Chapter 605 Is this configuration really acceptable?
When a film crew moves to a location to shoot, they usually book a hotel for the crew members to stay in. Therefore, every extra day a TV series is delayed can waste a lot of money.
This is why directors and producers don't really like actors who drag out their scenes or film multiple projects at once.
A hotel in Dongjiang City had already put up a sign that it was fully booked.
Because the film crew of "Raging Storm" booked the entire hotel, even the hotel's surveillance system was taken over. In addition to leading people to maintain the filming location, Ah Pao also personally oversaw the hotel's surveillance room.
As for the top-level surveillance system, it was all broken, and whether it was deliberately damaged is not important.

In the presidential suite.
Chen Jincheng was intently looking at the news in his hand. It was about the progress of Kuaishou's IPO. Kuaishou had already begun its final three months of promotional campaign, and even before its IPO, its stock valuation had already exceeded one trillion.

Chen Jincheng's phone rang; it was Old Chen calling. The fish market had already made arrangements.
As he went downstairs, he was followed by Sister Hehe, Ximeng, and the two female leads, Long Ni and Zhang Tianai.
Upon arriving at the lobby, they found the film crew already waiting. The regular staff had naturally gone ahead, leaving only the actors. The production crew had arranged a special van, but director Chen Jincheng and the two female leads rode in a separate bus. The other actors, of course, were also very considerate.
This director is no ordinary director; he's a big shot in the film industry, a super-rich man who can bury people in money.
Look at the car project that the other party discussed with that Mr. Lei. They only talked about it at the short drama awards ceremony, and now the funds are in place, and Mr. Lei has already started working on it with great enthusiasm.
Chen Jincheng also saw the actors: Zhang Yi, Zhang Songwen, Zhang Zhijian, Wu Gang, Nida Hong, etc. Most of them were the original cast from another world. As for those who hadn't entered the industry, they had to be replaced.
Although many people in the industry are criticizing Chan Kam-ching now, questioning what he said to Chairman Liu of the Film and Television Association, and feeling that he is rich but disrespectful to seniors in the film and television industry, no one would refuse if Chan Kam-ching approached them for a collaboration.
Even though the other party is rich, it's still money.
"Director Chen!" Zhang Yi greeted Chen Jincheng with a smile. Chen's presence was thanks to his connections at CCTV.
"Director Chen, what are your instructions for today?" Zhang Songwen hurriedly got up to greet him, his attitude extremely polite. After all, this was the only time in his life that he had played the male lead.
Although there are many criticisms of him now, with some saying that this is not an opportunity for him and that participating in the Chen Jincheng TV series is a trap, he firmly believes that he is the protagonist, and if he gives his all to the role of Gao Qiqiang, he will definitely be outstanding.
"Just do your best," Chen Jincheng said with a smile. He knew that the other person really needed an opportunity right now, and was eager to perform in this drama.
On the first day, the gratitude was endless, and he got impatient with it so much that he simply said, "Your boss has already thanked him on your behalf."
That's right. Both the other party and Long Ni are artists signed by Sister Hehe's company. Sister Hehe not only expressed her gratitude herself, but also brought the artists along to express their gratitude.
Afterwards, the other actors also greeted him, especially Nida Hong, a veteran actor with a special status in the industry.
Chan Kam-ching and the other party met through the TV series "All Is Well".
"Ms. Ni, I'll arrange your scenes as soon as possible. It won't interfere with your other film," Chen Jincheng greeted her with a smile. "Thank you for your trouble, Director Chen," Ni Dahong replied gratefully.
Ah Pao knew that the boss had also set off, so he came down with several burly men to follow and protect him.
A little while later, the group boarded a bus and drove to a fish market.
The crew of "Raging Storm" has already rented this place for filming. When the bus stopped, you could see a group of burly men in black suits with tattoos all over their bodies stationed there.
These are all Ah Pao's underlings.
In fact, in Linhai City, A Pao was a figure like the Dragon and Tiger Brothers under Gao Qiqiang.
Yesterday, Chen Jincheng was far superior to people like Gao Qiqiang, and he wouldn't let A Pao do anything criminal. As for these underlings, nightclubs need people like him, and sometimes they need such people to keep things in check.
The actors, after getting out of the car, naturally saw this scene as well. To be honest, it was quite a frightening sight.
Although the production team said that these people were extras, all there to play the subordinates of big shots like Gao Qiqiang, their demeanor made them look nothing like extras.
Just by standing there, you can tell they're people of the martial arts world; you can tell from their demeanor.
Chen Jincheng was also very satisfied with this; Ah Pao knew how to pick people and had a strong presence.
When this group of true江湖人 (jianghu people, martial arts practitioners) reenacts the scene of Xu Jiang gathering people for a fight, their sheer presence will be incomparable to anything seen before.
Old Chen was already on set arranging camera positions and handling all sorts of other things. To put it simply, he was doing all the director's work, while the director was busy picking up girls at the hotel.
However, he went to great lengths to add his name to the director's section, even hiring three assistants who graduated from directing programs.
"Boss, everything is ready, we can start filming." Old Chen reported immediately when he saw the boss arrive.
"Yes!" Chen Jincheng nodded.
Today is the first day of filming, which is about fishmonger Gao Qiqiang meeting An Xin due to the oppression of the Tang brothers. He is misunderstood as having An Xin as his backer and begins to taste the power.
The police station scenes will be filmed later. We'll film all the scenes in one location at once. For example, we'll start filming all the scenes at the fish market now, from Gao Qiqiang's entrance to Lao Mo's exit. Once we've filmed everything, we'll change the scene.
After filming began, all the actors were very interested. Although they had agreed to act, they had no idea what the future of the film would be like.
They initially thought that even if Chan Kam-ching wanted to direct a TV series, he would probably find a well-known director to direct it and then sign his own name on it. After all, Second Generation Stars now has a great director.
But no one expected that Chan Kam-ching would actually direct it himself.
Even the cinematographers are a group of people who shoot short videos, or interns who have just graduated. Can such a lineup really produce a drama with such a large investment?
Nida Hong felt the same way, so he paid close attention from the start of filming. (End of Chapter)
