Chapter 940 - Setting the Date to Release the Movie! (2/2)

Though people didn’t know the exact process of making a movie, they heard about how it should be done.

In entertainment news, any shitty movie would take 3 to 5 months to finish, and some would even take 2 to 3 years to finish.

The first impression of the movie that was made in such a short time was that it must be awful!

Chen Xiaogang, who drank too much at the celebratory drink party, was woken up in the middle of the night by thirst. When he got up to drink water, he picked up his mobile phone and had a look. However, he saw that the notification of the headline of the news section on his mobile phone was that his movie was finished shooting.

As he was curious, Chen Xiaogang quickly logged into Weibo with his phone and saw the heated discussion and comments coming from the netizens.

“How can they say that it’s shitty and awful?” Seeing the comments made by the netizens, Chen Xiaogang became furious.

He pinned great hope on this movie.

He carried out everything with the strictest requirement. Whether it was the acting skills of the actors or the props required in the movie, he tried his best to deliver it perfectly.

He thought that if he could finish shooting a movie in a month, everyone would look forward to it even more. And he would receive more attention and praise.

He did not expect such an outcome.

Perhaps it was because he had not fully sobered up.

With anger in his heart, Chen Xiaogang sent a Weibo on impulse.

“The movie, Yang Yizhi, is officially finished shooting today. We temporarily decide that it will be released on August 2nd in the summer holiday!”

He posted it.

Even in the middle of the night, a large number of people were shocked by this post.

Of course, those who paid the most attention to it were the other directors.

“August 2nd? Did he set the date to release since he just finished shooting?”

“Not bad. Director Chen Xiaogang is really awesome. Ordinary people cannot afford to do that!”

“Director Chen is going to trap himself.”

“He’s opposing the audience. Director Chen is indeed a top-notch director. He dares to do such a thing. Amazing!”

“Haha, that’s a good move! I don’t believe that you won’t fall this time, Director Chen. If you fall, we can get a chance to rise.”

Soon, the directors in the show business were all thrilled when seeing the news.

Being a director was different from being an actor.

An actor could make a name for himself or herself through a good movie, a good TV series, or a good character. But a director was different. Even if they rose to fame with a masterpiece, it was still difficult for people to recognize them because they didn’t appear on TV, let alone remembering them.

Generally speaking, famous directors were prominent figures among all the directors.

However, with the existence of these top directors, many young directors couldn’t even make it to the top. Without decades of experience and several earth-shattering masterpieces, they wouldn’t be able to make a name for themselves.

Therefore, while showing respect to Chen Xiaogang, the directors were also hoping for an opportunity to surpass him.

Now, this opportunity came!

This time, Chen Xiaogang was finished!

Excited about the completion of the shooting, Zhao Rulong, who had not slept all night, finally felt a little sleepy after writing his scripts for most of the night.

He lay down on the bed and was about to check his phone before falling asleep.

But when he checked online, he immediately saw the public opinion about this movie which had been finished shooting too early. He also felt upset. However, as he saw the Weibo that Chen Xiaogang had just posted, the drowsiness he felt disappeared in an instant.

“Swish.” Without hesitation, Zhao Rulong straightened his back. He was scared out of his wits and quickly gave Chen Xiaogang a call.

“Zhao, what’s the matter?” Chen Xiaogang answered the call.

Zhao Rulong asked anxiously, “Xiaogang, our movie has just been finished shooting today. We haven’t done post-production yet. There are still various editings etc. We still have a lot of things to do, and it’s almost April. You directly announce that it’ll be released on August 2nd. There are only four months left. Can we make it?”

Chen Xiaogang immediately said, “Don’t worry. Since people don’t believe in us, we will give it all and let the audience watch carefully. No matter how short the time I take to make a movie, it will definitely be of the highest quality!”

“Although that’s the case, I still think that it is a bit too rushed to finish the movie in four months.” Zhao Rulong was still worried.

“Haha.” Chen Xiaogang laughed out loud and asked, “Don’t you think that after I make this move, it will save us a lot of publicity fees?”

“Hmm?” Zhao Rulong was stunned, and then he instantly came to an understanding and exclaimed with shock. “Incredible! You’ve forced yourself and also fooled everyone at the same time. Amazing!”

“Haha.” Chen Xiaogang laughed out loud.

The next day, everyone left one after another.

There were only Fang Qiu and the others left in the shooting base.

“Beep, beep, beep…” In the afternoon, Fang Qiu, who was looking at the giant tiger in the warehouse, suddenly received a call from He Xue.

“Hello?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.

“I heard that your movie has been finished shooting, right?” He Xue’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Perfect. The thing you asked me to deal with has been settled. When are you coming back?”

“I’ll be back in a few days,” answered Fang Qiu.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” He Xue nodded in understanding and hung up.

Hanging up the phone, Fang Qiu continued to stare at the innocent giant tiger in front of him. He was at his wits’ end.

How could he transport such a big tiger back since he couldn’t bring it out in broad daylight?
