China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 232

The prosperity of the film market continues in 2010, and a large number of film and television blockbusters have started filming recently.

At this time, the "three major beauties" were still in the "late spring cold", which eventually led to the "Korean stars" grabbing territory, and the "late spring cold" truly became "late spring Han".

Jeon Ji Hyun has joined "Snowflake and the Secret Fan", Song Hye Kyo has joined "The Grandmaster", and there are constant news surrounding Korean stars and Chinese blockbusters.

The epic movie "Warring States" invested by Starlight also held a launch conference in the imperial capital. The heroine "Tian Xi" will be played by newcomer Jingtian, and "Korea's most beautiful woman" Kim Hee Sun will play the second female lead Pang Fei in the film. .

Korean actresses have suddenly become more powerful, replacing Zhang Ziyi, Xu Jinglei, Zhao Zhetian and other actresses in mainland entertainment headlines.

Fortunately, Liu Yifei prevailed with "The Witch" and "Inception".

At this time in Gansu, the sun that was still clear yesterday suddenly disappeared today. The clouds were pale gray-white, with a slight yellowish gloom. This city almost always has this kind of weather as it approaches the Qingming Festival.

"Let's go back to the studio and shoot!"

Li Mu directed the crew. He had no choice but to adjust the shooting plan temporarily due to sudden changes in weather conditions.

"Lu Zheng is so willing!" Jiang Wen and Li Mu couldn't help but sigh when they returned to the studio from outside.

A movie with a cost of 1.5 million was invested in this way, and his "Let the Bullets Fly" only cost 1.5 million.

But the purpose of Warring States' 1.5 million is a little different from his. Jing Tian was paid 1100 million to star in this movie. In order to invite Sun Honglei and Wu Zhenyu to work as green leaves, the price was more than double their salary.

This kind of news cannot be hidden from directors like Li Mu.

This is a plan to forcefully support him!
"Lu Zheng is rich!" Li Mu smiled.

Jiang Wen shook his head, Damn, he spends money making movies, but there is someone who spends more money than him.

Recently, this year's first 3D movie, "Alice in Wonderland," was released in the mainland and grossed NT$2000 million on its first day.

This makes some domestic film companies envious.

Hollywood animated films have fully entered the 3D era.

But the hottest word inside and outside the circle is "movie refund system."

The reason is that some time ago after consumer rights protection, some websites proposed that low-quality videos should be treated like other products - if you are not satisfied, return them!
The proposal of the "movie refund mechanism" immediately aroused heated discussion.

Netizens have left messages on major directors and celebrities, calling for refunds for bad movies.

"Is there any justice in not giving money after eating?" Jiang Wen said cursingly. As a director, he was destined to oppose the refund system.

"We are filming in a place where birds don't poop, so we don't need to worry about this!" Li Mu crossed his legs and watched this matter as if it was a show of excitement.

The director is definitely not very interested in the idea of ​​"movie refund system" and even has strong opinions on it.

Wang Jing: "If you can delete your memory, I can refund your check."

Feng Xiaogang: "Not only do I not support it, I also give it two words - bullshit!"

Afterwards, Feng Xiaogang published a bunch of long speeches,
There is no one in the support circle. Writer Tang Chao said: "You find out that what you are eating is 'dog shit', and you continue to eat it?"

"Bandit logic!"

He responded directly to Feng Xiaogang.

The filming of "The Martian" has reached the advanced stage. At the same time, "33 Days Later" is expected to be completed next week.

Liu Yifei has been following Xue Xiaolu recently and is always learning.

One is willing to learn and the other is willing to teach.

"Yifei, after you go back, you'd better take some professional courses in directing!" Xue Xiaolu suggested that although there are many directors with wild backgrounds, it would be better to have a solid foundation.

"Yeah! Amu has arranged it for me." Liu Yifei nodded. Li Mu also mentioned this matter to her.

"Director Li has arranged everything for you in every detail."

Xue Xiaolu joked, causing Liu Yifei's face to blush.

In order to find a candidate to play Jingqiu in Zhang Yi's "Hawthorn Tree Love", the director team went to all major art schools across the country, but none of the five to six thousand candidates was chosen by Zhang Yi.

"Forget it, let's get through it, get over it, it's a long way to go."

Faced with "Jing Qiu" who the assistant director worked so hard to find, these words are the ones Zhang Yimou repeats the most.

Finally, Zhou Dongyu, a senior high school student, was discovered by the crew when she was applying for the dance major at Jinling Art Institute. Zhang Yimou's clean, pure and transparent temperament made Zhang Yimou's eyes shine, and he directly selected him as the candidate for "Jingqiu", and then started filming in a low-key manner.

The new "Mou Girl" is still Zhang Yi's literary film, and the actresses are not only envious of it.

This starting point is much higher than ordinary people.

"Lao Mouzi is pretty good at choosing people, but it's a pity that the milk tea girl is more suitable!"

Jiang Wen looked at Zhou Dongyu's photo and had to say that it still fit the image of "Jing Qiu", but compared to the owner of the photo that was popular on the Internet, there seemed to be a slight gap.

"This is not my ambition!" Li Mu smiled. This man had great ambitions and was very good at maneuvering behind the scenes.

Wong Jing's science fiction blockbuster "Future Police" has been released.

With an investment of over [-] million and a gathering of big names, a professional Korean special effects production company was hired. It has produced special effects blockbusters such as "The Monster on the Han River" and its technical strength is quite outstanding.

With fierce and fast action elements, Cheng Xiaodong, the Olympic opening ceremony action director, was invited to join the show.

The accumulation of many attractions is woven into a "hurricane" expectation for the film itself.

"Take the second step for domestic special effects films!"

“Science fiction must be entertaining to watch!”

When Wang Jing, Big S and others promoted it, they spared no effort.

As a result, after watching it, the audience cried out that they couldn't stand it and began to doubt life.

"5 years of preparation + 3 years of filming = Blind Bat + Blind Spider + Transgender King Kong + Astro Boy!"

"Seriously, could it be any more bloody?"

"A fighter in a bad movie! I feel sorry for my movie ticket money!"

Netizens have been crying on Weibo, begging Li Mu's "The Martian" not to be filmed like this.

"Damn it, if Li Mu's "The Martian" turns out like this, then I will completely give up on domestic science fiction films!"

"Definitely not. What level is Li Mu? I don't know how many levels Gao Wang Jing is!"

"We urgently need a real science fiction movie to wash our eyes!"

As the deputy director, Guo Fan always pays attention to every move of the crew, and he is also concerned about external affairs.

But after seeing the comments from netizens, I couldn’t laugh or cry.

"Director Li, how about we send out some stills." Guo Fan handed over the phone.

Li Mu and Jiang Wen took a look.

"Then I have to put a few out for everyone to take a look at."

After Jiang Wen read it, he laughed loudly. If he didn't show off at this time, he would always show off.

"Okay, let's show Director Jiang's nude photo. It's very good. It feels like the beginning of "Terminator"."

"It really is!"

Guo Fan also laughed, thinking about it, it was a bit similar.

"."

In the end, Li Mu used his mobile phone to post a few stills of the base and Jiang Wen wearing Mars spacesuits on his Weibo.

This set of photos directly made netizens and movie fans scream.

"Damn, this is what a science fiction movie should be like. Where is this? When did there ever be such an awesome place in China!"

"I heard it was filmed in Gansu. Holy shit, this base is so high-tech! Spaceships and rover, is this true?"

"The quality of this space suit is much better than that of "Future Police"!" "I feel like you are insulting "The Martian". Can the space suit of "Future Police" be compared with this one? That suit is not only cool and beautiful. ,like water off a duck's back!"

"It's still useful, especially when it comes to falling in love!"

"."

"Okay, let's continue filming." Li Mu continued to call the crew to enter the next stage of filming.

Li Mu filmed an extended version of "The Martian," in which Jiang Wen was trying to complete his team's original research on Mars while waiting to be rescued.

This is also the sense of responsibility of Chinese astronauts. The mission must be achieved and the task must be completed.

This needs to be shot on location. On the earth-red land, Jiang Wen is sitting on a stone. The scene in front of him is deserted. Only a man in a spacesuit and the land are left.

Solitary, lonely, desolate
Li Mu looked at the picture on the monitor and felt very satisfied. The beauty of this shot was great.

"Ka, okay!" Li Mu shouted.

Jiang Wen finally came to his senses.

"Damn, I felt a little sad just now!" Jiang Wen shook his head and quickly erased this feeling from his mind.

"Lao Jiang, your acting skills are getting better and better!"

"Let me take a look." Jiang Wen quickly went over and looked at the monitor screen, "Tsk, this back is full of acting skills!"

Jiang Wen heard that Huang Po was selling melons and boasting about herself, which caused everyone to laugh wildly.

"Come on, let's continue!"

Li Mu hurriedly chased him away. This guy was shameless when acting.

Jiang Wen paused during the journey. He inflated the tent, adjusted and rested, and then packed up the tent.
After less than two months, "33 Days of Love" was the first to be completed, and Mengying's official website has released the final photos.

"It's finished now? It's really fast!" Lu Yang was filming in Zhoukou.

"Xiu Chun Dao" is the latest of the three Dream Movies to start shooting, and is currently about halfway to completion.

Lu Yang turned to look at the crew. Liu Shisi was still reading the script, trying to figure out the mood.

"The character fits the bill, but the acting skills are a bit broken!" Lu Yang was also a little helpless. This is also a problem that many actors will encounter when TV series are transferred to the big screen. There is no other way but to guide it slowly.

Fortunately, this role does not require high acting skills, otherwise he would really have a headache.

"Yifei, I'm waiting for you to turn on the phone!" Xue Xiaolu whispered to Liu Yifei at the celebration banquet.

"Invite Director Xue to participate when the time comes!"

"Haha, I must be free then!"

After the wedding banquet, Shu Chang and Liu Yifei planned to go back the next day.

In the evening, Shu Chang was reading the simplified Chinese version of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".

"Sissi, this story is okay. Is the script ready?"

"The screenwriter of Mengying has already written it, and I'm still reading it!"

"I also read this type of book the year before last, but it's a little different from this style. Would you like to read it too!"

Shu Chang remembered a book he had read before.

"what is it call?"

"To our dying youth!"

Recently, the 3D giant-screen movie "Havoc in Heaven" invested by Xinghao Films officially announced its director selection. Xiangjiang director Cheng Baorui will direct this live-action magical action masterpiece with an investment of 2.5 million yuan.

"I will learn from Director Li Mu and bring you a new visual feast! I dare not say it is comparable to "2012", but the domestic 3D special effects are definitely only inferior to Director Li's "2012"!"

"The Monkey King may be played by Donnie Yen or Li Lienjie. Xinghao Films is in contact with the agency of both of them!"

During the interview with the director, he was also very high-spirited. After all, he could direct a blockbuster worth 2.5 million yuan. In addition to Sino-US co-production blockbusters, this amount of investment is one of the largest in the country.

But the Internet has a memory.

"Why do these words sound so familiar?"

"I remembered, that guy from "The Boy with Love" said the same thing, only with the special effects of "2012"!"

"Another word game?"

"Anyway, the special effects will definitely be better than those of "The Boys". So, there's nothing wrong with his statement. There aren't many 3D movies anyway!"

At 08:30, the crew arrived at the set.

It’s a new day, work begins again!

This morning, all the shots in the studio have been shot, and now they are all shot on location.

There aren't many scenes left for Jiang Wen. It's not very difficult. It can be completed in one or two passes. Even if you save one more scene, it basically doesn't take much time.

"It'll probably be over in the next week or so!"

As long as the base is well established for this movie, the rest of the filming will be smooth.

On the other side, Liu Yifei had returned to the Imperial Capital and went directly to Nortel.

"I really wanted to see Senior Sister Liu Yifei just now!"

"Really? Where?"

"She seems to have gone to the directing department!"

"Huh? Isn't it an acting department?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang had already known that Liu Yifei would be coming today and had been waiting in the office early.

"Teacher Tian!" Liu Yifei knocked on the door and came in.

Tian Zhuangzhuang's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Yifei winning the Oscar.

Of course this is a replica of the statuettes for Best Original Screenplay and Best Foreign Language Film.

After Li Mu won the Oscar, he went directly to the Gansu crew. He didn't have time to throw the copy to Nortel, so this time he asked Liu Yifei to bring it over.

"This is a good story for you. I have already arranged this matter. The information is also available here. Take it back and look at it more!"

"Thank you teacher!"

"Notify me when it starts up, and I'll come over and support you."

"."

Days passed like this, and after more than a month and a half of tedious and boring filming, the last scene here was finally filmed.

"Old Jiang, it's up to you whether you can finish work early today!"

"Just prepare the wine, the banquet will be held today!"

"Okay, all units, get ready!"

Everyone knew that today was most likely the last day, so everyone was so excited that their hands and feet became agile.

With the final shot completed, Li Mu took the walkie-talkie and said to everyone:

"I now declare that The Martian is officially finished!"

"Clap clap clap!"

After the words fell, everyone in the crew clapped excitedly. After working here for nearly two months, they can finally go home.

Violent applause resounded through the sky and stopped after a minute.
