Half a year has passed since the filming of the self-laughing and arrogant movie started, and when he saw Xu Qing calling, Qi Ming vaguely guessed what this call was going to tell him.

"Director Xu, I haven't spoken for a long time." Connected to the phone, Qi Ming said.

"Mr. Qi, forgive me, the crew is too busy, and the movie didn't make any results, I'm really embarrassed to report to Mr. Qi." Xu Qing said apologetically.

After hearing this, Qi Ming smiled and said, "I can understand Director Xu's mood, that sentence just now is just a joke, besides, Director Xu still calls me brother, I also call Director Xu Brother Xu, a mouthful of Director Xu and a mouthful of Mr. Qi's, which is quite unfamiliar." ”

"Then I'll call Brother Qi." Xu Qing said in a very excited tone, and after speaking, Xu Qing continued, "Brother Qi, this time I made this call, I think you should know what it means." ”

"Roughly guessed a point, it must have something to do with the laughing and arrogant movie." Qi Ming said.

"Haha......" Xu Qing laughed after hearing this, and there were a lot of emotions mixed in the laughter, including surprises, pleasures, the smoothness of completing a heartfelt matter, and the indescribable excitement.

"Laughing at the big movie, Xu Qing lived up to Brother Qi's entrustment, and the filming was finished!" After Xu Qing smiled, he said with emotion in his tone.

Xu Qing's mood, Qi Ming understands very well, this is the performance after a long period of depression, after completing what he thinks in his heart.

Before the start of the filming, Xu Qing was regarded as a director who made a lot of money, so Xu Qing almost fell out of the ranks of directors, because no one dared to give him a large investment to make a movie.

Now, with the title of director who shoots anything, he has completed a movie with a good script and excellent actors, how can he not be excited?

"Guessed though. But I'm still very surprised to hear this news, Brother Xu, you've bothered for the past six months. Qi Ming said.

Xu Qing, who was already very excited, suddenly became a little stumped after hearing Qi Ming's words, because he had been a director for many years. No owner has ever said to him like this, although "You bothered" is only a short four words, but it makes Xu Qing's heart full of warmth.

With a touched mood, Xu Qing secretly swore at this moment that in this life, the owner who insisted on saying to himself the four words "You bothered" would not run away.

"Xiaoao's script and investment are all made by you, Brother Qi, I, Xu Qing, am just a person who filmed it, I believe. In addition to me, there are many directors who can shoot with laughter, but Brother Qi chose me, the director who shoots what he loses, and Brother Qi is grateful to me for this kindness. Xu Qing said.

"Only you can make this movie, and only you can make its essence, so I am proud of this movie. It was its luck to meet Brother Xu. It's also my Qi Ming's luck. Qi Ming said.

After listening to what Qi Ming said, although Xu Qing didn't understand why Qi Ming said this, he was moved in his heart.

"Brother Qi really thinks too highly of me, and being able to shoot this movie is the luckiest thing in my life." Xu Qing said.

"We're really a little suspicious of touting each other." Qi Ming said with a smile after hearing this.

Invisibly, Qi Ming's words brought the distance between him and Xu Qing a lot closer. And Xu Qing was very excited, and he relaxed a lot because of Qi Ming's joke.

"It's a little bit." Xu Qing said with a smile, and after speaking, Xu Qing said again, "Brother Qi, I have cut out a few versions of the trailer of the laughing and arrogant movie, you can take a look at it later." That's more appropriate. ”

"Okay," Qi Ming said, and then Qi Ming told Xu Qing his email address.

"Regarding Xiaoao's release time, does Brother Qi have any plans?" Writing down Qi Ming's mailbox, Xu Qing asked.

After hearing this, Qi Ming thought for a while and said, "What does Brother Xu think?" I don't know anything about that. ”

"That's the case, Xiaoao's big movie has now been handed over to the relevant departments for review, presumably there will be a reply within a week, and when the review comes out, it will be early November, this is a moment when there are not many blockbusters, if it is released at this time, Xiaoao will appear unique, which will invisibly add a lot of potential box office to Xiaoao's movie, but this also has disadvantages, that is, it is not a popular schedule, and its influence is limited." Xu Qing said.

Qi Ming listened to Xu Qing's analysis silently and did not interject.

"In addition to this choice, there are two other options, that is, the New Year's Day schedule and the New Year's schedule, two months later, it will be the popular schedule of New Year's Day, when the time comes, there will be a lot of blockbusters, many foreign giants, will also choose this popular schedule for broadcasting, if Xiaoao chooses this period, the disadvantage is that it will not be so conspicuous, because there are too many blockbusters, the advantage is that New Year's Day is a popular schedule, Xiaoao's influence will expand a lot, and if Xiaoao is causing a movie-watching boom, You may be able to reap unexpected and surprising results. ”

"The last choice is the first day of the Spring Festival, this period is undoubtedly the most tragic period of the film fight, because the first day of the new year is almost the moment when the whole people are on vacation, and everyone has worked hard for a year, they all want to treat themselves, watching movies or something is a common thing, if Xiaoao chooses this schedule, the disadvantages are the same as the New Year's Day schedule, and the advantages are the same." Xu Qing analyzed methodically.

After listening to Xu Qing's analysis, Qi Ming said, "Brother Xu thinks it would be better for Xiaoao to be released in that schedule?" ”

"My suggestion is to put it in the two popular schedules of New Year's Day and Spring Festival, because the quality of Xiaoao can only be reflected in these two schedules." Xu Qing said.

"Then do what Brother Xu wants." Qi Ming replied.

Xu Qing's choice, Qi Ming agrees very much, although Xiaoao will get higher attention when it is released in October, but without experiencing a cruel fight, the essence of Xiaoao's movie cannot be reflected.

"Then it's decided, I'll go back and discuss with Mo Fan to see if I choose the New Year's Day schedule or the Spring Festival stall." Xu Qing said, his tone full of anticipation.

Xiaoao's movie embodies too much of his hope and hard work, and how wonderful Xiaoao's movie is, Xu Qing firmly believes that everyone who has seen it can't help but be shocked and applauded, at this moment, he can't wait to see the picture of this film born in his hands soaring into the sky.

"That's it." Qi Ming said.

Then he said some related things, and Qi Ming hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Ming saw that there was an extra email in the mailbox.

Open the message. Qi Ming seemed to be back on the blue planet in an instant, because from the pre-reading pictures of the four trailers sent by Xu Qing, he suddenly recalled the amazement he was when he first saw the movie "The Undefeated East of the Proud Rivers and Lakes".

At this moment, Qi Ming's heart trembled a little.

Clicking on the first trailer with the mouse, Qi Ming found that it was a short monologue of Ren Yingying played by Guan Linlang.

In the video, Ren Yingying is dressed in Miao decorations. With a leather whip wrapped around his waist and a bamboo flute in his hand, he sat on the roof of the thatched hut, looking at the night sky and thinking about something.

"Linghu Chong, will you come?" Ren Yingying asked herself.

The next moment, the picture suddenly changed, and a fierce battle unfolded in the grass hut.

The trailer is only a short minute, but the one-minute trailer of Ren Yingying's monologue is cut very expressively, and the fit between static and dynamic is also just right. Qi Ming was fascinated by it.

After watching the first trailer, Qi Ming opened the second trailer.

The second video is the trailer of Ling Hu Chong played by Lian Bicheng, in the picture, Ling Hu Chong took the little junior sister to prepare to go to Niubei Mountain to retreat, but halfway through, the little junior sister's horse was killed by the sword qi of the Oriental Ronin.

This trailer and the first trailer are made with the same cutting technique, both switching between static and motion.

After watching these two videos, Qi Ming opened the third video.

As soon as this video was opened by Qi Ming, Qi Ming instantly felt that his goosebumps rose. Because with the familiar music in his ears, Dongfang played by Qing Yuxia appeared undefeated.

in the picture. Dongfang Undefeated, who was dressed as a man, had a veil on his face, and he flew from the top of a tree with a large fan in his hand, but at the moment of flying, the veil on Dongfang Undefeated's face was lifted by the branches, so he revealed Dongfang Undefeated's domineering and domineering face.

"Awesome!" Looking at the picture of the trailer, Qi Ming couldn't help but praise Xu Qing.

can cut out a few wonderful pictures of the laughing and arrogant movie at once. This point has to be admired by Qi Ming.

After watching the three trailers, Qi Ming began to watch the fourth trailer.

The last trailer is a collective cut by a group of actors, although the picture is still more than a minute, but it covers many highlights of the whole film.

"It's really hard to choose." After watching the four trailers, Qi Ming said secretly.

hesitated for a few minutes. In the end, Qi Ming simply stopped choosing, trailers, aren't there several versions? It's good to go together.

After making a decision, Qi Ming was ready to warm up for Xiaoao's big movie, so Qi Ming opened his Weibo/blog, ready to complete the promotion for Xiaoao's shooting.

But as soon as he opened Weibo/Bo, Qi Ming was attracted by two topics on the hot list.

"The filming of the film [Big Era] has been completed and is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, let's sue and talk about the private affairs of girlfriends in [Big Time]!"

"[Our Youth] has been completed, and the Spring Festival file will be released, come and talk about your youth."

Qi Ming didn't pay much attention to the hot list, but after seeing these two hot topics, Qi Ming stopped his eyes.

[Big Times] and [Our Youth] are from Huiteng Film and Television Investment Company and Huafei Film and Television Investment Company respectively, and these two investment companies have a bit of a holiday with Qi Ming, so when Qi Ming sees the names of these two films, he will instantly remember the situation of raising funds for the film "The Undefeated East" half a year ago.

Because these two companies are not optimistic about the movie "The Undefeated East of the Laughing Proud Rivers and Lakes", they asked for very excessive conditions when investing in the movie "The Undefeated East of the Laughing Proud Rivers and Lakes", which eventually led to the crowdfunding incident of the Undefeated Laughing Proud Rivers and Lakes East.

"It's a coincidence that it was completed at the same time." Qi Ming said with a smile.

While speaking, Qi Ming clicked on the blog posts on these two hot topics.

"Oye, I can finally see the [Great Era], I've been waiting for a long time, I love the original book very much, and the heroines in it make me love it."

"The Spring Festival stalls, I have to wait for three months, I can't wait for that, and I will take my husband to see it when the time comes."

"My boyfriend is stingy to death, and when the time comes, I must let him see, how do women in [Big Time] live, and women without luxury goods are considered women?"

"[Our Youth] is going to be released, it seems that the Spring Festival stalls are blessed, and when the time comes, I will miss my youth with my husband."

"It's finally time to wait, and when the time comes, we will definitely contribute to the box office, and youth is worth our nostalgia."

After reading some comments at random, Qi Ming was ready to quit the webpage without any mood swings, but he was attracted by a topic with a lot of likes.

"The protagonist of the crowdfunding event that made a lot of noise half a year ago laughed at the big movie, why didn't there be any movement at all, did you see the two highly anticipated popular movies of "Big Time" and "Our Youth", and didn't dare to take the lead? Agree with my statement of jacking. ”

"I'm also curious about the films that are going to be released before the Spring Festival, and some topics have been thrown out during this time, and even some films have thrown out trailers, but why is there no movement at all in the Xiaoao movie?"

"In the schedule before the Spring Festival, all the films released are popular films, and the Xiaoao movie is unpopular, I think I am afraid that the director and related people behind the Xiaoao movie are afraid that the Xiaoao movie will be buried in the popular schedule, so it is postponed."

"I guess it's over, what good things can be made out of the crowdfunded movie, I hope that the box office of the laughing movie will be dismal, and those who participate in the crowdfunding will not regret it."

"Whisper, Qiming has a lot of diehard fans of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", if you don't make it, you will be attacked."

"I heard that the investors who invested in the two films [Big Time] and [Our Youth] had a holiday with the crew of Xiaoaoda Movie, and it was said that these two investors did not invest money in Xiaoaoda Movie, so there was later crowdfunding."

"I have also seen the news of this statement, how good can a film that is not invested by film and television companies in the circle be? I really don't know if those who participate in crowdfunding are funny. ”

"It's really fake, it turned out that it was because of this, so at that time, the Laughing Proud Movie got crowdfunding!"

"Anyway, I didn't participate in crowdfunding, just sit back and wait for the time to watch a good show after the release of the big movie, if this movie loses miserably, I'll see how Qiming explains." (To be continued.) )
