This is the home ground of the Chinese Super League team Taishan Club. At this time, it has been temporarily rented by "The Richest Man in Xihong City" to film the football scene between the Daxiang team and the European giants Red Devils.
It is different from other Shanhe dramas and Shanhe movies because this time the movie is called "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
Therefore, for the first time, the background of the story is not set in Quancheng, which is now known as the center of the Shanhe Universe. Instead, it is a fictional city, namely Xihong City.
In this regard, Taishan Club is still a little disappointed. They still want their home court to follow the popularity.
It's October now, the Chinese Super League has not stopped playing yet, and it's at the end of the season, which is the most important time of the entire season.
Under normal circumstances, Taishan Club may not be willing to temporarily rent it for a concert, let alone filming.
But after all, Zuo Le is also the new richest man in Dongshan. Although he does not live up to his name, he can still be regarded as the top rich man in the province, and his face is still worth some money.
He personally contacted the person in charge of the Taishan Club, who listened and held a meeting before agreeing.
Zheng Zuo Le was very grateful, and also specifically explained that the filming time of the crew will be completely adjusted according to the Taishan Club, so as not to delay their normal competition as much as possible.
Zuo Le likes to watch football. Although he mostly watches the games of European giants, he still supports his hometown team.
When I was a college student in Quancheng, I came to the Olympic Sports Stadium several times to watch football. Now that I am busy with work, I occasionally pay attention to the results of Taishan Club in the Chinese Super League.
In fact, when drafting the script of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" this time, Zuo Le originally wanted to have Team Daxiang and Team Taishan compete directly.
But after all, the Taishan team has a weaker reputation, and is obviously not as famous as the globally famous European giants Red Devils. For the sake of movie effects, Zuo Le can only choose to "advocate foreigners and favor foreigners" for once.
Speaking of which, I was very lucky to be able to contact the Red Devils this time. The Red Devils value business development and have always attached great importance to China, a large market in the east. They usually have high-level officials stationed there for a long time.
Zuo Le is a fan himself, so he naturally knows what the fans think, so when he was writing the football scene in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", he wanted to contact several European giants to participate.
Don’t expect to have stars come in as guest stars. Being authorized to use the club’s name and jersey, and then finding a few copycat imitation shows to act in it, is also a good idea.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shanhe sent an email, the Red Devils received positive feedback.
It turned out that the other party had high-level executives who were staying in China for a long time, and knew about Shanhe's influence in the domestic film and television industry, so they thought that joining "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was an opportunity to promote the Red Devils Club.
Zuo Le discussed the script with the person in charge of the other party. He was originally worried that the other party would think it would damage the club's image and was even prepared to break up the negotiation.
Unexpectedly, the senior management who came to negotiate with the other party was very open-minded. The other party felt that "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is originally a comedy movie. The Red Devils Club has some laughs in the movie, which is easier for people to remember and can better achieve their publicity and promotion.
Purpose.
There's nothing wrong with the script, and the rest will be easy to handle.
The Red Devils club also specially found a few reserve team members who have played in the Premier League to make guest appearances. Although they are not familiar faces, they are still serious players, and they are much better than Zuo Le using knock-off products.
Two days ago, when the crew was preparing to officially shoot, another good news came from the Red Devils Club. Two of the main stars were injured and were temporarily transferred to the reserve team. This time they also came to China with them, half filming a movie and half traveling.
Although these two stars cannot play for real, they can still show their faces. The Red Devils Club in "The Richest Man in Xihong City" also looks more real.
………
The football scene in "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is a big scene and not easy to shoot.
Especially for the audience, the Olympic Games can accommodate 50,000 people. Of course, it does not need to be full, but it must be at least 30,000 people to achieve the full capacity that Zuo Le hopes.
Just preparing to recruit these 30,000 extras is no simple task, let alone dressing these 30,000 extras in jerseys of different teams, and then directing them to perform according to the plot.
Zuo Le is now regarded as a top director in the industry. He has seen a lot of the world and directed a crew of thousands of people more than once or twice.
But this was his first experience with such a large scene of 30,000 people. Let’s not talk about whether the filming was good or bad. If something went wrong, it would not be a joke.
After much thought, Zuo Le felt that it was better to be cautious and shoot separately.
In other words, just shoot the group performances, let them cheer, dislike, and encourage them. After shooting the group performances, go to shoot the kicking scene, and finally use special effects to combine the two scenes.
This is time-consuming, but saves effort. The most important thing is that these ordinary people's guest appearances will not see most of the cast and crew, and there will be no problems such as star chasing and affecting the filming of the crew.
After that, Zuo Le asked the crew to contact various universities in Quancheng and offer a slightly higher price than ordinary extras, hoping to attract a large number of college students to come and guest star.
These college students have time and like to try new things, so they are easily attracted to come and experience guest roles. Moreover, most of the students are obedient and easy to communicate with, making it easy for the crew to direct.

Compared with ordinary residents, these college students are excellent group actors.
Shanhe's appeal among young people is quite high. It took a week for the crew to gather more than 20,000 college students to perform.
Then I contacted nearby residents and Taishan Club fan groups, and finally gathered 32,000 people. We set up a good angle to shoot, as if the entire Olympic Stadium was packed with people.
In the next few days, it was Zuo Le and several assistant directors who used loudspeakers to direct the group performers and shout slogans every day.
According to the plot, 99% of the fans first supported the Red Devils, and then cheered Gao Ran and several other Red Devils stars.
This Gao Ran is fictional. The setting is probably that of a young star who joined the Red Devils. He has a bit of a bad temper but is not bad in nature. Guo Jinfei makes a guest appearance.
Guo Jinfei's acting style can be either serious or humorous, he can act profoundly, and he is particularly funny when he plays angry and frustrated.
In the movie, he is arrogant and arrogant, and promises to kick the Daxiang team where the protagonist Wang Duoyu belongs to for double digits.
As a result, he was plotted by Zhuang Qiang, played by Jiang Chao, and was sent off with a red card as soon as he came on the field, and then encouraged the fans to shout "double digits".
In the end, the fans at the scene were moved by the persistence of the Daxiang team and switched sides before the battle, shouting "Daxiang, hold on" to express their support.
It took the crew two days just to shoot these, and then most of the extras were finished, leaving only a few thousand as backgrounds to shoot a few scenes among the fans.
For example, the heroine Xia Zhu has a showdown with her ex-boyfriend Liu Jiannan, and there is also a sand sculpture host explaining the situation of the game.
It is worth mentioning that the guest host is Teacher Tian Yantian, the proprietress of Shanhe.
It happened that Zuo Le played the role of coach and said, "What, the coach is warming up." The couple had an interaction in the movie, which was full of laughter.
