It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?
#1209 - Xu Hongdou appears
"Yesterday, the modern love drama "Where the Wind Goes" was officially launched in Yunnan. It was written, directed and acted by director Chen Fei, with Liu Yifei as producer and the leading actress, and starring Shu Chang, Luo Jin, Wu Yanzhu, Dong Qing, Jing Tian and others."
"Feiyue Films released the latest release date announcement. The science fiction film "The Wandering Earth", directed by Guo Fan and starring Wu Jing, Xie Nan, Huang Jingyu, Zhao Jinmai and others, is officially scheduled to be released on July 26 during the summer vacation."
"China Film Group has released the latest announcement that the science fiction film "Shanghai Fortress", directed by Teng Huatao, starring Lu Han and Shu Qi, and starring Shi Liang, Gao Yixiang, Wang Gongliang, Wang Sen, and Sun Jialing, will be released in mainland China on August 9."
~
With the arrival of a new day, the filming of "Where the Wind Goes" officially entered into full swing.
At the same time, the release dates of "The Wandering Earth" and "Shanghai Fortress" have also sparked heated discussions across the Internet and the mainland film industry!
"What the hell? How did two science fiction movies collide with each other? What's the purpose of this? Are they going to set up a ring and start a fight?"
"Tsk tsk, they are all science fiction movies, I wonder which one will be of higher quality?"
"Do we need to guess? Guo Fan has made masterpieces like Gravity and The Martian that grossed over 3 billion yuan. What does Teng Huatao do? What kind of science fiction can a guy who makes romance movies come up with?"
"Come, let me tell you a joke, Chinese hard science fiction, hahahahahaha..."
"This is going to be interesting. The two movies are released so close together. After they are released, there will inevitably be a life-and-death battle. Whoever performs worse will be in trouble!"
There was a lot of heated discussion online, and people in the circle called one after another.
"What's going on? How come the schedules conflicted?" Ren Zhonglun said on the phone in confusion.
"I don't know either. I haven't received any news."
Although Chen Fei did not feel nervous or alert, his tone was more or less surprised.
Because China Film Group is a state-owned enterprise, it has always had first-hand information on film release dates.
Therefore, La Peikang must have known about the release date applied for by "The Wandering Earth" at the first time.
But even so, China Film Group still scheduled "Shanghai Fortress" to be released in the summer vacation, which is obviously a challenge.
Ren Zhonglun naturally knew the ins and outs of this, and he was very surprised: "Why is La Peikang so tough all of a sudden this time?"
Chen Fei really didn't take "Shanghai Fortress" seriously. What could a love movie disguised as a science fiction movie, directed by Teng Huatao, do?
Also, how do Lu Han and Shu Qi bundle together for marketing?
These two people don’t have any CP feeling?
How to talk about feelings?
After ending the call, Fade Chen shrugged, put all the news about "Shanghai Fortress" behind his mind, and returned to the set.
He doesn't think that "Shanghai Fortress" can pose any threat to "The Wandering Earth", so there is no need to think too much about it.
Sitting behind the monitor, he began to check today's filming content.
In the early morning, the sunlight of Dali is like a golden veil, gently sprinkling on Fengyang Village.
The crew members were already busy in the village, preparing to film the first appearance of Xu Hongdou, played by Liu Yifei in "Go Where the Wind Is".
After checking the shooting schedule, Chen Fei stood up and carefully checked the settings of each shot.
Wen Muye, who served as assistant director beside him, held the script and confirmed the scene layout with the staff over and over again.
"Everyone, pay attention. Today's scene is very important. It is the heroine's opening scene. We must successfully show the feeling of an urban beauty arriving in the countryside for the first time..."
Wen Muye's voice echoed in the set. Everyone became energized upon hearing it and focused on the preparations.
"Honey, are you ready?"
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in Chen Fei's ears.
He turned around and saw Liu Yifei wearing simple casual clothes, which was exactly what Xu Hongdou wore when she first arrived in Yunnan.
She wore a simple white T-shirt with blue jeans, carried a light travel bag, and her hair was casually tied into a ponytail. Although there was not much decoration, she exuded a fresh and natural beauty.
Fade Chen smiled at her and said, "Wait a moment. The cameraman needs to adjust the equipment."
"Yeah, okay."
Liu Yifei nodded slightly, sat on a chair beside her, holding the script, reciting the lines silently, her eyes revealing concentration and thinking about the role.
It has been a long time since she filmed a serious movie, and she is a little worried that she won't do a good job.
It would be embarrassing if her acting was similar to that of Yang Ying when she made her comeback after giving birth!
After more than ten minutes, the equipment debugging was officially completed.
"Director Chen, everything is ready."
"Yeah, okay, got it."
Chen Fei nodded when he heard this, then turned around and continued communicating with Liu Yifei.
"Xu Hongdou's appearance is quite important. Come on, tell us about your understanding of the character first, and we'll try to get it through in one take."
Liu Yifei put down the script and answered seriously, "I think Xu Hongdou's mood at the moment should be complicated. She is sad about her best friend's death, but also feels excited and uneasy about this strange place..."
Her words were full of a deep understanding of the role. Chen Fei nodded slightly and gave her a thumbs up: "Okay, that's it, get ready to go on stage, and do what you think."
"Yeah."
Liu Yifei stood up and touched up her makeup.
The scene soon became quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind being heard.
The director of photography adjusted the camera angle to capture the best light and picture.
“Ready, set, go!”
“Bang!”
With the order from the script supervisor and the sound of the clapboard, the shooting officially began!
Chen Fei sat in front of the monitor, staring at the screen.
Liu Yifei was seen walking slowly into the village with light but slightly tired steps.
She looked around curiously, the ancient Bai buildings, the stone roads, the wild flowers blooming on the roadside, all of which seemed so new and unfamiliar to Xu Hongdou, who had lived in a big city for many years.
The sunlight shines on her face, outlining her delicate features, and the subtle changes in facial expressions are all accurately captured by the camera.
When she came to a big tree in the center of the village, she stopped, looked up at the branches and leaves of the tree, and took a deep breath.
Liu Yifei exercised her rights as a producer and requested to add this action in order to more delicately show Xu Hongdou's inner relaxation and anticipation for a new life.
She closed her eyes and felt the caress of the breeze, as if all her worries were taken away by the gentle breeze.
At this moment, in addition to the sound of the wind, there are also a few bird calls coming from afar, creating a quiet and beautiful atmosphere.
"Ding-ling-ling!"
Suddenly, the sound of bells ringing came from not far away.
Chen Fei subconsciously turned his head and saw a puppy suddenly ran into the set from nowhere and wagged its tail at Liu Yifei.
This little accident did not cause any confusion to the crew. It was just a puppy. If this take doesn’t pass, they can just shoot another one.
It is normal that various unexpected situations often occur during the filming process.
The filming did not stop at this time. Liu Yifei was amused by the sudden appearance of the puppy. She squatted down, gently stroked the puppy's head, and interacted with it for a while.
This heartwarming scene was captured by the photographer.
“Cut!”
A few minutes later, Chen Fei called for a timeout.
"Do you need to protect one?" Liu Yifei stood still and looked over.
"Hold on."
Fade Chen gestured to her and started watching the replay.
In the picture, the action of stroking the puppy is full of life. Miss Liu smiles brightly under the camera, and her delicate profile is so gentle under the warm morning sun.
"No need to insure it, just take this one, it feels very good and can be used in the main film."
There is still a big difference between TV series and movies. The former does not have to worry about time constraints, and those beautiful pictures can be used in the feature film.
The same cannot be said for movies, as a lot of things have to be cut out in order to control the length.
"Okay."
Liu Yifei made an OK gesture and continued to touch up her makeup.
A few minutes later, the filming continued.
The scene where Xu Hongdou greets the villagers needed to appear real and natural, so some local villagers appeared one by one as extras.
Liu Yifei greeted them warmly, speaking a simple dialect.
The villagers also responded enthusiastically, with simple smiles on their faces.
This scene was filmed several times, and Miss Liu took each one very seriously, trying her best to show Xu Hongdou's friendliness and affinity.
She has been spontaneously adjusting her expressions and tone, hoping to make the performance more delicate and moving.
Chen Fei did not urge her, but just smiled and watched her adjust herself, and gave her some small suggestions.
"Tsk tsk, this delicate and silent display of affection really makes me full!"
Shu Chang stood behind the monitor with his hands folded, his tone full of emotion.
In addition to her, there was also Jing Tian who flew over from the capital to participate in the guest appearance today.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The latter also nodded and said softly: "Fortunately, I don't have many roles, otherwise I would be unlucky. I would not be able to get married if I ate too much dog food."
"Hehe, I'm not planning on getting married anyway."
Shu Chang said this slowly, and the next second he was sent by Chen Fei to make coffee.
Time soon came to the afternoon, the light became softer, and the crew moved to the "Windy Courtyard" for filming.
This is Xu Hongdou’s residence in Yunnan and also an important scene where the story unfolds.
In the camera, Liu Yifei walked into the courtyard, looked at everything around her, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
She sat down on a chair in the yard, picked up a book and began to read.
The warm sun shone on her through the gaps in the leaves, forming spots of light. The scene was as beautiful as an oil painting!
The sky quickly darkened and the day's shooting officially ended.
"Are you tired?" Chen Fei handed the coat to Liu Yifei and asked with concern.
“A little bit, but it’s okay.”
Liu Yifei giggled, and although she looked a little tired, there was satisfaction in her eyes.
On this day, she successfully portrayed the beginning of Xu Hongdou's character's life in the countryside. She felt very good and had a slight sense of accomplishment in her heart.
And this is just the beginning of "Where the Wind Goes". As the filming progresses, there will be more exciting things to come~
"Great, keep this up, our next shoot will go more smoothly."
Chen Fei gave timely exaggeration and encouragement.
It’s always better to coax your wife a little.
Girls are like this. As long as you praise her more, she will naturally be full of energy and perform better and better.
…
While Chen Fei was filming smoothly, on the other side, the incident involving Dr. Zhai and Wu Xiubo also came to its final conclusion.
As expected, these two people are completely finished.
Dr. Zhai’s latest TV drama scenes were deleted, Wu Xiubo was removed from various variety shows, and the release of all the TV dramas and movies he starred in has been suspended.
Among them, Wanda can be said to be the most unlucky.
So many resources were invested and so much time was spent in preparation for "The Love Master 2", but now all of it has gone to waste.
Moreover, after losing the support of the domestic theater market, the film did not receive a very good response abroad.
Liu Xiaobin's second call was delayed, which showed that the large-scale release of the film in Southeast Asia was unlikely.
In addition, news about the 69th Berlin International Film Festival was also reprinted by domestic media.
"Synonyms" directed by Israeli director Nadav Lapid won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film; "Thank God" directed by French director François Ozon won the Silver Bear Award for the Jury Prize; German director Angela Schanarek won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director for "I was at home, but..."...
Unfortunately, domestic films still won nothing this time.
However, the news of Wang Quanan's comeback abroad has sparked a lot of heated discussion.
I didn’t expect that after so many years, he would appear at the Berlin International Film Festival again as a director!
The movie "Dinosaur Eggs" directed by him was successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit, but unfortunately it did not win any awards.
The domestic media only gave it a brief publicity and then turned their attention directly to Wang Quanan’s ex-wife Zhang Yuqi.
The latter and her ex-husband Yuan Bayuan would occasionally quarrel with each other online. With Yuan Bayuan's ex-wife also dragged in, a three-party melee broke out, which was "exciting"!
At the same time, "Fall in Love at First Kiss", which was released on Valentine's Day, was forced to be withdrawn from theaters in late February with a box office of 155 million yuan.
Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye it is the last day of February.
The movie "Green Book", which won the Oscar for Best Picture, held its premiere ceremony domestic on the 28th.
As a screenwriter, Chen Fei naturally got some support.
There were quite a lot of domestic filmmakers who came to attend the premiere, including Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Gu Changwei, Jiang Wen, and Jia Zhangke.
"Director Chen, let me introduce you to Liu Haoqi, the leading actress in my new movie One Second."
Zhang Yimou also brought "Mou Girl" here today, which surprised Chen Fei a little.
But after changing his mind, he understood.
If his guess is correct, this Zhang Yimou girl should have reached some kind of agency agreement with Zhang Yimou's studio, and is considered half a contracted artist of Zhang Yimou.
"Hello, Director Chen. It's our first meeting. Please take care of me."
Liu Haoqi bowed and greeted very seriously.
"Well, hello."
Chen Fei nodded slightly, and glanced at this post-00s "Purple Star" with some surprise.
Like Zhang Zifeng and Zhao Jinmai, she is also an underage girl and will not officially become an adult until May.
However, although she is still a minor, according to Chen Fei's understanding, she is much more powerful than all the previous Mou girls!
The main reason is that no matter how other Mou girls do, it can be said that Zhang Yimou gave them very important support and encouragement, otherwise the label of "Mou Girl" would not be so famous in the circle.
But the one in front of me is a little different!
She did not have any scandalous relationship with Zhang Yimou, and the media did not reveal any messy private life issues about her.
There is only one very explosive point!
There are people outside saying that Zhang Yimou was born to her!
This is really weird.
How did an underage girl give birth to an old man like Zhang Yimou?
Of course, even if the rumors are very explosive, they cannot cover up this person's acting skills and appearance.
It has to be said that among the post-00s generation, her acting skills are indeed among the best, and no one can deny this.
After a brief chat, Fade Chen walked away.
However, Zhang Yimou acted as a "teacher" to Liu Hao: "As everyone knows, if an actor wants to survive in the film and television industry, the most important thing is to have good enough grades.
Well, do you know where the results are reflected? "
Liu Hao said softly: "Role!?"
"That's right." Zhang Yimou nodded slightly and continued, "But roles also mean 'resources'. You must find good enough resources to do better and better in this circle.
Huanxi Media, including me, are all providers of resources, but more, better, and higher-quality resources are not in our hands.”
Hearing this, Liu Hao subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Chen Fei, who was surrounded by many Hollywood celebrities who were greeting and flattering him.
Isn’t Peter Farrelly, the winner of the Oscar for Best Picture and the director of “Green Book” awesome enough?
But as awesome as he is, he has to put on a flattering smile in front of Fade Chen!
Looking at this scene, Liu Haoqi was deeply touched!
Zhang Yimou's voice was still echoing in her ears: "Next, if Feiyue Film and Television has any new film projects, I will help you get them, because this company is recognized as the largest "resource" manufacturer in the mainland film and television industry! Huanxi Media is far inferior..."
"Yeah, thank you Director Zhang."
Liu Hao nodded slightly, but what he was thinking about was Zhang Zifeng and Zhao Jinmai.
Does she have a chance of winning against these two?
…
