Chapter 325 Samba.beach.Carnival chapter.

Kirin Group has its own business jet, and Li Wei also has his own private jet, but this time the crew of "Fast Speed" still chartered two planes.After all, Li Wei's studio is Li Wei's private company independent of Kirin Group, so it is a bit unreasonable to use the group's business jet.

The planes that Li Wei contracted this time are a wide passenger plane and a super large transport plane.The main purpose of choosing a wide passenger plane is to make everyone more comfortable when flying, and Li Wei and other high-level executives can choose the second floor of the cabin, and leave the first floor of the cabin to the employees, so as to avoid the embarrassment of the employees caused by the presence of executives.As for the transport plane, it is full of new sports cars sponsored by Germanic Motors.According to Li Wei's plan, all these sports cars will crash in Samba.Facing the grand plan of Li Wei, the prodigal, CEO He Zhao said that his heart was bleeding; while the crew members who participated in the filming were beaten like chicken blood, what's so good about driving a supercar?Have you ever seen us bump into a supercar like this?

Before departure, Li Wei also sent a press release to the major media through the PR department. Unfortunately, the media did not focus on the movie "Wild Speed", but the prop car that Li Wei took out for use. I was startled.Many readers said that they watched the news on their knees, and cried and expressed their hope that they could work in the film crew, as long as they touched these supercars, they would be satisfied.It's a pity that Li Wei didn't see their request, but took off from Donghai Xindonghai International Airport with the crew.

The flight from the East China Sea to Guanabara City in Samba is one of the few ultra-long flights in China, so it needs to stop halfway to replenish fuel.Since the flight is chasing the sun, Li Wei deliberately chose an evening flight to prevent everyone from having a good rest on the plane.At first, everyone was quite excited. After all, Li Wei Studio is a new company, and many employees are going abroad for the first time; while other employees who have been abroad are going to such a long-distance country for the first time.It's just that in the face of a long and boring journey, everyone gradually calmed down after less than an hour of excitement.

When the plane stopped at the first stop in Edo City, Dongying Country, there were still a few energetic young people who went to the duty-free shop to buy something; They basically slept soundly, except for a few people who went to the bathroom to release themselves.Li Wei's super first-class cabin is an apartment type, not only has a bed, but also an independent bathroom (although it is also very small), so Li Wei silently drank the free champagne provided by the crew, studied the script, and returned a few letters by the way. mail.

Because Zhou Xiao happened to be in Citigroup at this time, but unfortunately he was busy with the opening and promotion of the new store in New York, so he didn't have time to come here at all.Yushanfang's market in North America has also expanded a lot. Not only have branches in major cities in Citigroup, but also the flagship store of Yushanfang has opened in the neighboring Maple Leaf Country.Li Wei knows that this is not good for a career partner, and they will neglect their relationship because they are busy with work.Why do couples in the entertainment circle don't last long?Apart from the temptation of too many sensual dogs and horses in the entertainment industry, the other reason is nothing more than work.

Fortunately, Li Wei and Zhou Xiao are not the kind of people who see differences and want to change, so they still maintain their relationship silently.And unlike Li Wei's assets, which have entered a period of steady growth, Zhou Xiao's assets are still in a period of rapid growth.If there must be one person who sacrifices his career, then it should be Li Wei.After Zhou Xiao and Li Wei exchanged heartfelt emails, Li Wei was no match for drowsiness, so he changed into a set of comfortable clothes and fell asleep on the plane.

After the plane landed at Guanabara International Airport in Samba, everyone felt the vitality of early spring in the southern hemisphere as soon as they got off the plane.Because Guanabara is located in the subtropics and is affected by the ocean climate, it is not as humid as the early spring in China, but rather dry.Everyone boarded the bus arranged by the team at the gate of the airport and went to the hotel to rest.The hotel is also contracted by Li Wei's studio to avoid disturbing people, and it is also convenient to provide special services.Li Wei and the protagonists stayed in business suites, while the rest were arranged in double rooms or ordinary rooms.Although the hotel is not particularly luxurious, the private beach provided by the hotel still excites many people.Li Wei was worried that these people were going crazy, so through the producer, he asked everyone to take a good rest today to adjust to the jet lag, otherwise they would not have the energy to start work tomorrow.

After explaining the trivial matters, Li Wei chatted with the coordinating producer who rushed here in the early stage about the preparatory work.Thanks to the help of the cultural counselor of the consulate, Li Wei's studio successfully connected with the Ministry of Culture and the Police Headquarters of Samba.After some public relations, they finally got through to a higher level.The local government also welcomed Li Wei's filming and was willing to provide cooperation.However, according to the feedback from the coordinating producer, the local government's statement was somewhat perfunctory.Li Wei also knows that Samba is a federal country, and the central government and the local government are not directly subordinate, so the relationship between the upper levels must be well established, and the relationship between the local government must also be good.

After listening, Li Wei asked: "Let's do it this way. You'll spend money on public relations anyway, and you don't care about the cost. You can communicate with the city government and express that we are willing to donate money to replace the city government's office equipment. Primary and secondary schools in the city provide sporting goods. In addition, we communicated with the city police station that we are willing to donate a batch of police cars.” In addition to appeasing the mood of the city government, it is important for the local culture and education department and the police The department was satisfied, so Li Wei selected schools and police stations for donations.

After getting through all the links on the surface, Li Wei certainly knows that there are still some links under the table to be cleared up.The police station also pointed out a way for Li Wei in terms of donating new cars, so Li Wei had to spend money to avoid disaster.Anyway, the production team also needs a group of local security personnel, who should they look for?So the bosses got the money, and the younger brothers also got the job, and everyone was happy.Although Li Wei didn't have much affection for this group of people on the fringes of society, this group of people kept their promises, and they really did practical things with the money.Be aware that many of the shots were shot in slums, where there are too many petty thefts.If it's just a loss of money, it's fine, but if a part of the camera is stolen, then go around and have fun.With the care of this group of special security guards, Li Wei's crew did not suffer any harassment.

Because the car chase scene is mainly filmed here, which is one of the most important scenes in the opening of the film, Li Wei has repeatedly studied it with the stunt personnel.Of course, some particularly thrilling scenes can be realized by using special effects, but if all special effects are used for special effects, then the authenticity of the movie will be worrying.In particular, there are several close-up shots of the leading actors that need to be completed under special effects, which made the leading actors and the managers who came here very nervous.The face and body of an actor can be discounted directly. If an action actor is injured, how much film will he lose?How many movies will an idol actor lose if his face is damaged?In particular, most of these stunt shots are related to burning. It would be a big loss if our own actors were burned.Although Li Wei repeatedly guaranteed safety and offered a sky-high insurance contract, the mood of the actors was still a little low.

In order not to worry the actors, Li Wei queued all the scenes that required the actors to act in person to the end, and at the same time arranged for the actors to watch the performances of the stuntmen and stuntmen.This can be regarded as a kind of side encouragement, since others are not worried, why should I worry about myself?

After a month of shooting, the shots of the country of Samba were finally finished, and the next step was to go to the capital of Miqi country to shoot the scene.Before leaving, Li Wei suddenly discovered that the next day was actually a week-long grand carnival.Li Wei thought for a while, and postponed the filming plan to Miqi Country for a week.After all, everyone is worried about heavy workload this month, and it is okay to have a carnival to relax.Li Wei's arrangement was naturally welcomed by everyone. This kind of paid holiday is not something that is generally enjoyed.

Although the Huaxia people are a bit restrained, it also depends on the occasion.For example, in the era of carnivals, Li Wei saw that all of his subordinates were excited.The girls danced there in swimsuits, and the guys swayed to the rhythm.And Li Wei was drinking the specialty cocktail here on the balcony of the hotel.I have to say that although it is still a bit cold in spring, Li Wei also feels that his emotions are getting better after seeing everyone swaying so enthusiastically.

It is also necessary to stop from the country of Samba to the country of Mi Qi, but this time the stop is at the airport in Greater New York.Originally, many people wanted to take this opportunity to see New York, but they found out that the scope of Greater New York is very large, and this so-called Greater New York airport is located in a large suburb five hours away from New York City, so everyone returned to the city angrily. He fell asleep in his seat with his head covered.Li Wei only smiled slightly at the behavior of these people, and then continued to check his work email.

"The Splendid Red Maple" was released from mainstream theaters a month after its release, and is currently only shown in second-round movie theaters or low-cost theaters.And the box office brought by "The Brilliant Red Maple" surpassed "My Diary of a Broken Love" and became the box office champion of the film directed by Li Wei.But the only thing that makes Li Wei a little regretful is that this movie obviously does not have the possibility of a box office of tens of billions.

In China, the "Ten Billion Box Office Club" is the ultimate goal that every film director and actor is pursuing. So far, only three directors and five actors have achieved it.Li Wei knows very well that the "Ten Billion Box Office Club" must be a super-big production with a production cost of 30 to [-] billion, and besides the plot and special effects to attract the audience, the acting skills of the actors and the concept of the director must also be implemented well.It is true that these tens of billions of box office films are purely commercial films, but if their depth of thought is really discussed, they will not be much worse than ordinary literary films.

Li Wei is very clear that he still has at least five years to go before exporting such a movie.Before that, it is more realistic to win two big prizes, or five small prizes before two big prizes, right?

When the plane arrived at the airport of the capital of Miqi, the humid mid-autumn air made the crew members who had just finished the carnival feel unwell.Seeing that something was wrong, Li Wei immediately asked the crew to contact the local medical institution for a flu shot.However, because Li Wei and the others are not citizens of the Mi Qi country, and there is no local medical insurance, this flu vaccination really cost Li Wei a lot of money.

Seeing the dark face of the coordinating producer, Li Wei also knew that the budget this time was too big.However, Li Wei still thinks it is worth the investment. If someone in the crew gets infected with the flu and the whole crew shuts down, the loss will be even greater.However, because the extra injection cost led to budgetary expenses, Li Wei had no choice but to speed up the shooting schedule and try to save money from other aspects.
