Chapter 1098 Congratulations to Sister Man for finishing her first movie!
This movie is almost entirely made up of special effects shots, and there are all kinds of large scenes and environments, all of which require post-production special effects. After making the entire movie, there is not much difference from making an animated movie directly.
Similarly, the investment in this film is also the highest in the history of Earthling Studios. Yang Hongxia even suspects that Lin Fan may not have a work with a higher investment than this film in the future.
Because it's really expensive! This movie cost more money to make than the other three movies!
Of course, this also means that after the movie is released, it will be able to sweep the entire movie market and reap unexpected box office results.
Therefore, after Yang Hongxia invested in four films, she thought of this movie first and placed all her hopes of recovering the funds on it.
But the post-production progress of this movie is really too slow! According to the original plan, the film was supposed to be completed next year before it could be considered for release, which means it may not be released next year.
How can this be possible! Yang Hongxia directly issued an ultimatum: "By the beginning of next year at the latest, all post-production work must be completed, and this movie will be released during the summer of next year. Don't tell me that you can't keep up with the progress. How long have you been doing post-production for this movie? Put other work aside for the time being, and get this movie out first! It's okay for you to work overtime or add more people! This is my only request, it must be released during the summer of next year!"
The colleagues in the animation studio wanted to protest, but Yang Hongxia directly threw the company's financial statements in front of the head of the animation studio.
Under such tremendous financial pressure, the guys in the animation studio had to shut up and go back to work overtime.
Xiao Ye is responsible for following up the specific progress of this film: "At present, the progress is much faster than before. However, the fastest estimated completion time is still April next year.
However, the animation studio has already arranged an overtime schedule, and it seems that they plan to monitor the progress of this movie 24 hours a day."
"April is still too slow. Let's push it a little bit and try to improve efficiency. We want to finish it before February next year. Otherwise, we won't have enough time for publicity."
This movie is also a movie that will be released simultaneously across the entire Blue Star, so the promotion period will be longer than that of a movie that is only released in China.
Especially overseas promotion is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than promotion in China. If it can only be completed in April and then released in the summer, the promotion time in between is indeed not enough.
"Let them directly report overtime pay, meal allowance, transportation expenses, etc. In short, we need to ensure that they can concentrate on their work and not be disturbed by these trivial matters."
As long as the movie can be released during the summer, the other expenses will be small money compared to the final box office.
Xiao Ye nodded: "Understood!"
…
"Okay, Ka!"
After Liang Wen shouted "Cut", a staff member immediately pushed a small cake cart, and someone held a large bouquet of flowers in his arms and walked towards Riemann, who had just finished shooting the last shot.
Zhou Xiang even opened her arms and gave Li Man a big hug: "Congratulations, Sister Man, you have finished shooting your first movie!"
Liang Wen also walked out from behind the surveillance screen, took the flowers from the staff, and handed them to Li Man: "Congratulations, you've finished shooting!"
The staff members nearby even started to cheer: "Congratulations to Sister Man for finishing the filming!"
Li Man was stunned for a full second by this surprise, and then he hugged Zhou Xiang back vigorously and took the flowers handed over by Liang Wen: "Thank you! Thank you Xiangxiang, thank you Director Liang, thank you everyone! How can this be done, it's really..."
Li Man's voice was a little choked up. She really didn't expect that the crew had secretly prepared such a big surprise for her! Really!
Although Riemann is already a first-line female artist, she has never starred in any movie, which is actually quite rare in this circle.
Although the movie she took on this time has two female protagonists, and Zhou Xiang’s role is more important than Riemann’s, she is still a true movie heroine, and the first movie heroine in Riemann’s life.
Even Riemann himself didn't believe that he had no special feelings for this character.
But the embarrassing thing is that Riemann is neither the first female lead nor a newcomer, and this drama is the work of the Earthling Studio itself. From any angle, it is not worth it for the crew to celebrate Riemann in such a grand manner.
Moreover, if you meet someone who is more thoughtful, you may also have to consider whether such a celebration will be a kind of ridicule in Liman's eyes. After all, Liman has only gotten the role of the heroine in a movie until now. It is indeed easy to cause misunderstanding if she rashly celebrates the completion of her first movie.
But the crew did not think too much about it and just prepared flowers and a celebratory cake for Riemann. Not everyone in the crew, but at least all the members of the Earthling Studio, celebrated for Riemann sincerely.
How could Riemann not be surprised and moved by this?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!
Liang Wen saw that Li Man was choking up, so he naturally took over the conversation: "There will be a wrap-up party tonight, you must come to participate!"
Li Man nodded repeatedly: "Director Liang, rest assured, I will definitely be there for the wrap party!"
Although this wrap-up party was for the entire crew, it was also of great significance to Riemann. In addition, during the entire filming process, the crew members, as well as Zhou Xiang and Liang Wen, all took good care of him. It was only right and proper for him to attend.
Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Sister Man, come and cut the cake, okay? Oh, the filming of this movie is finally finished. I have been dieting for several months for this role. Now I can finally treat myself! I must eat the biggest piece of cake. Sister Man, give me the piece with strawberries!"
Li Man couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, okay, it's all yours!"
Riemann took the cake knife and cut a few pieces from the cake, giving them to Zhou Xiang, Liang Wen, an assistant director, and other important members of the crew. The rest was taken by the staff and divided among other people.
However, after getting his share of cake, Zhou Xiang gave Li Man a look, and Li Man nodded in understanding. Then, he sandwiched Liang Wen in the middle, one on the left and one on the right. Then, two lumps of white cream were smeared on Liang Wen's face: "Hahaha, Director Liang is eating cake!"
Liang Wen made a mistake and got cream all over his face: "Ouch!"
More importantly, the photographer took the opportunity to press the shutter button, and this moment will be forever captured in the photo! (End of this chapter)
