It was already mid-December when the second heavy snow fell.

In the hotel's conference room, Director Tan looked at the progress of the filming, eager to try but also a little worried. "If the progress is fast, we may be able to finish the filming early and go back home to celebrate the New Year with our families. What do you think about the release date? Tell us about it."

In addition to Director Tan, Su Jing, Qiu Yewan, and several important core members of the crew were in the conference room.

Su Jingqiu was the first to speak. "Let's be safe and assume that the filming will be finished in early January. With post-production, publicity and promotion, a conservative estimate is that it will be in April. Otherwise, how about we release it on May Day? After all, it's a short holiday, so the theaters should have a small peak in sales."

"It's almost that time."

"I think so."

Director Tan looked at Ye Wan, who had remained silent, and said, "Xiao Ye, what do you say?"

"I have a bold idea."

As soon as Ye Wan opened his mouth, Director Tan sat up straight.

He stopped drinking the water and threw away the lighter.

He looked at Ye Wan with burning eyes, "Tell me, tell me quickly."

Ye Wan looked around and said with a smile: "How about we work overtime and make a push for the Spring Festival?"

???

!!!

Su Jingqiu was stunned.

Several key personnel were down.

Only Director Tan rubbed his hands excitedly, "Tell me more about it, and we'll plan it out and see if it's feasible."

"Director Tan, please calm down..."

Su Jingqiu laughed, "Do you know how many days are left until the Spring Festival? We have to do post-production, submit for review and get the Dragon Mark, and then we have to do publicity and negotiation with theaters. There are so many things to do in more than a month, even if everyone has three heads and six arms, we can't handle it."

"Besides, do you know how fierce the competition is for movies during this year's Spring Festival?"

Someone took over the conversation and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. The movie Blood Bodhi that Ye Wan plays in is directed by Xie Sanqiu. Should we... be more cautious and not be so radical?"

As basins of cold water were poured over him, Director Tan's impulse gradually subsided.

I couldn't help but glance at Ye Wan again and again.

The meaning in his eyes was clear: Do you have any bolder ideas? Just say it!

"I'm young and inexperienced, I just said it casually, and everyone just listened to it casually..."

Ye Wan said: "My definition of our movie is a dark horse."

"Director Tan has been silent for three years. Everyone thought he had bid farewell to the entertainment industry. Unexpectedly, he came out with a new movie. Are you surprised or surprised?"

"It's a small-budget movie, and there's not even an investor. Actor? No! Actress? A newcomer! If you count all the people in the movie, the most famous one is probably Sun Shiman, but she died of coughing up blood before the movie was even halfway through! Isn't that thrilling?"

"The cost is small, but the courage is huge! Not only does he dare to compete with other directors for the Spring Festival slot, he even dares to challenge Director Xie. Isn't this a bit arrogant? Director Tan is not afraid, and he will be wiped out in seconds this time? And the actors in the movie, and all the staff behind the scenes, are all the crew going crazy with such an impulsive thing?"

"What do you think? If our movie comes out like this, it would be considered... a dark horse, right?"

"Count! You must count!"

Someone spoke up passionately.

Every time Ye Wan said something, Director Tan's eyes lit up.

The expressions of the other people all became interesting as Ye Wan asked each question.

Are you surprised?

Unexpected! Is it irritating?

So fucking exciting!

Is the whole crew going crazy together?

You know what, I haven't been this crazy for years! For a moment, I felt like I had just graduated from college and joined the crew of my first play.

Several people said at the same time, "Go! It's just the Spring Festival period, let's go for it!"
