Li Qian lost a full weight.

Seeing his son again after more than half a year is the first feeling of Li's father and Li's mother.

Mother Li was so distressed that her eyes were teary.

This is Li Qian, who has slept in the hotel in Chengdu for a whole day, and Li Qian after shaving and cleaning up carefully.

"Thin, dark. While cleaning up the dishes, Mama Li kept turning her head to look at the living room, muttering, "How good do you say you are at writing songs well, what kind of TV series are you filming?

Li Qian smiled and explained a few words, but Li's mother still didn't give up, and with a kitchen knife in her hand, she walked to the kitchen door and said, "No one has persuaded you about them?"

Li Qian smiled and said seriously: "I listen to my mother, not my daughter-in-law." ”

Mama Li glanced at him and pointed at the kitchen knife, "That's your mouth!"

At this time, Li's father had already smoked the cigarette handed over by his son, and puffed out a puff of white smoke, which was so moisturizing, although he also felt sorry for his son, but that kind of life height was naturally not comparable to Li's mother only knowing that she loved her son, so she waved her hand at this time, "Where do you talk so much, you are young, you are willing to do something, and regardless of success or failure, it is not wrong! What is there when you are tired? Okay, okay, stop talking, hurry up and get food, my son is hungry!"

Mama Li sighed and turned back to the kitchen.

Dad Li lifted Erlang's legs and asked, "This time, it's more than three months, right?"

Li Qian nodded, "Well, from the official start, it will be about three and a half months, a hundred days! If I start to gather people to prepare, it will take a little longer." ”

Dad Li took a puff of cigarette, nodded, and said as if he was asking, "Your mother called Teacher Qi." She wanted to beat you, I said don't fight, don't affect my son's work, she secretly beat you Teacher Qi, according to her, this drama has cost a lot of money?"

Li Qian smiled. Said: "Fortunately, it's still within the budget, so far, it has cost less than 18 million, and the next word, I'll do the soundtrack myself, and find these people in the company to do it, it's okay, it's just that there is a big head." It's more expensive, and it's special effects production. ”

After a pause, he explained in detail, "I have slightly higher requirements for this part, and I hope to make a picture that is not so fake, so I am not satisfied with our domestic personnel and equipment." But there is no way, we can't buy the technology. I can't dig people, so I can only use money to smash it, study it myself, upgrade my equipment, and slowly study it little by little. ”

"But it's okay, the country is in the computer area. In fact, the technical foundation is not much worse than that of foreign countries, and I dare not say that I am catching up, at least the gap is not so big that people can see it at a glance. ”

Dad Li listened to it as "special effects production" and "computer". I was very confused, but I still looked like I understood, "oh", nodded, and then asked, "That...... And it will cost a lot?"

Li Qian nodded, "Well, in August, before filming started, I had already contacted several small and medium-sized picture processing studios and companies in Shuntianfu, and planned to invest a sum of money to acquire all their studios, and then spend some money to upgrade the equipment, uh...... Fortunately, we don't pay much attention to this in China now, if you have money, you can directly take it to Japan and the United States to do post-production special effects, and if you don't have money, you just cut off the expensive place in the script, so it hasn't developed in China over the years, and they are not so expensive!"

Dad Li let out another "oh", but he still couldn't hold back, and asked again: "If you buy it...... How much does it cost?"

Li Qian finally sensed that something was wrong, thought about it, and decided to tell the truth, "The money spent on the acquisition is limited, but a large number of recruits, equipment, and new equipment require a lot of investment, for this matter, I plan to take out ......" He put out two fingers.

Dad Li's eyes blinked, and he wanted to shout two million, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was wrong, so his eyes widened, "Twenty million?"

Li Qian nodded.

Mama Li came out of the kitchen with a half-pulled green onion in her hand, "How much? Why is it 20 million? What did you spend again?"

Dad Li blinked, but he didn't want to cover it up for Li Qian, so he asked: "Then your drama is equivalent to spending a total of 40 million?"

Li Qian looked at Dad Li, then turned his head to look at Mama Li, thought about it, and said: "It's going to cost so much, but the 20 million invested in the later stage is not a one-shot deal, it can be used for a long time in the future, and after accumulation, it will even be a way to make money in the future." ”

Dad Li finally said "oh" and said, "I'll just say it!" He looked up at Mama Li and gave Mama Li a look, and then said, "You hurry up and cook, I'll talk to my son, what are you always mixed with!"

Mama Li gave him a blank look when she heard this, and reluctantly turned her head back to the kitchen.

Here, Dad Li said to Li Qian: "What, what did your mother ask, and you Teacher Qi can't help but say it, isn't it?" So, as soon as your mother and I heard that you invested 40 million, we were a little ...... You also know, your mother and I, we're all used to being poor, aren't we? Let's think, we have money in our hands, but we can't catch everything and spend everything, right? The predecessors said that it is not easy to fight the world, and it is even more difficult to defend the world! We must not only be able to earn it, but also be able to keep it, Qian'er, what do you say?"

Li Qian smiled, patted Li's father's knee, and said, "Dad, it's too early to say this, I haven't earned enough yet, I invested this money to make more money!"

Father Li nodded his head when he heard the words "um" and "um", but there was no surprise on his face, and after a while, he looked at his son and asked, "What if...... What about the loss?"

…………

After the overall finalization, the crew repaired in Chengdu Mansion for a day and ate and drank. Then, the actors left the group one after another, and the staff also said goodbye to each other, some people were taken by Jin Han and Li Qian, and after a deep talk, they have decided to join Minghu Culture and receive a fixed salary that is not much, but enough to support their families, and some people are likely to wait until the next cooperation to meet.

The finale banquet was over, Li Qian finally slept well, and then washed his face and shaved his beard, cleaned himself up from top to bottom, and threw the final evacuation task of the crew to Han Shunzhang, and he flew back to Jinan Mansion directly with a ticket.

However, even if he went home, he would not be able to live here permanently.

He came in the morning, stayed at home for an afternoon, ate two meals, and after dinner, at eleven o'clock, he had already boarded the train to Shuntianfu.

…………

After the filming was over, the crew was disbanded, and it seemed that everything would soon return to normal.

According to the rules of Shuntian Film Academy, junior students are not allowed to take long leave, but Li Qian personally went to the old principal, and the old principal gave Li Qian three months of leave, from September to the end of November, and now that the filming is over, after returning to Shuntian Mansion, Li Qian of course hurried back to cancel the vacation, and continued to lie in school honestly and be a good student.

And Sun Yuting, Feng Bin and others, who came back at the same time, despite Li Qian's endorsement, did not ask for leave in advance after all, so in the end they were severely criticized by the school, and all the people who participated in Li Qian's crew, Sun Yuting, Liu Xueyi, Lu Bin, Fu Xuelong, Song Yupin, Xue Changlong, each of them got a demerit.

Of course, the filming stage is over, for a drama, only half of the workload has been completed, as a director, Li Qian has a lot to do, but the next thing can be delayed, so in addition to going back to school immediately to start classes, as long as there is no class, he will go to Minghu Culture, and work with Liu Liuqing, the editor recommended by Yu Bojun, to do the post-editing.

At the same time, Li Qian has dozens of episodes - of course, as a grandmaster-level figure in the domestic genre of sweet songs, and He Runqing, who is extremely good at sweet and glutinous singing, has naturally become the singing substitute of Bai Suzhen, the white lady in the play.

As for Xu Xian, Li Qian originally planned to let Zhao Yuan sing, but after a little try, he found that his voice was no problem for singing, but singing this Huangmei tune style in the TV series seemed a little hard. And this kind of hardness is not a matter of skill, it is really brought out by the northerners from their childhood, involving breathing, articulation, etc., anyway, it doesn't feel good for Li Qian.

Although these things can be changed by inviting someone to come over for training, but if they are really changed, Li Qian feels that it may not be a good thing, because a large part of Zhao Yuan's unique taste when he sings officially comes from his unique breathing and pronunciation habits of northerners.

Fortunately, the company just signed a new singer named Wang Nanhao at the end of October, he is not only a very talented singer-songwriter, but also has a very young voice.

After a little try, Li Qian made a decision, and he was responsible for singing for Xu Xian in the play.

As for the rest of the singing...... As long as the White Lady and Xu Xian are dealt with, it will be much easier for others to do.

For example, the ending song of the whole play "Crossing Love", that is, when Bai Suzhen took Xiaoqing to distinguish whether Xu Xian was her benefactor in her previous life, the duet between Xiaoqing and the boatman in the rain in the West Lake, Li Qian grabbed Cao Zhan and sang the boatman after denying Ge Rilen, and after a try, his broken gong voice was actually very right, and Xiaoqing's singing was recorded by Xie Bing, who had a sweet voice.

Therefore, the advantages of opening their own record company are undoubtedly highlighted at this time, coupled with the theme song "Waiting for a Thousand Years" that must be won by He Runqing, all the theme songs, ending songs and interludes of such a big and long TV series that are almost operatic have been handled so easily.
