Chapter 422: The shocking thief, the natural beauty
“Coming, coming!”
The media reporters gathered at the Beijing Airport looked up eagerly and looked excited.
Soon I saw the bodyguard clearing the way with a vigilant expression, and Liu Yifei, wearing sunglasses on her face and looking like a fairy, was walking towards her.
Aunt Liu next to her was wearing a floral skirt, smiling brightly, and seemed to be in a good mood.
The box office of "Flower Bouquet" has already reached 700 million, and it is making a killing in Asia. Compared with the domestic actresses, Liu Yifei has a vague feeling of next level.
"Wow! Liu Yifei! So beautiful!"
"Sissi, what do you think of the box office hit of "Bouquet"?"
"I'm very happy. "
Liu Yifei is quiet and easy-going, with a slight pause in her steps and a smile on her face: "Actually, I never thought that the box office would be so high. I am very grateful to the audience for their love and to the director. I think it is great. Part of the credit goes to him.”
"It seems that Zhou Yutang did not participate in the road show."
"Director Zhou participated in the first half. He has a tight schedule and still has dramas in hand, so I will run more."
"Yifei, Do you know? "
The entertainment reporter started to stir things up: "You are working hard on the road to promote, but Zhou Yutang hangs out in the nightclub, and your old relationship with Zhou Xun rekindled last night?"
" Huh?”
Liu Yifei and Aunt Liu were stunned for a moment.
The smile on Aunt Liu's face disappeared instantly, but Liu Yifei looked calm: "I'm not sure, it's probably a gathering between friends. If I don't have work to do, I also want to sing K with my friends. ”
Miss Xiao Liu and Shu Chang are famously close best friends, and their relationship with Zhou Xun is not bad either.
When Zhou Yutang left her to Zhou Xun to teach her acting skills, Mr. Zhou’s teaching method was very unique. He took Miss Liu shopping and singing karaoke and had a great time.
Though they were not doing their jobs properly and their acting skills did not improve, the two actually became best friends.
Zhou Yutang mentioned the matter of going to Xiao Wang Club when chatting with Tianxian that night.
Liu Yifei doesn't think Zhou Yutang will have anything to do with Zhou Xun at all. This is not Xiao Zhou's cup of tea at all.
She is very confident in herself!
That night.
This has been fully confirmed.
The clouds disperse and the rain collects, after cultivating immortality.
Liu Yifei leaned next to Zhou Yutang and talked about a lot of interesting things she encountered during the road show, and then asked: "Xiao Zhou, will you join the group soon?"
"Yeah."
Zhou Yutang hugged Liu Tianxian, who was just right soft and round, and couldn't help but kiss her gently on the cheek.
“What about the celebration party then?”
"Let Sister Shuang arrange it, the shooting time is a bit tight."
"Oh."
Liu Yifei smoothed her hair: "I also received a lot of announcements. I will come back to continue after the performance. Do you think I can win awards for acting in dramas in the future? "
"Believe in yourself, of course."
Zhou Yutang's hands slid gently on Tianxian's body.
"Really?"
Miss Liu's eyes were shining.
"Of course it is true."
The warm and soft feel brought by the exquisite curves forced Zhou Yutang to say something against his will.
To be fair.
Miss Liu's acting talent is not top-notch.
But at least they are willing to work hard.
As the man behind her, he must step forward and provide full support.
After the press conference, before Liu Yifei returned to the capital, Zhou Yutang took the time to spend a few days with the beauty in Tsing Yi.
After watching "Bouquet" with the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi, Jiang Dongyi is about to go to "Introduction to Architecture" to be a producer. He also bid farewell to Wenwen Township and arrived at the set of "The Thieves" in a low-key manner.
Although others are not present, the entire crew framework has been set up.
The three generals, Guo Fan, Wen Muye and Lu Yang, serve as deputy directors and are having a heated debate about the storyboard drawings. Chen Xi is explaining things to the director of photography, art director, special effects team leader and others.
Oh, Han Jia Nyeo is also there, she is the mascot of the crew.
Chen Xi straightened his back and had a small face, looking like an ace producer: "Director Zhou said, for special effects, no matter how much money is spent, just do it. The best.”
The investment budget of two hundred million is no joke.
The crew has more than 20 special effects teams, with a total team of more than 900 people.
The core shots were handed over to Vision Media and Warner mercenaries, while other secondary shots were outsourced.
“The shooting time this time is short, and I mainly focus on post-production. I want to bring a dazzling visual feast to the audience.”
Zhou Yutang came in and poured chicken soup to the crew and creators. : "With the colorful stage, dazzling lights, flying ribbons, and dazzling 360° rotating lenses, I want to make the audience feel as if they are really in a famous magician's special performance, watching an unparalleled show"< br>
A translator was communicating with Warner's top special effects experts. The fat white man, the leader of the special effects mercenaries there, was also very excited and wanted to have a big fight right away.
Chen Xi came over to report on the work: "Boss, Deng Chao may have to join the team a few days later. He wants to promote "Four Famous Catchers"."
"Ask him to hurry up. The filming cycle here is a bit tight."< br>
Zhou Yutang nodded and continued to discuss the plot with the three generals.
The film and television projects he participates in are not the kind where he is simply a producer. The production structure is usually U-shaped.
That is, the preparation period is long in the front, the shooting period in the middle is short, and the post-production period is long.
The film was prepared for nearly a year in the early stage. According to the industrial process of commercial film production in Hollywood, the storyboard was animated before the filming started.
Edit while shooting, and keep up with it in post-production.
But when things happen, there will inevitably be various surprises, and the actors' schedules will be very troublesome.
Zhou Yutang himself pushed a lot of announcements, and Hu Ge had no problem talking about it, but Deng Chao had his own company.
Now Deng Chao is also a first-line male star in the industry, with high commercial value. Not only does he have "Now You See Me", but he also has "Partners" to follow. During this period, he also has to take time to record a running man variety show.
This time I went to participate in the promotion work of "Four Famous Catchers", and it was also a special greeting from Guangguang Laowang. This face must be given no matter what.
The main creators of the crew are joining the crew one after another, and they are reading the script before filming starts.
“Let’s talk about the character first.”
Zhou Yutang began: “The male protagonist Akai is the king of the K organization who left clues in "Thieves Alliance". He is good at playing cards and borrowing money. This technique often captures the hearts of female viewers, so it corresponds to the meaning of the lover card. ”
"Guan Yin, played by Deng Chao, is positioned as the hermit card among the Four Horsemen of the K organization. He is good at hypnosis and mind reading. He has toured the world and performed for many years. Unexpectedly, all his money was taken away by his brother who also served as his manager. The remaining I am alone."
"Hu Jie, played by Lao Hu, is proficient in the art of unlocking and corresponds to the Death Card. There are several thrilling escape scenes."
"And that's it. Molly, played by Zha, is good at escape techniques. She is the priestess of the Four Knights of the K organization. She was also Akai's assistant."
At this point, Gulinaza raised his hand: " Director, I think we can add an emotional line between Molly and Akai, so as to attract the audience more."
Are you trying to attract the audience?
Several people turned their eyes in unison, making Gulinazha blush a little.
If you have anything to do or nothing, just lean in front of Zhou Yutang. Even a blind man can see what Guli Naza thinks about him.
“This is not the theme and selling point of the movie.”
Zhou Yutang said calmly.
Originally, there was an emotional line between Zhang Yi and Nagasawa Masami, but it was cut off by Zhou Yutang.
His version of "Now You See Me" involves blurring the domestic real-life background in order to pass the review.
Some settings in the movie are the same as the original plot, such as the identities of the Four Horsemen.
Mainly, it provides a more reasonable explanation for the behavioral motivations of several protagonists, and it also serves the layout of the entire movie universe.
The overall plot has also been changed, with Akai's family feud as the main line, and three unprecedented and stunning magic shows as the main highlights.
The last villain BOSS originally belonged to another mysterious organization, and killed Akai's father, the king of the previous generation K organization. Akai, who inherited his father's god-level talent, came back when he grew up. revenge.
The Four Horsemen are his most loyal companions, while Yumoto Sho's character is a bystander.
Using his words to explain the cracking and guessing of magic, the leader of the protagonist group appeared in front of him and gave the audience shocked reactions from several angles through the perspective of Mr. You.
It brings out the strong character of the protagonist group in a more layered sense.
The main plot is the revenge plan of the male protagonist Akai, and three dazzling magic shows are the process.
Through the police perspective, clues are obtained from the subjects of each magic show, and the plot progresses layer by layer, eventually leading to the final BOSS.
Then the four knights teamed up to plan the final show and killed the last villain BOSS. It turned out that the villain BOSS had a tattoo of Q on his body.
Dig another hole.
The movie started shooting very quickly, and the simple shots in the early stage were shot very smoothly. What was shot today was the blood sacrifice ceremony in Guli Nazha where he escaped from the mouth of a piranha.
Zhou Yutang came to the scene to watch the set. The external producer in charge of the props introduced attentively: "Director Zhou, this water tank prop is based on your request. I specially invited folk craftsmen to spend a lot of time. It only cost 300,000 yuan to make. It’s absolutely professional and easy to use.”
“300,000 yuan?”
"The craftsman from Baoding, Hebei Province charges very high fees."
"Look at the effect."
"Let me demonstrate."
The person in charge of props Life Producer showed Zhou Yutang how to operate the water tank.
There are switches on the upper and lower sides, which can be controlled freely.
There are many experts in folk craftsmanship. The prop master who makes this prop can add chicken legs.
Although Zhou Yutang suspected that the external producer had received kickbacks, he did not accuse him.
It is normal to receive kickbacks on the set. As long as the people below are not too ugly and can do things well, he will basically turn a blind eye when he sees it.
This water box is an important prop for the scene Guli Nazha is filming today.
Due to the limited time of the entire movie, in order to give the audience a clear understanding of the abilities of the Four Horsemen, each person arranged a simple appearance scene.
Nazar is good at escape techniques, and his scenes are mainly to highlight this point.
A watch with a 60-second countdown was hung at the scene, and Nazha’s hands and feet were tied with locked chains.
She needs to unlock the locked chains and escape from the water tank within the time limit.
Otherwise, she will be swallowed by a tank full of piranhas pouring down from her head.
Tense, exciting.
Just looking at it can get your adrenaline pumping.
"Is there any problem?"
Zhou Yutang went over and looked at Guli Naza and found that she was a little nervous.
“I can do it, director.”
Gulinaza went to learn how to swim for several months in order to prepare for today’s scene.
"Photography team, how are the camera positions prepared?"
"Ready, Director Zhou."
"OK, all departments pay attention."
"Repair makeup ."
"Scene, quiet, 3, 2, 1, start!"
When the recorder was making the call, the eyes of the extras, including Chen Xi, couldn't help but focus on Guli Naza.
Everyone felt a sense of surprise in their hearts.
No wonder people say they should believe in Zhou Yutang’s vision.
The two NPCs around her were tying and locking Gulina's hands and feet, and then pulled off the coat wrapped around her.
The delicate face, the silver deep V short skirt, revealing the snow-like skin, and the beautiful white legs, reflect the light that makes people's hearts beat violently under the light.
The scene began to emit a burst of excited roars that sounded like ghosts crying or wolves howling.
Poof!
The breathtakingly beautiful natural beauty is like a mermaid falling into a water tank.
