Xiao Yunhai sat on the sofa and looked at Du Hongtai, who had lost a lot of weight. Then, he turned to Lee Hoon and said, "Senior Brother, you guys are too much. How did you guys take care of him? You actually made the director lose so much weight after just one movie. "
Lee Hoon shook his head and smiled bitterly, "In the crew, the director has the highest authority. What can we do? However, you're really good. You really trust us. As an investor, you actually didn't go to the set even once. You're awesome. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "If you don't trust someone, don't use them. If you use someone, don't doubt them. I believe in Director Du and Senior Brother's abilities. This movie will definitely be fine. "
Du Hongtai said, "It's because of this that I can't sleep at night. I'm afraid that I'll fail to live up to your trust in us. No wonder when Director Wu Zixu heard that I was going to shoot 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes', he even looked at me with a trace of pity in his eyes. Now, I finally understand the feeling of having a mountain pressing down on my head all the time. It's too scary. "
"Sigh, it's really not easy to be a director. When the investors don't allow them to buy or shoot in order to save money, the directors can't feel happy. They just wish that they didn't have these annoying investors on their heads. But when the investors really give the directors 100% trust, the directors will feel a little nervous. They're afraid that the movie won't do well and they'll let them down. That's why the pressure comes along. "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "This is because you and Director Wu are upright people. If it were some other directors with bad intentions, I'm afraid that they wouldn't think about shooting a good movie, but would use all kinds of methods to make money for themselves. Of course, I definitely won't cooperate with such a director. "
Du Hongtai nodded and pointed to a CD on the table, "Yunhai, the production of the TV series has been completed. There are a total of 45 episodes. The videotape has been placed in your warehouse. You can take a look at it. How's the quality? "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Director Du, your post-production is quite fast. I remember that we only finished filming at the end of December. "
The filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was very fast. From late August to late December, it only took four months to finish filming. Not including post-production, Xiao Yunhai spent a total of 960 million yuan.
Du Hongtai had called Xiao Yunhai when they were wrapping up filming, hoping that he could attend the party. However, at that time, Xiao Yunhai was filming "Inception", so he did not make it.
The editing, dubbing, and special effects only took more than a month to complete. It had to be said that Du Hongtai's efficiency was very high.
Du Hongtai said with a smile, "I added a lot of special effects in order to create a first-class fighting scene. I originally thought that it would take at least three months to finish. I didn't think that Dream Special Effects would be so amazing. After hearing that this movie was invested in by you, the big boss, they didn't say anything and sent out three special effects teams. They finished it in around twenty days and the quality was even better than I expected. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Dream Special Effects uses the latest special effects technology. Plus, there are thousands of people learning from them. The efficiency is without a doubt. Alright, let's go watch it together. "
The three of them were led to the screening room by the staff.
Xiao Yunhai looked at a few episodes and his face showed a satisfied expression.
A great director was indeed a great director. Du Hongtai's skills were indeed unquestionable.
Compared to "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" could be described as calm and heavy. The graphics were very beautiful. The action design used hard bridge and horse Kung Fu. The momentum was very strong. Plus, there were a lot of special effects in the movie. The fighting scenes were very exciting.
At the same time, the actors' performances were far better than Xiao Yunhai had expected.
His senior brother, Lee Hoon, was the best actor. Needless to say, he played Guo Jing's honest and foolish character to the fullest.
What surprised Xiao Yunhai the most was Huang Meiling. Her performance as Huang Rong was not inferior to Lee Hoon's at all. Her vivid performance almost made him think that she was Weng Meiling from his previous life.
The actors playing Yang Kang and Mu Nianci were Xiao Yunhai's old acquaintances, Qin Yunyi and Dong Piaopiao. Their performances were very good.
Dong Piaopiao seemed to be very talented in acting. After learning and training at the Yenching Film Institute, she played the role of Mu Nianci very well.
Eastern Heretic, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, Northern Beggar and Zhou Botong were all experienced actors. Their acting skills were also very good.
With everyone's wonderful performances, the effect of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" made Xiao Yunhai very satisfied.
Du Hongtai, who had been secretly observing him, saw his expression, and the stone that had been pressing on his heart finally fell to the ground.
Two hours later, the three of them walked out of the screening room.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Director Du, senior brother, it seems that the ratings for our movie will reach at least ten percent."
Indeed, the quality of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was not inferior to "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". With the large number of fans of the novel, it would not be a problem for the ratings to reach ten percent.
Du Hongtai laughed and said, "I hope so."
Lee Hoon asked, "Yunhai, when do you plan to broadcast it on TV?"
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "I'm writing a martial arts novel now. I should be able to finish the manuscript in a few days. If there are no accidents, the novel will be released after the fifteenth of the first lunar month. "
Du Hongtai's eyes lit up and said, "You want to broadcast 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' after your martial arts novel is successful, right?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "No, I want to release the novel as close to the premiere of the TV series as possible. When promoting, I want to put them together as much as possible. In this way, they can play a very good complementary role. "
Lee Hoon smiled and said, "That's a good idea. Don't tell me you wrote this novel because of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "No, I didn't. I just happened to be there at the right time. "
The three of them discussed the promotion for a while more before leaving.
Xiao Yunhai drove to the Film and Television Bureau with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
The Film and Television Bureau did not have holidays. Even if they had to rest, they had to leave enough people to work and not delay work.
Xiao Yunhai did not look for Xiao Yuanyang. Instead, he followed the procedure and went to the audit department.
It would be Chinese New Year in two days, so there was basically no one in the audit department. There was only one staff member there, reading a book alone.
When the staff member saw Xiao Yunhai walk in, he quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, are you here today to have a new work reviewed?"
Not only was Xiao Yunhai a popular person in the Ministry of Culture, but he was also an internationally renowned director. "Infernal Affairs" was still in theaters, but the box office had already broken the nine billion mark. Naturally, the staff member did not dare to neglect such a person.
However, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. He had not heard of Yun Huang's new work. However, looking at the videotape in his bag, it seemed to be a TV series.
The staff member was puzzled.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "A while ago, I invested in a martial arts TV series. It's already completed. So, I hope you can review it as soon as possible. "
"Martial arts TV series?" The staff member's eyes lit up and said, "Mr. Xiao, is it 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' by Director Du Hongtai?"
Xiao Yunhai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, it's that. How did you know? "
The staff member waved the book in his hand and said, "I'm a martial arts fan. How could I not know?"
Xiao Yunhai could not help but laugh. So, the book he was reading was' The Smiling, Proud Wanderer '.
"Do you review movies and TV series during Chinese New Year?"
The staff member nodded and said, "Of course. Don't worry, it'll be done before the fifth of Chinese New Year. Mr. Xiao, can you sign the book for me? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course."
The staff member opened the drawer and took out 'The Legend of Chu Liuxiang', 'Xiao Li's Flying Dagger', and 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'. Together with 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' on the table, he handed them to Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Now I believe that you are indeed a martial arts fan."
Glancing at the work ID on his chest, Xiao Yunhai wrote in 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer', "I wish Mr. Wang Qiang a smooth career! Xiao Yunhai. "
Wang Qiang said happily, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
