Chapter 893: Work After Finishing (Updated)
Tuesday morning.
Pei Qian was soundly asleep when he was suddenly woken up by the ringing of the phone.
He opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the caller ID, it was Huang Sibo calling.
Pei Qian answered the phone: "Hello?"
Huang Sibo's slightly excited voice came from the phone: "Mr. Pei, I have some good news for you! The movie "Mission and Choice" has been finished, and the last scene was just shot this morning!"
Pei Qian hasn't woken up yet, and his mind is still a little confused: "Oh?"
But in the next second, he immediately reacted.
The movie is done!
Reluctantly, but the day has come.
After the game + movie joint project "Mission and Choice" was decided, Pei Qian didn't pay much attention to it.
The reason is complicated. On the one hand, it is because Pei Qian is afraid that because of his attention, it will have an observer effect, or that a subconscious suggestion of his own will inexplicably play a finishing touch, which is self-defeating; on the other hand, it is because this project is With two billing cycles spanning, Pei Qian has more important projects to deal with.
Of course, another reason is that Pei Qian felt that he had done enough preparations before setting up the project. "Mission and Choice" condensed almost all failure factors, and even He An felt that it was bound to fail, so Pei Qian Qian is full of confidence in this project.
It wasn't until he happened to meet He An some time ago that Pei Qian thought of going to Tenda Games to see the development of the game "Mission and Choice".
As for the movie, Pei Qian has never been to a studio at all, and he doesn't even know the outline of the movie's story.
The only thing he knew was that the story background of "Mission and Choice" was finalized by himself, and it should be about the war between humans and Zerg.
Because the original "Mission and Choice" called "The Shame of National Tour" more than ten years ago used this background, Pei Qian asked Director Zhu Xiaoce to continue to use it, and Director Zhu Xiaoce must have complied.
It's just that I don't know what the specific situation will be after the film is made.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian stiffened and sat up from the bed.
"It's a good thing that it's finished, we must celebrate it!"
"So, go to Mr. Li's Ming Mansion family banquet for lunch today, and I'll treat you! Everyone in the production team will go!"
"Then you organize everyone to spend a few days in Jingzhou. Next Monday will be the 20th. Let's have another meal at an unnamed restaurant!"
The treatment and specifications were the same when "A Better Tomorrow" was finalized: two high-standard dinners + a week of local play in Jingzhou. For Pei Qian, the remuneration for spending money can only be increased but not decreased, and the money that should be spent cannot be less.
Huang Sibo was very happy: "Good President Pei!"
...
At noon, there is a family banquet in the Ming Mansion.
Today is Tuesday, and there were few customers, so Pei Qian called early to make a reservation, so the entire restaurant was full of crew members.
In addition to Huang Sibo, Zhu Xiaoce, Lu Zhiyao and photographers and other on-site staff, editors and post-production crews also came and gathered together.
It stands to reason that editing and post-production should be the busiest right now, but "Mission and Choice" is filmed segment by segment. After each segment is shot, it can be roughly cut and post-production, so the pressure of editing and post-production is not particularly high.
Moreover, no matter how busy the work is, Mr. Pei must still come to treat guests!
Everyone knew that Mr. Pei didn't have so many rules when inviting guests to dinner, so they all sat down casually and waited for Mr. Pei's arrival.
Huang Sibo, Zhu Xiaoce, Lu Zhiyao and others sat at the same table, waiting eagerly for President Pei's arrival.
"I'm coming!"
"Boss Pei, this way!"
Huang Sibo stood up and waved at Pei Qian.
Pei Qian immediately said to the waiter: "What are you waiting for? Serve all the good wine and food? Just order the most expensive one, hurry up."
Then, he sat down at Zhu Xiaoce's table.
Until now, Pei Qian was able to meet these people in the crew.
After looking around, his gaze stayed on Lu Zhiyao.
Well, sure enough there is Lu Zhiyao again.
Pei Qian was already mentally prepared for this. After all, Lu Zhiyao had a close relationship with Feihuang Studio, and everyone had a great time working together, and it was only natural to cooperate again.
When talking about actors before, Pei Qian's request was that only one leading actor should be invited, and the others could only be side effects, and anyone could be invited for the leading role, it doesn't matter if it's a big name, but absolutely don't show too much expression.
Although Lu Zhiyao's acting skills are good, but he has no expression, how can he use his acting skills?
So Pei Qian was not very angry, but accepted it frankly.
It’s best when the movie dies violently and loses everything, and Lu Zhiyao returns to "Box Office Poison", cutting off the possibility of everyone's future cooperation and letting each other go!
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the waiter began to serve the dishes one after another.
Pei Qian looked around again, and suddenly realized a problem.
That's not right, why is Lu Zhiyao the only one? What about the other actors?
Pei Qian's previous request to Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce was that there can only be one leading actor, and the others can only be side effects.
What about the extras?
Could it be that he didn't even care about the food because he was an actor?
That's too outrageous! It is too inconsistent with the spirit of Tengda!
Pei Qian's expression became serious, and he looked at Huang Sibo: "Why didn't the other actors come? Since it's a celebration banquet, there must be one of them!"
Huang Sibo was stunned for a moment, and then quickly explained: "Oh, Mr. Pei, everyone on the set is here, including the errands for the production."
"There are no extras because we didn't hire any extras at all. The only actor is Lu Zhiyao."
Pei Qian: "?"
This Huang Sibo actually overfulfilled the task?
Pei Qian's request to them is that there can only be one starring role, and the others are all secondary roles.
As a result, Huang Sibo even saved the tricks!
Co-authoring this movie from beginning to end, is it all a one-man show by Lu Zhiyao alone?
It is very unreliable when you hear it, and it is very likely that the box office will die suddenly!
Pei Qian couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Very good! Well done!"
Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce looked at each other and smiled, and they both saw a kind of pride in each other's eyes.
Boss Pei really deserves to be Boss Pei, he guessed the brilliance of our "one-man drama script" in an instant, that's why he praised us so much.
What a bosom friend!
Pei Qian looked at Lu Zhiyao: "How do you feel during the acting?"
Lu Zhiyao smiled a little guilty: "Mr. Pei, to be honest, I don't feel particularly good."
"The whole process is a one-man show, it's too difficult for me to act!"
"Furthermore, Director Zhu also requested that there should not be too many expressions, and the facial muscles must be less changed. I feel so suffocated that I almost go crazy..."
Pei Qian couldn't help but beam with joy.
Yes, Not Bad!
It's a one-man show, and the leading actor's acting skills haven't been brought into full play. It's definitely a bad movie, so it's gone!
Pei Qian originally wanted to ask Zhu Xiaoce for the script to read, but then he thought about it, what's so good about the script of a bad movie?
Besides, the filming of the film has already been finished, and the raw rice has been cooked. Even if I read the script now, it is impossible to reshoot, otherwise the film will not be released in time, which will affect the settlement.
So Pei Qian didn't feel bad for himself, and raised his drink: "Everyone has worked hard these past few months! Eat and drink well today, have a good time in Jingzhou for a few days, and wait for the 20th to invite everyone to Wuming Eat at the restaurant!"
The crowd immediately burst into cheers.
You can’t get enough food at the nameless restaurant. Everyone has been busy for months and is waiting for this meal. Can’t you be excited?
It's officially finished, and everyone has relaxed, enjoying the food, chatting and laughing at the same time, and the scene is harmonious.
...
After Pei Qian was full, he excused himself to be busy with work and left, but everyone in the production team was clearly not enjoying themselves, and some of them even opened wine and chatted while drinking.
Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo continued to discuss the later stages of "Mission and Choice".
The film crew's camera and production staff can rest, unless there are individual shots that need to be re-shot. But there are still a lot of problems in fine cutting and post-production, and Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo can't just sit back and relax.
While discussing, Huang Sibo's phone rang.
Huang Sibo saw that it was Rui Yuchen calling.
"Um?"
Huang Sibo was a little surprised, because his usual work had nothing to do with Rui Yuchen.
Rui Yuchen is in charge of Moyu takeaway, why are you calling yourself? Could it be that Rui Yuchen wanted to advertise Moyu Takeaway in the movie?
That can't be played, "Mission and Choice" is a sci-fi theme, is it plausible to have an ad for a fish takeaway in it?
With some doubts, Huang Sibo answered the phone.
After exchanging pleasantries, Rui Yuchen explained the purpose of coming here: "Brother Huang, it's like this. You know Mr. Pei bought a company called Lengmian Girl before, right? I chatted with the person in charge here a few days ago and learned that they want to I want to make a documentary about food stalls."
"I heard that you guys have made documentaries before, so I want to lead you guys in. It's not impossible to find someone else to shoot. The key is that I don't know the level of people outside, and I'm afraid I won't be satisfied with the shoot."
"The only problem is that you were shooting e-sports documentaries before. I don't know if you can handle food documentaries?"
Huang Sibo said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask Director Zhu."
He simply repeated Rui Yuchen's words, and got a positive answer from Zhu Xiaoce.
Huang Sibo said: "Yes, Director Zhu said, movies can be made, and food documentaries are of course no problem!"
"It's just that in order to achieve the best picture effect, some special photographic equipment may need to be prepared. But it's easy to say, our studio also needs to use these things, just buy them."
"You're really good at picking your time. You came to our door just after we finished filming this movie!"
Rui Yuchen was very happy: "Really? That's really a coincidence."
"Okay, then it's settled! I'll give you the contact information later, and you can simply check with the person in charge over there how to shoot and how much budget you need."
Huang Sibo: "It's easy to say, easy to say."
If you are cooperating with an outside company, you may still have a lot of concerns.
For example, what about bargaining across the board? What should I do if the other party is not satisfied with the photographed items? What should I do if there are some fee disputes during the shooting process?
This can be very annoying.
But if the internal departments of Tenda, there are not so many worries. Everyone gets money from Mr. Pei, and whoever is Party A will be Party B. This money is nothing more than a matter of left hand to right hand, and there is no need to worry about such a situation.
It just so happened that the filming was over, and many people in the crew were free and had nothing to do. I took this opportunity to shoot a promotional video for a gourmet show. Anyway, I was filming street food stalls. The work is not tiring, so it's just a way to refresh my mood.
Therefore, Huang Sibo readily agreed.
