Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 263, Antiques in Place

Wang Li knew that this was because the director was completely relieved and in order to get closer to Wang Li, he started talking like a friend.

Wang Li would of course agree with him, after all, he was working for someone else, he said: "Brother, you are really serious and responsible. Since you said so, I will also put it here. As long as I have it at home and the crew needs it, I can lend it to the crew. After all, I am also in the crew, there is nothing to worry about. But brother, I have a small request, I hope you will consider it."

When the director heard what Wang Li said, he thought he was trying to put forward some conditions, so he patted his chest and said: Brother, if you have any problems, just tell me, I will definitely help you if I can!
When Wang Li heard his words, he knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, so he said: Brother, actually I don’t have anything else to say, you can just borrow some things from me, but I hope to keep it low-key. Although it is impossible to completely prevent others from knowing that these things are borrowed from me, I hope to control the scope as much as possible.

When the director heard Wang Li's request, he was slightly stunned, then he showed an understanding expression and said: Don't worry, brother, I can still do this. Although we are just a crew, we still have to abide by the discipline of confidentiality. Don't worry, I will mention this matter at the meeting and tell others that I borrowed it personally from a friend.

But it would be better if you could send someone over to take care of the antiques. Although we will also send someone to look after them, it would be safer if you send someone over. Of course, the salary and benefits of the person you send over will be counted as part of our crew.

Wang Li said: It’s no problem to find someone to come, I’ll just find two people to come, as long as the crew provides office space and meals, you don’t have to worry about anything else.

The director immediately said: OK, brother, I’ll remember your favor, and I won’t say anything more to you. Let’s do another one.

On the second day after the antiques were confirmed, Wang Li did not report to the crew, but searched for antiques of that era in his home treasure house, and then moved them to the underground garage of the courtyard. Of course, he would not lend some top-quality antiques to the crew.

After a day of selection, Wang Li found nearly 1000 antiques that met the requirements, enough for the crew to decorate 20 rooms. Together with the antiques borrowed by the director himself, there were more than enough.

On the third day, Wang Li brought two unemployed apprentices chosen for him by Lai San, who had good character, to his basement garage. They helped pack the antiques into boxes and then loaded them onto the large truck Wang Li borrowed.

During this process, the two young men really broadened their horizons.

Although they didn't know the true value of these antiques, they were beautiful and there were so many of them. The three of them worked for most of the day before loading all these things into the car. They agreed with them that they would come back tomorrow and drive the car with him to transport the antiques to the filming location of the crew. They would stay there and manage these antiques.

Of course Wang Li would not let them work for nothing, although he had made it clear to the director that the crew would not have to pay for it when they had dinner. But after dinner, the director still said firmly: Brother, this is a public matter after all, and the shooting will take a long time, and you can't bear the cost. Listen to me, it will be borne by our crew.

In the end, Wang Li agreed with his opinion. Therefore, after the two people joined the crew, they would receive the crew's salary. Wang Li had found a job for them.

If they do a good job, or Wang Li is willing to speak for them, then they can work in the cultural department in the future, which can be regarded as a reward for these two people.

Of course, he would also give each of them a sum of money as a reward. After all, what they were watching was Wang Li's, and it would be a bit unreasonable for Wang Li not to pay.

Early that morning, Wang Li got into the car with the two young men. Of course, Wang Li drove the car himself. With his current strength and connections, it was easy for him to get a driver's license.

The journey went smoothly and Wang Li drove the car to the filming location. At this time, the director was already waiting for Wang Li in front of the filming location with several important members of the crew, who were also his confidants.

This was what the two of them had agreed on last night. The director would pick up these things at the gate, and Wang Li would go to the crew to work after a brief handover with him. The rest of the work would be done by the director's confidants, including the crew's production staff and antique identification experts, who would receive these antiques together.

After the inventory was completed, a formal agreement was signed with Wang Li. Of course, money should be paid for borrowing so many antiques, but Wang Li waved his hand and said that there was no need to pay and it should be regarded as support for the crew.

The main purpose of this agreement is to determine the ownership of these antiques, as well as their subsequent management and compensation after damage.
