Chapter 211: Life is like a burden
After sending away the Sakai spring water, Ye Zhao waved his hand and called another taxi.
Back to the apartment, hung up the changed coat on a hanger, took out the slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on, and gently put the paper bag on the coffee table in the living room, Ye Zhao turned around and went to the kitchen first, boiled water with an electric kettle to make a cup of hot tea, sat down on the sofa with the teacup, and did not drink tea, but just warmed the cold fingers that were cold outside by the temperature of the teacup.
After that, he put the teacup on the coaster, opened the seal of the paper bag, and gently supported it with both hands, and took the contents out in the same way.
A classic Chianti wine, a couple of rock 'n' roll records, and a somewhat flattened box about 20 centimeters long and 15 centimeters wide, opened to reveal a stack of photographs. There are mostly photos of landscapes, sculptures, churches and other buildings, but there are few portraits. Ye Zhao looked at the photos one by one, as if he was following these photos around Europe.
Halfway through the pages, he found the photograph that Izumizu Sakai said was parodying the cover of the Beatles' record outside the recording room on Abbey Road. In the photo, Sakai Izumi raised his arms with a childish smile on his face. Ye Zhao looked at the photo and couldn't help but smile along.
……
When Ye Zhao was busy with the concert, on the other hand, the post-production of the movie "I Heard that Kirishima is going to retire" that he had been tinkering with for three months was finally completed, and before the official premiere, the film still had a process that had to be followed, that is, to hold a preview screening with only insiders.
The so-called preview screening, in addition to reviewing the content of the film, is somewhat like a sales conference. The completion of the production of the film is only the most basic step, and if you want it to enter the cinema and meet the audience, you have to rely on the film distribution companies to ration the cinema.
The movie "I Heard that Kirishima is going to retire", although it is a youth film, it is indeed a "restricted" film. Because the movie is interspersed with scenes of zombies devouring and skinning humans alive, it is impossible to want to release it for all ages, and as for big movie companies such as Toho Toei Shochiku Kadokawa, don't always think about asking for a bicycle when you first start.
Ultimately, the film was distributed by a company that primarily dispensed theatrically for small-budget and independent productions. Maybe it's because he has more mentality of taking this movie to increase his posture (knowledge) and momentum (knowledge), Ye Zhao doesn't have a very strong idea that it must be a box office hit, only a very simple idea, and the return is a victory.
In the production process of this movie, it is basically attached to NTV TV throughout the whole process, although this has become less in terms of sharing, but just the time and process saved, as well as the experience learned in the production process, are enough to shout that it is worth it. Because the NTV side is more deeply involved, the TV station also sent people over at the test screening.
To tell the truth, Ye Zhao is ...... about this first movie he participated in the production of There's really nothing to look forward to. Although I was full of energy at the beginning, and I was not afraid of difficulties and became more and more courageous in the middle, perhaps because of this, I burned all my enthusiasm into this production process. When the finished product is actually served on the table, he looks like a cook who has been feasting in the back kitchen all day, no matter how beautiful the style of the dish is, how good the taste is, he can't whet his appetite.
Therefore, he entered the venue calmly throughout the whole process, politely and politely completed the necessary greetings with several major bigwigs, and then found his seat and waited for the movie to start screening.
It's just a youth group portrait. There seems to be a sense of contempt to bring this "that's it", but in a screening room where the average age of the audience may be over forty, the film is probably "just" in the eyes of many. Of course, in addition to "that's it", they were also able to evaluate the box office value of the film with a cold and professional eye.
The soundtrack was provided by Ye Zhao himself, and the scissorhands in charge of editing were found by Yukihiko Tsutsumi. The essence of this movie is the editing, the level of Scissorhands is high, this is a shocking good film, if the level of Scissorhands is a mess, this movie will be a mess. Thankfully, the level of this scissorhands is on the line from start to finish.
"It's beyond imagination. After the screening, the NTV people came to greet each other, and commented.
Ye Zhao's smile was modest and peaceful, "The level of Tysang is trustworthy. ”
……
"That's a choke. Walking out of the screening hall, Ye Zhao stretched.
"Why do you say such unlucky things?" said Toshitoshi Takeda, "At this time, you need to say something more energetic." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm such a guy who can't read air. Ye Zhao smiled, "It's just that Takeda-san can understand, right? Just like a student taking the exam, he was nervous and anxious before the exam, but after he came out of the exam room, he would become so lazy and unmotivated." When you get nervous again, it's time to release the list. ”
"Speaking of exam results, you still have university exams early next year. Jun Takeda reminded.
"Yes......" Ye Zhao sighed, "There is still the final concert of Hibiya None in four days, and the recording of the new single has also been put on the agenda, and then there will be various music activities at the end of the year, and the release of the movie is scheduled for January, and then I may have to participate in publicity or something, just thinking about it, I feel that 'life is like a burden'." ”
"So, don't be impatient. As if comforting and reminding, Toshitoshi Takeda picked up the second half of Tokugawa Ieyasu's famous sentence.
"That's right. Ye Zhao said.
"Still, I was surprised. I didn't expect you to do it to this extent. Takeda Jun praised him for the first time in months since Ye Zhao said that he wanted to make a movie to the test screening of this movie, "It's really decent." ”
"Thank you very much, but I'm only a small part of it. Ye Zhao's mentality is also more peaceful than a few months ago, "When it comes to actually doing it, it's really difficult. But it's the hard thing to do, and if it's so easy to do, it's too rude for filmmakers who start with the basics and work hard for decades. ”
"Well, I feel very relieved to hear you say that. ”
"Peace of mind?"
"Yes. At least I don't have to worry about you going bankrupt because of the bloat, and my job is stable. ”
"Hey, hey......" Takeda-san, don't you feel good about it? 2k reading web
