Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 51: Filming Completed, Banished to the Cold Palace
"Ah!"

On the set, Lu Jiang sneezed violently.

Which grandson is teasing me!

Lao Lu on the phone asked concernedly, "What's wrong, son? Do you have a cold?"

Gao Yuanyuan, who was standing by, quickly searched for tissues.

I wanted to help wipe it, but Lu Jiang didn't let me. He took the tissue, thanked me, and continued to make a phone call:
"It's okay, don't worry, just keep talking, what's the situation over there?"

“Things are going well”

Lao Lu reported about the light.

On May 5, which was last night, the sample of "China Entertainment Report" met the press for the first time at the Media Center.

The sample film includes programs such as the crew of "My Fair Princess", special interviews with Lu Jiang's new album, and Chen Kaige's "The Emperor and the Assassin" once again aiming for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

The program content is novel and light-hearted, the on-site reporting perspective is unique, and the consultation is fresh and hot.

It quickly gained high recognition from the guests on site.

According to Lao Lu, after a whole day of negotiations today.

There were 26 TV channels that signed contracts with the first issue of "China Entertainment Report".

Starting from June 6th, there will be three issues per week, with each issue having a 25-minute prime time period.

As a shareholder of Guangxian, the Lao Lu family has also contributed a lot.

Earlier, when Lu Jiang was signing books in various places, he established some relationships with various TV stations.

This time, Lao Lu contacted all parties on behalf of Lu Jiang.

Ultimately, it contributed to the signing of 7 TV stations.

The most important of these is Anhui Satellite TV.

All in all, the Lao Lu family holds 34%, so this contribution is well worth the shares.

In fact, there is no need for Lao Lu to do this.

As an angel investor, you pay the money, get the shares, and then just talk and be a hands-off boss.

But Lao Lu couldn't sit still, he felt that this was his career and he had to fight together.
Lu Jiang didn't stop him. It wasn't a bad thing anyway.

Wang Changtian was very happy about this and also grateful.

But everyone knows that this is just the beginning.

After the show is broadcast, the ratings performance will be another major hurdle.

Ratings involve advertising revenue.

Temporary advertising is not considered a stable income.

The bulk of the revenue from this type of advertising goes to TV stations.

If we can attract advertisers who will exclusively sponsor the program, then this public opinion platform will be able to truly gain a foothold in the domestic entertainment industry.

This will also require higher ratings.

Therefore, we still have to stay on our toes and do the show well in the next few months, and when it comes to the show, Lu Jiang definitely cannot be avoided.

"I understand. If you are free today, you can come over. I am available for interviews."

"Okay, I'll inform them. I have a drinking party later, so I'll hang up first."

"Don't show off at the table. You're already old."

"I get annoyed when you talk about this. How come our Lao Lu family's drinking capacity is inherited from the previous generation? It's so unfair."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jiang continued to work on the filming.

The lighting department also arrived at the scene quickly and started collecting materials directly.

After more than half a month of rehearsal.

The filming plan has already entered the start-up recording stage.

Recorded it several times.

Apart from some minor insignificant issues occasionally, there have been no major problems overall. This is why Lu Jiang agreed to allow Guang to enter the scene for an interview.

The next day, the last day of recording of "Not Drunk" began.

After three attempts, the final result was very good.

After entering the loop, the light and shadow effects under the lens already have a good film texture. The loop is bizarre, weird and thrilling. After exiting the loop, the sky is bright and the scene is suddenly clear, which makes people breathe a sigh of relief.

In the words of Situ Zhaodun, the film's technical effects alone are enough to compete for the final Venice Short Film Award.

But he then changed the subject: "But it's still a little short of the ideal optimal effect."

"I know. I'm just about to get drunk, right, Teacher Situ?"

Lu Jiang’s own performance is pretty good now, and he drank real alcohol while performing, but he was not drunk.

The rest of the people didn't even drink alcohol for fear of affecting the filming process.

So although it looks good overall, if you look closely, you can still see that everyone is on edge and striving for zero mistakes, which seems a bit deliberate.

For this reason, it is indeed necessary to increase the stimulation of alcohol.

Under the stimulation of alcohol, some unconscious mistakes may become the finishing touch.

Situ Zhaodun was very satisfied with Lu Jiang's answer: "Yes, not only you, but everyone else who needs to drink should also get a little tipsy to see the effect."

Zhang Jingchu immediately asked, "But if you get drunk, you can only shoot once for the rest of the day."

Li Chao also expressed his concern: "Today is already the 13th. If the results are not good, we will have to use up post-production time to continue filming. Is this really okay?"

Only Gao Yuanyuan was concerned about Lu Jiang: "Drinking will affect Lu Jiang's throat."

Situ Zhaodun said with a smile: "I said, the current version is actually good enough, but if you want to be perfect, it's best to challenge it again. Of course, the specific choice is still up to you, Lu Jiang." Lu Jiang made the decision without hesitation: "Let's shoot it first, what do you think?"

The director has spoken, so what else can the actors say?

“We’re OK”

Everyone expressed their opinions, Deng Chao was the most excited, and even asked if he could drink the XO on the table.

Of course you can drink it, it’s not real alcohol, you can just drink it.

But Ning Hao raised his hand at this time.

Situ Zhaodun's eyes locked onto Ning Hao: "Oh, what do you think, Mr. Ning?"

"No, I don't mean to object. I just want to ask Lu Jiang if you are drunk?"

Lu Jiang made a modest gesture and said, "I can still get drunk, it's just that the amount I drink is a little bit larger than that of ordinary people."

Half an hour later, Lu Jiang slowly drank three kilograms of liquor and finally got 6% drunk for the first time since his time travel.

Everyone was filled with shock and envy.

Li Chao laughed and said, "Why else do you think he suddenly wrote a song about drinking and named it 'Not Drunk'?"

While drunk, the most perfect performance in more than 20 days was finally completed.

"Not Drunk" also officially wrapped up filming at 5 p.m. on May 13.

The next morning.

Lu Jiang woke up in his hotel bed with a terrible headache.

The memories of last night are slowly piecing together.

I only remember the bright lights and feasting.

Everyone went crazy at the wrap party.

There were people crying and laughing, and everyone was urging people to drink. It was so lively.

Also.

Over twenty days, there were more than a hundred rehearsals in total, and more than a hundred people worked together. During this period, there were conflicts, disputes, and various problems, which were solved one by one, and finally the ideal work was completed together.

Everyone has developed a comrade-like relationship.

So when you say goodbye at the wrap party, you still want to act cool and act like a stranger?

impossible.

So this wrap-up party was particularly lively, and even Lu Jiang, who was a big drinker, was completely drunk.

After getting drunk, he remembered that it was Ning Hao who sent him back to the hotel.

Gao Yuanyuan followed behind.
As I thought of this, I heard the sound of flushing in the bathroom, and through the glass, I vaguely saw a beautiful figure.

Lu Jiang was startled and immediately lifted the quilt to look down at his lower body.

Sure enough, the pants were gone.

But something didn’t feel right last night. What happened?

"Are you awake?"

At this time, Zhang Jingchu walked out of the bathroom naked.

It turned out to be her.

Without waiting for any further thought, Zhang Jingchu leaned in and took a sip of his lips: "I have to go. It's getting late."

"it is good."

"By the way, I saved you from a disaster last night. You have to repay me next time."

"A calamity?"

"That Gao Yuanyuan."

Zhang Jingchu curled her lips, "Even a ghost can see that she is interested in you, but I know you don't want to be in a relationship, so I blocked it for you last night."

Fuck, you underestimate me too much.

Zhang Jingchu then complained, "This girl is too shameless and not brave enough. You said you chased her all the way to the set, why didn't you be a little bolder last night? We sent you to bed and pushed Ning Hao out directly. Once the door was closed, could we still break it down? But she insisted on wiping your face and feet with the door open, wasting a good opportunity."

"How did you get her out?"

"I just asked if you were taking advantage of someone, and she left on her own accord. Well, that's why I say she's not thick-skinned enough."

As she spoke, Zhang Jingchu looked at Lu Jiang, "Why, do you regret it and want to blame me?"

"There's no point in regretting it. You've already succeeded."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have kept her here and let you sleep with her."

Zhang Jingchu curled her lips immediately, her eyes gloating. "But seriously, I don't think that girl will give up so easily. If you really don't want to be in a relationship, you better be more cautious in the future."

"I know what you mean. I'll talk to you even if I have to. Okay?"

"Pooh!"

Zhang Jingchu finished speaking, put on her clothes, smoothed her hair, and waved goodbye, "I'm leaving. See you later."

"Well, see you later."

As soon as Zhang Jingchu left, Gao Yuanyuan's text message came.

"are you awake?"

Lu Jiang took a look and threw the phone away.

Even if I give you a chance, you won't be able to use it.

Still want to get full marks when customers return to visit?
Banished to the cold palace, wait!
