Entertaining Children

   Chapter 1129

  Filming ends, which means that the shooting part is over, and the next step is to proceed with post-production.

  The post-production staff of the film is different from the staff at the time of shooting. With the exception of Xiao Yao himself, the producer and director, and an actor who may need to post-record dubbing, the rest of the crew does not need to participate in the post-production of the film. Xiao Yao held a closing banquet in Qingshuihe County nearby, and the crew disbanded on the spot.

  The post-production partner company and personnel have been negotiated by Xiao Yao before, and the location of film post-production is in Shanghai. The crew members went their separate ways, while Xiao Yao returned to Shencheng with the footage and the production crew belonging to the film and television company, as well as Sun Tingting.

  Although I have already contacted the post-production company and staff, but after nearly two months of continuous shooting in the northwest region, people are still relatively tired. Xiao Yao is not in a hurry to start the post-production of the film immediately, and intends to rest for two days before entering the working state. After returning to Shanghai, he first sent the filmed material back to the company, and then gave himself a few days off.

  When Xiao Yao and others returned to Shencheng, it was not only Lin Qisan and Nina. Aiguli who had finished playing and returned to Shencheng, but Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong happened to be in Shencheng.

  This is already mid-November, and the post-production of the film made by the new member of Yandian has been completed and has been reviewed. Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong came to Shencheng at this time. They came to the film and television company to discuss with the company's publicity department about a series of issues such as the distribution company, film schedule, and publicity plan for cooperation.

  Xiao Yao’s crew returned to Shencheng. The people in the company knew about it, and Zhao Rui and the four friends naturally knew about it. I heard that Xiao Yao gave himself a vacation after he came back. That night, Zhao Rui and others found Xiao Yao’s residence in Shencheng again.

Zhao Rui and others came under the banner of receiving the dust from Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting, but what they called "receiving the dust from the wind" was not inviting Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting out for dinner, but brought a bunch of ingredients to Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting. Dinner in a remote residence.

  Among a group of friends, Zhu Zitong, Lin Qisan and Zhou Zhihao are not good at cooking at all. Nina Aiguli and Zhao Rui are good at cooking, but their craftsmanship is average. In terms of culinary skills, the best craftsmanship among the few people is Sun Tingting, who inherited Sun Zhihao’s culinary skills, followed by Xiao Yao. According to Zhao Rui and others, both Sun Tingting and Xiao Yao's cooking skills are no worse than the chefs in the restaurant outside. When I went to visit the class, I couldn't help it outside. I went home. Of course, it was more comfortable and comfortable to eat at Xiao Yao's house. In addition to the good taste, there is no need to worry about gossip reporters and ordinary people watching after being recognized.

   Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting have long been used to the rogue behavior of Zhao Rui and others. Seeing that they were quite conscious of not only bringing the ingredients for a meal, but also adding a lot of food reserves to Xiao Yao's residence, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting still satisfied their wish.

   When Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting are alone together, Sun Tingting usually cooks and Xiao Yao washes the dishes. The six-person gathering was a lot of labor, so Xiao Yao started working with Sun Tingting. As for washing dishes and tidying up after eating, Xiao Yao is going to let Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan do it.

  Have a lively dinner. After drinking and eating, everyone will naturally have to sit and chat together. This chat naturally came to work again.

  The TV series of the newcomer team of Shen Opera has all been broadcasted, and the ratings and ratings are slightly better than the outside world's expectations before the broadcast. Currently, some sub-level local TV stations are being contacted to prepare for the second round of broadcasting. The company's marketing department also conducted an analysis and gave the results of the analysis that should continue shooting for the second quarter.

  This result was similar to what Lin Qisan had predicted during the previous visit. At that time, Xiao Yao had already given his opinion. Even if you want to shoot the second season, you will have to wait until next year to start the machine and try your best to use the original team, but you must also see the increase in the salary of the main staff. At that time, Zhao Rui and others were present, and they all agreed, so this topic quickly passed, and there was not much to say.

  After the TV series, the next step is the movie of the new team of Yandian. At present, the film has completed the post-production and review procedures, and is looking for a distribution company and determining the schedule and publicity plan.

  Speaking of the completion of post-production, Zhao Rui took out a U disk from his pocket and asked Xiao Yao: "Do you want to see the film in advance?"

   "Of course I do!" Sun Tingting replied before Xiao Yao answered.

  Sun Tingting has also seen the script of this movie by Yandian. After shooting such a black and humorous movie, Sun Tingting wanted to change his mind and wash his soul with a movie about campus youth.

   "Are you willing to let us see in advance?" Xiao Yao looked at Zhao Rui.

  Although Xiao Yao is the biggest boss of the film and television company, he has the right to request to watch the works produced by the company in advance. But after all, this movie has the taste of competition between Yandian and Shenxi. Zhao Rui knows that Xiao Yao will not take the initiative to ask for it. Under normal circumstances, Zhao Rui will not give them an internal screening.

   "What's the dissatisfaction with this!" Zhao Rui said, "You are also one of the producers, and you are still the first, you have the right to watch in advance!" Zhao Rui said.

   "Yes," Lin Qisan also said, "I told Stone before that I wanted to see what their film looks like in advance, and he didn't refuse, but said that we will watch it together when you come back."

   "If you are willing, of course I want to watch it." Xiao Yao nodded, and reached out to take the USB flash drive in Zhao Rui's hand.

  Xiao Yao’s residence has a large rear projection, sound equipment is very good, the sofa is also very comfortable, the viewing experience is definitely the best in a few people's home. After Xiao Yao started playing, everyone found a comfortable posture on the sofa and watched.

  Although several people have seen the first draft of the script and know the outline of the content, Xiao Yao still contributed the most original creativity to the script and the details of a fragment, but watching the script and watching the movie are completely different things, and everyone is still very engaged.

  It was nearly two hours of movie, and I finished watching it without knowing it.

  "How do you feel?" After the movie was over, Zhao Rui naturally asked about Xiao Yao's feelings.

   "Not bad!" Xiao Yao nodded, "If you ask me to rate it, it may be around seven points. For new directors and new actors, it is already very good!"

  "Are there any disadvantages?" Zhao Rui asked next.

"If you want to pick faults, you can definitely pick out some." Xiao Yao said, "but they are all subtle and terminal issues. Now that you have done everything in the later stage, you can't reshoot and modify it, and you are not a director. I don’t mean to be a director for the time being, and it doesn’t make much sense to tell you this. I feel pretty good just like that."

   "The crew has been disbanded, it is difficult to remake, and the video problem is not easy to change, so what about the soundtrack and interlude?" Zhao Rui said, "It is still possible to make some adjustments in these aspects."

"Huh?" Xiao Yao looked at Zhao Rui and said, "I heard that your finished films have already been reviewed. Are you contacting the publisher to discuss the release schedule and promotion plan? Do you want to adjust? That is to submit for review again. ?"

"It's okay to review it once." Zhao Rui said, "If you just modify the soundtrack or the episode, there will always be any violations that will cause the second review to fail, right? Determining the schedule and the publicity plan does not conflict with the second review. Some movies The schedule was announced and the publicity started before the review, but the review resulted in a file change or withdrawal. We are always more reliable than that kind of movie, right?"

"I can see it!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "You heard that my movie will take a few days later before starting to do it. I want to give myself a few days off, so I want to catch my strong man again. !"

   "I just want to catch you for a few days?" Zhao Rui said, "I still want you to participate in the promotion of the movie, and go to the road show with us!"

   "You have no opinion?" Xiao Yao turned to look at Lin Qisan.

"What can I say?" Lin Qisan said, "As I said last time, even if the film was shot by Yandian, it is always a work produced by our company. The better the film score, the higher the income of us. "

  "Do you have a sense of competition that you can't forget?" Xiao Yao said funny, "Aren't you afraid that their movie ratings are higher than our TV series?"

"Our TV series have been broadcasted, the results have been set, the ratings are not bad, and the reputation is not bad drama, I am satisfied." Lin Qisan said, "Movies and TV series are not the same after all, there is no too strong direct Comparability. I just don’t want to say that Yandian is making good movies and Shenxi is making bad ones. Now there is no such possibility. Even if Yandian’s movie ratings are a little higher, I don’t care."

"Okay," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "but it's useless for you to care! The soundtrack of this movie has been done well, even if I do it again, it will not necessarily be better than the original. Also, I just Just a producer, not even a producer, so you want me to go on a road show with you? I don’t even want to go on a road show with a movie starring me!"

   "I know this," Zhao Rui said, "I'm just making an analogy. Knowing that you are unlikely to go to a roadshow, so I am going to retreat."

   "What's next?" Xiao Yao asked.

  "The premiere of the movie!" Zhao Rui said.

  "The premiere only takes half a day, I will definitely participate!" Xiao Yao said.

   "Of course you have to participate!" Zhao Rui said, "And you not only need to participate, but you also have to come on stage for the creative members!"

"What?" Xiao Yao immediately shook his head, "Although the producer is also considered the main creative team, it is not a role that often appears at the premiere. I didn't do anything at all, so I came to the stage with you! I just give You are not on the platform!"

"No!" Zhao Rui said, "Even if you don't count the producer, the script of this movie is from the static movie you helped us shoot last year, even if we agreed to your request not to sign in the screenwriter, in our eyes you It's still the main creative team."

   "What kind of creative is this?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "I have only heard of the adaptation of movies that invited original novel authors to be the main creatives. Why did I take a few photos to become the main creative?"

"I won't talk to you about this," Zhao Rui waved his hand. "Even if you remove these, the theme song of our movie is your song. Are you still the singer of the theme song of our movie? You will perform at the premiere. Theme song, are you always going to sing on stage?"

"This," Xiao Yao thought for a while, nodded, "Then I will only sing on stage, and I will leave the stage after singing. Can I not participate in the following interview Q&A session? I didn't participate in the early and late stages of your movie. There really is nothing to say. Yes. You want me to participate in the live interview later, and be careful that I turn your film premiere into a promotional conference for my "Donkey Gets Water"!"

   "Okay! You can just go up and show up!" Zhao Rui thought for a while and agreed to Xiao Yao's request.

  There must be media for the premiere of the film, and the interview session is a great opportunity for exposure. The company’s biggest boss is also the biggest gainer. Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui are good friends with deep feelings. If you change to another company or other people, I’m afraid I’ll have to agree long ago. I’m afraid it’s already agreed. But Xiao Yao was here to bargain with Zhao Rui, and he was full of joy.

  This means that the people next to him are people close to Xiao Yao, who understand Xiao Yao’s character and style. If you change someone else, I'm afraid you will have to shout that you can't understand Xiao Yao again.

"I promised you this," Zhao Rui continued to Xiao Yao, "but you have to promise me too. After the premiere date is set, you have to find some big celebrities to help us on the stage at the premiere! "

  The production team of the movie is all newcomers, and it is naturally a weakness in terms of popularity. So in the premiere, more celebrities are invited to the platform, which is naturally an effective means of remedy. Xiao Yao understands this truth, and has no opinion on it, but...

"You and Zitong are both the second generation of stars. You two plus your family, the network resources in the circle are much better than mine, right?" Xiao Yao said, "and this is the work of Yandian students. Those big celebrities from Yandian should also be willing to support. Even if you don’t want the elders in your family to come forward, you can only rely on the two of you, shouldn’t you worry about not including big celebrities to the premiere?"

"The network resources of the two of us are not bad, but they are basically concentrated in the film and television industry." Zhao Rui said, "In the music circle, the four of us combined are not as good as yours, right? We may not even be as good as you alone. We are both. I'm not afraid to invite seniors in the music industry under your banner, but this is not as good as if you come out in person and ask to be sincere."

   "Also, who do you want to invite?" Xiao Yao nodded.

  "You can figure it out by yourself," Zhao Rui said, "It must be the bigger the card and the more sure the better!"

"My dad will definitely go, needless to say." Xiao Yao began to add together, "Brother Xiaodong's character, for no reason, shouldn't make it to the premiere of the movie, and I shouldn't be able to come forward. How about Liang Xueying? She has sang the theme song for many movies in recent years. There are many movie premieres, so she should be more comfortable. Although the theme song of this movie is not sung by her, she is invited to show the corresponding Not difficult. Teacher Hong Wei..."

  Speaking of this, Xiao Yao's eyes lit up and said to Zhao Rui: "You said the soundtrack and theme song of the movie can be changed?"

   "Yes," Zhao Rui nodded and said strangely, "But you didn't mean that you did it again by yourself, and it may not be better than the current one. In fact, there is nothing to change?"

"There is nothing to change the soundtrack." Xiao Yao said, "but the theme song can be changed. Even if the effect is the same, the current theme song is my old song. If a new song is used as the theme song, at least it will be publicized. There can be more gimmicks too!"

"New song? Did you write it?" Zhao Rui subconsciously said, and then continued, "This must be written by yourself. You said you were making a movie, and you didn't have the time and energy to make a soundtrack to the movie, but now your movie The filming is over, and the post-production has not yet begun. You have watched our movie. It should be no problem to write a theme song for the movie during the rest of these days."

   "That's what it means!" Xiao Yao nodded, "For me, writing songs does not affect my rest."

   Xiao Yao now feels tired because he was shooting a movie, and writing songs can change his mind, and it does not conflict with his purpose of relaxing.

   "Do you sing it yourself?" Zhao Rui asked unconsciously, and then said to himself, "Nonsense, you must sing the song by yourself!"

   "This is not nonsense!" Xiao Yao said, "I don't sing all the songs I write. I have not only written songs for others, but also written theme songs and ending songs for film and television works, and I sang them for others!"

   "This time, I don't plan to sing by myself!" Xiao Yao said, "I plan to write a song for Teacher Hong Wei to sing. In this way, I can invite Teacher Hong to perform on stage during the premiere, and I don't have to go there anymore."
