White dove

Exactly one year has passed since the first filming of Liang Haishen. As Shen Shen predicted, it took a year to generate electricity with Aijia's bankrupt money, and finally finished the filming.

The wrap-up banquet was held directly in Xishuangbanna, and Qin Doudou had also returned to the team. With the belated Tong Tong, a group of people went from the beginning to the end together, which was not easy.

Small team, low-cost production, but Shen Shen and Ruan Fei can guarantee the high quality of the finished film.

At the wrap-up banquet, Shen Shen was a little high-spirited. It was rare for him to drink too much. He announced the good news in a sober state: the platform’s documentary support plan has achieved results. They have received the head support of the S-level project and a 100 million filming fund. .

Everyone patted the table to celebrate, and Tong Tong looked at Jiang Hui after she was happy: "Brother Hui, how much did we spend for the filming?"

Jiang Hui smiled wryly, but remained calm: "All the expenses add up, 553."

Everyone was stunned, so what the hell, with the 50 from the previous sponsors, the total is only 150 million, not to mention making money, it is far from being even.

But Shen Chen waved his hands, as if everything was okay: "Don't panic, brothers, we still have a guaranteed purchase contract, right? We've finished filming now, and when the first episode is cut out, the platform has seen the finished film. , we can formally discuss the purchase price, why not recover the cost and make a small profit.”

Jiang Hui also added: "Shen Chen and I will settle this matter, don't be sour, big guy, don't worry."

"That's right, what are you worrying about, I'm here to make everyone happy, so get me all excited!" Shen Shen asked someone to bring over another case of beer: "You can't leave until you finish drinking!"

Shen Chen put bottles of beer on the table, and Tong Tong walked over to him and said, "When are you going to chat with the platform, call me."

"Okay, I was supposed to let you go together. If the partner doesn't fight together at this critical moment, how long will you wait?" Shen Chen said while opening a glass of wine.

Tong Tong took a bottle, without using a cup, touched the bottle to Shen Chen: "It must be all right."

"Must." Shen Shen grinned.

In the second half, there are more people. Fortunately, the restaurant is not far from the hotel where I live. As long as there are no fragments, I can walk there drunk.

In the past, Ruan Fei was so drunk that he was unconscious at dinner parties, and Lan Lin dragged him back. Today is the opposite. Comrade Ruan Fei doesn’t know if he deliberately restrained himself or something. He is drunk, but his consciousness is still there. On the contrary, Lan Lin seemed to be finally relieved. The long-term project he participated in for the first time was finally finished. He completely let go of himself and drank too much.

Tonight's blue forest is like a ball of soft cotton, hanging on Ruan Fei's body, his cheeks are flushed, his usual sharp and mean mouth is closed, and he has become a quiet and drunk beauty.

I don't know why, Ruan Fei didn't push him away, nor did he want to retreat as soon as Lan Lin approached as usual, he hugged the person curled up slightly like a cat, feeling pity for the first time.

Tong Tong was a little dizzy, but he wasn't really drunk. He looked at the agitated Shen Shen, and he wasn't sure if this person was really drunk or not. He looked the same as when he first met him in Banpo, passionately and recklessly. swayingly.

It was approaching midnight, and people were gradually getting tired. Tong Tong dragged Shen's arm, ready to learn Ruan Fei's kung fu, and dragged the man back to the hotel, but Shen Shen struggled and stood up staggeringly, supporting him with one hand. Tongtong's arm, baring its teeth and claws, said wildly: "I, I can, I can, I can do it, give me a machine, I, I can continue to shoot!"

Hearing the words, Tong Tong let go of her hand suddenly, staggered heavily, and almost fell headlong forward, Tong Tong stretched out her hand to grab him again: "Calm down, come on, go back to sleep honestly."

The two left the restaurant and stumbled on the road. The subtropical wind was warm and humid, and the moon was big and round. They stared at Tongtong blankly, "Look at the road!" Tongtong couldn't help frowning as he supported him.

"You, you, it's different." Shen Chen said suddenly without thinking.

Tong Tong was startled and ignored him.

"You, let's go, 22 days, I've counted, I've counted." Shen Shen made a simple sentence, he stopped firmly, his fingers fluttered in the air, and were about to touch Tong Tong's face.

Tong Tong stretched out her hand to block it, and heard Shen Shen say, "This face is different."

"What's the difference?" Knowing that the person in front of him was a drunk, he still couldn't help asking.

"In the past, there was always no expression, no expression, stupid, and often walked, distracted." Shen Shen seemed to be like a mirror in his heart, but stammered on his mouth: "Now, it's like returning, returning to the soul. "

Tong Tong was silent for a moment, and a circle of ripples swayed slightly in her heart.

He supported Shen Shen to walk to the hotel. This person was taller than him, and his frame was a bit bigger than him. It was a bit difficult to support him. When he reached the door of Shen Shen's room, he looked for the room card in his coat pocket. Shen Shen suddenly asked: "Little Tong, Have you met him?"

"Who?" Tong Tong didn't respond.

"Border town." Shen Shen leaned against the door frame, panting lowly.

Tong Tong didn't look at him, swiped the door open with the room card, and dragged Shen Chen in.

"You take a break, I'll bring you the anti-alcohol medicine, and I'll make you a glass." After speaking, Tong Tong went to her room to get the anti-alcohol medicine, and boiled a pot of water.

Shen Shen lay paralyzed on the bed, Tong Tong put the prepared medicine on the bedside, and pulled him up to drink again.

The drunk man took the opportunity to play tricks, grabbed Tong Tong's hand with some strength, and dragged him to the bed, "Is it?" Shen Shen asked, his eyes darkened.

"Yes." Tong Tong didn't intend to hide it from him.

"Ah! Damn it!" Shen Shen held his head and rolled up on the bed: "I knew that I should drive you back and stay there with you!"

Tong Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Shen Chen was like an urchin at first, but when he was drunk, it became even worse. He said: "I want to see you anyway, but I can't see you forever."

"You didn't say that before!" Shen Shen exclaimed: "You said before that you might never see each other again!"

Really unable to reason with a drunk person, Tong Tong simply said shamelessly: "You said it too, what I said is possible, not absolute."

"You! Tong Tong! You are stupid!" Shen Shen was heartbroken.

Tong Tong handed the medicine to him: "Do you want to drink it? If you don't drink it, I'll lose it all. Don't call me if you have a headache in the middle of the night."

Shen Shen grabbed Tongtong's wrist, and gulped down the medicine in one gulp.

"Go to sleep, I won't remember anything when I get up tomorrow morning." Tong Tong rubbed the top of Shen Shen's head, and went crazy all night. This man's curly long hair was like a bird's nest.

"Don't go! I haven't made it clear why you want to see him!" Shen Shen didn't finish his madness, and threw a pillow behind him. Tong Tong had a headache, and hurried out, went into his room and locked the door.

The flight back to Nanjing in the afternoon of the next day, everyone was still groggy, and the journey was quiet, Tongtong listened to music with his earphones plugged in, Shen Shen seemed to be angry, and it was the first time that he didn't squeeze Tongtong sit together.

After going back, all kinds of follow-up work followed one after another, staring at the later editing, continuing to negotiate with the platform, Tong Tong and Shen Chen wished they could have more clones, the unhappiness that should have been in Shen Chen's heart that night quickly disappeared.

Tong Tong is well aware of Shen Shen's temper, it's uncomfortable, but it won't last long, let alone keep it in mind, that's good.

The film that was used for platform review and negotiation was the episode of Wu Renqi. The characters in that story had the most tension. There are layers of occlusions, but because of this, the whole film has a real and mysterious character. Wu Renqi's desolate long tune resounds in the twilight forest. Those who have seen this scene will never forget it for a lifetime.

This is a hard-earned bargaining chip, and it is heavy, and it really got the best return. The director in charge of purchasing on the platform said that their internal price was originally 600 million for the entire season, but now they are willing to increase it to 1000 million. The condition is to put on the banner of joint production of the platform.

"Yes." Shen Chen also made a decision happily.

Everyone at the conference table shook hands staggeredly, and Tong Tong knew that this was just their first step, and there would be more in the future.

Sure enough, the content director of the platform sent a message: "Mr. Shen, Mr. Tong, and Mr. Jiang, we can cooperate deeply in each project in the future, and give you the greatest rights and interests we can give. From the beginning, we will produce jointly. In this way, you don’t have to worry about money, and you can make better works without any worries.”

Tong Tong was very happy, and exchanged glances with Shen Chen. It stands to reason that someone as restless as Shen Shen should have a business exchange with the content director of the platform immediately, but he was very reserved at the moment, and only smiled calmly: "I just It can be said that in the field of documentaries, our studio will be the absolute leader in the future, and we look forward to future cooperation with you, and we will discuss the specific cooperation methods in detail.”

Hey, he still kept a hand, Tong Tong laughed secretly, he turned out to be a mature businessman.

After chatting, Shen Shen began to complain on the way back: "This group of people are so smart that they are in a hurry to be tied together at this meeting. Back then, when the poor sponsor pigeons died, they didn't say a word and even spoke for them. I have to be like my own family, I'm not that stupid, when the show airs, the next project will find our people, and I have to sell it for a good price."

Both Jiang Hui and Tong Tong smiled: "Boss Shen has a bargaining chip now, and he's making a lot of money."

"Just wait, the money is not over yet. There is still one item in the contract today. They added it very vaguely, but I saw it. After the show goes live, they will also simultaneously attract investment to make pre-rolls and inserts. Anyway, we are weekly. , How can one or two advertisers be recruited in 12 weeks, and there is still money to be split.”

Tong Tong was numb after hearing too much money and numbers today. Jiang Hui was very sensitive to these and praised them greatly: "Our rate of return is definitely worthy of the word "head."

"That's necessary." Shen Shen drove the car, even though he sold his house and replaced the car with a second-hand shabby car, this time he was even more energetic.

After another two months, three feature films were cut out, and the online time of the first episode has been set. Every Friday night at [-] o'clock in gold, listen to the sounds of nature with the "singer".

In the two months of intensive work, the platform spared no effort to make a wave of announcements. No one on the documentary channel has ever done this topic. Several trailers are accompanied by platform-customized hype topics. The small and beautiful visual form, A legendary life story of a personal character, as well as the concept of China's original ecological music that speaks to the world, have been promoted from childhood to adulthood, and it immediately hit people's hearts.The first episode is the last Zahndaleg. When Tong Tong was online, she was so nervous, it was like watching her own child go to the college entrance examination.

Although I have watched it countless times when editing, but on one of the largest video platforms in China, when I saw the words "Chief Planner: Tong Tong" typed in the feature film, the pride in my heart was simply indescribable.

Tears were about to fill his eyes, Tong Tong endured it, everyone was in the studio, he had to keep his energy down, and get excited again when he got home.

He refreshed it over and over again, just to see what the comments in the barrage said.

The boys in the editing team in the studio over there have already read it out:

"Worship! Finally someone took pictures of this theme!"

"The title is awesome, it looks like a movie"

"The director is Shen Chen! He is a big name in the industry and has won an international documentary award!"

"The photographer is fine, this long lens can follow textbooks."

"Don't you all think that the narration of the copywriting is also very good, and it's so emotional when paired with the BGM?"

"I love it! Just three words!"

"I cried……"

"The simplest things are often the most touching"

... In just over half an hour, the barrage had gradually increased, and Tong Tong finally let out a sigh of relief, it was done.

His cell phone vibrated, and he received a message from Border Town: "I saw the show, so proud of you!"

Biancheng not only watched it, sent it to Tong Tong for appreciation and encouragement, but also forwarded it to Moments. It is rare for someone who does not post to Moments once a year to write a long recommendation testimonial.

Tong Tong looked at the long passage, and the corners of his eyebrows and mouth curled up while reading.

Biancheng wrote: "This is the work of Xiaotong and his partners. I never thought that one day I would see his name on the big screen. To be honest, I am so proud. I didn't know what he was doing for many years, and I would Guess and imagine, but seeing these pictures now, I feel that his life is really meaningful, Xiao Tong, maybe one day I can tell you face to face, I will always support you."

These words are simple and warm, Tong Tong liked it below, and left a message: There will be a day, soon, believe me.

It was a bit difficult to sleep at night, but it was different from the past. It was neither anxiety nor tossing and turning. After the initial excitement, the emotions turned into joy deep in my heart. Tong Tong finished all the bullet screens of the day, and went to Weibo and Zhihu I searched for comments on the Internet, there were praises and encouragements, and there were also many pertinent opinions. Some of the comments were particularly well written. He even used the official account of the studio to forward the replies, and it was late at night before he knew it.

He felt that the data on the platform and the comments from fans did not make him happy because of Biancheng's love and appreciation. Until now, he really felt that he had changed. Thinking of the self who was stabbed to extremes in the early years, he was in a trance like another people.

Don't be a vine, Tong Tong thought in his heart, but be a tree, stand beside the border town, and stand hand in hand with him.
