Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 25 Finished
"Hey!"

Wang Zhiwen nodded heavily.

"I will certainly be careful."

"In fact, I won't be going out that often. I have to study hard in the remaining months. I'm afraid I won't be admitted because I'm stuck in the academic subjects."

“Hahaha, that shouldn’t be the case.” Huang Ze smiled. You’re an art student, but you’re stuck in cultural subjects. How bad must you be?
There are many people in the entertainment industry who are educated, but they can't be educated to this extent, right?

"Brother Huang, I don't know when we'll meet again. If you become a director, remember to ask me to play a role. A passerby is fine. I don't want any money!"

"If it doesn't cost money, I would rather have you be the protagonist." Huang Ze said with a smile.

"Sure! Let me be the protagonist, I don't want a cent."

"Well, we will meet again."

"Goodbye."

Wang Zhiwen, who had finished all his scenes, left the crew.

There aren't many scenes left to shoot.

A fire broke out in the school. The principal severely criticized Teacher Zhou Shu, asked him to leave the school, and specifically emphasized that he was not allowed to go back to see the students!

Zhou Shu left the dormitory dejectedly, carrying his suitcase.

As he walked, his mood became heavier and heavier. None of the students, with whom he had been with for a long time, violated the principal's ban and came to see him off.

Although he knew that this was a sign of abiding by the rules, he couldn't feel better no matter what.

But when he walked to the bottom of the classroom, he found paper airplanes all over the ground, and some were flying down from time to time.

I picked it up and found that it was filled with farewell words from students to their teachers.

Looking at the notes and words, Teacher Zhou Shu couldn't help but smile.

……

The last clip shot at school was still near the built-up school gate!

Teacher Zhou Shu walked out of the school carrying his box. Before leaving, he looked back at the school and then reluctantly walked back the way he came.

"I leave it to you." Bai Cheng smiled and handed the shooting opportunity to Huang Ze.

“I want to shoot this during the magic light hour tomorrow morning.”

"no problem!"

The next day, when the magic light was almost over, Huang Ze started the camera.

When Teacher Zhou Shu was leaving, Pi Gang, whom he met at the door when he came, who was waiting for his father to pick him up on Saturday, came running towards the camera from the direction where the sun was rising with all his belongings.

"Teacher Zhou Shu, Teacher Zhou Shu, can you take me away?"

"what are you doing?"

"Will you take me with you?"

"I can't do this. You'll be punished if you leave school."

"I beg you."

"Go back, let's go."

Pi Gang walked obediently, turned around and walked a few steps, then turned to look at Teacher Zhou Shu. Zhou Shu walked for a few more seconds, then also stopped and turned around.

He knew that Pi Gang would never be able to wait for his father. If he didn't go with him, the orphanage would be his final destination.
Pi Gang ran over and held Zhou Shu's hand.

Two figures, one big and one small, walked very far away.

"Kacha!" Huang Ze shouted, then ran to Director Bai Cheng and put the loudspeaker to his mouth.

“We’re done!”

"Huh!" Everyone cheered.

After more than a month of hard work, it is finally over.

More importantly, I am one step closer to having this work, which I have put so much sweat into, come to fruition and meet the audience.

"Everyone can take a break now, we still have to keep busy." Bai Cheng looked at Huang Ze with a smile.

"Forehead."

……

What Bai Cheng said was absolutely right. In the coming period, Huang Ze, the executive deputy director, will be very busy.

Editing, because he has the original film in his head, he wants to participate.

Not to mention the soundtrack. It was his job to do it.

In addition to the three English songs, there were also several Chinese songs that the students had to sing again until they were suitable for the movie.

Such as Li Shutong's "Farewell".

And the song "Missing You" which Huang Ze wrote for Zhou Shu and asked his students to sing for the first time.

Just the song "Where are you from, my friend..." sung by Mao Aming in the previous life.

After a full forty days of such busyness, the post-production of this film without special effects was finally completed!

“Haha, it’s finally done!”

After watching the finished film and seeing Bai Cheng nodded to indicate that it was okay, Huang Ze lay down on the backrest.

I finally took my first step.

All that remains is to see how the final film performs.

If my grades are good, I will most likely be able to make the leap from photography to becoming a director.

One step ahead of Zhang Yimou.

"Oh, Uncle Bai, I think we can try to push this film to the three major European film festivals!" Huang Ze thought of the fact that Under the Bridge in his previous life was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, so there must be channels in this regard. He couldn't help but ask, "For example, Venice?"

“This film is indeed suitable for trying to promote it in Europe.”

"But how did you know to choose Venice?" Bai Cheng looked at Huang Ze strangely.

"Guess."

"Haha, you guessed it right." Bai Cheng didn't ask any more questions and just believed it. "There's an Italian filmmaker named Marco Muller. Have you heard of him?"

Old Ma.

He is an important person in promoting domestic films to the top three in Europe.

"Of course I haven't heard of it."

"When he was studying at university here, he watched the film The Red Detachment of Women directed by Xie Jin from our factory, and then he found a way to get to know Xie Jin, and the two became good friends."

"Marco Mueller is now in charge of selecting Asian films at the Venice Film Festival."

“You can try contacting him.”

"Of course, before that, I must convince Director Xu first. I don't have that much face!"

"Then I'll ask Director Xu to watch this movie together? He's also the producer." Huang Ze said impatiently.

"I'll go too!"

The two of them went to the office of Factory Director Xu Shangchu together.

"What's the matter?" Director Xu put down his hand that was writing, "Did you encounter any problems?"

“The film “Spring of the Underachievers” has been released.”

"Oh?" Director Xu's eyes lit up and he stood up immediately. "Let's go and take a look. I'm not afraid of you knowing that I have high hopes for your film!"

Huang Ze quickly walked to the projection room and naturally became the projectionist.

The film is not very long, just over an hour and a half.

Soon, Xu Shangchu finished reading.

He first wiped the corners of his eyes, then clapped his hands, "Great teacher!"

“I think it’s a great movie!”

"Congratulations, Director Bai, you've made a masterpiece!"

"Without Director Xu's support, this film would never have been made."

"Look at you, you're still trying to flatter me." Xu Shangchu pretended to be angry, "Come on, this is not like your character. Do you have something to tell me?"

"Well, what do you think of this movie?" Bai Cheng asked.

"Okay!"

"There are three English songs here, what do you think?" Bai Cheng asked again.

"It sounds pretty good, and the young actor was well chosen! He's quite talented."

"What do you think about recommending this film to Marco Muller and asking him to take it to the Venice Film Festival?"

I have been recommending it these days. I hope you will not keep it. Reading is very important for new books. Thank you.
