A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 272 Where is my director's salary?

"I have something to do here. I'll talk to you later. Remember to eat." He explained to Wang Yidi in a low voice and hung up the phone.

Then he stood up and looked at Wu Jing. He didn't think that the other party had recovered to the point where he could film.

"Brother Jing, are you injured?" he asked hesitantly.

But Wu Jing didn't care. "It's okay. It's an old injury on my lumbar spine that I had when I was a teenager. I should be almost recovered in a couple of days."

Seeing that he didn't quite believe it, she said, "If you don't believe me, I'll get up now and show you a few moves." As she spoke, she supported the wheelchair with both hands and was about to get up to show him.

"No, no, no, I believe it, I believe it."

Chen Jinnian rushed over to stop the other party. Even if there was nothing wrong originally, it would become a problem after he tried to prove it by showing off.

"Hurry up and sit down. The doctor told you to rest well. He didn't say you can start working as soon as you are discharged from the hospital."

Xie Nan was helpless against Wu Jing's stubborn temper. She originally wanted her husband to go home and rest for another week, but Wu Jing's attitude was extremely tough, so she could only accompany him to the crew to take a look.

"Oh, if I don't return to the crew, those monkeys will definitely make a scene."

Wu Jing rolled his eyes after hearing this. He only had a back injury, but his brain was still fine. He was aware of Chen Jinnian's recent actions in the crew. He knew that Chen Jinnian could not actually control the crew, but was just temporarily isolating the dissenting voices outside to try not to affect the normal filming of the crew.

But it may be okay for a day or two, but over time, those people will still be ready to make a move.

Not to mention those far away, during the time he was in the hospital, he received countless calls. Some were from friends who cared about him, but more were from major investment companies.

After hearing this, Chen Jinnian smiled, waved his hand, and asked the staff of the director team to step aside first until there were only three of them left in the studio.

"What are you going to do? Should we hand over tomorrow's shooting plan now, or should you make a new one?"

"No need. I've seen all the content you've filmed recently, and I'm quite satisfied with it. You should continue filming until I recover."

After seeing that there were no outsiders around, he stopped hiding his true thoughts and expressed them.

"Okay, then how much have you recovered now? Can you walk? I need to know clearly." Chen Jinnian asked. Wu Jing's injury has been kept secret, and even he doesn't know much.

"Walking is fine, but if I have to do anything a little bit intense, well, I can take painkillers and I can handle it, and it won't affect the filming."

After hearing the answer, Chen Jinnian knew that the other party was not telling the truth. If walking was no problem, then why would he sit in a wheelchair? But it was enough for him to be able to walk, and he didn't need much.

"Come on, keep those action and gunfight scenes to yourself. I won't get involved with that. You and I should finish the literary scenes first, and we can deal with the rest later."

He picked up the shooting plan and started marking it. When he used a stand-in to shoot the scene before, many shots of "Leng Feng" showing his face were left out, and he had to fill them in quickly. After just flipping through a few pages, he turned his head and looked at Wu Jing.

"By the way, where's my salary? You paid me as an actor, but you haven't paid me as a director yet."

When Wu Jing heard Chen Jinnian asking for money, he immediately pushed his wheelchair to run out. Now, whenever money was mentioned, he felt overwhelmed. The project investment was not small, but the gap was even bigger. If he paid Chen Jinnian according to the market price, it would have to start at at least one million.

"Don't worry, brother, I won't treat you badly. Ouch, my waist suddenly hurts a little. Honey, push me back first and let me rest."

Chen Jinnian threw the shooting plan on the table, folded his arms across his chest, and watched Wu Jing's clumsy performance quietly.

In terms of action skills, Wu Jing is among the best in the country, but in terms of acting ability, he is much worse than Wu Yue, who is also a martial arts actor. He is only slightly above the passing line, and sometimes his acting is really awkward.

Such as now.

Seeing her husband acting like a rogue, Xie Nan could only turn around and give him an apologetic smile, then quickly catch up with Wu Jing who was running out.

After the two left, Chen Jinnian shouted helplessly, "Alright, stop watching the show, hurry up and pack up and get off work. Every day, no one is worrying."

After he finished speaking, the staff who were lying outside the studio watching the excitement walked in one by one with their heads lowered. They didn't expect that they were hidden so well that they were discovered by the director.

"Brother Nian, we didn't make any sound, how did you find us?" asked one of the young assistant directors.

Chen Jinnian didn't say anything, but just picked up the shooting plan on the table, pointed to a monitor hanging in the upper left corner of the studio, and turned to leave.

This monitor was connected to all the surveillance cameras of the crew, and their actions just now were clearly captured by one of them.

"Oh my god, when did there appear to be a surveillance camera at the door?"

"Shh, the new director just ordered it installed. He added a lot of surveillance cameras on the set."

"Ah, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I just remembered it too."

"you,……"

The crew will not take many things away, but someone will be on duty on the set 24 hours a day to be responsible for the safety of equipment and props. However, this still avoids leakage, and some things often disappear.

So the first thing Chen Jinnian did when he took over the crew was to increase the surveillance system a lot to make everyone behave themselves.

Fortunately, it came in handy right after I installed it.

Unfortunately, they were photographed right after they were installed.

The next day, when the main crew came to work, they saw Chen Jinnian leading the director team for a morning run in the iron factory. The formation was so slow that it was about thirty meters long, and everyone was panting.

The Zhaochuan Iron Factory covers an area of ​​400 acres. Even walking around the factory can make people tired.

Wu Jing got out of the car and sat on the wheelchair he took out from the trunk. He asked in confusion, "I haven't seen you for a few days. How come even the director team has started training?"

Wu Gang beside him shook his head, "I don't know, this is the first time today."

Ever since Chen Jinnian replaced Wu Jing as director, he has become increasingly confused about the changes within the crew. Sometimes he even reflects on himself, wondering if the generation gap is so big.

When Chen Jinnian saw that the director team could no longer run, he disbanded the team.

"We're all a bunch of people who want to be directors. How can we take on the responsibility of a crew if we have such poor physical strength? From now on, we have to run three kilometers every morning after work to exercise."

Everyone sat on the ground, too tired to speak. They found that this new director was young but very cunning. It was clearly because they were caught eavesdropping yesterday, but he insisted on finding a new excuse to deal with them.

What he said was so high-sounding that I couldn't find any point to refute it. What was even more infuriating was that this guy asked them to do it during working hours, which didn't even count as overtime.

Chen Jinnian's eyes swept across their faces one by one, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to Wu Jing in the distance.

Well, there is still someone who owes money to be dealt with.
