Chapter 272 The future is worrying 'Ghost Blowing the Lamp'
On October 28th, XSBN of Yunnan Province, "Operation Mekong" has officially started filming here. Li He has only come to report now due to schedule reasons.
Before filming, Li Hyuk also had to do a series of training, such as gun-holding postures, shooting movements, etc. His physical fitness was not a problem, and the long-term fitness results were very good, and all kinds of movements were effortless.
Although director Lin Chaoxian was dissatisfied with Li Hyuk's casting as Fang Xinwu, he had to admit that Li Hyuk was indeed a good choice.
In order to match the character setting, the crew also hired a Burmese teacher to teach Li He. In fact, on the side of Myanmar close to China, many people can actually speak Chinese, and some even speak the local minority languages of Yunnan Province.
Li He did not need to fully master Burmese, as long as he knew what the plot required. In addition, Li He felt that an intelligence officer who had been hanging around in the three countries for a long time needed to be able to speak the languages of the other two countries, so he learned Thai and mastered it.
Probably, barely enough.
"Operation Mekong" was filmed in Thailand and Myanmar. The crew originally wanted to shoot in the Golden Triangle, but the producer vetoed it. The reason is simple: it was too dangerous.
"Here, drink..." Zhang Hanyu handed Li He a bottle of drink.
"Thank you..." Li He took it and drank several sips.
Zhang Hanyu wore short sleeves, wiped his sweat, and said to Li He, "I didn't expect it to be so hot here."
"The climate here is tropical. Of course it's hot, but it's different from the north." Li He said with a smile.
"Yes, with such a high temperature, I even suspected that I was going to suffer from heatstroke, not to mention the intense action scenes." Zhang Hanyu pointed at the little girl who played Guo Bing in the crew and said: "She is extremely hot."
"I think she's very good at it. She does almost all the action scenes herself and doesn't need a stunt double," Li He said.
There is nothing worth mentioning about Lam Chiu-hsien's literary drama, which is just average, but he is good at action scenes and big scenes. Maybe all Hong Kong directors are good at this.
"Work has started, work has started..."
Following the assistant director's voice, the crew began arduous filming again. Filming here was a torture, but none of the cast members raised any objections.
Li Hyuk's performance was also beyond Lin Chaoxian's expectations. He did not have the arrogance of ordinary young meat. He came to the crew to film the movie honestly, and performed all the action scenes himself. His agility, smooth movements, and he could not get out of the line of fire even with minor injuries, which made Lin Chaoxian
My impression of Li Hyuk has been greatly improved.
It’s the same traffic, but there are differences between each traffic. Traffic like Li He’s is the only one, and no other semicolon is used.
After just over a month of working together, the crew got better and better, and the filming went smoothly.
At the same time, after the excitement of the National Day period, the film market, which had been dormant for more than a month, is once again lively, and the annual Lunar New Year period is about to begin.
This year's National Day release can be said to have created quite a surprise. Several films performed well. The most surprising one is undoubtedly "Charlotte" produced by Wanda Pictures and Xinli Media Happy Mahua, which created 1.444 billion
Excellent box office performance, showing the myth of box office dark horse.
"Charlotte" can be said to be a model of a dark horse's counterattack. Shen Teng, who is already somewhat famous, can be said to have become an instant hit in the comedy film industry, becoming a mainland comedy star after Xu Zheng.
Although Xu Zheng's "囧" has a mediocre reputation, its box office is indeed high. The box office of 1.611 billion is enough for investors to make a fortune, and it is temporarily ranked fourth in the annual box office.
One worth mentioning is "Nine-Storey Demon Tower". Due to its poor special effects and poor plot, coupled with the actors' poor performances, the director Lu Chuan was criticized both verbally and written, and the lead actor Zhao Youting was also criticized by fans of the original book and became a hot search topic.
Although the box office is good, and the box office of 6.81 can also make the producer a profit, the poor reputation has completely lowered the value of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series.
Fortunately, this work has been adapted so much that there is no trace of the original work at all, and book fans do not recognize it as a series of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
Under such circumstances, "The Secret of the Dragon" released its official trailer, which attracted a lot of attention.
Jiang Shengsheng is a loyal fan of Ghost Blowing Lamp. When "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" was released, he specially brought a few good buddies to support the movie. Who would have thought that it would be such a bad movie. Several buddies posted on the Internet
Regardless of the scolding, Jiang Shengsheng was still aggrieved, and even disdained "The Secret of the Dragon".
Reviewing the plot in the book, Jiang Shengsheng cursed secretly: "Chinese directors are rubbish. If this was left to Spielberg or Nolan, who wouldn't be able to make it well?"
His thoughts are also those of fans of "The Three-Body Problem". The film and television adaptation of "The Three-Body Problem" has been in the works for several years. There are rumors that Zhang Fanfan has obtained the copyright and has filmed it, but there has been no movement recently. There are also rumors that it will be adapted.
It was adapted into a TV series, but because it involved special historical reasons, it was stuck in the review process and was not given the go-ahead.
A group of fans of The Three-Body Problem were furious, scolding the giant scissors for ruining Chinese movies, and scolding Chinese directors for being useless. Then some fans suddenly thought, what would happen if Nolan was asked to film?
But this is impossible. Li Hyuk recently talked with Nolan, who is preparing a World War II-themed movie to praise merit. It can be said that politics has never been far away from the film industry.
Roommate Wan Xiaotong came back from playing basketball. When he saw Jiang Shengsheng cursing everything, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sheng'er, who are you scolding?"
"It's not like this SB director is trying to ruin me, damn it..." Jiang Shengsheng became more and more excited as he scolded.
"Calm down, calm down. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, scissors are not allowed to have ghosts. There is nothing I can do about it. However, the filming of "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" was really bad. Even if there are no ghosts, it still doesn't make sense." Wan Xiaotong said.
"Yeah, let me tell you, it seems that "The Secret of the Dragon" is also a bad movie." Jiang Shengsheng said.
Another roommate, Hu Youbin, also came back: "What are you talking about?"
"We were discussing Ghost Blowing the Lantern, and we didn't know if "The Secret of the Dragon" was a bad movie." Wan Xiaotong explained.
Hu Youbin shook his head and said: "I don't want "The Secret of the Dragon" to be a bad movie. The quality is pretty good."
"Really? Have you seen it?" Jiang Shengsheng asked.
"The trailer is out, haven't you seen it?" Hu Youbin asked.
"I really don't know, where can I look?"
"It is available on Penguin Video and Bilibili. My girlfriend is a fan of Li He, and I am also attracted by it," Hu Youbin said.
Jiang Shengsheng and Wan Xiaotong gave a contemptuous gesture. Having a girlfriend is great, right?
After watching the trailer, Jiang Shengsheng felt pretty good: "The trailer is okay, but I don't know how the feature film will be like?"
"We'll know when the time comes, but now Li Hyuk's new movie "The Martian" is released. It's a Hollywood science fiction blockbuster. Why don't you go see it?" Hu Youbin said.
"Why don't you go?"
"My girlfriend and I came back from watching it."
"roll……"
"There is no humanity in people of the opposite sex..." The two of them showed their middle fingers at the same time, and Jiang Shengsheng wondered: "That's not right, don't you usually go to check out a room after watching a movie? Why are you back again?"
"Hey, don't mention it. I said hello to Li He and she started to have conflicts with me." Hu Youbin said depressedly.
"Hahahaha, you deserve it..." Jiang Shengsheng and Wan Xiaotong laughed mercilessly, bringing back the resentment of the singles.
Wan Xiaotong changed his clothes and said, "Let's go and see each other..."
"Wait, why don't you call me boss?" Hu Youbin asked.
"Who knows which library he is in? He works so hard." Jiang Shengsheng shook his head and said.
Just as he was talking, Zhao Peng, the boss of the dormitory, came back. Looking at Jiang Shengsheng and Wan Xiaotong who were neatly tidied up, he asked, "What are you doing?"
"Watch the movie and then string, are you going?" Jiang Shengsheng asked.
"We AA..." Wan Xiaotong added.
"Okay," Zhao Peng agreed, then changed his face and said, "How about we AAB!"
"What is AAB?" Hu Youbin was confused.
"It's you AA, I'll lick your B face." Zhao Peng said.
"You are so shameless..."
"Just kidding, A Bin, are you going?"
"I won't go, I still have to coax my girlfriend." Hu Youbin pointed to the phone.
The three of them looked at each other with disdain and went out together.
