At eight o'clock in the evening, private room at Lihai Hotel.
All the crew of "The Man from Earth" were present, and Liu Qinfei and her assistant Wang Liya arrived ten minutes early. In this regard, it is quite rare. There is no air of a big star at all.
When eating at the same table, Liu Qinfei, as an investor, took the initiative to raise a glass of juice to toast everyone and thank them.
After that, she also talked with everyone about her opinions on the movie. She had read the script carefully several times. The conversation was quite meaningful and she had some opinions of her own.
Chen Feng checked her information on the Internet. Before her debut, Liu Qinfei was not a professional actor who graduated from an art school, but was a student of a key science university. Her university major was mechanical design. This can be said.
It surprised many people.
It's hard to imagine that such a weak and fairy-like woman could be a science girl. She was later selected by the well-known domestic and foreign director Li Zhenke through a film audition to serve as the second female lead in the movie "Loulan", playing the role of Princess Loulan in it.
, stunned countless audiences and became an instant hit.
After that, she signed a contract with Brilliant Entertainment, and her stardom has been smooth. In just two or three years, she has become one of the first-line stars in the domestic entertainment industry.
Liu Qinfei treats people just right. At least during this dinner party, her words and demeanor made people feel like spring breeze.
Although she still only stayed for less than an hour and left, everyone had a very good impression of her.
Because we had to film a movie tomorrow, everyone dispersed not long after Liu Qinfei left.
On the way back, Li Dazhi seemed very excited. He directly asked for leave from the bar for this dinner tonight.
"From now on, I have been a big fan of Liu Qinfei. I didn't expect that she is so approachable in private. She is not aloof at all. This is much better than those celebrities who are the same before and the same as the others. Of course, the most important thing is
She is very discerning and invested money in this drama of yours, Master."
Jia Yong, who was driving the car, smiled and said: "Dazhi, your flattery is really pervasive. However, you are right, she is indeed very discerning. She knows how to invest in Director Chen from the beginning."
Chen Feng interrupted: "Fat brother, there are no outsiders here, you should just call me by my name. Director Chen, Director Chen sounds awkward."
"Okay! Then I'll call you by your name in private. Or I'll call you 'Fengzi', haha, that's definitely not possible, so I'll just call you by your name."
Li Dazhi couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Chen Feng said angrily: "Drive your car well. If anyone calls me crazy in the future, I will be in trouble."
Fat Brother and Li Dazhi couldn't help laughing even louder.
These two guys! Chen Feng shook his head and expressed his helplessness. His name is too popular, and it is easy for people to call him "Madman" here in the capital.
In the next few days, the shooting went very smoothly. Liu Qinfei basically came here every day, sometimes staying for a few minutes before leaving, and sometimes staying for more than an hour before leaving.
In this way, ten days later, Chen Feng's debut film "This Man is from the Earth" was officially completed. If Chen Feng hadn't kept improving and reshot several scenes, the filming could have been completed in seven days at most.
The movie is wrapping up, so we must have a wrapping banquet. The venue is the Juzhu Pavilion last time. Liu Qinfei was not able to attend because she had to make announcements out of town.
This time they came here but they didn't meet Feilong's group, and everyone had no restraints. Several of the men immediately drank too much. Chen Feng also drank a lot. They were being toasted in turn, and they couldn't even think about whether they were drunk or not. Fortunately, Jia Yong and Li Dazhi helped him hold back a lot of alcohol. After being sent back to the rental house, he only ran to the bathroom and vomited once. After that, he slept until dawn.
When I got up the next day, although my head felt a little uncomfortable, I could still hold on. I took a shower and felt much better.
After putting on a new set of clothes, Chen Feng went out. Although the film was completed, there was still a lot to do. The first was of course the film's editing and post-production, which Chen Feng planned to do together with Liu Gan. He is now the director Of course he is proficient in film editing and post-production. And although Liu Gan is a photographer, he also occasionally works as a guest editor, and his level is not bad.
Of course there is no problem for the two of them to do this movie editing together.
The location is Liu Gan's home. It's about ten minutes' drive from Jia Yong's place, not too far. His home is similar to Jia Yong's home. They are both floor-to-ceiling houses in the suburbs of Beijing, with a small yard, but he only has one A two-story house.
Liu Gan is not a native of Beijing, and neither is his wife. He bought this house a few years ago with millions of dollars scraped together, and it took him almost two years to pay off the debt.
In addition, Liu Gan and Jia Yong both have only one daughter, but his daughter is older. She is eight years old this year and is in the first grade.
When Chen Feng came over, his daughter went to school and his wife went to work. He was the only one at home.
Liu Gan was not polite to him, and Chen Feng didn't invite him to tea or anything after he came over. He just took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator and threw it to him.
Chen Feng didn't want to be polite to him. After a period of running-in and cooperation, the two of them had already become quite familiar with each other. They just grabbed a drink and let him take him to work.
In the next few days, Chen Feng came to Liu Qian's house every day to do film editing and post-production work. Sometimes he would eat directly at Liu Qian's house. Liu Qian's wife was a very well-educated woman, so she didn't give him any look at this.
It took almost six days to edit the film and add Chinese and English subtitles. Then the next step was to review and release the film.
Chen Feng sends the film to the relevant departments for review, and the next step is to wait, but the results are usually available within a month.
Chen Feng gave a copy of the finished film to Liu Qinfei.
Liu Qinfei called him the next day and asked him to meet at the "Youyuan Cafe" last time to discuss the promotion and distribution of the film.
Thinking of the last "egg tart incident", Chen Feng resisted in his heart. But after all, the movie is the most important thing, so he went anyway.
This time, Liu Qinfei reserved a private room. Chen Feng went directly to the reserved private room and waited for Liu Qinfei to drive away.
The agreed time was two o'clock in the afternoon, one fifty-eight, and Liu Qinfei arrived on time.
"Sorry, I'm a little late. There's a traffic jam on the road." Liu Qinfei took off her big sunglasses and mask and sat opposite Chen Feng.
"It's okay, I just arrived."
"...What kind of coffee do you drink?"
"casual."
"Then freshly ground Blue Mountain."
I called the waiter and ordered coffee and...two egg tarts.
"I haven't eaten lunch yet. Do you want it too?"
Seeing Chen Feng staring at the egg tarts, Liu Qinfei said a little embarrassed.
"No. I'm tired of eating."
"...Oh, okay. Let's get down to business. I've seen the finished film, and it's beyond my expectation. To be honest, although your script was well written before, it also looked very good when you shot it.
, but it didn’t become a film after all. Now that the film is out, I saw it and it far exceeded my expectations. Chen Feng, you are really amazing."
"Do you have any channels there?" Chen Feng asked directly.
"...Yes. Wanjia Cinemas, my contract company has shares in it. I have said hello to Sister Hong, and I will go to Wanjia Cinemas with her in the past two days to make contact. If possible,
I’ll inform you to go over and sign the contract.”
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure that your movie is good. I believe that the projection department of Wanjia Cinemas must have a good vision. In short, there should be no problem in releasing it. The biggest problem now is the promotion of the movie. What do you think?
"
"You can help promote it. For example, promote it on your Weibo, or even help promote it on some TV shows."
"...Is this your plan?"
Seeing Liu Qinfei staring at him, Chen Feng shook his head decisively and said: "Of course not. I plan to make a trailer and put it on several online video websites, movie forums, forums and other places to promote it."
"You are planning to promote it on the Internet."
"That's for sure. It saves money this way."
"...Okay. You are right. I will help promote it on Weibo. However, if you only make a trailer, the publicity effect will not be very good. You can use your current fame on the Internet to do it.
Promotion, such as writing a song for the movie. As long as the song becomes popular, the purpose of promoting the movie will of course be achieved. You are now very popular on the Internet, and you are known as the most popular Internet singer who has recently emerged."
"...when did you know?"
"When you are filming, you can hear your songs all the time on the street. Your singing videos are everywhere on the Internet. As a person in the entertainment industry, I don't even want to know about them."
"Okay then. I'll give it a try."
"It seems that none of your songs have audio sources on the Internet yet. Have you not officially recorded them yet?"
"Yes not yet."
"Then take advantage of this time to record all your songs. I can introduce you to a professional recording studio."
"Thank you very much. I also plan to record these songs while waiting for the film review in the past few days."
"Then when do you plan to go recording? I can go with you."
When Chen Feng heard this, he looked at Liu Qinfei strangely. She was a little too enthusiastic.
"I'm planning to release an album of songs, and I'm currently collecting songs. As long as you give me a song that satisfies me."
Seeing Liu Qinfei's dimple-like smile, Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as expected, none of the women in the entertainment industry are fuel-efficient.
Chen Feng is not stupid. I feel that the reason why she invested money in his movie was probably because she knew about his musical talent, or his potential.
