Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Tuesday, morning.

Pei Qian was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the phone.

Opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the caller ID, it was Huang Sibo who called.

Pei Qian answered the phone: "Hello?"

Huang Sibo’s slightly excited voice came over the phone: “President Pei, I’m going to report a good news to you! The "Mission and Choice" movie has been finished, and the last shot has just been taken this morning!"

Pei Qian hasn't woken up yet, his mind is still a little confused: "Oh?"

But in the next second, he immediately reacted.

The movie is over!

Although very reluctant, this day still came.

After the joint project of "Mission and Choice", which is a game + film, Pei Qian didn't pay much attention to it.

The reason is complicated. On the one hand, Pei Qian is afraid of having an observer effect because of his own attention, or a subconscious suggestion of his own has somehow played the finishing touch, but it is self-defeating; on the other hand, it is because this project is Crossing two settlement cycles, Pei Qian has more important items to deal with.

Of course, there is also one reason for that, Pei Qian felt that he had done enough preparations before setting up the project. "Mission and Choice" almost condensed all the failure factors, even He An felt that it would inevitably fail, so Pei Qian Qian is full of confidence in this project.

Until some time ago, he happened to meet He An, and Pei Qian thought of going to Tenda Games to see the development of the "Mission and Choice" game.

As for movies, Pei Qian has never been to a studio once, and he doesn't even know the outline of the movie.

The only thing he knew was that the story background of "Mission and Choice" was decided by himself, and it should be about the war between humans and Zerg.

Because the original "Mission and Choice" that was called "the shame of national travel" was used in this background more than ten years ago, Pei Qian asked Director Zhu Xiaoce to use it, and Director Zhu Xiaoce must have done it.

I just don't know what will happen after this movie is shot.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian sat up from the bed.

"It's a good thing to be finished, you must celebrate!"

"In this way, I will have dinner at Mr. Li's Mingfu family banquet at noon today, and I will treat you! Everyone in the crew will go!"

"Then you organize everyone to spend a few days in Jingzhou. Next Monday will happen to be on the 20th. Let's have another meal at an anonymous restaurant!"

The same treatment and specifications were used when "Better Tomorrow" was completed before: two high-standard dinners + a week of local sightseeing in Jingzhou.For Pei Qian, the benefits of spending money can only be increased but not decreased, and the money spent cannot be less.

Huang Sibo was very happy: "Good President Pei!"

...

At noon, Mingfu Family Banquet.

Today is Tuesday, and there were fewer customers. Pei Qian called and booked the show early, so the entire restaurant was full of crew members.

In addition to the on-site staff such as Huang Sibo, Zhu Xiaoce, Lu Zhiyao, and photography, editors and post-production crews also came and gathered together.

It stands to reason that editing and post-production should be the busiest now, but "Mission and Choice" is filmed section by section. After each section is filmed, you can rough cut and do post-production, so the pressure of editing and post-production is not particularly high.

Moreover, even if he is busy at work, Mr. Pei still must come to eat!

Everyone knows that President Pei does not have so many rules to entertain guests, so they all sit down at will, waiting for President Pei's arrival.

Huang Sibo, Zhu Xiaoce, Lu Zhiyao and others were sitting at the same table, waiting eagerly for Mr. Pei's arrival.

"I'm coming!"

"President Pei, here!"

Huang Sibo stood up and waved at Pei Qian.

Pei Qian immediately said to the waiter: "What are you waiting for? Good wine and good food are all served? Just press the most expensive one, hurry up."

Then, he sat down at Zhu Xiaoce's table.

Until now, Pei Qian was able to meet these people from the crew.

After looking around, his eyes stayed on Lu Zhiyao.

Well, sure enough, there is another way to know the distance.

Pei Qian has been mentally prepared for this. After all, Lu Zhiyao has a close relationship with Feihuang Studio, and everyone cooperated very happily, and it was logical to cooperate again.

When talking about actors before, Pei Qian's request was to hire only one lead actor, and the others can only be a dragon suit, and the lead character can ask anyone. The big name does not matter, but there should be no expressions.

Although Lu Zhiyao's acting skills are good, but there is no expression, how can he use his acting skills?

Therefore, Pei Qian was not very angry, but accepted it calmly.

It's best when the movie dies violently and loses money, and Lu Zhiyao returns to the "box office poison", cutting the possibility of everyone's future cooperation and letting each other go!

After a few greetings, the waiter began to serve dishes one after another.

Pei Qian looked around again and suddenly realized a problem.

Not quite right, why is Lu Zhiyao alone?What about the other actors?

The previous requirement that Pei Qian made to Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce was that there can only be one leading actor, and the others can only be dragons.

Where's the dragon?

Isn’t it because they’re a heroine, so they don’t even care about food?

That's too shameful!It's not in line with the spirit of Tenda!

Pei Qian's expression became serious, and he looked at Huang Sibo: "Why didn't the other cast members come? Since it's a celebration banquet, there must be none of them!"

Huang Sibo was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly explained: "Oh, President Pei, everyone in the crew is here, including the errands."

"There are no actor actors because we didn't hire actor actors. The only actor is Lu Zhiyao."

Pei Qian: "?"

This Huang Sibo unexpectedly exceeded the task?

Pei Qian's request for them is that there can only be one leading actor, and the others are all tricks.

As a result, Huang Sibo even saved the game!

Co-authoring this movie from beginning to end, is Lu Zhiyao a one-man show alone?

It is very unreliable at the first hearing, and it is very likely to die at the box office!

Pei Qian couldn't help but thumbs up: "Very good! Nice job!"

Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce smiled at each other, and both saw a kind of pride in each other's eyes.

President Pei really deserves to be President Pei. He guessed the wonderfulness of our "one-actor drama book" in an instant, so he praised us so much.

What a soulmate!

Pei Qian looked at Lu Zhiyao: "How did you feel during the performance?"

Lu Zhiyao smiled with some guilty conscience: "President Pei, to be honest, it doesn't feel particularly good."

"The whole process is a one-man show, it's too difficult for me to act!"

"Furthermore, Director Zhu also asked not to have too many expressions, and that the facial muscle changes must be small enough. I feel choked up enough, almost crazy..."

Pei Qian couldn't help but be pleased.

Yes, Not Bad!

A one-man show, and the starring performance has not been fully utilized, it is definitely a bad film reservation, no runaway!

Pei Qian originally wanted to ask Zhu Xiaoce to read the script, but then he thought about it, what's so good about the script of a bad movie?

Besides, the filming of the movie has been finished, and the raw rice has been cooked. Even if you see the script now, it is impossible to remake it, otherwise the settlement will be affected if the movie is not released in time.

So Pei Qian didn’t find it for himself anymore. He held up a drink, “Everyone has worked hard for the past few months! Eat and drink today, have fun in Jingzhou for a few days, and wait for the 20th to invite everyone to the nameless. Eat in the restaurant!"

Everyone cheered immediately.

Meals in anonymous restaurants are generally not available. Everyone is waiting for this meal after a few months of work. Can you not be excited?

It was officially finished, and everyone relaxed, enjoying the food while chatting and laughing. The scene was harmonious.

...

After Pei Qian had eaten enough, he first left under the pretext of being busy with work, and the crew was obviously not happy yet, some of them even drank and chatted.

Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo continue to discuss the later events of "Mission and Choice".

The crew of the filming and filming staff can take a break, unless there are individual shots that need to be filmed.But there are still many problems in the fine-cutting and later stages, and Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo can't just relax.

While discussing, Huang Sibo's phone rang.

Huang Sibo saw that Rui Yuchen was calling.

"Ok?"

Huang Sibo was a little surprised, because his usual work has nothing to do with Rui Yuchen.

Rui Yuchen is in charge of catching fish and taking out food. Why do you call yourself?Could it be that Rui Yuchen wanted to advertise Moyu takeaway in the movie?

That wouldn't work. "Mission and Choice" is a sci-fi theme. Is it plausible that there is an advertisement for fishing for takeout?

With some doubts, Huang Sibo answered the phone.

After a few words of greeting, Rui Yuchen explained his intention: "Brother Huang, this is the case. Do you know Mr. Pei bought a company called Lengmian Girl? I chatted with the person in charge here a few days ago and learned that they wanted I want to make a documentary about local food stalls."

"I heard that you have filmed documentaries before, so I want to help you. It is not impossible to find someone else to shoot. The key is not to know the level of the people outside, and I am afraid that it will be unsatisfactory."

"The only problem is that you were shooting e-sports documentaries before. I wonder if you can control the gourmet documentaries?"

Huang Sibo said: "Wait a moment, I will ask Director Zhu."

He simply repeated Rui Yuchen's words, and then got a positive answer from Zhu Xiaoce.

Huang Sibo said: "Yes, Director Zhu said, movies can be made, and food documentaries are of course no problem!"

"It's just that in order to achieve the best picture effect, you may need to prepare some additional special photographic equipment. But this is all to say. Our studio would have to use these things, so just buy it."

"You're pretty good at picking the time. As soon as we finished shooting this movie, you came to your door!"

Rui Yuchen was very happy: "Really? That's a coincidence."

"Okay, then it's settled! I'll give you contact information later. You and the person in charge over there will briefly check how to shoot and how much budget is needed."

Huang Sibo: "Easy to say, easy to say."

If you are cooperating with an external company, you may still have a lot of concerns.

For example, what about bargaining?What should I do if the other party is not satisfied with the photo?What should I do if there are some cost wrangling during the shooting?

This can be very disturbing.

But if Tenda's internal departments, there are not so many concerns.Everyone takes money from Mr. Pei. Whoever acts as Party A and who acts as Party B. This money is nothing more than a left-handed over a right-handed thing, and there is absolutely no fear of such a wrangling situation.

It just so happened that when the filming was over, many people in the crew were free and there was nothing to do.Take this opportunity to shoot a promotional video for the food show. Anyway, it is to shoot a street food stall. This work is not exhausting, so I should just adjust my mood.

So Huang Sibo readily agreed.
