Chapter 2212 You Can’t Run Away (First Update)
When the big boss comes, there will naturally be benefits.
Yin Jun remembers that many celebrities in previous lives would bring a lot of fruits, milk tea, drinks and other things when they visited the class.
In this life, milk tea has not yet started, so what he brought here was fruit.
It's not something that's too valuable. As for fruits, there's a cart of watermelons and grapes, which will quench your thirst.
The conditions of the crew are actually not bad.
In addition to not being able to enjoy air conditioning during filming, when they returned to the guest house, they had hot water and air conditioning 24 hours a day.
This guest house is what I mentioned before. Because there are too many film crews coming from Hong Kong, it specially upgraded its own software and hardware facilities, and it is also the one that only accepts Hong Kong dollars.
In fact, it is not expensive when converted. After all, it is like living in dozens of rooms or hundreds of rooms. If you treat it as a big fat sheep in a single room, it will definitely be shameful and the reputation will not be good if it spreads out.
Therefore, they also adopt the method of small profits but quick turnover. On average, a room costs 100 Hong Kong dollars a day, and three meals a day plus midnight snacks cost 50 Hong Kong dollars per person per day.
Just like that, they also made a lot of money, earning more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars for the city every year.
Well, again, the cost of RMB consumed is not money at all. Getting foreign exchange is the most important thing.
Gao Zhisen knows the rules. When the weather is too hot, from 12 noon to 3 p.m., unless it is a very important scene, he will go back to the hotel to rest during this time, and will not go out to film until it is not so hot.
But Gao Zhisen did not waste time. Every afternoon at around 2 o'clock, he would hold a simple discussion meeting in the air-conditioned conference room of the guest house to let everyone see what was wrong in the front and what would happen next. Is there anything that needs to be added and improved?
Because of this, the filming of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was not fast.
Everyone, especially the ordinary actors and behind-the-scenes production staff, are very happy. Their subsidies are calculated on a daily basis. After so many months, they have received a subsidy of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, how cool it is! ?
Those who have a slightly harder life are the students from the three major film academies who come to participate in the performance, as well as the actors from the major film studios.
There are more than 100 of them in total, and they are all regular actors in the movie. They are not the kind of extras who have no lines and are used as decorations.
The rules of Qilin culture have always been very strict.
All the people who join the crew, except for the extras who work as extras for a few days, have the same accommodation and food standards as ordinary crew members - the directors, producers and starring actors. Naturally, the accommodation is better. of.
But the guest house here has been expanded three times and still only has about 150 rooms. For productions such as "Huanzhugege", the number of actors and production staff brought from Xiangjiang exceeds 200. The rooms are all booked by them. How can there be room for these 100 mainland actors and students?
Therefore, they stayed in a guest house 200 meters away. The conditions here were much worse. Hot water was not available 24 hours a day, and there was only a ceiling fan at night.
Fortunately, the food standard is the same as theirs, and they are also earning Hong Kong dollars from the crew, so they eat quite well.
In addition, in fact, everyone knows that the salary paid to them by the Huajing Branch of Kylin Culture is 10 times higher than that in China. However, this money belongs to the workplace and the school, and they have no share.
However, Qilin Culture Huajing Branch is not a die-hard person, and will also give them a subsidy of 10 Hong Kong dollars every day. This money can be used for anything.
Although it is only 10 Hong Kong dollars a day, the official exchange price is also 1:0.4, but in today's black market, one RMB can only be exchanged for one Hong Kong dollar. Even so, Hong Kong dollars are very popular.
Why?
On the black market, one U.S. dollar costs 10 yuan, but outside, 1 U.S. dollar can only be exchanged for 7.8 Hong Kong dollars.
If you exchange 1 yuan of RMB for 1 Hong Kong dollar, it is equivalent to 7.8 yuan, which can be exchanged for 1 US dollar. This is definitely a good deal!
However, there are far fewer Hong Kong dollars in the market than US dollars, so it is not easy to exchange.
The Huajing Branch of Kylin Culture gives this kind of remuneration to all the actors who participated in the Xiangjiang crew. Therefore, basically the largest private source of Hong Kong dollars comes from the mainland actors and students in these crews.
Usually the filming cycle for a movie and TV series in Xiangjiang is 2 months, but for Kylin TV and Kylin Movies it will be longer, about 3 months.
When other film companies and satellite TV stations saw what Kylin Culture Huajing Branch was doing, they had no choice but to follow their rules.
Fortunately, it is only 10 Hong Kong dollars a day. On average, a crew employs 50 people, which only amounts to 30,000 to 40,000 Hong Kong dollars. This additional expenditure is not much.
These actors and students were also very happy. After everyone finished filming and had the closing banquet, when they went downstairs, there were scalpers waiting in front of the restaurant or the door of the guest house to exchange them for RMB.
So after one trip, at least 600 yuan of subsidy was credited to their account, which is not a small sum for them.
Not to mention that this time "Huan Zhuge Ge" will be filmed at least until September, which is 5 months. That is 1,500 Hong Kong dollars, which can be converted into 1,500 RMB, which is more than the annual salary of many students' parents. More.
Therefore, even if their accommodation is not as comfortable as that of the actors in Xiangjiang, they do not feel it is too difficult.
In the past, when we were even poorer, we didn’t even have fans at home!
Yin Jun also knew that it was harder for them, so this time in addition to a cart of watermelons, he also brought another gift.
Just one Walkman per person.
There are actors and production staff from Hong Kong and Mainland China.
The Walkman is even cheaper in the mainland, only 320 yuan, and the unified price overseas is 99 US dollars.
Therefore, many foreigners who come to the mainland are very smart to exchange US dollars directly on the black market, and then they can buy a Walkman for about 32 US dollars, and the price is only one-third of that abroad.
It's a pity that they can only buy them in small quantities, and it's impossible to buy them in large quantities.
The actors and staff from Hong Kong are all employees and contracted actors of the Kirin Group, but a HK$780 Walkman is not a bargain. Even if you have it yourself, you can take it home and give it to your relatives and friends. Very good gift.
Needless to say, mainland actors and students were reluctant to buy a Walkman that was equivalent to an average person's seven or eight months' salary.
Now that they suddenly had such a gift, they were extremely grateful to Yin Jun.
How else to say he is the richest man in the world?
They are so generous!
After filming, Yin Jun specially treated everyone to a meal in the evening.
This banquet was prepared by a special chef, and the ingredients were very good. Countless people ate with great enthusiasm, and their mouths were full of oil.
Although the three meals a day in the guest house are sumptuous enough, they are still far inferior to such a big meal.
Even the three little girls, who didn't usually eat like this at night, ate less than half a bowl of rice.
Qiu Doudou complained after coming out, and then asked Yin Jun to accompany them for a walk.
In fact, she wanted Yin Jun to be alone with her.
But Xiao Lizhi and Zhou Huimin both have a good relationship with her, and they are also Yin Jun's little sisters. It is impossible for her to do it so obviously.
"Brother Jun, I found that the mainland is actually very good." Qiu Doudou walked beside Yin Jun and said in a playful voice: "The place here is very big and the roads are very spacious. Although it is not that wealthy, the people are also very simple. Everything is cheap!”
"Compared to the past few years, there have been a lot of changes." Yin Jun said with a smile, "Just wait and see, in 10 years or 20 years, the changes in the mainland will make you stunned."
"Twenty years later!" Li Zhi blinked at the side, "I'm already 35 years old, I'm almost getting old."
"What do you mean by that?" Qiu Doudou pinched her cheek, "In 20 years, I will be 38 and already an old woman... I don't know if anyone will still like her!"
While speaking, she stared at Yin Jun, obviously wanting Yin Jun to speak.
Not only her, but also Li Zhi and Zhou Haimei looked at Yin Jun.
"Don't make such a face." Yin Jun laughed, "When you are 40 years old, you will also be my favorite girls! I will be in my forties by then, and maybe I will have grandchildren."
Hearing what Yin Jun said, the three little girls looked happy, but immediately fell into thinking.
Yin Jun didn't know what they were thinking, but they were all pretty much the same, some happy, some melancholy, and some excited.
"There is a limit to the local development prospects of Xiangjiang in the future, but it is different in the mainland." Yin Jun said to them, "For your future filming, it may be unrealistic to go to Hollywood, but coming to the mainland is the best choice for you. The development is also the best.”
"Why not Hollywood?" Qiu Doudou was dissatisfied, "Brother Jun, you promised me that you would let me go to Hollywood to act in the future... All three of us will go!"
"Of course you can go and act, but it's not our home. Foreigners can't understand your performances, and they won't appreciate you." Yin Jun said, "It's different in the mainland. Three beauties from our family will appear. You will definitely be fascinated by them... Well, I heard that many of those students are watching you secretly while filming."
"Hehe, isn't this good?" Qiu Shuzhen said with a smile, "Look, how popular we are? If you don't treat us better, what if we run away?"
"You can't run away." The young man smiled slightly, but his tone was very serious.
Hearing this, the three girls blushed involuntarily, but their hearts suddenly became excited.
A feeling called happiness surrounded their hearts.
