Disaster Artist

Xiu Zhongjun was a little helpless.

To a certain extent, when Xiu Zhongjun was facing Lu Qian, he could also feel enormous pressure, which was a kind of aura suppression and invisible influence.

Moreover, Xiu Zhongjun also hopes that Lu Qian can maintain such a professional and authoritative image, which is conducive to company management, and he will even help increase Lu Qian's deterrent.

But it's hard to keep the balance right, it seems like it's too much now, one or two dare not face Lu Qian——

They would rather face the men's doubles of Xiu Zhongjun and Ji Xu than face Lu Qian alone.

So, what to do now?

Xiu Zhongjun turned to look at Ji Xu.

Ji Xu looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but chuckle, "You'd better not act like this in front of the director, otherwise the director will make things worse."

If Lu Qian knew that his image had been demonized, would he be sad?

No, of course not.

Not only will it not, but Lu Qian will deliberately seize the opportunity to play pranks.

At that time, there will be rivers of blood or corpses everywhere, and the results will be similar anyway.

Qu Yushi made up the picture in his mind, assuming that Lu Qian was at the door of the conference room at this time...

"evil."

An aversion to the cold, he couldn't help shivering, goosebumps appeared on his arm frantically, Qu Yushi looked at Ji Xu with a panicked face.

"Mr. Ji, don't joke, be careful what you say."

Everyone nodded.

Ji Xu laughed happily, because the reaction of the group of guys in front of him was so funny, so Lu Qiancai liked to make fun of these people more and more.

But thinking about it, Ji Xu decided not to tell them the secret and continued to eat melons and watch the show, which was fine.

With a slight smile, Ji Xu also looked at Xiu Zhongjun.

"Well, I also think it's an opportunity, maybe, we should add fuel to it."

Qu Yushi was the first to get nervous. As the boss of the distribution department, he and Lu Qian communicated directly on these matters.

"Mr. Ji, then talk to the director."

"The director has already said no to publicity. If we go back on our word now, if we disturb him again, won't we ask for a beating?"

"I heard that the early preparations for 'Deadpool' encountered some difficulties, and the director has been short-tempered recently."

The news is fairly well-informed.

"Deadpool" has not yet started filming, the fundamental reason is that the cost is too low.

But superhero movies are often about explosions, special effects, acrobatics, etc. So how should you control costs?

Having experienced the tempering of works such as "Unfriend" and "Raid", Lu Qian has his own set of methods.

First and foremost is the dress rehearsal.

Before the actual shooting, the tacit understanding is increased through rehearsal, and the error rate in the actual shooting process is minimized.

Does the dress rehearsal cost nothing?

Of course not, the rehearsal also calculates the working hours, the crew also needs to pay the daily cost of the staff, as well as the cost of renting the venue, etc.

The key to rehearsal is to avoid ineffective waste.

For example, during the official shooting, a building needs to be blown up, so the blasting, building, crowd evacuation, cameras, lighting, sound effects, actors, etc., all need to be perfectly coordinated.

One mistake can be a million or even two million.

If you make two mistakes, it may be 5 million or even 7 million - the waste of cost is not accumulated one time at a time, but the more mistakes and the longer the time, the entire expenditure will increase exponentially.

Even in the later stage, including the cost of renting the venue, crew members, etc., staying on the set for one more day may be an expenditure of one million or two million.

"Sword Comes"

Looking at the crew of those superhero movie projects, the shooting cycle is three months and six months, or even longer, and the production cost is also a big stroke of one billion and a half billion.

But "Deadpool" doesn't work.

300 million cost.

If you continue to invest more, because Lu Qian has gained full control, it means that all the increased investment needs to be borne by Blue Whale Pictures.

It's not worth it.

Therefore, the "Deadpool" project has actually been launched. Although it has not been officially filmed, the intensive rehearsal is basically equivalent to shooting——

Every day, the same money is spent, but it is still much better than the official shooting.

Recently, the rehearsal has not been smooth:

The design of the action design, the mirror movement track and the design of the picture composition encountered some difficulties and failed to meet Lu Qian's expectations.

The key is that the rehearsal can't be dragged on for too long, otherwise, you will burn money every day, and as a result, nothing will be shot, which is also not good.

The timing of the rehearsal is also a matter of knowledge.

Therefore, Lu Qian was indeed under enormous pressure, and his temper was a little grumpy. Qu Yushi didn't want to hit the muzzle of a gun.

Ji Xu was not nervous at all, she glanced at Qu Yu and said with a smile.

"It's not impossible for me to call the director, but you have to pay attention. The director will definitely ask, why am I talking about this? How should I answer?"

Qu Yushi:  …

Ji Xu looked at Qu Yu with his mouth open and his face full of astonishment. The corners of his mouth rose a little again. Without saying anything, he took out his phone and dialed the number.

Ji Xu agrees with Xiu Zhongjun's point of view——

When an opportunity arises, they should seize it.

No matter how high the final box office of "The Raid 2" can reach, they should all give it a try. This is indeed an opportunity to change the situation of Blue Whale Pictures.

The phone was quickly connected-

Not by Lu Qian, but by the assistant they arranged for Lu Qian, and because of this, it is much more convenient for them to contact Lu Qian now.

The call was immediately transferred to Lu Qian.

Ji Xu explained the situation in a few words~www.readwn.com~ including the box office of the premiere of "The Raid 2", and could vaguely hear the laughter coming from the telephone receiver.

It seems that Lu Qian is in a good mood?

Soon, Ji Xu hung up the phone, and everyone's eyes gathered, and they couldn't help but get nervous.

Even Xiu Zhongjun was no exception, but he remained calm, "What did the director say?"

"The director said that he would call Tomson and ask Guan Zhou to give a show, but he didn't have time himself." Ji Xu made a brief summary.

A sentence of "no time" is a complete rejection, and there is no room for manoeuvre.

Xiu Zhongjun sighed lightly, since even Ji Xu was unable to convince Lu Qian, it means that this is the final decision.

"Okay, I get it." Xiu Zhongjun nodded without further arguing, and then looked at Qu Yu, "The director will not participate in the promotion, but our promotion strategy should be changed. You guys should be busy in the afternoon and submit a new proposal. Well, we need to seize the moment."

Blue Whale Films went up and down, like a sophisticated instrument, running quickly, each performing their own duties, and everyone contributed to their own jobs.

However.

A full week later, Xiu Zhongjun, Ji Xu and Qu Yushi still appeared in Bo Xi's studio neatly——

The "Deadpool" crew is rehearsing here, and Lu Qian has been immersed in this place all this time, busy in the dark.

Qu Yushi looked at the two of them, moved back quietly, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Please. I think you two leopards should be the pioneers. If I step forward, it will basically be cannon fodder, and it will not work."

Xiu Zhongjun and Ji Xu exchanged glances, and even Xiu Zhongjun had some scalp tingling.
