Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Time passes quickly.

Students usher in a new semester.

The film and television industry also ushered in an extremely crowded National Day schedule.

October passed quickly and the time came to November 10th.

In the filming base of Magic City.

The crew is filming the last scene in Diagon Alley, the last filming location.

This filming prioritized location and the young actors’ studies. Scenes that require a lot of young actors should be done during the summer vacation as much as possible.

Therefore, the plot of the aunt's house, which requires few young actors, and the plot of Diagon Alley before entering school were put to the back.

4:00 p.m.

in the monitor.

In Ollivander's wand shop, Harry took the wand from the shopkeeper's hand and carefully thought about what the shopkeeper had just said.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Harry! Harry!"

Harry turned his head and looked.

Hagrid stood outside the door, his face almost hidden by his long unkempt hair and thick beard. But his kind eyes can still be seen shining.

"Happy birthday."

Harry smiled.

As long as he can remember, this 11th birthday is his first birthday, and the first time someone cares about him so much.

But immediately his eyes moved slightly downward and fell on Hagrid's hand.

Hagrid was holding a birdcage in his hand, with a beautiful owl standing inside.

"Wow -" Harry couldn't help but exclaimed, his mouth slightly opened, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and his eyes shone with excitement.

…

Chen Xiao took the microphone and shouted loudly: "Yes! Thank you for your hard work. Finished!"

The staff applauded.

Reid also looked around excitedly.

Chen Xiao continued: "As per the old rules, I'll treat you to the closing banquet tonight."

"Thank you, Director Chen!"

"Thank you, Director Chen!"

Chen Xiao walked up to the young actor playing Harry and said, "Red, if your parents are free, please ask them to bring you here."

"Well, my dad is free. I'll see you in the evening, Director Chen." Reid bowed politely and walked towards the lounge.

Chen Xiao communicated with the on-site staff for a while, then left the scene and returned to the director's lounge.

Because there were many children taking online classes this time, the actual shooting time every day was shorter. In order to make full use of time, the crew built a post-production base in the filming base to edit footage and create special effects while the children were taking online classes.

There is not much work left, I estimate it will be done in 10 days, and then I can take a short break.

Chen Xiao yawned and prepared to go to the restaurant where we would have dinner tonight.

…

The next evening.

In an elegant private room at the Magic City Genting Huating Hotel.

The light fell softly on the tables, chairs and carpet.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see a blue sea. The sea and sky meet, sparkling.

Two men and one woman were sitting around the table, all looking to be in their forties.

The man in his forties with glasses on the left was smiling, turning his head and asking: "Old Sun, you have been really busy in the past two years. I heard that when casting for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", ten Thousands of children have signed up, you have worked really hard.”

Sun Li smiled and waved his hand, "Old Liu, you are exaggerating. This must be the result of the team."

The two men had worked with him before and were considered friends.

Four years ago, when he was the chief director of a movie, Lao Liu was the assistant director and another woman, Sister Yang, was the producer.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then the waiters started serving the dishes one after another.

Soon, the table was filled with the restaurant’s specialties—braised beef, passion fruit prawn balls, grilled cod with honey sauce, etc.

Sister Yang served Sun Liman a drink and said, "Old Sun, we are all at the music hall now, do you want to come too?"

Sun Li's hand holding the cup paused, and then he chuckled in his heart.

After staying in a flat place like Oriental Media for a long time, I almost forgot that I was in the entertainment industry and regarded myself as an artist pursuing pure art.

Before coming, he thought it was really a gathering of friends.

Now it seems that this is poaching.

Sun Li shook his head and said honestly: "No need, I think the atmosphere in Oriental Media is quite good."

Lao Liu held his chopsticks and put the tips of the chopsticks on the plate. He sighed and glanced at Sun Li, "Seriously, Lao Sun, I feel sorry for you."

Sister Yang patted the table gently and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Don't say that. Chen Xiao is really good to his subordinates. Look, how many photography awards has Fang Rong won? The most in the Eagle Country Film Academy Award Best Photography Award, Best Photography in Cannes.”

Old Liu snorted coldly and retorted: "Fang Rong follows Chen Xiao, either as an art director or a director of photography. Where is Old Sun? When you participate in Chen Xiao's films, you are always the casting director, right? The casting director can get There are far fewer awards. Besides, he is actually the chief director!”

"No..." Sun Li raised his hand and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lao Liu holding his hand down.

Lao Liu pressed his wrist with his right hand, leaned forward slightly, plucked his fingers with his left hand, and summed up Sun Li with a serious look:

"Old Sun, you need to have a good background and abilities. You used to be the chief director of several productions. In the past three years, except for "Family with Children," you have been the casting director, right?"

Sister Yang sighed and said, "Okay, just have a movie called "Family with Children"."

Old Liu waved his hand and said firmly: "How many years have Old Sun followed Chen Xiao? He became the chief director once, and Chen Xiao gave him Tianzao once. The rest of the time, he always used Old Sun's connections. Is this ridiculous?"

Sun Li took a deep breath.

This is outrageous. Are you now being worshiped as an ancestor by the music crowd?

Sun Li tried his best to suppress the urge to curse, and forced out a smile, ""Family with Children" is not a sweet date, it is a large sugar factory. Please stop talking, okay? I only came here today as a dinner party with friends. Let’s stop the topic here, okay?”

One of these two people is a good person, and the other is a bad person.

Sister Yang seemed to say nice things, but every word she said was secretly comparing him to Fang Rong.

He sang and sang in harmony, and it was like a barrage of firecrackers, without giving him a chance to interrupt.

Suddenly I remembered a joke from a netizen - the city is full of routines, I want to go back to the countryside!

I really want to go back to Dongchuan Village.

It is said in the east that only Fang Rong's peacock is annoying. He can be as pure as he wants.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about Chen Xiao." Old Liu took a bite and changed the topic, "Lezhong really wants to invite you to join. To put it bluntly, Oriental Media still relies on scripts. Even Chen Xiao He is a genius. He was exposed to old artists when he was a child, and he has come up with many ideas since he was a child. There will be a day when his inspiration runs out, and then won’t his output plummet?”

Sister Yang, who was still singing the red face just now, nodded slowly, "You are really right. Isn't he going to take a break for half a year this year to find inspiration?"

Old Liu nodded, looked at Sun Li, and said seriously:

"You come to Lezhong for a long-term plan. Lezhong is large. It gives you greater creative freedom! Whatever type of script you like, you will be the chief director and we will match you with the best production team."

Sun Li clenched his chopsticks.

Talking about "what type of scripts do you like?" I like Chen Xiao's brain, go and get it!

Stop fucking harming me!

Who doesn’t know how to draw cakes?

I suddenly felt envious of Chazelle.

As for Chazelle, he would just put the dishes in front of him on the table right now, right? Ah, so envious.
