The other party's offer was very sincere, obviously referring to He Xin's salary in "The Promise", one million! However, Sister Hong said a lot and replied with one million.5 million! It was a bit inflated.
However, after a harmonious and tense tug-of-war, both sides made a concession and finally reached an agreement of 1.2 million.
He Xin signed the agreement without hesitation. On the one hand, the salary was too tempting; on the other hand, it was because he liked the character Fenghuo Liantian.
...
The term Shangri-La first appeared in a paradise on earth that the world longs for, described in the famous novel "The Lost Horizon" by British writer James Hilton in the 1930s, similar to what the Chinese call "a paradise".
The word Shangri-La can also be transliterated as "Shambala", which means "the bright moon in the heart" in Tibetan, symbolizing a beautiful and ideal lifestyle.
Shangri-La's original name is Zhongdian. Dian is in Yi language, which is translated into local dialect and is called "bazi". Mandarin means "flat land". The so-called Zhongdian is a basin in the valley that is neither big nor small, and is not as beautiful as the middle.
This place is located in the northwest of Yunnan, on the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an average altitude of more than 3,000 meters. The film is located at Bigu Tianchi, which is as high as more than 4,000 meters. The crew had arrived here ten days ago, but it stopped.
In a few days, the reason was that many people in the group, including the actors, had altitude sickness and could not start work.
However, this place has a long history and beautiful scenery. In order to vigorously develop tourism resources two years ago, the slightly rustic Zhongdian was specially renamed the tall Shangri-La.
Compared with Yuanmou, which has underdeveloped transportation and backward economy, although it is located in a remote location, it can be connected to the plane. After all, it is the seat of the state government and the accommodation conditions are also good. The most luxurious Longfengxiang Hotel in the city was booked by the crew.
As one of the leading actors, He Xin was also assigned a suite.
As a familiar name, He Xin has longed for this place for a long time in his previous life. Unfortunately, due to the limited economic conditions, he has never been able to make up for this shortcoming of his previous life.
Putting down his luggage, he couldn't wait to hold the Canon EOS DSLR camera endorsed by the Fellow Dragon that he just bought in Hong Kong yesterday. He avoided the reporters gathered in the hotel lobby and led the crew to temporarily assign him assistant Lu Xiaohe very well.
The little brother Zhang Tong, who came here, sneaked out from the back door of the hotel to experience the customs and customs of this Tibetan and Chinese city, and gathered more than 20 ethnic groups.
Anyone will have their own hobbies, and actors are of course no exception, but later they gradually evolved into a label and character design for actors.
For example, many actors used to be dancing or performing operas, and many times the specialties of these actors who dance or performing operas often become their character.
Some are quite high-end, such as playing the piano, drawing with great skills, and studying the articles of Nobel Prize winners of mathematics. Of course, in addition to being high-end, there are also down-to-earth, such as cooks, carpenters, etc.
Of course, what should I do if I don’t have any specialties besides acting? So photography has become the choice of this type of person. After all, everyone can do it. Moreover, the actors have been in front of the camera for a long time, and they have heard and looked at the eyes, composition and color.
At least you can learn some fur, and you can occasionally take it out and pretend.
He Xin is a pure whim. When he was in the crew before, he often saw Wang Xiaoshuai holding a retro-shaped Leica camera and taking pictures without stopping, or Director Chen would often hold a cannon barrel.
The camera is very tall and looks at the scene.
He was also happy to see the hunt. In addition, he signed another big order in Hong Kong this time, so he made a heavy blood supply and spent more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy an EOS to reward himself.
The most attractive attractions in the small town are of course Songzanlin Temple. This is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Sichuan and Yunnan, and it is the local Yellow Sect Center. The temple is built against the mountain, and it looks like an ancient castle, with a majestic momentum and has been magnificent since ancient times.
Known as the "Little Potala Palace".
Unfortunately, since a grand opening ceremony was held here the next day, a huge stage was being built at the door, and the entire temple could not be seen at all.
It is said that the local government attached great importance to the filming of the "Wuji" crew. As early as two months ago, it became the leading group of the film "Wuji" filming of the movie "Wuji" with local leaders personally as the team leader.
This grand pure Tibetan-style startup carnival will be held tomorrow, sponsored by the local government to promote local tourism resources.
In fact, carefully calculate the accounts. As the main scene in the movie, more than a thousand people "The Promise" crew came here for a month to shoot, people ate horses, various equipment, manpower, extras, and even the influx of media and tourists.
At least it can generate hundreds of millions of GDP for the local area, which also includes the subsequent impact of the movie after it is released, which will definitely make a big profit after spending a small amount of money.
No wonder the local government not only actively cooperated, but also solemnly. It is said that 40,000 people participated in the boot carnival tomorrow, which is a very terrifying number. You should know that the entire Diqing Prefecture has a population of only more than 100,000, which is equivalent to
Everyone in this small town ran out.
"Hey, Brother Xin, are you okay?"
In the evening, after half a day of fun, He Xin returned to the hotel with his camera on his back. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he met Zhang Baiyu and two assistants in the corridor.
"What's up?"
"You just arrived today without a headache. Are you having difficulty breathing altitude sickness? " Zhang Baiyu gestured with his hands.
"It's nothing, nothing at all." He Xin joked in the tone of her speaking, and then asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
He had heard before that the girl had a serious altitude sickness when she first arrived here. There have been a lot of negative news about her being a big shot.
These negative news mainly revolves around two things. The first thing is that on the day she arrived, the hotel boss probably chose a bouquet of flowers as big as an umbrella out of star chasing stars, and a basket that is said to be a little flawed.
The best local fruits that were not available were placed in her room in advance. As a result, she threw them out mercilessly and threw them in the corridor.
There is also the banquet for the crew that day. Everyone sat in the lobby waiting for her. But after a while, they said they agreed, but then they couldn't say it anymore, so everyone waited for two hours in vain.
After these two things were exposed by the waiter, media reporters who were already helpless in the crew's various confidentiality measures were caught and reported at full speed.
Various titles are sensational, such as "Zhang Baiyu is not grateful for the flowers", "Zhang Baiyu Shangri-La is a big name and does not leave, and everyone is waiting for two hours" and so on.
As a melon-eating crowd in his previous life, He Xin was very interested in the news about celebrity gossip on the Internet. But after really getting involved in this circle for a long time, he found that gossip like this. To use the mantra of the "King of America" in later generations, he said, "You all
It's fake news!
Of course, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is all fake news, but most of them are exaggerated as possible, or deliberately interpreted out of context to attract the attention of readers and netizens.
Even though Zhang Baiyu is often criticized for being difficult to deal with, playing big names, lies, chaotic private life, etc., at least after contacting him, He Xin felt that this girl was not as unbearable as the rumor, and her personality was a bit
Like Li Xiaoran, for example, speaking directly can easily offend people.
As for being a big shot, it is inevitable that people will become famous at a young age. No matter whether they are late or leave early, the quality of their work is obvious. Compared with those young and handsome guys who are just like the show in later generations, Tianbao and others
It's much stronger.
For He Xin, Zhang Baiyu can't play with a big shot. Even if she is awesome and brags about her when chatting, she just adjusts the atmosphere and no one will take it seriously. As for the chaos in private life, this kind of thing is in the circle.
It’s very common. If it weren’t for the accident between Teacher Chen later, who would have known such a thing?
So putting aside the above factors, He Xin is still quite willing to get along with her, at least he won’t worry that she will attack you twice and face you with one thing in front of you.
"I felt really uncomfortable in the first few days. I didn't even want to take pictures. But it's OK to survive!" Zhang Baizhi smiled.
Then he warmly invited him, "Brother Xin, I am planning to go downstairs to have something to eat. Do you want to go together?"
"Okay, wait for me first, I'll let go of the things."
Although Zhang Baiyu brags to him before that he will not be fat no matter how much he eats it, facing the unique yak meat here, he almost never touches any meat dishes such as pipa meat made of Tibetan fragrant pigs and local chicken pots.
I ate some vegetarian dishes such as celery stir-fried matsutake and yogurt and soybean peel.
However, this girl has a lot of alcohol. He Xincai drank a bowl of barley wine, but she drank all the bottle of French red wine she brought.
After drinking, her little face was red and her eyes were blurred. It was indeed quite attractive, but her legs were a little short.
...
In order to attend this grand opening ceremony, He Xin came to the crew almost a week in advance and took advantage of this time to browse the beautiful scenery of Shangri-La.
The most famous here is of course Pudacuo National Forest Park, which has a unique natural geographical landscape where the Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nujiang River flow together without convergence. It is a world nature conservation heritage that is as famous as Jiuzhaigou.
There are also Bigu Tianchi where the crew is located, and Haba Snow Mountain and Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area in the south.
In fact, He Xin's highlights in "The Promise" have been almost done. When he comes to Shangri-La, he only has some fragmented scenes, most of which are opposite Jang Dong-kin, so his life is very leisurely.
However, Zhang Baiyu and Sanada Hiroyuki have a strong role here. They staged many exciting and passionate scenes in the Begonia Monastery beside the Pigu Tianchi Pool.
Director Chen’s requirements are very strict. What is the use of kissing scenes and borrowing positions, such as bank cards in the middle, does not exist at all, they are all real, and a few or even dozens of shots are often taken in a shot. Once,
While having breakfast, Zhang Baiyu pursed his lips and complained to He Xin privately that his mouth was swollen.
Perhaps to avoid embarrassment, Xie Buying Wang came late until Zhang Baiyu and Hiroyuki Sanada were almost the same.
In mid-July, the scenes of "The Promise" in Shangri-La were finally completed.
Director Chen Da gave everyone a week off in a humanistic way, and then everyone gathered in the Beijing City to conduct the final shooting stage in the studio of the Beijing Film Studio.
