Chapter 3 The importance of winning at the starting line

People with a heart will live up to it.

As soon as Jiang Liu showed off his power, he succeeded in making Wang Gang think that Jiang Liu had an unknown relationship with the crew's chief director Dunn.

Wang Gang didn't want to offend the chief director over such a trivial matter, so he had no choice but to let Jiang Liu and Yan Liang join the team.

After receiving the notice of signing the contract, Yan Liang jumped three feet high, while Jiang Liu's reaction was mediocre.

All the crew of "Sedan" can offer them is some work experience and remuneration.

Jiang Liu has never lacked work experience in the film and television industry, but what he lacks is money.

He returned to the old path in the film and television industry, but it was the path he was most familiar with and the easiest to earn his first pot of gold.

"This is your crew contract. Take a look at it for yourself. If you have no problem, sign it." In the room, Wang Gang placed the two contracts in front of Jiang Liu and the others.

Jiang Liu picked up the contract and took a look. The contract stated that Jiang Liu would join the crew of "Sedan" as a temporary worker and serve as the director's assistant.

薪酬1500元一个月，包吃包住，截止日期为7月1号，从2月1号算起共5个月时间。

In addition to salary, the contract also explained Jiang Liu's main work on the crew.

As a director's assistant, Jiang Liu is mainly responsible for 11 tasks:
[-]: Familiarize yourself with the crew and assist the assistant director in managing extras.

Two: According to the director's requirements, guide the actors to follow the director's requirements.

Three: Maintain the order of the shooting scene.

Four: Record and ensure the arrival time of actors and staff.

Five: Pick up and drop off actors.

six:
In short, from Jiang Liuli's first day on set, everything about eating, drinking, and having sex on the set of "Sedan" was related to him. He had to cooperate with the director and assistant director to take care of every corner of the set.

The chief director is in charge of filming, and Jiang Liu is secretly the assistant director Wang Gang's follower.

After signing the contract with a stroke of his pen, Wang Gang sent Yan Liang to the film crew, and he took Jiang Liu to see Deng En.

Seeing Jiang Liu, who had a very bad impression, Deng En showed surprise and probing eyes. Wang Gang thought Deng En was making a show and nodded solemnly.

Wang Gang's solemnity was privately thought by Dunn to be a secret deal, so he could only laugh it off.

The mutual suspicion between the director and assistant director allowed Jiang Liu to successfully overcome the danger.

After leaving Director Deng's office, Wang Gang gave Jiang Liu an address and said, "During this period before and after New Year's Eve, please contact Ruhua Ceramics Factory. The crew has ordered a hundred ceramic dishes and other props. The factory must have it ready on March 3 Have the goods ready before the date.”

After Jiang Liu nodded in agreement, he asked, "Director Wang, will the crew have a holiday during the Spring Festival?"

"Let's go. There will be an official holiday on the 4th. All the staff will join the team on the 11th. The official shooting date has not yet been determined. It should be in March. The holiday will not delay the work. Don't forget to supervise the ceramic factory."

"Well, let me first wish Director Wang a happy Spring Festival in advance."

"Take your classmates, ID card, and one-inch photo to the finance office to get a crew ID card, and then get busy."

After saying goodbye to Wang Gang, Jiang Liu approached Yan Liang who was already applying for a badge.

Not long after, the two of them left the hotel and returned to the hotel to pack and move.

During a casual chat on the road, Jiang Liu learned that Yan Liang would serve as the photography assistant of the photography team 2. His main job was to carry the camera and install the crane arm.

Yan Liang is not depressed either. Photography is an artistic activity and fame only lasts for a moment. There is no need to pursue temporary gains and losses too much.

Jiang Liu sneered. Yan Liang had been excluded from the film and television industry in his previous life. At least his parents had a strong foundation and opened a wedding photo studio for him in his hometown of Shaanxi Province.

Yan Liang is big and has a sense of justice in his character. He likes to protect the weak and is overflowing with love. He is really not suitable for the entertainment industry.

The two were chatting about the crew of "Sedan" when a bus whizzed by, followed closely by private cars and "Charade" taxis. The co-pilots of some cars even held out their palm treasures and pointed them at them. The bus in front.

Yan Liang looked at the rare palm treasure and said in surprise: "You don't want to die. Is this it?"

"What is this? Look."

Jiang Liu pointed at a Santana that was about to run parallel to the bus. From Santana's passenger seat, a head and hands poked out of the car and unfolded a piece of paper or something toward the bus.Yan Liang was extremely curious: "What is this for?"

"The devil knows." Jiang Liu smiled slightly and changed his direction to meet a newspaper stop not far away: "Here is a local newspaper in the capital."

After receiving a copy of the Peking Morning News, Jiang Liu stood on the road and opened it in the cold wind. A large photo that took up nearly half of the paper came into view.

"Beiping Morning News"

[Korean Wave is coming, the popular Korean boy group HOT enters Peking City! ! ! 】

[On the morning of January 1, the members of the Korean HOT group boarded the plane from Incheon Airport in South Korea and landed in Peking at 31 o'clock. They were waiting outside the airport]

[The popular Korean group HOT will hold their first concert in China on February 2 at the Capital Workers Stadium]

After quickly browsing the information about HOT's concert, Jiang Liu unconsciously licked his dry lips. He came to the capital for two purposes. One was to interview the crew.

Two: Prepare to make a small fortune.

This small fortune refers to the HOT concert.

There is probably no one in the world who knows better than him that HOT's concert will become a hit in China.

Jiang Liu doesn't like Korea. Apart from watching some Korean movies, he has no interest in Korea.

He knew that the HOT Workers Stadium concert was a hit and sold out all because his first girlfriend talked about it enthusiastically.

In her words, at that time even scalpers, organizers, and even South Korea's SM company, the company where HOT worked, believed that HOT was not famous in China, and the first concert would be considered a success if it sold a few thousand tickets.

Under such circumstances, countless boys and girls in the capital, and even some young people from neighboring cities and provinces, poured into the capital and into the Workers' Stadium. The concert was an unexpected blockbuster.

She herself also bought a regular ticket from someone else at three times the price because of hindsight.

After the concert, local media in the capital dubbed the phenomenon the Korean Wave.

The Capital Workers Stadium, where the concert was held, also broke the attendance record since its establishment.

Jiang Liu is not interested in Hallyu or breaking gym records. He is very interested in making money.

"Want to make money?" Jiang Liu asked Yan Liang, pointing to the HOT picture in the newspaper.

After Yan Liang handed the cigarette to Jiang Liu and was rejected, he lit it and took a sip. He frowned and said, "Concert? Free tickets? Are you sure someone will watch a Korean concert that you don't understand?"

"I'm thinking it's up to you whether you want to bet or not. I have to call my family and ask for a loan."

While talking, Jiang Liu grabbed the public phone at the newsstand.

The call didn't get through the first time. Jiang Liu guessed that his parents hadn't come home from the market yet, so he waited for five minutes before calling again. The call was connected immediately.

"Is it Liu'er?"

"Mom, it's me."

Hearing her son's familiar accent, Jiang Liu's mother said happily: "Your dad is still stubborn with me, saying that he is not my son, but that the area code 010 is from the capital."

After many years, Jiang Liu once again heard his mother's incomparably clear and capable voice when she was young. Jiang Liu originally thought that he would be able to live in a clam and quietly shed a few drops of cat urine.

Jiang Liu didn't, he would no longer be a sentimental person on the surface.

Knowing that her son had joined the crew as an intern and could not go home to celebrate the New Year, Jiang Liu's mother was sad at first but still approved of her son's actions.

At the same time, I agreed to put all the 8000 yuan for my son's summer tuition and living expenses into my bankbook during the afternoon bank opening.

Jiang Liu didn't pretentiously talk about how to make good use of the money and repay his parents in the future. What he wanted to do was to make good use of the money that his parents had taken out with difficulty and let it expand indefinitely.

Jiang Liu spent 10 minutes asking for 8000 yuan from his family. It was Yan Liang's turn, and it only took him 1 minute to get 1 yuan from his family.

Jiang Liu couldn't help but sigh, how important it is to win at the starting line!
