Chapter 344: The exercise is finished

October 20, World Osteoporosis Awareness Day.

Similarly, tomorrow is the day when the movie "Exercise" is finished.

A month and seven days, Zhou Xiao felt that it had really passed in a blink of an eye, but after a little recollection, it was full of memories.

Last month, the cauldron's passionate speech is still lingering in my ears, the aftermath of the autumn tiger is still there, and the movie is finished, it seems... I'm not mentally prepared yet.

The shooting at night ended at eleven o'clock, and the main creators of Yigan did not go back to sleep, but opened a meeting.

It's just to look at the shooting log, see if there are any missed shots, and then chat with each other.

Whether it is Liu Daqing, or other directors, screenwriters, photographers, Zhou Xiao has learned a lot from everyone, if he has the opportunity to make movies again in the future, his performance will definitely be better than this time, and people will grow.

After the meeting, Zhou Xiao did not choose to go home, he also had a room in the hotel, but when he passed by the residence of the cauldron, he heard a noisy sound.

Knock on the door and go in and see, money, a lot of money!

The cauldron took the two staff members in a circle, and the table was full of red hundred-yuan bills, at least tens of thousands.

"Hello director!" the crew who helped stood up and said hello.

The cauldron just looked up at him: "After the meeting, hurry up and come over to help, it's almost two hundred red envelopes." ”

He is a producer, and most of the crew has a habit of sending a red envelope after the completion of the film, thanking everyone for their hard work.

After all, the cauldron represents Party A, killing chickens and taking eggs, cunning rabbits and dead lackeys can't be done, and they still have to be mixed in this circle in the future, the appearance is too ugly, and the reputation is stinky, which is equivalent to narrowing the road, which is unnecessary.

The staff are very hard, and they have worked hard for a month, just to support their families and earn a bowl of food.

After all, he is not the only crew and producer, and his reputation is more important than the small interests in front of him.

Zhou Xiao nodded and sat down: "What do you want me to do?"

"You write beautifully, write your name. The cauldron said and brought over a stack of red and white and a roster: "You write it to Xiao Zhang, he is responsible for loading the money, and I will count the money." ”

"Why don't you get a money counter, we have so many on the spot. Zhou Xiao picked up the pen.

"Didn't you forget? The cauldron read him and wrote his name: "Xiao Zhang, don't pretend to be wrong, the amount is different, and it will be embarrassing if the apprentice has more money than the master." ”

"Okay, Mr. Guo. ”

"Well, tomorrow's dinner is arranged. Zhou Xiao asked as he wrote.

"Well, there is a good hotel twenty minutes from here, and it is not arranged to go to the city, I estimate that there will be a lot of people who will get drunk, and it will be too troublesome to send them back when the time comes. He thought about it very thoughtfully, but after finishing speaking, he tilted his head: "Damn, I counted how many tickets... Xiao Zhang, let's change it, you count the money. ”

"Okay, Mr. Guo. ”

"What time will you shoot tomorrow?"

Zhou Xiao thought for a while: "The morning is a rest, it is estimated that it will be an hour." ”

Tomorrow there will be two shots, or specially stayed, the night scene is actually very relaxed, the reason why it was filmed until almost eleven o'clock is that everyone knows that it is going to end, it is relatively relaxed, and there have been some mistakes and NG.

Zhou Xiao naturally didn't say anything about them.

Really calculated, in the past forty days of shooting, he has only been angry a handful of times, and once because the props team was careless, the hanging jewelry fell off, and he almost hit the actor by a few centimeters, and was scolded by Zhou Xiao.

Otherwise, it's okay, most of the time he solves problems by talking.

Overall, the cooperation between the two parties has been quite pleasant.

Zhou Xiao wrote, wrote, and suddenly found his name and was happy.

"I also have red envelopes, quite a few, five thousand. ”

"We have an employment relationship on the film project, or you hired yourself, which belongs to the employee, of course you have to give out red envelopes. ”

The "exercise" is linked to publicity, and it is estimated that a total of 50 million yuan will be invested, of which 10 million will be invested by Dao Sui, and the other 40 million will be borne by more than a dozen investment companies.

As for whether to sign a guarantee agreement, it is still necessary to wait for the film to be cut out and shown to the financier.

In addition to the director's remuneration, Zhou Xiao also enjoys 5% of the net profit.

After the three of them finished making this pile of red envelopes, the time had already come to a little more, but fortunately, there was no shooting tomorrow morning.

Zhou Xiao returned to the room, he didn't fall asleep because he was about to finish, the tiredness in his body was already penetrating to his bones, and it was difficult to recover in a few days, and he yawned a lot when he was helping just now.

Lying on the bed, I wanted to pick up my phone and look at it, but in less than two minutes, my eyelids were fighting, the lights were not turned off, and I fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already half past eleven, no one bothered, and there was no phone.

After washing up in a hurry, I went to the set and smiled.

Mencius, in early summer, they changed their clothes, sat there and chatted, and the staff had already prepared the filming work, and it was no different when they saw that they were all saying hello.

"Wake up. Lin Shan walked over: "I was going to call you, but everyone thinks you're too tired, so it's okay to wait." ”

Zhou Xiao was moved!

Exclaimed, "Have you eaten?"

Everyone laughed: "No, the director didn't say to put the meal, they are all waiting!"

"That line eats first, and after eating, there will be no rest, and the shooting will start directly, no problem, right?"

"Nope!"

There are not many people on the scene, there are more than 30 including the actors, it is a fixed shot, Zhou Xiao sat on the ground with a boxed lunch and everyone, and the food was very delicious.

Most of the crew was there, and they slept lazily like him, only a few people left early in the morning because they were really in a hurry, and they also sent WeChat to Zhou Xiao to explain the situation.

An hour later, the shooting began.

Instead of habitually sitting in front of the monitor, he came behind the camera.

The exercise is over, and Rigor has not only won the victory, but also the love, and the last paragraph is an interview with the "hostages" inside.

"Strict this person, a little stupid, like Haijiao dare not say, every day secretly insert a flower in the small vase on the table, let's listen to what the parties think!"

Mencius picked up a small notebook, flipped through the pages ostentatiously, flipped the pages, and began to giggle, very silly, stupid.

...

"The robbers are vicious, and I am invincible. ”

"This old comrade is brave and invincible, he was killed before he made a move, and he has been lying on the ground very hard..."

"It's so cold on the ground. ”

...

"Grandpa, do you see my phone?"

"Look outside... Child, playing with mobile phones is not good for eyes, I'm old, it's fine. ”

...

"I think it's good to be rigorous, it's cute, and it's very attractive to be a serious and focused man. ”

"Does your child really want his last name?"

"Go!"

...

“OK,cut!”

Zhou Xiao stood up from the camera and looked around, the crew was back, and more than 100 people were quiet.

"I announce," he said, word by word, at maximum volume: "The exercise is officially completed!!

Bang bang bang!

Several bottles of champagne were fired at the same time, and cheers followed.

"It's done. ”

"Hooray. ”

"Congratulations, congratulations. ”

"Rejoice and rejoice. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng was smiling, and suddenly someone sprayed champagne at him, and when he turned his head, it was not Mencius who else, and the others were still doing the same, and the whole person turned into a soup chicken in an instant.

At the moment, there is only one thought in my heart, but fortunately, I got up late and forgot to change my clothes.

was ruthless, snatched the champagne in his hand directly from Mencius, pressed the mouth of the bottle with his thumb, and shook it a few times, no matter who was in front of him, he attacked indiscriminately.

Everyone screamed, laughed, and made a fuss, no different from children.

There are also photographers who shout: "Watch out for the machine, be careful!"

It's just that no one pays attention to him for the time being.

There was a lot of commotion, and everyone was more or less stained with good wine.

The cauldron silently walked out of the corner: "There are still a few bottles here, let's say okay first, don't fight." The resentful expression on his face is very similar to the waiter who walked into the private room with a cake in a KTV.

Glass goblets are definitely not available, disposable paper cups are ready to use.

"To our lovely Director Zhou. Liu Daqing roared.

"To our lovely Director Zhou. "All of them agreed.

"Thank you, thank you!" Zhou Xiao kept nodding in thanks.

Cheers !!

Now it was a short celebration, after half a glass of champagne, the crew began to pack up the equipment, the actors removed their makeup and changed clothes, and Zhou Xiao talked to Liu Daqing about the follow-up.

"I'll take the film to the magic capital first, and then I'll go over after you rest for a few days. ”

"Well, you must be optimistic, it's hard work. ”

"Don't worry. ”

Zhou Xiao doesn't have the right to edit, but he can communicate and express his thoughts with the editor, and after the movie is finished, he is not in a hurry, take his time.

There is still a lot of finishing work in the cauldron, and it is estimated that it will take several days, including the cleaning up of the venue, the salary of the crew, to thank some leaders, and so on.

Standing there, looking at the staff who were still busy on the side, all of a sudden feeling came to my heart.

That's it!

It doesn't seem that difficult!

Isn't it easy?

Not to mention, the dark circles under the eyes that came out of staying up late are still hanging on the face, and the ten pounds of meat that have lost weight have not grown back...

After staying in Jiangning for more than a month, it can be said that this small area has become too familiar to be more familiar, Aunt Zhang who sells popsicles on the side, Brother Li who sells fruit stalls in front, Master Wang who often visits the small restaurant, and the hotel front desk... I don't know!

The hard work is certain, the longest time, 14 hours a day of shooting, not only him, even all the staff are tired on their faces, there are also difficulties, because of the rain temporarily changed the shooting plan, the harvest is even greater, through the joint efforts of 200 people, "Exercise" from text, into hundreds of hours of material, in the near future, will be on the big screen, waiting for the audience's appreciation.

Zhou Xiao understood a lot, and sighed deeply that nothing is easy in this world.

After spending more than an hour on the set, watching the finishing touches gradually finish, he slowly walked back to the hotel.

I took a shower, changed my clothes, sat on the sofa refreshingly, turned on and listened to Coke, and took a big sip.

Flattered!

Some people say that after completing a work, you will feel empty in your heart, Zhou Xiao is okay, although I don't know what the final result is, but there is only satisfaction, and a little sense of achievement.

I came, I did it!

That's all.

As for the future, I'll talk about that later.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the crew and actors gathered together, and before they started drinking, the cauldron led people to hand out red envelopes one by one, and the voice of thanks came everywhere.

After Zhou Xiao said a few words, the banquet began.

How much he drank, he didn't know, he just remembered that there were very many people toasting, very many ...

When I woke up, I had a splitting headache, and when I looked at it, I was already lying in the hotel.

After a little recollection, it seems that Lin Shan and Brother Wang worked together to send him back, but as for the rest, I can't remember it.

Fragment!

There is a glass of cold water on the bedside table, which should have been poured in advance, and after drinking it, I breathed a sigh of relief, and my physical condition was not relieved.

I opened my phone and looked at it, and it was half past ten.

Meng Ziyi sent a WeChat message, she had already taken a plane back, asked Zhou Xiao to take good care of herself, and wait a few days to come to see him.

Thinking about today's itinerary,

Seems to be fine!

Well, sleep a little longer!
