They all say I'm a good wife

Chapter 117 I Don't Change a Word (1)

Qiu Ming hailed a car, spent 20 yuan, and rushed back to the filming location of the crew.

There are very few taxis in this place, and online car-hailing services are hard to find. The car that Qiu Ming stopped randomly on the side of the road was a black car.

The driver who drove the car was very talkative. As soon as Qiu Ming got in the car, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation, such as "What do you do, young man", "The place you are going to is a filming location, you are the crew Is there a person in the film?", "Which crew?" and so on.

Qiu Ming said what should be said, never said more than what should not be said, and chatted with the driver brother without saying a word.

When the driver heard that Qiu Ming was a member of the crew of "I Want to Take You on a Trip", he was actually excited. While holding the steering wheel with one hand, he reached out and took out a business card from the side, and handed it to Qiu Ming.

"Handsome guy, help me out, see if your crew has any suitable plays for me, call me anytime."

While talking, the driver brother actually turned around and grinned coquettishly at Qiu Ming.

Then, the car also turned around, scaring Qiu Ming enough.

"You drive seriously, drive seriously..."

Qiu Ming hurriedly took the business card, in case the driver brother got into trouble with him.

The driver brother turned his head, straightened the steering wheel, and said with a smile: "It's okay, handsome guy, I drive very steadily, with the skills passed down from my ancestors, nothing will happen."

Qiu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at the business card, and blinked: "Feng Xiaotian... Tsk, brother, your name is quite powerful."

"Stage name, stage name... I'm laughing at you."

The driver brother scratched his nose with his hands, and explained: "The real name is Feng Gou, which is a bit unpleasant...so I asked the master to give me such a name."

Feng Gou, Feng Gou, Feng Gou...

mad dog? !
It is indeed a bit unpleasant.

Qiu Ming read it silently twice, realized the true meaning of the name, and understood in his heart that the driver's elder brother had a stage name.

The driver brother Feng Xiaotian began to sell himself on his own: "Little handsome guy, to tell you the truth, driving is not my job. I usually only come out to drive when I have nothing to do. My job is actually He's an actor, um, with a certificate, a third-level actor registered with the local actors' union... Seriously, if your crew really needs someone, you can find me. You can live well, endure hardships, and the price is cheap..."

Qiu Ming couldn't help but rolled his eyes, just now you were talking about your ancestral driving skills, how did you become an actor in the blink of an eye?

After the big brother of the driver talked about the introduction, Qiu Ming said: "I am just an ordinary errand runner in the crew. I don't have much say in things arranged by actors like this, so I probably can't help much."

The driver brother was not disappointed when he heard the words, he just smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, we met today and we are friends. Casting a wide net means that you don't have to have any psychological burden."

After a slight pause, he patted his chest vigorously and said, "So, handsome boy, today I'm just pulling you for nothing, and I don't need to pay you."

"How embarrassing..."

Qiu Ming is not a person who likes to take advantage, because his grandfather told him not to take free things since he was a child.

"It's okay, handsome boy, you don't have to be polite... Well, yes, I don't know what your name is?"

The driver brother was enthusiastic, and the car seemed to go much more briskly.

Qiu Ming thought about it and said his name.

"Qiu Ming, good name, this name is good, the future is bright, not bad!"

The driver brother is a chatterer, a mild social bull, and he speaks good words casually, without any delay.

Qiu Ming didn't correct him either. After chatting for a while, the car arrived at the destination. He threw 20 yuan to the driver brother, opened the door and got off the car.

When Qiu Ming entered the door, he just met Hu Di and the director of the theater staff coming out. As soon as they saw Qiu Ming, they dragged him away and said as they walked, "Quick, help me quickly, the prop company is calling." , there are two pieces of equipment that can’t come temporarily, and Director Guo is waiting to use them, tsk, it’s really tossing me.”

Qiu Ming had no choice but to follow Hu Di and the director of the show and left in a hurry.

On the street, the driver brother didn't leave immediately, just in time to see Hu Di and Qiu Ming talking and leaving.

After observing the intimacy between Hu Di and Qiu Ming for a while, when they walked away, the driver brother looked down at the money Qiu Ming left behind, and couldn't help but whisper to himself: "He's a fastidious person."

After speaking, he stuffed the money into his pocket before driving away.

……

Most of the props of the crew are rented, and now they pay attention to cost control, and the so-called building a city for a scene in the past has long since disappeared.

Moreover, some photographic equipment is not just a camera as understood by ordinary people, but also includes a lighting group and a mobile group, etc. The maintenance, repair, installation, and disassembly of these things are technical tasks.

To be more honest, the type of each screw on the machine is different. How and where each wire should be inserted is particular. If a part is broken, what can be used as a spare or a replacement? it's all about
If it weren't for the equipment company's special follow-up crew, lighting crew, and artillery crew, no one on the crew would be able to handle these things.

If one is not careful, the equipment has an accident, and the entire crew will be shut down. This is definitely not what the producers and investors want to see.

The current situation of the props market is that those professional talents are people who have been cultivated by the props company for many years.

Some production crews are indeed rich, but money can only buy equipment, but not such a master.

Therefore, it is necessary for every crew to find a trustworthy prop company to rent equipment.

The prop company that the crew of "I Want to Take You on a Trip" looked for was a relatively large company, among the large and small prop companies in the film and television city, it was considered to be second to none.

However, although big companies are good, they are not completely free from problems.

Just like this time, the company's business is too busy, and the equipment that was rented out before was not recovered in time, so that when the crew of "I Want to Take You on a Trip" agreed to use it, they were unable to deliver it.

Hu Di was in charge of this area, so he had no choice but to come to the door to urge him.

"Today we must have this Dolly car in our play, and now you suddenly say no, what should we do?
Now the whole crew is waiting for you, why don't you give me an explanation?

Also, what is going on with these lights? It was agreed that 6 [-]K headlights will come, but now you will cut it in half and only give me ten. How do I use it?
You are such a big company, you can't do things so unreliably, can't you give me a precise explanation?

What's the point of procrastinating..."

Hu Di was very excited, this kind of thing hit him on the head suddenly, it was enough for him to drink a pot.

Even if I can't shoot today, it's still temporary, just delay it.

The problem is that the prop company said that tomorrow may not work the day after tomorrow, which is very annoying.

The whole crew can't just stop and wait for the equipment from the prop company. People eat horse chews every day, and it's all money.

So Hu Di can only compete with the prop company, anyway, they have a reason, and a fight may allow the prop company to find a way to solve it.

"We really have no choice, Director Hu, can you wait for two days? It really only takes two days. Once Dolly's car and headlights are back, we will notify you immediately, how about it?"

The people in the prop company are also very embarrassed. Recently, there are more crews in the nearby film and television city, and a lot of equipment has been rented out, and the supply is in short supply.

Moreover, the situation of each crew is different, and the equipment was not returned in time after it went out, causing them to be devastated.

The two sides just kept talking, and things didn't make any progress.

Qiu Ming listened, recalling the filming plan he had revised before. There are indeed a few important scenes this week, which will be filmed on location.

The warming up of the relationship between the male and female protagonists and the final determination of the relationship depend entirely on this scene.

In this kind of youth emotional urban drama, this kind of drama is the highlight.

If it’s filmed well, the show will be good-looking, but if it’s not filmed well, it’s a hot show. It can really be said that it’s the difference between “one thought of heaven and one thought of hell”.

Therefore, according to the requirements of the shooting plan, the crew needs to prepare a lot of lights in advance, and also have a DOLLY car to follow several shots, all of which are indispensable.

Now there are no Dolly cars, and there are not enough headlights. Basically, these scenes cannot be filmed at all.

Hearing the sound of Hu Di and the people from the prop company arguing with each other, Qiu Ming naturally thought: I wonder if these things can be replaced?

At this moment, the system prompt came out again, asking him if he wanted to use the plan modification.

Qiu Ming was taken aback for a moment, can plan modification be used in this situation?

But after he hesitated, he quickly chose to refuse to use it.

Just kidding, although he had a few "plan revisions" in his hands during this period of time, since the "60 song" incident, he has had a deep personal experience of the value of system props.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to waste a "plan modification" here.

However, because the idea of ​​"replacement" was activated by the system prompt, he had an idea, played the whistle, and asked: "Brother Hu, they don't have the DOLLY car and 6K headlights now, so can you find other things to replace them?" , let us use it for two days first, after these two days have passed and their equipment has returned, then notify us to replace it."

Hu Di thought for a while, and felt that Qiu Ming's words made sense, so he directly asked the people from the prop company.

In fact, it was mainly because of Qiu Ming's "amazing" performance during this period, so Hu Di attached great importance to Qiu Ming's opinion. Just ask someone from the prop company.

The person from the props company hesitated for a moment and said, "We really don't have the Dolly car you originally ordered, but there is a bigger one, I don't know if you can use it, and the price is much more expensive. In addition, we really don't have 6K headlights. You have already taken 9 headlights before. Adding these ten, I think it is enough to make do... Well, but if you really want, [-]K headlights We still have twenty, I don’t know if you can use them.”

Hu Di was startled when he heard the words, and began to think.

There are no 6K headlights, and it seems that it is not impossible to replace them with 9K ones. I don’t know what the director thinks.

As for the DOLLY car, I have to go back and discuss it with the producer. After all, I suddenly need to change to a more expensive one, which means spending more money. The producer agrees.

The matter is still not resolved, but there is a solution, Hu Di can at least go back to work.

After turning his mind around quickly, he said to the props company: "Take me in quickly to look at the things. I have to go back and ask to make a decision. If possible, I will call you later."

The people from the props company didn't care, the things were all in the warehouse, they went ahead to lead the way, and led Hu Di to look at the goods.

When Hu Di walked in, he couldn't help but patted Qiu Ming on the shoulder, and boasted, "You're the one with the brain."

Qiu Ming smiled, but said nothing.

It's not that he's brainy, it's that he doesn't care about money.

Hu Di's thinking mode has been restricted by the words "cut, dig, search and search". All expenses in the crew are under control. As an assistant director, Hu Di will not think about adding money to change things, because This would get him into trouble, so he didn't even think about replacing it.

Qiu Ming's proposal was just to open up the restrictions for him a little bit.

Sure enough, after walking around the warehouse and knowing the replacement price, Hu Di fell silent.

This thing is expensive, and it seems very simple to replace it casually, but the cost is directly [-] to [-] more.

The people from the prop company are happy to see the success, after all, the business amount is huge again.

They told them that if the crew selected these replacement equipment, then in the afternoon, the prop company could send it to the crew.

And because it is not easy to move and install, if the original equipment comes back in two days, they will not replace it with the crew, and the money will be calculated according to the current equipment.

Hu Di shook his head helplessly, and could only lead the people back in a hurry. This matter must be reported as soon as possible, and every second counts.

I don’t know how Hu Di told the director team and the production team after that, but they quickly agreed to the replacement plan. In the afternoon, the people from the prop company delivered the equipment and installed it .

These had nothing to do with Qiu Ming. After Qiu Ming returned to the filming crew, he found that Xiao Ling had also returned.

Today the director has granted her permission to leave, and she really left, but Qiu Ming didn't expect to see her again, which surprised him.

However, because of the experience of being kicked out of the car before, Qiu Ming was not in a good mood for this guy. After glancing at him, he walked to the side and sat down to rest.

Ever since Qiu Ming appeared, Zuo Xiaoling had seen it, but she didn't stare at Qiu Ming blatantly, she just glanced secretly from time to time.

Seeing that Qiu Ming didn't look at her at all, he couldn't help curling his lips.

Immediately, she looked up at the little assistant beside her, and said softly, "Hurry up, bring him the milk tea."

The little assistant understood, quickly picked up a cup of milk tea, and walked towards Qiu Ming with small steps.

　Thank you "Do I still have a chance" for the reward of 20000. I found it too late today. I should add more. I will make it up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

　　Bow and salute, love you!
