I really don't want high ratings for my documentaries!

Chapter 528 Return to the crew!

When Zhou Pingping's team came, Xu Wen came forward to receive them.

After that, the specific matters will be negotiated by the company's professional team.

Anyway, it is considered a big company now, and Xu Wen doesn't need to do this kind of bargaining with the people who come to the door.

Otherwise, the boss of a big company would personally bargain with others at the negotiating table, and it would seem that Wu Mie is a bit too cheap.

But although Xu Wen didn't personally participate in the bargaining, he also gave a little explanation to the team members.

For example, Xu Wen's investment ratio should account for more than 60%, and then the budgeted amount of investment should be controlled below 5000 million.

These are considered to be He Nan's side taking the initiative, but it is difficult to deal with He Mei's salary.

First of all, He Mei is a newcomer, and the salary cannot be too high, even for the protagonist, it is only about 50.

As for the other two protagonists, Zhou Pingping planned to invite the two first-line characters he had previously promoted.

Their salaries are all above 800 million.

Such a comparison with Undead seems a bit too shabby.

Fortunately, He Mei has the bonus of "The Actor Born", and the film salary can be slightly increased by 20.

As for the screenwriting fee originally planned for Xu Wen, Xu Wen left it to the team members to use freely.

After explaining this, Xu Wen didn't stay in the company too much.

He turned around and left the company for Hengdian.

He didn't forget that there was also a "Langya Bang" filming there.

For him, "Langya Bang" is Xu Wen's current focus.

After driving for several hours, I finally arrived at this small town known as Eastern Hollywood.

When driving through the town, it is like entering a place where time and space intersect.

Walking on the road, you can see girls and generals in ancient costumes, young couples in modern costumes, and even a group of cheongsam women popping out of nowhere.

It can be said that people of any dynasty and status can see it in this place.

Immortals eat boxed meals with mortals, and emperors and court ladies get together to chat.

This is also the place where countless grassroots with star dreams struggle.

Since Baoqiang came out, many people think that they are the next one.

But after so many years, there is no next one.

Come to the shooting location.

Xu Wen approached the filming location of the crew unimpeded all the way.

When I was about to go in, I saw a group of people talking together in a side alley.

Surrounded in the middle is a middle-aged man, surrounded by many young girls dressed in fashion.

He looked like he was only in his teens, with the childishness of a student on his face.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was talking to a group of little girls like a salesman.

Every time he said a few words, a layer of excitement appeared on the faces of the little girls.

There was an endless stream of chattering.

Xu Wen stopped because he knew this middle-aged man.

There are many people involved in the crew of "Langya Bang", so besides him as the official director, there are three or four assistant directors.

One of them was responsible for controlling the shooting for Xu Wen when he went out to participate in the show, and then passed the filmed film to Xu Wen that night for Xu Wen to check.

One is Zhang Min's cousin, who is responsible for the preparation of various affairs of the crew in the early stage, as well as the management during the filming process.

And the last one is the assistant director.

Responsible for managing group performances and logistics.

Xu Wen still remembers that the assistant director was not a member of his own team at first.

It was Zhang Min's cousin who recruited them.

Generally speaking, if you want a lot of group performances, you need to contact the finalization of the shooting location.

Basically, it is not done by the team members.

In Hengdian, there are special people who are familiar with this area.

Therefore, the film crews who are filming here will hire a local person as an assistant director after arriving here.

Come to help the crew contact the group performers, customize lunch boxes, and finalize the shooting location.

And this role is basically the responsibility of the group leader.

The group head is the leader of the group performance.

This is a common name.

The group leader usually organizes several WeChat groups, and if the group actors want to film, they can just accept the scene in the WeChat group.

The group leader charges a certain intermediary fee.

And if the crew wants to perform in a group, they can also contact the group leader.

It is equivalent to the intermediary of house sale.

The person responsible for contacting sellers and buyers.

He is not in the crew, why is he hiding here whispering with a group of little girls?
Xu Wen was puzzled when he saw this scene.

He turned to tell the assistant next to him.

"Go and find out for me what he said to those little girls."

When he went to participate in the show, Zhang Min arranged for him several young people as assistants.

After all, it can be regarded as a bit famous, so it is impossible to arrange everything by yourself.

It's just that Xu Wen's memory of names has always been relatively poor, and he has never been able to remember the names of the assistants around him.

Hearing Xu Wen's words, the assistant nodded and walked slowly towards the alley.

This assistant is new, and Xu Wen is not worried that the assistant director will find out.

After explaining, Xu Wencai walked into the crew.

At this time, the crew is filming scenes in the palace.

This scene tells the story of the emperor arranging a martial arts contest to recruit relatives in order to take away the military power of Princess Nihuang.

In this competition to recruit relatives, most of the characters are basically there.

When Xu Wen arrived, he happened to see two martial arts instructors hired by the crew fighting on the stage.

A martial arts scene like this only needs one scene.

The martial arts directors were too lazy to teach the group of performers how to do gestures.

Go straight up and play a game by yourself.

Also acted as a group performance.

"Good! Well played!"

"Great! It's a great fight!"

The group performers around shouted hard.

The acting skills are very exaggerated, Xu Wen shook his head and smiled wryly, and he didn't have time to worry about them one by one.

When they came to the monitor, several staff saw Xu Wen and hurriedly moved away from their seats.

"Oh! Director Xu is here!"

"Mr. Xu, why don't you tell me in advance, so that I can send someone to pick you up."

Seeing Xu Wen and the others were surprised and delighted.

They knew that Xu Wen had finished filming the show and was coming to Hengdian to continue filming.

But I don't know when Xu Wen will come.

They didn't expect Xu Wen to make a surprise attack at all, so they were a little caught off guard.

Xu Wen smiled and waved his hands.

"I arrived sooner than I expected, so I didn't notify you guys. You guys finish filming this scene first."

At this moment, halfway through the filming, Xu Wen didn't want to interrupt.

I just called Zhang Min's cousin over to talk to him about the scenes that have been filmed in the past few days and what will be filmed next.

After the shooting ended, Liu Changge walked over immediately.

"Oh! Director Xu! You are back."

"Looking at you, you don't seem to welcome me back very much."

Xu Wen joked about Liu Changge.

Liu Changge gave Xu Wen an angry look.

"Director Xu, what did you say! How could I not welcome you, I miss you the most."

"Director Xu, I can testify that Mr. Liu has been very happy since you left."

The actor playing Prince Jing immediately raised his hand.

Liu Changge was surprised.

"Hey! You kid! You ate my barbecue last night, so betray me today! See if I don't kill you!"

"I beg forgiveness I beg forgiveness."

The actor playing Prince Jing hurriedly signaled surrender with both hands.

The people around me laughed again and again.

After more than a month of filming, the actors of the crew have established a strong relationship.

It is also common to laugh and fight at ordinary times.

This is also the status quo of actors.

Humans are social animals. When you stay with a group of people in one place for a long time, your relationship will become deeper.

And this feeling will gradually fade away with the end of the shooting.

The scandals between male and female stars are also spread in this way.

Although I don't know if Liu Changge will still have a good time with these actors after the filming is over.

But at least they are now good friends.

"Okay, okay, even if you don't want to see me, you still have to see me later. After the recording of my show, I will be in charge of the camera."

Xu Wen looked at Liu Changge and smiled.

Liu Changge also cooperated very well in making a face-crossing appearance.

"Ah! I hope there will be a show right now to transfer you, Director Xu."

"Hahahaha, you kid finally said what's on your mind."

Xu Wen pointed at Liu Changge and smiled.

In fact, Xu Wen can understand why Liu Changge said that.

That's because Xu Wen was meticulous when shooting.

He attaches great importance to all the shots, and likes to think about different shooting methods.

Basically, for the same scene, each actor has to shoot several times in front of the camera, or even dozens of times, before he can pass the test.

Although this shooting method is a kind of acting training for the actors, it is also an invisible torture.

The unknown actors are fine, they are already quite able to adapt to this kind of multiple shooting.

But for a popular actor like Liu Changge, he doubts life.

After all, in the previous crew, he basically passed the filming once, or twice.

I have never encountered a situation where I have to take another shot after seven or eight consecutive shots like this.

But Liu Changge was willing, so Xu Wen was able to shoot so many times.

For the scripts and characters he likes, Liu Changge is willing to spend time polishing them.

Otherwise, he doesn't have so much time to shoot over and over again.

The rest time here is relatively long, because I have to move to the battlefield to shoot inside the palace.

The next scene was shot in which Princess Nihuang was drugged and then rescued by Prince Jing, and then a group of people went to the palace to confront the emperor.

So the staff at the scene are packing up their things and preparing to go to the palace.

Taking advantage of this time, Liu Changge and the others chatted with Xu Wen.

The questions asked are nothing more than related to the program.

After learning that the students brought out by Xu Wen had won No.1, Liu Changge immediately said that he was going to have a barbecue to celebrate in the evening.

The manager on the side immediately cast a look.

Liu Changge lowered his raised hands again.

Then the agent came to Xu Wen's side helplessly.

"I'm sorry, Director Xu is not that I don't let Chang Ge eat barbecue, but that he has gained weight recently, and his figure needs to be managed."

Regarding this point, Xu Wen was also embarrassed to speak out to help Liu Changge.

The body management of actors is very important.

Although acting is important, so is appearance.

So Xu Wen could only express his understanding, and then turned a blind eye to Liu Changge's look for help.

At this time, Liu Changge's manager said with a smile.

But when they can go to barbecue at night, let Liu Changge accompany them.

They drank and ate barbecue, and Liu Changge sat aside and watched.

Facing this proposal, Liu Changge felt surprisingly angry.

Just don't let me eat it!
Let me be your companion!

This is killing people and punishing them!

But Liu Changge's anger was useless, because everyone at the scene was in favor.

Liu Changge scolded them for being impersonal.

But it is still unavoidable to eat barbecue at night, so I can only watch the fact.

At this moment, the assistant whom Xu Wen had previously assigned hurriedly came to Xu Wen's side.

Whispering a few words in Xu Wen's ear, Xu Wen's expression suddenly changed.

Xu Wen turned to look at his assistant.

"Really?"

The assistant nodded.

Xu Wen pondered, pulled his assistant aside, and explained a few words.

Then he walked back as if nothing had happened.

When the people around saw this scene, no one asked any more questions.

Like them, they occasionally need to avoid the crowd, let alone a great director like Xu Wen.

Not long after, the assistant director came over to inform everyone that the palace was ready and ready to shoot the next scene.

Hearing this, Xu Wen led a group of actors towards the palace.

When we came to the palace, we took a short rest and started shooting.

Although Xu Wenhe had been away from the crew for a week.

But I am still very sure about the shooting process of the entire crew.

As Xu Wen sat behind the monitor, he took the walkie-talkie and yelled "start shooting!"
All personnel have entered the state.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for Nihuang!"

"Prince! How can you do such a thing!"

It took time to shoot this scene because there were so many actors in the middle.

Everyone also has their own thoughts.

In this scene, Prince Jing was obviously the one who rescued Princess Nihuang.

But it was useless, even Prince Jing might have been punished if it wasn't for Nihuang's pleading.

It can be said that King Jing is the most aggrieved person in this scene.

Even many of the people around were gnashing their teeth.

After the filming ended, the first sentence the actor who played the prince came over was.

"I want to slap myself when I see it."

The old actor playing the role of the emperor smiled contemptuously.

"What are you, the moment I saw the script, I wanted to slap myself."

Xu Wen is very happy to see it.

After finishing the shooting of this scene, today's shooting task just stopped.

Without saying a word, Xu Wen brought a group of leading actors to gather at the barbecue stand.

At first, Liu Changge's manager was afraid of being recognized, so he found a room for Xu Wen and the others.

But Xu Wen waved his hand and said that these are unnecessary worries.

Because in this place, as long as there is a barbecue stall at night.

That's basically actors and stars all over the place.

Liu Changge's agent thought about it for a while and thought it was the same, so he simply stopped obsessing about finding a box.

On the contrary, I was happy to eat with a group of staff.

He completely forgot that Liu Changge could only watch them eat, but couldn't move his mouth.

On the whole dinner table, Liu Changge's eyes were the most resentful.
