Chapter 35: The Celebration Banquet

"Xiaolong, this is a situation that all companies have to face." Carl couldn't help but smile bitterly, the release date of "The Police and the Thief" is scheduled for 12.01, which belongs to the Christmas schedule, and there are many films released during this time, but the theater chain is indeed fixed, and the situation of more monks and less porridge happens every year: "The theaters that our company has grabbed are not less, 1000 theaters, and each theater has a screening hall." Liang Xiaolong couldn't help frowning, 1,000 theaters is indeed not a few, but this is two-thirds less than the 3,000 theaters he requested: "Carl, is there a way to increase theaters, or ask other distribution companies to help with distribution?" Carl shook his head and said, "Unless we can squeeze the eight giants out of the theater, but they are not enough, then they will give it to us?" Now the only way is to wait, so many films are released in the same period of time, and bad movies will be painted in three or four days or a week, and we can only wait for them to be painted, and then divide the vacated theater resources. ”

"Then you prepare, the theater chain is not afraid of more, eat as much as possible." Liang Xiaolong said: "Also, our film is about to start post-production, have you arranged this aspect?" Don't get out of the basket again. Carl said: "Don't worry, the company is fully equipped, Danny as an editor and composer are also invited, and when it is finished, it will be able to start work immediately." Liang Xiaolong asked again: "Is our company's logo designed at the beginning?" Karl said: "It's done, according to your requirements, in the abyss, the five-clawed divine dragon soars into the sky, and then coils above the nine heavens." Liang Xiaolong nodded: "That's good, you go and get busy, I'm going to start work here." ”

The chase and fight began, and the actions on the first day were relatively simple, passing through crowds and low obstacles, with Wu Jing's skills, he was completely competent, and Brandon could do it, but Brandon's movements were relatively stiff and lacked the free and easy beauty of parkour, so Liang Xiaolong still chose to let the stuntman replace, this stuntman was strictly screened out, his body shape was similar to Brandon, and he was wearing a wig and makeup, and it was difficult to see that he was a stuntman from the side. But the next day, the action to be filmed was much more difficult, chasing into a small alley, Wu Jing and Brandon had to stage scenes of climbing over walls and climbing tall buildings, these actions would not have been possible to complete without long-term professional training. Of course, you can also choose to hang the wire, but then the action will become very fake, and the audience can see it at a glance. So this scene that should have been busy with Wu Jing and Brandon turned into Liang Xiaolong and the stuntman jumping up and down on the set.

"Pretty honest." In this regard, Rachel said that she was quite satisfied, although the actions made by Liang Xiaolong were quite difficult, the danger factor was within the controllable range. Liang Xiaolong smiled: "There is a baby you staring at the side, how dare you!" Rachel was stunned: "Then you dare if I'm not on the side?" Liang Xiaolong hurriedly said: "Slip of the tongue, serious slip of the tongue, for the sake of you, I can't do those dangerous actions." Rachel giggled, pleased with the results of her training.

On the third day, the chase scene continued, but it was also the last day, and after filming this chase scene, "The Police and the Thief" could be completed. And in the end, a shot of stealing the god is also very difficult, during the run, there is a probe chasing after him, and two young people walking side by side are facing him, and the stealing god rushes over quickly, and then says: "It seems that it is not possible to come up with a trick." He took out two bottles of super watering and smashed them on the ground, and then put his hands on the shoulders of the two young people and somersaulted, and when he turned over, a young woman came over with a stroller, and he had to do another somersault over the stroller.

"It's hard for me to assess the risk factor of this action." Rachel also felt that Liang Xiaolong should be able to complete this action, but still reminded him appropriately: "Just be careful, if you get hurt, be careful that I am in a hurry with you." Liang Xiaolong comforted: "Don't worry, compared to the action of stepping on a banana peel, this is just a small fight." "Because of the cultivation experience in his previous life, after more than half a year of hard training, the level of Liang Xiaolong's inner fist is close to that of his previous life, with extremely strong explosiveness, and his body is flexible and balanced, so it is not difficult to complete such an action.

"Xiaolong, the camera is angled, it's time to start." Filming such a scene is also a challenge for the photographer, the speed of the camera must be consistent with the speed of Liang Xiaolong's running, and finally when Liang Xiaolong makes a somersault, he must also be able to lock on to Liang Xiaolong's figure. And, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the shot, Danny also brought in two more cameras to capture the footage from three angles at the same time.

"Then let's start, I'll finish it first, and then Wu Jing will shoot a few more shots that need to show his face." Liang Xiaolong posed for a specific shot, ran forward at the same speed as the camera propulsion, threw down two bottles of super glue, kicked with force under his feet, pressed his hand on the shoulder, pushed the stroller, and then flipped, landed steadily, and when he landed, he had to make a specific move, so that he could be spliced with Wu Jing's movements: "How is the effect?" Danny gave a thumbs up: "Awesome, you'll know for yourself if you see it yourself." ”

Liang Xiaolong watched it once, and he was indeed very satisfied with his performance, of course, thanks to Danny's ability to capture the picture, otherwise it would be difficult for even the wonderful performance to be put on the screen: "Okay, after shooting the rest of the dialogue, the film is finished." The shot on the right is very simple, the probe stepped on the super glue, the foot is sticky, and the stealing god comes back again: "Policeman, you are very interesting, let's continue to play when you have time, bye bye!" After speaking, he disappeared into the crowd, and the probe scolded hatefully: "We're not done!" ”

"Perfect! The celebration banquet is ready, no one will be left behind, we will not get drunk today! Liang Xiaolong waved his hand, leaving the props team to pack up their things, and the others drove to the bar in a mighty manner, and the props team arrived later. After more than 50 days of overtime, the crew has already been busy, which will be rare to relax, and everyone is looking for a wine object with a wine glass. Wu Jing, a northern man, was even more arrogant, and found Brandon with a wine bottle: "Man, I kicked you so much during the shooting, and I apologize to you today with this glass of wine." Brandon laughed, "Okay, but one cup is enough, and three glasses are enough." Wu Jing smiled: "It seems that you have to fight me today?" Brandon said, "How is that possible?" My target is Xiaolong, this guy has abused us on the set for so long, why don't you have to abuse him at the wine table once today. Wu Jing agreed: "That's right, you go first, I'll take the back." ”

It's not just the two of them who have this thought, the crew is aiming at Liang Xiaolong today, but Liang Xiaolong doesn't realize it, this will sweep his eyes, and out of the corner of his eye, he just saw Kayla sneaking a bottle of wine and walking towards Jessica, Liang Xiaolong was almost not frightened, and hurriedly went over and lifted the girl: "Girl, you should drink a drink." Kayla was not afraid and smiled slyly, "I did it for Jessica." Liang Xiaolong scolded with a smile: "Jessica is not of the legal drinking age, it must be you bad guy who instigated her." The little girl stared: "Uncle Xiaolong, the legal drinking age in the United States is 20 years old, how can you drink at the age of nineteen?" ”

Liang Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "I am Chinese, not American." The little girl immediately turned into a pitiful look and begged: "Uncle Xiaolong, everyone is so happy today, you just let me taste the taste of wine, okay?" Liang Xiaolong didn't seem to have swept everyone's interest: "Okay, you are only allowed to have a drink, if you dare to get drunk, I will throw you here." The little girl hurriedly said: "Uncle Xiaolong won't." Liang Xiaolong rubbed the little girl's head: "Go ahead, just don't get yourself drunk." ”

"You, sooner or later, you'll spoil this girl, be careful that Will will settle accounts with you." Rachel walked over with a smile: "There's not very good news, do you want to hear it?" Liang Xiaolong glanced at her: "You seem to be a little gloating?" Baby, we should be on the same page, you know? Say, what's the bad news? Rachel said: "Tonight, the crew is united to get you drunk." Liang Xiaolong said indifferently: "Don't be afraid, it's a big deal that you carry me home." Rachel giggled, "Think beautiful, if you're drunk, I'll throw you on the road." ”

Rachel's information was very accurate, and before Brandon could start acting, Julia and Danny came over with wine bottles first, and Julia handed a bottle of beer to Liang Xiaolong: "Someone said that men who drink cows are also very attractive, and today you little peacock will try to open the screen to see how strong your charm is." Liang Xiaolong immediately chose to go to waste: "I've also heard that someone admires the man who drinks baijiu the most, Danny, you have to go get a bottle of baijiu." Danny laughed, "I've heard Julia say that someone once said that a good man doesn't treat his stomach badly, and unfortunately, I'm a good man." Rachel obviously knew about this, and couldn't help laughing: "I don't want to say anything, you living treasures blow a bottle." ”

Liang Xiaolong can't drink liquor, but when he drinks beer, he has absolutely nothing to say about the amount of alcohol, he blows it, and then stands on the table with a wine bottle: "Guys, I heard that you are going to get me drunk tonight?" It's not that I despise you, I'll get you drunk before you get drunk on me, who will come first? Rachel was secretly amused, this guy's arrogance was definitely pretended, and he was going to fight with everyone to drink, obviously like pouring himself some wine first, and then taking the opportunity to urinate. However, Liang Xiaolong's move attracted applause from everyone, and they praised this young boss for being arrogant and pure.

Brandon walked over with a wine bottle in one hand and a wine glass in the other: "Xiaolong, toast to the happy cooperation!" Liang Xiaolong drank it all in one gulp, and Brandon said again: "Cheers to the box office hit!" Liang Xiaolong glanced at him, and scolded with a smile: "Yes, after being with me for so long, you will learn our Chinese wine table culture, just one glass, want to find me to fight wine, and wait until after customs clearance." There are not many people in the crew, but there are definitely a lot, more than forty, a bottle of beer is divided into four glasses, ten bottles down, although Liang Xiaolong is not drunk, but he is also drunk enough, drunk and hazy, he touched the bathroom, Rachel hurriedly went over to help, but as soon as he entered the bathroom, Liang Xiaolong became lively again: "Finally get rid of that group of livestock." Rachel laughed, "It's so good that you almost cheated me." Liang Xiaolong said helplessly: "Aren't they all forced?" Knowing that they are going to get me drunk, I am still there to ravage this herd of animals, how stupid am I! ”

Rachel waved her hand: "So what now?" You can't stay in the bathroom all the time, can you? Liang Xiaolong said: "It's okay, I'll pretend to be drunk for a while, and then you help me out." Rachel said, "Go back so early?" Don't talk to them more? Liang Xiaolong smiled strangely: "Go back to what, just open a room, and then ...... Hey hey ......"
