55. Chapter 55, Scene 55: The Dream Comes True!

"Okay, the shooting is over~!" After Li Xiaole watched all the shots behind the camera to make sure there were no mistakes, he stood up and clapped his hands to the entire crew who were looking at him, announcing that the last scene was passed perfectly. He was already exhausted.

Everyone roared and cheered, sounding both excited and reluctant.

During the wrapping ceremony in the afternoon, Li Xiaole asked every actor from him down to Ha Ji-won to shake hands with all the staff one by one and thank them. Everyone should say each other's names and say: "Teacher so-and-so, thank you.

You." Then shake hands for no less than ten seconds.

Those young actors like Jo Hyun Jae didn't understand it at first. As they talked, they were still muttering in their hearts: Damn it, isn't this pure formalism? It's a waste of time. Why is no one thanking us for working so hard...



But when Zhao Xianzai and the others shook Lao Xu's hands, their expressions instantly changed. There were thick calluses on the palms, the cuts on the back of the lighting engineer Lao Zheng's hands caused by wiring, and the hand of Xiao Jin, who was in charge of sound reception, holding up the microphone.

The layers of skin that had been peeled off by the sun shocked them deeply...

They suddenly understood that in this movie, for a month, the real suffering people will always stay outside the camera. No matter whether the movie is successful or not, there will always be more or less audiences who will like the actors and give them support.

But who knows who the photographer and lighting engineer are?

Zhao Xianjae and others slowly and completely understood their ignorance. Every time they thanked someone behind the scenes, they bowed at a lower angle. They even began to feel that they were not worthy of letting these people stand behind the scenes to support them.

They might not have been born when Lao Xu and the others started carrying cameras. Such seniors could only stand behind him. If he had known better, he would have used more energy and used more strength...

Lao Xu had never been treated like this before. He was a little annoyed at first, but by the end, his nose was sore and he took the initiative to walk to Li Xiaole and patted him on the shoulder.

"Director Li, the filming was great. It's great that you let me join the crew. I haven't had this much fun in a long time."

"Uncle Xu, thank you for your help. It's all because of your acting that we are where we are today." Li Xiaole didn't waste any words. He gave Lao Xu a big hug with a smile and circled around him, making Lao Xu blush and curse:

"You kid~! Don't be as big as me."

During this simple shutdown ceremony, everyone saw Li Xiaole smiling. Only Lei Ting thought he was a little strange, so she came over and asked him strangely: "Is it my imagination? I feel you are in a bad mood..."

"Sister Tingting, you understand, I just can't let you go..." Li Xiaole pretended to smile and wiped the camera he borrowed from school with a rag. He reluctantly turned off the switch. When the red light of the lens went out, he suddenly felt

A moment of loss...

Yes, the filming is over. This dream that belongs to me is over. Although I am very tired and have done a lot of nerve-wracking things, I really feel that it is so fucking interesting~! This is what I want to do.

!I really hope this time can be longer...

After cleaning up everything, it was already past 7 p.m. Li Xiaole organized the entire crew to hold a barbecue celebration party on the reading lawn west of Dankook University.

This is the most humane place in Dankook. Every Saturday night, students can hold barbecues on the reading lawn here.

When the tired guys saw that the group of students from the student union carried out buckets of Korean beef slices, ginseng chicken wings, and more than ten boxes of soju ingredients, everyone was shocked. This is too fucking generous.

~!!

Another group of radical students nearby were holding a sign that read "Protest against Junichiro Koizumi's visit to the Yasukuni Shrine." They were also holding a collective barbecue. They were roasting sweet potatoes, corn, etc. When they saw the beef in barrels, their eyes almost popped out.

Already.

"Dang~~~dang~~dang~~"

Li Xiaole stood up from the grass first, knocked on the wine glass, pointed at everyone with a smile and threatened: "I said, usually you always complain behind your back that the crew eats in the school cafeteria every day, and your tongue is like a bird after eating, I will give it to you today

Eat meat until you vomit. I’m talking about you, Sun Ji. You grandson, don’t lower your head and be reserved. Eat and drink with open arms. Later, let me see who of you dares to stand up straight and appear in front of me.

I'll cut out everyone's scenes."

"Why is this so?"

"If you abuse your power, we will criticize you."

"Criticize him, one drink per person." Zhao Xianzai and the others immediately started cheering loudly.

Li Xiaole was completely relaxed. He smiled and patted his belly, pointing at a few boys: "You guys are the only ones who dare to challenge me, come on~!" He took a bottle of wine and rushed to the middle of the crowd.

There was cheering and the sound of clinking glasses.

After several rounds, Zhao Xianzai did not get Li Xiaole drunk, but he was already tipsy. No one could understand how Li Xiaole's thin body could decompose so much alcohol...

In the middle of eating and drinking, everyone started singing. Shen Yinhe and several other actresses from Fuming Company secretly wiped away their tears. Shen Yinhe’s tearful eyes hugged Li Xiaole’s neck and said, “Director, you taught me a lot, and I can learn more than I did before.

There are more." Still blowing in his ear: "Director, if you don't have a girlfriend, consider me." The look of crying and laughing is typical of drinking too much. "I don't dare, your best friend is

I'm the superior." Li Xiaole was so frightened that he pushed her away.

Kim Jong Min also drank too much, and pulled Sun Ji with red eyes: "Brother, I am the protagonist of the movie. Can you believe it? I am the protagonist! This movie was so enjoyable~"

Sun Ji smiled and said: "Indeed, this is much more interesting than school." But he felt helpless and sighed: "It's a pity... there will be classes again tomorrow."

"Stop talking, I can't even think about going back to school tomorrow to endorse...it's still fun to film." Another student actor took a sip of wine with some worry: "Oh, MBC will be recruiting reserve actors in two days.

I’m going to sign up and give it a try, Sun Ji, will you come with me?”

Sun Ji jokingly stretched out three fingers and said:

"Don't worry, guys. The director said that after the movie is released, even if you can't become a Korean pop star in the future, you can still play a role in a TV series or variety show. Your net worth will be at least three times what it is now ~ Life

Three times happier than now."

"Only three times? I thought it would be at least ten times higher~"

"Hehe, if you pay ten times more, then you can clean your butt and sleep with the director a few times before I can see how you can play."

Ha Ji-won and Kim Jong-min next to them both laughed. Only Jin Nan, who was immersed in eating, did not speak. He envied the state of these young people who did not know the taste of sorrow. The experienced ones among them knew in their hearts that this movie

I'm afraid it will be difficult to release it. Don't look at the great success of "Se is Empty" in Danguo, but after all, it is a small budget of 100 million, the main actors are all newcomers, and the director is a 19-year-old Mao

Boy, even if the film industry association specifically recommends it for distribution, I’m afraid it’s hard for theater managers to be interested in it.

South Korea's film system requires the theater manager to give the nod, and then the distribution company can start promoting the film. If it cannot pass this level, no one else can even think about releasing it in theaters.

Lei Ting, who had never had any alcohol, stared at Li Xiaole with her beautiful dark eyes, sat next to him and asked him with a strange look: "Hey, don't you have no money in your account? Where did you buy it?

These are the food”

"It's a kickback." Li Xiaole stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth and smiled slyly: "I'm more familiar with you in Danguo, so it's not difficult to deduct a little money."

When Lei Ting heard this, she was not angry but surprised. Originally, in his mind, Li Xiaole was extremely mean and stingy with many expenses, so he could barely finish the movie with such a small amount of money. Now it is rare to have any kickbacks left, so he still

Take it out and treat others to dinner...

You must know that after paying these actors the money for the movie, they have nothing to worry about, and all the pressure is on this kid's shoulders. Does he really plan to make Category 4 movies in the future?

"Director, please sing a song~" Someone shouted and handed over the microphone. Everyone cheered and cheered.

In the night breeze, Li Xiaole slowly picked up the microphone, took a deep breath, sat on the grass and began to sing an old song softly:

"Looking back slowly, the evenings that once belonged to each other

Honghong is still you, giving me the sunshine in my heart

If you shed silly tears, I hope you can be considerate and forgive me.

If I leave you tomorrow morning, the road may be lonely and long

Too much to say in one moment

It's a pity that they will be on both sides soon

I can only gaze deeply at this moment

There will be thousands of songs in the future

Floating on my road in the distance..."

It is a farewell poem. Although everyone does not understand Chinese, they are deeply wrapped in the sentimental and reluctant atmosphere. When Li Xiaole sings with a young but gentle voice, "It is a pity that we will be on both sides. I have to remember this deeply."

Stare." Everyone can't help but look at the people around them. Those familiar faces may never be seen again tomorrow...

Everyone's eyes were wet. Ha Ji-won was very drunk, crying and hugging everyone she could see. She kept crying and heartbroken.

Lei Ting looked at Li Xiaole's soulful singing, but she couldn't tell what kind of person he was. Thinking that he was about to sink, she seemed to have a strange emotion in her heart. Was it worry, regret, or distress?

In the afternoon in Seoul, the sun was shining brightly, and the wind gently rustled the locust tree branches in front of the door. On the 21st floor of a commercial building, Li Xiaole was yawning and Lei Ting was waiting for Jin Nan's call outside the office door.

information.

A week ago, Li Xiaole completed the post-editing of "Color Is Empty". The length of the film was finally the standard 90 minutes. In his opinion, this film is definitely worthy of the word "wonderful". After watching it, it will make people feel more relaxed.

A person will laugh until his stomach hurts, and his eyes will turn red in pain. From his own point of view, it is more exciting than the original version.

Of course, Li Xiaole didn't show it to Ha Ji-won and the others because he wanted to keep the surprise on the day of the premiere.

However, after editing the entire movie, Li Xiaole began to be in a passive state, because he was only the producer, and the distributor was the Film Industry Association, which was operated by Jin Nan. It stands to reason that the Film Industry Association is an extremely powerful distribution organization in South Korea.

However, Korean movies are produced first by the theater chain, and only with the approval of the theater manager can the film association start investing in publicity plans.

There are three major film companies in South Korea, CJ, Showbox and Lotte, which have powerful theater channels, and the integrated production and distribution model is extremely powerful. Of course, Li Xiaole hopes that the film can be released in these three major theaters.

However, this major theater chain has already arranged the summer movie schedule for the next two months. Jin Nan doesn't think they will be able to watch Li Xiaole's movie, but Li Xiaole still called and contacted him. He wanted to try it.

An opportunity is always good.

However, on the phone, as soon as CJ's film purchasing manager heard that his film was a student-supported film, he didn't arrange a meeting at all, so he hung up the phone saying that something happened. The other party must have thought that it was ridiculous for him, a student, to apply for a summer film.
Chapter completed!
