I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 357 [Not participating in the premiere for the first time]

Zhang Xueming was conceived at the end of August last year. According to the time, May and June this year are considered the period of waiting for childbirth.

Probably, it was a month after Tomi River was released.

Tomie completed post-production in early March.

As for Lu Zhengyi, who had already entered the class of great directors in the Tang Dynasty, his popularity also affected the efficiency of review.

For example, in the past, it took him nearly a month to complete post-production and send the finished film to the Film and Television Bureau for review.

But now, in less than half a month, he received the result of the review.

After all, as a great director, he is already familiar with all aspects of reviewing content that needs to be avoided. He makes preparations in advance, and the staff on the review side can easily check, and the efficiency is naturally improved.

However, the rapid review process in China does not mean that the movie will be released before April.

After all, there are overseas channels.

Wei Kang, the leader of the photography team, sometimes does not need to give any additional advice himself, he can arrange many shots from different angles properly.

comments like that.

Zhang Xueming shook his head and was about to say something.

On the lunch table,
When Zhang Xueming once again proposed that she didn’t need to be with her all the time and could go to work, Lu Zhengyi responded helplessly, “And now that the big guys in the crew have grown up, work matters, even if they leave, Me and they can do well too.”

"Especially Wei Kang and Xiaowei. They have asked me privately before about taking on private jobs. Although they ended up letting it go, they have every chance of getting more."

Because of the success of one movie after another, and Lu Zhengyi never hesitates to mention the name of his team.

If they didn't choose to make a horror movie, and found another type of movie, or simply made a TV series, with the ability of each member of their team, they would still be able to work without themselves as the director, and they would still be able to pay themselves a salary.

"It has been eight years since I was born in the mountain village and now I am Fujiang. This year is the ninth year."

Zhang Xueming used a spoon to scoop up the porridge in the bowl, "Actually, there are quite a few studios that have recruited them privately."

Whenever there are important publicity occasions, they do not take credit in the name of the individual, but emphasize the importance of the team. Therefore, the Mei Li Mao team is now very famous in the circle.

For example, when hearing personal names such as "Wei Kang", "Xiaowei", and "Ajie", some relevant staff in the industry can often tell their origins, and get "Oh, Lu Zhengyi's chief photographer" ', 'The dedicated stylist of the Mei Tanuki team', 'Responsible for the props of the movie curse...'

At work, they all managed to work together with all their strength. During this serious process, their work abilities grew rapidly.

There are two dramas a year, one is shot and the other is released, and time flies by.

Bai Wei, the assistant director, has been able to take charge of his own role and can come up with many storyboard ideas during filming.

But their respective abilities have already been recognized by the industry.

"...Yes, time always feels like it flies by when you do something you like."

They didn't want to disturb Lu Zhengyi and his wife's life together.

How to design makeup that is more in line with the character according to the script, Xiao Wei, the leader of the makeup team, has always done it better than herself...

But because Lu Zhengyi’s salary package is already the highest in the industry, and the relationship between them is good.

"Don't you have an appetite? Let's go out for a walk together later. Let's buy whatever we want to eat on the way."

His voice was also very soft.

Although in the Southern Dynasty, this 'Fujiang' has been very popular, but it still takes some time to review.

Lu Zhengyi said with emotion, "Unconsciously, it turns out that everyone has come so far."

"So it will probably be busy at the end of April or early May."

Therefore, even when there was no work, they did not go out alone to pick up private work, because they were afraid that Lu Zhengyi suddenly said that filming was going to start, and they would not be able to take care of their work.

"I know this better than you."

"Is that so? I haven't heard them mention it."

"It's okay, I..."

Zhang Xueming was stunned at first, then, staring blankly at the face in front of her that had never changed, she responded softly, "Making movies is something you like, and I don't want to delay your work because of me."

Without joking, with the current situation of the crew, they can still make a good movie even without themselves.

"Is it possible that making movies is what I want to do, and being with you is also what I want to do now." Lu Zhengyi glanced at the barely touched porridge in her bowl, "I don't I don’t think that being with you is something that makes me stop. I’m still moving forward.”

This sentence is no joke, the crew has followed him for so many years.

It’s just that if you have yourself, you can use some special staff and items to achieve better shooting results.

In addition, there are also some language and text translations that need to be prepared for audiences in various countries, which all take time.

"The grassroots team that was hastily formed at the time, hey, it was already several years ago, um... eight years ago, right?"

Time flies so fast.

"By the way, let's stop by the company and have a look later. Although the boss lady has asked for leave, she still has to go for inspections occasionally."

"As for Wei Kang, with his current reputation in the industry, the price for a single photo shoot is around 150,000 to 200,000 yuan. As for Xiaowei, a top-notch artist previously offered an annual salary increase of one million yuan. Bonus treatment, ask her to be the head of the styling team, your crew is not only growing as a director. "

But to those in the industry, these behind-the-scenes members are also extremely famous.

Maybe for outsiders, when they think of the "Mei Civet Cat" crew, they will only think of Lu Zhengyi and his works, as well as some actors in front of the screen.

After the first few elderly people in the family returned to Beidu, they didn't stay at home too long and went back to their old homes.

"Go."

Lu Zhengyi stood up and came to her side, gently rubbing her shoulders with his hands, "You go upstairs and change clothes, I will wash the dishes."

Zhang Xueming paused, nodded and stood up.

"Where are you guys?"

Lu Zhengyi looked at Ayong and Black Snake who were eating silently aside, "Do you want to go together later?"

"Meow."

A Yong took the time to raise his head from the bowl and shouted, obviously refusing to be the light bulb.

Next to him, Black Snake also hissed.

He knew that Lu Zhengyi couldn't understand what he said, so he shook his head and expressed his meaning with his body.

From the time he met until now, Black Snake has always restrained himself and has not done anything out of the ordinary.

So now, he has gained a certain degree of freedom and no longer needs to be carried by Lu Zhengyi as a walking stick all the time like before.

And upstairs,

Zhang Xueming came to the closet and picked out the clothes to wear when going out.

But looking left and right, every piece of clothing looked bloated.

She took another look at the clothes she had worn before, and the mood on her face suddenly dropped.

Randomly taking a few pieces of clothing from the pile of bloated and loose clothes, Zhang Xueming went to the bathroom and changed into them.

She looked at herself in the mirror, looking a little dazed.

His eyes were full of strangeness.

Lu Zhengyi still looks the same as before. Whether it is physical or personality, he is no different from when he met him. He seems very reliable and can face everything calmly.

And what about yourself?

Regardless of their personality or appearance, they are now two people.

"Nine years..."

she murmured.

……

"You look very tired." After returning home in the evening, Lu Zhengyi said jokingly, "Do you need me to help you take a bath?"

"Go away!"

Zhang Xueming rejected it without hesitation, "You are not allowed to enter the house! Wait until I finish washing before you go upstairs!"

"...good good."

Lu Zhengyi sat down helplessly in the living room, "These are an old couple."

But when Zhang Xueming went upstairs, the smile on his face softened a little and he fell into thinking.

"Hey, do you think she has that kind of... prenatal depression?"

He turned his head and looked at Ayong who was watching TV series on the sofa next to him.

"Meow?"

A Yong's attention was interrupted and he turned his head blankly.

"Ang, we didn't go to the company." Lu Zhengyi nodded, "I walked around and had something to eat this afternoon. I originally planned to go over to see the light and shadow, but she said forget it and wouldn't disturb other people's work, so I didn't. go."

At this point, he paused, "But this is wrong... This is not like her style. It has been more than a month since I came back."

"In the past month, I have never seen her go to the company once, and I have never heard her mention it."

"There's something obviously wrong. She doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

Ayong shouted again, "Meow."

"Did she stay at home before traveling to the Southern Dynasty?" Lu Zhengyi looked worriedly at the stairs, "That is indeed very wrong, it has lasted so long."

"But in terms of her health, I accompanied her for a prenatal check-up. The doctor said that all the values ​​were fine, and the baby in her belly was also very healthy. It must be because of her mood."

"It seems that when some people are expecting to give birth, they will be affected by the fetus in their body and have some changes in appetite and spirit. Do you think, as a husband, I should do something for her at this time?"

Ayong was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself with his cat's paw, "Meow?"

What, you ask me?
"Please, this is my first time in this area."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him helplessly, "Help me with some ideas, buddy."

"……Meow."

Ayong is also very helpless, he is just a cat!
"hiss--"

Next to him, Black Snake also came over and said something hoarsely.

Lu Zhengyi didn't understand, but A Yong acted as the translator.

"Gift?"

Lu Zhengyi scratched his head, "It's a bit late now, and...she doesn't seem to like it very much."

"hiss……"

Black Snake continued.

"Meow."

Ayong was translating, but after translating, he looked at Black Snake with disgust and shouted again.

"Indeed, you have watched too many TV series." Lu Zhengyi also looked at Black Snake in agreement, "Xue Ming is not the kind of character who likes to talk sarcastically. If she didn't show interest, then she really doesn't have any ideas."

Not all girls like duplicitous expressions.

Although Zhang Xueming sometimes said words that were not in line with her heart because of her scruples.

But that was all so that he could work better, not because of her, so he gave up his hobby.

But when it came to the gift, she expressed that she was not interested, that is, she was not interested.

"..."

The black snake was disgusted by the two people, flicked its tail, and ran away in despair.

"Forget it, you two are unreliable."

Lu Zhengyi shook his head, "Oh, I can't count on anyone, so I'll just have to think about it myself!"

"Ayong, you have watched so many TV series in vain."

"You've been reading this for a long time, but you haven't learned anything yet!"

Shaking his head, he walked upstairs.

On the sofa, Ayong was suddenly left alone.

After a long while, he tilted his head and said, "Meow?!"

……

"Director Lu, is he really not coming?"

"...This is a bit of a turn of events."

"This is the first time that I don't pay attention to Director Lu during a movie premiere..."

Fu Jiang's filming and poster pre-heating are already very routine processes for both the crew and the lighting.

Even though this movie is set in the Southern Dynasties, it has previous publicity, so in fact, there is not much change.

But this time, due to some previous events, no one from the crew went to the theaters in Nanchao to do offline statistics. All the work was done by Guangying and the cooperative company in Nanchao.

Anyway, domestic theaters are also releasing it at the same time, and they all stay in the country to participate in the premiere.

Among them, Bai Wei, Xu Feng, Kanda Kyoko, and Takahashi Fumi are all here in Beidu, so they plan to go to the premiere together for an unannounced visit.

However, as soon as they arrived at the scene, Bai and Wei confirmed that Lu Zhengyi did not intend to join them.

"Did Director Lu always go to the scene to follow up in person?"

Takahashi Fumino asked Bai Wei and the others in quite proficient Tang dialect.

"Besides, are there no offline activities here?"

Kanda Kyoko was also asking next to her.

After the two of them were banned from the Heguo entertainment industry and joined the Mei Civet Cat crew, they have now focused their work on the Tang Dynasty.

Although it is the holidays, I will also go back to my country to reunite with my family.

But most of the time, they stayed in Tang State, waiting for job opportunities.

Tang Yu naturally had to be proficient enough, so both of them worked hard.

"Of course, in addition to the filming of the film, what Director Lu attaches most importance to is the audience's feedback."

Bai Wei explained, "He is not willing to let others do the work. He likes seeing to be believed and seeing with his own eyes the audience's evaluation of our work, so he will be there every time a movie premieres."

"Of course, this time seems to be special, but I can understand it. You don't know. Mr. Zhang, Director Lu's wife, is almost ready to give birth. It's time to... give her some extra treats."

"As for offline activities, because some unpleasant things happened before, Director Lu canceled the road show in order to prevent some people from maliciously seeking profit in the process."

As he said this, he also felt a little emotional.

For the first time, this was the first time he saw Lu Zhengyi voluntarily give up the premiere venue.

However, Bai Wei felt more friendly to Director Lu like this.

"Hey, hey, it seems like... Fumi Takahashi over there?"

"Wait, is that Fumi Takahashi?"

"And the one next to him, isn't that deputy director Bai Wei? I've seen him before at the premiere road show of Double Eyes!"
