After six people and a whole week of hard work, the script was completed.
In Qin Xiaobao's view, there are still many areas that need to be refined and improved, but it is great to be able to achieve such results in just a few days.
The script will be brought to Hu Ge personally by Liu Minghua, who will watch it face to face and then burn it after reading it.
After working hard for so many days and the weather is cold, there is nothing more comforting than a hot meal of hot pot.
When Xiang Yang learned that it was about to end, he came to the recording studio in advance and opened a bottle of champagne after Qin Xiaobao announced that it was finished.
"Thank you to all the teachers for your hard work during this period. On behalf of Kiwi, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you all."
After a simple celebration, the group left this place where the lights always needed to be turned on and took a bus to the place to eat, Chen He's hotpot restaurant.
As soon as we went out, everyone took a breath of air-conditioning. It was too cold. The drizzle was falling freely in the light. The key point was that the wind was not strong enough. It blew people's hair straight and made their hairs stand up.
"Yeah, why are you here again!" Qin Xiaobao got in the car and found that the person sitting in the driver's seat was actually Wang Bingbing.
The young lady smiled sweetly: "I'll help you be the driver! Don't worry, I'm definitely an experienced driver."
"Let me guess, get out of class has just ended again, right?" Qin Xiaobao put on his seat belt.
"Director Qin, your artists still work part-time," the screenwriter sitting behind joked.
"Yes, I'm a newcomer. I have to perform well and strive for some opportunities. If Sister Lin has good opportunities and roles in the future, don't forget about me as a little driver." The young lady turned her head and winked in a cute manner.
"No problem. I've drank a lot of milk tea from you in the past few days and they all say that cannibals have short tongues. If there is a suitable role, I will definitely contact you." Sister Lin said in a good voice.
Qin Xiaobao didn't say anything, just smiled on the side. He was very willing to see artists build their own network.
Wang Bingbing is lively by nature, but not annoying, and she knows how to behave appropriately. So far, the artists and staff who come into contact with her all like her.
"Let's go!" Qin Xiaobao said as he saw Xiang Yang leaving with the others.
"Shag! Everyone, please fasten your seat belts."
Half an hour later, two cars arrived at the door of Chen He's hotpot restaurant in Shanghai.
"Oh, welcome, welcome." Chen He stood at the door to greet them. After seeing everyone get out of the car, he came directly to greet them.
"It's an honor for the boss to receive him personally despite being so busy." Qin Xiaobao stepped forward and hugged him.
It's a bit strange to say.
Hugging is an action that represents feelings. It can be family affection, friendship? It can be love.
In fact? Except for men and women who are passionately in love, most people rarely use it in their lives.
After Qin Xiaobao briefly introduced several screenwriters to Chen He, he followed him into the lobby.
A unique aroma of hot pot hits your nostrils.
"It smells so good!" Wang Bingbing couldn't help but say.
"Really?" As a boss? Chen He was very proud: "Come? Please come in."
The business of a store opened by a celebrity is always good. Today is not a weekend, and it is half past eight, so it is not dinner time? But there are still more than a dozen tables of business inside.
See a group of people walking in? The sharp-eyed people immediately noticed that in addition to the boss who just came to say hello, there was another celebrity.
"Brother Xiaobao!"
"Brother Ha!"
"Director Qin..."
You can enjoy delicious food and see celebrities at the same time, which is a double benefit for diners.
"Why don't you say hello to everyone and take some photos?" Chen He suggested from the side.
"Okay? You guys go in first." Qin Xiaobao greeted Xiang Yang and the screenwriters.
Seeing that Qin Xiaobao was willing to stop and say hello, the customers who were watching also gathered around, click, click, click, click...
"Director Qin, come on, come back with an award from the Berlin Film Festival and bring glory to the country."
"Brother Xiaobao is so handsome."
"Brother Ha, I am a fan of your novel. When will the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" be released?"
"Director Qin, I went to see your movie. It was very good!"
All Qin Xiaobao can do is keep saying thank you, making scissor hand gestures, smiling, and being eaten tofu.
I don’t know who pinched his butt. I hope it was a girl. Men are a bit...
After almost ten minutes, Chen He still shouted to stop, otherwise it would be endless. Most of the people inside satisfied their wishes and let them leave.
"Thank you." Chen He smiled.
"You're welcome, it only takes a little effort." Qin Xiaobao understood what he meant.
When he came over for a meal, it was not just a simple meal. On the surface, it was Chen He's treat, but as a host, he got much more than a meal, and he understood everything.
When I returned to the private room, it was already steaming hot.
"Hey, you don't have to wait for me. You can eat first. It doesn't matter." Qin Xiaobao looked a little apologetic as everyone's dishes and chopsticks were clean.
"Director Qin, come and sit here." Wang Bingbing patted the seat next to her.
Qin Xiaobao didn't give in and walked over directly.
"It doesn't matter, I don't care about this little moment." Sister Lin smiled.
You will definitely have to wait. Although he is the youngest here, the portion is indeed the heaviest, and the etiquette must be met.
"Let's eat, use your chopsticks."
"Come on, come on!"
"Director Qin," Wang Bingbing pointed to the small bowl in front of him: "This is peanut butter, sesame paste, coriander, minced garlic, and chili, your favorite ingredients."
"Hey," Xiang Yang was pouring wine for everyone: "You know Director Qin's preferences so well, are you an artist or an assistant?"
"He's not free, I'm just stopping by." Wang Bingbing said lightly.
"What I'm concerned about is, how do you know what he likes to eat?" Xiang Yang put down the bottle and asked.
"I'm very observant. I went on a road show before and had a few hot pot meals on the show. His dipping saucer has always been configured like this. It's very similar to mine, so I remembered it."
"That's right, Miss Wang is really attentive. I mentioned it and she remembered to bring me Fuji's mooncakes. Thank you." Sister Lin picked up the red wine glass and said, "Here's to you."
"Don't dare, I should be the one to respect you." The young lady quickly picked up the wine glass and the two of them touched it lightly.
Others were also toasting with Qin Xiaobao. Xiang Yang originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but got distracted and forgot about it.
"Try the louvers, but they were flown here. They are absolutely fresh. There is also this mutton, 100% produced in Inner Mongolia, and beef belly. The taste is not to mention..." Chen He, as the boss, kept introducing his signature products.
.
Not to mention, blanch large pieces of louver in hot soup for twelve seconds, put them in the sauce, stuff them into your mouth and chew them.
First, the aroma of peanut butter comes from the taste buds, followed by the aroma of garlic and spiciness, which is a perfect match with the unique crispness of the louver.
The pork belly is cut as thin as a book page, and the greasy feeling is gone, leaving only the comfort of eating meat.
The mutton is also good, no smell, very fresh...
All I can say is that winter goes best with hot pot.
After the work was completed, everyone felt relaxed and accomplished. In addition, they had deliberately waited until now for dinner, and everyone had a great appetite and enjoyed eating.
Chen He was also happy to see it. When he saw a dish he particularly liked, he immediately replenished it. After eating for a long time, the table was still full.
"You must be used to drinking this wine." He added some to Qin Xiaobao.
"Brother He is so polite. I'm not very good at tasting red wine, but it's very smooth and I don't feel stressed when I drink it." Qin Xiaobao held the wine glass in both hands: "Here, thank you for the hospitality. I'll toast you with a glass."
"Come on, come on!" Chen He took a sip and said, "Come here often if you like it."
"Is there any discount?" Wang Bingbing was handling the meat in the bowl and didn't forget to ask.
"Yes, there must be!" Chen He waved his hand: "I will give you the most advanced VIP card later."
"Hey, thank you, Brother He."
Chen He nodded: "Director Qin, you are really hardworking. You have just finished the movie and you have new actions?"
"It doesn't count." Qin Xiaobao was half full after eating, so he was no longer in a hurry. He took a tissue and wiped his mouth: "Preparation doesn't even count. It's just about preparing the script first. To really start shooting, you have to have the courage."
for a long time.
The main reason is that several screenwriters are too busy and their schedules are already full, so they had no choice but to work overtime before the end of the year."
"I see."
Both sides understood the other's subtext.
As an actor, an excellent director, and a friend of Chen He's, it was normal for him to ask when he heard about the plan. There weren't too many actors in the industry who wanted to work with him.
Qin Xiaobao is telling the truth here. It's not time for casting yet, so it's too early for you to ask now.
Naturally, it’s hard to talk about customizing the script for Hu Ge.
Nowadays, there is only one stroke in the horoscope, but if you are not careful, it may be erased, so it is better to be careful.
Several screenwriters, including several screenwriters, also had no idea that the script was written for someone special. They just felt that it was a bit strange that they were in such a hurry even though the filming was not going to start so soon.
