Chang Guangrong smiled but didn't take it seriously. After chatting for a while at Ye Fan's house, he drove his motorcycle to the courtyard. Unfortunately, Chu Guangming was not in the courtyard, so he asked Dabao where Chu Guangming might be.
Dabao knew where the house where Chu Guangfa grew up was. They must have split the money and settled accounts there when they came back, so he pointed to the building in the distance: "Dazhuyuan No. 402."
Chu Guangming and Fa Xiao were both there, as well as their classmates and neighbors. The three of them settled the accounts and prepared to save the bulk. Chu Guangming and Fa Xiao would save regularly, while their friends would keep it to buy a house.
Chu Guangming's parents had weird tempers and didn't trust their children. He couldn't hand over his money. Chu Guangming's friend has good parents, but he has many brothers and sisters, and life is tight. When his parents get money, they first think about improving their food.
Therefore, Chu Guangming's childhood and friends had no choice but to hide it from their family in order to keep the money they had earned with their hard-earned money.
It was a shame to hide it from his parents and family, so when Chang Guangrong knocked on the door, the three of them were startled. They moved to the door gently as if they were thieves and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Chang Guangrong didn't notice that they were weak: "Is Guangming there?"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Chu Guangming opened the door. Chang Guangrong saw that there were three people in total, and the other two looked like students in temperament. He explained his purpose to Chu Guangming and asked them if they wanted to be extras.
Even if you are idle, you will be idle. Ten yuan a day, if you work for twenty days, you will get two hundred, and the tuition will be paid. The two wrote their names in Chang Guangrong's notebook.
Chu Guangming refused: "I didn't want to be an actor."
"After the photo shoot, all the sportswear you wore will be given to you." Chang Guangrong said.
Chu Guangming is not short of money now: "Two sets of long-sleeved and short-sleeved ones are only four sets."
"There's no shortage of money now, right?" Chang Guangrong asked.
Chu Guangming nodded: "If I don't have the money, I will do anything. If I don't have the money, I will do anything."
How about being so honest? Chang Guangrong said: "If you make this drama and it becomes popular, people will not only look for you to film dramas, but also people will look for you to film commercials. Filming dramas is cheap, advertising is expensive, one hundred thousand!"
Chu Guangming's childhood friend and his friends burst out with curses in excitement, and then snorted to persuade him to agree.
"Didn't you lie to me?" Chu Guangming stared at him and asked.
Seeing that he was serious, Chang Guangrong suddenly felt embarrassed and said: "If you don't have 100,000, there's still 10,000. If it's less than 10,000, I'll replenish it for you! I can ask my friend to help you negotiate the price without giving him a commission."
"Is there such a good thing?" Chu Guangming suspected that the money-loving businessman was tricking him.
Chang Guangrong said: "My friend doesn't take commission, which is considered mutual benefit. When you become famous, he goes out to talk to people about cooperation and says that Chu Guangming is from my company. People say that I want to find Chu Guangming to make a TV series. My friend knows If you don’t answer, you can just say that Chu Guangming is busy with work, and there is someone else in our company who is cheap and has good acting skills.”
Chu Guangming nodded: "What you say is mutual benefit."
"Then it's settled? I'll pick you up in two days. You can stay at Dabao's house or here." Chang Guangrong put away his notebook and planned to go back, but suddenly thought that students can't just live in school, "Guangming, the gate of this community allows Are you filming?”
Chu Guangming: "No one cares outside the door."
"Right at the door." Chang Guangrong thought about it, "Do you mind if I go back to your house in the courtyard to shoot the scene?"
Chu Guangming's fate was not caused by himself, so he didn't mind: "If people knew that my situation was similar to that in the drama, my biological father and mother might mind."
"Am I afraid of them?" Chang Guangrong sneered, "Come two and I'll fight a pair. As long as you don't mind." Patting him on the shoulder, Chang Guangrong went to school to find the director.
Two days later, Chang Guangrong drove the construction team's pickup truck over. At first, people didn't dare to lend it to him, so Chang Guangrong asked the leader of the construction team if he knew he was one of the shareholders.
Chang Guangrong dared to say this in public, so of course he couldn't be talking nonsense. Since he was one of Party A, he was lent to him for a day.
After all, the photos are different from real people. The director has never seen the hero and heroine feel uneasy. When Erbao and Guangming got out of the car, the director excitedly pointed at them and said, "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."
Chang Guangrong held each other hand in hand and showed off to the director: "Not bad, isn't it?"
Erbao thought of a question: "Uncle Chang, there is no emotional drama, right?"
Chang Guangrong shook his head: "No! It's all revolutionary friendship!"
Erbao guessed that he was guilty when he heard him speak so loudly, and didn't believe it at all.
Dabao held the pure water bottle in his hand, put one hand in his pocket, and came over slowly: "Second treasure, don't worry, at most the relationship is above friendship. The director is also afraid that parents will lose their jobs if they write a letter to complain."
The director nodded: "Yes! How can we fall in love during the critical period of senior high school? Even if we fall in love, we discuss and study together."
Dabao turned to him: "I advise you not to do it!"
"No, no!" the director assured.
On the day of filming, Dabao and Chang Guangrong came together. The director said that Dabao seemed a bit precocious. Dabao told him bluntly that he was twenty-three years old.
The director did not dare to complain to Chang Guangrong about his age, so he asked the makeup artist to think of a solution. Chang Guangrong could tell that he was a fool, so he quickly explained that Dabao was not the protagonist, but the heroine's brother, taking the lead for his sister.
The director was relieved when he heard that his brother was only twenty-three and his sister was younger and could play the role of a senior in high school.
Dabao has a good temperament. The director took a quick look and saw that the clothes, shoes, watches, and watches were equal to his one year's salary plus bonus. Suddenly, he had an inspiration: he was an outstanding graduate.
Later, the hero's life experience, the heroine's achievements, etc. were all made up on the fly. In the end, the main plot that the screenwriter decided on only had the main character's name unchanged, but I have to say it was better than the screenwriter's version. The male protagonist was beautiful but strong, and the female protagonist was good at everything except for her bad studies. The contrast was so attractive that the director wished he could shoot it in one day. After that, he went on TV the next day, and on the third day he became famous and received numerous film appointments.
Later, Chang Guangrong arrived late and Dabao rode over by himself. The director had only seen this kind of mountain bike in the homes of famous people, so he decided that Dabao's family background was unusual. The director took some time to chat with Dabao. Over the past few days, he found out nothing except that his family was rich. The director was sure that he was not only rich, but he might be able to get his drama into his hands with just one sentence. From then on, he would pay more attention to Dabao. cautious.
At first glance, Erbao has never experienced the hardships of life, which indirectly proves that the director guessed it right, and naturally he does not dare to add love. Otherwise, the eldest lady’s grandparents would be dissatisfied when they saw it, and they would be too embarrassed to blame the junior Chang Guangrong. In the end, it would only be the director who would be injured, and his career as a director might be over.
The director gave the script to Er Bao and Chu Guangming: "First get familiar with it and get a feel for it, and then I will show you a demonstration. Don't be nervous. We are filming a TV series, not a drama. There is no need to exaggerate the expressions and movements. If you make a mistake, you can retake it. Just do it as usual. .”
With the machine facing him, even if Erbao kept comforting him, he couldn't help but care about it as usual.
The director was mentally prepared and did not panic at all.
On the third day after the main actors and actresses joined the set, they got used to being stared at and followed by their machines, and finally found the feeling. At this time, their costumes were also changed.
Sportswear inevitably didn't fit that well, so Chang Guangrong asked the employees in the factory to change it one by one. The extras also changed what they wore to create the effect of slim casual clothes. He also specially embroidered the word "Rongguang" on the sportswear.
The director always felt that it was too fashionable, like students in Hong Kong movies. Chang Guangrong thinks this is a small problem and doesn't need to be taken too seriously.
It was the uncle who spent the money, and the director thought it was not that serious and continued filming.
Chang Guangrong was worried about the filming progress: "Can it be completed before school starts?"
"Twelve episodes of a TV series are enough before school starts. But there is a prerequisite: other group members will join the group in time."
Chang Guangrong: "Don't worry about this!"
On August 10th, a brand new off-road vehicle appeared on campus, and everyone from the director to the extras couldn't help but stop and watch. It was at this time that Ye Fan got out of the car wearing sunglasses. Erbao was stunned because her mother didn't say she would come today. Chu Guangming whispered, "Aunt Ye?" Erbao came to his senses and ran over: "Mom!"
There was no one at Dabao School in Dog Days, so he had some free time, so he replaced Chang Guangrong as the producer and sat next to the director. The director turned around and asked: "Your mother?"
"What do you think?" Dabao opened the folding fan and greeted him while fanning it: "Why did you come here?"
Ye Fan asked: "Am I late?"
"The scene where Erbao is confronting the director will be yours after the filming." Erbao plays a poor student who often gets into trouble. However, he makes big mistakes and keeps making small mistakes and cannot expel her. So the director once again yelled at Erbao when he saw him getting into trouble. She called parents. Ye Fan plays her daughter's mother in the play.
Erbao dared to confront the grade director this time because the director had preconceived ideas and wronged her. It was impossible for the director to apologize. He couldn't lose face, so he just said forget it without any pain.
Ye Fan didn't want to settle the matter and wanted to report it to the superiors. The director hinted that the parents of the students would not forgive him and not issue admission tickets to the students. If Ye Fan replies to him, my daughter can go abroad!
Finally, the principal came forward and said that the school did not understand how to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and it was the teachers who had preconceived ideas. He did not say a word of apology, but apologized every word.
The next day, Ye Fan sent a cart full of gifts. Every teacher had one, except the director. The principal was worried that the situation would escalate and had to transfer the director to the junior high school. However, there was only one sentence in the play and it was transferred away.
This situation can be said to be unique in real life. Because the Erbao family is not short of money and has connections, it is impossible to go to work. Even if she is in the poor class, her parents can find tutoring for her to take the exam. It will not take long for her grades to improve and she can move out of the poor class.
But TV dramas want to make the audience happy.
Chang Guangrong knew how to live a good life and told Ye Fan that the crew was short of funds and Ye Fan had to wear his own clothes, deliberately dressing up so that he would not be messed with.
Ye Fan heard this and said, "Let's go over there."
Dabao: "My face is a little sweaty, let the makeup artist help you touch up your makeup."
The makeup artist looked at the director pitifully, "I don't dare!"
The director glared at the unpromising makeup artist and approached him: "What do you call me?"
Ye Fan: "My surname is Ye."
The director didn't dare to pretend to call Sister Ye: "Ms. Ye, please come this way." Then he handed Ye Fan to the makeup artist and told Erbao to continue.
The director is an old actor. He originally thought this episode was nonsense. How could any parent of a student ask the principal to get rid of the grade director. As Ye Fan came over, the old actor suddenly felt that it was possible that it was her, and he immediately stopped thinking about this exaggeration.
The veteran actor brought Erbao into the scene. This scene was only filmed twice, and the scenes were retouched. The scene ended perfectly, and Ye Fan came over immediately.
Ye Fan had never filmed a movie before, so he couldn't help but care about the camera position and took more than ten shots before he got it right. The director was very satisfied and thought the filming would last until noon. The director took the opportunity to praise Ye Fan for his good work, but he couldn't help but regret that he didn't prepare a gift, otherwise he could have finished filming Ye Fan's scenes in one day. On the day of the college entrance examination, there is no need for parents to send gifts. The teacher will accompany the students. When Ye Fan heard this, he thought that he would not have to come over after today's filming, so he said, "I'm prepared. But I didn't prepare clothes."
The director quickly asked: "What have you prepared?"
Ye Fan drove the car over and opened the trunk. There were many drinks and cakes inside. The director immediately asked the set manager to go to Chang Guangrong's house to pick up the packaging box. The packaging box was made by Chang Guangrong. It had the word "Rongguang" written all over it in cursive script, so naturally the box was empty. Since Ye Fan came here with something, putting the things in would be more realistic than just taking pictures of the packaging box.
After the director arranged this, he asked the stage manager to get the clothes. The makeup artist reminded in a low voice: "All the dresses we prepared are not as expensive as Ms. Ye's, and they are inconsistent with her role in the play."
Ye Fan heard it: "My home is not far from here, I'll go back and change."
The makeup artist nodded gratefully: "But the makeup needs to be changed."
Ye Fan: "Understood. Are you giving me a gift? Please change your tone. I'll trouble you later."
"I'm causing you trouble." The makeup artist said quickly.
Ye Fan was surprised, Chang Guangrong found a good person!
Which is great! His quotation was low, and the directors and makeup artists with connections were too lazy to pay attention to him. Those who were willing to help him were all cheap. Therefore, his friend also said that people are the same as things, cheap goods are not good.
The people Chang Guangrong was looking for had companies. Most of the people in state-owned companies paid for others to work. He thought it was cheap and he might have real skills, so he could give it a try. So Chang Guangrong, who was willing to make extra money, interviewed each of them one by one, and he found everything.
Chang Guangrong's friend said that this was a grass-roots team. Chang Guangrong said heartily, "I am not filming a historical masterpiece. A dozen or so episodes of a school drama would be like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer."
Besides, famous film directors may not be able to shoot school dramas well.
Anyway, half of the actors were outsiders, and it didn’t cost much in total, so Chang Guangrong gave himself and them a chance.
Chang Guangrong paid his salary very well. Except for the staff who signed up for the whole drama, everyone else was paid one day at a time. Everyone saw that the money was motivating, and they became very interested in the drama.
With Dabao in charge of the crew, the veteran actors did not dare to bully the newcomers, and the bad-tempered actors did not dare to get angry with the extras. The director often exclaimed to the assistant director and screenwriter that Mr. Chang’s job was easy! The only drawback is that it is too stingy, and I can't wait to spend half of a penny.
The screenwriter muttered to the side, "It's not easy for Mr. Chang. After several years of wholesale business, all the money I earned was used to build a factory. I have to do this."
Dabao happened to hear it and just shut up if he wanted to say anything.
Speaking of which, Ye Fan went home and changed into a simple and elegant dress. The makeup artist helped her change her makeup, and the gift was wrapped.
At the end of the scene, Ye Fan asked everyone to open the gifts.
The director boldly asked: "Is it prepared for us?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Erbao doesn't understand anything this is his first time filming, so please bear with me."
"You're welcome!" The director thanked him again and asked everyone to dismantle the props.
The hungry ones had snacks while the tired and thirsty ones drank drinks. For a while, the crew became like a big family. When the makeup artist with the team saw this, she couldn't help but think that no matter how successful the show was, she would remember this summer deeply many years from now.
Ye Fan stayed on the set for a day to make sure everyone got along well, so he went north without worries.
Wei Jianshe will host his father-in-law and his family in August, and his brother-in-law must rush back to his hometown before September 1st, so he has to come back by August 25th at the latest.
Ye Fan couldn't leave because of Chang Guangrong's affairs, so Wei Jianshe led a few people to transfer goods. Fortunately, he knew what he wanted to get, and he wouldn't make a mistake even if Ye Fan didn't go.
On the afternoon of August 24th, Ye Fan and Wei Jianshe came back.
The next morning, Ye Fan calculated the money, the deposit period for the money that was not needed temporarily, the survival period for the money that was needed, and Zhang Xiaoming's share.
Ye Fan drove Zhang Xiaoming to the store and asked Wei Jianshe if he needed a car.
Wei Jianshe said: "I want to. But I haven't learned it yet." Before Ye Fan could offer to teach him, "Forget it. My brother-in-law has a family of four, my father-in-law, mother-in-law, Xiaoru, and me as the driver. I can’t even sit in the car.”
Zhang Xiaoming was about to go to the store when he heard this and stopped: "Does your brother-in-law have two children?"
Wei Jianshe: "Family planning was strictly enforced in rural areas only a few years ago. The two children were born coincidentally, one year apart, and the second child had to be induced and removed a year later."
Ye Fan: "When Qian Xiaoru's brother and sister-in-law take their children back, her parents will stay to attend your wedding?"
Wei Jianshe nodded: "I'll have a meal with my parents tomorrow and go back early the day after tomorrow. My brother-in-law has to report to school, so I don't dare to delay."
Ye Fan said: "It's not hot now. Let's take them out for a walk today. By the way, have you bought anything for Qian Xiaoru?"
"What to buy?" Wei Jianshe was not experienced in getting married for the first time and couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Xiaoming shook his head helplessly: "We are already married, so we can't just go to a funeral."
Wei Jianshe suddenly realized.
Ye Fan said: "Then you take the car back from here? Shall I go and see the crew?"
"You're busy!" Wei Jianshe went to the intersection to wait for the bus. Ye Fan walked through the alley to get closer, and it was different from him.
Arriving at the set, Ye Fan saw a big cake and couldn't help but ask: "Whose birthday is it?"
Chang Guangrong came over with his wallet under his arm: "Don't you understand? I wish our drama a successful conclusion."
Ye Fan couldn't help but glance at the cake - Glory Class 8. Ye Fan wanted to vomit before: "No one else can advertise like you."
"I spend money to promote my sportswear, and it must have 'Glory' on top and bottom." Originally, the name of the school in the play had nothing to do with the word "Glory". Chang Guangrong asked the screenwriter to adapt it. The full title is the story of Class 8, Grade 3, Rongguang Middle School. But the name was too long and difficult to remember, so he decided to just call him "Glory Class 8".
Ye Fan asked: "Dabao is not here?"
"A few days after you left, Dabao was asked to leave by his mentor." Chang Guangrong asked, "Aunt Yu didn't say anything?"
Ye Fan looked into the distance: "She works as a consultant for you on the set, and she also has the air traffic control treasure?"
Chang Guangrong smiled sheepishly and changed the subject: "I think this drama will be popular. I asked a friend to jump in and show it before the end of the year. There will be one episode a day. It will coincide with the Chinese New Year. After the new year, someone will definitely ask Dabao Erbao to shoot commercials. ”
Ye Fan: "You'd better hurry up and stock up. Even if the show hits the streets, there will still be some viewers depending on the time you choose. Only a small number of these viewers will buy clothes, and the sales will double by the end of the year."
"That's right!" Chang Guangrong said: "You go and eat the cake, and I'll talk to the director."
The director wanted to talk to Ye Fan, so Chang Guangrong "let" him go. He took the cake to Ye Fan and said, "Ms. Ye, would you like another piece?"
Ye Fan shook his head slightly.
The director asked: "Ms. Ye, I think Erbao is very talented. You——"
Ye Fan told him to stop: "The second treasure has to go to school."
"I know, you can film during the winter and summer vacations, and you can film commercials on the weekends," the director said.
Ye Fan suspected that he only knew that Er Bao was a college student. Considering that Erbao would have no contact with him in the future, she simply said: "Erbao's school is strictly controlled."
"Military academy?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "Foreign Affairs College."
The director was stunned.
Ye Fan: "She will go to some departments for internship at the end of the year or when school starts in the second half of next year. So, I'm sorry."
"It was me who was abrupt, and I should say sorry." The director did not dare to ask future diplomats to film, "Where is Chu Guangming?"
Ye Fan said: "Dabao's junior brother, a top student of Hangzhou University, his monthly salary after graduation will be no less than 300, and if he works in a port city, his monthly salary will be no less than 10,000."
The director clicked his tongue, thinking that it was no wonder that he was chatting with them about the film and television industry. Both of them were very interested.
"It's just that I can't see Taishan." The director smiled awkwardly. Suddenly he remembered that Chang Guangrong had never mentioned the review, and was not worried that no one would want this drama. He just reminded him to make it faster and better, "Which channel does Mr. Chang plan to show it on? Although this drama is a bit short, it is also my first A TV series that my family is looking forward to.”
Ye Fanxin believed it was true, because since Wei Jianshe knew that Erbao was filming a TV series, he had asked her more than once when it would be broadcast: "After the news broadcast years ago. The specific time has not been determined yet."
The director instantly understood that Chang Guangrong had a lot of connections, but it didn't match his usual style: "Mr. Chang's family is not simple."
Ye Fan wanted to sympathize with the director but also wanted to laugh: "You two have been working together for several months, don't you know? Why do you sound like you are asking me?"
The director noticed that Ye Fan was unusual and did not dare to play tricks with her: "I have always been very curious. You can't blame me, because Mr. Chang is really good at calculating things and is completely different from the high-ranking cadres I know!"< br>
