As Zhou Xing expected, the shooting progress of [The Grandmaster] is extremely slow, and it can even be said to be outrageously slow. As the opera Zhang Ziyi said, the original contract she signed was eight months, but so far the shooting cycle has been halfway through, and it has just been less than one-tenth of the progress.

If it were a different director, the agency behind the actor would have been furious, but who made this guy the king of sunglasses so he could only break his teeth and swallow it.

The same is true for Zhou Xing to join the shooting. Every day, King of Sunglasses holds a page of paper, with about twenty lines of words, and then only three or four lines can be taken every day. Many times, even though Zhou Xing thinks there is no problem with the shot, King of Sunglasses will always take several shots, and the worst thing is that he doesn't tell you why he wants to reshoot it.

Once Zhou Xing asked curiously: "Director Wang, is there any problem with this shot?"

As a result, the King of Sunglasses replied: "Oh, no problem, it's pretty good."

Zhou Xing rolled his eyes secretly. It was actually not good enough. However, he told the actors what was not good enough and insisted on thinking about it yourself. Of course, for actors, it is indeed easier to improve their acting skills with such directors. Unlike many directors who directly told you what expressions and mentality you should have at this time, when you habitually give up thinking, your acting skills will naturally be fixed.

Fortunately, the King of Sunglasses does not prohibit actors from taking leave. After all, even if the actor is rich, the people who follow him cannot withstand it. They can still take on some performances, endorsements, etc., of course, it is definitely not allowed to play. No actor dares to play the King of Sunglasses.

When Zhou Xing saw the King of Sunglasses' posture, he probably couldn't finish the filming for a year, so he also asked for leave in the middle.

King of Sunglasses teased: "Don't you never take on commercial performances?"

Zhou Xing said angrily: "Big Boss, I also have a large group of people under my command to support."

After the beginning of the year, "Zhixing Film and Television" also embarked on the journey of 2012. General affairs can be solved by Gao Qunshu and Anli. However, when encountering issues that determine the company's fate, Zhou Xing still has to make a decision.

"Mr. Zhou, the box office share of the 33-day breakup last year has arrived. There are still 230 million yuan in the company's accounts. In addition to the customary policy, the Finance Department needs to use 30 million yuan as the company's six-month maintenance funds, the rest can be used as the company's investment budget this year." Third-party financial exchange report.

There was a commotion in the conference room. You should know that the company's overall budget last year was only 50 million, which also led to the inability to start some projects. The budget of this year by 200 million means that the company will have more projects to start. Those who are qualified to hold this meeting are all project producers led by the company, and they all began to think about starting more projects.

"Cough, why are you all quarrels? Look at your appearance that you have never seen money, is it embarrassing to lose it!" Gao Qunshu cleared his throat and said angrily.

It was all young people who didn't feel embarrassed. They burst into laughter, but their eyes were full of fighting spirit. Generally, at their age, most of them were still qualified to work on projects. Not to mention the relationship was not strong, they would not even have the qualifications to help others.

The income of the production team of "Zhixing Film and Television" is directly linked to the project. For example, last year, those who did the three projects [Du Lala's promotion record] [Mingsui Xinyu] [33 Days of Love Break], the income of one project is up to several years of salary and the real money is paid. How can you not do anything to your life?

In fact, many times, young people are not willing to work, but they have to depend on who they work for. Some bosses just paint big cakes for others, and they put their pockets in their pockets when something happens. If something happens, they will let their subordinates resist. Such bosses are embarrassed to say that young people cannot endure hardships?

Zhou Xing also joked halfway: "Don't think about emptying all the money in the company at the beginning of the year. What should I do in the second half of the year? Is life still too long?"

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Zhou Xing said seriously again: "The budget is just there, but whether you can get it or not depends on your ability. Last year, the company became famous, so this year's project review will only be more strict. Since we have to do it, we have to do high-quality products. Everyone should have seen that the benefits brought by a high-quality series are beyond the reach of ten mediocre series."

I glanced at the producers in the group and they all had high fighting spirits and were obviously very confident in themselves.

Gao Qunshu said: "Then report their respective projects to Mr. Zhou."

"Mr. Zhou, our group's first project this year is the sequel to [Mingsuo Xinyu]..."

"The project we group is [Let's get married]..."

Zhou Xing has actually seen some of the general situations of these projects and laughed in his heart. These guys really know that the company is rich and have started to produce them one by one. It would be fine. Yuan Shanshan is the female lead, and the company will not lose anything.

[Let's get married] The project team will directly invite the two most popular TV actors at present, and the pay for these two people alone is more than 30 million.

Of course, this is also a normal phenomenon in the TV drama industry. Often, the pay of popular stars will account for half of the entire TV drama production cost, or even more. But there is no way. Sometimes a TV drama often relies on popular stars to drive the TV drama.

Four projects were approved, but Zhou Xing was not satisfied: "The screenwriter team must assume the obligation of creation. You are the source of creation. Don't study what the audience on the market likes to read and copy. At that time, the project team should do. If there is really no inspiration, you can adapt some novels. The company has purchased so many novel copyrights, and it is not a copy of the copyright library."

The screenwriter team was actually very wronged when Zhou Xing criticized him, because all the company's profits were based on the fact that the project could make money. Seeing that the project team was popular and drinking, they would naturally think about how to cater to the market so that their scripts could be attracted by more reliable project teams.

However, after hearing what the boss said, the screenwriter team has indeed opened up their minds. In fact, no one wants to copy those old mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas. Adapting novels is indeed a good way.

After the meeting, Gao Qunshu did not leave, but handed it to Zhou Xing with a document: "Xu Zheng, do you still have the impression of it?"

Zhou Xing nodded: "I had dealt with [Crazy Stone] when I was filming it." As he said, he picked up the document curiously, and saw that it was a project report with part of the script.

After reading the beginning of the script, what can I say? This script is a bit tacky, but many of the jokes in it are very down-to-earth, and the project budget is only 30 million, so this book should not lose.

Zhou Xing asked curiously: "How could Xu Zheng think of us to invest here?"

Gao Qunshu shrugged: "He originally wanted to invest in Huayi, but he thought his book was too vulgar, and Xu Zheng wanted to be a director himself and also participated in the share of the money, so he didn't reach an agreement."

No wonder, as an actor, Xu Zheng has performed well so far in both TV series and movies. However, you should know that he is only 40 years old this year and has no experience as a film director before. Thirty million is nothing to Huayi, but the money from any company is not caused by the strong wind.

The reason why Huayi rejected Xu Zheng was not because of the vulgar scripts, but because they were not optimistic about Xu Zheng's ability. After all, the era of famous directors has not yet come to an end. In the perception of the Wang brothers, no one can be a director.

"This project can be done, but Xu Zheng's personal share ratio should be kept as low as possible. Not everyone is willing to throw tens of millions of dollars to play with him." Zhou Xingdao.

Gao Qunshu nodded: "I understand, I'll talk to him now."

After they finished their talk, anli told Zhou Xing: "I originally planned to make Wang Zhi the second Michelle Yeoh, but you also know that there are too few kung fu movies now. Aren't you filming [The Grandmaster]? Is there any role that suits her?"

Zhou Xing smiled bitterly: "Sister anli, you really look down on me. That's the place for the King of Sunglasses. I'm not so big that I can stuff people into his crew, right?"

"I'll ask, I won't lose anyway."

This kind of thing must not be called to ask, as it seems too disrespectful. Zhou Xing is going to return to the crew and then mention it to King Sunglasses.

After the company's affairs were handled, Zhou Xing returned home and left the house for two months. The little guy stopped kissing him. The little guy who was ten months old could crawl everywhere and use his hands and feet. Tong Liya, a bad woman, often threw the little guy to the other side of the bed and seduced him on the other side. When the little guy finally climbed to the destination, she ran to the other side.

The little guy was so tired that he stayed with saliva. Finally, he cried impatiently. Zhou Xing quickly hugged his son in his arms to comfort him.

"Boy, I still know how to find a backer." Tong Liya grabbed the little guy's face.

Finally, the little guy stopped crying and was impatiently staying in Zhou Xing's arms. Zhou's mother took it with a heartache: "Haohao comes to grandma quickly and ignores the two big villains."

The little guy's name is Zhou Hao, which is named Zhou Xing. He scratched his head and thought about it for many days, but in the end he was not satisfied. In the end, he could only turn the dictionary. When he saw the word Hao, he felt very pleasant, and it was it.

Tong Liya has disliked this more than once, saying that she would not be better than to take it. She would always be "punished" by Zhou Xing. Naming the child is the father's sacred mission.

After two months of separation, the small separation is better than the newlyweds. Zhou Xing suddenly understood why it is said that women's aunt is a stumbling block before marriage and a savior after marriage.

Exhausted Tong Liya lay on Zhou Xing, panting: "We may have to hire a nanny. Our mother told me that she would go home for a while. If it really doesn't work, I will ask my mother to help take her for a while."

Zhou Xing thought about it, the climate in the north and south was completely different. If Zhou’s mother hadn’t felt sorry for her grandson, she would have wanted to go back long ago, not to mention that Zhou’s father and eldest grandson were also in Guangdong Province.

"Farewell, my dad has the elder brother and sister-in-law to take care of him. If our mom comes, our dad can't eat in the cafeteria every day at home, right? Don't worry, I will do it as soon as possible."

Tong Liya was quite satisfied with Zhou Xing's answer. She rubbed her chest like a lazy kitten, and then she gradually fell asleep.

In 2012, the housekeeping service in Beijing had already reached a certain scale, but suitable nannies were not so easy to find. I used to only hear that employers chose nannies, but during the interview, I found that nannies were actually choosing employers. Some nannies heard that they wanted to take care of their children, so they turned around and left.

Of course, Tong Liya is also very picky. The nanny should not look too fierce. Her explanation is: appearance is born from the heart.

Zhou Xing rolled his eyes. In fact, the old actors who often look fierce in TV dramas are very kind in reality, such as: Mama Rong?

In the end, he was picky and the one who was suitable for both parties was a Bashu girl. The four brothers and sisters in the family were burdened by a lot. They came to Beijing to work in their teenage years. They have been more than ten years. They are not beautiful, but they are gentle and gentle. The little guy seemed to have no resistance to her. He hugged her and didn't cry when he first met.

The little girl is very diligent and starts to clean up as soon as she arrives at home. Mother Zhou can't stop her. However, the road is far away and knows how to achieve a long time. Whether she can do it for a long time depends on her future performance.

Zhou's mother decided to stay at home for another month and inspect the girl. She was afraid that she would not be able to do it for a long time, so she left and no one took care of her grandson, so she was worried.

After staying at home for a week, Zhou Xing went to the crew to report.

King of Sunglasses is still very slow. During the period when Zhou Xing walked, the crew's progress was not enough for other crews to play for one or two days.

Of course, it is not that what King of Sunglasses does is useless. On the contrary, he is very careful in filming and has stricter requirements for the camera.

The literary drama is actually easy to handle, and it will be very troublesome when it is the turn of martial arts drama. Yuan Baye has been in contact with all kinds of directors, and he will be fooled when he meets the King of Sunglasses. Sometimes he has no idea what kind of action he wants.

The same is true for actors. When fighting scenes are inevitably injured, they end up beating the King of Sunglasses for a long time and shouting: "Crack." Then they directly overturned the fighting scene and started over again.

Zhang Ziyi has also acted in many martial arts films, but in fact he still has a certain foundation and has practiced Baguazhang for a long time. However, many of the actions still do not meet the requirements of the King of Sunglasses.

Martial arts are different from Sanda. You can see results after practicing for one or two years. Martial arts is also called Kung Fu. Kung Fu is achieved through time. If time is not available, it will not work. It has nothing to do with whether you work hard or not.

Zhang Ziyi was actually unwilling to use a substitute at first, but after all, after suffering so much, he ended up losing all his efforts.

"Go to the stand-in."

Zhou Xing suddenly had an inspiration: "Director Wang, I have an actor under me who has been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and his skills are pretty good. Can you give her a chance?"

The King of Sunglasses subconsciously looked at Master Yuan Ba, who looked at Zhou Xing again, and then nodded.

"Then let her try it, but I may not be able to use it if I come." The King of Sunglasses said and left.

Master Yuan Ba ​​patted Zhou Xing on the shoulder and left without saying anything.
