Los Angeles, USA, "Genius Gunman" rented a hotel owned by a Chinese here.The crew filmed in Los Angeles for more than a week, and the scene was basically over, leaving only a few shots to shoot a panoramic view of the city of Los Angeles and rent a helicopter.However, it ran into trouble, and the Los Angeles city government has not given a filming permit.Li He and Tang Qianqian ran to several places, all of them were perfunctory, and asked the two to go back and wait, and the two couldn't help but sigh that government workers all over the world have the same virtue.Tang Qianqian called Tang Qingshan for help, but Tang Qingshan's foreign business was basically Southeast Asia, RB.There really aren't many connections here in North America.Li He also asked Wang Xuanqing for help, and Wang Xuanqing patted his chest after listening to it and promised that he would definitely solve this matter.Li He was stunned for a moment, and even suspected that the old man was bragging.However, a Warner Bros. executive came to him, and with the help of this executive, Li He successfully got the approval."
Thank you, Mr.
Holman, things wouldn't have gone so well without your help."
Li He walked out of the Los Angeles Civic Center and said gratefully to Herman.Holman is a German-American with striking red hair and a long beard.Holman is the head of distribution at Warner Bros.
Pictures, and of course such a figure can't help Li He, a nobody, for no reason, especially in the summer, when the studio is busiest."
You're welcome, Li, I'm friends with Mr.
Cheng, this is nothing, thank you Mr.
Cheng!"
Holman said.Mr.
Cheng is Cheng Zhiwen, and Penguin Pictures participated in investing in a lot of films last year.Several Warner Bros. films have also been invested, and Cheng Zhiwen is the person in charge, and it was at that time that he met Holman.Wang Xuanqing called Cheng Zhiwen, and there happened to be such a connection, so Cheng Zhiwen helped with this little favor.Hearing Wang Xuanqing say that "Genius Gunman" was about to be released, Cheng Zhiwen called Li He and agreed to watch the finished film at that time.Li He knew in his heart that help would be rewarded, Cheng Zhiwen just came to see the quality of the film, if the quality of the film was good, Cheng Zhiwen would probably talk to him about distribution.Because of Cheng Zhiwen's help, Li He will definitely give priority to Penguin Pictures when the time comes, pay and return, isn't it?
Li He chatted with Holman for a while, and Holman remembered that he had seen Li He's first cut version of the finished film and was a little interested in this film, so he asked Li He: "I wonder if Mr.
Li has any ideas for overseas distribution, and if so, the Warner Brothers will operate it on his behalf." ”"I don't know how to work together?"
Li He said curiously
.
"$500,000, Warner buys out overseas distribution and rights."
Holman confidently said that for a small-budget film that has not yet been completed, $500,000 is not unsubsuming, and he believes that the young director in front of him will not refuse.However, things turned out to be unexpected, and Li He refused."
I'm sorry, Mr.
Holman, but we don't have any ideas for an overseas release at the moment.""
That's a pity, Mr.
Li, I still have something to do here, so I'll leave first."
Unexpected rejection, Holman doesn't care, anyway, just try!
Bidding farewell to Holman, Tang Qianqian followed from behind."
Ah, what did the ghost guys say to you!"
She had just been checking in at the Civic Center, and she hadn't heard the conversation between Li He and Holman.Li He touched Tang Qianqian's head and smiled: "It's nothing, Mr.
Holman wants to buy out the overseas distribution rights of "Genius Gunman". ”"Wow......."
Tang Qianqian exclaimed and continued to ask, "Then did you agree?"
How much does the ghost give?
”"Give half a million dollars to buy out overseas distribution and copyrights, I refused.""
It's okay to refuse!
That ghost guy is so visionless, only 500,000, hmph, don't give it to him, but this can be used to become a propaganda point, and it's still a bit useful to look at the ghost guy this way. ”Tang Qianqian pouted."
Okay, okay, don't bury others when everyone is gone, hurry back to the crew, hurry up and shoot, time is critical."
Li He stopped a car, and the two sat in, and every day the crew was delayed, the money spent was astronomical.…… In the next few days, the crew ended all the scenes abroad, and it was basically finalized.Then the crew members returned to the capital, and after resting for a few days, they finished filming the few remaining scenes.The main reason is that Li Heduo filmed a few endings, and the final film must be in line with the mainstream values of society, and those different endings will be launched on the streaming platform.A simple scene, with a click from Li He, ended the shooting.Everyone present did not speak, including Yang Hao, Zhang Yishan, and many other leading actors all looked at Li He.Li He got up slowly, his eyes swept over the audience, and said loudly: "I announce, "Genius Gunman" is officially closed, let's finish!"
”The crew erupted in enthusiastic cheers and applause."
Quiet......
Quiet......
I have something to announce. ”Li He quieted everyone down, and then said: "I know that everyone has worked hard for more than a month, and the success of the film is inseparable from your help and support, so tonight in the Palace Restaurant, we will not get drunk and not return!"
”"Oh......"
"Long live the director!""
Brothers, hurry up and pack up, and go to the finale banquet after cleaning up."
In the evening, everyone killed the palace restaurant, and with the end of Li He's speech, everyone began to stagger, the film and television industry is a very stressful industry, and now there is a rare opportunity to relax.Li He is naturally the object of care, but he has only clinked glasses with a few leading actors and the bosses of each group, and the rest have been blocked by Du Chongyi.In fact, Du Chongyi didn't want to block the wine, but under Tang Qianqian's powerful eyes, he obediently blocked the wine, but fortunately, this guy was a wine god."
Director, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I'll toast you."
Deng Lun, who had been finished for a long time, also came over to participate in the finale banquet and toasted Li He with a wine glass, but it was filled with Coke."
You're welcome, your performance is great, and it's a pleasure to work with a great actor like you."
Li He said, and the two clinked glasses together.At this time, Zhang Yishan also came over and asked Li He curiously: "Director, when will our movie be released?"
”"I'm going to talk to Penguin Pictures specifically, if everything goes well, it is estimated that it will be during the National Day schedule."

Li He said that Cheng Zhiwen had made an appointment to come to the studio to watch the finished film after the film was edited.Li He is very confident in the quality of the film, and Penguin Pictures is very likely to win the distribution rights."
Is the National Day schedule OK?
I heard that there are several commercial blockbusters on this year's National Day. ”Zhang Yishan said worriedly.Li He smiled hesitantly and said to Zhang Yishan: "Yishan!
Have faith in yourself, and it's them, not us, to be afraid now. ”Although Zhang Yishan and Deng Lun didn't know why Li He was so confident, they also felt at ease.After the finale banquet, Li He immediately threw himself into post-production.The film has been cut while shooting, and the length of the first cut is 180 minutes, and the final editing needs to be edited several times, and the final control is controlled to be less than 130 minutes.Generally speaking, a suitable film is between 90 and 120 minutes long, which is neither too hasty nor too procrastinating, and there are only a handful of three-hour films like the Lord of the Rings trilogy.In addition to film editing, there are also sound effects and soundtracks, which are more professional in Hollywood and Hong Kong Island.Although the mainland is cheaper, the achievements in soundtrack and sound design are still far from those on Hong Kong Island.Fortunately, with the original version as a reference, Li He found a studio at the beginning of the start-up and made the soundtrack according to his own requirements.Communication was also maintained during the filming to keep track of the progress.After more than a month of busyness, the studio finally sent a few versions, and Li He was quite satisfied after listening to them.Eventually, these soundtracks will be edited into the film to add to the atmosphere of the film.While Li He was busy with post-production, Tang Qianqian also started the pre-publicity work, and the studio didn't have so much money, so the main publicity position was still on the Internet.Li He cut three trailers and put them on the video platform, with hundreds of thousands of views, and more than 30,000 people on Douban tagged what they wanted to see.At the same time, Tang Qianqian launched an online water army and began to promote it on various forums and post bars, and the overall effect was not bad, at least the Baidu search entry "Genius Gunman" ranked twenty-first.And the re-cooperation between Liu Xing and Xia Xue has also attracted a lot of attention.The audience watched the rivalry between Xiao Lin and Xiao Rui in the trailer, and couldn't help but sigh that Liu Xing and Xiao Xue have grown up, and we have grown up too......
