I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 159: Big Sales in North America, Scandal (Large Chapter of [-] Words)

"Hey, Mr. Zhang!"

At the same time as Wan Qingshan called him, Zhang Zhao's excited voice came from the mobile phone, "Director Wan, the box office is a big hit! "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" is a box office hit in the United States!"

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief, "Mr. Zhang, are you sure that "Loyalty and Righteousness" will be a hit at the box office in the United States?"

It is hard for Wan Qingshan to believe that "Loyal Liver, Righteous and Brave" was a box office hit in the United States. The quality of "Loyal Liver, Righted and Brave" is not bad, and it can be regarded as a wonderful movie among Hollywood movies.

But the movie scene is a bit small, and this is not the era when American audiences exclaim when they see Chinese Kung Fu.

After being baptized by the kung fu movies of Li Xiaolong, Cheng Long and Jet Li, although the United States still feels novel about Chinese kung fu movies, they will never be as surprised as they were when they first saw kung fu movies. It was like seeing the New World.

What's more, half of the action design in "Loyal Lives and the Righteous" is still imitating the action design of American action movies.

As the leading actors are not well-known in the United States, it is hard for Wan Qingshan to believe that "Loyalty and Loyalty" could be a box office hit in the United States.

When 21st Century Fox came to the door and spent US$500 million to buy the European and American rights to "Loyalty", he regarded 21st Century Fox as being taken advantage of.

Twelve million dollars!

With the distribution capabilities of 21st Century Fox, the cost may be recovered through video tapes, but it will definitely take several years.

He really didn't expect that "Loyalty and Bravery" would be a box office hit in the United States!
"Haha, Director Wan, your reaction is the same as when I first heard the news.

21st Century Fox called me before to tell me that "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" was a hit in the United States. I dared to believe it at the time.

I later found someone to check it out, and I was convinced that "Loyal Lives, Righteous and Brave" was really a hit at the box office in the United States!

Director Wan, you are going to become famous in Hollywood! "

Then on the phone, Zhang Zhao’s voice became less excited, “One week after its release, “Loyalty Liver and Righteousness” has already grossed more than 700 million U.S. dollars at the box office.

When "Loyalty Liver, Righteousness" was first released, it was only shown in nearby theaters with a relatively large number of Chinese people, and there were only more than 100 theaters opening the show.

But I didn’t expect that only on the second day after its release, the box office of a single theater reached more than 1 US dollars, ranking fourth in the single-day box office of a single theater in the United States!

Then Fox's investigation found that the audience watching "Loyal Lives and the Brave" was not only Chinese, but also white. So they began to increase the number of theaters and began to work hard on publicity.

After being transferred to the [-] Hall for screening, the box office was good during the two days of release, and the attendance rate was not low.

Then 21st Century Fox directly released it on a large scale, showing it in [-] theaters!
Because the previous release scale was small, we cannot calculate the total box office based on a normal movie showing more than 700 million US dollars in a week.

21st Century Fox estimates that the total box office should be more than 3000 million US dollars. "

Even if Wan Qingshan couldn't believe Zhang Zhao's words, he still accepted that "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" was really a hit in the United States.

As for why it sold so well, he didn't have the time to think about it. He now regretted it very much, regretting that it was sold cheaply!

However, this regret soon disappeared.

Wan Qingshan knew that he was motivated by greed. US$500 million was already very high. No one could have imagined that "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" would be a hit in the United States.

At this time, Zhang Zhao's voice came from the phone again, "By the way, Director Wan, I'm not just calling you to tell you the good news, I also have something to tell you."

"Well, Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

"21st Century Fox called me to tell me that "The Liver and the Brave" is a hit in the United States. It's not just to tell us the good news. They want you and Zhang Jin to go to the United States to promote "The Liver and the Brave".

"boss Zhang,,,,"

Wan Qingshan, who was about to refuse directly, suddenly thought of Zhang Jin and the others, so he changed his words.

"I'm still filming here and don't have time to go to the United States to promote "Loyal Liver and Brave". Mr. Zhang, please ask Zhang Jin to see if they have time to go?"

Perhaps he was shocked by Wan Qingshan's rejection. After waiting for a while, Zhang Zhao's voice came from the phone,
"Director Wan, I think it's better for you to go there. If you don't say anything else, you can go and promote it. At least it can give American audiences an impression of you, which will also help your future development!"

Wan Qingshan raised his eyebrows, lied without blinking, and replied in a very embarrassed tone, "Mr. Zhang, I can't leave here. The main event will be here soon. Once I leave, the crew will not be able to shoot."

After waiting for a while, Zhang Zhao's regretful voice came from the phone, "Well, in that case, I can only contact Zhang Jin and the others."

"Well, Mr. Zhang, if there is nothing else, I will hang up here. I am reciting my lines here."

"There's nothing else to do. Director Wan, just go and be busy."

After hanging up the phone, a short while later, while Wan Qingshan was sitting on the sofa watching TV, the cell phone on the coffee table rang again.

Wan Qingshan picked it up and saw that it was Zhang Jin calling, and he knew what it was.

After getting on the phone, Zhang Jin talked about the success of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" at the box office in the United States.

Wan Qingshan gave a perfunctory answer with some very excited Zhang Jin. After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhiqiang called again shortly after, also telling him about the success of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" in the United States.

Wan Qingshan wasn't surprised either. If Zhang Jin knew about it, Jiang Zhiqiang would also know about it.It is estimated that everyone in the circle will know about it soon.

Jiang Zhiqiang was even happier than Wan Qingshan when "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" was a hit in the United States. No, Wan Qingshan was not happy about it, and he couldn't charge more money.It should be said that he is happier than Zhang Zhao!
When "Loyal Liver and Brave" sold 35 billion yen in the island country and the number of moviegoers in South Korea reached nearly 200 million, Jiang Zhiqiang knew that he had spent 3000 million to hire Wan Qingshan to star in "The Golden Armor". Didn't lose.

Now "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" has grossed more than 700 million US dollars at the box office in the first week it was released in the United States. Even if it was not released in the early stage, his 3000 million yuan not only did not lose, but also made a huge profit.

At the same time, it also proved that it was worth it for him to spend 500 million to hire Wan Qingshan to direct "Ip Man"!

It further proved that it was worthwhile for him to give up part of the profits to let Zhouyi Company terminate the contract with Zhang Jin.Now Zhang Jin is no longer a future Kung Fu superstar, but a half Kung Fu superstar.

At the beginning, Jiang Zhiqiang scouted Zhang Jin and offered him very favorable conditions, and Zhang Jin was very moved.

Later, Zhang Jin went back to discuss with Cai Shaofen and agreed to Jiang Zhiqiang, but also put forward a condition, hoping that Jiang Zhiqiang would allow Zhou Yi to terminate the contract with him peacefully.

The liquidated damages in the contract between Zhou Yi and Zhang Jin were not high, and with Jiang Zhiqiang's financial resources, they could completely pay for it.

But Zhang Jin knew that Jiang Xuerou had always wanted to enter the film industry, so he wanted to use his contract to exchange Jiang Zhiqiang for bringing Zhou Yi into the film industry.

In this way, he repays Zhou Yi's kindness in training him, and he can get a good reputation if word spreads.

Wan Qingshan and Jiang Zhiqiang chatted for a few words, and just after hanging up the phone, Zeng Li called again.

It’s also about the success of “Loyalty Liver and Righteousness” in the United States.

After Zeng Li was happy for a while, she and Wan Qingshan congratulated each other in a funny way and then hung up the phone.

Then, Wan Qingshan got it right, and the success of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" in the United States spread instantly in the industry.

This led to Wan Qingshan answering the phone non-stop. Wang Zhongjun, the president of the film and television company, didn't have anything to do with it. He just said that there was an opportunity to work together.

Actors such as Zhou Xun and Gao Yuanyuan were different. Their attitudes became very respectful. Even Liu Ye, who could joke with each other before, also became respectful.

And some actresses who knew Wan Qingshan's mobile phone number from nowhere even blatantly seduced Wan Qingshan, and even directly said that she could go there tonight. If Director Wan felt that she was not enough alone, she could contact him. Some sisters!

Wan Qingshan said something haha, quickly hung up the phone, and then immediately turned off the phone!

No wonder these actors are so crazy. No matter now or in the future, stars have a pathological pursuit of breaking into Hollywood.

No matter how well you do in Hollywood, as long as you break into Hollywood, your status in the country will be completely different.

The story spread in circles, and the news media world got the news.

As a result, a large number of reporters immediately took a flight to Wulong!
During dinner in the evening, Zhou Runfa said to Wan Qingshan with a smile on his face, "Director Wan, wow, congratulations, you are a Hollywood superstar!"

"Brother Fa, you are already a Hollywood superstar, I am not sure yet." Wan Qingshan replied casually with a smile on his face.

Zhou Runfa smiled and said no more.

After dinner, Zhang Weiping, with a smile on his face, went to Wanqingshan.

"Director Wan, a lot of reporters came because the crew came to shoot the location scenes. Now that "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" is a hit in the United States, a large number of reporters have come from outside.

There are so many reporters that once they rush in, the security guards won’t be able to stop them.If I just leave it alone, I'm worried something will happen.

Director Wan, look at it, should we hold a press conference for you in the hotel so that they can have news to write about, and they can go back to do business, and it will be more convenient for us. "

Wan Qingshan was having a headache as these reporters kept waiting around the hotel, making it impossible for him to go out for a walk, so he agreed.

After Wan Qingshan agreed, Zhang Weiping asked the hotel staff to decorate the lobby like a press conference. At the same time, he told reporters outside that a press conference would be held at nine o'clock tomorrow morning!

They were all willing to hold a press conference, so most of the reporters left, went to find hotels nearby, and waited until tomorrow's press conference before coming back!

Only a small number of reporters were still watching to see if they could secretly take some explosive photos.

At around eight o'clock the next morning, many reporters were waiting in the lobby. At almost nine o'clock, Wan Qingshan and Zhang Weiping, escorted by security guards, came out of the elevator and sat down amid a burst of flashing lights.

After Zhang Weiping made two simple and clear opening remarks, he asked reporters to ask questions.

The reporter who was named immediately stood up and asked, "Director Wan, "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" was a hit in the United States. Is your next plan to develop in Hollywood?"

Although Wan Qingshan wanted to say no, he knew that if he answered like this, it would add more fuel to the current heat.

So he could only reply honestly, "I haven't decided yet, but I probably won't have time in the near future. My work plan for this year is full. Whether I want to go to Hollywood to develop in the future, I will decide based on the situation."

As soon as Wan Qingshan finished speaking, Zhang Weiping named another reporter.

"Hello Director Wan, when Zhou Jielun was on the show yesterday, when he was asked about the situation of the crew of "The Golden Armor", he said that you are his master, and you are responsible for teaching him acting skills in the crew. Director Wan, what do you think about Zhou Jielun? How would you rate your talent in acting?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Wan Qingshan's eyes, and then he glanced at Zhang Weiping who was standing aside.

Needless to say, this reporter must have been stuffed with red envelopes by Zhang Weiping. Otherwise, at this time, he should be asking about the most topical news - "Loyalty Liver, Righteousness and Bravery" is a hit in the United States, but about "A City Full of Golden Armor" .

After Wan Qingshan turned his gaze, his thoughts flashed and he replied, "I am not Zhou Jielun's master. When we were on the set, we just had some discussions on acting skills. His term "master" was just a joke.

As for the evaluation of his acting talent, he won the Golden Horse and Golden Statue Best Newcomer Awards last year, and has been affirmed by many judges of the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Statue Award. "

Zhang Weiping was not afraid of others knowing that he had given this reporter a red envelope. After Wan Qingshan finished speaking, he did not name other reporters and allowed the reporter to continue asking questions.

"Director Wan, after the previous stills of "The Golden Armor" were exposed, many viewers criticized them for being vulgar and vulgar. What do you think about this?"

When Zhang Weiping was promoting "A City of Golden Armor" on a TV entertainment news program, he deliberately found a few stills of more than a dozen palace maids in semi-ferocious costumes.

He knew that this photo would definitely bring about buzz, but the promotion method of "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" made it clear that buzz means popularity and box office, so he deliberately released such stills just to get the buzz.

Once this photo spreads, it will definitely attract a lot of male viewers when the movie is released!
Wan Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly.This question is difficult to answer. If you say that the stills are okay, many viewers will think that he is a despicable person. If you say that the stills are not good, reporters will definitely report that he is dissatisfied with Zhang Yimou's crew.

"You should ask Director Zhang this question. I am just an actor on the crew of "The Golden Armor". I only do my job as an actor, which is to make good movies."

After Wan Qingshan finished speaking, he immediately turned to look at Zhang Weiping.

Wan Qingshan's reaction made Zhang Weiping know that he couldn't continue this. Wan Qingshan would get angry if he continued, so he immediately named other reporters.

"Director Wan, there were rumors yesterday that your next movie will star Zhang Jin and will be a kung fu movie. Is this rumor true?"

Wan Qingshan understood as soon as he heard this that this was news released by Jiang Zhiqiang. He wanted to use the success of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" to make "Ip Man" popular before it was even filmed!
Wan Qingshan is willing to cooperate with this kind of thing, after all, he received Jiang Zhiqiang's sky-high director fee of 500 million yuan.

"It's true, my next movie will be a kung fu movie starring Zhang Jin and Fan Bayi!"

All the reporters had expressions of surprise on their faces. They didn't really believe this rumor after it came out yesterday.

Because there are countless rumors in the industry every day, this star was invited by a Hollywood company to film a movie in Hollywood, and that star had a quarrel with the director on the set...

So Wan Qingshan and Zhang Jin collaborated again. They all thought that someone was making up such groundless rumors!

After the reporters were surprised for a moment, they all became excited. Wan Qingshan and Zhang Jin are collaborating again, and that is the second "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery"!

Then, the questions from the next few reporters were all about the new movie starring Wan Qingshan and Zhang Jin.

Wan Qingshan is also very cooperative and will answer everything he can talk about directly.

Until a reporter suddenly asked, "Director Wan, why did you not invite Zeng Li to star in your new film, but invited Fan Bayi to star? Are you abandoning Zeng Li?"
There were rumors before that Fan Bayi starred in "The Golden Armor", which was recommended by Director Wan.Director Wan, are you in love with someone else? "

Suddenly, Wan Qingshan's face turned blue and he stared closely at the reporter with eyes!
He knew from his own life that many reporters were just trying to break news and dared to ask questions about anything. He even directly interviewed Hong Jinbao, saying, "As Fan Bayi's godfather, have you ever met her boyfriend?" '

Someone also directly asked Zhang Yuqi, "Big S married your ex-boyfriend Wang Xiaofei, what do you think?" '

When Wan Qingshan saw the news, he just laughed.But when it comes to him, he wants to pick up the microphone on the table and throw it at it!

The other reporters' eyes lit up, "Good guy, you dare to ask this question, you are our gospel!"

Then, they immediately raised their cameras and took a picture of Wan Qingshan's face turning blue!
Wan Qingshan secretly took a deep breath and looked deeply at the reporter who was wearing glasses and looking at him without fear. Then, Wan Qingshan looked away slightly. He was afraid that if he looked at it a few more times, he would not be able to bear it. Stop using foul language.

"Zeng Li and I are just friends. I have known her for several years. I have known her since I was in school. There is no such thing as abandonment.

Miss Fan Bayi and I are just friends and partners.

As for why Zeng Li was not invited to the new film but Fan Bayi was invited, you should ask Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang of Anle Film and Television.

Mr. Jiang is responsible for the script, actors, and funding of the new film I collaborated with Zhang Jin on. Inviting Ms. Fan Bayi to star was also Mr. Jiang’s invitation.

Also, what you just said about having a different relationship is even more nonsense. My girlfriend Chen Yumo and I have a very good relationship. "

After saying that, Wan Qingshan was still very angry, so he stood up and said, "The press conference ends here!"

Seeing Wan Qingshan walking toward the elevator entrance under the escort of security guards, the reporters did not pursue him.

Now, Wan Qingshan is angry and chases after him, but Wan Qingshan won't answer the question.

In addition, Wan Qingshan answered many questions just now, and there is already enough news material.

So the reporters stood up, smiled at the colleague wearing glasses, and turned to leave.

After the reporters left, Zhang Weiping asked the hotel staff to put the tables for the press conference in their original positions, and he quickly went upstairs to find Wan Qingshan. "Wan Dao!"

After the door opened, Zhang Weiping immediately apologized and said, "Director Wan, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect such a person to sneak in."

"Mr. Zhang, I don't blame you for this. No one wants this to happen."

Zhang Weiping breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the filming of Wan Qingshan's scene is finished, it doesn't matter if he leaves in anger.

But Wan Qingshan will be needed to promote it later. When Gong Li signed the contract, she only agreed to attend the premiere. She had to arrange other promotions according to her working hours.

Judging from the working hours, don't worry about it. I will definitely not come. I will only come for one or two interviews at most to be interviewed by reporters.

When Zhou Runfa signed the contract, he even said that he would not come for any publicity.

If the two leading actors don't come, then the promotion of "The Golden Armor" will have to rely on Wan Qingshan, Zhou Jielun and Fan Bayi.

And based on the relationship between Wan Qingshan and Fan Bayi, if Wan Qingshan gives up, Fan Bayi will definitely give up too.How can we promote it if we only rely on Zhou Jielun?

Then, Zhang Weiping used words to praise Wanqingshan.

"Director Wan, you are still reasonable. Others would definitely blame me for this."

"Haha, let's not talk about this, Mr. Zhang. You'd better find extras quickly. The main thing is to finish filming the movie as soon as possible. Although the promotion of the movie is important, but what, the progress of the filming is not important, you said right?"

Although Wan Qingshan knew that the reporter's question was none of Zhang Weiping's business, he was currently angry, which made him feel very uncomfortable about Zhang Weiping's previous bribery of the reporter to ask about the stills of "The Golden Armor". So I specially ordered Zhang Weiping!
Zhang Weiping's expression was stiff for a few seconds, then he forced a smile and said, "Yes, Director Wan, you are right. Don't worry, Director Wan, I have already contacted the extras and they will be here in two days."

Zhang Weiping said two days, and it really was two days. Two days later, thousands of extras came to Wulong.

When the extras arrived, the crew began to get busy.

It took a few days to get everything ready, and the crew started filming.

After Zhang Yiyang shouted "Start", each group responded, announced the curtain, and dressed up.

In the monitor, looking down from the side, there are densely packed groups of actors wearing black armor walking along the long winding road in the sinkhole.

In the front angle shot, dozens of specially invited extras at the front are wearing black armor, riding horses, and galloping.

As the group performers holding the banner with the word "Liang" passed by, the camera moved slightly to the side, and the soldiers whose heads could not be seen at a glance gave people a majestic, serious black armor, coupled with the shining props and weapons, the majestic The spectacular picture is shocking.

Then - "Card, keep one!"

After Zhang Yimou shouted, he considered Wan Qingshan aside and said,
"I've told you about the theory of big scenes before, so I won't ask you. Didn't you ask me a lot of questions about the color of the picture and mirroring?

When it comes to mirroring, I like to use geometric compositions to match it. There are very few theories in this area. If you want to learn more, you have to rely on your own perception. I won’t ask you about this.

Now let me ask you about color. If you were to shoot this scene, how would you adjust the color during post-production? "

Wan Qingshan thought for a while and replied, "If I were to shoot it, I would make the whole picture darker. I would create a sense of oppression with dark clouds looming over the city!"

Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "What you think is normal. Generally, the pictures before the war will be darker.

However, during post-production, I will adjust the picture to a darker yellow and make the grass and trees in the picture slightly yellower. I want the whole picture to feel like the chilling autumn wind. "

As soon as Zhang Yimou said that he was going to dark yellow, Wan Qingshan understood, and he said with some regret,
"Director Zhang, I understand what you mean. I didn't think carefully just now. I only thought that the scene before the battle should give people a sense of oppression.

In "A City Full of Golden Armor", the background color of chrysanthemums, golden armor, and the previous battle in the palace are all yellow. The screen of this battle was adjusted to yellow so that it would not appear out of touch with the previous screen. "

Seeing that Wan Qingshan had made a mistake, Zhang Yimou's old face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum smile.

"Another point is that the soldiers on the king's side are all in golden armor. With a dark yellow background, a chilling autumn wind, and a screen full of soldiers in golden armor, the whole picture will be like a rich oil painting, which will make people even more shocked."

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said with a smile, "Director Zhang, you are always thoughtful. The dark yellow background and the screen full of soldiers in golden armor will not only shock the audience, but also more in line with "The End of the City" The title of the play "Golden Armor"!"

"Haha, I have been filming for decades, and you have just debuted. Of course I have more experience than you."

Then, Zhang Yimou suppressed his smile, looked at Wan Qingshan and sighed, "You are very talented as a director. You can understand many things at once, and you can even have your own insights. This is rare. After you have been filming for a few years, you will gain experience If you have more, I'm afraid you can surpass me."

Wan Qingshan was a little embarrassed and ashamed to be praised so much by Zhang Yimou.

He knows that his directing talent cannot be said to be bad. If it were bad, then he would not have become a gunman director by relying on wild methods in his previous life.

But if he is said to have amazing talent, that cannot be said. Otherwise, after four years of studying at Nortel, why would his directing skills be so far behind directors like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige?

His directing talent can be said to be good and spiritual at best!
It's clear at one point, and that's because he has two lifetimes of experience.

As for being able to surpass Zhang Yimou with more experience, that is even more nonsense. Although his two lifetime filming experience combined is still not as good as Zhang Yimou, it is not less.

"Director Zhang, please don't say that. You are too flattering. I know my situation."

Zhang Yimou smiled and did not continue the topic.He didn't want to say that Wan Qingshan could surpass him in the future. He just saw Wan Qingshan reacting so quickly and couldn't help but sigh!
Then Zhang Yimou changed the topic and talked about the color of the picture!
"Just now you said it would be darker, and I would be darker yellow. I hope you can remember these two contrasts. What color to use for a shot? You can't just consider a certain plot. You have to consider the entire movie. Go in.

Otherwise, no matter how well you shoot a scene, no matter how amazing it is, if it is out of touch with the entire movie, it will be useless! "

"I understand, Director Zhang, thank you for your guidance." Wan Qingshan replied very sincerely.

Although Wan Qingshan got this learning opportunity in exchange for the script, Zhang Yimou's step-by-step teaching was something Wan Qingshan never expected.

Therefore, he sincerely thanked Zhang Yimou.

After a while, the extras were ready and the crew started filming again.

After securing one line, the crew stopped, adjusted the camera position, and started filming Zhou Runfa's scene.

War scenes are particularly difficult to shoot. Except for the previous shot of the two armies appearing, it went smoothly because we only had to follow the group actors and there was no fighting.

In the rest of the play, there is either a problem here or there.I have never watched war movies, the kind of bloody battles, the kind of tragic scenes that make people sigh after seeing them. Some of them just get stuck again and again and come back again and again.

Every time we shoot, among the thousands of extras, someone always makes a mistake.Although Zhang Yimou likes to pay attention to details, he also knows that it is impossible for thousands of extras who have not been trained by the team to make no mistakes, so as long as the mistakes do not affect the camera or are not obvious, he also Will let it go.

But even so, you still have to start over again.

In the beginning, every time we were filming, there were always some extras who were perfunctory, and the fight was like a child playing with a stick.

After several such situations, Zhang Weiping appeared.

Zhang Weiping didn't curse, and with a calm expression, he singled out the few extras who had made obvious mistakes and asked the venue attendant to check out and walk in for them.Then he said calmly,
'You can take it easy, but if you get caught, you're good to go.Also, starting tomorrow, my daily wages will be increased by five yuan. '

Five yuan doesn’t sound like much!
But now the national average salary is only [-] a month, and as long as the word average is mentioned, the vast majority of people will be lower than the average figure.

Therefore, adding an extra five yuan a day is very attractive to the group performers, and they are willing to concentrate on these five yuan.

The extras were more attentive, and Zhang Yimou's shouts became less frequent, but still a lot.

War scenes do not mean that the extras can be filmed well if they concentrate on their performance. The extras may be crowded together when they are fighting, which greatly affects the structure of the picture. In addition, the matching movements of the fights and the sounds of the extras shouting during the fight. , it may become noise accidentally,,, these aspects are very easy to make mistakes.

At the end of the day, we couldn't shoot many scenes, just a ten-minute war scene, which took a full half a month to shoot. Everyone was irritated, especially Zhou Runfa, who was irritable in front of everyone and complained several times about the poor living conditions. Just finished filming.

The others felt irritated, but Wan Qingshan didn't feel irritated at all. He had learned more from Zhang Yimou in the past half month than he had learned in the previous three months.

Before, he wished he could make more mistakes and shoot for a while longer so that he could learn more.

After the closing banquet, the next day, Wan Qingshan flew back to the capital with Yandong, who had been studying with Zhao Xiaoding for several months.

After landing in the capital, Yan Dong took a taxi home with his luggage and the luggage from Wanqingshan.

Wan Qing called Duan Tong before getting on the plane. When he landed, Duan Tong had already driven to the airport.

After Yan Dong left, Wan Qingshan got into the car and asked Duan Tong to drive to the bank.

Under the control of Ye Xiang, Qingshan Cinema Line developed extremely fast. Within a few months, it opened ten cinemas in second-tier cities and attracted more than a dozen retail cinemas to join.

With rapid development, money is also used up quickly. All the tens of millions transferred by Wanqingshan were used up. Yesterday, Ye Nian called Wanqingshan to tell him that there was no money in the account.

After walking out of the bank, Wan Qingshan called Ye Suan and told him that the money had been earned.

After hanging up the phone, he called again. This call was to Zeng Li.

Then, Wan Qingshan asked Duan Tong to drive to the vicinity of Qingshan Film and Television Company. It was a small, inconspicuous company in a remote location with no signboard.

Wan Qingshan pushed the door and found that it was locked from the inside, so he took out his mobile phone and called Zeng Li again.

As soon as the phone was hung up, a little girl opened the door from the inside and invited Wan Qingshan to come in.

While Wan Qingshan looked at Zeng Li's studio, which was smaller than his Qingshan Film and Television Company and had a simple decoration style, he followed the little girl inside.

In an office with only a desk and two stools, Wan Qingshan met Zeng Li, who was dressed in simple and elegant clothes.

After meeting Zeng Li, Wan Qingshan's first words were, "Why didn't you go to the United States to promote?"

Before, Wan Qingshan thought that Zeng Li went to the United States with Zhang Jin and others to promote "Loyal Liver and Righteousness". Later, after reading the news reports, he found out that Zeng Li did not go at all.

Wan Qingshan is a little confused. Even if you, Zeng Li, are no longer ambitious, you don't need to do anything. You just need to make a trip.

Dong Xuan and Yang Junyi both went, and even Thai Tony Jaa, who only had a few minutes of scenes, went, but Zeng Li didn't go, which really confused him.

Zeng Li raised her eyebrows and said, "You didn't go too? Don't lie to me by saying that you lied to Mr. Zhang and couldn't get away from the movie. Miss Fan told me that your movie has been completed a long time ago." "

Wan Qingshan suddenly choked on his words, and then he was filled with curiosity.

"When did you meet Fan Bayi?"

“We met at a charity gala and we started chatting. When she mentioned that I didn’t go to the United States to promote, she said, why are you the same as Wan Qingshan?

Then I got curious. After all, Mr. Zhang told me that he didn’t go to the United States for promotion because he couldn’t get away from filming.

So I asked, and Fan Bayi said, according to the shooting plan, you don't have any location scenes. You will wrap up the filming after the Hengdian shooting. "

Then, Zeng Li blinked and said in a teasing tone, "Director Wan, I heard that in addition to filming on the set, you also studied with Director Zhang.

It seems that you did not go to the United States to promote it because you wanted to learn from Director Zhang. Since you, Director Wan, think that learning from Director Zhang is more important than going to the United States to promote things.

In my opinion, preparing the studio is more important than going to the United States for promotion, so I didn’t go to the United States for promotion. Director Wan, you should understand it! "

Wan Qingshan was a little embarrassed, Zeng Li said clearly, you didn't even go, so you still have the nerve to ask me!
After an awkward moment, Wan Qingshan quickly changed the topic, "I understand, I understand. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You said before that the contract is ready, take it out and let me sign it, I will have something to do later."

"Click, click,,,"

Wan Qingshan looked embarrassed and even changed the subject abruptly, making Zeng Li laugh like a silver bell.

Wan Qingshan couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this!
Soon, the smile in Zeng Li's heart dissipated a lot, and her laughter became much smaller. Then she took out two contracts from her desk and said with a smile at the same time,

"Oh, Wan Qingshan, your appearance just now made me realize that you are still the pervert you were back then. This makes you look much more comfortable than the scheming director Wan Da before you."

"What's more comfortable is that you feel happy just to see me make a fool of myself. It doesn't matter if I'm a pervert or full of scheming." Wan Qingshan complained.

Zeng Li smiled and did not continue the topic.

But when she handed the two contracts to Wan Qingshan, she suddenly thought of something, so she asked curiously,
"Hey, what's the relationship between you and Fan Bayi? You can't really be like what the news says, right?"

Wan Qingshan, who had just received the contract, rolled his eyes and said angrily, "You believe the news, but the news also says that I abandoned you!"

At the previous press conference, many journalists reported on the question asked by the reporter wearing glasses.

Many news media only reported the questions raised by the reporter wearing glasses. Wan Qingshan's answer was not reported a word, but was reported as "Facing the reporter's question, Wan Qingshan became angry and left the scene directly!" '

After this news report came out, it became popular instantly. For several days in a row, the hot posts on the Internet were all about "Wan Qingshan's love is gone." ''Wan Qingshan abandoned Zeng Li. ''Wan Qingshan loves Fan Bayi. "It's time for Chen Yumo to come out and tear up the mistress",,,,

During that time, no matter what news came out in the industry, there was no splash.

At that time, the news that Wu Yusen invited Zhou Yunfa to play the male lead in "Red Cliff" was not a big splash.
As for the news that "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" was a hit in the United States, it was already squeezed out of the spotlight the day Wan Qingshan's scandal came out!

It was not until later that the Wan Qingshan scandal subsided and the news that "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave" sold US$800 million in two weeks of release in the United States became a hot topic!

I can't help it. It's their nature. Everyone likes to read gossip and scandals. As long as there are gossips about well-known celebrities, during this period of time, any movie casting, singer release or concert, such news will not be popular.

After the gossip news about Wan Qingshan became popular, a reporter went to interview Zeng Li and Fan Bayi and asked them about their relationship with Wan Qingshan. Zeng Li and Fan Bayi told reporters that they were just friends with Wan Qingshan.

As soon as the two answered, the heat of the scandal began to slowly decrease.

Two days later, when the popularity of the Wanqingshan gossip news was almost gone, a reporter discovered that Chen Yumo was working in the Chen Group and went to the Chen Group to interview Chen Yumo.

Then, Chen Yumo said, "I believe him," which caused the news to surge in popularity, but then dropped in an instant.

Many gossip viewers have been wondering why Wan Qingshan's girlfriend Chen Yumo didn't come out to express her position. They all hope to see the news about Chen Yumo tearing apart the scumbag and the mistress.

Now that Chen Yumo has come out to express his position, the gossip audience, which had originally diverted their attention, has turned their attention back.

Then Chen Yumo's answer disappointed them, and then their attention was no longer focused on the Wanqingshan scandal, and the popularity of the news dropped off a cliff.

Wan Qingshan's words, 'Don't you think I've abandoned you', caused Zeng Li's face to stiffen, and her curiosity immediately disappeared, and she stopped asking about the relationship between Wan Qingshan and Fan Bayi.

After Wan Qingshan took over the contract, he looked at it briefly and then signed the contract.

After signing the contract, Wan Qingshan picked up a contract and said to Zeng Li, "I will be busy in the next period of time. If you want to hold the opening ceremony, you'd better tell me a week in advance, otherwise I may Don't have time to attend! ', and hurriedly walked out of Zeng Li's studio.

After getting in the car, Wan Qingshan called Zhang Zhao and asked Duan Tong to drive to South Beauty.

Wan Qingshan waited in the South Beauty box for a while, and Zhang Zhao walked in.
