China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 264 The Media Quest
Of course, everything that happens at my girlfriend's house is for my future mother-in-law to see.

Liu Yifei herself has long been aware of this. Whether it was when she first received the script from He Hua or when she participated in the crew's preparations in advance, she had already realized that in order to complete this heroine movie, she had to Pay a lot.

He Hua also felt sorry for her. During the process, he also proposed to shoot this section by switching lenses, editing and other post-production methods, but Liu Yifei refused.

She couldn't complain because it was her choice.

Xinxin helped Liu Yifei go down to rest. After vomiting, her eye makeup was a little blurred, and the makeup artist needed to re-apply the makeup. The camera position and scene lighting also had to be readjusted.

About an hour later, the set quickly cleared under the assistant director’s greeting:
Liu Yifei walked in and sat down again in her previous position. She looked up and saw He Hua, who was holding the A camera, looking at her with some worry. She smiled sweetly.

It’s still a two-camera shooting, with He Hua’s A camera and Cao Dun following with his Steadicam B camera.

There is not too much complicated lighting in this scene, and it is all achieved by modifying the light source on site.

Some people had previously suggested using artificial light or post-production special effects processing, but both He Hua and Lao Mouzi felt that this would make the film look unrealistic, so they would rather spend more effort to create real light sources.

"ACTION!"

He Hua watched Liu Yifei finish a glass of water and put it on the table in front of the camera, and then looked down at the wound where Yin Ziwei had shot him.

It was only at this time that the camera showed her upper body, and a bloody wound appeared on her white T-shirt.

I saw Liu Yifei frowning slightly. While chewing food, he raised his left hand and dug into the wound with his fingers to pull out the bullet.

Then put the bullet directly into the water glass just now.

"Crack!"

He Hua looked at the close-up of the wound just now. After confirming that there was no problem, he immediately asked someone to change the water cup and take another close-up of the bullet falling into the water cup.

It took until night to finish filming this scene.

After the shooting, He Hua made arrangements for the next day and asked Cao Dun to take charge of the communication meeting in the evening, while he ran to his girlfriend's side.

Liu Yifei had just finished taking off her makeup.

The two of them went out and got into their cars, without the assistant or anything.

"Go to the hospital and check it out. I've checked. It's very bad for your stomach to induce vomiting like this. Let the doctor see if you need to take some medicine or something."

"No, it's okay. It doesn't happen often." Liu Yifei was a little tired. She just lay down and didn't want to move when she got in the car. Now she just wants to go home and have a good rest.

The advantage of shooting in BJ is that they can go home if they want at night, and sometimes they can also find time to make appointments and go shopping.

However, He Hua didn't listen to his girlfriend's words and turned directly to the Union Medical College Hospital.

"There seems to be no problem at the moment, but try not to use this method. It can easily cause stomach inflammation and eat something light these days."

"Okay, we got it, thank you doctor."

At 11 o'clock in the evening, He Hua and Liu Yifei left the hospital holding hands. Liu Yifei kept complaining along the way:
"I just said it's okay, I have to come."

He Huajian said: "If you don't look at me, how can I feel at ease? And our mother, go back and tell her and ask her to cook some porridge for you these days."

Liu Yifei leaned on her boyfriend's shoulder and listened to his chatter, feeling particularly at ease.

But neither of them noticed that there was a camera in the corner facing them.

The two paparazzi were excited and wanted to cry: "Modan, after following us for so long, we finally have some breaking news."

"No, the bits of news about the two of them are becoming less and less valuable during this period. I'm thinking of changing careers."

These two paparazzi have been following He Hua and Liu Yifei for a long time. They could live off their street photos before, but now even gossip magazines think their things are worthless and are unwilling to give them a price. They are worried about this. What should I do? As a result, He Hua and Liu Yifei were photographed entering the hospital for a check-up tonight. This is really the only way out for them.

One of them looked at the younger one and asked, "Should we send it to their company first, or should we sell the magazine directly?"

The older man's eyes shone with a strange light: "Of course I have to give them the company first. These celebrities are quite willing to give up this kind of privacy. Maybe we can get rich this time."

"Hey hey hey."

"Let's go, let's get in the car. We'll go directly to Youhua Company tomorrow. What are you going to do if you have money?"

"I want to visit Dong G."

"."

Their vision was great, but they hit a brick wall at the first door.

When they were politely asked out of the company by the public relations manager of Youhua Company, their hopes of making big money were completely dashed.

"Please don't spread rumors. We will pursue legal responsibility for spreading rumors."

However, the next day all kinds of unfounded and speculative messages appeared in various media newspapers and periodicals:
[He Hua took Liu Yifei to the hospital late at night, suspected of being pregnant]

["Super Body" may die prematurely, the heroine Liu Yifei is suspected to be pregnant]

[A-list actress received an invitation to change her role in the 4-million-dollar blockbuster "Super Body"? 】

He Hua was speechless when he saw the news. It was really a picture at the beginning, and the content was all edited.

And look at the use of these borderline words: 'suspected', 'terrorist'? ', it is difficult for the law firms that cooperate with their company to make a difference.

The main reason is why do so many people believe this kind of news?

He Hua's cell phone hasn't stopped this morning. Even Lao Mouzi from Group A next door called to ask if Liu Yifei was really pregnant.

Other talented and resource guys like Ziyi, Bingbing, Jingtian, and Yang Mi who felt they had the ability to compete also called, wanting to see if they could grab this project. He Hua was also convinced.

However, Yang Ming, who is in charge of the promotion of "Super Body", feels that this is a very good publicity opportunity.

Thanks to his efforts, both the parties involved, such as He Hua and Liu Yifei, and the crew have remained silent on the news.

As a result, there were more rumors, and various rumors were flying online:

Some people say that Liu Yifei doesn’t want children because she is afraid of losing the opportunity to be a leading heroine like “Super Body”;
It is also said that He Hua's family dislikes Liu Yifei and does not want her to come in. After all, Liu Yifei has had rumors of this and that before;

It is also said that the two parties are currently entering into a prenuptial property agreement and are preparing to get married.

Because in May, in the "5 Chinese Celebrities List" released by the Chinese version of the global financial magazine "Forbes", although He Hua was not at the top or even among the top five, with an annual income of over 2012 million, he was able to Zhang Xueyou, who earned 2.5 million, and Zhou Jielun, who earned 1.7 million, became the celebrities with the highest annual income and also became the topic of online media.

Now that this news has broken out, everyone has reason to connect the two.

After the matter was almost fermented, Yang Ming clarified the matter through various media and the official channel of "Super Body" on Weibo:

He directly took out the tidbits of Liu Yifei's on-site vomiting and the notarized examination results of Union Medical College Hospital. Now all the speculations gradually dissipated because they were unfounded.And related terms such as #《超体》#, #六伊菲inducingvomiting#, #星 dedicated# and other related terms directly occupied the hot searches on Weibo and Baidu.

Countless fans and passers-by went to Liu Yifei's Weibo to post comments like "I feel sorry for my sister".

"People earn hundreds of dollars a day, why do you need to feel bad for them? You don't have a lot of money in mind."

After a few days of partying, a small group of sunspots could only go into hibernation again.

When it was time for media visits in the middle of the month, there were still reporters asking relevant questions.

Liu Yifei didn't really want to talk about this aspect, but she still answered after the reporter kept asking:

"I think this is the most basic thing for an actor."

"This is the job we do, it's nothing. There are still a lot of people who earn meager wages but do hard, tiring and even dangerous jobs just to survive and support their families. I feel like I have It’s very lucky.”

Reporters at the scene were somewhat silent.

"Can you tell me how you feel about the two directors?" Sohu Entertainment reporter promptly came to the rescue.

Liu Yifei pondered slightly: "Director Yimou is a very contagious person. You can feel that he is serious about his work, as if he is his own child; and he also has a strong desire to talk, and he is in every scene. It’s carefully arranged and you have to feel it with your heart.”

"He is also very easy-going and will carefully explain every shot to everyone. He seems to know a little bit about everything, just in the field of movies."

"Right, that is it."

The reporter was still waiting for her to continue speaking. Unexpectedly, she stopped talking. The reporter couldn't help but continue to ask: "Where is Director He Hua? You haven't talked about him yet."

Liu Yifei was embarrassed: "I think my evaluation will contain my subjective feelings. You can ask other people."

The truth is that she's been sitting here long enough, and she feels that other people should be given a chance.

Okay, the reporter then found Liang Jiahui to continue answering this question.

Liang Jiahui: "Director He, he likes to have professional people around him to give him opinions or suggestions. You can always see him discussing with others on the set."

"A formidable director knows what he wants in his mind and wants that image to be shot perfectly."

However, he prefers Lao Mouzi because he rarely gets stuck on set and will let the actors perform as they wish.

For actors like them, they make a lot of preparations before filming each scene. Director Yimou's method allows them to perform better, and of course makes Lao Mouzi more susceptible to shock.

Director He Hua's kind of shooting that freezes every 30 seconds and then starts over again is really tiring.

The actors here are mainly interviewed by entertainment media, who pursue exposure and popularity, while the media that interview He Hua and Lao Mouzi over there are more professional, such as the Six Princess's "China Film Report" team.

The first thing they asked was Lao Mouzi: "What is the image style of this movie?"

Zhang Yimou: "We discussed the film's image style during the early preparations. Huazi said he wanted the tone of "Inception". We discussed it with the art team for a long time and found some reference photos, especially The scenes in Xiangjiang are very rich in tone and color.”

The reporter joked: "We all know that you are known as the 'Master of Eastern Color' and like to use color to arouse the audience's emotions. So will you maintain this style in this movie?"

In Lao Mouzi's films, color, images, and props are all important expression techniques of his image style.

There is a widely circulated saying on the Internet: "If you have watched "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou, you may not remember the story of the film, but you must remember the two women in red fighting among the flying maple leaves."

This is a typical feature of Lao Mouzi's film and television style.

In fact, the reporter asked these questions because he wanted to explore the distribution of discourse power between China's two most representative directors (the older generation and the new generation) on the specific film "Super Body".

Lao Mouzi pondered for a moment before answering: "This is a good picture language, isn't it? Of course we will make adjustments in this aspect while ensuring the sharpness of the picture."

The picture is sharp, which is He Hua's favorite style, with less filter paper and soft lenses.

The reporter quickly understood the hidden meaning in Lao Mouzi's words. He was a little surprised and chatted for a while before turning the microphone to He Hua.

"Why Liu Yifei?" The reporter was very sharp and directly asked the question that many people want to ask but dare not ask.

Damn it, don't you think this question is presumptuous?In my movies, I choose whomever I want.He Hua cursed in his heart.

"She's beautiful."

"Is it just because she's pretty?"

He Hua sat upright and spoke forcefully: "I think at least in the current film and television industry, she is the most suitable for this role in terms of influence and internal conditions."

The reporter smiled: "I think you are right."

"? Wocao?" He Hua was stunned for a moment, and then he realized: Damn, this is the sixth princess's team, this is a friendly army.

Then he was a little embarrassed and quickly said a few more words:

"We would always have a ring light on the camera when we were filming her."

"Because I want her eyes to have a beautiful light, and I want to show her beauty as much as possible."

The reporter's eyes widened: "Is the ring light placed on the zoom lens?"

He Hua: "Yes, the ring light is placed on the zoom lens. When we use Steadicam, it will also be placed on Cook's S4 lens."

"Really? Steadicams also use ring lights?" This reporter really knows this.

He Hua nodded: "Of course, but we made a special ring light for the Steadicam."

Lao Mouzi was also interested in this topic and quickly joined in:
"We asked the lighting engineer to make a ring light with different LEDs, warm light, tungsten light, daylight. We mixed and matched them and chose the colors we wanted the most."

"That must be beautiful!" The hard-core reporter said with some yearning in his eyes: "It took a lot of time to make these, right?"

He Hua and Lao Mouzi nodded together, but compared to the effects it showed, these were not worth mentioning.

"I really want to see this movie in an IMAX theater as soon as possible."

Yes, IMAX cameras will be used in the filming of "Super Body". Although it only accounts for 40% of the entire film, this also greatly increases the production cost of the film.

Moreover, He Hua and Lao Mouzi were still trying and making mistakes during this process, which is why the cost of this movie is so high.

If it is only played in ordinary theaters and the special effects are kept at a very low price, maybe it can cost [-] million yuan.

However, people all over the world are trying this way, and of course they can’t give up. If it’s more expensive, then it’s more expensive.
