Chapter 598 (1/2)
Huo Zhiming's action of building a street specially for the film is obviously against Jiang SE's temperament. It seems that all the plants and trees, things and scenes in the story all appear vividly in front of him.
Jiang se almost ignored Huo Zhiming, Mo Anqi and director Huo's assistant. She was holding her hand in the pocket of her coat. It seemed that she was a little cold, but subconsciously, because her wish was about to be achieved, she showed a light smile.
If it wasn't for Huo Zhiming's mumbling:
”your pay is too high, otherwise the rest of the money can make this street more perfect.”
Part of the money put in by the investors went into the pockets of the two leading actresses, and the rest was deducted by Huo Zhiming.
When setting up a real-life street, he negotiates the project with others regardless of his dignity. He keeps an eye on the progress in the mud flying construction site every day, and keeps a close eye on the money to be spent every minute.
He has also repeatedly reduced the cost of food, drink and transportation expenses of the crew.
Even the hotel the crew stayed in did not choose a five-star hotel because of the fame of Jiang Se and Tao Cen. Instead, they chose an unknown Hotel nearest to the studio.
Because the hotel learned that the suspect was going to be filmed here, and was willing to give Huo Zhiming a discount.
The old man's ”buckle” is reflected in all aspects. The car that Jiangse used to take when he came here was also dilapidated, but he was willing to spend money on the grass and trees on the street.
At first glance, the signboard of the hotel is designed to pay a high price, specially let people make such a semi old and new appearance, every scene has made great efforts.
He complains that Tao Cen and Jiang se are too expensive, and his assistant looks embarrassed. He is afraid that Huo Zhiming's temper and character will make Jiang se angry.
The investors are willing to pay, not for the film itself, nor for the story of the ”criminal suspect”, but for the fame and box office appeal of Jiang Se and Tao Cen.
What's more, the biggest Chinese film company has a lot to do with Jiang se. When he invested in the film ”Xianyuan”, it is said that Jiang SE's remuneration has reached 80 million yuan, not including the price of the subsequent box office share.
From this point, we can see that Hua Ying is special and different to Jiang se. Huo Zhiming secretly complains that Jiang se is paid too much. If he says so in front of Jiang se, it will inevitably embarrass the assistant.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Huo Zhiming. Huo Zhiming, looking unhappy, shook off his assistant's hand and pointed to the distant street view:
”it should have been repaired there. If you look at it like this in the camera, the real scene will be much better.”
He pasted his thumbs and forefingers together and put them in front of him as a camera gesture. He lifted a street that had been repaired a little, but he was very sorry.
Although I didn't get along with Huo Zhiming for a long time, Jiangse probably knew a little about his character. At this time, listening to him and seeing the small movements of his assistant, she didn't get angry because of Huo Zhiming's words:
”I didn't get paid very much for playing the criminal suspect.” This is the price set by the company. At that time, she was asked to accept it just to create the illusion that she and Tao Cen could still get along well. Luo Yin's personal salary was far lower than the income of Xianyuan.
”It has nothing to do with the reward. If director Huo thinks that the street is not perfect, you should apply to the investor for more funds.”
Huo Zhiming stagnated for a while, and Jiangse looked at him for a long time, and he said:
”is this the case? We have to see the film and start shooting.”
He leads jansser into the hotel, where all the facilities are ready. Everything in the hall is very exquisite. The carpet, the front desk and the guest book are all ready.
”A few days before the gathering, you should familiarize every corner here as much as possible, the map of the street, and I will ask Xiao Zheng to give it to you later.”
He had a strong attitude, and when he said these words, he was not allowed to refute it.
Assistant face shows helpless color, but did not expect Huo Zhiming every say, Jiangse all nodded, so obedient, instead let Huo Zhiming look at her several times.
Actors who have cooperated with each other in the past, regardless of their status, fame, age and age, generally don't like people who directly order themselves like Huo Zhiming.
Especially as he gets older, his fame is more and more out of proportion to his status. The investors don't like him, and the actors don't like him either. However, the old man's attitude on the set is still serious, which makes him extremely disgusting.
With more and more people arguing with him on the set, Huo Zhiming's reputation of being eccentric and mean will not go away.
