Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 285 285. "Chainsaw" encounters difficulties

On the first day of the new year, before Chen Li got up, his phone started ringing.

Countless text messages of blessings poured in, and the phone never stopped vibrating, followed by various calls.

Cao Hong, Wang Anrou, Liu Wanxin, Zhou Cheng, Wang Li and other people from their companies called me one after another just to say happy New Year.

There were also a large number of partners and well-known people in the circle who also called to wish him well. They called especially for the Chinese New Year, so Chen Li couldn't hang up directly, so his mouth went dry with auspicious words.

I was busy until noon. I thought it was almost done, but the phone calls became more intensive.

"Director Chen, we are from a local TV station. We would like to hire you to be the chief director of the Lantern Festival Gala. What do you think?"

"Mr. Chen Li, happy New Year. I am the general manager of Tianlai Music Company. I am very impressed after listening to the two songs you created. I wonder if you are interested in coming to our company to talk."

"Hello Mr. Chen, I am the singer Liu Xuhui. I really like the songs you have written. I think our creative ideas should be consistent. I would like to collaborate on a song with you."

"Ten million songs apiece, Mr. Chen, this is the greatest sincerity of our company. We sincerely ask you to help create it. Our artist Weng Li also loves you very much."

"Director Chen, your sketch "Selling Kidnappers" is so good. I don't know if the copyright can be sold."

Chen Li was overwhelmed with calls asking for cooperation. Being too popular was also a sin!

Song Yu, who was still working overtime during the Spring Festival, also sent him a large number of announcement invitations, all of which invited him to participate in interview activities.

Chen Li felt dizzy for a while. It seemed that he had underestimated the influence of the Spring Festival Gala.

No, it’s impossible to go for the interview.

Chen Li hated interviews the most. Going to these talk shows once was nothing, but going to them more often would be very annoying, because the questions and directions asked by the other party were all repeated, which required Chen Li to talk back and forth.

He doesn't lack money or fame, so why should he suffer like this!

Chen Li murmured: "Hey, it seems that I have to find a reason to leave the meeting recently and come back after the limelight has passed."

If these words were heard by other people in the entertainment industry, they would probably vomit blood. What a great exposure opportunity. It is an opportunity that everyone wants but cannot get, and this guy actually rejects it?

Is there any justice? !

At this moment, a video call came in, and when Chen Li saw it, it was Li Tian who was far away in Hollywood.

"Happy New Year, boss."

In the video, Allen and Li Tian greeted Chen Li with tired faces.

"What's going on with you guys?"

When Chen Li saw the two of them with messy hair and dark circles under their eyes, looking like they were being squeezed dry, Chen Li felt at a loss of whether to laugh or cry.

Allen glanced at Li Tian and said with a wry smile: "Let me tell you."

Li Tian was a little embarrassed, but after all, he had been with Chen Li for so long, and he still knew his character, so he explained: "Boss, we have finished filming "Saw"."

"This is a good thing." Chen Li smiled.

"The bad news is that the time is not enough." Li Tian said awkwardly.

This is also his first time making a movie. Although Allen is assisting him, he often has to explore by himself.

Although he was shooting a low-budget movie with an investment of only three million, he still had a very difficult time filming it. He would save as much money as possible and try his best to coordinate the filming before starting the movie.

But when he finally finished filming, he realized during editing that, well, the time was completely insufficient. Now that the money has been spent and the actor's contract has ended, it is impossible to reshoot.

This made him angry. Li Tian, ​​who was so frustrated, could only bite the bullet and report to Chen Li. However, it was impossible to report to Chen Li during the Chinese New Year. He just wanted to see if the boss could invest some more money. . If he was scolded, he would be scolded. He didn't want his hard work to go to waste.

Chen Li was dumbfounded: "Not enough time? How much difference?"

"Yes, with the opening and closing subtitles, there are only 85 minutes, which is not enough for the 100 minutes required for theatrical movies. Boss, can you help us?"

Seeing the other party's unspeakable expression, Chen Lixin took this opportunity to go out and hide, then smiled and said: "It's a small matter, I'll go over there immediately and give you guidance on filming the second part."

"What?"

Both of them were stunned. Want to come?

What's the situation? I just want my boss to give me some advice. How can I have the nerve to ask my boss to come over? Doesn’t this make them look bad?

Moreover, the first part has not been finished yet, so starting filming the second part is a bit hasty, right?

What if the first part doesn’t get a good response? Li Tian is not so confident in himself.

"It's not that troublesome boss, you don't need to go there in person." Allen said.

"Yes, boss." Li Tian quickly persuaded.

Chen Li shook his head: "It's not too troublesome. If this movie is done well, it will have a huge impact on the company, so we shouldn't underestimate it."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called Song Yu, asking her to cancel all her reservations and buy the nearest flight ticket to fly directly to Hollywood!

On the other side, Allen and Li Tian were both silent.

"The boss is so kind to us." Li Tian murmured to himself.

Allen patted him on the shoulder and expressed the same emotion: "If we were in Hollywood, investors would scold us in a situation like this. Not to mention asking for money, people would be kicked out, and the project would be replaced. ”

"There is absolutely no way that the boss can tell everything. He is a world-class director. Who like him personally takes action for small projects like ours? Sometimes I feel so lucky to meet someone like my boss."

Li Tian couldn't help but feel moved in his heart: "Yes, the boss is a pure person, a person born for movies. It is our honor to work under him, and we can't hold him back!"

The two of them started to prepare for Chen Li's arrival, just like they were given a shot of chicken blood.

Two days later, Chen Li disembarked from the Hollywood Airport coquettishly with sunglasses in his pocket.

Allen and Li Tian had been waiting for a long time. They excitedly took Chen Li to the car. They originally planned to let Chen Li rest for a while. After all, flying over half of the planet should be very tiring. Unexpectedly, Chen Li shook his head and said directly: " Go watch porn movies.”

So the three of them went straight to the studio.

The studio at this time is different from the past. After expansion by Allen and Li Tian, ​​it is now a film studio with more than 20 people.

When Allen and Li Tian took Chen Li into the studio, everyone working inside immediately stood up excitedly and looked at him with admiration.

"Director Chen is really here!"

"Wow! It's really him, Chen Li."

"I have been working here for more than half a year, and I finally see my idol!"

“My life mentor is here!!”

The people present were all people working in the film industry, and they were all fans of Chen Li, so seeing Chen Li was like meeting the godfather, and I couldn't contain my excitement.

Li Tian asked someone to open the edited "Saw" and quickly let Chen Li review it.
