It was already one o 'clock in the morning when he returned to the hotel in Hangzhou.
Xiao Yunhai took a shower and had a good sleep. He went to the set early the next morning.
Zhao Zhen, who was busy setting up the scenery, hurriedly ran over when he saw Xiao Yunhai and said, "Senior Xiao, when did you return? Why didn't you tell me? The crew could have picked you up. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It was already early in the morning when I came back. It was too late, so I took a taxi. How did the filming go these two days? "
Before they left, Ge Wuyou and Yu Yuexian's cooperation was already very good. After asking for the two's opinion, Xiao Yunhai handed the shooting task to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen said, "You can go over and check it out."
The two walked to the monitor screen. Zhao Zhen pulled up the scenes filmed in the past two days and stood by the side, waiting for Xiao Yunhai's evaluation.
If it was not suitable and needed to be reshot, he would lose face.
Xiao Yunhai looked at it a few times and nodded with satisfaction. "It's very good. Zhao Zhen, Teacher Ge is right. Your directing skills are very good. There are very few night scenes for If You Are the One. I'll write the script for iPartment II for you when I have nothing to do. I estimate that it will take less than a month to complete. After the filming of If You Are the One is done, you can start preparing for your own production team. You don't have to worry about the funding. I won't shortchange you. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the quality of the scenes. With iPartment I as the foundation, I think there shouldn't be any problems with the second one. By then, you'll be a new star in the directing industry. You'll have walked your path. As for how it will develop in the future, it will depend on your own efforts. "
At this moment, Zhao Zhen was extremely grateful to Xiao Yunhai. He excitedly said, "Senior, don't worry. I definitely won't embarrass you."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "I don't care. The main thing is that you don't embarrass our school. Aiya, Teacher Ge and Sister Yu are here. "
After they greeted each other, Xiao Yunhai took over the guide and continued with the boring shooting.
With Ge Wuyou and Yu Yuexian's almost zero NGs, the scenes in Hangzhou were finished in just a few days.
Xiao Yunhai was very happy. Holding the loudspeaker, he shouted, "Tonight, the crew will celebrate in stages. Tomorrow, we will move to Japan's Hokkaido. Pack your things and drink. "
"Yay!" The crew cheered.
That was what everyone loved to hear the most. This was because Xiao Yunhai had always been generous and generous. As long as it was his treat, it would definitely be good cigarettes, good wine, and good food. This was definitely a rare treat for the low-level crew members.
At eight o 'clock in the evening, Xiao Yunhai and the crew were drinking and chatting merrily. The atmosphere was unusually lively.
At the banquet, Ge Wuyou gave Xiao Yunhai a thumbs up and said, "I've been filming for more than twenty years and have been in no less than fifty film crews. In terms of filming speed and efficiency, you deserve to be number one."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "I'm afraid that Teacher Ge will follow up with 'wasting money is also number one.'"
Ge Wuyou laughed and said, "That's right. However, this can all be earned back. For the scenes in Hangzhou, the average director would need at least a month to complete, but you only used twelve days. The money you saved for eighteen days is enough for you to pay your brothers' salaries. Yunhai, your methods are indeed impressive. I have to admit that I'm impressed. "
Xiao Yunhai raised his wine glass and clinked it with Ge Wuyou's. He said, "This is all due to everyone giving me face."
Yu Yuexian asked, "Yunhai, how much do you think the box office will be? Can it be nominated for the Golden Goblet Awards? "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "Sister Yu, this kind of film has never appeared in Hua Xia before. As long as the publicity is good, two billion shouldn't be a problem. Even if it's three billion, I'm confident. As for whether it can be nominated for the Golden Goblet Awards, I think both you and Teacher Ge should be able to do it. "
Yu Yuexian said, "What about you? Haven't you thought about the Best Director Award? "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Of course I've thought about it. However, the possibility isn't high. Our film is a comedy and romance film. It's probably very difficult to enter the eyes of the Golden Goblet judges. Hur hur, what I'm concerned about is the box office. It's best if we can get an award. If we can't, it doesn't matter. "
Ge Wuyou nodded and said, "Your attitude is not bad. The biggest use of the Golden Goblet Awards is to raise the status and value of celebrities in the industry. To put it bluntly, it's fame and fortune. You don't lack these two things, so you don't have to take it to heart. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Although that's the case, it's still an honor. At the very least, my vanity has been satisfied. Isn't that right? "
Yu Yuexian laughed and said, "Then why did you give up on the Golden Goblet Music Festival?"
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "What you can't get is the best. I've already won all the awards of the Golden Goblet Music Festival. There's no point in getting a few more. Besides, the wind will destroy the tree that stands out in the forest. I don't want to be the enemy of all the musicians. "
Ge Wuyou praised, "It's a good thing that a person has talent. However, if he doesn't know how to conduct himself, then it's really bad. Such a person will get into trouble sooner or later. Yunhai, it's really not easy for you to see through fame and fortune. "
Xiao Yunhai was about to say a few words of modesty when his phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, Zhao Zhen. What's the matter?"
Two days ago, when he saw that the scenes for "If You Are the One" in Hangzhou were about to be completed, Xiao Yunhai asked Zhao Zhen to bring more than ten crew members to Japan's Hokkaido to choose a location.
"Director Xiao, something happened in the crew."
An anxious voice came from the other side of the phone. It wasn't Zhao Zhen.
Xiao Yunhai's heart skipped a beat. He frowned slightly and said, "Don't be anxious. Tell me slowly. What happened?"
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, that person took a deep breath and slowly explained the situation.
It turned out that after Zhao Zhen and the rest arrived in Hokkaido two days ago, they started looking for a filming location without stopping.
None of them could speak Japanese, so they hired a local Hua Xia to be their translator.
The search for a filming location went very smoothly. The local residents were very supportive of Zhao Zhen's work. Moreover, Zhao Zhen used money to pave the way. Therefore, it only took them two and a half days to complete the task.
The real problem was when they were recruiting extras this afternoon. It was going well, but a group of gangster-like people came out of nowhere and clamored to be extras. They even said that they had 50 to 60 brothers, and they had to take in all of them.
"If You Are the One" didn't need so many extras in Japan. Naturally, Zhao Zhen didn't agree. The two sides almost got into a fight.
Later, the nearby police came over and reduced the big problem to a small one.
But what they didn't expect was that the gangsters played dirty. They used the hotel's connections to put a prostitute into Zhao Zhen's room.
When Zhao Zhen came back and opened the door, he saw the naked woman lying on the bed and waving at Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen didn't say anything. He closed the door and went downstairs to ask the boss what was going on.
At this moment, under the guidance of the lobby manager, a few policemen arrested Zhao Zhen and brought him to the police station along with the young lady who framed him.
The crew naturally knew that Zhao Zhen was wrongly accused, but because they were unfamiliar with the place and didn't know anyone, they could only call Xiao Yunhai.
After Xiao Yunhai heard about this incident, he also felt troubled.
There were more gangsters in Japan than Hong Kong, and they were all related to the government.
Obviously, the gangsters knew the local police, and the two gangsters worked together to set up a trap for Zhao Zhen.
As long as the gangsters were inside, no matter how Zhao Zhen tried to explain, it would be useless.
According to the laws in Japan, prostitutes will be deported back to their country, and there will be a huge stain on their records.
If that's really the case, then Zhao Zhen's life will be ruined.
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said. "Don't worry. I will go over now."
Xiao Yunhai put down the phone and told Ge Wuyou what happened. "Mr. Ge, you are experienced and knowledgeable. What do you think we should do?"
Ge Wuyou thought for a while and said. "I have a classmate in the Embassy in Japan. Let's see if he can help."
Ge Wuyou took out his phone and went to a corner to discuss with his classmate.
Ten minutes later, Ge Wuyou returned. "My classmate had gone to look for a lawyer. Zhao Zhen should be fine inside. Yunhai, I think we should rush over tonight. Once this case is settled, Zhao Zhen will be finished. No one will care if he is framed or not. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded. "Alright. Mr. Ge, the two of us will go first. Mr. Geng, I will have to trouble you with the film crew. "
Geng Fuzhi nodded. "Director Xiao, don't worry."
