Chapter 540: Filming of "Detective Chinatown" is Complete
While Jing Tian was washing up in the bathroom, Fu Yibai stood in her room, looking around.
When I came in yesterday, the candlelight was too dim, so I couldn't see the whole room clearly.
The candles and tableware left untouched from last night were still on the table, a half-empty bottle of red wine remained, and white roses bloomed quietly in a glass vase.
On the coffee table next to the sofa was an open script, covered with numerous colorful sticky notes.
Ten minutes later, Jing Tian changed into a simple white T-shirt and jeans, tied her long hair into a ponytail, and looked refreshed and neat.
"What are you looking at?"
"Your script. You've worked very hard."
"Of course, I'm going to be a good actor."
Let's go eat.
Breakfast is served in the hotel's restaurant on the first floor, where a buffet table is already set out with a variety of breakfast options.
Liu Yifei was already seated by the window, with a bowl of white porridge and a small dish of side dishes in front of her.
Seeing Jing Tian and Fu Yibai walk in side by side, she put down her chopsticks and pulled out the chair next to her.
"Tian Tian, sit down."
"Thank you, Sister Sisi."
Jing Tian sat down next to Liu Yifei, took a slice of whole wheat bread and spread jam on it, her movements as natural as ever.
Liu Yifei picked up the bowl of porridge, took a sip, glanced between the two of them, and said nothing.
The three of them would occasionally chat about things related to the film crew while eating.
When Li Guoli walked over, he was holding a cup of soy milk. He paused for a moment when he saw Fu Yibai, then smiled and walked over.
"Did Director Fu get a good rest last night?"
"very good.
"I'm leaving today, so I'll have to trouble Director Li with Xixi and Tiantian."
"Not at all, Yifei and Jingtian are both very good and dedicated actresses."
It's not troublesome at all.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the film crew's car was already waiting downstairs at the hotel.
Fu Yibai put his suitcase in the trunk and glanced back at the direction of Laojun Mountain before getting into the car.
The morning mist had mostly dissipated, and the verdant mountain peaks rose and fell in layers under the blue sky, while the buildings on the mountaintops shone with gold in the morning light.
At 2 p.m., the plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport.
Zhang Xinyu drove her white BMW X5 directly to Chenxi Building.
She reported on the itinerary while driving.
"Old Zhou said that the rough cut of 'The Wandering Earth' is complete, and we'll wait for you to watch it before we start the fine cut."
In addition, director Zhang Yimou has prepared the script and would like to meet with you.
The early design drafts for *Star Wars: Episode VII* have arrived; John Swartz is urging you to take a look.
"What genre is Director Zhang's script?"
"He didn't say. He only said he wanted you to take a look."
Let's arrange it for tomorrow morning.
Back at the company, Fu Yibai went straight to the editing room.
In the editing room, besides The Wandering Earth, other projects are also in post-production.
Fu Yibai saw Ning Hao here and asked with some surprise, "When did you get back?"
"I came back after filming wrapped up last week."
"The filming took a bit longer this time; it's been going on for more than half a year now."
"Hey, don't even mention it."
Things are so chaotic in Thailand; coordinating venues is such a hassle.
Unlike the previous film "Lost in Thailand," this one didn't use too many locations, and coordinating locations took several days each time.
Then there's the poor security there, and there are always troublemakers when filming.
That's why it's taken so long.
"Oh? You weren't in any danger, were you?"
"Fortunately, it was just some people causing trouble, but we didn't encounter any danger."
The Thai government has deployed police to guard the area around the film crew, so there aren't any security issues.
"It's good that we didn't encounter any danger."
Since the environment in Thailand is so bad, the company will try to avoid making movies with Thai themes in the future.
"Let's see what the script is like. If there's a good script, we'll still film it."
It's a bit chaotic, but there's nothing dangerous about it.
"We'll see. You go ahead with your work, I'll go check on Lao Zhou."
Fu Yibai arrived at the "The Wandering Earth" project team.
"Old Zhou."
Fu Yibai patted Lao Zhou on the shoulder as he worked.
"Mr. Fu."
Old Zhou looked up, took off his headphones, and stood up.
"The rough cut of the entire film was completed last week, with a runtime of 168 minutes."
All the revisions you previously suggested have been completed.
Please take a look.
"Let it go."
Fu Yibai pulled up a chair and sat down.
…………
More than two hours later, after the rough cut was shown, Lao Zhou looked at Fu Yibai, waiting for his reply.
"Okay, let's begin the fine-tuning."
Old Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already evening when Fu Yibai walked out of the editing room.
He ran into Zhang Xinyu in the hallway. She was carrying an insulated bag containing a takeout lunchbox from the cafeteria.
"Mr. Fu, dinner is ready."
He took the boxed lunch, said thank you, and walked towards the elevator.
The office was brightly lit.
Fu Yibai placed the boxed lunch on the coffee table, turned on his computer, and began to look through the concept design drafts sent by Lucas.
The internal structure of the Star Destroyer has been revised twice, and the armor of the New Order Stormtroopers has undergone material upgrades...
After reviewing the design draft, Fu Yibai gave a few comments, then closed his laptop and started eating dinner.
After dinner, Fu Yibai worked for more than an hour before packing up and going home with Zhang Xinyu.
Back home, Li Dabai and Gulnazar have already gone back to work.
Qin Lan, on the other hand, finished filming.
When he entered, he saw Qin Lan squatting on the ground, helping Jing Chen learn to walk.
