Zao City, Fanxing Film and Television City Republic of China Branch Base
After the first phase of the project was completed in 2005, it was opened to the outside world. New projects have been launched one after another, with an investment of no less than hundreds of millions. It is currently the film and television base with the largest area in Shandong Province, the most complete construction facilities, the largest number of film crews, and the largest number of tourists.
Last year in 2008, Fanxing Zao Citizen Base was officially rated as a national 4a-level scenic spot and worked hard to apply for a 5a-level scenic spot.
However, it is still very difficult. Currently, among the major film and television bases across the country, only Xinwu Film and Television City, a subsidiary of CCTV, is a 5a scenic spot.
The main base of Fanxing Film and Television City located in Baiyangdian and Hengdian, which is jointly listed as the "Two Major Film and Television City in North and South China", are currently 4a, and have been applying for upgrades in the past two years.
Now this matter has improved. If nothing happens, the main base of Fanxing Film and Television and Hengdian will be upgraded to national 5a-level scenic spots next year.
As a 4a-level scenic spot and the largest film and television base in Shandong Province, the results of the Republic of China branch base are still very gratifying.
Although the base was completed and opened in 2005, the first two years were in the initial construction stage, and the major projects and supporting facilities were not complete. It was not until 2007 that it was on track.
In 2007, the sub-base received more than double-digit number of film crews, and most of them were film crews owned by Guolan Investment or Fanxingxinghao Company.
However, as the reputation of the base spread and some of the productions were accumulated, it gradually attracted some crew members to come spontaneously.
Throughout 2008, the sub-base hosted more than 26 official film and television crews, including three movies and more than 500 episodes of TV series.
I dare not say that there are 365 days a year without interruption. Basically, the crew is filming for most of the year.
By 2009, the reputation of the branch base had completely spread, and more crews came. Now in October alone, more than 40 crews have been hosted.
Previously, Fanxing's "The Wind" had a large number of scenes filmed at the sub-base, and "Bullfighting" starring Huang Bo was also filmed here.
It is no exaggeration to say that the rise of the branch base has greatly affected the filming business of the film and television base in the Republic of China in the north, and even Hengdian was quite affected.
The person in charge of the branch base is very confident that one day, sooner or later, the "jail" who died in Zaoshi will be able to circle the earth...
"Let the Bullets Fly" was filmed here, which was also one of Cao Xuan's previous requirements for investing in this movie.
To this end, the Zao City branch also built a Goose City specifically for "Let the Bullets Fly".
Well, it is said that a Goose City was built, but in reality it mainly consisted of the gate tower, the last main street and two small streets, plus the county street and Huang Silang's watchtower.
The above basically covers most of the plot of the movie, and some other small plots can be filmed in other places in the sub-base. They are all facilities that fit the scenes of the Republic of China in the movie.
Lao Jiang was so anxious that Cao Xuan didn't even return to the capital. He flew directly to Xu City and then drove to the set.
"Brother, your arrival will make our entire crew shine."
As soon as he saw Cao Xuan, Jiang Wen made a habit of talking nonsense. Cao Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to him and shook hands with Uncle Ge first.
“Teacher Ge, this time we can collaborate in a scene, it’s my dream come true.
"Thank you for your praise. I have actually been looking forward to cooperating with Mr. Cao for many years.
"Haha, Teacher Ge, don't call me Mr. Cao. It's too heretical. You are a senior, so just call me by your first name.
"Oh, I can take care of you then.
"You're welcome."
Uncle Ge, an old man from Beijing, is as good at talking as Lao Jiang, and he is not as wild as Lao Jiang, making people feel like a spring breeze, with a sense of normalcy.
Qu Xuan was still the most respected person, and the phrase "Yi Qing Xiang Xiang cooperates" is not a cliché, and it also comes from this person.
Show some real skills.
After chatting with Jiang Wen, Uncle Ge and producer Ma Ke, Lao Jiang introduced the rest of the crew to Cao Xuan.
"Let the Bullets Fly" has not changed much except for a few of Cao Xuansai's characters.
The martial arts candidates are still Jiang Wen's younger brother Jiang Mou, his wife Zhou Yun plays Sister Hua, the third child Liao Fan, the second child Shao Bin, Hu Qian Yaoshan, the fifth and sixth sons and the seventh child have not changed.
Duan Long was originally scheduled to play the fourth child, but later other roles were bumped into the schedule. He had no choice but to give up. Jiang Wen found Liu Tianwang's stand-in Du Yigen.
Of course, the main reason is that the role of the fourth child is too small and the enthusiasm during the schedule adjustment period is not high.
After all, Duan Long is also a first-line actor now, and he is the kind with both reputation and popularity.
He is not like Hu Ge. Although the former is a top-notch actor, he has no film works and is from ancient puppet TV series. As long as the role is brilliant, he does not need to pay attention to the role.
And Duan Long has enjoyed success in both TV series and movies.
The former has two major dramas this year: "My Captain, My Group" and "The Righteous Way", while the latter's Ding Xiu in "Xiu Chun Knife" and the Demon Conqueror in "Painted Skin" are enough to last for several years.
.
So Duan Long was confident that the role he was targeting at the beginning was actually Lao San.
However, Lao Jiang was determined to get Liao Fan and gave Duan Long the role of fourth child. There was little room for this role, and it happened to be in time for the schedule, so Duan Long took advantage of the situation and pushed it.
Cao Xuan didn't force it. "Let the Bullets Fly" is a good movie, but it doesn't make all the characters stand out.
A minor supporting role from the 7th or 8th series is indeed a mediocre addition to today's Duan Long, and it doesn't matter whether he plays it or not.
Duan Long resigned, and apart from Cao Xuan, only two artists participated in "Let the Bullets Fly".
One is Fan Xiaopang, the wife of the county magistrate, who has been scheduled for a long time, and the other is Hu Ge, who intercepts Hu Chen Kun and gets Hu Wan.
Speaking of which, Cao Xuan has a lot to gain. It’s hard to say who the best victim is, but Chen Kun is definitely one of the strong contenders.
one.
Cao Xuan snatched up the famous work "The Golden Family" and the masterpiece "Painted Skin". Even the supporting role in "Let the Bullets Fly", which contributed emojis, was given to Hu Ge manually by Cao Xuan.
It can't be said that they were all killed. It can be considered as a massacre.
What a miserable word!
This also resulted in Chen Kun's career not being as smooth as in the original time and space. Although he is also known as a first-line niche, his actual popularity and celebrity status are very weak, and he has not many successful works.
The most influential TV series in his early years was "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", and he only starred in one movie, "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters", which is worth mentioning.
This time in "Three Kingdoms·Guandu", he did get a prodigal son, Guo Jia, but he was also a supporting role with few roles.
To be honest, mainland male stars are suppressed so much by Hong Kong and Taiwan that their performance is not outstanding. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Chen Kun to be rated as one of the top stars today.
To be honest, animals like Cao Xuan are a little embarrassed.
He secretly made up his mind that no matter whether "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" would be filmed in the future, he would never steal the role of West Factory Governor Gong Yu Huatian, nor would he help others steal it.
Of course, he doesn't have to take action. Whether Chen Kun can win against others is not within the scope of Cao Xuan's responsibility.
At present, among the leading actors with more roles, only Fan Xiaopang has not joined the cast. All the others are in place. When Lao Jiang introduced Cao Xuan, he also came to say hello one by one.
Most of these actors, Cao Xuan, have not been seen before, and a few of them have met in person and are not very familiar with them.
However, he may not know everyone, but everyone must know him, especially Cao Xuan, who is also the lead actor and producer of the crew, so he brushed his face cautiously and respectfully.
"Mr. Cao.
"Teacher Cao.
"Good supervision.
"..."
Cao Xuan nodded and shook hands. Except for calling Zhou Yun "sister-in-law", everyone else addressed her normally and did not correct her name. There was no difference between them.
Due to Uncle Ge's qualifications and status, coupled with his age, Cao Xuan was willing to give him face.
Most of the others are peers of the same age, their celebrity status is very different, and they have no other friendships. In a word, Mr. Cao or Teacher Cao, with Cao Xuan's status, can still deserve it.
After recognizing the servant, everyone chatted for a while and went about their own business. Cao Xuan was planning to go to the hotel to tidy up and set his makeup in the afternoon.
In the end, Lao Jiang pulled him aside, called another person, and said as if he was offering a treasure: "Look, who I found.
The person who came was twenty-seven or eighty years old, standing about 1.8 meters tall, with a slim build. He wore a leather jacket, jeans, and a slicked back hair. He looked at Cao Xuan excitedly.
"Uh-huh!"
However, Cao Xuan was even more excited than him because the person in front of him really looked too much like him.
In recent years, talent imitation shows have become popular, and various copycat versions of celebrities have emerged one after another. Cao Xuan also has many imitators, and there are also some who look similar.
But it’s really the first time that he looks so similar to the one I met today.
Without dressing up deliberately, at first glance, the facial features and appearance are very similar.
It's just that this person's facial features are a little scattered, not as sharp and prominent as Cao Xuan's, and his value is slightly lower. His temperament is even more heavenly and earthly. To put it bluntly, he barely looks like Cao Xuan, but not Cao Shen. Although he looks similar, you can tell if you look closely.
Recognize the true from the false.
Of course, this is also because of not dressing up.
If he puts on the same clothes and makeup as Cao Xuan, imitates him deliberately, stays far away, and doesn't distinguish them carefully, he will almost look like a fake.
"How about, let's give it a fright.
Lao Jiang's eyebrows were beaming and he was generally proud. Ever since he found this low-profile King Cao, he had been hiding it, just waiting to give Chen Kun a surprise today.
"I really didn't expect that not only do they look alike, but they are also about the same height. I want to call my dad to torture him.
Chen Kun was amazed again and again, and then he remembered to shake hands with the other party: "Hello, I am Chen Kun."
"Hello, I...my name is Duan Long."
Duan Long was a little relaxed when he met Xin Wei, a big star. Chen Kun smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "We have similar looks, which means we are destined. Maybe if we climb up a few hundred years, we will still have relatives."
Xin Wei introduced the situation: "We found out about Xiao Du when we saw his selfie on the Internet. He is from Shanxi Province and works as a primary school physical education teacher. He is quite famous in his local area and has been in newspapers.
In "Let the Bullets Fly" Uncle Ge has a stand-in, and Xin Wei plays two roles by herself.
The two characters appear together in scenes, so they need a stand-in. Generally speaking, this kind of stand-in does not need to show his face, as long as he has a similar figure.
However, Lao Jiang was very particular and had to find a real "stand-in" who looked like Chen Kun.
At first, he was looking for it among the actors in the Talent Imitation Show, but then someone recommended Duan Long to him. When he saw the real person, he immediately made a decision.
When the filming comes, Duan Long will be there, not only the body, but also the side face, and the front view from a distance will probably be no problem, he is definitely the best stand-in.
Xin Wei knew that Time and Space Lao Jiang had found a stand-in for Fa Ge, Wen Qiang. It was said that the two were so similar that once on the set, Fa Ge's sister-in-law admitted that she was wrong.
But I didn't expect that now that the actor has changed, Lao Jiang can still find an excellent substitute like Duan Long.
Based on how similar the two are, it is unlikely that the two palaces will admit their mistakes, but if Chen Kun's two-and-a-half-year-old daughter is brought in, Duan Long might actually be able to fool him.
Really good.
Chen Kun was very impressed that Xin Wei's need for a substitute was not just for "Let the Bullets Fly". If Xin Wei's subsequent filming has a similar plot, she can also hire Duan Long, which can save some trouble.
Facing an inferior self, Chen Kun was very interested and chatted with Duan Long for half an hour before giving up.
During this period, I also learned some interesting things about Duan Long. As Lao Jiang said, he is a famous person in the local area.
After all, with a face that is more or less similar to that of a big star, it is difficult to attract attention wherever you go.
According to Xin Wei, things were fine in his early years when he was still young, but when he was twenty-three or four years old, it ended, and he looked like Chen Kun, and then life was no longer intense.
I often walk on the road and am often asked for autographs as Xin Zang. I am often asked by new acquaintances to ask questions, take pictures to show off, and even the media come to interview me.
There are even some girls or boys chasing him because of this face, looking for excitement.
At one point, Duan Long even believed that he was Chen Kun's lost brother and begged his parents for a paternity test. After being beaten, it was scientifically proven that he was not the deceased of the old Cao family.
Later, Duan Long gradually accepted this reality and even posted his own photos on Weibo, calling himself Chen Kun of Jin Province. This is how Lao Jiang found him.
After he revealed his true feelings, Xin Wei became wary and planned to go back and find someone to investigate to prevent this guy from doing any bad things behind her face.
In fact, after initial contact, Chen Kun felt that Duan Long was a relatively honest kid and didn't have any gimmicks.
But be cautious in everything, there’s no harm in checking...
…
After parting ways with Duan Long, Chen Kun returned to the hotel to settle his luggage. As a large-scale film and television base and important attractions, there were still many hotels and guesthouses in the Republic of China branch base, including some high-end hotels.
Among them is [Xinglin Hotel], which Fanxing Film and Television City Base participates in the investment and operation.
It is a hotel jointly developed and built by Fanxing Film and Television City and a medium-sized hotel management group called Wanlin for the scenic area of Fanxing Film and Television City.
There are three in total, two in Baiyangdian main base, one with a three-star rating and one with a four-star rating. There is only one in the Zaoshi branch, which is a three-star rating.
The main creative actors of "Let the Bullets Fly" live in this hotel. This is also the best hotel in the Zao City branch. There is also a three-star hotel under renovation.
There are very few tourists staying in this kind of high-end hotel. Most of the customers are the main creators of major film crews. They are famous and have good accommodation treatment.
Three-star hotels are considered standard. Many big names will specifically require staying in five-star hotels when signing contracts. There are almost no film and television bases far away, so you have to go to the city to open one separately.
Chen Kun doesn't have high requirements for accommodation and won't make any special demands. He just needs to be consistent with other creatives.
What's more, the one who came back this time was a hotel owned by his own family.
As soon as Chen Kun showed up, the hotel manager rushed over and took Chen Kun to room No. 888 without the crew asking for a room.
This room is an ordinary room, and its decoration facilities are much simpler than the so-called presidential business suite. It is rarely open to the public and is only used by important guests.
Chen Kun is undoubtedly one of them, and the hotel has specially provided benefits and discounts for the convenience of the crew.
There will be no extra charge for this room. The room will be as much as the crew gave Chen Kun.
Producer Cao Xuan was unambiguous about the situation and thought it was due to the celebrity effect, but he was a little confused as to why Ma Ke and Huang Silang were so well-known that they had no benefits at all.
Chen Kun saw his doubts and took the initiative to explain: "I have a small stake in this hotel, which is regarded as a shareholder benefit.
"One point...how much is it?"
Cao Xuan couldn't help but be curious when he thought of Boss Cao's net worth. Xin Wei recalled: "About 50%. I didn't ask. The people below are responsible."
Cao Xuan: “…
He felt that by staying with Xin Wei for a few more days, he could better grasp the movie character's hatred for Uncle Ge!
Chen Kun ignored him and just packed his luggage. Although he would not take the initiative to have a long hair, he would not give up the benefits he sent to his door.
Anyway, if you don’t use it, the team will pay an extra penny. In the final analysis, it’s him who subsidizes himself.
At noon, I enjoyed a bowl of hometown mutton soup with two stir-fry dishes at the hotel. Chen Kun also finished two sesame seed cakes that weighed more than half a catty in total.
Although the Shandong cuisine in Quancheng was hometown cuisine, it was more about craftsmanship. The food from Zaoshi's hometown is the food that truly fits Chen Kun's soul.
Perhaps the chef's skills are far inferior to those of those great chefs, but the taste bud experience from snack to adult is unmatched by top state banquets.
After a meal, Xin Wei felt relaxed and comfortable, and went to put on her makeup.
Uncle Ge is the core character of the crew, and the makeup is also very important. Ma Ke put aside the filming to watch Uncle Ge's makeup.
Before that, we already had a rough idea of the character's makeup, and we only had to wait for the actors to put on the makeup before slowly making some subtle adjustments.
Chen Kun combed her back hair and applied hairspray on it to give it a smooth and smooth effect. The beard was glued on her upper lip and chin. The roots were clear and not messy at all. It looked like it had been carefully trimmed.
He wears gold braces on his teeth, wears a slim-fitting suit, a pocket watch on his chest, an emerald ring on his finger, and scattered gold and silver decorations on his body.
There are just a few words in his whole body - wealth, dignity, and elegance!
Lao Jiang looked at Chen Kun's appearance, his eyes lit up; "Take a few steps
Chen Kun smiled, stood up calmly, flicked his clothes, stepped forward, his slightly opened lips flashed with gold teeth, and he bowed his head, with a kind smile that was a bit sinister and unruly.
County Magistrate, do you want me to go away like a tiger or a life gone by?
This was the state where Uncle Ge and Zhang Mazhi were pretending to be cowardly. Ma Ke looked over and asked: "Change your mood.
Xin Pu straightened up, Zhou Mao moved at high speed, his eyes widened, his eyes were vicious, with a sense of offended anger, he yelled and cursed loudly.
"Tmd Zhang Mazi dares to kill my horse!
It's the unscrupulous people from tmd who dare to kill my horse.
Xin Wei corrected her lines, then touched her beard and gave a thumbs up with a dim smile.
"Master Cao is showing his domineering attitude.
Xin Wei adjusted the braces in her mouth and corrected him: "I hate the word high and hard even more.
