Chapter 20 Killing Banquet

After the filming of the movie is completed, the actors can take a break for the time being, but Wang Meng, as the director, can't stop for a moment.

Due to the trust of Director Lu of the Director Department, he went to see it on the third day of filming and ignored it after leaving the scene. This is full trust in Wang Meng, and I also know that the directors don’t like a producer who makes mistakes.

Therefore, Wang Meng was both emotional and stressed, so he could only do his best to shoot this video well.

The dinner will be completed tonight, and the work side during the day will be the finale.

It includes returning cars sponsored by Volkswagen, returning cameras rented by Shang Opera, etc. As for props, there are not many. The props in this movie are all part-time jobs by Zhang Lantian, including craftsmanship, stone axes, calligraphy and paintings, etc.

Movies are not like TV series. The film of a movie requires rinsing and copying, then transferring to disk and editing, that is, glue to magnetic.

The reason why filming movies is used for picture quality is that the big screen is not a small screen on TV.

Originally, Wang Meng's idea was to shoot DV, but thanks to the director's support, it became a real movie.

Therefore, the film rinsing and copying work is first handed over to Shanghai Opera. As for the subsequent editing, dubbing, etc., Wang Meng needs to consider it.

…………

"Director Wang, our total expenditure is currently 634,500 yuan, and the remaining more than 100,000 yuan, besides the actor's salary, it can be said that we have no promotional expenses at all."

Wang Peng looked helpless and continued, "I originally wanted to hold a press conference for the finals. However, the press conference last time was not very useful, and I didn't do it. In this way, our publicity will trouble Director Lu again."

"Movies are just a burning money." Wang Meng sighed deeply and said, "That is to say, according to the producer's 20% commission, we need to have a box office of 4 million to recover the cost?"

Wang Peng thoughtfully said, "It can be said that. However, as a new director, even if there are big actors and Director Lu's face, I think the theater company and the publisher will only give us a 20% commission, and ordinary newcomers will get a 10% commission."

"I understand..." Wang Meng was a little helpless and said to Wang Peng again: "Promotion still needs to be promoted. I still have 200,000 yuan here, although it is not of great use! But at this time, there is no need to think about it."

This is the sponsorship Wang Meng’s parents have given to Wang Meng.

"Besides, I don't believe this movie has only 4 million box office."

Wang Meng was very confident, and Wang Peng did not hit him.

Instead, he said: "Of course, I believe in the quality of our videos! As long as the results are achieved, not to mention the box office! You can earn it back only by DVDs and other peripherals, and there are also TV channel broadcast fees, etc."

In fact, Wang Peng didn't say anything because he dared not think about it. - it was the overseas box office of the film. Even foreign filmmakers are interested in the movie and will pay for the adaptation rights.

"Believe in the quality of our videos! Go and check out the copy."

Just as he was about to leave, Wang Meng thought of something and said to Wang Peng: "How many people will be invited tonight's final banquet? At that time, several professors from Fudan contributed a lot to the script, so I need to invite it myself. After you finish your work, go to the hotel and arrange it first."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

...

My uncle-in-law who received the call said that she would definitely go. It happened that during the National Day holiday, several professors had time, and this video also had their efforts. She would not refuse such an invitation.

Moreover, Wang Meng also considered it because it involved his own future.

I have many classic movies from my previous life, and I need to learn to learn scientific knowledge. Wang Meng does not want to show that he is not human, and learn to stop whenever he has a degree.

Although Xiaogangpao in his previous life had written songs, novels, screenwriters, acting, and directors, they were all so awesome, and they had such capital.

How old is Wang Meng? He is 21 years old and a 20-year-old young man.

If humans are not everywhere, it will be passed. Learning to hide is the key to survival. No matter how fierce the animals are, they know the benefits of hiding and the role of camouflage. This is the universal law of this earth for billions of years.

Therefore, it is very useful to make friends with such a group of knowledgeable professors.

After inquiring about the residences of several professors, Wang Meng originally wanted to invite him in person. Zhou Changhe said that it was unnecessary, so he could handle the old guys and promised to be there tonight.

night.

The crew of nearly thirty people ordered three tables.

The starring actors, including the crew, were all present. Zhou Chang, his husband and wife and the two professors also arrived, Director Lu as the producer.

When the wine and food are ready, Director Lu spoke first:

"Although I'm a producer, I don't play much role, so what if we let our director say a few words first?"

Director Lu did not show off, but pushed Wang Meng to the stage.

Wang Meng was grateful. In fact, the old man played the greatest role in the film.

Since my rebirth, I have cared about my family and loved me, and have such kind mentors, as well as many like-minded elder brothers (Wang Peng, Zhang Lantian and others), and my classmates who can laugh and have fun, undoubtedly lucky.

Whether it is luck or should have been like this, the world is not that dark.

Always be grateful, but it can help others to be disenchanted from being disenchanted. Wang Meng stood up and said with a grateful attitude: "Actually, it is not what Director Lu said! If I don't say it, everyone understands that without Director Lu's support, there would be no such movie!! A kind and kind elder gave me this useless student? With such great support, I don't want to say anything. Director Lu, I'll give you a cup."

The so-called great kindness is not thanked, and Wang Meng's performance is like this at this moment. This action has also won secret praise from several experienced people, including Director Lu.

"Haha, after, after, Xiao Wang. I'm about to retire. I saw the young man with ideas giving some small help..." After saying this, everyone was still a little touched, but Director Lu suddenly joked again: "Everyone who knows me knows that I like to promote newcomers very much, haha..."

"Ha ha……"

A sentence pulled out the heavy picture just now, and everyone laughed.

After that, Wang Meng will continue:

"Next, I want to thank Teacher Pan, Teacher Zhao, Senior Sister Bingbing... for the starring actors, thank you for your trust, and thank you for tolerating my bad performance in the theater. I will respect you first."

Wang Meng added several leading actors, including three teachers from Shanghai Opera, to join them. As a director, it is not good to respect anyone alone. Besides, the director has the right to pull a lot of people with one stroke.

"I won't call you Director Wang anymore. This is not a crew. It's not good to call you Director Wang, haha..." Pan Hong, as the biggest wrist, spoke first.

Then he continued: "However, I don't agree with Xiao Wang's words just now. We are all actors, not just stars in the sense of the sense of the actors. What are actors? We must obey the crew and use sincerity in the play. I use my years of experience to tell you that your director is doing very well and is not worse than others..."

When Wang Meng heard this, she looked flattered and said that Teacher Pan had a too-win award.

But Li Bingbing said, "My junior brother, although I don't have experience with Teacher Pan! I absolutely agree with your directorial level. I used to think I was quite amazing, but compared to you who make progress every day, I am really jealous..."

What Li Bingbing said was half ridiculous and half serious.

In general, everyone is satisfied with Wang Meng's performance.

Next is the crew.

"Thank you, the teachers of the crew, you unsung heroes, and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate again."

"Director Wang can say hello if he needs to do it in the future..."

There are a few teachers who are not in theaters, but Zhang Lantian’s friends in society. They are all good at dancing. They are eloquent and have a lot of witty words for a while...

A few newcomers are real, knowing their positioning, and for a moment they are submissive.

However, Jiang Shuying gave him a blank look - holding a grudge.

Wang Meng didn't care, didn't he just touched it...

"Brother Peng, Brother Zhang, do I need to say something?"

As for Wang Peng and Zhang Lantian, Wang Meng smiled at the two of them. After all, the three of them have feelings and are like-minded.

Not only that, Wang Meng also wants to form his own team in the future. The two of them have been depressed and unsuccessful over the years. It can be said that this opportunity to restrain talents is a natural result.

"There is no need to be grateful, your cousin...?"

Wang Peng looked at Zhou Hui's family all night, including his uncle Zhou Changhe and aunt Lu Shu.

Wang Meng gave him a blank look and said disgustedly: "You can just go and inquire by yourself. Go aside, I'll go with Brother Zhang."

"Ha ha……"

It made Zhang Lantian laugh.

Finally, Wang Meng came to the side of several Fudan professors.

"Let's meet you. This is Professor Wu from Fudan University, Professor Liu, this is my uncle and professor of archaeology." Wang Meng introduced several people to the crew and said, "I want to thank you for your strong support here. You have provided scientific basis for this movie. Thank you..."

The crew was still very friendly to these professors and looked at the three of them with a smile.

"We can't do it, but the role we play is very small. The key is that Mengmeng's script is good, and we can be regarded as picking up people's wisdom." Zhou Changhe said.

"Ha ha……"

Suddenly, a deafening laughter broke out.

"Xiaohui, what's wrong?" Zhou Changhe looked puzzled.

Wang Meng looked bitter...

"Dad, don't call me Mengmeng, call me..." Zhou Hui was stunned. What's the name? Director of the nephew, Director of Xiao Wang...

Zhou Changhe understood and blushed when he looked at Wang Meng who was smiling bitterly.

"Haha... Wang Meng has made a fortune and always thought she was a child who never grew up. I am proud of his current achievements. He is a good director."

This is a good idea.

"good!……"

When everyone heard this, the elder's pride and the elder's expectations for the younger generation instantly wiped out the laughter just now. My uncle also saved the embarrassment.

In fact, Wang Meng was not angry or complained at all. He just felt that "Uh!" I don't know what to say, after all, is he an elder?

Tonight, Wang Meng came to this world and got drunk for the first time...
Chapter completed!
