Entertainment: Opening confession to all the female students in the class

"I'm sorry Director Chen, I didn't stand firmly just now!"

An actress with a delicate face and an off-the-shoulder dress got up from Chen Donglai in a panic.

The one who got up inadvertently revealed the curves of the concave and convex figure.

She blinked her eyes with eyeliner and artificial eyelashes, and looked at Chen Donglai charmingly.

This scene definitely had an immeasurable lethality to those innocent little boys of Chen Donglai's age.

However, she met Chen Donglai.

"Sit back to your seat if you have nothing to do, and don't move around while driving!"

Chen Donglai raised his head, glanced at the actress lightly, and then reached out to dust off the clothes that she had just stuck to.

The actress watched this scene, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly.

Are you so ignorant?

Then he came back to his senses and said, "Understood, thank you Director Chen!"

Chen Donglai stopped talking.

Watching the back of the actress leaving.

He could only shake his head helplessly.

Not to mention that he can see through this old-fashioned trick at a glance.

In the one month of filming alone, similar situations have happened no less than twenty times.

There are always people who want to take shortcuts.

Or in other words, these female models who pretended to be innocent thought that a boy of his age and appearance was easy to deceive.

Thinking of fooling such a young director, he can reach the sky in one step.

But unfortunately, Chen Donglai has seen the world.

He only has movies in his heart.

The filming progress of "Charlotte Annoyance" is barely halfway through, but the cost of the crew is less than a third.

The money is definitely not enough to finish filming the movie.

Therefore, he has already begun to plan to invest all the remaining balance in his account.

However, the company also needs money.

After Chen Runyu left, the company's recording studio began to move forward.

It is said that if you want to hire a professional band, the annual salary will start at one million.

During this time, Chen Runyu debuted, although the company only adopted the most conservative publicity, but as long as it is publicity, it needs money.

And Chen Runyu is just the beginning.

After that, Dong Shiliu and others will also release songs one after another.

After the filming is completed, a sum of money is also reserved as the cost of publicity and distribution.

Money is needed everywhere anyway.

It was also the first time that Chen Donglai felt that money was so tight.

Although his old songs are also being released on Huaxia Music's platform one after another, the sales share will have to wait until next month at the earliest.

He even had an ominous premonition.

That is to throw in his only savings of less than 1000 million, which may not be enough to finish the movie.

Where do I have to get some money?
Chen Donglai squinted his eyes and glanced out of the car window, thinking of various possibilities in his mind.

The crew's car parked outside the Peony Famous Hotel.

A group of people got out of the car one after another.

Then, I went to the place arranged by the hotel and ate a fairly high-end box lunch.

Different from the previous few days.

Today was going to be a night scene, so when the crew arrived at the hotel, they could only pick up lunches, and then rushed to the nearby filming location to eat without stopping. After eating, they immediately set up the equipment to make some pre-shooting preparations.

The whole crew is very busy.

Of course, Chen Donglai is the busiest.

He also has shots at night.

So he has to put on makeup in advance, and then he has to check the details of the set with the crew at the same time, and then he has to communicate with other actors.

So there it was, he took the lunch box and went to the set to direct the work.

Then, in order to save time, the follow-up actors had already arrived without even making a fuss.

He could only put down his lunch box and start talking about the play with the actors who came after him.

The same two dishes and one soup as all the actors were randomly placed on the small square table on the set.

Chen Donglai spoke intently, and from time to time asked the actor in front of him if he understood.

This scene fell in the eyes of the people around, and unconsciously a wave of respect rose in their hearts.

About half an hour later.

It was completely dark.

"Okay, let's talk about this first!"

"I saw that the set is almost finished, shall we try a shot?"

Chen Donglai looked at the people in front of him, and immediately greeted them.

However, before the actors around him could respond, Zhou Mingru beside him spoke first.

"Director Chen, do you want to finish your meal first..."

Zhou Mingru frowned, showing worry.

He followed Chen Donglai all the time, so he knew best that Chen Donglai hardly ate anything throughout the whole day.

"It's okay, I'm not hungry, and it's the same if I eat later!"

Chen Donglai responded casually.

Then he walked quickly to the front of the camera.

"Come on, take your seats!"

With a hello.

A group of actors can only be in place.

The camera is turned on.

Then, he quickly entered the state.

Chen Donglai didn't think so much in his mind.

Just trying to finish shooting a few shots tonight as soon as possible, that's all.

And once you get busy, you basically forget about dinner.

Wait until the shots in the shooting plan are finished shooting.

It was already after 10:30pm.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard!"

"I've already communicated with the hotel. Everyone can have a supper. If you want to go back, you can take a taxi and send a screenshot of the invoice to my mobile phone. The crew will reimburse you!"

……

Chen Donglai properly arranged a group of actors.

He just felt a slight pain in his stomach.

Only then did I realize that I forgot to eat dinner.

So he went to the table, although the food was already cold, but when people are hungry, everything is delicious.

Chen Donglai wasn't picky about his appetite either.

This scene fell into the eyes of the people around, and it couldn't help but make people's hearts flutter.

Even Director Chen is working so hard, why don't they work hard?

Especially in those extras.

Seeing that Chen Donglai and everyone in the crew were eating and receiving the same treatment, they were all very surprised.

Obviously, but anyone who has ever been on set knows that.

Those actors who are a little bit famous will have special treatment, let alone the director who holds the most power in the entire crew?
The so-called special treatment, such as a few more dishes in the box lunch, a better place to rest, different attitudes towards the crew, and so on.

This is an unwritten rule of the crew, or it can be said that it is an unwritten rule in the film and television industry, but here it is not at all.

Even the director Chen Donglai is the same as everyone else, do you have anything to say?

"How about it, is the box lunch delicious tonight?"

Zhou Mingru, who was on the side, looked at Chen Donglai who was devouring the food, and asked with a complicated face.

“It tastes good, you can eat it!”

Chen Donglai nodded, then picked up the small disposable cup and drank the last mouthful of seaweed egg soup in it.

Zhou Mingru was also slightly taken aback when he heard the words.

He originally thought that Chen Donglai would complain to some extent.

After all, cold food, even in some ordinary families, would be disliked by children.

Unexpectedly, Chen Donglai enjoyed it so much, as if he was used to it.

Chen Donglai didn't know what Zhou Mingru was thinking.

If he knew, he would definitely laugh.

After all, this matter is nothing compared to the decades of experience deep in his soul.

"By the way, Lao Zhou, it's too late today. You can tell Huang Youwei and them to take a rest after packing up. Tomorrow we will go to the set an hour early to discuss preparations!"

Chen Donglai thought of something, and immediately raised his head and said exhortingly.

"Row!"

Zhou Mingru nodded upon hearing this.

"By the way, the progress of filming is nearly halfway. Take some time these few days to estimate how much money will be needed until the filming is completed. Is there enough money for the crew? You have to prepare in advance!"

After Chen Donglai had a full meal, he asked the question he was most concerned about.

"In fact, I have estimated this, and the money in the account must not be enough!"

"If the filming is to be finished, it will cost about 800 million yuan, but if the publicity and post-production costs are added, it is estimated to exceed [-] million yuan, and even if the publicity effect is not good, it may cost more!"

Zhou Mingru's face straightened slightly, and he was also a little worried.

"Okay, I got it!"

"I'll take care of the money!"

Chen Donglai responded, but felt a little sad in his heart.

Is it really going to go bankrupt this time?

Why is it that others make movies and make money, but he makes movies and burns money like crazy?

Chen Donglai didn't understand.

However, you have to understand if you don’t understand.

"Okay, old Zhou, go back and rest first, we have to shoot tomorrow, don't stay up late!"

Chen Donglai got up and waved his hands, ready to leave.

"You should also pay attention to rest!"

Zhou Mingru also responded.

Looking at Chen Donglai's back, his expression became complicated, and then his cloudy eyes gradually became firm.

In Chen Donglai's body, he saw the shadows of many people in the past.

Those people were all he knew, well-known directors who left classics in the film and television industry.

Among them was his close friend Guo Yu.

After a while, Zhou Ming came back to his senses as if in a trance.

How could he compare a rookie like Chen Donglai with Guo Yu?

Probably because I was too tired, so I wanted to divert.

Zhou Mingru shook his head, let out a long sigh, then got up and walked quickly to the crew's vehicle.

In the night and moonlight, the sea water of Lujiang River is rolling away into the distance.
