Chapter 205 The windmill squeaks and turns

"The Best in the World" finally started filming.

But right at the beginning, they encountered a problem.

"Props, where are the things I asked you to prepare?"

Arriving at the shooting site, Wang Jing, the producer of "The World's Number One", frowned and asked,
They were filming the first episode of "The World's Number One" today.

This episode was relatively easy and not very difficult to shoot.

The only problem is that the requirements for props are relatively high.

However, they had already prepared the necessary props a few days ago.

But when she came here today, Wang Jing looked around and found that their props were gone.

"This"

The prop master was also confused.

He clearly remembered that he had placed the props here before leaving yesterday.

How come the props suddenly disappeared now?

"Wait a minute, I'll look for it."

The prop master said quickly, preparing to go find it.

"Looking for it? How are you going to look for it? We are about to start filming, and you are letting me down at this critical moment?! Do you know how much you are delaying our filming progress?!"

Wang Jing showed no mercy.

He started scolding the prop master.

Such a commotion made Deng Chao, who was standing by, a little curious.

He couldn't help but use his elbow to poke Huo Jianhua next to him: "Teacher Huo, what props were lost that made Producer Wang so angry?"

Huo Jianhua hesitated for a moment and said, "It looks like a chair."

"Chair?"

"Yes, isn't there a scene in the script that says the strongest man in the world's number one village has been replaced? But in fact, that person is not the strongest man in the world, but the number one illusionist in the world. When I came here a few days ago, I saw them struggling with a chair. I didn't expect that at this critical moment, the chair would be lost."

Huo Jianhua said with a sigh.

Some people don't understand why such a chair would be lost.

I also don't understand who would steal a chair like this.

Director Deng Yancheng saw that something was wrong, so he stepped forward and comforted Wang Jing, "Director Deng, calm down. It's just a chair. We can just skip this part and reshoot it later when the production is finished."

Wang Jing looked at him coldly:
"Jump? What for? There are only a few scenes here. If we skip them, there's no need to shoot this scene!"

“Not only will you have to reschedule the photo shoot, but you’ll also have to spend more money.”

"Will you explain this cost to the investors?"

If Wang Jing was the director, that would be fine.

After all, the director’s main point is that he doesn’t feel bad about money that isn’t his own, and he spends as much money as he can on the filming.

But he is a producer now.

Not only is he fully responsible for script coordination, pre-production, and forming a filming crew, he also has to calculate capital costs, review finances, and report to investors.

This thing is the most disgusting. If there is any abnormality in the bill, the investor will question it.

Not to mention that such a small plot was filmed twice.

If we don't scold the producer harshly at that time, that would be the least of our worries.

In serious cases, the filming funds will be reduced.

This is also the reason why Wang Jing is so angry now.

Deng Yancheng obviously understood the twists and turns involved.

But in the current situation, the props are lost and it will take some time to make them.

You can't just shoot without the real object and then add special effects later.

This costs more money.

The investors will probably curse even more harshly then.

"Well, now you can just find a bench and call a few more people."

"When filming, you asked those people to wear green clothes and lift the chairs up, and then photoshopped them down in post-production."

After pondering for a moment, Deng Yancheng looked at the prop master, gave him a solution that he thought was feasible, and asked him to do it.

Hearing this, the prop master looked at Wang Jing cautiously.

Seeing that there was no reaction, he nodded quickly and walked out quickly.

Just then.

"Producer Wang, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

At the door, Jiang Nian's voice came from inside, very curious.

After the opening ceremony just ended, he thought there was nothing to do during the one-hour meal time, so he simply picked up the Yellow Holy Cloth and went to practice martial arts.

When I came back, I heard a lot of noise here.

Hearing this, Wang Jing was about to say, "It's nothing, just some small things," and brush Jiang Nian off.

But before he could finish his words, he suddenly thought of something and changed the subject:
"Teacher Jiang, can I trouble you for something?"

"What's the matter?"

"It's like this. We plan to imitate what you did in the crew of "Dragon Gate Flying Daggers" and shoot a vlog to promote our TV series. After careful consideration, we plan to let you play Cao Zhengchun. The content is also very simple. You just need to carry a bench with six people sitting on it and turn it around. I have even thought of the title, "Eunuch Cao is as strong as a mountain and as powerful as the world." What do you think?"

All I can say is that he is worthy of being the king of bad movies who single-handedly supports half of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

With her ability to speak nonsense without blushing, I guess only officials can be compared with Wang Jing.

Hearing this, Jiang Nian raised his eyebrows.

He looked at Wang Jing suspiciously: "Vlog? Are you sure?"

Although he had just arrived, he still vaguely heard some of the content.

"Why did it sound to me like you guys lost something?"

Jiang Nian directly exposed Wang Jing's lies.

Wang Jing remained calm and said, "This is secondary. The main purpose is to shoot the vlog. If you don't believe me, you can look into my eyes. I am so sincere!"

"."

"6."

Looking at Wang Jing's cross-eyed look, Jiang Nian's mouth twitched.

It has to be you.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'll just say it straight. If you want me to shoot it, no problem. One hundred thousand dollars, isn't that too much?"

Although he has already received 80 million in film salary.

But one code equals another.

This play was not within his scope of responsibilities, so Jiang Nian felt it was only natural to ask for some money.

Wang Jing was very happy about this: "No problem! I'll have someone transfer the money to your card after the shoot."

"Okay, do you need me to change clothes?" Jiang Nian asked.

"No, no, we're just shooting a vlog, so you must show your image of Cao Zhengchun." Wang Jing said with a smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Nian didn't say much, just nodded, and stood aside, waiting for the staff to bring the chair back.

Seeing this, director Deng Yancheng was a little puzzled.

"Producer Wang, weren't you still worried about the money just now? Why are you giving me the 100,000 yuan now?"

You know, they had to rent the scene again, even remake the props and reshoot.

All the expenses added up only amounted to about 50,000 or 60,000 yuan!

The 100,000 yuan given to Jiang Nian is enough for them to reshoot twice!
Hearing this, Wang Jing smiled slightly:
"Old Deng, you are too superficial."

"If this money is used for reshoots or re-installations, the investors will not be satisfied no matter what."

“But what if it’s used for publicity?”

“Isn’t this a two-for-one deal?”

“Then the employer will not only not say anything, but will also praise us for being available to do our work.”

“Not to mention.”

"Forget it, it's nothing. Anyway, there are a lot of twists and turns here, just take your time to figure it out."

Wang Jing patted Deng Yancheng on the shoulder, then put her hands in her pockets and left happily.

And the words he didn't say.

This is Jiang Nian’s identity.

As an artist who was praised by the official, anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as Jiang Nian doesn't do anything stupid, basically no one in the entertainment industry can touch him.

Even in the future, thanks to this praise, he will basically have a place in any serious drama!
The future is limitless.

Therefore, many people want to win him over.

Including the investors of "The World's Number One".

Otherwise, they would not have offered a high price of 80 million yuan and specifically asked Jiang Nian to join their crew.

As for the 100,000 yuan now.

All Wang Jing needs to do is to use her traditional skill of quoting things out of context.

That’s not shooting a vlog.

Rather, it was a signal sent by Jiang Nian to investors, indicating that he was interested in them.

Of course, whether it is interesting or not is something that investors need to think about.

Anyway, Wang Jing knew that if she did this, her relationship with Jiang Nian would not be much different.

Who doesn’t like to be friends with someone who is stupid and has a lot of money?

The key point is that the money spent is not Wang Jing's, but the investors' money.

"It's so delicious!"

Playing with the Buddha amulet in her hand, Wang Jing smiled like Maitreya Buddha, and was sincerely happy that she had gotten a relationship for free.

Seeing his behavior, Jiang Nian knew what he was planning.

But it was not exposed.

Because no matter what, the money finally went into his pocket.

As a beneficiary, how could he give up his interests and pursue those meaningless moral honesty?

This is not purely sick.

As for Deng Yancheng, he calmed down and thought about it carefully. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was not right.

Ask one person to carry a chair that can hold six people?

hiss~~
Is this serious?
ten minutes later.

After the props team member grunted and moved the bench back.

Everything is ready, and the filming of "The World's Number One" is finally on track.

Set up various camera positions in the yard.

Wait until all the actors and extras are in place.

"action!"

Picking up the microphone, director Deng Yancheng gave an order and everyone quickly got into the mood and started filming.

It starts with a slow moving shot.

Wan Sanqian, a wealthy businessman who was as wealthy as a country, set a rule when he founded "The World's Number One".

Anyone who can prove that he has an ability that is better than anyone else in the world can eat and drink for free and be protected in the No. 1 Manor in the World for the rest of his life.

Therefore, the No. 1 village in the world attracted all kinds of powerful people.

At the same time, the seats there have been constantly contested.

Today, a young person came to the No. 1 Village in the World. Her strength shook the position of Mr. Qin, the No. 1 Strongest Man in the World.

Stand aside and listen to them speak their lines.

Jiang Nian's expression was a little strange.

Cao Zhengchun's martial arts level is that of a master.

The strength can move mountains.

This is undoubtedly a contact with the extraordinary.

But it just happens that in such a world where things can be overwhelming.

The way the strongmen competed in strength was just to lift a few people, and they couldn't even lift more than two hands.

Lifting six people at once was enough to shock the strongman Qin Ye.

Jiang Nian couldn't help but complain in his heart that the combat power of this drama was really hard to describe.

It was like just a second ago, Emperor Huang Tian was still ruling the world arbitrarily, but then the camera turned and it turned out that the strongest person in the world was not him, but his own mother!
Of course, it is also possible that this strongman has not undergone any training and relies purely on his own talent.

In this way, it seems a lot more reasonable.

Jiang Nian was lost in thoughts, and his mind gradually went blank.

At this time.

"Teacher Jiang"

"Teacher Jiang?"

A gentle call came from the side, waking Jiang Nian from his thoughts.

"what happened?"

Jiang Nian came back to his senses and asked.

"It's your turn." Deng Yancheng pointed to a chair not far away and said to Jiang Nian.

"Oh oh." Jiang Nian understood and almost forgot about the important matter.

Then walk forward and use the staggered shooting method.

Standing next to the woman who played Gong Gong, he bent down and grabbed the chair.

Seeing this, the actors sitting on the chairs were stunned.

They looked around.

No?

Just two people?
"Wait a minute, Director Deng, did you make a mistake?"

"Didn't you just say that you would get four or five people to carry us?"

"That's right, why are there only these two people?"

They expressed confusion.

Isn't this scene being filmed?

Or are you planning to change it?
In response, Deng Yancheng did not say anything, but just looked at Wang Jing.

Because this matter was entirely decided by Wang Jing.

What to do next also depends on his thoughts.

Wang Jing grinned and said, "Teacher Jiang, I'm sorry for the trouble. Could you please lift it for me?"

"Yeah." Jiang Nian nodded in response, then glanced at the six people sitting on the chairs, said "Hold on tight and sit tight", and then exerted force suddenly.

Suddenly.

"Teng!"

Under people's astonished gaze and in Wang Jing's astonished look.

The chair, which could hold six people and weighed at least 1,500 kilograms in total, was simply grabbed by Jiang Nian with one hand and lifted up!
And he raised it and raised it again.

The chair in his hand was extremely stable, and it looked like it was being lifted up by a machine.

"!!!"

"What the hell?!"

Seeing this scene, the actors in the yard were stunned!
Especially the woman who played Gong Gong. Because she was very close to him, she saw the whole process of Jiang Nian lifting him up clearly. She was so frightened that her eyes widened and her face was stunned.

The six people sitting on the chairs felt the emptiness under their feet and were stunned.

Is it really lifted up?
This was their first thought.

And the second thought was, why the hell is there only one person here?

Looking at Jiang Nian who was holding onto the side of the chair.

Suddenly, the six people sitting on the chairs inevitably became agitated, and even the chairs began to shake.

Feeling the growing force in his hand, Jiang Nian raised his eyebrows.

Good guy.

It takes several thousand pounds of force to hold on to one side and keep it steady at the same time.

After the work is done, you are still making a fuss up there. Are you afraid that Jiang Nian is not under enough pressure now, so you want to add pressure to him, right?

"Come to think of it, Producer Wang told me to lift it up and then turn it around twice, right?"

"Hold on tight, the windmill is coming!"
