Chapter 582 Daily life of the crew
Needless to say, after sending Yang Ying away, the filming progress of "Legend of the White Fox" has indeed accelerated a lot.

The crew of "Legend of the White Fox" must rush to the end of August, no more than the 8th.

Because Cheng Yu'an will fly to Venice to present the award.

Venice is really miserable this year, and the starlight is dimming year by year. Alberto has no choice but to invite the Chinese Legion to support the scene.

Cheng Yu'an served as the award presenter, and Zhang Yimou's "Pain and Glory" was shortlisted for the main competition, but Zhang Yimou probably will not come to Venice.

He was busy doing The Great Wall with Thomas Tull.

In the market, the box office of "Little Times 3" in the first weekend exceeded 4 million in 3 days, surpassing the previous work.

Guo Jingming's fundamentals are still stable.

Han Han's "The Future Will Be Unexpected" stepped up the pre-screening publicity, and the re-filed "The White-haired Witch: The Moon Heavenly Kingdom" also increased investment in pre-screening publicity as a blockbuster film with laddered accounts.

The film schedule in July was much more scientific, and several highly anticipated films were all staggered by at least one week.

"Embroidered Spring Knife", which was released remotely in August, also started screenings and campus tours in some cities.

Large-scale war scenes are a test of the director's scheduling ability, let alone a fantasy movie like "Legend of the White Fox".

Guo Fan prepared for today's war scene for two months, and he lost a lot of worry hair.

But it was more difficult to actually shoot than he imagined.

Including aerial photography, he mobilized a total of ten cameras for this war scene.

More than 1000 people were mobilized.

Before shooting, he repeatedly confirmed the location and lens with the camera crew and the on-site executive director.

"The aerial photography team pushes me quickly from the back, and then you pull a long panning shot from the right," Guo Fan told the camera boss, "Give Mr. Zhang a close-up, understand? Don't be too slow, but don't be too fast either. I want that sense of grandeur, of oppression."

Guo Fan talked for a long time, and everyone understood what he meant.

Jiang Wenzai's hand was itching to death, he was so good at filming this kind of scene, he really wanted to kick Guo Fan himself, but Cheng Yu'an beat him to death and refused to allow him to intervene.

Normally, Cheng Yu'an also used him as a free guide, which would make him have a good time filming two scenes, and he himself was happy to help.

But in this scene, Cheng Yu'an said nothing to let him do it.

"You have to let him do it by himself, otherwise you won't be able to make progress." Cheng Yu'an didn't even know how to do it himself, and it was entirely up to Guo Fan.

Over the past four months, he has fully recognized Guo Fan's ability to control blockbuster movies. This person really has something on him, and he also promised Guo Fan in private that if "Legend of the White Fox" does well, the entire "Liao Zhai" The series will be handed over to Guo Fan.

This made Guo Fan very motivated.

"Okay." Guo Fan sat back in the director's chair, "Every department is ready, let's do it again. 3 2 1, start."

"Crack! No, horse, horse, horse!" There was a problem within half a minute, "How many times have I said, the horse is ready for me."

Some of the war scenes were filmed on green screen before, and now they are going to be shot in real scenes.

"Wrong! The monster got up early."

do it again.

"Crack!" The on-site executive director shouted.

Guo Fan got up immediately: "Who shouted!"

The execution is almost scared to death.

"It's pretty good, who yelled! You don't listen to how you film this, no matter how you say it." Guo Fan rushed to the venue angrily and cursed, "One click is hundreds of thousands, you pay for it! Again!"

After another ten minutes of preparation: "Okay, let's start!"

This war scene will not exceed 20 minutes in the feature film, but the actual shooting took almost 20 days to complete.

The director, producer and supervisor Cheng Yu'an swears at people on the set every day in different ways.

Filming is a very stressful job. There is no crew that does not scold people, but everyone knows that it is for the good of the show, and they will not take it seriously. If you are scolded, you have to correct it and strive to do better.

Tong Liya and Dong Zijian were scolded the most, who told them they were the protagonists.

Tong Liya has become used to being scolded by Cheng Yu'an, and instead acted as a confidant sister on the set, responsible for enlightening Dong Zijian, Liu Yan and others.

"Don't take it seriously, that's how he is, he'll be fine after scolding." Liu Yan was scolded for half a month and wondered if she was fit to be an actor. People in their 30s were scolded by Guo Fan and others and hid in the hotel crying in the room.

When Chen Zhixi brought Da Peng to visit the class, he blamed the group of gentlemen for bullying a woman.

Dapeng and Liu Yan had the best relationship. It was normal for him to visit Liu Yan's class, but it was puzzling for Chen Zhixi to come with him.

"He wanted to make a movie, so I voted for him." Chen Zhixi explained to Cheng Yu'an.

Cheng Yu'an usually doesn't ask about this kind of investment.

"He makes movies, and the Fox Factory doesn't pay for it?" Da Peng is from the Fox Factory.

"Come out. But Fox Factory doesn't have the ability to produce films. They also want to make movies, but the first movie has to rely on the production company." Chen Zhixi also has a good relationship with Dapeng. She admires Dapeng very much, so she will Decided to vote for him, "He wants to make a movie about making a movie, which is quite interesting."

Cheng Yu'an immediately realized that this movie was "Pancake Man".

It's bad, but it's really profitable. He has no objection to this kind of film, not to mention that Chen Zhixi has already decided to vote, and it doesn't cost much money, so why not do it.

Da Peng came to visit the class with an attitude of learning. He wanted to see how Cheng Yu'an made films, and wanted to ask for advice.

Cheng Yu'an had a good impression of Da Peng, who was very loyal.

It is also really kind to Liu Yan.

Yuan Shikong Liuyan was "banned" because of the bridesmaid incident, and only Dapeng filmed for her.

Moreover, Dapeng is actually quite talented, and "Sewing Machine Band" was completed very well.

If it weren't for the word-of-mouth drag of "Pancake Man", the box office of "Sewing Machine Band" would definitely be more than that.

And his next "Auspicious Ruyi" is indeed very good.

Not to mention the short film of "Mulan", it can be seen that Dapeng has talent and ideas.

He is a worthy director.

Which director hasn't made a bad movie?The opening songs include "The Promise" and "The Taoist Going Down the Mountain", and Yimou has "Three Guns", not to mention Feng Xiaogang.

As long as you don't be like Director Guo, every movie sucks.

Therefore, Cheng Yuan is also willing to communicate with him:

"I haven't filmed a comedy, so I can't give you specific advice."

"You're welcome." Da Peng smiled.

"But we have a comedy crew."

"Happy Twist?" Dapeng knew Happy Twist, "They are very popular in the Beijing comedy circle, and I often go to their plays."

"Well, their first movie is about to start. You can communicate with them. Their comedy baggage is honed out through thousands of drama performances. Learning from them should be rewarding."

After finishing the communication with Dapeng, Chen Zhixi asked him to talk about Zhou Xingxing again: "He is really a lion with a big mouth."

Zhou Xingxing broke with Huayi and took over his new film remotely.

"He asked for 2 million yuan, but he only gave us 40% and the director's share." Chen Zhixi was very dissatisfied with Zhou Xingxing's quotation. The cost of "Mermaid" was as high as 3 million yuan. , but the actor wants to use ours, he still doesn't agree, and only promises to give us a female second."

Cheng Yu'an was not surprised by Zhou Xingxing's appetite: "Give it. Zhou Xingxing's three words are worth 2 million.

"It's fine to finish this movie together. It's too tortured to invite a director like Zhou Xingxing. Unless he plays the role himself, we don't need to flatter him later."

In Cheng Yu'an's place, Zhou Xingxing didn't have the aura of childhood. He knew very well that Zhou Xingxing was a businessman who loved money like his life, and it was good to talk about money.

Calculating the money matter clearly will save you from arguing back and forth later.

Cheng Yu'an's thoughts coincided with Chen Zhixi's: "I'll talk to Zhou Xingxing again to see if I can lower the price, it's still early.

"We also have no shortage of blockbuster directors." This is Yuan Yuan's biggest reliance, without relying on individual big directors, he still has a market value of hundreds of billions.

"The studio of the Oriental Movie Metropolis is about to start construction. I went to see it. The scale is very large, and it should be able to meet the shooting needs of all our subsequent blockbuster films."

The 10000-square-meter green screen studio in Wanda Oriental Movie Metropolis cooperated with Telecom, and signed a contract with Telecom to shoot 10 films in the future.

Including the sequel to "White Fox", if there is one.
