Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 34 Reba's singing and dancing rap
Within a few days, Yi Xiaoxing completed the company's procedures, and the name was still Wanhe Tianyi.

The registered capital is 200 million yuan, and Cheng Xi used his personal studio to invest 40 yuan to hold a % stake.

I don't participate in the company's specific operations, it's basically a friendly investment, but Wanhe Tianyi should be able to make money in a few years, and I will still make money.

As for myself, I will definitely devote myself to running my own personal studio.

Cheng Xi did not ask how other people distributed their shares.

After Yi Xiaoxing Company was established, it immediately started the filming plan for the extra episode.

The script was worked out by Cheng Xi, Yi Xiaoxing, Zhang Benyu and Bai Ke in a seminar together, where they brainstormed together.

Finally, the script for three episodes was finalized, and the length was slightly longer than before.

When they learned that "Wan Wan" was going to shoot a spin-off, several entertainment companies even approached Cheng Xi and Yi Xiaoxing, hoping to squeeze in a few newcomers to show their faces.

Cheng Xi did not agree. It was just a three-episode extra episode that could be completed in a few days. It would save time and effort to use the original crew to produce it.

If it really is necessary, we will see if there are any suitable candidates when we shoot the second season of "Wan Wan".

When the original crew gathered again at Huairou Film and Television City, everyone was filled with emotion.

I never expected that "Wan Wan" would become so popular.

At that time, a large number of people were working with a slacking attitude, but now the mental state of the crew is completely different.

It can be said that orders are strictly enforced and the target is hit wherever pointed.

Participating in "Wan Wan" is now a great qualification.

"Director, Producer Cheng, have some water."

Cheng Xi looked at his senior brother who brought him water and was a little confused.

Before, he was doing odd jobs on the crew, delivering water to everyone and doing service work.

Now that "Wan Wan" has become a hit, the crew's attitude towards Cheng Xi and the director has changed a lot. Several of Cheng Xi's senior brothers are obviously not as open to him as before.

This senior brother who delivered water was the one who disrespected Cheng Xi the least at that time.

Cheng Xi had no way to deal with this, and he didn't mean to look down on this senior brother, because that was human nature.

The crew now has sufficient budget, with special cars for pick-up and drop-off, a four-star hotel, and uniformly upgraded costumes and props.

The previous budget was just over 4 per episode, but now it has been increased to 20 per episode.

Youku will cover half of the filming costs, while Cheng Xi's personal studio and Wanhe Tianyi will cover the remaining half.

Although the crew has become more professional in all aspects, Cheng Xi still likes the lively atmosphere of the past where everyone is like friends.

But no matter what, the shooting speed is faster.

With everyone's tacit cooperation, the three episodes of the extra-series were completed in just three days.

In the evening, near Beijing Film Academy, in a hotel box.

I had just finished filming a modern drama spin-off of "Wan Wan" at Beijing Film Academy in the afternoon, so I decided to hold a wrap-up party nearby.

Last time, because the crew was so poor, we just found a random restaurant to have a meal.

No matter what, I will make it up to everyone this time.

Nearly 30 people from the crew, including actors and behind-the-scenes personnel, were all present, and Yi Xiaoxing's partner Bai Zhongchun also came to congratulate him.

As soon as everyone arrived, the hotel owner heard about it and rushed over to say hello.

He was very surprised when he heard from his employees that the crew of the hottest TV series "Wan Wan" was coming to his hotel for a dinner.

He immediately brought a few large fruit plates and a bottle of good wine and insisted on giving them to Cheng Xi and the others to express his love for the drama "Wan Wan".

Seeing that the boss was really enthusiastic, everyone thanked him and accepted the gifts.

It seems that "Wan Wan" is really popular in all walks of life now.

In the middle of the dinner, Bai Ke saw that the atmosphere was getting pretty heated, so he started to cheer:
"Let's let the director and producer Cheng say a few words to us!"

After saying that, he led the applause, and everyone followed suit, laughing and applauding.

Cheng Xi and Yi Xiaoxing glanced at each other, and Cheng Xi spoke first:
"Director, why don't you go first? I'm a little scared of this kind of occasion. Please set an example for me."

Yi Xiaoxing smiled and nodded, then raised his fist to his lips and coughed twice, his demeanor worthy of someone from a state-owned enterprise. When everyone's attention was drawn to him, he spoke:
"Producer Cheng asked me to speak first, so I'll just briefly say a few things."

"First of all, I want to express my special thanks to everyone for making Wan Wan a success during our most difficult times. Everyone has endured a lot of hardships, and I see it all. Let's work together more in the future!"

"Secondly, when I was filming, my temper inevitably got a little off, and I'm sure I said some things you didn't like. I apologize to everyone here. I was really anxious at the time! I was so broke, I was worried every day about where I was going to get the money tomorrow!"

When talking about having no money, everyone burst into laughter and felt the same way.

If it doesn't work, maybe this sentence will be bitter.

"Finally, I want to thank producer Cheng Xicheng. Without him, I wouldn't be filming. Without him, there would be no 'Wan Wan'! Let's all raise a toast to producer Cheng!"

As he spoke, he took the lead in raising his glass towards Cheng Xi, and everyone shouted in unison:

“Thank you, Producer Cheng!”

Cheng Xi looked at everyone, feeling quite touched. Without saying anything, he drank the wine in his glass.

"Director Yi, you're being too kind. 'Wan Wan' is the hard work of every one of us here. Our crew is a little broke, but everyone is able to deliver. For that, I thank you all!"

"You are all my seniors, and many of them are helping me on a semi-voluntary basis. I am very aware of this and I am very touched."

"Looking back on those tough times, when I worried about money every day, I didn't feel it was hard. I was happy working with you all! I sincerely thank you for accompanying me through the most difficult journey."

"Especially Director Yi, you trusted a young boy like me and helped me build this crew. Thank you, Director Yi!"

After saying this, Yi Xiaoxing and the crew members burst into laughter, and Yi Xiaoxing even came up and gave Cheng Xi a hug.

"Finally, thank you can't just be expressed with words. Director Yi and I have specially prepared a small red envelope for everyone to express our gratitude!"

After Cheng Xi finished speaking, he took out a stack of red envelopes that he had prepared long ago from the bag beside him and handed half of them to Yi Xiaoxing.

Then the two of them handed a red envelope to each member of the crew in turn, and Cheng Xi also said thank you to each person!
When everyone in the crew saw the red envelopes, and that the so-called "small red envelopes" were actually a thick stack, they felt valued.

They all laughed and shouted: The boss is generous!

Cheng Xi prepared 1 yuan for everyone and treated everyone equally.

Lian Baizhongchun is also involved.

After the dinner, a second party was arranged for everyone. Those who wanted to go could attend, and those who didn’t want to could go home first.

It can be said that everyone returned from this gathering with great joy and gained a lot!
"Brother, are we still going to stroll around the campus later?"

Reba also drank some red wine tonight, her face flushed, and she asked with her head leaning on Cheng Xi's arm.

At this time, Cheng Xi and Reba were both sitting in the KTV. Reba curled herself up in the corner of the sofa.

It can be seen that she actually doesn't like this kind of purely social karaoke occasion.

"Slide, I can't sleep if I don't slide."

"But first, sing a duet with me. I want to hear you sing."

Cheng Xi said softly and gently.

"Then how about we sing Xu Song's bare face?"

Cheng Xi smiled. It turned out that the top star Reba also liked to listen to Xu Song's songs. Their temperaments were really a bit mismatched.

"Okay, after singing, I'll take you away~"

So Cheng Xi sang a song of Xu Song's bare face with Reba in everyone's envious eyes.

After singing, the two returned to the academy.

Beside the Xiaoyue River, Reba didn't know whether it was because she was drunk.

She took off her high heels and started dancing by the river.

The water ripples, the moonlight is faint, the beauty is shy, and her jade feet sway gently.

When the evening wind blew up her fluttering skirt, Cheng Xi hoped:

Time can stop forever.
