China Entertainment Times

Chapter 77 What's the situation?
Amid the cheers, the crew quickly packed up the scene and put all the equipment and props back into the warehouse.

Zhao Lei took two people to take inventory, and the rest came to the hotel near the film and television base.

There is a kick-off banquet for the start-up, and there will naturally be a finale banquet for the finale.

Tang An sat in the box with the actors, producers, and team leaders, and directly set up a big table, which was just enough for the 20th person.

Zhao Lei was still leading people to take inventory, so the banquet was suspended, and everyone sat together and chatted casually.

The atmosphere in the hall outside the door was also very lively. Although it was not like the half-year shooting cycle of some blockbuster films, the intense shooting of one and a half months was indeed tiring enough.

Now the tight string in my head can finally be loosened.

In the big box, Tang An accepted everyone's flattery with a smile.

Not long after Zhao Lei finished his work, he also came.

"Then let them serve the food. Everyone has a rest early after eating. You have worked hard for more than a month!"

Tang An opened a bottle of white wine, poured himself a glass, raised his glass and looked around, and said sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work during this period of time. It took me more than one and a half months to complete the second movie of my life. , don’t talk nonsense, it’s all in the wine!”

After all, Tang An drank it all in one gulp!

"Director Tang is too polite!"

"This is what we should do!"

"It's still Director Tang's leadership, otherwise it wouldn't be so smooth!"

"Director Tang is so bold, let's do it too!"

Everyone quickly filled themselves up and drank a cup one after another.

"I have seen everyone's hard work during this time!"

As Tang An spoke, she nodded at Xu Manyun, and she immediately took out stacks of red envelopes from her bag and handed them to Tang An.

"This is my wish. There is not much money, so let's all work together!"

One person took a red envelope, and the insides were all the same thickness.

"After the movie is released, if the box office is okay, I will definitely give everyone a bigger red envelope!"

"Thank you Director Tang!"

"Director Tang is too polite!"

After working hard for a month, I got the salary I deserved, and I also made some extra money. I got a red envelope and a bonus after that.

Tang An's words immediately made them forget all the dissatisfaction they had before.

Money, that's how fucked it is!

The people who got the money were even more happy, and it was so lively to promote the cup and help the cup.

Tang An looked at Xu Jinglei and asked, "Old Xu, this film is finished, do you have any plans for the future?"

Xu Jinglei smiled and nodded, "I have an idea!"

"Oh, are you planning to continue working as a director?"

"After watching your two movies, I also want to make a movie with a female protagonist."

"Revisiting The Godfather some time ago, I thought of Wu Zetian, and I planned to make a "Female Godfather", telling the story of Wu Zetian's step-by-step climb to the pinnacle of power!" Xu Jinglei explained.

this film?

Tang An didn't realize it for a while, the movie about Wu Zetian in his memory had to wait for the one played by Fan Binbin more than 10 years later, when would another one come out.

But Tang An suddenly remembered that Xu Jinglei had a project shelved in the past two years, it seemed to be called "Life in the Palace", could it be this one?

"It's a bit difficult to shoot a costume film, and where do you go to find a suitable actor?" Tang An asked immediately.

"I plan to play the role myself, what do you think?" Xu Jinglei smiled.

"Then are you still busy here? This kind of costume blockbuster is not that simple, there are too many things!"

Tang An shook her head. There was a reason why this project was shelved. With Xu Jinglei's current director level, it is obviously not enough to direct and act in a blockbuster costume movie.

Then I heard Xu Jinglei talk about the general idea. Li Shimin corresponds to the old godfather, and died after conquering a country.

Li Zhi is the eldest son and the legal heir, but he voluntarily gave up his rights because of his gentle and kind personality.

Wu Zetian corresponds to the godfather's youngest son, the farthest from the center of power, but has become the target of public criticism.

Good idea and sounds interesting.

But if you shoot like this, unless the acting skills of the three leading actors are beyond the charts, otherwise it won't be able to support the whole movie at all.

Tang An didn't hit him either, anyway, he would shelve it later for various reasons.

However, Lu Yi, Deng Chao and the others listened with great interest, obviously they were still very interested in the female godfather.

"Old Xu, you are going to be the Al Pasiro of China!" Lu Yi sighed.

We are still filming together today, and in a blink of an eye people are talking about being a director and making a movie, it's really incomparable.

"Then who should I ask to play the godfather?"

"I think Uncle Daoming is very suitable, his temperament is more tasteful than Marlon Brando!" Sun Li interjected.

After the wrap-up banquet, everyone drank some wine, and there was no other activity. They went back to their rooms and went to rest.

After taking a shower, the drunkenness dissipated a little, and I felt much better.

Tomorrow, the film will be sent to the base for processing. After the film comes out, the telecine transfer will be done and the post-production work will begin.

When he first wore it back, Tang An thought that this era was still using the original method of editing, cutting the film with scissors, sticking them together with tape or glue, and watching the effect of editing on the editing table.If there is a problem, cut it, glue it on, and repeat it over and over again.

After all, Tang An is also a wild person, and he doesn't know much about the development of film history. Originally, he was still working as a low-level handyman on the set at this time.

It was only later that I realized that in this era, film can be turned into telecine and then edited on a computer.

In the early morning of the next day, Tang An went to the studio to have a look, and it was almost packed. He told Zhao Lei to hand over the equipment and the base, and send all the boxes of films to the base for printing.

Xu Jinglei told Tang An to leave, and also left the base.

Lu Yi, Deng Chao and the others packed up their things and left. Before leaving, they also expressed their desire to continue to cooperate.

Even if the crew is disbanded, it is basically difficult to reunite unless there is a need to make up some shots later.

After feeling overwhelmed, Tang An left the base, planning to go to China Film Group to discuss distribution and publicity matters.

However, as soon as he walked to the gate of the base, a group of reporters rushed towards him in front of him, and they just bumped into him.

"It's Tang An!"

Someone shouted, and the reporters immediately quickened their pace and hula to surround them.

what's the situation?
What are you looking for me for?

I'm fine!

"Director Tang, Lu Chuan said yesterday that you will encounter Waterloo this summer, and the film will not even cover the cost. What do you think?"

"Facing the attack of blockbuster films at home and abroad this summer, do you think you can create miracles again?"

"Director Xu Ke said in an interview that "Seven Swords" will definitely win the championship of this year's summer film, and the box office will exceed [-] million. Do you think "Horror Cruise" can compete!"

"Xu Ke said that "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is the biggest opponent of "Seven Swords". He even praised "Initial D" and did not mention "Horror Cruise" at all."

Listening to their random questioning, Tang An finally understood what happened.
