The villain must spend all his money before he goes bankrupt [Transmigration Book]

Ye Zhou slept dimly at home all day, then locked himself in the studio and started editing the film.

Editing with him is the editing team that Director Sang has worked with for many years. At first, the editors of the team were not interested in Ye Zhou, and they were very perfunctory to his opinions. After all, they specialize in art, although they recognized Ye Zhou's director Talent, but don't think he can help with editing.

Although there are many directors in the industry who edit films by themselves, they are still far inferior to professional top editors.

Ye Zhou saw the editor's attitude in his eyes, but he was not angry, let alone trying to be brave. He focused on the job at hand, and made clear his needs to the editor when editing certain shots.

The editing team was very reluctant when they first heard that Ye Zhou was going to complete the editing work with him. They were not afraid of being busy or tired at work.

I thought that there would be all kinds of quarrels and unhappiness at work, but what everyone in the editing team didn't expect was that this cooperation with Ye Zhou not only didn't make them feel unhappy, but made them feel bad about Ye Zhou. With a deeper understanding, I even have a heart of cherishing talents.

"If you are willing to learn editing, you can come to me at any time."

This was the last sentence that Qin Yi, the head of the editing team, said to Ye Zhou on the day of completion. Along with this sentence, there was also a private business card that was hard to find in the circle.

Ye Zhou smiled, and after putting away the business card, he continued to operate the next part of the movie non-stop.Under normal circumstances, the director only needs to be responsible for making the film, and the rest is done by professional staff, but the situation of "The Most Beautiful" is quite special, and it cannot wait for such a long review period.

The review time for movies can range from a few months to a few years. Ye Zhou can afford to wait, but Director Sang may not.

In order to make this movie pass the trial earlier, Ye Zhou asked Mr. Jiang for help. Fortunately, Mr. Jiang's face was very useful. In addition, there was nothing sensitive about this movie. It only took a few minutes from submission to review. It's done in a month.

The documentary market is already very small. According to common sense, the best planning route for this film is to send it to the competition. After winning a few awards, it will distribute a draft in China, and then it will be screened on demand. Raise word-of-mouth to build momentum, and finally realize the box office as much as possible under the premise of ensuring word-of-mouth, so as to achieve a double harvest of word-of-mouth box office.

If Director Sang is in good health and everything is fine, the movie "The Most Beautiful" should follow the same path. Ye Zhou and the relevant departments of the film crew held a meeting to discuss the same choice.

The Golden Fruit Award, a well-known domestic award, will be held in City C in mid-October this year. In addition, the overseas Austin Film Festival and Bern Film Festival will be held in late November and mid-February next year respectively.

No matter which of these film festivals they can win, it will bring great benefits to the film. They have even sent "The Most Beautiful" to the film festival for selection.

But at this moment, Ye Zhou received a call from Sang Yu.

Her voice on the phone sounded a little weak, with deep and unconcealable sadness, she said to Ye Zhou in a very soft voice: "The doctor said, there is not much time left."

Ye Zhou's heart felt as if someone had punched him hard a few times, making him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

After hanging up Sang Yu's phone, Ye Zhou remained in a daze for a while, then called the main people in charge of the "The Most Beautiful" crew and started an urgent video conference.

In the end, it was decided to withdraw from the competition for the popular awards of several film festivals, abandon the plan of improving word-of-mouth through screenings, and advance the release time as much as possible.

This is not an easy task, but with the joint efforts of many parties, the film schedule was successfully advanced by more than three months, which is already the limit time that can be achieved.

Director Sang's deteriorating health has completely disrupted the original plan, and all the previously prepared publicity plans are no longer applicable. It is very difficult for a documentary centered on documentary to carry out such a large-scale publicity in a short period of time. Disaster.

The time was so short that on the day the movie was released, the few publicity posts were just a few Weibo posts. In silence, this movie, which contained many things, was released quietly.

Xu Wei is a long-time fan of Ye Zhou. She has witnessed Ye Zhou from being hacked all over the Internet to a big director with billions of dollars in box office. Compared with talent, what she likes more is the feeling of growing up with Ye Zhou.

She will go to see every movie of Ye Zhou, and if she can get tickets for Dianying, she will never miss it. At the beginning, there were not many people who liked Ye Zhou, and tickets were easy to grab. Now, as Ye Zhou's reputation is getting bigger and bigger , His movie screening tickets have also become very rare.

However, old fans like Xu Wei generally don't need to grab tickets, there will be staff to deliver tickets, but this time the situation is a bit special.

Xu Wei has been following the progress of the new film co-directed by Ye Zhou and Sang Huaining since it was launched. Not long ago, she heard that the film was going to be sent to a film festival for selection. Who would have thought that she would suddenly receive the news of the film's release.

It's not unheard of to release early, but most of them happen to commercial films, and the schedule may be advanced due to factors such as schedule to get more box office.

But this movie, if she remembers correctly, is a documentary. Generally speaking, isn’t this kind of documentary aimed at winning awards? Compared with winning awards, the box office is placed last for documentaries s things.

Xu Wei, as a veteran fan of Ye Zhou, naturally hopes that Ye Zhou can win one or two awards with this movie. Although she knows that her favorite director is really talented, sometimes the reality is so cruel. In this circle, if you want to be recognized by others, it is obviously not enough to only have the box office, and you also need to have a certain amount of gold awards.

Only in this way can one go further and further in this circle, and have the qualifications to gain both fame and fortune.

But Xu Wei is not an extreme fan, it's just that the crew has other arrangements.

Although she was a little confused, Xu Wei bought the movie tickets for the premiere immediately and arrived at the entrance of the theater early before the movie started.

It may be because the publicity of this movie is really poor, and it is a documentary that is not very popular in the market, so not many people came to see the movie premiere, and the spacious movie hall is only sparsely filled with less than half of the seats. audience.

While waiting for the movie to start, Xu Wei saw a gray-haired old man leaning on a cane walking into the entrance of the theater. Coincidentally, his position was only one step away from Xu Wei.

Although Xu Wei was a little surprised, she didn't show it. Not long after the old man was seated, the lights of the theater went dark, and the movie started. She put away the messy thoughts in her mind and focused on the screen.

In the dark, the clear and melodious opera tone tore apart the silence, and people who have not seen it heard their voice first. This opera tone seems to have a special magical power, as if it can take those who hear it back in time together, back to dozens of years. Years ago.

Xu Wei did her homework before watching this movie. She knew that this movie was about the story of Lin Jingque, the queen of music. In order to understand the life of this queen, she found many songs of Lin Jingque's life to listen to.

This song has been repeated many times in her playlist, but Rao has already repeated many times as a single. Xu Wei is even familiar enough to sing the lyrics well, but when she hears it now, she still can't help it. Live a little trembling.

This is a completely different feeling from what she heard herself, and her ears were firmly grasped by just two simple lines.

After singing a few opera lines, the lights on the screen gradually turned on. It was an incomparably gorgeous stage. The camera moved with the lights on the stage, giving the audience the illusion of being on the scene.

If Lin Jingque's fans were watching, they would definitely recognize that this was her first solo concert at the Huasheng Stadium in D City when she was 19 years old.

When all the lights on the stage were turned on and under the spotlight, Lin Jingque, dressed in a gorgeous stage costume, appeared in the center of the stage. sense of astonishment.

It was a kind of beauty that could not be described in words. It seemed that just looking at her could not help being fascinated by it, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Xu Wei thought it was a song, until she saw the stage in the camera and the stage clothes on Lin Jingque's body that would change every few lines of the song, and a line of small characters would appear in the lower corner of the screen every time it changed. Only then did I realize that this was not a concert.

This is a special concert scene composed of many, many concert scenes.

"20 years old, spring. The solo tour of "The Man Who Chased the Wind" - City C."

"22 years old, autumn. "Walking Against the Light" solo tour - l city station."

"24 years old, Xia. The scene of the awards ceremony of the Temple of Heaven Music Festival in T City."

……

Rao Xu Wei is not a fan of Lin Jingque, seeing such a scene at this time, when she lost Lin Tianhou's passionate voice, she couldn't help but get a little teary in her eyes, let alone her fans.

This kind of picture is too shocking and beautiful. The impact of such an audio-visual feast on the audience is self-evident, so that the movie just started, and there were low sobs and sobs in the theater.

Just when everyone was intoxicated in the concert that was comparable to being in person, the singing suddenly stopped.

The panicked screams tore apart all the graceful notes, and the radiant woman on the stage took two steps back, and then, like a kite with a broken string, fell from the stage.

The camera shakes, and everything in front of me becomes blurred and messy. In the chaos, the screen goes black.

Just when Xu Wei was astonished, she suddenly heard a regretful male voice.

"The burned area accounts for 60% of the total body area. Currently, he is out of danger for the time being, but his eyes... can't be saved."

"Please be mentally prepared."

After the voice fell, there was a burst of footsteps in the quiet theater from near to far, until they could no longer be heard, and a man's cry broke out. At first, it was just suppressed choking, but later it turned into a broken cry.

The crying didn't last long, but it made the eye sockets of those who heard it sore.

When the crying gradually subsided, accompanied by the light sound of "squeak" when the door was pushed open, the dark screen finally lit up.

A line of small characters appeared in the middle of the screen.

"33 years old, Dong."

"This winter, she lost a lot of things at the same time."

"Health, beauty, eyes."

"...and voice."
