prodigal director

Chapter 173 Still the Boss's Profession

"Wang Lexin, make a cup of coffee and come in!"

In the office, Hao Huan was busy making a promotional video for "Cruise of Horror" by himself.

After a while, Tao Xiaohong at the front desk came in with a brewed coffee with milk and said, "Boss, Wang Lexin is filming the movie "Painted Skin". How did you forget?"

Hao Huan was taken aback for a moment, then hummed, and said, "I'm used to it."

Tao Xiaohong put down the coffee and walked out. Hao Huan picked up the coffee and took a sip, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Why can't this Tao Xiaohong taste like Wang Lexin?Either there is too much or too little milk, or too much or too little sugar!
He shook his head slightly, and looked at the date on the lower right corner of the computer. It was October 10st, 21 days had passed since Wang Lexin came in to read the script and started filming "Painted Skin".

During this period of time, he has been immersed in the special effects production of "Terror Cruise", and now he is immersed in the production of promotional videos. When he became busy, he forgot that Wang Lexin had already been arranged to shoot a movie.

After stretching his sore neck, Hao Huan continued to make the promotional video for "Terror Cruise".

The announced name of this movie is not "Horror Cruise", but "Lost Delta". The purpose is to avoid the word "horror" and directly discourage the audience.

Otherwise, this will more or less affect the box office of the movie, making those audiences who think it is a horror movie dare not buy tickets to watch it.

At the same time, in order for the audience to understand this suspenseful and brain-burning movie, Hao Huan's topic selection in the promotional film is very suitable.

The story of "Horror Cruise" is simply a story of the heroine dying in a car accident because of her guilt towards her son, and she betrayed her promise to the god of death when she went to the port for an appointment, so she was punished by infinite reincarnation.

Therefore, in the promotional film, Hao Huan took the story of the introduction of the wall painting of the grim reaper on the cruise ship to start. Through the story of "those who deceive the grim reaper will fall into the punishment of infinite reincarnation", let the audience remember this point, when the time comes When watching a movie, when they see the heroine's infinite reincarnation, but nothing can be changed, they will think of the story of deceiving the god of death, and they will know that this is a brain-burning movie, and they will know what is going on!
And the most exciting part of this movie is the suspenseful and brain-burning plot, and there are many details in the movie that need to be carefully watched by the audience to see.

Every detail symbolizes infinite reincarnation!

That's the real horror of Horror Cruise!It doesn't have too straightforward horror plots, but many plots full of details often make the audience feel a little scary when they think about it carefully.

And this is the success of a suspense thriller movie!
After Hao Huan finished making the promotional film, he passed it directly to Gu Zhaohong, who is the marketing and publicity manager of Good Luck Films, to be in charge of the promotion of the film.

Today, there are only 11 days left until November 1st, and the finished film has not yet been produced, and it is expected to take two days to complete.

So the time is actually very tight. Domestic films are submitted for review by Goodluck Films, and the review speed is very fast. For foreign countries, now Goodluck Films can arrange for review much faster after acquiring and merging individual film and television companies.

Now the finished film has not yet been produced, but the cooperation with theaters has already begun to negotiate.Since Hao Huan's previous movies have brought such high box office, so this time the theaters are going to praise Hao Huan.

November 11st, there are actually no dark horse movies in this time period.Since the National Day Golden Week, except for "Saw 1", which is barely a dark horse, the other two movies with fairly good reputations have only received more than a billion in box office. Even if the screening is extended for a month, it will be difficult to break through. 2 billion.

And at this time, Hao Huan's new movie is about to be released suddenly, which is absolutely fatal for the National Day movie!
Originally, he could hold his breath and earn millions of box office every day, but as soon as Hao Huan's new movie comes out, many movies that have already failed in daily box office will be released immediately to make room for Hao Huan.

Therefore, before the movie has passed the review and the promotional film has not been released, the domestic theater line has already given 60% of the film to Hao Huan.

This is a particularly scary statistic!
At the same time, it also shows that all major theaters are very optimistic about Hao Huan's new movie. After all, Hao Huan spent 52 billion to buy a cruise ship in order to make this movie!

Which director can have this courage?
Which director can come up with so much money?

And this time Hao Huan made a 3D movie!Therefore, as the first 3D movie in Hao Huan's career as a director, they believe that Hao Huan will definitely invest more in post-production special effects. "Return to Soul Night" also won a box office of more than four billion.

After the promotional video was sent to Gu Zhaohong, Hao Huan drank his coffee, stretched his body, took the key and walked out.

After he went to the post-production department and told the post-production employees, he left the company and drove to Shudian Film and Television City.

In the past 12 days, it took Wang Lexin a total of 5 days to arrange the preparation work, choose the location of the filming location, and let people process and arrange the shooting scene overnight.

So after filming started on the sixth day, Hao Huan didn't see Wang Lexin for a whole week. He didn't know if this idiot could make the movie "Painted Skin" successfully?
After he drove to the film and television city, he realized that he didn't know where Wang Lexin was filming this movie!
It hurts...

This time, he will not participate in the filming of "Painted Skin" and the opening ceremony. It is agreed that Wang Lexin will be responsible for it alone and does not need to report to him. So now that he has arrived at the film and television city, he has become headless in an instant. Flies, don't know where to go quietly to visit the class.

"Ask the other crew members!"

Hao Huan only knew that Wang Lexin shot the movie in Shudian Film and Television City, but the film and television city is too big, if he doesn't know a specific location, it will be difficult to find Wang Lexin.

After entering the film and television city, Hao Huan quickly found a crew that was also shooting a costume drama. Before he walked over and asked, some actors and staff immediately recognized him!
Afterwards, a director who should not be well-known, but whom Hao Huan didn't know, suddenly interrupted the filming as if flattered, and hurried towards Hao Huan, patting his ass.

Hao Huan said politely, "I'm sorry to interrupt your filming."

The young director said cheerfully: "No interruption! Director Hao's visit to the set is to make our small crew flourish!"

Hao Huan enjoyed the joy of being flattered and asked, "I want to ask, do you know where the crew of "Painted Skin" was filmed?"

"Painted skin?" The director didn't seem to have heard of it.

Hao Huan explained: "It's the new movie made by my assistant, Wang Lexin."

"Forehead……"

The other party is embarrassed, you don't know where your assistant is filming?Come back and ask us?

Is it because you, the boss, don't care about the assistant, or because your assistant is incompetent, and doesn't even report this kind of thing to you!
Suddenly, a familiar guy came over and said: "I know, "Painted Skin" was filmed at the west gate of Qin Palace, and I went to visit the set the day before yesterday!"

Hao Huan followed the voice, why did this guy seem to have known him before?Where do you seem to have seen it?This voice is also quite familiar!

Oh!
Hao Huan remembered that when Wang Lexin was filming "Happy Ghost" in the Chinese opera, he met a dog-licking star named Jiang Chen at the airport when he was flying back to the company in Beijing alone. He did not expect such a fate today. I actually met this guy even when I asked the way here.

"I unexpectedly ran into you here again."

Hao Huan smiled and said: "Thanks, I won't disturb your filming anymore, work hard, come on!"

Jiang Chen stepped forward and said familiarly: "Do you know how to get there? How about I ask my assistant to take you there!"

Hao Huan refused: "No need, I know this place better than you!"

"Okay, then you go! Let's continue filming!"

Jiang Chen said politely, with the words "I know Hao Huan very well" written all over his face, and in the eyes of the director and others on this crew, it seemed as if they were indeed quite familiar with each other.

So after Hao Huan left, the director treated Jiang Chen with a lot of respect and politeness. It felt like hugging Jiang Chen's thigh would be able to hug Hao Huan's thigh in the future.

Jiang Chen was filled with emotion in his heart!

I can only pretend to be a force like this!
Apart from the last time he met Hao Huan at the airport, this was the second time he and Hao Huan met!Originally, he thought that a big man like Hao Huan must have forgotten a little star like him, but he didn't expect that Hao Huan still remembered him, so he succeeded in gaining another wave of Hao Huan's popularity.

However, it was useless...

Hao Huan doesn't take care of me!
Jiang Chen felt so wronged that he would die, he felt that such a thing as flying into the sky would never fall on him in this life.

……

The west gate of Qin Palace.

Hao Huan arrived in a car soon.

He didn't wear a mask this time to hide his eyes and ears. The main reason is that the staff of the crew are all old royal teams. Basically, he has an impression of every staff member and is quite familiar with him, so he rushed to the scene. I won't be surprised, and then it will affect the shooting.

Everyone is very conscious and self-disciplined.

During the filming process, even if Hao Huan's father came over, he would not react too much, thus affecting the filming work.

This is the "soldier" brought out by Hao Huan!
So, when Hao Huan rushed to the set of "Painted Skin", walked in, and stood behind Wang Lexin, Wang Lexin didn't even know he was coming.

Because the staff didn't say hello to Hao Huan, and everyone's complexion didn't change significantly, otherwise it would affect the scene of hanging Wia this time, and then they could directly announce the start again.

In the air, Liu Yuxi, who was hanging the wire, found Hao Huan. Her eyes were caught by Wang Lexin, and she stopped directly: "Sister Yuxi, what are you doing! Just now, you didn't look at the opponent, but at me! Well?"

"She's looking at me!"

After finishing speaking, why did Hao Huan feel that something sounded wrong?

As soon as Wang Lexin heard this familiar voice, she suddenly jumped up from behind the camera, turned around to look at Hao Huan, and said with a bright smile: "Boss! Why are you here? Has the post-production of "Cruise Ship" been completed?" ?”

"almost!"

Hao Huan replied to her casually, and then said seriously to Liu Yuxi who came down from the wire, "I was still distracted during the filming. Is it because the director is no longer me, so you don't have any pressure and you can do whatever you want?"

Liu Yuxi has lost her temper, this guy scolds me as soon as he comes!In front of so many people and so many new actors, can't you save face?
Anyway, I'm also a first-line star, and now it's a mess, and I'm already the No.1 female star in the popularity list!
She promised dumbfoundedly: "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now, I won't do it next time!"

After hearing Liu Yuxi's words, those stars and actors who had never filmed Hao Huan's movies broke into a cold sweat. So Hao Huan is really so strict?
Seeing that Liu Yuxi was criticized for a look in her eyes, she still apologized so humbly!Then if they make any mistakes next and fail to perform well, won't they be scolded bloody?

terrible!
……

Hao Huan said coldly: "Continue to shoot! I just came here to visit after get off work, and I will not interfere with the filming."

Wang Lexin looked at Hao Huan with begging eyes, and said, "Boss, I haven't passed this Wia camera several times, why don't you show me what I need to pay attention to?"

Hao Huan had no choice but to sit on Wang Lexin's director's seat and said, "Let me see the Wia camera in front."

Wang Lexin quickly played it back, Hao Huan watched it for a while, and said, "You are a pig! This kind of mirroring needs to calculate the speed of the wire flying over, and then keep chasing the shot in advance, and keep the same speed! You What we need to pay attention to now is whether this scene can be included in the shot, otherwise, no matter how good the actor's acting skills are, if the shot fails to capture the close-up, it will be a failed shot!"

"Oh, the boss is still professional!"

Wang Lexin flattered and ordered Lao Wu to adjust the equipment. She acted positively and seriously, but Hao Huan swallowed back the words that she planned to continue scolding her.

In fact, it is not impossible to shoot this scene according to her...

It's just that the close-up shot of Liu Yuxi's flying over looks a bit off-putting.

"You keep shooting."

Just as Hao Huan was about to stand up, Wang Lexin boldly stretched out his hand and pushed him back, saying, "Boss, you can just sit here and don't hinder me! I just sat for a long time and want to stand for a while!"

If it weren't for the fact that there are so many people on the set that are easy to gossip, Hao Huan would have to teach Wang Lexin a lesson!

This stupid pig is gone!I don't want to sit here, but she stretched out her hand and pushed me down, telling me to continue sitting here!

"Very good, Wang Lexin, you can do it."

Hao Huan said words that only Wang Lexin could realize were full of danger. Others thought Hao Huan was praising Wang Lexin!
However, Wang Lexin's hand on Hao Huan's shoulder suddenly trembled, as if she had been electrocuted, and she quickly retracted it.

It's over, the boss is going to punish me again!
Wang Lexin realized that she seemed to have accidentally killed herself just now!
She stared at her hands, why are you so mean?Why did I suddenly press the boss down without my brain’s consent?
Owe!

……

PS: Please ask for a monthly pass, and it will be 400 for a dozen more.
