The Storm God

Beijing City, the capital of China, is extremely prosperous.

The hotel that Bai Xiaofei is temporarily renting now is near the third ring road, next to a place of historical interest, naturally there are some high-end hotels in the surrounding area.

After more than two months of hard life in the time and space of wolf warriors, Bai Xiaofei will naturally not treat himself badly when he returns to the real world. He now has tens of thousands of Huaxia coins on him, and in the bank card in the dimensional space, there is also 56 coins that are universal for all time and space. Ten thousand dollars, there is no need to save money!

Bai Xiaofei found a high-end hotel, and planned to taste the delicacies of mountains and seas that he never dared to imagine before.

Bai Xiaofei sat alone in front of a huge dining table. On the table were more than a dozen famous delicacies of the big hotel, such as king crab, Australian lobster, everything that one expects to find! It's not that Bai Xiaofei made a show of buns. He ordered so many dishes to pretend to be b. If you don't order more dishes, you really don't have enough food!

After more than two months of training in Wolf Warrior Time and Space, Bai Xiaofei's physical fitness has improved, and at the same time, his energy consumption has also increased!

Usually a meal, let alone eat the amount of food for two people! What's more, Bai Xiaofei still has injuries on his body now, so he needs to supplement nutrition even more, it's impossible not to eat more!

I have to say that the famous food is delicious!

After eating a table of delicacies, under the stunned eyes of the surrounding diners and waiters, Bai Xiaofei was just about to pay the bill when the phone in his pocket rang.

When I took it out, I found that it was the head portrait of a familiar beauty.

Xiaoxue?

Bai Xiaofei couldn't help being taken aback.

Xiaoxue, whose full name is Zhao Yingxue, is from CZ City, adjacent to HS City where Bai Xiaofei lives, both from Beihe Province, so he can be regarded as a fellow townsman.

Bai Xiaofei met Xiaoxue when he was on the set of "God of War".

At that time, Xiaoxue was in the costume team, responsible for keeping an eye on the scene, just changing the clothes needed for the actors, etc. She was a hard-working, happy and optimistic beauty, and she didn't get fat no matter how much she ate, but her skin was a bit dark, which didn't match her name!

When going out, meeting a fellow villager, she naturally felt very close, plus Bai Xiaofei treated people sincerely, warmly and generously, on the set, Xiaoxue clings to Bai Xiaofei almost every day.

Bai Xiaofei could feel that Xiaoxue seemed to be interested in him, but Bai Xiaofei already had a girlfriend at that time, so he didn't think much about it.

After God of War was finalized, the two parted ways. Although they left contact information, there were very few contacts.

strangeness?

Why did Xiaoxue suddenly think of calling me this late at night?

Bai Xiaofei swiped his finger and connected the phone: "Hi, hello, I'm Bai Xiaofei, and you are...Xiaoxue?"

"Well! Xiaofei, it's me! What's wrong? You haven't contacted me for a long time, and you don't even recognize my phone? You are too ruthless!"

"Ahem... Well, I'm flattered, why did Miss Zhao suddenly think of calling me this late at night? Could it be that the night is long and lonely, and I want to..."

"Bah! Bai Xiaofei, you really haven't changed at all, you are running the train with your mouth full, and you are out of tune at all!"

"Haha... The country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change!"

On the other end of the phone, Xiaoxue paused for a moment, and then continued: "I just accepted a film, a fashion drama, the location is in Beijing, and it is expected to take more than two months to shoot. I am already on the train, tomorrow morning at nine Arrive at the station around 10:00. Don’t you just live in Beijing? I thought to myself, fellow countryman, since I’ve come to Beijing, I should let you know, so I’ll call you!”

"Oh, it turned out to be like this. I thought you missed me... Hey, I won't be poor with you. Be careful on the train! I'm at the station tomorrow, call me and I'll pick it up!"

"Huh! Huh? You didn't work in the theater?"

"No, I asked for two days' leave for something. After finishing the work, it's time to take a rest. You know the situation of the crew, too tired!"

"Oh, so what are you doing now?"

"Dining out, just about to check out and leave, when you called!"

"Haha, then hurry up and pay the bill, I'm hanging up, see you tomorrow!"

"Well, see you tomorrow!"

Hang up the phone, check out and leave.

Back at the hotel, Bai Xiaofei carefully watched "League of Assassins" several times, and looked at the time, I'm going, it's already 2 o'clock in the morning, thinking of going to the train station to pick up someone tomorrow, so I quickly went to bed honestly.

Early the next morning, Bai Xiaofei finished washing, then checked out and left.

The West Railway Station is a little far away from Bai Xiaofei's current location, and Bai Xiaofei is too lazy to squeeze the subway, it's a waste of time to bother, anyway, he is not short of money now, so he took a Didi Express, and he arrived at the train station smoothly all the way.

I looked down at my watch, it was only a little past 8 o'clock, which was still very early.

Bai Xiaofei had no choice but to walk into the nearby KFC, order some food and drink, and wait while he ate.

At around 9 o'clock, Xiaoxue called: "Hey, Xiaofei, I'm here. I'm in the North Square now. Where are you?"

"Stay where you are and don't move, I'm looking for you!"

Bai Xiaofei hung up the phone and immediately rushed to the North Plaza. Before leaving, he didn't forget to order a cold drink from KFC.

A few minutes later.

Bai Xiaofei rushed to the North Square and saw Zhao Yingxue at a glance.

Zhao Yingxue was sitting next to the bus stop, taking advantage of the rest booth at the station to block the sunlight, and there were two large suitcases standing beside her, which looked very heavy.

It was July at this time, and even though it was morning, the temperature was already very high and the sun was very harsh. Zhao Yingxue rushed out of the crowded West Railway Station, sweating all over, and was fanning herself back and forth with her hands to relieve the heat.

In all fairness, Zhao Yingxue is still very pretty, she needs good looks, tall and tall, slim figure, a pair of slender and straight thighs, it makes people drool, no matter how much she eats, she doesn’t get fat, she wears light blue denim Shorts and a white T-shirt, a pair of colored sneakers on his feet, and a ponytail on his head flicking, looking full of youthful atmosphere.

The only fly in the ointment is that Zhao Yingxue's skin is a bit dark, but compared to other advantages, this small disadvantage is tolerable! It is definitely one of the goddesses that many hanging silks dream of!

Bai Xiaofei hurried over and said to Zhao Yingxue: "Xiaoxue, it's very hot! Let's have a cup of freshly baked cold drink to relieve the heat!"

Zhao Yingxue was not polite to Bai Xiaofei either, took the cold drink and drank it directly.

While sipping a cold drink, Zhao Yingxue stared at Bai Xiaofei with big shiny black eyes, and said with a look of surprise: "Xiaofei, have you gone to the gym? You are in such a good shape now!"

Bai Xiaofei's figure is no longer what it used to be. He is muscular and very stylish. Especially against the background of a slightly small T-shirt, his eight-pack abs stand out fiercely, fully displaying the charm of a handsome man. !

Bai Xiaofei laughed, and said, "So-so! Did the crew send you the address?"

Zhao Yingxue nodded and said, "It's over, it's near Wangjing."

Bai Xiaofei asked for the address, then took out his phone and called Didi Express.

There are not many other things at the West Railway Station, except for the large number of people, there are too many cars. The order was picked up as soon as it was sent out, and then within two minutes, the car drove over.

Bai Xiaofei quickly put the two large suitcases in the trunk of the car, then got into the back seat of the car, and said, "Master, please turn up the air conditioner, the weather is too hot!"

The driver of Didi laughed, turned on the air conditioner to the maximum, then drove the car smoothly, and took the two of them to Wangjing.

...

Wangjing.

A five star hotel.

Holding a large suitcase in one hand, Bai Xiaofei followed Zhao Yingxue to the room arranged for her by the crew.

Looking at the luxurious decoration and equipment in the room, Bai Xiaofei couldn't help but praise: "This crew is rich! It's the first time I've seen a crew provide such good accommodation conditions for the staff, and they are usually star actors." How come I can’t keep up with such a magnificent crew!”

Zhao Yingxue said with a smile while tidying up the bed: "That's right! Listen to what my boss said, the production crew has invested nearly 200 million yuan, the name is changed to "Mr. Good", and they are determined to create a Chinese version of "Descendants of the Sun". Whether it's the director, screenwriter, art, costumes, props, scenes, or even our accommodation, they are all first-class!"

Bai Xiaofei curled his lips and said noncommittally: "I hope so!"

Bai Xiaofei, who has been in the entertainment industry for several years, naturally knows the real situation of the crew very well.

It is said that it is an investment of 200 million yuan, but the money actually used for filming is really not much! First of all, the value of actors is getting higher and higher, especially those popular little fresh meats, each of them is ridiculously expensive, tens of millions! For a TV series and movie, why should one or two big names be invited, otherwise where would the popularity and appeal come from? Coupled with the fact that some supporting roles are messed up, seventy to eighty million has already been taken away before the filming of the film!

There are still scenery, costumes, props, venue fees, etc., all of which have to be prepared in advance, and the total cost will be 10 to 20 million. The exact amount depends on the content of the script.

Second, there is the part of post-production and special effects.

Especially the production of special effects is a big money burner, and even for some films, the cost of special effects alone can account for more than half of the total investment!

Excluding the above expenses, the investment of 200 million yuan can save about 30 to 40 million yuan, which is already very good!

40 million, for a crew, it's really not much!

Director, screenwriter, producer, the cost is not low; the daily consumption of dressing and makeup, the food and drink of at least 100 crew members, cars, box cars, photographic equipment, lights, etc., after 6 or 70 days, rent The cost is also quite a lot, and some extras are invited from time to time, all of which are money inside and out.

In many big productions in the past, it was said that the amount of investment was huge, the cast was so strong, art, screenwriting, photography, post-production, special effects, etc., all hired well-known Hollywood figures, etc., but what was actually produced was rubbish. A push! Then it was sprayed all over the body, and the smell was indescribable!

As everyone knows, it's not that the director and others are weak, but poor!

Why can Hollywood make such a coquettish, blockbuster movie that sells all over the world? That's because people invested a lot of money! If hundreds of millions of dollars are exchanged into Huaxia currency, it will be billions! Have you ever seen a film in China with an investment of billions of dollars?

Thinking of the inside story of domestic film and television production, Bai Xiaofei couldn't help shaking his head.

Sighing, Bai Xiaofei asked Zhao Yingxue, "Xiaoxue, do you know who the photographer of this movie is?"
