The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

"In other words..."

Gong Li's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lin Bufan, realizing the key point in her mind.

"That's right!"

Lin Bufan nodded to Gong Li: "So, you have to be careful with this role. Some scenes can be conveyed through subtle details."

Lin Bufan just told them so much, but he didn't mean for them to act it all out in the movie.

If you tell them the true nature of the characters.

Only when you are familiar with the character's background can the unintentional expressions during the performance feel more real.

However, this is, after all, a commercial film, not an art film.

Therefore, many scenes do not need to be fully acted out.

"I see!"

Gong Li nodded seriously.

Although he didn't quite understand it yet, Wenzhang, who was standing to the side, also began to think about how to play the role better.

……

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Daily check-in successful. You have received the following rewards: 100 million US dollars, 100 points, and one Energy Pill.]

The next day, early in the morning, Lin Bufan got up and immediately checked in.

As usual, the energy pills were put directly into the box.

Next, we will enter the filming stage.

Lin Bufan has enough energy, but these actors may not.

Especially Gong Li.

As the female lead in the film, she had a lot of scenes and couldn't use a stunt double, so she had to do all the stunts herself.

After all, she was a woman, unlike Leonardo DiCaprio and the others, whose physical strength was much greater than that of women.

In order to keep up with the filming schedule, Lin Bufan might give Gong Li an energy booster.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Weekly check-in successful. You have received the following rewards: $500 million USD, 500 points, and a luxury mansion in Iceland.]

"A luxury mansion in Iceland!"

Lin Bufan looked at the property certificate that appeared in front of him. It was a small estate located in Iceland, covering an area of ​​about 12 acres.

"They really rewarded us with a luxury house in Iceland as a gift since we're going to film there."

Lin Bufan thought to himself.

After getting up, he went outside and called Zhang Tian'ai over.

"Heavenly Love!"

"Boss!"

"Notify the company to send someone to Iceland to take over a manor, tidy it up properly, and use it when filming," Lin Bufan instructed Zhang Tianai.

"Yes, boss!"

Zhang Tianai responded and was about to turn and leave when she suddenly said, "By the way, boss, Hong Jinbao is back from Hong Kong."

Hong Jinbao landed at 8 a.m., and Lin Bufan was still asleep when she arrived, so Zhang Tianai did not inform her.

Where are they?

"They're outside!"

Lin Bufan nodded slightly and walked outside, where he saw Hong Jinbao leading the Hong Family Troupe in setting up equipment and such.

"Director Lin!"

Hong Jinbao was giving instructions when he suddenly saw Lin Bufan and quickly walked over.

"Mr. Hong!"

Lin Bufan looked at Hong Jinbao and greeted her.

"Director Lin, you flatter me. You can just call me Jinbao," Hong Jinbao quickly and modestly replied.

Don't let his age fool you.

However, when a person's status is high enough, age becomes the least significant factor.

Given Lin Bufan's current status, even if someone called him Jinbao, no one would say anything.

"Then I'll still call you Brother Hong!"

Lin Bufan shook his head slightly.

He wasn't the arrogant type of person to begin with.

Moreover, given his age, he could call the other person Jinbao, and the other person would understand, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Therefore, it's only natural that he would call Hung Kin-po "Brother Hung" since even Jackie Chan calls him "Brother Hung."

"Director Lin, I..."

Hong Jinbao was very pleased, but he was also afraid that Lin Bufan was just being polite.

"Alright, Brother Hong, it's settled then!"

Lin Bufan waved his hand, leaving no room for refusal.

He is not an aggressive person, nor is he a troublemaker, provided that the other party has self-awareness.

"Then I'll take the plunge!"

Hung Kam-po's humility is rare; it would be absolutely impossible in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

Even when facing Jackie Chan, he showed no humility whatsoever.

However, Lin Bufan and Cheng Long are completely different kinds of people, so he had to be humble.

With Hung Kam Po's return from Hong Kong, the training camp has resumed.

……

"Boss, the studio is set up and ready to use!"

Before long, the day had passed, and Zhang Tianai came to report the situation to Lin Bufan.

"Okay, I understand!"

Lin Bufan nodded slightly, then instructed, "Tian'ai, tell everyone to assemble after breakfast!"

"Yes, boss!"

Following Lin Bufan's instructions, after breakfast, everyone gathered in the villa's living room.

"The studio is set up. Starting today, everyone will go to the studio for blocking practice." Lin Bufan looked at everyone with a serious expression.

Shooting 3D movies is different from shooting other movies before.

The movement of the characters is also very important, especially when it comes to special effects CG shots and motion capture.

Since the studio is full of screens and there are no viewing mirrors, positioning becomes even more important.

Only by mastering the positioning can we improve the filming progress.

Otherwise, just the positioning alone could waste several months.

"Yes, Director!"

The others responded in unison.

Afterwards, everyone left the villa and boarded a bus outside.

After boarding, the bus headed towards the photography studio.

The location where the photography studio was set up is not far from the villa, only a half-hour drive away, right by the sea.

Many underwater shots need to be filmed in a studio.

To achieve a more realistic effect, the pool in the studio was filled with seawater.

Upon entering the studio, the first thing everyone sees is a huge pool in the far corner, which was dug directly from the beach.

It connects to the sea, but with a wire mesh added at the connection point, and it is inspected continuously every day.

Make sure no marine life gets in.

After all, the pool is 8 meters deep.

Otherwise, the effect Lin Bufan wanted wouldn't have been achieved.

"Alright, everyone, let's familiarize ourselves with the positioning."

Lin Bufan looked at everyone, gave instructions, and then began to tinker with his 3D shooting equipment.

He has studied this equipment for a long time, and there are absolutely no problems with its operation.

……

In the following period, the entire "Return to the Ruins" production team began to enter a phase of rapid development.

Especially for these actors, the daily physical training is a high-intensity mode.

Every day, I not only have to delve into the character's inner world, but also learn martial arts moves and practice positioning.

Simply put, from the moment they got up at six in the morning until they returned to the villa at 11 p.m., they had almost no free time throughout the entire day except for meals.

However, it is precisely because of this.

The integration process is progressing rapidly, and at the current pace, it should take no more than half a month for everyone to complete the integration.

Actual filming can be conducted.
