Chapter 487
We talked with the little guy for more than half an hour, and saw that although he was shy, he didn't show any fear at all, and there was no problem in communicating.
And let him dance impromptu and dance obediently, let him make angry or crying expressions, and he will do the same.
The crew members' eyes lit up when they saw that although he was upset, he didn't cry or strike.
Director Horn has seen some young actors, how difficult it is to deal with.
Trying to get McCauley to hold the microphone with his hands, he stood in front of the mirror and sang silently along with the soft music.
And while instructing him, he repeated it more than a dozen times, and the little guy didn't show any sign of getting angry.
Li Changheng immediately decided to use this brat.
"Boss, just him."
Director Ryan said with satisfaction, "From my experience, as long as young actors are cute and easy to communicate with, they are willing to follow directions.
The rest is nothing more than wasting some film, spending more time on continuous training, and shooting a few more scenes.
But after the filming starts, it's better to shoot other actors' scenes first, and then let the crew and key actors get acquainted with this little guy first. "
Li Changheng nodded knowingly, dealing with children is nothing more than eating delicious food and playing with him.
Looking at the others, the casting director shrugged directly, indicating that he was fine.
The photographer thought for a while before saying, "If the little guy can get a little fatter, he should be a little cuter after being photographed by the camera."
"Come on, Carl, don't expect a 6-year-old child to restrain his appetite once he gets used to eating sweets."
Producer Dennis Murphy said to Li Changheng with a smile, "Boss, this kid is so obedient and talented, in terms of saving time, he can save a lot of money.
If I were the director, I would definitely choose this obedient and persistent little guy. "
After listening to producer Dennis' words, Li Changheng smiled and nodded.
The remuneration of the entire crew, including the actors, is calculated on a daily basis.
In addition to the rented venue, photographic equipment, etc., the shorter the time, the lower the cost.
As for Dennis's mission, apart from assisting Li Changheng and the director, the only thing he cares about and is responsible for is the cost.
Lee Jang Hyung picked up McCawley who had already started to smile after hearing everyone's words.
Looking at the time, he said to the casting director Dick, "The leader of the stupid duo must choose an actor who is short, fat, and has a wretched expression, but looks like he has a sense of joy.
As for the actors of the protagonist Kevin's brother and sister, you can figure it out. Anyway, in your next movie, you need actors who are not elementary school students.
As for me, I have a day off today. "
Director Renn smiled and said, "No way, BOSS, this is not like you."
Li Changheng shrugged with a smile, and then said to Macaulay, "As a reward, how about I take you fishing?"
The little guy nodded happily.
Saying goodbye to the main members of the crew, Li Changheng carried the little guy out, and then took Anne, Madeleine, and Zhang Tianzhi to Hyde Park.
Then a phone call came from Buckingham Palace to call the butler and two servants with fishing tackle, picnic food and utensils.
Rested in a relaxed state of mind for an afternoon.
After another week of busy work, the time came to September 11th, and all the roles were finally selected.
While reading the script at the actors' concentration, Li Changheng had a headache again whether to go to the Scottish Highland cities or to make artificial snow in London.
The whole plot is about Christmas. The little protagonist Kevin's family is going to travel to other countries, but the whole family goes to bed late and rushes to the airport, accidentally leaving Kevin at home.
A series of hilarious family carnival movies that happen when you meet two stupid thieves, just make you laugh, no matter whether it is reasonable or not.
After carefully recalling the entire plot of the movie, and realizing that some jokes really needed snow, Li Changheng decided to spend an extra hundred thousand to make snow without any further hesitation.
But he didn't expect that someone would send him money when the movie was about to start shooting.
Looking at Grosvenor who appeared in front of him with Andrew, Li Changheng asked with a smile, "Are you sure that what you said on the phone is not only providing me with a shooting area.
Is it true that the villa where the entire crew lives is also in charge of making artificial snow? "
Andrew shrugged and glanced at Grosvenor, seeing him with a begging look in his eyes.
Then he sighed and said, "I was encouraged by this guy to invest 6 million pounds together in the lakeside town of Hadar, north of London.
I bought land and built a wooden structure holiday country villa project that can build 12 buildings of about 2 to 300 square meters.
But the villa has been built, but only 3 houses were sold in half a year. "
Li Changheng immediately understood that these two guys wanted to make the villa project famous through the movie and his fame.
Then he quickly realized that Andrew must have invested very, very little money.
Not even shooting at all, just helping Grosvenor once.
Otherwise, there was a problem with the project of that villa, and he would have come to him long ago.
Thinking of this, Li Changheng couldn't help but think that as the leader of this group of people, they have difficulties, if only to offer ideas.
Or if it doesn't affect your own interests, then you still have to help if you can.
And where the movie is filmed, it doesn't make much difference, and going to a small town can also keep you away from the crowd of onlookers and reporters.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look?"
When I arrived at the destination, I thought the place would be very remote, but I didn't expect that the villa area is less than 1 km away from the town.
Moreover, although these villas are all made of wood, their design has the taste of a large country villa in the United States.
Then Li Changheng quickly understood, and asked Grosvenor with a smile, "Is there a competitor in the architectural style, the self-esteem of the English.
Also, London is rainy all the year round, and wooden buildings are not easy to maintain. I deliberately belittle and ridicule you? "
Grosvenor was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in surprise and dejection, "I would have asked your opinion first before deciding whether to cooperate with a company in the US."
Then he said with firm eyes, "Henry, 3 million pounds is not a big deal for me, but this is the first time I have run a project alone.
The consequences of failure will involve many aspects, so I owe you a favor and help me once. "
Now it was Li Changheng's turn to be surprised.
But when you think of the United States, the bank interest rate was only 2.1% in the past year.
Immediately, it occurred to the Americans that in order to maintain the Viet Nam War, the low interest rate was to stimulate funds to enter the fields of military industry, military supplies, and steel.
But everything has advantages and disadvantages, and low interest rates are also a good thing for the real estate industry in the United States.
But the war emptied the wealth of the United States, and also poored the wallets of the Americans.
It is a problem for many people to support a family, let alone buy a house.
This has led many real estate developers to inevitably focus on projects in other countries that look good.
