In the Duan family's mansion, everyone gathered for a meal, and the dining table was full of joy. Duan Dong looked at Song Wenye next to him, and couldn't help complaining, "I didn't come back for the New Year's Eve dinner. I want to tell you how good it is to ask for leave in advance."
Duan Dong is old now, and he is more and more unable to handle group affairs. He is more concerned about family reunion, and naturally pays attention to the feeling of Chinese New Year.
Song Wenye: "It's too late to talk about things that day, and the flight is not suitable."
Duan Dong: "Won't Cheng Yan come back early?"
When Duan Chengyan's mother heard this, she was afraid that there would be a dispute between the two sides, so she hurriedly said, "Wen Yebuy still finds time to go to the crew to visit the class? It's not as unreliable as Chengyan, who flew back early, Dad, don't talk about it..."
When Duan Dongsi thought of this, he felt a little relieved and stopped talking. It's not that he doesn't care about Song Wenye, it's just that his eldest son has disappeared without a trace, making Song Wenye's character dull and not as active as Duan Chengyan. Duan Dong and Song Wenye had more contact at work, and they had to behave in a businesslike manner in the group, but they also seemed to be divided at home.
Duan Dong heard that Song Wenye had been to the production crew, and he was satisfied now: "This is also good, Cheng Yan has no experience, Wen Ye can help him keep an eye on it, I heard that the movie is about to be released?"
Song Wenye was still eating quietly, but his eyes flickered slightly at this time, and he pushed the boat along the flow: "Cheng Yan is now the project leader, why don't he let him report to you?"
It was rare for Duan Dong to see Song Wenye giving Duan Chengyan face like this. He liked the atmosphere of family harmony the most. He hurriedly smiled and encouraged: "Yes, yes, Chengyan, tell me!"
Duan Chengyan was suddenly asked a question, he immediately showed a ghostly look, glanced at Song Wenye in surprise, and then bit his head and said: "Grandpa, you just wait for the movie to explode, I won't say anything else!"
Mother Duan muttered dissatisfiedly: "What do you call a work report? You are like this in the crew, how can other people stand it?"
Duan Chengyan said loudly: "Why can't I stand it? The directors say that I have improved, and I am now a producer!"
Of course, Chu Xiaxing complimented him on his improvement in his ability to look at people, but Duan Chengyan felt that this was also one of his working abilities.
Song Wenye was waiting for this sentence, he wanted Duan Chengyan to lift Chu Xiaxing out, and promptly said, "Director Chu who filmed 'Thunder Gun Saint' is quite good now, I think the matter of Yanchuan Film and Television City can be followed. Touch her."
Duan Dong was stunned: "Is this director young? Didn't you meet Director Xu last time?"
Duan Chengyan complained, "Grandpa, what time is it now, Director Chu is no worse than Director Xu. Haven't you read the online analysis of her remake of "Man Ran"? Besides, she is better at communicating than Director Xu, and the crew work is quite solid."
Duan Chengyan: Crazy squeezing everyone's value, everything can take into account the budget, really a liar!
Duan Dong hesitated: "I really haven't seen it..."
Duan Chengyan: "Then you must take a look, or you will be out of touch with the times!"
Mother Duan frowned: "Don't be ridiculous..."
Duan Chengyan said confidently, "It's my job to find a director, how can it be called a nonsense?"
Duan Dong smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take a look at it later. Since you all have such a high opinion of this director, then find time to talk to him about it."
Hearing the satisfactory answer, Song Wenye nodded and said, "Okay, I'll start to do this."
The family continued to dine warmly, and Duan Chengyan also forced Duan Dong to watch the trailer of "Gun Saint", earnestly performing the producer's publicity duties.
After dinner, Duan Dong and Duan's mother went to the living room to rest, leaving young people chatting in the house. Duan Chengyan avoided the crowd. He squinted at Song Wenye and said angrily, "Shouldn't you thank me?"
Duan Chengyan probably understood why Song Wenye suddenly named himself on the table, and he was trying to find a way to build steps for Chu Xiaxing. It was like Chu Xiaxing brought Duan Chengyan to Wang Toyota, Song Wenye wanted Chu Xiaxing to appear in front of Duan Dong, but he couldn't be too straightforward, it was easy to appear unnatural.
Facing the eldest young master who wanted to thank him, Song Wenye said lightly, "You're welcome, this is what you should do."
Duan Chengyan: "?"
Song Wenye swept away the warmness on the table just now, and he asked blankly, "You asked Director Chu to tutor one-on-one as a producer, shouldn't you pay some tuition fees?"
Duan Chengyan saw Song Wenye turn around and leave, the other party and his brother and brother Gong looked like two different people, he suddenly became even more annoyed, and felt more and more difficult for Song Wenye to deal with.
Duan Chengyan: I used to be just arrogant and dead-faced, but after learning to act, I will be even more embarrassed.
Chu Xiaxing took root in the Luokang Film and Television Base for a long time, and finally completed the production of "Thunder Gun Saint". She said goodbye to Anderson and returned to China with the crew. She soon felt the excitement brought by the trailer, and the distribution team who wanted to cooperate was about to break the threshold of Vanke Films.
Xia Hong said tentatively, "Director Chu, do you think we should do some screenings this time
A movie screening is to broadcast a finished film in a specific cinema before its official release. First, it wants to ferment the reputation of the film, and second, it is good for the subsequent filming of the movie. Of course, if you are not very confident in the quality of the movie, most people will not choose to show it.
The popularity of "Thunder Gun Saint" is already very high. Now the choice of the movie is definitely for word of mouth, but if the audience does not buy it after the screening, it may also break the current good momentum.
Chu Xiaxing: "Yes, you can contact them to do it."
Xia Hong got Director Chu's approval, and he excitedly said, "Does Director Chu have anyone to invite? I'll reserve a seat at the screening."
Movie screenings are also a good opportunity to maintain relationships, and Chu Xiaxing can invite partners who have worked together. She thought for a moment, then hesitated: "I shouldn't have many tickets, maybe two or three..."
Familiar faces such as Zhou Xuelu and Cao Yangang must have votes from Fanke Films. Xia Hong estimates that they will also send tickets to Wang Toyota and others. Chu Xiaxing really doesn’t have many candidates left. It is estimated that Han Chuning and Chu Qiuyi will come. , Chen Yanping is doing TV series again.
Chu Xiaxing understood that Xia Hong was looking for some important guests to appear, but she was busy filming recently and didn't know any new characters. She thought for a while, and then said, "I'll ask Director Fan and Director Huo, but they may not be available."
Xia Hong nodded and asked again, "How many votes does the eldest young master want?"
Duan Chengyan: "You can build a movie theater for me, my mother's people will all come to see..."
Xia Hong: "Okay, just don't stay, right? After the official release, you will book the venue yourself. Thank you for supporting the movie box office."
Duan Chengyan: "?"
There are not many screenings of "Thunder Gun Saint", and the ticket source is sold in seconds as soon as it is released, showing the audience's high enthusiasm for watching the movie.
In the backstage of the movie screening meeting, Qiao Zhans paced nervously. After his crew was finished, he left the role of the gun saint and returned to a state of worry. But this time, he was not worried about Xue Zang's suppression, but he was afraid that he would not be able to meet Director Chu's expectations. Whoever made the supporting cast members belong to the big star camp, only he was an unknown newcomer.
Chu Xiaxing had not seen Qiao Zhansi so nervous for a long time, and joked, "Aren't you quite confident during the shooting?"
Qiao Zhansi has the longest shooting time in the crew, and he can be said to be at ease in the later stage, just like the gun saint. Chu Xiaxing occasionally lamented Qiao Zhansi's talent, and his ability to imitate is really excellent.
Qiao Zhansi smiled bitterly: "That's Howard's state. Now that he has left the movie, I have become me again."
Hou Shenyue comforted: "It's okay, I played that game before, and you played really well."
At this time, Xie Zhaoyan came in from the outside, Qiao Zhansi and Hou Shenyue immediately stood up respectfully, showing their respect for the seniors, obviously they were a little cautious in front of the actress.
Facing Xie Zhaoyan, Chu Xiaxing was not so tense, but asked freely, "Why are you here now?"
Both Hou Shenyue and Qiao Zhansi carefully looked at Xie Zhaoyan's face, lest the other party think that Director Chu was questioning him, but fortunately, the actress has been arrogant in front of the director, and she didn't seem to mind Chu Xiaxing's tone.
Xie Zhaoyan sighed helplessly: "It took a lot of effort to bring people in just now."
In the cinema, Chu Xiaxing and other main creative team first came to the stage to introduce and greet each other, and then the lights in the cinema gradually dimmed, and the familiar dragon logo appeared on the huge screen.
The audience wore 3D glasses and waited quietly for the screening of "Thunder Gun Saint". In the darkness, a vast sky dotted with stars emerged, followed by a little boy with a blue phantom running on the Milky Way, leaving only a quick shot for the camera. background.
In the rotation of the galaxy, the boy's back gradually transformed into a teenager, and then transformed into an adult man. The weapons in his hands were also evolving, fighting and fighting against the shadows in the endless sky.
It's a long, unedited take that succinctly depicts the world of the original game, and introduces Howard's history in splendid martial arts action. Although the shot is only one minute, the special effects are dizzying, and the fighting scenes are even more exciting!
Howard kept running in the fight, he finally saw the dazzling white light at the end of the Milky Way, and he mustered up the courage to jump. After the dazzling white light passed, the mysterious endless sky disappeared completely, replaced by a busy and ordinary life. Howard is an incomprehensible weirdo in daily life. His days are quite boring, and he spends every day without any disturbances.
The film tells the story of Howard's choice after his daily life was broken by a crisis. As a gun saint, he is different from his peers. Fukayoshi) used his ability to gain power and embarked on the road of leading ordinary people. He finally solved the problem in his own way and returned to a peaceful life without choosing to reveal his identity.
Because the original game has many characters and many story clues, how to extract the story is very important. Chu Xiaxing felt that the core label of the Gun Saint was "a hero who does not regard himself as a hero", so he would have a different choice from most of his peers, so he arranged the contrasting Ice King, The light spirit came on the stage to form a control group with the gun saint.
Of course, all the story lines were covered with extreme special effects, and Chu Xiaxing also used a lot of bold camera movements to make the audience feel that the movie was worth the money. Many people come for the dazzling special effects, which is also an important factor in ensuring the box office, and the audience must not be disappointed.
During the movie screening, the audience burst into exclamations from time to time at the screening site. They were completely immersed in the illusion created by technology, intoxicated by the adventures of Howard, and completely plunged into the futuristic sci-fi world!
In the auditorium, only one person was not attracted by the special effects screen. Instead, he listened to every line carefully, as if trying to figure out and interpret the story between the characters.
When Qiao Zhansi and other main creators heard the cheers in the background, they were also very relieved and felt that their hard work was not in vain. Behind these stunts are the hard work of countless staff, otherwise it would be impossible to present such a realistic picture.
Chu Xiaxing smiled and said, "This time, you should be relieved."
After the screening, warm applause broke out at the scene, and everyone in the audience applauded desperately with excitement. They couldn't calm down for a long time in the ending song.
The screening of "The Thunder Gun Saint" was a great success, and the audience left the venue excitedly chattering away, and there were not many people left in the venue. The actors were still packing up backstage. Chu Xiaxing wanted to come out to find Han Chuning and Chu Qiuyi first, but met another old acquaintance on the set.
"You should be the director? It's an interesting movie, although it's packaged like a foreign popcorn, but it tells a completely different story."
A familiar and slow male voice sounded beside him, successfully causing Chu Xiaxing to stop. She turned around in surprise, and she saw the old face wearing a hat. She didn't expect this big coffee to be hidden in the screening!
Xu Xiancheng smiled kindly and said slowly: "... I really haven't seen a movie of this level for a long time. If the special effects were less, it would be better to tell more stories."
Xu Xiancheng felt a little regretful. He prefers to tell stories in a long-term manner, and has little interest in special effects and action scenes.
This familiar tone suddenly reminded Chu Xiaxing of his famous words in the past. Xu Xiancheng once said, "If Director Chu doesn't think about making money, the scenes he shoots will have more depth", which made her feel subtly. Her and Xu Xiancheng's personalities have always been very different. She is a proper realist, and he is much more romantic.
Chu Xiaxing listened to his sloth-like soft tone. If she was a big girl now, she would definitely say bluntly, "Old Xu, you shut up and dare to point me," but unfortunately she is a trumpet now, so she can only say dryly: "… Thank you Teacher Xu for your pointers."
Chu Xiaxing: It's really terrible. Because of opening a trumpet account, the seniority has become smaller, and it is also shorter than the competitors.
Xie Zhaoyan didn't tell Xu Xiancheng the truth, so he didn't know that the little girl in front of him was Chu Xiaxing. He said with a good temper: "Let's leave a contact information, and we can communicate more in the future."
Chu Xiaxing was a little hesitant at first, but after something flashed in her mind, she suddenly thought of a way to fight back, so she added Xu Xiancheng's WeChat.
After Xu Xiancheng left, Chu Xiaxing sent a voice message to her friend without saying a word, and she decisively smeared a small report: "Zhaoyan, I told you that Director Xu is very serious now, and he actually asked the little girl to ask for WeChat in private. I can't stand it for you, where is your family status..."
Xu Xiancheng had the advantage of being a big senior, and Chu Xiaxing also had an age advantage of a small one. She was afraid that she would not be able to refute Director Xu in person.
Xie Zhaoyan listened to the voice: "?"
