Chapter 759: Arrival in Shenzhen 1 and 2 Situations
Night, Shenzhen.
The high-rise buildings are lined up in rows, and the flashing neon lights smudge the ink-like night sky, creating a gorgeous picture like aurora of various colors filling the sky.
The crew of sixty or seventy people came to Shenzhen from the capital, just like coming from the bustling city and going to the prosperous city. The journey spanning thousands of miles witnessed the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. The prosperous cities in the north and south also showed that the motherland is prosperous.
prosperity.
The biggest difference between the south and the north is that Shenzhen is really hot.
"Oh, let me go, this weather is so comfortable." Huang Bo walked in the airport passage, took off his sunglasses and took a deep breath, enjoying the warmth of the Shenzhen night.
"In places where the temperature ranges from a few degrees to more than 20 degrees at a time, don't be too busy taking off your clothes and clothes just to cool down. Take a hot bath and sleep well to let your body adapt to it when you go back. Otherwise, you will be in trouble if you don't adapt to the climate. If there is something wrong tomorrow
Anyone who feels uncomfortable should come to me. I have prepared some ointments for external application and Chinese medicine for internal use to solve such problems." Liu Xiaoli warned everyone.
"I heard that the crews with aunties are always the most considerate, and now I feel it. No wonder Lao Chu and Xixi's every drama is so good. With such a mother, I can't even think about not filming well." Zhou Jielun said,
I feel warm because of Liu Xiaoli’s care.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were walking beside them, smiling with Lu Chuan, Ning Hao, Huang Lei and Yang Mi.
Although Liu Xiaoli is not a person in the industry, she is still somewhat famous in the industry. All the actors who have been in the same group as Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei say that Liu's mother is good. This is not without reason.
"Fairy mother must be doing well." Nabi, dressed like a little princess, expressed her thoughts clearly from behind.
"Hahaha..." Everyone was amused by such pure words. Tang Jili nodded slightly: "Little Nabi is right."
Fairy mother?...Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei turned to look at Nabi, each of them couldn't help laughing.
Liu Xiaoli paused and turned around, caressing little Nabi's face lovingly. It didn't matter if she was praised by someone of Zhou Jielun's age. After hearing it many times, she was just happy about it, but this was the first time she was praised by someone who was not her age.
Such pure praise from an overly familiar child made her feel elated and very happy.
Ouyang's mother saw that Liu Xiaoli doted on her daughter, and she smiled with relief and joy.
A group of people walked towards the exit of the passage, and saw a scene with different reactions in front of them from a distance.
Just like "The Talents" and "Struggle" back then, the former was shot in Shenghai, while the latter was shot in Beijing. When shooting in the city, public places will be occupied, which naturally requires dealing with the relevant departments in advance.
Back then, "Talent and Beauty" was welcomed by relevant departments due to Lin Xinru's high popularity, and it also played a certain role in publicity for the city of Shenghai and some business districts.
"Struggle" relied on the influence of Zhao Baogang himself and the influence of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei as the "national couple" at that time, to achieve urban publicity for the Beijing Theater School and certain business districts in the capital.
In the two dramas before and after, many places in them have become check-in spots for fans, providing some help to cultural tourism promotion and urban consumption.
As the celebrity effect has become more and more intense in recent years, relevant departments have paid varying degrees of attention to celebrities filming in cities.
"My Love from the Star" takes real-life scenes in Shenzhen almost from beginning to end. Cinemas, office buildings, CBD, streets, parks, etc. are all places that can be used to vigorously promote the appearance of the city.
When the production team came to Shenzhen to communicate with the cultural and tourism department, the Cultural and Tourism Bureau heard about this situation and it was the work of three superstars, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Zhou Jielun. You can imagine the publicity for Shenzhen that will be triggered.
, which has attracted great attention from relevant departments.
This level of attention also made Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei never expect that Shenzhen Cultural Tourism would welcome them in public with a banner - "Warmly welcome the crew of "My Love from the Star" to Shenzhen for filming."
The big red banner is eye-catching, attracting a large number of tourists to stop and watch.
Seeing the crew appearing, some passengers screamed like thunder.
"ah--"
"Chu Xuan!!"
"Liu Yifei!!"
"Zhou Jielun!!"
Some passers-by still don’t know about “My Love from the Star”, but they just follow the knowledgeable tourists and watch curiously.
Now that I saw the presence of a group of celebrities, I was so excited that I picked up my mobile phone without saying anything and squeezed to the front to take pictures.
Moreover, the paparazzi, media and self-media who received the news from the press conference had already been waiting for everyone's arrival at the airport. Without saying a word, they picked up their cameras to shoot the scene of the "Star You" crew arriving in Shenzhen, which also brought cultural tourism to the scene.
The department's welcome banner was captured in the frame.
Once upon a time, there were a few film crews who could receive such high-level treatment and have people from relevant departments come to greet them in person.
"My Love from the Star" did it and gained an aura that even the crew of well-known directors could not achieve. This is the influence of Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Zhou Jielun. The star effect of this super king combination is simply unparalleled in this era.
unparalleled.
Not to mention how proud and happy the audience and fans will be when this news is spread online, it will also trigger extraordinary popularity if it is only spread to Shenzhen. This makes the paparazzi, media and self-media very passionate and criticizing the scene.
All kinds of scenes were shot at once.
Facing the huge crowd in front of them, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli and all the crew members straightened their bodies. This situation was so unexpected that everyone was caught off guard.
"Director Chu and Producer Liu didn't mention this situation either." The crew members murmured in their hearts.
This is not to blame the couple. They only received news that people from the cultural tourism industry would come to greet them, but they really did not expect it to be greeted in such a way. They showed up at the entrance with a banner, as if they were afraid that the tourists would not see it.
So warm and grand.
The couple thought that if this scene were released through the news, audiences across the country would surely feel Shenzhen's enthusiasm for tourists, and with the enthusiasm of the crew's arrival, this enthusiasm would be spread widely. Shenzhen Culture and Tourism should have
Such purpose.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I'll go, this treatment..." Yang Mi, Zhang Ruoyun, Li Xin, Zhu Yilong, Song Qian and other actors were pleasantly surprised.
Under the aura of the collective honor of the crew, these little-known actors can enjoy the treatment of being picked up by relevant departments and countless passengers. This is unimaginable, which makes them excited and proud.
"Is this the influence of popularity..." Zhang Songwen, Wen Zhengrong, Zhang Luyi and Qin Hao sighed.
Should actors pay attention to popularity? This is something they never cared about in the past when they only focused on acting.
But what they saw in front of them caused a slight change in their mentality. It would be false to say that they were not envious of such a situation, but the so-called popularity would deteriorate their desire to perform, which was very conflicting.
But Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei don't pay much attention to popularity. They are nowhere to be seen in the messy things, and they are nowhere to be found in various vanity fairs. But they are so popular, and after all, they still have some good works and classic roles.
.
It seems that there is no conflict between popularity and the nature of an actor. It is nothing more than whether there are works and roles that can penetrate the hearts of the audience.
Several actors quickly adjusted their mentality and became more focused on the roles they were about to perform.
"Chu Xuan! You are so handsome!" Some fans were excited.
"Liu Yifei! You are so beautiful!" a fan shouted excitedly.
"Chou is so handsome!" A fan yelled at Jay Chou.
"When will Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei get married?!" a fan asked with concern.
"Chu Xuan! Did your visit to Wuhan go well during the Chinese New Year?" a fan asked.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. No one else worried about these fans more than themselves.
They and Zhou Jielun walked out with the crew, waving hello and walking through the enthusiastic crowd step by step.
"Hello leaders, you are too polite and flattered."
"We are very happy that you can come to Shenzhen for filming."
People from the production team in Shenzhen, art coordinator Qi Mu, and people from Fang Wenshan's cultural tourism team were there to greet them. Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Zhou Jielun shook hands with everyone and exchanged greetings.
At the suggestion of the deputy director of the production team, I took a group photo with the leaders under the banner to match Shenzhen Cultural Tourism's enthusiasm for tourists from all over the country.
Influenced by Aiwujiwu, Yang Mi, Song Qian and others were asked to sign autographs and take group photos with fans from behind, and were also captured by paparazzi and the media.
With their respective assistants and crew support staff around to protect them, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and other members of the directing team didn't care. It would also be beneficial for "Star You" for the actors to be more exposed and publicized, so they headed out with the leaders.
.
"Director Chu, we hope that in addition to the scenes that should be in the play, if you are free, you can also shoot more extra scenes, especially some iconic scenes. If there are Director Chu and Producer Liu, superstars like you can take photos.
, that’s the best thing to do to promote our city.”
"Okay, we also appreciate the scenery of Shenzhen, an international metropolis. Every time we take a photo, we will ask one or two actors, including me and Producer Liu, to take the stills ourselves, and then let the production team send them to Shenzhen Cultural Tourism.
Email, let’s promote this beautiful city together.”
"Then thank you, Director Chu."
"The leader is very polite. You can allow us to occupy some locations for filming, and you will also help us promote the drama. We should be grateful to Shenzhen Cultural Tourism."
One party is for the better development of the city, the other is for the better presentation of art, and both parties have their own needs.
After a few exchanges of greetings, the group of people waved goodbye when they arrived at the square and went in separate directions to their respective vehicles.
Under the arrangement of the production team, there were quite a few cars coming to pick up the crew. Several nanny vans and about a dozen commercial vehicles were lined up along the street.
"Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Zhou Jielun, where will you shoot? I will come to see you then!" A fan said reluctantly when he saw everyone getting in the car and leaving.
It was difficult to answer this question. The couple and Zhou Jielun just smiled and waved to the fans who were following them, and then turned around and got into the nanny car.
After watching people get on the bus, some passengers left. More passengers, media and paparazzi ran back to join in the fun, and there were also big-ticket celebrities behind them.
"Director Chu, Producer Liu, a new director and a new producer, how do you feel about this treatment?" Liu Xiaoli sat down on the sofa and immediately joked with the couple.
Zhou Jielun, Tang Jili and other teachers looked at them with interest. Liu Yifei bit her lower lip and said, "Pressure."
Chu Xuan nodded and added: "It's also lucky."
Once the news of the press conference spreads, there will definitely be different reactions.
I received this kind of treatment when I first came to Shenzhen, which will only increase the response.
This is what he could expect.
As a new director, he was praised even before he started filming. This is really lucky. It will undoubtedly raise the ceiling of "Star You".
But this is also pressure. If "Star You" eventually fails, it will naturally face a violent blow from the market.
If it's just an actor, that's it. A character is just one of the components of a drama. As an actor, you should interpret your role well and then call it a day. As for the quality of the filming, the quality of the production process, and the results after it is broadcast, in essence
It actually has nothing to do with the actors, that's the director's business.
So now as a director, he can no longer be as calm and relaxed as before, and he has some baggage in his heart that he didn't have as an actor in the past.
Therefore, he is not going to watch the news, and he is not going to have any contact with the outside world until "Star You" is finished, because he is worried that all kinds of support and expectations or other voices will bring more burdens to him.
But having a heavy burden is not necessarily a bad thing. If you regard it as a spur, the momentum it brings will be a greater incentive for him.
"Let's go first." Chu Xuan said to the driver.
Liu Yifei looked out the window and smiled knowingly when she saw Yang Mi, Song Qian, several actors of the same age, and Zhang Songwen, several senior actors, being sought after by the media and enthusiastic tourists.
This unexpected moment of exposure came suddenly, and it cannot be said that their career will prosper, but it is also a good start, and she is happy for them.
She and Chu Xuan thought the same. The rare exposure opportunity left them more time, so she and her group went to the hotel first to take care of the overall situation.
A five-star hotel, with banners from top to bottom on the tall building - welcoming the crew of "My Love from the Star" to the hotel.
There were two rows of flower baskets arranged at the entrance of the lobby. The hotel owner, the lobby manager and the waiters gave Chu Xuan and the others high-standard courtesy.
"Mr. Chu, Mr. Liu, and Director Zhou, welcome, welcome, welcome."
"Mr. Wu, we are here to disturb you."
"Anyway, I won't be happy enough."
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Zhou Jielun shook hands with Mr. Wu, the hotel service sponsor of "Star You", who was very enthusiastic.
After the crew moved in, his hotel could be promoted, using the names of Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Zhou Jielun to create a wave of popularity promotion, thus attracting more people in Shenzhen to come and stay, so that the crew could earn N times the cost of living for free.
Come back, capital will always be profitable.
There is a restaurant on the second floor of the hotel. It is now past nine o'clock in the evening. Hundreds of crew members from Shenzhen are waiting in the restaurant for the crew from Beijing to come to have dinner. It is a small celebration for the reunion of the crews from both sides, not a launch party.
It's better than a boot-up party.
Seeing Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei appear, the atmosphere of noisy exchanges turned into a unified welcome applause, welcoming the arrival of the core crew.
"On behalf of the director team, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you all for your hard work in preparations these past few months. The preparations for these months are all for "Star You" to have a good situation. This is the goal you have worked hard for. I hereby announce that
, starts the day after tomorrow!”
"oh--!"
The planning stage is also work, but it is not considered formal work. It is more like a temporary entrustment. What is signed is a temporary agreement and not a standard contract.
In the shooting stage after the camera is started, the props and makeup matters need to be prepared within a limited time, as well as all the external negotiation matters need to be completed in a timely manner every day. This is the real work link, and a formal labor contract needs to be signed.
contract.
Therefore, there is a big difference between the salary of personnel in the planning stage and the salary of personnel during filming.
Once the crew starts filming and signs a formal contract, it means that the crew's income will increase significantly.
Therefore, after hearing Chu Xuan's speech, it was clear that the machine would be launched the day after tomorrow, which made everyone happy and excited.
In such an atmosphere, the gathering of the two crews was naturally lively.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei ate a few bites of food in a hurry and then went upstairs. They took the shooting plan, the storyboard script and a stack of contract documents to be signed from the production team, and walked eagerly to the door of the room.
"Go to bed early, don't work too late, and take a hot bath first." Liu Xiaoli asked at the door of the next room.
"Okay, Mom, you should go to bed early." Chu Xuan said, opened the door with his card and walked in with Liu Yifei.
It has only been a few days since he changed his mind. During this period, every time Chu Xuan called "Mom", Liu Xiaoli felt very happy. Seeing the couple entering the room, she also walked into the room in a beautiful mood, ready to experience the excitement of coming to Shenzhen.
On the first night, I took my laptop and checked the real estate situation in Shenzhen.
For her, filming is secondary, and the wedding room is the top priority.
Listening to their mother's words, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei simply packed their luggage and took a hot bath together. They each wore bathrobes and returned to the bedroom to dry their hair with a hair dryer.
Seeing the air conditioner remote control, Chu Xuan subconsciously wanted to turn on the heating, but the next moment the suitable temperature in the room made him realize that this was Shenzhen, not the capital, which made him shake his head mockingly and put the remote control away again.
"Do you still want to turn on the air conditioner?" Liu Yifei felt like she was out of bath. She didn't wear any shoes. She walked barefoot on the blanket and came to the window. She "swiped" the curtains and opened the curtains. The beautiful view of the city came into view. She opened the small half of the window and opened the window.
The warm evening breeze blowing from outside is very refreshing.
"I thought I was at home." Chu Xuan picked up the shooting plan and storyboard and went to bed, looking at the bed, quilt and pillows with discomfort.
When Liu Yifei went to bed and came to him, the discomfort in his heart instantly felt relieved. The discomfort caused by the unfamiliar environment would be diluted and dissipated in front of the pleasant feeling of them being together.
"There are a lot of contracts, personnel labor contracts, sponsorship and start-up contracts, which need to be finalized before the day after tomorrow. Shenzhen cultural tourism promotion guidelines, and how to promote them. I still have to act, and I have to control the funds. Oh my god, I am exhausted.
"Liu Yifei fell weakly on Chu Xuan's shoulders.
She was verbally venting her frustrations about having too many things to do, but in her heart she was hopeful and full of motivation. It was as if she was speaking sarcastically, but she was actually showing off and happy that she could personally take charge of major events on the set.
When she was the producer of "Zhu Xian", she was supported by the chief producer Zhang Jizhong, and the director Zhao Jian was watching over the crew. She and Chu Xuan only studied and played.
This time there is no one in charge, and the director is her husband, so they can only rely on themselves for this production trip.
In addition to having the power to satisfy some of her vanity, the fact that she had full control over the production for the first time also gave her a lot of freshness and made her full of expectations for the next stage of filming.
Hearing his wife's complaints, Chu Xuan immediately recognized her inner movements in the opposite direction, and read the text in his hand with a smile.
"I'm going to stay up all night today!" Liu Yifei was suddenly in high spirits, taking a pen and seal and getting ready to work.
Just like that, the couple were leaning side by side on the bed, one was dealing with the contract documents that the producer should handle, and the other was planning the shooting plan that the director should make.
Men and women are matched, so work is not tiring.
Clear division of labor and get twice the result with half the effort.
A new identity and new experience, without too much communication, but with the same tacit cooperation as before. Perhaps this is an interpretation of the husband and wife's unity.
