After the first act of "A Chinese Odyssey" ended, Lu Yihong left.
"Assembly" was very busy and it was at a critical moment, so he couldn't delay too long.
Lu Yuan looked at Lu Yihong's back and remembered what Lu Yihong said...
Lu Yihong's words made Lu Yuan feel very upset.
He felt that when Lu Yihong described himself in front of Chen Xia, it would definitely not be as simple as when he told himself.
He must be describing himself as a scumbag who is unforgivable and despised by others.
Otherwise, why were Chen Xia's eyes and voice so perfect during the filming?
However, even though Lu Yuan was upset, he couldn't say anything...
This scene in the first act took two days to shoot.
Two days later, Chen Xia's role was finally over.
Of course, although the scene where she showed her face was over, she did not leave.
She continued to stay in Lu Yuan's crew as an extra to make up the numbers. After all, there were quite a few extras in "A Chinese Odyssey", and Lu Yuan felt that many of the actors could be reused.
The average day's pay for extras is around 30 yuan, and those who appear on the show get a little more, at 60 yuan.
Chen Xia's pay is the highest among all extras, at 260 yuan a day.
Why?
Because in addition to being an extra like everyone else, Chen Xia also did some odd jobs like cleaning, such as cleaning the crew, washing props, and helping to set up the scene. In short, she did all the work she could, and every day she would be so busy that she was exhausted before she could lie down in bed.
In fact, it's a bit of a loss to do so much work for a salary of 260 yuan.
But Chen Xia didn't feel wronged. Instead, she felt very honored.
after all……
The heroine Xu Lu is also doing some work that is not her job.
Chen Xia discovered that Lu Yuan’s crew was completely different from other crews.
This crew is really weird.
Other crews are cold and indifferent. After filming, everyone is busy with their own things and there is basically no room for communication. However, this crew is very humane.
In other words, apart from Mr. Lu, the big shot, everyone else in the crew has to do some work.
for example……
Assistant director Li Qi.
Li Qi is awesome, right?
Yes.
After the filming of "This Man From Earth", Li Qi became famous instantly and had become a rising star in the director circle. Many media even regarded Li Qi as the hope of future science fiction films!
Such a person is worthy of courtesy even if he goes to Tianyu, right?
but……
In this crew, Chen Xia felt that although Li Qi was the assistant director, he was more like a handyman.
Have you ever seen an assistant director get up early in the morning to set up the scene with others?
Have you ever seen an assistant director doing some cleaning work occasionally?
In short, Chen Xia had never seen it before.
Then, when Wei Wuji came over, Chen Xia felt even more subverted.
Who is Wei Wuji?
Just won the Best Director Award at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards!
This identity is extremely impressive. Whoever sees him will surely call him Director Wei and flatter him.
But……
Such a great director actually eats the same lunch box with everyone else.
and……
Chen Xia even saw Wei Wuji following Lu Yuan happily and helping Lu Yuan carry the props.
If Chen Xia had not seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought that this was the most ridiculous thing in the entire entertainment industry.
but……
This absurdity actually appeared in the crew.
So how could Chen Xia, a small actor with no status in the crew, not work hard? Not only Chen Xia, but basically everyone in the crew was working, and their efficiency was also very high.
…
Lu Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with the way everyone was working.
Not only did Lu Yuan not feel anything wrong, even Fatty Wei, Li Qi, and everyone else didn't think there was anything wrong with their work.
They have thoroughly embraced "remote" entertainment as a whole.
Well, or you can say that "remote" has become their home.
What's wrong with helping out around the house?
This is normal, isn't it?
Fatty Wei has been very happy recently.
Although Fatty Wei was sometimes a mess, he built up the company step by step with Lu Yuan.
He has deep feelings for this company.
And Wu Tingting has been supervising Fatty Wei recently.
She instilled in Wei Pangzi that men should not be lazy and so on every day, and at the same time she used words to squeeze Wei Pangzi, asking him to lose weight with her...
Fatty Wei is not afraid of anything in other places, but he becomes inexplicably timid when he meets Wu Tingting.
Whenever Wu Tingting gave him a smile, he would be happy all day long, like a fool.
In addition, he was used to working in the company, and after coming to Lu Yuan's crew and being squeezed by Wu Tingting, he worked so seriously!
Seeing that Fatty Wei, the best director, is working so hard...
Who else dares to be lazy?
It's a strange virtuous cycle.
…
August 12th.
clear.
The sky is full of wind and sand.
Qin Ya walked out of the wind and sand alone and silently.
Her current name is Chun Sanshi Niang.
A weak woman actually looks out of place in this vast land.
However, this sense of incongruity creates a very mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.
Qin Ya prepared for this role for a long time. In fact, when she officially started filming, she felt that she had really grasped the flavor of this role.
Lu Yuan is a very strict director, and she knew it from what happened with Chen Xia.
Therefore, she always reminds herself to handle every detail well without any mistakes, and analyze the character's psychology for every action...
The sun shone silently on her face...
She walked into the bandits' den in Wuyue Mountain.
Then she smiled and looked at the group of bandits with ferocious faces, full of energy and a very mysterious feeling.
Where the peach blossoms pass, no grass grows, money falls to the ground, and people’s lives are lost.
It's her.
Yes, she was going to display this kind of indescribable aura, and at the same time, she felt that Chun Sanshi Niang should be such a person.
She felt that Chun Sanshi Niang was a person who should be a little bit arrogant and also a little bit disdainful, but of course there should be a hint of sarcasm in her disdain.
Lu Yuan looked at Qin Ya under the camera.
His expression was calm as he stared at every detail of her very carefully, then compared them with the person in his memory.
There are certain differences in details, and there are also certain differences in the expressions when speaking the lines.
but……
However, Lu Yuan did not think that her acting was bad. Instead, she interpreted the role of Chun Sanshi Niang in a different way.
Even every frown and smile reflects his understanding of the character.
Although the person was a little different from the one in his memory, Lu Yuan did not interrupt her directly.
She performed in different flavors.
Oh shit!
I picked up a great treasure for 150,000 yuan.
This money is worth it!
"Card!"
but……
The momentum when he first appeared was very good, but his control was a little weaker afterwards.
After all, Qin Ya was still a little immature. Lu Yuan interrupted and shook his head. He personally started to describe the actions that Qin Ya needed to pay attention to, as well as the character's personality and expressions...
Qin Ya looked at Lu Yuan silently.
She found that Lu Yuan had a much deeper understanding of the role of Chun Sanshi Niang than she did.
She originally thought that her understanding of this role was fine, but after Lu Yuanyi's explanation, she suddenly realized that her understanding was indeed somewhat biased...
Then, Qin Ya suddenly had a feeling.
If Mr. Lu were to play the role of Chun Sanshi Niang, then wouldn't it be...
Bah, bah!
The scene was so beautiful that she couldn't even imagine it.
…
It's another night.
There is moonlight.
Lu Yuan stayed alone in the temporary office, looking at various shooting data and reports.
He closed his eyes slightly.
The filming progress of "A Chinese Odyssey" was much faster than Lu Yuan had imagined.
Lu Yuan originally thought that this movie would take at least half a year to shoot.
After all, Qin Ya and others are new actors, so many aspects may not be ideal and there are definitely some shortcomings.
But ever since Qin Ya appeared, Lu Yuan realized that he had been thinking completely the wrong thing.
There are always some geniuses in this world, for example, Xu Lu is a genius in acting. When filming "Groundhog Day", Lu Yuan found that Xu Lu only needed a little help in many aspects!
Now, there is another genius, Qin Ya.
These two people are really worry-free.
In fact, the acting skills of the leading actresses in "A Chinese Odyssey" are quite high, so Lu Yuan feels that the most problems in the filming of "A Chinese Odyssey" are the problems with the actresses...
Now……
These issues are no longer a problem.
It’s been about five days since the start of filming.
Lu Yuan calculated the expenses for five days and found that it was quite economical.
After taking into account lunch and other expenses for five days, Lu Yuan probably spent about 200,000 yuan.
Well, that’s an average of 40,000 per day.
If you calculate it this way, even if you add the actors' salaries later, it can be filmed for less than 10 million?
That’s right!
There are also special effects.
Special effects also account for a considerable expense.
But even though the cost of special effects is not small, no matter how much is wasted, it can’t be more than 20 million, right?
So, all in all, this movie can really make around 30 million?
Lu Yuan scratched his head.
So after getting 100 million in advertising sponsorship, can I still make a net profit of 70 million after finishing the whole movie?
this……
It feels a bit comfortable!
Sleep sleep...
Just when Lu Yuan was about to go to bed, he suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance?
Wait, there was a fight?
Lu Yuan frowned, then walked out of the house and went towards the sound.
At the end of the road there was a big rock. Next to the big rock, Lu Yuan saw a group of people gathered there...
"Old Huang, that's awesome!"
"One more!"
"Haha, one more song!"
"Is there anyone who can play the erhu? If so, can you play with me?"
"Ha ha!"
From a distance, Lu Yuan could hear Fatty Wei shouting at the top of his lungs.
Suona?
Erhu?
etc!
like……
Forehead……
I can't remember.
After hearing the two instruments, Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment and stopped.
Something seemed to flash through his mind.
But……
The thing that flashed by disappeared in an instant.
Then Lu Yuan shook his head and continued walking towards the crowd.
