Chapter 16 Filming Completed, Ready for Release!

At this moment, Chen Xiao opened his eyes.

Capone's trembling legs immediately stopped, he stood up obediently, and said anxiously: "Director Chen, I'm sorry, did I disturb you?"

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "No, I have the scene figured out."

He looked at Qiao Sen aside, "Brother Qiao acted very well. The anxiety in his heart and the feeling of calmly dying were all performed."

Hearing him say this, the surrounding atmosphere instantly became lively. Other musicians and actors came over to congratulate Qiao Sen.

"Old Qiao, you acted really well just now."

"Yes, it really feels like we are really going to die heroically."

Chen Xiao stood up and patted Qiao Sen, "Very good, be confident."

He turned around and gestured to the assistant director, "Get ready for the next shot."

Soon the voices of various departments sounded again on the set.

"Focus is given!"

"Recording on!"

"Three shots in 70 games!" the game recorder shouted.

Click! The clapperboard sounded.

The people on the boat were in panic again.

…

Half a month later.

In a cabin, under dim blue light.

The white-haired Ruth sat quietly and narrated:

"I've never mentioned him to anyone so far."

"But now, you know there's a man named Jack Dawson."

"He not only saved my life, he saved my life."

White-haired Ruth's eyes flashed and she lowered her eyes slightly.

"But I don't even have a photo of him. He only lives in my memory."

There was silence in the room.

A few seconds later.

"Pass!"

Chen Xiao raised his head and nodded to Teacher Ge Ya, and continued to discuss the next shot with the assistant director next to him.

Teacher Ge Ya, who is in her 80s, stood up and made a face at the camera.

He seems to be in a pretty good mood.

She walked up to Zeng Wei with trembling steps, glanced at Chen Xiao, and gave a thumbs up.

"Director Xiao Chen is really good!"

Zeng Wei smiled and said: "You were reluctant at first, saying you didn't want to pick up Senior Liu's things. Now you know, you are right to believe me."

Ge Ya covered her mouth and snickered: "That's because she has no vision! When the film comes out, she will probably hate Cai Ji to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the assistant director's voice came.

"Everyone be quiet, get ready!"

On the set, the story of the Titanic was repeated again.

…

Another half month passed.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, it started to drizzle.

Extra performers carried black umbrellas and stood in sheds and boats to take shelter from the rain.

In a photo studio on the shore.

Wen Si was wearing a bath towel, wiping his wet hair while leaning over to look sideways at the monitor in front of Chen Xiao.

Leo was wearing a raincoat and standing on the other side.

The three of them stared at the screen on the monitor.

in the screen.

People holding black umbrellas came and went.

Under the drizzle, Ruth raised her head in the rain and looked at the sky quietly.

A crew member held a black umbrella and came over with a registration book in his hand, "Miss, what is your name?"

Ruth looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Dawson."

She looked to the sky.

"Ruth Dawson."

…

Chen Xiao thought for a moment, then turned to Wens and said, "Do it again. You are still exaggerating."

"Real heartache is not crying and yelling, but extreme peace."

"Ruth is a little paralyzed now and wants to live with Jack's hope."

"You were in good condition when you took the photo when you boarded the lifeboat. Recall it."

Wensi stopped rubbing his hair, thought for a moment and said, "Well, let me experience it again."

"OK." Chen Xiao nodded.

Wen Si turned around and walked to the edge of the tent, looked at the sea in the distance, and fell into deep thought.

Behind her.

Leo pulled up a stool and sat next to Chen Xiao, "Brother Chen, if the money is not enough, Brother Wang said you can add this amount to the basic salary."

He chuckled and stretched out a hand, "Five million! This is definitely better than staying in Jiahe. If you are not satisfied with this number, just raise it and I will discuss it with Mr. Wang."

His play was finished the day before yesterday.

I went to the set these two days to take over Wang Zhan's mission - to recruit Chen Xiao.

Wang Zhan initially offered a 5% box office share, plus a base salary of 10 million.

With a 5% box office share, looking at the entire film industry, it is almost impossible to find a higher director share.

Now the base salary has been increased by 5 million.

Chen Xiaoruo makes three films every year.

The annual salary can reach almost 80 million!

This ranks among the top ten in the entire director world!

Chen Xiao chuckled and shook his head.

The advantage of signing with a company is that it has more resources and more money. The disadvantage is that it is restricted.

With "Titanic" as his debut film, it is impossible for him to lack resources. It’s still comfortable to be a freelance director.

Seeing him shaking his head, Leo sighed.

He also hopes that Chen Xiao will come to Jiahao.

In a company, it’s not bad to get some guidance from time to time.

Li Ao clasped his hands together and put them on his forehead and said: "Brother Chen, please come on! If you come to Jiahe, I will give you the leading role in every drama!"

"You've done a good job with your abacus, so you don't have to worry about running out of opportunities." Chen Xiao joked.

Leo smiled and scratched his head.

Seeing Chen Xiao's determined look, he couldn't say anything else.

Let’s take a long-term approach to inviting Brother Chen.

The two chatted for a while, and then there were footsteps behind them.

"Director Chen, I'm ready." Wensi came over wearing a towel.

"Okay, all departments are ready!"

One umbrella after another was opened under the drizzle.

Under the camera, time went back to a hundred years ago again.

…

Two days later, the filming was all over.

After saying goodbye to all the actors.

Chen Xiao took the post-production team and moved the work place from the studio to the post-production base.

In the office.

Chen Xiao sat in front of the computer, holding his chin, and fell into deep thought.

The next step is post-production, review, and release.

Post-production includes editing, sound processing, color grading, visual effects, film output and quality inspection.

It sounds complicated, but it is not difficult in practice.

During the filming, he had already taken the editing team to make a rough cut and determine the color tone.

Moreover, the team members had worked with him for a month and a half and were very familiar with his ideas, so most of the work could be handed over to them.

He just needed to communicate and check with various departments.

Chen Xiao glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer.

It is now August 3.

Editing for half a month, review for a month, and one and a half months later it will be September 18.

It might as well be released during the National Day holiday!

Chen Xiao looked away, leaned back on his chair, closed his eyes and continued to think.

I was thinking about teamwork just now, and now I have to think about his own tasks.

In the more than one month before the movie was released, in addition to coordinating and checking the teamwork, he had to do two things.

One was the soundtrack, and the other was publicity and release.

Oh, yes, there was also money to be made by selling derivatives. However, the peripheral production was going smoothly. There was no need to be distracted for the time being.

The most urgent thing right now was the soundtrack.

The system gave him the soundtrack.

The problem was, if he wrote out the music score directly, and someone found out that he didn't even know the music symbols, how would it end?

Could he hum a song and say that he was a musical genius and composed it himself?

Nonsense...

Chen Xiao rubbed his head.

It seemed that there was only one way.

Use the emotional value he had accumulated for more than a month to exchange for music creation ability!
