Chapter 572 Daily life of the crew

Needless to say, after sending off Yang Ying, the filming progress of the "Legend of the White Fox" crew has indeed accelerated a lot.

The crew of "Legend of the White Fox" must finish filming in late August, no later than the 25th at most.

Because Cheng Yuan will fly to Venice to award the award.

Venice is really miserable this year, and the stars are getting dimmer every year. Alberto has no choice but to invite the Chinese Legion to support the scene.

Cheng Yu'an served as the award presenter, and Zhang Yimou's "Pain and Glory" was shortlisted for the main competition, but Zhang Yimou will probably not come to Venice.

He's busy doing The Great Wall with Thomas Tull.

On the market, the box office of "Tiny Times 3" in the first four days of its first weekend exceeded 300 million, surpassing its predecessor.

Guo Jingming’s fundamentals are still stable.

Han Han's "We Will See You Again" has stepped up its pre-release publicity, and the rescheduled "The White-Haired Witch: Moon Heaven" has also increased its investment in pre-release publicity as a blockbuster blockbuster.

The film schedule in July is much more scientific, and several movies with high hopes have been delayed by at least a week.

"Xiu Chun Knife", which will be released remotely in August, has also launched screenings and campus tours in some cities.

Large-scale war scenes are a great test of a director's scheduling ability, let alone a fantasy movie like "The Legend of the White Fox".

Guo Fan had been preparing for today's war scene for two months, and he was so worried that a lot of his hair fell out.

But the actual filming was more difficult than he imagined.

Including aerial photography, he deployed ten cameras for this war scene.

More than a thousand people were mobilized.

Before filming started, he repeatedly confirmed the camera positions and lenses with the camera crew and on-site executive director.

"The aerial photography team will push me quickly from behind, and then you will pull a long panning lens from the right," Guo Fan told the photography boss, "and give Teacher Zhang a close-up, understand? Don't be too slow, but don't be too fast either.

I want that feeling of grandeur and a sense of oppression."

Guo Fan talked for a long time, and everyone understood what he meant.

Jiang Wen's hands were itching to death. He was so good at filming this kind of scene. He really wanted to kick Guo Fan and do it himself, but Cheng Yu'an refused to allow him to intervene.

In normal times, Cheng Yu'an also used him as a free guide, making him enjoy filming two scenes, and he himself was happy to help.

But in this scene, Cheng Yuan said nothing to let him start.

"You have to let him do it on his own, otherwise how will he make progress." Cheng Yu'an didn't even get started on it himself, and it was completely up to Guo Fan.

After these four months, he fully recognized Guo Fan's ability to control blockbusters. This man really has something on his mind, and he also promised Guo Fan privately that if "Legend of the White Fox" does well, the entire "Liao Zhai" series will be included in the future.

The entire series will be handed over to Guo Fan.

This made Guo Fan very motivated.

"Okay." Guo Fan sat back in the director's chair, "Every department is ready, let's do it again. 3 2 1, let's start."

"Stuck! No, horse, horse, horse!" Within half a minute something went wrong, "I've told you so many times, let me hold the horse."

Some of the war scenes were shot in green screen before, and now they have to be shot in real action.

"Wrong! The monsters got up early."

do it again.

"Card!" the on-site executive director shouted.

Guo Fan immediately became angry: "Who shouted "Ka!"

The execution almost scares me to death.

"This is pretty good, who called for the card! You are filming this, and you don't listen to me no matter what you say." Guo Fan angrily ran to the venue and cursed, "One card is worth hundreds of thousands, you have to pay for it!

Again!"

After another ten minutes of preparation: "Okay, let's start!"

This war scene does not last longer than 20 minutes in the feature film, but the actual shooting took almost 20 days to complete.

Director, producer and supervising producer Cheng Yu'an cursed people on the set in different ways every day.

Filming is a very stressful job. There is no crew that does not curse, but everyone knows that it is for the good of the show, and they will not take it seriously. If you are scolded, you have to correct it and strive to do better.

Tong Liya and Dong Zijian were scolded the most because they were the protagonists.

Tong Liya was used to being scolded by Cheng Yu'an, so she acted as a close sister on the set, responsible for guiding Dong Zijian, Liu Yan and others.

"Don't take it seriously, he is just like that. After scolding him, everything will be fine." Liu Yan was scolded for half a month and doubted whether she was suitable for being an actor. A person in her thirties was scolded by Guo Fan and others to the point where she hid.

Crying in the hotel room.

When Chen Zhixi came to visit the class with Dapeng, he even blamed these gentlemen for bullying a girl.

Da Peng has the best relationship with Liu Yan. It is normal for him to come to visit Liu Yan's class, but it is puzzling for Chen Zhixi to come with him.

"He wanted to make a movie, and I voted for him." Chen Zhixi explained to Cheng Yu'an.

Cheng Yu'an generally wouldn't ask about this kind of investment.

"If he makes a movie, Fox Factory won't pay for it?" Dapeng is from Fox Factory.

"Yes. But Fox Factory has no production capacity. They also want to make movies, but the first movie has to rely on the production company." Chen Zhixi also has a good relationship with Dapeng. She admires Dapeng very much, so that's why she

I decided to cast him, "He wanted to make a movie about making movies, which is quite interesting."

Cheng Yuan immediately realized that this movie was "Pancake Man".

It was bad, but it was really profitable. He had no objection to this kind of film, not to mention that Chen Zhixi had already decided to invest in it and he couldn't spend a lot of money, so why not do it.

Da Peng also came to visit the class with a learning attitude. He wanted to see how Cheng Yu'an made the film and wanted to ask for advice.

Cheng Yu'an had a good impression of Dapeng, who was very loyal.

It’s also really good for Liu Yan.

In the original time and space, Liu Yan was "banned" because of the bridesmaid incident, and only Da Peng filmed for her.

Moreover, Dapeng is actually quite talented, and the performance of "Sewing Machine Band" was very good.

If it weren't for the negative reputation of "Pancake Man", the box office of "Sewing Machine Band" would definitely be more than this.

And his next film "Auspicious Ruyi" is indeed very good.

Not to mention the short film "Mulan", it can be seen that Da Peng has talent and ideas.

He is a director worthy of support.

Which director has never made a bad movie? Kaige has "The Promise" and "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", Yimou has "Three Guns", not to mention Feng Xiaogang.

As long as you don't be like Director Guo, every movie is bad.

Therefore, Cheng Yuan is also willing to communicate with him:

"I have never made a comedy, so I can't give you any specific opinions."

"You're welcome." Dapeng smiled.

"But we have a comedy team."

"Are you happy Mahua?" Dapeng knew Happy Mahua, "They are very popular in the comedy circle in Beijing, and I often go to see their plays."

"Well, their first movie will be released soon. You can communicate with them. Their comedy skills have been honed through thousands of drama performances. You should be able to gain something from learning from them."

After finishing the exchange with Dapeng, Chen Zhixi asked him again to talk about Zhou Xingxing: "He is really a lion with a big mouth."

Zhou Xingxing broke up with Huayi and took over his new film remotely.

"He asked for 200 million, but he only gave us 40%, and he also wanted the director's share." Chen Zhixi was very dissatisfied with Zhou Xingxing's quotation. The cost of "Mermaid" exceeded 300 million, "I said 200 million would be fine.

, but the actor wanted to use ours, but he didn’t agree and only promised to give us a female lead.”

Cheng Yu'an was not surprised at all about Zhou Xingxing's appetite: "Give it. These three words Zhou Xingxing are worth 200 million.

"We'll forget about it after we've collaborated on this movie. It's too painful to hire a director like Zhou Xingxing. Unless he stars in it himself, there's no need for us to flatter him later."

In Cheng Yu'an's case, Zhou Xingxing did not have the aura of childhood. He knew very well that Zhou Xingxing was a businessman who loved money as much as his life. When talking about money, it was fine.

Calculating money matters clearly will save you the hassle of going back and forth later.

Cheng Yu'an's thoughts coincided with Chen Zhixi's: "I'll talk to Zhou Xingxing again to see if we can lower the price. It's still early to start production.

"We have no shortage of hit directors." This is Yuan Yuan's biggest reliance. Without relying on individual directors, he can still achieve a market value of hundreds of billions.

"The studio in the Oriental Movie Capital is about to start construction. I went to see it. It is very large and should be able to meet our shooting needs for all subsequent blockbusters."

The flat green screen studio at Wanda Oriental Studios is cooperating with Yuan Yuan, and they have signed a filming contract with Yuan Yuan for the next 10 movies.
