The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1122 - 1091: Gather Your Courage and Do It!

The director from Xiangjiang just threw in the towel and left, leaving behind a mess. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Tang Qian urgently convened a meeting with the film crew.

Knowing that He Tiantian was full of ideas, he specifically asked for He Tiantian to come.

He Tiantian, having nothing else to do, came over.

Huo Yingjie had nothing to do over the weekend, so he took his kid out and waited outside for He Tiantian.

Tang Qian, Li Xian, He Tiantian, and the crew’s directors were all present.

Tang Qian looked at everyone and asked, "What does everyone think? If anyone has good suggestions, speak up. Right now, the production is costing money every day, stopping for even a day is a big loss, we can’t afford to delay."

Several young assistant directors didn’t dare to speak up.

Because they had never directed independently, they lacked confidence to speak out, especially as this was the company’s first movie and it related to the entire company’s operations.

"It’s not suitable for us to invite a film director now. Every director has their own style, especially some of the older directors in the country, who have a fixed pattern. We chose a director from Xiangjiang and a young director because we wanted to shoot something different," He Tiantian said. "Now that the director from Xiangjiang has left, with just you three young directors remaining, Teacher He and President Tang don’t wish to find another director. We were satisfied with what was shot before, hence, I hope you three can work together and complete the remaining parts, it would be best to continue the previous style."

Tang Qian nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher He’s idea is also my idea. If the three of you have any thoughts, feel free to speak up. If there are difficulties, we can solve them together."

One of the male directors, Chen Jianfeng, said, "I’m afraid we may not do well and disappoint you and Teacher He."

"I’ve been to the set before, and I saw that you were all working very hard and late into the night, you followed closely behind Xiangjiang’s Director Li Daqi, you must have learned quite a lot, right?" Tang Qian said. "I would rather slow down the progress than change the style."

Snake King, who had caused a stir with the previous director, had been silent all along, but after hearing the young director, he couldn’t hold back anymore and said, "Why are you three being so stubborn! I’ve been on the set and personally seen that many ideas and scenes were come up with by you, only for that fatso to take them and then mock and scold you. Aren’t you guys smart enough to realize that? I admit that driving away that director was my mistake, but such a person deserved it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; it’s up to you to make the choice."

After hearing this, the three looked at each other and saw hope and passion in each other’s eyes.

Another young assistant director, Lu Yong, after listening, nodded and said, "The movie we’re shooting is indeed very different from the past. If we do a good job, it might cause a revolutionary impact in Mainland China. If the two presidents believe in us, I am willing to give it a try."

"I’m in," Qin Shuang said crisply. "Actually, most of the innovative aspects of this movie were our own ideas, the new director just added some elements from Xiangjiang, and it’s different from those movies too. Since President Tang and Teacher He are so determined to produce a groundbreaking martial arts movie, we college students, who haven’t even graduated yet, should also give it a go. You have no idea how much effort and procedure it takes to shoot a film. We’re so young and given such an opportunity, we must cherish it."

He Tiantian was pleased with what Qin Shuang said, glad that she hadn’t misjudged the girl, who clearly had drive,

"Qin Shuang is right," said He Tiantian. "This is very important for our company, but at the same time, it’s also important for you. Let’s work together, complete the rest of the film, and utilize your imagination to ensure that it is as perfect as possible. My cousin, who comes from a famous lineage, can offer fight scenes that are more spectacular and full of impactful martial arts. My good friend, who is also another shareholder, designed the most elegant and graceful costumes. We have the youngest, most energetic bosses and staff members. As long as we unleash our imagination and abilities, we can surely succeed."

The three young people were greatly encouraged.

Snake King smiled and said, "Good, then from now on, let’s work hard together."

Afterward, He Tiantian was too busy to follow up on these matters, but Tang Qian and Snake King invested a lot of energy and passion in this film.

However, when they encountered difficulties, they would consult with He Tiantian, and when they faced technical issues, they would turn to Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie was usually able to handle them, and if not, he would help to find someone who could.

At first, the three young directors were hesitant, leading to slow progress, and many actors were skeptical.

But as the three directors gradually improved and coordinated with each other, they finally managed to produce a film that was not too dissimilar from the original style, and even more exciting than before.

Tang Qian was very pleased and often encouraged them.

Although Qin Shuang was a woman, she became the core of the group. Her creative ideas always achieved great results, and she had naturally taken on the role of leader amongst them.

To reach this level, Qin Shuang was busy every single day.

Even at night, she would only sleep for two or three hours.

Snake King, seeing how small Qin Shuang was, but how she burst with such great energy on set, felt some admiration.

After three full months, the entire film was finally completed.

Next came the editing.

This time, Qin Shuang and the three directors, together with the editor, personally took part in the meticulous editing process, ensuring that the storyline was coherent and lively, while also paying attention to the aesthetics of every shot.

Following the principle of keeping the best for oneself, the theme song was sung by Qi Xiaoyan, and other songs and background music were performed by various other singers.

After the preview of the film was edited, Tang Qian invited the three directors and all the board members to take a look.

If there were no issues, then it would be submitted for review.

With the review approved, it would be perfect timing for the New Year’s holiday season.

Everyone was excited as they entered the screening room; this was a movie everyone had invested a lot of heart in.

The movie screen was filled with stars, and increasingly larger words "Tang Dynasty Media" appeared—the name of their company.

The long shots were spectacular, majestic; the close-ups were delicate; the character portrayals were vivid and robust...

Especially the fight scenes, which were very smooth and fierce, capturing the audience’s attention.

He Tiantian was pleased inside; the movie was great, reaching the standards of the late 1990s.

Everyone was engrossed, captivated by the plot.

After the 100-minute movie ended, the lights in the screening room came back on.

He Tiantian approached Qin Shuang and the others and said, "Very good, quite impressive. You’ll all become famous directors."
