Children's Day is over, Xu Hengzhou and Liu Yiqian, it must be a Children's Day for the whole crew!

Not to mention anything else, the children's set menus in the major fast food restaurants are enough.

Of course, the children's menu isn't the point, it's the cute little toys that are the focus.

It's not just children who like it, but adults who are happy to see it, right?

Liu Yiqian, in particular, has collected several sets of small dolls!

Xu Hengzhou even felt that he had found a business opportunity in it.

You must know that when he was a child, he played with the kind of blind box that was a dime at a time at the commissary in front of the school.

The most powerful thing is that you can draw a dollar for a dime, that is, there is a grid in 100 squares, and there is a dollar.

Most of the time, though, you won't be able to draw that dollar.

Usually, it is generally an empty shell.

Otherwise, it's just a small snack, or a small card.

Either it's a beautiful glass bead or a glass ornament.

Anyway, Xu Hengzhou never drew that dollar.

Of course, the business opportunity he found was not that, that was already all over the streets.

Xu Hengzhou thought of a very, very popular thing in later generations, called "drawing blind boxes".

To what extent are many people fanatical about drawing blind boxes?

It is said that many of the staff who work in the blind box store spend their monthly wages and spend them directly in the store.

You know, it costs sixty or seventy yuan to draw a blind box, and if you want to collect a set, and it is the kind in Europe, then you have to be 1,000 yuan less.

If not......

That can't be stopped.

Xu Hengzhou told Liu Yiqian about his idea, and instantly got the support of the other party.

The response was much greater than in the past when he said which film he wanted to invest in

"What?"

"!"

The two happily reached an agreement and decided to start a small entrepreneurial project.

"Draw a blind box!"

And then the point comes, what to smoke?

Liu Yiqian volunteered that she could do design drawings and design some dolls.

Xu Hengzhou said that he could provide creativity.

It's mainly marketing creativity, for example, there will be several special blind boxes in a set, hidden models or something.

Although he doesn't like to smoke blind boxes, the people around him love to smoke and listen to a lot, so he wrote down some.

Liu Yiqian understands this matter from another angle, because there is already an industrial chain of blind boxes in other countries, and she plans to collect some professional information and information, and then see how to operate it better.

In short, this little business was so happily decided.

And what makes Liu Yiqian even happier is that in addition to acting and life, she now has one more thing that she can discuss and complete with Xu Hengzhou.

She loves this state and is able to do more new things and experience more things with the people she likes.

And Xu Hengzhou's statement gave her more inspiration.

On this day, Liu Yiqian ran over to Xu Hengzhou with great interest and said, "Xu Hengzhou, I have a small business here, do you want to do it with me?" ”

Small business?

Xu Hengzhou is now more interested in things that can make money.

Then after he listened to Liu Yiqian's so-called small business, he was a little ......

You told me that buying a piece of land and going to a playground is a small business?

Xu Hengzhou: "You wait for me to invest in a few more movies first." ”

Liu Yiqian said that it doesn't matter, she is not in a hurry, she mainly thinks that the blind boxes are designed, so she can take advantage of the situation to build a theme playground.

Then go out of the surrounding area to form a perfect industrial chain.

Xu Hengzhou felt that Liu Yiqian's idea was very good, but it was a bit of a money burner.

After listening to Liu Yiqian's imagination silently, he suddenly asked her: "Will you go to the viewing party before the release of "Scorching Sun"?" ”

Liu Yiqian was surprised: "Has this movie been edited?" Post-production is also done? Didn't you say that there were some problems in the process of editing? ”

During this time, all her attention has been on the crew of "33 Days of Broken Love", and she almost forgot about the movie starring Xu Hengzhou, but she vaguely remembered this movie, because of editing problems, it was not released for more than half a year.

After Xu Hengzhou finished filming "Scorching Sun", he went to shoot "Big Soldier", and then "33 Days of Broken Love".

But he has always been concerned about the progress of the movie "Scorching Sun".

Especially when this movie was reviewed by the relevant departments, and the results were always unreviewed, he was still more worried.

The original movie was released for a long time because it couldn't be reviewed.

Xu Hengzhou: Their version has already made trade-offs in some shots, but some core content can never be deleted.

So they can only edit it, upload it, and then move on to it after they get the approval comments.

In this small half a year, I have basically spent all of my time on this.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and they finally kept themselves, and most of the things they wanted to express only cut some corners and corners, and finally passed the review.

But it's one thing to pass the review, and in the end it's another thing whether the quality of the edited movie is still the same as before.

So Cao Baoping, the director of "Scorching Sun", organized such an internal viewing meeting.

The kind that can't bring family members very internally.

But Liu Yiqian is not only a family member, but also an investor.

So the main personnel of this viewing party are as follows:

Director: Cao Baoping.

The assistant director laughed dangerously.

Screenwriter and original author Su Yigua.

The main actors Xu Hengzhou and Duan Yihong.

The main investor, Liu Yiqian.

The other two main actors have already joined the group to shoot other films, and they don't have time to attend.

Cao Baoping found a very private screening room and reviewed the version of the film after their editing was played.

He was tinkering with the projector by himself.

Xu Yigua is a person who doesn't like to talk very much except about his works.

Duan Yihong was very serious when he wasn't smiling, and he was looking at the big screen at this moment.

The room was too quiet.

Xu Hengzhou and Liu Yiqian glanced at each other a few times, and after meeting their eyes, they didn't dare to speak first, but they both smiled inexplicably.

Still Duan Yihong broke away from the state of trance, glanced at Xu Hengzhou and Liu Yiqian, and then at Xu Yigua, and said:

"Do you have time this Sunday?"

Xu Hengzhou and Liu Yiqian glanced at each other and nodded: "Yes." ”

Although Xu Yigua said what lies she usually did, she still responded positively when others accosted her: "I'm sorry, I have something to do this Sunday." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine." Duan Yihong coughed, his expression was rare and a little unnatural, and he said his purpose:

"I'm proposing on Sunday, so I want to find more people to help me stay up."

Xu Hengzhou never expected this to happen, he was only stunned for a while, then happily congratulated, and then asked:

"Is it the kind of surprise that came out of nowhere? Would you like to prepare something for you? ”

Duan Yihong shook his head: "No, I discussed it with my girlfriend, I proposed to her on Sunday, and then he will make a look and dress beautifully, and then I will hire a photographer to take pictures of the whole process." ”

He said that it was a little embarrassing: "The main thing is that my girlfriend is much younger than me, and she likes this kind of big scene, so ...... Would you mind being featured in a marriage proposal video? My girlfriend may post it on Weibo, and I will repost it as well. ”

Oh, Xu Hengzhou understands, he and Liu Yiqian are being called to be tool people.

But he really doesn't have anything to mind, although the formalism is a bit strong, but in the end, it's a marriage proposal, and it's good to be happy.

Xu Hengzhou and Liu Yiqian both said they had no opinion, Duan Yihong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he also went out this time, in order to make the marriage proposal a grand and lively point, he found a lot of friends in the circle, and those who didn't know each other sent out invitations.

It can be said that he pulled down his skin, just to make his girlfriend laugh.

Xu Hengzhou and Liu Yiqian can feel the change in Duan Yihong's mentality, Xu Hengzhou feels that Duan Yihong is quite difficult, but fortunately, Qianqian does not pursue these, and she has not said how grand the wedding will be in the future, and invite half of the entertainment industry to come or something.

Install the latest version. 】

As soon as he thought about it, he was slapped in the face in an instant.

I received a text message on my mobile phone, and I saw that it was sent by Liu Yiqian: "Brother Duan loves his girlfriend so much!" If you look at people, why don't you learn it? Otherwise, when we get married, we will invite the entire entertainment industry, and then do a live broadcast, so that the whole world can witness the love between the two of us. ”

Xu Hengzhou: ......

He thought for a moment, and cautiously replied tentatively: "Are you serious?" ”

Liu Yiqian replied with a grimacing expression, and then posted: "Fake! How embarrassing it would be if you really did that. ”

This concludes the topic.

Although Liu Yiqian really didn't think about making her wedding so grand and exaggerated, she was also quite envious of Duan Yihong's girlfriend.

Xu Hengzhou vaguely felt this.

He was suddenly blessed to his heart, Liu Yiqian may not want such a grand scene, but every girl should have an object in her heart who wants to declare to the world that he loves herself, a ritual.

If this is what Liu Yiqian wants, of course he will not leave regrets to the other party.

Director Cao Baoping tinkered for a long time before he got the projector right.

Then I returned to my seat, and immediately after the transition animation on the big screen, such as the distributor who didn't even have the opening chapter, I directly opened the first scene of the movie.

Everyone immediately put aside all their thoughts.

Concentrate on the movie.

Xu Hengzhou had heard that this movie had been edited many times before, and then he came to this viewing party with a hint of concern.

But he found that as the plot of the movie deepened, he found that the logic and rhythm of the whole film were very silky, and he didn't feel that anything was maliciously edited.

And when he saw that there was a part of the plot that was different from the one described in the script, he felt that the editing of that place was just right, and there was a kind of blank effect, which could make people spontaneously explore the plot and the truth.

Xu Hengzhou couldn't help but feel that his money was worth it, their movie couldn't be released because of editing problems, and Cao Baoping said that he was good at making movies, but editing was really not his strong point, so he proposed an idea to Xu Hengzhou three months ago.

It's going to be edited anyway, so why don't you spend a lot of money to hire the best editors in the industry to edit the film.

You must know that for a film and television work, post-production is very important, and editing is the top priority.

It's just that for most film and television works, the editor is basically the director's marionette, and the editor cuts out the content of which piece the director wants

And those real editing masters have no less understanding of the work than half of the director, they can accurately know which shot to choose, how to change the rhythm of editing, in order to better highlight the characteristics of the characters and the ups and downs of the plot.

Generally speaking, though, such editing masters are very expensive.

So Director Cao Baoping was a little apprehensive when he put forward this idea.

Originally, due to various reasons, the budget he wanted here was to add and increase, and it was originally a movie that could be done at a small cost, but he was stunned to make it super high.

If the film doesn't do well, it won't do well at the box office......

Well, not only will the money Xu Hengzhou invest in waste, but his own career will also be affected.

This is one of the reasons why he offered to hire a professional editor master.

Because he really couldn't hold back, he was really audited and didn't know how to do it at all.

And the pre-investment of this movie has already invested so much, in order for the work to be successful, it shouldn't be bad to invest some more.

Xu Hengzhou also thought so, the first nine hundred and ninety-nine steps were gone, and it was not bad for this step.

So he was only distressed for a few seconds, and then spent the money.

And in addition, when choosing an editor at the beginning, Xu Hengzhou and Cao Baoping hesitated again and again, and made a trade-off between an editor who edited neatly and cut a lot of martial arts films and criminal investigation films, and another editor who claimed to be able to reduce the temperature of all films.

They were also very entangled at the time, but in the end, they still felt that their story as a whole was actually warm on the surface, even scorching, and only by going deep into the core of the plot could we see the indifference and cruelty in it.

So they choose the latter.

Now it seems that the money is well spent.

The whole film retains the complete theme, and even because of the editor's technique, Xu Hengzhou sees a trace of warmth from this movie.

It's magical.

This warmth and the indifferent story of "Scorching Sun" unexpectedly harmonize.

And it is precisely because of this trace of warmth that the characters are more vivid, and Xu Hengzhou can't help but sigh deeply in his heart when he sees the ending of each of the characters.

Beneath the warmth lies boundless coldness.
