Chapter 83
Chapter 83
"Since you like it, then let go and do it, everything is up to me."
Even without the title of the crown prince of Shengshi Company and the position of president, Chu Ze is still his most steadfast backing, supporting all his actions.This feeling is really good.
"However, I still have the money."
The consultant said confidently that although he hasn't checked his income much, in recent years, the income from writing novels, subscription publishing and film and television copyright has exceeded 3000 million, and there are already companies negotiating with him He has reserved the film and television copyright of "The Guardian", which is currently being serialized, and he is now worth about tens of millions in filming. Even if the investment in this drama is in vain, it is still within the acceptable range.
"It's fine, anyway, my money will be your money in the future, spend it as you like."
The consultant smiled slightly, "Anyway, don't let me manage the account."
Thinking that Chu Ze has tens of billions of assets, and after starting a company, the daily income and income will be a large sum of money, and the Arabic numerals are flying around with small wings in front of his eyes, and he feels even more dizzy and panicked. .
wrong! ! !
He wasn't with Chu Ze, why was he thinking so much!
After hanging up the phone, the consultant went to Chen Zhongping to discuss it, and Chen Zhongping naturally agreed with him turning into an investor.
The consultant is very experienced in acting, so he will not direct blindly, and said that he will not interfere with the work of filming and editing in the future. Director Chen is also very pleased, so the two hit it off, and after receiving the official withdrawal notice from the production company, the budget exceeded It will be borne by the consultants, and Chen Zhongping himself will be responsible for the salaries of the staff.
After all, he is the director, and he cannot let one of the consultants take risks alone.
After the budget is in place, people will be dispatched.
Chen Zhongping personally went to the School of Drama to pick out some acting students in school, and filled in the vacancies of actors who had withdrawn from the group. Now, because many crews will reserve roles for candidates recommended by investors, it is not easy for newcomers to get ahead, and many opportunities are available. It was just a trick, so the newcomers were very excited about Chen Zhongping's invitation.
If you have a role in the show, you can have more experience. Even if the ratings of this drama hit the market in the future, you can have more experience to write on your resume. This is the reason why they flock to it.
For this drama, basically no one thinks that there will be any splashes, and some people even don't expect it to be broadcast.
But even if they think this way, they are still very dedicated. Although their acting skills are a bit jerky, their attitude is very sincere. If they point out their mistakes, they will correct them immediately. They are young and have better comprehension skills. The advantage of the newcomers over the old actors is that they can endure hardships, they will not lose their temper after a long time of filming, and they recite their lines very hard, which makes the consultant quite satisfied.
Don't look at some celebrities with high social status, but their acting skills are in a mess. The consultant has worked with many first-line stars before, most of them are dubbing in the later stage, and some stars don't even memorize their lines. With the dubbing in the later stage, it is difficult for the actors in the opposite play to get into the state.
Just imagine what it feels like when you say a line and the other party says a string of numbers.
Therefore, the consultants appreciate actors who are willing to work hard. On the set, they often tell these newcomers some filming experience, how to move, how to enter the situation and so on.
The half-new cast members, after a week of running in with each other, are in almost the same state. The consultants are warm, Chen Zhongping is rigorous, and the atmosphere of the scene is relatively harmonious.
Chu Ze also took the time to find a relationship, and after treating guests to dinner and contacting the relationship, he negotiated the schedule of a certain satellite TV for "Xiaoyao". a consolation.
Otherwise, it would be a bitter thing to say that a drama that has been filmed for so long can't even be seen on air.
It took nearly a month of filming after the restart, and it took a total of three months before "Xiaoyao" was officially completed.
For a domestic drama with only 26 episodes, this time is relatively long, and this is the result of compressing the budget. If the budget is sufficient, it is estimated that Chen Zhongping can film for a year or so.
Nowadays, most of the domestic dramas are finished in more than a month. Someone even calculated the shooting cycle of a certain movie before and found that it only took about 20 days from the casting of the actors to the post-editing. It is almost an assembly line work, purely for circle. made for money.
It also became a joke at the time.
So judging from the shooting time, "Xiaoyao" can definitely be regarded as a conscience drama.
There was also a banquet on the day of the finale. On the set, the consultant specially invited a few master chefs from the private restaurant he often went to, and prepared several large tables of dishes on the spot, including the actors and staff who finished filming in advance. We had a lot of fun together.
Several large boxes of crayfish shipped by air, the ice cubes have not been completely thawed, and they are extremely fresh. They are kept in clean water for a day or two in advance, so that the shrimps can spit out all the mud in their bodies, and the assistants wash the lobsters clean, sharp Gently cut a hole in the tail of the shrimp with his sword, and picked off the black line.
After the fresh ingredients are ready, heat the oil in a pan and put the prawns in the oil. The sound of deep-frying, the sound of "stinging, stinging!", made the people on the scene swallow their saliva before the smell came out.
After frying for a few minutes, the crayfish has turned red, bright and attractive, with an oily sheen, the colander slightly tilted, and the oil was poured back into the pot, only the shrimp was scooped up and set aside for later use.
After all the prawns have been oiled, start the pot again, turn on the fire and throw in the garlic and ginger. After sautéing, add the prawns, star anise, cinnamon and other aniseed ingredients and add water. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the chef took a bowl and held it The large spoon is lightly put in the ingredients, and it is at your fingertips. It seems that you can know how much ingredients you put in without looking. Salt, soy sauce, vinegar and other ingredients are mixed into a bowl, shake it a little, and shake it well.
The water in the pot was also boiling at this moment, bubbling with a "gum-gum-gum!", and the seasoning was poured in along the side of the pot, and he picked up a large handful of red peppers that were bursting with flavor, and put them directly went in.
The whole pot suddenly turned red, and the secret sauce prepared by the chef himself was put in, and the taste was even more attractive.
"I want to eat!"
Some people have already started to lick the corners of their mouths, squatting at the place where the plate is placed, ready to be the first to taste it later.
Seeing the popularity of his dishes, the chef also smiled a little. After simmering for a while, turn to medium heat, put in an appropriate amount of cooking wine, and wait for the water to boil into a thick sauce that penetrates into the shrimp and then start the pot.
The strong spicy smell permeated the set, and some people who can't eat spicy food are drooling, waiting for the pot to be cooked.
Many people are attracted here, and the master chef next door is not to be outdone. The local sheep brought from Xinjiang are slaughtered on the spot. The assistant's knife skills are good. The mutton is divided, and the bones are reserved for cooking soup. Part of the meat is used to make steamed mutton, and the other part is cut into large pieces, skewered on red willow wood, sprinkled with some seasonings, and roasted over fire.
Several chefs were showing their talents, and the atmosphere on the scene became hot. A bonfire was lit, and a circle of people sang and danced. It was chaotic but like a celebration. Everyone seemed to be venting their emotions.
The consultant also took a bottle of beer, pried off the cap on the crack of the stone, squatted beside Chen Zhongping, and had a drink with him.
After drinking half a bottle of wine, his face was already a little tipsy. The consultant's alcohol capacity is not very good. He only drinks three or four bottles of beer. It is estimated that two or three bottles of liquor should be off the table. He didn't dare to drink too much this time. There was some excitement that couldn't be hidden.
"it is finally over!"
Chen Zhongping also took a sip of beer, and said with some emotion, "Yeah, it's finally over. I don't know if I'll be given another chance. Do you still have the courage to try?"
The consultant turned his head, "Why?"
"The family is not happy, saying that I didn't earn much money, and I still have to pay for it. If I continue to toss, I'm afraid the family will fall apart."
The consultant sipped his wine silently, seeing Chen Zhongping's self-deprecating smile, his heart felt a little chilly.
This is probably also the sorrow of film and television people. Most people in the world are eager for quick success, desperate for profit, fame, and everything that can surpass others, but no one has ever paid attention to truly commendable works.
"It'll be fine." was all he could say.
"It always takes a process. No one can become fat with one bite. Take your time."
Chen Zhongping nodded, "Well, take your time."
The voice was a bit sad, but it was full of vitality. It was as tenacious as a grass on the edge of a cliff, and there was still a little hope after being beaten by wind and rain.
Under the dark night, people are having a carnival not far away. This place is like a dividing line, separating all the hustle and bustle. The consultant who was affected by this emotion also drank silently, unconsciously a little drunk.
It was lively from finishing in the afternoon until [-] o'clock in the middle of the night, but no one stopped him. The left and right sides had already been completed, and there was no need to get up early tomorrow, and the crew was mostly young people. It didn't matter if they were tense for so many days. The mood, the happy ending, toasted one by one, and said "Thank you" to each actor or staff with a smile, which made people feel warm in their hearts, and the newcomers were also a little flattered.
"Director Chen looks very simple when he's not filming."
"That's right, as soon as you shoot a movie, you become a big devil, haha."
Some were laughing, some were making noise, and after a circle, they were almost drunk.
The consultant watched the excitement from the sidelines, and seeing that the time was almost up, he greeted everyone, and left with Wang Bin first.
Wang Bin didn't drink, but only ate some meat. The consultant glanced at it unintentionally and was surprised, it was Lu Zhishen reincarnated!There is a lot of energy in eating meat, and people eat it with small blades. Wang Bin just took the leg of lamb, tore it off with big mouthfuls, and swallowed it directly into his stomach.
Thinking of this, the consultant was a little funny. He glanced at Wang Bin and said with a smile, "Lu Zhishen, no, Wang Bin, are you full?"
"No!" Wang Bin shook his head and said angrily, "They were quick to attack! If I didn't pay attention, I would have a few bones left, which would be boring to chew on."
The consultant is speechless, Xin Dao, why don't you hurry up, your eating speed, if you slow down, everyone can only gnaw on the bones, but thinking about it this way, he really didn't notice Wang Bin's appetite before. Follow him to eat boxed lunch, which is only two or two meters. Does Wang Bin feel hungry every day?
At the same time that the consultant was sad, he had already entered the third ring road. After getting off the ring road, the residential area where the consultant lived was about two kilometers ahead, but the car suddenly turned a corner. After swiping his card, he entered an underground garage. The two of them seemed to be used to it. He got out of the car and went up to the sixteenth floor from the elevator.
"Ding!"
The elevator door opened, and after passing through a dark aisle, the innermost meeting room was still lit. When he walked up to him, the consultant pushed the door open and entered.
"came back."
Everyone in the meeting room smiled and said hello.
The consultant also smiled and said "um", and naturally sat down beside Chu Ze.
This is the best office building in the neighborhood, with convenient transportation, not far from the third ring road, and the subway entrance is just a few tens of meters away. After moving away, the sixteenth floor was vacated, and Chu Ze rented it out as a place for the new company to prepare for its office.
But the most important thing is that it is very close to the consultant's home, and it only takes about 10 minutes to walk.
This kind of selfishness is tacitly understood by everyone.
Seeing the consultant sit down, Wang Bin also sat down next to He Shuo naturally, and everyone else smiled "hehe" and looked very understanding, only He Laoliu had a gloomy face.It doesn't matter if the young master likes a man, he is not a serious elder, but his own son is actually interested in a man! ! !
He Shuo squinted his eyes, and in front of his father, he thoughtfully took a glass of water for Wang Bin, and whispered a few whispers by the way.
He Laoliu's face darkened even more.
Everyone was a little amused. The father and son were born enemies. As long as two people are present at the same time, there will be some awkwardness. This kind of thing is common.
Those present were all the backbone team of the new company, including several old acquaintances among the consultants, He Shuo, He Laoliu, Yuan Ye, Liu Qingyao, and a few key figures brought out by He Shuo. There are only so many people in the process for the time being. In fact, there are many old employees who are willing to leave Shengshi and follow Chu Ze, but Chu Ze confiscated them.
At present, those who can participate in the preparatory work are relatively trustworthy people. Just to prevent the leakage of secrets, Yuan Ye and Liu Qingyao have followed the consultant firmly since they were filming together. Later, under the introduction of the consultant, they also Joined Shengshi and became a signed artist.
After learning that they would establish a new company, they also actively asked to join. Regarding the character of these two people, the consultants can still guarantee, and both of them are currently popular and young, and they are relatively good at acting. If you are talented, cultivate it well in the future, the first line is not a problem.
In the future, the company will still develop in the field of film and television, and it will also need to sign many artists, so Chu Ze agreed.
As for He Shuo, he has always been Chu Ze's loyal party, and the others have also followed Chu Ze all the time, and they are all people who can be trusted.
"Why are you still in the meeting so late?"
After drinking the wine, I felt a little sleepy, and kept rushing up. The consultant rubbed the corners of his eyes, yawned and asked.
Originally they were planning to go home and rest, but Chu Ze called halfway, saying that they were still in a meeting, and asked them to come over and come up with ideas together.
Smelling the faint smell of alcohol in the air, Chu Ze frowned, "How much did you drink?"
The consultant looked a little drunk, his face flushed, but because his complexion was fair, there was a little bit of blush in his blush, and he showed a few teeth when he smiled, so cute, the eyes of the people around him were a little fixed Chu Ze was even more depressed, and knocked on the table, "What should I do!!! Are you free!"
"whispering sound!"
Everyone looked away awkwardly, and continued talking about the topic just now.
The consultant sticks out his tongue, rubs against the tip of Chu Ze's ear and whispers, "I didn't drink much, Director Chen drank too much, they dare not pour me alcohol, after all, I have Lu Zhishen by my side, haha!"
"Lu Zhishen?"
Chu Ze was puzzled for a moment, and when he saw Wang Bin sideways, he immediately understood, and smiled helplessly, "Yes, they look alike."
The next moment, the body froze.
The consultant's hands fumbled on him dishonestly, muttering while touching him, "Did you lose weight? I just told you to eat more barbecue, but you didn't listen! There are also crayfish, which taste great! But they I'm not as good-looking as you!"
......
His body was tense, his throat was a bit astringent, and he still maintained a serious look on his face. The heat in his body rose even more "crack ceng ceng". After taking a few deep breaths, Chu Ze calmly put his hands down. Going down, he grabbed the consultant's flailing paws, and took him into his arms.
"Hey, don't make trouble, I'll let you touch it later when I go back."
The consultant rubbed his face, and said with a little milk voice as if he had just woken up, "Touch it casually?"
There was a moment of silence.
He Shuo started first, and repeated with a smirk, "Boss, just touch it!" He Shuo
Everyone also became bolder, joking around. As the only girl among them, Liu Qingyao flirted more vigorously than the boys, blurting out all kinds of dirty jokes.
Chu Ze: "..."
Yuan Ye said helplessly, "Qingyao, boys tell pornographic jokes to make girls shy, not to make you come back with more pornographic jokes!"
"Puff!" A few times, everyone present laughed.
Even He Laoliu smiled a little. Looking at the energetic appearance of these young people, he felt relieved. Without the shackles of the somewhat decayed body of Shengshi, Chu Ze's road may go further.
After such a fuss, no one paid attention to the words of the consultant just now, and Chu Ze was also relieved, after all, he is the boss, he can't lose face, and was about to let the consultant go to rest first, when he saw that this person was already leaning on his shoulder , breathing heavily, and some slight snoring.
"I really can't do anything about you." Chu Ze sighed, put his arms around the consultant, and adjusted the angle very lightly, so that the consultant could lean more comfortably.
"Stop making trouble, hurry up and decide on the name, and the last task of today will be completed."
The preparation of the new company has been going on for nearly a month, everything is ready, only Dongfeng is in need, and now the name of the company has not been decided, and everyone has been brainstorming for more than an hour, but the result is not very satisfactory.
"I think Dapeng is very good. Dapeng spreads its wings! Fly high!" He Shuo said.
"Let's go!"
He Laoliu slapped his son and said disgustedly, "It sounds like a poultry farmer."
He Shuo rolled his eyes, "With a father like you, my son is only at this level."
He Laoliu subconsciously wanted to slap again, but Wang Bin blocked it directly, waved his hand in the air, but he still didn't slap him, he just mumbled to himself, "I really owed you in my last life. .”
In fact, he also felt distressed. He Shuo was about the same age as Chu Ze. In the early years, the master was busy with work and was not at home. Basically, he took care of Chu Ze. Naturally, he didn't pay much attention to He Shuo, and the relationship between father and son was not very close.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Yuan Ye chuckled, and Circus said, "I think Dapeng is okay, what about the others?"
"Fu Guang!"
"Why does it feel like promoting a cult haha!"
"Lewen."
"Sounds like a pirated website!"
"..."
After discussing for a long time, there is still no progress. The main reason is that the names are not impressive enough. Now there are several giants in the entertainment industry, not to mention the others. Shengshi and Dynasty are more noble than each other. They came from Shengshi and their future goals It is also beyond the prosperous age, so the name has to be contended for.
"that!"
During the discussion, Wang Bin seemed to have remembered something, and said, "Brother Gu thought of something before, and told you to refer to it."
"What is it called?"
"Kaiyuan."
He Shuo smacked his mouth, "Kaiyuan?"
"Well, there are two meanings. First, we are starting again. Everything is a new starting point. Kaiyuan just fits this situation. Second, Kaiyuan's prosperous age just overwhelms them!"
Wang Bin explained a few words, and everyone understood it. After thinking about it, it is really interesting.
"I agree!" He Shuo raised his hand first.
"I agree too!"
"Me too!"
For a while, they all voted for it. The name is impressive enough, and it was the idea of a consultant. No matter what, I have to give the future boss—mother—a little face. Uh, there seems to be something wrong.
Seeing that everyone agreed to the name, Chu Ze simply decided, "Then it's settled, Kaiyuan Company!"
"Ouch!"
The champagne that I don’t know where I got it opened with a “pop!”, and it splashed everywhere. Everyone was a little excited. It was indeed like what the consultant said. This is a new journey, and the road ahead is unknown, but At least now they have a clear direction and excellent partners, and they are willing to fight for this.
"Sure enough, he is a writer."
He Shuo muttered a few words, Yuan Ye looked over suspiciously, "Who is a writer?"
"Gu--the ghost knows." He Shuo wiped off his sweat. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and changed his tone temporarily. Now Yuan Ye and others don't know that the consultant is an Internet master. It's better to pick it out when you want to be exposed.
After a lot of fuss, it was getting late, so I decided to just make do with the night in the company. There were two suites behind the conference room. He Laoliu was an elder, so naturally he wanted to sleep alone, and the others lived in another room. The suite was just okay, Liu Qingyao slept on the bed, and a few boys slept on the floor, so they could rest for a while.
As for the consultant, naturally he would not sleep with them, and Chu Ze would not agree.
There was also a single room in the president's office. Chu Ze helped the consultant to it, and set up a camp bed for himself beside it.
He Shuo glanced at the single bed, and said slyly, "Boss, there is enough space, just be careful."
"You bastard, get out!" Chu Ze's face darkened.
"Haha, be careful at night, be careful not to hurt your body, remember to register the company tomorrow."
The fading away laughter echoed in the empty room, accompanied by trills, and Chu Ze's face became more gloomy. He glanced down, then at the sleeping consultant, and smiled slightly. The uncheckable sighed, grabbed the towel and covered it with the consultant.
I was nestled on the camp bed. I was too tall and couldn't put my body down. I could only curl my legs slightly, and fell asleep like this.
The night has turned white, and there are still a few stars hanging in the sky, very few in number, but extremely bright.
