With Xia Yu's approval, Brian booked a flight in late February - his first stop was China...
Wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a backpack, he looked very much like a backpacker. The first stop was China, but where exactly he was going—no one knew;
Antonio and Daniel are both very envious, but in comparison, they have been idle for too long - even if they ask for leave, they will not be approved.
Daniel's role in "The Hunger Games 2" increased, so after "The Hunger Games 1", he quickly devoted himself to polishing the character of "The Hunger Games 2" - he did not want to film in "The Hunger Games 2" at all
to take all of Ashley's firepower.
The filming of "Succession Part 1" has ended.
Because of the popularity of "Twilight 1", Xia Yu's mood changed - so she held a meeting with Zhuang Ling and Ashley.
Xia Yu feels that as far as the current situation is concerned, if not, the filming of "The Hunger Games·1" has been completed, and because of the release of "Twilight··1", the gambling agreement signed with Mindli Pictures came into effect, she might
Filming temporarily suspended...
It's not that I no longer have ambitions for this R-rated literary world - it's just that in the past two years, I have been filming these two series of movies, and I feel a sense of fatigue and inability to adapt.
In other words, the filming of these commercial films consumes too much of her enthusiasm for movies.
It is not a question of the quality of commercial films or literary films, but the collision between the performance form and the acting skills of the actors.
She needs a performance that is evenly matched and can interpret another life form of the character.
She was certainly diligent and dedicated during the filming of "Twilight Series" and the current "Hunger Games Series". From the perspective of her character, it can be seen that she was not NG once, but she is also relatively "lazy".
Perhaps it was Brian's words and the unusual Green City decision that gave Xia Yu new inspiration.
"For me, every scene is not an enjoyment, but a copy - my performance form is already like a pool of stagnant water..."
"I also need some time to recharge, maybe a quick trip..."
Xia Yu knew that this was not realistic, so, "...it can also be a fun movie shooting!"
In this meeting, the question Xia Yu wanted to express was, "I hope to end the filming of "The Hunger Games Series" as soon as possible, and whether it is "Succession Series" or other TV shootings or post-production, I
No longer involved."
As for Brian, he has already gone his own way. Even if Xia Yu does not provide lyrics and music in the future, with his creative talents, after returning from recharge this year, he will still have a place in the global music scene.
Xia Yu looked apologetic and asked Zhuang Ling, "Can senior sister completely take over the management of the bankrupt sister?"
Zhuang Ling, "Have you made your decision?"
"Yes, I have decided to return to my career as an actor..."
"good!"
Before making this decision, Xia Yu was a little uneasy, but she did overestimate herself. She originally thought that it would not be difficult to build a film and television empire for bankrupt sisters while acting...
In fact, these two things put together really consume a lot of my patience and performance expectations.
When this matter was mentioned, Xia Yu's tense spirit seemed to be relieved all of a sudden.
Even during the filming of "The Hunger Games 2", Ashley could clearly feel that Xia Yu's performance was more pure.
It's like she has completely broken away from her status as "Xia Yu", "Twilight Girl", and "The Leader of Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television"...
It's still an impeccable performance, but at the height of this performance, it feels more comfortable to go lower.
"The Hunger Games 2" officially started filming after only a seven-day reading period.
With the foundation of "The Hunger Games Part 1", not only the reading went smoothly, but also the filming process, the special performance...the training of the actors, and the performance of the actors are all obvious to all. With the knowledge of "The Hunger Games Part 1",
All the actors gave their best.
The filming was originally scheduled to be completed at the end of April, but it was advanced to mid-April. When the last scene was filmed, everyone was still in a daze:
"Is this the end of filming?"
No wonder they were surprised, the filming went so smoothly. In just 34 days of filming, a blockbuster was completed!
But if we list the schedule one by one, the daily shooting schedule of "The Hunger Games 2" is almost more than fifteen hours. Thirty-four days is equivalent to the seventy-day shooting schedule of other crews. This is not so surprising.
People were surprised.
There are people who are complaining behind their backs, but the crew and logistics staff won’t talk about it.
Every day is an overload of work.
Fortunately, the increase in wages makes them feel that they can continue with this intensity of work for another month or two!
The actors felt the obvious improvement in their acting skills, and they all gritted their teeth and shut up.
"The Hunger Games Series" also has four parts, one and two will be placed in the first half of the year, and three and four will be placed in the second half of the year. Whether it is the staff or the cast, they originally thought that they would have to shoot in June. Unexpectedly, in mid-April
The shooting is over.
There are still five months until the filming in mid-September. Thinking of the five-month vacation, the whole team was instantly relieved from their fatigue.
A closing banquet is indispensable.
After the wedding banquet, Xia Yu first accompanied Ashley back to Los Angeles and stayed at Broke Sisters for ten days.
These ten days are also used to control the post-editing of "The Hunger Games 1" and "The Hunger Games 2".
Seeing Ashley gradually getting used to it, Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling finished handling the matter of the bankrupt sisters, and finally returned to China one week before Tao Tang's due date.
After Tao Tang became pregnant, several parties communicated. In the past six months, she had indeed lived in the manor for a while, but Tao Tang was indeed used to being alone.
It's not that I'm lonely, but that I'm used to doing things by myself and giving myself a sense of security.
This point is still maintained even after getting married, and it is also a point that Xie Ran feels distressed and has no choice about - he is already forty years old, and his living habits and everything have long been fixed.
Gradually, she changed to living in the manor for one or two days a week, occasionally going to Tao Garden to have a meal with Mr. Tao, and returning to her and Xie Ran's home for the rest.
Usually Tao Zhang and Song Xi would go over to have a meal with her.
Because Tao Tang is pregnant, Xie Ran's task becomes even more difficult, as long as he can return to the imperial capital every month, but fortunately, he has finally accumulated enough military exploits.
Xia Yu also heard what Tao Zhang said.
For more than half a year, Xia Yu did not return to China because he wanted to return before Tao Tang's due date.
Tao Tang's birth was a big event, and there were several discussions and disputes over whether it should be a natural birth or a caesarean section.
In the end, it was Tao Tang or Xie Ran and his wife who made the decision and chose a caesarean section.
Of course, both methods of delivery have their own advantages and disadvantages. Xie Ran and his wife did not discuss which one was better, but for an older woman like Tao Tang, in terms of the weight of the fetus and the prevention of various complications, they chose caesarean section.
When Xia Yu got off the plane, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening. She had tried her best to hide her itinerary... She was just worried that Tao Tang would wander around again and again, so as not to cause any problems. But after getting off the plane, she saw it at a glance
Something went wrong.
Xia Yu asked Dai Chengbi and his wife to pick him up at the airport, but the nanny car he drove belonged to the manor.
When the door opened, it was not only Dai Chengbi and his wife, their daughter, their son, but also Teacher Yong Xia, and most importantly, the pregnant Tao Tang.
