Chapter 1102

"Oh? Is that right? "Lin Jingliang looked at Xiao Yao with a smile." I believe if you pay enough money, you can really bring the professional construction team here to build a house, but that village is a remote place after all. How long will it take when you get in touch and bring the team over? When will the manpower and materials be in place? The time you ask for is so tight. It can't be solved with money. "

"Well, I'm in trouble again." Xiao Yao was embarrassed by Lin Jingliang and scratched his head. "However, I had built several hope primary schools in Wuyou County of Sichuan Province before. At that time, instead of donating money to the local government or charity organizations, I invited the construction company to build a house there."

"Did you find someone to build hope primary school by yourself?" Lin Jingliang was surprised and interrupted, "Wuyou County in Sichuan Province? Where the earthquake happened a few years ago? "

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "I participated in rescue activities in the earthquake years, and made a little effort in post disaster reconstruction."

"I only know that you have set up more than 1000 pianos in the public areas of big cities. It seems that you have never heard the media report about it. Do you still keep it secret?" Lin Jingliang asked with a smile.

"It's not important," Xiao Yao said, waving his hand. "What's important is that Wuyou county is surrounded by high-altitude mountainous areas, and the school is built in a remote village. My team was looking for a construction company that was very good at building houses in the mountains. Through that cooperation, my team, mainly my agent, has a good relationship with that company. It should not be a big problem to ask them to send a few technicians as soon as possible. "

"It's not difficult for a company to temporarily dispatch several technicians. What about the workers and materials?" Lin Jingliang said, "as far as I know, in China's construction industry, construction companies are looking for contractors, and the workers are in the hands of contractors. If you want to pull out a team of construction workers, I'm afraid you can't do it in just a few days? "

"In terms of workers and materials, I intend to solve them on the spot." Xiao Yao said, "I know that most of the time in the countryside people build houses by themselves. A village, plus at most several nearby villages, can generally find all kinds of workers needed to build a house. In terms of materials, they also know very well what kind of materials they use to build a house on their own ground is the most cost-effective, and they generally have their own sources of materials. "

"We need to borrow a venue from the village to film. We can also leave the building of houses to the villagers. It's not busy farming season now. I believe there should be people in the village. They should be very willing to make this money. " Xiao Yao finally said, "let's ask the technical personnel of the construction company to be the guidance and backbone to ensure the quality of the house and meet your requirements. Let's invite the villagers to be workers and buy materials through the way of the villagers, so as to fully mobilize the local forces and save time. By doing so, we should be able to build the house in a month's time, right

"Now that you have thought about it, do as you say!" Lin Jingliang said with a smile, "today and tomorrow I'll make out the drawings and requirements of the school house. When you talk to the people in the village tomorrow, we'll start work as soon as possible. "

After making an agreement with Lin Jingliang, Xiao Yao leaves Lin Jingliang's room and goes to Fang still to tell her what he plans to do.

Xiao Yao was still fully responsible for the construction of hope primary school in Wuyou county. He did not contact the construction company who was responsible for the project. This time, if he wanted to find them, Fang still had to come forward.

However, it's late now. Xiao Yao just told Fang in advance and didn't ask Fang to contact the construction company now. Wait until tomorrow to negotiate with the villagers, and then you still contact the construction company to hire people.

The next morning, Xiao Yao and his party came to dahebao village again under the guidance of Alatan.

Qingshuihe County is close to the border of Shanxi Province. Alatan is very familiar with this area. He can not only speak Mongolian, but also the dialect of Shanxi Province. When we went to talk with the villagers about renting the venue, it was the local Alatan who was the introducer who led us to find it.

Xiao Yao and Lin Jingliang want to rent a place in the village. For this kind of thing, they go directly to the village committee to find the village head or the village branch secretary. When we arrived at the village committee, we found that there was no one in the village committee, so we went directly to the village head's house under the villagers' instructions.

The village head was a middle-aged man in his fifties. After hearing that Xiao Yao had explained their intention, he was very novel. Their village is very remote and relatively poor. People of his age in the village only saw movies in the open air in the village's grain drying field in their early years. They never went to the cinema, let alone saw what it was like to make movies.

But it doesn't matter if you don't know what it means to make a movie. Xiao Yao, they want to rent the land in the village. The meaning is very clear. The village head knows the land in his mind. Even if he asks Xiao Yao to take him to their favorite place to have a look.

After listening to Xiao Yao's introduction, the village head discovers that the place they want to rent is an idle and useless slope land in the village. He immediately waves his hand and says that it's OK. It seems that he doesn't want to bargain at all if he gives some money or benefits to the village.

Later, Xiao Yao told them that they had to hire villagers to build a house on the slope. The materials were also bought through the village. After the movie was finished, they could give the house to the village. The village head waved his hand and even gave them the rental fee.The performance of the village head made Xiao Yao and his party feel overjoyed. Xiao Yao, who felt that some things were too smooth, carefully inquired about the village branch secretary and asked the village head if he wanted to ask the village branch secretary for advice.

In China, as the most basic administrative unit, the village has two main leaders. The village director, also known as the village head, is elected by the villagers, and the village branch secretary is elected by the party members of the village branch. The village head leads the work of the village, while the village branch secretary guides the work and supervises the village head and the village committee. Xiao Yao is afraid that the village head has agreed well. When he turns back, the village branch secretary doesn't agree. It's still in vain.

When Xiao Yao asked the village branch secretary, the village head couldn't help shaking his head with a smile. It turns out that the village branch secretary in this village is the son of the village head. In the village, basically he has the final say. Xiao Yao asked the villagers to help build houses with a piece of vacant land in the village, so that the villagers could earn money. When they left, they gave the houses to the village. Such a good thing can't be robbed by other villages. No one in the village would have any opinions.

Since the village head said so, Xiao Yao immediately asked the village head to sign an agreement with the village committee to finalize the matter.

Before they came, Xiao Yao had already drawn up a model agreement. Take it out, fill in the conditions, and ask the village head to seal the official seal of the village committee. This matter is settled.

The lease of the site is done, and the next thing is to build a house.

Because Lin Jingliang's drawings and requirements for the house have not been fully completed, and he can't make the project budget for the time being, he can't sign the contract now. However, Xiao Yao saw that the village head attached great importance to building a house, and gave him a reassurance.

No matter how the house is built, the building materials and workers are needed. Xiao Yao gave the village head 10000 yuan in cash as a deposit on the spot. He asked the village head to find someone to help them contact some building material suppliers and prepare some materials. In addition, he called the people who had the skill of building houses in the village to prepare. When their design was completed and the technicians were in place, he immediately contacted them to start work.

Seeing a bundle of red banknotes in front of him, the village head was very happy, and his good impression on Xiao Yao and others increased greatly. Looking at the time approaching noon, he warmly invited Xiao Yao and his party to his home for dinner, saying that they were going to kill a sheep at noon and give them a good reception.

Lin Jingliang is in a hurry to work out the design of the house, but Fang still has to contact the construction company. Xiao Yao feels that time is pressing. He wants to set up a production team as soon as possible, and the people from the film and television company need to follow up on the budget and further follow-up work. We are not very interested in the dinner.

Xiao Yao and others repeatedly expressed their thanks and asked the village head to write them a receipt for the deposit. After leaving contact information with the village head, they left for home.

For Lin Jingliang's scenery design, Xiao Yao, the director, is going to make the final review. After returning to Qingshuihe County, Xiao Yao didn't immediately return to Shencheng to set up a production team. Instead, he went to the room with Lin Jingliang to make the school design. Of course, it's mainly Lin Jingliang's work, Xiao Yao's watching and expressing his own opinions from time to time. If the design is finished, Xiao Yao will be satisfied.

That night, Lin finished the overall design of the school, and then began to design the interior decoration and furniture. Two days later, technicians from the construction company arrived in Qingshuihe County. Taking Lin Jingliang's design, I went to dahebao village to have a look on the spot. After measuring some data, I talked with the village head about the price of materials and labor. Then I began to make the project budget.

Xiao Yao didn't take part in these things any more. He gave them to the technicians from the construction company and the employees from the financial and commercial departments of the film and television company.

Seeing the project budget they handed in, Xiao Yao found that the total did not exceed his expectations. He was too lazy to bargain with the villagers and agreed with a wave of his hand.

In the past two days, the village has done a lot of preparatory work, ordered a lot of materials, and the workers who can work have also dealt with the work at hand, waiting to start. As soon as Xiao Yao agreed, Shencheng's film and television company would transfer the money to the special account of the film project, and the project started immediately.

Xiao Yao and Lin Jingliang do not need to supervise the whole process of building a house. They just went to the site two days before the start of the construction and saw that the construction site was orderly and hot, so they put down the business here for the time being. Xiao Yao and Lin Jingliang left for Shencheng with a total of five members from their respective teams.

After returning to Shencheng, Xiao Yao and Lin Jingliang began to set up the production team.

Lin Jingliang interviewed the people from the departments behind the scenes, such as clothing, chemistry, Taoism, lighting and photography, and finally worked with Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao, on the other hand, needs to find two deputy directors to share his own work, and hand over the selection of department personnel, such as field records, drivers, etc., who have little to do with art, and actors, such as long Tao, group acting, etc., to the deputy director and some administrative personnel of the film and television company dispatched to the crew to decide together. In addition to meeting Lin Jingliang's favorite people selected by Lin Jingliang from the art departments, the most important one is the audition of the main actors.During his time in Qingshuihe County, Xiao Yao also made a survey of the local conditions. It is generally known what the climate and environmental conditions of the places where we live, eat, travel and shoot will look like. After returning to Shencheng from Qingshuihe County, Xiao Yao also gave those shooting conditions to the casting studio, so that they could communicate with the candidate actors again according to these conditions and the new shooting schedule, and the acceptable actors could arrange role auditions. As for the audition time, it will start from three days later and try to arrange all the auditions in two weeks.

It took three days to identify two deputy directors, and then worked with Lin Jingliang to finalize the photography team and props team of the production team. After sending the two teams to dahebao village to get familiar with the environment in advance, Xiao Yao began to audition for the main actors.

As the previous casting work was handed over to the casting studio, the audition site was also in that casting studio.

The time required for an actor's audition is not necessarily, it can only be roughly estimated, so the date of an actor's audition is fixed, but the time is not so accurate. However, at least the audition time of the first audition actor every day can be set.

On the first day, the first audition actor arrived earlier than the time announced by casting studio, and Xiao Yao arrived on time. The casting studio prepared a special audition room for Xiao Yao, and set up the required cameras in advance. After Xiao Yao arrived with people, the audition work began.

The first audition actor was Yang Zhiqing, who was in his fifties. The audition role was sun Henghai, the principal of the film.

Yang Zhiqing is an old actor with rich performing experience. However, he usually plays in drama. Although he has also played in film and television works, he basically plays some minor supporting roles and is not well-known among ordinary people. But Xiao Yao knows that Mr. Yang is not only a national first-class actor, but also a member of the artists, Chinese Dramatists Association and Artists Association. He is definitely an old artist with high performing skills and self-cultivation.

Xiao Yao knows that the first actor to audition today is Yang Zhiqing. When he arrived at the casting studio, instead of waiting for Yang Zhiqing to enter the audition room, he went to the waiting room to greet Yang Zhiqing.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, I'm Xiao Yao, the producer and director of this film," Xiao Yao offered his hand to Yang Zhiqing, bowed and said, "I feel very honored that my film can attract teachers like you to audition!"

"Is it?" Yang Zhiqing chuckled and shook hands with Xiao Yao. "In this way, isn't my role secure? Is today's audition just a walk through? "

"That won't do!" Xiao Yao immediately shook his head and said, "you are the elder and I am the younger. Now I come to say hello to you to show my respect to you. But after a while into the audition room, I am the director, you in my eyes is to audition actor. If I feel that your performance is not suitable for the role of principal sun in the film, no matter how much I respect you, I will not give you this role rashly. I'm responsible for my own work! "

"Good!" Yang Zhiqing laughed, patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder and said, "the director should be like this! No matter how old or qualified, in a film crew, the director is the biggest
