Chapter 269 Breaking the rules means paying the price
After returning home and feeling the warmth from the heater, Li Changhe took off his hat.

It is really a blessing to have heating at home in winter.

The two of them tidied their clothes, and then Zhu Lin put on an apron.

"What to eat tonight?"

"Just eat whatever is in the refrigerator."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

The things stored in their refrigerator far exceeded the reserves of other homes of that era.

"Okay, I'll see what I can do."

Zhu Lin nodded, then went into the kitchen and started working.

Li Changhe washed an apple and started eating it while standing at the kitchen door.

"I told Teacher Hou today that when you get to the crew, you should be careful. I think some people will try their best to find you, but a crew can only have one voice."

Li Changhe gave Zhu Lin some advice.

Zhu Lin shook her head: "It's so troublesome. If you had known earlier, you could have just refused directly."

"It's easy to refuse, but it won't be that easy if you want to make a movie again in the future."

"Anything that breaks the rules will cost you a price."

“Nothing is taken for granted.”

"Of course, I agree that they should study. It will be good for you, too."

"Think about it. When you really start a group, there will be a lot of people in the school looking for you. For example, your roommates will ask you for help and want to join the group with Lao Tian and the others. Can you refuse?"

"Do you still want to have a daily relationship?"

"With this learning opportunity, when they ask, you just need to recommend them."

"Once we get to the crew, we'll give them some appropriate preferential treatment, and this matter will be over."

"It's the same reason why I asked the crew to provide them with meals."

"They are not allowed to speak, so they are treated better. They are soft-hearted. Even if they cannot participate in the filming, they don't feel that much resentment."

Li Changhe analyzed the situation to his wife with a smile.

After listening to this, Zhu Lin couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, you guys have so many tricks up your sleeve. I just don't like thinking about them."

She never thought there were so many explanations involved.

"Where are you going?"

Li Changhe threw the apple core into the trash can, a metal bucket specially used for garbage.

Just think, in a few years, a signature will be able to be used in a variety of ways.

Even if it is the same signature on an approval document, the meaning of signing horizontally and signing vertically is completely different. There are more than ten ways to interpret one signature. Even code deciphering is not so confidential.

Soon, Zhu Lin cooked two dishes and served them on the table.

"By the way, have you finalized your filming schedule?"

At the dinner table, Li Changhe asked curiously again.

"I plan to go to the Jingxi grassland in a few days. Didn't your script say that they get married in winter? Let's shoot the post-wedding scenes first while the season is right."

"Then wait until spring to shoot the pre-wedding scenes."

"It's so cold, and Lao Tian said it was a pain to go to the grassland to take photos!"

"Don't worry, I've already thought about this."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

"Hmm? Have you considered this?"

Zhu Lin was a little surprised.

"I bought a few cars and will ship them over to serve as your means of transportation."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhu Lin was speechless: "You also bought a car."

"Yes, I will register it under the company when the time comes, which will also be convenient for me."

In those days, private individuals were not allowed to buy cars in China. Only units and foreign companies were allowed to buy cars.

Li Changhe took advantage of the crew's filming to bring the car in and registered it under the company's name.

Of course, high-end Mercedes-Benz and BMW are out of the question. Li Changhe is considering getting a minibus and then a more comfortable van.

Wait until the policy is relaxed in two years and then introduce some sedans. As for SUVs, MPVs and the like, they are not popular in the world yet.

"You, this is too luxurious."

Zhu Lin said helplessly.

"This will highlight the strength of our company and enhance your authority."

"If anyone doesn't obey, just drive him away. The car is also a resource for the crew."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

Domestic film studios are not without cars. Beijing Film Academy has one, but those cars are quite old.

The comfort level is incomparable to that of the minibus that Li Changhe had just bought.

After all, this minibus will be of many uses in Li Changhe's hands in the future.

So what Li Changhe asked Weiersi to buy was a high-end car. Those old cars in China could not compare to it at all.

"By the way, have you chosen the male lead?"

Li Changhe asked curiously again.

He did not participate in matters such as casting, which were all left to Zhu Lin and others.

In fact, Zhu Shimao played the original Wrangler quite well.

But the problem is that Li Changhe doesn’t know where this guy is now.

Li Changhe had met Chen Peisi by chance at the Beijing Film Studio a few days ago. This guy with thick hair was so handsome that he almost didn't recognize him.

This guy is now affiliated with the Bayi Film Studio, but he also films with the Beijing Film Studio. This year's Beijing Film Studio's "Look at This Family" was filmed by the two of them. After the movie was released, it received good reviews. After all, it is a rare comedy work.

"Old Tian said to consider the people in the acting class first, but I don't think any of them are suitable."

"These people are too young. According to what you wrote about Xu Lingjun, I think this person must first be upright, have a righteous spirit, and have correct thoughts."

"Secondly, he has to be well-seasoned. He has been herding horses on the ranch for many years, so he can't be delicate and tender. I think he must have a scruffy beard, like Lao Tian."

Zhu Lin said with a smile.

Yes, Tian Zhuangzhuang's decadent look of a young man with a tugged beard is quite consistent with Xu Lingjun's appearance in the early days.

"Is this all what you thought?"

Li Changhe asked curiously at this moment.

Zhu Lin smiled and nodded: "Yes, and I read what you wrote."

"You wrote that Xiuzhi and Xu Lingjun cleaned themselves before their wedding night. Xiuzhi wiped off the soot on her face, and Xu Lingjun cut off his beard. Does this mean that they were reborn?"

Zhu Lin asked Li Changhe again at this time.

Li Changhe smiled and said, "In fact, I didn't think so much at the beginning. The main reason was that Xiaoxue was so beautiful."

"If you didn't ask her to deliberately make herself look ugly in the early stages, it would be hard to say that she had fled all the way from the countryside to the ranch. After all, it would be too unrealistic to think that such a beautiful girl had no one to take advantage of her on the way."

"And it would also highlight her intelligence, a clever 'commander' of the navy, army and air force."

"Then when you are filming, you can use a classic appearance to let her show her true face, so that it will have a greater impact on the audience on the big screen."

"In fact, her role in the plot is weaker than Xu Lingjun's, because all the glory and greatness are on Xu Lingjun, so we can only help her improve a little from the perspective of camera and character."

Li Changhe explained to Zhu Lin with a smile.

Zhu Lin nodded: "I think so too. The contrast between before and after can actually highlight the character more clearly."

"When we actually start shooting, we'll have to let Lao Gu and Lao Zhang discuss it again."

"You don't know, but recently Lao Zhang has been so grateful to me at school that I feel embarrassed for his kindness."

Zhu Lin was talking about school gossip at this moment and couldn't help shaking her head.

"Is it that serious?"

Li Changhe was a little surprised. How could Lao Zhang be like this?

"There's nothing I can do. You don't know that there aren't many people in school who are willing to talk to him."

"He's a transfer student, he's older, and he didn't get in through a formal exam. Many of his classmates must have a problem with him!"

"If nothing else, Kaige privately looks down on him."

"The only two people in school who have a serious relationship with him are Lao Tian and Gu Changwei."

"The others in their dormitory count as half, and the other one is you."

"Speaking of which, Hu Mei and the others have asked me many times why you look at Zhang Yimou differently."

“Many students don’t understand.”

Zhu Lin asked curiously. In fact, she was also quite curious.

"What's the big deal? It's just a matter of chemistry. I think Zhang can achieve great things."

"Think about it, when he first came to Beijing Film Academy to apply, he was so much older than the university, but he still came."

“This courage is stronger than that of ordinary people.”

"And you see, there must be many people who got into Beijing Film Academy through connections, but in the end he was the one who succeeded, which proves his ability."

"Don't think he's silent. He knows what's going on better than anyone else. He's thinking about something."

"That day when we were having dinner, he was competing with Lao Gu for the chance to take photos, but Lao Gu was forced to give up with just one sentence."

"In my opinion, among all the students in your class, Zhang Yimou will definitely be the one with the highest achievements in the future!"

Li Changhe spoke to Zhu Lin seriously.

Zhu Lin was a little bit unconvinced when she heard this.

"He's just a photographer, how can he be so good?"

"Many people think that he is just Lao Tian's henchman. According to what you said, will he become a director in the future?"

"What's wrong with a photographer being a director? Didn't Lao Tian also work as a photographer before?"

"Zhang Yimou's talent for photography is even higher than Tian Zhuangzhuang's. This is actually an advantage for a director because he can produce very exciting pictures."

"That's why I let him join your crew."

“You have a story in your mind, but you need someone to express it. Some people are good at it, and some are not.”

"In my opinion, Zhang Yimou's level is just this!"

Li Changhe gave a thumbs up and said with a smile.

"What about Gu Changwei?"

Zhu Lin became interested at this time and continued to ask.

Li Changhe continued, "Lao Gu is different from Lao Zhang. Zhang Yimou is good at capturing things. He likes to use colors to highlight characters, while Lao Gu is more focused on documenting the facts."

"Lao Gu's photography technique is suitable for telling stories. You will know when you see it."

“Zhang Yimou’s images are absolutely exquisite, but in terms of the entire shooting image, Gu Changwei will give you the most complete and smooth feeling.”

"So, I'll arrange two photographers for you. When the time comes, we'll interweave the best parts of their shots and edit them together. The whole story will be much more exciting."

Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin with a smile.

Zhu Lin nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder you insisted on arranging two photographers."

"Changhe, I think you are more like a director than I am."

"By the way, will you go to the grassland with me in a few days?"

Zhu Lin asked softly.

Li Changhe shook his head: "No, I have to go to Hong Kong Island as soon as I finish the exam."

If nothing unexpected happens, the peak of gold will come in January 80. This time, Li Changhe has to go to Hong Kong Island to keep an eye on it.

Because this means that his final profit is about to surface.
