China Entertainment: Great directors start by winning actresses

Chapter 356: Yoona's Night Attack
Su Zhe also put a lot of effort into selecting and constructing the site. He led his team to travel all over the country to find places that could restore historical scenes and show the cruelty and heroism of war.

In the end, they selected several representative venues and carried out careful arrangement and renovation, striving to allow the audience to feel the atmosphere of that era while watching the movie.

As for the details of costumes and props, Su Zhe is even more demanding, as he knows the importance of these details in shaping the character image and creating a historical atmosphere.

Therefore, he personally participated in the design and production process of the costumes, ensuring that each costume accurately reflects the identity and personality of the character.

At the same time, he also worked closely with the props team to create many realistic and period props.

In Tai'a Media's headquarters building, Su Zhe's busy figure can be seen everywhere.

He not only has to deal with various affairs of the "Changjin Lake" project, but also has to pay attention to the progress of other projects of the company.

"Don't worry, the shooting hasn't officially started yet, so it's still early!" Su Zhe nodded slightly, his words revealing his calmness towards the upcoming challenges.

This time, the scale of "Changjin Lake" is unprecedented. Not only has the investment amount set a historical high, but the manpower deployment is also the largest since the 1990s.

Of course, in terms of pure manpower scale, it may have to give way to the once heart-stirring "The Great Battle". After all, that work mobilized 13 active-duty soldiers as extras, and its spectacular scene has been difficult to surpass so far.

But the preparations for "Changjin Lake" were equally eye-catching. The early stage staff alone gathered more than 7,000 elites, and major film studios and three major art schools responded to the call and invested all their efforts.

It is estimated that the number of extras required for the entire project will be close to 70,000. This scale is enough to demonstrate the excellence and care of its production.

No effort was spared in the props and scene layout. Tanks and other heavy equipment are everywhere, and the details are real and shocking.

It is particularly worth mentioning that in order to restore the historical background and enhance the international perspective of the film, the crew also needs to recruit a large number of foreign extras and professional actors

Faced with such challenges, Su Zhe knew that the box office expectations for overseas markets for a military war film like "Changjin Lake" that focuses on a specific historical background were indeed not optimistic, but this did not shake his firm belief in the success of the film.

He knew that the success of the film would mainly depend on the enthusiastic response and box office contribution of the mainland market.

Therefore, he developed a detailed and thorough strategy aimed at attracting and impressing the audience through high-quality production and precise market positioning.

In order to ensure that every frame of the film is full of realism and shocking, Su Zhe invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in the early preparations.

He knows that time is money, but on this film, he prefers to regard time as a valuable resource for polishing a fine product.

Therefore, although the filming is not scheduled to start until October, the preliminary work has already been carried out in full swing. From the repeated scrutiny of the script to the careful arrangement of the scenes, every detail strives for perfection.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Su Zhe is also meticulous in the selection and training of actors.

He knew that as a military war film, the actors must possess a certain military temperament and qualities in order to convince the audience.

Therefore, he specially arranged a military training session, allowing the main actors to gather together in advance and receive strict military training.

This arrangement not only helps the actors to better integrate into their roles, but also allows them to show a more real and natural military style during the filming process.

During the busy preparatory work, Su Zhe always maintained a high level of enthusiasm and concentration.

He knew that "Changjin Lake" was not just a movie, but also an affectionate look back and tribute to that period of history.

He hopes that through this film, more people will understand the arduous years of war and feel the great sacrifices and contributions made by those brave and fearless soldiers.

Therefore, he is willing to make every effort to make this film a classic that will stand the test of time.

The grand launch conference of "Changjin Lake" in Beijing has undoubtedly become the focus of attention both inside and outside the industry, not only because of the importance of its subject matter - focusing on the historical turning point of the Battle of Changjin Lake.

Moreover, director Su Zhe's choice was unexpected, breaking the general expectation that his next work would be the sci-fi blockbuster "Ready Player One", demonstrating his diverse explorations and deep feelings as a filmmaker.

At the press conference, the profound historical background of the Battle of Changjin Lake was carefully arranged, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere, allowing people to instantly travel back to that war-torn era.

The announcement of the leading cast is even more eye-catching. The participation of powerful actors such as Wu Jing, Hu Jun, and Kai Kai Wang has undoubtedly injected strong acting skills into the film.

The characters they played, Wu Qianli, Lei Suisheng, Mei Sheng and others, were all vivid and three-dimensional, foreshadowing that this will be a double feast of acting skills and emotion.

As for the supporting roles, the film is even more star-studded. The participation of first-line stars such as Da Tiantian, Liu Yifei, Hu Ge, and Da Mi Mi not only increases the attention of the film, but also makes people look forward to their wonderful performances in non-traditional roles.

In particular, how these big-name stars would integrate into the atmosphere of war films became one of the hot topics after the press conference.

What is particularly noteworthy is that director Su Zhe announced that the investment scale of "Changjin Lake" is as high as 12 billion yuan. This figure not only highlights the grand production scale of the film, but also indicates its ultimate pursuit in special effects, scenes, costumes and props.

This is undoubtedly good news for the audience, as it means they will have the opportunity to witness in the cinema a visually and emotionally shocking work that combines history, war, and humanity.

After the press conference, as the filming of the Beijing scenes officially started, all the main actors and actresses threw themselves into the intensive filming work as special actors.

Not only do they have to face high-intensity shooting tasks, but they also have to dig deep into the inner world of the characters, striving to restore the truth of history and the depth of the characters in every detail.

The scenes in Beijing were completed efficiently in a tight schedule and were successfully wrapped up in just three days, demonstrating the high level of professionalism and tacit cooperation of the crew.

Afterwards, director Su Zhe led the entire crew to Zhejiang, and the first stop was the picturesque Hanshan Lake in Tiantai County.

This place will become an important filming location for the opening of the film "Changjin Lake", telling the scene where Wu Qianli returns home with his brother Wu Baili's urn after the war.

Hanshan Lake is famous for its vast lake surface, with an area of ​​9600 acres, equivalent to six West Lakes. The beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains adds a bit of tranquility and magnificence to the film.

The crew had carefully selected this location and completed the set work in advance, striving to restore the atmosphere and emotions of that era.

As the sun slowly sets, the golden sunlight fills the entire lake, covering the quiet and peaceful fishing village with a warm coat.

Such a scene undoubtedly provides an excellent natural background for the subsequent shooting.

"All departments get ready!" Director Su Zhe held a loudspeaker and his loud voice echoed on the lake.

The camera team, props team, lighting team...all departments responded quickly and reported the preparation status one by one. The whole scene was tense and orderly.

"Start!" With the order from director Su Zhe, the filming officially began.

The camera slowly moves forward, focusing on Wu Qianli's heavy steps and the urn in his hand. His eyes are full of nostalgia and reluctance for his brother, as well as complex emotions about his future life. The surrounding scenery and the character's emotions complement each other, together constructing a touching picture.

Witnessed by Hanshan Lake, this play is not only a reproduction of history, but also a profound exploration of human nature, emotion and sacrifice.

As the filming progresses, I believe that "Changjin Lake" will show the audience that magnificent chapter of history in a more realistic and moving way.

As Wu Qianli, played by Wu Jing, sits on a fishing boat, holding his brother Wu Baili's urn, the camera delicately captures his every subtle emotional fluctuation.

In the close-up shot, Wu Qianli stroked the urn, his eyes full of nostalgia for the past and longing for the future.

Then, the camera slowly pulls away, revealing the magnificent scenery of Hanshan Lake, symbolizing the end of the civil war and the beautiful vision of peaceful life.

This scene was successfully completed under the careful guidance of director Su Zhe. It not only showed the inner world of the characters, but also cleverly integrated the natural beauty, adding a touch of warmth and hope to the film.

As the sky gradually darkened, the crew quickly changed the scene and filmed a heartwarming scene of a family sitting together for a meal.

In this play, through the little details of family life, it shows the universal emotion of people longing for reunion and cherishing peace after the war.

As night fell, the first day of shooting came to a successful conclusion.

During the filming at Hanshan Lake, the crew overcame various difficulties and efficiently completed the filming of many important scenes.

As the filming progressed, the crew went to Bulu Township, Xianju County, Taizhou to shoot, continuing to explore the regional characteristics and cultural heritage required for the film.

Finally, the crew moved to Meishan Station in Meishan Town, Changxing, Huzhou, where the second major scene of the film will be presented - the spectacular sight of the Ninth Corps landing on the train.

In order to shoot this key scene, the crew carried out careful preparation and arrangement, striving to restore the authenticity and shock of history.

As the camera moves forward, trains slowly pull into the platform, and the soldiers of the Ninth Corps are ready to go to a new battlefield.

This scene not only demonstrates the army's discipline and momentum, but also foreshadows the upcoming new challenges and tests.

Under the careful planning of director Su Zhe and the joint efforts of all crew members, the filming of "Changjin Lake" is proceeding in an orderly manner.

When director Su Zhe and his team arrived at Meishan Station in Meishan Town, Changxing, Huzhou, the scene before them already had the initial atmosphere required for a movie.

Although the real train is not the steam locomotive of that era, the crew has cleverly used special effects technology and prepared realistic diesel locomotive props, striving to visually restore the historical reality.

As night fell, the entire shooting scene was illuminated by lights, and thousands of extras were ready to go. Their gathering instantly made the scene extremely spectacular.

However, more people also means increased difficulty in coordination, and every detail needs to be carefully arranged to ensure the smooth progress of the shooting.

This large-scale scene about the 9th Corps landing on a train was filmed day and night for four days and was finally completed perfectly with the joint efforts of the crew.

During this period, scenes of the 9th Corps gathering were also interspersed. The entire shooting process was intense and orderly, and every shot embodied the wisdom and sweat of the team.

Afterwards, the crew moved to Hengdian and started another phase of filming.

Here, Zhang Han's scenes were filmed first. Although he had a small number of shots, he strived to be precise and accurate every time he appeared, adding color to the film.

With the successful completion of Zhang Han's scenes, the main shooting task in Hengdian has also entered its climax stage, and a large number of important scenes and character scenes will be presented here one by one.

In addition to filming, the crew members also take time to get together and enjoy the rare leisure time.

On this day, after the shooting, everyone sat together, enjoying delicious midnight snacks, chatting and laughing, and sharing with each other the little fun stories and insights they had during the shooting process.

Such moments not only deepen the friendship between each other, but also make everyone cherish this time of common struggle more.

As the Hengdian scenes gradually progress, the crew is about to embark on a new journey and head to the next filming location.

Su Zhe didn't expect Lin Yuna to suddenly fly over.

"Oppa, did you miss me?" Lin Yoona, who flew over in the middle of the night, noticed Su Zhe's tiredness.

"You guys have to put "Ready Player One" on hold and work on "New World" first!" Su Zhe knew at a glance why Lin Yuna came here.

“I need to think about it carefully and then see the progress of Ready Player One.

If the birth here is difficult, then we can indeed shoot "New World" first, Yoona, you should be prepared. "Su Zhe said.

Lin Yuna nodded: "Don't worry, Oppa, I turned down all other acting offers before filming "New World"."

Su Zhe pursed his lips and suggested, "Since we are already in Kyoto, why are you still staying in a hotel? Come to my house. It will definitely be more comfortable than staying in a hotel."

Before Tangtang even opened her mouth, Yoona agreed immediately.

Tangtang: “…” At night.

She couldn't sleep and wanted to go next door to chat with Yoona.

Lin Yuner came up and hugged Su Zhe, and they kissed each other. The full emotions in her heart, the endless pleasure in her body, and Su Zhe's superb kissing skills made Lin Yuner deeply immersed in this kiss and unable to extricate herself.

As they were kissing, whether intentionally or accidentally, the shower head suddenly turned on, and the cold water instantly poured down on the man and woman below.

But pouring it on their bodies could not quench the lust in their bodies, and could not put out their desire in the bathroom. When Lin Yoona was entered by Su Zhe, some movement occurred outside the bathroom.

It wasn't that Tang Yan woke up - she had woken up before, but Su Zhe's phone rang again.

It was an unfamiliar number. When Tang Yan saw it for the first time, she chose to hang up directly, but when it called for the second time, Tang Yan still answered it.

After the call was connected, a sentence in Korean came from the other end of the phone, which Tang Yan could not understand at all.
