China Entertainment: Sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore

Chapter 70 The little deer came to visit, but I refused at first...

"I don't worry about time." Gu Changwei calls himself a "perfectionist."

During the post-production of "Peacock", he asked Wang Shuo and Tian Zhuangzhuang to edit it. Later, he felt that "they were too cruel", so he took it back and re-edited it himself.

Indeed, Gu Changwei never worried about time. He had been working on the script for "The Beginning of Spring" for a long time. Long before the filming of "Peacock" started, Gu Changwei asked Li Qiang, the screenwriter of "Peacock", to write a sequel.

At the end of "Peacock", the sentence said by the younger brother, "When dad leaves, the beginning of spring will not be far away" is used as a postscript to the film.

However, the script of "The Beginning of Spring" was never finalized. It was not until "Peacock" won the Silver Bear Award for Best Film in Berlin in 2004 that screenwriter Li Qiang resumed writing it. The final draft was finalized last year before the filming of the film started. This process lasted four years.

"Hope is one thing, but if you rush it too much, it will be too late to regret it."

Gu Changwei is also considering the length of "The Beginning of Spring". "Peacock" was criticized by critics for trying to express too much, resulting in an imbalance in the structure.

"If a feature film exceeds 2 hours and 28 minutes, according to the regulations of Cinema Ju, there must be two parts, and the ticket prices may be different."

"For movie theaters that are unwilling to show them, shorter movies can be shown for 6 shows, while longer movies can only be shown for 5 shows."

"The Beginning of Spring" had to take this factor into consideration, and Gu Changwei also began to consider whether to release a director's cut DVD in the future.

When listening to Gu Changwei say these things, Chu Hui was also very modest and pious. After all, he was just a layman in the film industry, a newcomer, and he had a lot to learn.

Because of the pressure of time and schedule, Gu Changwei had no time to teach Chu Hui how to edit, and just let Chu Hui watch from the sidelines.

Therefore, most of the time, Chu Hui watched from Gu Changwei's side, helping to bring tea, water, and cigarettes.

If Gu Changwei knew that his wife was well taken care of by Chu Hui, he could work with peace of mind and spend more time with other women.

Maybe Lao Gu would be grateful to Chu Hui and treat Chu Hui better so as not to leave him alone.

Fortunately, Chu Hui had learned editing before and had consulted with the crew's editor. After watching Gu Changwei's operation, he gradually gained his own insights and understanding.

After working hard for a few days, Gu Changwei saw that Chu Hui was still working hard and staying by his side every day. He was finally moved by his persistence and asked Chu Hui to edit a section.

Because Gu Changwei knew in his heart that if Chu Hui didn't enjoy it himself and try to edit and change it, the grandson would probably stay here forever.

Although Chu Hui did help him a lot here, Chu Hui's presence made Gu Changwei feel very uncomfortable and seriously affected his personal space.

Seeing Chu Hui's familiarity with the road, Gu Changwei was surprised and pleased at the same time. He patted Chu Hui on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Chu, you are very talented. It's your first time editing and you're so proficient. Simple."

Without waiting for Chu Hui to answer, Gu Changwei handed Chu Hui another Zhongnanhai and said, "Xiao Chu, starting from tomorrow, you don't have to come."

"I am here to officially announce that you have left the army."

"I..." Chu Hui swallowed the words before he spoke, and changed his words: "Okay director, thank you director."

In fact, Chu Hui also knew in his heart that Gu Changwei wanted him to leave from the first day.

However, because of his wife Jiang Wenli, and Chu Hui being the leading actor in his own movie "The Beginning of Spring", Gu Changwei couldn't get away with it, so he let Chu Hui stay a few more days.

Now that Gu Changwei had issued an eviction order, no matter how thick-skinned Chu Hui was, he was too embarrassed to stay any longer. After saying goodbye to Gu Changwei, he left the production headquarters of the movie "The Beginning of Spring".

While waiting for the bus downstairs, Chu Hui was quite depressed, thinking to himself, I had just been here a few days and it was announced that I had left the army, and there was no one left.

Chu Hui, who was in a depressed mood, took out his lighter and lit a cigarette for himself regardless of his image.

While Chu Hui was smoking a cigarette and waiting for the bus on the side of the road, a tall and graceful figure walked past her.

Although the other party was wearing a mask and a hat, Chu Hui could vaguely guess the other party's identity as soon as he saw her eyes and her sharp look.

The two looked at each other and looked at each other.

After only staying for a moment, the woman hurriedly left and walked towards the "Beginning of Spring" film headquarters.

It was only then that Chu Hui suddenly realized why Gu Changwei was in such a hurry to get away from him. His feelings were just to facilitate his tryst with this woman.

Thinking that this was the reason, Chu Hui not only felt relieved, but also understood that Gu Changwei was a man, either for money or for women.

Moreover, Chu Hui has not gained nothing in the past few days. He has indeed learned a lot of knowledge and experience in film production, which has also laid the foundation for him to become a director and make films in the future.

In addition, Chu Hui also raised 200 million yuan two days ago, and together with Zhu Zhibin, Jiang Wenli, and Jiang Wenjuan, they invested a total of 1000 million yuan to start investing in the drama "The Age of Naked Marriage."

Originally, Chu Hui himself did not have enough money, but fortunately, Li Xiaoran directly gave him 100 million yuan, and also found introductions from friends in the industry such as Jin Dong and Zhou Xiaoou, so that he could barely scrape together 200 million yuan.

If nothing else goes wrong, according to the crew's plan, the drama "The Age of Naked Marriage" will start filming on April 4.

Although it was still some time before the film was released, Chu Hui did not relax and began to think about creating his third script. Speaking of the third script, Chu Hui also thought a lot before writing.

After the drama "The Age of Naked Marriage" was completed and aired, Chu Hui decided not to sell his third script to others. He decided to write, direct, act, and raise investment to prepare the drama himself.

Therefore, the third script Chu Hui will write next must only succeed and not fail.

Because the success or failure of this play determines whether he can successfully transform from an actor to a director.

night.

Yanjing Second Ring Road, in an 11-square-meter rental house.

Chu Hui sat on the bed, took out pen and paper, and "prepared" to write his third script.

However, just as Chu Hui started to write the first word, he received a call from Li Xiaolu.

Li Xiaolu, who was on the other end of the phone, was not polite to Chu Hui and said, "Huizi, come out and pick me up. I'm on my way to your house."

Chu Hui sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll be right away."

After saying that, Chu Hui got off the bed, left the room, and went outside the alley to pick up Li Xiaolu.

As soon as he saw Chu Hui, Li Xiaolu said proudly: "I knew you must be at home."

Chu Hui asked back: "What if I'm not at home, then your trip was not in vain?"

Li Xiaolu smiled and replied: "No, I happened to be getting my hair done nearby, not far from you, so I stopped by to see you."

Chu Hui smiled and joked: "No wonder why I think your hair smells so good. It turns out you just washed your hair."

Li Xiaolu asked back: "Isn't it possible?"

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with that!"

"..."

After entering the room, seeing the table and pen and paper on the bed, Li Xiaolu asked with great interest: "Are you writing a script again?"

Chu Hui replied truthfully: "Yes, I am idle anyway. I might as well write scripts and make some money."

Li Xiaolu looked at Chu Hui curiously: "Can you really write a script?"

Chu Hui said: "Of course, you will know after a while. It is not convenient to reveal it now."

After chatting for a while, Chu Hui began to boil water and make tea.

It seems that time has returned to a few months ago, when I was still filming on the crew of "Struggle".

Perhaps because they were so familiar with each other, although Chu Hui and Li Xiaolu chatted happily, they were very conservative and restrained in their actions.

After a few cups of tea, Li Xiaolu suggested: "I won't drink tea anymore. Let's have a bar. I want to drink."

The visitor was a guest, and Chu Hui was very polite and asked her: "What kind of wine would you like to drink?"

Li Xiaolu asked: "What kind of wine do you have here?"

Chu Hui said: "White wine, do you want to drink it?"

Li Xiaolu shook his head: "No, just drink beer. I didn't see it tasted bad."

Chu Hui said cheerfully: "Okay, then I'll go out and buy it."

Not long after, Chu Hui returned to the rental house with a box of Qingdao bottles of wine.

Li Xiaolu smiled and joked: "Why did you buy so many? You are not being kind and want to get me drunk, are you?"

Chu Hui said: "What you said is that if I get you drunk, what good will it do to me? Aren't I the one who has to do the hard work? I am also responsible for sending you home. Is it easy for me?"

Li Xiaolu joked: "If you really get me drunk, you don't have to send me back. I will be merciful and let you stay here for one night."

"Your environment is a little bad, and it's a little small, but I don't mind it."
