The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 59 Done

At nine o'clock in the morning on December 2000, 12, a cold wind blew up in Shanghai, dark clouds covered the sun, and it was unclear whether it was going to snow or not.

In the conference room of Shanghai Film Studio, a middle-aged man was bending over to apologize to Lee Shengyao.

This person was the editor who said that Lee Shengyao had completed the editing in three days and was completely fooling around. Later, this person called the people from Shanghai Satellite TV, which caused the news to spread.

"Director Li, it's all because of my blindness. Please don't bother with me, my lord."

"I heard that you like drinking tea. I've prepared some Pu'er for you. It's a little fun."

In fact, Li Shengyao didn't know who this person was at all, and he didn't care about this person.

Since you don't care, naturally there will be no hatred.

"You don't have to apologize to me, I did finish editing in three days, and I didn't take this matter to heart."

"Thank you, director, you are really a prime minister who can pull a boat in his belly, I admire you."

Li Shengyao smiled, "Take the tea back."

"This……"

"Take it back, no relatives and no reason, it's not good."

The middle-aged man nodded, happily took back the tea, and then left.

Not long after, Shanghai Film Studio arranged for five editors to edit "Funny Family" for Li Shengyao, among them was the middle-aged man who had just delivered tea.

"Change him. Although I don't hate him, I can't trust him. If he leaks the plot, who will be responsible for the loss."

He really didn't hate this man, not at all.

He doesn't care about a little shrimp, but out of sight, out of mind.

Amid the pale face of the middle-aged man, Shanghai Film Studio quickly changed an editor.

Li Shengyao clapped his hands, "Everyone, let's start working. This time, we are running out of time. Let's hurry up. When the work is finished, I will give everyone a big red envelope."

A few editors who had just thought Li Shengyao was stern were very excited when they heard the words.

They then entered the editing room, and then the five editors followed Lee Sung Yew's order and started working.

Although there are more editors, the editing speed of "Funny Family" is actually much slower than the previous "Love Hotel".

It's not Lee Sung Yew, or the editor's problem.

The reason why other dramas are slow is that editors need to understand the director's style and the core of the story, they need to think, and they need to guess what kind of picture and rhythm the director wants.

Li Shengyao doesn't need it here, he knows what he wants.

The editors can splice the screen shots according to his ideas.

But "Funny Family" is a sitcom, with more close-ups of faces and more reactions from others.

Idol dramas like "Love Hotel" are more of a front-to-back fight, with the screen facing the hero for a while and the heroine for a while.

Generally speaking, there are not many perspective switching.

But sitcoms capture more people and need to let the audience see their expressions.

That is to say, the workload becomes larger, and the time required will naturally be longer.

Lee Sing Yew has long been mentally prepared, and the editors are also experienced, and everyone is not discouraged or has other negative emotions.

Under the lure of red envelopes, the editors just did it.

After the editing of the first episode was completed, Li Shengyao immediately sent someone to the recording studio next door for dubbing.

In this way, Li Shengyao, editor, sound engineer, and actors started working together.

Li Shengyao is undoubtedly the busiest person. He not only has to direct the editing, but also check the effect of dubbing and soundtrack. This has caused him to sleep for five hours a day recently. After a long time, Chen Xun gave him clams and leeks. He was a little bit downcast.

Fortunately, Chen Xun was sensible. Seeing that Li Shengyao was tired, she took control of the steering wheel by herself.

Work makes people happy, work makes people forget time.

In the blink of an eye, 31 days passed, and the editing room of Shanghai Film Studio burst into cheers.

The five editors hugged each other excitedly, and they completed the editing of 140 episodes.

Li Shengyao took out the red envelope that he had prepared a long time ago, "Brothers, thank you."

Five red envelopes, [-] each, which is about the same as their monthly salary.

"Director Li, if you need it in the future, just ask us. You are a talented director, and we are willing to work with you."

This is the power of money.

Li Shengyao laughed, nodded, and then left.

Two days later, Li Shengyao sent out [-] red envelopes. Accompanied by cheers of "Long live the director", the post-production of "Funny Family" was officially completed.

It is already January 1, and the Lunar New Year will be in two days.

Li Shengyao asked his assistant to buy air tickets for the actors, and he personally sent Li Mingqi to the taxi, "Teacher, it's been hard this time, and I will definitely not hurry like this in the future."

Li Mingqi waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, I also want to watch "Funny Family" earlier, and after finishing it a year ago, the big rock in my heart will fall, and I can celebrate the New Year without any burden."

"Okay, then I wish you a happy new year, and wish you good health and a long life."

After seeing off Li Mingqi, Li Shengyao saw Jiang Chunming and Zhong Dahui who had been waiting for a long time in the hotel.

The two are waiting to be seen as a piece.

Li Shengyao didn't say much, and immediately asked someone to send them there.

"Director Zhong, Director General, you and Dafu Film and Television Company should settle the matter of the follow-up contract. I'm going home for the New Year."

The original owner's parents had already urged him to go home.

Li Shengyao felt a little awkward, but he took up his body after all, so he should go back and deal with it.

He planned to spend money to buy a few houses and a few shops for the original owner's parents in their hometown.

Now the housing price in a small southern county is 20 square meters, and it will rise in the future. In [-] years, it can reach [-] to [-] square meters. It can be regarded as an investment for the two elders.

After Chunming and Zhong Dahui left, Chen Xun had packed up and saluted. There were two suitcases in total, mainly Chen Xun's things, while Li Shengyao had some clothes and a notebook.

"gone."

She was going to accompany Li Shengyao home for the New Year, and she smiled at this moment, it could be seen that she was really happy.

Li Shengyao thought that bringing such a beautiful girlfriend home would make the original owner's parents happy and the atmosphere would be better, so he agreed.

"I also prepared a lot of gifts for your parents, and your grandparents."

Li Shengyao nodded, "Okay, I'll remember, I will bring gifts when I go to your house for the New Year next year."

Chen Xun was overjoyed when he heard the words, jumped up and hugged Li Shengyao, took a sip, "It's a deal."

The two of them left the hotel with their suitcases and got into a taxi. Li Shengyao closed his eyes and leaned on the seat.

About "Funny Family" is finally finished, and he will not be in charge of it later, I hope to clean up Changhong.

After all, he was still waiting for Wanwan Island Country to buy the broadcasting rights.
