In fact, the daily shooting on the set was quite boring. After the initial crazy welcome, Song Wenye gradually became more comfortable. He looked at the sweaty staff and asked, “Till what time the shoot will be for today?”
Chu Xiaxing glanced at the notice sheet and said calmly, “We’ll be finished earlier today, at seven or eight o’clock. We don’t need to shoot night play.”
Song Wenye, “How late does night shoot usually take?”
Chu Xiaxing, “If it’s better, it’ll be two or three o’clock in the morning. If it’s not very smooth, it’s possible to go all night.”
Song Wenye, “…Can you stand it for such a long time?” There was no rest day for the crew. They only slept five or six hours a day, and a lot of people did physical work too.
Chu Xiaxing said amusedly, “President Song, after the crew is set up, it costs money if you don’t film. The shooting time can be said to be directly linked to money.”
Song Wenye, “What if you are sick?”
Chu Xiaxing, “Bear with it, if you can’t then you’ll be changed. There will always be someone on the bench. Big groups have money and are more flexible, while small groups rely on support.”
Song Wenye, “……”
Seeing that he was not talking, Chu Xiaxing turned her head to look at him and smiled, “What’s with that expression? Is President Song a little disappointed that he thought everyone was engaged in art, but actually he was working tiredly?”
Song Wenye pondered for a few seconds, and couldn’t help asking, “What are the working hours of the crew?”
Chu Xiaxing knew that he had taken the bait and straightforwardly said, “The shooting was normal recently, but since we had to save money to catch up with a few big plays, which also had to run around for several days…”
Song Wenye, “How much does a big play cost? In fact, the budget can be discussed again, but don’t force the team too hard. Team stability is the most important thing.”
Song Wenye witnessed the crew’s day. Of course, he felt the terrible workload. Although the staff greeted vigorously, they basically had no time to stop. The few breaks were the transition time. Everyone was a mess by the heat in the scorching summer, and they often sat on the side of the road tiredly without saying a word, in a poor spirit.
Even though Song Wenye was sitting in the best director’s booth, he could still feel the heat wave and sweat on his back, not to mention other people.
Chu Xiaxing’s selling tactics by being miserable were successful. She didn’t shirk it immediately, and decisively said, “Call the production manager and let him report to President Song! President Song thanked everyone for their hard work, and said that they can increase the budget!”
Song Wenye, “?” I clearly mean that we can talk about it again. How can it already become adding the budget?
When the production director heard the news, he jumped over in a hurry, as if afraid that Song Wenye would regret it. He slapped up the flattery first, and then began to talk pitifully, “Great, it’s great, President Song, you really are a sensible person. I was afraid that everyone would not be able to hold on. There are not many people like you who take care of the worker…”
Song Wenye, “…….” How come that all of you are not acting, but look like old actors?
Chu Xiaxing succeeded in making a hit, she was a little bit aggressive, and continued: “President Song, do you feel a little empty when you look at the picture on the monitor?”
Song Wenye had just finished the entanglement with the crying production director, and finalized the additional budget for the crew. He looked at the monitor blankly when he heard the words, and said in doubt, “Where? I don’t understand much about the scene.”
Chu Xiaxing made gestures on the shooting screen, and she said plausibly, “Don’t you think we can add something to the scene here?”
Song Wenye, “It indeed seems to be a little empty.”
Chu Xiaxing touched her chin, and pointed out, “I originally felt empty, but I thought the scene was too expensive, so I didn’t add…”
When Song Wenye faced her crazy hint, how could he not understand the meaning, “……”
Song Wenye thought about his experiences on the set upon hearing that, he finally couldn’t help looking at Chu Xiaxing, and asked: “Do I look like someone who is easily deceived?”
