Chapter 255 254, Budget Savings

Ning Province, Zhongwei, Shangtan Village

As usual, Liu Ye strolled to Ma Ti's house after dinner.

Ma Ti’s house has a black and white TV, and it is the only one in the village. It is almost the 21st century, and it is really unimaginable that this place is still so poor.

I have nothing to do in the evening, and classmates staying in various houses will gather here, watch TV, gossip, and then scold Sun Hao...

After staying in the northwest for more than half a month, let alone the unlimited supply of snacks Sun Hao promised everyone, this guy didn't even make a phone call.

This hurts our young hearts.

Arriving a little late, when Liu Ye walked in, he found that there was no room on the large earthen bed.

"Yezi, do you think Sun Hao has forgotten us?"

Liu Ye was about to go out and find a small bench when Hu Jing, who had now begun to take on the rustic temperament of a northwest girl, asked.

"should be!"

Before Liu Ye opened his mouth, Chen Minghao raised his voice.

"Brothers, sisters, have you seen the movie "Party A and Party B"? I feel like I am the rich man who ate all the chickens in the village. I am looking forward to it and hope that Sun Hao will come soon!"

"puff…"

Yuan Quan was happy.

"Old Chen, don't talk nonsense, there is still a difference between you and that rich man.

He ate the whole village's chickens, but now, you have only eaten half of the chickens in Shangtan Village. "

"Pfft, haha..."

As soon as Yuan Quan finished speaking, the students who were sitting cross-legged on the kang watching TV burst into laughter.

But at this moment, in this quiet countryside, the sound of car horns was suddenly heard, getting louder and louder from far away.

"Didi didi..."

"Hey, how come there is a car?" Everyone was puzzled.

Yes, in this village where there is no mobile phone signal, how come there are cars coming at night?

Puzzled, but then everyone thought of a possibility.

Sun Hao is here.

So everyone got off the kang, put on their shoes, and ran towards the entrance of the village.

"Sun Hao, your grandson finally thinks of me."

At just the right time, everyone arrived at the entrance of the village. Next to the public toilet, which until now seemed a bit luxurious, a green truck drove over from a distance.

"Hu Jing, Yuan Quan, Qin Hailu... I miss you so much!"

"Uh... Zeng Li, why are you here? Where is Sun Hao?" Everyone scratched their heads when they saw Zeng Li jumping out of the car.

Next day, early morning

Zhou Xingchi did not ride his bicycle to exercise as usual, but drove to the entrance of Yinghuang Junjing Hotel.

The chance meeting with Sun Hao last night gave Zhou Xingchi an impulse and felt that he must have a chat with him. How do you deal with people in Hollywood?

You know, two Hollywood film and television companies, Fox and DreamWorks, have approached me many times. They hope that I can adapt "The God of Cookery" into a Hollywood movie and then release it worldwide.

But, they had to use hamburgers as food for filming the movie... Oh my god, what's so delicious about that kind of junk food? !

And things are still at a stalemate...

But although Zhou Xingchi had a good idea, his emotional intelligence was a bit low. Before coming, he neither called nor informed Sun Hao through his friends, so he came in such a big way.

Therefore, before Zhou Xingchi got out of the car, he saw Sun Hao coming down from upstairs and getting into a commercial vehicle parked on the roadside.

"Hey..., where is he going now?"

So Zhou Xingchi, who was curious, stopped the car, stepped on the accelerator and quickly followed.

in front, in the car

As soon as Sun Hao sat down, Huo Wenxi, who served as an executive producer for the first time in the movie "Death Is Coming", started talking about work.

"Director, based on your request, I chose three suitable shooting sections, and now we are going to the first one - Tuen Mun Highway!

The reason why I arranged Tuen Mun Highway as the first stop is because it is the most suitable among the three places, because we do not need to close the road section for shooting. "

"Oh, why?" Sun Hao was curious.

"On August 18 last year, on the Siu Lam section of Tuen Mun Highway towards Tsuen Wan, a huge boulder suddenly rolled down from the mountain widening project site and hit a minivan. The driver died on the spot.

In order to prevent any more rocks from falling into the road from the mountain, the widening project on the site was temporarily suspended, and the Tuen Mun Highway towards Tsuen Wan was completely closed, so we could just go in and film. "

"Then..., what if there is a sudden rockfall during the filming of the movie?" Sun Hao frowned and asked.

"This is simple, because there are only four or five places where rockfalls are prone to occur on the 17.8-kilometer road section. When we film, we only need to move these places out of the way to ensure everything is safe."

"Well..." Sun Hao nodded.

"Then...where is Luo Lixian?"

"He is waiting for us on the Tuen Mun Highway..." After talking to this point, Huo Wenxi suddenly frowned: "Director, Luo Sheng just called me. He said that he hoped that his senior brother would have [Asia's No. 1 Flying Man" 】The well-known Ke Shouliang can join the filming of this movie. "

"Welcome!"

Sun Hao was a little excited.

When he was planning to shoot the movie "The God of Death", he wanted to find Ke Shouliang as the stunt coordinator. However, because Leslie Cheung and Law Li-hsien had a better relationship, he turned to him instead.

Unexpectedly, they turned out to be brothers, and this time they even came to their door.

"But..., but..."

Huo Wenxi, who was sitting next to Sun Hao, suddenly hesitated to speak.

"Just say what you have to say, don't be so hesitant."

"But director, I'm afraid our film production costs will increase, because according to the original budget design, the maximum expenditure on stunts in "Death is Coming" is HK$7 million, and this also includes the [car crash scene] in the movie. The cost of damage to the vehicle due to actual filming." Huo Wenxi, who served as an executive producer for the first time, said she was very worried because she had spent too much money and could not explain it to Boss Yang.

"Then... have you calculated how much our budget will increase if Ke Shouliang joins?"

"Four hundred thousand, four hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars will definitely be available, because this is the market price of Ke Shouliang's team."

"okay!"

Sun Hao didn't hesitate at all.

"Let him in!"

“What to do with the increased budget?”

"I save time in other aspects." Sun Hao said with a confident smile.

"for example?"

"We don't need the extras used by our crew in Hong Kong. We can just let the crew make guest appearances."

"Well……"

"Also, during the filming of the movie, there is no need for the three buses rented by our crew to wait around the filming site. Just let them drop people off when the filming starts, and then pick them up when the filming ends.

Because this car is charged by the hour, they have to collect money even if they are idle. "

"Well…"

"Well, also, Chen Guanchi's assistant has no need for a driver or a nanny car. Just let him come by himself to shoot. This way the crew can save another expense."

"hiss…"

Huo Wenxi suddenly felt a toothache.

If the budget still cannot be saved, will this guy kick himself out so that he can save another labor force for the crew? !
