Chapter 15 If you don't make a good movie, you will go home and inherit the family business
After the film is shot, the next thing to do is to edit and produce it as soon as possible, then take it for review, and finally arrange for release.
For a film that only took seven days from pre-production to finalization, it naturally didn’t take a long time to edit.
In just two days, news came from Big Fatty Hai that the film had been edited and produced, and he asked Jiangbei if he wanted to watch the finished film first.
To be honest, I don't want to waste time on this.
However, as a key film that will force Li Youqing to quit the entertainment industry, Jiangbei felt that it was still necessary to inspect the film first to see if the film was 'qualified'.
It's just that Li Youqing has been running to the editing and production studio these two days to complete some dubbing work for the film's post-production.
If you want to watch the finished movie, you might get bumped into it.
How many days later will we go?
It's possible, but it would take too long. After all, the film has just been edited and produced, and it hasn't been reviewed yet.
Finally, after thinking about it, Jiangbei asked Hai Da Pang to review the finished film directly and arrange for its release as soon as possible.
As for the film, it has been filmed now anyway, and it will be released whether you watch it or not.
It’s just that life is always full of surprises.
Jiangbei also did not expect that what awaited him would be a series of unprepared 'surprises'.
Two days later, it will be May 5th.
The film "Don't Stop the Camera" has officially passed the censorship. According to the "Film Censorship Regulations" of Azure Star, the film is designated as a Category I film (suitable for viewing by any age).
May 6th.
Hai Dapang took the film to look for distributors, but because of last year's "Santa Claus" movie, major distributors immediately turned them away when they heard it was Hai Dapang's new movie and the investment was only one million.
outside.
No one is doing charity.
Everyone hopes that the films they collaborate with will make money when they are released, but it is naturally impossible for everyone to do something that is destined to lose money and bring notoriety.
When the news reached the ears of Jiang Bei and Li Youqing, they had completely different reactions.
Li Youqing was unhappy and frowning.
Jiang Bei's face was expressionless, but he was secretly happy inside.
"You see, all the major distributors are not optimistic about the film. Obviously this director has made another bad film."
When the opportunity came, it was natural to take the opportunity to brainwash Li Youqing's unrealistic dream of becoming a star.
"But even if it's a bad movie, it has to be released to see the results, right?" Li Youqing leaned on the sofa, hugging the pillow, and pouted her little mouth, which was so curved that an oil bottle could be hung on it.
She finally participated in a heroine drama, and she must have hoped to have the film released so that the audience could see her acting skills and performance.
"The distributors are not optimistic about it, so why show it? There are thousands of films produced in the country every year, but how many can you see in the cinema?"
This is actually a bit of a forced indoctrination of concepts. Although this is indeed the case, most of the films produced die at the stage of passing censorship. Generally speaking, as long as the film passes censorship, as long as you can find a distributor to cooperate with
, it will definitely be released.
And now the charging model is becoming more and more mature. Even if the movie theater cannot, you can still get it on the Internet, cooperate with some video websites, and broadcast it online there.
Li Youqing fell into silence after listening.
Jiang Bei thought that she had been persuaded by him, and was about to deepen his brainwashing and make her give up her dream of becoming a star completely, when the phone suddenly rang.
Critical moment.
Don't answer anyone's calls.
Just hang up.
Continue to brainwash.
"Since there is no way for the film to be released, I think we should accept our fate. Recently I plan to renovate the Mood Farmhouse. You are an art student and you must be good at matching. Why don't you come over and help me advise on how to redesign it...
"
"Wait, there's a phone call."
Li Youqing stopped Jiangbei's chattering and took out his vibrating mobile phone from his pocket to connect: "Hello? Director...what did you say? The film will be released tomorrow! Have you found a distributor?...Okay, okay, I understand...Okay, director
goodbye."
"Pa~"
After hanging up the phone, Li Youqing threw away the phone, grabbed Jiang Bei's arm and shouted excitedly: "The movie is about to be released!"
The sound is too loud.
It made his ears buzz.
Still a little confused.
Did you find a publisher so quickly?
Doesn’t it mean that the distributors are boycotting Hai Dapang, a director who has made films with ratings below 4.0?
"Brother Jiang, my father owns a small theater chain. I have no choice this time. I can only go back and beg him. Unfortunately, in the end, he only gave one cinema to play our film. Will we increase the screening intensity in the future?
We still need to see the final word-of-mouth and box office performance of the film."
In private, this is how Hai Dapang explained to Jiang Bei.
After listening, the latter fell into silence.
"But Brother Jiang, don't worry, I believe this film will be successful. By then, more theaters will screen our film; and I, Big Fatty Hai, can stand up in front of my dad and shout loudly with confidence.
Tell him: I don’t want to go back and inherit the family business, I want to make movies!”
"..."
"Hello? Brother Jiang, are you still there? Hey, hey, hey..."
...
May 7th, Wednesday.
"The Cameras Don't Stop" release date.
There is no publicity. This is not because Jiangbei deliberately stopped it, but because it lacks funds and cannot promote it vigorously. In addition, there is only one cinema showing the film, so publicity or not is not that important anymore.
The first film screening is scheduled for 9 a.m.
Today is not the weekend either, and since there is no one to promote it, Jiangbei can already expect that the venue will be reserved for a while.
Yes.
In order to be the first to watch the movie starring him.
Li Youqing got up early in the morning, dressed up carefully, and took him to watch the premiere.
Not only that, even Liangliang, who I usually don't deal with, was invited.
So now, Jiang Bei and Liang Liang were sitting on the sofa staring at each other, waiting for Li Youqing in the room to finish dressing up and then set off.
"Brother, didn't you say that the film was rejected by the distributor? How can it still be released?"
"The fat guy who made the movie has a theater chain at home, so he asked his dad to get a movie theater and forcefully show it."
When he said this, Jiang Bei felt as if he was jealous, with mixed feelings.
"Hai Dafa? Rich second generation!"
"Um."
"Hmm... But thinking about it, that's right. After all, he just debuted last year and directed a movie called "Santa Claus" that cost tens of millions of dollars and was screened all over the country. If he didn't have some wealth, how could he have such ability? But he just doesn't have the ability.
, this good family background is wasted."
"Um."
I really am not in the mood to talk about this ‘rich second generation director’.
Add to the blockage.
"Okay, okay, let's go."
At this time, Li Youqing finished dressing up and walked out of the room.
Fluffy curly hair, pink lipstick, light makeup that highlights her delicate facial features, a black pleated dress with a layer of delicate lace underneath, and a pair of light high heels dragging her white and smooth calves.
The whole image is full of maturity and nobility, showing temperament.
Even Liang Liang was stunned.
On the other hand, Jiangbei acted quite calmly.
After all, I watch it every day.
The immunity is still there.
"Let's go."
After getting up and picking up the keys on the coffee table, Jiang Bei took the lead and walked outside.
Liangliang came to his senses and followed quickly.
In the end, Li Youqing kept mumbling: "We need to hurry up. We invited Sister Sui Xi to watch the premiere yesterday, so we can't keep people waiting."
"Is this the movie queen Sui Xi?"
Liangliang turned around and asked.
"Well, that's her. Speaking of which, Sister Sui Xi is quite nice. She even helped promote my movie on Weibo yesterday."
The figure at the front suddenly stopped.
Liangliang didn't stop the car and directly hit it.
"Oops~"
Li Youqing behind him didn't pay attention and bumped into him again.
"Oops~"
"Bang~!"
Under the inertia, Jiang Bei's head hit the door...
