Why choose to shoot "Nightclub"? It's not because it's so classic, but because the cost of this movie is very low. All the scenes in the movie take place in a small supermarket, so after deducting the actor's pay, just rent a supermarket and you can successfully invest in the film, and you don't even have to go to the sets.

Currently, there are not many supermarkets open for 24 hours, and the filming time of this movie is all at night. Since the supermarket is not open at night, it can make a small profit if you rent it out. I believe many supermarkets will be willing to do it.

"Brother, we can also talk to the supermarket and save all the rent," Li Xiaohu discussed with the big brother: "For example, when we shoot movies in the supermarket, once the movie is released, it is equivalent to making a free advertisement for the supermarket. So when negotiating with the supermarket, we can let the supermarket use rent as sponsorship fee. At most, we can give the supermarket a big close-up to the name of the supermarket at that time."

"I think there are not many supermarkets with this kind of commercial vision in Zhonghai City at present," Li Xiaoshan smiled and then looked at his younger brother with admiration. "But your idea is quite novel, I will try it. In fact, there are several supermarkets in front of our house, everyone knows it well and is usually accustomed to me. I want to come to the door. Even if they don't agree to be free, the rent will probably not be very expensive."

Another big expense can be saved. Li Xiaohu was happy and turned to the topic of the actor: "Brother, you have been in the crew and should know a lot of people. Is there any actor that matches the role in the script? Is it recommended?"

"In addition to the four main characters you mentioned just now, I think there are only a few supporting characters with a little more scenes in it: Wang Sufen, the boss of the supermarket, is a bit stupid fat tire; a robber with a Shaanxi accent; Oh, there is also a policeman who appears at the beginning and end of the film," Li Xiaoshan counted with his fingers, and then said: "The rest are all supporting characters with only a few lines, isn't that true?"

Li Xiaohu nodded and said, "It's basically all together, how about it? Can you find someone?"

"It should be no problem. Many of the characters can be directly brought to my classmates to play, but their acting skills are definitely not as good as those professional actors. You must be mentally prepared," Li Xiaoshan agreed confidently, "As for the pay, I have found acquaintances, and I will just have a little meaning at that time."

Li Xiaohu calculated that if the "Shenzhou Wuhun" magazine could pay all the 400,000 yuan saved manuscripts in his computer at one time, he would get 60,000 yuan, but this amount of money would be difficult to buy film.

"The remuneration must be based on the market conditions, otherwise there will be disputes in the future, and it will be difficult for you, brother, to do it," Li Xiaohu shook his head and said seriously: "I don't have much money now, but brother, you can tell your classmates or friends that if they agree to pay the remuneration after the movie is released, I can give them double the remuneration. By the way, brother, you can estimate, according to the normal market conditions, what is your classmates, plus all the supporting actors, how much is the total remuneration?"

"If a movie is only filmed for ten days as you said, then I guess everyone's pay should be almost a few thousand yuan." Li Xiaoshan quickly gave the answer.

"No way? So little?" Li Xiaohu was shocked. If there was only such a little, why would he be embarrassed for a long time?

"What do you think?" Li Xiaoshan laughed, "Do you know how much money can I get in a day when I play a supporting role in the "Iron Fist" crew?" He opened his palm, "Fifty, only fifty dollars a day, but even so, there are many people who come to compete with me, haha..."

Sure enough, all newcomers have no human rights, and Li Xiaohu has realized it again.

He remembered that many celebrities had been playing supporting roles in his previous life, and their pay was only enough to make a box lunch, which was a bitter cry. The famous Stephen Chow even brought his experience of playing supporting roles to the big screen. The movie "The King of Comedy" not only received a box office sluggishness, but also earned tears from countless people.

"Okay, brother, you will help me find actors tomorrow, rent photography equipment, and rent supermarkets," Li Xiaohu threw the whole story to his elder brother. "I am now officially hiring you to serve as the deputy director and producer of the "Nightclub" crew. In the future, you will have to worry about any big and small matters in the crew. Don't worry, I will pay you a salary and will not let you work in vain."

Li Xiaoshan smiled helplessly, but of course he was obliged to help his younger brother, so even though he smiled bitterly, things still had to be done.

In fact, he was still very interested in the tasks assigned by his younger brother. When he was in school, what he learned was very complicated because it was difficult for him to make a comeback in his major, so he had to seek multi-faceted development and learn everything. After learning so many things, he never practiced them before. Now it is a good opportunity to exercise.

...

The next morning, Li Xiaoshan almost went out with his younger brother. He had a lot of tasks today, so of course he had to hurry up.

Li Xiaohu came to school early and will be officially on holiday today. Everyone is absent-minded in morning self-study. Some people are happy and some are worried, because the exam results will be announced later. This is a major event that concerns whether everyone can have a stable New Year.

"How is it? Have you discussed with Brother Xiaoshan? Should I start filming during the winter vacation?" Zhang Xiaoming asked anxiously: "Where is the script? Come on, I'll take a look..."

"Well, I'll see this winter vacation, you can live in my house, and it's convenient to shoot," Li Xiaohu handed the script to his deskmate, "Be careful, this is the original manuscript, the only one, and I have to copy a few more copies later. By the way, I'll go to your uncle's place in the afternoon, and my shooting funds are all directed to your uncle..."

"I get it," Zhang Xiaoming waved his hand and buried his head in the script.

I was fascinated by this sight. From time to time, I would giggle like a lunatic child. Even when I was having breakfast in the cafeteria, I laughed several times, repeatedly giving Li Xiaohu a thumbs up and shouting that he was talented.

In the first class in the morning, in a solemn atmosphere, the head teacher who taught mathematics walked into the classroom.

"Hu Zi, why are you so nervous? You can't you be afraid of eating small eggs? I heard that you have fallen asleep in three exams?" Zhang Xiaoming was very open-minded and didn't worry about his score at all. He knew how many points he should get.

"Hehe," Li Xiaohu smiled, without refuting, but he felt a little nervous. He had high expectations for his grades, so he naturally cared for it.

The head teacher's surname is Guo, and he is a very powerful old man. When he walked into the classroom, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. His eyes stayed on Li Xiaohu's face for a moment, making Li Xiaohu's heart even more up and down.

"In this final exam, I want to especially praise a classmate. He has made great progress. From the past, he often ranked at the bottom of the class, to now he has become the first place in the total score of the liberal arts class in the whole grade. He has made great progress and ranks first in the school and is worthy of everyone's learning," the head teacher, Mr. Guo, looked a little strange, as if he was happy, suspicious, and unhappy. He ignored the discussions below, held a grade list in his hand, raised it in the air, and said, "I won't talk about this person's name for now, let's see it for yourself..."

The students below have been in a mess. There are more than one person in the class who often has the bottom score, so it is difficult to tell who the class teacher is talking about. Everyone is curious. Since they are at the bottom, how can they get the first place in the school's total score?

The grade ranking table has been copied many copies, one for each person. This is to be taken home and signed for parents, indicating that the parents have already checked the ranking. When they return to school next year, the ranking table will be submitted.

Teacher Guo, the head teacher, gave the ranking list to each of the students in the front row like a test paper, so that everyone could pass it from front to back.

Every student who got the grade list couldn't wait to look at the high-ranking name and the prominent score. Then everyone took a breath of air and looked back at the same time.

"Huzi," Zhang Xiaoming poked Li Xiaohu with his elbow and said in wonder: "Do you think they are looking at me or you?"
