"Perfect World" started shooting in mid-July and is now on September 26th, with a shooting cycle of more than 70 days.
The shooting was not difficult. As long as Zhang Hanyu and Wu Lei were in the right condition, everything went smoothly.
For the character Wu Lei, his role is that of a cowardly, naive child who did not have a happy childhood and went through a journey to release his nature.
The plot is very simple, but the core is the chemical reaction between him and Zhang Hanyu.
In each plot, their relationship progresses from fear and wariness at the beginning, to dependence, and then to an emotion similar to that of a father.
Although Zhang Hanyu is also a father, with a daughter of about the same age, and Wu Lei himself is a son, the subtle "father-son" relationship between the two is still the biggest problem during filming.
However, fortunately, it's all over. The last scene was shot today, and it's officially finished.
This is also the last scene of the movie. In the final ending, Zhang Hanyu is shot to death.
We can call it a day after filming this scene, and everyone on the crew is extremely serious.
In the afternoon, after more than half an hour of preparation and nearly an hour of rehearsal, filming officially started.
Clearance.
recording.
Turn on the camera and focus.
Record board.
"Scene 117, one shot at a time!"
When everything was ready, Xu Zheng, who was wearing a peaked cap, raised his horn and shouted, "Start!"
Li Qian also sat up straight in front of the monitor. For the last scene, he didn't want to have to wait for the film to be developed and printed tomorrow and have to reshoot if there were any problems.
On the monitor, Zhang Hanyu was sitting under a tree, covering his abdomen that was stained red with blood, while Wu Lei was squatting next to him with a worried look on his face.
At this time, the police had surrounded them, police cars were roaring in, and a helicopter was hovering in the sky.
The criminal police captain played by Deng Chao began a routine attempt to persuade him to surrender.
Although Zhang Hanyu was seriously injured and surrounded, he did not panic at all at this time. Instead, he responded to him according to Deng Chao's tone.
"If you withdraw from here, then I can consider leaving the child at the border, otherwise, the bullet will go through his head, I guarantee it!"
Trapped in a tight siege, seriously injured, and still so arrogant, the police were speechless.
As the captain of the criminal police, Deng Chao has seen countless criminals, but things like this are still very rare.
After holding the speaker to his mouth for two seconds, Deng Chao put it down and gave orders to all the police officers in the headphones.
"Attention, all teams, if there is any abnormality in the suspect, kill him immediately!"
When he said this, his face did not change at all, as if ordering killings was a normal thing.
However, Wu Gang, who wanted to save Zhang Hanyu, was anxious, "Captain Li, he has no ill intentions towards the child."
"I repeat, if the suspect does anything detrimental to the hostages, he will be killed immediately."
Deng Chao seemed to have not heard anything and issued the order again, turning to stare at Wu Gang, "Director Wu, if you believe it, you will hand over the safety of the child to a criminal?"
Wu Gang became anxious and said quickly, "The family also confirmed that the injury on his body was caused by the gun fired by the child. Now the child is still unharmed. In this case, the child is still intact. At least it proves that he will not hurt him."
Innocent child."
No matter what Wu Gang said, Deng Chao remained unmoved, holding a telescope and staring at Zhang Hanyu's every move.
"Okay, keep one!"
The shot from the police perspective went smoothly at first, and there was no problem the second time, so I continued with the next shot.
In the last scene, everyone put in 200% of their energy.
In the second scene, the little boy's mother arrived. Zhang Hanyu asked them to bring some candies, potato chips, cola and other snacks. He gave Wu Lei a bite of each and warned his mother that she would take him with her in the future.
Go to the playground and let him play with other children. Always have some snacks and game consoles at home.
"Scene 117, three shots, once!"
"start"
In the third shot, Zhang Hanyu and Wu Lei shook hands and said goodbye.
Wu Lei put on the Sun Wukong mask that Zhang Hanyu bought for him, raised his hands, and walked step by step in the direction of his mother and the police.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but halfway through, Wu Lei stopped.
Turning his head, he saw Zhang Hanyu holding one hand on the ground, kneeling and crawling hard in the other direction.
He looked back at his mother, turned around and ran back without hesitation.
He helped Zhang Hanyu up, held his hand, and walked toward the police with his support.
The policemen immediately became nervous. Wu Gang strode towards them and looked at Zhang Hanyu with a complicated expression.
We are old acquaintances, I don’t know how many times I have been caught by him.
Zhang Hanyu smiled, let go of Wu Lei's hand, knelt on the ground, and took out a photo from his pocket.
Everyone immediately became nervous. Wu Gang's expression suddenly changed and he turned around sharply.
But it was too late, Deng Chao shot.
"boom!"
Hit right in the chest.
Zhang Hanyu fell suddenly.
...
The main shots have been shot, and all that's left are a few scattered shots.
Wu Gang's face was full of guilt, and Deng Chao only realized that Zhang Hanyu had no weapon in his hand after he fired the gun, and a look of confusion flashed across his face.
As an experienced criminal policeman, he had already studied Zhang Hanyu thoroughly during the pursuit, and his understanding of him was no less than that of Wu Gang.
But when Zhang Hanyu reached into his pocket, he fired without hesitation, without even a 0.1 second of hesitation.
As a criminal police officer, he must do this. Even if there is only a 1% chance of pulling out a weapon, he must kill the criminal.
Completed one shot at a time,
At 5:30 in the afternoon, all shots were taken.
The movie is finished!
The crew then stayed in Yundian for another two days. After the materials from these two days were developed and carefully reviewed to confirm that there were no problems, it was truly over.
Return to the capital and go back to your homes.
.......
After two and a half months of intense work, Li Qian had to stay at home for three days.
This trip went directly from September to October.
The National Day is here, and the film market has also ushered in a peak.
After "The Founding of a Republic" took in 140 million at the box office in its first week, it took another 110 million in its second week.
As of October 2, the total box office has been close to 300 million.
It broke 300 million in 16 days, and now it is another seven-day holiday. It is safe to break 400 million. It depends on whether it can break the box office record of "Transformers 2".
The box office record in mainland film history has just been set during the summer vacation, and within a few months, it is about to break the record again.
Moreover, it is a Chinese-language movie, so the meaning is different.
No matter how much criticism the outside world has for this all-star cast main theme movie, the mainstream media and most entertainment media are almost all praising it.
However, this movie is not the only one on the market. The spy movie "The Wind" invested and distributed by Huayang Media also sold well at the box office during the National Day, with a box office of 12 million on the first day.
This is still the 29th, a working day, and considering the spy genre, the two directors Chen Guofu and Gao Yushu have little box office appeal. This data is incredible.
Even if it stars Li Binbin, Zhou Xun, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming and other stars, this is still a very abnormal data.
Don't look at Zhou Xun and Zhang Hanyu, who each starred in movies with a box office of over 200 million, but their box office appeal is still hard to say.
"Women Are Not Bad" was still directed by Xu Ke and starred by Zhou Xun, and the box office was just like that.
The same is true for the comedy movie "Peach Blossom" starring Ge You last year.
Mainland actors basically do not have box office appeal, and the audience only recognizes the director.
Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chaowei are not only famous, but also based on more than ten classic movies. Through accumulation, they have gained their current box office appeal.
After reading the news for a while and asking around Happy Blue Ocean and Pacific Cinemas, I found out that the actual box office on the first day was only 7 million.
"7 million is worth 12 million. This satellite is big enough."
Li Qian was speechless. Huayang Media actually had a tradition of falsely reporting box office for a long time. This phenomenon also exists in many movies from other companies, but this is almost twice as much, which is outrageous.
"But isn't Huayang Media going public at the end of the month? How dare you falsely report the box office?" Tong Liya asked in confusion.
"Who said Huayang Media falsely reported its box office?"
"..."
Tong Liya looked like you were stupid, "Didn't you just ask? It's only 7 million."
"That's right, but it's not from Huayang Media Company."
Li Qian smiled and pointed to the news on the Internet and said, "Look, all the news about the box office of "The Wind", what these media said."
"What did you say?"
"Didn't you see the three words "It is understood?" Where did they learn about it?"
"from where?"
"How do I know? They won't say it was Huayang Media who told me."
"What do you mean?" Tong Liya was a little confused.
"you're so dumb."
Li Qian shook his head, "These box office data are known by these media themselves. Whether it is true or false has nothing to do with Huayang Media. How can this be considered a false box office report?"
What does your arresting Zhou Shuren have to do with Lu Xun?
"Is this still possible?"
"Is there any problem? There is no news that Huayang Media has announced the box office. In fact, Huayang has not announced the box office at all. All the box office information was obtained by the media from unknown sources."
Tong Liya was dumbfounded. This was not done for obvious reasons.
"It's nothing new, but almost doubling it is a bit much. And if you haven't noticed, when China Film reports the box office of "The Founding of a Republic", it never mentions "The Wind", whether it's 12 million or 7 million.
They didn’t even report on it. Instead, they reported on the news about “The Wind” and often brought up the box office results of “The Founding of the People’s Republic of China.” The two parties have obviously coordinated well.”
Box office information is not transparent enough. That's it. All the box office data that the people can know are all published by the media and distribution companies.
However, the total box office will not be misleading. It is estimated that Huayang Media will not announce the daily box office and will not announce the first weekend box office until this week is over.
Even if the ratio between the first day box office and the first weekend box office is much different, the audience will not bother about it.
But if you put it all together, "The Wind" is indeed a very good movie, as one columnist wrote:
There are 172 stars in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", but they can't compete with one old ghost in "The Wind".
The old ghost Gu Xiaomeng's monologue at the end of the film also touched everyone who watched the movie.
It is the only Chinese-language film to have such a wonderful spy film.
Chen Guofu, who is good at suspense, and Gao Yushu, who is good at crime themes and has interviewed serious criminals many times for filming, gaining insight into human nature, are a perfect combination in the spy genre.
This National Day episode is even more lively than when "Painted Skin" was released last year, and the topic of who is the leading female lead between Li Binbin and Zhou Xun has also aroused controversy among fans of both parties.
This problem will arise whenever the heroine is juxtaposed and the two actors are of similar caliber.
Not to mention famous celebrities, even in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I still see posts discussing who is the protagonist from time to time.
Of course, this is a bit obvious. Zhuge Liang basically has the most roles, and he spans more eras and appears more often. After all, the later period is the battle between Wei and Shu, and Soochow is not written in such detail.
Although Sima Yi is more capable, he doesn't have much to do in the early stage, and becomes more of a villain in the later stage.
And in terms of popularity, Teacher Tang Guoqiang would certainly not give in.
The movie market is so lively, but Li Qian will have to wait until later to join in.
After three days of rest, it’s time to get into the next stage of work.
