The completion of the film means that the filming part is over, and the next step is to carry out post-production.

The post-production staff of a film is different from the person who shoots it. Except for Xiao Yao, the producer and director himself, and actors who may need post-recording dubbing, the rest of the crew does not need to be involved in the post-production of the film. Xiao Yao held a finale banquet in Qingshuihe County nearby, and the crew was disbanded on the spot.

The post-production cooperation company and personnel were negotiated by Xiao Yao before, and the location for the post-production of the film was in Shencheng. The crew members went their separate ways, and Xiao Yao returned to Shencheng with the filming materials, the production crew belonging to the film and television company, and Sun Tingting.

Although the post-production company and personnel have been contacted, after nearly two months of continuous filming in the Northwest Region, people are still relatively tired. Xiao Yao was not in a hurry to start post-production of the film immediately, and planned to rest for two days before entering the work state. After returning to Shencheng, he first sent the filmed materials back to the company, and then gave himself a few days off.

When Xiao Yao and the others returned to Shencheng, not only Lin Qisan and Nina Aiyiguli had returned to Shencheng after their trip, but Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong happened to be in Shencheng.

At this time, it was already mid-November, and the film shot by Yandian newcomers had completed post-production and had been reviewed. Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong came to Shencheng at this time, and they came to the film and television company to discuss a series of things such as choosing a distribution company, film schedule, and publicity plan with the people in the company's publicity and distribution department.

Xiao Yao's crew returned to Shencheng after completion, and the people in the company knew it, and Zhao Rui and his four friends naturally knew about it. I heard that Xiao Yao gave himself a vacation after he came back, and that night, Zhao Rui and others found Xiao Yao's residence in Shencheng again.

Zhao Rui and others came under the banner of picking up the wind and washing the dust for Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting, but their so-called "catching the wind and washing the dust" did not invite Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting out to eat, but brought a bunch of ingredients to have dinner at Xiao Yao's residence.

Among a group of friends, Zhu Zitong, Lin Qisan and Zhou Zhihao can't cook at all, and Nina Aiyiguli and Zhao Rui can be regarded as good at cooking, but their skills are average. When it comes to cooking, the best skill among several people is Sun Tingting, who inherited Sun Zhihao's cooking skills, followed by Xiao Yao. According to Zhao Rui and others, Sun Tingting and Xiao Yao's cooking skills are no worse than the chefs in the restaurant outside. When I went to visit the class, I couldn't do it outside, so I went home, of course, it was more comfortable and comfortable to eat at Xiao Yao's house. In addition to the taste is not bad, there is no need to worry about gossip reporters and onlookers after being recognized by ordinary people.

Regarding the rogue behavior of Zhao Rui and others, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting have long been accustomed to it. Seeing that they were quite conscious not only brought the ingredients for a meal, but also helped Xiao Yao's residence add a lot of food reserves, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting still fulfilled their wish.

When Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting are alone, it is generally Sun Tingting who cooks and Xiao Yao washes the dishes. This six-person gathering had a relatively large amount of labor, so Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting did it together. As for the work of washing the dishes and cleaning up after eating, Xiao Yao was going to let Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan do it.

Had a lively dinner. After eating and drinking, after cleaning up, everyone naturally still has to sit together and chat. This chat, naturally, came back to work.

The TV series of the newcomer team of Shenju has been fully broadcast, and the ratings and ratings are slightly better than the expectations of the outside world before the broadcast, and some sub-level local TV stations are currently being contacted to prepare for the second round of broadcasting. The company's marketing department also conducted an analysis and gave the results of the analysis that the filming of the second season should continue.

This result is similar to Lin Qisan's prediction during the previous visit. At that time, Xiao Yao had already given his opinion, even if he wanted to shoot the second season, he would have to wait until next year to start the film, and try to use the original team, but he also had to see the salary increase of the main personnel at that time. At that time, Zhao Rui and the others were all present and agreed, so the topic passed quickly, and there was nothing to say.

After the TV series, the next thing is the movie of Yandian's rookie team. At present, the film has completed the post-production and review procedures, and is looking for a distribution company, determining the schedule, and setting a publicity plan.

Speaking of the completion of post-production, Zhao Rui took out a U from his pocket and interrogated Xiao Yao: "Do you want to see the finished film in advance?"

"Of course I want to!" Xiao Yao hadn't answered yet, and Sun Tingting replied first.

Sun Tingting also read the script of Yandian's movie. After filming such a black humor movie, Sun Tingting really wanted to use a movie with a campus youth theme to change her brain and cleanse her soul.

"Are you willing to let us see it in advance?" Xiao Yao looked at Zhao Ruidao.

Although Xiao Yao is the biggest boss of the film and television company, he has the right to watch the works produced by the company in advance. But after all, this movie has the taste of competition between Yandian and Shenxi, Zhao Rui knows that Xiao Yao will not take the initiative to ask for it, and under normal circumstances, Zhao Rui will not give them an internal screening.

"What's so reluctant about this!" Zhao Rui said, "You are also one of the producers, and you are still the first in line, so you have the right to watch it in advance!" Zhao Rui said.

"Yes," Lin Qisan also said, "I told Shi before that I wanted to see what their finished film looked like in advance, and he didn't refuse, just said that we would watch it together when you came back." ”

"Of course I'd like to see it if you want to. Xiao Yao nodded, stretched out his hand and took the USB flash drive in Zhao Rui's hand.

Xiao Yao's residence has a large rear projection, the audio equipment is very good, the sofa is also very comfortable, and the viewing experience is definitely the best in the home of several people. After Xiao Yao started playing, everyone found a comfortable position on the sofa and watched it.

Although several people have read the first draft of the script and know the general content and plot, Xiao Yao even contributed the most original ideas and details of a fragment to the script, but reading the script and watching the movie are completely different things, and everyone is still very involved in watching it.

Nearly two hours of film, I finished watching it before I knew it.

"How do you feel?" After the movie ended, Zhao Rui naturally asked Xiao Yao how he felt.

"Not bad!" Xiao Yao nodded, "If I give it a rating, it may be around seven points, which is already very good for a rookie director and a rookie actor!"

"Is there anything bad about that?" Zhao Rui then asked.

"If you want to find faults, you can definitely find some of them. Xiao Yao said, "It's just some subtle problems, now that you have done a good job in the later stage, you can't remake and revise it, and you are not a director, and you have no intention of being a director for the time being, so it doesn't make sense to tell you this." It's just like that, and I feel good about it. ”

"The crew has been disbanded, it is difficult to reshoot, and the problem of the image is not easy to change, so what about the soundtrack and interlude?" Zhao Rui said, "It is still okay to make some adjustments in these aspects." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yao looked at Zhao Rui and said, "I heard that your finished films have already been reviewed, aren't you contacting the distributor to discuss the release schedule and publicity plan?

"It's nothing to retry once. Zhao Rui said, "If you just modify the soundtrack or interlude, there will always be no violations that will cause the second review to fail, right? Some movies have announced the schedule and started promotion before they have passed the review, but the review has not led to the change or withdrawal of the file, we are more reliable than that kind of movie, right?"

"I can see it!" Xiao Yao smiled, "You heard that my movie will start in a few days in the later stage, and I want to give myself a few days off, so I want to catch my strong man again!"

"Why do I just want to arrest you for a few days?" Zhao Rui said, "I also want you to participate in the promotion of the movie and go to the roadshow with us!"

"You have no opinion?" Xiao Yao turned his head to look at Lin Qisan.

"What can I say?" Lin Qisan said, "I said last time, even if the movie was shot by their Yan Dian, it is always a work produced by our company." The better the movie, the higher the earnings for us. ”

"What about your sense of competition?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that their movie ratings are higher than our TV series?"

"Our TV series have been broadcast, the results have been decided, the ratings are not bad, and the word-of-mouth is not a bad drama, I am already satisfied. Lin Qisan said, "After all, movies and TV series are different, and there is no strong direct comparison. I just don't want to say that Yandian is making a good film, and Shenxi is making a bad drama. Now there is no such possibility, even if Yandian's movie score is a little higher, I don't care. ”

"Okay," Xiao Yao smiled, "but it's useless for you to care! The soundtrack of this movie has been done well, and even if I redo it, it won't necessarily be better than the original." Also, I'm just a producer, not even a producer, and you want me to go to a roadshow with you? I don't even want to run a roadshow for a movie starring me!"

"I know this," Zhao Rui said, "I'm just making an analogy." I know you're unlikely to go to a roadshow, so I'm ready to settle for the next best. ”

"What's next?" Xiao Yao asked.

"The premiere of the movie!" Zhao Rui said.

"The premiere will only take half a day, and I will definitely participate!" Xiao Yao said.

"Of course you have to participate!" Zhao Rui said, "And you not only have to participate, but also go on stage as the main creative member!"

"What?" Xiao Yao immediately shook his head and said, "Although the producer is also the main creative team, it is not a character who often appears at premieres. I didn't do anything at all, so I went on stage with you! I'm just going to give you a platform, not going on stage!"

"No!" Zhao Rui said, "Even if you don't count the producer, the script of this movie comes from the static movie you helped us make last year, even if we agree to your request not to sign in the screenwriter's column, you are still the main creative team in our eyes." ”

"What kind of creator is this?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "I've only heard that the adapted movie asks the original author to be the main creator, how did I become the main creator after I took a few photos casually?"

"I won't talk to you about this," Zhao Rui waved his hand and said, "Even if you remove these, the theme song of our movie is your song, and you are still the singer of the theme song of our movie, right?

"This," Xiao Yao thought for a moment and nodded, "Then I only go on stage to sing, and after singing, I don't participate in the interview and Q&A session later, okay? I didn't participate in the front and back stages of your movie, so there's really nothing to say." You're going to have me in the live interviews that follow, and be careful that I turn your movie premiere into a promotional event for my Donkey Gets Water!"

"Okay, just go up and make a show!" Zhao Rui thought about it and agreed to Xiao Yao's request.

There will definitely be media at the premiere of the movie, and the interview session is a great opportunity to be exposed. The company's biggest boss is also the biggest beneficiary, Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui are good buddies with deep feelings, if they change to another company, other people, I am afraid that they can't wait to agree, I am afraid that they have already been negotiated, but Xiao Yao is here to bargain with Zhao Rui, and they are very happy.

This means that the people next to him are all people close to Xiao Yao, and they know Xiao Yao's personality and style better. If it were someone else, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to understand Xiao Yao again.

"I promised you this," Zhao Rui continued to Xiao Yao, "But you also have to promise me that after the premiere date is confirmed, you will have to find some big stars to help us stand on the platform at the premiere!"

The production team of the movie is all newcomers, and it is naturally a weakness in terms of popularity, so inviting more big stars to the platform at the premiere is naturally an effective means to make up for it. Xiao Yao understands this truth, and he has no opinion on it, but...

"You and Zitong are both second-generation stars, and the two of you plus your family have much more network resources in the circle than me, right?" Xiao Yao said, "And this is the work of Yandian students, and those big stars in the circle who were born in Yandian should also be willing to support it." Even if you don't want the elders in the family to come forward, just the two of you, you shouldn't have to worry about not being able to invite big stars to the premiere, right?"

"The network resources of the two of us are not bad, but they are basically concentrated in the film and television industry. Zhao Rui said, "In the music circle, the four of us are not as good as yours combined, right? The two of us are not afraid to invite seniors in the music industry under your banner, but this is not as sincere as you coming forward to invite in person. ”

"It's okay, who do you want to invite?" Xiao Yao nodded.

"You can do it yourself," Zhao Rui said, "It must be the bigger the name and the more sure the better!"

"My dad will definitely go, needless to say. Xiao Yao began to sum up, "Brother Xiaodong's character, for no reason, should not be made up at the movie premiere, and I shouldn't be able to invite him." Or Liang Xueying? She has sung the theme song for many movies in the past few years, and she has been to the movie premiere a lot, so she should be more adaptable. Although she didn't sing the theme song of this movie, it shouldn't be difficult to invite her to make an appearance. Teacher Hong Wei..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yao's eyes lit up, and he said to Zhao Rui: "You said that the soundtrack and theme song of the movie can be changed?"

"Yes," Zhao Rui nodded, and said strangely, "But didn't you say that you just did it yourself, and it wasn't necessarily better than the current one, in fact, there was nothing to change?"

"There's nothing to change about the soundtrack. Xiao Yao said, "But the theme song can be changed." Even if the effect is the same, the current theme song is my old song, if a new song is used as the theme song, at least there can be more gimmicks in publicity!"

"New song, you write it?" Zhao Rui said subconsciously, and then continued, "This must be written by yourself." You said you were making a movie and didn't have the time and energy to make the soundtrack for the movie, but now that your movie is finished, post-production hasn't started yet, and you've watched our movie, it shouldn't be a problem to write a theme song for the movie in the next few days of rest. ”

"That's what it means!" Xiao Yao nodded, "For me, writing songs doesn't affect rest. ”

Xiao Yao feels tired now because he made movies, and writing songs can make him change his mind, which is not in conflict with his purpose of wanting to relax.

"Then you still sing it yourself?" Zhao Rui asked unconsciously, and then said to himself, "Nonsense, the song you wrote must still be sung by yourself!"

"This is not nonsense!" Xiao Yao said, "I don't write all the songs I sing. I have not only written songs for others, but also written theme songs and ending songs for film and television works, and I have sung them for others!"

"This time, I don't plan to sing it myself!" Xiao Yao said, "I plan to write a song for Mr. Hong Wei to sing." In this way, I can ask Mr. Hong to perform on stage during the premiere, and I don't have to go up. ”
