Chen Fei 'er joining "A Chinese Ghost Story" was undoubtedly good news for the crew.
By now, even the handymen and logistics workers in the crew knew the background of Lu Chen, the film's investor and male lead. They also knew how popular he was in the mainland.
For a movie, the popularity of the lead was undoubtedly a guarantee of the box office. Take Hong Kong's movies for example. Liu Gangsheng had made several bad movies, but these bad movies still sold well because fans were willing to support them.
Now that another Heavenly Queen level female star has joined the cast, the local box office of Hong Kong is unpredictable, but it is estimated that the big market in the mainland will not be bad. It should be known that Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er are the famous golden couple partner in the mainland entertainment industry.
For these crew members, being able to participate in the production of a popular movie, regardless of the specific remuneration, the qualifications alone were very precious, and their voices in the circle would be much louder.
What's more, Lu Chen had generously taken out 10% of the box office profits as a bonus.
The morale of the crew instantly reached the maximum!
A new shooting plan was quickly brought out. The stylists and makeup artists of Jiayang Pictures worked overnight to redesign the image of Grandma Tree and create it perfectly on Chen Fei 'er.
The new boss combined Chen Fei 'er's own characteristics. She was beautiful and enchanting with a hint of ruthlessness. Her heavy gold makeup and gorgeous clothes formed a sharp contrast with Nie Xiaoqian, who was as pure as water in a white dress.
In Lu Chen's opinion, Chen Fei 'er's role as Grandma Tree was undoubtedly more attractive than the classic character in the original version in his memory, whether it was in terms of image or temperament. It could be said that it was full of highlights.
Chen Fei 'er also felt good. After finishing the makeup, he specially asked his assistant to take a photo of himself and asked the crew's art designers to slightly retouch it before posting it on his blog.
The content of the blog post was very simple: [What do you think of my character in "A Chinese Ghost Story"?]
This informal makeup photo appeared on Chen Fei 'er's blog and immediately attracted the attention of countless fans.
Some were surprised, screaming, complaining, asking … The number of clicks and comments flooded the page.
"Ahhh! What am I doing? "
"A Chinese Ghost Story? Isn't it the movie I shot in Xiangjiang this morning? I, Fei, am going to be a guest star too? "
"This is too demonic! I can't believe this is my Fei! "
"This can't be the female lead, right? I've read Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, and Nie Xiaoqian wouldn't look like this! "
"It's time to guess the riddle. May I know who Fei is playing?"
Someone guessed correctly. "Could it be the antagonist Tree Demon? No way! "
Chen Fei'er posted a photo of himself without giving any explanation. He left the fans with countless puzzles.
Actually, this was a very clever marketing method. It deliberately left everyone in suspense and let the fans discuss it. Invisibly, it would promote the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Of course, only a big shot like her, who had tens of millions of fans on her blog, could play this game well. Otherwise, if she was not popular and only had zombie fans, the number of comments would be very few. She would only be asking to be humiliated.
As Chen Fei'er's vacation time was limited, in the following days, the entire crew would film around her and finish all the scenes involving her first.
At this time, it showed the maturity and strength of the Xiangjiang film industry.
Probably in order to make up for their previous mistakes, Jiayang Pictures had sent all their elites over, increasing the number of people in the crew to more than 150. In several important parts, they had also hired professional experts in the industry.
They were nervous but orderly, busy but not chaotic. With the cooperation of Chen Wenqiang and the director of Jiayang Pictures, the entire crew was like a tightly wound machine, working against time.
During the most prosperous period of the Xiangjiang film industry, many film companies shot low-budget movies. They could produce a new film in a few weeks. Although there were many shoddy productions, the efficiency was undoubtedly very high.
Although the current Xiangjiang movies were already declining, this kind of efficiency had been continued. Except for a few directors who were very individualistic, most of the Xiangjiang directors were experts in making movies with high efficiency.
The characteristics of the directors affected the crew, and even the professionals in the Xiangjiang industry were used to working overtime.
Everyone worked together to make up for the lost time.
Lu Chen was also very busy. Not only did he have to work on the crew, but he also had a lot of things to do outside the crew.
For example, attending Jiang Chenghua's apology banquet.
The third young master of the Jiang family and the boss of Honghua held a banquet at the famous Genting Hotel in Xiangjiang. He invited Liu Zhenghao, a senior in the circle, to act as a mediator and Zhou Yi as a witness. It could be said that he had given enough face.
According to the words of the circle, Jiang Chenghua almost kowtowed to the ground.
Therefore, Lu Chen must attend in person. Otherwise, it would mean that he would fight to the death with the other party, which was more ruthless than slapping his face.
Of course, he would not attend the banquet alone. Li Mubai, his assistant Zhang Xiaofang, and Wan Yong would go with him.
The four of them were neither too many nor too few. If there were too few, they would appear weak. If there were too many, they would appear to lack confidence. Although the apology banquet was not a Hongmen Banquet, there were also many rules.
As for Chen Fei 'er, she was not suitable to attend such a banquet, so Lu Chen did not bring her.
The Genting Hotel was located in the prime area of the Mid-Mountain area, adjacent to the Central Business District. This five-star hotel built in the 1990s used to be one of the tallest buildings in Xiangjiang. The investor invited a famous German designer to design it. Now, it was not inferior to the surrounding high-rise buildings.
When the car arrived at the hotel, Lu Chen got out of the car and entered the lobby. He saw Zhou Yi waiting in the lobby.
He was very surprised. "Boss Zhou, why are you here?"
Zhou Yi said seriously, "I'm waiting for you. We're together. Of course, we have to go up together."
Lu Chen was speechless. "Boss Zhou, you're making me so embarrassed."
He knew that this was Zhou Yi's determination to stand with him.
Lu Chen really admired this Xiangjiang businessman. He could take it easy and let it go. In the face of benefits, he did not care about his face. He was really smooth and slick. No wonder he could build such a big family business from scratch.
Zhou Yi said with a smile, "Actually, I've just arrived, and I'm not familiar with Jiang Chenghua. It's more appropriate for me to wait for you to come."
He keenly noticed Li Mubai standing beside Lu Chen. He asked curiously, "This is?"
Lu Chen briefly introduced him. "This is my friend Li Mubai. He just came from the mainland."
Zhou Yi's eyes suddenly lit up. He took half a step forward and took the initiative to extend his hand to Li Mubai. "Hello, Mr. Li."
Li Mubai smiled faintly and shook hands with him. "Hello, Boss Zhou."
A thoughtful look flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes. He immediately recovered his smile. "Then let's go up."
They took the elevator and went straight to the floor where the banquet was booked.
