My movie scared the global audience to tears

Song Qi spent three days writing the draft of the script, handed it to Xiao Ran to start the project and run the program, and then started working non-stop with Paul Ma.

There is a lot of preparation work to be done before filming begins.

For example, draw a draft of the shots based on the script, make a rough budget, find shooting locations, conduct on-site scouting, rent photography equipment, interview actors, hire professional staff from photography, lighting, art and other groups, hold script seminars, etc.

Song Qi had to do all these things personally.

There was no way, the five million investment, even if he had a system to handle the later stages, was still too little. He had to make sure that the money was spent wisely.

Fortunately, Xiao Ma was there to help. Although this guy looked unreliable and had no say in his words, he had a wide network of contacts. He took care of everything about equipment, actors, and crew members. Song Qi couldn't help him.

Be less busy.

Although Xiaoran is a newcomer, he is smart and willing to learn. The project approval process was quickly completed. He successfully applied for a filming license and the company's money was approved and transferred to the public account card.

After a month of intense preparations, Song Qi finally gathered a crew and boarded a flight to Pony's hometown - Queensland City, Osfluia Province.

More than half of the scenes in "Jaws" were shot at sea, and the Gold Coast, one of the top ten beaches in the world, is located in Queensland.

Xiao Ma has come back early and arranged all the accommodation.

The crew's funds are limited, so they can only stay in the most ordinary B&Bs, which saves a lot of money.

However, the staff members didn't have any objections. They traveled far and wide with the crew, and sometimes they even had to sleep in the wilderness. At least there was a decent house to live in here, which was good.

After all, once you start shooting, you are usually busy day and night. Arranging a hotel is just to give everyone a place to sleep and wash up. After all, no one will stay in the hotel for a long time.

However, Zhao Yi, the male protagonist of the film crew, was extremely dissatisfied with the accommodation conditions. When he came to the B&B and saw the environment, he refused to get out of the car no matter what.

"Brother Qi, that Zhao Yi has to change to a five-star hotel, otherwise he won't get off the car!"

Song Qi was making shooting plans for the next day and was going to have a meeting later, but Xiao Ma suddenly came and reported the news.

Hearing this news, Song Qi's head was about to get big.

When the crew just arrived at the filming location and it was the busiest time, the leading actor started acting like a monster. Was it because he was not busy enough?

Putting down the work at hand, Song Qi went directly to the car outside the B&B.

Sitting in the car was a rather tough man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, about thirty years old, who was playing with his mobile phone in the car.

Seeing Song Qi come in, the man looked up, nodded and said hello casually: "Director."

This man is none other than Zhao Yi, the male lead of the crew. He is a professional actor with a third-level actor title and is somewhat famous.

This world has strict qualification levels for film and television practitioners. From low to high, they are Level 4, Level 3, Level 2, Level 1, and Special Level.

Including photographers, screenwriters, and actors, they are all classified according to this standard.

Among them, Level 4 is considered a practitioner who has officially entered the industry and is qualified to work in their respective industries.

Level three refers to veterans with certain industry experience who can independently take on projects and begin to gain a certain reputation.

The second level is an elite who can stand alone, is well-known in the industry, can make money, win awards, and often appears in major media.

The first level refers to the top masters, such as actors, movie kings and actresses whose box office has exceeded tens of billions, screenwriters and directors whose works have earned tens of billions of box office, all belong to this level.

They are the darlings of the media, the darlings of capital, and the leaders of the audience. Every one of their works will attract widespread attention, and of course there will be no shortage of box office and awards.

As for the special ones, they are masters who can create a genre, and there are not many in the world.

Song Qi is currently a third-level director, roughly the same industry status as Zhao Yi.

However, in the crew, the director is still the most authoritative. When Zhao Yi saw him, he didn't even lift his butt, which was a bit disrespectful.

Song Qi sat directly opposite him, frowned and asked: "What's wrong? Xiaoma said you don't want to get off the car?"

Sitting next to Zhao Yi is a chubby man wearing glasses, who is his manager.

When the agent heard this, he said: "Director Song, isn't the environment here too chaotic? It feels like a slum. Our actors will get sick if they live in such a place. No matter what, we have to arrange a hotel! Otherwise this

We can’t film the show!”

Song Qi took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said seriously: "We agreed in the contract that the accommodation environment will be determined by the local environment. This place is very close to the filming location. You can sleep a little longer and ensure your rest time. If you change hotels, you will have to stay overnight every day."

It only takes an hour to drive to the set, clean up and put on makeup, so how much shooting time is left?"

"Then I don't care."

Zhao Yi spoke impatiently: "Anyway, I won't live in a place like this. If you don't change it for me, then terminate the contract!"

Seeing his fearless look, Song Qi narrowed his eyes.

He had interviewed this actor. During the interview, Zhao Yi acted very polite and honest, but now he acts so rogue, which shows that he was just pretending during the interview.

Song Qi, an actor like this, has seen it all too often. He is willing to talk about anything when negotiating a contract. Once filming starts, he will add conditions at the last minute and stop acting if they are not met. The crew has no choice but to agree with him.

To deal with such actors, if they are wealthy enough, the best way is to terminate the contract directly, and then notify the whole industry, so that all peers should pay attention and use less such people.

But Song Qi currently doesn't have the capital or connections, so it's really difficult to deal with Zhao Yi's rogue behavior.

Smiling slightly, Song Qi nodded and said, "Okay! I'll arrange a hotel for you."

After saying that, he turned around and got out of the car.

Xiao Ma was waiting outside the car. When he saw him coming down, he hurriedly greeted him: "What should I say? Is he willing to come down?"

Shaking his head, Song Qi ordered: "Find him a hotel!"

"What?"

Xiao Ma was immediately annoyed: "Why should we find him a hotel? Is he too shameless? When an actor joins a set, he must abide by the crew's arrangements. This is professionalism! He is so shameless!"

"Okay."

Song Qi patted him on the shoulder: "There is no need to waste words with this kind of person. Filming is important. If you delay for a day, you will spend an extra day of money. After the filming is finished, there will be plenty of time to deal with him."

Xiao Ma had no choice but to give up when he heard what he said, but still muttered angrily: "The nearest five-star hotel from here is at least an hour's drive away, and it costs three thousand yuan a night. Not to mention the cost, but

What's the point of delaying the entire crew's time!"

Of course Song Qi also knew this. He sighed: "The filming is important! At most we can work hard and pick him up early in the morning."

Xiao Ma had no choice but to contact him around, found the nearest five-star hotel, and sent Zhao Yi there.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yi arrived at the studio on time and started participating in the filming, and he was quite serious about it.

Seeing this, Song Qi also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he doesn't act like a monster when filming, it won't affect the filming, and everything is fine.

However, Song Qi still overestimated his character. Only three days had passed, and Zhao Yi started to act again.
