After the press conference, Xiao Yunhai started the post-production. He found the editor of "Time Gate", Zheng Buguo, and began to edit "Charlotte's Troubles" frame by frame.
Because all the images were stored in Xiao Yunhai's mind, the work efficiency was very high. It only took two days for the editing to be completed.
Xiao Yunhai also did the post-production without stopping, especially the selection of the classic songs. Xiao Yunhai did not completely follow the original version, but changed it according to his own ideas.
After all the post-production work was completed, Xiao Yunhai handed the film to the Film and Television Bureau for review.
As for Zhao Zhen and Wang Wei's "Regret of Youth", the two of them had only started filming for half a month. It was said that the progress was very slow. Moreover, because the two of them often had different opinions, they argued with each other endlessly, which made the crew feel even more at a loss.
After Xiao Yunhai's "Charlotte's Troubles" was completed, Hu Changsheng gathered all the students who had participated in the filming and joined the crew of "Regret of Youth".
After Xiao Yunhai's training, everyone was already good at it. Soon, they became the backbone of the crew, which made the progress of "Regret of Youth" greatly improve.
As the saying goes, people will die if they compare with others, and goods will be thrown away if they compare with others.
On the set of "Charlotte's Troubles," Xiao Yunhai arranged the set in an orderly manner. Everyone was clear on what the students were doing and how they were doing it, so there wouldn't be any messy scenes. When they encountered a problem that couldn't be solved, they just needed to talk to Xiao Yunhai, and it would immediately be solved perfectly.
However, the "Regret of Youth" crew was unusually messy. Many people were like headless flies, flying everywhere, and no one knew what they were doing.
In particular, the filming methods of the two directors were completely different, so the various departments didn't know who to listen to.
It was impossible for a movie to have two styles, right?
Zhang Dabiao, Zhang Xiang, Che Yali, and the others were speechless. Thinking about Xiao Yunhai and looking at the two directors, the difference in directing skills was too big.
Was the school's decision right?
After finishing work on 'Charlotte's Troubles', Xiao Yunhai had a good rest at home. The next morning, he received a call from his future father-in-law.
"Yunhai, come to the company later. A big shot from the Film and Television Bureau came down and said that he has something to discuss with us. "
Xiao Yunhai was stunned. "Uncle, do you know what's going on?"
Zhao Mingsheng said, "I don't know either, but it shouldn't be a bad thing. He's almost here. Come over first. "
After dressing up simply, Xiao Yunhai arrived at Hanhai Film Investment Company.
Under the guidance of a staff member, Xiao Yunhai saw Zhao Mingsheng who was talking to a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was dressed in decent clothes and had slicked-back hair. His face was cold and stern, and he looked high and mighty.
Seeing Xiao Yunhai come in, Zhao Mingsheng said, "Director Peng, this is the scriptwriter and lead investor of 'Step by Step.' He's also the scriptwriter and director of 'Legend of Empresses in the Palace', Xiao Yunhai. Yunhai, this is Deputy Director Peng Ximao from the Film and Television Bureau. "
Xiao Yunhai reached out his hand and smiled. "Director Peng, nice to meet you."
Peng Ximao glanced at him and ignored Xiao Yunhai's hand. He pointed to the seat next to Wang Mingsheng and said, "Don't be so polite. Have a seat."
From his tone, it was as if he was the owner of this place.
Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes. His impression of this Deputy Director Peng Ximao instantly dropped to the bottom. At the same time, he had a trace of doubt in his heart. When did he offend this guy? So arrogant.
Peng Ximao said, "You two are the investors of 'Step by Step' and 'Legend of Empresses in the Palace'. The copyright should be in your hands, right?"
Zhao Mingsheng and Xiao Yunhai looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Peng Ximao continued. "Then I have to congratulate the both of you. Because of the high ratings for your two TV series, you have attracted the attention of Japan, South Korea, and some other Southeast Asian countries. They have applied to import the TV series, and I am here to discuss this matter with the both of you. "
In this world, Hua Xia is a superpower. It is tied with the US in the East and West respectively. The surrounding countries like Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and the Philippines all look up to Hua Xia. They do not dare to show any disrespect to Hua Xia.
The so-called East China Sea and South China Sea issues in Feng Yu's previous life do not exist in this world. Even their country had Huaxia's military stationed there, not to mention these islands in the sea.
On the surface, these countries are independent countries with their own politics, economy, military, and culture. But in reality, they are only subordinate countries of Hua Xia.
Zhao Mingsheng asked. "What does our Film and Television Bureau want to do?"
Peng Ximao replied. "Of course, we will agree to their demands. It will be a great achievement for the Film and Television Bureau if our country's outstanding TV series can be broadcast overseas. That's why the Bureau wants the both of you to reach an agreement and not lose this rare opportunity. Otherwise, it will be hard for the Film and Television Bureau to answer to the Ministry of Culture. "
Xiao Yunhai frowned when he heard what Peng Ximao said. "This Deputy Bureau Chief seems to be here to pressure us. If they couldn't negotiate with that group of people, it would mean that their side had completely lost the initiative during the negotiation. Once they know our bottom line, what's the point of negotiating? We will have to do whatever they say. "
Zhao Mingsheng had also thought of this problem. He frowned but did not say anything.
Peng Ximao stood up and looked at the two of them who were reluctant and said, "You have to treat this matter as a political mission. Don't be too petty. When you do things, you have to consider the long term and the big picture. Alright. I will bring them over in the afternoon. You must treat them with respect. I will go back first. "
Zhao Mingsheng came back to his senses and said, "Bureau Chief Peng, you are a rare guest. Why don't you have lunch here?"
Peng Ximao shook his head. "It's fine. I have to have lunch with the foreigners."
After sending Peng Ximao off, Zhao Mingsheng brought Xiao Yunhai to his office. He asked his secretary to make a pot of tea for him and sat down to discuss the countermeasures.
Xiao Yunhai was not familiar with such matters and asked, "Uncle, in the past when Hua Xia TV series were imported from overseas, did the Film and Television Bureau and even the Ministry of Culture interfere?"
Zhao Mingsheng shook his head and said doubtfully, "No. They are only responsible for reviewing the other party's application. After the application is approved, the other party will negotiate with the copyright owner. There has never been a case of the Film and Television Bureau pressuring any company. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Could it be that Vice Minister Tian's doing again?"
Zhao Mingsheng said, "I don't think so."
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Didn't Deputy Bureau Chief Peng say that if the negotiations are not successful, the Film and Television Bureau will not be able to answer to the Ministry of Culture? Then can't I just ask Deputy Minister Liang directly? If the Ministry of Culture really cares about this matter, then we can only swallow our pride. We have to agree even if we don't want to. But if Deputy Bureau Chief Peng uses the tiger's skin as a banner, then I'm sorry. We can talk about it however we want in the afternoon. "
Zhao Mingsheng said happily, "Can you get in touch with Deputy Minister Liang?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "No. I can't. I'll call Tiger Liang first and ask him to help us pull some strings. I just don't know if that kid has returned to the country or not. "
Xiao Yunhai called Tiger Liang and the other party quickly picked up.
"Brother Xiao, what's the matter?"
When Xiao Yunhai heard Tiger Liang's energetic voice, he laughed and said, "Looks like you've improved quite a bit, kid. Where are you? Why do I hear that it's very chaotic outside? "
Tiger Liang said, "I just got out of Yanjing Airport and was about to go home. Sigh, the past two months have been inhumane. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed. "It's all like that, so there's no need to complain. I'm calling you because I want you to introduce me to your father. I need his help with something. It would be even better if we could have a meal together. "
Tiger Liang patted his chest. "That's not a big deal. Alright, I'll help you ask. Let's try to have lunch together. "
After the two hung up, Zhao Mingsheng asked, "How was it?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "He's contacting his father. There should be news soon."
Sure enough, after a while, Tiger Liang called Xiao Yunhai back. "Done. My dad happens to be free at noon. Where are we going to eat?"
Xiao Yunhai said happily, "That's great. Let's go to Longhai Hotel. I'll pick you up at the Ministry of Culture then. "
Tiger Liang said, "Forget it. That'll affect my dad negatively. We'll go there ourselves."
Xiao Yunhai nodded. "Alright, I'll wait for you there."
Xiao Yunhai hung up and turned to the pleasantly surprised Zhao Mingsheng. "Uncle, it's almost noon. Let's go prepare now."
Zhao Mingsheng said, "Alright, let's go."
