My movie scares global audiences to tears

Chapter 6
It took Song Qi three days to write out the draft of the script, handed it over to Xiao Ran to set up the project and run the program, and then led Ma Baoluo to start working non-stop.

Before filming begins, there is a lot of prep work to do.

For example, according to the script, draw a draft of the shots, make a rough budget, find the shooting location, site survey, rent photography equipment, interview actors, hire professional staff in photography, lighting, art and other groups, hold script seminars, etc., And these things had to be done by Song Qi himself.

There is no way, the investment of 500 million, even if he has a system to handle the later stage, is still too little, he must ensure that the money is spent wisely.

Fortunately, there is Xiao Ma to help. Although this guy looks unreliable and doesn't have a good mouth, he has a wide network of contacts. He has taken care of everything about equipment, actors, and crew members. Song Qi has helped a lot. less busy.

Although Xiao Ran is a newcomer, he is smart and willing to learn, and the project approval process quickly ran down. He successfully applied for a shooting license, and the company's money was also approved and transferred to the public account card.

After a month of intense preparations, Song Qi finally pulled together a crew and boarded the flight to Pony's hometown - Queensland, Osburia.

More than half of the shots of "Great White Shark" are shot at sea, and the Gold Coast, one of the top ten beaches in the world, is in Queensland.

Xiao Ma has already come back early and made all the arrangements for the accommodation.

The crew has limited funds, so they can only live in the most common homestay, which saves a lot of money.

However, the staff didn't have any objections. They would have to run around with the crew, and sometimes they even had to sleep in the wilderness. At least there is a decent house here, which is already good.

After all, once the shooting starts, it is often busy day and night, and arranging a hotel is just a place for everyone to sleep and wash. After all, no one will stay in the hotel for a long time.

But Zhao Yi, the leading actor of the film crew, was extremely dissatisfied with the accommodation conditions. When he came to the B&B, he refused to get out of the car after seeing the environment.

"Brother Qi, that Zhao Yi has to change to a five-star hotel, otherwise he won't get off the bus!"

Song Qi was making plans for the next day's shooting and was planning to hold a meeting later, but Xiao Ma suddenly ran over to report the news.

Hearing this news, Song Qi's head was about to grow big.

The crew just arrived at the shooting location, and it was the busiest time, but the male lead acted like a monster. Do you think he is not busy enough?

Putting down the work at hand, Song Qi went directly to the car outside the hotel.

Sitting in the car was a tough man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, about 30 years old, playing with his mobile phone in the car.

Seeing Song Qi come in, the man looked up, nodded and greeted casually: "Director."

This man is the leading actor of the film crew, Zhao Yi, a professional actor with a third-level actor title, and is somewhat famous.

This world has strict qualification levels for film and television practitioners. From low to high, they are four levels, three levels, two levels, one levels, and special levels.

Including photographers, screenwriters, and actors, they are all divided according to this standard.

Among them, the fourth level is regarded as a practitioner who has officially entered the industry and is competent for the work in their respective industries.

The third level is a veteran with certain industry experience, who can take on projects independently and start to have a certain reputation.

Level [-] is an elite who can stand alone. He is quite famous in the industry, can make money, can win awards, and often appears in major media.

The first level is the top experts. For example, actors who have a box office of over [-] billion, screenwriters and directors whose works have won a box office of [-] billion, all belong to this level.

They are the darlings of the media, the darlings of the capital, and the leaders of the audience. Each of their works will attract widespread attention, and of course there will be no shortage of box office and awards.

As for the super class, it is a master who can create a genre, and there are not many in the world.

Song Qi is currently a third-level director, roughly equal in industry status to this Zhao Yi.

But in the film crew, the director is still the most authoritative. When Zhao Yi saw him, he didn't even lift his ass, which was somewhat disrespectful.

Song Qi sat directly opposite him, frowning and asked, "What's wrong? Xiaoma said you don't want to get out of the car?"

Sitting next to Zhao Yi was a chubby guy wearing glasses, who was his manager.

When the agent heard this, he said, "Director Song, isn't the environment here too messy? It feels like a slum. Our actors will get sick if they live in such a place. No matter what, we have to arrange a hotel! Otherwise, this We can't make a movie!"

Song Qi took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said seriously: "We have agreed in the contract that the accommodation environment depends on the local environment. This place is very close to the filming location, so you can sleep a little longer to ensure your rest time. It takes an hour to drive to the set, and then tidy up and put on makeup, so how much shooting time is left?"

"Then I don't care."

Zhao Yi said impatiently: "Anyway, I won't live in such a place. If you don't change it for me, then terminate the contract!"

Seeing his confident appearance, Song Qi narrowed his eyes.

He had interviewed this actor before. During the interview, Zhao Yi acted very polite and honest, but now he behaved so rascally, it can be seen that he was just pretending during the interview.

I have seen this kind of actor Song Qi a lot. When negotiating the contract, he can say anything. Once the filming starts, he temporarily imposes conditions.

To deal with such an actor, if he is rich enough, the best way is to terminate the contract directly, and then inform the whole industry, so that the peers should pay attention and use such people less.

But Song Qi didn't have the capital and connections at the moment, so it was really difficult to deal with Zhao Yi's rogue behavior.

Smiling slightly, Song Qi nodded and said, "Okay! I'll arrange a hotel for you."

After that, he turned around and got out of the car.

Xiao Ma waited outside the car, saw him coming down, and hurried up to greet him: "What do you say? Is he willing to come down?"

Shaking his head, Song Qi ordered: "Find him a hotel!"

"what?"

Xiao Ma was immediately annoyed: "Why should I find a hotel for him! Is he arrogant? When an actor joins the set, he must abide by the crew's arrangements. This is professionalism! He is shameless!"

"okay."

Song Qi patted him on the shoulder: "There's no need to waste your tongue with this kind of person. Filming is important. One day's delay will cost you an extra day. After the filming is over, there will be plenty of time to deal with him."

Hearing what he said, Xiao Ma had no choice but to give up, but still muttered angrily: "The nearest five-star hotel is at least an hour's drive away, and it costs 3000 yuan a night. The time of the entire crew, what is this called!"

Of course Song Qi also knew this, he sighed: "Filming is important! At most we can work hard and pick him up early in the morning."

Xiao Ma had no choice but to contact him, found the nearest five-star hotel, and sent Zhao Yi there.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yi came to the set on time and began to participate in the filming, but he was still serious.

Seeing this, Song Qi also heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as he doesn't act like a monster when filming, it doesn't affect the filming, so he can talk about anything.

However, Song Qi still overestimated his character, and after only three days, Zhao Yi started acting again.
