Afternoon, unknown restaurant.
Lu Zhiyao, Zhang Zuting, Lin Ruyi, Zhu Xiaoce, Huang Sibo...as well as the screenwriting team, post-production team and other key staff of Feihuang Studio gathered together to enjoy the food and drink while talking.
“So I still think that Mr. Pei’s decision to use all English dubbing from the beginning was definitely far-sighted! Otherwise, how could it be possible to achieve both domestic and overseas box office success? If you look at the blockbusters in recent years, how many of them are overseas? It has grossed over 10 million dollars at the box office!”
“Yes, Mr. Pei definitely gave this film a soul!”
“This film is popular with film critics! At least 50% of all the praises received must be from Mr. Pei."
"Only 50%?"
"I'm sorry, I said less. I’ll give you a drink.”
“Director Zhu, have you brought the trophy?”
“I’ve brought it. Come on, pass it around carefully. If you bump it, Winning one will have to happen next year."
"What you said is wrong, you are so confident, next year? What if you win the Palme d'Or next year?"
"That's right, maybe this will be the last jury award we win at Cannes. We will win the Palme d'Or in the future. This will be so memorable. We must handle it with care!"
"Anyway, I have to thank Mr. Pei! It's a pity that Mr. Pei is busy with work and can't come."
"Everyone, give me a drink to Mr. Pei!"
"Yes, a drink to Mr. Pei!"
Everyone raised their glasses and their faces were a little red. It was obvious that everyone was drunk on a happy occasion.
It’s just that for some reason, this scene feels a bit like a whole village having dinner and drinking.
Lu Zhiyao also rarely drank two drinks and asked Zhu Xiaoce: "Director Zhu, are you preparing for a new film recently?"
Zhu Xiaoce waved his hand: "Don't mention it. I have been put into shock by President Pei, and the entire department has been put on paid leave! However, we just took this opportunity to accumulate inspiration and lay a solid foundation."
"To be honest, I think. For the film "Better Tomorrow", if we were more solid, we might be able to make a better film. It feels like our strength has hindered Mr. Pei's ideas, which is a pity. We have to continue to work hard and strive for the next film. Keep holding Mr. Pei back!"
Lu Zhiyao nodded: "That being said, I think my acting skills are still not proficient enough in some areas, and I still have to work hard with Mr. Pei. When working together, they will think about how to make continuous progress."
Zhang Zuting asked Huang Sibo: "What kind of work is Mr. Pei so busy that he doesn't even have time for a meal?"
Huang Sibo smiled: "Uncle Zhang, don't you know Mr. Pei?"
"He doesn't like to celebrate achievements."
" In fact, Mr. Pei has always been like this, even when he was making games. When the game became popular and made money, everyone celebrated happily. Mr. PeiI immediately start thinking about the next project and never indulge in such complacency. ”
“You really can’t learn this. "
"Of course, besides that, Mr. Pei is also really busy. Look at the projects he has on hand now, such as Internet cafes, takeaways, apartments, gyms, and two games..."
p>
Huang Sibo kept counting, probably because he was drunk and his head was not clear, and he couldn’t count clearly for a long time.
“Anyway, I am really busy. I think if anyone else had started so many projects at the same time, they would have fainted, and the connections between various departments would have been completely messed up. ”
“There is no way to balance both. ”
“But Mr. Pei is different. He can also smooth out the relationship between various departments very well, and can also make many departments cooperate with each other and advance according to their own layout. This is not something ordinary people can do.” of. "
Zhang Zuting nodded: "Indeed. "
"But...Mr. Pei doesn't have time to come for dinner, so he always has time to meet and talk, right? ”
“It’s true that I haven’t seen Mr. Pei for a while. "
"How about we go visit Mr. Pei, ask a few words and then leave without wasting his time? "
Lu Zhiyao nodded: "Okay! But I think there shouldn't be too many people, so as not to affect Mr. Pei's work. "
Zhu Xiaoce said: "The point is... do you know where Mr. Pei is? It seems a little inappropriate to call and ask, right?
Huang Sibo thought for a while: "It's really inappropriate to make a phone call. Mr. Pei will definitely take it seriously when he answers the phone. If he takes the time to see us again, it won't disrupt his original work plan." ? In this way, we will try our luck at the places where Mr. Pei often goes. If we meet him, say hello. If we don't, forget it. "
"Okay! "Lu Zhiyao and others readily agreed.
...
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Tenda Game Department.
Huang Sibo was a little discouraged: "Mr. Pei must return If it's not here, then there's really nothing we can do. ”
After the dinner, they had already gone to the Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University store, the managed gym and Mr. Pei’s office on the 16th floor of Shenhua Luxury View, but Mr. Pei was not there.
In the end, I can only try my luck at Tenda Games. If I don’t see Mr. Pei again, I have to give up.
After all, Tenda has so many departments, and it’s not easy to go to them one by one. Reality.
Everyone walked into the office area of Tenda Games, hoping to see the familiar figure of Mr. Pei here.
At this time, Hu Xianbin was at his work station. He scratched his head anxiously.
Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw several people walking in at the door.
When he looked up, he was instantly shocked.
? Lu Zhiyao? Huang Sibo?
Aren’t these the two actors and directors of "Beautiful Tomorrow"?
Hu Xianbin was so happy that he rushed over to kill Huang Si.Beau's hand was caught.
"Brother Huang! Do you have telepathy? How did you know that I just wanted to contact you?"
Huang Sibo was stunned: "Contact me? Why contact me?"
p>
Hu Xianbin said: "I want you to find Director Zhu and help the actors with their acting skills!"
The four newcomers were all stunned: "Acting skills? What acting skills? Tengda recently Are you filming a movie again?"
Hu Xianbin quickly explained: "It's the acting skills of a motion capture actor! Mr. Pei's new game, "Struggle"!"
As he explained, The script of "Struggle" was pulled out next to it and handed over to Zhang Zuting and Lu Zhiyao.
Zhang Zuting took the script, and his expression became more exaggerated as he read it.
After roughly reading the synopsis of the story on the first two pages, Zhang Zuting slapped his thigh: "Mr. Pei has such a good book, why not make it into a movie? It is hard to say how the box office will be with such a profound subject matter. But I will definitely win a prize!"
Huang Sibo had a different opinion: "Uncle Zhang, this game is divided into two versions, the poor version and the rich version. There should be some special meaning here. Change it. It’s not easy to handle in a movie.”
“What’s so hard to handle? Why not just find a way to blend it together! The subject of exposing the gap between rich and poor has a very high ceiling! "Zhang Zuting still thinks it would be better to make it into a movie.
Zhu Xiaoce smoothed things over: "It's okay, Uncle Zhang. If the game becomes really popular, we can still consider adapting it into a movie. I believe Mr. Pei must have some arrangements."
He transferred He turned his head and looked at Hu Xianbin: "So, you just said you wanted to direct the directing skills? What happened?"
Hu Xianbin said: "I am having a headache about this matter."
"We In this game, all scenes are captured with real-life movements, striving to restore every detail of the actors’ expressions.”
“Furthermore, according to Mr. Pei’s requirements, the art style of our game is relatively exaggerated. , try to highlight the facial features of these characters as much as possible.”
“But in this way, the performance requirements of the actors have also increased, because facial characters require more exaggerated acting skills, and these. Motion capture actors are basically minor actors and have little experience in this area..."
Zhang Zuting immediately understood: "This is easy to say, can I just go and give guidance? I have played many poor people. , I have also played many rich people, and I can also do exaggerated acting. Leave this to me!”
Hu Xianbin said in surprise: “Really? Thank you so much!” It will have an impact on your original itinerary..."
Zhang Zuting waved his hand: "It's okay. Mr. Pei has helped me so much, so I'm just returning the favor to him. I'm just giving you some advice on some acting issues. It's just a little effort. ."
Hu Xianbin was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Zuting couldn't help but smile.
Although I didn’t see Mr. Pei, he helped me by accident, which is not bad!

……
Wednesday, June 22nd.
Jingzhou Old Industrial Zone.
Pei Qian felt an inexplicable feeling of melancholy in his heart when he looked at the Hotel Frightened and the surrounding supporting facilities that were being built at a rapid pace.
The project is progressing too fast!
Pei Qian hoped to build it more slowly, but no one could hear his voice.
Pei Qian has come twice in the past two days, mainly to find out the current situation of the Frightened Hostel and prevent him from being caught off guard.
Only after reading it, I realized that the situation is indeed not very optimistic!
The original Panic Hostel was just a lonely haunted house in an old industrial area, with basically no other supporting facilities around it, making it very inconspicuous.
But now, Mr. Li and other investors are building restaurants and hotels here. Even the square outside has been renovated. Plus the fountain in the center, it looks too similar. That’s what happened!
Although they were all renovated from the original factories in the old industrial area, after everyone cleaned up the surrounding environment, the accumulated construction waste was gone and the lush weeds were gone. In an instant, It became serious.
Although the golden maze was still under intense renovation, it looked the same almost every day. Seeing that various intricate structures had been unveiled, Pei Qian became even more panicked.
Fortunately, there are still a few issues that have not been resolved, such as how to promote this place so that tourists across the country can know about it, how to provide transportation from the urban area to the old industrial area, etc.
Pei Qian walked around the Panic Hostel twice more, planning to escape.
However, just as he was about to leave, he heard a surprising voice.
"Mr. Pei? I know you say you are going to lose money here, but in fact you attach great importance to this place. You can still find time to come and see it even in your busy schedule!"
The corner of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly, and he knew it was Mr. Li without turning around.
I have been coming here secretly for the past two days, just like a thief, because I am afraid that there will be any unnecessary drama when I meet Mr. Li.
In the end, I was afraid that something would happen, but I still encountered it!
Pei Qian sighed silently, turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, good afternoon."
Mr. Li's face was filled with a smile: "Mr. Pei doesn't know that I Did you come here specifically to discuss the promotion of the Terror Hostel today?"
Pei Qian: "?"
Nothing, you have completely misunderstood!
Obviously, Mr. Li and the investors also know that the current state of the Panic Hostel is unprofitable. It is difficult to even maintain daily expenses, let alone recover costs.
Because there is not enough traffic.
For such a large-scale amusement park, it is definitely not enough to rely on local people in Jingzhou. It needs tourists from all over the country and even the world.
But how to promote the Panic Hostel is a problem.
The "Beautiful Jingzhou" feature previously created by Dianping.com will definitely have a certain effect, but it is obviously not enough.
Pei Qian chuckled: "Sorry, Mr. Li, I have to leave first, you can chat slowly."
After saying that, Pei Qian got into the car and drove away at the speed of light.
Li Shi stood there at a loss, a little confused by the elusive Mr. Pei.
But there was nothing I could do. I could only sigh helplessly and silently go back to discuss publicity matters with investors.
