Tian Xingjian, with his unkempt hair and unshaven beard, yawned as he pushed the cart with the remaining film. He came out of the editing room in a pair of shorts without any image. After five days of work, he finally finished the film. Of course, he didn't finish it alone. When he slept during the day, he asked the editing assistant to help him link the film together. Of course, he did some of it himself.
For five whole days, it was a complete human rest and not a machine rest. That was how Tian Xingjian was able to edit the entire film in five days. Of course, this was also thanks to the help of the original version. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to arrange the editing order so quickly.
"Brother Shen Lie, I'm going home to sleep first. This is the place to add background music to the edited movie. You can add it yourself later.”Tian Xingjian yawned as he stood in Shen Lie's office.
"Kid, you really work hard. Alright, go rest well. Leave the film with me. I'll get someone to store it in the storeroom later.”Shen Lie really admired this kid's hard work. Except for the first day when he went there and saw him sleeping, this kid was working the rest of the time. He understood that this kid would usually work overnight until noon the next day. In the afternoon, he would sleep for dinner and then come back to continue working overtime.
"Then I'll be back in September. I've given my work card to Yunxi. See you later.”Tian Xingjian yawned and left.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. You're not going to watch the test?”Shen Lie hurriedly called out to Tian Xingjian.
"I've watched it countless times. I'm about to throw up. Alright, if there are any changes, please give me a call. Oh right, I'll send you a video later. It should be used for the promotional video.”Tian Xingjian shook his head. He had watched the original version countless times, and he had also watched this new version twice. He really didn't want to watch it anymore.
"You brat, we're about to take on another film. Are you quitting?”Shen Lie laughed.
"No, I won't do it. I'll just write another one next year. I beg you, brother, please let me go.”Tian Xingjian wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He was tired and sleepy. The lousy editing room had no ventilation, only an exhaust fan, and no air conditioner. If he wanted to use the air conditioner, he would have to leave the editing room and cool down in the corridor.
"Alright, alright, alright. Get lost. Don't cause trouble for me, brat!”Shen Lie laughed and threw a pack of cigarettes at him before chasing him away. He also called an assistant director to save the footage in the film library.
He wasn't in a hurry when he returned to the office. He locked the edited film in the safe before he got busy with his work for the day.
Tian Xingjian, who was wearing a pair of shorts, attracted a lot of attention as he walked out of the company. The most important thing was that there was a rotten smell around him, especially when he took the elevator. However, Tian Xingjian didn't care much at this time. He just wanted to go back and take a shower and have a good sleep.
"Taixi, what are you doing?" Tian Xingjian yawned as he left the company and sat in his car.
"I'm looking for a writing room outside! Where the hell have you been these past few days? Your phone has always been switched off, and no one picked up when I called your office.”After Kim Taehee's voice, the surroundings became quiet. Then, a stern tone came from the phone.
"The editing room. I'm done. You said that you have a big bathroom, right? Let me use it. Oh right, do you have a razor and a haircut?”Tian Xingjian touched his messy beard and messy bird nest hair in the rearview mirror. He hadn't cut his hair for nearly half a year. His original crew cut was now bangs that could cover his eyes. This hairstyle was really ugly.
"You want to use it now?" Kim Taixi's voice sounded again.
"That's right. I worked for five days without sleep and rest before I could edit the film. My body is already rotten. Is it convenient? If not, I'll go to the public bath.”Tian Xingjian pulled his hair and looked at the length. He was also speechless. He was not the pretty type. The buzz cut was more suitable for him.
"I'd love to. Alright, I'll send you the address. Go over first. I'll buy you something.”
Tian Xingjian hung up the phone after hearing Jin Taixi's words. The reason why he went to Jin Taixi's place was mainly because he missed the bathtub that she mentioned. Han Jiaren's bathtub was an ordinary one. He naturally went to the better one. Besides, he had to discuss the company with Kim Tae-hee. He believed that Kim Tae-hee would prepare everything for him, including Happy Underwear, so he started the car and left CJ's parking lot.
Soon, Tian Xingjian received a text message from Jin Taixi. He looked at the address and drove straight to the destination.
Although Ruicao District wasn't the famous Jiangnan District, there were still high-end residential areas. When Tian Xingjian drove over, he found that it was a villa area. He was even blocked outside the gate of the community. He contacted Jin Taixi and the security guard of the community before he entered the community.
Arriving at the house number that Jin Taixi mentioned, Tian Xingjian got out of the car and entered the password. He then drove in. The villa was not big, but it was a standalone villa, unlike the row villas in the United States. Tian Xingjian was not in the mood to browse. He got out of the car and walked to the wooden door to enter the password again.
After some searching, he found the big bathroom mentioned by Jin Taixi on the second floor. Tian Xingjian cursed at the bathroom. This bathroom was bigger than the place he lived in. It was really a capitalist country. It was corrupt.
The entire bathtub was as big as his sleeping place. Tian Xingjian couldn't find the so-called surfing switch at all, but he still wanted to fill it up first. If he had known earlier, he would have dawdled for a while. By the time Kim Taixi came back, he would probably have finished cleaning the bathtub for him. Now, he had to clean the bathtub himself.
He was a little regretful now. It looked like a big bathtub just now, but it was quite tiring to wash it. There was a layer of dust on it. He wanted to deal with it, but he couldn't. It seemed that this woman hadn't come back to stay for a long time.
Although Tian Xingjian was lazy, he was also a little obsessed with cleanliness. Although he was tired, he could enjoy it later. He could only bend over and work hard in the bathtub.
After some work, he finally cleaned the bathtub. At this moment, he felt that he might as well go to Han Jiaren's place. Although the bathtub was a little small, at least there was a beautiful woman massaging him. Standing under the shower and cleaning the sticky sweat stains on his body, he soon heard the sound of walking in the corridor. As Jin Taixi called him, he responded.
"Why are you here so early? The bathtub hasn't been washed yet!”Jin Taixi glanced at Tian Xingjian, who was standing there naked and taking a bath. This time, he didn't even try to hide his identity. He walked in naturally and said.
"I'm done. I'm storing water. Where's the hairdresser?”Tian Xingjian flushed the hot water, and the tiredness all over his body once again came back. He opened his big mouth and yawned without any regard for his image.
"They're all downstairs. Do you want them now?”Kim Taehee looked at the bathtub and touched the edge of the bathtub before nodding.
"Yes, my hair is so uncomfortable. Did you buy a razor?”Tian Xingjian turned around, picked up the shampoo, squeezed it into his hands, and began to wash his hair.
"I've bought them all. I'll go down and get them for you!”Jin Taixi looked at Tian Xingjian's dispirited look and found it funny. His mind was also thinking about this guy's previous image. Before he left, he picked up the dirty clothes thrown at the bathroom door and went downstairs.
" Da da da ", he was sitting on a small stool and wiping his body with a small brush when he heard Kim Tae-hee return." Give it to me, I'll help you wipe your back!"”
"Oh!" Tian Xingjian didn't turn his head and continued to yawn as he stared blankly at the wall.
"Turn around. Did you wipe your legs?" Kim Taixi's voice sounded again.
Tian Xingjian didn't say anything and turned around. However, his eyes widened as he looked at Jin Taixi who was sitting on the stool opposite him. He rubbed his eyes unconfidently and swallowed hard.
"Raise your legs!" Jin Taixi didn't react at all. As he spoke, he lifted Tian Xingjian's leg and placed it on her leg to help him wipe it.
Tian Xingjian didn't know how he finished the whole body cleaning work. He was sitting naked on the balcony and watching the strands of hair on his head fall on his body. When the cold wind blew, he reacted a little. He touched his back to make sure that Jin Taixi was still in the same state as before and wanted to turn around at this moment.
"Don't move around. Don't blame me if I break it!”Jin Taixi slapped Tian Xingjian's bad hand away and continued to help him cut his long hair.
He gulped again to confirm that it was not a mirage.
"Look at your useless appearance!" Jin Taixi cursed in amusement.
She was pushed out of the balcony by Jin Taixi and saw her squatting there and sweeping her hair on the balcony floor. She touched her head that had finally regained her short hair, then walked back to the bathroom again. She stood in front of the glass and looked around. She found that Jin Taixi's kung fu was not bad. Although he could not compare to Jin Yunxi, at least his hair was round and long. However, these were not the main points.
He picked up the razor and stood in front of the mirror to shave. Halfway through, he saw Kim Yoonhee walk into the bathroom again. He took a shower first. He knew that Kim Taehee was sweating from tiredness.
"What do you want to drink?" Kim Tae-hee asked as he washed his body.
"Anything!" Tian Xingjian could already imagine what would happen next, so he asked nervously.
"Okay, then lie down for a while after hanging your beard. I've prepared bread. Do you want butter or jam?”Kim Tae-hee said as he washed his long hair.
"Jam." Kim Taehee said.
What else could Tian Xingjian say? He only needed to nod his head. This woman was indeed exquisite and perfect. She could think of anything and could make a man especially satisfied.
After cleaning his beard, Tian Xingjian sat in the bathtub and even opened the sliding window beside the bathtub.
"We settled the background music on Monday and started editing on Tuesday. Today is Sunday, right?”Tian Xingjian asked casually.
"It's already Monday!" Jin Taixi laughed and said," Why are you working so hard? It's not like you're in a hurry."”
"The sooner we finish cutting, the sooner we'll be done. Are you going to America this time? If you want to go, book a plane ticket! The sooner we get it done, the sooner we can earn money!" Tian Xingjian said.
"Okay, rest for two days before we leave. Aren't you going to watch the test screening?”Jin Taixi asked curiously.
"There's nothing much to see. When the post-production is done, I'll probably call you guys over to take a look! The results are good. I mean, don't be in a hurry to release it. If the production is done, it will probably be at the end of September or early October. You can participate in some film festivals and see if you can participate. Japan, London, France, these medium-sized film festivals. There are also many film festivals in major cities in the United States from October to November. The most famous Chicago are the ones in Philadelphia and San Francisco. You can go and take a look.”Tian Xingjian said as he ran his fingers through Jin Taixi's long hair.
"Is it really that good?" Jin Taixi asked curiously.
"I don't have the final say on whether it's good or not. We'll know once we try it out at the film festival. The best thing is to win some awards overseas. That way, it'll definitely be a different scene in China. Although it's a bit wrong to say this, the Han people value recognition from overseas more, so no matter how good the reputation in China is, it can't compare to a casual recognition from overseas.”Tian Xingjian shrugged his shoulders.
"It's nothing, but we can give it a try. Have you told the company?”Kim Taehee didn't have much of a reaction.
"There's no rush. With Brother Shen Lie's taste, he'll call me after watching it. He'll definitely discuss the film festival with me. If he doesn't call me by September at the latest, I'll have to call him to talk about it.”Tian Xingjian said confidently.
"Then it's best to delay it. If the news comes out, the company will definitely not be willing to let me go.”Kim Taehee said as his hand slowly moved down Tian Xingjian's well-defined abdominal muscles.
Tian Xingjian swallowed his saliva and continued to smoke." Yes, if there is any news, they will definitely block it. Brother Shen Lie definitely wants to make a name for himself. This is the capital he has in CJ.”
"Hehe, is it comfortable?" Jin Taixi understood what Tian Xingjian was doing these days. He looked at him and asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Tian Xingjian replied.
"That's the only way today. If you're not in a good state, I don't want you to fall asleep halfway through. When you're in a good state, I'll satisfy any of your requests!”After saying that, Jin Taixi moved his body and kissed Tian Xingjian's ear.
"Yes!" Tian Xingjian also thought so. Now he was tired of even lifting his fingers. He was indeed not in a good state today. Although the work was full of fighting spirit, his mind was filled with the desire to sleep.
The cigarette butt had been floating in the bathtub since some time ago. The hand that was hurting Jin Taixi's chest was also slowly put down. Along with the coldness on his back...
Jin Taixi pulled Tian Xingjian out of the bathtub. They washed under the shower head again. Tian Xingjian then walked out of the bathroom. Jin Taixi pulled out the rubber stopper of the bathtub and let out the polluted clean water. However, he still picked up another source of pollution. After fishing out the cigarette butt, he threw it into the dustbin and washed his hands before walking to the bedroom.
When she came out, she saw that Tian Xingjian was already curled up under the blanket and was even snoring softly. She smiled gently and walked over to help him cushion the pillow again. She adjusted the position of his head and stopped snoring.
When Tian Xingjian came downstairs, he saw Jin Taixi sitting by the window and reading a book seriously. When he heard his movement, he put down the book in his hand and smiled at him.”
"Yes, how long did you sleep for?" Tian Xingjian stretched his arms and asked.
" I slept for two days. It's Wednesday today. Oh, it's 4:30 in the afternoon. By the way, Shen Lie called you. I replied to him with a message saying that you were still sleeping. Han Jiaren called you twice, but I didn't pick up. There were also two phone messages and three text messages. One message from Yoon Enhui, two messages from Moon Geun-Young, two calls and three messages from Sun Yejin, and one message from Kim Yoonhee. Oh, right, there's also a person called Li Juli who called you.”Jin Taixi reported everything that had happened in the past two days to Tian Xingjian.
"Not bad, you have the potential to be a secretary. It would be perfect if you could help me reply to them one by one. I'm starving!" Tian Xingjian didn't bother with the phone and asked directly. He wasn't stupid. Jin Taixi said it was one thing, but he would be crazy if he had to return a call or a message. Besides Shen Lie's phone call, all his messages were about women.
"I left some lunch for you. I'll heat it up for you!”Kim Tae-hee stood up.
"Yes, I'm going to stretch my muscles and bones. My entire body hurts!”Tian Xingjian nodded and said.
"That's the gym!" Kim Tae-hee pointed to a direction on the first floor and went into the kitchen.
While having a normal lunch and dinner at Jin Taixi's house, Tian Xingjian took some time to call Shen Lie back. As he expected, Shen Lie had watched the edited movie. Although there were no subtitles and no music, the plot alone made Shen Lie sit in the screening room and watch it several times. He still felt that it was not enough. Later, he called the other people from CJ to come to the screening room for a test screening. The result was obvious. Everyone in the company was very satisfied with the movie.
"Brother Shen Lie, how is it? Is it okay for me to take a month off?”Tian Xingjian laughed as he ate.
"No problem, but you can't leave now. Come back and finish the post-production. I'll give you a holiday until the end of the year until the movie is released.”Shen Lie said with a smile on the phone.
"Brother, I really can't. I'm in America now. Don't worry, I'll come back as soon as I'm done.”Tian Xingjian said with a mouth full of nonsense. Jin Taixi, who was sitting opposite him, rolled his eyes at him.
"You brat, alright. Come back as soon as you're done. I have an idea.”Shen Lie said hesitantly.
"A film festival, hehe. Actually, that's what I meant. However, the production speed is probably only comparable to some small film festivals.”Tian Xingjian naturally understood what Shen Lie wanted to say. He had already thought of this.
"Brat, don't blame me for calling you in the middle of the night when you arrive in America.”Shen Lie didn't know why this kid wanted to go to the United States. In the past, he would only take two weeks off during the Spring Festival. Why did he want to go back to the United States at such a critical moment?
"Don't worry, I'll definitely rush back by the end of August or early September!”Tian Xingjian said a few more words to Shen Lie before hanging up the phone. After hanging up the phone, he winked at Jin Taixi." How is it? I told you that the movie would definitely be fine. Look, CJ is so depressed."”
"What did CJ say?" Jin Taixi naturally understood that Tian Xingjian was feeling smug, so he asked cooperatively.
"Team 7 did a good job. They can produce such a movie with 1.5 million yuan. Look at the other teams. They paid so much money to film such lousy movies!”Tian Xingjian imitated Shen Lie and said the words of the distribution director to him. The two of them imitated it incoherently. However, the wonderful expression on Tian Xingjian's face amused Jin Taixi, who was opposite him, and covered his mouth with his hand.
"The total investment for this movie is only 150 USD?”Jin Taixi asked curiously.
"How could that be? The company offered 1.5 million yuan, and we found an investor to more or less get 800,000 yuan. Adding on some scattered advertising, it's about 2.7 to 2.8 million yuan.”Tian Xingjian pursed his lips. Including the exchange rate, it was less than 30 million RMB. What kind of crappy movie could be filmed with 30 million RMB? Just look at the Myths, who had invested hundreds of millions of RMB. Not to mention the money that the Chinese fifth-generation directors had invested. There was no one who did not invest hundreds of millions of RMB. In fact, he had also invested hundreds of millions of RMB. The Korean won had really invested hundreds of billions of RMB.
The placement of this advertisement was only a small part of the cell phone and the car. The furniture was provided by a real estate company. He did not pay or ask for money. He had no choice but to shoot a period drama. There was nothing in his youth, so there was no way he could plant it.
