Originally, Cao Zhiqiang didn't care. After all, the male protagonist's sisters are all supporting characters. It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less.

But when he heard Yu Feihong's name, he suddenly had an impression, so after a phone call with Yu Feihong, he agreed.

In this way, it was initially decided that Yu Feihong and Qiao Simei would play the role of the male protagonist's sister.

Although Cao Lili is not suitable for acting, she has a stable nature. She can play with the crew and watch her sister.

Moreover, this filming will take a long time, at least until the end of the month, and almost throughout the entire summer vacation.

Therefore, Cao Lili can also take the opportunity to return to her hometown and reunite with her two brothers.

In fact, due to sufficient funds and complete equipment, there are only six cameras, which can be said to be unprecedentedly lavish.

Therefore, the film crew that Xu Qingdong brought together this time was quite large.

Including the director team, photography team, production team, styling team, actor team, recording team, lighting team, set team... It can be said that the teams needed for making a movie are all available.

Eighty percent of these people were teachers and students who were on vacation from Nortel and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make extra money. The remaining 20% ​​were idle staff from other film studios.

Therefore, the total number of people involved in this shooting was quite large, a total of 88 people.

If this number is placed in future generations, it will definitely not be too much. After all, if you want to make a movie in the 21st century, why can't the film crew only have one or two hundred people?

But in China in the 1980s, a photography crew of 88 people was quite luxurious.

After all, these are all core personnel, excluding extras and the like, and many of them are multi-talented.

For example, some people who do scenery production, many of them are also responsible for lighting, sound recording and even scene management.

There are also some supporting actors who, when they are not filming, have to do some chores such as set chores, such as lighting, logistics, etc.

In fact, since the film itself doesn't have much plot, it didn't have so many plots.

According to Xu Qingdong's original estimate, more than 40 people could take the photo.

But because the shooting time required by Cao Zhiqiang was too urgent and a lot of scenery needed to be shot, we called in some more people.

Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang paid for the travel expenses and he didn't care. Then Xu Qingdong wished he had more people under his command.

As for those people hired by Xu Qingdong, most of them are teachers and classmates of Nortel. It is summer vacation and they are willing to make extra money.

Even if you don't make money, who wouldn't be happy if someone invited you to travel for free and all travel expenses were reimbursed.

Of course, although Cao Zhiqiang was fully reimbursed for travel expenses, everyone cannot be treated the same way.

For example, Cao Zhiqiang, his two sisters, Xu Qingdong, and Zhu Lin can naturally fly to Jinling and stay in a super luxury hotel like the Jinling Hotel.

The travel expenses of these people were paid by Cao Zhiqiang out of his own pocket and were not included in the public expenses of the photography team.

But everyone else, including other actors and film crew members, etc., all went there by train, and stayed in the guest house arranged by Jinling Yuhong Machinery Factory. Their meals were also based on the standard cadre meal of four dishes and one soup in the canteen.

What? Unfair?

It's not fair, don't come!

No one asked you to come!

Now that we have a market economy, everyone is willing to do what they want.

The photography team this time was actually recruited on a temporary basis and was not a fixed team.

In other words, for most people, coming here to film this time is just to do odd jobs, earn extra money, and exchange labor for quick money. How important they really think they are!

If you have the means, you can pay for flights and hotels, and that's no problem.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang could only think these words in his own mind, and certainly could not speak them out loud.

Externally, Cao Zhiqiang has many things to do, time is precious, and the flight is for official business. He has to represent the machinery factory and the publishing house to negotiate other business in Jinling, not just for filming.

As for Zhu Lin and Xu Qingdong flying and staying in a hotel, that was purely a matter of taking advantage of the situation, and it was a favor between good friends, so I couldn't envy them.
