My success is all about dog food

Chapter 71 Jiang Mou's Ambition

"Director Jiang, is it going to be finished so soon?" Lu An asked in disbelief.

"Yeah." Jiang Mou nodded, as a response to Lu An's question.

"Hahaha." Wang Ke next to him suddenly laughed:

"Xiao An, is it a big loss? Are you confused? I went to play on the National Day, but I didn't get a girlfriend and forget it. After I come back, the movie will be finished, and there are still many things I haven't learned yet."

After finishing speaking, Wang Ke even "tsk tsk tsk" several times.

What Wang Ke said made Lu An even more depressed.

"Director Jiang, how did you shoot so fast?"

"The actors are in good condition these days." Thinking of Lu An's current situation, Jiang Mou seemed to be a little gloating, and the corners of his mouth evoked an imperceptible smile:

"So the speed of shooting is sped up."

"..."

Lu An was speechless for a while.

"Okay, let's go, the last scene for today." Jiang Mou greeted and went out first.

"Let's go, Xiao An." Wang Ke got up, hugged Lu An's shoulder from behind and said:

"Don't worry, you still have a lot to learn, and there will be more than just one movie in the future."

"But after this movie is finished, you and Director Jiang don't know when you will start making a new movie." Lu An said very depressed.

Originally, I wanted to study on the set for a while longer, but it turned out... so quickly.

This is not scientific!
"Then you write two more good notebooks. When you get the notebooks, I will immediately invest in the shooting." Wang Ke continued.

"..."

After coming out with Wang Ke, Jiang Mou had already sorted out the things in the crew, sitting in the director's chair, and the small screen in front displayed everything captured by the camera.

Everyone knows that this is the last scene of the scene. Although everyone who saw it looked a little tired, they were more excited.

And the most intuitive effect brought about by these is: the filming of the last scene in the crew went very smoothly!
"Card!"

Jiang Mou picked up the white loudspeaker beside him and shouted loudly.

This time, Jiang Mou didn't rush up to reprimand the director actor as usual, but continued to put the megaphone near his mouth, solemnly announcing:

"The Shawshank Redemption, finish!"

As Jiang Mou's voice fell, there was a moment of silence in the crew, and then violent cheers erupted.

Everyone had a smile on their face.

The excitement of the finale infected everyone, and even reached its peak when Jiang Mou said that he had booked a five-star hotel for the celebration banquet.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, in a private room of a five-star hotel in Yanshan, everyone in the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption" held a glass of wine in their hands and toasted each other.

The person who received the most toasts was Jiang Mou, followed by Wang Ke.

It was lively for a while, and Jiang Mou said it several times, so that fewer people came to toast him.

"Director Wang, now that the film is finished, will it be released soon?" Lu An asked while sitting next to Wang Ke, lightly touching Wang Ke's arm.

"Well, logically speaking, it shouldn't be a big problem." Wang Ke said, "With Lao Jiang's qualifications, his film will definitely be edited within two months at most."

"Then, Director Wang, how much box office will this movie get?" Lu An couldn't help asking.

Lu An was really curious about this question.

Hearing this, Wang Ke glanced at Lu An in surprise, and then asked, "The box office, are you still thinking about this thing?"

"..." Lu An asked silently: "Don't you want to make a movie at the box office?"

"I want to, of course I want to." Wang Ke replied: "But, what does this have to do with your movie?"

"?" Many question marks popped up in Lu An's head.

Seeing Lu An's confused look, Wang Ke finally couldn't help but chuckled, and asked:

"You also joined the film crew on the first day. Let me ask you, have you ever seen Lao Jiang ask a reporter to come over to promote the movie?"

Lu An shook his head, that's really not the case.

Logically speaking, with Jiang Mou's status, the matter of wanting to promote a movie and finding a reporter can't be solved with a single sentence?

"Since there is no publicity, where is the box office?" Wang Ke then asked.

"Ah?" Lu An asked in surprise, "Aren't movies only promoted after they are shot?"

"..." Wang Ke sighed and said: "Yes, it is true that most of the movies are promoted after the filming is completed, but if someone with Lao Jiang's status is rushing to the box office, then the promotion has already started. It should be on the agenda.”

After hearing Director Wang's words, Lu An suddenly understood, but he had new doubts:

"Then if Director Jiang didn't rush to the box office, why did he make this movie?" Lu An was a little confused.

"Xiao An, do you still remember what I said when we met to discuss the script?" At this time, Jiang Mou suddenly asked.

Jiang Mou, who had been toasted with many glasses of wine, looked slightly rosy at the moment, and his eyes slightly lost focus.

"Ah, Director Jiang." Lu An frowned when he heard Jiang Mou's sudden question.

"It's a prize!" Jiang Mou suddenly slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table, and stood up with a "shua".

Due to Jiang Mou's sudden movement, the originally lively private room became quiet in an instant!
All eyes were on Jiang Mou, who didn't know that the boss of the crew suddenly stood up and wanted to say something.

"I, Jiang Mou!"

Because of the alcohol, Jiang Moulue felt a little dizzy. He needed to stretch out one hand to support the back of the chair so that he could stand still, and put the other hand on his chest:

"Yanshan Film Academy has been graduating for 15 years. In the first year of graduation, I set a box office record of 100 million with the movie "Mountain" with a small cost of 3000 million. This record has never been broken.

For so many years, I have worked hard in the film industry, so far..."

Having said that, Jiang Mou's tone suddenly dropped:
"Nothing."

Everyone knows that when Jiang Mou said he got nothing, he meant that his films did not receive international recognition.

But in fact, who really dares to say that Jiang Mou's strength is not as good as those award-winning directors?
And for so many years, Jiang Mou has been running with him, in fact, the biggest reason is...the arrogance of those award judges and their contempt for the Chinese people.

Jiang Mou's emotions seemed to have infected everyone, and the atmosphere in the entire private room seemed a little stagnant!
"But, I'm not convinced." Jiang Mou continued to speak:
"Every time I lose, those bullshit selection committees always find a lot of problems for my film. But this time, with "The Shawshank Redemption" in my hand, I can't believe what else they can say!
This battle must be won! "

　Cough, the recommendation did not advance, sad.

　　In order to thank everyone for their help during this time, let’s add an update at [-] pm.
