[unexpected signs Chapter 18]

    Pei Shaoze''s visit to the troupe has become the focus of the whole audience. The picture of him chatting with Cheng Xia soon attracted the attention of the staff. Many curious eyes aimed at him. It seems that everyone is guessing what is the relationship between Pei and Cheng Xia, and how can he talk with Cheng Xia alone?

    Looking around, Cheng Xia is uncomfortable, so she lowers her head and pretends to tidy up the fast food.

    Pei Shaoze aware of Cheng Xia''s dilemma, took the initiative to give him a step: "you eat first, I''ll go there to have a look."

    The man turns to leave, Cheng Xia this just gently exhale breath.

    Just now, Mr. Pei was very close to him. His heart beat faster and he had difficulty breathing. I don''t know why, when he is alone with this alpha, he can''t help being nervous. When he is with other alpha, he doesn''t feel this way. Cheng Xia thinks about it carefully. The biggest possibility is that he once lost control of his pheromone in front of Pei Shaoze. That night, he was lying on Pei Shaoze''s bed with nothing on. He pestered the other side to ask for a mark. Of course, I''m sorry to see Mr. Pei.

    It embarrasses Cheng Xia as soon as he thinks about it. He simply doesn''t want to go out with a bag of takeout.

    Due to the limited space of the shooting scene, director Zhang simply asked the school leaders to borrow a meeting room to let everyone in to eat, and told them: "you eat in the room, and remember to take away the garbage after eating!"

    Cheng Xia came into the room and found that her agent was also there. She sat down beside Zhou Yan and cried with a smile: "sister Yan."

    Zhou Yan asked casually, "what does Mr. Pei talk to you about?"

    Cheng Xia honestly explained, "I just talked about the piano for a couple of words. Mr. Pei said that he also learned piano“

    Zhou Yan "Oh" a, in the heart is very puzzled - just Pei Zong station in the window has been staring at Cheng Xia, after entering the room also take the initiative to chat with Cheng Xia, she thought Pei Zong is different to Cheng Xia. However, after a brief chat with Cheng Xia, Mr. Pei turns to find Chen Yijun. It seems that the conversation with Cheng Xia is just the boss''s casual concern for employees?

    Mr. Pei''s attitude is really unpredictable. Zhou Yan simply gave up guessing and said softly, "the director of the curtain just now is very satisfied, but he wants to keep improving. He will shoot it again in the afternoon, and there are more materials to edit in the post production."

    Cheng Xia understood and said, "it should be." He''s a new guy, and he didn''t want to go over it.

    Everyone around opened the lunch box, and the smell of food wafted in the room. Cheng Xia was really hungry, so he focused on the food. Braised chicken legs, tomato and beef brisket, Dutch beans, fish flavored shredded meat... All his favorite dishes!

    Cheng Xia eats with relish and looks satisfied.

    ***

    Outside, Pei Shaoze held up a big umbrella and walked into the snow.

    Zhang Fan follows Mr. Pei suspiciously. It''s normal that Mr. Pei doesn''t have lunch with the crew. Can''t he stand by and watch others eat? However, on a snowy day, what does it mean for him to walk in the school with an umbrella?

    Aware of Zhang Fan''s doubts, Pei Shaoze suddenly asked, "what do you think of the scenery in the 17th middle school?"

    Zhang Fan hastily replied: "among all the middle schools in Rongcheng, the greening of No.17 middle school ranks the top three, especially the snow scenery in winter. Even many universities can''t match." So you are walking in the snow and enjoying the scenery? Zhang Fan did not dare to ask.

    Pei Shaoze stopped in front of a lake and looked into the distance.

    The environment of No.17 middle school is really good. There is a large artificial lake in the campus. In winter, the lake is covered with thick ice, and the goose like snow falls one after another. The trees beside the lake are completely covered with snow, and the place where they enter the eyes is snow-white. It''s like being in a fairy tale world.

    If the camera is shooting from the air, this picture must be very beautiful. It can be used as a promotional film of snow scenery.

    However, the winter vacation is only one month in February, and the school will start on March 1. Once the school starts, the film crew''s entry will affect the students'' learning, and the school will definitely not agree. When we finish shooting during the holiday, we will be in a hurry... But if we hurry up, we can still have time.

    Pei Shaoze frowned and pondered. A moment later, he took out his mobile phone and shot a video around him, which he sent to Director Liu Xueyi, who had just added a friend: "director Liu, there are many stories in the novel folding paper that happened in winter. This is a snow scene in No.17 middle school. Have a look. What do you think of the effect if we shoot live in No.17 middle school

    Liu Xueyi did not expect that just after signing the contract at noon, the producer went to inspect the shooting site in the afternoon? Is Pei Shaoze a workaholic? He took a look at the video curiously, and immediately said, "it''s beautiful! Compared with the snowy scene with bubbles, the scene is indeed several times better. It''s just that No.17 middle school is a key middle school. Will the headmaster allow us to go to the school and make plays? "

    Pei Shaoze said, "I''ll solve this problem."

    After typing the news, he sent another paragraph: "we have to hurry up and ask Mr. Xu to write a synopsis of the plot and a diversity outline, and send them to the record as soon as possible. We will appoint actors this month and turn them on after the Spring Festival. Is there any problem with director Liu''s time?"

    Liu Xueyi and Xu Muran are waiting for their flight to take off in the waiting hall. They flew over from other places yesterday to have an interview with Mr. Pei and made a reservation for today''s flight home. He showed his mobile phone to his friends, but Xu Muran couldn''t help staring round his eyes: "after the Spring Festival, I''m in such a hurry?" Liu Xueyi said solemnly, "just say whether it can be done in three days. It''s not the final script submitted to the SARFT for filing. It''s not very difficult for you to write a plot outline, is it? "

    Xu Muran clenched his teeth: "if you add a class, of course you can!"

    Liu Xueyi replied: "Mr. Pei, I have no problem with Xiao Xu. However, will it be too rush to start the machine in the Spring Festival

    Pei Shaoze said: "miss this holiday, once the school starts, it is difficult for us to borrow the venue."

    Liu Xueyi agreed: "that''s right. Xiao Xu and I are working overtime these days to get the plot outline out first. The script can be carefully polished while selecting actors!"

    Pei Shaoze said: "I plan to use the UAV to shoot from the air. Taking advantage of the frequent snow in Rongcheng recently, I will finish all the parts about winter in the script. Then, the whole drama group flew to Ya''an City to shoot the part in summer. There are green trees and flowers everywhere in the South now, so shooting the scene in summer will not violate the rules. "

    Liu Xueyi and Xu Muran look at each other.

    That is to say, the location of the play should be all live shot?

    In the past, Liu Xueyi''s low-cost online dramas were all shot by setting up a studio. All kinds of beautiful scenery are actually a canvas. The protagonist plays in front of the green screen. To tell you the truth, even after post-processing, it seems that there is a kind of cheap feeling of shoddy production.

    The real scene is certainly good, but it''s also expensive!

    The whole drama group flies to Ya''an City. Food, housing and transportation are all money. Borrowing public venues also costs extra money. Mass actors are also a big expense. Is this not the standard of ordinary online drama?

    Liu Xueyi can''t help but say: "that fund..."

    Pei Shaoze said: "if Tianxuan gives 10 million yuan, I will bring another investment of at least 5 million yuan. The cost of publicity and service can be saved, and the new couple''s pay is not high. 80% of the money is spent on shooting. Is that enough? "

    Liu Xueyi was so excited that he almost dropped his mobile phone: "enough!"

    15 million to shoot a youth campus network drama, 80% used in shooting, this is not only enough, this is more than enough! It''s unreasonable that other people can shoot 5 million, they can''t shoot 15 million!

    Pei Shaoze said: "it''s hard for you to get off work these days. If you have any questions, please contact me at any time."

    Liu Xueyi is full of fighting spirit: "OK, Mr. Pei, when we go back, we''ll pack our bags and go to Rongcheng to close down and change the script!"

    After the dialogue, Pei Shaoze turned and walked in another direction.

    He wants to examine the environment of No.17 middle school.

    Last time at the Tianxuan meeting, he told the shareholders that the investment of less than 10 million yuan in each group can be decided directly by the group leader. Once it exceeds 10 million yuan, it has to be discussed at the company meeting.

    In fact, this passage has a lot of insight. The group leader''s investment does not exceed 10 million, which does not mean that the investment of a play should be limited to 10 million - because the group leader can also pull in investment from outside with his ability.

    With PEI Shaoze''s contacts, it''s not difficult for his rich second generation friends to get millions of investment. What''s more, advertisers, sponsors and other fields that he has not yet come into contact with, once the door to these fields is opened, he doesn''t need the consent of other executives of the company to make any drama in the future. And once his investment is booming, are you afraid of losing money in the future?

    It is estimated that a lot of sponsors will rush to invest money for him.

    Zhang Fan finally knows the reason why Mr. Pei is walking around school with an umbrella. He is not only visiting the class, but also investigating the shooting scene of the next campus play. He has a careful plan and kills two birds with one stone. No wonder he is so efficient!

    At this point, in the office.

    Cheng Xia has already finished his lunch. There are five dishes in the set meal, but the quantity is small and the quality is excellent. Moreover, the 18-year-old boy is just at the time of physical development. He has finished all the dishes, and the fruit is also clean, leaving only the bag of dried fruit and milk tea unopened.

    Cheng Xia neatly packed the lunch box, got up and wanted to take out the garbage. Assistant sister Rong took the garbage bag and helped him pour the milk tea into the thermos cup. She said with a smile, "you can always come to me when you want to drink in the afternoon and drink hot!"

    Cheng Xia thanks and goes out to breathe.

    Just out of the door, I saw Mr. Pei in the distance.

    Pei Shaoze was dressed in a long gown and a big black umbrella. He was tall and straight, with calm steps. The handsome man walked slowly from the vast snow. From a distance, he looked like a thick color ink painting, full of depression and coldness in winter.

    Cheng Xia looked at the distance in a dazed way, but couldn''t move her sight for a moment.

    A cold wind and snowflakes rush towards him. Cheng Xia suddenly remembers that he was in a mess that night. When Pei Shaoze sent him home, it also snowed heavily. Pei Shaoze worried that he would catch cold and gave him a down jacket.

    The warmth of wearing thick clothes seems to stay at the bottom of my heart.

    Sometimes, he can''t help thinking, what would he do if he changed to another alpha and forcibly marked him that night? Or, the other party looks at him with scornful eyes, regards him as omega, who is superior to the boss, and asks him to get out of Tianxuan. How can he deal with himself?

    But none of this happened. Pei Shaoze dealt with the matter in the most gentle way, leaving no shadow for Cheng Xia. It''s like an elder brother who forgives children''s mistakes and never mentions them again.

    It really gives Cheng Xia face and dignity.

    Mr. Pei seems cold, but he is a very gentle person

    When Cheng Xia thought of it, Pei Shaoze had already come to him.

    Young in a daze, Pei Shaoze mind to skip a line "Cheng Xia to your favor degree + 5".

    The little seedling has grown an inch higher by itself?

    Pei Shaoze asked softly, "what are you thinking about?"

    Cheng Xia looked back. There was no one around him. His cheeks were slightly hot. He whispered in a voice that only could be heard: "I was thinking, how can I return you my down jacket? How about express delivery? "

    Pei Shaoze nodded: "OK, I''ll send your address by wechat. You can send it to me another day."

    Both of them deliberately lowered their voices, as if they were talking about a secret that only they knew.

    Down jacket and sleeping in the same bed that night are really the secrets only they know.

    This feeling of whispering suddenly makes Cheng Xia''s heart beat like a drum. He hurriedly shifts the topic: "where is Mr. Pei going?"

    Pei Shaoze said: "after investigating the environment of No.17 middle school, it''s quite suitable for shooting snow scenery here."

    Shooting snow? The campus drama that Mr. Pei said he wanted to invest in before contains a lot of plots on snowy days in winter. Is Mr. Pei going to inspect the shooting site in addition to visiting the crew today?

    Pei Shaoze saw through Cheng Xia''s idea and nodded: "that''s the campus play. How are you preparing?"

    Cheng Xia immediately got serious, like answering a teacher''s question, and said, "I went back to read the original work once, and I want to turn it over at least three times to study the protagonist''s personality and psychological changes carefully."

    "The original?" Pei Shaoze raised his eyebrows slightly.

    "Well, I went to the bookstore and bought a book myself." Cheng Xia was a little shy with a smile. "Just looking at the outline and people''s design, I don''t think it''s comprehensive enough. After reading the original, I have a deeper understanding of the characters in the book. "

    Pei Shaoze is very pleased to hear Cheng Xia say so. He thought Cheng Xia, like most artists, would only read the information given by his agent, but he didn''t expect that he was clever enough to buy the original work and read the full text.

    Although Pei Shaoze chose the original work according to Cheng Xia''s characteristics, Cheng Xia will definitely be the protagonist.

    However, it is totally different to give the cake to him when it is ready, and to let him get the cake by himself through hard work. Pei Shaoze doesn''t want to directly give Cheng Xia resources. He hopes Cheng Xia can enjoy the process of "working hard, gaining success, and going to the top step by step.".

    This process is the most important.

    Every time he talks about work, Cheng Xia is very serious. He appreciates such a hard-working young man. On the youth''s clear eyes, Pei Shaoze said: "the opportunity is only for those who are ready to go back to study, the audition time should be set soon."

    Cheng Xia nodded: "well, thank you, Mr. Pei!"

    At this time, Chen Yijun just came out and saw that Pei and Cheng Xia were chatting. She couldn''t help joking: "Pei, are you here to visit me? How can we catch our family''s Xiao Cheng Xia chatting all the time! "

    Pei Shaoze didn''t pick up her joke, calmly said: "Yijun, I come here today in addition to visiting, in fact, there is one thing I want to ask you to help."

    Chen Yijun looks surprised: "what can I do for you?"

    "You can borrow the venue of No.17 middle school to shoot MV. Do you have a good relationship with the headmaster?"

    "Well, I graduated from No.17 middle school. Now I am the headmaster. I was my head teacher at that time." Chen Yijun looks at Pei Shaoze doubtfully, "how, is there anything that Mr. Pei wants to do with our headmaster?"

    Pei Shaoze nodded his head: "please go back and tell the headmaster that I have a campus play that I also want to shoot in No.17 middle school. Besides shooting, I also need a large number of mass actors. If you can, I hope the headmaster can cooperate with us and find some students of the right age to act as group performers. In terms of expenses, I will talk to the headmaster in person. "

    Shooting TV series in No.17 middle school? This is also a kind of propaganda for my alma mater. Chen Yijun immediately agreed: "no problem, I''ll make an appointment to introduce you to meet later. I also think the scenery of my alma mater is beautiful!"

    After that, Pei Shaoze went into the studio and said goodbye to Director Zhang: "director Zhang, I have something to do, so I won''t disturb you here."

    Director Zhang said with a smile: "OK, Mr. Pei, on behalf of the staff, thank you for your concern!"

    Pei Shaoze politely talks to the crew. When he comes to the door, he looks back at Cheng Xia. The young man is also looking at him. They look at each other. Cheng Xia looks away embarrassed and says politely, "goodbye, Mr. Pei."

    Pei Shaoze nodded to him and turned to go out.

    Goodbye, Cheng Xia. Next time we meet, we will have an audition. I hope you can give me some surprises.
