Su Wei's experience is an experience that most international students have.

She boasted that she would know more about the North American student market than Chu Xiao, but to make a drama that was win-win in terms of word-of-mouth and ratings, she also didn't have the confidence.

"You don't have to hold me."

"Director Su knows a lot about film and television equipment companies in China and the United States, so he must have done his homework in this area. If you want to do a good job of customizing Chinese dramas, you need to spend more time researching. ”

"There is nothing wrong with this, the correct choice of preliminary preparation is the guarantee of smooth start-up shooting."

It's more important to think about how to do it than to just bury your head in it.

When it comes to his views on production and shooting, Su Wei's expression has completely changed.

Chu Xiao looked at her and listened to her talk about her admiration for her idol Ang Lee, and how director Ang Lee did a good job of cultural integration in the conflict. Ang Lee is a director of both Eastern and Western cultures, and his cultural presentation in the "Family Trilogy". made Su Wei aware of the concept of inclusive culture, which also deeply influenced her creative concept.

Davis likes beautiful and thoughtful women, and the three of them have a great conversation. Davis also talked about his past stereotypes of Chinese and Chinese Americans, and during the period when he was hospitalized after a fight with Chen Xize, Chen Xize brainwashed him to export too many excellent Chinese works, which gradually broke his stereotype.

Chen Xize and Lu Zheng discussed the purchase of equipment. This set of equipment, hardware plus software, costs more than 4 million, but this is not included in the labor cost.

"Many directors tend to use their own equipment, and they may not be able to get started immediately, so when we purchase this set of equipment, do we need to sign a director? Flying back and forth from Shanghai to Los Angeles, do we have to increase our budget? ”

"Don't consider the matter of signing a director."

"I heard that Guwen Pictures has begun to cultivate its own team, so signing people can better ensure our competitiveness, right?"

"There's no need, the director only signs the project for cooperation, and there is no need to sign people."

"So what if we buy these equipment, if the director or the cinematographer doesn't want to use it?" Lu Zheng raised his concerns.

"First of all, this set of equipment is indeed more advanced than the current equipment in China, but you don't need to worry about the director and cinematographer not using these equipment." In Su Wei's view, Lu Zheng's worries are simply made out of nothing, professional directors and cinematographers, as long as they do a little research, they can quickly get started.

Chu Xiao listened to it on the side, and then guessed Lu Zheng's intentions. Naturally, departmental budgets need to be increased from scratch. And this time the purchase of equipment was personally purchased by Chen Xize, and Su Wei helped inquire about the lowest price in advance. The trip to the road does not account for half of the benefits, and the signing person naturally becomes a reason, but it is just to increase the budget.

"Actually, this matter is easy to solve, isn't the technical department of Dawn Pictures good at photography? And you have your own short video department, although their technology is not to the extent that they can shoot film and television dramas, but it is no problem to learn technology, if the director of the follow-up cooperation really encounters something that is not easy to solve, then consider coming to Los Angeles? ”

"Isn't that a waste of time!" Lu Zheng still wants to try to persuade Chen Xize to sign a special agency contract for director and screenwriter, "Therefore, the variety show before Wen Film signed more than a dozen writers, so the Department of Literature has an advantage in content output, and Chenxi should also sign its own director." Of course you don't understand this, Mr. Chen, take a step to speak? ”

The person in charge is Chen Xize, Lu Zheng originally planned to take advantage of this business trip to persuade Chen Xize to expand the brokerage business, but he didn't expect that just after opening the topic, two women came to make trouble. Lu Zheng didn't like Su Wei in the morning, he already had North American procurement resources, although Chen Xize also went to see it, but in the end he chose the film and television equipment company recommended by Su Wei.

Chen Xize: "They are all my friends, what can I say directly." ”

Lu Zheng: "After all, the production of Chu is from Guangqi Pictures, and some words may not be convenient. ”

Chu Xiao stared at Lu Zheng for a few seconds, but he didn't force it, he took Su Wei's hand and said, "Let's go for a walk on the beach." ”

Chu Xiao and Su Wei walked by the beach one after the other.

At night, the houses along the coast are lit up sporadically, and the milky white moonlight soaks the vast city and the boundless sea.

Walking along the seaside, Chu Xiao took the initiative to ask: "Su Wei...... You shouldn't like Chen Xize, right? You're just friends, aren't you? ”

Su Wei walked forward, stepping on a long series of footprints on the beach. Chu Xiao followed behind, listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach, waiting for Su Wei's answer.

"What you actually want to ask is, why don't I look at you very well?"

Chu smiled at Nunu's mouth, not very pleasing to the eye, she really didn't think so.

"Chen Xize and I are alumni, and we became friends because of our co-production, and I became friends with Chen Xiao when she came to Los Angeles for vacation. I've always heard them talk about you, and to be honest, I was quite envious at the time. You're neighbors and you've been playing together since you were a kid. "Su Wei is an only daughter, her parents are engaged in foreign trade, and her business is getting better and better, but the time for her family is getting less and less.

"But it doesn't make you look unpleasant, does it?"

"Chen Xiao is an extremely kind and innocent girl, and she was not in a good mood when she came to Los Angeles for a vacation. I accompanied her to visit all the tourist attractions in Los Angeles, and I also took her to watch many Hollywood classics, and told her how many celebrities relieve emotional stress. Su Wei walked back to Chu Xiao and sat down, looking up at the moon with her, "At that time, I was just shooting some student homework, but I agreed with Chen Xiao that when I become a director who can be favored by the producer in the future, I must cooperate with her when I have the opportunity, but now, there is no way to keep the contract." ”

Su Wei's eyes were slightly red, but he couldn't really see it in the night.

"Actually, it's not really that I don't like you, it's just that because I saw you, I subconsciously thought of Chen Xiao again. I can't tell you this uncomfortable feeling, I'm embarrassed during the day, I'll show you your face. ”

"I'm just a little puzzled, I don't know where I offended you, and I thought you liked Chen Xize and treated me as a rival. Now that I've heard you say it, I understand it. ”

Chu Xiao thought of Chen Xiao, and he still felt sorry in his heart.

"I was inexperienced in too many things at that time, and I was very busy every day. If I could do it all over again, I would never worry so much about it anymore, because work is nothing compared to getting together with friends. ”

"I think that writing a story about Chen Xiao is also to make up for regrets. In the future, if we have the opportunity, we can work together. ”

"That's for sure."

The past of the deceased, the memories of the living.

Su Wei grabbed Chu Xiao's shoulders, and the two leaned together, thinking about the same person.
