Chapter 64:

Although the feature film of "Thunder Gun" has not been released yet, the movie poster has far exceeded the expectations of netizens. However, science fiction movies have a long production cycle. Everyone thinks that they will not be able to see the film online until at least a year.
Because the crew needed a lot of setting up and shooting action scenes under the green screen, Chu Xiaxing began to work in the crew for a long time. This is probably her normal state in the coming year.
The crew of "Gun Saint" also rushed to the familiar Luokang film and television base. Chu Xiaxing met with the base's director Anderson again, this time using more scenes in the Luokang base. She is busy working in overseas film and television bases, and naturally stays away from domestic news, and even missed receiving her own awards.
During the six months that Chu Xiaxing was shooting outside, Cao Yangang won the best supporting actor. With his own efforts, he has a firm foothold in the drama. Now he often plays supporting roles in the drama, which is regarded as a stable reception and improved acting skills; Zhou Xuelu has a big hit The drama, her popularity is rising rapidly, and only the projects she touches can revitalize the artist management of Vanke Films; Hou Shenyue regrets that he missed the best actor, the award-winning actor is a senior, but he also relies on "Wu Dao "The performance in "has washed away his reputation, and many viewers have expressed grievances for him, thinking that his performance is better than his predecessors.
The movie "Wu Dao" finally won the best screenplay award, best director award and best supporting actor, which is quite rewarding. Chu Xiaxing was not able to go to the scene overseas, so she asked Wang Fengtian to accept the award on her behalf. She did not attend the award ceremony.
Xie Zhaoyan and Hou Shenyue finished filming their respective scenes in "Gun Saint" and then returned to China for activities. Chu Xiaxing and others are not easy to get away overseas. She can only communicate with the crew of "Wu Dao" through video, sharing the joy of winning the award remotely.
In the video, Zhou Xuelu complained: "Director Chu, you haven't seen me for a long time..."
Cao Yangang: "Boss, so am I, so am I!"
Hou Shen-yue also participated in "Sage of Thunder Spear" anyway. Zhou Xuelu and Cao Yangang were in the rising stage of their careers and were gradually leaving Chu Xiaxing's wings. They really had less time to communicate with her.
Chu Xiaxing joked: "One of you is just getting popular, and the other has just won the prize. Isn't that afraid of me climbing?"
Zhou Xuelu and Cao Yangang suddenly wailed, and they seemed to vent their longing for not being scolded for a long time.
Wang Fengtian smiled and said: "I'll give your trophy to Xiaoxia, you can ask him to get it when you come back."
Hou Shenyue: "Director Chu, are the crew still busy now?"
Hou Shenyue is a supporting role in "Thunder Gun Sage", his shooting mission is not as many as Joe Zhansi, let alone staring at special effects production like Director Chu, naturally he did not stay in Luokang Film and Television Base for too long.
"It's still the same." Chu Xiaxing heard that Hou Shenyue missed the award, she rarely encouraged her, "It doesn't matter if you have regrets this time, you are the actor of this year in my heart."
Hou Shenyue's failure was related to his original traffic status, and the other predecessor was an old acquaintance of the judging team. Naturally, various interests must be considered. It is impossible for "Wu Dao" to win all awards. Chu Xiaxing said at first that "the actor has a hand", but she really saw Hou Shenyue reluctant to lose and couldn't bear it. After all, she was almost lucky.
Hou Shenyue has actually adjusted his mood, but he rarely heard Director Chu's praise, and he was flattered immediately: "Director Chu can say this, I feel that it is worth more than winning..."
Hou Shen understands the judging team's mentality of dividing pork. He has figured out a lot of things after shooting the police film of "24 Frames of Light and Shadow". He will no longer judge himself easily by external voices, but learn to think and move forward independently. He may regret that he missed a certain year's award, but he believes that there will always be gains if he persists, and his mentality has become much more peaceful.
Now that Director Chu can say this, Hou Shenyue feels that it is more valuable than winning awards. After all, awards must consider the relationship of interests, but what Chu Xiaxing said is naturally much more convincing!
Chu Xiaxing was quite amused: "Since you think it is more worthwhile, you will get the actor in the future and use the trophy to exchange it with me. You hand in the trophy, and I'm complimenting it."
Hou Shenyue: "Then when can I work with Director Chu? I can get the trophy sooner?"
Zhou Xuelu: "Let's make an appointment now? You are too cunning!"
Everyone chatted for a while, and then reluctantly hung up the phone and made an appointment to return to China to meet Chu Xiaxing.
The work of the crew of "Thunder Gun Sage" is routine and repetitive. During the shooting, Chu Xiaxing instructed the actors to perform in front of the green screen. After work, he must keep an eye on the progress of special effects production and check the newly-built movie scenes, even too busy. During the Spring Festival.
Duan Chengyan and others have already flown back to the country ahead of time. As a young master, he must show up in the family reunion, otherwise it is not good to continue to coquettishly roll around in front of the elders for resources. Chu Xiaxing did not go home for the New Year. She gave Han Chuning and Chu Qiuyi a video call to greet her, and she still stationed and worked in the film and television base.
After Anderson learned the news, he admired it, thinking that Chu Xia Xingyuan was very human. His Chinese has improved recently, and he can barely communicate with Chu Xiaxing. If he can't mix Chinese and English, he still understands the meaning of each other: "I think the Spring Festival is your important day, don't you even go home?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Everyone in my family is used to it."
Chu Xiaxing often does not go home during the holiday season. On the one hand, it is determined by the nature of his work. On the other hand, there are few family members who go back to visit. Her relatives are quite limited, and they all have their own lives, and they don't always get together.
Fearing Chu Xiaxing's loneliness, Anderson suggested: "Chinatown now has Spring Festival activities. You can go and take a look. It should be very lively."
Chu Xiaxing declined Anderson's proposal. She lacked interest in it. Rather than wasting time outside, it was better to rush out the first trailer.
Anderson sighed: "It's really a workaholic like Song. I can't imagine not going home at Christmas."
Chu Xiaxing: "It's just that I have such a personality."
Some people in the crew asked for leave to go home like Duan Chengyan, and some continued to stay at the base like Chu Xiaxing. On the day of the Spring Festival, Chu Xiaxing did not hold the staff left behind, and let them go shopping in Chinatown. At any rate, she also took a day off, and she continued to watch the material.
Surprisingly, Song Wenye actually appeared in the crew and did not go home for the New Year like Duan Chengyan.
When Chu Xiaxing saw President Song who was visiting the crew, she was very surprised, and said strangely: "Does Song always go home for the New Year?"
"There is a problem with the flight, and I can't make it to the New Year's Eve dinner when I go back. I'll just come and have a look." Song Wenye greeted the remaining staff and suggested, "Everyone get together?"
Chu Xiaxing: "As expected, it is you, here to treat again."
Song Wenye took the initiative to invite the crew members who were in a foreign country to eat New Year's Eve dinner, which also cheered the production team and relieved the loneliness that everyone could not go home. After the simple joy, Chu Xiaxing curiously asked, "You won't go back if you can't make the New Year's Eve dinner? Duan Chengyan has gone home."
Song Wenye calmly said, "Dor Chu, didn't he go back?"
"I have nothing to see when I go back..."
Chu Qiuyi's family also had their own plans for the Spring Festival, and Chu Xiaxing felt that there was something strange about being involved in it. She suddenly reacted and said suspiciously: "Aren't you here to care for the empty nest old man?"
Chu Xiaxin no longer has any relatives alive, and Song Wenye has accepted his father's help again. He knew about this, and he might have come here specially.
Song Wenye blinked solemnly: "I am also an empty-nest old man. At most, I am an old man holding a group for warmth."
Chu Xiaxing was amused by the other party, and joked: "Where are you the empty nest old man? Duan Dong must be looking forward to your return."
"No, I don't often go home for the New Year." Seeing her suspicion, Song Wenye simply explained, "It's true. When I was a child, my father had a working relationship. Later, I was busy at work and my family was afraid of interruption. Force me to go back."
Chu Xiaxing showed a thoughtful look. Duan Hui and others often needed to stay at home during the holidays. So Song Wenye did go home less often for the New Year. She nodded and said, "Well, it is indeed two professional empty-nest elderly people who report to the group for warmth and spend the New Year in a foreign country."
Song Wenye: "So what did Director Chu do during the New Year?"
Chu Xiaxing was stunned when she heard the words, she really didn't have much impression of the previous New Year, and subconsciously replied, "Give the kids red envelopes?"
Chu Xiaxing often does not go home for the New Year, but she will give Han Chuning a red envelope, even if she does not meet during the Spring Festival, she will make up for it later.
Chu Xiaxing thought about the short section in front of her, and she tentatively asked, "Do you need me to send you one?"
Chu Xiaxing: After all, it was a kid who scammed at the commissary back then, so it seems to be interesting.
Song Wenye: "?" Is this a sudden advantage?
Seeing that he didn't answer, Chu Xiaxing showed her true color of cheating money again, and said shamelessly: "So Song always sends me one?"
Song Wenye: "..."
Song Wenye's Spring Festival greeting came to an end after losing a red envelope. Chu Xiaxing also took him to watch the upcoming trailer of "Thunder Gun Sage". The two workaholics had no other topics during the Spring Festival, so they simply talked about work.
Because the world view of the original game is extremely large, how to extract the story is very important. The first trailer has a very short duration and does not have too many plot lines. It is more like fragment splicing. The short film shows the futuristic setting, the extremely cool special effects, and the precise outline of the game world view, which is very large.
Even the well-informed Song Wenye, he was deeply shocked after reading it, and frankly said: "I have to start to extend the schedule with Director Chu for a few more years."
Chu Xiaxing: "What?"
Song Wenye: "I'm afraid that the money will increase after the movie is released, so I'll knock it down and save my budget now."
Chu Xiaxing: "President Song is really shrewd. He even cares about raising money. This was not the case with you before. Money is always very decisive."
Song Wenye: "This is not just after the red envelope has been issued, so naturally you have to care about it."
Chu Xiaxing: "?"
After the Spring Festival, the trailer of "Thunder Gun Sage" finally came out, in which the exquisite and smooth special effects and highly restored scene construction amazed the public. It was the first time that the audience saw a science fiction movie comparable to a blockbuster outside the United States. The trailer instantly detonated the topic of domestic Internet and even rushed into hot searches.
At the same time, Fanke Pictures began to arrange overseas distribution and promotion. If "Gun Saint" is to win overseas markets, overseas preheating is also necessary.
On the bustling streets of a foreign country, the trailer of "Thunder Gun Sage" was playing on the huge screen. After the vigorous thunder light, Joe Zhans’ mixed-race face appeared on the screen. His face was stained with dust but his eyes were divine and he looked straight. Looking straight ahead.
The close-up shots fully showed the handsome facial features of the gun sage, and attracted passers-by on the streets of foreign countries to stop. They all watched the trailer in novel, and then left after watching the trailer.
On the corner of the street, the man with the eastern face looked at the screen fascinatingly. He seemed to be some years old, but he stared at Joe Zhans in the picture motionlessly, seeming to be a little stunned.
The man waited until the title flashed at the end of the trailer, and remembered the names of the film director and starring actors, and then left silently.
