116. Promotional Video Shooting and Celebration Banquet
Three days later, the movie was released as scheduled, and the final box office was fixed at 978 million.
All parties were very satisfied with the result. Gu Yun was even thinking about when to hold a celebration banquet with Guan Miao to thank all the crew members for their efforts.
Guan Miao, who was putting on makeup, raised her head slightly and said with some difficulty, "As long as the location is in City C, I can come anytime."
"Okay, then I'll have Gu Yun arrange it first. It just so happens that you still have some money left from your previous investment, so hosting a banquet shouldn't be difficult."
As he was talking, a boy knocked on the door of the lounge, "Teacher Guan Miao, Sister Deng, I brought you the clothes for today's photo shoot."
"It's Director Chen, come in and have some tea," Deng Ling immediately went forward to invite the director in to sit down, "How can I not be embarrassed to trouble Director Chen to help us get our clothes?"
Director Chen looked kind, but at the moment his chubby face was a little reserved. He kept rubbing his hands, opening and closing his mouth, but he didn't utter a word.
Seeing this, Deng Ling asked directly, "Director Chen, are you here today? Are there any details you want to discuss, or is there something wrong with the script?"
"Sister Deng, there's no problem with the script," he said, his eyes dodging a few times before speaking directly, "It's just that this is my first time working with Teacher Guan Miao, and I don't know if Teacher Guan has any requirements for the filming."
Ever since he received this task, he has been repeatedly reminded by several superiors to put Guan Miao first in everything, let her do whatever she wants, and never make her unhappy.
Otherwise, you will suffer a salary cut at best and job loss at worst.
After hearing this, Director Chen was so worried that he could only eat two bowls of rice at a time. Finally, he was afraid that something big would happen on the set later, so he had to ask Teacher Guan Miao for his advice.
God bless, I hope this Guan Miao is a normal person.
Just as Director Chen was praying silently, Guan Miao and Deng Ling were a little surprised after hearing his words. Guan Miao waved his hand to signal them to stop first, then turned his chair to face Director Chen.
"Director Chen, I don't have any requirements, as long as you are satisfied."
"Really?" Director Chen was still a little skeptical. "You don't have any requirements for the shooting angle?"
He had previously received a top star, and the requirements his team brought filled up several A4 papers, even including requirements for the shooting angle, and they even said that he looked best in the photos taken at this angle.
What a big guy! Is he the director or am I the director? How could I not know which angle he looks best from?
Can these artists understand that the perspective of selfies and the perspective of others are two completely different things? !
The most annoying thing is that for the sake of his own performance, he still has to smile and say that others are really amazing.
Awesome! !
Thinking of this, he looked up at Guan Miao and Deng Ling seriously, "Really, you don't have any other requests?"
Guan Miao seemed to understand why Director Chen was so uneasy, so he said directly: "Of course, you are the director and have absolute say over everyone in the crew, and I am no exception."
"real?"
"Of course, so Director Chen, do you want to go to the front and check the props team's preparations?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed that he was about to kick them out. Director Chen was very tactful and didn't say much. He hurriedly said goodbye to them and left.
After the room quieted down again, Deng Ling smiled and said, "It seems that Xiangpengqian is putting a lot of pressure on him."
Shuangshuang also started putting on makeup again and said with a smile: "If this gets out, people who don't know will think Sister Miaomiao is some ferocious beast."
Guan Miao smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it has become a ferocious beast."
"But this is good," Deng Ling disagreed with them, "At least if we tell others, no one will dare to bully us."
Hearing this, his hands hesitated and he said uncertainly, "If that's the case, it doesn't seem like bad news."
It took three days to shoot the fragrant promotional videos and posters. When she left on the last day, Director Chen's attitude towards her had softened a lot.
"Teacher Guan Miao, the finished film will be sent to Sister Deng's email in about four days. Please remember to take a look and feel free to share any thoughts you have.
We finally decided to make the official announcement on January 31st, the day the group was founded.”
Guan Miao was a little surprised. Generally, the day a group is founded is of great significance. They were willing to tie her to such an important day. It seemed that Xianghenhen really put a lot of thought into pleasing the people above.
"I understand. If there's anything, I'll contact you as soon as possible. I won't delay the normal promotion."
With her words, Director Chen felt relieved. "That's good."
Back home, Guan Miao looked at the calendar, took out a pen and crossed out another one. "Great, now all that's left is the celebration banquet and skit rehearsal."
She didn't have to worry about the celebration banquet, she just had to eat and drink there. I heard that Gu Yun had invited several chefs this time, and they were all guaranteed to be the flavors Guan Miao liked.
As long as there are no blind people who insist on getting close to her, two hours will pass by in a flash.
As for the skit rehearsal, the director said that the cast will be finalized by Wednesday at the latest, so she will meet her new friends by Thursday at the latest.
I hope they are all normal people.
Thinking about this, she circled Thursday twice on the calendar, "Hopefully I'll have a good new year."
Just as Guan Miao had thought before, everyone saw that although she was excited at the celebration party, she also maintained her composure and did not say anything she shouldn't have.
Several leading actors gathered at a table and talked mostly about the changes in themselves during this period and their future plans.
Guan Miao was concentrating on eating, and would only say a few words when someone mentioned her.
"Miaomiao," Gu Yun said, sitting down beside her with a glass of wine in his hand. "The selection period for major film awards will begin soon. I've watched the films of the past two years, and if we apply, the chances of winning are slim. Should we still submit the application?"
Upon hearing the serious business, Guan Miao immediately put down his fork, wiped his mouth and switched to work mode, "Then I must try it. Whether I can be shortlisted depends on the choice of the judges.
But if we send it in, there is a 50% chance that it will be reviewed. If we don’t even send it in for review, we won’t have any chance at all.
Even if a nomination for a prestigious award is considered a real achievement within the industry, Director Gu, you must understand this, so what are you still hesitating about?
Seeing Guan Miao express her plan so bluntly, Gu Yun did not feel too much fluctuation in her heart. She just pulled her to a more remote corner. An Jing also followed them silently, keeping watch for them.
"Miaomiao, I know you've got connections with the higher-ups now, but getting the award isn't going to be easy."
"Um?"
Hearing her words, Guan Miao was stunned at first, and reacted after a few seconds. He said with a bit of a smile: "Director Gu, don't worry, whether it wins an award or not depends on the overall strength of the film. How can a small actor like me possibly influence the result?
Besides, I'm not as powerful as you think. What level above that? Is that something I can reach right now?"
An Jing, who was blocking the way in front, widened her eyes when she heard this. How could she say this without blushing or getting nervous?
But Guan Miao didn't care about this and just focused on comforting Gu Yun.
Gu Yun also felt that her words made some sense. "Indeed, I was overthinking it. I will go back and discuss the awards with everyone."
