Chapter 243 Expenses

In a sense, the filming of film and television dramas is a process where practice makes perfect, and no one is exception.

Even experienced actors cannot avoid bumps and bumps in the beginning. After all, people are not machines, and they cannot make every mistake.

But as the shooting cooperation becomes more and more tacit, there will be fewer and fewer mistakes, and the progress of the shooting will continue to accelerate.

It's like playing a level-clearing game. When you first get started, it's easy to be accidentally touched by the soldiers. But once you become familiar with the rules and operations of the game, you can basically survive until the final boss level.

Starting from early April when the crew officially started shooting, as the plot and scenes continued to advance, it was late May in the blink of an eye.

The shooting of the snow scene has basically been completed. Except for some close-ups of the scenery that need to be re-shot, the remaining parts are only the scenes inside the research vessel.

According to the original plan, the crew planned to rent a government research vessel for filming. After all, with a little arrangement, they could shoot directly, which would save a lot of trouble.

However, due to the high cost of leasing, the negotiations between the two parties have been in a state of flux and have never been settled.

As a result, once the impact of the earthquake came out, the negotiations were forced to terminate: the research ship was arranged for disaster relief, and the crew had no choice but to give up this plan.

Therefore, the crew found a second-hand cargo ship at the port of Nemuro, decorated and arranged it according to the interior of the research ship, and it looked like that.

"Nakamura-san, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

Producer Akihiko Ishimaru followed Nakamura Masahiro step by step. After Nakamura Masahiro walked around slowly, he asked Nakamura Masahiro for his opinion.

After all, Masahiro Nakamura is the supervisor of the crew. It is up to Nakamura Masahiro to decide whether the requirements are met. He only has the power to make suggestions.

"This needs to be adjusted..."

After looking at the scene carefully, Nakamura Masahiro walked to a corner, made rough gestures with his hands, and casually complained about the producer Akihiko Ishimaru.

"During the renovation, they must have been busy rushing forward and didn't pay attention to the details at all."

"Nakamura-san, is there something wrong here?"

Ishimaru Akihiko looked at the corner where Nakamura Masahiro crossed in confusion, feeling very puzzled.

In the corner in front of you is a wall of several spliced ​​wooden boards. Because the overall color is dark orange, the traces of splicing are not very obvious.

As long as you don't pay attention deliberately, you won't be able to tell that it is a spliced ​​area, and you will only think that it is a whole.

When the workers renovated, they also completely followed the standards on the drawings. Logically speaking, there should be no problems.

However, at this time, Masahiro Nakamura found something wrong? This caught the producer Akihiko Ishimaru off guard.

"Ishimaru-senpai, don't you think there's something wrong with this color?"

Nakamura Masahiro looked at the producer Akihiko Ishimaru with inquiring eyes for a few seconds, and then lightly tapped his fingers on the wooden wall a few times. In this quiet atmosphere, the crisp sound was a bit abrupt.

"When the lighting is down, the color is obviously wrong. I remember I made a note on the drawing..."

Before renovating this second-hand freighter, Masahiro Nakamura, as the supervisor, put forward many requirements and details.

In order to avoid problems of forgetting and omissions, Masahiro Nakamura specially marked the decoration drawings.

However, judging from the situation observed in front of us, Nakamura Masahiro's meticulous work has not been effective, and the workers responsible for the decoration obviously made mistakes.

"Maybe... they didn't notice."

Ishimaru Akihiko's face looked a little ugly. He gritted his teeth and managed to squeeze out a seemingly suitable reason.

Although it was the workers responsible for decorating the cabin who made the mistake, this responsibility rests on the head of producer Akihiko Ishimaru.

Once word spreads, Ishimaru Akihiko will definitely be affected a lot: How could an experienced producer make such an obvious mistake?

"Nakamura-san, don't worry, I'll have them come over and rework it right away."

With that said, Akihiko Ishimaru walked aside, took out his mobile phone and made a call. Not long after, his rather stern voice rang out, vaguely containing some words of reprimand.

Nakamura Masahiro didn't pay attention and continued to observe along the wall. The color of the paint didn't look very obvious to the naked eye, but if the lights were on, the picture would be more inconsistent.

This is a big no-no. Fortunately, we came over for inspection and discovered this problem in advance. If we had not discovered it until the actual shooting, it would have been more time-consuming.

According to the news brought by producer Akihiko Ishimaru, the broadcast time of the Taiwanese celebration drama "Antarctica" has initially been determined.

According to the plan and arrangement of TBS TV station, it is currently scheduled for October. However, the specific time is still under negotiation.

In other words, the filming of "Antarctica" must be completely completed before August. After all, post-production also takes time.

After all this calculation, the shooting time left for Masahiro Nakamura is less than two months, which feels a bit tight.

Fortunately, Masahiro Nakamura's shooting plan was relatively detailed. Although the earthquake caused delays, he kept up with the schedule by hurrying and slowing down.

"Director Nakamura...."

Just as Masahiro Nakamura was inspecting the cabin, a slightly hasty footsteps came, followed by a figure who broke into the cabin.

"What's wrong?"

Subconsciously looking back, Nakamura Masahiro saw that the person coming was the dog trainer of the production crew, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

"Director Nakamura...."

Just as the dog trainer was about to continue speaking, he caught sight of Ishimaru Akihiko from the corner of his eye, and he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.

Akihiko Ishimaru also noticed the look on the dog trainer's face. Seeing that the other person seemed to be hiding something from him, his face was full of hesitation, and an unswerving emotion suddenly emerged in his heart.

Seeing Nakamura Masahiro's gaze, Ishimaru Akihiko couldn't say anything, so he could only make a temporary excuse and exit the cabin first.

"There's something going on. I'll go out and deal with it first."

"Okay, now we can talk..."

From the scrupulous look on the dog trainer's face when he entered the cabin, Nakamura Masahiro knew that the dog trainer's matter most likely involved producer Akihiko Ishimaru.

"The producer has gone out, there is no need to worry about it anymore."

"Supervisor Nakamura, it's actually the previous animal treatment expenses..."

A look of hesitation flashed across the dog trainer's face. He gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to speak: "When I went to the finance department for reimbursement, the finance department would not reimburse me in full."

"Not fully reimbursed?"

Slightly startled, Masahiro Nakamura asked in a confused tone: "What do you mean? Reimbursement means reimbursement, no reimbursement means no reimbursement... What's the matter with you not reimbursing all?"

"The finance side thinks that some inspections are completely unnecessary, and there is no need to do those inspections at all."

The dog trainer looked at Nakamura Masahiro's thoughtful expression, and his tone became weaker and weaker. The courage he had originally mustered up was like a balloon that had been pricked by a needle, and most of it had leaked out quietly.

"However, I think it is necessary to give Jiro a comprehensive examination. Animals are not more fragile than humans..."

"Stop, you don't have to tell me so much..."

The dog trainer's excessive words made Nakamura Masahiro feel a little noisy. He stretched out his hand to stop the other person's thoughts of continuing, and interrupted a little impatiently.

"To put it simply, you have conducted a comprehensive inspection on the animal, and some inspection items are not financially recognized...right?"

"Hi...."

The dog trainer nodded weakly and responded with a slightly solemn tone, with a slightly guilty look on his face.

Because Nakamura Masahiro's tone was rather full, the dog trainer took this opportunity to give the Birch Dog a thorough and comprehensive examination.

As for the expense reported, it was of course far beyond the normal range. No wonder the stingy specialist in charge of finance refused to acknowledge the expense.

"Under normal standards, I believe that even if the finance side has objections, they will not refuse to reimburse you."

Nakamura Masahiro raised his eyebrows, looked at the dog trainer attentively and said, "Tell me, how many examinations have you done?"

"Well...."

The dog trainer was a little afraid to look at Nakamura Masahiro. He avoided Nakamura Masahiro's gaze and responded in a low voice: "I have done almost all the projects."

"Did everything?"

Nakamura Masahiro looked a little unkind. Although he wanted to scold the other party, he still held back the words that came to his mouth.

It’s okay to take the dog for a checkup, and it’s okay to check a few more items to eliminate worries. But the dog trainer ‘has done almost everything’, which is a bit too much.

Although the crew has relatively sufficient funds, due to the delay caused by the earthquake and the scrupulous review attitude of the finance department, every expenditure is relatively cautious.

When the dog trainer acted like this, he was obviously using chicken feathers as arrows. Of course, the financial officer was not willing to reimburse him.

"You list the necessary inspection items, and I will ask the producer to say hello..."

After pausing for a moment and thinking about it, Nakamura Masahiro already had an idea. He said in an orderly manner: "As for the additional expenses, you can handle it yourself."

Although he could reimburse the other party for everything he had done, Masahiro Nakamura was not taken advantage of, so he naturally did not have the kind of overflowing kindness.

"Nakamura-san, did that dog trainer come to you to reimburse his expenses?"

As soon as the dog trainer left, producer Akihiko Ishimaru walked in quickly. Before Masahiro Nakamura could speak, he started to yell.

"You don't need to worry about him. The normal expenses will be reimbursed to him. As for the excess, let him handle it by himself."
