He patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder and said,"It's a very good shot. It's really heartbreaking to watch."

"Indeed, a little bit."

The two walked to the side and sat down on the lounge chair.

Director Li sighed:"I didn't expect you to finish the filming so quickly. If the filming is easy, the post-production work must be more difficult, right?"

"It is indeed quite heavy, and in the later stage we need to use light, music and other metaphors to show people’s moods and the situation of the times."

Director Li nodded.

It is indeed quite complicated.

It is December 27th now.

The Chinese New Year will be on February 5th next year, the Lantern Festival will be on February 20th, and the winter vacation will end on February 28th.

If it can be completed in 45 days, it will be broadcast between the Lantern Festival and the winter vacation to show the film to more people.

However, it may be too difficult for the crew, right?

He asked tentatively:"How long do you think it will take?"

"Twenty days, maybe?"

Director

Li frowned.

"Twenty days? Didn't you say the task was heavy? Don't worry, quality comes first."

"《Titanic took two weeks. In comparison, it is indeed heavier."

Director Li was a little amused.

Why do I always feel that he is secretly showing off his ability?

But looking at Chen Xiao's serious and innocent expression, maybe I am overthinking it.

He is just that fast.

"No rush, you can take your time and take more rest."

He immediately reminded:"When the film is ready, I plan to let all the staff of the Art Department watch it together first."

First, to see the quality of the film.

Second, it will be reviewed. The speed of issuing the release permit will be improved.

This film is essentially a promotional film, but it will be broadcast on major video playback websites, so it must be considered a movie in form.

Therefore, the Radio, Film and Television Bureau needs to issue a screening license.

Third, the film has too many metaphors, and the staff of the Art Department have some artistic foundation. Everyone will write interpretations and impressions after watching it.

When the film is released, the official Weibo"Voice of Literature and Art" will publish an interpretation. It will attract some fans to the official Weibo and make everyone pay more attention to the cause of literature and art.

Director Li continued to ask:"Will you be able to watch it together at that time? You may need to help interpret some places."

Chen Xiao nodded,"Well, no problem."

This is a simple matter.

And he also hopes that the public will understand and appreciate this movie better, of course he is willing to go over to help interpret it.

After Director Li chatted with him for a few more sentences, he left the crew

……

In the evening, in a high-end restaurant near the Capital Gymnasium, the crew was booking a wrap-up party.

At the same time, the news that Chen Xiao's new film"Farewell My Concubine" had finished filming also spread quickly on the Internet.

Because the crew was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture, from the beginning of filming, even if the reporters knew where the filming location was, they did not dare to squeeze in for interviews.

So, more than a month later,"Farewell My Concubine" gradually faded out of the public's view.

But now, the news of the wrap-up came out.

Coupled with the photos and short videos of Chen Xiao and the crew holding a celebration party in the hotel

, people's expectations for the second work of the Cannes Palme d'Or winning director were instantly ignited.

The short video of the wrap-up celebration party taken by passers-by outside the hotel received millions of likes within an hour of being posted.

Of course, most of them came from Chen Xiao, the leading actors and fans of"Titanic".

Hundreds of thousands of comments have accumulated below the short video.

Two hours later, the popularity of this video became higher and higher, and it was directly noticed by many celebrities.

Popular star Wins, as well as actor Zeng Wei and others directly forwarded and commented.

Wins:"✿✿ヽ(°▽°)ノ✿I look forward to Director Chen’s work. I heard Director Chen mention this work in Cannes. It has a lot of cultural heritage and must be a masterpiece!

Zeng Wei:"I heard it was broadcast on CCTV. I look forward to Director Chen’s new work!"

……

As a result, the news of the completion of"Farewell My Concubine" became popular in the entertainment industry and ranked first on the entertainment charts.

Fans, passers-by who follow the entertainment industry, and Peking Opera enthusiasts all came to join in the fun.

"I heard there are a lot of veteran actors, it should be a masterpiece, it must be good. Looking forward to it"

"I guess the pictures are beautiful and well-made. But... this is a promotional video for opera, what's the point of watching it?"

"Yes, Director Chen, can you please go and shoot a romantic TV series? What else can I watch besides the pictures when I shoot a drama promotional video for the bosses?"

"I don't understand opera, and I'm not interested in it. I can probably fall asleep after watching it for three hours."

"After watching Titanic, I have been out of TV dramas for a long time, and I feel that other TV dramas are boring. I also watch the promotional videos of operas!"

"Although I also... but as a fan, I will put his photo aside to motivate myself to finish watching it. This is what a qualified fan does!(´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)"

"6."

The discussion on the Internet was heated.

The celebration party was coming to an end.

Everyone was a little drunk.

Especially Chen Xiao.

He could drink quite well, but he couldn't stand the constant toasts.

Chen Xiao yawned, stood up, opened the glass door, and walked to the terrace to get some fresh air and avoid the alcohol. As soon as he went out, he saw the director's assistant sitting on a rattan chair with a tablet in his arms.

Chen Xiao walked towards the assistant and walked behind him. Inadvertently, his eyes swept across the screen in the assistant's hand.

Hmm?

Isn't the photo on the screen his own?

Although he didn't know what the assistant was doing, Chen Xiao didn't have the interest to peek at other people's screens.

He looked away, dragged the stool next to him, and asked directly:"What are you looking at?"

The assistant noticed him and shuddered.

"Director Chen, I'm reading the comments online."

Chen Xiao sat down on the rattan chair next to him, leaned against the back of the chair and looked sideways at the assistant.

He joked,"I just glanced at your screen, and the title seems to be"Is Chen Xiao's new film really worth looking forward to?" What, are you my hater?"

The assistant waved his hands quickly,"No, no, I'm taking note of which media outlets are blackening us. When the film is released, I'll dig it up and slap them in the face."

Chen Xiao smiled and waved his hands,"You're really free. However, you can refer to their suggestions. Let me see, what did they say?"

The assistant handed the tablet to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao glanced at it.

There were several points in the content.

First, do young people really like to watch opera promotional videos?

Second, are official films too limited and too formulaic?

Third, it is estimated that Chen Xiao does not understand opera. Can the script he wrote really promote traditional drama?

Fourth, there is a saying recently that the emergence of the genius Chen Xiao can bring a new trend to the domestic film and television industry. The editor thinks this statement is too exaggerated. How much can he do alone?

The article also mentioned at the end that great directors will also fail. I hope he will not"peak at the peak of his debut and fall at the peak."
