Chapter 564 Visiting the Set of Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy
industry.
The film "A Romantic Affair" starring Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying has been completed.
Netizens were dumbfounded. Wow, they said it would take two months to wrap up the filming, but it really didn’t take even a single day longer.
The film was later announced to the public that it would undergo three weeks of post-production editing and is expected to meet audiences and fans in August.
Now, the fans were happy, but people in the circle were dumbfounded. Many people discovered a new routine. It turned out that movies could be filmed and promoted in this way.
In late July, in addition to the highly anticipated premiere of "The Blade of the Assassin", the movie "Mad 7" starring Huang Xiaoming and "Magic" starring many NBA stars will also meet the audience.
Wow! Netizens exclaimed, “Wow!”
It has to be said that the leader's output during this period was really high, but it was also the peak period when he produced a lot of bad movies.
Compared to the length of time it took to shoot the movie "The Leader", netizens are more concerned about another big melon in the industry.
There’s big news in the circle again, top gossip about big stars.
At the premiere of the movie "Dangerous Liaisons", Zhang Ziyi said with tears in her eyes, "I just want to find a good and honest man to marry in this life." Whether it was to promote the movie or to express her feelings, Zhang Ziyi said directly on the spot.
At that time, netizens thought that this person was Xiao Sa, but now it seems that Xiao Sa is definitely not a good person.
The two of them officially announced their breakup.
Around this time in August and September last year, in order to promote the movie "Dangerous Liaisons", Zhang Ziyi announced her boyfriend, which immediately attracted countless attention and heated discussions inside and outside the circle.
At that time, a large number of netizens joked that Zhang Ziyi was the one who knew how to have fun, and Xiao Sa was the one who took over.
Now that the two have been exposed, many news stories from that time have been dug up by netizens. Both the entertainment industry and the Internet have been attracted by this big news and everyone is talking about it in an instant.
Led by Na Youniao, a large number of people in the music circle liked and congratulated.
The film and television industry has become much calmer. After all, Zhang Ziyi is an expert at flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. She has many competitors and enemies.
The online comments were the most intense, with everyone cursing Zhang Ziyi, saying that she hooked up with Wang Feng right after their breakup, and it was obvious at first glance that she was a bad person.
Coupled with the negative news about him abroad in the past, there is basically nothing good to say about him.
.........
When Gu Wei, Liu Yifei, Jiang Wen, Zhou Yun and four assistants appeared at the airport, the eyes of the media reporters lit up.
"Director Gu Wei and Liu Yifei appeared at the airport today and will visit the crew of Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy."
"Director Jiang Wen and his wife, together with director Gu Wei, visited the crew of Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy. It is reported that the main scenes of the film will be shot in Northeast China."
"The Chinese special effects 3D blockbuster "The Wandering Earth" will hold a press conference at the end of the month to announce the second global promotional song..."
"It is reported that Wang Baoqiang, Aaron Kwok and others are currently auditioning for Chen Kaige's latest movie "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain"..."
"Tiny Times" and "The Breakup Guru" are about to be taken off the screen. The former currently has a box office of 4.5 million yuan, and the latter has successfully exceeded 6 million yuan."
"The Sino-US co-production "Man of Tai Chi", jointly produced by China Film Group and Wanda Films, flopped at the mainland box office, and only earned less than 5 million US dollars on the first day overseas..."
"It is reported that the film cost as much as 1.5 million US dollars, and the salary of Hollywood star Keanu Reeves alone was as high as 1500 million US dollars.
There are endless news on the Internet, but what attracts the most attention is the box office of the two movies released last month.
With the help of fans, "Tiny Times" had a box office of 450 million, which is still within the acceptable range of most people. Although this movie has been criticized, it can at least be regarded as a typical example of fan box office.
But many people don't understand why "The Good Wife" has a box office of over 600 million and is heading for the record of "Seattle".
Among them is Wang Changtian.
Light, in the chairman's office.
Wang Changtian grinned and looked at Deng Chao with a look of satisfaction, satisfaction, and damn satisfaction.
After all, what else can we say about this box office data except satisfaction?
Deng Chao, on the other hand, had a very interesting expression on his face at this moment.
Excitement, excitement, disbelief, and a little inexplicable fear.
"I'm the director of the 600 million box office club? Why do I feel like I haven't done anything?" Even when facing Wang Changtian, Deng Chao still felt dizzy.
"Chao, you can hurry up and hold the celebration party. Director Gu and I have discussed it. We will do it just like Lost in Thailand. You will definitely get a big red envelope."
Compared to the big red envelope, Deng Chao felt that Wang Changtian's way of addressing him was a bit awkward.
But then I thought, my boss appreciates me and wants to give me a big red envelope, let alone shouting a few times, just make a contribution...
Forget it. Looking at Wang Changtian's smiling face, Deng Chao couldn't help but shudder...
……
Wohushan Film and Television City.
Located in Hengdaohezi Town, Hailin City, MDJ City, Heilongjiang Province.
It is a comprehensive tourist area that mainly provides film and television shooting services, and also has functions such as sightseeing, summer vacation, and patriotism education.
The main attractions here include Linhai Town, Jiapigou Village, Shenhe Temple, Weihu Hall, etc., covering an area of 25 square meters. It is an ancient building complex with the background of Northeast mountain culture and ice and snow culture in the 20s.
It is also one of the filming locations for the movie "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy 3D" and the TV series "Lin Hai Xue Yuan". The temperature in the Tiger Mountain Film and Television City in July is not too low, and the heavy snow has melted.
So currently the crew of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has changed the filming location and moved to the newly built Weihuzhai further north, a village not far from Mohe.
Gu Wei, Liu Yifei, Jiang Wen and his wife, plus their assistants, a total of seven or eight people, were transported by airplanes, cars and other means of transportation. They walked and enjoyed the natural scenery of Northeast China along the way, as if they were on a tour.
The reason why Jiang Wen followed along was naturally because the other party had not given up.
So, in addition to herself, she also launched the lady's diplomacy. After leaving the capital, Jiang Wen pestered Gu Wei, and kept discussing the script with him, talking nonsense.
Zhou Yun, on the other hand, was targeting Liu Yifei. These two were different from Chen Hong, another director's wife. They liked acting more than producing movies, so much so that after chatting for a while, they started calling each other "sister" and "sister", and they felt like they appreciated each other!
Gu Wei: "Then I'll leave?"
Jiang Wen: "Madam, don't just talk about acting, let's talk about business."
...
At the same time, the media news either included photos of Gu Wei and Liu Yifei at the airport, or videos of Jiang Wen, Zhou Yun and others traveling together were also circulated on the Internet.
Arrived at the crew of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".
When Xu Ke and a group of actors learned that Gu Wei, Liu Yifei, and Jiang Wen and his wife were coming to visit them, they took a rare day off.
Not far from the filming location, the crew booked several hotels and even private houses as residences for the actors and crew during filming.
Although this place is built as a tourist attraction, there are really few tourists and it is estimated that it will take a few more years for it to develop.
At around 1:00 p.m., several cars drove into the destination.
Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, wearing the same down jacket, got out of the car one after another.
Then, in a car behind, Jiang Wen and his wife also opened the door and got out.
In just three hours, they experienced what is called a rapid drop in temperature.
Especially Liu Yifei, who just got out of the car, with her head shrunk, her hands in her shirt pockets. Her red face was so cute and very pleasing to the eyes. You could see white mist when she breathed.
Xu Ke was wearing a thick down jacket. Seeing the appearance of the few people, he smiled and joked: "It's okay here at the hotel. Once you enter the mountains, the snow is really thick. Often, only half of last year's snow has melted, and this year's snow has come again, and it's even colder."
Then, Xu Ke continued, "Haha, Director Gu, Director Jiang, welcome to visit us."
Gu Wei and Jiang Wen: "Director Xu, you are too polite. I hope you didn't delay the filming by coming here suddenly."
"How could that be? With two big directors coming here, maybe they need your suggestions!" Xu said politely.
Speaking of which, Xu Ke is also an old antique in the director industry. He has experienced the golden age of Hong Kong films. He is polite to Jiang Wen on the surface, but he really admires Gu Weike.
After all, not every director can achieve such great success in Hollywood.
After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Ke welcomed them into the hotel, where many leading and supporting actors were waiting.
Even though it's a holiday today, the main actors are still in the hotel.
Hearing that Gu Wei, Liu Yifei and Jiang Wen and his wife were coming, Han Dongjun, Yu Nan, Zhang Hanyu, Liang Jiahui and others lined up and gave Gu Wei enough face.
"Gu Wei, Yifei, Director Jiang, welcome to visit the set."
"Welcome Director Gu and Director Jiang to visit the set."
Everyone was dressed warmly and greeted each other constantly.
"Director Gu, Director Jiang, these are several leaders from Heilongjiang's cultural and tourism department." After the actors greeted them, Xu Ke introduced them.
"Director Gu, Director Jiang, thank you for your hard work along the way." The leading leader was very enthusiastic. After all, having a good relationship with a big director would be very helpful to oneself.
Apart from anything else, if Gu Wei and Jiang Wen come here to make a movie in the future, it will also boost the local tourism industry.
"Hello, leaders!" Gu Wei and Jiang Wen responded immediately.
Speaking of which, domestic directors such as Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Chen Kaige have all shot travel-themed short films for certain places.
Gu Wei had received invitations more than once, but he was not interested.
But at this moment, the leaders of the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism wanted to add "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" to the tourism promotional video after the movie was released, and Xu Ke was very happy.
After the two sides chatted for a few sentences, Gu Wei noticed someone.
"You are, Simon?"
Gu Wei saw someone who looked familiar and asked uncertainly.
"Hello, Director Gu, my name is Xie Miao, and I played the sniper Ma Baojun in 'Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy.'" The other party replied immediately, a little nervously.
"Well, act well."
Gu Wei nodded. He was considered a child star, but it was a pity.
In this circle, it’s easy to leave when you’re popular, but it’s hard to come back.
"Thank you, Director Gu!"
Afterwards, Gu Wei also saw a number of actors whose names he couldn’t remember, but who were obviously third- and fourth-tier talented actors in the circle.
