Xu Rong was wrapped in a down jacket and holding a glass of wolfberry water in the director's supervisor, shrank his neck and looked around the set to clean the venue that had not yet melted snow.

More than 20 days ago, the whole group was looking forward to the snow, and even wasted seven days in vain.

Facts have proved that his decision to let the crew wait for only one week was correct. Not only did this snow come late, but it had nothing to do with Du Qifeng's snow. It took a while last night, and now there are still spots left except for some places, which will almost melt away.

If you wait according to Du Qifeng's opinion, it will be delayed. It will be more than 20 skyscrapers alone, and the rental fees that must be spent will seriously reduce the shooting budget.

Behind Du Qifeng who was beside him, Wen Yongshan wanted to speak but stopped.

Xu Rong and Du Qifeng both guessed what she thought, tomorrow is Christmas, and she probably wanted to rush back to Hong Kong tonight.

But neither of them mentioned this. The situation in each crew is similar. Except for a few main creators who have the intention of real creation, everyone else comes to make money, and they cannot be asked to be dedicated and happy at all. Just like most companies, except for the bosses who have no clear concept of going to and from get off work, others always hate overtime.

Just like the vast majority of the crew members at present, they are obviously no longer at work.

In this regard, Xu Rong and Du Qifeng mourned their misfortune and angered them for not fighting, because in their opinion, if they do not have a lot of love, the possibility of standing out from a fiercely competitive industry is basically zero.

But they can't ask for too much, because the yield and pursuit of each other are different.

A few days ago, he also considered not having a holiday on Christmas. As a gun battle scene that pushed the contradiction to the peak, in the secret of Du Qifeng's plan, the edited length was about sixteen minutes, but if it could be finished before 2012, Du Qifeng himself was not sure.

But in the end, he gave up this decision, and it was meaningless to keep people and could not keep their hearts.

"Brother Xu, your agent is so beautiful."

Xu Rong was stunned for a moment before realizing that Wen Yongshan behind him was talking to him, and responded: "Oh, it's okay."

A few minutes ago, he had just sent Jin Fangfang away who came to visit the set.

Now that Wang Yaqin has begun to take over part of his affairs, it is naturally not a trivial matter to need Jin Fangfang to come here in person.

Jin Fangfang's purpose was to persuade him to learn English.

She received an invitation from an American crew yesterday to play a guest role in an American drama called "House of Cards".

It is said to be recommended by a friend of his.

Jin Fangfang didn't know when Xu Rong made friends abroad, but in her opinion, this was a good opportunity.

Xu Rong refused the invitation to star, but did not refuse to urge him to learn English, because he found that it might not make much sense to master one more foreign language in China, but after the accident of "The Wife" went overseas, maybe he could really make some foreign exchange.

Du Qifeng just heard a scattered scale, lit a cigarette, and asked indifferently: "You really don't plan to take it? The production level of their TV series is different from ours."

Xu Rong smiled and shook his head, saying, "A small character who is dispensable is meaningless. Is it helpful to open up the domestic market?"

"But this is a pretty good opportunity. Who doesn't come step by step? Without an audience base, you can't ask for more." Du Qifeng leaned into the chair, holding his arms, holding a smoke in one hand, "I really think you can try it. If it works, your value will soar several times."

Seeing that Du Qifeng did not avoid him, Wen Yongshan plucked up his courage and asked, "Director, what good opportunity is there?"

"A crew in the United States sent Xu Rong a film appointment, and he was not happy to go."

"Oh, why not go?"

Xu Rong did not explain his original intention of rejection, because both Du Qifeng and Wen Yongshan were different from his values, and it would be useless to say it.

So I smiled and said, "Didn't I say that before? I don't plan to shoot a TV series for the time being."

Not to mention Du Qifeng and Wen Yongshan who grew up in Hong Kong, even if some people in the mainland are exposed to the culture on the other side of the ocean and understand the other party's cutting-edge technology, they will gradually develop the urge to worship because of fear or dissatisfaction with the current situation, and there are still many people who have such ideas.

In essence, hope is still placed on the mercy of others.

This mentality was completely abandoned in his childhood. When he was an orphan, other children in the same village always bullied him. At first, he could only win the sympathy of others by crying, but this attracted more children to bully him.

Until later, my grandfather told him that crying was meaningless and that the only thing that could stop others from bullying him was fists and teeth.

This concept has become more and more determined as he has experienced more and more things, and has benefited him to this day.

This is also the fundamental reason why he is not very keen to go to Hollywood.

As for the so-called conquest of the West through film and television works, its nature is roughly like the fantasies that some people abroad had about the Celestial Empire two hundred years ago.

But in the end, they quickly turned around and used strong ships and sharp guns to make the arrogant Aisin Gioro recognize the reality that he was behind and was beaten.

Especially in the West, where it pays more attention to ideology and public opinion, a yellow-skinned person, unless China no longer exists, will be more difficult to make his debut through film and television works as a Japanese person in China.

There is a possibility, but it is never allowed.

Du Qifeng did not respond because he could hear that Xu Rong was perfunctory, but he didn't understand Xu Rong's choice. Isn't Hollywood a paradise for every film and television worker?

Wen Yongshan didn't notice Xu Rong's hesitation at all and said, "Ah, don't you shoot any of them?"

"Not that, I will shoot one more next year. For the time being, I probably won't shoot it again."

"Why?"

"How to say it, maybe, this is actually what most colleagues hope for."

Xu Rong said, glanced back at Wen Yongshan, and smiled and said, "Just like the United States needs our existence."

Wen Yongshan looked at him in confusion, she couldn't understand what Xu Rong was saying.

After hearing this, Du Qifeng thought for a while, then turned his head and said meaningfully: "Actually, after all, don't we need the existence of the United States?!"

Xu Rong was about to lower his head to drink water, but when he heard Du Qifeng's words, he couldn't help but pause. After thinking for a few seconds, he tilted his head to look at Du Qifeng, and said inexplicably: "Old Du, I would like to remind you that your ideological awareness is very high, but some ideas are really very dangerous!"

"By the way, it's best not to reflect it in any work."

Wen Yongshan saw Xu Rong and Du Qifeng chatting, suddenly became serious and asked inexplicably: "What are you talking about?"

Xu Rong saw that since he arrived, he had been looking at a little girl who had been watching him, and slapped the thermos on the table, saying, "I'll go and prepare."

When Xu Rong left, Wen Yongshan asked curiously: "Director Du, what did you mean by what you said just now?"

Du Qifeng explained: "What do you think Xu Rong's business capabilities are?"

"Yes, isn't it good?" Wen Yongshan was glanced at by Du Qifeng. The fact that was originally established was not too old and confident, "Isn't it?"

"You are right." Du Qifeng gave Wen Yongshan a positive answer, "But how powerful it is, many people actually have no idea. If the situation is different, it will be more intuitive. If the audience knows that another person is very powerful, and if this very powerful person doesn't even deserve to carry his shoes, then the others will have a clear concept of his "powerfulness".

Wen Yongshan wrinkled her high nose and asked, "Why did he say that you have a high level of ideological awareness, but it is very dangerous?"

Du Qifeng sighed and said, "Because I am talking about 'we', as for what he thinks my thoughts are dangerous, how can I say it? Let me give an example. Before the Qin Dynasty unification, their people could accept the harsh criminal law, because although this set of laws was strict, they could mobilize the country's war potential to the greatest extent and protect their homes. However, after Qin unified the six countries, external pressure was eliminated. The people of Qin began to pursue the realization of their own demands and continued to implement the harsh criminal law. It would be difficult to do so. If you think that if you have accumulated such a large social conflict and cannot be transferred to the outside world, then you can only vent to Qin II?"

Wen Yongshan's two slender brows almost frowned into the word "chuan". She didn't understand history at all. She almost didn't understand the example Du Qifeng said.

Du Qifeng also vaguely saw a little and said, "If you have time, you can read more of "Das Kapital". The 'dialectical thinking' mentioned in it is very interesting and is very helpful for artistic creation."

Wen Yongshan forced a smile, and she finally knew why Xu Rong and Du Qifeng could chat, because when she chatted with Xu Rong, some of the concepts and logic that Xu Rong occasionally mentioned also gave her a feeling of broadening the boundaries of cognition.

On the other side, Xu Rong was seen getting up from the director's surveillance. A girl wearing a school uniform trotted to Xu Rong all the way: "Uncle Xu, are we playing games?"

Xu Rong glanced at the young woman who had no choice but to smile helplessly, then looked at Du Qifeng behind her, and said with a smile: "Xiao Di, to be honest, are you afraid of Lao Du?"

"Yes." The girl who was called Xiaodi by Xu Rong was busy lit her head, "Aren't you afraid of him?"

Xu Rong smiled and said, "Uncle Xu tells you a secret."

"What's the secret?"

"Old Du is actually very afraid of Uncle Xu."

Xiao Di had a stutter on her neck: "Brave!"

Xu Rong's face stiffened, but he had already gotten used to such situations and quickly returned to nature, saying, "Then why do you think Uncle Xu is bragging?"

"Old Du's voice is loud!"

Wen Yongshan, not far away, looked at Xu Rong and suddenly hugged Xiao Di, which scared Xiao Di to laugh "haha" after a scream, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

She heard Gao Yunxiang say that Xu Rong has a fondness for actresses in Northeast China.

In fact, this is true. Xu Rong has always been lukewarm to her, but the little girl hasn't been here for a few days. When Xu Rong is fine, she will take the initiative to play with her.

“The whole venue is quiet.”

“The whole venue is quiet.”

Hearing Luo Jinfu's shouting, Xu Rong reached out and pinched the baby fat on Xiaodi's face, and whispered: "Then you can't cry today."

Xiao Di gently turned his face to the side and stuttered: "You, you, me, me, oh, Uncle Xu, you are so annoying."

What we want to shoot is still the plot of the melee at the school gate. In the past twenty days, a lot of materials have been filmed, but less than one-third of the ones that can be used are estimated to be used.

However, the progress is still within the range that Xu Rong can accept, and he has already made plans for filming this scene for one month.

"preparation."

“action.”

Xu Rong hugged Xiaodi, pointed to the bus not far away, and said, "Uncle's legs are a little uncomfortable. Please help me to take my uncle to the car for a rest?"

Xiaodi looked at Xu Rong's blood-stained smile on his face and subconsciously took a step back. Although Xu Rong's mouth raised, there was no smile in his eyes, as if he had completely changed his body a few seconds ago.

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

Gunshots were heard everywhere, and Xu Rong no longer cared about anything else at this time, picked up the girl, turned around and rushed towards the bus across the road.

The melee continued. Xu Rong held Xiao Di with one hand, used her as a shield, rushed to the bus like wind, and then immediately turned around and rushed towards the side door of the bus facing the curb.

At the moment of a sharp turn, he felt his feet slipping and he suddenly thought to himself that something was wrong.
To be continued...
