20 Big Scenes, Big Productions, Big Liars?

Shen Changwen walked into the coffee shop, looked around, and saw a table inside, a woman stood up and said hello to herself: "Professor Shen? Here."

When Shen Changwen walked over, he realized that the other party was a woman, and she was not bad. No wonder when Chen She called him, he hinted that he was in his youth—this little brat.

"Is it Miss Dong?" Shen Changwen shook hands with the other party.

"Yes, Dong Yuan, you can call me Xiao Dong. What kind of coffee does Professor Shen like?"

"Black coffee," Shen Changwen called the waiter, "Do you have anything to eat?"

"Freshly made cakes and cookies, and freshly made sandwiches and burgers."

"Come on two sandwiches, put more meat," Shen Changwen smiled at Dong Yuan again, "I'm sorry, I've been busy all morning and didn't even bother to eat." Wu Xiaoqing had just left, and many things that were originally entrusted to him Shen Changwen had to do the chores by himself. After all, he was almost 50 years old, and he obviously didn't have enough energy to do these things. After running back and forth on the boat twice, his stomach was empty.

"It's okay, you can do whatever you want."

While speaking, Shen Changwen took out another small notebook. It was some design requirements that he had thought of in the taxi that came. He carefully reviewed some of the points he had recorded, and after sorting out his thoughts, he spoke to Dong Yuan. Said: "Then I will cut to the chase. I have no experience in engineering design. If there is any problem with what I said, feel free to mention it."

Dong Yuan nodded generously: "You are Party A, just ask."

"I don't know if Chen She has introduced it to you. In this way, I will start from the beginning. First of all, this is a project that is required to be realized in the movie, but it is not the kind of set, but a real scene that can be used. Because it is the content of the movie , so in terms of engineering, it must be considered in line with the basic settings of the movie.”

Dong Yuan listened very carefully, without expressing any doubt, Shen Changwen continued: "The content of this movie is like this, um, two earthlings travel to primitive society, and then help a group of primitive people survive the flood there. This project is used as a disaster relief center. The director has three requirements for this project. The first is simple. In the film, this project should be a simple project that can be built by two people. This is very important and must be guaranteed. It may also be necessary to shoot shots of the two of them working; second, it can cover ordinary wind and rain, and has a certain heat preservation capacity; third, it must have an isolation function."

Dong Yuan was recording audio with her mobile phone, and seeing that Shen Changwen didn't continue, she asked, "That's all?"

"that is all."

"Then let me ask a few questions."

"Okay." At this time, Shen Changwen's sandwiches were also delivered, and he listened while eating.

"The project you are talking about is not limited to construction. I mean, is a simple house like a steel plate house acceptable?"

"Yes, no problem, as long as it can accommodate people, even a thatched house is fine."

"How many people will live in total?"

Shen Changwen thought for a long time, and said, "For the time being, let's count on the scale of 5000 people."

Dong Yuan couldn't help laughing: "This is just filming, Professor Shen, you don't really need to count the number of people. To be honest, a simple house with two to 300 people seems to be very large. A house with four to 5000 people only Let two people do it, even if it is the simplest prefab house, it will take at least half a year to a year."

Shen Changwen thought about it carefully, then shook his head again: "No, no, this film director likes to shoot big scenes. Four to five thousand people are definitely needed, and maybe there will be more at that time."

"How long will it be for these two?"

"About a week to half a month."

Dong Yuan laughed again: "Didn't your screenwriters consider the rationality when designing the plot? Of course, movies are not so strict now. If you really want two people to figure it out in half a month, give it to 5000 people. Where people live, the only possible way is to set up a tent, which is the kind of big military tent, the kind that can fit hundreds of people in one, and this requires two very skilled veterans."

Shen Changwen can't say that this sb screenwriter is himself.It's really like this.Shen Changwen originally thought that it would be easy to find two people to build a house like building blocks, but now that Dong Yuan mentions it, this kind of thinking is indeed a little naive.5000 people, it doesn't sound like much, but they are all pulled out to do morning exercises, which can cover several football fields densely.

Shen Changwen thought for a while and asked, "Is the tent more expensive than a simple house?"

Dong Yuan gently stirred the coffee spoon: "It's not a question of being higher. Let's put it this way, the per capita living cost of a tent is at least 40 yuan, which is the lowest. This is the bottom line for manufacturers to basically not make money. According to you Calculated for 5000 people, this is 25 yuan. If it is the market price, it will cost at least 50 yuan. If all 50 yuan is used to buy steel plates to make simple houses, it can accommodate 10,000+ people.”

"That's okay, this movie is not bad for money."

Dong Yuan shook her head: "It's not just about money. If you only have two people, you won't have the time to set up the cheapest tent. What you can buy is the simplest tourist tent. It's okay if there are only one or two. , You have to live here with 5000 people. These tents are piled up together. Whenever it rains, water will enter, and as long as it is windy, it will be blown away, not to mention 5000 people eating and drinking inside... Of course, this is Movies, there won’t be so many people. But with so many tents, I’m afraid it’s not easy for you to manage.”

What Dong Yuan said was very reasonable. The management problem was indeed... If all the barbarians were on the boat or in a big cave, it would be easy, since they were all concentrated under the nose anyway.But when the time comes, they will be divided among hundreds of tents, just by the three of them... Just imagining the scene of feces and urine everywhere makes Shen Changwen feel terrible.

"I have an idea," Dong Yuan said, "Anyway, the ones in your movies are also primitive people. Don't pay attention to the conditions, and don't think about building a house or a tent. Just use the money to rent an excavator." , Dig a row of long pits directly on the ground, and make entrances on both sides, and people live in the pits. After digging, cover the top with steel plates, and this is a ready-made nest.”

"This...if it rains, it will be troublesome."

"Are you making a movie? Why are you so strict?" Dong Yuan explained again, "Even if there is a scene where it rains, it's fine. You dig the nest in a high-lying place, and pay attention to leaving a few drains at the end. Ditch, to ensure that there will be no stagnant water."

"How to solve the problem of keeping warm? The setting in the movie is quite cold."

Dong Yuan asked strangely: "Anyway, you make movies, don't you? Primitive people are afraid of the cold, aren't they all shirtless and wearing animal skins?"

"The director has high requirements, this is a big production, and these issues must be taken into consideration."

Dong Yuan became curious: "Which big director? Is it domestic?"

Shen Changwen hissed: "Temporary secret."

"If you really want to be so particular, it's not difficult. Pay attention when digging the pit. Dig an extra deep groove as a flue, and finally lay a steel pipe in it, and set up a kang outside. It will be like a radiator at that time."

"As I said before, you can come up with a picture, and then we will ask the workers to follow suit."

Dong Yuan was a little embarrassed: "This is not considered a design at all. I don't need to draw a picture. I will just draw a schematic diagram for you, and everyone who constructs it will understand. At most, I will charge you a little consulting fee. If it is considered a design, I will be dismissed." Chen She died laughing."

"It's all right," Shen Changwen insisted, "Just follow the price we said before, and you will produce the picture."

Then he lowered his voice a little and added: "It's all the investor's money, so there's no need for Miss Dong to be polite."

Dong Yuan no longer refused: "Okay, wait for your specific venue information to me, and I can give it to you in two days at the latest."

"Okay, then it's settled," Shen Changwen had almost finished eating, "If you have any questions, send me a message, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Shen Changwen left the cafe, turned around and walked into a bathroom not far from the street. Originally, he had made an appointment with Shi Qiang at a restaurant, but because he chatted with Dong Yuan for a long time, Shi Qiang was a little impatient. I went to the bathroom to take a bath.Just after the Spring Festival, it is still very cold, and many southerners have the habit of taking a bath.

Shen Changwen originally planned to wait at the door, but as soon as he walked in, he saw two burly men greet him: "Shen Changwen, brother Qiang asked us to wait for you here."

Follow the two of them all the way to the bathing center, and finally arrived at a private room. There was a naked man lying on the bed smoking a cigarette. Shen Changwen looked at him and asked suspiciously, "Shi Qiang?"

The other party seemed to have no intention of avoiding him at all, just glanced at him, and blew out a big smoke circle: "Yes, it's me, how much do you want to borrow?"

"What?" Shen Changwen didn't realize it for a moment.

"Borrowing for the first time? I don't know the rules," Shi Qiang casually took out a briefcase from the side, and shook out several dollars of RMB, as well as paper and pens inside, "write the IOU first, and decide how much you want to borrow. Get [-]% off, One-third of a month, half a year, understand?"

Only then did Shen Changwen realize that the person on the other side must have misunderstood, and he didn't make it clear on the phone: "You made a mistake, I'm not here to borrow money."

"Why do you ask me if you don't borrow money?" Shi Qiang frowned and said, "And let me wait for you for more than an hour."

"Wu Xiaoqing, do you remember? You left him your business card, saying that you have a lot of connections here." Shen Changwen tactfully sized him up.

"Oh, remember, Wu Xiaoqing...you are?"

"I was the one who introduced Wu Xiaoqing's business in the university." After asking Wu Xiaoqing what was going on, Shen Changwen said right away, "I'm a little troublesome, so I need to ask Mr. Shi for help."

"It's easy to talk about." Shi Qiang hurriedly put on his underwear first, then poured tea for Shen Changwen, and then signaled his subordinates to go aside.

After the two of them were left in the room, Shi Qiang offered Shen Changwen a cigarette again, but Shen Changwen waved his hand and refused, and then said directly: "I have a project in hand, and I need to find two workers to work on it."

"Project? Two?" When Shi Qiang heard about the project, his face was happy, but after hearing two, he couldn't hide his disappointment.The emotional transition was so fast that the muscles on his face twisted a little.

"Yes, only two, but my request is a bit special, so I came to ask you guys." Shen Changwen saw that the other party was a little dissatisfied, and immediately gave reassurance, "If it works, I can pay [-] yuan for one person's introduction fee." .”

2 yuan is paid to poach a person. This salary is almost the salary of a headhunter poaching a middle-level person. Hearing this figure, Shi Qiang immediately lifted his spirits: "What do you ask for?"

"There must be a lot of people here who owe you a lot of debts that you can't pay back."

Shi Qiang chuckled: "It's the same in this line of work, but boss, don't worry, the one I introduced to you is definitely not..."

"No, that's what I want," Shen Changwen emphasized, knocking on the table, "Those who owe a whole lot of debt, those who have a lot of trouble in your hands, those who have wives and children at home, those who are honest, and those who want to pay off their debts, will Those who drive excavators... wait, let me think about it, it is better to be illiterate, the lower the education, the better, just such a person, do you have any?"

Shi Qiang was almost in tears when he was told by this string of words—there are still such caring customers in this world. All the characteristics of the characters he listed, except for the first one, are basically the selection of personnel when their company lends money. The gold standard, and this requirement is almost all met quickly after these people become their customers.

Shi Qiang held Shen Changwen's hand tightly, trembling with excitement: "The most important thing our company lacks is this number of people. Tell me, when you need someone, I will give you a call and I will guarantee that they will report to you within 30 minutes. .”
