Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 119 What, she’s going to give birth?
You need insurance if necessary.

It would be a pity to lose such a good record.

Follow the Goldfinger rules.

Music videos and TV dramas will disappear if they are not completed within the time limit.

For movies, the standard is "completion of filming".

"You" was completed just within the deadline.

So the work icon still exists, and as long as you get another purple work, you can synthesize it into a gold one.

It just means that Lao Lu doesn’t want to synthesize it like this at the moment.

He currently has two golden boxes as spares.

But it cannot be opened so early, because if the golden works produced after opening are the same as "Game of Thrones", it will not be a pity to throw them away.

But if some good works come out, the result will be picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

So Lu Jiang decided to wait and see how "you" would develop freely first.

It would be best if the situation is good.

But if the song's performance is greatly affected because the singer is Asian, then he will open a golden box.

If the box contains "garbage", then Lu would naturally go to the Grammy Awards or something like that.

After making up his mind and hanging up the phone, Lu Jiang looked at the treasure chest and work in his hand.

There are currently four works that have been opened and four treasure chests, two gold, one purple and one green.

Skip the work and go straight to the treasure chest.

The two gold ones were synthesized before.

The purple one was dropped after Dong Xuan signed the contract a few days ago.

The green one comes from Zhou Jianhui just now.

Lu Jiang decided to open only the green one first and keep the rest as backup.

Then a thought came to my mind.

After a burst of green light, Tao Zhe's "Marry Me Today" appeared before my eyes.

Take a closer look at the song and follow the Gold Finger introduction.

The arrangement of this song is very interesting, sampled from many old songs. The author Tao Zhe said that this song also has some irony?
Is there?

Lu Jiang didn’t think so.

He just felt that this song was prepared for the wedding.

However, Lu Jiang said that he had taken note of it and could use it if he encountered the "central idea" of an interview in the future.

As for now, it really came at the perfect time.

When I was planning the wedding scene, I was thinking about whether I should come up with a song to suit the occasion.

He also thought of the song "Marry Me Today", but it was indeed a bit difficult because it involved restoration.

In addition, the songs from "Full House" in Gold Finger are all original Korean versions.

After the Chinese translation, there is no problem with the music, but the lyrics are more or less not in line with the original version, so that in Lu Jiang's opinion, the overall quality of the theme songs cannot be as perfect as the original version.

Now that we have this song, we can use it directly as an episode in "Full House".

Just the theme song of a drama
Just put it in the last episode.

It is also included in the new special.

This makes the new album quite full.

Four "showy" songs, "Love Is Not a Choice" from Meteor Garden, and a few selections of the theme songs from "Full House".

The remaining female theme songs can be used to make a separate "Full House" OST album, which includes all the songs in the drama.

A personal album and an OST album, and when the drama is released, it will make two waves of money.
"Director, this side is ready."

At this time, the staff reminded him, and Lu Jiang nodded, "Okay, I'm coming."

Then the filming continued.

When we arrived at the press conference, dozens of reporters were already in place.

Lu Jiang greeted everyone with a smile: "Did you enjoy the performance just now?"

A few familiar reporters laughed and said, "No, I didn't show my acting skills at all!"

Lu Jiang also said: "Then it's your turn to speak your lines. If you make a mistake, your red envelope will be confiscated!"

"I don't want a red envelope, can you give me a few more shots?"

Soon a reporter interrupted, prompting the other reporters to grumble, "You wish."

Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was very good.

The good king in the eyes of reporters is the real good king.

Lu Jiang understood this principle.

Therefore, he has always attached great importance to maintaining relationships with reporters.

Now it seems that the effect is indeed very good.

Then we made some adjustments and rehearsed a few times before starting filming.

The final scene is very simple.

Lu Jiang appeared alone.

The reporter asked: "Many film critics said you gave the best performance this time. What do you think?"

Jiang Chen: "I have to thank my friends who have always been by my side and helped me"

Drop drop drop.

At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang.

The protagonist answered the call, and soon showed great surprise on her face: "What, she's going to give birth? Okay, I'll come right over!!"

The protagonist didn't care about anything anymore and just left the scene amid the stunned expressions of the reporters.

This scene has also been adapted. In the main film, there will be another scene where the male and female protagonists take their child for a walk on the beach two years later.

But now, this is the final scene.

After three takes, "Full House" was officially completed.

The reporters at the scene applauded loudly, congratulating Lu Jiang on the completion of his new drama and celebrating the successful completion of his first film experience.

Next, Lu Jiang returned to the stage, and Fan Binbin and others also came on stage one by one to start the normal wrap-up press conference.

"What do you think of finishing the film? I just want to have a good sleep."

"Of course there's a lot of pressure, after all, the whole of Asia is watching, but I'm much more confident now than before filming started. Half of the series has already been edited, and I believe the audience will love this drama."

"Can it surpass Meteor Garden? I still say that Meteor Garden is irreplaceable, so don't compare it to others."

"Why did you invite Teacher Li Mingqi? Because Teacher Li is very cute, don't you think? You'll know after the show airs."

Reporters from many countries asked questions one after another, with various languages ​​flying around. I closed my eyes and listened. The scene was very international.

The entire wrap-up press conference lasted more than two hours, and after it ended, all the actors were thirsty.

But everyone's expression was very calm.

Isn't it normal that a drama that is watched by the whole of Asia?

Fan Binbin has even begun to imagine when the reporters in the audience will be replaced by Europeans and Americans.
Only those reporters who attended the press conference for the first time today were still feeling emotional long after the conference ended.

I participated in the filming, witnessed the actors' performances, and Lu Jiang's direction of the crew. Finally, I saw a press conference that was exactly the same as the one at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

What I saw and heard this day is too much to write about.
The next day, all media outlets were filled with news about the completion of "Full House."

There are various reporting angles.

Some people wrote about their thoughts on participating in the final scene.

The article thanked Lu Jiang for providing the rare opportunity, allowing the reporters to witness the real operation of a film crew with their own eyes.

Then he praised Lu Jiang for his strong aura on the set, his ability to direct the crew with ease, and his seamless transition between the roles of director and lead actor.
There are also those who start from the actors.

What kind of sparks will be created when Jinsuo meets Rong Mama again?
Who is Qiao Zhenyu's "bride"?

Lu Jiang and Fan Binbin's second wedding turned out to be like this!

There are also perspectives from journalists from various countries.

Thai reporters said: Lu Jiang is a national idol in Thailand!

Malaysian reporters asked for autographs on the spot.

The beautiful journalists from the Philippines: came specifically for Lu Jiang.

The Korean reporter directly called Lu Jiang "Oppa" and his enthusiastic attitude caused the women at the scene to roll their eyes.
And also in terms of music.

Lu Jiang has written several theme songs for the new drama, which will be released along with the new album.
The entry points of various news are very eye-catching.

Obviously, those reporters were really happy yesterday.

At the same time, it also made readers and netizens from all over the world feel itchy.

Countless people are asking when it will be broadcast.

But no one can give an accurate answer for the time being, it's all just a matter of guesswork.

After reading the news, Lu Jiang expressed his satisfaction and continued to sleep. After a good day of sleep, he returned to work again the next day.

The first is issuance-related business.

Although the mainland has already decided to broadcast it on four channels.

But the specific issuance matters still need to be discussed.

The selling price of the series, profit sharing during advertising time periods, joint promotion and marketing plans, etc.

In addition to those in the mainland, we also need to discuss those in other regions such as Macau.

Fortunately, "Full House" has completed the production of the first 8 episodes.

So on that day, relevant persons in charge from four mainland TV stations, one Macau TV station, three Southeast Asian TV stations, and nine East Asian and Southeast Asian TV stations that were interested in purchasing the series gathered at Dawn Films.

At Dawn, Lu Jiang was in charge, bringing people from the distribution department to handle the matter, while Fan Binbin was in attendance.

As the female lead, Fan Binbin is involved in many publicity and promotion matters.

At the same time, as Lu Jiang's quasi-good wife, she also has to start getting involved in and learning related business.

In addition, a leader from Xiamen Culture and Tourism and a leader from Radio, Film and Television were also present.

Then start watching the movie.
Two days later, the preliminary release plan for "Full House" was finalized.

Four mainland TV stations jointly won the first round of broadcasting rights at a base price of 160 million per episode.

At the same time, Dawn also received half of the profits from the first 1-minute inter-episode advertising period at the beginning of the four rounds.

Variety shows and interviews from various channels are also booked in advance, which also saves a lot of money on the promotion of the series.

This also involves a bet-against-the-odds clause.

The total market share is set in a tiered manner. The better the performance, the more profit you will get from the first-round single-episode price and advertising time slots.

If it replicates the success of "Meteor Garden", Dawn can get a maximum unit price of 500 million per episode and a 7% profit share from all the advertising time between episodes, as well as a 40% profit share from the one-minute advertising time before the show starts.

However, Lu Jiang thinks it is unlikely. "Meteor Garden" is a bit too incredible. He made the highest ratings higher than "Return of the Condor Heroes 2".

But even the initial guarantee conditions are already very good.

It is calculated that at least 3840 million can be recovered from the sale of the drama alone, which is more than double the profit. Add to that the advertising revenue, and the profit can be guaranteed to be doubled even if the ratings are bad.

Of course, if the ratings are poor, although there is a bottom line guarantee, it will probably be difficult to collaborate on new dramas in the future.

However, Lu Jiang thinks this is more difficult than surpassing "Meteor Garden"
After discussing the distribution, there are only a few final things left for "Full House".

The remaining matters include post-production, review, OST album production, anti-theft, and advertising investment.

At present, various departments with clear division of labor have been established within Dawn Films, and these behind-the-scenes work will be carried out in an orderly manner.

Lu Jiang just needs to sit back and take charge.

The remaining time is spent on training.

Attending business activities, recording songs, practicing martial arts, speaking English, etc.

I don't know how many centuries ago this salty fish life was.
