006 【Future Plans】
After Bucktooth Bing finished his instructions, he slipped away first. Because he also knew that his approach lacked morality, and he didn't want to be scolded by his eighth-generation ancestors in person.
Sure enough, after the news of Luo Yabing's request to shoot all night was conveyed in the summer, it immediately caused a bitter scolding from these crew members.
It's unlucky enough to fall into making this kind of unpopular movie, and what's even more unlucky is that even so, being exploited by the boss again, is simply falling into a well and sending in the snow.
"Director, we've all been tired all day, and now we really don't have much energy. Why don't you go and talk to Brother Bing, and let him be kind and let us go home." Amin, who was doing the scene notes, pleaded with Summer.
"Yes, yes, director, you can also see that we worked really hard today, and now we really can't hold on. You can help us. Luo Qinghao, who played the starring role, also said.
He is the most famous one in the crew, he has made two movies that are not blockbusters, and now he is filming TV series on ATV, playing small supporting roles such as male number three and male number four.
"No wonder he was so kind to invite everyone to supper, it turned out that he had this idea, and I said that he couldn't be so generous. Chen Yixin pursed his lips and said sharply.
Hearing him say this, everyone who originally ate a boxed lunch and was grateful to Bucktooth Bing Dade couldn't help but feel a little sick to their stomachs now.
"Alright, you can say a few words. Xia poked Chen Yixin, not wanting him to be convicted for his words again, "That's it, I'll make my own decisions, and everyone will rest for an hour first." I went back and sped up the shooting, trying to get everyone back to rest early. ”
Everyone also knows that although Summer is nominally a director, he is a girl who asks the girl to take the key - the house is not in charge, and now it is a rare thing to be able to squeeze out an hour for everyone to rest. They all nodded at the moment, and each found a place to rest.
In the summer, when I saw those extras who were tired and exhausted and lying directly on the floor, I couldn't help but feel a little sour in my heart. This is the entertainment industry, a first-line star is paid more than one million dollars for a play, and he is also served by the producer as a grandfather. And fourth-rate actors like them only earn dozens of dollars a day, and they have to be bullied like cattle and horses.
"Damn, you have to be famous, you have to make money!" he muttered to himself.
"Brother Tian, what are you muttering by yourself?" Chen Yixin asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just a little emotional. Summer said with a wave of his hand.
"Okay, don't be emotional, your lunch box is almost cold, let's eat it quickly. Otherwise, you won't be able to hold it out in the second half of the night. Chen Yixin reminded.
Summer nodded and hurriedly ate a boxed lunch. He's so busy that he's really hungry.
"Brother Tian, I heard today that Boss Shao seems to be going to close the company......" Chen Yixin suddenly said mysteriously.
Summer was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
He knew that the Shaw Brothers Film Company would basically stop production in '85, that is, next year, and the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line would also be leased to Debao Film Company. Except for a small number of its staff members who can enter TVB and continue to be cattle and horses for Sir Shao, most of the remaining people will face the dilemma of unemployment.
Even people like Zhang Che, Di Long, Jiang Dawei, and Chu Yuan, who were once smash hits and made great contributions to the Shaw Brothers, will also be kicked out of the door mercilessly.
"Why aren't you surprised at all?" Chen Yixin couldn't help but ask suspiciously when he saw that Xia Xia was so calm.
"What's so surprising about this, anyone can see that in recent years, Shaw Brothers is Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year is not as good as a year. The movie is almost a loss for one film, and the momentum is completely suppressed by Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest, and there is no hope of turning over, so what are you waiting for if you don't close down quickly?" Xia shook his head and said.
And Sir Shao's office has been on the wireless side in recent years, which shows that he has shifted his focus to the TV station. In addition, wireless is indeed very competitive, making so much money for Sir Shao, and holding down ATV steadily. In other words, it is you, a company that is struggling and dying, and a thriving and vibrant company, which one do you choose?" asked Xia rhetorically.
Chen Yixin listened to his analysis and reasonable, it seems that this news is indeed groundless, and it may not be without reason.
"Is there really no other way than to close the door?" he said.
Chen Yixin also grew up on the Shaw Brothers studio, his father was an employee of Shaw Brothers Films, and the family has served Shaw Brothers for more than 20 years and has a lot of affection for this company. He originally wanted to continue working on the Shaw Brothers set after his apprenticeship. Now when he heard that Shaw was closing, he suddenly felt as if the sky was falling.
"There is no other way, Shaw is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and he is terminally ill. If Sir Shao were twenty years younger and his ambitions were not dead, he might still be able to make drastic moves, promote the good and eliminate the bad, and reform the old and bring forth the new. But after all, he is now an old man in his seventies, and even if he has that heart, he doesn't have that courage anymore. Summer shook her head and sighed.
"Then if the Shaw Brothers really closes the door, then what should we do? Brother Tian, do you have any plans?" Chen Yixin asked worriedly.
"Yixin, have you ever thought that we would also start a company, make movies, and make a lot of money?" Xia didn't answer, but asked him instead.
Chen Yixin's head shook like a rattle, "Brother Tian, don't laugh." Now, even if you make the cheapest movie, it will cost hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. Our brothers are poor and white, where do we get the money to make movies?"
Summer smiled, "You don't have to worry about it, I'll figure out the money." Let me ask you, would you like to follow me?"
"I didn't say it! Brother Tian, I will do whatever you ask me to do, even if I don't have money, I will follow you. Chen Yixin nodded without saying a word.
"Good brother!" Summer patted him on the shoulder and smiled with satisfaction.
Chen Yixin also laughed innocently, "Brother Tian, how are you going to raise money?" he asked curiously.
"I'm going to ......" Xia was about to say his plan to make a fortune, when he saw that Ah Hua coming over again, "Hey, stinky boy, what are you rubbing, why don't you start filming now, how long are you going to delay?"
"I've just made up my mind and let them rest for an hour before we start filming. Summer looked up and explained.
"Why are you in charge?" said Ah Hua angrily.
Before leaving, Brother Bing had already handed over the crew to him to take care of, and he had to decide all the big and small affairs. I didn't expect this stinky boy in the summer to dare to make his own assertions, he was really daring, and he clearly didn't take him seriously.
"Just because I'm the director of this play. "Summer is the way to go.
"Take the chicken feathers as an arrow!" tell you, hurry up and start shooting, or ......," Ah Hua said threateningly.
"Otherwise?!" Xia Huo stood up and looked at him sharply.
He knows that people like Ah Hua are typical of lust and inwardness, if you are strong, he will be soft, and if you are soft, he will be strong, so Summer is not afraid of him at all.
Ah Hua had already suffered the loss of the summer just now, and he had left a lot of shadows in his heart, and when he saw him standing up at this moment, he was immediately frightened and took two steps back.
"Poof......" Chen Yixin couldn't help but be happy when he saw his embarrassed appearance.
When he laughed, Ah Hua's face immediately turned red, ashamed and angry, and he couldn't wait to smash Xia and Chen Yixin with one punch. But he also knows that when it comes to heads-up, he is not an opponent at all. And when the boss left, he had already taken most of the horses away, and now there are only two or three big cats and kittens, even if they fight in a group, they will lose or win.
"Damn!" Ah Hua knew that he couldn't bargain, so he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and turned around angrily, but his heart was full of claws, and he was extremely aggrieved.
At this moment, when he saw everyone lying on the ground resting, he was even more unhappy in his heart, "Damn, Lao Tzu hasn't rested yet, you guys are lying down first, and you guys will roll up and film for me." ”
Ah Hua can't clean up the summer, so he can only be angry with these crew members. He cursed and kicked and kicked them all like cattle.
"This bastard!" Chen Yixin saw that he was so arrogant, and he didn't treat people as good at all, so he immediately jumped up from the ground and wanted to play with him.
Xia didn't hold it, worried that Chen Yixin would cause trouble, so he hurriedly followed.
"What are you doing here? Brother Tian has made it very clear to you just now, he is in charge of letting everyone rest for an hour first. It's not time yet, why are you banging everyone up again?" Chen Yixin pointed at Ah Hua's nose and scolded.
Everyone in the crew who was kicked and beaten by Ah Hua originally had some complaints about Summer, thinking that he didn't mean what he said, but now when they heard Chen Yixin's words, they knew that Ah Hua was making his own decisions, and they couldn't help but pour all their grievances on him.
"Your brother Tian is a fart, holding chicken feathers as an arrow, and he is not ashamed!" Ah Hua shouted loudly.
"As long as I'm still the director of this play, what I say counts! I said let everyone rest for an hour first, just rest for an hour, and I'll take care of it myself. Summer walked over with her head held high and said.
"What if you are the director, Brother Bing handed over this crew to me to take care of before leaving. I'm the one who really takes care of things, and when I say I shoot, I shoot when I want. Ah Hua looked at Xia with a proud face, and then pointed at everyone and threatened, "Start work for me now, otherwise don't blame me for deducting my wages then!"
"Damn, I'm quitting. Ah Ming, who served as the scene reporter, slammed the scene board and scolded angrily, "It's dozens of yuan a day, and I don't treat people as people, whoever wants to do this errand will do it, Lao Tzu won't wait!" After speaking, he strode towards the outside of the studio.
He is the "broken urge" in the crew, he does the most work, but makes the least money, so he is the most resentful. It was already on the verge of a volcanic eruption, and when it was provoked by Ah Hua again, it suddenly erupted.
During the new book period, I urgently need to collect and recommend ticket support! I hope you will support as much as possible, thank you!
