Entertaining Children

"Oh? Really?" Lin Jingliang looked at Xiao Yao with a smile, "I believe that if you pay enough, you can indeed bring a professional construction team here to build a house, but that village is a remote place after all, waiting for your contact Alright, how long will it take to pull the team over? When will the manpower and materials be in place? The time you asked for is so tight, this cannot be solved with money.”

"Okay, I'm falling for Meng Lang again." Xiao Yao scratched his head embarrassedly by Lin Jingliang, "It's just like this, I built several hope primary schools in Wuyou County, Sichuan Province before, and didn't I donate the money to The local government or a charity organization hired a construction company to build a house there.”

"You still find someone to cover the Hope Primary School?" Lin Jingliang interjected in surprise, "Wuyou County in Sichuan Province? The place where the earthquake happened a few years ago?"

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "I participated in rescue activities during the earthquake, and contributed a little to the reconstruction after the disaster."

"I only know that you have placed more than a thousand pianos in public areas in big cities. It seems that you have never heard of this matter being reported by the media. Do you keep it secret?" Lin Jingliang asked with a smile.

"It's not important," Xiao Yao waved his hand. "What's important is that Wuyou County is surrounded by high-altitude mountainous areas, and the school was built in a relatively remote village. At that time, my team was looking for a company that was very good at building in the mountains. The construction company of the house. Through that cooperation, my team, mainly my agent, has a good relationship with that company, and it shouldn’t be a big problem to temporarily ask them to send a few technicians over as soon as possible.”

"It's not difficult for a company to temporarily dispatch a few technicians, but what about the workers and materials?" Lin Jingliang said, "As far as I know, in the construction industry in China, construction companies are looking for contractors, and workers are hired by contractors." If you want to pull out a team of construction workers, I'm afraid it won't be possible in just a few days, right?"

"In terms of workers and materials, I plan to solve them on the spot." Xiao Yao said, "I know that many houses in rural areas are built by the villagers themselves. A village, at most plus a few nearby villages, can usually be found. Workers of various types of work needed to build a house. In terms of materials, they themselves know what kind of materials are the most cost-effective to build a house on their own land, and generally have their own sources of materials."

"We're going to find a place in the village to borrow a place for filming, or we can hand over the building of the house to the villagers in the village. It's not the busy season for farming. I believe there should be people in the village, and they should be willing to make the money." Xiao Yao Finally, "We invite the technicians of the construction company to be the guide and backbone to ensure the quality of the house and meet your requirements. We invite the villagers to be the workers and buy materials through the channels of the villagers to fully mobilize the local forces and save time. So If you do, you should be able to build the house in a month, right?"

"Since you have considered everything, then do as you say!" Lin Jingliang smiled,

"Today and tomorrow, I will make the drawings and requirements of the school house. When you have a discussion with the people in the village tomorrow, we will start work as soon as possible."

After agreeing with Lin Jingliang, Xiao Yao left Lin Jingliang's room, went to find Fang Yiran again, and told her his plan.

Fang Yiran was solely responsible for Xiao Yao’s construction of Hope Elementary School in Wuyou County back then. He had never had contact with the construction company responsible for the project. This time, if he needed to find them, Fang Yiran had to come forward. .

But now it is relatively late, Xiao Yao just explained to Fang Yiran in advance, and did not ask Fang Yiran to contact the construction company now. After negotiating with the villagers tomorrow, You Fang still contacted the construction company to hire someone.

The next morning, Xiao Yao and his party came to Dahebao Village again under the leadership of the guide Alatan.

Qingshuihe County is close to the border of Jin Province. Alatan is very familiar with this area and can speak not only Mongolian, but also the dialect of Jin Province. When I went to talk to the villagers about renting the venue, Alatan, a local, was also the introducer and took everyone to find it.

The venue that Xiao Yao and Lin Jingliang wanted to rent was in the village. For this kind of thing, they went directly to the village committee to find the village head or the village party secretary. When everyone arrived at the village committee, they found that there was no one in the village committee, so they went directly to the village chief's house under the instructions of the villagers.

The village head is a middle-aged man in his fifties. After hearing that Xiao Yao and the others explained their intentions, he acted very novel. Their village is very remote and relatively poor. People of his age in the village only watched movies shown on the open-air curtain in the village's grain drying field in the early years. What's up with the movie.

But it doesn't matter if you don't know what making a movie is. Xiao Yao and the others understand very clearly what they mean by renting the land in the village. The village head knew the places in the village well, so Dang even asked Xiao Yao and the others to take him to the place they wanted to see.

When they came to the place that Xiao Yao and the others met, after listening to Xiao Yao’s introduction, the village chief found out that the place they wanted to rent was an idle and useless slope in the village, he immediately waved his hand and said no problem, and gave the village some money Or the benefits are fine, it seems that there is no bargaining at all.

Later, when Xiao Yao and the others continued to say that they would hire villagers to build a house on that sloping land, the materials would also be bought through the village, and when the finished film could be given to the village after the filming, the village chief waved his hand, Even the cost of renting the venue was waived for them.

The performance of the village chief made Xiao Yao and his party feel a little overjoyed. Xiao Yao, who felt a little too smooth, carefully inquired about the village party secretary in the village, and asked the village chief if he wanted to ask the village party secretary for his opinion.

In Huaxia, the village is the most basic administrative unit, and there are two main leaders. Among them, the village director, commonly known as the village head, is elected by the villagers, and the village party secretary is elected by the members of the village party branch. The village head leads the work of the village, and the village party secretary guides the work and is responsible for the supervision of the village head and the village committee. Xiao Yao was afraid that the village head had promised well, but if the village party secretary disagreed later, this matter was still useless.

When the village chief heard Xiao Yao ask about the village party secretary, he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. It turned out that the village party secretary in this village was the son of the village chief. In the village, he, the village head, basically had the final say. Xiao Yao and the others used a piece of unused land in the village to ask the villagers to help build the house, let the villagers earn wages, and gave the house to the village when they left. Such a great thing cannot be snatched away by other villages. People will have opinions.

Now that the village head said so, Xiao Yao immediately asked the village head to go to the village committee to sign an agreement to finalize the matter.

Before coming, Xiao Yao and the others had already drawn up a template for the agreement. Take it out and fill in all the conditions, and then ask the village chief to stamp the official seal of the village committee, and the matter will be considered settled.

The matter of renting the site is settled, and the next thing is to build the house.

Since Lin Jingliang's plans and requirements for the house have not been fully completed, and the budget for the project cannot be made for the time being, it is impossible to sign the contract now. However, Xiao Yao saw that the village head attached great importance to building a house, so he gave him a reassurance.

No matter how a house is built, building materials and workers are needed. Xiao Yao paid the village chief 10,000 yuan in cash as a deposit on the spot, and asked the village chief to find someone to help them contact some building material suppliers and prepare some materials. In addition, he called the people in the village who have house-building skills to prepare first. When their design plan is completed and the technicians are in place, contact them immediately to start work.

Seeing a bundle of red banknotes in front of him, the village head was very happy, and his affection for Xiao Yao and others also increased greatly. Seeing that the time was close to noon, he enthusiastically invited Xiao Yao and his party to his house for dinner, saying that he was going to kill a sheep at noon, and entertain them well.

Lin Jingliang wanted to rush out the design drawings of the house, Fang still had to contact the construction company, and Xiao Yao suddenly felt that time was running short. He needed to set up a crew as soon as possible, and people from the film and television company had to follow up with the budget and further follow-up work. Everyone is not very interested in such things as eating and inviting.

Xiao Yao and the others thanked them again and again, and asked the village head to write them a deposit receipt. After exchanging contact information with the village head, the group set off to return.

For Lin Jingliang's set design, Xiao Yao, the director, will do the final review. After returning to Qingshuihe County, Xiao Yao didn't return to Shencheng immediately to set up the crew, but went to the room with Lin Jingliang to make the school's design drawings. Of course, it was mainly Lin Jingliang who did it, and Xiao Yao watched from the side, expressing some of his own opinions from time to time. After the pattern is done, Xiao Yao must be satisfied.

That night, Lin Jingliang completed the overall design of the school, and then began to design the interior decoration and furniture. Two days later, technicians from the construction company arrived in Qingshuihe County. Taking Lin Jingliang's design drawings, he went to Dahebao Village to have a look at the site. After measuring some data, he talked with the village chief about the price of materials and labor, and then began to make a project budget.

Xiao Yao no longer participated in these matters, and handed them over to the technicians from the construction company and the employees from the financial and business departments of the film and television company he brought to carry out the specific operations.

Seeing the project budget they handed in, Xiao Yao found that the total did not exceed his expectations by much, and he didn't bother to bargain with the villagers, so he agreed with a wave of his hand.

In the past two days, the village has done a lot of preparatory work, booked a lot of materials, and the capable workers have also dealt with the work at hand, and are waiting to start work. As soon as Xiao Yao agreed, the film and television company in Shencheng transferred the money to the special account for the film project, and the work started immediately.

During the process of building the house, Xiao Yao, Lin Jingliang and others did not need to supervise the whole process. The two just went to the site to have a look two days before the start of construction, and saw that the construction site was orderly and in full swing, so they put aside their work for the time being. Leaving the two employees brought by the film and television company to stare here as representatives of the crew, Xiao Yao and Lin Jingliang took their respective teams of five people and set off back to Shanghai.

After returning to Shanghai, Xiao Yao and Lin Jingliang began to form the crew intensively.

For the behind-the-scenes departments such as clothing, chemical, road, lighting, photography, etc., Lin Jingliang first conducted interviews and interviews, and finally made a decision with Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao needs to find two assistant directors to share his work first, and hand over the selection of actors such as scene recorders, drivers, and other department personnel that have little to do with art, as well as actors, extras, etc., to the assistant director and the film and television company. It was decided together with some administrative personnel of the crew. In addition to making final decisions with Lin Jingliang on the final meeting with Lin Jingliang's favorite person from the art-related department, the most important thing is the audition for the main actors.

During the time in Qingshuihe County, Xiao Yao also made some investigations on the local conditions. The climatic and environmental conditions of living, eating, traveling, and filming locations are roughly what they will be like by then. After returning to Shencheng from Qingshuihe County, Xiao Yao also gave the conditions during the shooting to the casting studio, and asked them to communicate with the candidate actors again based on these conditions and the new shooting time plan. Acceptable actors , you can schedule a role audition. As for the audition time, it will start in three days and try to finish all arrangements within two weeks.

It took three days to determine the two assistant directors, and together with Lin Jingliang, finalized the photography team and props team of the crew, and sent these two teams to Dahebao Village to familiarize themselves with the environment in advance, Xiao Yao began to work on the production of the main actors. The audition worked.

Since the casting work in the early stage was handed over to the casting studio, the location of the audition was also in that casting studio.

The time required for an actor's audition is not certain, and can only be roughly estimated, so the date of the actor's audition is fixed, but the time of the audition is not so accurate. However, at least the audition time of the first audition actor every day can be stipulated.

On the first day, the first audition actor arrived earlier than the time notified by the casting studio, and Xiao Yao arrived on time. The casting studio prepared a special audition room for Xiao Yao, and set up the required cameras in advance. After Xiao Yao arrived with people, the audition work began.

The first actor to audition was Yang Zhiqing, who was in his fifties, and the role he auditioned for was Sun Henghai, the principal in the movie.

Yang Zhiqing is an old actor with rich acting experience. It's just that he usually mainly plays dramas. Although he has also participated in film and television works, he basically plays some small supporting roles, and his popularity among ordinary people is not high. But Xiao Yao knew that Teacher Yang was not only a national first-class actor, but also a painter, a member of the Huaxia Dramatists Association and Artists Association, and he could definitely be called an old artist with very high performance skills and self-cultivation.

Xiao Yao knew that the first actor to audition today was Yang Zhiqing. When he arrived at the casting studio, he didn't rush to the audition room to wait for Yang Zhiqing to come in for an audition, but he took the initiative to go to the waiting room to greet Yang Zhiqing first.

"Hello, Teacher Yang, I'm Xiao Yao, the producer and director of this film," Xiao Yao offered to extend his hand to Yang Zhiqing, bowed and said hello, "My film can attract teachers like you to audition. I feel very honored!"

"Really?" Yang Zhiqing chuckled, and shook hands with Xiao Yao, "Then, isn't my role guaranteed? Is today's audition just a formality?"

"That won't work!" Xiao Yao immediately shook his head and said, "You are a senior, and I am a junior. Now I come here to say hello to you, to express my respect to you. But after entering the audition room, I will be the director. In my eyes, I am an actor who came to audition. If I think your performance is not suitable for the role of Principal Sun in the movie, no matter how much I respect you, I will not give you this role hastily. I have to be responsible for my own work !"

"Okay!" Yang Zhiqing laughed, patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder and said, "This is what a director should look like! Regardless of age or seniority, in a film crew, the director is the biggest!"
