When Hawke arrived at Director Jiang's dinner, he found that there was another person inside, Yan Fei, the head of the production department of Longmen Pictures, the largest investor in "The Emperor Ring", was also here.

"Director Jiang is good, Mr. Yan is good. Hawke greeted the two with the same expression.

Mr. Yan motioned for Huo Ke and Fang Zheng to take a seat, and said familiarly: "The last time I met Mr. Huo was half a year ago, and I came over with Lao Jiang today, so I will call you Xiao Huo." ”

Yan Fei's attitude was so enthusiastic, Hawke naturally nodded in agreement.

The presence of people from Dragon Gate Pictures is great news for Hawke, which means that "The Royal Ring" is full of sincerity.

"Well, the jet lag is going well, right?"

Director Jiang, who had obvious dark circles under his eyes, asked Hawke this, and those who didn't know thought that Jiang Shan had gone abroad.

"It's all fine, I was a little tired yesterday, and today it's all fine. ”

Perhaps because of the urgency of time, Jiang Shan went straight to the topic after a few casual greetings.

"Xiao Huo, you should have seen the trailer of the European Federation version of the movie, which caused a lot of repercussions abroad, and I have to say that you have contributed a lot. Jiang Shan praised unabashedly.

Seeing that Hawke was about to reply, Yan Fei preemptively said: "You don't have to be modest, more than half of the messages under the trailer are comments on you, and you are undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the trailer." ”

The two of them held the starting point so high that Hawke couldn't reply at all.

Fortunately, Fang Zheng was still beside him, and he handed the tea brought by the waiter to the two of them in person and said: "Xiao Huo, as a participant in "The Imperial Ring", was also very happy when he learned that the trailer had attracted wide attention, and it was naturally our honor to be invited by Director Jiang to discuss the scene today, as long as the conditions permit, the Century side will fully cooperate with the crew's arrangements." ”

Before coming, Founder conveyed the meaning of the company's management to Hawke.

He has just left the idol group now and has lost a traffic entrance, and as an artist, he must know how to give up some interests appropriately and lower his posture in the initial stage.

It's just that this kind of somewhat groveling words are not suitable for Hawke to say it himself, and it is no problem for Fang Zheng to say it.

"Since the audience likes it so much, it is the right thing to do to increase the number of scenes. Yan Fei said with a smile, "A few days ago, I had a meeting with Lao Jiang and them, and discussed that we would extend the time of your original scenes and add some dialogues, but Lao Jiang said that this would affect the narrative structure of the movie." ”

"I'm not an expert in how to shoot movies, so let Lao Jiang figure it out. After Yan Fei finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Shan and motioned for him to continue.

"You should be familiar with the script, your play has a paragraph in the middle and at the end, and my idea now is for you to join the Dragon Gate Dart Game and play in the plot of the middle few acts. ”

The so-called Dragon Gate Dart Bureau is the code name of the team that escorted the male protagonist of the waste wood to the Holy Mountain.,The name was taken in the plot setting to hide people's eyes and ears.,Avoid the pursuit of the demon gate.。

This has nothing to do with the fact that the investor is Longmen Pictures.

"Will this cause trouble for the teachers' shooting?" no matter how surprised Hawk was in his heart, he couldn't show it too obviously, he just voiced his concerns.

There is still a month before the movie is finished, according to Director Jiang's meaning, will most of the scenes in the second half have to be reshot?

"You don't have to worry about this, many of these scenes are action scenes, which require a lot of special effects rendering, and you can rely on post-production synthesis after shooting alone. Jiang Shan explained, "You don't have a lot of literary drama in the added scenes, and several leading actors are still in the crew, so it's not a problem." ”

"I don't know how long the expected filming time will be? The two also know that Xiao Huo is still the starring role of "Star Girl", and must join the group by early September at the latest. Fang Zheng said.

"You mean you can spare three weeks?" Yan Fei frowned and then asked Jiang Shan, "Is there enough time?"

Jiang Shan nodded solemnly after thinking for a while.

The four of them had a good conversation.

"Xiao Huo, you have to work hard, I believe that your character will be loved by countless audiences inside and outside China. Yan Fei patted Hawke on the shoulder and said, "After joining the crew, act well, don't think about so many things outside, as long as the filming is good, there will naturally be more people who pay attention, this is the most important thing." ”

Yan Fei's inexplicable preaching made Hawke a little surprised.

However, the other party is a big investor and is rich and capricious.

In the end, Yan Fei went out by chatting with Fang Zheng about the rest of Century Entertainment's investment, leaving Jiang Shan and Huo Ke in the private room.

Jiang Shan confirmed that the two of them were far away and said to Hawke: "You see that Mr. Yan is in a very good mood today, and he is so easy to talk, but when you see him during the filming and post-publicity of the crew, you still have to be measured, but you have taken a trip to the ghost gate." ”

Director Jiang's words made Hawke a little confused.

"Do you know why you only have one shot in the Huaxia version? As the main supporting role, although the weight is not as much as the protagonist, it is not so miserable. ”

"Director Jiang, what do you mean, Mr. Yan, Longmen?" Hawke didn't say too much, just guessed one or two.

"In April, a small number of photos and videos of the crew were leaked on the Internet, most of them were mainly you, and it may be that the people who worked in the crew had ulterior motives. Jiang Shan signaled Hawke not to be in a hurry, and said slowly, "At that time, Longmen paid attention to this matter, but the photo was quickly deleted, and it didn't have much impact, so I just gave up." ”

In fact, now this version of the trailer has been cut by Longmen, because a few days before the screening, a large number of set photos were leaked on the website again, in addition to the photos, there are also some blurred videos. Jiang Shan didn't look at Hawke, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, and said, "There is no doubt that this has affected the secrecy of the crew and damaged the interests of Longmen." ”

What Director Jiang Shan didn't say was that most of these photos were Hawke's characters, so it was either Hawke or Century Entertainment behind him who leaked the secret.

Hawke is very sure that Century Entertainment leaked the previously intercepted photos without a trace after the trailer was launched, helping Hawke bring a heat, and those so-called "leaked photos" have been screened to ensure that they do not cause counterproductive effects due to excessive force.

This kind of hype and publicity after the trailer is launched is not only Hawke, but all artists in China are doing it, and it is already an unwritten "reasonable" means of publicity.

As for the large-scale leak in advance, it must have been done by someone else.

During that time, Hawke was busy with Menglong's concert and had no time to take care of anything else.

If Jiang Shan hadn't told him, Hawke wouldn't have known the seriousness of this matter for his star journey, according to what Jiang Dao said, it was benevolent and righteous that Longmen didn't cut him at that time.

"Longmen's operations in China and abroad are separated, and the trailer on the side of the European Federation has not been affected, and the popularity generated by your character there is even higher than the movie itself. Jiang Shan had an expression that didn't know whether to be happy or helpless.

So if it weren't for the 11 million clicks of the trailer of the European Federation, Hawke estimated that he would not meet Yan Fei at the dinner table today, but in the courtroom.

"As a member of "The Ring", I always put the interests of the crew first. Regardless of whether Jiang Shan believes it or not, Hawke still has to explain, "After joining the group, I will also ask the assistant to be more vigilant to prevent people from taking advantage of it." ”

"We filmmakers are more pure-minded, and we want to make movies that are popular, and these things are not so careful, but Yan is different, what their investors value is different from us, and it is common to modify the plot in order to cater to the market. Jiang Shan pointed to his dark circles and said, "You have to act well, worthy of the script I changed for so many days." ”

Hawke believes that as long as he works hard in the crew, whether it is Jiang Shan or Yan Fei over time, he will definitely be able to win back the trust of the bigwigs.

Compared with these, those who deliberately put together the photo materials about Hawke and leaked them a few days before the trailer was released, almost killing him before the start of his film career, made Hawke feel even more thorns in his back. 8)
