A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 262 Let’s make a bet. I think it can exceed 5 million.

After arriving at the destination, Chen Jinnian jumped out of the car and saw three girls standing next to the crew's warning sign. They were all wearing sun hats and sunglasses, so their faces could not be seen clearly.

But for Chen Jinnian, it was very familiar. He immediately asked with a smile: "Aren't you going to Nanjing for fun? Why are you here?"

When Wang Yidi saw her boyfriend coming out, she happily went to greet him and, regardless of the hot weather, put her arms tightly around his waist.

Seeing the scene of being showered with affection, Qiao Yingzi looked away in disgust, "We were planning to go to Yanbian, but Wang Yidi insisted on coming to see you. We had no choice but to accompany him here. Otherwise, who would come here to hang out?"

Huang Zhitao leaned sideways and tried to look inside the iron factory. She had heard from Chen Jinnian that the play they had taken on was a big production, so she was quite curious about the situation on the set.

When Wang Yidi heard what Qiao Yingzi said, she quickly got out of Chen Jinnian's arms, turned around and glared at Qiao Yingzi with a blushing face.

She had also specifically told me not to say that I came here on purpose, but to say that I was just visiting Zhangjiakou for tourism. But I thought that I was sold out as soon as we met.

Chen Jinnian reached out and pulled the arrogant Wang Yidi back to his side, and continued, "Are you in a hurry to leave? If not, come to the set and stay for a while. I'll treat you to dinner after work."

"Yes, hurry up and get in the car. I'll take you there."

Xie Nan got out of the car and invited them warmly. Lu Jingshan also greeted them with a smile.

Chen Jinnian's mind was all on Wang Yidi. It was only at this moment that he remembered that there was someone following him, so he quickly turned around to introduce them.

"This is my girlfriend, and the other two are my good friends."

"You should all have seen this person. She's the host of Guangguang, Xie Nan, also known as Sister Nan. The other mixed-race sister is Lu Jingshan, also known as Sister Jing. That's what I usually call her, so you can call her that too."

After Chen Jinnian's brief introduction, Xie Nan was a little surprised. She knew that Chen Jinnian was not very old, and young artists in the entertainment industry nowadays are not allowed to fall in love.

No matter whether you are really single or pretending to be single, you should at least pretend that you are not in a relationship. I have never seen someone like him who is so open about it.

Lu Jingshan didn't think too much about it. She shook hands with Wang Yidi and the others and said, "You can call me Jade."

After a brief greeting, they returned to the set. As soon as they entered the studio, Xie Nan quietly said to him, "You and your girlfriend are on the set, don't get too close. There are so many people around, be careful not to get photographed."

He knew Xie Nan was reminding him kindly, but he didn't take it seriously. "It's okay, Sister Nan, we've already announced it, and even the parents of both sides have met."

"So fast!" Xie Nan opened his eyes wide, his face full of shock.

Chen Jinnian nodded affirmatively, then took a few quick steps to catch up with the three people who were looking around, and took them aside to explain the precautions.

After all, they are now in Wu Jing's crew, not his crew, and they can't just wander around as they please. They still have to abide by the rules and disciplines that need to be paid attention to.

"After the area is cleared, you must remain quiet and don't wander around. Turn your phones to silent mode. Also, the film is confidential, so you are not allowed to take photos or videos."

The three of them nodded frequently and listened carefully to Chen Jinnian's instructions.

After entering the crew, they found that this place was very different from Chen Jinnian's crew at that time. First of all, they had never seen professional photographic equipment and wirework before. Secondly, the scale of the crew was really large, and there were many black people. At a rough glance, there were more than a hundred black people performing in the extras.

"Oh, and the most important thing is, don't do any work yourself. If someone asks you to help, don't go. Just say you're an artist's assistant. Got you?"

Wang Yidi's eyes were full of doubts, but he nodded obediently. Qiao Yingzi wanted to ask the reason, but he had no time to explain.

Looking back at Wu Jing who was communicating with the director of photography, he knew that the next shot was about to start, so he hurried to the dressing room to prepare his makeup.

The reason why Chen Jinnian gave such instructions was because in Wu Jing's crew, women were treated like men and men were treated like animals. Many things needed to be moved around and adjusted, which was really heavy physical labor.

It is also hard for him to rush to meet deadlines and squeeze the shooting period after the New Year.

He was filming all literary scenes at the time, and was mentally exhausted after finishing them. Wu Jing was filming all action scenes, and even if there were literary scenes, they were just used to transition the plot, so he was so tired after filming that he didn't even want to move his fingers.

After a few hours of busy work.

Wu Jing barely finished filming half of the planned scenes and officially finished work.

In the dressing room, Chen Jinnian hurried to change his clothes and took them away. He had to take them back to the hotel to wash them, otherwise he would definitely not be able to wear them tomorrow.

He had several sets of the same costumes, but he sweated so much that he had to change at least two sets a day to ensure normal filming.

While he was packing his backpack, Wu Jing came in and patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Chen, I want to ask you something. If I shoot multiple groups at the same time, is it possible?"

"Brother Jing, you already have the answer in your heart, why bother asking me." Chen Jinnian smiled bitterly. The plot design of the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" is destined to be slow to shoot.

First of all, shooting a 3D movie is a headache. Secondly, the character of Leng Feng runs through the entire film, and a large number of action scenes need to be shown. How fast it can be shot depends entirely on how much pressure Wu Jing's physical fitness can withstand.

The human body has a fatigue warning line. Once it is exceeded, it will be easy to get injured or sick, and the shooting will take longer.

It doesn't matter who directs the film. Big productions and large investments are always accompanied by long cycles. The bigger the scale, the longer the cycle.

"Oh, I know that, but funding is a problem."

Chen Jinnian picked up his backpack and said, "Don't worry, this movie is absolutely fine. Even if we go by the minimum 8 million box office estimates from several production companies, you still won't lose money if you overspend million. They're just holding off on joining because they want to take more."

Before leaving, he suddenly turned around and said, "Brother Jing, let me make a bet. I think the box office can exceed 5 billion. If I lose, I won't take the investment share converted from my salary."

Wu Jing had never thought about 5 billion, and he was immediately amused.

"Five billion more, I'll be really lucky if it exceeds 1.5 billion. If it exceeds 5 billion, I'll double your investment."

"Haha, that's not necessary. Just help me act in a movie in the future."

"I'll act for you for free!" Wu Jing shook his head happily. He thought Chen Jinnian was joking.

There were not only the two of them in the dressing room, there were also several actors and makeup artists present, who looked over curiously after hearing their bet.

Chen Jinnian raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared on his face. "I'm serious. Brother Jing, if you want to go back on your word, feel free to come to me anytime." After that, he walked out of the dressing room, closing the door gently.

Wu Gang couldn't help but be shocked. Are all the kids born after 95 so individualistic nowadays? They just refuse the pay.

"Director, where did you find these actors?"

"I found it on the street."
