Director Zhong and Director Li accompanied Yang Ye into the studio. When the director saw them, he wanted to shout stop, but Yang Ye waved his hand to stop him.
The three of them stood aside and watched them quietly.
When they finished filming a clip, the director called the actors over and introduced to Yang Ye: "These two are young actors from our factory, Liang Boluo and Chen Hong. This is an international director. Mr. Yang Ye, you should all know him!"
"Hello, Director Yang!"
The two young actors shook hands with Yang Ye in surprise.
"Hello!"
"City Detective" is Chen Hong's first fashion film. This film is not worth mentioning, there is nothing to say.
Yang Ye made a few random comments, praising Liang Polo for his good performance and Chen Hong for her temperament.
Chen Hong's acting is just a piece of cake. She really has nothing to praise, only her temperament.
Everyone chatted awkwardly for a while, Director Zhu said: "Director Yang, it's time for dinner, why don't we go eat first and chat while we eat!"
Yang Yeke followed the host, so everyone went to a restaurant called Dianshizhai near the movie studio.
Yang Ye raised his head and glanced, hey, Yu Qiuyu mentioned the name of the store.
Yu Qiuyu's cultural prose is very famous, but it's just no brainer. He once boasted about Kangxi's great achievements of killing 318 rabbits in one day in "The Back of a Dynasty".
“All of this is actually not mutually exclusive with the Chinese studies that he (Kangxi) was obsessed with, actually not mutually exclusive with him hunting 318 hares a day, actually not mutually exclusive with his series of major political actions, Military behavior and economic behavior are not mutually exclusive."
Kang Mazi bragged and he really believed it, and he even wrote it in the book openly.
I don’t even think about the concept of shooting 318 rabbits in one day.
Assuming Kang Mazi shoots for eight hours without eating or drinking, which is 480 minutes, then he needs to kill a rabbit every minute and a half to shoot 318 rabbits.
He didn’t even say where there were so many rabbits for him to shoot. Even if there were, shooting arrows for several hours continuously is something that a human can do?
Could it be that Kang Mazi is not an ordinary person, but actually the Green Arrow?
Yang Ye is not interested in Yu Qiuyu, but he is a little interested in his wife Malan. Malan is Tang Seng's biological mother in "Journey to the West".
The group of people sat down in the box, and the dishes came out quickly. They were all local dishes, such as braised pork, fried shrimps, fried eel paste, eight-treasure duck, drunken chicken...
Chen Hong is well-behaved, Take the initiative to stand up and pour wine for everyone.
Director Zhong raised his glass to Yang Ye and said: "This is the first glass of wine, we welcome Director Yang to Shanghai!"
Yang Ye was not too proud, he raised his glass and said: "This time "Geisha" The crew of "Memoirs" came to Shanghai to shoot. Thanks to Director Zhong and Director Li's help in communication and coordination, it was able to go so smoothly. Thank you very much. "
Director Zhong said: "Director Yang, you are so polite, your company came to Shanghai to film. , is to support the development of Shanghai. It is our obligation to provide convenience for you! ”
Everyone stood up and had a drink, then sat down and the banquet officially started.
At the beginning of the reform, in order to make money, the country gave the green light to co-productions.
When Spielberg came to Shanghai to shoot "Empire of the Sun", Shanghai deliberately blocked traffic on several streets near the Bund to facilitate Spielberg's filming.
This time Lao Si came to film "Memoirs of a Geisha" again, and Shanghai spared no effort to support it.
The Japanese town that Lao Si built needed cherry blossom trees. In order to pursue authenticity, Shanghai actually helped him move a dozen cherry blossom trees from elsewhere.
As an investor, Yang Ye said a few free words of thanks, which quickly brought everyone closer, and the atmosphere at the banquet became very harmonious.
After three rounds of drinking, Director Zhong got down to business and hoped that Yang Ye could invest in the film industry in Shanghai.
Yang Ye has already had this intention and said: "Shanghai is the largest city in China, and Shanghai Film Studio is very powerful. In fact, we have long had the idea of coming to Shanghai to build a film and television base and establish more cooperation.
< br>The Guangming Film and Television City in Shenzhen now has three streets: Guangzhou Street, Hong Kong Street, and Macau Street. When I was planning to build Nanjing Road, I stopped them.
Because Shanghai Beach is a popular theme for film and television dramas. It is not enough to have one Nanjing Road, it must involve other places in Shanghai
Therefore, I think that if Nanjing Road is restored elsewhere, it would be better to build it in Shanghai or surrounding areas, which would be much more convenient.
I was filming in Songjiang recently. I think the location of that Japanese town is very good. If possible, I hope to build a film and television city there. "
As soon as Yang Ye said this, Director Zhong was overjoyed. If he can facilitate this, it will be his political achievement.
Due to the needs of economic development, Nanjing Road in old Shanghai will no longer be able to Keep the original appearance.
But this road has too much history and too many stories. The Shanghai government hopes to replicate a Nanjing Road elsewhere.
This costs a lot of money and requires maintenance once built.
So the best way is to build a film and television city.
In this way, not only can Nanjing Road be preserved, but it can also bring economic benefits through film and television shooting, tourism and other projects.
In fact, even if Yang Ye doesn’t come to invest, Shanghai will still do this.
The address they selected was in Songjiang, which was later known as the "Chedun Film and Television City".
However, this Chedun Film and Television City is of no use at all, it is just a toy.
Because when Shanghai was building Chedun Film and Television City, it was scaled down in order to save money.
This reduction ratio is based on one-sixth of the facade.
Moreover, the landmark buildings on Nanjing Road were also delaminated.
What does it mean? That is to say, by removing one floor from the original relatively tall building, the construction cost will be significantly reduced.
For example, the Yong'an Department Store in real life was a six-story building, but in the Chedun Film and Television City it was a five-story building, which was a lot shorter.
Although in the movie, no one would really count the height of the floors, but the picture effect can still tell that there is a sense of history.
Therefore, the momentum of Nanjing Road in Chedun Film and Television City obviously fails to meet the basic requirements for realism.
If you want to truly appreciate the momentum of old Shanghai, you can watch "Empire of the Sun" directed by Spielberg in 1987 and "The Emperor of Shanghai" directed by Pan Wenjie and starring Lu Liangwei in 1993.
Both films were shot in real scenes, leaving behind original images and scenes of Shanghai in the 1980s that will never be seen again.
When Pan Wenjie brought Liu Hua and Leslie Cheung to Shanghai to shoot "New Shanghai Beach" in 1996, he was unable to apply for filming at the original location and had to go to Chedun Film and Television City to shoot.
As a result, the streets in "New Shanghai Beach" were limited by the narrow streets of the film and television base and the simplicity of the scenery. They no longer had the texture of real scenes in "Shanghai Emperor", resulting in a greatly reduced effect.
The Suzhou River in Chedun Film and Television City has been reduced in size. It is just a small ditch, and the famous Waibaidu Bridge above it is like a toy.
Many film and television works are afraid to film this bridge because it is too fake.
But it’s not easy to go to the original location to take photos because it’s too modern. Many movies of later generations had to give up filming in Chedun Film and Television City because it was too crude, distorted and rough.
For example, when Guan Rui was filming "The Eight Hundred", he found another place in Suzhou to excavate the Suzhou River and build buildings along the river at a ratio of 1:1.
It not only increased the production cost of the movie, but also caused Chedun Film and Television City to lose a lot of business.
And because this film and television city is so frustrating, many tourists are disappointed after going there and never come back again.
Now that Yang Ye has come to invest, he will not do such stupid things. He immediately talked about the plan to build Chedun Film and Television, which made Director Zhong and Director Li yearn for it.
Yang Ye also said that after the film and television city is completed, he will cooperate with Shanghai Film Studio to shoot a movie in the film and television city and distribute it globally, making the film and television city famous in one fell swoop.
In addition, we will also introduce the crews from Hong Kong and Taiwan who come to Chedun to shoot movies and TV series. It’s a wonderful meal.
Director Zhong and Director Li were very happy eating Yang Ye’s cakes.
I have long heard that Yang Ye is famous for spreading coins in the mainland, and he is indeed well-deserved!
Director Zhong quickly said that if Yang Ye is willing to invest, he will report it to the leadership, and the city government will come forward and send a delegation to negotiate with Baiyang Films.
Yang Ye said that this matter is easy to talk about, and he will also send a professional team to contact Shanghai.
This meal was a feast for both the host and the guest, with laughter and laughter.
When the table was about to break up, Yang Ye suddenly said: "I just talked about making a movie. In fact, I have always wanted to make a... slightly autobiographical movie."
Li Chang Changdao: "Is it your personal biography?"
Yang Ye shook his head: "It's just a little bit of a reference. This story is about a young man who came out of the slums and went through many hardships to practice martial arts. story.
You also know that I come from the Kowloon Walled City where dragons and snakes are mixed. I am famous for practicing martial arts hard, traveling across Japan, and challenging Japanese martial arts masters, so this movie is slightly similar to my life experience.
Many people want to know where my kung fu comes from. Although this movie is fictional, it can provide the audience with a little bit of room for imagination. "
Director Zhong and Director Li couldn't help but feel ecstatic after hearing this.
For a long time, the origin of Yang Ye has been a mystery.
People only know that he is from He lost his father when he was young in Kowloon Walled City, but how did he survive in such a mixed place?
If Yang Ye could make a film with his autobiographical nature, even if he only revealed a little bit of information, it would be impossible for the film to become a hit.
What's more, when has Yang Ye's movie ever disappointed people?
Director Li said: "Director Yang has another new work out, which is really exciting!"
Yang Yip said: "Although I was born in Hong Kong, I still hope to be able to convey the background of the story Moving to Shanghai during the Republic of China, I hope to cooperate with the Shanghai Film Studio to shoot this movie. At that time, I will also select several actors from the Shanghai Film Studio to join the filming of this movie.”
Director Li was very happy. Baiyang Pictures had previously cooperated with Beijing Film Studio, Changying Film Studio, Xiying Film Studio, and Pearl Film Studio. This time it was finally their turn to go to a film studio.
Moreover, it is a big project that Yang Ye personally took action on. This wave is making a lot of money.
In fact, Yang Ye cooperates with mainland film studios and occupies an absolutely strong position. Mainland film studios can only get a share of domestic income, and overseas income has nothing to do with them!
Despite this, everyone is still willing to cooperate with Yang Ji. Even if they only get the profits from the mainland, it will be enough to make their mouths full.
Not to mention that Yang Ye still has to select actors to join the filming of the movie.
Yang Ye's previous film "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was a huge hit in China, making the participating actors Tang Guoqiang and He Qinghong blush.
Whenever He Qing appears now, people call her "Little White Dove", and various film offers fly towards her like snow. Some people even ask her to make movies and TV series overseas.
This time we have to select actors from Shanghai Film Studio. If it is an important role, such as the heroine... then it might be the second little white pigeon.
Director Li asked: "If Director Yang comes to Shanghai to film in person, our Shanghai Film Studio will definitely support it and provide all conveniences. As for the actors, it will be an honor for them if they can participate in this movie." ."
Yang Ye smiled slightly and raised his glass to drink, only to find that the wine in the glass was dry.
Seeing this, Chen Hong on the side quickly picked up the wine bottle and helped him fill it up. Then she raised her own glass and said in a strange way: "Director Yang, I respect you!"
Chen Hong's position was arranged next to Yang Ye. When Yang Ye was bragging, she didn't say much. She just saw that Yang Ye's wine was gone and she would pour it for him.
Although Chen Hong has been in the industry for several years, she is still an unknown role and has never received an influential work.
To her, Yang Ye’s famous name was like thunder piercing her ears and stopping the mountains high!
She was very excited to see Yang Ye suddenly today, but it was a pity that she was just a small actor. The director and factory director were here, so she had no role to speak.
It wasn't until Yang Ye said that he planned to make a movie and choose actors from Shanghai Film Studio that she instantly realized that this was her chance!
However, she was born in a red family, and she has a sense of nobility and arrogance. Being able to take the initiative to toast Yang Ye is her limit. As for some flattering words, she can't say them out.
Yang Yexin said, yes, very wise. It's not a waste of time for me to spend a long time in this nest.
He happily clinked glasses with Chen Hong and drank the wine in one gulp!
Director Zhong is very shrewd in his habit of observing words and expressions. When he saw Yang Ye finish the drink, he immediately cheered: "Director Yang has a huge amount!"
Yang Ye shook his head with a smile and said: "Actually, I'm almost done drinking. It's just that the beauty is toasting me. It's hard to refuse the hospitality, so I have to drink!"
"I think Miss Chen Hong is a very good actress. If Director Yang wants to cast actors in the mainland for this movie, why not consider it?"
Yang Ye nodded and said: "Miss Chen It’s indeed very elegant.”
After that, he looked at Chen Hong carefully due to his drunkenness.
Chen Hong was a little embarrassed by Yang Ye's burning gaze and couldn't help but lower her head slightly.
Yang Ye suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, and said: "This is really hard to find, and it takes no effort at all. Miss Chen, the more I watch, the more I feel that you and I have the temperament of the heroines in this movie It fits. I wonder if you are interested in being the heroine?”
Chen Hong was ecstatic, biting her lip and said: "If Director Yang is willing to cultivate me, I will do my best!"
"Okay, then it's settled. Let's sign a contract later, and the shooting time, You still have to wait until I finish the preparations. I will notify you in advance so that you can reserve a timetable."
Everyone here saw that Chen Hong was on board. The heroine of Yang Ye's movie raised a glass to congratulate the two of them!
“Congratulations, congratulations!”
"Thank you, thank you!"
After everyone had a drink, Chen Hong remembered something and asked: "Director Yang, can I ask, what role am I going to play? I want to prepare in advance. , do some homework!"
Yang Ye shook his head: "This character has no name, so there is no need to prepare anything!"
"There is no name, no need to prepare anything?"
"Well, the hero and heroine of this movie have no names!" (End of Chapter)
