The Golden Age of China Entertainment

"Second brother! I just came back, and I still have a lot of things to do. Besides, my wife is pregnant. Now you want me to conceive with you?"

"Who said go to Huailai, go, come with me to the Beijing Film Studio!"

Chapter 431

Today's itinerary, Yi Qing originally planned it very well. First, he went to the unit and the leader to report, and then he perfected the shooting plan. Before noon, he went home to cook for his wife.

But somehow she was dragged by Chen Xiaoer to the Beijing Film Studio. When she got to the gate, Yi Qing didn't understand what she was doing here.

"Second Brother! It's already at the door, so tell me, what are we doing here? You have to let me understand, right?"

Chen Xiaoer was registering with the guard when he heard the words: "What are you doing, I want money!"

It has been more than half a month since it was started, and it can be said that the wreaths are like running water. The budget of this play is only 200 million, and the actors' remuneration has not been paid yet, but it has basically bottomed out.

Yi Qing was taken aback when he heard this: "Second brother, are you spending money or are you burning money? After only a few days of turning on the machine, you have already spent all the money? You are not as good at making money as a prodigal!"

This show burns money, Yi Qing knew before that the cost of props alone is a huge figure, and all kinds of paper bundles and so on during the old lady's funeral have to be made new.

But it's not like spending the money in just a few days!

After Chen Xiaoer registered, he and Yi Qing pushed the car inside together: "You are not in charge of the family and don't know about Chai Migui. Do you think it is easy to make those things now? There is nowhere to buy them. They are all entrusted to others." I invited a master craftsman to come over and make it one by one, so it can be cheaper? And the coffin, it cost more than 3000."

Yi Qing didn't think about this before. In today's society, there are endless debates about burial and cremation, but the state directly enforces the request from the top, and the grassroots workers below can only guard against it. All craftsmen have been banned, and it is really difficult to buy those things as props.

"But even if you run out of money, is there any use in calling me over? Can Mengchang listen to me? Do you think I'm a god?"

Chen Xiaoer was also very helpless about this: "I've been here twice, and the Mengchang side didn't let go at all. I was thinking, your eloquence is good, please help me talk about it, the crew side If there is no more money, it will really be impossible to get rid of it."

What the hell!

After Yi Qing heard this, she just wanted to scold her, and Chen Xiaoer dragged him over because he could speak vernacular, but he had already come here, so he couldn't go in and go out again.

"How much money I owed you in my previous life, let's go! Grandpa!"

The two went all the way to the office building of Beijing Film Studio, and registered again. After the old man in the reception office called Meng Factory, they were allowed to enter.

"Xiao Yi, you have a good eloquence, and it will all be up to you later on. Whether this scene can be filmed or not depends on you alone!"

Nima, this is human speech! ?

"No, I'm not that capable. At most, I'll plead for you. But, brother, if you can get the money, you can save it in the future. If you spend like this, Mengchang will grant you another 200 million. You have to spend it too!"

It is certain that this show will burn money, and the initial investment of 200 million is also certain, but Yi Qing never thought that Chen Xiaoer would be so prodigal.

200 million, it will be gone in more than half a month, no one can justify it!

"I also want to save money, but you don't have time to help. Without you as a big butler, I will be a director and an actor at the same time. How busy I am!"

Before the filming, Beijing Film Studio also sent people there, but it was just a decoration, and Yi Qing was basically helping to manage it.

"This show is starting, and Meng Factory didn't send you someone?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Chen Xiaoer became even more helpless: "I have a faction, but it's the same as if I didn't. I don't do anything all day on the set."

This is a problem, but when it comes to Beijing Film Studio's system and internal work, Yi Qing can't say anything.

Why did all these established film studios disappear later?

This is the disadvantage of Guozihao. The internal employees lack enthusiasm, and they do more or less to ensure income.

When I went upstairs to Meng Shi's office, the big boss was already waiting, and the desk was full of various documents. It could be seen that he was so busy, and it was already a great honor to meet them.

"Yi Qing, you are a rare visitor. Last time I asked you to go through the back door, and there was no one there. Today is~~~~~~~~"

Let's talk about human relations at the beginning. Before Huang Yuanshen and other artists from Xiangjiang came over, Yi Qing took them to the Forbidden City, but he asked Meng Shi to go in.

"Great leader, thank you very much last time. If it weren't for you, the compatriots from Xiangjiang would have been unable to find the door if they wanted to experience our Forbidden City. This time we are begging you again!"

As Yi Qing said, he looked at Chen Xiaoer. The real thing had to be said by the right person, and he was a supporter!

Chen Xiaoer has been in trouble, and he has come here twice, but he was blocked by Meng Shi every time. The reason why he called Yi Qing this time was to ask him to intercede, but seeing Yi Qing Obviously, he doesn't want to play the leading role.

"Leader, over there with our crew~~~~~~"

As soon as Chen Xiaoer complained, Yi Qing stared in a daze. Everyone knew that Chen Xiaoer was a comedian, but he didn't expect to be able to sing this bitter drama with such a level.

In short, the production team is difficult, and it seems that they will not be able to uncover the pot.

Meng Shi listened patiently to Chen Xiaoer's words, and then said: "Xiao Chen, I already know that you have difficulties, but we can't spend this money like this? The investment of 200 million yuan is less than You'll lose all my flowers in one month, and even I, the factory manager, can't explain it to everyone."

The Beijing Film Studio has shooting tasks every year, and Chen Xiaoer's film was unplanned. The reason why he was able to bear the name of the Beijing Film Studio and use the capital of the Beijing Film Studio was entirely because of his previous good results.

The support plan for young directors does not exist every year. The investment in this play was squeezed out by Meng Shidong's patchwork.

Chen Xiaoer wept, and kept winking at Yi Qing. When Yi Qing saw him, he knew that he couldn't keep silent: "Leader! The filming of this film has already started, and the money has been invested. It can't be done at this time." Was it chopped off? If you say that the funds are insufficient now, it’s really not that the little brother wasted money. It’s because the previous budget didn’t understand. I just thought that those props were made of paper and wood, but I forgot the current state. Those businesses have been banned a long time ago, and now they have to make all new ones, which really costs money, and the other thing is~~~~~~~”

Yi Qing hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "The producer who was filmed in our factory, if I ask you, didn't do a good job as a big housekeeper. According to the rules, every money spent by the crew has to come from his His main task in the production team is to ensure the whereabouts of every sum of money, but now everything in the production team has to be relied on by the second brother, and he really can't keep an eye on it by himself."

When Chen Xiaoer heard this, he suddenly regained his spirits: "Meng Chang, you don't know that now I and the crew are basically acting as a few people, and I have to be a director and an actor. All the messy things in the crew are all the same. You can find me on my head, you know me too, if you want to be the big housekeeper, I am really not that kind of material, and the real big housekeeper really doesn't care about things, so it's hard for me!"

Hearing this, Meng Shi couldn't help frowning. He didn't understand this situation before. If this was the case, he really couldn't blame Chen Xiaoer for his prodigal fortune, but the people sent by the factory for their inaction.

"I will investigate this situation. What do you mean by coming here this time? Let's be straightforward!"

Chen Xiaoer hurriedly took out a new proposal from his bag. This was requested by Meng Shi when he came here for the second time. He couldn't just ask for money. Since the budget was overrun, he had to give an explanation. In addition, the following How to shoot the play had to be re-planned.

After all, Beijing Film Studio's money didn't come from the wind!

"Mengchang, according to your request, I have sorted everything out. This is the detailed account of the previous expenses. This is the plan I made again. Take a look!"

Meng Shi took it without looking at it, and directly patted it on the desk. Looking at Chen Xiaoer, he was silent for a while and said, "These two things will be placed here first, how about this, I will let the financial department give you the I don’t ask you to use this 100 million yuan to finish filming the show, but you have to spend this money, understand, can you do it?”

Meng Shi also knew that it would be a matter of time to invest more in the crew. Half of the filming was done, and the investment was 200 million. Could it really be cut in half?

However, this 100 million is already Meng Shi’s greatest ability at the moment. He is the director of Beijing Film Studio, yes, but this is a national brand after all, and it’s not just his words. If there is more investment, the factory will definitely Someone is going to gossip.

Moreover, even with the 100 million, Meng Shi was looking at Yi Qing's face, otherwise, he would have to hold down Chen Xiaoer for at least two more months.

It's just that I didn't expect that Chen Xiaoer was a clever person, and he knew how to pull Yi Qing over to intercede. Meng Shi needed to try his best to win over Yi Qing. A good relationship will definitely benefit you in the future.

Previously, Yi Qing held the script for changing the camera, and all of them have already been released. Although the subject matter involved has attracted some criticism, in general, it is still very popular.

This also strengthened Meng Shi's idea of ​​wooing Yi Qing.

Otherwise, the great director of Beijing Film Studio is full and has nothing to do, just because Yi Qing wants to bring a few stars from Xiangjiang to the Forbidden City, so he uses his contacts to make it easier?

Meng Shi felt that the 100 million was the best of benevolence, but Chen Xiaoer was not satisfied: "Mengchang, this 100 million, I~~~~~~"
