Chapter 24 Finale Banquet
For the final banquet, Zhang Chen looked for a restaurant near Nortel.
The richest man Li originally wanted to arrange it, but Zhang Chen refused.
The wedding banquet is meant to be lively, and the more down-to-earth the better. Although going to a star-rated hotel is high-end, I always feel less comfortable.
A total of four tables were opened. Zhang Chen, the richest man Li, and Lao Li must be the main table. Also at the same table are the leaders of each group and the leading actor Che Xiao.
The rest of the people were spread out at other tables.
The 20-year-old Fenjiu wine on the table came from the trunk of the bodyguard’s car.
There is no opening, everyone just eats and drinks. The closing banquet is the farewell banquet. After eating, everyone will go their separate ways. The banquet has been lively from the beginning.
Because we are all students from Nortel, we are not as sad about parting as other crew members. We mostly still drink, talk, and eat and drink as much as we can.
Zhang Chen was grabbed and drank a lot of wine.
Although I don’t know how this movie will ultimately fare at the box office, Zhang Chen’s ability has been obvious to everyone in the past two days.
Being able to achieve this level in the first movie shows that Zhang Chen was born to eat this kind of rice.
University is a small society. Students in film and television universities will only understand the sophistication of people earlier. Everyone knows how important connections are in the circle.
It is instinct to have a good relationship with any director.
"Director Zhang, I admire you, think of your brothers when you have a job in the future~"
"Director Zhang, I have benefited a lot from these days. Please take care of me in the future. I will finish this cup~"
"Director Zhang, you have my phone number. If you find a suitable role in the future, please remember me. , on call..."
One night, Zhang Chen didn't know how many words he heard like this, which gave him the illusion that he had succeeded.
Of course, there was another protagonist that night, the richest man Li.
It is not easy to establish relationships with wealthy people of this level. Juniors and seniors with a little experience are all interested in making friends.
The bold ones directly asked people for their contact information, while the timid ones just wanted to build a good relationship with Che Xiao.
After all, in their opinion, Zhang Chen only made movies by hugging other people's thighs. If one day they also have an idea, the richest man Li is a ready-made thigh.
Old Li has not been let off. He has always been the spokesperson of Richest Man Li on the crew, and is naturally regarded as a direct descendant. In ancient times, he was a close official who could slander.
The richest man Li accepts all comers. He has always been the protagonist on such occasions. I am a hero and a good man. I cannot drink or be a coal boss.
"Our group will enter the entertainment industry in a while, and Lao Li will be the person in charge. You all leave your contact information to him, and we will cooperate more when the time comes."
Everyone cheered when they heard that Mr. Li was also planning to make a movie. This was not only a job opportunity, but also an opportunity to make friends with Mr. Li.
Lao Li was even more flattered. Richest man Li had never been angry with him before.
Although the chairman is young, he always keeps his word. He is responsible for a sector independently, and he is in the imperial capital. Who is he, a feudal official?
The richest man Li was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He said this not to deceive others, but his true thoughts.
In the past, film and television production had a mysterious aura, and I thought it must be something very high-end.
After spending a few days on the crew and personally experiencing the entire process of film shooting, he really didn't find anything difficult in film and television production.
There is a script, recruit some people, find two little stars, and this can be done.
As long as you have money, these are easy to find.
Especially the little stars.
When he was in Nortel these days, he often saw luxury cars coming in and out to pick up female students, which seemed to open a door to a new world for him.
The atmosphere reached a climax, and people at other tables basically went to the main table to listen to Mr. Li's bragging. Zhang Chen secretly withdrew and ran to the table where Lao Cao was.
"Why didn't you go there?" Zhang Chen sat down next to Cao Bingkun. Cao Bingkun curled his lips: "He doesn't want to see me, what did I do there?"
After spending time together, Lao Cao could clearly feel that the richest man Li didn't like him very much, probably because he and he Che Xiao’s relationship is so good.
“Why did you come here again?”
"Me? I'm too lazy to praise his stinky feet."
"Hahaha, Haozi is here too..."
When everyone turned around, they found that Ning Hao had also withdrawn from the crowd. Come toward them.
"I came here to get some air, I really can't deal with the atmosphere over there."
Speaking of this, the three brothers looked at each other and smiled.
Zeng Li, who was at the same table, took the opportunity to ask: "Director, when will our movie be released?"
"It's not decided yet. I'm thinking about May Day. You must mobilize the people around you by then. Go to the theater to support."
"Definitely."
Everyone agreed, and Zeng Li asked worriedly: "Director, do you think our movie will do well at the box office? ”
“Don’t you feel whether your photo is good or not? ”
"Of course I know, the script is good, and the actors are good, but after all, it is a subject that has never appeared before..."
"Don't worry, it is easier to become popular just because it has never appeared before." I said, you don’t need to think about this at all. The box office is what I should consider as a director. You should worry more about yourself.”
“What’s wrong with me?”
“In May. From now on, you have to wear sunglasses when you go out.”
“Hahaha, director, I’d like to lend you a blessing.”
The closing banquet lasted until past ten o'clock in the evening, and most of the people drank too much.
But it is next to Nortel, so it is very convenient to go back to sleep.
The meal cost three thousand yuan, but fortunately he didn’t have to pay for the wine, otherwise he might have had to double it.
After the closing banquet, the crew was officially disbanded, leaving only the post-production period.
Nortel has its own editing room. Zhang Chen definitely used it if he could. He stayed in it for three days and finally finished editing.
As for other work such as color grading, sound production, and special effects synthesis, Zhang Chen directly approached seniors who were doing post-production work.
These people were also contacted by Teacher Fu, and they are all experienced hands.
Zhang Chen treated them to a meal and then negotiated the price.
The students are very happy to be able to receive private work. As for the quality, Zhang Chen is not worried at all. Take the two special effects shots as an example, they are the simplest green screen synthesis, that is It is equivalent to the difficulty of other people's usual homework, and there is no problem at all in completing it.
At the end of March, the post-production work was finally completed, and Zhang Chen invited Teacher Fu to watch the finished film.
After reading it, Teacher Fu was very satisfied. The quality of his student's first work far exceeded his expectations.
The story is gripping, the rhythm is well controlled, and the horror atmosphere is created very well, making people want to stop.
"Tomorrow I will take you to meet the people from Guangguang to talk about distribution."
There is nothing wrong with helping students, but you should also consider the impact of introducing your own connections. If what Zhang Chen was photographing was a piece of shit, even his own son, Teacher Fu, would not introduce him to any resources.
But Zhang Chen’s movie is very good, and Teacher Fu has a sense of satisfaction that the flower bones that have been carefully watered are finally blooming, so he spares no effort to help.
