The crew of "The Gift of Room 7", which won the Venice Golden Bear, attended various banquets in the days after returning to China.
Zhu Mei couldn't hold it any longer. She didn't like the excitement, so she simply escaped and ran to Lin'an after attending the most important Shanhai.com celebration.
She came here with her two right-hand assistants, Shi Liyou and Ding Lun.
After experiencing success for so long, the two of them have already developed antibodies to those feasting and entertainment, and they no longer like the days of being praised as they did before.
On the contrary, coming to the tavern, eating Shui Qingshan's not-so-delicious dishes, bragging and spanking with Shui Qingshan, Shen Huan and the others made them feel even more happy.
"Xiao Huan, you really should go to Italy." Shi Liyou said happily while drinking a small drink: "The European movie fans over there are so enthusiastic. Countless people are asking if Teacher Chu Liuxiang is here. I heard that you are not here. , they are all very disappointed!”
"Who says it's not?" Ding Lun said with joy, "Those beautiful ones... Ahem, cough, come on, Xiao Huan, I'll toast you!"
The reason for Ding Lun's change of subject was naturally Shui Qianyu's angry gaze.
Shen Huan took a sip of the drink and smiled without answering.
Unless it is a very unavoidable occasion, Shen Huan generally does not drink. This body is only 17 years old. Drinking too early is not good for the body.
"After finishing "The Gift of Room No. 7", Amei, why don't you continue your vacation?" Shui Qingshan also changed the topic.
"Yes, I'm going to take a break." Zhu Mei said, "But that will be half a year later."
She was right.
Next, "The Gift of Room No. 7" will be exhibited at the Busan International Film Festival in Tai Chi Country, and then the Edo International Film Festival, and then it will return to China for distribution and screening of the film.
In February next year, I will go to the United States to participate in the selection of the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars.
According to "The Gift of Room No. 7", there should be no problem with it being nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Shanhai.com has plenty of public relations funds to put this already good movie in the nomination position.
Calculating this, it will basically take until after the Spring Festival for the crew of "The Gift of Room No. 7" to get an official break.
Well, the crew mentioned here is basically Zhu Mei and the others, plus the male and female protagonists.
As for the rest of the supporting characters, basically the United States will not go.
"I used to think that if I became famous, I would be on TV every day, walk on the street every day, and be popular among people in the circle." Ding Lun said, "But now that I think about it, it's really a big gain. How much dedication it must take. For me, not shooting movies, not handling the camera, and running to these film festivals or banquets all day long is really a torture."
Zhu Mei's core group consists of about ten people, the same group of people Shen Huan brought with her when she first met Zhu Mei.
Small but complete.
Once there is a script to be filmed, with a dozen or so people, it can be quickly expanded into a formal crew and filming begins.
Zhu Mei's previous films, as well as the current "Love Letter" and "The Gift of Room No. 7", have all done this.
Speaking of which, Shanhai.com was very generous to the crew of "The Gift of Room No. 7". In addition to sending a few people to help them solve troubles, they didn't even send a financial director, leaving Zhu Mei to take control.
At that time, many people on Shanhai.com were still muttering, saying that if such indulgence would affect the quality of the movie
In the end, Zheng Rongrong still insisted on her own approach.
In the end, Zhu Mei used four heavy Golden Bear trophies to prove Zheng Rongrong's unique vision.
However, everyone felt a little tired from the following stage of discussing merit and giving rewards, as well as attending various parties and variety shows.
Fortunately, Zhu Mei also has the capital to be reserved. Except for a few occasions where she has to go, such as China TV Station and Shanhai.com, she will not be present in person.
But Shi Liyou and Ding Lun, who were named deputy chief producers, had to attend other occasions for Zhu Mei. They drank so much in the past few days that they vomited.
That's why Ding Lun had such emotion.
Shui Qingshan smiled and said, "You are called not knowing the blessings in the midst of blessings. How could you imagine such a good life in the past?"
"It's really unexpected." Shi Liyou's eyes flashed, "I made a movie, but before it was released, my boss gave me 5 million in remuneration and incentives. This was enough for me to buy a house and renovate it! ... And Compared to the previous "Love Letter", this one is still inferior! Xiao Huan is really our lucky star! If we were simply talking about working to support our family, we would have stopped working long ago."
Because no one invested in the "Love Letter" movie, almost all the creative and crew members involved in the filming, including the behind-the-scenes and several leading actors, did not receive any money. They only received dividends after making money.
At that time, no one thought about getting any dividends. They only thought about successfully completing the filming and then releasing it. They never thought about other profits or anything like that.
Unexpectedly, such a pure idea brought enough profits for everyone. Shi Liyou and the others received tens of millions of dividends, not to mention Shui Qingshan and Zhu Mei, two people who received millions of real money. .
While several people were talking, Shen Huan asked about the person he cared about.
"Aunt Mei, what is this girl Yang Shu planning to do recently?"
Zhu Mei smiled when she heard this, "Isn't she ready to go to school? But because of this, her mother did not dare to send her to an ordinary school, so she could only go to a private elementary school in Huajing. Many students there She is the child of a celebrity, so she will not become a giant panda."
Yang Shu is 7 years old this year and is in the first grade. She has been delayed due to filming, so she has no way to choose a good public school.
But when I came back from Venice, everything was different.
The 7-year-old Venice Best Actress asked you if you had seen her before
With such a huge honor, if you want her to go to study in the world of ordinary people, she will be watched all day long, she will not be able to learn well, and her life will be disturbed.
It happened that Shanhai.com also gave Yang Shu a bonus of 10 million yuan, so Yang's mother proudly found a private elementary school with good conditions and let her study in it recently.
In fact, Yang Shu earns more than this. Recently, Shanhai.com has been actively trying to sign a long-term artist contract with her. With her status as the Venice Best Actress and her unlimited plasticity, she has lost tens of millions in signing bonus. Don't even talk about it.
"But it's really amazing when you say it." Zhu Mei showed a look of recollection, "We were all worried that this girl wouldn't be able to get out, but not only did she get out, she also returned to her previous indifferent character. , it gave me the feeling that there was an adult soul hidden in her body, which was very wonderful.”
I feel it too.
But the soul of this kind of adult is different from that of an ordinary person.
Yang Shu is the kind of genius who is really born with acting talent, instead of relying on the memory of his previous life to pretend here.
A child like this, once he grows up, will stop acting crookedly and become a proper movie queen.
Well…
It seems that people have already found the best actress.
And she is the winner of the Golden Bear Award at one of the three major European film festivals, second only to the Oscar winner.
All in all, Shen Huan is very optimistic about her future.
If Shen Huan hadn't been prepared to do business, he would have signed the little girl under his command as early as the filming of "The Gift from Room No. 7".
It was precisely because Shen Huan was very optimistic about her that he wanted to use her.
"I'm writing a new book recently. If I want to make a movie, I'm going to let her play the role of the protagonist's daughter." Shen Huan said directly to Zhu Mei.
"Haha." Zhu Mei smiled, "I thought you weren't even ready to say it now. How about it? When can you finish it?"
"It will probably take a while." Shen Huan said with a bit of laughter and tears: "The Qiantang Evening News is crying and begging me to expand the word count of the new book to 300,000 words. I have a huge headache because of this!"
Shi Liyou was laughing next to him, "They need to serialize it! Think about how popular "The Gift from Room No. 7" is, and you will know how eager they are for Teacher Chu's new book! If it weren't unrealistic, they would wish that you would stay with them all their lives. I’m writing a serial!”
Everyone understands the truth, so everyone smiles heartily.
However, everyone also understands that "Qiantang Evening News" and even the Zheyue Newspaper Group behind it are Shen Huan's strongest supporters. Such a relationship is not easy to destroy.
At this time, Shui Qianyu also showed a smile on his lips.
Zhejiang Yue Newspaper Group had already published "Love Letter" during the summer vacation.
In two months, sales have exceeded 1 million copies.
Shen Huan followed the previous agreement between the two and changed the ending.
The man Fang Shu encountered an avalanche while climbing, but he did not die. Instead, he was rescued by a mountain man, but he lost his memory and was delayed for two years.
By the time he regained his memory and came back, his fiancée had already married his best friend.
But he heard his fiancée talking about the exchange of letters with the girl Fang Shu, and talking about those bits and pieces, he finally understood where his true love was, so he returned to his hometown, found the girl Fang Shu, and was with her.
This is a happy ending that has been praised by many book friends and movie fans.
But there were also many people who were critical, saying things like "tragedy is the eternity of life" and "changing the ending changes the story", but Teacher Chu Liuxiang didn't respond at all.
Only Shui Qianyu knew that this was the ending specially written for her by Shen Huan.
An ending written for her alone.
How could she be in a bad mood
Even in the "God of Song" competition, Xiao Shuishui showed great power and played the guitar superbly. I don't know how many fans he attracted.
While Shui Qianyu was happy, several people continued to eat and chat.
Zhu Mei didn't even ask about the name of Shen Huan's new book, because she knew that if it suited her to take pictures, Shen Huan would definitely give it to her.
She has this confidence because of her humble acquaintance.
