Chapter 218
Just as Zhang Qingxian was about to leave the studio, he heard footsteps behind him.
"You're going to have an interview in a while."
"Refuse it for me. I don't want to accept any interviews."
Zhang Qingxian refused without hesitation.
Zhang Luyan stood there, staring at him. After a long while, she spoke.
"There's nothing we can do. Thanks to them, the movie can be postponed."
This time, Zhang Qingxian had nothing to say and had to follow Zhang Luyan obediently.
Zhang Luyan had arranged a talk show in the studio.
Not long after, some media came in with various equipment.
"Let's do it."
Zhang Qingxian straightened his clothes and sat down in front of the camera.
"Director Zhang, you made a bet with Director Anthony. Everyone knows this."
"Can I ask how you feel?"
This question was asked very cleverly, but it was a question to him.
After the impulse, do you feel some regret?
A smile appeared on Zhang Qingxian's face.
"I have also considered it carefully."
"Director Zhang, do you think you can do it?"
Zhang Qingxian hesitated to speak but did not give a direct response.
“Many people online have expressed doubts about this.
"Since Dragon Country can produce such a popular film, there is no reason why we Chinese can't do it."
“Whatever it is, there is a chance of failure.”
"But if you don't do this, you won't have a chance!"
Zhang Qingxian's words were so powerful that they echoed throughout the studio.
The reporter also became excited.
"Director Zhang is indeed full of confidence!"
"Then I wish Director Zhang a successful start!"
"Thanks!"……
Zhang Qingxian laughed.
Before the shot was finished, the reporter spoke again.
"Also, everyone also wants to know, Director Zhang is still unmarried? Which one would you choose?"
Zhang Qingxian was stunned when he heard this.
He had not expected this to be the question at all, and was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
"I'm still single now, but I haven't decided on a partner yet, haha."
"Thank you Director Zhang!"
The reporter didn't ask any more questions.
"Wandering Earth"
"Click!" There was a slight sound.
Everyone was delighted to hear Zhang Qingxian's words.
"It's finished!" Tangning replied.
"Finally done!"
"I've been working overtime these days, even filming in my dreams. Today I can finally sleep peacefully!"
"Sleep, let's go out for a drink!"
Zhang Qingxian was also very happy. He looked at the photos he had just taken and felt very satisfied.
The scene was filled with jubilation.
Just at this moment, someone murmured.
"I really don't know what the result will be. Can he beat Anthony?"
This is a very common message.
At this moment, his words were like a huge stone, hitting everyone's heart hard.
The joyful atmosphere of the just-finished shoot disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Everyone frowned.
"That's right. If we lose, all our previous efforts will be in vain."
"Not only did I do useless work, but I also got scolded."
Another voice sounded.
"The Wandering Earth" has become the focus of attention of the entire film and television industry.
What they shoulder has long surpassed their own glory.
But it is a glory, a glory, a glory, a glory!
Victory is certainly glorious.
If we lose, the consequences will be disastrous.
Everyone knows this.
"Director Zhang, you look very relaxed!"
Li Xun felt a trace of sympathy from Zhang Qingxian. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Qingxian with his arms folded and a faint smile on his face.
His expression was calm, without any sign of nervousness at all.
"Our play is good, but our opponents are people from Hollywood!"
"If he plays dirty tricks, it will be a question whether our movie can continue to be broadcast."
Zhang Qingxian felt a little powerless. How could he not feel pressured?
But now, there is no need for him to worry about it.
Even he, because of this film, couldn't sleep or eat, but he didn't get any rewards.
It’s better to save some time and use it on post-editing!
Zhang Qingxian did not continue speaking.
"Could it be that Director Zhang, do you have any other cards up your sleeve?"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Xun guessed something.
Zhang Qingxian did not comment, but just gave an unfathomable smile.
"Don't speculate, just think about dinner tonight."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was drawn over.
"Let's go out for dinner tonight, I'll treat you!"
……
After more than an hour, the car finally stopped on a small road.
"Director Zhang, where exactly is this place? I don't even know where it is."
"I didn't know there was such a secluded place in such a big city like Huadu."
As soon as Zhong Shuyuan got out of the car, she started looking around.
Fortunately, there were not many passers-by on this street, otherwise, given her current condition, she would definitely be on the front page of major newspapers tomorrow.
Zhang Qingxian led everyone to the door of a restaurant with ease.
"Oh, I say, I say, I'm a famous person now, where should I go to eat?"
"Director Zhang, don't say that. You are clearly the most popular person in the room!"
Zhong Shuyuan made a joke, and Li Xun next to her also joined in.
"That's right. Among all the actors in our crew, no one can compare to Director Zhang Hong!"
Zhang Qingxian laughed and told the two of them to hurry inside.
This is a restaurant that specializes in serving celebrities, and there was not much reaction to the arrival of the two.
It wasn't long before I was taken to the most private room.
The room is equipped with the best anti-theft devices and the best soundproofing facilities, so there will be absolutely no danger.
Just as they were ordering food, Zhang Qingxian called Zhang Luyan.
As Zhang Qingxian's manager, Zhang Luyan had almost no chance to show her face in this drama, but she played a huge role.
Normally, she takes care of all the work.
This is also why Zhang Luyan is a mystery on the set and no one can hear her name.
That is, Qin Man and some other main actors knew her.
Everyone has high expectations for this legendary female manager.
"Director Zhang, I'm here, but I can't find the restaurant."
Zhang Luyan was in an alley, holding her phone, checking it on her phone.
There is no such restaurant on the navigation!
God knows how Zhang Qingxian found this place.
"Pull over, I'll pick you up." Zhang Qingxian walked out quickly and saw from a distance that Zhang Luyan was driving a white Bentley, parked at the door.
Get out of the car.
Zhang Qingxian's heart skipped a beat.
When Zhang Luyan walked in front of him, he finally realized something.
"It's just a meal, why put on makeup?"
On weekdays, Zhang Luyan wears a white T-shirt, jeans and a pair of black sunglasses.
Unless it is a very important client, she will make some slight modifications.
"This is Director Zhang's first time hosting a dinner, so I have to dress nicely."
"If I'm secretly photographed again, I don't want to appear in the camera without makeup."
Zhang Luyan said this, but she was very happy in her heart.
She and Zhang Qingxian said they would be together every day.
But this was still just the two of them, going to a fancy restaurant together.
With a hint of longing, she followed Zhang Qingxian into the restaurant and walked towards the door of the private room.
As soon as she opened the door, she was stunned.
"Sister Lulu! Come on!"
Zhong Shuyuan waved to her excitedly.
Inside, there was already a large group of people gathered, including staff, photographers, and other workers.
This is a celebration party.
The hope in Zhang Luyan's heart was extinguished in an instant.
"I didn't expect Sister Zhang to be so beautiful as rumored!"
"With this face, I can definitely enter the entertainment industry!"
"This is what they call being shameless!"
Everyone chatted with each other and the atmosphere soon became better.
"I'll give this cup to Director Zhang first! If it weren't for Director Zhang, I wouldn't be where I am today!"
Qin Man was the first to pick up the wine glass and said excitedly.
"Give Director Zhang another glass, and I'll have a sip too!"
"And me!" Regnar nodded and said.
……
After drinking one cup after another, Zhang Qingxian could no longer hold on.
When Zhang Luyan took him home, Zhang Qingxian had already lost consciousness.
"You can drink too much, don't you?"
Zhang Luyan had no choice but to support him as he lay on the hospital bed.
He went to the kitchen and quickly prepared a sobering soup.
Zhang Qingxian drank it all in one gulp, turned around and left.
At this moment, Zhang Qingxian suddenly started coughing violently. Then he stood up abruptly, screamed, and vomited violently.
Zhang Luyan had no choice but to continue cleaning.
Zhang Qingxian spit out the wine in one gulp and woke up completely.
In a trance, he found Zhang Luyan standing beside him, taking pictures for him, busy as a bee.
"Are you awake?" A familiar voice came from behind.
Only then did Zhang Luyan feel relieved.
"It almost scared me, but it's okay, I'll drink less next time."
As soon as she said this, her face turned red.
Zhang Qingxian lowered his head and saw that his clothes had been made dirty by Zhang Luyan, and he was still shirtless.
"Well, then I won't bother you anymore. Don't forget, there's a bowl of hangover soup in our kitchen!"
Early the next morning.
When Zhang Qingxian woke up, his head hurt as if he had been hit by a club.
He had completely forgotten what happened last night.
The only impression I had was that I was drunk and was taken back by my manager Zhang Luyan.
After a brief moment of distraction, he suddenly realized that he should now deal with an important matter.
"The Wandering Earth" has finished filming.
However, Zhang Qingxian did not give up.
He had to finish the editing work quickly.
He thought back and realized that not all the clips he saw in "The Wandering Earth" were plagiarized.
In his memory, although the production of "The Wandering Earth" was quite good, it still had some flaws. After the movie was screened, many people pointed out the unreasonable aspects of it.
At his suggestion, Zhang Qingxian combined his understanding of the film and adapted it into a film.
Before I knew it, the morning had passed.
After working in front of the computer for a long time and having a hangover, Zhang Qingxian felt pain in his waist.
He got up and planned to take a walk outside.
"Boss Tang, am I not here to visit you?"
Zhang Qingxian made a date with Tang Huilin and drove to the "Tiangong Yicai" hotel.
Tang Huilin immediately stopped what he was doing and went outside to meet Gu Ning.
"Director Zhang, I got the news that your play has been completed. Congratulations!"
"Okay, what's left is some post-production and some post-production. The film is scheduled for July, so our schedule is tight."
Just in time for the release of Earthfall directed by Anthony.
Zhang Qingxian posted a Weibo post saying that "The Wandering Earth" will be broadcast on July 7st.
When Tang Huilin heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
After all, making special effects is a very time-consuming task.
Moreover, Zhang Qingxian has high expectations for "The Wandering Earth" because he knows that it is a very difficult movie to shoot.
After all, he wasn't completely sure.
I didn’t have the courage to confess to Zhang Qingxian before, but now that we meet, I finally can’t help it.
A bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Director Zhang, you are also an insider. You must know that this special effect requires time to accumulate."
"It's just a short moment. Even if I mobilize the whole company, I may not be able to take the picture!"
“Besides, the video hasn’t been edited yet and we still have to wait for the movie to be released, which makes it even more stressful!”
Zhang Qingxian ignored Qin Ye's preparations and went straight to the point.
"Don't worry about it. I'll send you the video tonight."
"I had no choice!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Huilin immediately widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Didn't this just end last night? Why did it end?"
What a great speed!
If Zhang Qingxian hadn't looked so serious, Tang Huilin would have thought that this famous director was joking again.
“There’s still a third.
And at this time, only ten hours had passed!
After knowing the shooting progress of this video, how could Tang Huilin dare to say that he couldn't catch up!
"Director Zhang, don't worry, I will do my best!"
"By the way, how are the videos I sent you?"
"Those scenes are crucial and must be filmed well."
In "The Wandering Earth", there are not only regular scenes, but also many special scenes.
All of this was the script that Zhang Qingxian prepared in advance and gave to Zhang Luyan and Tang Huilin.
Then, Gu Ning took Gu Ning to Tang Huilin's company.
At this moment, some of the finished product's special effects were being displayed on the big screen.
A frozen city, an underground city full of machines, a Jupiter very close.
"So real! So good!"
This is an unexpected surprise!
Zhang Qingxian looked at the special effects of "The Wandering Earth" and felt that it was pretty good!
Tang Huilin proudly introduced himself to Zhang Qingxian.
"In order to complete this work, we used the country's most advanced technology and worked day and night for more than half a month!"
"Director Zhang, this is something special, can you help me make it?"
