my wife is a showman

Chapter 34 I Can't Drink
A small village near the filming location has been contracted by the crew, and the villagers are mainly responsible for everyone's meals.

The props team and the logistics team arrived two days ago. The three stunt horses were airlifted from other places, and the other horses were rented from the local area.

A total of 50 large yurts were rented. Except for the medical room and dressing room, the rest are for group performances and staff. There are about 10 people in a group, which is quite crowded.

On-site group performances plus staff are estimated to exceed 500 people.

Naturally, Xu Lang was taken care of by Shi Jin, living with two assistant directors and three stuntmen.

Filming is really a waste of money. This kind of large-scale scheduling of materials and personnel costs money like water, just for the last 10 minutes of the big show. I feel that 1000 million is not enough.

Xu Lang felt that he didn't come in vain, and gained a lot of knowledge.

It's no wonder Wu Dalong is so angry, reshooting such a big scene is probably hated by the investors.

If it collapses after reshooting, it is really a thunderbolt.

But objectively speaking, Wu Dalong was too adventurous and overly ambitious for his first time directing a film. Perhaps it was because it was too easy for celebrity couples to find money.

"Damn it, is this a stove for heating?" Shi Jin complained.

"Director Shi, shouldn't you follow the director team to the city and stay in a luxury hotel? Why are you staying with us?" Chen Wu asked.

"Haven't I heard that an assistant director is inferior to a dog? I'm a husky among dogs. I have no human rights. I have to watch everyone. There are hundreds of people. How can it be so easy to manage? If there is a conflict with the local herdsmen, you can just Trouble."

Immediately after, the bus arrived, and the group leader was about to divide the room, but Shi Jin picked up the horn and stood on the roof of the Land Rover.

"Everyone gather here first, we have good news to announce."

Some people want to get a good berth in the yurt, regardless of whether they want to or not.

"About the matter of adding money, if you haven't heard it, you don't have it."

Those who leave immediately turn their heads back, become quiet for a moment, and look forward to it.

"The weather is cold, and the director is sympathetic to the hard work of everyone filming war scenes, so each person adds a bonus of 100 yuan per day."

It's rare for a group performer to encounter such a good thing. The crew took the initiative to raise their salary, as if pie fell from the sky.

Only the group leader who asked for the price turned pale with anger, and this time he pulled the 160th person over.

"Are there any special requirements?"

"Yes, let's make it clear first." Someone asked.

"Listen well, there are three requirements. First, pay attention to discipline, don't disturb the local residents, don't run around, don't drink and make trouble, especially don't smoke in the yurt, it will kill people. Second, when filming, you must be absolutely obedient. Scheduling, don't be lazy, focus on it. Third, if the filming cannot be finished in three or four days, the time may be postponed and the salary will be increased."

"Okay, no problem, thank you boss." Everyone replied in unison.

Ordinary group performances do not exceed 250 a day, and [-] a day after adding money, what is there to be dissatisfied with.

Zhang Donglai and Sun Chunhua walked to Xu Lang and asked, "Do you know why the extra money was added?"

"Someone asked for the price temporarily, but your luck will be fine." Xu Lang said mysteriously.

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Donglai's eyes lit up, and he probably guessed what was going on.

"It's inconvenient for me to disclose this. Wait until the assistant director finds you."

"Brother, did you say something nice to me?"

"Then can I still speak ill of you?" Xu Lang replied.

Actually he didn't say anything.

"That's interesting. In the future, we will help each other and make money together." Zhang Donglai said with a smile.

"In the future, there will be a crew interview for a small role or something, please give me a message."

"It's simple, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Sure enough, Shi Jin waved to Zhang Donglai, and they went to the yurt to plan.

The main creators were all discussing the shooting work for the past few days at the downtown hotel, but they didn't come over.

The excitement started during dinner time.

Drinking, playing cards, smoking, and complaints from nearby villagers are useless.

There are too many group performances, and there is really no way to control them. There is no special training organization in China, and the wages are not enough to support the family, so they are all part-time jobs, a mess.

In Xu Lang's tent, he naturally began to drink. The temperature at night had already reached subzero.

It's really boring for a group of men to get together and not have some fun.

"Shall I help you feed the horses?" Xu Lang said.

"Won't you join us for a drink?" Shi Jin asked.

"I can not drink."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then." Chen Wu said.

"Feed the fodder or take it outside?"

"It's so cold, forget it, let's feed the fodder."

"You stunt horse is so expensive, it's not good to feed it with fodder, what if you lose your temper tomorrow, I'd better ride it outside to eat, it's a long-distance transportation, and it's good to take a walk."

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of Wuliangye from his bag and placed it in front of Chen Wu.

"Can you ride a horse?" Chen Wu asked suspiciously.

"Yes, I learned it before."

"Really? You know everything, kid. Just be careful. Don't run too far. There are wolves." Shi Jin said.

"Brother Shi, tell the props team to find me a cavalry costume."

"You want to play cavalry?"

"Yeah, I'll train urgently at night, it will definitely be fine tomorrow."

"Okay, the local herdsmen found by 50 heavy cavalry are not enough in the first place, so the salary will be twice as high."

As Shi Jin spoke, he sent a message to the props team. He is a relative of the boss, and he is the second in command on the set.

"We don't care if it fell." Chen Wu replied.

He didn't worry about his horses. These three horses were the best horses, each worth over a million, and they were quite spiritual.

Chen Wu couldn't wait to unwrap the wine and pour Xu Lang a glass.

"Let's have a warm bite first, don't let him freeze to death, we still have to raise a daughter for you."

"It's not that exaggerated. It's only two or three degrees below zero. Anyway, I'm responsible for it myself."

After Xu Lang finished speaking, he picked up the cup, took a sip, and went to the stable, feeling much warmer in his body.

Shi Jin looked at the empty cup, and shouted in bewilderment:

"You... don't you know how to drink?"

"This guy is not young, and he is very aggressive."

"As long as I can work, I am willing to support it." Shi Jin said.

Three stunt horses are better than a house where people sleep, and in the stables of the local villager's house, the brick floor is covered with hay.

These days, they have more roles than the protagonists. Almost all the special moves such as falling to the ground, neighing, jumping up and pretending to be dead are all done by the three brothers, and only three stuntmen can do it.

To customize difficult movements, the crew has to tell them one month in advance, and then they will conduct special training on the horses, and form conditioned reflexes through contact commands and other methods.

One day of delay, the cost alone is 15 yuan.

A war scene is fun for the audience to watch, but there will be many sub-shots during the filming, and then it will be produced through editing and special effects.

"The horse is being scanned for memory..."

"The scan is successful. The special training screen has been stored in the material library, and the host can retrieve it for use at any time. Please zoom in ten times to study and learn the corresponding action instructions."

"Please get in touch with the horses more after you have exchanged them for riding, so as to establish a foundation of mutual trust and cultivate a tacit understanding."

"Confirm the exchange." Xu Lang said.
