The atmosphere in the room was a little stiff for a while, Zhang Yang looked at Yan Xingzhou, the hostility in his eyes hardly concealed.
Yan Xingzhou still had a calm expression, which made Zhang Yang feel more hostile.
Li Ran's emotional intelligence is often offline, and he doesn't realize the undercurrent between Zhang Yang and Yan Xingzhou. He is still watching the fun and adding fuel to the scene. Hand in hand, maybe we can bring out some interesting topics.
Wasn't the last collaboration the group of photos we took?Although Zhang Yang had to admit that Yan Xingzhou's photos were indeed professional and up to standard, but as a man, it was absolutely impossible for him to let Qu Xi and Yan Xingzhou cooperate for the second time.At least... it's not okay to take pictures.
Zhang Yang had a somewhat indifferent smile on his face, as if he didn't plan to go to work anymore.
Seeing this, Qu Xi pushed Zhang Yang's shoulder and said, "I'll take you to the garage. I'll come up after you leave."
"I'm today..." Zhang Yang wanted to say that he didn't go to work anymore.
"You are very handsome today!" Qu Xi cut off his words, and said to Li Ran and Yan Xingzhou behind him: "I'll see him off, you guys play first."
Seeing Li Ran's silly posture, he seemed to want to say that he would go with Qu Xi to see him off. Yan Xingzhou quickly stopped Li Ran, nodded to Zhang Yang, and the two entered the live broadcast room.
"What's the matter with you?" Qu Xi pushed him to the porch, and whispered, "Why does it seem like you're going to fight all of a sudden?"
"The way Yan Xingzhou looks at you makes me want to beat him up." Zhang Yang said coldly.
The young man covered Zhang Yang's mouth with his hand, and said in a low voice: "This is Li Ran's house, what else can he do to me? Can you be more mature, he is a bit strange, but not necessarily the kind you think Meaning."
"It doesn't work either way," Zhang Yang said.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what you say." Quxi said.
Zhang Yang looked at Qu Xi with no expression on his face.
Qu Xi asked: "Why are you looking at me like that? If you don't go to work, you will be late."
"You want me to leave quickly?" Zhang Yang lost his temper, like a child.
Qu Xi had no choice but to look back at the living room and saw that there was no one in the living room, so he hugged Zhang Yang and coaxed him: "You can go back quickly, you are so busy these days that you don't even have time to accompany me for dinner. Eat, I love you very much, and I don't want you to waste time on this kind of thing."
"No matter what you do on your body, it's not a waste of time." Zhang Yang said.
Qu Xi's heart moved, and he was teased by the other party's words. He couldn't help kissing the corner of Zhang Yang's mouth, and coaxed: "If you don't hurry up and come back late at night, maybe we will have dinner with Teacher Yan ..."
These words really worked. Although Zhang Yang still looked reluctant, he still left decisively.
On the other hand, Qu Xi had a smile on his face. In fact, he really liked Zhang Yang's occasional jealousy for him.
The little jealousy between the two based on mutual trust is actually quite affectionate/interesting.
At least Qu Xi thinks so.
In the live broadcast room, the live broadcast equipment has been debugged.The platform that invited Quxi to live broadcast before also cooperates with Lu Xun's company, so it is very convenient to communicate, and many details do not need to be explained too much, which saves a lot of energy.
Lu Xun projected the four people's equipment screens to the director station, and connected three cameras at the same time, so that they can switch between the live screen and the game screen when they are playing games.Because Yan Xingzhou's assistants did not come, they only participated online, so there were only Qu Xi, Xiao Tong, Li Ran and Yan Xingzhou in the live broadcast.
When Quxi was preparing for the live broadcast, Zhang Yang had already arrived downstairs in the company.
Just after Lin Muyan bought coffee from the coffee shop downstairs, he happened to meet Zhang Yang, so he shared a cup of coffee with him.
"Who did you buy this cup for?" Zhang Yang took it and asked.
"Can't I drink it by myself?" Lin Muyan rubbed his eyes, the red blood in his eyes was very obvious: "These days I've been staring at the late stage and I'm almost blind. I feel like I can fall asleep after 5 minutes without coffee."
Zhang Yang glanced at him, and said, "Isn't the release date not yet knocked out? Are you afraid of sudden death if you work so hard?"
"I'm here today to tell you about this." When the elevator arrived, the two of them came out together. Lin Muyan yawned and said, "Go to your office and tell me, ask your assistant to help me order breakfast. I just forgot it downstairs." purchase."
"Don't drink coffee on an empty stomach. My heart can't take it." Zhang Yang took the untouched coffee from Lin Muyan's hand, gave it to the female secretary, and then ordered the other party to order a nutritious breakfast for Lin Muyan.
After entering the office, Lin Muyan took out a document to Zhang Yang, with a bit of complacency on his face: "Let's take a look first, and tell me what you think after reading it." Zhang Yang took the document and looked at it. some film festival.
"Are you going to participate in the exhibition?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise.
"The Sheffield Film Festival is mainly aimed at films that are both artistic and commercial. Our film is quite in line with their theme. I have a friend whose mentor is one of the judges of the film festival. I showed them "Fixed Storm" ", they said it was very interesting and suggested that we give it a try." Lin Mu said. 【Note】
This film festival is a Class A international film festival that has just emerged in recent years, and unlike other film festivals that prefer literary films, the Sheffield Film Festival is aimed at films with both commercial and literary attributes.
"If "The Storm" can be shortlisted for any award, it will be a great boost to the box office when it is released." Lin Muyan said: "I want to give it a try, but you are the biggest producer, so you have to Consider your opinion."
Zhang Yang said: "The meal is here, you can talk after you finish the meal, I'm afraid you'll faint from hunger."
The female secretary came in with breakfast, and Lin Muyan ate it up in 10 minutes, and then spread it on the sofa, looking as if he would fall asleep at any moment.He has said everything that needs to be said, and the task of leaving judgment will be completed by Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang checked the date of the Sheffield Film Festival. After one and a half months, if "The Storm" decides to participate in the exhibition, it may be this week, or next week at the latest.According to the regulations, the films participating in the exhibition cannot be screened publicly, so once the film is shortlisted, regardless of whether it can win an award or not, the release date of "The Storm" will be postponed until after the film festival ends.
In two months, this was too different from Zhang Yang's plan.
After chatting with the old man last time, Zhang Yang changed his plan of joining the headquarters.
He could foresee that once he got to the old man's side step by step, the old man would not be able to help criticizing his private life in a short time.At that time, it was difficult for him to get off the tiger, and it would be much more troublesome to get out.
He planned to join the headquarters in advance, originally to fight Zhang Ji.Now, although he has not officially joined the job, he has already cut off some of Zhang Ji's arms. Even if he keeps the status quo, Zhang Ji will not be able to make any trouble for a while.
The trouble is, it's hard to explain to the old man.
He had used the old man's hand to beat Zhang Ji before, but now that he has achieved his goal, he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. How could the old man give up so easily?
Zhang Yang's original plan was to delay the old man's side first, and wait for the release of "The Storm", as long as the results reach the effect he expected, then next, Shifang Entertainment will become the most potential child in the group. one of the companies.
Shifang Entertainment used to only involve artist brokerage, but in the hands of Zhang Yang, in order to become an independent Shifang Group as soon as possible, he not only participated in the investment and production of movies, but also cooperated with Lu Xun's company on TV programs.Previously, "Multiple Talents" received a good response after it aired. If the box office of "Setting the Storm" does not hit, then Shifang Entertainment's wave of transformation and business expansion will be considered a success.
As long as he has this trump card in his hand, even if the old man is dissatisfied with his change of mind, he won't be so upset.
All of this was originally planned well, but if the release of "The Storm" is postponed, it will hit a Hollywood blockbuster and another famous domestic director's work, which will be a big hit for the box office. shock.
"Where is spring, where is spring..." A children's song rang suddenly in the office, Lin Muyan sat up in shock, took a look at the phone, and turned off the alarm.
Zhang Yang looked at Lin Muyan with a mentally handicapped look, and after a long time, Lin Muyan suddenly remembered the original intention of setting the alarm, and hurriedly opened the live broadcast software on his mobile phone: "Who is Xiao Tong going to broadcast live with today, you don't know? "
This guy was so tired that he was about to die suddenly, and he was still thinking about the live broadcast.
This wave of operations, Zhang Yang was convinced.
Zhang Yang walked to the table, opened the live broadcast page with his laptop, and then asked the female secretary to come in and directly projected the video onto the big screen.Lin Muyan put away his mobile phone, found a pillow to hug with a smirk on his face, and then leaned on the sofa to watch the live broadcast.
The female secretary was quite thoughtful, and she brought in a fruit plate after a while, which can be said to be very considerate.
The live broadcast officially started. In the screen, Qu Xi, Xiao Tong, Li Ran and Yan Xingzhou were sitting at the table, each holding a tablet in his hand.Li Ran gave full play to the host's role, first guiding the other three to greet the fans, and then emphasizing the theme of their live broadcast.
In the screen, behind the four of them is a roll-up poster of "Fixing the Storm". There are no characters in the poster, only the title of the movie that can't be bigger.This is one of the routines of movie promotion. In the early days, only the movie itself was played, and the characters and content were not promoted.
"Before the start, let's guess our lineup first." Li Ran said.
In the office, Lin Muyan guessed solemnly: "Xiao Tong must be an assassin, Qu Xi is a shooter, Yan Xingzhou is meat, and Li Ran is a mage."
"Everyone's guess is quite accurate. Xiao Tong is our mage." Li Ran exaggeratedly raised Xiao Tong's hand and shook it. Xiao Tong smiled indifferently, but it might as well not laugh.
Zhang Yang glanced at Lin Muyan, and Lin Muyan smiled awkwardly: "Mistake."
Then Li Ran introduced their lineup one by one. The shooter is Li Ran, the support is Qu Xi, the assassin is Yan Xingzhou, and the tank is Yan Xingzhou's assistant who didn't show up.
Lin Muyan guessed none of them correctly.
The game officially started, Li Ran was playing the red buff, Qu Xi manipulated Zhuang Zhou in the bottom lane and the opposite lane, and was accidentally hooked by the opponent Bai Qi to the tower.When Qu Xi was in a hurry, he was beaten to death by Bai Qi and Ta together, and he lost his life tragically.
"Ah, it hurts so much to beat someone!" Qu Xi beat his chest and stamped his feet.
"Don't panic." Xiao Tong said lightly.
Li Ran silently stood under the pagoda in the lower road and did not dare to come out of the pagoda. As a result, just as Quxi was resurrected here, Zhen Ji in the middle road was caught and killed by the assassin on the opposite side.Their heads silently became 0:2.
"These two really don't have faces, and they gave away two heads at the beginning." Lin Muyan sighed silently.
Zhang Yang was busy with official duties, and only looked up when Qu Xi was delivering the first blood.
However, at 4 minutes into the game, Yan Xingzhou grabbed and killed the mage on the opposite side, followed by the shooter on the other side. After 4 minutes, the heads of the two sides changed from 0:2 to 7:2, and of course the heads were all on Yan Xingzhou.
This wave of operations by Yan Xingzhou strongly turned the tide of the battle, and Qu Xi and the others directly counterattacked from the weaker side.The first-blooded little prince, Qu Xi, whose mentality had already collapsed before, regained his confidence now, and walked back and forth on the map, thinking that he took the head if he didn't know it.
"This Yan Xingzhou usually looks very serious, but I didn't expect him to be an Internet addict? The assassin is so smooth, he is a master!" Lin Muyan was stunned with a melon in his hand, and almost knelt down to Yan Xingzhou.
Hearing this, Zhang Yang finally silently raised his head and glanced at the screen. On the screen, Quxi and the others had just won a team battle, and they were clapping hands to celebrate.Across Xiao Tong in the middle, Yan Xingzhou met Qu Xi's palms, with an unconcealable smile on his face.
"Hey, this Yan Xingzhou is really not simple. The photos are taken well, the acting is good, he is handsome, and he is so slick in playing games, you say..." Lin Muyan turned to look at Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang stared at the screen with a calm face, followed the other person's line of sight immediately, then raised his eyebrows and closed his mouth.
"For the film festival, you should sign up." Zhang Yang said suddenly.
"Ah? You agreed?" Lin Muyan asked.
Zhang Yang's eyes still fell on the screen. In the screen, Qu Xi and the others had finished a game, and Li Ran was talking about their movie.When Qu Xi and Xiao Tong talked about the movie, their eyes unconsciously revealed a gleam of brilliance. When they were asked how much they would rate the movie, they both smiled at the same time, but did not answer immediately.
"I don't know how much, but it's the highest score in my heart." After Qu Xi said that, he smirked for a long time, and Xiao Tong, who was beside him, also rarely smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Muyan got up and picked up the documents on Zhang Yang's desk, and said, "Then I'm going back. In a few days, you can bring Quxi to my place to see how the film will look. I have to go to the music business." Son, there are a few places that need to be adjusted, if you can't get out, you won't be able to catch up."
During this period of time, Lin Muyan was too tired for the movie.
Zhang Yang told him a few words casually, and he was really worried that he would make him sick from exhaustion.
When the live broadcast ends, it should be close to lunch.Zhang Yang had just finished the conference call when he received a call from Qu Xi. The young man was probably afraid of Zhang Yang's wild thoughts, so he took the initiative to confess: "Mr. Yan left after playing the game, and didn't stay for lunch."
"Do I look like such a stingy person?" Zhang Yang argued with duplicity.
"You don't look like you at all." Qu Xi laughed.
Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and then suddenly remembered something, and said, "The post-editing of the film is almost finished, and I'll take you to see the finished film in a few days."
The boy was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately told Xiao Tong.
Li Ran on the side heard it and hurriedly said: "Call me when you are watching the film. Teacher Yan specifically told you that you want to watch it when the time comes. I will sign up for him in advance."
"Tell Li Ran that I didn't hear the last sentence, hang up." Zhang Yang said and hung up the phone.
The effect of the live broadcast of several people this time was better than any previous one. Because of Yan Xingzhou's participation and the recommendation of the live broadcast platform on key positions on the homepage, the number of viewers occupied the top spot of this week's live broadcast.The subsequent replay hits were also very good, and the number of comments hit a new high on the live broadcast platform.
Yan Xingzhou caused quite a stir in the fan circle because of his ruthless show in the game, which refreshed the fans' impression of him in the past.A group of people shouted that the old cadres in their family had collapsed, and turned into a teenager with Internet addiction!
Yan Xingzhou was very generous, he posted a Weibo with the #电影定风波#tag that day, and circled his other three teammates.Regarding the topic of fans commenting that he is the best-looking and best-acting assassin in history, he just laughed it off and didn't make any response.
"Who is Yan Xingzhou's friendship with?" Lin Muyan was very puzzled by this matter, so he called Zhang Yang and asked, "I remember that Lu Xun and him didn't get that part, did they? Mainly I didn't see him stand for anyone before." Over the stage?"
"You asked so clearly, do you want to visit to thank you?" Zhang Yang said.
"That's not the case. The movie hasn't been released yet. If I make a fuss in the end, I have to go to the door to apologize!" Lin Muyan said hastily.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang felt a little depressed.Yan Xingzhou owed this favor, and he owed it out of nowhere.Qu Xi probably felt a little guilty, and also felt that it was really hard to talk about it, and was afraid that Zhang Yang would get angry, so she really didn't know what to do.
"I'll be careful in the future, try not to be fooled by his appearance, and when it's time to refuse, resolutely refuse, and promise not to owe him favors!" Qu Xi said.
Seeing this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but smiled wryly, "I'm not a vexatious person, so you don't have to be so nervous."
"I don't want to make you unhappy." Qu Xi rubbed his arms around Zhang Yang's neck, and said, "And I quite like seeing you jealous."
Zhang Yang looked down at him, and said meaningfully: "Then...play a game and coax me."
"It's okay..." The boy's ears turned red, and he trotted all the way back to the bedroom.
Zhang Yang followed behind and closed the door, and after a while, a boy's laughter came from inside.
A few days later, the post-production of the film was basically completed, and Lin Muyan organized a small viewing session in his studio.
The people invited this time were all close friends, and the number was very small. Of course, out of politeness, Yan Xingzhou was also invited.Even though Zhang Yang said he didn't like the other party, he was a member of the same circle after all, and he helped promote it for free, so he would not refuse to watch the film.
The duration of this version of the film is 110 minutes, and because it is going to participate in an international film festival, the subtitles are bilingual.Separate versions were also specially cut for the opening and ending credits, in order to match the temperament of the film festival.
During the nearly two hours of watching the movie, no one was distracted or dozed off.Qu Xi even forgot that he played the person on the screen. He was addicted to it several times and felt that he was watching someone else's movie. He even felt that Li Zheng's character in the movie was a little strange.
Because, it's too real.This is an effect that he couldn't feel at all when he was filming, and it is particularly surprising that it is shown in the film.The tone and rhythm of the film have a very strong personal color that belongs to Lin Muyan. When every picture is combined, it is like Lin Muyan rebuilding the world.
"I think this movie should make foreign audiences interested in costume movies again." Yan Xingzhou commented after watching the movie.
The impression of foreign audiences on Chinese ancient costume films probably remains at the highest point in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" many years ago. That martial arts film helped Western audiences to open up their curiosity about this ancient country of China, and the elegant freehand brushwork in the film The sense of picture has become the most important impression of many foreign audiences on Chinese costume martial arts films.
"Setting the Storm" is not considered a traditional martial arts film. According to Lin Muyan's own words, the artistic attainment is not that high.He has a very clear positioning of his films, pursuing a certain artistic level while also having commercial aesthetics.This is also the reason why he insisted on participating in the Sheffield Film Festival, because "The Storm" is too suitable for the requirements and temperament of this film festival.
After watching the film, everyone expressed their opinions, and generally they all agree with the film.
Lin Muyan has long had his own judgment on the film, so he didn't react too much after hearing the praise.
After everyone dispersed, Qu Xi stood in front of the studio window in a daze.
Zhang Yang came over and asked, "What do you think?"
"I suddenly remembered something, and I accidentally forgot it before I had time to say it." The young man came back to his senses, and said again: "If the movie can be shortlisted, can we go abroad?"
"You want to go abroad?" Zhang Yang asked.
The boy smiled: "I'm a little curious, I haven't been out yet."
Zhang Yang was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately felt a little guilty. He hadn't thought of this at all after being with the boy for so long.When he and Yan Xingzhou participated in the show last time, Qu Xi was very interested in the photos taken by Yan Xingzhou.At that time, Zhang Yang was only interested in eating, and he never thought that what the young man was interested in was not Yan Xingzhou, but the colorful world in Yan Xingzhou's photos.
"Regardless of whether the movie will be shortlisted or not, I will take you abroad to see it after I've been busy for a while," Zhang Yang said.
Qu Xi was very excited when he heard the words, but Lin Muyan who was at the side said unhappily: "What do you mean it doesn't matter whether the movie will be shortlisted or not?"
It's not as simple as being shortlisted for his movie, it's about winning an award, right?
On the way home, the boy was still in a state of excitement.Zhang Yang said: "I have no work arrangements for the two days of the weekend. Let's go to a Taoist temple together. Saturday is NO.15 in the lunar calendar."
"Taoist Temple..." Qu Xi suddenly raised his voice, and said, "I remembered what I was thinking when I was in the studio. It's Yan Xingzhou!"
"Miss him?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Do you remember the last time I was on the mountain, I saw a car that looked familiar, it was Yan Xingzhou's car!" Qu Xi said.
Zhang Yang asked, "How did you remember that?"
"He was driving a sedan today, so I was in a daze at the time, but just now I suddenly remembered that when I went to his house last time, there was an off-road vehicle in his garage, and the car was the one we saw last time. That sign!" The boy said excitedly.
The author has something to say: Note: Sheffield is a city in the UK. This film festival is made up and does not exist in reality~~~
Another: In reality, the film release schedule will be relatively long. Here, according to the needs of the plot, it is compressed. Please don’t bring it in~ Memmada~~(* ̄3)(ε ̄*)
Yan Xingzhou still had a calm expression, which made Zhang Yang feel more hostile.
Li Ran's emotional intelligence is often offline, and he doesn't realize the undercurrent between Zhang Yang and Yan Xingzhou. He is still watching the fun and adding fuel to the scene. Hand in hand, maybe we can bring out some interesting topics.
Wasn't the last collaboration the group of photos we took?Although Zhang Yang had to admit that Yan Xingzhou's photos were indeed professional and up to standard, but as a man, it was absolutely impossible for him to let Qu Xi and Yan Xingzhou cooperate for the second time.At least... it's not okay to take pictures.
Zhang Yang had a somewhat indifferent smile on his face, as if he didn't plan to go to work anymore.
Seeing this, Qu Xi pushed Zhang Yang's shoulder and said, "I'll take you to the garage. I'll come up after you leave."
"I'm today..." Zhang Yang wanted to say that he didn't go to work anymore.
"You are very handsome today!" Qu Xi cut off his words, and said to Li Ran and Yan Xingzhou behind him: "I'll see him off, you guys play first."
Seeing Li Ran's silly posture, he seemed to want to say that he would go with Qu Xi to see him off. Yan Xingzhou quickly stopped Li Ran, nodded to Zhang Yang, and the two entered the live broadcast room.
"What's the matter with you?" Qu Xi pushed him to the porch, and whispered, "Why does it seem like you're going to fight all of a sudden?"
"The way Yan Xingzhou looks at you makes me want to beat him up." Zhang Yang said coldly.
The young man covered Zhang Yang's mouth with his hand, and said in a low voice: "This is Li Ran's house, what else can he do to me? Can you be more mature, he is a bit strange, but not necessarily the kind you think Meaning."
"It doesn't work either way," Zhang Yang said.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what you say." Quxi said.
Zhang Yang looked at Qu Xi with no expression on his face.
Qu Xi asked: "Why are you looking at me like that? If you don't go to work, you will be late."
"You want me to leave quickly?" Zhang Yang lost his temper, like a child.
Qu Xi had no choice but to look back at the living room and saw that there was no one in the living room, so he hugged Zhang Yang and coaxed him: "You can go back quickly, you are so busy these days that you don't even have time to accompany me for dinner. Eat, I love you very much, and I don't want you to waste time on this kind of thing."
"No matter what you do on your body, it's not a waste of time." Zhang Yang said.
Qu Xi's heart moved, and he was teased by the other party's words. He couldn't help kissing the corner of Zhang Yang's mouth, and coaxed: "If you don't hurry up and come back late at night, maybe we will have dinner with Teacher Yan ..."
These words really worked. Although Zhang Yang still looked reluctant, he still left decisively.
On the other hand, Qu Xi had a smile on his face. In fact, he really liked Zhang Yang's occasional jealousy for him.
The little jealousy between the two based on mutual trust is actually quite affectionate/interesting.
At least Qu Xi thinks so.
In the live broadcast room, the live broadcast equipment has been debugged.The platform that invited Quxi to live broadcast before also cooperates with Lu Xun's company, so it is very convenient to communicate, and many details do not need to be explained too much, which saves a lot of energy.
Lu Xun projected the four people's equipment screens to the director station, and connected three cameras at the same time, so that they can switch between the live screen and the game screen when they are playing games.Because Yan Xingzhou's assistants did not come, they only participated online, so there were only Qu Xi, Xiao Tong, Li Ran and Yan Xingzhou in the live broadcast.
When Quxi was preparing for the live broadcast, Zhang Yang had already arrived downstairs in the company.
Just after Lin Muyan bought coffee from the coffee shop downstairs, he happened to meet Zhang Yang, so he shared a cup of coffee with him.
"Who did you buy this cup for?" Zhang Yang took it and asked.
"Can't I drink it by myself?" Lin Muyan rubbed his eyes, the red blood in his eyes was very obvious: "These days I've been staring at the late stage and I'm almost blind. I feel like I can fall asleep after 5 minutes without coffee."
Zhang Yang glanced at him, and said, "Isn't the release date not yet knocked out? Are you afraid of sudden death if you work so hard?"
"I'm here today to tell you about this." When the elevator arrived, the two of them came out together. Lin Muyan yawned and said, "Go to your office and tell me, ask your assistant to help me order breakfast. I just forgot it downstairs." purchase."
"Don't drink coffee on an empty stomach. My heart can't take it." Zhang Yang took the untouched coffee from Lin Muyan's hand, gave it to the female secretary, and then ordered the other party to order a nutritious breakfast for Lin Muyan.

In the screen, Qu Xi, Xiao Tong, Li Ran and Yan Xingzhou were sitting at the table, each holding a tablet in his hand.Li Ran gave full play to the host's role, first guiding the other three to greet the fans, and then emphasizing the theme of their live broadcast.
In the screen, behind the four of them is a roll-up poster of "Fixing the Storm". There are no characters in the poster, only the title of the movie that can't be bigger.This is one of the routines of movie promotion. In the early days, only the movie itself was played, and the characters and content were not promoted.
"Before the start, let's guess our lineup first." Li Ran said.
In the office, Lin Muyan guessed solemnly: "Xiao Tong must be an assassin, Qu Xi is a shooter, Yan Xingzhou is meat, and Li Ran is a mage."
"Everyone's guess is quite accurate. Xiao Tong is our mage." Li Ran exaggeratedly raised Xiao Tong's hand and shook it. Xiao Tong smiled indifferently, but it might as well not laugh.
Zhang Yang glanced at Lin Muyan, and Lin Muyan smiled awkwardly: "Mistake."
Then Li Ran introduced their lineup one by one. The shooter is Li Ran, the support is Qu Xi, the assassin is Yan Xingzhou, and the tank is Yan Xingzhou's assistant who didn't show up.
Lin Muyan guessed none of them correctly.
The game officially started, Li Ran was playing the red buff, Qu Xi manipulated Zhuang Zhou in the bottom lane and the opposite lane, and was accidentally hooked by the opponent Bai Qi to the tower.When Qu Xi was in a hurry, he was beaten to death by Bai Qi and Ta together, and he lost his life tragically.
"Ah, it hurts so much to beat someone!" Qu Xi beat his chest and stamped his feet.
"Don't panic." Xiao Tong said lightly.
Li Ran silently stood under the pagoda in the lower road and did not dare to come out of the pagoda. As a result, just as Quxi was resurrected here, Zhen Ji in the middle road was caught and killed by the assassin on the opposite side.Their heads silently became 0:2.
"These two really don't have faces, and they gave away two heads at the beginning." Lin Muyan sighed silently.
Zhang Yang was busy with official duties, and only looked up when Qu Xi was delivering the first blood.
However, at 4 minutes into the game, Yan Xingzhou grabbed and killed the mage on the opposite side, followed by the shooter on the other side. After 4 minutes, the heads of the two sides changed from 0:2 to 7:2, and of course the heads were all on Yan Xingzhou.
This wave of operations by Yan Xingzhou strongly turned the tide of the battle, and Qu Xi and the others directly counterattacked from the weaker side.The first-blooded little prince, Qu Xi, whose mentality had already collapsed before, regained his confidence now, and walked back and forth on the map, thinking that he took the head if he didn't know it.
"This Yan Xingzhou usually looks very serious, but I didn't expect him to be an Internet addict? The assassin is so smooth, he is a master!" Lin Muyan was stunned with a melon in his hand, and almost knelt down to Yan Xingzhou.
Hearing this, Zhang Yang finally silently raised his head and glanced at the screen. On the screen, Quxi and the others had just won a team battle, and they were clapping hands to celebrate.Across Xiao Tong in the middle, Yan Xingzhou met Qu Xi's palms, with an unconcealable smile on his face.
"Hey, this Yan Xingzhou is really not simple. The photos are taken well, the acting is good, he is handsome, and he is so slick in playing games, you say..." Lin Muyan turned to look at Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang stared at the screen with a calm face, followed the other person's line of sight immediately, then raised his eyebrows and closed his mouth.
"For the film festival, you should sign up." Zhang Yang said suddenly.
"Ah? You agreed?" Lin Muyan asked.
Zhang Yang's eyes still fell on the screen. In the screen, Qu Xi and the others had finished a game, and Li Ran was talking about their movie.When Qu Xi and Xiao Tong talked about the movie, their eyes unconsciously revealed a gleam of brilliance. When they were asked how much they would rate the movie, they both smiled at the same time, but did not answer immediately.
"I don't know how much, but it's the highest score in my heart." After Qu Xi said that, he smirked for a long time, and Xiao Tong, who was beside him, also rarely smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Muyan got up and picked up the documents on Zhang Yang's desk, and said, "Then I'm going back. In a few days, you can bring Quxi to my place to see how the film will look. I have to go to the music business." Son, there are a few places that need to be adjusted, if you can't get out, you won't be able to catch up."
During this period of time, Lin Muyan was too tired for the movie.
Zhang Yang told him a few words casually, and he was really worried that he would make him sick from exhaustion.
When the live broadcast ends, it should be close to lunch.Zhang Yang had just finished the conference call when he received a call from Qu Xi. The young man was probably afraid of Zhang Yang's wild thoughts, so he took the initiative to confess: "Mr. Yan left after playing the game, and didn't stay for lunch."
"Do I look like such a stingy person?" Zhang Yang argued with duplicity.
"You don't look like you at all." Qu Xi laughed.
Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and then suddenly remembered something, and said, "The post-editing of the film is almost finished, and I'll take you to see the finished film in a few days."
The boy was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately told Xiao Tong.
Li Ran on the side heard it and hurriedly said: "Call me when you are watching the film. Teacher Yan specifically told you that you want to watch it when the time comes. I will sign up for him in advance."
"Tell Li Ran that I didn't hear the last sentence, hang up." Zhang Yang said and hung up the phone.
The effect of the live broadcast of several people this time was better than any previous one. Because of Yan Xingzhou's participation and the recommendation of the live broadcast platform on key positions on the homepage, the number of viewers occupied the top spot of this week's live broadcast.The subsequent replay hits were also very good, and the number of comments hit a new high on the live broadcast platform.
Yan Xingzhou caused quite a stir in the fan circle because of his ruthless show in the game, which refreshed the fans' impression of him in the past.A group of people shouted that the old cadres in their family had collapsed, and turned into a teenager with Internet addiction!
Yan Xingzhou was very generous, he posted a Weibo with the #电影定风波#tag that day, and circled his other three teammates.Regarding the topic of fans commenting that he is the best-looking and best-acting assassin in history, he just laughed it off and didn't make any response.
"Who is Yan Xingzhou's friendship with?" Lin Muyan was very puzzled by this matter, so he called Zhang Yang and asked, "I remember that Lu Xun and him didn't get that part, did they? Mainly I didn't see him stand for anyone before." Over the stage?"
"You asked so clearly, do you want to visit to thank you?" Zhang Yang said.
"That's not the case. The movie hasn't been released yet. If I make a fuss in the end, I have to go to the door to apologize!" Lin Muyan said hastily.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang felt a little depressed.Yan Xingzhou owed this favor, and he owed it out of nowhere.Qu Xi probably felt a little guilty, and also felt that it was really hard to talk about it, and was afraid that Zhang Yang would get angry, so she really didn't know what to do.
"I'll be careful in the future, try not to be fooled by his appearance, and when it's time to refuse, resolutely refuse, and promise not to owe him favors!" Qu Xi said.
Seeing this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but smiled wryly, "I'm not a vexatious person, so you don't have to be so nervous."
"I don't want to make you unhappy." Qu Xi rubbed his arms around Zhang Yang's neck, and said, "And I quite like seeing you jealous."
Zhang Yang looked down at him, and said meaningfully: "Then...play a game and coax me."
"It's okay..." The boy's ears turned red, and he trotted all the way back to the bedroom.
Zhang Yang followed behind and closed the door, and after a while, a boy's laughter came from inside.
A few days later, the post-production of the film was basically completed, and Lin Muyan organized a small viewing session in his studio.
The people invited this time were all close friends, and the number was very small. Of course, out of politeness, Yan Xingzhou was also invited.Even though Zhang Yang said he didn't like the other party, he was a member of the same circle after all, and he helped promote it for free, so he would not refuse to watch the film.
The duration of this version of the film is 110 minutes, and because it is going to participate in an international film festival, the subtitles are bilingual.Separate versions were also specially cut for the opening and ending credits, in order to match the temperament of the film festival.
During the nearly two hours of watching the movie, no one was distracted or dozed off.Qu Xi even forgot that he played the person on the screen. He was addicted to it several times and felt that he was watching someone else's movie. He even felt that Li Zheng's character in the movie was a little strange.
Because, it's too real.This is an effect that he couldn't feel at all when he was filming, and it is particularly surprising that it is shown in the film.The tone and rhythm of the film have a very strong personal color that belongs to Lin Muyan. When every picture is combined, it is like Lin Muyan rebuilding the world.
"I think this movie should make foreign audiences interested in costume movies again." Yan Xingzhou commented after watching the movie.
The impression of foreign audiences on Chinese ancient costume films probably remains at the highest point in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" many years ago. That martial arts film helped Western audiences to open up their curiosity about this ancient country of China, and the elegant freehand brushwork in the film The sense of picture has become the most important impression of many foreign audiences on Chinese costume martial arts films.
"Setting the Storm" is not considered a traditional martial arts film. According to Lin Muyan's own words, the artistic attainment is not that high.He has a very clear positioning of his films, pursuing a certain artistic level while also having commercial aesthetics.This is also the reason why he insisted on participating in the Sheffield Film Festival, because "The Storm" is too suitable for the requirements and temperament of this film festival.
After watching the film, everyone expressed their opinions, and generally they all agree with the film.
Lin Muyan has long had his own judgment on the film, so he didn't react too much after hearing the praise.
After everyone dispersed, Qu Xi stood in front of the studio window in a daze.
Zhang Yang came over and asked, "What do you think?"
"I suddenly remembered something, and I accidentally forgot it before I had time to say it." The young man came back to his senses, and said again: "If the movie can be shortlisted, can we go abroad?"
"You want to go abroad?" Zhang Yang asked.
The boy smiled: "I'm a little curious, I haven't been out yet."
Zhang Yang was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately felt a little guilty. He hadn't thought of this at all after being with the boy for so long.When he and Yan Xingzhou participated in the show last time, Qu Xi was very interested in the photos taken by Yan Xingzhou.At that time, Zhang Yang was only interested in eating, and he never thought that what the young man was interested in was not Yan Xingzhou, but the colorful world in Yan Xingzhou's photos.
"Regardless of whether the movie will be shortlisted or not, I will take you abroad to see it after I've been busy for a while," Zhang Yang said.
Qu Xi was very excited when he heard the words, but Lin Muyan who was at the side said unhappily: "What do you mean it doesn't matter whether the movie will be shortlisted or not?"
It's not as simple as being shortlisted for his movie, it's about winning an award, right?
On the way home, the boy was still in a state of excitement.Zhang Yang said: "I have no work arrangements for the two days of the weekend. Let's go to a Taoist temple together. Saturday is NO.15 in the lunar calendar."
"Taoist Temple..." Qu Xi suddenly raised his voice, and said, "I remembered what I was thinking when I was in the studio. It's Yan Xingzhou!"
"Miss him?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Do you remember the last time I was on the mountain, I saw a car that looked familiar, it was Yan Xingzhou's car!" Qu Xi said.
Zhang Yang asked, "How did you remember that?"
"He was driving a sedan today, so I was in a daze at the time, but just now I suddenly remembered that when I went to his house last time, there was an off-road vehicle in his garage, and the car was the one we saw last time. That sign!" The boy said excitedly.
The author has something to say: Note: Sheffield is a city in the UK. This film festival is made up and does not exist in reality~~~
Another: In reality, the film release schedule will be relatively long. Here, according to the needs of the plot, it is compressed. Please don’t bring it in~ Memmada~~(* ̄3)(ε ̄*)
