The crew will move to France for filming in late May. This does not mean that all storylines that take place in France will be shot in France. Most of the interior scenes will still be shot in China.
The crew rented two western-style houses on Duolun Road. The small red round western-style building served as Pan Yuliang's residence in Shanghai, and the other large western-style building with a building area of more than 1,000 square meters housed Pan Zanhua's office as the customs governor.
Scenes such as Shanghai's apartment and Pan Yuliang's residence and studio in France.
When He Xin arrived at the set after dinner, he was still filming a scene between Pan Zanhua, played by Hu Jun, and Pan Yuliang, played by Li Jiaxin, in their French residence.
I saw Hu Jun wearing a white shirt with a mustache on his upper lip. His hair was not as shiny and beautifully parted as in the previous scenes. It was just his usual appearance, dry and slightly naturally curly.
The appearance of home.
Li Jiaxin, on the other hand, still wore exquisite makeup, a meticulous bun, red makeup and dark eyebrows. She was wearing a red sweater and a garcinia skirt that reached her feet.
The two sat side by side in the studio surrounded by oil paintings and talked to each other.
"Cut!"
But before the two of them said a few words, they heard Guan Jinpeng shouting, sticking his head out from behind the surveillance camera, and shouting to Li Jiaxin: "Michelle, please pay attention to your emotions. Don't be too rigid in your expression."
"I understand, director, give me five minutes to adjust."
Although Li Meiren's eyes looked tired, her attitude was still very good and her tone of voice was also very sincere.
"good!"
After the director agreed, Li Jiaxin did not go to her Mandarin teacher to review the pronunciation of the lines in Mandarin as usual. Instead, she went to the balcony alone to get some fresh air and at the same time ponder the emotions of the characters in the play.
However, Hu Jun ran out, dragged He Xin and asked, "Let's go out and have a cigarette."
Walking into the corridor outside, he couldn't wait to spread his hands. Seeing He Xin slowly taking out a cigarette, he urged: "Hurry up!"
He just saw the Double Happiness cigarette case that He Xin took out, and while snatching it away, he curled his lips and said, "I told you, kid, when will you be able to improve your quality?"
He Xin also lit one and said leisurely: "I think this cigarette is very good to smoke."
As he said this, he couldn't help but ask: "How long did it take for you to shoot?"
"Don't mention it!"
Hu Jun smacked his lips and said with a depressed look: "This shot alone has already failed more than ten times. The key is, the key is... Tsk, you should know it in your heart anyway."
The problem definitely lies with Li Jiaxin, but if you are not serious, people may still complain about it, but these girls are very serious, and they have so many scenes, there is almost no time to rest, so there is nothing you can do about it.
said.
In the final analysis, Li Meiren still lacks talent and has too many roles, so it is easy for her to focus on one thing and neglect the other.
Hu Jun hurriedly smoked a cigarette and went in to continue filming, while He Xin squatted next to Guan Jinpeng and looked at the picture on the monitor.
"Cut!"
…
"Cut!"
…
"Cut!"
After a few shots in a row, Li Meiren, who had been calm at first, couldn't help but become anxious. When the filming started again, Hong Kong Pu, who was used to it, suddenly appeared and said "painting" instead of "painting flowers".
”.
I don’t know which staff member at the scene couldn’t help but burst out laughing, which then caused the whole audience to burst into laughter.
It's like this sometimes in filming. Once everyone's string becomes tighter and tighter, they always need a place to vent. Li Meiren's unintentional sentence "painting flowers" undoubtedly triggered the venting in everyone's heart.
At the critical point, Hu Jun, who had looked depressed before, laughed so much that half of the mustache stuck to his upper lip fell off, and it just hung down on his lips, once again successfully triggering a burst of laughter.
Li Meiren was stunned at first, then embarrassed, until she saw Hu Jun's dignity and couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
Guan Jinpeng, who was speechless, looked at each other and He Xin beside him, and said helplessly: "No more filming, let's eat first."
Hearing his words, the crowd burst into cheers. It was almost eight o'clock at this time, and dinner had been delivered long ago. It was only because of repeated NG that it was delayed until now.
The on-site conditions were relatively simple. Except for the most famous Li Meiren, who went to the dressing room downstairs to have a meal accompanied by her assistant, everyone else settled on the spot.
Guan Jinpeng sat in front of the monitor while eating his rice and asked He Xin: "By the way, does your film "Incense" have a production company?"
"Production company?"
He Xin was stunned for a moment and said, "No, I just took it myself."
Guan Jinpeng frowned and said: "This won't work. Your films will always be sold after they are made. Without a production company, how can they sign a contract with you?"
When He Xin heard Guan Jinpeng's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly said: "Director, does that mean you have something to tell about the three continents in Nantes?"
"It's not the French side. I contacted Marco Muller this morning and mentioned your "Incense" by the way. Then I can bring it to him along with "Landscape of Love"."
He Xin was confused after hearing this, and couldn't help asking: "Director, who is Marco Muller?"
This time, Guan Jinpeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You bad boy, you don't even know Marco Muller, what kind of movies are you investing in..."
At this time, Hu Jun came over with a lunch box in his hands. After hearing a little bit, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "A Xin, your boy has invested in a movie?"
"A friend of mine made a DV movie. As I told you last time, I played a monk. We didn't have much money, so we just worked together to make it happen." He Xin said modestly.
In order to ask Guan Jinpeng to help, he specifically said that he and Ning Hao teamed up to make this film "Incense". In fact, this is not nonsense. Originally, Ning Hao promised to give him half of the proceeds of this film.
.
Now he even paid another 100,000 yuan to Ning Hao to transfer the film to film, and then redo the color grading, sound effects and other post-production work.
"This film they made is quite good. It just won the gold medal in the Asian DV Film Competition at the Hong Kong International Film Festival. I just told him to show it to Marco Muller. This bad guy actually
Don’t know who Marco Muller is? Haha!” Guan Jinpeng said with a smile.
But Hu Jun's eyes widened, he slapped him hard on the shoulder, and said excitedly: "You can do it, Marco Müller is the film selector for the Asian region of the Venice Film Festival! Do you know that there is
How many people begged him to see his movie!"
"Venice Film Festival?"
He Xin was a little confused for a moment, because Lao Guan had told him before that the competition between the three major European film festivals was fierce, and he was going to recommend "Incense" to try his luck at the Nantes Three Continents International Film Festival. He didn't expect that it would be available in the blink of an eye.
Any chance of attending the Venice Film Festival?
Hu Jun then added: "Marco Müller is a China expert. He studied in China and stayed there for several years. When Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Yuan, and Lu Yue started filming their movies
When I go to Europe to participate in exhibitions, he always recommends me.”
"So awesome?" He Xin said subconsciously.
"Of course, what do you think?" Hu Jun suddenly stared.
Then he pointed at Guan Jinpeng, who had taken the time to immerse himself in cooking, and said: "You guys have such a great opportunity, why don't you thank the director!"
"Well……"
Just as He Xin was about to say thank you, Guan Jinpeng waved the chopsticks in his hand and said with a smile: "I'm just recommending it. It just so happens that Miao Xue's "Landscape of Love" is also preparing to register for the Venice Film Festival. But can it be shortlisted?
, we can only confirm it after others have seen it.”
Then he added: "But even if you can't be shortlisted, it doesn't matter. You can at least take it to the film festival and screen it a few times to find buyers. So I tell you that you need a production company, otherwise how can people sign a contract with you?
!”
"Company, can we register a film company in China?" He Xin looked at Hu Jun and asked with a confused look on his face.
As a reborn person, he was really too lowly in his previous life and didn't know anything about this kind of thing.
"It seems quite troublesome to register a film company privately, right?" Hu Jun was also a little unsure, but he immediately said: "Then you might as well just register one in Hong Kong and be done with it!"
“Can Hong Kong?”
"Of course!"
Now Hu Jun has been living in Hong Kong for more than a year, and then he started to popularize science with He Xin.
It turns out that registering a film company in Hong Kong is very convenient. In fact, it is not just a film company, but any company is very convenient. You only need to pay a registration fee of more than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars.
