Chapter 21 What kind of video is this?

"How is this possible, Xia, you know, you are my best friend, how could I show off in front of you?" Kane Johnson argued after drinking the wine in the glass.

Suddenly, Kane put down his wine glass, stared at Xia Shang seriously, and said seriously: "You know Xia, my dream is to be the greatest film producer. Today I finally took the first step, so I want to invite you to celebrate."

"Yeah." After hearing Kane's words, Xia Shang nodded undeniably and suddenly laughed: "Celebration is a good thing, but when I leave today, I will definitely not pay the bill."

At this time, Xia Shang suddenly thought that he used to go out with Kane Johnson, and it seemed that he was the one who took the money. This hateful guy was obviously very rich, but he just didn't have any love.

Kane felt embarrassed when he heard Xia Shang say this, but he quickly changed the subject and asked with a smile: "By the way, Xia, you said you are very busy. What are you busy with? You won't be promoted to the owner of the restaurant."

As a friend of Xia Shang, Kane Johnson naturally knew that Xia Shang’s house had a Chinese restaurant. There are many such restaurants in Los Angeles, especially Chinatown, and many of them are very famous.

"no, no! How is this possible, Kane, you know, my dream is to be a director, and I'm working on it." Xia Shang shook his head and said, he did not hide what he had done at the moment from Kane.

Before this, he did not expect that he would have friends like Kane Johnson who became the owner of a cinema. Kane himself was the owner of a cinema. This was nothing, the key was the network behind him. Since the passage of the "Paramount Act" that shocked the American film industry in 1948, it has not only brought the end of the old Hollywood studio production and the golden age. What is important is that after the Paramount Act, it stipulated that film studios must sell their cinemas, which made cinemas and film distribution companies particularly important. After this case, the screening party can freely choose to screen any film produced by any studio or independent producer.

Since Kane Johnson has become the owner of a cinema, there must be many contact channels for film production or distribution companies behind him, which is exactly what Xia Shang lacks at present.

"Xia, what did you say? You actually made a video, which is still in post-production." Kane looked at Xia Shang in surprise, looking disbelief. He didn't expect that his friend and alumnus he had not seen in several months had already completed a video. How could this be possible?

"Yes, dear Kane, you heard it right. This video has indeed been filmed and is currently in intense post-production. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be completed in one or two days." Xia Shang nodded affirmatively and told his work progress.

"Oh, Xia, can you be possessed by God? It's incredible. What is the name of the film? It was invested by that film company. When will it be released?" After seeing Xia Shang again, although Kane was still a little unbelievable, he still asked the questions he was concerned about. At the same time, he was also happy for Xia Shang. In addition to celebrating with Xia Shang, he also had an idea, which was to invite Xia Shang to work in his cinema, but now it seems that it is unlikely.

After seeing Kane's anxious look, Xia Shang smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry Kane, that's your God. And you asked me so many questions at once, how should I answer you?"

"You know, I really feel curious. As a friend, I will definitely support you. I may not be sure that my cinema can also show you free videos." Kane Johnson shook his head slightly, then sipped the red wine in his glass.

Xia Shang turned his eyes on Kane's words. This kid had a good idea. The free screening of the videos would be good. The fool would know who would be good for him: "Eh, to be precise, I filmed this video alone. His name is "Blair the Witch", which is an adventure, thrilling pseudo-documentary."

"Pseudo-documentary?" Kane couldn't help but frown. The name was very strange to him.

"Yes, it was shot with novel DV recording techniques, so I call it a pseudo-documentary, and the actual cost of this video is less than 50,000 US dollars." Xia Shang explained to Kane.

"50,000 US dollars, how is this possible?" Kane Johnson said in surprise again. In his opinion, when did there have been such a low-cost video? This is not a random shot. Thinking of this, Kane's interest in Xia Shang's filming has greatly reduced.

Attention Kane Johnson's Xia Shang was the first to notice Kane's strangeness, but he did not say it out loud. After all, this is a horrifying thing and no one can believe it. Xia Shang knew that no matter how much language there was at this moment, it would be redundant. Only after seeing the result would it be believed. Xia Shang pondered for a moment and said, "Kane, this is the first film I have shot. After its post-production is completed, we will look for a video distribution company. Maybe I will need your help at that time."

It is a very simple thing to introduce the distribution company to Xia Shang. Although Kane didn't know what Xia Shang's videos were, he still agreed very readily. After all, no matter whether it is good or bad, it would be no loss for him. For the distribution company and Xia Shang, it would not meet the requirements of both parties, which was just a waste of time. Thinking of this, Kane said: "It is naturally no problem to introduce the distribution company to you. Although I just took over this cinema, I still know the contact information of some film company leaders from my father. But Xia, you have to know that as we do, there are not many merchants who have cinemas. Most of them are small film companies or film distribution companies, so..."

Xia Shang understood what Kane meant. He was afraid that he would look down on these small companies and was unwilling to go. In this regard, Xia Shang told Kane directly that he would not pick which company belongs, and as long as both parties were satisfied, there would be no problem. After Kane Johnson knew what Xia Shang meant, he smiled and said that there was no problem, but he needed to watch the video in advance and then make a decision to recommend it to that video company. Xia Shang can understand this. After all, different video production or distribution companies like the types of videos, the cost of the different types.

"By the way, Kane, you called me here today, not just to celebrate you." The two agreed to meet again. After the location, Xia Shang suddenly thought of the purpose of Kane Johnson asking him to come. Is it just to celebrate himself?

"Of course not. I originally wanted to invite you to the cinema to help me, but now...hehe!" Kane smiled at Xia Shang, then picked up the wine glass again, signaling Xia Shang to cheer together.

Although Kane said something unknown, Xia Shang still understood what the other party meant. He must have seen the professional knowledge he had learned and wanted to come to his cinema to help identify the quality and quality of the movie. Although Xia Shang is not an expert in this field, he is still a top student in the Southern California Film and Television Academy. There is still some real material.

However, in the end, Kane himself didn't expect that this would be the case. Thinking of this, Xia Shang couldn't help but feel a sense of joy.
