Chapter 25: Post-production, finalized Spring Festival file

"It's finally finished."

"Thank you for your efforts over the past three months, and I would like to give you a toast."

At the finale banquet, Yang Sisi toasted everyone one by one on the weekend, treating everyone equally.

Because of Yang Sisi by his side, he didn't drink much on weekends after a round of drinking.

"Director Chen, I respect you."

finally came to Chen Dongwei's side, looked at him and smiled at him on the weekend, as if he had forgotten all the previous unpleasantness.

After the last incident, Chen Dongwei has changed a lot in the crew, basically there has been no conflict with the director again, and he has also had certain constraints on his apprentices.

Like Chen Dongwei, an old oilman who has been in the crew for many years, he has perfected his ability to serve dishes.

Although he is young on the weekend, he is extremely old and spicy, and he has a great chance of getting ahead in the entertainment industry in the future.

Instead of offending the weekend for a little thing, it is better to take away his temper, have a good relationship with him, and how to make the best profit, he is clear in his heart.

"If you want me to say, during the filming period, the hardest people are Producer Zhou and Boss Yang, they not only have to film, but also coordinate all aspects of work...... Therefore, I propose that everyone toast Producer Zhou and Boss Yang together. ”

Chen Dongwei's words, although he is suspected of sycophancy, are also telling the truth.

During the filming period, if it weren't for the seasoned handling of the weekend, relying on one Guo Fan alone would not be able to suppress the crew at all.

"Jing Zhou, Producer and Boss Yang."

"We are a rough man, but we are not blind, how hard Producer Zhou is, we all see in our eyes, he is the first to come to the crew every day, the last to leave, we can always take a day off for a week and a half, but Producer Zhou has never taken a vacation, what we admire most is Producer Zhou's spirit of hard work."

"Indeed, if you want to talk about hard work, we can't compare with Producer Zhou at all, we toast him."

Chen Dongwei's words were echoed by the others, and everyone raised their glasses to the weekend.

Yang Sisi quietly moved to the side, not wanting to steal his limelight, and looked at him deeply, this is what he deserves.

"Thank you!"

After the weekend was finished, he tilted his head very happily, and the wine in the glass fell down his throat and into his stomach.

Nine.

After the finale banquet ended, when the last group of people were sent away, the crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was completely disbanded.

"Okay, although the play is finished, our work is not over."

In the production process of a movie, shooting is only one part of it, and the next post-production is the most important thing.

Especially for a special effects-based movie like "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", it takes more energy than shooting in the later stage.

So although it was finished, they didn't have any ease at all on the weekend.

On the second day after the finale banquet, Zhou Zhou and Guo Fan flew to Yanjing and came to Tiangong Brilliant Later Company with a copy.

This is a cooperation that has been negotiated at the beginning of filming, and the next post-production of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will be handed over to Tiangong Brilliant to be responsible.

In addition to the later stage, the necessary warm-up publicity also had to keep up, so it was handed over to Yang Sisi to be responsible.

Under the division of labor and cooperation of the three people, the two lines are parallel, and they are in full swing to make the last effort for the three months.

……

Meanwhile.

Western Xinjiang.

Professor Wen's archaeological team, all the staff worked hard for more than half a month, but still did not decipher the text on the stele.

At this moment, a student suddenly ran in front of Professor Wen in a hurry.

"Professor...... The old blind man in the bazaar has returned. ”

"Coming back? That's great! ”

Before Professor Wen could speak, his students could not wait to let out a cheer.

The last time I learned from that old man that only the old blind man in the market in the whole of Western Xinjiang could decipher the words on the stone tablet, Professor Wen sent someone to the market to find it.

But when they went to the bazaar to inquire about it, they learned that the old blind man had gone out on a wandering.

A blind man going on a cloud tour?

Although Professor Wen's students were puzzled by this, Professor Wen thought the old blind man was a strange man.

Since the old blind man was gone, they had to rely on themselves to decipher the words on the stone tablet.

For half a month, they worked almost 24 hours a day to decipher the words on the stele.

Even dreaming at night, these words are in the dream.

Now that the old blind man is back, it means that he finally doesn't have to stare at the words on the stele every day and rack his brains to decipher the meaning of it.

"Hurry up and have someone bring him over...... Forget it, let's take it personally! ”

Professor Wen thought about it and felt that a strange person like the old blind man might have a strange personality, and it would be better to visit him in person.

The bazaar is not far from Professor Wen's camp, and it takes less than half an hour to drive there.

"Professor, that's the old blind man."

Professor Wen and his entourage came to the east side of the market, and a student pointed to a blind man wearing old sunglasses and black and white hair, sitting there with a stall.

"Yin and yang in the hexagram are good fortune and misfortune, and the destiny of heaven can be changed."

"Success or failure in the world asks ghosts and gods, and it is difficult to disobey people's will."

In front of the old blind man's stall, there is a pair of awesome couplets, which really has a bit of a master's demeanor.

Professor Wen watched from the street for a while, then walked quickly and sat down across from the old blind man.

"Ask for directions a hundred."

"Fortune telling, ten dollars."

Although the old blind man was blind, his ears were very sensitive, and Professor Wen went straight to the point as soon as he sat down.

“???”

"Why is asking for directions more expensive than fortune telling?"

The student standing behind Professor Wen suddenly asked puzzled when he heard the old blind man's words.

"Because you have been reduced to asking for directions from a blind man like me, it means that you must not be able to ask anyone else, so you can only come and ask me, a blind man."

"Since that's the case, then it's reasonable for me to open a higher price, right?"

The old blind man twisted the goatee under his chin and said solemnly.

“……”

The students behind Professor Wen were directly choked by the old blind man's words.

"Then why is fortune telling so cheap?"

However, Professor Wen, a student, obviously likes to be more serious, and continued to ask.

"You believe in fortune telling, which means that you have a defective intelligence, and I can't bear to cheat you too much."

The old blind man raised his head and pointed his face to the student who was speaking, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

“……”

The student behind Professor Wen immediately covered his face and burst into tears, and was told by a blind man that I was mentally retarded.

But what he said made sense, and I was powerless to refute it.

Professor Wen looked at it for a while, and felt that he didn't dare to determine whether this old blind man was a strange person for the time being, but he was definitely a wonderful person.

"Master, we don't ask for directions, and we don't tell our fortunes, we just want you to help you recognize something."

Professor Wen looked at the old blind man and said sincerely.

"Recognize something? You're not here to amuse the blind man, are you? ”

The old blind man frowned, and his tone was displeased.

"Yes, he's blind, what do you think?"

"Damn, we're not going to be deceived by the old man, are we?"

"Oh, we didn't even think of that!"

A few students behind Professor Wen immediately reacted, how should a blind man read and write?

"Master, it's better to be like this, our nature is similar to asking for directions, we give you a hundred yuan, and you can help recognize it, even if you can't recognize it, it doesn't matter."

After Professor Wen finished speaking, he took out a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet and placed it on the table.

"That's pretty much it."

As soon as the old blind man heard Professor Wen say to give money, he immediately smiled and wrinkled, touched the table with his right hand, and accurately put the banknote into his pocket.

Is he really blind?

The eyes of the students behind Professor Wen widened, wondering how he had touched the banknotes.

"Okay, if you want me to recognize something, take it out."

The old blind man took care of the money, then helped his sunglasses and spoke.

Professor Wen asked the small stone tablet to be taken out and placed in the hands of the old blind man.

"Hey, isn't this a rock......"

After the old blind man put his two hands on the stone tablet and groped for a while, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he asked in surprise, "Where did you get this thing from?" ”

Professor Wen and the students behind him were equally shocked when they heard the old blind man's words.

Judging from the old blind man's reaction, it seems that he really knows this stone tablet.

Professor Wen suddenly became interested, and his attitude towards the old blind man became more respectful, and he said: "Actually, we are an archaeological team, and this stele was dug out of the ground. ”

"The stele?"

When the old blind man heard Professor Wen call him that, he suddenly smiled.

"Master, do you really know the words on this stone tablet?"

The students behind Professor Wen immediately asked in shock.

The old blind man smiled strangely again, and said slowly, "This is not a text at all, but a map. ”

"Maps?"

Professor Wen was stunned, no wonder they didn't come up with results for more than half a month, and they got the wrong direction.

The crooked inscriptions on the stele turned out to be a pattern.

"You've been mistaken from the beginning, it's not a stone, it's made of a kind of animal bone."

"Its real name is called the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book."

When the old blind man said this, the whole person seemed to fall into memory.

At this moment, the market-like aura on his face disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by an indescribable temperament.

Professor Wen and the students behind him also felt the change in the temperament of the old blind man, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.

The temperament faintly revealed by the old blind man just now is a little incompatible with his current appearance.

"Dragon Bone Heavenly Book?"

……

Yanjing.

A post-production company.

"This rendering removes ...... The scene effect of the dungeon, try to make it a little more realistic......"

The brilliant post-production staff, under the guidance of the weekend, are revising and refining the details of the scene step by step.

With the help of memory capsules, the weekend's mind can be filled with images from movies from past lives.

He only needs to dictate according to the requirements of the picture in his head, and then the production staff will realize it, saving a lot of unnecessary processes.

It has only been less than a month since the film was sent, and nearly 50% of the post-production special effects have been processed.

"At this pace, we may be able to catch up with this year's Spring Festival."

Guo Fan was shocked when he saw the progress of post-production, and his eyes were full of admiration when he watched the weekend.

During the filming, Guo Fan had a feeling that he had already screened the finished film countless times in his mind on the weekend.

Because during the filming period, the best results can often be shot in the most efficient way on weekends.

Guo Fan feels that he, as a director, is just a tool man for the weekend.

Now, even post-production can put forward some suggestions on the weekend, and often follow his suggestions to avoid many detours.

It's kind of incredible.

"Spring Festival stalls? I remember that Huayi Movie also has a special effects blockbuster to be released during the Spring Festival this year, right? ”

Calculated on the weekend, there is still more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and if you look at the current progress, there is indeed a chance to catch up with this year's Spring Festival.

In recent years, the domestic film market has become bigger and bigger, and there will be a big hit almost every year during the Spring Festival.

The movie with the highest demand for popularity this year is the special effects blockbuster produced by Huayi Investment, which is not only directed by one of several famous directors in Huaxia, but also has a very luxurious lineup.

Huayi's movie has been completed in the first half of the year, and it has been in post-production, just a month ago, the news reported that Huayi's special effects blockbuster will be set for this year's Spring Festival.

Even, Huang Zhongyi also made a bold statement, aiming at the box office champion of this year's Spring Festival.

There was no plan to set the Spring Festival file on the weekend, so the time would be too rushed.

But now that he saw Huayi Movie, he was already building momentum for their new film, and he suddenly sneered in his heart.

As we all know, the grudge on the weekend is even more ruthless than the abbot, when Hua Yi was pouring dirty water on Yang Sisi before, he was not less affected on the weekend, and at that time he had already included Hua Yi in the list of revenge.

Now that he has the opportunity to fight with Huayi's new film, of course he will not let go of this opportunity.

For the next 20 days, he almost made the brilliant studio his home on weekends, supervising the progress of post-production every day, making the staff miserable.

Under the intensive supervision of the weekend, the finished film of "Ghost Blows the Lantern" was finally released twenty days later.

Little Black House Screening Room.

Yang Sisi heard that the finished film came out, and with apprehension, he came over to watch the finished film for the first time.

"When did the efficiency of the heavenly masterpiece become so high?"

Yang Sisi spoke while waiting for the movie to be shown in his seat.

Poof.

Guo Fan, who was sitting in the back, heard Yang Sisi's words, and suddenly a mouthful of water almost squirted out.

"There is a weekend where the supervisor is here, and the efficiency is not high, you are afraid that you don't know, and now the production staff who are brilliant in heaven have to take a detour as soon as they see the weekend."

Guo Fan explained to Yang Sisi that the real reason for such a high efficiency this time is mainly due to the weekend.
