Chapter 11 Lao Hu

According to the shooting plan, Chen Lin was planning to return to China to take pictures of the train car after finishing the shooting.

Unfortunately, things are not going well.

The local extras guess that they bullied Chen Lin and were outsiders, and they actually wanted to take advantage of the crew!

This is not good, when did Chen Lin suffer such a loss, so he might as well return to China directly. As for scenes, let the prop group be built.

In fact, the production cost of "Travel to Bangkok" reached 130 million, which is considered a big production. The special effects in the later stage account for most of them, and the cost of actors is still good. Except for Lao Hu's slightly higher value, the starring actors gave him 12 million, and the rest were less than 2 million.

The money spent on extras is not much, especially local Thai extras, which can only be hundreds of thousands at most. According to Wendi Deng’s opinion, what can I do if I spend more?

However, Chen Lin just didn't want to.

Damn, why?

Labor and capital are coming to your side to film. Hundreds of people in the crew have contributed to the increase in GDP in the local area. Do you still have to hire all your extras?

Brother is not Nightingale!

I would rather spend more money on my territory.

This is our values ​​of Lin Shao.

The entire crew, Chen Lin, is the biggest, his opinion is the truth.

Therefore, the focus of the discussions of several behind-the-scenes creators was on filming after returning to China, mainly coordinating the actor schedule.

The actors have signed the schedule, and you will have to delay at least two more days if you make such a struggle.

Fortunately, most of them are signed actors from their own company or friends who have close ties with Chen Lin, so they should be easier to talk to.

"Director, then we will return home tomorrow?"

The discussion is over, and now the return date is confirmed.

"Well, let me go back tomorrow, let Lao Chen book a plane ticket..."

...

The entire crew of "Travel to Bangkok" moved to China.

Two days later, a train stop in China.

Chen Lin and the crew rented for eight hours for two days, and did not enter the stop during this period.

"Xiao Chen, you are responsible for staring at the position a;"

"Old Zhang, Director B has given it to you;"

"Old Chen, the C is your scope. I personally follow the photos of the remaining D. I have simulated it five times in the past two days, so I will try to pass this time!"

The big scene is about to start, Chen Lin discusses the next shooting task with several assistant directors.

Generally, shooting such large scenes will definitely require several groups to act together. It is impossible for a director to complete so many scenes at once. Of course, if you don’t care about the hassle, you can shoot them in batches, but that’s too inefficient.

There are eight deputy directors in the entire crew, most of whom have been filmed with Chen Lin. To put it bluntly, these people can stand alone when they can just take other scenes, so Chen Lin is quite relieved.

"By the way, the No. 4 aircraft, you are responsible for capturing the panoramic view, so you must always be vigilant!"

"Don't worry! Director!"

"Okay, start shooting!"

Not far away, several staff members from the train station looked at the crew being filmed and began gossiping about the time.

"Old Li, I understand. I've been busy all day yesterday and prepared for today, right?"

"Yes, this is called a test shot! It's so professional!"

"What's wrong, Lao Li, do you still understand this?"

"Haha, I've also been to Hengdian before. I can see this with a glance at the crew!"

"...Oh! Lao Li, then tell us, where is the crew professional of Director Chen Lin?"

A group of people surrounded the fat man in the middle of 40 years old, Lao Li. The latter took out a pack of white sand from his pocket and took out one. Then a person who knew him took a lighter. Lao Li took a deep breath: "This crew is similar to us, all from all over the world, with many people and complexity. Look at Chen Lin's crew, there are also a few people of three or four hundred people. From yesterday to now, have you seen someone lazy?"

Several people shook their heads, and one of them said, "Don't be lazy, I see that they don't even smoke. Except for lunch, someone smokes, and when they leave, they cleaned our floor!"

"Haha, so I'm professional!"

Sighing, Lao Li continued, "I followed seven or eight crews in Hengdian. The most professional crew was the crew with director HK. But the crew often came to us to chat and spank, let alone our domestic crew. It was simply a vegetable market. The directors called for filming, and there were still many people busy chatting, and even eating! Just say, can the scenes made by such crews be watched?"

"No wonder the quality of the movies and TV series is so bad now!"

"Just Director Chen Lin's works can give us some thoughts!"

"Hehe... we were shameless yesterday and asked Director Chen for his autograph and took a photo together!"

"Really? Yes, Xiao Zhang! When did you go?"

"Just yesterday when they were having dinner, Director Chen Lin probably wanted to find a toilet, so I led him to the road and we had a few chats."

"Hurry, tell us what are you talking about?"

"I just chatted for a few casually. I asked him what the movie was called and why there were zombies. He said it was a movie about the theme of the doomsday zombies, called "Travel to Bangkok"..."

"Travel to Bangkok? Why do you call this name?"

"I asked, too. Director Chen said that this subject is filmed in China and will not be broadcasted, so he can't pass the review at all. So he moved the background to Thailand. It turned out that he wanted to call it "Traveling to the East China Sea"!"

"What kind of chrysanthemum isn't allowed to be photographed again?"

"Um."

Several people fell silent. A few minutes later, the originally proud Xiao Zhang asked Lao Li, who had never spoken with doubts. After all, he was the only person here who had experienced the entertainment industry!

"Old Li, you said that Director Chen Lin is so big that he doesn't let him make such a movie. Is there any savings in our country's movies?"

"...It's already very good, at least you can still shoot curves. You can't even think about it a few years ago!"

Despite this, Old Li sighed: "Hey, in this environment, why are you talking about going to Hollywood? I guess there will be no chance in this life!"

"That's right, people can shoot "Resident Evil" and can be released in China. Why can't we shoot?"

"He can still film "The Fall of the White House" and "Assassination of Kennedy"..."

"...I said are you enough? Is this something we should care about? Let's be honest and do our job well!"

A short and fat man wearing glasses interrupted him very bluntly.

"No, Lao Xu, why do I feel so annoyed now? In this environment, don't talk about state affairs or military affairs, what else can I talk about? Apart from the entertainment industry, can we talk about some? Talk to you about Lu Xun, Gorky, and Tagore? If you are willing to listen, I have no need to talk about it!"

"No, I...I am..."

"Hey, there seemed to be something wrong with one of their links just now. I'll go, Lao Hu fell down, hiss, it hurts!"

The shouts of a colleague named Yang who had been paying attention to the shooting once again attracted the attention of the spectators to the shooting site.

"Old Hu, are you okay?"

Just now, when Lao Hu was running with Liu Chutian in his arms, he tripped his legs and fell miserably. He hit the ground with his elbow. If he hadn't had a child in his hand, he wouldn't have fallen in this way.

"...It's okay, I've just fallen off the horse before!"

Lao Hu looked at the wound that had been treated by the medical staff indifferently. It was very polished and the blood had already oozed out. Fortunately, this guy was wearing a suit, and the quality of the suit was not bad, otherwise, he might have really hurt his bones.

It hurts so much after thinking about it. Chen Lin suggested: "I mean, can you still take pictures of this scene again? If not, I'm called a substitute, we can handle it later..."

"Don't, I'm an actor. I want me to give up on this matter, that's not possible!"

Lao Hu tried to move his lower arm, his face slightly deformed, but he still kept smiling and said.

"No, don't hold on, you are the protagonist, this thing..."

"I know my body myself, no problem! Come on, Tiantian, can I run with my dad again?"

The following sentence is asking the child Liu Chutian who has been silently following him.

"good…"

The little girl nodded and agreed.

"Okay, let's start!"
