China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

The brown Toyota Coaster Business Edition was driving on the highway, and the creators of "Good Dream One Day Tour" inside were resting quietly. Suddenly, a surprising voice sounded:

"Hey, our Douban score is 8.9."

"Really? Let me see what they say."

He Hua, who was a little drowsy in his sleep, was awakened by their voices. He sat up and narrowed his eyes slightly: "What are you talking about?"

The staff member said with some embarrassment: "Director, excuse me for disturbing your rest. We just saw that our movie has been rated on Douban. The score is quite high, so we are a little excited."

"Really? Let me see."

The staff member quickly handed over the notebook in his hand.
The Douban score of "A Day Trip" is as high as 8.9. Although this is just the beginning and it will definitely drop as the number of reviews increases, this movie is likely to set a new high in the reputation of He Hua's works.

At present, the highest among his film works is "The Orphan", with a score of 8.2.

He Hua looked through the comments, and the sentence that left the deepest impression on him was:
"A man's love is always the same, and he always likes the young."

From this perspective, it seems that this is true. You see, even if Zhou Beiyan gets divorced, they will always find an old man. As for Yao Yuan, Zhou Bei is not pretty enough, but he is young enough. He should be liked by an old man.

He Hua put down the computer speechlessly, took out his mobile phone and looked through the messages of the past few days:
My girlfriend has joined the cast of "Super Body" and is getting familiar with green screen shooting under the leadership of director Yimou.

Later in the movie, Lucy's brain power breaks through the limit, and she begins to travel through one era after another, retreating from a country with advanced technology and tall buildings to an era with few buildings and little civilization, to primitive society, the age of dinosaurs, and finally to the ancestor of mankind - —Ape, touching fingers.

These special scenes often require the construction of complex and interactive 3D background models, and then complete the shooting through green screen cutout. In order to achieve the desired effect as much as possible, the actors need to practice in advance.

In addition, in order to make the movements in the movie more natural and smooth, the combination of mobile photography, smooth lenses and handheld shooting is essential.

At the same time, when it comes to the choice of camera, they decided to try the new F65 released by Sony last year. The pictures it shoots are more natural than other types of cameras, and it also has certain advantages in the interpretation of skin tones and the true restoration of global colors.

These are things that the crew needs to be familiar with and master in advance.

"Zootopia" has also been scheduled and will be released simultaneously worldwide on July 7. After "Zootopia" is released, Blue Sky Studio will also bring "Continental Drift", the fourth part of the "Ice Age" series. 》.

He Hua took a look at the box office of animated movies these days. In the past week from June 6.4 to June 6.10, "Madagascar 3" was released for three days, with a global box office of US$6040 million, ranking first at the box office.

Judging from this data, he can really look forward to the results of "Zootopia".

Then there is Xue Xiaolu's "BJ Falls in Love with Seattle".

The investment in the film was not large, only 3500 million, but it was directly divided up by several companies at a premium. Not only did Youhua's 20% share cost nothing, but he also made a profit of 700 million.

No way, this project has received widespread attention in the industry since its inception. Who knows that her last work was "3.78 Days Out of Love" with a box office of 33 million yuan.

The actors selected include Tang Wei, Yu Hewei, Wan Qian, Zhang Yao, Li Qihong and others.

Wan Qian, Zhang Yao or Liu Yifei were the ones holding the strings.

The movie is currently in the preparation stage and is expected to start filming in July or August.

The crew arrived at Shandong Yant in the morning.

He Hua found a hotel and slept for a few hours. The actor had to attend a local TV station's program recording.
Let's go to the theater together in the evening to surprise the audience.

After the activity ended in the early morning, Liu Bei picked up the itinerary and looked at it. He muttered: "Qing D, Ji N, Yan T" and then clapped his hands: "Shan D's trip is finally over, next is Shan X and Shaanxi It’s X.”

As she spoke, she pulled He Hua in the front row: "Director, let's go to your hometown next. Can we take a rest? The TV station is recording?"

He Hua heard this and interrupted with a smile: "I'm sorry, we have no arrangements at Shanx TV Station, so you will still be the main force from now on."

There is no way, they Shanx people basically don't watch the Shanx channel very much. Even if they do, it is only for the elderly at home to watch the emotional columns of Yellow River TV or the Landlord Competition.

Young people don't want to watch it at all, so there is no need to appear on the show.

However, his reputation in his hometown is pretty good, so he can visit more theaters.

In the third week of the movie's release from June 6.11 to June 6.17, "One Day" once again received a box office of 5800 million, with a cumulative box office of 3.09 million.

This was beyond He Hua's expectations, so he took a look at the upcoming itinerary and quickly decided not to follow him anymore. "Super Body" was already pushing them hard.

From the sofa to the balcony, and finally back to the bedroom.
The two hadn't seen each other for a while, so a little farewell was better than a newlywed, so naturally they couldn't control themselves.

"Why don't you rest at home for a while? Everyone is still getting used to it anyway."

He Hua shook his head and replied without even wanting to open his eyes:

"Forget it, I have to go in in advance and get used to it, otherwise I might even make a joke when the filming comes."

"How are you, are you adapting to this period of time?"

As a drama with a female protagonist, "Super Body" naturally has much higher requirements for the heroine than normal movies. In particular, it requires some action scenes and filming techniques that she has never been exposed to before, which requires Liu Yifei to adapt and learn.

"I have no problem. Director Yimou has tried a few things these days. I asked him and he said the results were good. Next."

Liu Yifei was excited to speak, but she didn't hear a response for a long time. She tilted her head and pushed her boyfriend with her hand. Well, He Hua had already fallen asleep.

She used her toes to hook the thin summer blanket on the edge of the bed and covered it with her boyfriend. Then she got up to clean up and got into the bathroom.

The next day.

He Hua did not follow Liu Yifei directly to the China Film Digital Studio where "Super Body" was located, but instead went to the company first. Yu Jiajia, the person in charge of Youhua's "Super Body" project, was already waiting here to do some work for him. report.

"Morgan Freeman finally refused to lower the price, so we turned to the Michael Caine you mentioned. He is much easier to talk to than that nigger."

"Michael Caine plus Paul Walker, the two of them are worth a total of $1600 million."

1600 million U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, is more than 3000 million U.S. dollars. He Hua is still a little heartbroken, but compared with the previous [-] million U.S. dollars, this price is not unacceptable.

Yu Jiajia saw that the boss's face didn't change much and continued:

"We also discussed the budget with several investors. Because of this additional expenditure, everyone agreed to invest an additional RMB [-] million and share the amount proportionally."

So now the total investment in "Super Body" has reached 3 million, and I don't know if the budget for the special effects will be enough. If the budget exceeds the budget, the investment may increase. Isn't this going to 4 million again? He Hua Some headache.Forget it, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.He Hua continued to look at the expenses during this period and asked casually:

"Have the other roles been decided?"

For this big project, every aspect must be prepared. Even a character who appears in only two or three scenes must be arranged in advance. What if something goes wrong if you wait until filming and randomly find two extras?If you delay for one day, dozens or millions will be lost.

"It has been arranged." Yu Jiajia quickly opened the cast list: "In addition to Xie Tingfeng, who has been scheduled to guest star, we also found Shi Xingyu and An Zhijie to be the thugs under the gangster, and Yin Ziwei played the role of the one who violated Lucy. The gangster who kicked her in the stomach, and Tan Nao as Lucy's roommate."

He Hua raised his hand after hearing these familiar names: "Wait a minute, how much do these people get paid?"

""Super Body" is a very rare opportunity for them, so"

Next, it was not necessary for Jiajia to say that he understood. The salary must be very low, but that's right. Even someone as big as Ting Feng didn't get paid. As for the others, Liu Yifei's salary was 500 million yuan, but the money was directly made. The investment amount is included in the total investment; Tony Leung's salary is 150 million, and Chen Xiao's 100 million. Of course, these figures are discounted. There are also crew members. He Hua hopes that the total figure can be controlled within 10% of the investment.

He Hua rushed to the set in the afternoon.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Zhang Yimou, Zhao Xiaoding, Cao Dun, Zhou Shen, and Liu Lu discussing something around the camera. Liu Yifei was sitting in front of the camera with a blank look on her face, which was funny to watch.

He Hua walked forward cheerfully and said hello: "What are we discussing? It's so intense."

Several people turned their heads and saw He Hua, and immediately said hello:

"Director" "Director He"

"Hua Zi, you are finally here."

Director Yimou immediately pulled He Hua over and told him about the attempts and problems during this period: "What do you think we add a sliding lens here?"

Zhou Shen immediately stood up and expressed his opposition:
"I think Lucy has lost her humanity here and is replaced by divinity. She has no emotions. And we don't need the audience to have more emotional changes here, as long as they follow Lucy to observe the world calmly and objectively. .”

Well, Zhou Shen's consideration is more based on the plot. The sliding camera does not have any effect on strengthening or drawing away emotions, whether it is the hearts of the audience or the characters in the camera.

From the perspective of time and space, because the center of the shot remains unchanged, it is always Lucy, the hostess. If you want to switch the camera, it will inevitably affect the subsequent plot.

Taking this into account, He Hua still supports the views of Zhou Shen and others. Of course, he does not deny Zhang Yimou blindly, otherwise he would look like a power grab when he first came here:
"First make it according to the original script, and then let the special effects team add a few shots. Let's try it out and see how it works."

Only then was Zhang Yimou satisfied. He felt that it would be a pity if he didn't try more with such a good opportunity.

He Hua leaned over and bent down to see the effect of the Sony 4K camera F65 that they spent a lot of money to buy. At the same time, he also asked several people for their opinions:
"How are you? Are these machines comfortable to use?"

Under the camera, Liu Yifei was no longer at a loss. She watched her boyfriend look at her through the camera and winked at him mischievously. Unfortunately, He Hua didn't notice that he was constantly pressing buttons to adjust the light color.

"It's easy to use. The money was spent right this time. It's easy to use. And with 4K resolution, we will have more advantages in details."

He Hua played with it for a while and felt it was very smooth. He stood up and touched it and couldn't put it down. He said, "I bought too little, so I should get one for myself."

Several other people laughed, and men can quickly become familiar with each other if they share the same hobbies.

Liu Yifei on the other side was a little angry: This guy only has work in his eyes.

In the next half of June, He Hua took root in the studio.

Every day, he either studied the shooting and production with the photography team and the special effects team, or held meetings to coordinate the production. In fact, Director Yimou had already laid the foundation for him before this. Director Yimou was responsible for the shooting of Group A, mainly some literary dramas; what about Group B? Hua is responsible for the special effects and actions, etc. The time of both parties can be coordinated with reference. By the end of the month, it will basically be completed.

"Now, pour some tea for you."

Liu Yifei handed the thermos cup to He Hua, which contained Pu'er.

He Hua took it and unscrewed the cap and drank it.

Liu Yifei shook her head speechlessly. Her boyfriend had such a habit. He had to drink tea very hot, not even lukewarm. She didn't know how she could drink such hot water.

He Hua put down the cup and turned around to see his girlfriend's black hair. He put his hand up and stroked it.

"Don't make trouble, there are so many people." Liu Yifei turned to avoid it.

"You're really not sad, are you?"

Liu Yifei: "What's so sad about that? It's not like I'm going bald, and it's not like I won't be able to grow it out. I just have to cut my hair short."

She looked up and down, as if she understood her boyfriend's thoughts, and said angrily: "Why do you have so many bad thoughts?"

He Hua:? ? ?I didn't say anything.

In the drama "Super Body", long or short hair actually does not affect the plot, but considering the character setting, they already wanted this character to present to the audience a beautiful, sassy, ​​and aggressive feeling at the same time.

The stylist decided to give Liu Yifei a short hair style.

He Hua and Zhang Yimou also felt that short hair was more suitable after seeing the character styles made on the computer.

So Liu Yifei's long hair needs to be cut off.

Last day of June.

The official Weibo of "Super Body" took the lead in taking action and directly released Liu Yifei's latest look.

In this makeup photo, Liu Yifei has slightly curly ear-length short hair, a small white suspender on her upper body, and black tight jeans on her lower body. Her entire face looks more three-dimensional under the specific makeup.

Liu Yifei quickly used her Weibo to claim it: "Am I handsome?"

These two Weibo posts quickly attracted a large number of netizens to watch, and many celebrities retweeted and liked:
"My DNA moved."

"Oh my god, sister is so cool, I feel like I'm going to be broken."

"So handsome, so handsome, I love Sissi so much."

The publicity and warm-up activities of these movies also indicate that "Super Body" will officially enter the filming stage. (End of chapter)
