This star is going to the moon

Chapter 381 The future of domestic films still depends on us
Oriental Movie Metropolis, "Space Elevator" Studio.

"Cut! The actors have left the stage. Let's film this scene again!"

"Props! Props! Restore the scene within half an hour!"

"Lights, lights..."

As Guo Fan kept issuing commands to change scenes and prepare for a reshoot, Lu Yun, wearing a space ladder spacesuit, led An Fangfei and the others behind the monitor to watch the playback of the previous footage.

I also used my Level 3 "directing" skills, which I learned from directors like Guo Fan, and my existing Level 5 "acting" skills to give them guidance.

"Sister Fei, don't be so nonchalant when you accept the roses. In the movie, we're still in the early stages of our relationship, not like we're about to get married in real life..."

The other actors laughed when they heard this and immediately cheered, "Ew~"

Hearing the commotion, An Fangfei immediately glared, but they weren't afraid.

However, Lu Yun immediately avenged An Fangfei: "Stop making a scene here. What's the point of making a scene so naturally in real life? How come you can't even make a scene when it's filming?"

“Especially you, Ivan, look how stiff your expression is…”

"..."

As December arrived, filming for "The Wandering Earth 2" had been going on for a month and a half.

Because the film features two male leads, the filming was conducted in two separate groups simultaneously, which significantly shortened the shooting time.

This meant that Guo Fan couldn't handle it alone, so he asked his friend Kong Dashan, who was also a director, to be the B-team director.

Kong Dashan had just finished filming "The Editorial Department of Space Exploration" in the middle of the year, and Guo Fan was one of the producers of the film.

The lead actor was Yang Haoyu, who played "Old He" in "The Wandering Earth".

"Old He" was the bespectacled engineer who was solving hardware problems in the computer room when he was unfortunately hit by falling concrete from the earthquake. He then managed to plug in the last plug before sacrificing his life.

Although Kong Dashan was in charge of Group B and Lu Yun provided some assistance to Group A, Guo Fan still had to travel back and forth frequently, which is why he looked visibly worn out.

Fortunately, he was in high spirits and drank plenty of iced Americano to keep himself going.

Of course, in this life he met Lu Yun, who was also the Lu Yun with cheat codes, so he was often dragged by Lu Yun to practice qigong and guiding techniques, so his physical condition was actually not bad.

At this point, the main actors' scenes in the airport environment have been filmed. Now, the airport area is being filmed for supporting actors and extras, and filming will be completed in about half a month at most. The airport set will be dismantled soon.

Lu Yun and others will soon be filming the "fighting scene in the space elevator car," and the progress is very good.

After Guo Fan finished issuing the orders, he came over to listen to Lu Yun's explanation, pointed out a few key points for reshoots, and then let the other actors disperse and figure it out on their own.

Then he smiled and said to Lu Yun, "Why do I feel like you're stricter than me? Fangfei did a good job in that shot just now; I would have passed."

An Fangfei was delighted to hear this, and raised her chin, saying, "Right, right? I've made great progress in the past two years."

“Indeed, I’ve seen your previous work,” Guo Fan added. “I feel that your acting skills have improved dramatically compared to before. If you get a good script, you should be able to get an acting nomination.”

"Hehe, I haven't thought about winning any awards. I just want the audience to stop saying my acting is bad."

Lu Yun smiled when he heard this. An Fangfei had changed a lot in the years they had spent together.

With his presence, An Fangfei in this life no longer had to act in a bunch of flops like in her previous life, and her acting skills were sufficient as the leading lady in commercial films.

This can be seen as Lu Yun's way of repaying An Fangfei for the help she gave him in his previous life.

Of course, he didn't suffer any loss, since An Fangfei was his wife anyway.

"This is my expectation for Fei Jie's acting skills. I'm asking her to improve her acting skills so that she can live up to the audience's expectations. After all, as actors and artists, our service is to the audience, not awards or judges." Guo Fan scratched his head when he heard Lu Yun's words, because there were very few people in the entire entertainment industry who were qualified and dared to say such things.

Aside from established, accomplished, and elderly artists who have nothing more to ask for, only actors like Lu Yun and An Fangfei, who are just "dabbling" in the field, would dare to say such a thing.

After all, if these two are really ostracized, they can just wave it off and move on to something even more impressive like aerospace.

Even Lu Yun is now heading towards becoming a super entrepreneur and tycoon. If he raises his own money to assemble a production team and then broadcasts it directly on the website, what can the entertainment industry do to him?
Although Guo Fan entered the entertainment industry halfway through his career, he has received a lot of help and support from people in the industry to get to where he is today, so it is impossible for him to leave the entertainment industry.

At most, as a "younger generation," he has different ideas from those older figures in the entertainment industry and has the desire and determination to make changes.

Take, for example, the industrialization of film.

This actually clashed with those older generations who followed the "feudal workshop" approach.

He initially faced many obstacles, but because of the "science fiction" theme and the existence of Lu Yun, a "real science fiction" figure, his path became much easier.

Sometimes Guo Fan couldn't help but wonder if he really carried some kind of destiny within him.
So, the movie really relies on just himself and Rowoon?

Shaking his head, Guo Fan tried to clear his mind of those random thoughts and said, "The crew is organizing a movie screening after we wrap up. Are you guys going?"

"Whether you want to have better acting skills or directing, shooting, lighting, etc., in addition to learning, you also need to increase the amount of films you watch and actually see how other people act and shoot."

Lu Yun was still wondering what new movies were being released recently when An Fangfei asked directly, "What movies are they?"

"Among the films released today, there is the domestic film 'Soul Snatcher,' which is comparable to 'Monster Hunt,' and the imported films are the monster blockbuster adapted from the hit game 'Monster Hunter' and the horror film 'The Invisible Man.'"

Lu Yun recognized the name immediately.

"Soul Snatcher" seems to have been involved in creating a male-male couple, but it didn't work out and ultimately flopped due to the terrible plot and the poor acting of the lead actors.

It seems the final box office was over 100 million.

One of the 100 million yuan in box office revenue came from the first two days of the film's release, because the pre-release publicity was extremely aggressive.

It's touted as the "biggest investment" since the "Monster Hunt" series, with a target box office of over 10 billion!
In addition, the special effects team for "Harry Potter," the background music by Joe Hisaishi, and the behind-the-scenes teams including the producer, screenwriter, art director, action director, and music director are all top-notch in the industry.

Aside from the cast, which certainly can't compare to the star-studded lineup of "Monster Hunt," all other aspects are modeled after "Monster Hunt."

However, the flaws were exposed after only two days of release, and the daily box office revenue quickly plummeted, eventually reaching a meager 100 million yuan after a month of slow release.

Forget about recovering costs, we lost a hundred million!

The live-action Monster Hunter movie is the same, promoting itself as a new film featuring a "biological couple," continuing the pattern of the husband adapting the game and the wife playing the lead role.

In the end, he was also a complete flop.

It only grossed tens of millions of dollars worldwide.

In the end, the box office couldn't cover the costs, resulting in a loss of tens of millions... What a disaster!

US knife!

It seems that in the end, only the horror film "The Invisible Man" received good reviews and performed well at the box office.

Therefore, Rowoon felt there was no need for him to watch this kind of movie, and shook his head to indicate that he would not go.

"I won't go, because the name and description sound unreliable."

Guo Fan: "?"
