0026 [King Road]

On the evening of April 4, the crew of "Waiting Alone" held a final banquet at Shengjing Hotel not far from Beijing Film Academy. Su Ya invited the crew, and all the staff of the crew and several major actors were invited. Originally, Wan Xiaohu's plan was to have a meal in Li Ji's pickled fish, but Su Ya felt that everyone was not paid, so she was really embarrassed not to invite another meal.

This is why the four-star Shengjing Hotel was booked.

The drama manager Liu Yang was responsible for arranging the banquet, while Wan Xiaohu and Li Xia took the time to reconcile with Su Ya.

In the dormitory of Beijing Electric, Li Xia combined one by one: "The food fee is 2,500 yuan, beverage fee, 380 yuan, oil fee, 8,200 yuan, DV camera rental fee and tape fee, a total of 45,600 yuan, film camera rental fee and film fee, a total of 39,400 yuan..."

"Abandoning the sponsorship of Agni Clothing, Xiali Automobile Company, and Left Bank Coffee Shop, the crew spent a total of 387,200 yuan. There is still a post-production editing fee, which is expected to be 40,000 yuan..."

"The total investment is 580,000 yuan."

Every turn was clearly recorded on paper. After calculating the accounts, he gave them to Su Ya for a look. Wan Xiaohu was looking at the tapes and films piled up on the bed. Five or six hundred thousand yuan was exchanged for such a bunch, which were all the original content of the movie, or most of them had no value.

DV photography will edit it on the computer, then turn it into magnetic glue, and use film to make the final chimeric editing. These tapes can only be used as original copies and stored in the Dandelion Company's warehouse.

Of course, Su Ya has no funds to buy an office or something for Dandelion Company, so these tapes can only be pulled into the warehouse of the Dandelion souvenir store.

"The accounts are correct." After Su Ya browsed, the crew's money was considered handed over.

Wan Xiaohu handed a copy of the finely packaged film to Su Ya: "Su Ya, put this copy on your car. Tomorrow you and Li Xia will go to Beijing Film Studio and spend some money to let the people from Beijing Film Studio accompany you to the Film Bureau for review. Try to allow the movie to pass the review within a week."

Su Ya took the copy: "You won't go?"

“I also need to do post-production editing.”

"What's going on in my hand? Your movie has not been edited yet. What should I take for review?"

Wan Xiaohu explained: "What you have is the first edition I edited a few days ago. The specific content is quite similar, but there is not such a fine edit. In order to complete the review before the film festival, I can only use this method. I will complete the film editing work in the next few days."

"Nothing will happen if this happens, right?" Su Ya was a little worried.

"It's okay, movies do this." Wan Xiaohu smiled and did not explain in depth.

The review of a movie is difficult, but it is actually quite easy. Many directors will edit a preliminary version in advance in order to attend some film festivals before the filming is completed. In this way, the movie can be completed and directly participated in the exhibition.

Sometimes, before the review has been completed, some movies have already participated in the film exhibition.

If you are caught, you will be fined a little money. The serious thing is that it is prohibited from being released in domestic theaters. As long as the content of the movie does not violate the bottom line, the Film Bureau will not pursue it too much. Otherwise, if you really want to pursue it, half of the Chinese directors will have to worry about it.

Wan Xiaohu didn't plan to go on the theater release route for the movie "Waiting Alone", so he was naturally not afraid of the film bureau taking advantage of his braids.

I sorted out the bill and copy, and it was already past seven o'clock.

"Go to have a meal now. They probably are waiting in the hotel in an urgent situation." Su Ya asked Li Xia to drive. She took out a box from the passenger's storage box and handed it to Wan Xiaohu, "Tiger, give you a cell phone."

"Why are you giving me a phone?" Wan Xiaohu opened the box and found a black and white Motorola phone.

"Business. As the first contracted director of Dandelion Film Company and one of the company's major shareholders, you don't even have a mobile phone, which is too bad for our company. And you often can't contact you at work. In view of this, I gave you a mobile phone in the name of business. The number has been completed, and I have also charged 500 yuan for phone bills. After spending the expenses, I'll make a call for you."

Li Xia said sourly from the side: "Producer Su, I am also an assistant director at least, why don't I have one?"

"Don't you have a cell phone?"

"I have a cell phone, but I don't have enough phone bills!"

"If you are willing to join Dandelion Film Company, the phone bill company will pay you!" Su Ya began to win over Li Xia after Wan Xiaohu. Currently, Dandelion Film Company has only two people, Su Ya and Wan Xiaohu. Oh, the employee of the former Dandelion Souvenir Store, and also serves as an employee of the film company.

Li Xia asked: "I heard from Hu that he has already partnered with you?"

"Yes. Do you want to come in? Although the company is small at present, there are many positions. When you come, you will be given a position as a sales manager."

"But I am still a student." Li Xia's eyes lit up when he heard the position of sales manager and hesitated.

"Stop going."

Wan Xiaohu tinkered with his mobile phone for a while. He was familiar with touch screen mobile phones and was already unfamiliar with the keyboard and mobile phones of this era. Hearing Su Ya's words, he patted his forehead: "Su Ya, stop cheating Ma Xia, Ma Xia can't resist the temptation." He said to Ma Xia, "Where is Su Ya and I. To be honest, I must nodded in agreement when you come to the company. Who told us to be good friends? But I have to say, if you can go to school now, learn more about directors and publishing knowledge in school. Sharpening the knife will not delay the chopping of wood, don't think about leaving school, otherwise you will regret it."

"Then why don't you want to go back to school to attend class?" Wan Xiaohu planned to leave school after filming the movie, and this matter was not concealed by Li Xia, Chen Chong and others.

Wan Xiaohu smiled and said, "I am different from you. I am a genius and have already mastered all the knowledge. If you are a mortal, you should practice hard. Besides, DVDs have been too fierce in the past two years, and the film industry cannot withstand it. It is not very prosperous. Even if you come out and make a living, there will be no good opportunities. When the cultivation is completed, the market of the film industry will probably be about to recover, and it is just the time for you to show your strength."

"Then you dare to open a film company at this time?"

"Su Ya is going to do it. I can't bear to see her go bankrupt and jump off the building? Based on humanitarianism, I have to help Su Ya build a country." Wan Xiaohu boasted and joked.

Su Ya asked with a smile: "You are so confident that the company can make a fortune?"

"When did you see me without confidence?"

"Yes, you are often overwhelmed with confidence."

The distance was not far, and I soon arrived at Shengjing Restaurant. Li Xia turned off the car and walked with Wan Xiaohu. He said with some emotion: "Thu, to be honest, I really don't want to go back to class now."

"What's wrong?"

"It's boring. I studied in school for two years and I feel that I haven't learned much after spending more than twenty days on the crew of "Waiting Alone". Tell me, what's the point of studying in school? It's better to go to a few crews and accumulate experience."

Wan Xiaohu hugged Li Xia and walked towards the hotel: "Li Xia, you might as well think. In school, you learn basic skills and it doesn't seem useful. But without these basic skills, you can't adapt to all the directorial work of a crew so quickly. Even if you adapt to "Waiting Alone", there are more and larger crews outside. Can you guarantee that you can adapt?"

"I……"

"Mash, believe me, our future is bright. But the first thing is to recharge yourself and accumulate strength. This is the kingdom!"
