This director needs to apologize

Chapter 248: Not in the right place

The editing of "Love Letter" ended here, and the three of them happily went out to have a big meal together. Naturally, Chen Yiming, as the producer, treated them.

However, it is still very early before the film is officially submitted for review.

First of all, through editing, Xiangrui found a few places where the mood was not in place, and one or two additional shots were needed.

Then there are a lot of voice-overs to dub, and sound effects synthesis also takes some time.

Then there is the background music that Teacher Ge Jiming is busy working on. Chen Yiming just provided a simplified score, which can only be regarded as a beginning. Multiple versions of key-shifting music will be adapted based on this in the future.

And just one background music is definitely not enough. Lao Ge also needs to create several pieces of music with a similar style for different scenes in the movie.

After all these are completed, we still need to do post-production and add transition effects.

Finally, with the addition of bilingual subtitles in Chinese and Little Days, Shen Pengfei is quite optimistic about this film and intends to promote it to the country of Little Days. She said that the audience there likes this pure love tone best.

If the response to Xiaoli is good, Bangkok and Southeast Asia can also be considered.

It is expected that all submissions will be completed in two weeks, and the dragon mark will be obtained in one to one and a half months.

It will be released during the Chinese Valentine's Day in August, so it should be close to ten.

Naturally, Lao Niu and Lao Jia are responsible for promoting the publicity and distribution matters. The current Platinum Lord Chen Yiming no longer has to worry about these aspects.

After staying at home for another day, Chen Yiming went to No. 595 Caoxi Road the next morning to visit Mr. Ma.

Now that I have returned to the Magic City, I would like to go to my Taishang to worship at the dock.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw Mr. Ma put down the phone in his hand, raised his hand and greeted Chen Yiming with a cheerful face.

"Yi Ming is here, sit down."

As usual, Mr. Ma came out from behind the desk and asked Chen Yiming to sit down while personally making tea for Chen Yiming.

Chen Yiming couldn't afford this courtesy, so he quickly stood up and stood in wait.

He couldn't help but feel some unspeakable depression in his heart. Maybe there was another mission assigned to him.

Chen Yiming really wants to put down his directorship after finishing "Mulan" and just take a break as a screenwriter or producer.

The two of them pushed and exchanged polite words before sitting down to talk.

After they started chatting, Chen Yiming realized that he was being too preoccupied. Mr. Ma's good mood had nothing to do with him. It was simply because a project controlled by Moying had unexpectedly exploded.

As we all know, after Hong Kong City and Taiwanese filmmakers went north, most of the former had close ties with the Imperial Circle, while a small number plus the latter mainly cooperated with the Magic Circle.

Among them, the few commercial directors in Hong Kong who can handle the box office are basically based in the imperial capital.

The situation of Ma Erye in the Magic City is rather embarrassing. Most of the Hong Kong and Taiwan directors who work with him are middle-aged literary and artistic people. They keep winning awards, but the box office performance is somewhat disappointing.

The key is that the investment in literary and artistic films is not large, and the other party mainly comes to Moying to seek distribution support. Therefore, Moying invests even less, and the performance aspect is always unable to match.

In the past three years, the revenue from the Hong Kong and Taiwan projects that Moying has participated in will reach half of the investment profit of the "1951" movie. It is so miserable.

The profit sharing is small, and the copyright cannot be obtained, so it can only earn a reputation for promoting exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places.

Against this background, last month, "Beloved," a Taiwanese romance film invested by Moying Master Control, suddenly grossed 1.7 million at the box office. How could Mr. Ma not be delighted?

You must know that this movie has not been released yet, and it is very hopeful to break the 2 million mark.

This is Moying's best-performing project this year, and it is 100% labeled as Moying.

Compared to the eldest son produced by the Demonic Shadow Factory, he can still be regarded as a second-born son who lays eggs on the back of a chicken.

They are all his own children, and the father’s face will be bright.

After Chen Yiming finished his compliments, he talked about the progress of the current Platinum Jue project. Knowing that "Love Letter" is progressing quite smoothly, Mr. Ma was naturally overjoyed.

He had just tasted the sweetness of romance films. Previously, Platinum had another film "Holiday in the City" as a base, so he readily agreed that its theaters would promote "Love Letter" as if it were their own movie.

After all, of the 1500 million yuan invested in "Love Letter", 600 million yuan was actually invested by Moying.

The atmosphere was harmonious. Chen Yiming also talked about the "slightly slow" construction progress of the Tangcheng Film and Television Base in Xiangcheng. Ma Erye knew the elegant meaning after hearing the song and immediately stated that he would go there in person in the near future.

To be honest, the contract parties for this "real estate" project in Tangcheng are actually Jueli Media, a vest company jointly established by several major investors in "Mulan", and a certain district-level (high-tech) industrial park in Xiangcheng.

As the major shareholder of Jue Li and a high-level executive of Moying, Ma Erye visited Xiangcheng in the name of inspection, and at least a high-ranking official at the level of deputy boss was required to receive him.

This is much more powerful than Dazhuang's approach to the park's official positions. Presumably, the finishing work of the project will be significantly accelerated by then.

Mr. Ma was in a high mood today, probably because he had nothing urgent to do today, so he pulled Chen Yiming and refused to let him go. After talking about business, they went to the cafeteria of the Moying Group to have a small meal together.

At lunch time, the bustling Demon Shadow employees in the cafeteria saw their boss, who had always been unsmiling, smiling broadly, walking side by side with a handsome young man talking and laughing.

After whispering to each other, they naturally knew that the young man who made the big boss smile was actually Chen Yiming, the international double gold medal director.

In fact, not many people really know what Chen Yiming looks like. Even though he has tied the four major national directors Sun, Chen, Wang, and Jiang in terms of awards, his national popularity is still far behind, and his rise is still too short.

In addition, Chen Yiming has very few opportunities to appear in public and only appears on TV a handful of times. Passers-by only hear about it, and it is difficult to associate the title of international director with his current youthful appearance.

Take Mo Ying, who is extremely close to him, as an example. There are also many employees within the group who feel uncomfortable after meeting him.

Listening to the whispers along the way, Mr. Ma smiled and said to Chen Yiming, "It's better to come to the group more often. You see, many insiders are still making a fuss about you."

Chen Yiming took it back decisively, "They are not making a fuss over me. They are clearly very impressed by Uncle Ma's approachability. I think Uncle Ma should come out and walk around more often."

Second Master Ma stretched out his hand and tapped Chen Yiming, "You little naughty boy, I have eight sentences waiting for you for every word I say. Don't talk to me, use it more on writing scripts."

Chen Yiming put away the smile on his face and responded seriously, "Uncle Ma is right, I have written it all down."

Second Master Ma was so suppressed that he shook his head and said nothing again until he went upstairs to the private room.

Six dishes and one soup were served, and the two of them chatted while eating. Only then did Chen Yiming realize that ginger was still too spicy, and it would be a big mistake for him to stay here today.

It was really something that Mr. Ma invited him to have dinner with, and it was a "private matter" that was not convenient to discuss in the office.

She actually wanted to introduce him to a blind date!

Chen Yiming called him a good guy in his heart. He had just started to have some thoughts about men and women not long ago, and someone here introduced him to a partner.

Is it such a coincidence that sleepiness meets the pillow?

Chen Yiming reflexively refused, but he was too anxious to think carefully and sold his gay friend decisively.

"Uncle Ma, have you forgotten that one of my brothers, Teng, is single. It's him who should go on a blind date first. Even if he is young, he is already four years old. Don't you want to have your grandson soon?"

Mr. Ma shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about that brat. Besides, he has already known the person I want to introduce to you. If we could have been together, we would have been together a long time ago. There was no need for me to match him up." .”

Hearing what this meant was that he was still a childhood sweetheart, and must be a child of a similar class, so Chen Yiming immediately backed down.

Qi Da Feiqi, it is wrong to be in a wrong family.

Not to mention that he has no intention of starting a family now. Even if he really wants to get married, it is impossible to find a girl from that kind of family. He is just an ordinary working-class family member, and he really can't afford it.

Second Master Ma could see Chen Yiming's inner resistance at a glance. He did not try to persuade him, but just picked up vegetables and ate.

Chen Yiming was thinking of finding reasons to reject Mr. Ma's "good intentions", but he just sat on the Diaoyutai and remained silent.
