Chapter two hundred and seventy-two, escape(2/2)
"Yes, I promise, I'll give it to you when we get to Xiangjiang." Bao Qiang already understood that the boy in front of him would be willing to go to Antarctica, let alone Xiangjiang, as long as he had money.
"Okay, I'll trust you just once. Let's go quickly, it's going to rain." Chen Jiaju waved his hand, signaling Bao Qiang to follow.
"Boy, where are you from?" Bao Qiang stood up and asked as he walked.
"Foshan, is there a problem? Do you look down on us country people?" Chen Jiaju replied.
"How is it possible? Huang Feihong is from Foshan. How could I look down on his fellow countrymen?"
The two cursed and started climbing the mountain.

"Brother Dong, you are finally back. I have completed the preparations for the movie. All I need is your approval."
After handling the matters in the mainland, Lei Weidong returned to the police station to go to work. When he got off work in the afternoon, as soon as he came out of the police station, Wang Jing, a little fat man, came to his door.
"It will be ready in less than ten days. You are fast enough." It was difficult to talk on the street, so Lei Weidong took Wang Jing to the restaurant opposite. The two found a remote corner and talked about movies.
"Time is money. I have been thinking about the movie when I was sleeping these days, and I finally got everything done." Wang Jing said as he handed the storyboard script to Lei Weidong like a treasure.
"The content of "Happy Ghost" is very simple. It is a story about three girls and a ghost. It does not require many outdoor scenes. Apart from the ruined temple and beach at the beginning, the rest are shots of schools and hotel swimming pools.
I have already contacted the school. It is an ordinary middle school and promised to sponsor students' clothing and have the school's frontman appear in the movie, plus a bonus of 10,000 yuan.
The school not only agreed to send more than a hundred students as extras, but also held a spring sports meeting for us to film. We just needed to provide some more prizes.
It can be said that not only the effect of the sports meeting is maximized, but the cost is also minimized.
As for the dormitory of the three girls, I contacted my alma mater and they will provide me with a dormitory building for shooting at a very low cost and a hotel swimming pool. The company arranged for me to shoot at the Cointreau Hotel. I went to see it and it was a good fit.
As for the actors!
The three female students are confirmed to be played by Zhu Wanfang, Xiao Stutter and Qin Xilei. The happy ghost will be played by veteran actor Huang Baiming. He has been a bit player in TVB for more than ten years and has played countless supporting roles, so he is very suitable for this role.
In addition, in order to increase the reputation of the movie, I also invited Brother Xiaoma, Brother Hao and others to make guest appearances. As for the playboy in the movie, Brother Dong, are you interested in making a guest appearance?
There are only a few shots and it can be done in one day.”
"Guest appearance!" Touching his beardless chin, Lei Weidong nodded. Anyway, he has nothing to do recently, so it's okay to appear in the movie.
"How much is the estimated cost?" Lei Weidong asked.
"However, it can be done with 800,000 yuan. Even if we slow down the shooting speed and strive for excellence, we can still do it with 1 million." Wang Jing stretched out a finger and said in a positive tone.
"Okay, if one million is enough and the movie is a big hit, I will use the remaining five hundred thousand to give out red envelopes, and you, the director, can take half of it."
Lei Weidong was very satisfied with Wang Jing's budget.
Although Happy Ghost's investment in Original Time and Space exceeds two million, don't forget that Huang Baiming's salary accounts for a large part of it. He is one of the giants of New Art City, so his salary cannot be low.
"How are Little Stutterer and the others? Are they suitable to be actors?" Lei Weidong asked.
Wang Jing: "Brother Dong, I was just about to tell you this. Zhu Wanfang, Xiao Stutter and Qin Xilei are really full of potential. The first day of training was a bit difficult.
I got into the groove the next day, and made rapid progress in the next few days. It can be said that I was born to be an actor, so I don’t have to worry about being delayed during filming.”
"What you mean is that they should be full-time actors and actresses in the future." Lei Weidong understood what Wang Jing meant.
"It's not the actors who are the stars, Brother Dong. If a company wants to grow and develop, it cannot do without its flagship products. For a film company, whether it can become bigger and stronger, good movies are the key.
Oriental Film and Television Company has theaters and studios under its umbrella, as well as big stars like Xiao Ma. Its only weakness is that there are no outstanding female stars. Zhu Wanfang and the three of them are very suitable.
I'm too young to tell it now, but in a few years I'll definitely be able to take the lead and become the best partner of Xiao Ma and the others."
Lei Weidong: "We'll wait until the movie is released and see the results. They're still young, so don't worry."
"Okay!" Wang Jing nodded, "Brother Dong, I would like to ask if you would like to go and watch it when the movie is turned on to worship the gods. This is also to promote the movie."
"Turn on the phone to worship God, when and where?"
"Three days later." Wang Jing said, "In the film and television city, after worshiping the gods, we will shoot the scene of the ruined temple, then go to a nearby beach to shoot the scene of the beach, and finish the day and night scenes."
"Okay, I don't have anything to do anyway, so I went to check it out." Lei Weidong nodded, saying that he would definitely arrive when it was time to turn on the computer, and he would cheer for Wang Jing and others.
On April 6, 1985, Happy Ghost, who had done all the preparations, performed the last thing before starting the machine, worshiping God.
The location is located in the film and television city of Oriental Group.
This piece of land located in Tseung Kwan O, covering an area of thousands of acres, has been invested and developed by Oriental Group. It not only has a vast film and television city, but also shops, supermarkets, residential areas, office buildings and other buildings.
It has become a small but complete modern town with a population of tens of thousands.
"You are too fond of Wang Jing!"
Because Lei Weidong's status was too high, participating in the worship could easily cause shock among people in the circle. In order to keep it secret, although Lei Weidong arrived at the scene, he and Yun Piaopiao stood in the building to watch the excitement.
Worshiping God is solely the responsibility of director Wang Jing.
Seeing Wang Jing directing the crew to move the table together and place roast suckling pig, roast goose and many fruit pastries... After setting everything up, and leading the crew to burn incense and worship the gods, Yun Piaopiao couldn't help but say.
"As long as it can make me money, I can't be too fond of it. Wang Jing, this little fat guy, is different from the director I was filming. Not only does he know how to make movies, but he has no sense of shame, and he won't sacrifice the box office for art. The movies he makes will definitely make money."
, can become the backbone of the company.”
Lei Weidong laughed as Wang Jing stopped him from holding the incense with his hands together and mumbling.
"If you can become the backbone of the company, you really need to pay attention to it."
Yun Piaopiao nodded. As the president of the film company, Yun Piaopiao knew that the biggest weakness of Oriental Film Company was that it did not have a capable director.
Regardless of the number of classics produced, they are all based on the script given by Lei Weidong and strict control, and the director is not allowed to modify it. If Wang Jing can write and direct himself and make a blockbuster movie, he must pay more attention to it and give it
Giving money to the name or even shares is not an exaggeration.
"Click!"
After worshiping the gods and distributing the tributes to the recorders and other staff, Wang Jing directed the crew to start filming. The first thing they filmed was the scene in the ruined temple at the beginning. Huang Baiming, who was desperate because of his failure in the audition, went to hang himself in the ruined temple.
Then there was the scene where Zhu Wanfang, Xiao Stutter, Qin Xilei and other men and women entered the ruined temple to take shelter from the rain and tied the rope with the ghost of Zhu Xiucai.
Because I prepared in advance and didn’t need many shots, it could be done in one morning, including the time for makeup and makeup.
After lunch, everyone rested for half an hour and then went to a nearby beach to film a scene of a few girls playing and camping on the beach. This is a classic in the film.
Innocent female students wearing one-piece swimsuits chase and play on the beach.
Although the white thighs are exposed, because it is on the beach and she is a little girl, it does not give people the astringent feeling in a romantic movie, but instead gives a youthful and healthy feeling.
"Buzz buzz!"
Just as five little girls in swimsuits were giggling on the beach, there was a buzzing sound on the sea. Lei Weidong looked at the sea and saw a speedboat speeding on the sea, with five or six seals behind it.
A speedboat with a marine police sign was chasing her at high speed.
In addition to the buzzing sound of the speedboat motor, there were also continuous gunshots.
"It's Chen Jiaju and Yang Jianhua. No need to ask about the one driving the speedboat, he is the best." Lei Weidong's eyes were very sharp. Even though the distance was five or six hundred meters away, Lei Weidong still saw who was sitting on the speedboat.
It seems that the plan is going very smoothly. Chen Jiaju and Yang Jianhua have successfully broken into the Guanchaiba drug trafficking group.
"What are you looking at, whatever are you looking at, let me continue filming." Seeing that the crew was attracted by the speedboat chase scene on the sea, Wang Jing cursed a few words and asked everyone to continue working, then ran to Lei Weidong and asked.
"Brother Dong, this is a gun and it's loaded with bullets. Did something happen?"
"It's nothing serious. The marine police are catching stowaways." Lei Weidong said as he looked at the speedboat going away.
"The stowaways will make such a big fuss that they even use guns." His father is a lard boy. Although he has retired from the world, Wang Jing also knows a lot about the police force. Generally speaking, catching stowaways is mostly a chase, and the use of guns is rare.
few.
Because the smugglers and the marine police are inextricably linked, whether there is a death penalty in Xiangjiang, the smugglers will not resist and directly confront the marine police unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Smugglers won't fight against each other, but drug dealers are different, but it has nothing to do with us. Let's work harder and finish filming today's scene. After filming, I will treat everyone to a late-night snack. Abalone and bird's nest will be enough." Lei Weidong said grandly.
.
"OK!"
When they heard that they could eat abalone and bird's nest, everyone cheered and cheered up to continue filming.
As a tropical city in Xiangjiang, even in early April, the temperature climbed to 27-88 degrees Celsius, close to 30 degrees, although the water was still a bit cold.
But with the abalone and bird's nests cheering us up, everyone was in high spirits, running and playing on the beach, playing in the water, and the beach scene was quickly finished.
Then everyone went back to the studio to have dinner, and after the sun went down in the evening, they went back to the beach to shoot the camping scene.
At the same time, a luxurious villa is located on the beach in the West District.
Bao Qiang walked in with Chen Jiaju and Yang Jianhua.
"Brother Leopard!"
"Brother Leopard!"
As Guanchaiba's right-hand man, Bao Qiang has a very high status. Seeing him come in, the guards of the villa smiled and greeted him, and Bao Qiang.
Except for a few close friends who patted Loulou on the shoulder, everyone else just nodded.
"What's going on?"
Seeing a person being pushed inside to drink water in the swimming pool, Bao Qiang couldn't help but ask.
"That guy betrayed the elder brother, and the elder brother asked him to dive." The younger brother replied.
Chapter completed!
