The villain must spend all his money before he goes bankrupt [Transmigration Book]

In the past, Feng Xian had received at least a dozen letters from lawyers, so when he saw this Weibo, he didn't take it seriously. He just thought it was the same as before, and at most he was verbally intimidated twice.

So he deleted Weibo directly after reading it, thinking that it would be all right, and started to play dead, no matter how ridiculed or scolded by netizens, he did not respond.

He thought that as soon as the limelight passed, everything would be back to normal. Feng Xian stayed at home for half a month. Just when he thought he could return to Weibo, he unexpectedly received a court summons.

Only then did Feng Xian realize that the Weibo post was not a threat, but a serious one.

While Feng Xian was in a hurry, the crew of "A Farce" was not idle either.

This time it was a beautiful turnaround, and the uneasy atmosphere in the crew was swept away. Now that the film is about to wrap up, everyone in the crew is full of energy.

The atmosphere of their crew was so good that the director next door once came to ask Ye Zhou to borrow props, and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

The director next door is quite experienced, and has managed a dozen or so production crews. Looking at the whole circle, apart from the well-known director's own team, it is difficult to find a few with such an atmosphere as Ye Zhou. Good crew.

There is no need for Ye Zhou to say anything. As long as the task of the day is not completed, almost all the staff will work overtime and are unwilling to leave.

The director also privately asked a few staff members of Ye Zhou's crew why they all worked so hard. Could it be that Ye Zhou had given them some ecstasy soup.

The crew's answer was also very straightforward.

"Our Director Ye is very nice, and he doesn't feel tired doing things for him." As he said that, it was just time for dinner, and the little brother patted the director on the shoulder, "Have you eaten, if you haven't eaten, try our crew's food ?”

The director originally refused. After all, he still has a lot of work to do, so how can he stay for dinner when he has time? Besides, it's different where to eat box lunches.

But within two steps, he smelled a very strong fragrance, and the director stopped abruptly.

Seeing him like this, the staff asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you, Director Liu?"

"It's nothing." The director waved his hands and turned his steps, "I just suddenly remembered that it's okay to go back now, let's go after eating."

"I've heard that your crew's food is good. Let's go for a walk and bring me to taste it." As he spoke, Director Liu enthusiastically grabbed the staff member's arm.

The staff were dumbfounded by the contrast between his front and back, but they didn't think it was a surprise. After all, it was really hard for anyone to resist the working meal of their crew.

After lunch, Director Liu hiccupped happily. He thought he finally understood why Ye Zhou's crew worked so hard.

The food is so good every day, if you don't work hard, you will be sorry for the good things you eat every day!

When Director Liu was reluctantly about to leave, he happened to meet Ye Zhou who had just returned from the outside, and behind him was a young man with a stern face and a dusty demeanor.

Their eyes met, and both of them were a little surprised.

Then Ye Zhou greeted him with a smile: "Director Liu, are you leaving?"

"That's right." Director Liu nodded immediately, maybe because he was so satisfied with the food just now, he rarely put down his seriousness, and joked with a smile: "Director Ye, the food of your crew is really good, and you spend a lot of money every day Bar?"

Ye Zhou was stunned by his question, and subconsciously said, "Ah, this..."

He really didn't know this, because the chefs of the production team were brought by the boss at the beginning. At that time, he specifically asked how much money should be paid to the two chefs. Awakening of Insects.

Since then, the expenses of the cafeteria have been separated from the crew's finances, so Ye Zhou doesn't know exactly how much he spent.

However, Director Liu seemed to be really interested in this, and kept staring at Ye Zhou. In desperation, Ye Zhou had no choice but to turn to Big Brother Jiang for help.

Jiang Tingyuan didn't really want to talk about it.

But Ye Zhou's gaze was so foul that Mr. Jiang still couldn't hold it.

"Not much, just 10,000+." Jiang Tingyuan hesitated for a while, and lowered the price.

Ye Zhou: "???"

What the hell are you talking about? I can understand each word individually, but why can't I understand it together? !

Director Liu on the side: "!!!"

Fuck?He found that his previous guesses were all wrong. Perhaps the crew members were not all because of the food, or because of...

This crew is really rich! !

Director Liu nodded in a trance, and left the studio in a nonchalant manner.

After he left, Ye Zhou stood there for a long time without moving.

Jiang Tingyuan was also a little helpless, sighed softly, reached out to hold Ye Zhou's paw, and pulled him into the studio.

However, after taking two steps, he found that the person was still motionless, standing there like a sculpture.

Jiang Tingyuan had no choice but to stand back beside him and whispered in his ear: "It's not much money, don't stress."

Ye Zhou almost cried when he heard this, he was not only under pressure, he was under too much pressure!

Any director who knows that his crew will spend 10,000+ per day in the cafeteria alone can be under great pressure. If it’s a smaller crew, the whole crew’s expenses for a whole week won’t be that much, okay?

"Brother Jiang, tell me the truth, is it only 10,000+?" Ye Zhou asked with a trembling voice.

Jiang Tingyuan looked into his eyes and nodded: "...Yes."

"You are hesitant, you are hesitant!" Ye Zhou is not stupid. Seeing him like this, he immediately understood that Mr. Jiang must not be telling the truth, "If you don't tell me, I will ask Master Zhang!"

Master Zhang is one of the chefs of their crew. This character is notoriously simple and honest, and he never tells lies.

Mr. Jiang saw Ye Zhou's posture, and after a few seconds of silence, he said slowly, "Twenty."

Ye Zhou was stunned, and his face was full of grief: "I suspect that I'm crazy, and I have proof! The total investment of this movie is only 2000 million, and it costs 20 a day just to eat..."

Just looking at this figure is not high, but what needs to be known is that this is only a one-day cost. Generally speaking, it takes four or five months to complete a film in the shortest period of time.

It is not uncommon for some big productions to shoot for a year or two.

Take Ye Zhou and his crew as an example. So far, the filming has taken more than five months. According to 20 a day, the cost of food alone is less than 1000 million.

It may be that Ye Zhou's expression is so ferocious that Boss Jiang didn't know how to comfort him. After a long time, he said quietly, "Don't you like spending money? I'll spend it all for you, isn't it?"

In fact, strictly speaking, Jiang Tingyuan only stated half of the number.

Because Ye Zhou had a fever some time ago, in order to nourish Ye Zhou's body, Jiang Tingyuan airlifted a lot of nourishing ingredients from country d at a high price, and asked the chef to watch Ye Zhou eat.

Those expensive ingredients alone plus special storage and transportation costs cost 40 to [-] a day.

But these Jiang always will definitely not say.

Ye Zhou clutched his chest and couldn't recover for a long time. The price was really beyond his tolerance. At this time, he had already forgotten his rhetoric that he wanted to spend all of Guang Jiang's money.

After Mr. Jiang mentioned this, he remembered it just now, and said with a distorted expression: "I... like to spend money, but the money must be spent in a meaningful way, right?"

Mr. Jiang frowned: "Is it pointless to spend on food and drink?"

Mr. Jiang couldn't keep up with Ye Zhou's thinking, because he had accumulated assets to such an extent that, to put it in a cliché, money was really just a string of numbers.

In Mr. Jiang's view, a reasonable diet can ensure the healthy functioning of the body, and there is nothing more meaningful than health.

Ye Zhou had almost slowed down, he sighed, and said with difficulty: "It makes sense."

So meaningful, but a little expensive.

"However, I think filming should be carried out under relatively difficult conditions, otherwise the filmed works will have no soul." Ye Zhou said decisively, "So, Brother Jiang, you should transfer the chef back. fine."

Of course, Boss Jiang couldn't agree. If he transferred the chef back, wouldn't it be okay to let Ye Zhou go out to eat those junk food again?

The two remained in a stalemate for a few minutes, and finally the assistant director came over and called for someone to break the deadlock.

But fortunately, after Ye Zhou's unremitting efforts, although the boss didn't bring the chef back, he agreed to Ye Zhou not to bring the ingredients over by air.

In this way, although the price is still high, at least the expenditure has been reduced to half.

Ye Zhou was deeply relieved.

Not long after the shooting started in the afternoon, Mr. Jiang left early because he received a call from the company. Before he left, he still hadn't forgotten to tell Ye Zhou: "Don't go out and steal junk food."

After knowing how expensive the meals of his crew were, Ye Zhou didn't have the heart to eat junk food, so he nodded cooperatively.

After President Jiang left, Ye Zhou concentrated on filming.

Since Ye Zhou likes to finish filming the more difficult scenes ahead of time, even though the finishing touches have already begun, the remaining scenes are not too difficult.

The two days of shooting have been going very smoothly, but a problem suddenly appeared this afternoon.

"Stop." Ye Zhou frowned and called to stop, "Mr. Xie, come here."

After Xie Gefei came to him, Ye Zhou showed him the footage he had just taken, and said after a while, "It doesn't feel right here."

Ye Zhou: "This is a bit too forceful and deliberate, but it will expose the problem more clearly."

Xie Gefei nodded, his voice apologetic, and said, "I'm sorry Director Ye, let me try again."

However, this time, No. [-] played by Xie Gefei is still very stiff due to emotional ups and downs, which is worse than last time.

He ate more than a dozen ng in succession, no matter how good Xie Gefei's personality was, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed at this time.

Ye Zhou looked at the screen on the monitor without saying a word, while the assistant director went to comfort Xie Gefei, helping him adjust his emotions and prepare for the next round of shooting.

This scene is the scene where No. [-] confronts the judge when he is taken to court after being arrested.

The other party's lawyer recited one crime after another, while No. [-] remained silent from beginning to end, and did not defend himself in any way.

Just when the judge was about to announce the final verdict, Number Three, who had been quiet and very cooperative, suddenly moved, swallowed the poison that had been prepared long ago, and slowly fell to the ground under the horrified eyes of everyone.

After staring at the monitor for about 10 minutes, Ye Zhou suddenly got up with the script, walked up to Xie Gefei, and asked, "What do you think number three was thinking before he died?"

Xie Gefei was stunned, and thought for a moment before saying: "It should be a mockery of the law, refusing to accept the court's trial results, and would rather end his own life before the results come..."

"No, that's not the case." He was interrupted by Ye Zhou before he finished speaking, "He has never flouted the law, which can be seen from his previous behavior. When you find him, give up and run away."

"With his skill, if he really wanted to run at that time, he couldn't run away, but he didn't."

Hearing Ye Zhou's analysis, Xie Gefei was stunned, and then frowned tightly. After thinking for a long time, his voice was a little uncertain: "Is it possible? He has blind confidence in himself. After all, he has been a killer since the beginning. Since then, he has never missed a shot, and this is the first time he has missed a shot."

"So, I tried to get back the lost face from the police, but failed, and instead paid myself."

Ye Zhou heard the words, but did not answer.

At this time, the assistant director came over and expressed his opinion: "What Teacher Xie said is quite reasonable. The character No. [-] is very complicated. Before meeting Fang Wei, he had never missed a shot. This time, it is a big deal for him. The impact must have been quite large.”

Ye Zhou shook his head suddenly: "No, number three won't do that."

"Why not?" the assistant director asked subconsciously.

As he said that, he looked at Xie Gefei at the side, with a very serious and serious expression, and a bit of stubbornness in his voice: "He just can't, as long as he is number three, he won't do it."

Xie Gefei himself also knows that this scene has been ng so many times, it must be that he did not find the emotions that the characters should have, and failed to empathize with the characters.

But no matter what he thought, no matter how many times he thought, he still couldn't get a correct answer.

So even though he clearly knew that his state was not right, he couldn't find a breakthrough, so he could only repeat ng again and again, trying to find inspiration in the performance, but unexpectedly he ended up deadlocked here.

"Do you still remember the question I asked you when you came to the audition, and how you answered it at that time?" Ye Zhou asked.

Xie Gefei was a little dazed, but soon began to recall what happened on the day of the audition.

"You ask me, what kind of role should number three be?" His voice was a little uncertain.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he continued: "I said at the time that he is a pure and... inferior character."

Speaking of this, Xie Gefei's tone suddenly rose, and he asked in disbelief, "You mean...?"

Ye Zhou agreed: "Mr. Xie, you are a very good professional actor. Sometimes, you can completely trust your own feelings, and you can continue to enrich the character according to your own ideas."

"It's a good thing to be cautious, but being too cautious, constantly denying yourself and following a rigid performance model will make you gradually lose this intuition and aura."

As Ye Zhou's words fell to the ground, Xie Gefei's beautiful eyes suddenly widened: "You, you know..."

Ye Zhou sighed.

Yes, Ye Zhou had already noticed Xie Gefei's problem, but Xie Gefei was still able to deal with the previous scenes, so Ye Zhou didn't say anything.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Xie Gefei to detect the problem and make adjustments during the shooting, but he didn't.

Xie Gefei's problem is not uncommon. On the contrary, it is a problem that many actors with professional background will encounter when they first start acting.

The performance is too templated, what kind of scene should show what kind of emotion, when should smile, when should cry, when should be angry, they are all handy, so perfect that people can't find any problems after watching.

But not being able to pick out the problem has become the biggest problem.

To give the simplest example, people often see a certain star playing a certain type of role. After a long time, even if she suddenly changes roles one day, the audience still feels like she is playing the same role. Nothing but nothing special.

It seems that no matter how complicated the role is for her to perform, when she really starts to perform and plays it according to the template she has learned, this role is like all the roles she has played before, like a person from beginning to end.

For example, Liu Ruihua of Ye Zhou's crew, Mr. Liu is a well-known professional villain in the circle, and he will definitely be called an old drama.

However, when the audience mentioned Liu Ruihua, they only thought of the villains he played.

Hasn't he played a positive image? Of course not. In the early years, Liu Ruihua tried some changes. For this reason, he did not hesitate to turn down the high salary and took on some distinctive roles, just to seek breakthroughs.

But he failed, and the reason is not difficult. When an actor performs the same performance for several years, then such a deduction template will be engraved in his bones. As long as he performs, he will subconsciously follow that template. .

To break through, in addition to your own efforts, you also need hard resources, and the guidance and training of famous directors. There is no doubt that this is quite difficult.

Now Xie Gefei is in such a state, the villain should be vicious and cunning, and the decent should be open and aboveboard. Such rigid things completely limit his imagination and even limit his talent.

Perhaps this has a lot to do with Xie Gefei's disappointment in recent years. After all, if it's just a group performance, as long as the performance is satisfactory and the director does not steal the limelight from the protagonist, the director will be satisfied.

If you perform too well and steal the limelight from the protagonist, it will cause the director's dissatisfaction.

Over time, Xie Gefei developed such a habit that he acted according to how the script was written, and he acted according to Ye Zhou's ideas, laughing when he should laugh, and crying when he should cry.

Covering the light all over his body, he was already used to this state. If Ye Zhou hadn't awakened him just now, Xie Gefei might have forgotten it.

"You are a good actor, you can play any role if you want."

From this day on, this sentence was deeply imprinted in Xie Gefei's heart like a tattoo. Until a long time later, when he became the first actor in China to sweep all the domestic film awards and was recognized as a grand slam actor, he was asked "how To create so many characters with great contrasts so perfectly", Xie Gefei would always think of the words Ye Zhou said to him that afternoon in the quiet studio.
