Chapter 112 Overspending

Xu Rui didn't rush to think about the song, but called Yan Ran.

Yan Ran was busy with post-production in the studio, but it was more convenient to answer the phone than during the shooting.

"Huh!"

"???" Hearing a little anger on the phone, Xu Rui wondered, "Are you still angry? Are you so vindictive?"

"No, there are mosquitoes in the room. I forgot to buy mosquito coils and didn't sleep well." Yan Ran said that she was in a bad mood after waking up until now.

"Where did it bite?" Xu Rui asked with concern.

Yan Ran said unhappily: "It didn't bite the place you were thinking about."

"???" Xu Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What was it that he was thinking about? He was such a serious person!

Yan Ran deliberately threw some emotional garbage at Xu Rui, and found that she was in a much better mood, so she asked: "What do you want from me?"

Xu Rui explained: "The program team hopes that we can ask our relatives and friends to record some support videos."

"Of course, I can't be left out." Yan Ran asked hurriedly, "When do you want it? Is there a time limit for the support video? What are the requirements?"

Xu Rui repeated Zhao Yan's requirements to her: "30 to 60 seconds will be fine. It's probably about introducing what kind of person I am in my daily life, and then cheering me up."

"Got it, I'll record it and send it to you."

"OK, don't forget to buy mosquito coils when you go back tonight."

"Got it!"

After chatting with Yan Ran, the next person to record the video was naturally Li Chuanping, but Yang Hui's team recently started producing a new variety show, and he was also busy, and I didn't know if he had time.

"Sorry, the user you are calling is busy!"

The call was hung up. After a while, Li Chuanping sent a message: "I'm in a meeting, what's the matter?"

Xu Rui said briefly: "Record a one-minute support video."

Who knew that this guy's focus was not on support at all, and replied excitedly: "I'm going to be on camera?"

Xu Rui didn't mind discouraging his enthusiasm: "Don't worry too much, it's just a few seconds, you will be forgotten before the show is over."

"Then should I do something to make them remember me?"

Seeing that he was still very persistent, Xu Rui helped him with advice: "Women's clothing?"

"That won't work, it's a lifetime of fame."

"Remove the human form and reveal the real body?"

"Get lost!"

"You have a lot of problems." Xu Rui didn't want to talk to him anymore, "Record or not, if not, I'll find someone else."

"Nonsense, of course, wait."

After contacting the two people, Xu Rui went to eat, and went back to his room in the afternoon to think about the song. After thinking for a while, he went online to check the comments.

His Weibo account showed that he was online, so he was discovered immediately. Many people took the opportunity to send him private messages.

Xu Rui didn't read the private messages, but went to the "一见cp" super topic to take a look. Unexpectedly, someone was really discussing the new song selection.

"Isn't Xu Rui's first love Yan Ran? It must be a sweet song!"

Xu Rui hummed in his heart: "Okay, sweet songs pass, I just like to go against you!"

"Teacher Bai Maojie said before that Xu Rui wrote songs from the perspective of narration, not from his own perspective. I wonder how he can hide this time."

"Didn't a marketing account say that Shenghua Entertainment was going to give Xu Rui a big-picture personality? I really want to see how big the proposition of "first love" is."

Xu Rui was a little confused. The marketing account was really tireless in spreading rumors. Lu Ziliang didn't tell him about the establishment of a personality, and a big-picture personality? Is this going to kill him!

How can anyone hold up to such a personality? He is just an ordinary person, and he can't stand this shock.

In addition to his affairs, the news that Yan Ran's crew had finished filming was also dug out. However, compared with him, Yan Ran's popularity was only focused on CP, and not much attention was paid to her career. Only fans were curious about when this low-budget movie would be released.

In the studio, Yan Ran devoted herself to the post-production work. Except for the one related to Xu Rui, she basically ignored the outside voice.

On the first day of post-production, she found some problems that needed to be considered immediately.

Because the entire movie was almost completed indoors, the live sound recording effect was very good, and there was almost no need for dubbing. The live sound recording would also make the drama more realistic, but she faced a problem. If Chinese did not need to be dubbed, what about English?

If you want to participate in a low-budget independent film festival abroad, you have to dub in a foreign language. Even if you are too poor to dub, you must have foreign language subtitles.

It is not cheap to find a professional film translator with a high level of translation. The cost during the shooting has been a little overspent. From this point of view, the budget for post-production may also be overspent.

In the gap, Yan Ran stared at the budget table on the computer, a little distressed.

Du Xiao came over and snapped her notebook shut: "Don't look at it, it's normal to overspend. Don't say you're a rookie director, big directors often burn through their budgets in advance and ask for additional investment."

"I know." Yan Ran was a little unwilling. An excellent director must have the ability to complete the filming within the budget. She has always had high requirements for herself.

Du Xiao sat next to her, pulled over the laptop, took a look at the budget and actual expenditure, and said: "It's not much difference, ask Xu Rui to borrow it."

Yan Ran nodded: "Yeah."

Du Xiao said "Huh", "It's not easy for you to do this without thinking."

Yan Ran looked at her: "What are you talking about?"

Du Xiao snorted: "You don't like people who owe favors to others. As your best friend, I want to lend you money, but you said "No, it's not good". Now you can ask Xu Rui for help frankly, which means something, it means..."

Yan Ran interrupted her: "It means you talk too much. If you are bored, help me find a movie translator with high level and low price."

"Your request is really simple." Du Xiao said sarcastically.

"Stop talking nonsense." Yan Ran drove her away and called Xu Rui to explain the budget overrun.

Xu Rui was singing "Me in the North of Time" in the dormitory at this time. The lyrics of this song are a very gentle confession, but the melody has a passionate feeling. He is hesitating whether to choose this song.

The phone rang, he picked it up and answered it immediately, smiling: "You miss me again so soon?"

Yan Ran said: "I miss you, but I called for something else."

"About the movie?"

"Well, the budget has exceeded." Yan Ran didn't beat around the bush.

Aware of her subtle emotional changes, Xu Rui encouraged her: "Why do you sound a little discouraged? It's just that the budget has exceeded. You won't be depressed because of such a small thing. Give me your card number and I'll call you later."

"Well, I will pay it back..."

"Stop, it's my investment, and I'll share the profits when the movie is released. Okay, by the way, listen to the song I'm going to sing in the next episode, and give me some advice?"

Knowing that Xu Rui didn't want her to have too much pressure, he deliberately changed the subject. Yan Ran smiled and said: "Okay, you sing and I'll listen."

"You don't know the color of the wind

You don't know the outline that has been blown away

You don't know me on the other side of time

My thoughts are walking across the galaxy

..."
