Zheng Xiaolong, Feng Pengtong, Jiang Qian, Wang Ji and others were sitting in Wu Jianye's office at this time!
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "I wish you a safe journey!"
The crew of "Yanjing Man in New York" is about to go to New York for filming. Wu Jianye specially sent Zheng Xiaolong and others off.
Zheng Xiaolong and Feng Pengtang are the directors of this TV series. "Teacher Wu, don't worry, we will definitely make this TV series a success!"
The TV series "Yenjing Man in New York" can be regarded as one of the TV series with relatively high investment in China. The investment is US$1.8 million. Except for CCTV and Tangting Culture, local TV stations have not made such a large investment.
In fact, in another time and space, the investment for this TV series was only 1.3 million US dollars, and it was filmed with loans. In order to be able to film this TV series well, the entire crew behind the scenes had almost no salary.
Even so, US$1.3 million is just enough for them to barely cover the entire crew's expenses in New York.
But even so, in order to maintain the integrity and authenticity of the plot, Zheng Xiaolong resolutely decided to shoot in New York for those indoor scenes that could be shot in China!
This is the moral integrity of filmmakers and TV people in this era.
In the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, although investment in TV dramas had increased, they were not spent in the right place. Before Wu Jianye was reborn, he once watched an idol drama that told the story of Chinese people in Bangzi.
, this TV series has found the popular Xiaoxianrou and Xiaohua.
In the end, only a few exterior scenes were filmed in Bangzi, and all the remaining indoor scenes were shot in China. If that were the case, it would be bearable, but the carelessness of the crew was simply outrageous.
The people in Bangzi don’t speak in Korean, but in Chinese. The heroine shouts in Chinese to catch the thief in Bangzi, and passers-by actually run faster than the thief.
The uniforms of Bangzi Changhai Dojo are also in Chinese, and the extras they hired have Chinese-looking faces, which makes people feel that the crew is very good at saving money.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Of course, don't worry. You two will be the directors of this TV series. What else do I have to worry about!"
Feng Pengteng finally got over it through this TV series. Of course, he had to go through a period of shock in the middle, but fortunately he survived and there were many noble people around him to help him.
To be honest, the success of Feng Pants in another time and space is inseparable from the support of noble people.
In the early days, Zheng Xiaolong and Wang Shuo were the nobles of Feng Pants. As Wang Shuo was criticized and banned in China, Han Heping became the nobles of Feng Pants. However, Han Heping, who was the director of Yanying Factory, supported him in filming "A".
"Party B", and then met the Wang brothers, Liu Zhenyun and others, and this was how Feng Pants became successful.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Feng Pants’ own efforts!
Jiang Xiu was nearby and told Wu Jianye: "Brother Angkor, I have thought about it, and I am still going to adapt Shuo Ye's "The Ferocious Animals" into a movie!"
Wu Jianye glanced at Jiang Xiu and said with a smile: "Finish the filming of this TV series first. When you come back, I will invest in the filming for you!"
Zheng Xiaolong was beside him and complained: "Jiang Xiu, you have to take good photos of me!"
Jiang Xi said: "Don't worry, since I accepted your TV series, I will definitely perform it well!"
Zheng Xiaolong nodded.
Wu Jianye said from the side: "Things in New York have been arranged for you. When you arrive in New York, someone will pick you up. That place is no better than our Yanjing. Be careful when you arrive!"
Wu Jianye knew much better than them about the public security situation in New York. After all, none of these people had ever been to New York. When they went to shoot there this time, Wu Jianye called Linda and asked the ABC TV Network
Over there, help them.
This is of great benefit to their photography.
Zheng Xiaolong sighed a little in his heart. He knew that Wu Jianye was very influential in China before, but he didn't expect that Wu Jianye had been in Hollywood for two years and his influence in North America had also become much greater.
Originally, they were worried that many things would be troublesome if they went there, such as shooting equipment, framing and other issues. But now that they and others have not gone there, Wu Jianye has already arranged everything for them and provided them with
Help came from ABC, one of the three major television networks in North America.
"Teacher Wu, I really want to thank you this time!" Zheng Xiaolong said sincerely.
Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "Don't say these unreasonable words. This TV series was originally invested by the company, so naturally it will solve your worries!"
After Wu Jianye finished talking to Zheng Xiaolong, he then said to Feng Pengtong: "Learn from Xiaolong carefully this time. When you come back and want to make a movie, the company will invest in you!"
When Feng Pengtong heard that Wu Jianye was willing to invest in him, the smile on his face immediately became hot, and the buck teeth in his mouth became more obvious.
"Teacher Wu, this is what you said, don't lie to me!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "If you don't believe it, forget it!"
"Believe it, of course I believe it!" Feng Pengtong said quickly.
In this life, the nobleman Feng Pants has changed...
After everyone finished chatting, the crew of "Yanjing People in New York" are also going to New York. As the first domestic TV series to comprehensively show the experiences of Chinese people after going abroad, filming will begin soon!
Wu Jianye did not go to the airport to see them off, but went to other places...
Yanjing is the capital of China, and both Zhang Guoyuan and Zhou Xingchi are full of curiosity about it.
Previously, Zhang Guoyi was alone, following the crew of "Farewell My Concubine", and had been studying Peking Opera, and had no intention of going out for a walk. Now he met Zhou Xingchi in the hotel, especially since the two had just collaborated on "Happy Events in the Family", so
The friendship is still good.
As soon as the two discussed it, they wanted to visit Yanjing City.
Zhou Xingchi did not dare to fool Wu Jianye, but Zhang Guoyuan had no such scruples, so he took Zhou Xingchi to find Tangting Culture, and had to let Wu Jianye take them around Yanjing City.
Wu Jianye thought about it for a moment, but did not refuse. The next period of time would definitely be very busy, so he accompanied them here while everyone still had some time.
To be honest, Wu Jianye didn't come to the Great Wall a few times in his last life. He only took the children from the orphanage to play once when he just made some money, but he never came again.
This time they drove several cars all the way to the Badaling Great Wall.
After getting off the car, Wu Jianye saw that most of the tourists here were foreigners and some Chinese who dressed differently from those in China. They should be from Hong Kong and Taiwan or overseas Chinese.
As one of the most famous attractions in China, the Great Wall will never lack tourists.
In order to avoid causing a sensation, Wu Jianye, Zhang Guoyi, and Zhou Xingchi all wore big glasses. Fortunately, at this time, there was still a gap between domestic star-chasers and later generations of fandom culture, otherwise they would not be able to do this even if they were like this.
How to stop those crazy fans.
Zhou Xingchi looked at the Great Wall in front of him and said in surprise: "It's so spectacular!"
Zhang Guoyuan next to him also marveled at the abilities of ancient people.
Under the protection of Dai Zhen and others, the three climbed the Great Wall. Here, overlooking the mountain scenery, Zhou Xingchi asked curiously: "Director Wu, they all say that the construction of the Great Wall was the tyranny of Qin Shihuang. Is this true or false?"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "The Great Wall was not actually built by Qin Shihuang. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were records of the construction of the Great Wall. Later, during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, countries competed for hegemony and defended each other, and the construction of the Great Wall also reached a GAO trend.
Later, when Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, all Qin Shihuang did was to connect the Great Wall that had already been built. But at this time, what Qin Shihuang wanted to guard against was not the Central Plains countries, but the barbarians in the north!"
"As for the tyranny you mentioned, I can only say that history is written by literati. At least in the history I understand, Qin Shihuang was an emperor whose merits outweighed his faults!"
In this era, blackmailing Qin Shihuang is still a politically correct thing. What Wu Jianye said is actually a bit deviant. Even history textbooks say that Qin Shihuang was a cruel emperor!
Later, there was a joke that could well explain the evaluation of Qin Shihuang in China over the years.
A student taking the college entrance examination told his teacher that I had read many history books and found that Qin Shihuang was not as cruel as ordinary people say today.
Qin Shihuang's book-burning was to embarrass Confucians. He was burning books and speeches that advocated separatism, and he was ensnaring those RU scholars who advocated separatism.
The teacher said: I know what you mean. It's good that you know these words yourself, but when you write your essay, you must write that Qin Shihuang was a tyrant, otherwise you will have no marks in the college entrance examination.
The three of them were chatting and walking on the Great Wall. Wu Jianye saw a child squatting there from a distance, using a knife to carve the words "*** came here for a visit!"!
Forehead.......
The influence of "Journey to the West" is everywhere.
It is said that after the broadcast of "Journey to the West", the story of "Journey to the West" has become a plot imitated by many children. At this time, whether it is a historical site or a small forest, you can see the story of "Journey to the West" in books.
The word travel!
This is a meme that belongs to this era!
Zhang Guoyi did not notice this, and smiled and said to Wu Jianye: "I heard Huang Jiaju and others said that the last time they came to Yanjing to hold a concert, they also came here to travel."
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Yes!"
In 1988, Beyond came to Yanjing to hold a concert. During the period, they also visited the Great Wall and took many photos.
Beyond came to Yanjing to hold a concert, not because they took the initiative, but because they were invited by the country, which also made them suffer a lot.
Because the organizer had no foreign exchange at that time, they did not buy a direct flight from Xiangjiang to Yanjing. In desperation, Beyond had no choice but to take a train from Xiangjiang to Yangcheng.
However, after they arrived in Yangcheng, they discovered that the flight tickets from Yangcheng to Yanjing had already been sold out. However, the performance was about to take place, and they had to try to reach Yanjing as soon as possible.
All roads lead to Rome. If you can't fly from Yangcheng to Yanjing, you might as well fly from Yangcheng to Jinmen first, and then from Jinmen to Yanjing.
In fact, at that time, the fare from Yangcheng to Tianjin was more than 200 yuan, and to Yanjing was more than 500. In terms of saving money, the organizer really saved money wherever possible.
When we arrived in Tianjin, the organizers originally agreed to arrange two cars to pick up Beyond, one to seat people and one to hold luggage. However, this time the organizers broke their promise again and they only sent one car to pick up the airport.
, beyond, the eight of them had to squeeze together with their luggage.
Beyond’s concert venue in Yanjing is the Yanjing Gymnasium. The ticket prices for two consecutive concerts are 3 yuan, 4 yuan, 5 yuan, and 6 yuan respectively. Do you dare to imagine this in future generations?
Beyond's concert also shocked the domestic rock circle. Before the concert started, Cui Jian went to see Beyond. During the concert, members such as Black Panther and Tang Dynasty were also present.
If you think beyond’s concert will be successful in Yanjing, you are totally wrong!
To be honest, when Huang Jiaju was alive, Beyond's reputation was not very big, and it was also suppressed by other bands in Hong Kong. It was for this reason that Huang Jiaju wanted to go to RB to develop, and when he was recording a variety show, he suffered misfortune.
When Beyond held a concert, because they sang all Cantonese songs, the atmosphere at the concert was not very enthusiastic. After the first concert, Huang Jiaju changed "The Earth" to a Mandarin song overnight.
The concert on the second day was much more lively than the concert on the first day.
Traveling and taking photos is a tradition.
People today use cameras, and people in the future will use mobile phones. People now really want to capture the beautiful scenery in front of them, but people in the future will mostly just check in for Internet celebrities.
An inexplicable place, because of the advanced photography technology, it has become an Internet celebrity. A group of people queued for four or five hours just to take a few photos...
At this time, cameras were still a luxury item and not everyone had them. On the way touring the Great Wall, Wu Jianye discovered that most of the people holding cameras were foreigners and people from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The reason why we can recognize that those people are from Hong Kong and Taiwan is that we can hear it from their conversations.
There are also some tour groups with little red riding hoods and red vests leading a group of people to introduce the scenery here.
Wu Jianye walked slowly on the Great Wall and touched the bricks of the Great Wall with his hands. The cold feeling still made him feel the precipitation of history...
Snapped!
At this time, a strong shoulder suddenly bumped into Wu Jianye from behind, and Wu Jianye heard the sound of the camera falling to the ground.
Wu Jianye looked back and found that several foreigners happened to be passing by him. They were probably busy taking pictures and did not notice him, so they bumped into him, causing his camera to fall to the ground!
Wu Jianye didn't think much about it. The other party bumped into him, and then his camera fell to the ground. The responsibility was not on him, so he just took a look and continued walking forward.
As for apologizing….
It would be nice if Wu Jianye didn't let them apologize to him.
But what he didn't expect was that before Wu Jianye could step out, he was stopped by a man speaking Mandarin.
"Hey, I wonder how you are walking, you bumped into a foreign friend, and you want to leave without apologizing!"
