Chapter 197 Poor, too poor
Although he was just a minor role in the movie, for a construction unit that advocates the power of role models, having such a person can greatly boost its visibility and morale.

Especially when you go out to dinner with Party A after a meeting, these will all be topics of conversation.

In places like this, in addition to work ability and background, having a good reputation can also help you get promoted faster.

The situation was similar for a few guys on the other construction site.

Although their highest rank so far is the surveying supervisor, and two others with lower education are still construction workers, they will definitely receive some preferential treatment after they return this time.

"The rule is that I can't post on WeChat Moments. When the movie comes out, I have to post one every day. Even if I have to treat everyone, I have to take everyone I know to see it."

"Of course. Being able to appear in a movie would bring honor to the family. I plan to transfer 5,000 yuan to my parents and ask them to bring everyone they know to see it."

"This is so cool! Celebrities treat me to meals every day! I can brag about this for the rest of my life."

Everyone is very happy.

But as we chatted, we started talking about acting.

Actually, they were all people called over by Zhou Le.

If he doesn't perform well, it will bring shame to Zhou Le.

After that, they filmed in the crew during the day and went out to eat at night. They saw that all the artists had to give face to Zhou Le and were also quite polite to them, which made them feel even better.

I have never felt so good in my life!

The days passed by.

Zhou Le's scenes were particularly easy to shoot. In the middle, Zhou Le even asked director Liu Weiqiang some common sense questions about airplanes.

For example, the original script wrote that the captain put on the mask himself, but whether based on the prototype or based on reality, it is difficult for the captain himself to perform this operation.

After hearing this, Liu Weiqiang also revised the script.

As for the seemingly unreasonable things like the fact that half of a person was sucked out but still able to survive, and the character played by Zhou Le returning to work six months after the accident, this was actually the case in the prototype.

As for other scenes, such as the passengers expressing their gratitude after landing, the plane passing through a thunderstorm that was not in the original prototype, and the captain played by Zhang Hanyu going straight home after getting off the plane, etc., the second one is artistic processing, but the first one is simply helpless.

This must be changed.

You can't just film the passengers asking for compensation right after they land.

Although these are what should be done, they are not good after all and will affect the overall viewing experience of the movie.

The third one actually doesn’t make sense in Zhou Le’s opinion.

After all, when this kind of problem occurs, whether it is a problem with the captain or the aircraft, the crew members must accept the investigation of the investigation team as soon as possible.

Understand the whole story.

Instead of going straight home.

But in order to show the family here, this is the only way to shoot it.

These were things Zhou Le couldn't tell his brothers. All he could say was that the prototype captain was indeed very powerful. After the incident, this operation was simulated dozens of times but could not be perfectly replicated.

The filming took place from April to May.

By the end of the month, Zhou Le had not only finished filming all his scenes in Wuxi, but also went out to complete the third stop of the CRC Rally.

The result is still first in Group N.

Fan Gaoxiang was second. But Zhou Le would have to start getting seriously busy in June, and for him, being able to quietly stay on set and film was like taking a vacation.

"Director Liu, I'll leave the crew first. After I finish promoting the two movies I'm currently starring in, the crew will probably be in Chengdu. I'll go directly to Chengdu then.

If anything else comes up, just ask them to call me. I'll definitely find time to come back. After all, movie promotion is one thing, but my main focus must still be on our crew."

Zhou Le left the group after saying goodbye.

The people Zhou Le found left after finishing their parts. The brothers returned to their jobs of building the country, while Yu Shuxin and others from the studio started to go out and appear on shows.

Since Zhou Le was promoting a movie this time, all his food, clothing and other expenses were arranged by the film company, and there was nothing for Su Yingxia to do, so Su Yingxia simply returned to the company to help other artists with variety shows and filming.

Jiaozi's "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" and Jiang Wen's "Hidden Man" will both be released in July, but both sides still need to shoot some promotional videos before the release.

And relevant interviews must also be kept up with.

"Le'er, long time no see. How come you look a lot stronger than before? Have you been feeling less stressed during filming lately?"

Jiang Wen teased.

"Director Jiang, please don't say that. How can filming be stress-free? There's the box office and the acting, and I have to take care of the other actors over there, and I have social events to attend to in the evening. I'm so busy I'm practically dying."

Although Zhou Le has now started a company, he is still an employee in the crew.

As a worker, the two most important things you should pay attention to are that when someone asks about your income, you should say that you don’t earn much, and when someone asks if you are busy at work, you must say that you are very busy.

Zhou Le, who used to be a slave, would never make mistakes on these topics.

Jiang Wen has a wide network of contacts, and after filming the promotional video, he took Zhou Le to interviews everywhere.

Tencent Pictures, the parent company of the film, naturally arranged an interview for Zhou Le on this website. When "Hidden Man" is released, they will also help promote it and provide some good recommended resources.

But after finishing with Jiang Wen, Zhou Le came to Jiaozi.

The quality of life began to decline visibly.

Following Jiang Wen, we eat meat and fish every day, but it’s good enough to have a meal in a restaurant occasionally at Jiaozi’s place. Usually, we either order takeout or cook something at home.

"Why are you still so poor?"

Zhou Le asked with a sigh.

"Alas, there's really nothing we can do. We've actually been very frugal with our spending, but we're still spending money very quickly. It's only because you, Brother Le, helped us find a singer who was willing to sing for us for free. Otherwise, we'd be completely broke right now."

"Ugh."

Zhou Le really felt the embarrassment here.

"But it doesn't matter. Right now, our most important thing is to get the movie released. I'll find some media outlets to interview us later, and I'll cover the expenses. But we still need to promote the movie. During this time, you guys can just follow me and shoot some Douyin and live streams. No matter what, let's do some free publicity first."

"it is good."

Now Jiaozi has really no other choice. The investment from Guangxian is limited. After all, they will not put all their eggs in one basket.

In comparison, Zhou Le's help can be said to be unsparing.

While leading the creative team to shoot Douyin videos and do live broadcasts for promotion, Zhou Le also contacted many friends and asked them to come and help out if they were free.

Among them, Guo Fan was the most active, because that was how Zhou Le helped him in the beginning.
