The results of the test shoot were very good, even exceeding Zhou Yan's expectations.
Everyone has been preparing for this scene for a long time. After completing the planned tasks, each department will spontaneously study this scene.
Everyone knows the importance of this scene to the movie and the difficulty of filming this scene, so no one wants to be the one holding back.
However, although the results of the trial shooting were very good, it is not the time to relax yet. Everyone is working hard to complete this scene.
Of course, although it was a test shoot, Zhou Yan kept many of the shots, and maybe he might use them later, because there were indeed many shots that were very good.
For example, in the scene where the guests are walking back when they are caught in the rain, everyone's performance can be said to be perfect, and it can be used as a feature film.
The official shooting took place the next day. Everyone was familiar with the process and performed even better than during the test shooting, and there were no accidents during the process.
All shots were completed within the time planned by Zhou Yan.
When the last scene was shot, Zhou Yan raised the loudspeaker and shouted, "It's over, call it a day."
Everyone cheered at the scene, even though the movie was less than half shot , but they drew a successful conclusion at the end of the game.
During this period, everyone on the crew worked together sincerely and completed the shooting almost perfectly, and also advanced the planning period by two or three days.
After everyone cheered for a while, Zhou Yan said again, "It's getting late today. Let's go back and have a rest early. The crew will have a holiday tomorrow and the next two days. You can move around freely. Of course, you are not allowed to leave Pengcheng. , and if you want to stay out overnight, you need to report it to the team.”
“Also, there will be a celebration banquet tomorrow night, which will be held in the village. Of course, this celebration banquet is not mandatory. Participate. If you are willing to participate, please go to Director Shen to sign up later.”
The cheers at the scene became even louder. Although they did not feel very tired during this period of filming, they were very happy to have a holiday. I'm happy because many of them have been here for so long and haven't had much fun at Jiaochangwei, let alone inside Pengcheng City.
The economy in Pengcheng is developing rapidly and it is more connected with the outside world. Compared with Yanjing, it is easier to buy some interesting things.
Seeing how happy everyone was, Zhou Yan also laughed.
Normally, he doesn’t like to do this kind of thing like popping champagne at halftime, but everyone has really worked hard during this period. They will leave the end of the game in two days, so he might as well give everyone two days off to rest. rest.
It is more of a reward banquet than a celebration banquet.
Shen Yan was standing next to Zhou Yan and said with a smile, "Director Zhou, why not let them report those who are unwilling to attend the celebration banquet. Most people must be willing to attend the celebration banquet. , just record the people who are unwilling to participate, and it will be less work."
Logically speaking, Shen Yan's suggestion is right. Recording fewer people can indeed save a lot of trouble.
But Zhou Yan shook his head, "Some people don't want to attend the celebration banquet, but they may not be embarrassed to tell you. Letting those who are willing to come sign up can reduce the pressure on everyone."
Shen Yan immediately understood what Zhou Yan meant. , he secretly gave Zhou Yan a thumbs up, otherwise it would be said that Director Zhou's crew is more stable than other crews. Director Zhou's handling of these details is really beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
He only thought about saving trouble and did not think about this level at all.
After Zhou Yan left, Ana Shen couldn't help but said to Li Hong, "Old Li, Director Zhou is really awesome, I have to learn from Director Zhou."
"This Shouldn't you have understood the truth a long time ago?" Li Hong smiled and said, "Actually, Director Zhou still has something to say to you."
"What are you talking about?" Shen Yan asked curiously: "Are you talking about signing up?"
"Well, it's about signing up for the celebration banquet." Li Hong nodded, "Let those who are willing to participate Signing up will not only avoid putting pressure on people who don’t want to come, but also increase everyone’s enthusiasm.”
“How do you say this?” Shen Yan didn’t quite understand.
"Old Shen, let me tell you a story. When we were in junior high school, the head teacher issued a policy that as long as students were not late for a semester, they would get a notepad. Stick to it for a month. It is not difficult for junior high school students to not be late. There were not many people who were late, but after this policy came out, there were even fewer people who were late. So by the end of the semester, only two people did not get the notebook."
“If you want to save trouble, the class teacher could directly name the two students, exclude them first, and then give the notebooks to others. But the class teacher did not do this, but called all the people who got the notebooks one by one. We went up to get our notebooks, and there were eighty-nine students who were not late. Not one of them was left behind. The teacher called out their names and all came up to the podium. Do you think the class teacher was just trying to save the face of the other two students? "< br>
"Isn't it?" Ana Shen seemed to understand but not understand.
“Of course not, I am one of the eighty-nine students. Although I know that most of them got notepads, I am not special, but when I was called by the teacher’s name, I walked up to After the podium, I still felt a sense of accomplishment. It seemed troublesome to ask people who were willing to come, but it gave the staff a chance to feel successful."
Shen Yan frowned. I think what Li Hong said makes sense, but I feel that Director Zhou may not necessarily think so. Maybe Director Zhou wants to reduce the pressure on those who can't come.
Seeing Ana Shen's confused expression, Li Hong smiled and patted his shoulder, "One last thing, you are a new member of the director team, and you are not very familiar with the rest of the crew. Let everyone They all come to sign up for you, and it also allows you to talk to everyone more. It seems to be a lot of trouble, but it actually gives you a chance."
Shen Yan's expression was stagnant, Director Zhou was actually doing this for himself. For your own sake?
Seeing the change in Ana Shen's expression, Li Hong showed a meaningful smile. He was not sure whether Zhou Yan thought so, but he still told Ana Shen so, hoping that Ana Shen would have more respect for Zhou Yan in his heart. .
The crew needs unity, and the core of unity is Zhou Yan. As the assistant director, he should work hard in this direction and let everyone hug Zhou Yan.
Li Hong is probably the least ambitious of all the assistant directors in Zhou Yan.
Other directors followed Zhou Yan, all they wanted to do was practice their skills and get the chance to shoot their own movies.
Li Hong thought this way before, but as time went by, his thoughts gradually changed.
Now he has gradually become indifferent to the fact that he is on his own. If he has the opportunity, he can make one or two movies. If he doesn't have the opportunity, it doesn't matter at all.
But as long as Zhou Yan makes a movie, he must be Zhou Yan's assistant director.
Because he has also realized one thing over the years, that is, his ability is not suitable for acting alone. Compared with being the director himself, he can play a better role in the position of assistant director.
Especially after following Zhou Yan and seeing Zhou Yan's unbridled ideas and Zhou Yan's unparalleled personal charm, he understood better that instead of thinking about going it alone, it was better to assist Zhou Yan.
When he makes his own movies, his upper limit can be seen at a glance.
But by assisting Zhou Yan in making movies, he was able to reach a position that ordinary people cannot reach.
And Zhou Yan is very kind to his own people and will never treat him badly.
Here, Ana Shen was still in a daze, but Hong Xin had already walked over, "Director Shen, I'll sign up for tomorrow's celebration banquet. Please write down my name." "Oh, okay." Ana Shen replied Suddenly, he took out his notebook and pen and wrote down Hong Xin's name.
As soon as he wrote Hong Xin's name, everyone else ran over, and soon he was surrounded by staff.
...
The next morning, Zhou Yan took Wang Zuxian to find Zhou Hong.
During this period, he finally had time, so he thought about going to Zhou Entertainment today.
As soon as they arrived at Zhou Hong's villa, they heard Zhou Hong smile and say, "I just saw your wedding news in the newspaper."
"Wedding news?"
Zhou Hong pointed to the newspaper on the coffee table, "Read it for yourselves."
Wang Zuxian went to pick up the newspaper on the coffee table first, and when he saw the title on the front page, he couldn't help but curled up, " These entertainment reporters really dare to write about it.”
Zhou Yan went over to take a look and saw the headline on the front page: Breaking news, Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian held their wedding in Pengcheng yesterday!
Below the title is a very large photo.
In the photo, Wang Zuxian is wearing the red dress, standing next to the flower wall with Zhou Yan, with a smile on his face.
The most interesting thing is that this photo deliberately did not include the on-site staff and shooting equipment, making it look like a wedding.
For this shooting angle, the photographer should be at the place where tourists are watching.
Although the distance is far, the photo is quite clear, which shows that the person who took the photo was well prepared.
Looking at the text below, there is a long paragraph. The content of the previous paragraph probably means that according to insiders, Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian held a secret wedding somewhere in Pengcheng. There were not many guests.
Then he brought up the previous scandal between Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian and talked about it for a long time. In the last paragraph of the report, he mentioned that this might just be a movie.
In a whole page of news, there are less than ten words that are true, and these words are still hidden in the last paragraph. It is estimated that many readers will not be able to read this paragraph.
Even if you read it, you may ignore it.
It is estimated that in the minds of many people who have read the news, Zhou Yan is really married to Wang Zuxian.
Many times, this is how rumors appear.
Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian have long been accustomed to the style of writing of entertainment reporters. Wang Zuxian only complained a few words and said nothing more.
As for Zhou Hong, he didn't care anymore. Instead, he smiled and praised, "This photo is very good. I will go to this newspaper later and ask for the photo, so I can show it to my grandparents and make them happy in advance."
These words made Wang Zuxian a little embarrassed, "Second brother is still making fun of us."
"There has to be a wedding sooner or later." Zhou Hong smiled and clapped his hands, "Let's go, I I’ll take you to the company to have a look.”
……
The Zhou family has many industries, but Zhou Hong usually works in an industrial park in Futian. They have six companies in this industrial park. There are five shorter buildings, including factory buildings and a 12-story building for management offices.
Logically speaking, the scale of the six factory buildings is not large, and the managers cannot use the 12-story building, but Zhou Hong said that the building is basically full.
“There are several companies in this building. Sixty or seventy percent of our business is in this building.”
Walking to the door of the building, Zhou Hong gave Zhou Yan According to Wang Zuxian, "However, this number continues to decline, and it is expected to drop below 50% by next year. In the past two years, we have also been integrating and sorting out the business. There are too many businesses and too complex, which will affect the later development. The restrictions will be relatively large.”
“Our clothing business was doing relatively well before, but now most of the business has been outsourced to others. We are mainly responsible for taking over the business and handing it over to these outsourcers. Let’s build a factory to do it.”
Zhou Yan nodded. Outsourcing these basic businesses can reduce the weight of the family’s business. Although he gives up a little profit, he also spreads the risks.
Moreover, after these businesses are separated, management costs are also reduced.
To put it more loftily, it is to shift from the real industry to the service industry.
To put it more down-to-earth, it is a broker, who mainly earns intermediary fees.
"Will factories eventually be outsourced?" Zhou Yan asked.
Zhou Hong shook his head, "How is that possible? The business we outsource now are basically in the clothing industry, and this part of the business has no technical content. If we don't outsource, we will be too heavy, difficult to turn around, and easy to After losing weight, we shifted our focus to the electronics industry and accumulated technological advantages as early as possible. Our layout in the electronics industry is opposite to that in the clothing industry. We will first do intermediate business and then gradually build our own R&D center.” br>
While talking, the three of them walked into the lobby on the first floor.
The front desk immediately greeted him, "Good morning, Mr. Zhou."
The company's front desk was quite formal, with two young girls arranged to act as facades.
The two little girls saw Zhou Hong first, then Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian, and their eyes widened immediately.
Zhou Hong smiled and nodded to the front desk, then took Zhou Yan and the others to the elevator to the sixth floor.
"The entire sixth floor is owned by Zhou's Entertainment, which is relatively empty compared to the other floors. However, the sixth floor has a lot of production value, more than most floors."
Zhou's Entertainment currently has less business. There are not many profitable businesses, and many projects are losing money. For example, Huanyin has just signed Wang Lihong and Mayday, but these newcomers have not yet made money for the company.
The reason why the overall production value is high is mainly because they made a lot of money on the movie "The Sixth Sense".
When "The Sixth Sense" was filmed, Zhou Entertainment invested money. This movie alone made them a lot of money. Now they can earn from The movie gets its share of the money, and it will continue to do so for a long time to come. (End of this chapter)
