Disaster Artist

Things, everything happened so fast—

In fact, only thirty-six hours have passed since "City of Falling Stars" landed on the Lanxia stage to when Seka came from behind and used his big move.

Going back a little further, the Blue Summer Film Festival broke the news that there was an alternate shortlisted work in the main competition that attracted all attention, that is, three weeks ago.

The turbulent undercurrent is changing rapidly.

Moreover, it is just the beginning of the awards season, and most of the competitors are in the wait-and-see stage, and neither one nor two are in a hurry to make a move; as time goes on, the swords and swords of the awards season will become more frequent, denser, and more intense. It is getting more and more intense, and the excitement has just begun.

Because of this, decisions may need to be improvised from moment to moment, so they need to be cautious and listen to each other.

Lu Qian was talking, Yu Shao listened attentively, listening very carefully.

Then, Yu Shao raised his head and looked at Lu Qian with a smile in his eyes.

"Director, you just don't want to go to Seka, do you?"

Lu Qian paused slightly, touched his chin, "Is it so obvious?"

Yu Shao also didn't expect that Lu Qian would admit it so simply, and couldn't help laughing, "Director, it's rare to see you look like such a rascal."

Lu Qian raised his eyebrows lightly, "Rogue? Brother Yu, this is called being honest, understand? Be honest."

"Haha." Yu Shao laughed even more cheerfully. Since Lu Qian was still in the mood to joke, it meant that he shouldn't be really tired today.

Slightly restraining his smile, Yu Shao continued, "Director, I know, you still worry about the post-production work of the film, which is the top priority."

"Of course, I agree."

"Although I don't know about those professional jobs, I can't understand the director's pursuit. In my opinion, the movie is already perfect, and the audience agrees with me; but I know the director, and the director will never let it go. Since If you think post-production isn’t over, it’s not over.”

"So, the most important thing now is to complete the post-production as soon as possible, and look forward to the director being able to produce a work that he is satisfied with."

The reason Lu Qian just said is valid, but the argument is not rigorous. In fact, in the final analysis, it is Lu Qian who resists going to Seka. Even now in Lanxia, ​​he is always concerned about the end The post-production of the film is the only thing he cares about.

It has to be said that Yu Shao knows Lu Qian well, and he can see Lu Qian's true thoughts at a glance.

Yu Shao was a little helpless about this, but at the same time, he also admitted that this is Lu Qian's charm, a kind of professionalism, and a kind of purity.

Similarly, Yu Shao also thought about this matter—

"Director, I have also considered your concerns, and I fully understand them. You should trust me. I am your manager. I will definitely consider your interests first."

"Ah, are you sure? If you don't tell me, I'll forget about it." Lu Qian raised his jaw slightly, his face serious.

Yu Shao: …

At this moment, the role Yu Shao is playing is not so much a manager, but a producer—

Ji Xu and Xiu Zhongjun did not go to Lan Xia, but went directly to Seka.

Not to promote "Starfall", but to go to Seka's distribution market to find suitable works for Blue Whale Pictures and Echo.

Yu Shao's face was full of innocence, "Director, Mr. Ji forced me to do all of this."

Lu Qian nodded slightly, "I know."

Yu Shao: …

"Ahem." Yu Shao rubbed his nose, averted his eyes for a while, and then changed the subject, "I just said that I understand what the director means."

"In the final analysis, an excellent work is the most important thing, and I will try my best to ensure that the director can devote himself to his work without distraction."

"If the director is willing, in fact, we only need to adjust the itinerary for four days."

"Strictly speaking, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are originally the itinerary in the plan. Now we only need to adjust the next two days, stay in Seka for 48 hours, attend two meeting meetings, and then meet with President Ji and President Xiu for a reception. That's all, and the director doesn't need to worry about the follow-up."

"Then, the director can return to Lanchuan and start working."

Yu Shao is well aware of Lu Qian's worries and considerations, so when adjusting the itinerary, he also tried his best to find a balance between different needs.

After finishing speaking, Yu Shao looked at Lu Qian, but Lu Qian didn't speak, and sat quietly on the spot, seemingly lost in thought.

Silence spread in the air, obviously nothing happened, but it made people feel uneasy.

Yu Shao tried to open his mouth to say something again, but when he saw Lu Qian's eyes, he swallowed his words, as if saying anything else was superfluous.

Until Lu Qian broke the calm, "Brother Yu." Seeing Yu Shao raised his head, "I swear, I really don't eat people."

Yu Shao was dumbfounded.

In an instant, all the tense atmosphere melted away like this, and then a smile could be seen on Lu Qian's brow, "Is this your idea, or Student Ji's idea?"

Yu Shao smiled, "My idea."

Of course, he could put the blame on Ji Xu, but in front of Lu Qian, he felt that he had to tell the truth.

"Originally, I didn't have any special ideas, but after the film won so many praises in Lanxia, ​​I sincerely hope that the director can go to Seca."

"I hope the director feels the cheers and applause from the audience, and I hope the director feels the enthusiasm and praise from the reporters."

"At that time, when the director was preparing the film, no one was optimistic about it. One or two fell into trouble, wishing to curse the director's career to be ruined here, and then they stood on top of themselves and pointed out the country, telling the director that he should do this and not that. Do, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is arrogant and rude."

"But what do they know? Nothing at all."

"No one knows what the director has gone through, no one tries to understand the director's thoughts, and no one knows how much pressure the director has endured for the entire crew. They may even forget what they said lightly, but when it falls on the crew, they are still It's a big mountain, and it's hard to breathe."

"Now, I am very, very much looking forward to their faces after appreciating this work on the big screen and being surrounded by applause and cheers from the audience."

Lu Qian, a little surprised—

He rarely saw Yu Shao lose his composure, but at this moment, in those broken and messy words, he could deeply feel Yu Shao's turbulent emotions.

Everyone thinks that in the past six months, Lu Qian has been under tremendous pressure; in fact, the entire crew and the friends around Lu Qian are also under unimaginable pressure. Behind the success of "City of Falling Stars", It is absolutely impossible to rely on Lu Qian alone.

On that side, Yu Shao didn't regret it, and finally, finally, he vomited quickly, pouring out all his thoughts—

People only see Lu Qian's brilliance, but they never and don't want to care about Lu Qian's dedication and persistence behind every success.

He complained about Lu Qian.

"Director, I am sincere. Apart from those plans and layouts, I also hope that you can go to Seka, not only for the applause and flowers, but also to give yourself a chance, and those audiences who really like movies and love movies. Enjoy the movie together."

"After all, this is a work written for movies and dreams, isn't it?"

Occasionally, very, very occasionally, they need to be willful and passionate.

Then, Lu Qian nodded slightly, "Okay."
