Pei Shaoze came to the crew to visit the class, which has become the focus of the audience. The scene of him walking over to chat with Cheng Xia quickly caught the attention of the staff. Many curious eyes were aimed at this side. Everyone seemed to be guessing that Mr. Pei What is the relationship between Cheng Xia, why did you chat with Cheng Xia alone
Cheng Xia was very uncomfortable with the searching eyes around, so he lowered his head and pretended to sort out the fast food.
Pei Shaoze noticed Cheng Xia's embarrassment, and took the initiative to give him a step: "You eat first, I'll go over there to see."
The man turned to leave, and Cheng Xia exhaled softly.
President Pei was very close to him just now, his heartbeat accelerated for no reason, and it was difficult to even breathe. For some reason, he can't help but get nervous when he is alone with this Alpha, and he doesn't feel that way when he is with other Alphas. Cheng Xia thought about it carefully, the biggest possibility was that he had lost control of pheromones in front of Pei Shaoze. He lay on Pei Shaoze's bed with nothing on that night, pestering the other party to ask for a mark... Of course I was embarrassed to see President Pei.
The thought of this made Cheng Xia embarrassed. He simply didn't think about it, and turned to go out with a bag of takeaways.
The filming site has limited space, so Director Zhang asked the school leaders to borrow a conference room, let everyone in to eat, and warned: "You go to the house to eat, remember to take away the garbage after eating!"
Cheng Xia entered the room and found that the agent was also there, so he consciously sat next to Zhou Yan and called out with a smile, "Sister Yan."
Zhou Yan asked casually, "What is Mr. Pei talking about with you?"
Cheng Xia explained honestly: "I just talked about the piano for a while. President Pei said that he also learned the piano."
Zhou Yan said "oh" and was very puzzled - just now, Boss Pei stood outside the window and stared at Cheng Xia, and she took the initiative to chat with Cheng Xia after entering the house. She thought that Boss Pei treated Cheng Xia differently. However, President Pei only had a brief chat with Cheng Xia and then turned to look for Chen Yijun. It seems that chatting with Cheng Xia is just the boss cares about the employees casually
President Pei's attitude is really unpredictable, Zhou Yan simply gave up guessing, and said softly: "Director Zhang is quite satisfied with this scene just now, but he wants to keep improving and shoot it again in the afternoon, and there will be more in post-production. The material can be edited.”
Cheng Xia said understandingly: "It should be." He was a newcomer, and he didn't expect to be able to go through it all over again.
The people around opened the lunch boxes, and the smell of food wafted in the house. Cheng Xia was really hungry, so he focused on the food. Braised chicken legs, tomato brisket, snow peas, fish-flavored shredded pork... all his favorite dishes!
Cheng Xia ate with relish and looked satisfied.
***
Outside the door, Pei Shaoze held up a big umbrella and walked into the snow.
Zhang Fan followed behind Boss Pei suspiciously. Boss Pei didn't go with the crew after lunch. This is normal. You can't stand by and watch others eat, right? However, on a snowy day, what does he mean by walking around the school with an umbrella
Aware of Zhang Fan's doubts, Pei Shaoze suddenly asked, "What do you think of the scenery at Seventeen Middle School?"
Zhang Fan hurriedly replied: "Among all the middle schools in Rongcheng, No.7 Middle School ranks the top three in greening, especially the snow scene in winter, which is not comparable to many universities." So you are walking in the snow and enjoying the scenery? Zhang Fan did not dare to ask further.
Pei Shaoze stopped in front of a lake and looked into the distance.
The environment of Seventeen Middle School is really good. There is a large artificial lake on the campus. In winter, the lake is covered with thick layers of ice, and the snow like goose feathers falls one after another. It's like being in a fairy tale world.
If the camera shoots from the air, the picture must be beautiful, and it can be used to make a snow scene promotional video.
However, the winter vacation is only one month in February, and the school will start on March 1. Once the school starts, the filming of the crew will affect the students' learning, and the school will definitely not agree. If the filming is over during the holidays, the time will be rushed... But if you pay attention to the progress, you will be able to make it in time.
Pei Shaoze frowned and pondered. After a while, he took out his mobile phone and took a video of the surroundings, and sent it to the director Liu Xueyi who had just added a friend: "Director Liu, there are many stories in the novel "Folding Paper" that happened in winter. Take a look at a snow scene in the Seventeenth Middle School. If we shoot in the Seventeenth Middle School, what do you think the effect will be?"
Liu Xueyi did not expect that the contract had just been signed at noon, and the producer actually went to inspect the shooting location in the afternoon? Is this Pei Shaoze a workaholic? He opened the video curiously and glanced at it, and immediately replied: "It's so beautiful! Compared with the snow scene fabricated with foam, the actual scene is many times better! It's just that Seventeen Middle School is a key middle school, and the principal will allow us to enter the school to shoot dramas. ?"
Pei Shaoze said: "I will solve this problem."
After he finished typing this message, he sent another sentence: "We have to hurry up and ask Mr. Xu to write a plot synopsis and an outline of the episode for the record as soon as possible. The actors will be appointed this month, and the machine will start after the Spring Festival. Director Liu is here. Is there a problem with time?"
Liu Xueyi and Xu Moran were in the waiting hall waiting for the flight to take off. They flew in from out of town yesterday to have an interview with President Pei, and booked today's tickets to go home. He showed his mobile phone to his friend, and Xu Moran couldn't help but widen his eyes: "After the Spring Festival, you are in such a hurry to start the phone?" Liu Xueyi said seriously: "Just say if you can get it done within three days. It was handed over to the General Administration of Radio, Film and Television for filing, and then It's not a finalized script, it's not difficult for you to write a plot outline, right?"
Xu Muran gritted his teeth: "of course if you work overtime!"
Liu Xueyi replied: "Mr. Pei, Xiao Xu and I have no problem. However, won't the Spring Festival be too rushed?"
Pei Shaoze said: "If we miss this holiday, once the school starts, it will be difficult for us to borrow the venue."
Liu Xueyi agreed: "That's right, then Xiao Xu and I will work overtime these days to drive out the plot outline first. The script can be carefully polished while selecting actors!"
Pei Shaoze said: "I plan to use drones to shoot from the air. Taking advantage of the recent snowfall in Rongcheng, I will finish filming all the winter parts in the script. Then, the whole crew will shoot the summer parts in Ya'an City, South China. There are green trees and flowers everywhere now, and shooting summer scenes will not violate the harmony.”
Liu Xueyi and Xu Moran looked at each other.
That is to say, all the exterior scenes of this show have to be shot in real locations
In the past, Liu Xueyi's low-cost online dramas were all shot in a studio. All kinds of beautiful scenery were actually a canvas. The protagonist was acting in front of the green screen. To be honest, even after post-processing, it still looked a kind of shoddy cheap. sense.
The real scene is of course good, but it is also expensive!
For the entire crew in Feiya'an City, food, housing, and travel are all money. There is an extra charge for borrowing public venues. The extras are also a lot of expenses. This is no longer the norm for ordinary online dramas, right
Liu Xueyi couldn't help but said, "The funds..."
Pei Shaoze said: "Tianxuan gave 10 million yuan, and I will pull in at least 5 million more investment. The cost of publicity and service of this drama can be saved, and the newcomer's salary is not high, and 80% of the money is spent on filming. Come on, is that enough?"
Liu Xueyi was so excited that he almost dropped his phone: "Enough, enough!"
15 million to shoot a youth campus online drama, 80% of which is used for filming, this is not only enough, this is more than enough! It doesn't make sense that others can shoot at 5 million, and they can't shoot at 15 million!
Pei Shaoze said: "Thank you for working overtime these days, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions."
Liu Xueyi was full of fighting spirit: "Okay, President Pei, we will pack our bags when we go back, and go to Rongcheng to retreat and change the script!"
After finishing the conversation, Pei Shaoze turned around and walked in the other direction.
He wanted to examine the environment of Seventeen Middle School again.
At the last Tianxuan meeting, he told shareholders that the investment of each group below 10 million can be decided directly by the team leader. Once it exceeds 10 million, it must be discussed at the company meeting.
This sentence is actually quite enlightening. The team leader's investment does not exceed 10 million, which does not mean that the investment of a drama should be limited to 10 million - because the team leader can also pull investment from the outside with his ability.
With Pei Shaoze's connections and his rich second-generation friends, it is not difficult to get millions of investment. Not to mention advertisers, sponsors and other fields that he has not yet been exposed to. Once the doors in these fields are opened, he does not need the approval of other executives of the company for any drama he wants to make in the future. And once the drama he invested in exploded, would he still be afraid of bad money in the future
It is estimated that a lot of sponsors will be rushing to throw money at him.
Zhang Fan finally knew the reason why President Pei visited the school with an umbrella. He came to No. 17 Middle School not only to visit the class, but also to inspect the shooting scene of the next campus drama. He killed two birds with one stone, and the plan was meticulous. No wonder he worked so efficiently!
At this time, in the office.
Cheng Xia had already finished his lunch. The set meal consisted of five dishes, but the amount was small and refined. Besides, the 18-year-old boy was just growing up. He ate all the dishes and cleaned up the fruits, except for the dried fruit bags and milk tea. Unpack.
Cheng Xia neatly packed the lunch box, got up and wanted to take out the garbage outside. Assistant Sister Rong took the garbage bag and helped him pour the milk tea into the thermos cup, smiling: "You can find it anytime in the afternoon when you want to drink it. I, drink hot!"
Cheng Xia thanked and went out to breathe.
As soon as he walked out the door, he saw President Pei in the distance.
Pei Shaoze was wearing a long coat and a large black umbrella. He was tall and straight, and his steps were calm. The handsome man walked slowly from the vast snow. From a distance, he looked like a rich ink painting full of The depression and coldness of winter.
Cheng Xia stared blankly into the distance, unable to look away for a while.
A gust of cold wind mixed with snowflakes rushed towards him. Cheng Xia suddenly remembered that the night he was in a state of embarrassment, it also snowed heavily when Pei Shaoze sent him home. Pei Shaoze was worried that he would catch a cold and gave him a down jacket.
The warmth of the thick clothes on the body seems to remain in my heart forever.
He sometimes couldn't help thinking, what would he do if he was replaced by another Alpha and forcibly marked him that night? Or, the other party looked at him with contempt, regarded him as a scheming Omega who relied on the boss, and asked him to get out of Tianxuan, how should he deal with himself
But none of that happened. Pei Shaoze handled the matter in the gentlest way, without leaving any shadow on Cheng Xia. It's like an older brother graciously forgives a child's inadvertent mistakes and never mentions it again.
It really gave Cheng Xia enough face and dignity.
President Pei seems to be cold, but he is actually a very gentle person...
When Cheng Xia thought of this, Pei Shaoze had already walked up to him.
The teenager was in a daze, and Pei Shaoze skipped the line "Cheng Xia's favorability to you +5".
The little seedling grew an inch taller by itself
Pei Shaoze asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"
Cheng Xia came back to his senses, there was no one around, his cheeks were slightly hot, and in a volume that only each other could hear, he whispered, "I was thinking, how can I pay you back the down jacket you borrowed from me? Would you like to express it directly?"
Pei Shaoze nodded: "Okay, I'll send your address via WeChat, you can send it to me another day."
Both of them deliberately lowered their voices, as if to say... a secret that only they know.
The down jacket, and the night they slept in the same bed, were indeed secrets that only they knew.
This feeling of whispering made Cheng Xia's heart beat like a drum, and he hurriedly changed the subject: "Where did Mr. Pei go?"
Pei Shaoze said: "I checked the environment of Seventeen Middle School, and it is quite suitable for shooting snow scenes."
Shooting snow scenes? The campus drama that Mr. Pei said he would invest in had a lot of winter snowy episodes in it. Could it be that in addition to visiting the class today, President Pei also has to inspect the shooting venue
Pei Shaoze saw through Cheng Xia's thoughts, nodded and said, "It's that school drama, how are you preparing?"
Cheng Xia immediately became serious, and said obediently as if answering a teacher's question: "I went back and read the original book again, and I want to read it at least three times to carefully study the character and psychological changes of the protagonist."
"Original?" Pei Shaoze raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Well, I went to the bookstore to buy the book myself." Cheng Xia smiled a little shyly, "Just looking at the outline and characters always feel that it is not comprehensive enough. After reading the original book, I have a deeper understanding of the characters in the book. Some."
Pei Shaoze was very relieved to hear what Cheng Xia said. He thought that Cheng Xia would, like most artists, only read the information given by the agent, but he didn't expect the little guy to be quite clever, so he bought the original book and read the full text.
Although Pei Shaoze chose this original book based on Cheng Xia's characteristics, Cheng Xia would definitely choose the protagonist, if nothing else.
However, having the cake ready and giving it to him directly, and letting him get this cake through hard work and himself, are two completely different experiences. Pei Shaoze didn't want to directly throw resources to Cheng Xia. He hoped that Cheng Xia could enjoy the process of "working hard, harvesting success, and stepping down to the top step by step".
This process is the most important.
Every time he talks about work, Cheng Xia is very serious. He admires such a serious and hard-working young man. Looking at the clear eyes of the young man, Pei Shaoze said warmly: "The opportunity is only for those who are ready, go back and study it well, the audition time should be fixed soon."
Cheng Xia nodded vigorously: "Well, thank you, President Pei!"
At this moment, Chen Yijun just came out and saw that President Pei and Cheng Xia were chatting, she couldn't help joking: "President Pei, are you here to visit my class? How did you catch our little Cheng Xia and keep talking? what!"
Pei Shaoze didn't take her jokes and said calmly, "Yijun, besides visiting the class today, I have something else I want to ask you for help with."
Chen Yijun looked surprised: "What help?"
"You can borrow the venue of Seventeen Middle School to shoot the MV. Your relationship with the principal is not bad, right?"
"Well, I graduated from the Seventeenth Middle School. The current principal happened to be my head teacher." Chen Yijun looked at Pei Shaoze suspiciously, "Why, does President Pei have anything to do with our principal?"
Pei Shaoze nodded: "Please go back and tell the principal, I have a school drama that I would like to shoot in the Seventeenth Middle School. Besides the framing, a large number of extras are needed. If possible, I hope the principal can cooperate with us. When the time comes, I will find some students of the right age to perform in a group. As for the cost, I will personally discuss with the principal.”
Filming a TV series at Seventeen? This is also a kind of publicity for the alma mater. Chen Yijun immediately agreed: "No problem, I will make an appointment to introduce you to meet when I look back. I also think the scenery of my alma mater is beautiful!"
After saying this, Pei Shaoze walked into the studio and said goodbye to Director Zhang: "Director Zhang, I still have something to do, so I won't bother you here."
Director Zhang said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Pei, on behalf of the staff, thank you for your concern!"
Pei Shaoze said a few words of courtesy to the crew, and when he walked to the door, he looked back at Cheng Xia. The young boy happened to be looking at him, and the two looked at him. Cheng Xia immediately looked away embarrassedly, and politely said, "Goodbye, Mr. Pei. ."
Pei Shaoze nodded at him and turned to go out.
Goodbye, Cheng Xia. The next time we meet will probably be auditioning, I hope you can give me some surprises.
