Filia Chen joining "A Chinese Ghost Story" is undoubtedly good news for the cast members.
By now, even those who work as handymen and logistics workers on the crew have a clear understanding of the origins of Lu Chen, the film's investor and leading actor, and how popular he is in the mainland.
For a movie, the popularity of the lead actor is undoubtedly a guarantee of box office. Taking Hong Kong movies as an example, King Liu Gangsheng has made several bad movies, but these bad movies still sold well because fans are willing to support them.
Now there is another diva-level female star joining the cast. The local box office in Xiangjiang is unpredictable, but the big market in the mainland is probably not bad. You must know that Lu Chen and Filia Chen are well-known gold stars in the mainland entertainment industry.
Couple partner.
For these crew members, being able to participate in the filming and production of a popular movie, regardless of the specific remuneration, this qualification alone is extremely valuable, and their voices in the industry will be much louder.
What's more, Luchen generously provided 10% of the box office profit as a dividend reward.
The morale of the crew instantly reached ma!
The new shooting plan was quickly put together, and the stylists and makeup artists from Jiayang Pictures worked overnight to reset the image of the tree spirit grandma and perfectly portray it on Filia Chen.
The new wave combines Filia Chen's own characteristics. She is glamorous and charming with a ruthless spirit. Her gold-painted makeup and gorgeous clothes form a sharp contrast with Nie Xiaoqian, who is as pure as water and dressed in a white dress.
In Lu Chen's opinion, the image and temperament of the tree spirit grandma played by Filia Chen is undoubtedly more attractive to the audience than the character in the classic original version in his memory, and it is full of attractions.
Filia Chen also felt good. After finishing her makeup, she asked her assistant to take a photo of herself, and asked the production team's art designer to slightly modify it before posting it on her blog.
The content of the blog post is very simple [What do you think of my character image in "A Chinese Ghost Story"?]
This informal makeup photo appeared on Filia Chen's blog and immediately attracted the attention of countless fans.
Surprised, screamed, complained, and asked, click on the comments and watch the movie.
"Ah! What am I, Fei, doing?"
"A Chinese Ghost Story? Isn't it the movie I shot in Hong Kong this morning? I, Fei, also made a cameo in it?"
"It's so sexy! I can't believe it's my Fei!"
"Isn't she the heroine? I've watched "Liao Zhai", Nie Xiaoqian can't be like this!"
"It's time for guessing. Who does Fei play?"
Someone actually guessed correctly: "Could it be the villain's tree demon? No way!"
Filia Chen showed off a makeup photo without explanation, leaving countless puzzles to her fans.
In fact, this is a very clever marketing and hype method. It deliberately leaves everyone in suspense and makes fans talk about it, which invisibly promotes the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Of course, only a celebrity like her with tens of millions of blog fans can have fun. Otherwise, if she is not popular and all are zombie fans, with only a few comments, she will only be humiliating herself if she engages in suspense guessing.
.
Since Filia Chen's vacation time is limited, in the coming days, the entire crew will focus on her to shoot, and all the scenes involving her will be shot first.
This time shows the maturity and strength of Hong Kong's film industry.
Probably in order to make up for the previous mistakes, Jiayang Pictures sent all the best troops and generals here, increasing the number of crew members to 15o+. In several important links, additional professional experts in the industry were hired.
Nervous and orderly, busy but not chaotic, with the full cooperation of Chen Wenqiang and the director of Jiayang Pictures, the entire crew was like a tightly wound machine, running against the clock.
During the most prosperous period of the Hong Kong film industry, many film companies shot low-cost films and could produce a new film in a few weeks. Although there were many shoddy films, the efficiency was undoubtedly very high.
Although Hong Kong films are now in decline, this efficiency has been continued. Except for a few very individual directors, most of the directors in Hong Kong are experts in efficient filmmaking.
The director's characteristics affect the crew, and even professionals in the Hong Kong industry are used to working overtime to catch up on work.
Everyone works together to make up for the lost time.
Lu Chen is also very busy. Not only does he have to be busy with the filming work of the crew, but he also has many things outside of the crew.
For example, attending Jiang Chenghua’s apology banquet.
The third young master of the Jiang family and the boss of Honghua held a banquet at the famous Yunding Hotel in Xiangjiang. He invited Liu Zhenghao, a veteran in the industry, to act as the mediator, and Zhou Yi as the witness. It can be said that he was given enough face.
.
According to people in the industry, Jiang Chenghua almost knocked his head to the ground.
Therefore, Lu Chen must participate in person, otherwise it would mean fighting to the death with the other party, which would be worse than a slap in the face.
Of course, he will not go to the meeting alone. He will be accompanied by Li Mubai, assistants Zhang Xiaofang and Wan Yong.
There were no more or less four people. If there were fewer people, it would appear that we were alone and weak. If there were too many, it would appear that we lacked confidence and relied on strength in numbers. Although the apology banquet was not a Hongmen banquet, it still had many rules and regulations.
As for Filia Chen, she was not suitable to attend such a banquet, so Lu Chen didn't bring her with her.
Genting Hotel is located in a prime location in Mid-Levels, adjacent to the Central Business District. This five-star hotel built in the 1990s was once one of the tallest buildings in Hong Kong. The investors invited famous German designers to design it.
It does not look inferior among the surrounding high-rise buildings.
The car drove to the hotel, Liu Chen got out of the car and entered the foyer, where he saw Zhou Yi waiting in the lobby.
He was surprised: "Boss Zhou, why are you here?"
Zhou Yi said seriously: "I'm waiting for you, we are together, of course we have to go up together."
Lu Chen was dumbfounded: "Boss Zhou, you make me so embarrassed."
He knew that this was Zhou Yi's determination to stand firmly with him.
Lu Chen really admired this Xiangjiang businessman. He could afford to take things and let go of them. His interests did not matter at the moment.
Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Actually, I have just arrived and I am not familiar with Jiang Chenghua. It would be more appropriate to wait for you to come up."
He keenly noticed Li Mubai standing next to Lu Chen and asked curiously: "Who is this?"
Lu Chen introduced him briefly: "This is my friend Li Mubai, who just came from the mainland."
Zhou Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward and reached out to Li Mubai: "Hello, Mr. Li."
Li Mubai smiled faintly and shook hands with him: "Hello, Boss Zhou."
A thoughtful look flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes, and his smile returned immediately: "Then let's go up."
Taking the elevator, the group went straight to the floor where the banquet was scheduled.
