In early July, Zhang Yuan and his assistant flew to Hengdian World Studios.
He knew this place well.
In other words, anyone who is a popular artist is familiar with them.
The largest sub-scene of Hengdian Film and Television City is the nationally famous Ming and Qing Palace Gardens.
This place was completely constructed at the end of last year.
The founding date was 1998!
The entire Forbidden City is restored 1:1 here.
Only Tiananmen was reduced by 20%, and the rest were built according to the original site of the imperial capital.
Outside the Qing Palace.
There are also replicas of palaces in the Ming, Tang and Song Dynasties.
Since the filming of "The Last Emperor" was completed in 1986, the country has issued regulations and no longer allows any crew to enter the Forbidden City for filming.
Even later, any commercial photography was banned, just to protect cultural relics.
Of course, if the relationship is strong enough and filming is not possible, it is still possible to drive a big G and go for a few laps...
In short, since this regulation was issued, the Hengdian government quickly approved more than 1,500 acres of land for the construction of Ming and Qing palaces!
The main palace scene in Lao Mouzi's "City Full of Modern Golden Armor" was also placed here.
"Brother Yuan, I found the agent and asked about it." Zhao Juexuan held a stack of promotional brochures.
"The high-end buildings near the film and television city cost about 3,000 yuan."
"The best villa costs six thousand and one square meters."
Zhang Yuan thought, he has been to Hengdian several times, why not buy some houses?
"Forget it about the villa." Zhang Yuan waved his hand.
After all, Hengdian is actually a "big factory", and celebrities all come to work here.
When you work all day long, how can you think about living in a villa and enjoying life?
I will definitely choose a high-end residential community with top-notch privacy, services and properties.
"Area 120 to 180."
"The price of a set is four to five million..."
Zhang Yuan was thinking, should I buy a building and wait for the value to increase, and rent it out to various actors to earn some rent.
Forget it, it’s better not to waste money. It’s better to spend your money here than to buy a house in the Imperial and Magic Capitals.
When I become big, someone in Hengdian will give me a house.
Didn’t Feng Xiaogang just buy a villa in Anji?
He led his assistant into the completed "Golden Armor" park.
Entering through the back door, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but let out a sigh as soon as he reached the huge square.
"It has to be Lao Mouzi!"
Wang Shuo, the number one troll in the imperial capital, once said.
"Zhang Yimou is a decoration person!"
Seeing this majestic, majestic and magnificent Tang-style scenery, I have to say that Wang Shuo's words make sense.
"Renovation", Lao Mouzi is really good at it.
It’s also a period movie.
Look at Poet Chen, it's not as depressing and deep as "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", or as colorful as "The Promise".
Only Lao Mouzi's "Hero" uses colors both steadily and boldly.
The cost is 360 million!
I can shoot three "Night Banquets".
This investment sounds scary, but when you are actually in this magnificent scene, you feel that the money is well spent.
This is why even though "Eight Minutes in Athens" was scolded like that, the General Administration of Sports still chose Lao Mouzi to be the chief director of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games.
Who else would I be!
There is no one else in China who can do this job.
But there are quite a few senior leaders participating in the campaign together.
The most famous one is Chen Kaige.
This is where his name as a poet comes from.
"Suddenly it was announced outside the sword that Jibei was being collected. When I first heard about it, my clothes were filled with tears."
The people in the organizing committee were confused on the spot.
We came to you to submit a proposal, not to recite poetry to express your excitement.
And what do you mean by reading this poem?
The background of the creation of this poem was that Du Fu was extremely happy when he suddenly heard that the Anshi Rebellion was over.
Are you comparing your previous failed Olympic applications to the Anshi Rebellion?
Who are you mocking?
This is dead.
Now Zhang Yuan can't even listen to the song "Wen Guanjun Takes Henan and Hebei".
Du Fu even wanted to lift up the coffin board and give Chen Poet and his wife a mouthful.
Ang Lee recruited Lin Huiyin’s niece Lin Ying and Jacob Turner, the chief designer of the Atlanta Olympics.
But when the people from the General Administration of Sports took a look, Li An's plan was good.
But none of the helpers found were Chinese, and Lin Ying was also an American.
As for Ang Lee himself, he is from mainland China, has dual citizenship in Taiwan, and holds a green card from a lighthouse country. There is not enough space for him to ride on.
And look at this person's resume, "The Wedding Banquet", "Eat Drink Man and Woman", "Brokeback Mountain", "Lust, Caution"...
Director Li likes to discuss taboo topics, especially taboo love.
This person is good at pondering niche topics and amplifying and presenting them with great detail.
Generally speaking, he is a director dominated by emotion and is not suitable for big scenes.
In the end, it was Lao Mouzi who took the drawings of the two cars and the extremely detailed design plan, and talked clearly and clearly to the members of the organizing committee.
It's not that Lao Mouzi is so good, it's that the rest of them are really not qualified for this job.
At least Lao Mouzi knew what he was doing and how to do it. Most of the others were confused and did not conform to the wishes of the superiors at all.
And Lao Mouzi also has an amazing talent, that is, like Chen Long, he has amazing energy and physical fitness!
This guy was preparing for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games while filming "The Golden Jacket"!
Zhang Yuan just arrived now, but he had been filming at the Wulong Tiankeng for several months.
When they were filming the killer parachuting down and chasing down the imperial physician and his family in the hospital, Lao Mouzi specially invited the leaders of the General Administration of Sports to watch.
Just to show off my scheduling and directing abilities.
People from the General Administration of Sport were very satisfied after reading it.
At the same time, I also came to Hengdian with Lao Mouzi and had to discuss the future plan.
At the same time, Lao Mouzi also told the leader that there is a larger dispatching scene in Hengdian, and he can visit it for reference.
What he was talking about was the scene of the golden warriors attacking the city.
That was a scene with thousands of people!
It can basically be regarded as a preview of the Olympic opening ceremony.
There is no need to film. Zhang Yuan would have a splitting headache and his head would explode if he just thought about controlling thousands of extras, wearing armor, shouting slogans, and charging forward uniformly.
Others really don't dare to play like this.
Bang, bang, bang... Zhang Yuan was leading his assistant around the scene when the sound of horse hooves sounded from behind him.
Horses can be dangerous. As soon as Zhang Yuan heard the sound, he quickly turned his head and took two steps back.
Only then did he see a man with squinting eyes walking slowly in his direction, accompanied by an equestrian.
"86 is going up the mountain..." Zhang Yuan looked and muttered in his heart.
Then he greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Hold... hold... my horse."
Jay Chou took a long stride and stepped on the horse under the stirrups.
He landed with some caution, and even swayed a few steps after stepping on the ground.
Seeing him like that, Zhang Yuan knew that this person was not yet mature enough.
Bang bang bang... Jay Chou hugged him and patted his back several times.
“Long time no see!”
"I just saw it last time in the Demon City." Zhang Yuan smiled and walked forward with him to the zero-hour room built next to the scene.
That’s where the director’s crew and lounge area are located.
"It won't be long, but we have to wait and see each other for three days." Jay Chou also glanced at the words.
Do you also want to be a poet?
Zhang Yuan slandered and turned around.
"You mean, you are very powerful now."
"Tell me not to underestimate you?"
"Hehehehe..." Unexpectedly, Jay Chou smiled with his iconic lips.
"You're wrong. I mean, I should be impressed by you."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Yuan felt confused.
"I didn't expect that you could also play the piano."
"When we were filming "Initial D", you didn't even show me your hand."
Zhang Yuan touched his chin: "You already know that I can play the piano?"
"Hahaha, not only I know it, but the whole country should know it now!"
Following him to the dedicated rest area, the man opened his laptop and played a video to Zhang Yuan.
Thump, thump thump, thump thump thump, thump thump, thump thump thump...
Zhang Yuan:......
Who the hell posted the video of me playing Pleasant Goat at the piano store online!
Do you respect your privacy?
Zhang Yuan's face was as dark as a capitalist's conscience, while Dong Zhou on the side hugged his shoulders and laughed.
"I can't even play this piece of music you play, it must be very difficult!"
"It's as high as three or four stories high!" Zhang Yuan didn't have time to pay attention to him.
Everyone has seen this, where is my dignity, Yang Guo?
He quickly took the computer and started searching.
The result left him speechless.
"So cute!"
Zhang Yuan:......
He looked at the comments in the forum and was completely speechless.
"He actually plays pretty well."
"I am a level 10 piano player and I don't know this piece of music, so Zhang Yuan's level is higher than mine!"
"The piano that Zhang Yuan plays is the million-dollar flagship of Steinway. I never thought that the music of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" could be played on such an expensive piano."
"Zhang Yuan shouldn't have played with a Steinway. He should have used the island's national piano next to him. That brand is called Kawai. The homophonic sound means cute in Japanese."
Zhang Yuan also didn't expect that he would open up a new track... The contrast is cute.
Just like later Tengger singing "Learning to Meow", not only did everyone not hate it, but they actually loved it.
Even if Jiao Enjun speaks Shandong dialect, he won't be annoying.
Everyone ridiculed him for playing children's songs, but it only strengthened his image of being down-to-earth and down-to-earth.
This kind of contrast is very rare in this era.
With Yang Guo's serious and deep look, he backhanded him with "Don't look at me like I'm just a sheep". Who could stand this?
What's more, Zhang Yuan's shot from the video source that someone secretly filmed online was made into an expression picture and posted under the video of him playing the piano.
"I'll beat your lungs out!"
When Zhang Yuan arrived, he thought to himself that this guy is really a genius, which perfectly expressed my current mood.
Up to this point, it's actually not bad. It's just some fun people on the Internet and his own fans posting pictures and videos for fun.
It can't stir up much trouble.
But things soon went wrong.
Because someone discovered...
"Hey, this theme song of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was sung by our little dragon girl!"
"Now Yang Guo plays it himself... Could it be that this is a confession!"
"Confessing love through music, so romantic!"
"Love, love, this way of confession really makes me love."
"Come on, can you get me insulin quickly? It's too sweet, I can't stand it..."
There had been a wave of romance scandals between the two of them when they were in Hong Kong, but now they were revealed again.
In fact, there is still room for relaxation at this point, so we can just deal with it in a low-key manner.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qianqian went to see "Crazy Stone" with her mother, and was photographed in front of the theater.
This time it’s even more serious.
One played a song sung by the other, and the other went to support a movie starring the other.
Netizens loved Lenovo the most, and this incident immediately became a hit.
The power of spontaneous circulation is limited. After all, there was no Weibo Little Red Book back then, and the power of online communication was far less than that of later generations.
But I’m afraid that someone will help hype it up!
Previously, the news in Xiangjiang was dominated by bearded men.
Now he takes a look.
"Yo ho!"
"Isn't this a scandal that just arrived at my door? I would be sorry if I didn't speculate on it!"
He was already preparing for the broadcast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in Hong Kong and Baodao. How could he miss such a topic dropped from the sky?
Then ask the navy to start forwarding.
Longyang CP is on fire!
It’s okay to talk about the big beard’s hype, Zhang Yuan has long been used to it.
But at this time, someone else also jumped out.
Lei Yin: It’s a deal, double happiness is coming!
The director of Golden Eagle Cartoon, who had just spent a lot of money to buy animation, saw the video of Zhang Yuan playing Pleasant Goat and immediately decided to speculate.
It can just increase the popularity of animation, which will definitely be beneficial to attracting investment in Taili.
In this way, Zhang Yuan was thrust into the spotlight.
He quickly called Liu Qianqian.
I'd like to ask them what they think.
After all, the scandal is not his alone.
The result...
"My godfather plans to arrange for me to release a single CD of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf". He said that this animation is now very popular and topical, which will help my music career."
Zhang Yuan:......
Okay, okay, you all choose to grab it while it's hot, right?
You can do it all by me!
It also helps the music career...that's not what you said before.
I also think that children’s songs are too childish.
Zhang Yuan entered a state of lying down and letting himself be fucked.
"Zhang Yuan, I will graduate in a few days. Will you come to my graduation ceremony?" Xiao Longnu was not affected by the love scandal on the Internet at all.
Forget it for others, he...I'm happy with it!
"Uh, I'm filming on the set." Zhang Yuan rubbed his eyebrows.
"I guess I can't run away. We'll see when the time comes."
"Oh..." The girl's somewhat disappointed voice came from the other side of the phone.
Putting down his phone, Zhang Yuan felt a headache.
"You must be careful in the future."
“With my current popularity and fame, I’m taking pictures everywhere.”
"Maybe one day I will be raped online."
He thought, that's all.
I just hid on the set for a few months and waited for the heat to pass.
He was about to go to the winter camp when Ning Hao suddenly called him.
"Zhang Yuan!"
"Brother Yuan!"
"Please take my knee off!"
"The way you entered the game with your own body is the greatest propaganda I have ever seen in my 10 years in the industry!"
"Netizens are buying tickets one after another, and our box office has gone crazy!"
Zhang Yuan was stunned for a while, not understanding.
"What are you talking about?"
Ning Hao was extremely excited.
"I really didn't expect it, blame me!"
"I'm stupid!"
"You were so calm before, you must have thought of a method long ago, but I didn't even notice it!"
[Received thanks from Ning Hao, +1 for script understanding! 】
"I never expected that you could use the popular cartoon to create hype."
“The result immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the audience.”
"Everyone who goes to the cinema to watch "Crazy Stone" is doing it because of you!"
"High, high."
"Too high!"
Zhang Yuan's face was covered with black lines.
Did I do that?
But he thought of the hype methods used in later movies.
A billion-level film can sell more than 3 billion box office through publicity.
Promotional expenses can even account for half of the total cost!
The two people who are the most skillful at this are Chen Sicheng and Jia Lin.
Anyway, as long as they can increase exposure and drive box office, these film and television people can do anything.
Speculating on CP has become standard practice.
Speculation on marriage, speculation on divorce.
Even plagiarism is a point of speculation.
I am not afraid of being scolded, but I am afraid that no one will pay attention to me.
He didn't expect that when he tried the piano himself, it would become a "hot search".
"Zhang Yuan, as soon as you take action, our film can withstand the pressure of "The Return of Superman"."
"This is all your fault."
Zhang Yuan slapped his mouth several times, not knowing how to speak.
His original idea was to take advantage of the more than a week before "Superman Returns" was released to make a profit.
The combined box office of 25 million in the first weekend and first week was in line with, or even slightly exceeded, his expectations.
But he thought that in the face of Hollywood blockbusters, the box office of "Crazy Stone" in the second week would be halved.
Therefore, his box office expectation for the film is around 40 million.
The investment-to-box office ratio is more than 10 times, which is already amazing.
But if this is the case now...it might be more than that. (End of chapter)
