The final filming of the crew went very smoothly, after all, the follow-up parts were just some old routines, and a few people were just fighting in the back mountains. After spending 3,000 yuan of film, Chen Long successfully completed the shooting of the salmon ladder, although it was not perfect, but it was also made step by step, and it looked very real.

After the filming was completed, Yuan Heping took Xu Zhi to an industrial building in Hung Hom, Kowloon, which was the cutting room of Yuan Heping's friend.

The completion of the filming of the film basically completed the signing of the 90-meter sprint of the 100-meter sprint, but everyone knows that the last ten meters are the most likely to go wrong, because the front is slow, and you can work harder, and in the last ten meters, if you fail, you will fail.

After taking out all the negatives, Yuan Heping and Xu Zhi couldn't help but gasp for breath with tiredness. The film disc was very heavy, about a dozen kilograms per piece, and the drunken fist shot 6 discs.

"Is it only 6 plates?"

Yuan Heping replied: "Yes, there are only 6 sets, our plot was decided before filming, Lao Fang, this film can't go wrong." ”

Lao Fang smiled: "Don't worry, I know that it is your first debut, and there will be no problems." ”

Yuan Heping shouted: "Get out, talk well." This is my boss Xu Sheng. ”

Lao Fang hurriedly shook hands and said, "Just call me Lao Fang, I heard that Kunlun was written by you?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Lao Fang said: "Then why did you write Liang Wenjing to death! I like him the most, even if you want to write the story of his son, just kick him off the cliff." ”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Then how to write it later, Liang Wenjing obtained peerless magic skills under the cliff?"

Lao Fang waved his hand: "You are a writer, you have the final say on how you write." ”

Yuan Heping interjected: "Okay, let's talk about it later, and finish the work first." ”

"Okay, help me carry it in. Lao Fang hurriedly commanded the two of them and sent the film in the two boxes together.

Different from the digital age, a reel of film in this era is disposable, and the price is extremely expensive, to put it simply, although Xiangjiang Film keeps exporting RB, almost all the films are also bought RB goods, really calculated, the light film industry, whether Xiangjiang and RB are in surplus or deficit, it is difficult to say clearly.

When the film is being filmed, it is often re-shot. For example, forgetting words, saying wrong words, not in place, and not shooting the scenery well, even if the producer can save to a certain extent, there will definitely be N NG, but it is impossible to change the film disc after NG, and will continue to shoot, so that the plot that is really needed is mixed with a bunch of wrong plots.

After the shooting is completed, all the plots need to be completed by the cutter, and of course, there are some plot choices that will also remove a lot of film. There will even be cases where you find out that the plot is wrong after cutting, and then reshoot.

In this regard, Drunken Boxing is relatively simple, except for many NG shots, most of the plot does not need to be chosen, because the entire shooting is done step by step according to the script, even Yuan Heping does not have the right to modify the plot.

However, cutting is a very careful wage, slow work produces fine work, and only a fool thinks that quality and speed can be combined.

It took 3 days, and with the assistance of Xu Zhi and Yuan Heping, the original version of Drunken Fist was finally completed.

After that, things are simple, spend a sum of money, make a few copies of the plastic disk, and everything is almost done, just wait for the release in the middle of the month.

The sky in the south changes like a woman's face, and in the morning the sun is still shining, but when it comes out at noon, it is already cloudy, thunder is rolling, and the rain is pouring down.

Fortunately, the taxi driver drove the car to the underground parking lot, and Xu Zhi avoided becoming a soup chicken.

"Hey, what do you want?"

Lin Wenzhou was thinking about some things in the newspaper, but Xu Zhi was taken aback and replied: "It's nothing, the company's cash flow has been a little tight recently, and I'm just a little worried." ”

Xu Zhi asked, "What's the matter? Isn't the newspaper selling very well?"

Lin Wenzhou said: "It's because it's good that I'm worried." Now the cost of newspapers alone is close to 20,000 yuan a day, not to mention the purchase of various office equipment and staff salaries. ”

Xu Zhidao: "Can't get the money back from the newspaper?"

Lin Wenzhou nodded and said: "Yes, we don't have the ability to issue by ourselves, and we handed over all the issuance to a company, but we said that it would be a one-week settlement, but now it has been more than ten days, and we have been sloppy after asking on the phone a few times." ”

Xu Zhi asked: "Then didn't your Huixing Daily publish it yourself before?"

Lin Wenzhou said: "Yes, but at that time, the coverage of Huixing was small, mainly in the central part of Kowloon, so we could basically handle it ourselves, but now Golden Harvest Daily is sold together with the entire Xiangjiang, and we can only entrust others." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Can't you go to court then?"

Lin Wenzhou shook his head and said: "No, there is only one largest newspaper distribution company in the entire Xiangjiang, which almost monopolizes this industry, not to mention how long it takes to fight a lawsuit, even if the money is coming back, it will not be cost-effective if it loses the channel." ”

Xu Zhidao: "Then can you ask Zou Wenhuai to come forward? He should be able to solve this matter." ”

Lin Wenzhou sighed: "Impossible, this matter is not so simple, just by looking at the name of our newspaper, you know the relationship with Zou Wenhuai, but now it is also targeted, why do you think it is?"

Xu Zhidao: "You mean how many other big newspapers?"

Lin Wenzhou said: "Yes, Zou Sheng should also know about this situation, maybe not only a few major newspapers, but even people from other industries intervene, they are not only targeting our newspaper!"

Xu Zhi shook his head and smiled: "I understand, but it is impossible for them to win Zou Wenhuai in this way, with Zou Wenhuai's financial resources, it is estimated that there is no difficulty in setting up a distribution channel by themselves!"

Lin Wenzhou said: "Yes, this is the case, when Huixing ran a small newspaper in the past, it is estimated that these predators did not pay attention to it at all, if this kind of trick is aimed at ordinary people, it is estimated that it can drag a newspaper that has just grown to death." ”

Xu Zhidao: "Starting a business is not so easy, especially when there is a huge threat to traditional companies. How much does the newspaper sell now?"

Lin Wenzhou said: "It's about forty or fifty thousand a day, fortunately, the sales have been good recently, and some companies have come to advertise, and the funds have flowed back." ”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "The results are still quite good, no wonder those people want to suppress our newspaper." Then Zou Sheng should know about this, right? What is he going to do?"

Lin Wenzhou said: "Zou Sheng has already intended to build a small transportation company by himself, specializing in distributing our newspapers, no matter how influential those people are, at most they can control the transportation channels, it is impossible for all the newsstands not to sell our newspapers, as long as we have our own channels, we don't have to worry about stabbing in the back." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "This is another batch of money!"

Lin Wenzhou said: "I talked to Zou Sheng, in fact, a big newspaper needs to have its own distribution channels. This is the case with Ming Pao and Oriental Daily. Because of the joint venture nature of our newspaper, he knew that you would definitely not agree to build this channel again, so he set up his own company first. ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, as long as the channel is established, you don't have to worry about being stuck."

"Yes, the channel has been built, and if the money can't be recovered, we will immediately take it to court. Lin Wenzhou asked again: "By the way, how is your movie?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "It's basically over, just waiting for the release in a few days." ”

Lin Wenzhou said with a smile: "Then I will first congratulate Xu Sheng on the big sell." ”
