Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 49

Director Hu and Du Hai are now in charge of the production crew, and Xiao Chuan doesn't need to be there to watch, so he thinks to get some more money and sell gold and silver.

Xiao Chuan came to Wangfujing, found a relatively large gold shop, and walked in.

There is no face-slapping plot, a salesperson politely received the plainly dressed Xiao Chuan, probably because of his face.

"Hi sir, what jewelry do you plan to buy?"

"Hello, I don't buy jewelry. I would like to know if your store buys gold?"

"Acquisition, sir, please follow me."

The salesperson made a gesture, asking Xiao Chuan to repair the jewelry at the back.

And when he walked to the place, he vaguely heard the sound of arguing, Xiao Chuan curiously turned on the "time and space live broadcast".

Then I heard a voice from inside: "Old Zhang, don't be too serious, if you don't add some materials to the jewelry, how will our store make money?"

There was another low but stubborn voice.

"Three generations of my family have been jewelry makers, and none of them are fraudulent. People trust our shop, take jewelry to repair, and exchange the old for the new. If we mix things into the gold, will we be worthy of our conscience?"

"What's the age now? How much is a conscience worth? Besides, we're just doing some tricks to these old jewelry. The gold shop only sells finished products, and it doesn't affect the reputation of the gold shop."

"I won't do it if you say it's a big day."

"Do you still want this job?"

"It's a big deal, I quit."

There was a sound of something being thrown in the room, and then a person came out.

Xiao Chuan said: "I still have some things, let's sell them someday."

The salesperson didn't hear the voices in the room, so he didn't understand why, so he said politely: "Okay, sir, if you need it anytime, just call me."

After finishing speaking, the salesperson said goodbye and went back to greet other customers.

A man in his 30s with a flushed face approached him.

Xiao Chuan stepped aside and followed the man out of the gold shop.

The man stood on Wangfujing Street, feeling confused for a while, not knowing where to go next.

I quit my job in a fit of anger, and regretted it when I thought about the mortgage and children's schooling.

Xiao Chuan walked up to the man, smiled and said, "Do you regret it?"

The man was puzzled and cautious: "What regrets?"

Xiao Chuan took out a pack of cigarettes, took out two cigarettes, held one for himself, and handed the other to the man, saying, "I heard you quarreling in the gold shop just now."

The man took the cigarette and Xiao Chuan lit it. The man took a deep drag and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Chuan spit out eye circles and said, "I have a job. If you are interested, let's find a place to chat?"

The man looked at Xiao Chuan's sunny and handsome face, nodded in a strange way, and followed Xiao Chuan into a coffee shop.

After ordering two glasses of latte, Xiao Chuan took a sip and said, "What's the name?"

The man said: "My name is Zhang Youcheng."

Xiao Chuan said: "My name is Xiao Chuan, Lao Zhang, how much does it cost to open a gold shop in Wangfujing?"

Zhang Youcheng said, "At least 100 million."

Xiao Chuan said: "Old Zhang, I'm going to open a gold, silver and jewelry store and hire you as the store manager. What do you think?"

Zhang Youcheng was both surprised and happy, and said, "Boss Xiao, I, I'm just a jeweler, I don't know how to manage."

Xiao Chuan said: "If you don't know how to learn, who can do it as soon as you are born? I believe that you will be able to do well."

Zhang Youcheng said, "Okay, I'll give it a try, thank you boss."

Xiao Chuan said: "You have been looking for stores in Wangfujing for the past few days. Don't be afraid to spend money. You must choose a good location. After you find it, go to Qianjin Entertainment Company to find my assistant, You Mei, and ask her to pay the rent and sign the contract. , you can find a few craftsmen with good skills and good character. I have a batch of gold and silver that I need you to process into jewelry. In addition, I also poach the girl from your original shop. I think she treats people very politely, and her salary is low up by [-]%,"

Zhang Youcheng said: "Okay, boss, I know a lot of craftsmen with good craftsmanship and good character. If the salary is high, I will definitely be able to invite them. By the way, boss, what is the name of your gold shop?"

Xiao Chuan said: "Let's call it Qianjin Tower. We do business honestly, and all we sell are pure gold."

Zhang Youcheng said happily: "Qianjinlou is good, this name sounds domineering and auspicious."

Xiao Chuan still has a lot of antiques and gold and silver Beizhou Buquan that he has not dealt with. Antiques and Beizhou Buquan can be sold at auction or in Pan Yuanzi. The gold market was only 2005 yuan per gram in 20. Silver is cheaper, Xiao Chuan I happened to meet Zhang Youcheng, so I just opened my own shop and produced it myself, so I could make more profits.

Xiao Chuan called Youmei, explained the matter, and then drove the AE86 to a village at the junction of Yi Province and Jin Province, where "Bright Sword" was filmed.

The crew of "Bright Sword" gave Xiao Chuan his first impression of being poor, but his second impression of being too poor.

There are only two cameras on the shooting site, one for panoramic shots and the other for close-up shots.

The weather in North China in March is still quite cold. The actors who filmed the film wore shabby and dirty military uniforms. Many people's hands and faces were cracked by the cold wind.

The unplayable actor got some bundles of corn stalks and lit a fire to keep warm.

Director Chen was sitting behind the monitor to control the overall situation, and Director Zhang was speaking to an actor with a mustache playing the role of a devil officer.

"OK, it's over."

After the shooting of the scene of the Eighth Route Army's charge outside, the actors went to the fire to warm up one after another.

Director Chen stood up this time, and when he saw Xiao Chuan, he said happily, "You are Director Xiao?"

Xiao Chuan stretched out his hand, held it together with Director Chen, and said with a smile, "Hi Director Chen, I'm Xiao Chuan, and I haven't directed a movie yet, so just call me Xiao Xiao."

Director Chen smiled and said: "You are the God of Wealth, how can I not respect you? Lao Zhang, Director Xiao is here."

Zhang, who was in the distance, pointed to the actor and said, "Do you understand how to act?"

The actor nodded, and Director Zhang told him to continue reciting his lines, then walked over quickly, held Xiao Chuan's hand, and said, "Director Xiao, hello, you are here to help."

Xiao Chuan said: "Director Chen, Director Zhang, let's not be polite, let's talk about the situation of the crew first."

Dao Chen: "Our "Bright Sword" has been filming for more than three months, and most of the dramas have been filmed. Now there are still a few major battles that have not started filming. I am negotiating with the military leaders and hope to get it. The support of the army, but I am short of funds to buy military uniforms, weapons and props for the Eighth Route Army, the People’s Liberation Army and the Fusang Army. As you can see, our crew has two cameras, and the shooting progress is very slow. Only five horses were rented, and the extras rode in shifts, and it took a long time to shoot the whole thing.”

Director Zhang continued: "Even the Italian cannons are made of plastic, and the extras don't even have a place to rest. When it's cold, they light up a fire and roast it. But everyone is full of energy and wants to make the show well." .”

Xiao Chuan said: "Directors Chen and Director Zhang, I admire your professionalism. You can just tell me how much money you need. I will pay for it. We can't let a good drama have flaws or even die prematurely."
