Xu Cancan looked at the test report quietly.
The test report showed that the lunch box was not poisonous.
It’s just that the vegetables in the lunch boxes were from two days ago. The lunch box set was not thrown away, but mixed with fresh lunch boxes and sold together.
Expired dishes are a bit sour, but people don’t have much appetite in such a hot day, so these people don’t care about the taste when eating them.
They thought it was the smell of the lunch box itself.
This was originally a small matter.
But Liu Kai's reaction was beyond Xu Cancan's expectations.
Generally when this happens, anyone with a little emotional intelligence will cover it up for the company, and it's not a big deal, so just deal with it and it's over.
But Liu Kai had this attitude.
This seems...
Isn’t that a bit extreme?
Moreover, the company has been clamoring for a pay increase these days, and it seems that a small number of people are quite dissatisfied.
Xu Cancan narrowed his eyes.
It seems that while this matter is being properly handled, we need to investigate who is behind the chaos.
Are they outsiders or insiders?
…
"Such a black-hearted crew!"
"Yeah, they simply don't treat these extras as human beings!"
"Are extras not human beings? Do extras deserve to be treated like enemies? Didn't several movie kings in the entertainment industry once play extras?"
"yes!"
"It's better not to go to this kind of crew. I heard that the pay for these extras is very low!"
"Yeah, if that wasn't the case, then why would there be a fight over a pay increase? If it were me, I would go on strike too!"
"right!"
"This director deserves to be struck by lightning!"
“…”
When Lu Yuan arrived at the crew and heard these words, he subconsciously looked up at the sky.
The sky is cloudless and it looks like it won't rain today.
He felt a little calmer.
While standing outside the crew, Lu Yuan looked at the extras who were moving props and cursing, and immediately swallowed his saliva.
Is it true that everyone in the crew is secretly cursing him?
Lu Yuan thought about it carefully...
How can I not curse?
All the work in the crew was done by these actors, and Li Qi, the assistant director, often did the dirty and tiring work. In less than a month, it seemed like he had just returned from a business trip in Africa...
In this situation, don’t people have many complaints?
At this time in the past, Lu Yuan would join the crew to arrange the start of today's plot, but now Lu Yuan actually felt a little embarrassed.
Forget it, let’s wait until he has vented his anger first.
Lu Yuan hesitated for a while, then walked towards the lunch box group.
In the lunch box group, the person in charge, Lao Zhang, was packing lunch boxes diligently.
"Uncle Zhang..."
"Um, Mr. Lu, good morning." Old Zhang looked up and smiled when he saw Lu Yuan.
"Uncle Zhang, has anyone in the crew complained about the food recently?" Lu Yuan looked at the lunch box and hesitated slightly.
"There are no complaints, but there are a lot of suggestions..." Lao Zhang paused for a moment and looked at Lu Yuan happily, "But Mr. Lu, don't pay attention to them, they are just yelling nonsense..."
"No, no, no... How can you say that you are just yelling nonsense... By the way, what suggestions did they make?"
"What they mean is that it's such a hot day and the lunch boxes are too dry to eat, so they hope that we can put a few pieces of watermelon in the lunch boxes... Mr. Lu, don't you think this is just nonsense? We have soup..." Lao Zhang shook his head.
"Oh, give them some. It's not easy to shoot in this hot weather. Uncle Zhang, I'll ask the purchasing team to get some watermelons..."
"Ah, Mr. Lu, they are just joking around... You don't have to worry about it."
"It's okay, just go with a piece of watermelon."
"Mr. Lu, you are so kind-hearted."
"Ahem, ahem...By the way, let's add a chicken drumstick to the lunch box."
"Two chicken legs?"
"yes."
"The cost is going to be much higher."
"fine."
"Okay, Mr. Lu, isn't this too good for them..."
"We are all human beings. There is nothing good or bad about us. I don't always eat boxed lunches."
"Ah, I forgot about that. But, Mr. Lu, you've been eating lunch with them. Isn't that bad?"
"What's wrong with that? That's it. By the way, is there any problem with the food?"
"Mr. Lu, don't worry. Our 'remote' takeout is strictly controlled. Every lunch box is checked by a special inspection team. Moreover, we have a rule that if a poor quality lunch box is checked, the salary of the worker who packs the lunch boxes will be deducted. As for the quality of the lunch boxes, I can guarantee that no other lunch boxes can compare with ours!" When Lao Zhang talked about the quality of the lunch boxes, his face instantly became serious and he looked very solemn.
Lu Yuan believed this.
My dad might be a little clever with other things, but he is too serious about the quality of his own lunch boxes...
and……
It's impossible for a father to cheat his son, right?
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
There is no problem with the lunch boxes. The most important thing now is to stabilize the crew members and prevent them from being affected by the "Dream Traveler" crew...
After thinking about it, Lu Yuan finally returned to the crew.
The pay of the crew...
The pay for "A Chinese Odyssey" is indeed not high.
Lu Yuan calculated that the total salary of the entire crew was exactly 4.5 million...
This salary is already unbelievably low for a blockbuster movie that cost tens of millions of dollars.
Lu Yuan reflected on it and felt that he seemed...
Does it feel a little bit like Zhou Baopi?
Of course, it was impossible to raise the salary. Lu Yuan felt that if he suddenly announced a salary increase for no reason, it would indirectly mean that he was a little hypocritical...
How will we manage this crew in the future?
However, if I don’t suppress this emotion, maybe one day my crew will also suddenly explode like the crew of “Dream Traveler”…
This is very difficult to deal with.
"Wu Tingting..."
"Mr. Lu..."
"Please tell the purchasing department to deliver three truckloads of watermelons today. It's so hot, and everyone must be working very hard."
"Okay... Mr. Lu, compared with "Dream Travelers", our crew is simply heaven and earth..." Wu Tingting smiled.
"..." Lu Yuan did not listen to Wu Tingting, but walked into the crew calmly.
If you add a chicken drumstick and some watermelon, it might show your sincerity a little bit.
When Lu Yuan walked into the crew, the previous discussions disappeared, and everyone looked at Lu Yuan excitedly, as if...
There was an inexplicable sense of happiness in his expression.
Of course, Lu Yuan didn’t feel that this was a sense of happiness.
He thought they were just pretending.
after all……
No matter how many complaints you have in your heart, who would show a bad face to the leader when he comes?
Lu Yuan understood this principle.
However, Lu Yuan continued to direct the filming without showing any emotion.
As if he knew nothing.
…
noon.
When the sun is at its most poisonous.
After the crew finishes filming a scene, it's time to rest.
The lunch box cart arrived and everyone lined up waiting for their lunch boxes.
At this moment...
"Huh? Did I see that right? Yesterday I just talked to Lao Zhang and said that the lunch box was too dry and it would be better if it could be served with some watermelon. And this lunch was actually served with a piece of watermelon?"
"Wait... Lao Zhang, you are mistaken, right? Wasn't it one chicken leg before? Why are there two chicken legs today? Lao Zhang, you...even though we have a good relationship, but if you give me a backdoor like this, Mr. Lu will fine you!"
"No, I have chicken legs too!"
"Uh...wait, I also have two chicken legs, this..."
"Lao Zhang, what's going on today? Is it some kind of festival? Watermelon and chicken legs..."
"Forehead……"
Old Zhang looked at this group of people who were holding lunch boxes but were afraid to eat, and immediately shook his head in annoyance and looked at the middle-aged man in the front.
"Mr. Lu came to the lunch group this morning and saw that you all have been working very hard recently... I have known Mr. Lu since I was a child. He is a good person in other aspects except that he is soft-hearted... So he asked me to give you a piece of chicken leg as a supplement. As for the watermelon... I just mentioned it casually and Mr. Lu listened..." Old Zhang looked at these people unhappily and immediately shook his head.
"Wow, Mr. Lu is so nice!"
"Yeah... I don't know why, but I feel happier and happier!"
"Yeah, luckily I didn't join the crew of Dream Traveler to play a minor role, otherwise I would have been scratched into something!"
"Yeah... I heard the chicken legs there are even smaller than this, and they're all expired, and the rice isn't even half as good as what we have here!"
"Yeah, the treatment is totally different. They don't treat us extras as human beings at all!"
"Our crew is still the best... Not to mention that the food is full, everyone is equal..."
Li Qi took the lunch box and tried to put on a smile on his face, but then he looked unhappily at those people who seemed so happy while holding their lunch boxes.
"Nonsense, when has President Lu ever treated us unfairly... Hurry up and finish your breakfast and get to work. The plot is quite tight recently, don't drag it out too long..."
"good!"
"clear!"
"receive!"
…
In the afternoon, Lu Yuan took a half-hour nap on the crew and then stretched.
When walking to the rest tent, Lu Yuan saw that everyone was working hard.
In the past, this was rest time!
What's going on?
"Director Li, what's going on? Why did you ask them to work during their break? Don't they need to rest? We can't exploit them like this. What if they get upset?"
"Boss Lu... I didn't ask them to do this. They came to work on their own initiative... As for their tempers, everyone is so touched by you, how could they still be upset?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Yuan was speechless.
"Didn't you have watermelon and chicken legs for lunch today?"
"Yeah, and then?"
"Everyone was very moved... So we thought we had to prepare for a scene in the afternoon, so we all came together..."
"???"
Lu Yuan looked at Li Qi's expression and found that Li Qi was not fooling him.
move?
Didn't you scold me?
etc!
Did I misunderstand something?
Lu Yuan frowned.
Then, he looked at the group of people below. He found that although everyone in this group had sweat on their faces, they were working very hard and seemed happy.
this……
Um?
Why do I feel like these people are brainwashed?
Lu Yuan was a little confused.
Why does it feel like we are not from the same world?
