The only sun in Huayu

Chapter 61: Filming Wrapped Up and Speculation (44 chapters, still 1 updates, 2 words!)
"Bingbing, don't disturb my creative process. All my passion and excitement are reserved for the film; you can't be so selfish!"

Fan Bingbing was speechless and unable to say anything.

Shen Shandeng succeeded!

7 month 5 day.

Chen Hao has rejoined the production team.

The crew of "The Eunuch" filmed the remaining scenes.

Silky smooth.

After two months of collaboration, Shen Shandeng and his team worked together very well.

For ordinary shots, let Wu Jing handle them; we need to train a capable director as soon as possible.

Since the goal is to create the "Du Gong" universe, a hero needs three helpers; he can't do it alone.

Zhou Qifeng and editing assistant Xu Ningzhu were sent to Beijing Film Studio to process and prepare the materials.

During the filming of "The Eunuch", there was an editing team on set. When reviewing the sample footage, they also took the opportunity to screen and organize the materials in the early stages.

He estimated that after organizing the original materials for "The Eunuch," it would still take close to 30 hours, a very large workload.

However, Shen Shandeng was not afraid. He had been reborn and his energy was terrifying.

The crew was able to maintain this schedule for more than two months, even though they were working more than ten hours a day.

In this life, I'll just not work in civil engineering; otherwise, I'd definitely have the physique of a top-tier ox or horse, capable of crushing my colleagues from my previous life.

7 month 15 day.

Anji, Zhejiang.

Han Sanping took time out of his schedule to visit the production team of "The Eunuch".

Filming for "The Eunuch" is wrapping up today.

The bamboo forest stretches like waves, with rolling hills completely covered by bamboo. Nourished by the scorching sun and abundant rain, the bamboo displays a lush, vibrant green that seems almost dripping with moisture.

The sunlight, filtered through the bamboo leaves at the top, was no longer a scorching beam, but transformed into countless leaping green spots of light with pale gold edges, sprinkling onto the ground covered with a thick layer of withered yellow bamboo leaves.

Han Sanping felt a surge of joy, as if the weather was no longer stuffy and had become cooler.

Production manager Zhang Nengshou reported: "Director Shen is very capable. No wonder President Han thinks highly of him! He is full of indomitable spirit!"

“Young people have a lot of drive.” Han Sanping nodded calmly.

He was both shocked and pleased.

I thought Shen Shandeng wouldn't be able to control the crew, so I prepared for the worst.

They are young people after all, and growth takes time.

As a result, nothing unexpected happened.

We waited and waited, and now filming is almost over.

Han Sanping's prepared remarks were never used.

His pride naturally stemmed from his discerning eye.

Grab it!
Zhang Nengshou said, "Director Shen maintained high efficiency and strictly implemented the plan from the beginning of the preparation work to the actual filming."

"We hold a production meeting every day without fail, bringing together heads of various departments to review the day's progress, confirm the details of the next day's announcement, and resolve any problems that arise."

"The command chain is clear. On-site, Director Shen is in charge of artistic creation, while I am responsible for administrative management, progress, and budget control. The clear division of responsibilities avoids getting bogged down in trivial matters."

"A punctuality bonus has been set up, and we strictly follow the notices and execute tasks on time, starting work on time, moving to different locations on time, and finishing work on time."

Zhang Nengshou knew that his purpose in coming to the "Supervisor" production team was to cooperate with Shen Shandeng, and he also knew what Han Sanping wanted to know.

He had been looking forward to this presentation for a long time!
It's not for personal advancement, but to contribute to Chinese cinema!

Han Sanping nodded repeatedly as he listened. Shen Shandeng's province, in most of the provinces, was generous when it came to spending money.

The crew members at the lower levels were actually paid more than those in other crews.

Han Sanping looked at the shooting log again and noticed the daily report system.

After work each day, the production team fills out a detailed daily report, recording the actual number of shooting scenes, the amount of film used (meters, rolls), working hours, staff attendance, vehicle usage, any problems that occurred, weather conditions, and any discrepancies with the plan.

There are also progress tracking and early warning systems, daily analysis of reports, and comparisons with the plan.

In the early and middle stages, several major productions failed to meet their planned schedules for several consecutive days. After analyzing the reasons, the subsequent plans were adjusted appropriately, and the problem was solved by increasing manpower and equipment.

It solves various problems silently and effectively.

At the same time, the director and cinematographer were organized to develop the film as soon as possible, review the sample footage, identify problems in a timely manner, and decide whether to reshoot.

In addition, there is strict material management, with a strict system for the receipt, use, and return of film, expensive props, costumes, etc., to prevent waste and loss.

Of course, the most unexpected thing was Shen Shandeng's safety awareness.

Establish dedicated university student safety officers to strictly enforce safety regulations, especially when dealing with fireworks, martial arts, equestrian activities, and large machinery.

Zhang Nengshou noticed Han Sanping's focus and said, "Director Shen always says that safety is the biggest cost saving."

"To this end, Director Shen hired college students to supervise the process. Throughout the entire filming period, there were no serious safety incidents, only a few minor ones."

Speaking of this Zhang expert, one can only admire him but also feel helpless.

In this regard, always trust college students. If they disagree, they really disagree. Even if the power structure of the production team blushes, it won't make a difference.

"There's no comparison, no comparison at all. As for John Woo, sigh, there are always big and small issues. I hope filming can be completed smoothly." Han Sanping used to pretend, but now he's a bit too lazy to pretend anymore.

Zhang Nengshou is not one to be trifled with. He knows what Han Sanping is thinking. It's not that he's particularly satisfied with the big directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but there aren't many capable people available, so he has to use them for now.

At this level, Zhang Nengshou shouldn't interrupt, so he pretended not to hear.

Shen Shandeng stared at the monitor.

In July, the bamboo forests of Jiangnan are unbearably hot and humid, even in the early morning and evening.

The air felt like stagnant, lukewarm water, tightly enveloping everyone.

The crew members communicated in hushed tones, and occasionally there were slight metallic clanging sounds as equipment was moved, but these were quickly swallowed up by the natural sounds of the bamboo forest.

After viewing the close-up, Shen Shandeng clearly saw that the bamboo poles were darker in color at the joints under the humid air, as if outlined with ink lines, carrying a tenacious rhythm of life.

I checked the distant view again; it should be fine.

"I hereby announce that filming for 'The Eunuch' has been fully completed."

After more than two months of work, the crew cheered.

"Director."

Shen Shandeng invited Han Sanping to the wrap party.

Han Sanping readily agreed.

The wrap party was very lavish.

After being on edge for more than two months, Shen Shandeng relaxed and felt much more at ease.

"Thank you, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I'll do it. You can do as you please."

Chen Kun, holding a wine glass, stood up to offer a toast and downed it in one gulp.

Shen Shandeng said, "It's all thanks to the factory director's full support."

Han Sanping smiled without saying a word.

Chen Kun excitedly toasted Han Sanping again.

Han Sanping sat for a while, then left.

The song ends and everyone disperses.

Shen Shandeng drank a sip each and got a little drunk, then arranged for a car to take them to the hotel.

Ensure safety, especially for female colleagues, and implement measures effectively. The closer to the end, the more crucial it is to get things done perfectly.

"Good sister?"

When Shen Shandeng returned to the hotel, he saw Chen Hao leaning against the window, looking upset after just finishing a phone call.

I asked around and found out that someone in the other person's family was unwell and they needed to go back immediately.

"I'll arrange for someone to accompany you, don't worry," Shen Shandeng said to Ma Youde over the phone.

Chen Hao was very touched: "Thank you."

Seeing that she was emotionally vulnerable and wanted to leave immediately, Shen Shandeng was relieved to make sure that an assistant was with her.

Back to BJ.

Shen Shandeng immediately got to work, first finalizing the publicity and distribution details with various investors.

Yu Dong personally attended the event. He has deep connections with China Film Group and has already used his network to confirm that the material for "The Eunuch" is of good quality.

With the combined publicity and support from various quarters, this film has the potential to make money; the only question is how much.

Yu Dong began to focus on the share of the sequel.

The ending of "The Eunuch" is truly first-rate. He hadn't even entered the Directorate of Ceremonial, his strength and status hadn't reached the top, and he wasn't yet the Eunuch. It's clear there will be a sequel.

"Brother, when it comes to directors I believe in, I'm willing to bet big."

"I am the distributor for Jiang Wen's new film. We have prepared more than 600 copies of the film, which is more than the number of Hollywood blockbusters that have been released."

Fearing that Shen Shandeng might not appreciate his boldness, Yu Dong explained: "Chen Kaige's 'The Promise' only had 470 copies, which set a historical record for the number of copies of domestic films at that time."

"I've just pushed the record up again."

Shen Shandeng found his arrogant demeanor somewhat amusing, but a thought suddenly occurred to him.

The fact that "The Eunuch" is going to compete with "Paper Clip" for the same time slot will inevitably cause conflict.

He needs supporters, people to draw the fire for him.

Shen Shandeng didn't want to increase the difficulty if he could win easily.

So he asked Yu Dong in return, "Do you have high hopes for 'The Sun Also Rises'?"

Yu Dong was taken aback at first, then nodded: "Of course I think it's good; this is Jiang Wen's movie."

Shen Shandeng said seriously, "I don't think it's a good chance!"
