Tuesday, morning.

Pei Qian was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by the ringing of the phone.

I opened my sleepy eyes and looked at the caller ID. It was Huang Sibo calling.

Pei Qian answered the phone: "Hello?"

Huang Sibo's slightly excited voice came over the phone: "Mr. Pei, I have some good news for you! The movie "Mission and Decision" has been completed, and the last scene was just shot this morning!"

Pei Qian hasn't woken up yet, and his mind is still a little confused: "Oh?"

But the next second, he reacted immediately.

The movie is finished!

Although I was very reluctant, the day still came.

After previously deciding on the joint game + movie project "Mission and Choice", Pei Qian didn't pay much attention to it.

The reasons are complicated. On the one hand, it is because Pei Qian is afraid that his attention will have an observer effect, or that one of his subconscious suggestions will inexplicably have the finishing touch, but will be self-defeating. On the other hand, it is because this project is

Spanning two settlement cycles, Pei Qian has more important projects to deal with.

Of course, there is also the reason that Pei Qian feels that he has done enough preparations before establishing the project. "Mission and Choice" almost condenses all the failure factors. Even He An feels that it is bound to fail, so Pei Qian

Qian is full of confidence in this project.

It wasn't until he happened to meet He An some time ago that Pei Qian thought of going to Tenda Games to see the development of the "Mission and Decision" game.

As for movies, Pei Qian has never been to a studio, and he doesn't even know the synopsis of the movie's story.

The only thing he knew was that the story background of "Mission and Choice" was decided by himself, and it should be about the war between humans and Zerg.

Because the original "Mission and Choice" that was called "the shame of national travel" more than ten years ago used this background, Pei Qian asked director Zhu Xiaoce to use it, and director Zhu Xiaoce must have complied.

I just don’t know what the specific situation will be after this movie is made.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian suddenly sat up from the bed.

"It's a good thing that it's finished, so we must celebrate it!"

"Well, let's go to Mr. Li's Ming Mansion family dinner at noon today. I'll treat you! Everyone on the crew will go!"

"Then you organize everyone to spend a few days in Jingzhou. Next Monday happens to be the 20th. Let's go to the unknown restaurant for another meal!"

When "Better Tomorrow" was finalized, the treatment and specifications were also like this: two high-level dinners + a week of local tours in Jingzhou. For Pei Qian, the salary can only be raised but not lowered, and every penny that should be spent is spent.

No less.

Huang Sibo was very happy: "Okay, Mr. Pei!"

…

At noon, Mingfu’s family dinner.

Today is Tuesday. There were originally few customers, but Pei Qian called early to book a table, so the entire restaurant was filled with people from the film crew.

In addition to on-site staff such as Huang Sibo, Zhu Xiaoce, Lu Zhiyao and photographers, editors, post-production crew and other crew members also came and gathered together.

It stands to reason that editing and post-production should be the busiest right now, but "Mission and Decision" was shot segment by segment. After each segment is shot, you can rough cut and do post-production, so the pressure on editing and post-production is not particularly great.

Moreover, no matter how busy he is at work, Mr. Pei still has to come over to treat guests!

Everyone knew that Mr. Pei didn't have many rules when it came to entertaining guests, so they all sat down casually and waited for Mr. Pei's arrival.

Huang Sibo, Zhu Xiaoce, Lu Zhiyao and others sat at the same table, eagerly waiting for Mr. Pei's arrival.

"Coming, coming!"

"Mr. Pei, this way!"

Huang Sibo stood up and waved to Pei Qian.

Pei Qian immediately said to the waiter: "What are you waiting for? All the good wine and food will be served? Just order the most expensive one, hurry up."

Then, he sat down at Zhu Xiaoce's table.

Only now has Pei Qian been able to meet these people from the crew.

After looking around, his eyes rested on Lu Zhiyao.

Well, as expected, there is another way to go.

Pei Qian has been mentally prepared for this. After all, Lu Zhiyao has a close relationship with Feihuang Studio, and everyone has a great time working together. It is natural for them to collaborate again.

When talking about the issue of actors before, Pei Qian's request was that he could only hire one leading actor, and the others could only be supporting roles. Anyone can be hired for the lead role, it doesn't matter if they are big names, but they must not have too many expressions.

Although Lu Zhiyao's acting skills are good, but he has no expression, how can he use his acting skills?

So Pei Qian was not very angry, but accepted it calmly.

It would be best if the movie dies suddenly and loses all its money. Lu Zhiyao returns to the "box office poison", which cuts off the possibility of future cooperation and lets each other go!

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the waiters began to serve the dishes one after another.

Pei Qian looked around again and suddenly realized a problem.

That’s not quite right. Why is there only Lu Zhiyao? Where are the other actors?

Pei Qian's previous request to Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce was that there could only be one starring role, and the others could only be supporting roles.

Where's the bitch?

Could it be that because he is a supporting actor, he doesn't even care about his meal?

That’s too outrageous! It’s so inconsistent with the spirit of Tengda!

Pei Qian's expression became serious and he looked at Huang Sibo: "Why are the other supporting actors not here? Since it is a celebration banquet, none of them must be missing!"

Huang Sibo was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly explained: "Oh, Mr. Pei, everyone on the crew is here, including the errand boys."

"There is no supporting actor because we didn't hire a supporting actor at all. The only actor is Lu Zhiyao."

Pei Qian: "?"

This Huang Sibo actually overfulfilled the task?

Pei Qian's requirement for them was that there could only be one starring role, and the others would be supporting roles.

As a result, Huang Sibo even saved the supporting role!

From the beginning to the end of the co-written movie, is it all a one-man show by Lu Zhiyao?

It sounds very unreliable at first glance, and it is very likely to bomb at the box office!

Pei Qian couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Very good! Well done!"

Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce looked at each other and smiled, and they both saw a sense of pride in each other's eyes.

Mr. Pei is indeed Mr. Pei. He immediately guessed the brilliance of our "one-man drama", which is why he praised us so much.

What a close friend!

Pei Qian looked at Lu Zhiyao: "How did you feel during the performance?"

Lu Zhiyao smiled guiltily: "Mr. Pei, to be honest, I don't feel particularly good."

"The whole process is a one-man show, it's so difficult for me to act!"

"Furthermore, Director Zhu also requested that there should not be too many expressions, and the facial muscle changes must be minimal. I felt that I was holding back so much that I almost went crazy..."

Pei Qian couldn't help but feel happy.

Well, not bad!

It's a one-man show, and the lead actor's acting skills are not fully utilized. It's definitely a bad movie, and it's not available!

Pei Qian originally thought about asking Zhu Xiaoce for the script to read, but then he thought about it, what's so good about a bad movie script?

Besides, the filming of the movie has already been completed and the rice has been cooked. Even if I see the script now, it is impossible to reshoot it. Otherwise, the movie will not be released in time and the settlement will be affected.

So Pei Qian didn't feel bad for himself and raised his drink: "Everyone has worked hard these past few months! Eat and drink well today. Have a good few days in Jingzhou. I'll invite you all to Wuming on the 20th.

Eat at the restaurant!”

The crowd immediately burst into cheers.

The food at the nameless restaurant is usually not available. Everyone has been waiting for this meal after working for several months. Can you not be excited?

The filming was officially completed, and everyone relaxed, chatting and laughing while enjoying the food, and the scene was harmonious.

…

After Pei Qian had eaten his fill, he excused himself as being busy with work and left. However, everyone in the crew obviously wasn't having enough fun, and some of them even opened wine and chatted while drinking.

Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo continued to discuss the later stages of "Mission and Decision".

The crew's cameramen, stage management and other staff can rest, unless there are individual scenes that require reshoots. However, there are still many problems in fine editing and post-production, and Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo cannot just rest.

While they were discussing, Huang Sibo's phone rang.

Huang Sibo took a look and saw that it was Rui Yuchen calling.

"Um?"
