director he knows now is Kang Honglei. The TV series can be left to him first, but it won't work just with the director and crew.

Sun Yi's goal is to develop the studio into a comprehensive film and television production company. In addition to professional talents in various fields, actors are also indispensable. These days, it is not popular for actors to open personal studios. You can sign an agency contract first. When the time comes, Let’s talk about it again, the actor’s agency is a big profit.

The statement in front of you is a potential stock.

At that time, if he has money, people, connections, and projects, he will be like a prince. As long as his butt is not crooked, no one can show his face.
