As the deputy director, Ning Hao watched Li Xiaole make these people obedient. He didn't know how much he admired him, but he couldn't help but curiously approach the executive producer Fang Guorong and asked:

"Producer Fang, Director Li, didn't this money really take out of his budget?"

"Yeah, it was his own." Fang Guorong nodded.

"Ah... Director Li is really courageous." Ning Hao looked at Li Xiaole with admiration, but his heart was sweating at the same time.

Fang Guorong also sighed in his heart. He admired and was both amused and funny for Li Xiaole's decision. It is very rare for a young man to be enthusiastic about movies, but as a director, it seems extremely unwise to pay for money. In the film and television industry, there is a special rule in the profession of director, that is, never invest in movies you shoot yourself.

It sounds incredible. Is the director not more attentive to invest in filming? But if you know a little bit, you will know the truth. This is just like the reason that a surgeon will never perform surgery on his relatives. Once you invest in a film, your gains and losses in the play will seriously affect the shooting level and lose the ability to make rational judgments in normal times.

And more importantly, if the investment fails, the director will leave an indelible shadow on the film works, which is extremely terrible for the life of directors' art. Even Spielberg cannot guarantee that his own film department will make money. Commercial movies have the rules of commercial movies.

Fang Guorong wrote down the evaluation of "impulsive, aggressive" in his notebook, but he felt very sorry. Alas, if this movie cannot recover the box office, I hope this young man can regroup...

****

As "Crazy Stone" began filming, Li Xiaole's life began to enter the high-speed operation mode again. He personally took pictures every day, directing various departments to complete the shooting plan one by one.

It has to be said that although there are still a few years left before the filming of "Crazy Stone" in his previous life, whether it is the "Dao Ge" Liu Ye, Huang Bo, Yue Xiaojun, the thief trio, or the "Four Eyes" Wang Xun and Xu Zheng of Feng's Xu Zheng, and even Peng Bo, who plays Xie Xiaomeng, all have reached the expected state of Li Xiaole.

Sun Honglei and Sun Li completely subvert the original style. Although the script logic arrangement of "Crazy Stone" is particularly interesting, the main line seems a little weak, because there are too many outstanding characters, but the supporting roles are more memorable.

After half a month of continuous Zen training, Sun Honglei has already felt like he was reborn. At least in the role of Bao Shihong, he has reached the level of ease of lifting weight.

Once, when he was playing a scene where he was stolen from a stone, Bao Shihong checked the video on the surveillance station. Because he had to express his scattered eyes that he had not been sleeping for several days, he wanted to give a close-up.

If it were before, no matter how much Sun Honglei relaxed, there would be a sense of evil in his eyes in the close-up. But after this filming, Sun Honglei went to the monitor and looked at the confused and completely relaxed eyes. He was so happy that he could not stop talking about his ears. He hugged Ning Hao's shoulders and only enjoyed:

"Yes~ Deputy Director Ning, I thought the meditation you taught me was useless, but I didn't expect it to be effective. Look at my eyes, do you look like a Bodhisattva?"

"That's right, otherwise you think we intellectuals have broken brains and just sit there in a daze at the Buddha statue for no reason?" Ning Hao smiled proudly, but his eyes unconsciously looked at Li Xiaole.

To be honest, although he is a Buddhist himself, this is the first time he has heard that director Li is so young, how can he know so much? It seems that as long as it is about film and television, he doesn't know anything.

What is even more surprising is that although the story of Sun Li, who plays Jingjing, is originally very good, but it is mainly male, which makes the movie lose some magic. Due to the appearance of Sun Li, the whole story seems much more vivid. However, the sequelae is that Sun Li, who is charming in the film, has become the target of all single men in the crew competing for favor. Every day, as long as she is there, the drinks and snacks in front of her never stop.

Sun Li is particularly kind and considerate. She is very polite and polite to everyone who treats her well. She distributed all the snacks and drinks that everyone gave him to other seniors in the crew, which made the other people in the crew feel better and better about her.

Although everything went smoothly, after the rest of the filming of a scene that day, Li Xiaole, Ning Hao, Lao Jiangtou, and Fang Guorong sat together to watch the just-shot clip. No matter how you look, how could you feel that something was almost done.

The effects were all taken, but I felt that the beauty was not enough, but everyone could not say anything about it.

"Lao Jiang, is your subordinates not attentive?" Fang Guorong pointed the finger at Lao Jiangtou when he couldn't find the reason.

"Producer Fang, don't talk nonsense." Lao Jiang said unhappily with his dim eyes: "Let me tell you, although Lao Jiang has a bad reputation in the factory, the team I lead can withstand in business, and they are definitely 100% attentive."

"Have attentive? Then why is the filming so awkward?" Fang Guorong frowned and said, "I don't believe that the people you brought are only at this level. You have participated in "The Opium War" directed by Xie Jin before. Why can you and Xie Jin produce such a good effect? ​​The level of the second studio has plummeted?"

"Then what's wrong with me at this level?" Lao Jiangtou had a scary face, so he simply closed his eyes and stopped talking.

"You..." Fang Guorong didn't expect that Lao Jiangtou was so rogue, and he had no choice but to do anything to him for a moment.

Seeing the atmosphere was so stiff, Ning Hao, a younger generation, couldn't even get into the mouth. However, Li Xiaole kept thinking about something. He could feel that the people in the crew were really very devoted, and the strings were very tight. In terms of professionalism, it was not worse than those in the Korean side. But in terms of one plus one was less than two, and there was no chemical reaction in the Korean crew before.

What exactly is the problem? Li Xiaole looked back at the Zhongying employees who were busy on the scene, and everyone was very focused on doing their own things... Where was the deviation? After careful observation, he suddenly found that the people behind Zhongying all had a common characteristic, which was that they looked "threatening". Whether they were lamp-mounted, radio-received, or busy laying tracks, their expressions were very painful, and they seemed to be patient.

Many people outside the circle dream of making a movie, but how did these people do this in such a painful way? This is a comedy... What is made in this state is naturally awkward.

Li Xiaole finally understood the reason, so he clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, everyone stop for a while, take a break first. Come and sit down."

When everyone heard the shout, they all breathed a sigh of relief and thought that they could finally rest. Li Xiaole directed the yard worker to move the bench away and spread newspapers on the ground, so that Fang Guorong, Lao Jiangtou, and Ning Hao would sit together in a large circle with everyone.

"Director~ Do you want to see us too tired? You want to sing with us~" Sun Li looked at the joke with a smile, and everyone started to laugh.

"Everything is serious~" Lao Jiangtou snorted coldly, looked around and said loudly: "Do you know or not, you can't use the things you shot, and you are still smiling here. The director wants to give you a lecture." He shouted out the sulk that he had just been with Fang Guorong.

Lao Jiang roared, and everyone immediately did not dare to speak, and each lowered his head.

"Okay, Lao Jiang, I'll do it." Li Xiaole smiled and comforted Lao Jiangtou, then turned to everyone and said:

"I think everyone knows that we have not performed well during this period, and the actors have performed well. I also know that each of you is very attentive, but the effect is not good. Do you know the reason?"

Everyone was silent, but they didn't dare to speak, but they looked very entangled.

"Yes, it's this expression." Li Xiaole smiled and pointed at everyone: "You always had this expression when you worked, so what you shot is not good. We are a comedy, you can't use the bitterness of filming revolutionary scenes, right?"

Li Xiaole's humorous and relaxed tone, and everyone below was amused. Liu Daniel, the leader of the prop group, asked back with a smile: "Director, you are fooling us again. We are socialist materialists. Even if we have a deep grudge, it has nothing to do with our work. You really can't blame us~"

"Yes~ Director, you can't blame us for everything~~" "We are not lazy~"

"Okay, let me give you an analogy." Li Xiaole saw the atmosphere became lively, and his tone also relaxed, pointing at Liu Da's nose and said, "Old Liu, have you learned love letters to your lover when you were young? Have you ever said stingy words?"

"This... seems to have never said it..." Liu Da's face turned red and he stuttered.

"Liu Dabi, don't lie. When you first entered Beijing Film Academy, you wrote love letters to your sister-in-law every day to send them to their office. What a dear little dolphin, you swam in my heart for another day today, which disrupted my heart..." An acquaintance immediately laughed and started to cheer.

Everyone laughed loudly, Liu Daniel also broke the news in public, and even tilted his neck and shouted: "I wrote it~ So what's wrong? Lao Zhang, you were chasing your wife at that time and kissing her in the factory~"

Everyone was excited and screaming and cheering, laughing happily. Li Xiaole made a quiet gesture and said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
