Chapter 237: 80,000 extras? "Earthshaking·Speed Rescue" is released!
"Leaving in such a hurry? Are you still filming a movie?"
Jiang Wen originally wanted to save a meal and treat him to dinner.
But by the time he got through to Su Yi, Su Yi was already in Sichuan.
When I heard that Su Yi was going to make a movie, I was stunned.
What's going on? Why are you working so hard?
Changjin Lake has been very successful, but a movie is still going to be filmed?
As soon as he heard that there was a new movie, Zhou Yun also hurriedly came over.
Letting bullets fly last time made Zhou Yun famous.
But no new dramas have been accepted.
After all, there is no good script.
"This is not a big production, and I don't plan to make a movie that is too big. It's just a science and education film."
"Cheng, if you need any help, come to Call me anytime.”
After Jiang Wen hung up the phone, he shook his head at Zhou Yun.
“They didn’t go into details, and they shot it in such a hurry. I guess the actors have already been selected.”
Zhou Yun was a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do.
····
Sichuan and Shu, Wenzhou.
"Director Su! Welcome!"
Many units have already been notified of Su Yi's arrival this time.
This is the benefit of being within the system.
Su Yi was anxious this time and united many departments to invest.
In fact, it is not a lack of money.
But because there are so many departments, it is convenient to do anything.
The previous leader of the publicity department, Leader Sun, who was also in charge of cultural tourism, also knew about Su Yi's promotional video.
Although I didn’t know why Wenzhou was chosen, I didn’t ask any questions. I just handed in the documents and asked the local government to cooperate.
This is Su Yi's original intention. Only with the cooperation of various departments can the speed be maximized.
When we arrived at the place, people from the local Culture and Tourism Bureau had already arrived.
Although local cultural and tourism bureaus belong to the local government, they also accept the guidance and management of the General Administration.
Many departments also came, including law enforcement, cultural tourism, etc.
Even the local military district.
This is not because of Su Yi's reputation, but because Su Yi applied for it before coming here.
With his current relationship with Bayi Factory, this is all a trivial matter.
And it was promoted in a positive way, so we fully cooperated this time.
“Hello everyone! Time is urgent. So I will keep the story short.”
Su Yi's face showed serious expression.
After saying hello to everyone, we went straight to the topic.
"This filming is quite urgent. It is a documentary and requires the full cooperation of all departments. Thank you all for being here today."
Su Yi said it very sincerely, but he couldn't say it. Too many.
"Yes, we will cooperate fully. All the documents from the superior leaders have been handed down. This is a disaster movie, and we have prepared equipment, vehicles and personnel."
Su Yi is dusty this time.
Most of the actors in the crew are also talented.
The three Kuangbiao girls also came here this time.
Su Yi knew that this movie script was considered original.
And there are no twists and turns in the story, just using the most realistic shooting techniques!
This time Su Yi obtained an investment of more than 100 million.
It’s already a big production!
No need to be mysterious, it just gives you the most intuitive feeling.
“This time, we all learn the local dialect! Use the fastest time!”
Except for the three Kuang Kuang girls, who are considered idols, the rest of the actors in the crew are all capable.
Zhang Guoqiang, Huang Bo, Zhang Yi and others.
There are also some old actors.
"Also...these are scripts. Time is running out, everyone, hurry up!"
Su Yi is usually gentle, although there will be no second voice when he is on the set Most of them were following Su Yi's command.
But occasionally Su Yi would give in.
For example, when filming Parasite, when Liu Yifei was in the sewage, he filmed it several times, but he was still a little dissatisfied.
Su Yi didn't stop him, because Jiang Wen didn't do it intentionally.
It’s all for the sake of art, and it was the same when shooting Let the Bullets Fly.
"Okay, there are only ten days for everyone to adapt! - Only ten days! If you don't perform well this time, it will be difficult to have opportunities to cooperate in the future!"
Yang Mi almost fell down when he heard this.
She began to feel uneasy in her heart. Didn't she say this to herself?
The same is true for Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei. They are not known for their acting skills. Although they are slightly famous, it is because they have participated in many CCTV high-quality programs that Liu Shishi is now very popular with the audience. , because he participated in the Children's Channel's Dancing Dragon Kingdom and a dance program on the International Channel.
Although he will not give up his acting career, Liu Shishi is not ready to join some TV drama crews until he graduates.
They all want to take the movie route.
This also makes the original classic fairy sword somewhat compromised.
However, there is no shortage of actors in the Dragon Kingdom, and there are already other actors playing the roles.
But to be honest, I have gained a group of slightly younger fans.
If we follow the development of the original world, this may still be a good path, taking the idol route and the traffic route.
But after the sky-high performance fees were cut off, the road to becoming a traffic star will not appear in the future, but it will at least appear many years later.
So they all chose completely different paths.
The same is true for Yang Mi. After seeing the Xinhonglou and Lao Liu incidents, he didn't say he would quit the entertainment industry, but at least he was no longer so blind and a little more cautious.
After all, there are still many things that she can't resist. If that's the case, it's better to practice her acting skills honestly and have the opportunity to shine in Su Yi's movies and increase her reputation.
When Su Yi called this time, Yang Mi didn't hesitate at all.
I even turned down a crew member and came directly.
"You three, too, read the script familiarly. We are racing against time! If you can perform well this time, your future road will be much smoother."
Su Yi gave instructions.
Other actors, especially those who have worked with Su Yi, all know that Su Yi's character cannot be so urgent at normal times.
Even when I was filming Changjin Lake abroad, because I was abroad and there was obviously a time limit, I never saw Su Yi being so nervous.
There must be serious tasks these days. Even political tasks!
Thinking of this, the actors began to feel nervous.
"I'm starting to record some scenes now. Time is tight this time, so we're focusing on the special effects!"
Su Yi directly found someone from Warner.
There is no doubt that the top technology is still abroad.
There is nothing we can do about it. Who made Dragon Kingdom start too late?
These foreigners are also very proud, especially when facing some directors from the Dragon Kingdom.
But when facing Su Yi, he was still convinced, as if looking at a famous Hollywood director.
It’s not Su Yi’s fame, but Su Yi’s strength!
Parasite and twelve years as a slave both made Su Yi famous.
Although the influence of Changjin Lake in the world is not too strong and it has not been released after all, these two works are enough.
So when they followed Su Yi here after a long journey, they had no complaints.
On the contrary, there is some expectation.
Because there are rumors in Hollywood that Su Yi's two movies have won Oscars, and his future achievements will be brilliant.
So when facing Su Yi, they were extremely polite.
Because we still need to cooperate in the future.
The project of "Batman: The Dark Knight" has also been approved, and the casting has even been completed. We are just waiting for Su Yi's time.
Faced with Su Yi's request, they sent a photographer directly without saying anything.
Joke, who would offend a billion-dollar box office director?
Even in the eyes of many foreign people, there is an "astonishing" and "unspeakable" power behind the movie 12 Years a Slave.
Otherwise it will trigger demonstrations and riots?
"No problem, Director Su Yi! We got the order before we came."
Several photographers looked serious and had already started debugging the machines.
······
Cultural and tourism department.
Leader Sun looked at the document in his hand and was shocked.
What is this Su Yi going to do?
It is an application document.
In order to simulate earthquake scenes, it is planned to blast some old residential buildings.
The price has been negotiated with local residents.
Leader Sun was shocked and speechless. He didn't understand movies.
But I also know that real shooting is far more shocking than the special effects.
But this dynamic and static plane is too big!
I asked you to shoot a movie, but you went to demolish it?
“You don’t need to report this to me, right?”
Leader Sun felt a little helpless.
Is this to support yourself? What Director Su Yi is going to do, do you still want me to wipe your butt?
"After all, the local cultural and tourism bureau also needs to negotiate and follow up. So I submitted the report. In fact, the Environmental Protection Bureau also received the application."
For blasting and some burning, applications must be made.
When Spielberg was filming a movie in Shanghai, he polluted the environment and was fined 50,000 yuan - after all, it was 1987, which was not a small amount of money.
“This brat will be in trouble for anyone who touches him!”
Leader Sun was a little helpless.
But I finally signed it.
Don’t cause trouble! Otherwise, he might become the second ‘Old Liu’.
But I heard that this time it was shot jointly by many departments.
Although they did not contribute any money, they were very supportive.
····
Also in trouble are law enforcement leaders.
He also looked at the application and hesitated.
Why photograph Wenzhou?
Many people have never heard of this small place.
Why should Su Yi go?
Nowadays, even to shoot a movie, everyone needs to participate!
Although this place has a small population, just over 80,000 people.
But it’s also a town!
In order to shoot a movie, all the staff are involved?
This matter even became a popular search on the blog!
"Su Yi is filming a movie in a certain place, and everyone is expected to participate! Is this because of his wealth? Or is it to attract people's attention?"
"A county is put on hold for a movie?"
Such news headlines attracted countless people to watch.
Because Changjin Lake has just been released, many people are still looking forward to Su Yi's new work.
The movie market has been opened!
The movie box office of 2.4 billion allowed everyone to see the potential of the Dragon Kingdom market.
This is also a matter of pride for a person from the Dragon Kingdom.
At that time, China Film Group applied to the General Administration to repost the real-time box office records to the Internet.
Although civilian networks are still not that fast, enterprise-level ones already allow real-time display.
At that time, many people were refreshing the box office data, and many movie fans and movie lovers were very excited.
I was very excited when I saw that the box office reached 2.4 billion.
Just after this, countless film projects began.
Even Huayi Brothers, who have been losing money, also applied for film project approval!
If you don’t seize this opportunity, you’d be a fool!
Even though Tang Dynasty has always been famous for its TV series, this time it wants to make a movie about Legend of Sword and Fairy.
So during this period, except for a few popular programs, most people are discussing movies.
After all, it was only in 2007 that I saw 3D movies.
This feeling is just like in 2005, when many people saw Douyin on their mobile phones.
The novelty is overwhelming, and there are many people discussing it.
But this time, Su Yi made it a little too big. "The previous 6 programs were all recorded by the Directors Guild, without any editing. Director Xie Jin once said that Hollywood movies shocked the Dragon Kingdom at that time. Unexpectedly, they used tens of thousands of extras to perform. Su Yi Just create an extravaganza of 80,000 people?”
The law enforcement leaders shook their heads helplessly. Even if they want to catch up... there is no need to make a fuss about the number of people, right?
He didn't know what Su Yi was thinking.
"If local residents are willing, I have no instructions here. As long as the local government agrees!"
Originally, their law enforcement department is to guide the work of local law enforcement bureaus, not to give direct orders. It’s like the Propaganda Department to the General Administration of Culture and Entertainment.
"Yes, leader!"
····
Wenzhou.
Su Yi looked at the map and frowned.
Following next to us are staff from the Seismological Bureau.
"The terrain here is different from that of Tangshan. If an earthquake really occurs, it will not be a point, but a line. Even if the epicenter is in Wenzhou, it should be more serious on both sides."
For' Shoot 'em well.
Comrades from the Earthquake Bureau were also invited to share their professional knowledge.
Making a good movie cannot rely solely on the plot.
The most basic knowledge cannot be wrong, otherwise there will be no sense of immersion.
Under Su Yi's "intentional" invitation, people from the Seismological Bureau participated in the entire process.
By the way, Su Yi has also gained some knowledge.
“Our terrain in Sichuan and Sichuan is prone to some vibrations when the Indian plate and the sub-plate collide. We are also monitoring it all the time, but earthquakes are a problem faced by the whole world, and it is difficult for us to do so. to accurately predict.”
Su Yi asked the screenwriter on the side to record it.
These are all to be put in the movie.
Originally, Su Yi's original intention was to film "Tangshan Earthquake".
Not only is time not allowed, but the emergency 'braking' effect cannot be achieved.
In a hurry, I had no choice but to come directly to Wenzhou.
He didn’t know enough about the natural disaster in his previous life.
After all, no one knows some terms for earthquakes.
Who knows whether the earthquake is a thrust, right-lateral, or compression fault earthquake?
Su Yi asked the actors to learn the dialects of various places.
The camera began to shoot special effects under the command of a professional executive director.
He himself is not idle either.
This time it’s not just about filming a movie, it’s also about saving people!
Although Su Yi knew about the past life, he didn't understand it deeply.
So I kept asking.
Although the people from the Earthquake Bureau were a little puzzled, they still told some professional things.
"If the Wenzhou city center were to follow the earthquake scale of Tangshan, the cities on these two lines would be very dangerous."
The people from the Earthquake Bureau were also sweating profusely.
Because he knew that this was more stressful than the leader's question.
After all, we are going to the cinema this time!
If something is wrong, many people may still question it.
So this is not a good job.
“I got it.”
Su Yi thought for a while and marked it on the map.
That's true. At the beginning, because the earthquake came too fast.
All communications, water, and electricity are paralyzed!
People outside have no way to understand the situation inside in time.
A city was paralyzed within tens of seconds, as if it had disappeared!
This kind of thing is simply terrifying!
The script was revised again.
This extreme shooting is not only a test for the actors, but also for the director and screenwriter.
The script was revised again, deleted, revised.
The screenwriter was going crazy, and in less than ten days, his hair turned a little gray.
Su Yi was the same, his eyes were red.
This situation is a bit like when filming 12 Years a Slave.
"Director Su Yi, are we so pressed for time? Are we too expensive?"
The photographers and technicians from Warner asked helplessly.
People from the Dragon Kingdom are also too curly.
If it were in their country, they would probably sue Su Yi.
Su Yi shook his head and did not explain much.
"The movie is about to officially start shooting!"
Time: January 10th.
Su Yi took a deep breath.
Racing against death is a very difficult thing!
·····
Huayi Brothers.
"What, is Su Yi crazy? He wants to shoot 3D movies? What's going on? Will he dominate the world in the future?"
Feng Xiaogang was stunned.
This is so productive!
In fact, for a famous director, one movie a year is very productive.
Some even one movie every two years is normal.
But Su Yi is like a perpetual motion machine.
It has been cheating since the end of 2006! They couldn't breathe at all.
Changjin Lake opened up the market, but they did not give up. Huayi Brothers continued to invest in preparing to film war dramas.
Unexpectedly, Su Yi also has a new project!
And it made such a big noise right away!
People from the same town cooperated in the shooting!
80,000 extras!
Moreover, when the Directors Association ‘gathered’ before, it was broadcast by the movie channel.
Feng Xiaogang was also there at that time.
This kind of thing is impossible not to happen in the Beijing circle.
Director Xie Jin’s words also touched Feng Xiaogang.
When he was filming "Capital Man in New York", he went abroad to film.
That year, Zheng Xiaolong was still the eldest brother.
He Feng Xiaogang is still a follower who has just started.
Jiang Wen even starred in his first TV series.
It was originally a TV series that revealed that the so-called Star and Flag National Dream was all a bubble.
The reality is even more cruel. Their crew seemed to be engaged in guerrilla warfare because the place was unfamiliar and the traffic fine alone was more than 8,000 US dollars!
$8,000 for that era.
The distressed Feng Xiaogang couldn't sleep.
So even if Feng Xiaogang doesn't deal with Su Yi, he still doesn't want to see the aura around Su Yi.
But I was also moved by Xie Jin’s words.
It was really difficult at that time, especially when faced with some big foreign productions. Many directors even felt a little desperate and did not dare to think about it at all.
Moreover, Xie Jin’s words actually have profound meaning.
Su Yi didn't say it himself, but Warner has already started to promote it.
It is even widely publicized at home and abroad.
“The new Batman is played in IMAXA·3D mode, and there is also a 2D version!”
Every director knows that.
The movie Spielberg shot in Shanghai that year was "Empire of the Sun."
The protagonist is a little boy named: Christian Bale!
Yes, he is the actor who plays Batman!
This time Warner Bros. and Su Yi collaborated on "Batman: The Dark Knight."
He is still the starring role!
Filmed in the Star-Flag Country, the starring role is still the same.
Although the movie types are different, many people think that this is Su Yi's "declaration of war" with Spielberg.
More people think that Su Yi is overestimating his abilities, but some people think it is just a coincidence.
But in Feng Xiaogang's view, no matter what the opportunity was, Su Yi was overestimating his abilities.
The most important thing is his chance!
This kind of movie can be filmed in less than two years?
They solved it quickly and it only took one year.
Unexpectedly, Su Yi once again initiated a project in China after being exposed.
It’s actually a disaster movie!
“The news is definitely correct. All his ‘royal’ actors have gone.”
Wang Zhongjun's face didn't look good either.
Before, I was not convinced by Su Yi, but now I am afraid of Su Yi!
If you can’t afford to offend, we can afford to hide!
I didn’t expect that the other party was simply a ‘haunting ghost’.
Parasite is a 2005 movie.
Let the Bullets Fly killed Zhang Yimou's box office.
Changjin Lake broke the box office record and even greatly damaged Huayi's vitality
Are you coming now?
"It shouldn't be aimed at us. Although Su Yi said he didn't want to deal with us, he didn't take us seriously!"
Wang Zhongjun coughed and told the truth. .
This is not a shame, people are going to 'declare war' with Spielberg, so what do they think?
No matter how arrogant the new generation of Beijing directors are, they still have to lower their heads when facing Su Yi.
President of the Film Association in his 20s.
Feng Xiaogang didn’t dare to think about it before he became the president.
But he does have the ability to challenge famous Hollywood directors.
"Don't think too much! I'm going to talk to China Film and Television Han Sanping. Our war movie must be staggered with Su Yi's project!"
Wang Zhongjun stood up decisively and was actually leaving now!
····
Su Yi’s blog.
“It’s already April! Director Su Yi is not productive enough!”
"This year's Capital Spring Festival Gala was okay, but it still lacked a bit of excitement - just because you were filming a movie!"
"The 3D cinema hall has been expanded a lot, hurry up and release it!"
< br>"Yes! I had no money last year, but this year I graduated! I can afford it!"
Su Yi has not updated his blog for a long time, and all the following are comments.
Many people seem to regard Su Yi's blog as a forum for chatting.
Although many functions are not available, it has become a habit.
They discuss current news, movies, domestic and international events, TV programs, etc. in their respective sections.
It’s already April 25th.
"It stands to reason that the filming should be completed. Didn't you mention it before? It's just a short film?"
"What short film! It's a charity film, but it's not as long as Changjin Lake. It seems like An hour? But it’s exciting to watch a 3D movie!”
Many netizens chat daily.
But at this moment, Su Yi’s blog was updated!
A picture.
There are firefighters, law enforcement officers, and doctors on it.
The picture looks like the same picture, but there is a huge crack in the middle.
It's like a broken photo.
“Wow! Goddess Shi Shi? I haven’t seen her work for a long time!”
“The Three Crazy Girls have filmed a work again!”
“ Wow! There are also old faces from Changjin Lake...if you don’t look carefully, you won’t recognize them!”
Under the picture, there is the name of the movie.
"Earthshaking·Speed Rescue"!
The wait is finally here!
Not only the audience, but also the leaders of various departments breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Su Yi also sent text messages to the leaders of various departments.
“To fulfill our mission, the ‘promotional video’ you wanted is here!”
