Chapter 559 Zhang Zuting's Efforts

In the afternoon, an unnamed restaurant.

Lu Zhiyao, Zhang Zuting, Lin Ruyi, Zhu Xiaoce, Huang Sibo...as well as the screenwriter team, post-production team and other key personnel of Feihuang Studio gathered together to enjoy the food and chat over wine.

"So I still think that Mr. Pei's decision to use full English dubbing from the very beginning is definitely far-sighted! Otherwise, how could it be possible to have both domestic and overseas box office success? Look at the blockbuster movies in recent years, and several of them have grossed over tens of millions of dollars overseas. of!"

"Yes, Mr. Pei has definitely endowed this film with a soul!"

"At least 50% of all the praise this film has received from film critics must belong to Mr. Pei."

"Only fifty percent?"

"Sorry, mine, I was short. I punish myself with a drink."

"Director Zhu, have you brought the trophy?"

"Bring it, bring it, come on, everyone, pass it on carefully, if you bump it, it will take next year to win the next one."

"Director Zhu, what you said is wrong. You are so confident, next year? What if you win the Palme d'Or next year?"

"That's right, maybe this is the last jury award we won at Cannes, and we will all win the Palme d'Or in the future. This is too commemorative, and we must handle it with care!"

"In short, I still have to thank Mr. Pei! It's a pity that Mr. Pei is busy with work and can't come."

"Let's have a toast to Mr. Pei!"

"Yes, toast Mr. Pei!"

Everyone raised their glasses one after another, their faces were a little flushed, it was obvious that people drank a little bit on happy occasions.

It's just that this scene doesn't know why, it's a bit like the whole village eating and drinking.

Lu Zhiyao also drank two glasses very rarely, and asked Zhu Xiaoce: "Director Zhu, are you already preparing a new movie recently?"

Zhu Xiaoce waved his hand: "Don't mention it, Mr. Pei has already given you a 'shock', and all the staff in the entire department are on paid leave! But we just took this opportunity to accumulate inspiration and lay a solid foundation."

"To be honest, I think that if our strength is more solid, we might be able to make a better film for "Beautiful Tomorrow". I feel that our strength has dragged down Mr. Pei's idea, which is a pity. We have to continue to work hard and strive for The next film will never hold Mr. Pei back!"

Lu Zhiyao nodded: "That being said, I think my acting skills are still not proficient in some areas, and I have to continue to work hard. Sure enough, when I work with Mr. Pei, I will think about how to keep improving."

Zhang Zuting ate barbecue and asked Huang Sibo: "What kind of work is Mr. Pei busy with? So busy that you don't even have time for a meal?"

Huang Sibo smiled: "Uncle Zhang, don't you know Mr. Pei?"

"He didn't like celebrating in the first place."

"In fact, Mr. Pei has always been like this. It was the same when he was making games. When the game became popular and made money, everyone celebrated happily. Mr. Pei immediately went to think about the next project. He never indulged too much in this kind of complacency. middle."

"I really can't learn this."

"Of course, other than that, Boss Pei is also really busy. Look at the projects he has on hand now, such as Internet cafes, takeaways, apartments, gyms, and two games..."

Huang Sibo counted and counted, probably because he was not so clear-headed after drinking, and he couldn't count clearly for a long time.

"In short, it's really busy. I think if someone else started so many projects at the same time, they would probably be dizzy, and the communication between various departments would have been completely messed up."

"There's simply no way to balance it."

"But Boss Pei is different. He can also smooth out the relationship between various departments, and let many departments cooperate with each other and advance according to their own layout. This is not something ordinary people can do."

Zhang Zuting nodded: "Indeed."

"But... Mr. Pei doesn't have time to come to eat, so he always has time to meet and have a word?"

"It's true that I haven't seen Mr. Pei for a while."

"Why don't we go visit Mr. Pei, say hello and leave without wasting his time?"

Lu Zhiyao nodded: "Okay! But I don't think there should be too many people, so don't affect President Pei's work."

Zhu Xiaoce said: "The point is... do you know where Mr. Pei is? It seems a little inappropriate to call and ask?"

Huang Sibo thought for a while: "It's really inappropriate to make a call. Mr. Pei will definitely take it seriously when he answers the phone. If he deliberately spares time to see us, wouldn't that disrupt his original work plan? In this way, we will come to Pei I always try my luck at the places I often go to, if I meet you, I say hello, if I don’t meet you, then forget it.”

"Okay!" Lu Zhiyao and others readily agreed.

...

After four o'clock in the afternoon, Tenda game department.

Huang Sibo was a little discouraged: "If Boss Pei is not here, there will be nothing to do."

After the dinner, they had already gone to Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University store, managed gym, and Mr. Pei's office on the 16th floor of Shenhua Haojing, but Mr. Pei was not there.

In the end, he could only go to Tenda Games to try his luck, and if he didn't see Mr. Pei again, he had no choice but to give up.

After all, Tenda has so many departments, it is not realistic to find them one by one.

Everyone stepped into the office area of ​​Tenda Games, hoping to see Mr. Pei's familiar figure here.

At this time, Hu Xianbin was anxiously scratching his head at his work station.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw several people walking in at the door.

When I looked up, I was instantly shocked!

Zhang Zuting? Lu Zhiyao? Huang Sibo? Zhu Xiaoce?

Aren't these the two leading actors and directors of "A Better Tomorrow"?

Hu Xianbin was overjoyed, rushed over and grabbed Huang Sibo's hand.

"Brother Huang! Do you have telepathy? How do you know that I just wanted to contact you?"

Huang Sibo was taken aback for a moment: "Contact me? What are you contacting me for?"

Hu Xianbin said: "I want you to find Director Zhu and help the actors guide their acting skills!"

The four newcomers were all dizzy: "Acting skills? What acting skills? Tengda is making a movie again recently?"

Hu Xianbin hurriedly explained: "It's the acting skills of motion capture actors! Mr. Pei's new game, "Struggle"!"

While explaining, he pulled out the script of "Struggle" from the side and handed it to Zhang Zuting and Lu Zhiyao.

Zhang Zuting took the script, and the more he read it, the more exaggerated his expression became.

After roughly reading the outline of the first two pages of the story, Zhang Zuting slapped his thigh: "Mr. Pei has such a good book, why didn't he make it into a movie? It's hard to say how the box office will perform with such a profound subject, but it will definitely win an award!" "

Huang Sibo has a different opinion: "Uncle Zhang, this game is divided into two versions, the poor version and the rich version. There should be some special meaning here, and it is difficult to change it into a movie."

"There's nothing difficult to deal with. It's fine to find a way to integrate it together! The theme of exposing the gap between the rich and the poor has a high upper limit!" Zhang Zuting still thinks that it is better to make a movie.

Zhu Xiaoce smoothed things over: "It's okay, Uncle Zhang. If the game is really popular, you can still consider adapting it into a movie. I believe President Pei must have made arrangements."

He turned to look at Hu Xianbin: "So, you just said that you want to direct acting skills? What's going on?"

Hu Xianbin said: "I'm having a headache because of this."

"In our game this time, all the scenes are captured with live action, trying to restore every detail of the actor's expression."

"Moreover, according to Mr. Pei's request, the art style of our game is exaggerated, trying to highlight the facial features of these characters as much as possible."

"But in this way, the performance requirements for actors have also increased, because facial makeup characters require more exaggerated acting skills, and these motion capture actors are basically extras, with little experience in this area..."

Zhang Zuting immediately understood: "It's easy to say. I'll go and give some guidance. I have played many poor people and many rich people. I can also perform exaggerated acting skills. I will leave this to me!"

Hu Xianbin was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Thank you so much! But... Will this affect your original itinerary..."

Zhang Zuting waved his hand: "It's not a problem, Boss Pei has helped me so much, I'll just give him a favor, just pointing out some acting problems, it's just a little effort."

Hu Xianbin was overjoyed: "Then I am very grateful to Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Zuting couldn't help smiling.

Although I didn't meet Mr. Pei, it's not bad to help out by accident!

...

...

Wednesday, June 22.

Jingzhou Old Industrial Zone.

Pei Qian felt a very melancholy feeling in his heart when he looked at the Jingpal Hostel which was being built rapidly and the surrounding supporting facilities.

Project progress is too fast!

Pei Qian wished to cover it more slowly, but no one could hear his voice.

In the past two days, Pei Qian has come twice, mainly to find out the current situation of the Terror Hostel, so as not to be caught off guard.

It's just that after watching it, I realized that the situation is indeed not very optimistic!

The original Palpitation Hostel was just a lonely haunted house in the old industrial area, and there were basically no other supporting facilities around it, so it was very inconspicuous.

But now, Mr. Li and other investors are building restaurants and hotels here, and even renovated the ground of the square outside, plus the fountain in the center, it looks too similar!

Although they were all remodeled from the original factory buildings in the old industrial area, after everyone cleaned up the surrounding environment, the accumulated construction waste and lush weeds disappeared, and they became serious in an instant.

Although the Golden Maze is still under intense renovation, it is almost the same every day. Seeing that all kinds of intricate structures have come out, Pei Qian panicked even more.

Fortunately, there are still several problems that have not been resolved, such as how to publicize this place so that tourists from all over the country know about it, how to deal with the traffic from the urban area to the old industrial area, and so on.

Pei Qian walked around the Jingpal Hostel twice more, planning to run away.

However, just as he was about to leave, he heard a surprise voice.

"Mr. Pei? I knew that you said that you would lose money here, but in fact you attach great importance to this place. You can still find time to come and see it in your busy schedule!"

The corner of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly, and he knew it was Mr. Li without turning around.

For the past two days, I have been sneaking here, just like being a thief, because I am afraid that some unnecessary drama will happen when I meet Mr. Li.

In the end, I was afraid of what would happen, but I still ran into it!

Pei Qian sighed silently, turned around and smiled and said, "Mr. Li, good afternoon."

Mr. Li had a smile on his face: "Isn't Mr. Pei knowing that I plan to call the investors here today to discuss the promotion of the Shocking Hostel, so he came here on purpose? Mr. Pei must have a good opinion on the promotion!"

Pei Qian: "?"

No matter, you are completely mistaken!

Obviously, Mr. Li and the investors also know that the current state of the Jingpal Hotel cannot make a profit, not to mention recovering the cost, and it is even difficult to maintain the daily expenses.

Because the flow of people is not enough.

Such a large amusement park is definitely not enough to rely on the locals of Jingzhou alone, it needs tourists from all over the country and even from all over the world.

But how to publicize the Scary Hostel is a problem.

The "Beautiful Jingzhou" feature on the Quanmin Dianping website will definitely have some effect, but it is obviously not enough.

Pei Qian chuckled: "I'm sorry Mr. Li, I have to leave beforehand, you guys talk slowly."

After finishing speaking, Pei Qian got into the car and drove away.

Li Shi stood there in a daze, a little confused by Mr. Pei who was elusive.

But there was nothing he could do, he could only sigh helplessly, and silently went back to discuss the publicity with the investors.
