Chapter Seven
"Xiao Xunzi, don't go to Sanlitun to sing tonight. I've already found the lead actor. I'll be filming in the next two days."

In the small courtyard, Cao Qing lay sprawled on a newly made bamboo and wood recliner, eating an old popsicle with great comfort.

While eating, he spoke on the phone vaguely.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Xun walked out of the small restaurant unsteadily, holding up his huge Motorola 8900 and responded:
"I found all the people so quickly, you kid can do it."

"Okay, my sister listens to you. I won't go to Sanlitun to sing tonight. I'll live directly at your place."

"Xiao Qingzi, pay attention to washing up. I will love you tonight. I have prepared a hundred and fifty portions for you today."

"..."

"Why didn't you speak?"

"Hey, hello, shit, you dare to hang up on my phone?"

Hanging up the phone in his hand with a snap, Cao Qing's body trembled uncontrollably.

"One hundred and fifty?"

"I only came here 4 times yesterday, and 5 times today. You really think I'm Teddy reincarnated."

"I can't take it, I can't take it, I won't take any orders at night."

After murmuring a few times indistinctly, Cao Qing directly forgot the Zhou Xun's reaction on the other end of the phone, anyway, he didn't answer tonight anyway.

.........

December 1997, 12, two days before the end of the year.

A bus was galloping at top speed on the criss-cross roads in the mountain city of Chongqing. There were nearly forty people in the bus.

"I can't do it, driver, you have to drive slowly, you are flying a plane!"

"Looking at it like this, we people are going to vomit, and we will have to vomit you a car by then, how bad it is."

In the middle of the bus, Cao Qing rubbed his sore back with one hand, and covered his mouth with the other, his face was turned blue and white by the bumps.

The night before yesterday was exhausted enough, and with the long flight yesterday, even if he managed to swim all night last night to recuperate, Cao Qing still hadn't fully recovered.

At this time, being bumped up and down by the bus, the feeling that his whole body was about to fall apart really made him feel ashamed for a moment.

The driver was driving happily and didn't want to slow down at all, but after hearing Cao Qing's offensive words that a lot of people in the car would spit on his car, he immediately stopped his fun life.

It's okay for one or two people to vomit, but if he really vomits a car, he won't be happy even if someone loses money.

Feeling the jolts on his body slowly subside, Cao Qing, a 1.8-meter man, was so excited that he almost shed tears.

He was lying limply in Zhou Xun's arms like a corpse, looking at Zhou Xun's rosy face full of vitality, suddenly a sentence flashed in his mind involuntarily.

There are only exhausted cows in the world, and the land has never been plowed.

"She was also exhausted the same as the night before yesterday. I didn't expect it to be a day, but she looked refreshed and scared."

These incomprehensible thoughts flashed through his mind, and Cao Qing dangled on Zhou Xun's lap for more than an hour, before the bus he was on finally stopped.

After getting out of the car and looking at the surrounding environment of the factory, Cao Qing nodded in satisfaction, this place is what he wanted.

There are factories that are about to be abandoned, houses waiting to be demolished, and there are some construction sites and old streets in the surrounding area, perfect!
Under the warm sunshine in the morning, Cao Qing, who looked at everything around him like the scene in the original movie in his mind, gradually felt a sense of substitution.

Originally, he had always been a bit outside the identity of a film director, but at this moment, he finally had a clear understanding in his mind.

Patting his face lightly with his hands, Cao Qing looked at the factory director who was walking towards him not far away to hand over the keys, with an inexplicable smile on his lips.

"From this moment on, regardless of whether this movie is a hit or not, I have seriously entered the film and television industry."

"Even if the film fails, my directing career is still an excellent experience. I have unearthed some future outstanding actors for the world's film and television industry in advance, and I will still contribute to the world after all."

"In my previous life, I was doing nothing. I could only look at the bright stars of the entertainment industry, and my heart was constantly yelling. In this life, no matter whether I succeed or fail, I will create waves of my own in this complicated entertainment industry."

"A person's life, failure once is enough, and ordinary one is enough. No matter how I live a new life, I always have to work hard for myself..."

Closing his eyes, feeling the breeze blowing around him, Cao Qing clenched his fists unconsciously.

At this moment, he felt a fire burning in his body. It was probably the unburned blood accumulated in his previous life that finally boiled.

"Snapped!"

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

Cao Qing was moving himself in his mind, when suddenly he was slapped hard on the shoulder, which directly woke him up from the dream.

Raising his head in a daze, looking at the curious Zhou Xun in front of him, Cao Qing tried his best to shake his head, dispelling all kinds of fantasies in his mind one by one.

Although his blood was boiling right now, he couldn't think about it when he was doing something.

After earnestly handing over the key to the factory in the hands of Director Wang, Cao Qing decisively took out [-] cash from the backpack and put it in his hand. The cash was an agreed fee in advance.

There are hundreds of employees in the mold factory in front of me. Although the efficiency is not good now, the cafeteria still has meals every day.

The crew of "Crazy Stone" led by Cao Qing has a total of dozens of crew members. In addition to borrowing a small half of the abandoned site, they also have to borrow someone's canteen to eat. The cost of eating within one month.

5 yuan for venue and food expenses, plus the cost of all crew members traveling to Chongqing by train, rental of some messy props, film costs, and part of the salaries paid to these crew members in advance, the system gave that The filming funds of 120 million yuan were only 67 yuan left in an instant.

On this point, even if other crews have accountants to count, it is probably difficult to be so accurate to the single digit level, but Cao Qing only needs to glance at the system panel to know clearly.

But these are not the key points at the moment. From the moment when the key to the factory was officially handed over from Director Wang, no matter whether it was Cao Qing himself or the starring members such as Huang Bo, Zhou Xun, Liu Yijun, and Sun Honglei, they didn't care about the rest of the factory at all. Will that amount of money cause a shortage of filming costs?

At this moment, in the eyes of all of them, they only saw a brand-new ship that was as dazzling as flames. This ship was slowly setting sail carrying the dreams of everyone in the crew.

If the ship sails smoothly, everyone on the crew will have a bright future.

　I recommend Chicago 1990. The protagonist of this book is also the multi-heroine model of Song Ya, but there is no harmonious coexistence, and there is no simple, silly, sweet heroine.If you want to see a single heroine, turn left when you go out, I can't write a pure love in the chaotic entertainment industry that everyone knows.
