Chapter 940 – Setting The Date To Release The Movie!
A month passed by quickly.
In the shooting base, all the staff worked hard and did their job meticulously during this month.
In addition, He Gaoming’s martial arts team was amazing, and the actors excelled at acting. They nearly filmed every scene with one take.
Even in some delicate shots, they wouldn’t retake them more than three times.
This kind of shooting speed didn’t only amaze Director Chen Xiaogang, but also the actor who played Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Baoguo.
“I’ve been filming for most of my life. This is the first time I’ve filmed a movie so smoothly. It’s finished in a month.”
Li Baoguo, who was the first to finish filming his scenes, could not help but exclaim as he looked at the last scene filmed by Director Chen Xiaogang.
It was the last scene of the movie.
Sitting in front of the monitor, Director Chen Xiaogang stared intently at the monitor screen.
On the screen, Yang Yizhi, played by Fang Qiu, walked away against the morning sun.
“Cut!” Just as Fang Qiu walked to the exact position, Director Chen Xiaogang immediately stood up excitedly and shouted to everyone, “It’s a wrap!”
As soon as he said that, all the actors and staff cheered with smiles.
Fang Qiu also smiled.
A month finally passed.
As expected, the movie finished shooting on time, which was in line with Fang Qiu’s schedule.
“All right.” Director Chen Xiaogang excitedly called everyone and said, “Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Don’t leave today. Let’s have a celebratory drink tonight!”
It was already a common thing to have a celebratory drink and banquet in the entertainment circle.
These two were different. A celebratory drink represented the completion of one thing. For instance, a musician finished the production of a record. A TV drama director finished the shooting of a TV show.
Having a celebratory drink was to express appreciation to all the staff members, while the celebratory banquet was different. The celebratory banquet represented a gratifying achievement, such as the film box reaching hundreds of millions, etc.
After having the celebratory drink, it was very likely that everyone would gather together again at the celebratory banquet.
In the evening, all the actors removed their makeup, and the staff put away all their instruments. Everyone took a shower, changed into clean clothes one by one, and went to a rather famous restaurant outside the shooting base.
Under the arrangement of waiters, everyone gathered together.
“To tell you the truth.” After the dishes were served, Director Chen Xiaogang was pouring wine while saying, “I have made a number of movies in my life. However, this is the first time I’ve finished shooting a movie in such a short time!”
Speaking of this, Chen Xiaogang stood up and raised the goblet that he had just filled to the brim. Putting on a toasting posture, he said to all the actors and staff members, “Thank you for your efforts. This is a movie that you have successfully created. Without everyone’s assistance, there will be no miracle of a movie being completed in one month. Thank you all. I’ll finish my drink to show my respect to you first!”
“Okay!” The actors and staff got up to drink.
Fang Qiu also took a few sips.
They didn’t eat much food, but they drank a lot.
As Wulin people, He Gaoming and the others showed their strong capacity for liquor in front of everyone, which intimidated all the members of the crew.
There was nothing they could do about it. After all, they were overjoyed.
It was a total of one million.
They earned one million in a month, which was real money.
How could they not be overjoyed when this group of Wulin people, who had little money, made such a large sum of money in merely one month?
Everyone had a great time having the celebratory drink.
At the party, the actors who acted in the movie were happily taking photos with each other to remember the moment.
The celebratory party was still going on.
Some actors already posted photos of everyone gathering at the celebratory drink party after finishing filming the movie on Weibo.
As soon as the photos came out, they immediately attracted numerous netizens’ attention.
“It’s finished?”
“Didn’t they just announce that the shooting officially started?”
“I remember that the opening ceremony was held a month ago. Did they finish the shooting in 30 days?”
“Damn it! It normally takes Director Chen Xiaogang half a year or three seasons to finish filming a movie. How could he finish this one in just one month?”
“Isn’t it too fake since he made it so fast?”
“It took 30 days to film a movie. Is this an online TV drama?”
“Alas, it seems we were all fooled by Chen Xiaogang this time. A movie was made within one month. How good could it be?”
“Chen Xiaogang is too brainless. He is a renowned director. How could he make such a shitty movie? It’s simply impossible to watch a movie which was only made with one month, right?”
“I don’t want to watch it anymore. I feel like I’ve been cheated. How can a fu*king movie made in a month be counted as a movie? Even a variety show can’t be finished in a month, can it?”
“Chen Xiaogang has betrayed the professional ethics of a director!”
Countless netizens were discussing it.
Everyone felt that it was too unbelievable.
Though people didn’t know the exact process of making a movie, they heard about how it should be done.
In entertainment news, any shitty movie would take 3 to 5 months to finish, and some would even take 2 to 3 years to finish.
The first impression of the movie that was made in such a short time was that it must be awful!
Chen Xiaogang, who drank too much at the celebratory drink party, was woken up in the middle of the night by thirst. When he got up to drink water, he picked up his mobile phone and had a look. However, he saw that the notification of the headline of the news section on his mobile phone was that his movie was finished shooting.
As he was curious, Chen Xiaogang quickly logged into Weibo with his phone and saw the heated discussion and comments coming from the netizens.
“How can they say that it’s shitty and awful?” Seeing the comments made by the netizens, Chen Xiaogang became furious.
He pinned great hope on this movie.
He carried out everything with the strictest requirement. Whether it was the acting skills of the actors or the props required in the movie, he tried his best to deliver it perfectly.
He thought that if he could finish shooting a movie in a month, everyone would look forward to it even more. And he would receive more attention and praise.
He did not expect such an outcome.
Perhaps it was because he had not fully sobered up.
With anger in his heart, Chen Xiaogang sent a Weibo on impulse.
“The movie, Yang Yizhi, is officially finished shooting today. We temporarily decide that it will be released on August 2nd in the summer holiday!”
He posted it.
Even in the middle of the night, a large number of people were shocked by this post.
Of course, those who paid the most attention to it were the other directors.
“August 2nd? Did he set the date to release since he just finished shooting?”
“Not bad. Director Chen Xiaogang is really awesome. Ordinary people cannot afford to do that!”
“Director Chen is going to trap himself.”
“He’s opposing the audience. Director Chen is indeed a top-notch director. He dares to do such a thing. Amazing!”
“Haha, that’s a good move! I don’t believe that you won’t fall this time, Director Chen. If you fall, we can get a chance to rise.”
Soon, the directors in the show business were all thrilled when seeing the news.
Being a director was different from being an actor.
An actor could make a name for himself or herself through a good movie, a good TV series, or a good character. But a director was different. Even if they rose to fame with a masterpiece, it was still difficult for people to recognize them because they didn’t appear on TV, let alone remembering them.
Generally speaking, famous directors were prominent figures among all the directors.
However, with the existence of these top directors, many young directors couldn’t even make it to the top. Without decades of experience and several earth-shattering masterpieces, they wouldn’t be able to make a name for themselves.
Therefore, while showing respect to Chen Xiaogang, the directors were also hoping for an opportunity to surpass him.
Now, this opportunity came!
This time, Chen Xiaogang was finished!
Excited about the completion of the shooting, Zhao Rulong, who had not slept all night, finally felt a little sleepy after writing his scripts for most of the night.
He lay down on the bed and was about to check his phone before falling asleep.
But when he checked online, he immediately saw the public opinion about this movie which had been finished shooting too early. He also felt upset. However, as he saw the Weibo that Chen Xiaogang had just posted, the drowsiness he felt disappeared in an instant.
“Swish.” Without hesitation, Zhao Rulong straightened his back. He was scared out of his wits and quickly gave Chen Xiaogang a call.
“Zhao, what’s the matter?” Chen Xiaogang answered the call.
Zhao Rulong asked anxiously, “Xiaogang, our movie has just been finished shooting today. We haven’t done post-production yet. There are still various editings etc. We still have a lot of things to do, and it’s almost April. You directly announce that it’ll be released on August 2nd. There are only four months left. Can we make it?”
Chen Xiaogang immediately said, “Don’t worry. Since people don’t believe in us, we will give it all and let the audience watch carefully. No matter how short the time I take to make a movie, it will definitely be of the highest quality!”
“Although that’s the case, I still think that it is a bit too rushed to finish the movie in four months.” Zhao Rulong was still worried.
“Haha.” Chen Xiaogang laughed out loud and asked, “Don’t you think that after I make this move, it will save us a lot of publicity fees?”
“Hmm?” Zhao Rulong was stunned, and then he instantly came to an understanding and exclaimed with shock. “Incredible! You’ve forced yourself and also fooled everyone at the same time. Amazing!”
“Haha.” Chen Xiaogang laughed out loud.
The next day, everyone left one after another.
There were only Fang Qiu and the others left in the shooting base.
“Beep, beep, beep…” In the afternoon, Fang Qiu, who was looking at the giant tiger in the warehouse, suddenly received a call from He Xue.
“Hello?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.
“I heard that your movie has been finished shooting, right?” He Xue’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Perfect. The thing you asked me to deal with has been settled. When are you coming back?”
“I’ll be back in a few days,” answered Fang Qiu.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” He Xue nodded in understanding and hung up.
Hanging up the phone, Fang Qiu continued to stare at the innocent giant tiger in front of him. He was at his wits’ end.
How could he transport such a big tiger back since he couldn’t bring it out in broad daylight?
