Chapter 244: The Poor Ask About Wealth, the Rich Ask About Directions, and the Rich Ask About Disasters.
The post-production of "The Last Race" was completed on August 24. The three production companies of the opening film and the ending subtitles were also completed, but they were not added. They were worked on together after receiving the dragon mark.
The screenwriter's name was placed at the beginning of the chapter. Even if the name was not Yang Lingyue, he would have put it that way.
At the end of the film this time, Yang Lingyue added extras such as NG clips in an unusual or retro way.
I don’t know since when, the extras at the end of the movie disappeared.
Correspondingly, as soon as the end of the movie comes out, the lights in the theater will turn on, and the audience will habitually leave. Except for some industry insiders, no one cares about the names of the behind-the-scenes workers.
It wasn't until Marvel movies began to have post-credits Easter eggs, and people gradually waited to see them, that the end credits would only be seen by a few people.
Zhou Ying began to object, saying that it would ruin the audience's thinking after watching the movie.
Yang Lingyue said: "It's okay, it didn't damage the previous movies. Most people just watch movies for fun, there is no need to think so much."
Night Courtyard No. 5
At the dining table, Yang Lingyue said while drinking millet porridge: "I'll leave the review to you."
Zeng Li nodded and said, "Yes, I know how to do it. When is the appropriate time to watch the movie?"
"There's no rush. We'll discuss it after the promotional song "Where Has the Time Gone" is released." Yang Lingyue waved his hand.
"I understand what you mean, let's make some splash first." Zeng Li responded.
"Sister Zeng, we have evaluated this song. It's not just a splash. We both worked hard to push it to the top of all domestic song charts." Yu Li said.
"Sure, you have experience in this area, I will cooperate with you." Zeng Li nodded.
The movie viewing party Zeng Li mentioned is when the producer and distributor invite theater managers and others to watch the movie.
If a movie screening after an excellent TV series is completed invites people from the TV station's purchasing department to watch the movie for the purpose of selling and selling it at a good price through bidding, then a movie screening is for the purpose of arranging the number of films.
The theaters need to be able to see the quality of this film as well as the scale and means of publicity. If I can’t say a word to you, I will rank your film first and squeeze out other films.
Everyone wants to make money. If you can bring us people to watch, we will naturally provide you with more screening rooms and the schedule will be full.
Of course in terms of investment, The Last Race was number one in October, but the lineup was not.
There is "Brothers' Alliance of Life and Death" by Liu Dehua;
"The Iron Triangle" by Louis Koo, Simon Yam and Sun Honglei;
"The Third Man" by Xu Zheng and Gao Yuanyuan
If you haven’t heard of it, that’s right, otherwise why would you grab the Double Ninth Festival time slot? This is by far the most important one. Most of the others are about rural themes and themes. After all, it’s October.
In a word: There is no one who can fight.
This kind of thing is to rush to schedule movies, which is completely a dead end for fellow Taoists, not a poor Taoist.
Even if "The Last Race" and "Glorious Fury" were released at the same time, the domestic box office of "Glorious Fury" in the previous life would not have been affected at all.
After talking about work and finishing the meal, Zeng Li put down the porridge bowl and said, "I won't see you off tomorrow. Come back early."
"I'll just ask my driver to deliver it." Yu Li nodded and said.
In three days' time it will be the Ghost Festival, and you have to go back to Dragon City to worship your ancestors. Although tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are weekends, Yang Lingyue didn't ask Zeng Li to come with him, and Zeng Li didn't ask to go back with him either.
Going back together at this time only means one thing, that is, the two of them have received their certificates.
Yu Li was a little different, but it was Yang Lingyue who accompanied her to burn incense at her parents' grave. For this reason, she hid it from Yang Wenchang and Liu Qingna, saying that she would not be able to return to Longcheng until the day after tomorrow.
When Yang Lingyue sent Yu Li back to Courtyard No. 8, Yu Li went out first. Zeng Li grabbed her boyfriend, handed him the packed backpack and said, "You can stay over there tonight. Leave directly tomorrow. Don't leave." It’s a struggle.”
"good"
While Yang Lingyue took the bag, he hugged Zeng Li and responded.
When she got downstairs, Yu Li saw Yang Lingyue carrying a backpack, and understood what it meant. She stretched out her hand and said, "Give it to me, you go ride a bike."
That night, the two hugged each other and talked a lot of common things, well, the kind with clothes on.
At 11 a.m. the next day, the two arrived at the cemetery of Yu Li's parents.
Yu Li took the rag and silently wiped the tombstone bit by bit. Yang Lingyue added incense, poured wine, helped Yu Li lay out the tributes, burned the Ming coins, and said:
"Please forgive me, second elder, and please rest assured that I will treat her sincerely and take good care of her."
Afterwards, he bowed and walked away.
Looking from a distance, Yu Li was kneeling on the ground, saying something to the tombstone.
Yang Lingyue watched for a while, then turned away and looked at the entire Longshan Cemetery, where the cries of women, the play of children, and the chirping of cicadas mingled.
It has just been two days since the end of the summer heat. "Shuowen Jiezi" says: "The end of the heat is the end of the heat." This does not mean that the heat is no longer there, otherwise there would be no mention of Qiuhuhu. Generally speaking, it is only after white dew. It will be cool.
But this is in Shanxi Province, on the mountains on the Loess Plateau, where the gentle breeze offsets part of the heat from the sun.
However, Yang Lingyue looked at Yu Li's shrugged shoulders and couldn't help but walk over. He vaguely heard the words "bringing grandson with him" and couldn't help but smile, and came forward to touch his shoulders.
"Okay."
"Well, I'm done, let's go."
Yu Li sniffed and wiped her face.
Yang Lingyue took out a wet towel and wiped Yu Li's face, which was covered with dust.
On the way back, they passed by a temple with a lot of incense.
Yang Lingyue stopped the car and focused his eyes on a middle-aged man with a pious face. He was a big leader in his previous life. Later, he went in. It turned out that this person betrayed his faith from this time.
Yu Li asked: "Do you want to go in?"
Yang Lingyue shook his head and said with emotion: "Everyone burns incense, and they all have something to ask for. The poor ask about wealth, the rich ask about the road, and the rich ask about the road. But no matter which book of Confucianism, Buddhism, or Taoism, it says to let go."
Yu Li heard what her man said, and couldn't help saying: "We can be considered to have a road to wealth."
Yang Lingyue shook Yu Li's hand and said softly: "Okay, let's go home."
Then they had a boiled fish meal outside, and then returned to Yu Li's house, lifted the white cloth covering the furniture and appliances, and started cleaning.
No housekeeping was called, just the two of them.
During this time, Yang Lingyue found many photos of Yu Li's parents when they were young, and of course some photos of Yu Li from childhood to adulthood, as well as some things written by Yu Li's father, including diaries, notes, and essays.
Yang Lingyue looked at them with great interest. It was not a farewell, but an acquaintance.
If the old man were alive, they would have something in common.
