On the evening of April 4th, the crew of "Waiting Alone" held a wrapping party at the Shengjing Hotel not far from Nortel. Su Ya was treating guests, and all the crew members, as well as several main actors, were invited. Wan Xiaohu's original plan was to have a meal at Liji Pickled Fish, but Su Ya felt that since no one was getting paid, she would be really embarrassed if she didn't treat her to a good meal. Only then did we book the four-star Shengjing Hotel. Stage manager Liu Yang was responsible for arranging the banquet, while Wan Xiaohu and Li Xia took the time to reconcile with Su Ya. In Nortel's dormitory, Li Xia added up items one by one: "Food expenses, a total of 2,500 yuan, beverage expenses, 380 yuan, gas expenses, 8,200 yuan, DV camera rental fee and the cost of the tape, the total is 45,600 yuan, the film camera rental fee and the film cost, the total is 39,400 yuan" "Throw away Agni Clothing, Xiali Automobile Company, and Left Bank Coffee Shop With a sponsorship of 150,000 yuan, the crew spent a total of 387,200 yuan. There are still post-production editing costs, which are estimated to be 40,000 yuan" "The total investment is 580,000 yuan." "One payment at a time. Pen, everything is written down clearly on the paper. After finishing the calculation, he handed it over to Su Ya for review, while Wan Xiaohu looked through the tapes and films he had piled up on the entire bed. Five or six hundred thousand yuan was exchanged for this pile. These are the original content of the movie, or in other words, most of them have no existing value. For DV photography, you will edit on the computer, then transfer to film magnetically, and use the film to make the final embedded edit. These tapes can only be stored in Dandelion Company's warehouse as original copies. Of course, Su Ya currently does not have the funds to purchase an office for Dandelion Company, so these tapes can only be taken to the warehouse of Dandelion souvenir shop. "The accounts are correct." After Su Ya browsed them, the handover of the crew's money was completed. Wan Xiaohu handed a carefully packaged film copy to Su Ya: "Su Ya, put this copy in your car. Tomorrow you and Li Xia will go to the Beijing Film Studio and spend a little money to let Beijing Film Studio People from the film studio will accompany you to the film bureau for review. We will try to get the film approved within a week. "You won't go?" "I will do the post-editing." What's going on in it? Your movie hasn't been edited yet. What should I take to submit for review? " Wan Xiaohu explained: "What you have in your hand is the first version that I edited a few days ago. The specific content is quite different. , but there is no such detailed editing. In order to complete the review before the film festival, I can only use this method. I will complete the film editing work in the next few days. "Is there anything wrong with this?" a little worried. ¡°It¡¯s okay, that¡¯s what movie makers do.¡± Wan Xiaohu smiled and did not explain further. Movie review may sound difficult, but it¡¯s actually quite easy. Before the filming is completed, many directors will edit a preliminary version in advance and send it for review in order to catch up with participating in some film festivals. In this way, after the review is completed, the film can be completed and go directly to the exhibition. There are even times when certain films have already participated in film exhibitions before they have passed the review. If you are caught, you will be fined a small amount, and the most serious thing is that it will be banned from being shown in domestic theaters. As long as the content of the movie does not violate the bottom line, the film bureau will not pursue it too closely. Otherwise, half of the directors in China would be in trouble if they really wanted to pursue it. For the movie "Waiting Alone", Wan Xiaohu has no plans to release it in theaters, so he is naturally not afraid of the film bureau's manipulation. Having sorted out the bills and copies, it¡¯s already past seven o¡¯clock. "Hurry up and eat. They are probably all waiting in the hotel." Su Ya asked Li Xia to drive. She took out a box from the passenger's storage box and handed it to Wan Xiaohu, "Tiger, I'll give you a box." "Why are you giving me a mobile phone?" Wan Xiaohu opened the box and found a black and white Motorola mobile phone. "On business. As the first contracted director of Dandelion Film Company and one of the company's major shareholders, you don't even have a mobile phone, which is too embarrassing for our company. And we often can't contact you at work. In view of this, In the name of business, I give you a mobile phone. The number has been set up, and 500 yuan of phone bills have been charged. When the money is used up, I will charge it for you." Li Xia said sourly from the side: "Producer Su, I am also an assistant director, why don¡¯t you have one for me?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you have a mobile phone?¡± ¡°I have a mobile phone, but I don¡¯t have enough phone money!¡± ¡°If you are willing to join Dandelion Film Company, the phone bill will be given to you. Pay!" Su Ya started to win over Li Xia again after Wan Xiaohu. At present, Dandelion Film Company only has Su Ya andThere are two people, Xiaohu, oh, former employees of Dandelion souvenir shop, and also employees of the film company. Li Xia asked: "I heard from Tiger that he has partnered with you?" "Yes. Do you want to come in? Although the company is small, there are many positions. If you come, I will give you a sales manager position." "But I'm still a student." Li Xia's eyes lit up when he heard the position of sales manager, and then he hesitated. "Don't do it." Wan Xiaohu tinkered with mobile phones for a while. He was familiar with touch-screen mobile phones and was already very unfamiliar with the keyboard mobile phones of this era. Hearing Su Ya's words, he patted his forehead: "Su Ya, don't cheat Ma Xia, Ma Xia can't resist temptation." Then he said to Ma Xia, "Su Ya and I are in this company. To be honest, you want to come?" I definitely nodded in agreement, we are good buddies, but I have to say, now that you can go to school, learn more about editing, directing, and publishing, and don¡¯t think about leaving school. , otherwise you will regret it." "Then why don't you want to go back to school?" Wan Xiaohu planned to leave school after filming, and Li Xia, Chen Chong and others did not hide this. Wan Xiaohu smiled: "I'm different from you. I'm a genius and have already mastered all the knowledge. You'd better practice hard, just like ordinary people. Besides, DVDs have been so fierce in the past two years that the film industry can't resist it, right? It's very prosperous. Even if you come out to hang out, there won't be any good opportunities. After the cultivation is completed, the film industry will probably recover soon, which is the time for you to show your talents. " "Then you still dare to start at this time. "A movie company?" "Su Ya wants to open one. I can't bear to see her go bankrupt and jump off the building. In the spirit of humanitarianism, I have to help Su Ya make a fortune," Wan Xiaohu joked. Su Ya smiled and asked: "Are you so confident that the company can make a fortune?" "When did you see me losing confidence?" "That's right, you are a person who is always overconfident." The distance is not far, and it will be over soon. Arrive at Shengjing Restaurant. Li Xia turned off the car, walked up to Wan Xiaohu, and said with some emotion: "Tiger, to be honest, I really don't want to go back to class now." "What's wrong?" "It's boring. I've been studying in school for two years. , I feel like I didn¡¯t learn as much as I did on the set of ¡°Waiting Alone¡± for more than twenty days. Tell me, what¡¯s the point of studying in school? It¡¯s better to go to a few sets to gain experience.¡± Wan Xiaohu hugged Li Xia and asked. Walking to the hotel: "Li Xia, you have to think like this. In school, you learn basic skills, which seem to be of little use. But without these basic skills, you can't adapt to all the choreography and directing work of a crew so quickly. Even if you adapt "Waiting Alone", there are more and bigger crews outside, are you sure you can adapt? " "I" "Ma Xia, believe me, our future is bright, but the first thing is. Recharge yourself and accumulate more, this is the way to go!¡±
