Director, please respect yourself

December 24, 2009, Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is a foreign festival!

Basically, it has nothing to do with the Chinese people. Not to mention that enterprises and institutions are on holiday. If the boss does not allow overtime work, it will be regarded as an incest among the employees.

But it's a bit sad to come to Yang Hao. Most of the staff and cast members of the "Awkward Journey" crew are students from Beijing Film Academy, and these students took leave from Yang Hao early.

Director, I have a headache tomorrow and want to take a day off?

Director, my aunt is coming tomorrow, so I have to stay at home.

Director, I want to go to Yonghegong Lama Temple tomorrow to find a great lama to settle my marriage. You said that I have written love letters to 147 girls in our school, but no girl is willing to pay attention to me?

…

If it is okay for two people to take leave alone, Yang Hao can ask his colleagues in the crew to take over, and the work will basically not be delayed. However, if more than half of the crew of 100 people have taken leave, then the crew will not be able to shoot normally. Conducted.

Therefore, Yang Hao could only give everyone a holiday.

On December 24th, the crew of "Unfortunately" took a day off, and on Christmas Day, the crew resumed filming.

The crew was on holiday, but Yang Hao couldn't rest.

Tomorrow, everyone will officially start work at Beijing Film Studio No. 1 Studio. As the director of "People on the Road", Yang Hao must go there in advance to take a look.

How is the train carriage installed?

How should the camera positions be arranged in the train carriage?

Can the LED displays on both sides of the carriage play normally?

Yang Hao needed to confirm all of these, so early on the 24th, he came out of Hejingyuan Community, crossed Xitucheng Road, and walked into the Beijing Film Studio.

In fact, before the Olympic Games last year, China Film Group had already built 16 large studios at its digital base in Huairou, some of which were as large as 5,000 square meters.

Therefore, compared with the past, the business of Beijing Film Studio is really much lighter now. In the past, the film crews queuing up to film in the factory area have all disappeared now. Only a few film and television drama crews who are unwilling to come to Huairou are using the studio here for outdoor filming.

The reason why Yang Hao chose this location for the filming of "On the Road" was not because it was close to home, but because it was cheap.

The rent per square meter per day is one yuan. This was something that would have been unthinkable in the past.

In this way, Yang Hao strolled forward while thinking about his own affairs. Soon, he came to the door of Studio No. 1.

Just as Yang Hao was about to open the door and go in, a middle-aged woman with short hair walked out of a car on the roadside.

"Uh, Mr. Chang, why are you here?"

Yang Hao seemed a little surprised to see Chang Jihong.

Some time ago, I arbitrarily converted Wang Luodan's guest remuneration into shares in "On the Road". This old lady was still unhappy with her boss and kept yelling on the phone...

Yang Hao, aren’t you like this?

After he tricked me, he tricked Wang Luodan again. Now it's better. When Wang Luodan came to the company, he gave me a piece of paper, saying that next time the company helps her take on a role, he won't need to take her share, and he will just use it. This white strip tops the tent.

Unexpectedly, less than a week later, this eldest sister would come to see me.

"Yang Hao..."

"Um?"

"Don't look at me like that. I said a few days ago that I never want to see you again.

But one code is the same, there are some serious things I still need to talk to you about. "

After all, Chang Jihong was a very professional entertainment agent. He walked to the door of Studio No. 1, pushed open the door of the studio with Yang Hao, and then walked in first.

"Yang Hao, were the last few scenes of "Unfortunate Journey" filmed here?"

"yes!"

"Approximately when will the filming be completed?"

"Before or after the Gregorian calendar!"

Yang Hao, who boarded the train carriage, did not dare to say anything, because Wang Baoqiang seemed to have received a new script. If the filming of his crew, which had little money, did not go smoothly, they would have to wait for his time.

"Then when do you plan to release "The Man on the Road"?"

"New Year's Day!"

"When did you say it would be released?"

Chang Jihong, who accompanied Yang Hao into the train carriage, had a look of shock on his face!

"February 14, 2010, the first day of the Lunar New Year, and also Valentine's Day in the West. What's wrong, Mr. Chang? Do you have any questions?"

Yang Hao, who was standing in the aisle and checking the facilities in the train carriage, asked without looking back.

"hehe…"

At this time, Chang Jihong smiled, took out a piece of paper from the bag he carried with him, and read loudly:

"On February 1, 2010, "Happy Events 2010" starring Louis Koo will be released; on February 4, "The Guard" starring Zhao Yanzi and Zhen Zizi will be released; on February 5, "The Future" starring Andy Lau will be released "Police" will be released; on February 9, "Su Qier" starring Jay Chou and Zhou Xun will be released; on February 10, "Love in the City" starring Ting Feng, Jacky You and Yan Zu will be released; on February 11 , "72 Tenants" starring Chi Wai, Jacky Yau and Anita Yung will be released soon;

On February 14, which is the first day of the Lunar New Year, "The God of Wealth" starring Principal Tan and "Little Soldier" starring Yan Long will be released simultaneously.

Yang Hao, newspapers are now saying that the 2010 Spring Festival will be the most brutal Spring Festival in the history of Chinese films. Within a month, 15 movies will join the fray.

Under such circumstances, are you sure you still want "Journey on the Road" to be released in major theaters across the country? "

"Yeah."

After listening to Chang Jihong's introduction, Yang Hao touched his chin with his hand.

“Next year’s Spring Festival will indeed be tragic!

How about... Mr. Chang, let's change the release date of "A Man on the Road" to February 13th, New Year's Eve? "

puff…

After listening to Yang Hao's words, Chang Jihong almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yang Hao, Dog Day, tell me, what’s the difference between New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day? What is the difference between February 13th and February 14th?

Angry, he wanted to walk away, but when he thought of the 150,000 yuan note and the 90,000 yuan rental contract in his drawer, Chang Jihong endured it and explained his intention to Yang Hao.

"Yang Hao, you asked me to help you contact film distribution companies, and I helped you contact them. One is Star America and the other is Bona. These two distribution companies have their own theater chains.

And the reason why I came to see you today is to confirm the release date of this movie with you. However, Yang Hao, I didn’t expect you to be so unreliable and insist on setting the release date of "A Man on the Road" During the Spring Festival? "

"Mr. Chang, the story "People on the Road" reflects the Spring Festival travel season. If it is not broadcast during the Spring Festival, how can it be broadcast on May Day?" Yang Hao asked with a smile.

“What’s wrong with May Day?

On May Day, we might even be able to get a high box office. By then, domestic movie theaters will basically have no films competing with "The Lost Way"..."

However, before Chang Jihong finished speaking, he heard Yang Hao, who was busy in the carriage, saying:

"Mr. Chang, although there are no big-name stars in the movie "Unfortunately", the publicity and distribution expenses have not been collected yet...

But it doesn’t matter, as long as I’m here, this movie can fight its way out of the fierce and cruel Spring Festival stalls. "
