Chapter 211 Life is like a heavy burden
After sending Sakai Izumizu away, Ye Zhao waved to another taxi.
Back at the apartment, he hung up the changed coat with a clothes rack, took out the slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on, and gently placed the paper bag on the coffee table in the living room. Ye Zhao turned around and went to the kitchen first, boiled water in an electric kettle to make a cup of hot tea, and sat down on the sofa with the tea cup. He did not drink tea, but used the temperature of the tea cup to warm the cold fingers outside, which were slightly cold.
Afterwards, he put the teacup on the coaster, opened the seal of the paper bag, gently supported his hands, and took the things inside out.
A classical Chianti wine, a few rock music records, a flat box about twenty centimeters long and fifteen centimeters wide. When you open it, you will find a stack of photos. Most of them are landscape photos, various sculptures, as well as photos of churches and other buildings. There are very few portraits. Ye Zhao looked at the photos one by one, as if he was traveling around Europe with these photos.
Halfway through, he found what Sakai Izumizu said, imitating the cover of the Beatles' record outside the recording studio on Abi Road. In the photo, Sakai Izumizu raised his arm with a childish smile on his face. Ye Zhao looked at the photo and couldn't help but smile with him.
...
While Ye Zhao was busy with the concert, on the other hand, the post-production of the movie "I heard that Kirishima is going to retire" that he had been working on for three months was finally completed. Before the official premiere, there was another process that the movie had to go through, which was to hold a trial meeting with only insiders.
In addition to censoring the content of the movie, the so-called preview also has a little bit of a sales conference. The completion of the film production is just the most basic step. If you want it to enter the cinema and meet the audience, you have to rely on the film distribution companies to perform theater distribution.
Although the movie "I heard that Kirishima wants to retire" is a youth film, it is indeed a "restricted" film. Because the movie is interspersed with scenes of zombies eating away humans alive, it is impossible to release it at all ages. As for big film companies like Toho Toei Matsutake Kadokawa, don't always think about getting a bicycle when they are just starting out.
In the end, the one who was responsible for the release of this movie was a company that mainly distributed theaters for low-cost and independent productions. Perhaps because of the more mentality of using this movie to increase its posture (know) and (know) the momentum (know) the movie, Ye Zhao did not have the strong idea of having to make a big box office hit, but only the simple idea that it is victory.
During the production process, this movie was basically affiliated with NTV TV station throughout the whole process. Although this has become less divided in terms of the share, the time and process saved, as well as the experience learned in the production process, is enough to make a sound worthwhile. Because the NTV participation is relatively deep, the TV station also sent someone to the preview meeting.
To be honest, Ye Zhao really has nothing to look forward to about the first movie he participated in the production. Although he was full of energy at the beginning and was not afraid of difficulties and setbacks in the middle, perhaps because of this, he burned all his enthusiasm in the production process. When the finished product was really served on the dining table, he was like a chef who had been a banquet all day in the kitchen. No matter how exquisite the style and taste were, he could not raise his appetite.
So he entered the venue calmly throughout the whole process, politely and politely completed the necessary greetings with several major figures, and then found his seat and waited for the movie to begin screening.
It's just a youth group film. It seems to feel a bit contemptuous with this "just", but in this screening room where the average age of the audience may be over 40 years old, this movie is probably "just" in the eyes of many people. Of course, in addition to "just", they have to evaluate the box office value of this movie with a cold and professional perspective.
The soundtrack was provided by Ye Zhao himself, and the scissors hand in charge of the editing was found by Yukihiko Tsuki. The essence of this movie is editing. The scissors hand level is high. This is a shocking good movie. If the scissors hand level is a mess, the film will be muddy into a pot of porridge. Fortunately, the scissors hand level is online from beginning to end.
"It's beyond imagination." After the movie was over, NTV people came to greet each other and commented.
Ye Zhao's smile was modest and peaceful, "Ti Sang's level is trustworthy."
...
"It's so bad." Ye Zhao stretched out of the screening hall.
"Why do you say such unlucky words?" Takeda Toshi said, "At this time, you should say more energetic words."
"Sorry, I'm just a guy who can't read air so well." Ye Zhao smiled, "But, Sang Takeda understands it, right? Just like a student taking the exam, he is nervous before the exam, but after coming out of the exam room, he will become so lazy and useless. When he gets nervous again, it's time to get the exam."
"When it comes to the exam results, you still have the college exams early next year," Takeda Toshi reminded.
"Yes..." Ye Zhao sighed, "There are four days left to Hibitani Noto's final concert, and the recording of the new single has been put on the agenda. There are also various musical activities at the end of the year. The release of the movie is scheduled for January. You may have to participate in promotion or something. Just thinking about it, I feel that 'life is like carrying a heavy burden'."
"So, 'Don't be impatient'." Takeda Toshiba looked as though he was comforting and reminding, and followed the second half of Tokugawa Ieyasu's famous saying.
"That's right." Ye Zhao said seriously.
"However, I was still very surprised. I didn't expect you to achieve this level." Takeda Toshiba said he wanted to make a movie and the movie was for trial. He praised him like this for the first time in several months, "It really looks decent."
"Although I'm very grateful, I'm just involved in a small part of it." Ye Zhao's mentality was more peaceful than a few months ago. "It's really difficult to actually do it. But the difficulties are the right one. If it can be done so easily, it would be too rude for filmmakers who start from the most basic things and work hard for decades."
"How can I say it? I feel relieved when I hear you say this."
"Safety?"
"Yes. At least you don't have to worry about bankrupting the firm because of inflation, and my job will be stable."
"Hey..." Takeda Sang, isn't it heartbreaking to have a promise?
