Chapter 603 - Sloth Apartments Documentary (1/2)

August 4th, Thursday…

The construction in the Binhu District was basically completed!

Block 8 and 9 had 180 degrees curved floor-to-ceiling windows facing the park and the artificial lake. Nothing could be seen from outside, but the scene inside the room was already a world of difference!

The Shundong Gardens Residential-Commercial Building was completed earlier since there was no need for hard installations. However, the changes were not as obvious there.

Liang Qingfan was at the top floor of Block 8 in the Binhu District and looked at the room that had been largely renovated. There was only one feeling in his heart: he did not fail in his mission!

Boss Pei gave him so much money for renovations, where was his pride as an architect if he could not do a good job?

The construction team was still finishing up.

Liang Qingfan had just inspected the 30 odd houses in Binhu District and found some minor problems where he was arranging for a construction team to resolve. They were all in their own industry so they had to be as dedicated as possible to ensure that all rooms were all up to standard.

In addition, Liang Qingfan also strictly followed the requirements of Boss Pei. They used as many environmentally-friendly items for renovations and furniture as possible. There would definitely not be any situation where there was excessive formaldehyde; everything would meet national standards.

During the renovation period, the videographers who came to shoot from time to time had a large number of high-definition video materials waiting to be edited later on.

Liang Qingfan had already decided whom to send for editing.

Send them directly to Fei Huang Workspace!

Fei Huang Workspace was Tengda’s own industry. It did not matter how much money they would spend since it was a left pocket, right pocket issue. Liang Qingfan mainly felt that Fei Huang Workspace would definitely be more careful than other companies.

Collecting materials for a video might be important, but editing and post-production were even more critical.

The cameraman had recorded all key points of the renovation process, but the orders of shots were messy and unorganized.

Moreover, for a video to be liked by the audience, they must be concise enough on the premises of substantial content and should also be very particular about the order of a narrative. Different ways of expression would convey completely different meanings to the audience.

Therefore, Liang Qingfan intended to visit Fei Huang Workspace first, hand over these video materials, and carefully discuss the video editing requirements. He would then ask Boss Pei to come over to see if the renovations were in line with his wishes.

The main reason was that editing could not be completed in a day or two. It had to be arranged in advance. Changes in the follow-up requirement could be raised at any time if there was a need.

Liang Qingfan brought the video data recorded by the cameraman and the portable hard disk and went directly to the office of Fei Huang Workspace.

…

At this time, Fei Huang Workspace was still struggling with what sort of small project it should undertake. Boss Pei gave them a little over a month. It was very difficult to make something very visible.

The point here was that there was no goal.

Even a short video had to first be creative and had a general direction. Therefore, everyone had to think about ideas, work on the script, find actors, and set the scene to prepare for shooting—plus editing and post-production…

Time was not enough no matter how they looked at it.

Of course, they could definitely make it if they did not bother about quality and just did it casually. The problem was that Fei Huang Workspace was now well-known. The short videos, documentaries, and movies they made in the past were all received with enthusiasm. Would they not be tarnishing their own brand if they were to make something random?

What was more, everyone had been in ‘shock’ for so long, and they were all dying to show that they were worth their salt. Ordinary projects were simply not even considered.

Therefore, this matter became awkward. They did propose several plans, but they were shelved because they could not meet everyone’s demands.

Huang Sibo was very helpless as well. Both he and Zhu Xiaoce were decision-makers. It was very distressing to kill several projects in a role, but there was no other way to ensure the quality of their work.

However, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce also understood the meaning of shock therapy that Boss Pei gave everyone.

Huang Sibo threw several plans on the table in the office and massaged his throbbing temples. “As expected, I was too optimistic previously. A small test from Boss Pei is enough to stump us.

“We all feel like we are superior before the ‘shock therapy’ since our movie was doing very well and obtained rewards, every one of us became conceited. After the shock therapy, we feel that we have laid a solid foundation and accumulated inspiration and great ambitions.”

“However, we have no idea now after Boss Pei asked us to make a small and beautiful project in a short time!”

Zhu Xiaoce nodded. “Yes, because inspiration and direction are really too important.

“Our projects succeeded previously because we had good inspiration and direction. We could add bricks and tiles to build the skyscraper.”

“Moreover, these inspirations and directions were mainly from Boss Pei. We are at a loss now that Boss Pei is silent.”

Right that moment, a knock came from outside the office.

“Brother Huang, there is a gentleman named Liang claiming to be the person-in-charge of Boss Pei’s Sloth Apartments project, he wants to discuss cooperation with us,” The staff said.

Huang Sibo was taken back but immediately replied, “Get him in!”
