In "The Age of Running", Kou Cen was under tremendous pressure.
It is a literary film shot with frustration, knowing that it would fail miserably.
The plot, costumes, and props are all a mess.
Once it was aired that year, it immediately became the laughing stock of the entire industry.
The film reviews at that time were overwhelmingly scolding.
The only few people who praised me also praised the actors and the sound effects, but no one saw "stubbornness" in them.
Later, as his reputation became more and more famous,
His status in the circle is getting higher and higher,
That film was naturally forgotten by everyone and did not dare to be mentioned.
After all, which great director has never made a bad movie in his life for one reason or another.
But I didn’t expect that,
Today he will be in Nanjiang City,
In this hotel,
I heard from the young hotel owner that he liked this video.
I even saw the "stubborn" emotion in the film!
Suddenly, Kou Cen really felt like he had met a close friend.
Captured the momentary emotion in Kou Cen's eyes,
Chen Jianhai felt lucky that he succeeded in cheating.
How can you not be stubborn!?
In the first half of the film, if you can still see a figure and hear a line,
The entire second half is about a woman dragging a man running through a rice field, with the camera following behind.
In the end, I chased it for 45 minutes.
Follow it until the end credits appear.
After all this, you still have to finish filming the film. Isn’t this stubbornness or something?!
If Chen Jianhai read a few movie reviews online and copied and pasted them into his own praise,
Everyone present is a seasoned veteran, and they can tell when they hear it.
But what he said was his true feelings,
Coupled with his sincere and shy eyes, the feelings clicked instantly.
Seeing that the expression on Kou Cen's face softened a little,
Ado,
Boss Chen quickly greeted him warmly:
"Director Kou, the food has been prepared in the restaurant. Let's go upstairs first."
…
Due to the large number of people in the crew,
So for the first meal, Chen Jianhai chose the Crystal Revolving Music Restaurant on the top floor.
Enter the hotel lobby.
Kou Cen only glanced at it and drooped his eyelids, looking like nothing more than that.
On the surface, I can't say I'm dissatisfied, but I can't say it's too suitable either.
After all, it is a five-star hotel that has just been launched. For a director like him who has traveled extensively and has seen big scenes abroad,
These carpets and decorations are simply boring to look at.
Nothing surprising.
But what makes Director Kou very satisfied is that the employees in this hotel are very sensible.
What to do, what to do,
There were no curious people rushing up to ask for autographs, nor were there any sneaky people who pretended to be passing by but were actually here to watch the fun.
It feels very comfortable on a psychological level.
"this way please."
Chen Jianhai led the way and took Kou Cen to the aquarium sightseeing elevator.
As soon as I entered the elevator,
Kou Cen raised his eyelids,
I saw the acrylic glass curtain wall filled with dark blue sea water.
Thousands of fish of different species and beautiful postures shuttle among them,
Before everyone could stand still,
A batfish passed by in front of everyone's eyes, and the black shadow disappeared in a flash, causing some timid crew members to scream in surprise.
But then,
A large school of small yellow croakers swam leisurely from the side,
These little yellow croakers are extremely domineering,
In the sea ahead, there are clearly two red-tailed, silver-scaled bluefin fish playing.
However, the school of small yellow croakers still went forward resolutely, scattering the two blue-finned fishes, and then proudly shuttled upwards.
As the elevator slowly rises,
Schools of small yellow croakers also swung their tails and moved upwards, as if they were escorting them all the way, giving them a full sense of interaction.
"Boss Chen, your elevator is well built."
Kou Cen looked up at the height of the aquarium elevator, then looked down at the surrounding high-strength acrylic glass curtain walls.
He stretched out his hand and knocked, with a hint of novelty in his eyes.
Chen Jianhai nodded shyly, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
Things are placed here, and anyone with a discerning eye can see them at a glance, whether they are good or bad.
He was too embarrassed to praise himself again in front of everyone.
The two sightseeing elevators in the lobby can go directly to the crystal revolving music restaurant on the roof.
A second ago, everyone was immersed in the mysterious dream of underwater fish.
But the next moment,
The bright light penetrates the floor-to-ceiling glass and spreads on every inch of the ground in front of you.
The vast blue sea is surrounded by waves, and layers of white waves roll in from the depths of the sea towards the shore. The color of the sea water is light blue, dark blue to the horizon, with fishing boats dotted in the distance, and seagulls rising and falling nearby.
This visual impact from quiet and mysterious to vast and majestic instantly shocked all the crew members.
Kou Cen was stunned for a long time before he spoke, half sure and half appreciative:
"This layout is really good."
…
After finishing the meal,
The crew began to intensively arrange the scene and study the shooting angles.
All departments quickly get into work mode.
It's just a pity that almost all the people staying in the hotel are crew members.
The male and female lead actors, actor Wu Kai and others do not live here.
Later Chen Jianhai inquired and found out,
Celebrities like this basically have their own houses in Nanjiang.
I don't even bother staying in a hotel.
I only come here when filming.
But despite this,
In order to meet their idols, many fans either share a room with a few people or stay alone, almost occupying the hotel rooms.
This is the holiday,
There are already a lot of people taking vacations,
In addition, the hotel accommodates many tour groups and enthusiasts who re-walk the Nanjiang historical road.
As a result, the number of rooms available is greatly reduced.
On all major travel app websites, the words “sold out” are displayed.
Other hotels that were really killed were jealous.
…
In Yan'an City, which is 2293.4 kilometers away from Nanjiang City,
In a high-end office building,
Xing Yusen looked at the words "Front Desk Payment All Reservations Completed" on the computer screen with sour teeth.
Confused.
What kind of hotel is this?!
Can’t even book a room?!
I was worried when suddenly there was a ding-dong sound and a message popped up:
"Lao Xing, have you booked the room? I'm waiting for your flight to book."
"No reservation, no room [frowning] [sighing]"
“No room yet?!”
Looking at the exclamation mark on the screen, Xing Yusen felt extremely sad and rubbed his forehead anxiously.
The requirement given to them by the association is to check into the Langai Hotel before the end of November to carry out star rating work.
However, he started checking the hotel's official website and major apps four days ago, and the messages showed that all rooms had been sold.
He called the front desk and all he heard was "Sorry, there are no rooms available right now."
On the other side, the association staff are still asking and following up on the work situation.
The pressure from both sides is really overwhelming.
“This special code is really hard to find!”
Xing Yusen closed the notebook and cursed through gritted teeth.
