As Li Qian announced that the film was finished, the crew, who had been filming for fourteen consecutive days, couldn't help but cheer.
Although fourteen days is not much compared to three or four months for a theatrical movie, but a 90-minute scene for a theater movie takes three or four months, and they shot a 60-minute scene in fourteen days.
It didn't get any easier.
Li Qian can finally relax for two days. Compared to ordinary employees on the crew, he is much more tired as a director.
We have to hold a meeting every two days to discuss the shooting of the next two days with Qi Yukun, Guo Fan, and Zhang Zhonghua. We need to be specific about the specific arrangements for each shot. We can't think about how to shoot it when it's time to shoot.
Every night I also have to roughly review the shots taken during the day. The workload is the heaviest of the entire crew, which means I feel a little more relaxed when shooting during the day.
The high-intensity work has made Li Qian's brain and body tired, but he is slowly getting used to it.
14 days is like this, not to mention that if we shoot for three to four months or even half a year or longer in the future, if we don't get used to it early, it will be really uncomfortable.
The next step is post-editing, color grading, and then logging into the video website to let the audience test the final result.
"Everyone is finally working hard. We have collected all the things and moved them into the car. We have also cleaned up the place. We will have a meal together later."
There is not much money left on hand. After all, it has been delayed for two days and two sets of equipment will cost a lot of money.
But it’s okay to invite the crew and the twenty actors and actresses to have a meal together. After working together for half a month, there is always a breakup meal.
After having a big meal, everyone seemed to be more energetic when working, and the movements of their hands also sped up a lot.
Li Qian checked around to see if there was anything missing. When he saw Tong Liya and the Chinese opera students standing aside, he thought for a while and walked forward.
"If you are not in a hurry to go back to the hotel, let's have a meal together."
Tong Liya came to pick up some junior brothers and sisters in the afternoon. She was about to say goodbye when she heard Li Qian's invitation and said a little embarrassedly, "Director Li, you're too polite. I haven't thanked you for taking care of them in the past two days. I've caused you trouble.
It didn’t help much either.”
Li Qian smiled and said, "What's the trouble? Besides, Song Yi also played a role for free, and they also made guest appearances. I should thank them."
"The hotel we booked is right next to the base. If you're not in a hurry, let's come together. We can be friends."
Tong Liya looked at them. Song Yi and the others entered the crew for the first time. Their curiosity was satisfied. Naturally, they didn't want to miss the "finalizing banquet" that every crew would have. "I want to go" was written on their faces.
Two words.
Most of the acting students who go to the theater set to experience life in their freshman year usually play unpleasant roles.
Although Li Qian seemed to be quite nice to them and not impatient at all, he still disturbed others for two days and had to have a meal before leaving.
Even though she helped with a few guest roles that didn't have much of a role, she didn't think it was a big help to Li Qian. After all, Hengdian was full of extras and special guest actors.
But since she was invited again and again, Tong Liya stopped being pretentious and said with a smile, "Director Li spent a lot of money."
It took more than half an hour to load all the equipment into the vehicle, clean up the scene, the crew added equipment, and four vans drove towards Hengdian.
The closing banquet was held in an ordinary small restaurant, with more than 20 people sitting at three tables.
There is no good wine or food, just for the atmosphere.
As a director, Li Qian toasted the first glass of wine without hesitation.
"Thank you all for your hard work over the past half month, so that my first feature film can be successfully completed. The film "Sniper Phone Booth" also belongs to everyone."
“Not much to say, it’s all in the wine, thank you everyone!”
Raise your glass and drink it all!
"Pah, pah, pah, pah"
"Director Li is so proud!"
"Thank you, Director Li!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Li!"
Everyone also picked up their wine glasses. Even Song Yi and the other students felt honored at this time and felt that they also had a share of credit.
As if they had already seen the movie's clicks soaring after it was released, and it became another dark horse movie on the Internet, so that their hard work was not in vain, they followed suit and drank the wine in the glass with excitement.
However.
"Cough cough cough cough"
Song Yi and the two girls just poured the wine into their mouths, and before they could swallow it, all the wine spurted out.
"Ahem"
The two girls were choked in the throat, their noses felt uncomfortable, and they kept coughing with their hands on the table.
"Ha ha ha ha"
At the dinner table, everyone seemed more casual than they were on a set, and they all laughed out loud.
Li Qian shook his head. Fortunately, they only had beer in their glasses, otherwise they would have fainted on the spot.
"Cough a few more times, give them a glass of water, and drink some water smoothly."
"You young people should also adapt to drinking. After all, this industry requires socializing, and being able to drink is also good for your own safety."
"No cough cough cough" Song Yi shook her head desperately. She didn't want to experience the feeling just now again.
"Don't talk. No one will be around from now on. If you can't drink, don't drink." Tong Liya gently patted their backs and warned them.
Peng Yuchang stared blankly at the two young ladies across from him who were coughing so uncomfortably. He looked down at the cup in his hand and didn't know what to do.
Everyone had done it just now, but he was irritated by the smell of alcohol as soon as he raised the cup to his mouth.
Here was the white wine that Lei Jiayin poured for him. As soon as it arrived at the dinner table, Lei Jiayin, a Northeastern man, was very excited. According to him, men should drink white wine.
I was still hesitating whether to drink it, but ended up spitting it out on the other side.
Gritting his teeth, Peng Yuchang closed his eyes and was about to suffocate.
"Peng Peng, why don't you drink beer instead? If you drink too much, I won't serve you tonight."
Li Qian saw him looking like he was about to go to the execution ground, so he quickly took him in his mouth, raised his glass and smiled at him.
"Peng Peng has been working hard these days cleaning my house, buying breakfast, and buying late night snacks. I'm a little reluctant to let you go."
"Thank you, boss."
Peng Yuchang felt like he was being pardoned and quickly changed his beer to return the favor to Li Qian.
Generally speaking, a meal is a time for both the host and the guest to enjoy themselves, and what they eat and drink is an atmosphere. When the atmosphere is good, no matter what they eat, they are all happy.
After that, they all went back to their respective homes. Many people may never have the chance to meet each other in the future. The crew was like this. They worked together for several months while filming every day. After the filming was over, they didn’t have the opportunity to collaborate. Meeting each other was the norm.
Everyone said goodbye at the door, and Tong Liya thought about it before leaving and apologized to Li Qian.
"Director Li, I'm sorry, I had a bad attitude before, I thought"
Li Qian waved his hand and said with a smile, "Miss Tong, you're too polite. It's just a trivial matter. I know what Hengdian is like. I still have to ask them to be more careful in the future."
Not only was she deceived, but she was tricked into signing a cheating management contract for more than ten years. That would be the end of it. If you don't pay a large sum of money, you can't escape.
"By the way, my "Sniper Phone Booth" is expected to be broadcast online soon. You can go and watch it then and support it."
Tong Liya smiled and said, "That's for sure. I'm also looking forward to seeing Director Li's works."
When chatting with Song Yi and others, Tong Liya often heard them say how good the film was, but she was also filming and had no time to read the script.
As Chinese opera students, they all have certain aesthetics. The male protagonist of the movie is also from the Shanghai Theater Academy, and Lu Entai is also invited to make a cameo, so it shouldn't be too bad.
In addition, the director is only 24 years old and he wrote the script himself, so Tong Liya is really curious.
After sending everyone away, Li Qian also drove back in a van. He just looked at Peng Yuchang, who was already asleep in the back seat, and sighed.
Sitting next to Lei Jiayin, a Northeastern man, it is impossible to drink too much.
ps: Sorry for being late, my brother is back from vacation and I took him out for a meal.
