Chapter 165 "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" Finished

Some things don't happen just once.

Especially a young man and woman who know the taste of food.

The boring filming life in the countryside also requires joy in hardship.

Sitting on the grass by the river, Cheng Hao was teaching Qi Wei how to weave grass rings.

She deliberately tied a few beautiful flowers on the grass ring. After Qi Wei finished weaving it, she couldn't wait to let Qi Wei put it on her head.

"Am I beautiful?" she asked with a smile as she looked at Qi Wei.

Qi Wei stroked her long hair that hung down like a waterfall like a cat, and smiled and agreed: "Well, very beautiful."

"Thank you." She said, resting her head on Qi Wei's lap and lying in Qi Wei's arms.

Qi Wei looked at her in his arms and said: "I have always felt that your face has a kind of majestic and fashionable beauty. Those bright jewelry may be more suitable for you. I will give you a few pieces later."

A trace of joy flashed on her face, but she emphasized: "I am not with you because of these things."

"There are some things that it is difficult for me to give you now. I can only give you what I can give you. I hope you can understand. This is also my heart. I hope you can accept it."

She understood the meaning of Qi Wei's words very clearly. As a young woman, she actually cared more about feelings, and her face darkened involuntarily.

She tried her best to smile and replied: "I listen to you, Brother Wei."

Qi Wei couldn't help but think of something, and asked: "Is your father always suffering from some physical ailments?"

She nodded and replied: "He has always had some minor health problems, and we are all used to them."

Cheng Hao's father had been suffering from ailments for a long time. When she was born, he suddenly got better. So the overjoyed family naturally regarded her as a new member as a purple star from heaven.

So I specially named her "Cheng Hao", hoping that this auspiciousness could last forever.

"Many minor physical ailments are precursors to serious illnesses. I don't mean to curse your father, but I just want to give you a warning to prevent the slightest. I think that after the filming is finished, you can take your father to the capital for a check-up.

, I will contact the hospital for you, and I will pay for it for you."

"You are not my boyfriend. My father never likes to trouble people, so he definitely doesn't want to." Cheng Hao replied hesitantly.

"Please, if you don't check for any big problems in the future, it will be too late for you to regret it. I am doing this for your own good."

Qi Wei advised again: "I know you are very filial. You also want to be filial to your parents. This is also an opportunity for you to be filial to them. If you show affection and reason, your father will definitely be willing."

She thought about it and felt that what Qi Wei said made sense. She was finally persuaded by Qi Wei. She stretched out her arms around Qi Wei's neck, kissed Qi Wei's cheek and said ambiguously: "Brother Wei, I listen to you.

, you are so kind to me."

"Are you seducing me now?"

"No, I'm just thanking you."

"This all means the same thing. Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to bear it anymore and will execute you on the spot?"

Naturally, she was not afraid. She giggled at Qi Wei and continued to seduce him: "Brother Wei, I have been paying attention to this place for a long time. Very few people come here. I think we can play a game of making heaven and earth a bed."

"Are you inviting me?"

"Uh-huh."

She was impatient because she knew how to eat marrow, and finally took the initiative.

The passion continues.

"That Mountain Man, That Dog" is a movie about a father and his son. The Dong girl played by Cheng Hao is just a person that the father and son met on the postal route.

The entire movie only lasts a few minutes.

No matter how slow the filming process, her scenes can be completed in a few days at most. There is no need to wait until the entire movie is completed like Qi Wei did.

Her scene had already been filmed that night when she suddenly fell ill, and she could leave the set at that time.

But she couldn't let go of the relationship she had just established with Qi Wei, so she stayed on the set for the reason of studying filming.

Indeed, the crew filming is a very training place.

This is a valid reason, and it is indeed difficult to refuse.

In addition, Qi Wei is the investor and producer of this movie, so Qi Wei agreed, and it was logical for her to stay.

From the day they had a super-friendship, Qi Wei and her became more and more intimate and unscrupulous.

It's hard not to see the clues.

Most of the actors are full of emotions, and it's not uncommon for them to act fake and real, both on and off the screen.

Everyone was not surprised at all and thought there was nothing wrong with it.

Only one person was somewhat dissatisfied with Qi Wei.

"Did you forget what you promised me? Don't tell me you didn't do anything to her!" Teacher Teng asked after the filming ended one day in early October and found a chance to be alone with Qi Wei.

"Teacher Teng, I didn't promise you anything. I just said that I wouldn't pursue her that day, but I couldn't help it that she was pursuing me. She took the initiative in the whole thing."

Seeing Qi Wei acting obediently despite getting an advantage, Teacher Teng even laughed a little angrily.

He knew Cheng Hao very well, knew what her temperament was like, and understood why she was like this.

Cheng Hao is the only daughter in the family, but she is not squeamish at all and has been very thoughtful since she was a child.

When she was a child, without the request of her elders, she took the initiative to learn calligraphy, flute, dance, etc., and her artistic talent began to gradually emerge.

When she was in elementary school, she embarked on the road of hosting at a campus event, and gradually she became a famous young host in Qingdao.

She is a typical child from other people's families. She has been outstanding since she was a child and rarely meets peers who are better than her.

So when she met a boy of the same age who was far better than her, she couldn't help but be curious.

And curiosity is often the beginning of downfall.

When Qi Wei doesn't mind her closeness and behaves very patiently and considerately, with more contact, a kind of love will naturally arise.

At an age where she is easily crazy about love, it is easy for her to take the initiative when spending time together.

"I don't care who took the initiative between you, let it be the past as it is. I know you will not give up other women for her. Since you can't give her happiness, I hope that your relationship will end after the filming is finished."

."

"Teacher Teng, you should also know that Cheng Hao is an independent and independent girl. She doesn't like your control. The more you restrict many things, the more she will resist, especially emotional matters.

Besides, what you call happiness is not her happiness. She is already an adult and her life should be her own decision. I only respect her decision."

Teacher Teng wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Qi Wei: "I don't like to be restrained by others. No matter how others treat me, I will return it double. Those who are willing to give to me will definitely gain far more than

In return for her efforts, Cheng Hao and she will receive the same reward.

Thank you very much for your teachings to me these days, I will learn a lot from filming with you."

Qi Wei made a salute towards him and ended the chat.

Qi Wei gave "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" a two-month schedule, but in fact the film could not be filmed for that long.

This is a small-budget literary film, the plot does not have many ups and downs, and there are no big scenes or difficult shots.

From the time Qi Wei left for the crew of "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" on September 1st until the filming of the film was completed in early October, it took less than forty days in total.

On the day when the filming of the movie was completed, the crew found a nearby small restaurant and held a simple closing banquet.

While the wine was in full swing, Qi Wei asked director Huo Jianqi: "Director Huo, how long will it take to make the post-production of this movie? Do you still need more investment from me?"

"The post-production of the movie can definitely be completed within a month. The post-production process only costs tens of thousands of yuan, so there is no need to invest more."

"So I still have more than 300,000 yuan left to invest in this movie."

Domestic filmmakers like Huo Jianqi were actually relatively pure before they were exposed to the philistinism of Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers.

They are all making pure movies.

Making movies is not to make money for yourself, but to fulfill an ideal and complete a work.

Maybe they also cheat investors, but that's because their movies are not popular with the audience and it is difficult to recover the cost.

It's not like some people doing things that harm the public and enrich private interests like a straw hat costing thousands of dollars.

For example, "Red Lover" by a certain Ye Sandai.

The movie was released in July.

When the movie premiered on the 22nd, Qi Wei even took the time to go to the premiere to cheer.

In Qi Wei's opinion, this is a good movie.

But it's not a movie that audiences like.

The movie was released for more than a month and eventually made more than 25 million at the box office.

This box office performance is quite good, and it is among the top three Chinese-language films at the box office this year.

But compared to the cost of over 30 million, it is obviously not enough.

Including publicity and distribution costs, this caused the film's investor, Forbidden City Pictures, to lose more than 20 million.

This made them very dissatisfied with Ye Sandai.

Not only did they find newspapers to question whether Ye Sandai's accounts were unclear, they even almost went to court.

Qi Wei invested 3 million in the movie "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog", but director Huo Jianqi spent less than 2.6 million in total to complete the filming.

So when Qi Wei got the news from the accountant, he was really surprised.

Qi Wei has no intention of taking back the remaining 300,000 yuan.

So Qi Wei asked: "For the remaining 300,000, I want to donate 100,000 to the local government, and the rest will be your bonus. What do you think?"

There are more than 30 crew members working on this film, and each person is only paid a few thousand yuan on average. In order to save costs, the crew members of this film themselves are not paid very high, and it is regarded as a kind of compensation.

"Long live Qi Wei!" Some people in the crew happily cheered for Qi Wei when they heard that they could get more money.

"You are both an investor and a producer, so you can do whatever you want."

Director Huo Jianqi smiled and said that he was also very happy, but that was not the focus of his concern.

He asked: "I can give you the finished film in November. When are you going to release the film?"

As a director, he must care about the movie getting a good box office after it is released, and he is no exception.

"I don't have a plan yet." Qi Wei replied honestly with a smile and a joking tone.

"Didn't you promise that your company would be responsible for the publicity and distribution of this movie? How come there is no plan?"

"I really have no plans to release it in China for the time being. To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about the prospect of this movie being released in China."

"How. How could it be?"

Director Huo Jianqi found it difficult to accept this. As an insider, he actually knew that this movie did not meet the taste of mainland audiences.

But considering that an ordinary movie like "Love in the Internet Age" starring Qi Wei can achieve over 10 million in box office, and Qi Wei also stars in my own movie, maybe a miracle will happen.

But in fact, "Love in the Internet Age" is the first movie that Qi Wei has participated in. Qi Wei wrote three more pop songs for this movie, which are full of gimmicks. Qi Wei's young fans are attracted by this movie.

With a large audience group, and with good publicity, it will be a matter of course to achieve a box office of tens of millions.

But "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is different. This is a literary film that domestic audiences don't like, and the tone of this film is not suitable for Qi Wei's pop music. Qi Wei cannot compose music for this film, so naturally it is very

It’s hard to attract Qi Wei’s fans to watch.

"Director Huo, I have seen the clips you shot for this movie. I like it very much. I believe this will be an excellent movie and one that I like, so I don't want this movie to be ruined. I

We are also trying to find ways to recover the box office of this movie and let more people go to the cinema to watch this movie."

"Do you have any good ideas?" Director Huo Jianqi asked.

Qi Wei replied: "Even if it is directly released in the mainland, even if it is my movie, no one will take notice of it. If it can get a good response abroad first, it is very likely that there will be a reversal."

Flowers bloom outside the wall and fragrance inside the wall. In this era when foreign monks like to chant sutras, a movie that gets a good response abroad can often get a good box office at home.

"I have thought about the method you mentioned, but will foreigners like my movie?"

"I don't know about other countries, but I know there is one country that would like it."

Qi Wei, who knew the standard answer, organized his language a little and explained:

"My film and television company has dealt with Xiao Benzi, a neighboring country. The TV series "Meteor Garden" that is being prepared is adapted from Xiao Benzi's comics, and I have a certain understanding of them.

After the Hiroshima Agreement and the economic bubble began to burst, they also needed a kind of spiritual sustenance in the economic downturn. They began to miss the slow-paced pastoral life before, and they also missed the simple father-son relationship.

Their movement to go to the countryside is in full swing, and I believe they will like this movie very much."

In fact, this is the case. This kind of rural movie about family love is very popular in Xiaobenzi. In later generations, not only the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" achieved very good box office in Xiaobenzi, but also Lao Mouzi's "My Father and Mother" in

Small notebooks are also very popular.

Later "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" was first released in China. In the end, it only sold one copy and had almost zero box office. When it was picked up by a small book, it didn't have the confidence to sell it at a high price.

In the end, I ended up losing money and made wedding clothes for others in vain.

Qi Wei will naturally not allow this situation to exist in this life.
