Chapter 852: Actors Who Run Through the Five Thousand Years of Chinese History (4200+ Chapters~)
In the history of Chinese films, there is a very miraculous actor. From the great god who created the world, to the Jade Emperor who later ruled the heaven, he finally descended to earth and became the emperor of various dynasties and then became a great man.
One person covers almost five thousand years of Chinese history!
This person is Tang Guoqiang!
I didn’t meet Tang Guoqiang in Yanjing, but in Hengdian Film and Television City.
Wu Jianye came to Hengdian this time because he had several things to do. The first thing was to meet Tang Guoqiang. As for why Tang Guoqiang was still in Hengdian, it was because the filming of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" had not been completed yet!
Yes, even though the filming of Wu Jianye's "The World of Chu Xing" has been completed and preparations for a new movie have begun, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is still being filmed steadily.
During this period, He Qing and Chen Hong also came back several times to make up for the scenes...
"Director Wang, how long does your filming last?" Wu Jianye was standing next to Wang Fulin, the chief director of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", looking at the shooting scene in front of him and couldn't help but ask.
Wang Fulin laughed and said: "It's almost, it's almost, I guess it will be almost there in more than a month!" After saying that, he said to Wu Jianye: "I would like to thank Hengdian Film and Television City even more this time. If it weren't for Hengdian
Film and Television City, it is estimated that this TV series will not be completed until next year!"
Wu Jianye nodded, his heart finally calmed down, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There is still more than a month, that's not bad!"
Wang Fulin looked at Wu Jianye's look and said with a smile: "Director Wu, are you planning to recruit actors from me again?"
Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "Director Wang, you still understand me!"
Wang Fulin asked curiously: "Then who did you fall in love with this time?"
"Our Military Advisor Zhuge!" Wu Jianye did not hide it. Tang Guoqiang can be said to be the last piece of the puzzle in his new movie.
He robbed Tang Guoqiang of his prince, and now he is giving him one back!
Wang Fulin said: "Guo Qiang, but his role is relatively important, so I can't give it to you for more than a month!"
Now that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been filmed to the end, Tang Guoqiang can be said to have the most roles. Naturally, he cannot be lent to Wu Jianye as happily as He Qing and Chen Hong.
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Of course there is no problem with this!"
Seeing that there was no problem with Wu Jianye, Wang Fulin was relieved. After all, there are almost no actors in China who can refuse Wu Jianye, and Tang Guoqiang is no exception.
If he had prevented Tang Guoqiang from participating in Wu Jianye's movie, it is estimated that Tang Guoqiang's performance in more than a month would have been not very good.
Now it's better, Wu Jianye has more time, and Wang Fulin has more room for maneuver.
After chatting with Wang Fulin, Wu Jianye did not stay with the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" for a long time, but went directly to the Xianxia District of Hengdian Film and Television City for inspection.
This is the second thing that happened when he came here. Some scenes in the new movie will definitely be shot in Hengdian Film and Television City, including the Xianxia District.
Under the leadership of Wang Linxing, the person in charge of Hengdian Film and Television City, Wu Jianye came to Xianxia District. After more than a year of construction, the place has begun to take shape.
There are all kinds of rockeries and fake waters, there are also several palaces standing there, and there are also some winding paths leading to the secluded scene.
In some places, as long as lighting and post-production are added after shooting, the audience can be brought to a fairy-like or weird shot.
After Wu Jianye read it, he smiled and said: "Yes, it seems that you have really put in a lot of effort!"
When Wang Linxing saw that Wu Jianye was satisfied, he immediately laughed and said, "It is not easy to build this place. It cost a total of 130 million!"
Wu Jianye chuckled, "I heard that in the past two years, you have also started the tourism industry here!"
For Hengdian Film and Television City, there is no charge for the crew, but if someone wants to travel, it will cost money.
The domestic tourism industry has been booming in the past two years, and Hengdian Film and Television City has become a tourist destination in the hearts of many people.
Wang Linxing said with some regret: "Although the tourism industry has picked up, it will still take a long time to recover the costs."
Wu Jianye said: "It doesn't matter, the reputation here will only become more and more famous, and it will definitely become the leading tourist attraction in the country!"
After seeing the Xianxia District, Wu Jianye went to visit the Capital City again!
The so-called "capital city" was actually started for Wu Jianye's new movie. In October last year, Wang Linxing received an order from Wu Jianye to build a capital city here.
The buildings in the entire capital city were built according to the Chinese Bagua. There are eight gates in total. Most of the buildings inside are built according to the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty.
Wu Jian was walking in the Capital City at night. There were eight main roads in the Capital City, leading to the middle of the Capital City. In the middle of the Capital City was a lake, with eight shops around the lake.
Although there is no sign now, Wu Jianye knows that in the future, these eight shops will be 'Peace Inn', 'Lichun Hospital', 'Medical Clinic', 'Fortune Telling Stall', 'Liquor Shop', '
Private school','butcher shop','library'......
Walking here, you can see workers everywhere.
"Can it be completed this year?" Wu Jianye asked. This will be the main filming location for the new movie. Wu Jianye naturally takes it very seriously.
Wang Linxing said confidently: "Director Wu, don't worry, I guarantee that it will be completed by October!"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "That's good."
After walking around the 'Capital', Wu Jianye's inspection was finally over, and now the sky was completely dark.
When he returned to the hotel, Tang Guoqiang was already waiting for Wu Jianye in the hotel lobby.
"Director Wu!" After seeing Wu Jianye, Tang Guoqiang was also very excited. When he heard at Wang Fulin today that Wu Jianye wanted to see him, he immediately thought of Wu Jianye's new movie.
"Let's go back to the room to discuss the matter!" Wu Jianye smiled.
"Um!"
After returning to the room, Wu Jianye smiled and asked Tang Guoqiang not to be so restrained, "I have talked with Director Wang before. Your TV series is expected to end in more than a month, and it is not the same as my new movie.
Conflict, so now I want to ask you if you are interested in participating in my new movie?"
Although Tang Guoqiang really wanted to participate in Wu Jianye's new movie, he still asked: "Director Wu, can I ask what kind of person the character I need to play is?"
Wu Jianye thought for a while and said: "The Emperor Ming you played is the main villain in my movie, but he is not a villain in the traditional sense. What he wants to do in the movie is not for himself.
Just for the firm belief in his heart..."
Wu Jianye introduced to Tang Guoqiang the character and background of the Ming Emperor he played...
After hearing this, Tang Guoqiang showed an excited expression on his face and said: "Director Wu, you have to give me this role no matter what, if you don't give it to me... I won't leave today!"
He really likes this character so much. At this time, whether it is a TV series or a movie in China, the opposition between the good and the bad is too obvious.
The bad guys are tool people. To put it bluntly, they are bad for the sake of being bad. But the role that Wu Jianye gave Tang Guoqiang is different. He has his own firm beliefs, and in his opinion, the whole thing is not something he is doing.
Doing a bad thing is even doing something that benefits everyone...
After Wu Jianye saw Tang Guoqiang's attitude, he smiled: "Since you have no objection, then we can sign the contract!"
Tang Guoqiang smiled and said: "No problem!"
Wu Jianye then took out the contract that he had prepared long ago, and Tang Guoqiang simply read it over and immediately signed his name.
Seeing Tang Guoqiang's signature, Wu Jianye smiled again. The candidates for his new movie were finally confirmed!
As long as nothing happens to these people...
"I'm looking forward to cooperating with you!" Wu Jianye smiled and shook hands with Tang Guoqiang.
Tang Guoqiang also had a smile on his face: "Being able to cooperate with Director Wu is probably what all actors in China hope for!"
After the two exchanged business blows, Wu Jianye sent Tang Guoqiang out of his room.
Before they left, he once again told Tang Guoqiang not to get hurt.
There is nothing that can be done about it. When actors are filming movies and TV shows, it is common for actors to get injured. If they are really injured, it will be a very troublesome thing.
"Next stop, where should we go?"
Zhao Fei and Guan Fu were also in Wu Jianye's room. After seeing Tang Guoqiang leave, Zhao Fei asked.
"Let's stay in Hengdian for two days first!" Wu Jianye said. Since he came to Hengdian this time, Wu Jianye also wanted to see the changes here.
When checking the place with Wang Linxing today, Wu Jianye had already noticed a detail, that is, there are more and more extras here.
Before that, Yanjing had the largest number of extras in China, commonly known as Beipiao!
At that time, those who dreamed of being actors would gather near the Beijing Film Studio, hoping to become famous.
But now as more and more crews are filming in Hengdian Film and Television City, more and more extras are coming here!
This situation is still many years ahead of schedule.
Wu Jianye stayed here not to specially observe these extras, but because when the shooting of his new movie starts, a large number of extras will be used. Although it will involve several war scenes, he can hire them at that time.
The troops helped, but other scenes still required a lot of extras.
When he came to Hengdian before, Wu Jianye was still worried about the extras, but now it seems he doesn’t need to worry anymore!
But we still have to look at the quality of these current extras.
When they heard that Wu Jianye would stay here for two more days, Zhao Fei and Guan Hu had no objection.
On the next day, Wu Jianye and Zhao Fei bluffed the three of them, covered it up casually, and the three of them walked out of the hotel.
After arriving at the film and television city, Guan Fu paid and entered the film and television city.
When chatting with Wang Linxing yesterday, Wu Jianye knew that there were at least twenty crews working in the film and television city. In fact, at the beginning, the group performances in Hengdian Film and Television City were not organized and almost all were scattered.
.
However, the development of this situation did not last long, and group performance organizations gradually appeared. However, even so, it still has not formed a large scale, and many people still belong to single-running gangs.
Wu Jianye believes that with the development of time, the organization here will become more and more similar to the situation when he was reborn.
This is the inevitable law of development and there will be no change.
In order to attract tourists, Wang Linxing even created a fictional crew in some scenes where there was no crew. The actors, scenery, etc. were all real, but the crew was fake.
Sometimes they even sign agreements with tour groups to let tourists enjoy the performance, but these are definitely fake.
Wu Jianye and the other three came to a location where the crew was filming. The filming here happened to be a Qing palace drama. With the popularity of "Prime Minister Liu Luo Guo", Qing Dynasty dramas are now very popular, and many cultural companies and TV stations have also
They invested in filming one after another.
Wu Jianye has never even heard of the TV series being filmed in it now. This is the change brought about by Wu Jianye after his rebirth.
At this time, we can also see that the development of China's film and television industry has actually changed a lot from before.
For example, in the early 1980s, although the extras were not as good as the leading actors, they were at least still members of the crew, and their usual treatment was not much different from that of the leading actors.
But it's different now. The difference between the leading role and the extras has begun to appear.
Several extras were squatting there, basking in the sun and chatting, obviously waiting for the summons from inside.
"Brothers, when did you come here?" Wu Jianye squatted next to them wearing glasses and asked curiously.
A young man wearing the costume of a Qing palace eunuch smiled and said, "I've been here for half a year!"
Wu Jianye: "How is it? Is it hard?"
The young man smiled and said: "It's not hard, it's much better than farming at home!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "Have you ever thought that one day you could become a leading actor?"
"Of course I have thought about it, but compared with other regular actors, there is still a gap between us. I guess there is not much hope. Now I just hope that I can eat enough and save some money!"
"Haha, you're not telling the truth. Why don't you want to be an actor here?" Wu Jianye didn't believe what this extra actor said. After all, he had also been to Hengdian before.
At that time, among the Hengdian extras, nine out of ten wanted to be an actor, and the remaining one wanted to leave Hengdian soon because his dream was gone!
"It would be great to be a real actor, but it's not that easy to be an actor!" the young man said ambiguously.
The openness of the times is still not big enough. Obviously the other party has this idea, but I always feel a little embarrassed to say it out...
Wu Jianye asked again: "Did you do it yourself? Or did you do it with the company?"
"We are the only ones in the village who don't have a company!" The young man saw that the crew never waved them over, and he was happy to chat with Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "It's still a little inconvenient to work alone. I think you can form an organization like an extras guild. When the time comes, the more people you have, the more powerful you will be, so you can negotiate terms with the crew!"
The young man smiled: "It's not that easy!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said nothing more. This kind of thing is indeed not easy, but if it is really done, it will indeed be a good thing for them!
Now let’s see who can take the lead!
I originally wanted to chat a few more words, but the crew had already started greeting me, and the young man immediately ran over.
