On September 5th, after Zhao Donghuai helped Mak Yuen-hsiung to make minor revisions to the script and shooting style, starting from the 6th, the preparations for the filming of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" began.

Gao Yuanyuan officially joined the ranks of assistant directors and became the same assistant directors as Chen Musheng and Huang Jianxin. She is no longer an apprentice or assistant.

In the entire overlooking group, we could not find a scenic spot on Hong Kong Island that was similar to the long street where the original protagonist lived, with large trees and two-story single-family villas on both sides. It was Gao Yuanyuan and her assistant who found such a building complex in Pengcheng.

It's not that the living environment and attractions must be copied from the original version... but that version is the easiest to show a group of apes climbing through the trees above the human world like an army, revealing the iconic lens language of the apes' official debut.

At the end of the film, a group of apes fight against the Golden Gate Bridge. Here they are fighting against the Tsing Ma Bridge. In 1991, Hong Kong launched a public tender for the Tsing Ma Bridge from major construction companies around the world. At this stage, it has become a bridge project.

The original track is to complete the project in April next year and hold an opening ceremony.

As time went by while filming, the crew rented the bridge for a period of time to film before the opening ceremony. It was very stable.

When the crew officially started shooting, Zhao Donghuai also became busy. He not only controlled the operation of the large crew, filming, performances, etc., but also taught Gao Yuanyuan how to coordinate a big science fiction movie.

………………

January 1, 1997, New Year's Day.

With the new year coming, the most important and happiest thing for Director Zhao is to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for Yuanyuan.

With the transition from old to new, Xiao Gao officially became an adult.

Zhao Donghuai helped her gain enlightenment and open the door to a new world.

The crew of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" also had a big New Year's Day holiday until the 4th. In movie theaters everywhere, the biggest blockbusters were from North America ("The Island of the Dead"), as well as Li Zhi and Cameron Diaz.

, starring Kristy Yang (Spider-Man 3).

This is a conventional blockbuster competition.

Legend World Tower!

In the big house on the 32nd floor, Gao Yuanyuan, who is full of knowledge, is sitting at the dining table. Looking at the top-notch food cooked by Zhao Donghuai, she is still a little greedy. "Boss, I haven't eaten much special ingredients in a year, but I'm still a little bit taller."

, barefoot and 1.75 meters tall."

"The food you cook is so nourishing."

The past two years have been a period of rapid improvement in Xiaogao's life knowledge, skills, experience, etc. At this stage, she is much stronger than many directing majors who have studied in major schools for four years.

Zhao Donghuai was speechless and said, "It's okay. The span of two centimeters per year is much better than the 10 centimeters per year when you eat special agent ingredients."

“It’s better to wait until you are 19 or 20 before eating the special offer.”

Although Gao Yuanyuan felt a little regretful, she still nodded obediently and walked around to Zhao Donghuai with bare feet, "Hey, I have dominated you for four days. I really want to keep doing this..."

Before I could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door, and then the door opened. Li Jiaxin walked in with a cool look on her face, "Let's play cards, mahjong or poker. The New Year's Day holiday isn't over yet."

The entire building from 31st to 33rd floor is Gao Yuanyuan's separate property. It has everything including food, accommodation, entertainment, fitness, swimming, etc. The rooftop of the building is also a carefully crafted sky garden.

But she doesn't only have the keys, she also gave some away, and her sisters are welcome to come and play at any time.

Yuanyuan said excitedly, "Okay, let's play mahjong, and I'll help the boss."

Zhao Donghuai's debating ability and talk show talent are what she admires so much and she wants to be criticized by debates. She has rewatched various classic love movies everywhere. She has cried more than 30 times, but she still can't make Zhao Donghuai live.

Be gentle and help her improve her debating skills.

Or perform a stand-up show for her alone.

Zhao Donghuai shook his head and said, "Don't be busy with that now. After dinner, let's try out (Black Gold) first. In the past four months, (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) has only been filmed for more than half of the time, and (Black Gold) has completed post-production."

“We can still look forward to Lao Mai’s new movie.”

In this Lunar New Year release, (Black Gold) is one of the major blockbusters launched by Zhao Films. He also wants to see if (Black Gold), which has been revised according to his suggestions, is still half epic and half bad as it was originally planned.

Of course, during big time periods such as Christmas, New Year's Day and Lunar New Year, black gold is definitely not the only one. Cheng Long made one (A Good Man), Zhou Xingxing, Yuan Biao, Huang Baiming and others made one (97 version of Happy Events at Home),

Wang Jing took Li Ming to film a movie (God of Gamblers 3: Young God of Gamblers).

This is a star-studded masterpiece. Putting aside these blockbusters, there are many other small-cost projects.

After a sumptuous lunch, the big movie kicked off in the screening room on the 32nd floor of Legend World.

This new version (Black Gold) is really enjoyable for Zhao Donghuai. Gao Yuanyuan, Li Jiaxin, Winona and others all exclaimed from time to time while watching it.

What Zhao Donghuai sees here is the final version in which Zhou Chaoxian, played by Tony Leung Ka-fai, is intercepted by a team of super elite Liu Dehua, killing and injuring a large number of his younger brothers before escaping.

Sitting on the speedboat to escape from the corner, Zhou Chao first cursed "Damn, I will definitely come back" in a gloomy and super cold wind.

Liu Dehua, Li Saifeng, Lin Zhengying and other elite groups, although they killed a large number of Pine Forest Gang members by force and fighting, they even shot and killed Cui Miaoxiang, who had a deep and complicated relationship with Zhou Chaoxian. This Cui Miaoxiang was played by Yuan Jieying.

But there was an action scene in which the boss was not formally given an order, but the team was unwilling to give in and came to arrest people to prevent Zhou Chaoxian and his wife from escaping. It was considered...

Not only did they not receive a reward, they also ushered in the law enforcers who arrested them.

Very darkly ironic.

At that time, Liu Dehua, the captain of the Investigation Bureau and a judicial fighter, had been dismissed and fired by his old superiors.

In order to maintain the bottom line of justice, they engaged in shootouts and blocked scenes, which were indeed illegal acts.

Zhou Chaoxian was so arrogant and domineering that he killed Lao Hou by helicopter. Of course, he was also among the most wanted criminals. But the law enforcers who arrested Zhou Chaoxian were killed by Jay Chou's younger brother long before Andy Lau's team showed up.

This version of Black Gold is more exciting and beautiful than the original.

Even Andy Lau's acting skills in literary dramas are much higher than those in the original version. The level of acting he contributed in it is not inferior to the original version of "Secret War" and "Infernal Affairs".

After all, there are not so many bad movies and all kinds of cheap movies to hold him back. Hua Zai has worked hard for more than ten years and has really reached the level of acting.

………………

On the 6th, after Fan Bingbing made a phone call and made an appointment, she took Chen Hao to the 33rd floor of the Legend Times Building.

When the two of them saw Gao Yuanyuan, they were both stunned for a while. Then Bingbing sighed, "It's just different. It feels like you are a different person. This is so smooth."

It’s just that we haven’t seen each other for a while, the long, straight, small, tall black man’s charming and gorgeous feeling and temperament from the inside out are quite different from the pure white moonlight style before.

She now has the demeanor of a "goddess with flowing water and a fierce tiger, Gao Yuanyuan with strong iron".

Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, she would have changed a lot if she replaced him, the supplements from the Zhao family are so nourishing.

Chen Hao couldn't help but said with envy, "Sister Yuanyuan, you are so beautiful."

Gao Yuanyuan was happy, "Okay, stop flattering me. What kind of script did you say you accepted? Are you still undecided and want me to advise you?"

Fan Bingbing nodded, "Yes, Aunt Qiongyao over there gave me a script called (Princess Returning the Pearl), asking me to play the role of Princess Ziwei who was left behind during Emperor Hongzhi's eastward tour of the Ming Dynasty, and Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake. ,Xia Ziwei.”

"She also made an appointment with Chen Hao, asking Chen Hao to play a fake princess. If the TV series is filmed, it will be a good project."

Xiao Gao said in astonishment, "Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty? Isn't that the legendary emperor who only married one queen in his life? He never had any concubines in his life? Does this kind of emperor's magic reform also have a princess living outside the country?"

Bingbing explained, "Originally, Qiong Yao wanted to write a play about Qianlong, a Qing Dynasty drama. However, the original producer (the play about Qianlong) said that the big boss didn't like the Qing court play very much, so he changed the play about Qianlong to a play about Zhengde. She That’s why it changed.”

"The script is that Xia Ziwei wants to return to Beijing to recognize her relatives, but is accidentally robbed of her identity by a fake princess, causing a series of accidents. A fake princess who looks like a tomboy is making trouble in the palace."

"I think (joking about Zhengde) was once a drama king. This type of TV series is also a bit innovative? But I don't have the schedule."

Although the production of the (Harry Potter 5) crew has been completed, she is also free and can prepare for Zhou Xingxing's (Kung Fu) movie.

But I didn’t know that the filming of "Kung Fu" was over. After Harry Potter 5 was released in the summer of 1997, the filming of the sixth part would continue.

Gao Yuanyuan was a little dumbfounded, "What do you want to do when there is no schedule?"

Fan Bingbing laughed awkwardly, "She said she could wait for my schedule until I was free. The whole crew would change my schedule at any time. She didn't even mind if I took my time to shoot (Princess Returning the Pearl) in a leisurely way when I was shooting other film and television projects. I If you need to leave, you can leave at any time."

"I also want to covet the advanced version of Baicao Health Pills in your hand."

There was no way, the brilliant ratings of (joking about Zhengde) proved that TV dramas about emperors could also be popular. She was interested in this project, not to mention Qiong Yao's conditions and sincerity, and they were also very decent.

Xiao Gao said helplessly, "Please tell me more and let me see if this project is worth it."

Fan Bingbing and Chen Hao started to explain the outline structure.

After listening to the summary, Gao Yuanyuan thought for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Why do I think that fake princess is more lovable?"

In a TV series with two female protagonists, she instinctively thinks that she is a careless and fake princess who makes trouble in the Ming Dynasty. This makes it easier for the audience to accept and follow her.

"Also, what do you two say? She looks glamorous but is a bit aggressive. I feel that the princess Xia Ziwei should be played by a quiet and weak actress. The effect may be better, such as Chen Derong, Sister Hong, Hao , Jiang Qinqin’s styles.”

"You deserve to play the roles of Su Daji, Wu Meiniang, Empress Xiao, etc."

Bingbing blinked and grinned a little, "Sister Yuanyuan, are you praising me or hurting me?"

The next moment she added, "Hey, do you think Princess Huanzhu has any intention of giving a gift for her return? She will return this year. In the summer after her return, there will be a broadcast about the Ming Emperor's exiled princess returning to the palace..."

"It has a double meaning of pleasing the audience."

Gao Yuanyuan was numb, could she still explain it like this? "Okay, I'll ask the boss for you when I go to work."

It will be more than six months before he officially returns, and the filming of "The Princess Returning the Pearl" does sound festive, "But even so, you...are you going to let the (Kung Fu) crew down for a few more months?"

"If you want me to watch it, forget it. Give the role of the fake princess to Chen Hao. Xiao Hao's graduation results in Asia Drama are not very satisfactory. You can just play (Kung Fu), Harry 6, and Once Upon a Time in Once Upon a Time 3."

Fan Bingbing thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, it's just a project. It doesn't matter whether you come or not. I'll give you a big advantage, dear sister."

Chen Hao smiled brightly. Director Gao was right. When she was a child star, she received a lot of resources and grabbed a lot of good cards. Otherwise, she would not have been able to buy a convertible and drive it at the age of 16.

But after officially becoming an adult, she is 19 years old this year, and she does not have a single masterpiece.

Holding Gao Yuanyuan's arm and thanking him, Lao Chencai suddenly whispered, "Sister Yuanyuan, how about Big Boss' core attack? Is it fun?"

Director Gao didn't understand at first, but it took a few dozen seconds to pinch Chen Hao's a4 waist.
