Chapter 275: Rigorous casting and massive movie shooting! A birthday cake for the motherland!
Jiang Wen seemed to find Su Yi's casting very funny.
I was so happy that I started coughing even as I smoked.
Zhou Yun on the side also burst out laughing, seeming to be picturing Feng Xiaogang's image.
“I’m here today to tell you about this movie. Everyone has read the script of this movie. We are still in the honeymoon period with Warner Bros., so I still plan to use 3D for the entire film. "
Basically the actors have been cast, and most of the actors' roles are similar to their previous lives.
The only difference is that Han Sanping became a producer, not a director.
Huang Jianxin also became the executive director.
Su Yi is the only director!
Now even if Chen Kaige is asked to be the executive director for Su Yi, he is probably willing to do so. After all, after having the terrifying number one box office in the world, it will not only shock the Dragon Kingdom film industry, but also foreign countries. There is a lively discussion now.
Especially after the press conference and celebration party that day.
Media from the Bangzi Kingdom: "The films of the Dragon Kingdom are rising rapidly, just like the Dragon Kingdom's army rose rapidly after World War II. Although the registration and distribution place of this film is still in the Star Flag Country, There is no doubt that this is the talent of director Long Guo! Our country’s film industry is controlled by chaebols, and there is no way to make such a movie!”
Xiaozi Media: “Despite our national hatred, But this time I have to admit that this movie is very exciting. Director Su Yi directly made the character of the clown a god! He also said in the interview that he will vigorously develop Dragon Kingdom’s own superhero series. People are looking forward to it! The cultural heritage is very profound, and it is more in line with Asian aesthetics."
A Sanguo: "A Sanguo will also have its own superhero movie! And it will soon surpass the box office of Dragon Kingdom! Hollywood’s Bollywood!”
Star Flag Country: “Perhaps the era of Dragon Kingdom movies is coming, I don’t know if it will be a flash in the pan or the beginning of a take-off! However, he rejected many invitations from film companies and joined forces with Dragon Kingdom. They cooperated with domestic film companies to develop their own country’s films, which was beyond everyone’s expectations, and they even threatened to no longer care about world-famous awards.”
The film industry in countless countries was shocked.
People have been speculating on Su Yi's next development. Many people feel that Su Yi has received so much attention and achievements, and he will definitely continue to work hard and secure his position in Hollywood.
In order to show that it is open to all rivers, Hollywood will also accept Su Yi, and will even be sought after by Hollywood capital.
After all, Su Yi is now the guarantee of box office, but Su Yi's speech made them a little wary.
Originally, in this movie, the role of the clown was more popular than the starring role. If it hadn't been for this, many people would not have known who the director Su Yi was.
Even the entire movie is a bit overshadowed by the clown's brilliance.
But after what happened today, the reputation of Su Yi, the director of Dragon Kingdom, has completely surpassed Ang Lee, James Wan and others, becoming the number one Chinese director!
Although there are fewer world-class movies, the total box office has reached the top ten box office directors in the world!
The first one on the list is Spielberg with $10.1 billion. After all, this is a veteran director with strong strength.
With such a big reputation, Chen Kaige shamelessly participated in the show.
After all, a director cannot manage everything, and Huang Jianxin will also participate in the filming.
"Director Su Yi, you have accomplished something I never dreamed of doing."
Zhou Xingchi walked over and then took the initiative to extend his hand. He already had white hair.
Many people called him Xingzi before, but later he quietly became Xingye.
Although this is a person who has quite a few criticisms, and the style of the movie is even more controversial, it has brought joy to many people after all.
Especially those born in the 80s and 90s, many people have watched his movies many times.
Su Yi was no stranger to him either. Looking at this man with white hair, he naturally couldn't call him Master Xing.
After all, he has a status within the system. Even though he is young, he is at least on equal terms with the directors.
And Su Yi is also the president of the Mainland Directors Association.
"Director Zhou, thank you for your hard work coming here. I heard that you are also preparing to shoot a new movie?"
In fact, the filming has been completed, and even the post-production has been completed.
Originally it was supposed to be on the Lunar New Year schedule, but it was put off again and again just to avoid movies directed by Su Yi.
Although Su Yi has not filmed any movies recently, the titled "Nezha: The Devil Boy Arrives" will be released soon.
“It’s a small thing, but it can’t be compared with Director Su’s movie”
Stephen Chow was very excited, because in his previous life, he would have never been able to participate in this movie. .
The reason given by Han Sanping is that this is a serious historical and political film and a documentary film of the most critical period in the modern history of the Dragon Kingdom.
Most of Stephen Chow's movies are funny. Even tragedies have funny elements.
I was afraid that Zhou Xingchi would laugh when he came out, so it was useless.
It was still the same this time. At first, Han Sanping felt that he was not suitable and rejected Zhou Xingchi.
The last celebration party held by China Film Group for Su Yi, Zhou Xingchi was also present, although due to time constraints, he didn't say much.
But Stephen Chow is very sincere and has been waiting for opportunities, even giving up some promotions for his movies.
I even went to the door of Su Yi's house to wait in person, but was blocked by the third uncle.
Stephen Chow is not very popular in Hong Kong. There are very few actors who have worked with him who have not fallen out with each other, or they are not familiar with each other.
At the last celebration banquet, there were more actors from mainland China standing next to Stephen Chow.
But he is still a little obsessed with movies.
Su Yi didn't expect him to be so sincere. He also liked watching his movies before, so he agreed.
It makes up for the regrets of the previous life.
Feng Xiaogang on the side was a little unhappy when he saw Zhou Xingchi, but he didn't say much and just coughed.
The 'grievance' between the two people is the mutual guest appearance in "Kung Fu" and "A World Without Thieves". It was originally a verbal agreement.
But Feng Xiaogang took it seriously. He was the classic gangster boss from the beginning, but Zhou Xingchi rejected almost all of Feng Xiaogang's guest appearance invitations.
When they met again, the two were slightly embarrassed.
"Yangtze River No. 7 is a good movie. I also participated in the review. It is very good."
Su Yi said a few polite words.
Feng Xiaogang looked at his role, opposite Chiang Ching-kuo played by Chen Kun.
The scene is very short, and the appearance fee is just a lunch box.
That’s it for ‘working’ for the government.
After all, it was a propaganda film produced by the above-mentioned policies, and Su Yi obeyed unconditionally.
"Everyone, please take a look at your own roles first, and get familiar with your roles first. Even if today is an audition, there are famous actors and well-known directors here, many of them are seniors, but it's like Xu Sanduo in Soldier Assault going to the old A The training is the same, no matter what your previous achievements are, when filming a movie, you are all newcomers.”
Su Yi’s ‘ambition’ is very big.
This birthday gift for the 60th anniversary of the motherland can be regarded as his original creation.
Continue to empty the pockets of movie fans!
We must also let the leaders above know the power of publicity!
This time it is supported by almost all film studios.
China Film is responsible for contact review and fund preparation. The producer is Han Sanping of China Film.
The Bayi Factory is responsible for contacting the military and restoring the true history to the greatest extent.
Equipment, military uniforms, and all events that occur will be discussed by a dedicated group of screenwriters and scholars.
And for this shooting, there was basically no studio.
Establish special film and television bases in various places!
For example, for the locations of the three major battles, suitable places will be chosen to establish film and television bases!
Changying, Xiying, Shangying, Emeiying, Xiaoxiangying, etc. have now begun to assign their own shooting tasks and start building!
This is not extravagance.
These will serve as tourist attractions in a city.
For example, many people are still interested in the Parasite film and television base that was previously filmed in China, especially the ‘slum house’ where Liu Yifei filmed countless scenes. The tickets are still very expensive!
The entire film and television city has also been built into a "Bangzi Country" street based on reality, where rice cakes, kimchi and the like are also sold.
Nowadays, the mainstream is to promote culture and tourism, and this shooting will also have a strong local style.
Not only does it promote tourism, if some film crews are interested, they will rent it for filming movies!
If you want to become a big film country in the future, a film and television base is a must.
Professional 3D, special effects shooting, post-production team, and various huge film and television bases!
If we don’t say that Su Yi’s ‘ambition’ is very big this time, creating a superhero movie will not happen overnight.
This great cause of nation-building will be the beginning of everything!
Su Yi is also very serious and caring, which can be seen from this casting.
Investment is also increasing, from 300 million to 500 million. It is estimated that with the establishment of film and television cities in various places, more money will be invested.
Su Yi clapped his hands and the scene became quiet.
Han Sanping had already explained Su Yi's plan when he came here before.
These famous directors and actors were shocked at that time. They originally thought it was a political mission, and they could just rely on the popularity of the stars to attract box office.
I didn’t expect there were so many things in it.
Suddenly they were under great pressure.
Su Yi’s move must be extraordinary!
“I’m impatient, I’ll go first.”
Jiang Wen stood up. He felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing. He was the person who liked to break the rules the most, but he didn’t dare to do it this time. Not showing off at all, but being very observant.
This is no longer the young man who just debuted back then.
"My role is Mao Renfeng, for this role I..."
Jiang Wen was even a little nervous.
His ‘mentor’ is Xie Jin. When he was filming Furong Town, he respected Xie Jin very much.
However, Xie Jin went abroad this time to follow the filming of Batman: The Dark Knight - to be precise, he was studying.
Why do they feel so senior?
Jiang Wen coughed and tried hard to calm down his emotions, because he knew that nervousness would affect the performance.
"Report to the Chairman——" As soon as he started, Su Yi waved his hand.
Han Sanping on the side was moved in his heart.
This is just the beginning!
“The mood is wrong, and the military posture is also wrong.”
Jiang Wen was stunned, have I just started? Even the line is a title.
“I looked through historical records and some secret files. You didn’t know the extenuating circumstances this time. It was your first performance, but with your performance experience, you won’t make such a mistake next time. .”
When Su Yi is filming a movie, the crew must be on the same page.
No matter who the assistant director is, there can be no objection. It is regarded as Su Yi's 'personal style'.
Yang Mi once complained about this when she was on a Capital TV variety show.
When Su Yi was not famous at the beginning, he was still a newcomer filming his first TV work. He had a quarrel with Director Luo, the producer of CCTV, and insisted that Director Luo not interfere. Own shooting.
This matter was revealed only after asking in advance.
The first and only time Su Yi was persuaded by Jiang Wen was the scene shot by Liu Yifei in Dirty.
It was also Su Yi who had a personal 'filter' and didn't insist on perfection.
Later on Changjin Lake, most of the scenes were shot in real locations in neighboring countries.
Su Yi politely refused even some suggestions from the strongest post-80s generation.
Facing the possible 'life danger', Su Yi still persisted, let alone now.
But he didn’t want to use Jiang Wen to establish his authority alone. After all, the personal relationship was still good.
"Director Jiang Wen, you didn't know the character of Mao Renfeng before, so this is a normal thing. This time it is a big investment and a big cost. I know many people think that this movie has a strong patriotic color. , the performance at the box office should not be very good. It is because of Chairman Han’s relationship that I came to star for free. But I, Su Yi, will not make any accommodations in my works.”
Even if you see it. Even Jiang Wen, who was close to him, was criticized, and the mentality of others also changed.
"Director Feng, you can try the role played by you, Du Yuesheng."
Feng Xiaogang was a little panicked when he saw Jiang Wendu's treatment.
Don’t talk about him, Chen Kaige even wants to leave.
These former Beijing circle bosses are a bit afraid of losing face.
It’s really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi!
Chen Kaige's eyes were a bit strange. Xiao Lu probably respected him more than his biological father.
There are not even a few people like this.
As for Xiao Lu’s classmates, they are now frightening even those who are decades older than me!
It seems like they were not so nervous when they were interviewing directors for the Olympic Games!
Feng Xiaogang walked onto the stage and didn’t say much.
Which station is there? Before I can speak, I am thinking about my lines.
Su Yi clapped his hands.
Suddenly a woman walked up from the background.
Feng Xiaogang was a little confused, but with Jiang Wen's example, he didn't ask any more questions.
Jiang Wen, who came down just now, looked a little embarrassed, but he was not too angry in his heart. After all, Su Yi still saved him face.
On the contrary, seeing Feng Xiaogang's confused look, he laughed unceremoniously.
Zhou Yun on the side was relieved when she saw that he didn't get angry - that's Su Yi! If it had been anyone else, Jiang Wen would have turned against him long ago.
The woman who came out was quite young, but her clothes were still fashionable.
As soon as she came on stage, she looked at Feng Xiaogang without blinking.
The scene became quiet, and no one knew what Su Yi meant.
Even Feng Xiaogang himself has gone through great storms and is a bit hairy.
What does this mean?
The scene became quiet, and Feng Xiaogang didn't know whether he should continue to perform.
But he saw that the woman in front of him had red eyes.
There is also nostalgia in my eyes.
“It’s so similar.”
The scene became quiet. Many big names came this time, including Cheng Long, Jet Li, etc., and they were all curious.
Curious about the woman’s identity and Su Yi’s intentions.
"Dad"
After saying this once, Xu Fan, who accompanied Feng Xiaogang, stood up immediately and immediately fell out.
“Feng Xiaogang——What are you doing?”
Jiang Wen was secretly amused.
But this woman looks older than Feng Xiaogang, so she cannot be his daughter.
Feng Xiaogang frowned and looked at Su Yi.
Even if you want to take revenge on yourself and Huayi Brothers, should you choose someone younger?
What is this?
This woman is older than myself.
"Let me introduce you to my identity. This is Ms. Du Meiru, who is also a stylist who filmed the scenes in Magic City. She has lived in Magic City for many years, and she was still in that era. And her father is more It’s Du Yuesheng, the former leader of the Green Gang in the Magic City!”
The audience was in an uproar.
Du Yuesheng’s daughter?
“Hello everyone, my name is Du Meiru, director Feng Xiaogang. I really look like my deceased father. It reminded me of a lot of things just now, which made me a little bit out of control. I apologize to everyone. This is what my father once did. Photo.”
There were staff members behind and took out the photo.
After seeing the huge photo, Feng Xiaogang himself was stunned.
Although some places are different, the overall temperament and facial features are still very similar.
But more people are shocked by Su Yi's attitude towards the movie.
Even Han Sanping is like this.
No wonder he was successful and received such high box office.
Nothing is missed!
Just this casting of Feng Xiaogang can even be used as a wave of publicity!
This is the real film director!
Chen Kaige's face twitched as he read his script.
This time’s shooting seems not that simple!
If it doesn’t work, withdraw first. There is no shame in withdrawing at this time!
"Senior is so serious. When we get there soon, will we be reprimanded in public?"
Liu Yifei was a little worried.
On the side was Yang Mi, whose face was pale. She didn’t know what others were doing, but if it happened to her all at once, she would definitely be scolded.
Isn’t it a bit embarrassing that there are so many senior actors and famous directors?
"You guys are okay... After all, you are a senior who is rumored to have a girlfriend who rarely gives you some face, right? I can't do that."
Yang Mi looked sad, he knew he wouldn't come.
But Liu Yifei is worried and Yang Mi is regretful.
Liu Shishi didn’t have too many worries.
"Directors Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang have both been criticized. If we are praised, it might be the most embarrassing thing."
Liu Yifei and Liu Yifei took a closer look and found that this was indeed the case.
Then he looked at Liu Shishi with some surprise.
"Shi Shi, your reaction is so fast! It seems that you have changed a lot recently!"
Seeing the look in their eyes, Liu Shishi smiled and didn't explain much.
Because I am a senior, I always cooperate with the system, but I understand a lot of truth
"Damn Mi! Don't talk nonsense about this rumored girlfriend!"
Liu Shishi's face turned red when he realized this.
·····
2009, March.
Su family.
"Wulin Gaiden" is currently being broadcast on TV. This TV series has stabilized the first place in the ratings during the same period, and the copyright fees are also selling well.
After many years, Wang Xiaoling's name finally returned to CCTV's program schedule as a director.
"Hahaha, this TV series is quite interesting, relaxing, and reasonable. It is suitable for CCTV to broadcast - Xiaoyi, I heard that you wrote the script?"
Su's father smiled said.
Su Yi nodded and was about to speak when his phone vibrated.
“Director Su, the construction of film and television cities in various places has been completed, and the Bayi Factory has also been prepared, and filming is ready at any time!”
Han Sanping's tone was filled with excitement.
Such a big production is finally about to start filming!
Hurry up, hurry up, time is still tight!
"Mom and Dad, I started meeting the crew today——"
"Go! Have a good shoot! This time I celebrate my motherland's birthday!"
