Chapter 160 Filming, Film Festival
The "Kung Fu King" that has been in development since the beginning of the second half of last year has finally made progress.
Hua Yi announced to the public that the crew has set off to the first filming location and is ready to start shooting at any time.
The announced filming locations in China alone include the Gobi Desert, Xianju Waterfall, Anji Bamboo Sea, and the Plum Garden in Fangyan, Yongkang.
This does not include Hengdian, Wuyi Mountain, Jiuzhaigou and other places.
"The King of Kung Fu" covers almost all the places where domestic blockbusters have been filmed.
Miss Liu sent a message, and she decided to send a still photo of herself to Lin Nan every time she went to a shooting location, euphemistically saying that a photo is like a face.
Half an hour of phone calls every day is essential, unless the filming is really too busy.
Lin Nan had thought that costume films were difficult to shoot, but after actually doing it, she understood how tiring it is.
Especially this kind of thing that requires wire-drawing and fighting scenes.
"I'm very glad right now that you come to the set to be my assistant director, otherwise I would have been exhausted."
Lin Nan said to Wu Ershan with a tired face.
If he was directing it alone, the filming would be completed within the originally planned time, which would be too much for his body and would definitely have to be postponed.
Now that Wu Ershan is added, Lin Nan only needs to assign tasks to him the day before and indicate his ideas and requirements.
Wu Ershan can help Lin Nan share at least 20% of the workload according to the script and shots.
"Director Lin, you're very polite. I would also like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to work on such a large-scale commercial film. No matter how many people ask for it..."
Lin Nan looked at Wu Er. Kind, what the other person said was sincere and he meant it.
The filming started again. Pei Rong, played by Mei Ting, held Wang Sheng’s back, while the latter was naked.
The two were talking about Pang Yong.
"Brother Xiao Ming, you have to control the next scene, haha..."
Lin Nan said, and everyone present, including the actors and behind the scenes, started laughing.
Because what follows is an intimate scene, but there are not many scenes, and the style of writing is Spring and Autumn.
Wang Sheng woke up with a start, and the face of Pei Rong in his dream suddenly turned into Xiao Wei.
"Director Lin, I am a mature actor, I am stable."
"I am stable, doesn't that mean I have no charm?" Mei Ting joked.
"Haha, it's just filming. The ladies are all beautiful." Huang Xiaoming hurriedly changed his tune.
We joked for a while and then got to work.
The lizard spirit played by Hu Ge appeared in Xiao Wei's room carrying a wooden box.
Zhou Xun closed his legs at this time and sat sideways in front of the guzheng, with one hand on the ground, looking charming.
“Click.”
"Lao Hu, this character, how should I put it, is very cheap.
He likes Xiao Wei and is willing to give everything. He even helps Xiao Wei while watching the succubus he likes seduce another man. Kill your love rival.
Do you understand this mentality?”
Hu Ge nodded blankly.
Lin Nan patted his forehead.
"The first time you see her, your eyes should be filled with honey.
It's like... let me think about it, yes, it's like a dog meeting its owner..."
< br>This doesn’t sound nice, but everyone knows that Lin Nan is definitely not cursing, but teaching drama.
"Director Lin, the metaphor is very good."
Zhou Xun also nodded in affirmation.
The rest of the crew stopped to rest, and Hu Ge was thinking about what Lin Nan had just said.
Shu Chang slipped to Lin Nan's side.
"What's the matter?"
"It's nothing.
It's the one you just mentioned, the honeyed look in your eyes. I seem to have seen it many times."
"Where?"
"You and Sissi are like this every time, goosebumps, hehe..."
After Shu Chang finished speaking, he ran away without waiting for Lin Nan to react.
Lin Nan looked at Shu Chang in the distance, with a successful look on his face, and said, "We'll talk about it later when we shoot your part."
"Huh? I was wrong. …”
...
The filming of "Painted Skin" is in full accordance with the advance schedule. If nothing unexpected happens, it can be completed in June, or even earlier.
This year's Cannes Film Festival is destined to be very grand, after all, it is the 60th anniversary.
The official website announced the list of invited guests from all over the world.
Lin Nan was standing out, side by side with Gong Li and others.
"Director, are you going?"
"No."
I have received the invitation letter. At Lin Nan's company, if "Painted Skin" does not start production, he might actually do it. Go for a spin.
Definitely not possible at this moment.
"Everyone, please take filming seriously. In order to work with you, I turned down the invitation from Cannes." Lin Nan made a sad expression.
"Are you worried about money?
If you go to Cannes, the crew will not be allowed to stop work, haha..."
Zhou Xun and others ruthlessly exposed Lin Nan's thoughts.
"Tuya Wedding" was forced to be canceled because after the box office reached 5.4 million, it stopped moving at all and could not even grow by 10,000 yuan a day.
This should be regarded as the most embarrassing award-winning movie.
On the other hand, "Buried Alive" was released normally and grossed 36 million.
China Film has made a lot of money this time.
Liu Yifei sent Lin Nan her modern look from "The King of Kung Fu".
"Haha, why does she look like a girl?"
Shu Chang took a peek and kept laughing.
Lin Nan also had to admit that this look was really not good, and he didn't know where he hired the stylist. His salary should be deducted.
Two days later, the Hong Kong Island Film Awards held its awards ceremony.
This is Lin Nan’s first time to interact with the Hong Kong Film Festival.
"Stone" won the best screenplay, and Ning Hao came on stage to accept the award.
After coming down, a group of Hong Kong reporters surrounded Ning Hao and asked him if Lin Nan didn't come to receive the award on purpose.
"Director Lin is filming "Painted Skin" and can't leave.
Don't think too much, he also declined the invitation to Cannes for the 60th anniversary."
That night, Lin Nan I saw online reports while on set. "A mainland director is suspected of mocking the Hong Kong Film Awards for not being as good as the Cannes Film Festival..."
"Mainland directors despising the Hong Kong Film Awards."
...
Ning Hao and Lin Nan were in the news.
Many netizens are mocking the Hong Kong media.
“Nima, it’s not as good as Cannes, so let’s save some face...”
“I don’t have any self-awareness at all.”
Lin Nan was also speechless, this could bring disaster to himself.
“That’s how it is over there. Even if you are given an award, it feels like you are being given alms from above. I have experienced it all, not to mention that people like you won’t go. They must think you don’t give face. ”
Zhou Xun spoke of his own experience.
“What a drama inside!” Lin Nan complained.
No matter what the news outside said, Lin Nan ignored them all.
...
Shu Chang appeared in the camera with a sallow complexion and thin skin, dressed in tattered clothes.
Meet Pang Yong, played by Jiao Enjun, at the inn.
Pei Rong, played by Mei Ting, also came to the inn, and the three of them sat at a table.
“Click.”
"Changchang, you are just a spectator. Before she said that she suspected a monster came to the house, you were mainly eating instead of listening. It was only after this sentence that your expression changed.
< br>Again.”
……
Cannes has announced the shortlist for the main competition.
The six films selected by China Film Group, as well as "The Sun Also Rises" that was released through the British and pornographic channels, all seven films were wiped out.
In other words, all seven major directors were wiped out.
......
The most expensive scene in the entire "Painted Skin" movie is here.
That is the scene where Xiao Wei, played by Zhou Xun, changes his skin.
It is not a special effect, but an imported material that looks no different from leather.
"Sister Xun, please take it easy."
Lin Nan looked at Zhou Xun. At this moment, there was actually a layer of skin-like material on the other person's face, including his neck and behind his ears.
The advantage of being expensive is that it looks completely flawless and exactly the same as real skin.
“Is it that exaggerated?”
The filming started soon, and Zhou Xun couldn’t help but ask.
"The thing on your face costs hundreds of thousands to nearly a million dollars. Our crew doesn't have much inventory."
Lin Nan said cautiously.
Zhou Xun remained motionless, "Is it so expensive? Then hurry up and take pictures..."
Lin Nan waved his hand, and the staff quickly arranged the scene, and the machine lights were in place.
“When tearing, pay attention to the rhythm.”
"No problem, I believe it, sister." Zhou Xun made an OK gesture.
“Action!”
In front of the bronze mirror, the fox demon Xiao Wei forcibly lifted up the 'skin' on the face from the chin position, and slowly tore it open, all Tear off...
Pei Rong, played by Mei Ting, naturally showed fright and panic, but after being threatened, he still acted as if nothing had happened and appeared in front of everyone.
“Click.”
"After the painting is torn open, the scene revealed needs special effects later.
But Senior Sister Mei Ting, your performance without real objects is really great."
Lin Nan praised it. One sentence.
“Thank you, Director Lin, for the compliment.”
……
Closing Ceremony of College Student Film Festival.
Ning Hao won his second Best Director trophy, the first time here too.
When delivering his speech, he also specially thanked Lin Nan for his support.
“Oh, take your time.
I just want a building with some gold content, why is it so difficult! I don’t dare think about your silver bear, at least give me a hundred flowers. Okay..."
Ning Hao called Lin Nan to complain.
After talking about the serious business, we started gossiping.
Why did Gao Yuanyuan interfere with Xia Yu, Yuan Quan and Jia Zhangke to attend the Cannes Short Video Unit Chairman, Feng Dao had severe vitiligo...
Lin Nan couldn't stand it anymore and even wondered if this guy had drank today: " Come on, I have something to do so I won’t talk to you anymore. I’ll hang up.”
While hanging up the phone, I heard Xing Aina yelling over there: “Go back to your room quickly. Do you think I’m here?” You can hide in the bathroom for a night..."
Lin Nan suddenly realized!
"Good guy, it turned out that I was hiding from debt."
......
"Red Cliff" stumbled into production, attracting the attention of the entire industry.
Lin Nan didn’t know how much money each investor had advanced, but for such a large project, the startup was extremely low-key, which was incredible.
China Film has always been generous and publicized, but I didn't see it at all this time.
Lin Nan also asked the staff of China Film Group stationed on the set.
Since it was revealed that some Hong Kong directors had resorted to various tricks to embezzle film investment funds from China Film, the crew of "Painted Skin" has added producers from China Film.
In other people’s words, “I just have to follow the procedures. Those guys from Hong Kong Island are too shady.”
“Director Lin, if it comes to your ears, don’t spread it outside. ”
"You said."
"This film has already been shot.
If it is made, it will fail at the box office at most. Movies are a high-risk industry;
But if you don’t take pictures, all the money in front of you will be wasted. That is a flow of assets..."
"Stop it, I didn’t ask anything today."
After Lin Nan finished speaking, he turned around and walked away without looking back.
Let me see if I can add an update today.
