Just after new year's day in 2017, Lu Chen flew back to Xiangjiang.
The late special effects of the ghost of a beautiful woman are being worked overtime. The later stage also involves editing, dubbing and soundtrack. He, the key figure, must not leave for too long, otherwise it will affect the release plan.
So once back to Xiangjiang, Lu Chen didn't rush back to his studio, but went to Xinghui mapping.
In addition to the special effects of the ghost of a beautiful girl, Xinghui mapping was contracted to Xiangjiang. Xinghui mapping is not the largest film and television special effects company in the Xiangjiang industry, but it has good strength and rich experience. It has participated in the special effects of many major domestic dramas and has a good reputation in the circle.
As a fantasy love film born out of strange tales from a lonely studio, the ghost of a beautiful woman does not involve many special effects, but the later special effects are really one price and one goods. Therefore, Lu Chen is not ambiguous in this regard and directly issued a budget of tens of millions.
Many domestic films or TV dramas, including Xiangjiang, are often reluctant to invest in this aspect. On the one hand, they shout to connect with Hollywood, on the other hand, they will make do with fooling the audience. The resulting "Wumao special effect" makes people cry and laugh, and the result is not worth the loss.
Lu Chen will not make such a stupid mistake.
The level of Xinghui mapping is quite good. Lu Chen is also very satisfied with several pieces of pictures made in advance.
"Wan Dao, it's hard for you!"
Since the killing of the ghost of a beautiful woman, the real behind the scenes director Wan Xiaoquan has no time to rest. Even new year's day also resides in Xiangjiang and is specially responsible for supervising the later stage of the film.
Without his hard work and efforts, Lu Chen could not be so relaxed. Whether the ghost of a beautiful woman can be photographed is a problem.
So Lu Chen, who flew back from the capital, was a little embarrassed to see Wan Xiaoquan in the Xinghui picture.
In terms of his wholehearted love for movies, he is not as good as Wan Xiaoquan.
However, after paying so much, Wan Xiaoquan was unable to hang his name in the subtitles of the ghost of a beautiful woman.
But wan Xiaoquan himself enjoyed it. He smiled and said, "it's not hard. This film has great potential. No matter how hard it is, it's worth it, but"
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid he may not be able to catch up with the Spring Festival according to the current progress."
January 27 is new year's Eve. Now it's only a little more than a month until the Lantern Festival. According to Lu Chen's requirements, Xinghui mapping does its best, but it may not be able to meet the requirements for the release of the ghost of a beautiful woman in the Spring Festival.
Because even if the special effects are completed and the dubbing and music editing are completed, the time is too tight.
Unless later requirements are reduced.
"It doesn't matter if you can't catch up with the Spring Festival!"
In this regard, Lu Chen said categorically, "first of all, we should ensure quality. I just want precision."
The domestic film market is hot, among which the Spring Festival is the eruption period of the box office. Originally, Lu Chen planned to touch the light of the Spring Festival through Xiang Xiangjiang's new film support policy.
But he will never lower his quality requirements for the film.
In Lu Chen's dream world, the original ghost of a beautiful woman is undoubtedly a real classic. Now he has brought the film into reality. Only by doing better with his heart will he not spoil the classic.
The front worked so hard, and the back was careless in order to catch the schedule. Lu Chen would not forgive himself.
His attitude made Wan Xiaoquan very happy.
Wan Xiaoquan has been in the circle for so many years and has made a lot of films. He has also met investors and producers eager for quick success and instant benefits, and put forward all kinds of unreasonable requirements in order to get the funds back.
In Wan Xiaoquan's opinion, Chinese films have produced a lot of bad films, and these people need to take great responsibility.
He once worried that Lu Chen was young and energetic, or he was eager to make money and didn't pay attention in the later stage.
Now it seems that Wan Xiaoquan's worry is superfluous.
So his work is valuable!
"That's no problem."
He stayed at Xinghui Yinghua all afternoon and didn't return to the studio until evening.
After the time of getting off work, there was basically no one in the office, but the light in the secretary room was still on. Li Zhen was sitting in front of the computer and was busy. She didn't even notice Lu Chen's appearance.
Seeing such a scene, Lu Chen, who had just come in, couldn't help asking, "Jane, you haven't gone back yet?"
"Ah!"
Li Zhen was startled. She was greatly relieved to see that it was Lu Chen. She quickly got up and said, "Lu Shao, you're back? I'm going to get off work."
She knew that Lu Chen returned to Xiangjiang today and that Lu Chen went to Xinghui mapping supervisor. She didn't expect to come to the studio so late: "what can I do for you? Do you want me to help?"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "no, I'll take something and go. I'll just take you back."
"Thank you, Lu Shao"
Li Zhen hurriedly packed up the pieces scattered on the table, invitations and business cards, and said, "I also have work to report to you."
Lu Chen nodded: "then say it in the car."
Since Honghua was defeated last time, Lu Chen's film and television studio has really become famous in Xiangjiang's circle and is known by more people.
Liu Gangsheng's appreciation of Lu Chen also raised his reputation to a higher level. Later, an endless stream of people came to the studio under various names to seek cooperation, invite Lu Chen to dinner or participate in the program.
After he left Xiangjiang for only a few days, Li Zhen pressed a thick pile of invitation letters.
Sitting in Lu Chen's car, she reported to Lu Chen like a treasure.
"Star Entertainment invites you to their company reception tomorrow night"
"This is the business card of the chairman of Baolu group. He wants to meet you."
"And this one was sent by Miss Shu Jing herself. I hope you can attend the press conference of her new album."
"In addition"
"Wait!"
Lu Chen suddenly interrupted her Eloquence: "what did you say about Miss Shu Jing?"
"Well, yes."
Li Zhen was stunned. She immediately reacted and turned out the invitation letter and handed it to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen took it over and took a closer look. Shu Jing's album launch time is tomorrow night.
Shu Jing was a celebrity in the circle when Lu Chen first came to Xiangjiang. She made her debut very early. After becoming famous, she married a rich family. Later, she divorced her husband and returned to the entertainment circle.
Shu Jing is very keen on charity and has a lot of contacts in the circle. She is friends with Chen Feier.
Although there is this relationship, Lu Chen basically didn't talk to her later because Lu Chen had a coffee alone with her and was photographed by paparazzi, resulting in a small scandal.
But the other party's new album launch really has something to do with him——
I just came back from Hangzhou this afternoon. I'm exhausted and tired. There's only one watch in the evening. Please forgive me. (to be continued)
