Chapter 6 New Year's Eve
East Asian culture always carries some Confucian traditional ideas in its core.
Even if we advocate proletarianism and atheism, in terms of ethics, we are more interested in the most traditional education.
During festivals, we pay attention to reunion.
Xu Hui also wanted to go home to reunite with his parents when the whole country was in a state of joy, but it was not possible, and he needed to edit the movie.
New Year’s Eve 2009.
After Xu Hui called his home, he returned to the editing room again.
It’s also a sad thought. A director, a national idol has to be busy with work during the Chinese New Year!
He had to stare at the later stage of "Those Years". The editing, special effects, synthesis and dubbing of the entire movie will take within two months.
Then submit the approval and pass the next step of publicity and screening work.
Fortunately, the construction period of "Those Years" is enough, and the rough cut part has been almost done, so I am busy with fine cut now.
Editing is a very tedious task. The editor is very important for the entire movie. If you shoot so many scenes every day, you must arrange them in advance according to the direction of the plot. The arrangement is the most basic rough cutting.
Xu Hui Studio attaches great importance to the late-stage talents of these film and television dramas, and gives them very high salaries. Of course, their workload is also very large.
They are usually busy editing variety shows produced by editing companies or co-produced by their products, and the editing of movies is more cumbersome than variety shows.
Xu Hui is the one who knows the movie "Those Years" best. Even though he explained his style and direction, he was still worried, so he couldn't walk away when editing.
It was not realistic to have a vacation for himself. Even if he really went home, he probably couldn't stay there.
"Okay, brothers, go home first, we won't be in a hurry."
It was five o'clock in the afternoon. Xu Hui looked at the entire editing room, except for his own thoughts, and he was also concerned about the movie. The other people probably thought about going home, so they simply let the group leave.
Most of the people engaged in editing in China were from state-owned projection units before. The talents dug by Xu Hui Studio accounted for a large proportion of the original Qing Film Studio, and these people were BJ locals.
"Happy New Year, Director!"
...
The editing room was soon empty, and Xu Hui was not in the mood to work.
So I went out and bought something.
Fortunately, there is a supermarket open.
After buying something to fill your stomach, Xu Hui returned to the hotel.
Anyway, if you don’t have the heart to work, it’s better to have a good vacation and just take a day off.
Pour a glass of red wine and took out a few bags of snacks. Xu Hui took out his cell phone to prepare to reply to the text message.
After spending a year in the film industry, Xu Hui finally had some preliminary connections, most of whom were big shots or actresses from film and television companies.
Sometimes, Xu Huiting is proud of himself, whether in his past or present life.
Originally, I achieved a little success at the age of 30. The first independently directed movie made a big hit when no one was optimistic about it and became a new generation of "genius" director. Although I knew that it was luck, luck was also part of my strength.
In this life, at the age of twenty-four, he became a guest of honor for a group of big shots in the film and television industry.
To be honest, if he had the talent for business, maybe the richest man in the future might have the surname Xu.
After taking a sip of red wine, Xu Hui opened his notebook and looked at his work plan this year.
After "Those Years" was released, if the box office results reached ideal, he would direct the first part of the "Huang Feihong" series. After all, I don't know if the martial arts films from the 1990s are now attractive.
And without Li Lianjie, no one knows whether the audience will approve it.
To put it bluntly, Xu Hui is currently the kind of commercial film director with box office.
In order for the film to make a profit and for the greatest publicity effect that can be achieved before the film is screened, he can do anything, provided that it is within the scope permitted by law.
This shameless spirit is also one of the reasons why he is popular among producers.
The first part of the "Huang Feihong" series, his planned shooting cycle is three months, and it is guaranteed to be released during the National Day or New Year holiday.
Then, it's gone.
A movie a year is a normal workload for a director, and Xu Hui did not want to be a workaholic.
Work is important, and enjoying life is equally important.
The company's general strategy has been decided, the variety show part cooperates with TV stations, and the TV series part cooperates with experienced large companies.
Xu Hui and Huang Wen both knew very well that although the studio is very good at present, it is just a new type of company. Moreover, Huayi still occupies the share capital, so there is no need to insist on producing independently.
Close the notebook and Xu Hui turned on the TV.
The Spring Festival Gala is not here yet, and the motherland is playing to welcome the Spring Festival.
Very boring.
...
I miss my family more during the holidays, this is true.
To be honest, Xu Hui has almost forgotten many things in the original time and space. After all, it has been a long time, and there is nothing particularly worth remembering.
He had a bad relationship with his parents. When they were three years old, they divorced and no one wanted his scoundrel. He simply belonged to his grandmother. This is also the biggest reason why he did not believe in love completely in human nature.
Many years ago, Xu Hui had a serious relationship several times, but unfortunately, most of them ended in tragedy.
Thoughts flew for more than an hour, and Xu Hui returned to reality.
Zhu Jun and Dong Qin's faces appeared on the small screen.
The Spring Festival Gala has begun.
Although the Spring Festival Gala in 2009 was criticized in various ways, there were at least Uncle Benshan who was worth looking forward to.
Unlike the following few sessions, there was no finale.
Uncle Benshan has all kinds of problems, and has even been reported to be involved in gangs, with three thousand kilograms of gold at home, immigrants, discrimination against fat people, and other problems.
But he is still the leader in the domestic sketch industry.
After passing Shanhaiguan, no one knows Zhao Benshan, it’s just a saying!
Even Wong Kar-wai had to find Zhao Benshan to make a guest appearance when filming "The Grandmaster", otherwise his movie would not be sold in Northeast China.
As for Xiao Shenyang, he can only say that he has taken the light of the Spring Festival Gala.
More than half of the people in China learned about this capable man through the Spring Festival Gala, and his humble temperament really fits the public's vulgar aesthetics.
So, he became popular!
It’s like Zhou Libo, without the intervention of the TV station, he is just a folk artist and without Shanghai TV. No matter how awesome Zhou Libo is, he can only be a little famous in the Shanghai circle.
With the media's promotional intervention, a person's reputation can certainly be infinitely amplified. Unfortunately, the audience is always picky about artists. There is nothing new, and just eating old money can no longer meet the needs of the public.
Therefore, Xiao Shenyang and Zhou Libo were only popular for a while.
But Guo Degang has been popular until now.
The same is true for directors. Brother Chen Kai won the Palme d'Or that year, and he was definitely the number one director in China, and he had an unprecedented achievement.
Then, "Jing Ke assassinate the King of Qin", "Butterfly Dance in the World", and "Wuji", one by one, makes people speechless, and one by one, worse than the other.
Even if "Mei Lanfang" mobilized such a large amount of resources, it was still a mediocre work. As for "The Taoist Down the Mountain", it was directly rated as a bad movie.
That's why people suspect that "Farewell My Concubine" was filmed by his father.
Director Chen was very angry and showed the original scene record...
Of course we believe that Brother Chen Kai was once very talented, but now he is becoming more mediocre, which is an indisputable fact.
If Director Chen could produce a work that is no less than "Farewell My Concubine" or a movie that is comparable to that classic, I think these rumors would definitely be self-defeating!
The bell rang at twelve o'clock, and Xu Hui came to the balcony and looked up. Countless bright fireworks floated above the city of BJ, accompanied by the "mountain dan flowers blooming in Xiao Shenyang in the house...'
Chapter completed!
