Star City was also the post-production special effects company they cooperated with at the time of "The End of the World". This movie also made them successful. With the success of the movie, they became famous in the industry.
Within two years, the company has developed rapidly. The company has also moved from the outskirts of Shanghai to the bustling CBD building. The receptionist is a beautiful girl, and the office is neat and bright.
But some things haven't changed,
There was smoke, a mountain of cigarette butts, an empty Red Bull can that was swaying around, a crackling mouse and keyboard, and a raging programmer.
Listening to the introduction, there are more professionals than before, and the boss even spent a lot of money to introduce talents and technology. Among the many employees busy in front of the computer, there are many foreigners with big noses and blue eyes working.
Star City welcomes Su Yan's arrival. He used to have skills but no reputation, but now he has to take care of both and has to work overtime every day.
The boss and the technical director received Su Yan together, watched the film, and informed him of the requirements one by one. Li Shanggen will be stationed here as Party A for a long time.
Lao Wang advised him to finally come to China, go out and have some fun, and Star City could do a good job.
However, the other party obviously valued the movie more than anyone else, and insisted on coming over every day to check on the progress. Everyone couldn't help it, so they let him go.
Star City has no dissatisfaction with this. This is normal. Some directors even stay with them twelve hours a day so that any problems can be solved through consultation immediately.
In fact, Su Yan secretly had fun in his heart. With someone keeping an eye on him, he could take some time off. He trusted Xingcheng very much. The post-production special effects in this movie were relatively few and simple, just some fog and urban background.
Fortunately, the special effects company also has Korean employees, otherwise some professional vocabulary would not be very accurate through mobile phone translation.
Mr. Wang also expressed his support. For convenience, he also opened a room for him in a nearby hotel. It only takes ten minutes to walk. As for eating, as an adult, you will not starve yourself.
Lee Sang-geun is expected to stay in Shanghai for two days, and then return to South Korea with about five minutes of sample footage, which he will hand over to the post-editing director as a reference. He will spend 10-15 days editing the film and then bring it back to Star City to do the full special effects.
After Su Yan left, he did not return to the company. He had to take a few days off. When things were settled here, he would start to be busy again.
As soon as I got home, I got a call from Lao Hu.
"Hey! Are you back from your wedding trip?" Su Yan sat in the living room and turned on the air conditioner. It was already over 30 degrees outside. He didn't like summer.
"Are you dizzy?" Lao Hu said angrily, "I went there last month, okay?"
"Oh, okay."
Su Yan had no intention of apologizing.
"Qianha?"
"Are you at home?"
"uh-huh."
"Then take a quick look and see if the old man next door is here. Didn't we agree to move and sign the contract in July? Don't make any mistakes."
To be honest, Su Yan really forgot all about it.
"Are you two in the magic city now?"
"Well, here in my old house."
"Okay, wait for my call, I'll go over and take a look now."
I didn't bother to change my shoes, so I just put on a pair of slippers and walked over.
As soon as he rang the doorbell, fortunately, Grandpa Xu was at home, and his son was also there. After a few brief conversations, he understood that the other party had not changed his mind, and Su Yan felt relieved.
After directly calling Lao Hu over, he accompanied the two of them to go through the formalities for the next day and a half. Lao Xu's family had started moving things sporadically some time ago, signed the contract, and said that they would complete the procedures within three days.
All done.
Hu Shuai told them to take their time, it didn't matter, they would have to renovate it anyway.
Seeing Su Yan busy and running around, Lao Hu was also very grateful, so the couple invited him to have a meal together. Since he didn't want to eat dog food, he simply called Chi Chi, who happened to be in the magic house.
All.
The place we chose is quite good. I heard it is the top western restaurant on the Bund. You can see the place where Huangpu River and Suzhou River merge.
The price is not cheap either, 2000 per capita.
Sitting in the elegant private room, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, Su Yan glanced at Chi Chi with disgust.
"If I had known I would come to such a good place, I would have waited until Yoona came back."
Chen Chichi was not annoyed, and made an expression that she thought was charming and leaned over: "My dear, don't be like this."
Irene giggled as she watched.
Su Yan pushed him away: "Go away, I don't have a son like you."
"..." Chi Chi quickly changed the subject: "So you two are neighbors now?"
"Well," Lao Hu picked up the aperitif in front of him and took a sip: "Do you have any ideas?"
"Forget it." Chichi shook his head: "I already have a set. If I buy it again, you will pay for it."
Hu Shuai just looked at him with disdain and did not answer.
Appetizers, soups, and side dishes took almost forty minutes to serve. They tasted really good, but the portions were really small. Chen Chichi had to chew the free bread.
"When will the movie be released?"
This would naturally come up during the chat. For the first half hour, their topic was the interesting story of the honeymoon between the two people opposite.
"As soon as the end of August."
"Can China introduce it?"
"Not necessarily." Su Yan is also worried about this. If it can be released in China, it will be relatively easy to recover the investment of hundreds of millions.
"Mr. Wang has gone to the leaders of the General Administration. Although there has been no restriction in the past few years, there has been no clear answer. The other party's intention is to wait until the final film is edited and send it over for review."
"There is hope if you don't say anything." Lao Hu comforted him: "And it's not something you can control. If you think about it a little more, maybe good things will come. The most important thing is that you are Chinese, so maybe you will consider this aspect.
It must be a factor, after all, only a few people can go abroad to make movies now. If a young man suddenly comes, the leaders also understand how difficult it is."
"That's the truth." Su Yan didn't think too much: "When the movie starts to be promoted, sister-in-law, you have to help promote it on SNS."
"Okay, I promise there will be no problem." Irene tilted her head: "By the way, I have something to tell you. We, Hong Beibei, didn't come to attend Qinghe's annual meeting two years ago, and then you asked Mr. Wang to give you two
Massage chair?”
"That's true. What's wrong? Isn't it useful?"
"No, no." Xiao Pei quickly waved his hand: "I was very happy to receive it when I got back, but I originally asked Jiang Seqi to send an SNS to thank you, but she forgot it. Why don't you take this opportunity to make up for it?"
Su Yan was dumbfounded: "It's been half a year. It's not necessary. It's okay to just promote it nakedly. It's too deliberate and it's strange. Fans looked at it and thought, oh, this massage chair is wrinkled. They thought I gave it a second-hand product."
"
After Irene heard it, she thought it made sense, so she let it go.
"We are promoting it, not doing bad things. Everyone is used to it, so it's okay. Many people are still advertising commercials on it."
"It's not that I don't want to."
"I understand."
"Why don't you let me promote it?" Chi Chi said vaguely while biting the bread.
"Do Koreans know you?" Su Yan glanced at him.
"Hmm...Why aren't the staple dishes here yet?"
"When are you going to go there?" Lao Hu asked.
Su Yan thought for a while: "If it's quick, it would probably be in mid-to-late August, but the publicity there is easier than in China. After all, the territory is small, and the road show can be completed in about ten days. Other filming programs are also mainly performed by actors. I
Maybe just participate in 1-2, Chi Chi, I will go back to Rongcheng the day after tomorrow, will you come with me?"
"I won't go. I have to film a movie. What are you going to do when you go back?"
"I haven't been home for a few months. I'm not allowed to visit. I also have to bring the little one back home. I'm a little scared. I don't know what my mother raised me like." Su Yan said it sincerely.
talk.
"Hahaha, there is something called grandma who is afraid that you will be hungry." Old Hu laughed: "What about Yoona?"
"She will fly directly to Seoul in two days, and the car is still at home. Irene, Maserati is good, let Lao Hu buy one for you." Su Yan encouraged.
"No, I just bought a house. I spent a lot of money, and I don't need a car for the time being." The young lady who spoke said winked slyly: "You have two cars at home, I can just borrow them."
Lao Hu laughed heartily after hearing this, and praised his wife for her ability to live a good life. From now on, if there is not enough oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home, he will go next door to get it.
Chi Chi, who was concentrating on cooking steak next to him, almost choked when he heard this.
"That's enough for you two. You can speak with your conscience, okay? You even borrowed Youyanjiangvinegar. Now that summer is here, why not just stay at Su Yan's house and save the electricity bill."
"What a great idea!" Unexpectedly, the other party said in unison.
"..." Su Yan.
"..." Chen Chichi.
