Chapter 6: Chinese New Year's Eve

East Asian culture has always carried a bit of Confucian traditional thought in its bones.

Even if we advertise proletarianism and atheism, in the field of ethics, we still value the most traditional education.

During the New Year's holidays, we pay attention to reunion.

Xu Hui also wants to go home to reunite with his parents when the whole country is jubilant, but no, the editing of the movie needs him.

Chinese New Year's Eve 2009.

Xu Hui finished calling home and returned to the editing room again.

It's sad to think about it, a director, a national idol has to be busy with work during the Chinese New Year!

He had to keep an eye on the later stages of "Those Years", and the editing, special effects, compositing, and dubbing of the entire film needed to be completed within two months.

Then it will be submitted for approval and passed before the next step of publicity and screening can be carried out.

Fortunately, the construction period of "Those Years" is sufficient, and the rough cutting part has been almost completed, and now I am busy with fine cutting.

Editing is a very tedious job, the editor is very important to the whole movie, shooting so many scenes every day, they must be preliminarily arranged according to the direction of the plot, and the arrangement is the most basic rough cut.

Xu Hui Studio attaches great importance to these post-production talents in film and television dramas, and the salary is very high, of course, their workload is also very large.

They are usually mainly busy editing variety shows produced by companies or co-produced by companies, and the editing of movies is more cumbersome than variety shows.

Xu Hui is the person who knows the movie "Those Years" best, even if he explained the style and direction, he still didn't feel at ease, so when editing, he couldn't walk away.

originally wanted to give himself a vacation, but it was unrealistic, even if he really went home, he probably wouldn't be able to stay.

"Alright, brothers, go home first, we won't be in a hurry. ”

The time was five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Hui looked at the entire editing room, in addition to his own thoughts, he was still worried about the movie, and several other people estimated that all they wanted was to go home, so they simply let this group leave.

Most of the editing work in China is from the former state-owned screening units, and the talents poached by Xu Hui's studio are accounted for by the original Qingying Studio, and these people are BJ locals.

"Happy New Year, Director!"

……

The editing room was soon empty, and Xu Hui was not in the mood to work.

I just went out and bought something.

Fortunately, there is still a supermarket open.

casually bought something to fill his belly, and Xu Hui returned to the hotel.

Anyway, if you don't have the heart to work, it's better to take a good vacation and take a day off.

After pouring a glass of red wine and taking out a few bags of snacks, Xu Hui took out his mobile phone and prepared to reply to the text message.

After a year in the film industry, Xu Hui finally has preliminary contacts, most of which are bigwigs or actresses of film and television companies.

Sometimes, Xu Hui is quite proud of himself, whether it is in his past life or in this life.

In the original time and space, he made a little achievement at the age of thirty, and the first film directed independently sold well when no one was optimistic, becoming a new generation of 'ghost talent' directors, although he knew that it was luck, but luck was also part of his strength.

In this life, at the age of twenty-four, he became a guest of a bunch of bigwigs in the film and television industry.

Seriously, if he has a talent for business, maybe, the future richest man is likely to be surnamed Xu.

Taking a sip of red wine, Xu Hui opened his notebook and looked at this year's work plan.

After the release of "Those Years", if the box office results are satisfactory, he will direct the first part of the "Once Upon a Time" series, after all, I don't know if the martial arts films of the 90s have box office appeal now.

And without Li Lianjie, the ghost knows if the audience will approve of it.

To put it bluntly, Xu Hui is currently the kind of commercial film director who is on the box office.

He can do anything for the sake of the film to be profitable, for the maximum publicity effect that can be achieved before the film is screened, provided that it is within the scope of the law.

This shameless spirit is also one of the reasons why he is favored by the producer.

For the first part of the "Once Upon a Time" series, he planned a filming cycle of three months, ensuring that it would be released on the National Day or the Chinese New Year.

And then, gone.

One movie a year is the normal workload of a director, and Xu Hui didn't want to be a workaholic.

Work is important, but so is enjoyment.

The general strategy of the company has been decided, the variety show part cooperates with TV stations, and the TV drama part cooperates with experienced large companies.

Xu Hui and Huang Wen are very clear that although the studio is currently very good, it is only a new type of company, and Huayi still occupies the share capital, so there is no need to insist on independent production.

Closing the notebook, Xu Hui turned on the TV.

The Spring Festival Gala has not yet arrived, and the motherland is broadcasting to welcome the Spring Festival.

It's boring.

……

It's true that you miss your relatives every festive season.

To be honest, Xu Hui has almost forgotten many things in the original time and space, after all, a long time has passed, and there is nothing particularly worth remembering.

He didn't have a very good relationship with his parents, and when he was three years old, they divorced, and no one wanted him to drag the oil bottle, so he simply returned to his grandmother, which is also the biggest reason why he doesn't believe in love at all in his human nature.

Many years ago, Xu Hui also fell in love a few times, but unfortunately, most of them ended in tragedy.

After more than an hour of his thoughts flying, Xu Hui returned to reality.

The faces of Zhu Jun and Dong Qin appeared on the small screen.

The Spring Festival Gala has begun.

The Spring Festival Gala in 09, although it has been criticized in various ways, there is an Uncle Benshan worth looking forward to.

It's like the next few sessions, and even the finale is gone.

Uncle Benshan has all kinds of problems, and even rumored to be 'black-related', with 3,000 catties of gold at home, immigration, discrimination against fat people, and so on.

But people are still the leaders of the domestic sketch industry.

After the Shanhaiguan, who doesn't know Zhao Benshan, it's not just talking!

Even Wong Kar-wai had to find Zhao Benshan to make a cameo in "The Grandmaster", otherwise, his movies would not be sold in the Northeast.

As for Xiao Shen Yang, it can only be said that he occupies the light of the Spring Festival Gala.

More than half of the people in China know about this capable man through the Spring Festival Gala, and his cheap and swishing temperament is really in line with the vulgar aesthetics of the public.

So, he was on fire!

is like Zhou Libo, without the intervention of the TV station, he is a folk artist, without Shanghai Satellite TV, no matter how good he Zhou Libo is, he can only be a little famous in the Shanghai circle.

With the media's propaganda intervention, of course, a person's reputation can be infinitely amplified, but unfortunately, the audience is always picky about artists, there is nothing new, and just eating the old book can no longer meet the needs of the public.

Therefore, Xiao Shen Yang and Zhou Libo were only popular for a while.

But Guo Degang has been prosperous until now.

It's the same with directing, Chen Kaige won the Cannes Palme d'Or back then, the absolute first domestic director, and an unprecedented achievement.

Then, "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", "Butterfly Dance in the World" and "Wuji", one is more speechless than the other, and one is worse than the other.

Even "Mei Lanfang", which mobilized so many resources, is still a mediocre work, and as for "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain", it was directly rated as a bad movie.

Therefore, people suspect that "Farewell My Concubine" was filmed by his father.

Director Chen was very angry and showed the original scene record...

Of course, we believe that Brother Chen Kai was once talented, but now he has become more and more mediocre, which is also an indisputable fact.

If Director Chen can come up with a work that is not inferior to "Farewell My Concubine", or a movie that is equivalent to that classic, I think these rumors will definitely be self-defeating!

When the bell rang at twelve o'clock, Xu Hui came to the balcony and looked up, countless bright fireworks fluttered over BJ City, accompanied by the small Shenyang in the house, 'Shandandan flowers bloom red and gorgeous...'

In 2008, it really passed!
