[unexpected signs Chapter 19]
After Pei Shaoze left, the staff had enough to eat and drink, and continued to shoot in the afternoon.
Director Zhang is very demanding. Cheng Xia didn't have a rest all afternoon. Fortunately, he learned a lot from the shooting process, especially what director Zhang said about the "sense of lens". He didn't know how to grasp it. After director Zhang demonstrated it several times, Cheng Xia gradually found the feeling. While he was shooting, he was studying. Although he was tired all day, his heart was very full.
After returning to the apartment, Cheng Xia took a bath in the bathroom, leaned on the bed and began to read the original novel folding paper.
Just looking at it, a message suddenly popped up on wechat, which was from Pei Shaoze: "No. d-102, Longhu villa, Binjiang District, Rongcheng City. Pei Shaoze received it. He called 1897463xxxx and sent it directly to this address."
Cheng Xia set up a note in her mobile phone, specially saving Pei Shaoze's address and phone number, followed by typing reply: "Mr. Pei, down jacket is at my home, can I send it to you after I go back?"
Pei Shaoze: "no hurry. I don't usually use that dress. Give it to me when you have time. "
Cheng Xia replies, "OK." he puts down his mobile phone and goes to the window. He finds that the light in the office on the 33rd floor of Tianxuan group is still on. That's Mr. Pei's office. Today, Mr. Pei is working overtime again. Is he busy with campus drama?
Mr. Pei values the play so much. Cheng Xia thinks that he is a little transparent. He can't even compare with his boss in terms of professional dedication, can he? So he took a pen and sat at his desk. While reading the original novel, he marked down the key parts and deliberated over and over again, just like taking notes in middle school.
One of them is working in the office, the other is reading in the artist's apartment.
As time went by, two rooms across the street were always lit with warm lights.
They don't disturb each other, but they are working for the same goal.
***
Pei Shaoze worked overtime tonight to check all the information related to filing and auditing.
The film submission system of ABO world is different from that of his world. Today, he finally got a clear idea of the process.
Rongcheng is the second largest city in the country, with prosperous economy. However, the administrative center of the whole country is in Xingcheng, and the organization managing all TV dramas and films is also in Xingcheng, called the General Administration of radio, film and television.
Every play should be put on record in the general administration before it is set up for shooting. There are a lot of materials needed for filing, such as plot outline, diversity outline, character biography, script idea, film and television adaptation power of attorney, list of main creators of the crew, company business license, shooting license, filing registration form, etc. Pei Shaoze prepared the materials one by one according to the provisions of the general administration.
The play he picked is a very clear water campus play, suitable for all ages, with a positive theme. It not only tells the warm feelings of the two protagonists accompanying each other, but also describes a lot of traditional origami culture, which should not be stuck.
But to be on the safe side, Pei Shaoze decided to go to Xingcheng in a few days and hand over the information to the General Administration in person. On the one hand, it can promote the efficiency of the Department, on the other hand, it can also find out the way.
Although the ABO world is different from reality, the process of film and television drama review and scheduling is almost the same. If we do not have a good relationship with the General Administration, the release date of this drama will be blocked by the General Administration after shooting, and Pei Shaoze will not be able to implement the goal of "using the word-of-mouth fermentation of students to promote" in summer vacation.
Pei Shaoze quickly knocked on the keyboard and quickly wrote a complete project plan.
Zhang Fan has been working overtime with him recently. Pei Shaoze knew that it would be very tiring to be an assistant for him, so he said, "Xiao Zhang, I've worked hard for you recently. I'll ask the financial department to increase your salary next month, and you'll have to accompany me on a business trip these days."
Hearing that Zhang Fan's eyes brightened, he immediately poured a cup of coffee for Mr. Pei: "it's not hard! Mr. Pei, where are you going on business? I'll book your ticket in advance. "
Pei Shaoze looked at the plan, estimated the time and said, "go to Xingcheng on the 26th and stay for three days; Feiya'an on the 29th, stay for two days, and come back on the 31st. You can book the air tickets and hotels. "
Zhang Fan wrote down the time in a hurry and went online to book tickets. He can probably guess what Mr. Pei is doing in these two places - the General Administration of radio, film and television is in Xingcheng, and Mr. Pei obviously wants to go to these two places in person for examination; Ya'an City, as he mentioned today, can be used as a shooting site for part of the plot of campus drama in summer. Obviously, his visit is also an advance inspection.
With such a responsible producer, the whole crew is much less worried!
Zhang Fan also feels relieved to help such a boss. Pei always makes clear what the assistant needs to do one by one. Zhang Fan doesn't have to guess the boss's mind. He does what the boss asks him to do. He works efficiently.
Pei Shaoze worked overtime to 10 o'clock again today.
However, as soon as the project plan is completed, the following work only needs to be carried out according to the plan, and there is no need to stay up late and work overtime in the future.
Pei Shaoze, who finished the plan, went to the window, rubbed his sore temple and opened the window to breathe.
At this time, he found across the Street apartment, a window also suddenly pushed from the inside. Pei Shaoze has good eyesight, and immediately recognizes that the man who comes to the window is Cheng Xia.
Wearing orange pajamas, the teenager is standing at the window stretching. It seems that he has found Pei Shaoze. He stretches slightly, then puts down his arm and gives Pei Shaoze a shy smile.
Pei Shaoze picked up his mobile phone and sent him a message: "Cheng Xia? Your apartment is on the 33rd floor? "
Cheng Xia replied: "yes, it's a coincidence. I live across from Mr. Pei's office. I see you by the window[ Smiling face] "
Pei Shaoze said: "the heating is too hot. I'll get some air by the window."
Cheng Xia said: "the heating in the apartment is also very hot. I've been sitting for a long time. I'll come to the window to exercise my muscles."
Two people: "the..."
So, the moment he opened the window, he saw Cheng Xia.
Such a coincidence, let Pei Shaoze's mood is very happy, even a few hours of overtime fatigue also swept away.
The man bent his lips slightly and sent a voice. He patiently told him, "I'm going to go on a business trip these days. You'd better take a video with Chen Yijun and learn how to face the camera with Zhang. You're a new person. If you respect the people around you, they won't be too hard on you, you know? "
When Cheng Xia presses the play button, the sound in his ear is unique to adult alpha, which is deep and sexy. It's especially pleasant in a quiet night. It's a light statement, but Cheng Xia's heart beats. He somehow hears some concern from Mr. Pei's words. Does he think too much?
Cheng Xia got rid of his wishful thinking and quickly typed back: "I know, I will cooperate with director Zhang to shoot. Mr. Pei can rest assured that the business trip is smooth!"
"Well, I'm off work. Good night."
"Good night, Mr. Pei!"
At the end of the dialogue, Pei Shaoze turned off the light and went downstairs.
Cheng Xia also closed the window, rubbed his sore neck and went back to the desk to read.

The next day was the weekend and it was sunny.
Cheng Xia gets up early in the morning and follows Chen Yijun's nanny car to shoot MV.
Yesterday, I shot two interior scenes. Today's content is all exterior scenes, such as running in the playground and playing on the court. Although the weather is fine, it's winter after all. Cheng Xia's hands and feet are numb with cold.
Assistant Rong sister quickly will bring down jacket wrapped in him, but also intimate to prepare a warm hand treasure for him. Zhou Yan looked at Cheng Xia's cold red hands: "if it's too cold, I'll tell director Zhang, let you wear a sweater inside."
Cheng Xia smiles and shakes his head: "it's OK, this school uniform just fits. If you wear one more, it will be very bulky."
As an actor, it's very common to wear short sleeves in winter and wrap cotton padded clothes in summer. If you can't stand the pain, you might as well give it up as soon as possible. The whole crew is waiting for him. What's the right of him as a rookie to delay the progress?
Cheng Xia rubbed his hands and ran to the set.
Director Zhang is very strict. It took five times to shoot the game. Chen Yijun couldn't see it any more. He couldn't help saying, "director Zhang, it's almost OK. Don't freeze our Cheng Xia!"
Director Zhang waved to Cheng Xia: "cold? Come and have a cup of hot water. "
Cheng Xia's cheek was red with cold, but when she took the thermos cup, her smile was very bright: "director Zhang, I'm sorry, I didn't perform well enough just now, I delayed you all." Looking at the boy's smile, the staff felt that the new man was too sensible, and his attitude towards Cheng Xia was naturally much more gentle.
In the next few days, Cheng Xia has been shooting MV with the crew.
Pei Shaoze took Zhang Fan on a business trip.
After they arrived at Xingcheng, they went to the hotel for a night's rest. The next morning, Pei Shaoze went to the General Administration of radio, film and television in person with the materials prepared by director Liu and screenwriter Xu. The people in the General Administration probably didn't expect that Tianxuan's boss would come here in person? As one of the best companies in the entertainment industry, Tianxuan sends a lot of films for review every year, but it's the first time we've met this new boss.
Pei Shaoze was very polite and took the initiative to invite people from the general administration to have a meal.
He was very familiar with interpersonal communication. In the real world, many things were not easy to say, but also talked about at dinner. In addition to the filing of new dramas, he also explored the tone of high-level officials, such as which themes are strictly controlled and which themes are more lenient in auditing, so as to prepare for future dramas.
He also paid a personal visit to a senior executive of the General Administration of the people's Republic of China. This senior executive, Qin, is his father's classmate. Although Pei Shaoze met each other for the first time, uncle Qin also took great care of Pei Shaoze, who visited in person. He promised to let him know in advance what happened in the future, so that he would not be stuck in a certain subject and could not broadcast it.
After the work of Star City, they flew to Ya'an City.
There are two purposes to go to Ya'an City. One is the "Mingde private middle school" located in the suburbs. Pei Shaoze has checked on the Internet that this school has a good environment and is the best choice for shooting campus drama in summer; Moreover, the "New Asia Film and television city", a well-known film and television base in China, has a large scale and can shoot dramas of ancient costume, police and bandits, war and other themes.
The on-the-spot investigation in the film and television city is also a preparation for the future.
If Cheng Xia wants to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment circle, he has to expand his repertoire in an all-round way. Campus drama is just a test. If the effect is good, Pei Shaoze will let Cheng Xia try different themes, and then he will be able to shoot in the film and television city.
Zhang Fan ran down with Mr. PEI for several days and found that Pei Shaoze was a boss with clear goals and foresight. Most people will only subconsciously solve the current problems and simply do the current things well. But Pei Shaoze often does several things at one time, and even includes the problems that he has not yet met but may appear in the future into his plan.
Just a week's business trip, the harvest is very rich.
Because the original book of "unexpected signs" didn't write about other cities except Rongcheng, Pei Shaoze wanted to have a more comprehensive understanding of the ABO world besides his business trip.
It was the end of January when I returned to Rongcheng.
As soon as he got off the plane, he received three pieces of good news.
One is from Chen Yijun: "Mr. Pei, the MV has been shot, and Cheng Xia's performance is excellent. At present, he is in the late stage. It's no problem to be on the shelf on Valentine's day. I'll give you a report!"
The second one is from director Liu Xueyi: "Mr. Pei, several scripts for audition have been written and sent to your email. How is your progress? When shall we announce the audition time? "
The third one is from Uncle Qin of SARFT: "Shaoze, I've asked people to review the record of your play. It's passed. License 20200106, you can find it on the official website of SARFT."
Pei Shaoze replied: "thank you, uncle Qin."
He opened his cell phone calendar.
This year's Spring Festival is February 10 and Valentine's Day is February 14. There are still 10 days to go before Chinese New Year.
Pei Shaoze opened the dialogue window with Liu Xueyi and said decisively, "tomorrow's meeting, No.2 publicity, No.7 audition."
Liu Xueyi was stunned: "so fast?"
Pei Shaoze leaned back in the back row, looking calm.
Time is a little tight, but he believes that Cheng Xia is ready.
