Chapter 64 The White Dragon Horse Incident
At the beginning of August, the group set off to the filming location for re-survey.
The bay is beautiful, the beach is soft and delicate, and you can walk to a small fishing village for half an hour. The only drawback is that it is far away from the city.
Walking around, Zhang Chen and others were very satisfied with this location. It was tailor-made for "Shark Beach".
Hire local fishermen and take them on a boat for a spin in the sea.
"The reef group is there~"
The assistant director pointed to a reef in the distance and said. Zhang Chen originally thought that the reef was not that suitable, and he would most likely need to set it up by himself. Unexpectedly, there was a ready-made one, and it basically met the requirements.
"Very good, hurry up and complete the relevant procedures. In addition, notify the crew to come over."
Fan Binbin will not join the crew until October, but they can come in advance and have many preparations. There is work to be done.
Not all the scenes in the sea were shot in the sea. Some close-up scenes need to be shot in the water tank, which is easier to operate and safer.
A few days later, the rest of the crew arrived late, and it was very troublesome to check in the equipment.
After getting off the plane, they had to rent a car.
The crew settled down in a small fishing village, and handed over the food and accommodation to this small fishing village. They can save a lot of trouble, and the fishermen can also earn more.
Some things that are difficult to transport, such as whale models and sea buoys, were purchased after arriving in Sanya. Zhang Chen does not need to worry about these things this time, Chen Xi has taken care of them all.
This girl is indeed a producer. In just a short time, she has already taken care of everything in order.
Although this is due to the small crew of "Shark Beach", it also has something to do with her own ability.
A few days later, the whale model and water tank were in place.
When the time comes, sand, rocks, aquatic plants, etc. will be arranged in the water tank. It will not be visible at all under the camera, and it will almost look real.
Everyone is carrying out various tasks before the filming of the movie in an orderly manner, while Zhang Chen further refines the sub-shots. With the reference of real scenes, many sub-shots can be implemented.
Just a few days later, a phone call broke the tranquility of the small fishing village.
"Zhang Chen, are the crew ready?"
The caller was Fan Binbin.
“Everything is ready, just waiting for you to join the group next month.”
“No need to wait for next month, I will go there tomorrow.”
“Huh? Have you finished filming your scenes in "Little Fish and Flowers"?"
"Don't mention it, our crew has stopped working, so I have plenty of schedule now."
Fan Binbin's words were filled with resentment.
"Work has stopped? What happened?"
"I can't say too specific. I signed a confidentiality agreement. Anyway, it's quite disgusting~"
How to reply thing?
Still signing a confidentiality agreement?
It can’t be...
Zhang Chen thought of something.
They have been staying in the small fishing village every day for a while, cutting off contact with the outside world. They don't know that the outside world has already been noisy.
After making a few phone calls, I finally found out what was going on.
Just a few days ago, two leading actors from the cast of "Little Fish and Flowers" took the opportunity of filming to beat up Wang Bozhao, who played Jiang Biehe.
The protagonist fights the villain, which is fine in itself, but the attack is too heavy.
Moreover, this scene was added temporarily and has nothing to do with the plot. Instead, it seems to have been added specifically for a certain purpose.
Because Wang Bozhao played the White Dragon Horse in the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", this incident was also called the "Little Yu'er and Hua Wuque violently beating the White Dragon Horse incident" in history.
Made, listen to this name. If it weren't for the huge impact of this incident, Zhang Chen would have thought it was a hype by the crew of "Little Fish and Flowers".
But it turned out that it was really not a hype. The two Hong Kong people really beat the white dragon horse. It seemed to be quite serious. It is said that they urinated blood.
There are different opinions on the reason for the beating. The crew announced that it was because Wang Bozhao transferred the makeup artist of the drama team, and the two leading actors could not watch it, so the conflict occurred.
But Wang Bozhao’s statement is completely different. Then, Bai Longma called the police and sued Zhang and Xie for beating him.
The crew felt that Wang Bozhao was causing trouble and wanted him to shut up, but Wang Bozhao was very stubborn and disagreed.
Things are getting serious. This film is a co-production. The project leader is Wang Jing, so he definitely supports the people of Hong Kong.
During the interview, Wang Jing teased Wang Bozhao overtly and covertly for his "insufficient defensive skills". He even slapped himself six times in front of the media, and then said that "it didn't hurt at all."
Please, Wang Bozhao played a dead person, and he was padded with something in advance, but he couldn't stop those two guys from just saying hello to his face.
This is so bullying.
Then the Beijing circle couldn’t stand it anymore, so you Hong Kong people came to the mainland to film movies and the treatment of Tianlong people was ignored.
Now you're so arrogant after beating someone up?
Big bosses in the Beijing circle jointly issued a statement: "In the past few days, we have successively learned from newspapers and online media that actors Zhang Weijian and Xie Tingfeng were injured during the filming of the TV series "Little Fish and Flowers". As colleagues in the entertainment industry, we are strongly concerned about the incident involving actor Wang Bozhao and call on all co-production crews to treat mainland actors equally.”
The statement is serious and the meaning is clear: we support Wang Bozhao and at the same time. Take a stand and those who hurt others must apologize.
And it directly raised the level of the matter to the emotional antagonism between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
This kind of chaos in co-productions is no longer a day or two. You people in Xiangjiang are acting arrogantly. Today there is one Wang Bozhao, and tomorrow there will be countless Wang Bozhao.
There is a long list of signatures: Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Guoli, Chen Daoming, Li Xuejian, Liu Xiaolingtong, Yang Jie, Zhang Kaili, Chen Baoguo, Liang Tian, Xu Fan, Xia Gang, Ge You...
A total of four. Twelve of them, including actors, directors and producers, almost all are the backbone of the Beijing circle.
This is considered the first confrontation between the Beijing and Hong Kong circles, and is also regarded as the beginning of the rise of the mainland entertainment industry.
When it first happened, no one took it seriously.
This kind of thing is so normal. The Hong Kong Island staff in co-productions have always been superior to others. Not only the Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, but also the staff dared to show off to the mainland.
Xie Biwang and Zhang Weijian may also think that if they fight, they will fight. No matter what, you can still go to heaven.
But Wang Bozhao is not a simple character. The 1986 version of "Journey to the West" is a national drama, and the white dragon horse is a small character.
Call the police, sue, and then things get heated. A lot of people on the Internet support Bai Longma.
At this time, Xie and Zhang didn't take it seriously. When reporters came to interview, they were still tough, saying that it was normal filming and mistakes were inevitable.
And refused to apologize.
Then the Beijing Circle issued a statement.
This is a big deal.
The Beijing circle is very energetic at this time, and it can largely represent the mainland entertainment circle.
In addition, the world has been suffering from Qin for a long time, and they are rising up one after another!
Uncle JC intervened, and Zhang and Xie were taken away, but no results were given because it was filming and there was no way to determine whether it was intentional.
But the court finally gave the result and sentenced Zhang and Xie to serious negligence!
The matter is settled.
As long as it is not irrefutable, this result will not be possible given the forces behind Zhang Xie.
Then, Zhang Weijian was banned.
This matter is so big that the whole Beijing community is boycotting it, so a scapegoat is definitely needed.
Xie Biwang is still carrying "The Promise" on his back. Behind "The Promise" is China Film. "The Promise" is China Film's most important project in 2005, and nothing can happen to it no matter what.
That can only be Zhang Weijian.
Zhang Chen really has no sympathy for this person at all.
In his last life, he watched a program in which Zhang Weijian emotionally talked about how miserable he was at TVB and how he couldn’t even eat. Later, a man showed up to help him, lent him money, and introduced him to jobs. , become his light.
That person is King Liu.
Zhang Chen just wanted to say that he deserved it, King Liu Tian was also nosy.
Zhang Weijian can be said to have personally demonstrated that poor people must be hateful, and they will not die unless they seek death.
Before this incident, he was a front-line TV series in the mainland, and the ratings of TV series starring Zhang Weijian skyrocketed.
After this incident, this person was no longer found.
No one dared to ask him to act again. Even if he came back a few years later, his popularity was not as good as before. The ratings of "Plan A", "Ten Strange Injustices", and "Once Upon a Time in the Benevolent Man" were not satisfactory, and his career He entered the trough again, and disappeared from the film and television industry after 2008, and could only make money as a singer.
Please give me a monthly pass~
