Chapter 38

Shooting a special episode is Shi Zhongchuan's inspiration when shooting the first season of the lonely diner.

Therefore, the expenses of the special section are not in the initial budget, and Zhen Qiong needs to allocate funds again.

"But... Requires an additional budget."

With these words, Shi Zhongchuan held his breath and was ready to be criticized by Zhen Qiong.

In the shooting process, additional money is needed, either because the director is extravagant and wasteful, or he won't control the cost and wants to do it one by one.

In this case, regardless of whether the capital agrees to continue to invest money or not, it will beat Shi Zhongchuan first, so as not to make him feel that he has too much capital money and can squander it at will.

Perhaps not every capital is like this, but all the capital Shi Zhongchuan has encountered is this virtue.

Although Shi Zhongchuan also wants to do it one by one, he doesn't do what he wants.

After recording this inspiration, he first thought it over and over again and asked others. Everyone thought it was a big deal, and then he decided to make a special article.

But anyway, he really didn't make a good budget. If Zhen Qiong scolded him, he should.

"Need an extra budget? OK! As long as we can make the play well and make the audience happy, the money is not a problem. Is another two million enough?"

What came from the mobile phone was not Zhen Qiong's accusation, but a straightforward answer. Shi Zhongchuan seemed to hear a trace of... Happiness from Zhen Qiong's tone.

After being stunned for a while, Shi Zhongchuan quickly said, "thank you, Mr. Zhen. In fact, it doesn't need so much. About 1.5 million is enough."

"That's not good. After all, it's the first time to shoot in other places. What if something happens halfway and you need money? The whole company will go to magic capital tomorrow, and no one will give you money at that time. Do you want the whole crew to stop in magic capital and wait for us... Cough, come back after business trip?"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhen! Thank you, Mr. Zhen!"

Shi Zhongchuan is very grateful. In his opinion, isn't it because of his trust that Zhen Qiong allocated money so readily?

And in order to let him shoot without worries, he took the initiative to add money!

As the saying goes, a scholar dies for a confidant. Shi Zhongchuan secretly vowed to ensure that every episode of the play is almost perfect, even if he spared his hundred pounds.

"You're welcome. If you need money in the future, just say it. Don't be shy. You're responsible for making the play well. There's a company for money!"

"OK. Mr. Zhen, I see."

"Well, the company will be off work in less than half an hour. I'll ask the literary assistant to call you two million first. You should pack your bags and gather at Fengming Shengjing early tomorrow morning!"

"OK, Mr. Zhen, we must arrive on time."

After disconnecting the communication, Shi Zhongchuan breathed a sigh. A late leader came up and asked, "why? The matter of asking for money is not going well?"

"On the contrary, Mr. Zhen allocated us two million without saying a word."

Later, the boss was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "President Zhen is atmospheric! Does he have any requirements?"

"Shoot the play well so that ordinary audiences can enjoy it."

Hearing Shi Zhongchuan's answer, the later big man restrained his cynical smile.

For the first time in almost ten years, he saw a boss who not only didn't make bad dramas but also made bad money. He also kept throwing money into an "anti market" play.

Just to make a good play that can make ordinary audiences happy in this abnormal film and television environment.

And this... Isn't that what he and those old guys want to do most?

Before, they thought that they could not fulfill this wish all their lives.

Now some people are standing in front of them to protect them from the wind and rain, so that they only need to use their professional skills and concentrate on doing what they want to do, so what reason do they have not to go all out?

If he had doubts about Zhen Qiong before, he thought that young people were too idealistic. Before long, they would be corrupted by the market and become a member of just bad money.

But now, the late boss is respectful to Zhen Qiong.

He patted himself on the cheek to make himself more sober and said, "in the later stage of the play, if there are any problems, I'll raise my head to see you."

"Not so, not so..."

The next morning, they gathered downstairs at the scene of Fengming. Although many people were still yawning, everyone had a smile on their face.

Even Lu Yufeng and Li hubai, who "stimulated" for a while yesterday, are talking and laughing now.

Travel at public expense! They didn't dare to think before.

Although this trip to Mordor is mainly to visit the game exhibition, which is closely related to their work, they are still excited.

After all, whether it's business class or five-star hotel, it's the first time for many people. It must be a lie to say no.

"Ah..." Zhen Qiong covered his mouth and yawned. Wen Waner on the side immediately handed over a thermos cup.

"President Zhen, hot cocoa."

"Thank you."

Zhen Qiong took the mug with a smile and took a sip.

Whether it's temperature or taste, it's just right for Zhen Qiong.

Zhen Qiong felt that it would be great if she married Wen Waner!

incorrect! The son of God wants to inherit the throne of the poor God! Just gentle Township, don't try to hinder the son of God!

Under the dual effects of hot cocoa and self-encouragement, Zhen Qiong was inspired.

At the same time, two tourist buses contacted by Wen Waner also drove slowly.

It can be said that the dome god went to the magic capital this time. There were about 100 people, including Shi Zhongchuan and others. The two cars could just be stuffed.

Although many people fly for the first time, business class is just like that. It's nothing to be surprised.

The scenery outside the window is beautiful, so many people can't help but take out their cameras or take photos with their mobile phones in flight mode.

Two hours later, the plane arrived in Mordor.

The people took the reserved tour bus and came to the five-star hotel with a reserved room.

After putting down his luggage, Zhen Qiong let everyone move freely and told them to keep the bills when eating, drinking and having fun. The company reimbursed them no matter how much they consumed.

Naturally, the crowd cheered, especially the girls, discussing where to buy together.

Li hubai met Lu Yufeng in the hotel cafe. After drinking a cup of coffee, Lu Yufeng said, "brother Li, how do I feel that we are not here to work, but to travel?"

"That's Mr. Zhen taking care of us, otherwise we'll be bumpy all the way."

"Yes! When you visit the game exhibition tomorrow, you must see more, learn more and inquire more. You can't live up to President Zhen's painstaking efforts."

Whether Li hubai or Lu Yufeng, they all feel that Zhen Qiong is mighty this time. He must have some plans to participate in the game exhibition.

Although they are not hierarchical enough and do not know Zhen Qiong's plan, they believe that as long as they try their best to do what they can, they will certainly be able to help.

In the room, Zhen Qiong was lying on the bed brushing his mobile phone, and the door of the room was knocked.

Zhen Qiong opened the door and saw that Shi Zhongchuan came to him.

"It's Lao Shi! Come in and sit down. What's the matter?"

After Shi Zhongchuan became a member of the dome god, Zhen dome didn't call him so polite.

However, Shi Zhongchuan was not angry about it, but felt that the name sounded kind.

After the two sat down, Shi Zhongchuan took the lead and said, "President Zhen, we plan to start shooting in the afternoon. Let me tell you first."

"Don't worry. You're tired. You'd better have a rest. If you're not in good shape, it won't look good."

Zhen Qiong didn't expect that Shi Zhongchuan was so dedicated that he was ready to shoot in less than an hour.

"Mr. Zhen is at ease. He takes a bus and a plane, and the journey is not far. After everyone has a rest, they are in good condition, and there is no problem shooting."

Seeing that Shi Zhongchuan was full of energy, Zhen Qiong didn't continue persuasion, but changed the topic and asked, "what's the specific part you said?"

"President Zhen, Song Xiaowu's restaurants in the play are basically concentrated in Phoenix and the surrounding cities and towns, and will not go out of the province. The special article mainly tells about Song Xiaowu's encounter with local food after his business trip to other provinces."

"Oh. It's mainly eating. Is there any obvious difference from ordinary dramas?"

"Yes, in the special article, there will be a relatively coherent, relaxed and humorous plot. The duration of an episode will be about 70 to 90 minutes. Of course, the core eating will occupy 90% of the duration."

"Well, it's very good. If it's still before, don't worry. As long as you can shoot the play well, it doesn't matter if you stay in magic for ten and a half days and a half months. During the shooting period, the company will reimburse you for everything."

"OK. If the shooting time exceeds the expectation too much, we will choose a more affordable apartment to live in for a period of time."

Shi Zhongchuan's idea is very simple. Zhen Qiong has invested enough in this play. How can they waste money on food and accommodation?

It must save Zhen Qiong a little, yes, a little!

But Shi Zhongchuan's words undoubtedly poked Zhen Qiong's scales. He said in a serious tone: "to shoot a play well, everyone in the crew must maintain the best state."

"If you can even make do with food and accommodation, how can you do this? So during the shooting, your food and accommodation will be in this five-star hotel as usual."

"As for these expenses, you don't have to worry. You can't eat the dome god."

Zhen Qiong's domineering words moved Shi Zhongchuan's heart.

He nodded heavily and said, "I see, Mr. Zhen. I'll leave first and don't disturb your rest."

"Well, go ahead! Remember, keep improving."

"Yes."

After Shi Zhongchuan left, he didn't go back to his room, but came to the parking lot.

The crew are here. They are checking the shooting equipment. They are focused, as if the special forces about to act are wiping their guns.

Seeing Shi Zhongchuan coming, they stopped their actions one after another.

Shi Zhongchuan didn't say much either. He waved his hand and said, "let's go!"

Kaka, Kaka——

With bursts of clear voices, they packed up their shooting equipment and took three rented black vans.
