Chapter 270 Shooting
The excellence of "The Three-Body Problem" is unquestionable, and Jiang Wen really likes this book. He said a lot of praise at the press conference, which stunned the reporters. They thought in their hearts: Is it really that good?
But since both great directors Jiang Heng and Jiang Wen said it was good, it should be as good as "The Matrix"!

The actor who plays Wang Miao is Liu Yijun, who was born in 70 and is just over years old at the moment, which is similar to the age when Wang Miao first appeared.

But what Jiang Heng admired most was his scholarly air.

When this person was unknown, he was chosen to play Ning Caichen and co-starred with Liu Mintao in the mainland version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" - "A Ghost", which shows that his temperament is indeed outstanding.

In addition, although the role of Ouyang Yi he played in "Parents' Love" was not large, it was very stylish and eye-catching.

At this moment, he was still not famous and came here with the idea of ​​giving it a try. The moment he learned that he was chosen, he felt a sense of happiness that "came from heaven".

Until now, I still feel a little dizzy and not quite used to being around so many reporters.

"I really want to thank Director Jiang Heng. I want to say that I will do my best to act well in this play!"

Perhaps because he felt that his words were not important, Liu Yijun's speech was very short. Of course, the reporters were not very willing to waste the camera on him. At first glance, there was no topic to talk about. If they had time, they might as well explore the strange girls around him and see if they could find some sensitive topics.

"Hello everyone, my name is Wan Qian, and I play Yang Dong in this play. I would like to thank Director Jiang Heng for giving me, a small actor, the opportunity to participate in a big production. I will try my best to play this role well."

Upon hearing this, the reporters started taking photos non-stop. Although the girl in front of them was not a great beauty, she had a rare friendliness.

With her relationship with Jiang Heng, she will probably become famous sooner or later.

After the actors who attended the press conference expressed their opinions, the event ended.

Leaving aside the media reporters' departure, Jiang Heng led a group of actors and drove to the China Film Digital Base.

The title of this drama is the same as the title of the book: "The Three-Body Problem: Past Events on Earth".

In terms of plot, it is somewhat similar to the dual male protagonists. The line of Shi Qiang played by Jiang Wen is a suspense detective mode, investigating the successive suicides of a group of scientists.

During this process, there were some action scenes due to obstruction from the ETO organization.

As for Wang Miao, he naturally experienced the "Three-Body" game, and the famous dehydration scene was the focus.

In the end, Shi Qiang and Wang Miao worked together, one proposed the "Gu Zheng Project" and the other provided nano-flying knives to cut Evans and his cruise ship into pieces.

It is worth mentioning that the actor who plays Evans in this play is Tom Hittleston.

After all, they have worked together in "Pacific Rim 2" before, and he has a bit of aristocratic temperament, so it is not difficult for him to play a super rich second-generation who is a bit neurotic.

Therefore, in terms of film shooting, there are both real-life shooting and studio special effects shooting.

Arriving at the China Film Digital Base, Jiang Heng looked around as the crew prepared for filming. He occasionally spoke casually, instructing the staff to put away various equipment and props.

Jiang Wen, who was standing by, was surprised when he saw this. He thought that although Director Jiang was not very old, his ability to control scene scheduling was really strong. No wonder he could shoot so many special effects blockbusters one after another.

As the saying goes, there are all kinds of people in a crowd. When there are too many people, the difficulty of management increases sharply.

Not to mention places like film crews where the turnover of personnel is high and the number of people is large.

At present, there are definitely less than ten people in China who are capable of directing special effects blockbusters and making them well.

"Hey, Director Jiang, can we discuss something?" Jiang Wen said with a smile.

"Can I say no?"

"Don't refuse yet, just listen to me!"

"I think there's a high probability that you won't be able to say anything nice!"

"Hey, if you're going to keep talking like that, I'm leaving!" Jiang Wen pretended to leave. Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Tell me, is there a scene you like that you want to direct for fun?"

Jiang Wen was surprised, "Wow, how did you know?"

Jiang Heng thought, how should I know, you like to smuggle your own agenda and play gloomy things the most in your life. It would be strange if you are not jealous of such a good show by Ye Zhetai.

Jiang Heng said: "Not only do I know what you want to shoot, I also know which scene you want to shoot!"

Jiang Wen said: "Great minds think alike, leave it to me and I promise to take a good picture for you!"

Jiang Heng laughed: "I'm afraid you'll ruin my movie!"

Jiang Wen waved his hands quickly, "Not really, not really, isn't it just about passing the review? I promise this part will pass, okay?"

Jiang Heng remained silent. To be honest, he was not confident about this part. He could only try to shoot it. If it really didn't pass, he would have to find a way to modify it. Anyway, it would definitely be shown in China.

The box office in the mainland is at least 700 to 800 million yuan, with a profit share of more than 200 million yuan. It would be a huge loss if the film fails to pass the review.

Since Jiang Wen has volunteered, let him try it. At worst I can revise it myself.

The next day, the crew of "The Three-Body Problem" officially started filming. Jiang Heng brought a group of people to the studio to shoot various scenes in the "Three-Body Problem" game, as well as scenes of space, the Three-Body galaxy, and the Three-Body fleet going out to war.

Jiang Wen took a group of people to the next door to shoot Ye Zhetai's scenes.

Because the content filmed by Jiang Heng was too abstract, everyone in the crew who had nothing to do for the time being went to watch Jiang Wen filming.

In the Netflix version, Lan Xiya played a very brilliant role. In this drama, Ma Sichun played the role.

Ma Sichun, born in 88, just graduated from Communication University last year. It can be said that he has no acting skills.

But her aunt is Jiang Wenli, so if she wants to act, she naturally helps with various recommendations.

During Jiang Heng's years in Beijing, he naturally had to deal with people from various circles.

When preparing for a new play, you have to decide the important roles yourself. It will be difficult for anyone to force people in.

However, some less important supporting roles will still be arranged as appropriate.

On the set, Jiang Wen felt a sense of pride as he looked at the well-built stage and the young men and women wearing clothes that reflected the spirit of the times.

He waved his hand and said, "Start shooting!"

On Jiang Heng's side, someone would come over from time to time to tell him about the current status of Jiang Wen's filming.

It wasn't that he gave the order intentionally, but when they arrived at the location, someone naturally came to report.

"Director Jiang, Director Jiang Wen's filming is very radical, will it be..."

"It's okay, just let him take the photos for fun, I can just take more photos later!"

Firstly, the only important character in that scene is Ye Wenjie, and the rest can be replaced at any time. Although the scene is large, it is basically a group performance, so it is easy to reshoot.

The more important reason is that Jiang Wen is a famous director, and actor is his second identity. "The Sun Also Rises" is in the post-production stage, so it is not easy for him to be willing to take on the role of "Shi Qiang", and Jiang Heng wants to owe him a favor.

Just like Jiang Heng at this moment, his main identity is a director. Being able to play a role as an actor is not something that can be done with just a little pay. He has to remember the favor and repay it.

As for Jiang Wen, Ye Zhetai's scenes took a week to shoot, and when I took a look at them, they were indeed good. It would be even better if they didn't need to be edited during the review process!
