Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 317 Revisiting the old place with Nazha

After all the scenes of "The Mermaid" were completed, the busy post-production work began.

Dubbing, editing, music, special effects, and reshoots.
Each item is personally controlled by Cheng Xi and Stephen Chow.

Especially the most important editing work, both of them followed the whole process.

It was fine during the filming, both of us had our own ideas, and when there were some disagreements, we would film both of them.

Now the editing only requires one version.

This shows how stubborn Stephen Chow is.

"Director Cheng, you should leave more space for this part. Giving it directly is indeed more complete and easier to understand, but it will leave less for the audience to chew on and savor."

"Director Cheng, the pace here should be a little faster, because the previous part was already depressing. We are releasing it during the Spring Festival."

"Director Cheng."

Cheng Xi watched Stephen Chow pulling at every step, and felt that the final editing rights were in his hands.

Otherwise, he would have cut it without even asking.

But Cheng Xi is a person who fully respects talent and professionalism.

I know that from a purely professional perspective, there is still a big gap between me and Stephen Chow.

The only advantage may be youth, energy, and foresight.

So most opinions still listened to Stephen Chow's ideas.

But there were some famous scenes that were deeply engraved in Cheng Xi's mind, so he would not give in.

To use a joke that was later made into a meme: "What does Stephen Chow know about "The Mermaid"? Don't make any changes to it."

Of course, Stephen Chow is also a connoisseur. As long as Cheng Xi explains slowly, the differences will gradually decrease.

After all, these are also Stephen Chow’s ideas for the future.

It’s just that after the changes, some butterfly effect deviations will occur.

In short, the two of them finally worked in perfect harmony to advance the editing work.

When the editing work is almost done and all that’s left is the special effects to be completed, the film can be made.

Cheng Xi found Nazha who had just finished her announcement and personally filmed a video for her and Shen Teng as the spokespersons for Honor of Kings.

Cheng Xi knew that Honor of Kings was also a powerful tool that could bring in huge traffic, just like League of Legends.

So he doesn't favor one over the other when it comes to the two beauties. Since Reba has League of Legends, he arranges Honor of Kings for Nazha.

Otherwise, he would be too lazy to do it himself and would just throw it to the planning department.

My previous cosplay of Diao Chan was just a trial run.

This time, MV, posters, cosplay, and dubbing are all arranged.

Of course, the protagonist is still Nazha.

Shen Teng is just an extra, responsible for lowering the overall appearance.

Moreover, Shen Teng is one of the artists who plays this game quite frequently, so the opportunity was given to him.

Zuibai Entertainment Recording Studio.

"Naza, your voice should be more charming, with a touch of purity and innocence."

Cheng Xi assigned Nazha two roles to develop, one is Daji, the most commonly used character by novice girls, and the other is Diao Chan, the character she cosplayed.

The current dubbing of Daji.

Nazha was in the recording studio, wearing a headset, and nodded.

After brewing his emotions for a while, he said:
"Please give Daji your orders, Master!"

"Not bad, it would be better if the master dragged the tone a little further. Let's do it again."

So for half the morning, Cheng Xi kept listening to Nazha's charming voice on repeat.

"Daji, I have always loved my master because I was programmed to do so."

"Daji, play with you~"

"The tail can be used for more than just tickling~"

"Ah, it's ruined."

After finishing the recording, Nazha walked out of the studio, came to Cheng Xi and said:

"Brother, did you design these lines as well?"

"Some of it was, and a few of it I improvised."

Of course, Daji's lines were scripted, but Cheng Xi added a few familiar lines on the spur of the moment.

It better reflects Daji's characteristics.

"Why are you blushing? Are you thinking something wrong?"

"No, I didn't. It's my senior brother who designed the lines that are a bit crooked."

"You don't understand. LSPS love this kind of voice chat. It's playful and fun. Why not?"

"When you become famous because of these lines, remember to repay me!"

When Nazha saw Cheng Xi's raised eyebrows, she knew that her senior brother was up to no good.

"Tonight, let's talk about it tonight."

"What will we talk about tonight?"

When Cheng Xi heard this, he couldn't help laughing and made another joke.

Zhan Wuzha also raised her little fist and gently hit Cheng Xi.

After completing the MV, posters, cosplay, and dubbing.

Cheng Xi also made a collection of Zhan Wuzha's wonderful operations and his operations, and put it on the startup page of King of Glory.

Cheng Xi knew that many people were attracted by the character of the stupid beauty.

It's not aggressive and very interesting. Boys don't mind girls liking it. This character is very likable.

Seeing the glamorous stars doing things that are so appealing to fans and having such a down-to-earth side can help narrow the distance between them and their fans.

Increase fan stickiness.

It also increases Nazha's exposure.

When "Love O2O" comes out, I guess the popularity will boost each other.

The TV series "Shan Shan Comes to Eat" filmed this year has been aired and has received good responses.

It can be considered as repaying Yang Mi a favor.

It all depends on when she will come to fulfill her promise of "treating us to dinner in the college cafeteria".

"Love O2O" is still on hand and has not been broadcast, including the TV version of "Detective Chinatown".

Cheng Xi plans to wait until the acquisition of 56 Video Network is successful and then directly put it on the new video website for diversion and playback.

Both of them now have a lot of fans.

One is Rao Man’s big IP, and the other is the fans accumulated by the movie version.

Therefore, the stickiness and drainage effects of the two are definitely more reliable than other dramas.

However, 56 Video Network is currently in a fierce competition with Sohu, and neither side is willing to give in.

Sohu's advantage is that the company behind it is more powerful, while Zuibai's advantage is that they are more willing to spend money. Furthermore, Sohu already has its own video website, so he is more interested in the video library.

The qualifications of the video website that Cheng Xi is interested in.

This is equivalent to the difference between having and not having. At most, Sohu's acquisition can be considered icing on the cake.

So in terms of willingness, Zuibai Entertainment is more willing to invest.

In Cheng Xi's words:

If it doesn't work, just pay more money.

Renren is short of money now and doesn’t care who it sells to.

Only those who are willing to spend money are the boss.

After finishing the filming of the King of Glory endorsement, Cheng Xi took Nazha to Yanda University to eat beef balls.

This is where the two of them fell in love.

It's been a long time since I last came.

Today in the recording studio, I heard Nazha dubbing "Master" and "ruined".

Cheng Xi had already been ready to make a move.

When Nazha heard her senior brother suggest going to Yanda, she happily agreed.

We can’t eat together in the hall like before, we can only hide in the private room.

After the two of them arrived at Shaoyuan Chinese Restaurant and sat down, Cheng Xi began to complain:

"I didn't expect that the private rooms at Yanda University would have a minimum consumption."

Hearing Cheng Xi's complaints, Nazha couldn't help but laugh.

She knew how rich her senior brother was now.

I didn't expect that with a minimum consumption of less than 1,000 yuan, I couldn't help but complain.

Nazha herself hasn't looked at the prices when she goes out to eat for a long time.

In addition, with more announcements this year and rising fame, he has taken on both movie and TV series.

The endorsement of Honor of Kings that was just signed today is another huge income.

Nazha is now a real rich woman.

Cheng Xi did not care because the contracts for Honor of Kings and Nazha were in his hands.

Just try to lower the price or refuse to pay.

The contract was signed by both parties in a very standardized manner, and Nazha was given the market price.

After all, I can't treat my artists unfairly.

This is also the inevitable path for Zuibai's several companies to become group-based.

"Brother, we can't afford to lose out! How about ordering two plates of diced beef and two plates of stinky mandarin fish?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Xi flicked her head.

"You can finish it all! Just give me two plates of beef cubes and one plate of stinky mandarin fish. Don't waste food!"

"Oh fine."

While the two were enjoying their meal, a young waiter came in.

She brought hot towels for both of them.

At this moment, Cheng Xi and Nazha were recognized.

Seeing the waiter's surprised look, Cheng Xi immediately put his index finger on his lips.

The waiter understood.

Seeing that she was still hesitant to leave, Cheng Xi took the initiative to say:

"Do you want an autograph?"

"Uh-huh, is that okay? Director Cheng?"

"Sure! But you can only choose one of us. Who do you want?"

"what?"

"Then I'll take Sister Nazha's!"

Nazha couldn't help laughing when she saw Cheng Xi's funny but frustrated expression.

He picked up the pen given by the waiter and signed his name for her without hesitation.

Well, this waitress does look young.

It's like when you first go to college.

It’s not an exaggeration to call Nazha sister.

But Cheng Xi was just joking with her, and in the end he signed his name neatly.

"Share it with your colleagues after we leave!"

"Okay, Director Cheng, thank you! I'm so happy tonight!"

When I saw the waiter taking the autograph and leaving with a bright face saying "I am very happy".

Cheng Xi and Nazha's appetite also improved.

After dinner, the two of them strolled around the garden as usual.

Come to the edge of the stone boat by the lake and sit on the edge.

I couldn't help laughing when I recalled that when the two of them came to Yanda for dinner a few years ago, they went into the water and were almost caught by the security guard.

At that time, the two of them were indeed naughty and embarrassed.

They even kissed in front of the security guard, which was really a mouthful of dog food.

"Tell me, will the security guard still remember us?"

"I probably won't remember me, but you must be very impressive. I guess they all know who you are."

"Hahahaha, why?"

"With my Zaza's looks, why would the security guard even notice a handsome guy like me?"

Hearing Cheng Xi's half-praise for herself, Nazha also smiled.

He took off his mask, quickly kissed Cheng Xi, and then immediately put the mask back on.

The gentle swing of her legs also showed her pleasure.

"If you're so happy, you'll give me a kiss as a reward?"

"So what else do you want, brother?"

"Why don't you review it later?"
