Chapter Sixty: The Eve of the Premiere

  "Ah Wei, why don't you take a rest?" said Lin Fengjiao, frowning as he held up his lunchbox and looked at Wang Wei's disheveled hair and red eyes.

  "Just a moment, it will be fine soon." Wang Wei replied without turning his head, his eyes fixed on the player.

  Wang Wei slept for less than 15 hours in five days, averaging less than three hours of sleep per day. Although it's said that a serious man is the most charming, at this moment, Lin Fengjiao only felt heartache.

  "It's fine now. Quickly go and call Director Ding, let him come over and take a look."

  Because Ding Shanxi had seen Wang Wei's filmmaking techniques, when he heard that Wang Wei was going to personally edit the film, Ding Shanxi immediately asked to work with Wang Wei on editing this movie.

  But what Ding Xuan didn't expect was that Wang Wei turned out to be a workaholic, and as soon as he entered the editing room, he forgot to eat or drink and worked tirelessly.

  Wang Wei let himself go and call Ding Xuanxi, Lin Fengjiao originally wanted to persuade Wang Wei a few words, but his mouth opened several times, sighed and ran out.

  After a while, Ding Xuanxi came in from outside with this black eye circle on her face.

  Wang Wei immediately said as soon as Ding Xuanji walked in, "Director Ding, take a look and see if there's anything else."

  "Oh" Ding Xuanxi responded with a sound and then leaned in front of the player, starting to watch the film that Wang Wei had just edited.

  "Ying Lie Qian Qiu", Wang Wei borrowed many shooting techniques from modern war movies in editing. He used a lot of montage-style cutting techniques, making the battle scenes more compact. At the same time, Wang Wei gave many close-ups of on-site battles, making the battle scenes more realistic and thrilling.

  Although Ding Shanshan had seen the previous clips, he was still attracted by the film's dialogue. When he saw the beginning of the Japanese killing Wang Tiezhu's wife and villagers, Ding Shanshan couldn't help but curse "bastard". When he saw bullets flying past people, Ding Shanshan himself felt a tightness in his heart. At first, Wang Wei spent three days filming the scene where bullets flew past people. At that time, Ding Shanshan had complained, saying it was unnecessary to be so detailed, but when he saw the real footage, he thoroughly admired Wang Wei's persistence. He realized that war scenes could be filmed in such a realistic and tense way.

  Two and a half hours later, Ding Shanxi finally finished watching the edited footage.

  Looking at Ding Shanxi, her face was flushed with joy, and there were still tears in her eyes.

  Wang Wei scratched his hair and asked: "How does it feel?"

  "I didn't expect a war movie to be made so wonderfully, so realistically. Ah Wei, I dare say that once your war movie is released, all the directors who have made war movies will be ashamed and unable to show their faces." Ding Xuanxi wiped away tears from the corner of her eyes and smiled.

  Regarding Ding Shanxi's praise, Wang Wei didn't show any modesty, but instead let out a bitter smile and said: "It does look good, but you also don't think about how much manpower and financial resources were used. It would be strange if it didn't turn out well." What Wang Wei said was indeed the truth, in this era there are no computer special effects, to shoot the scenes they imagined, they could only rely on manpower and technical expertise.

  Ding Shanxi nodded in agreement after hearing Wang Wei's words. However, Ding Shanxi also knew that Wang Wei was just being humble. If others didn't say it, taking himself as an example, putting all these human and financial resources in front of him, he probably couldn't make such a realistic film either. Thinking about this, Ding Shanxi secretly sighed that once this film is released, Wang Wei will thoroughly establish his position in war movies. But his own gains are not small either, whether it's being credited as the deputy director of such an excellent film or what he learned from this film. Ding Shanxi felt that his gains couldn't be described in words.

  Maybe someday someone will say they were brought out by Wang Wei, but what's the big deal? As the saying goes, "those who hear the Tao have a before and after", those who attain it are first.

  After editing, the next step is film scoring. However, this is not what Wang Wei needs to worry about.

  And there's also a theme song for the movie. Wang Wei had already prepared it, which is the familiar "Jing Zhong Bao Guo" to later generations.

  Just like Tangshan Big Brother, Wang Wei returned home and fell onto the bed. He slept for three days straight. During this time, Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao both came to visit Wang Wei several times, finding him fast asleep, and quietly left again.

  "Auntie, let Awai rest for a while, we'll head back first." Lin Fengjiao and Lin Qingxia had just walked out of Wang Wei's room.

  "After he woke up, I told him you two had been here." Wu Xia looked at the two girls in front of her and thought to herself: "Feng Jiao and Qing Xia are both good kids. If they could both be my daughters-in-law, that would be great." A mother's stance is always consistent with her son's.

  "Well, Auntie, we'll be off then." The two girls bid farewell to Wu Xia with a smile.

  "Madam, it seems that both girls have feelings for young master." Lin's mother said to Wu Xia as she watched the two people walking away.

  "Yes" Wu Xia looked at the backs of the two people, thinking to herself, one has been engaged to Ah Wei since childhood, and the other comes to see me almost every week. And he even cooks delicious dishes. Sigh...

  Wang Wei slept for three days and didn't have a beautiful dream or a nightmare like the legend said, Wang Wei was three days without dreams.

  "Ah, so comfortable. Sleep is the greatest nourishment for humans, and it seems this saying isn't false at all." Wang Wei felt his entire body filled with energy.

  "Lin Ma." Wang Wei shouted as he put on his clothes and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

  "Master, you've finally woken up." Lin Ma said as she came out of the kitchen.

  "Lin Ma, I've been sleeping for several days." Wang Wei said with a bite of an apple he picked up from the table.

  "Counting today, you've slept for three days." Lin Mama said as she brought out a bowl of porridge from the kitchen and placed it on the table; "Young Master, drink up quickly. This is congee. The mistress was afraid that when you woke up your stomach would be empty, so every day at dawn she gets up to cook a pot of congee and keeps it warm in the pot. Try some and see if it's too hot."

  "My mom?" Wang Wei picked up his porridge and took a sip before asking.

  "We're here." Wu Xia smiled as she walked in. After Wang Wei returned from Hong Kong, he bought a villa near Neihu with an area of about 6 hectares or 4,000 square meters. Originally, Wu Xia was unwilling to let Wang Wei spend money recklessly, but Wang Wei had already made the purchase before telling his mother. His mother had no choice but to move in afterwards.

  This villa was originally bought by a Southeast Asian Chinese in TW for temporary residence, but it seems that the business has lost money and had to sell this villa.

  It just so happened that Wang Wei was looking for a house at the time, and as a result, the two of them hit it off immediately, and Wang Wei bought this villa. Originally, the villa had a garden in front, but after Wang Wei's mother moved in, she felt that the garden was not practical, so she destroyed it all and planted vegetables instead.

  Just then, Wang Wei's mother had just returned from outside with Lin Ma's grandson after transplanting vegetables.

  "Just got up." Queen Mother said to Wang Wei while washing her hands.

  "Who is this kid?" Wang Wei suddenly found a blue-eyed blonde boy following behind his mother.

  Wu Xia's son asked about the origin of the child behind him, and smiled at the child behind him: "Awen, quickly call big brother. This is Ah Wei big brother I often told you about. Didn't you say you wanted to learn from your Ah Wei big brother?"

  The boy's face turned bright red after hearing Wu Xia's words, and then he called out to Wang Wei with a slightly shy tone: "Big brother."

  "............" When did I have a cheap younger brother, and he's even a foreigner. Wang Wei's brain short-circuited instantly.

  The queen saw that her son was stunned and knew he hadn't reacted yet, so she opened her mouth to explain: "A Wei, don't you remember? This child is Lin Mama's grandson. Didn't you agree with Lin Mama that day?"

  When his mother said this, Wang Wei suddenly remembered that he was actually Lin Mama's grandson from her daughter, but how come he was still a foreigner.

  Mrs. Lin saw the boy calling Wang Wei "big brother" and quickly opened her mouth to scold him, saying: "Call him Young Master."

  The boy was scolded by Lin's mother and quickly changed his words: "Young Master."

  "Lin Ma, it's okay, I like listening..." As he said this, Wang Wei suddenly realized that he still didn't know the child's name.

  Mrs. Lin saw Wang Wei stop and quickly reminded him: "Lin Bowen."

  "Oh, I like it when Bo Wen calls me big brother." Wang Wei said with a smile.

  Wang Wei had just finished speaking when he suddenly remembered something, then glanced at Lin Bowen and saw that Lin was dark-skinned. He couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Damn it, mixed-blood, Lin Bowen, one of Taiwan's top ten killers. Has actually become my younger brother."

  But before Wang Wei had time to think much, people from China Film came, and the reason for their visit was that they wanted Wang Wei to sing the theme song "Jing Zhong Bao Guo" of "Ying Lie Qian Qiu".
