Suddenly a spring breeze comes overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloom.
…
The next day.
Li Yi woke up early, and the girl next to him was still sleeping soundly.
Zhang Ying'er seemed to be dreaming, and she didn't know what she was dreaming about. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and the pear dimples were shallow, like a flower.
Li Yi couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gently touched her dimple. Zhang Ying'er felt Li Yi's hand and rubbed it a few times like a kitten, and her smile became sweeter.
You really won’t get tired of watching it.
After about ten minutes, Li Yicai got out of bed gently, carried his clothes to the living room, put them on, and called the hotel front desk to ask for breakfast.
After washing up, Li Yi called Liu Yishou again and told him that the final stage of the film would be postponed until the day after tomorrow.
The original plan was to rush back to the capital at noon today and start post-production directly.
If I want it to be released on National Day, time is still a bit tight.
The later stage may not be as fast as Li Yi thought, and then it has to be sent for trial. Although the father-in-law is here, it cannot be rushed, and a certain amount of free time must be left.
However, isn't the situation different now?
Li Yi decided to stay in the entertainment industry at first because he wanted to make money easily. Later, he became interested in variety shows and even now in movies and acting.
But interest is interest. In the final analysis, you still have to live a good life.
At this time, Li Yike couldn't do anything but put on his pants, pat his butt, and leave Zhang Ying'er "I'm going to work."
What's the difference between that and "I give you paper and wipe it yourself"?
'Isn't two days too short? '
Li Yi thought with some hesitation. He felt that during these two days, he would secretly observe Zhang Ying'er's mood. If the other party was unhappy, he would postpone it for another two days.
Zhang Ying'er gave up being an actress because of him. Even if the movie's release was postponed, Li Yi didn't care. Besides, he was originally thinking about competing with others and that's why he was in such a hurry.
At first, he thought that after the movie was released, Fanxing's funds would be less tight. This was something Li Yi wanted to relax.
Even if the movie can be released on the National Day schedule, the box office dividends will have to wait until at least January next year.
And now that the reputation of The Voice has been established, many brands are interested in sponsoring it before the official recording begins, so there is no need to worry too much about funding.
At worst, I can just pay some more myself, and then Brother Jie can mortgage the house!
So, later will be later.
As for whether others said he was scared, Li Yi didn't care at all.
After a while, breakfast was served, and Zhang Ying'er's sweet and waxy voice came from the room: "Senior, senior."
She seemed a little scared. When she saw Li Yi come in, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then her face turned red in an instant and she buried her head in the quilt.
Zhang Ying'er's voice came from under the quilt: "Senior, you go out first."
Her clothes lay in a mess on the carpet beside the bed.
Instead of going out, Li Yi took a few steps forward, helped Zhang Ying'er pick up her clothes, and said with a wicked smile, "I'll help you get dressed!"
With that said, he also climbed onto the bed, lifted the quilt, and revealed Zhang Ying'er's shy and pretty face.
"Senior!"
Under Zhang Ying'er's coquettishness, Li Yi did not push her too far. He kissed her on the forehead and left the room, closing the door.
We have a long time to come, so we have to give each other some time to adapt.
Zhang Ying'er then got up and got out of bed, quickly put on her clothes, and then carefully folded the sheets.
She bought the sheets, quilt covers, and pillows in Li Yi's room herself.
Holding the sheets in her arms, Zhang Ying'er left the room as if running away. Li Yi quickly shouted: "Hey, let's have breakfast first..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Ying'er had already closed the door.
Embarrassingly, when Zhang Ying'er went out, she happened to meet Lin Zixuan who had returned from exercise. Her cousin looked a little helpless, but she didn't say much.
When Li Yi saw Zhang Ying'er again, it was already an hour later.
After learning that Li Yi had postponed the later stage of the film, Zhang Ying'er became anxious: "The time is already tight, how can it be postponed?"
Li Yi said nonchalantly: "It won't take more than a day or two."
Zhang Ying'er, who has always supported Li Yi's decisions, was very firm this time: "No, the movie is more important..."
Li Yi couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched her face. It was really a sunny little white flower. Just looking at it made him feel in a good mood.
He said seriously: "You are the most important."
Zhang Ying'er was not moved by the straightforward words of love. She slapped Li Yi's hand away, said with a straight face and wrinkled nose: "Li Yi, I really didn't expect that you are such a loving person and so unmotivated in your career!"
Li Yi: "???"
No matter what she said, Li Yi did not change his mind. He could see Zhang Ying'er's duplicity.
Then, as Zhang Ying'er talked, she actually said she was angry, which made Li Yi coaxed for a while...
…
The actors and even the crew posted group photos one after another, and the Internet also knew that "Charlotte Trouble" was finished. Without any marketing promotion, it became a moderately hot topic on Weibo.
Compared with the gathering of big names at the launch conference, which was very popular some time ago, the filming of "Charlotte Trouble" is very low-key this time.
It's a little unusual to be low-key.
This naturally attracted ridicule from some people: "The movie is so bad that you don't dare to speak out?"
This type of person just criticizes you no matter what you do. If you make the battle bigger, he will scold you for putting the cart before the horse and doing marketing all day long.
Li Yi ignored the commotion online.
The reason for keeping a low profile this time is because the early announcements are almost complete, and we don’t want to cause resentment due to overexposure.
As for movies, the most important thing is to watch the content.
After two days in the gentle village, Li Yi, who is familiar with the taste, originally wanted to postpone the time again, or let Liu Yishou lead the team to work first, splicing the shots in sequence, the soundtrack, special effects and even filters, waiting for him to finish. Say it again.
It's a pity that Zhang Ying'er ran home directly.
Doesn't she want to live a life without shame?
Obviously not, Li could also feel that Zhang Ying'er had become more clingy than before in the past two days.
Now that things have come to this, Li Yi can only calm down and start his career professionally.
In the following days, Li Yi worked between the Stone Music Studio and the post-production place, keeping his feet busy every day.
However, the post-production was still smooth, but not as fast as Li Yi imagined. After all, no matter how clear the idea is, the workload is there.
Moreover, Li Yi was not a professional in this regard, and his meaning could not be conveyed well to the later staff.
The final time for editing and splicing shots, transition effects, color correction, special effects, and soundtrack has arrived on August 2nd, and it took almost a month.
The later time seemed a bit slow to Li Yi, but to others it was ridiculously smooth.
There are no twists and turns in the whole process, and there are no repeated changes. It is no less than an actor acting over and over again.
I originally thought that Li Yi was a little hasty and perfunctory in his treatment of the film, but after the film was released, they put away these thoughts, just like Zhang Lei and Ye Yaodong at the time, who kept sighing in their hearts: "It's so hard, so hard."
Liu Yi is already used to it.
Immediately, Li Yi sent the film to be submitted for review and visited Zhang Ying'er's house with gifts. There was nothing embarrassing about troublesome father-in-law!
Later, Li Yi held a movie viewing party at Fanxing. In addition to the main actors, he also invited Hou Tao, the head of Longda Cinema, and producer Yu Min, as well as the Men's Gang, and several guest teachers. .
Naturally, not everyone came. Several instructors from The Voice did not come due to scheduling issues, but Chu Fan and Huang Chongwen both came.
During the filming of the former, it can be seen that he seems to be addicted to acting, and it is normal for him to be interested in the finished film.
The latter is simply idle. He asks Li Yi to play games from time to time, but is rejected every time, but never gets discouraged.
A group of people sat in the conference room, chatted for a while, and watched a movie.
The first scene that appeared was of Charlotte riding around in the hotel garden in the luxury car borrowed by her brother-in-law's rich girlfriend, which aroused bursts of laughter.
Among them, those in the Men's Gang and others who had a good relationship with Li Yi laughed loudly and were very supportive.
However, if FHM was all commercial support at the beginning, as the plot unfolded and more and more laughs were presented, everyone laughed more and more naturally.
Hou Tao, the theater director of Longda Pictures, also kept grinning cheerfully. It was indeed interesting. The laughter of this comedy was very natural.
Because both Chu Fan and Huang Chongwen were present, everyone laughed especially happily when they saw Chu Fan pointing at Charlotte's nose and scolding Huang Chongwen's song as rubbish. Some of them recalled Huang Chongwen's reputation during that time.
"Although the ending of the movie is a bit cliche, in which a middle-aged man wakes up from a dream, the flaws are not hidden. It is a rare comedy masterpiece!"
After the movie was played, Hou Tao commented in his mind.
Li also made changes to the ending of the movie.
At first, many people criticized this episode for having incorrect views. In the end, a loser did not change himself and only clung to Ma Dongmei.
There are also many people who argue that people who have not experienced the feeling of recovering from their mistakes will not understand this feeling.
Li Yi didn't feel that much. He just thought it was funny and that was it. In a comedy movie, there is no need to discuss the issue of three views so seriously.
Charlotte beat Huang Chongwen (Jay Chou) with a guilty conscience, precisely because he had a guilty conscience and had low self-esteem. In the end, he got AIDS, which was not a good ending.
Charlotte was not a good man to begin with, but judging from what happened in his dream and his final outcome, he actually had a pretty good outlook on things.
But anyway, the ending of this story is already cliché, so Li Yi is not afraid of making it a little more cliché.
He added two short scenes of Charlotte at work. When Ma Dongmei was playing mahjong at the end, she received a call from Charlotte, asking her what food she wanted to eat, and she went to buy it after get off work.
After all, there is a certain reason why so many people criticize him. Li Yi's method is based on the opinions of both parties.
——Bah bang bang.
In the conference room, everyone applauded and unanimously gave the film approval.
Sun Yanlei said in a loud voice: "Xiao Yi, I'm serious, I haven't seen such a funny comedy in a long time. It's very good-looking, really very good-looking!"
Others also responded in a flurry of voices.
It’s not an exaggeration. Many of the lines are very interesting and full of laughter. Every now and then, I will shake off a baggage. It is quite novel and indeed worthy of praise.
"Let me tell you, if you are willing to let me slap Charlotte on the face again in the movie, it will be a sublimation. What a pity, what a pity!" Huang Chongwen is still brooding about this matter.
Li Yi spread his hands: "Ah, yes, yes."
We didn't chat for too long. Everyone was busy. Even those who were not busy knew that Li Yi and the publisher had something to talk about, so they all left.
Huang Chongwen left with regrets. He practiced spear training on his own almost every day, just waiting to show it to Li Yi.
After everyone left, Zhang Ying'er was the only one left next to Li Yi. Yu Min looked at Hou Tao with a smile: "Mr. Hou, how is it? This movie didn't disappoint you, did it?"
"How could I be disappointed? It's such a surprise!"
Hou Tao smiled at Li Yi and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, Longda Cinema's film schedule will not disappoint you."
The theater chain will make a box office estimate based on the movie content, main creative lineup, and concurrent movies, etc., and then schedule the films.
Longda Cinema is the distributor of this movie and also participated in the investment. Although it is not much, only 5 million, it should have given more support.
But since Hou Tao said so, it means that the intensity will definitely exceed what it should be.
"Thank you so much!"
Li Yi stretched out his hand to shake the other person's hand, and then said to Yu Min: "Thank you, Sister Min, for helping me so much."
"You're welcome. We are partners, so we should."
Yu Min looked at Zhang Ying'er, imitated the lines in the movie just now, and joked: "Ying'er calls me aunt, you call me sister, everyone has their own thing, right?"
Hou Tao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Haha, this line is indeed interesting."
"I hope the audience will also like it." Li Yi said modestly.
"Definitely." Hou Tao nodded. In his opinion, this movie will definitely not lose money, and it can even make a lot of money. It has a box office of 1 billion!
After chatting for a while, Hou Tao also left.
Without outsiders, Yu Min asked seriously: "Is the movie sure to pass the review before National Day?"
"It's not a big problem. If you've watched our film, there's nothing that can't pass the review." Li Yi said without hesitation.
Blue Star's review standards are relatively loose to begin with. It makes no sense that the Earth can pass, but it can't pass here. He didn't add any insinuations.
The official standard for normal review time is between one month and two months, but it is usually around one month.
Even without the help of his father-in-law, he should be able to successfully pass the review before the National Day, and he has already received his father-in-law’s nod.
Yu Min nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll start talking to people from other theaters tomorrow."
The normal process is that after receiving the dragon label, the publisher copies the resource hard drive, applies for the key, and distributes it to major theaters so that they have an idea after watching it. Only then does the discussion about arranging the film begin.
However, time is tight, and some films have already been reviewed and are waiting for the National Day release, such as "Twenty Again", for which we started talking about arranging the film a while ago.
This National Day holiday, there is also an action blockbuster "Speed" and a tribute movie, which are also coming in a big way, which makes the film schedule even more tense.
Therefore, they need to negotiate in advance to get more film schedules. If they jump in the queue at the last moment, they will have poor film schedules and a bad reputation in the industry.
Li Yi asked: "Well, what do I need to do here?"
Yu Min thought for a while: "I will make an appointment and take them here to watch the movie. I need to make them aware of the content of the movie."
Of course, it is impossible to copy the source of the film and circulate it before applying for a key. This will definitely cause a big problem.
Li Yi nodded: "No problem, just let me know when the time comes, Sister Min."
"good."
Yu Min is a typical strong woman. She will say goodbye and leave without any more nonsense.
Zhang Ying'er waved and said, "Goodbye, Sister Min!"
Yu Min then took off her businesslike face and said, "It's okay for a husband to sing and a wife to do so, right?"
Zhang Yinger smiled sweetly.
