Entertainment, I just like making movies

Magic City.

Yan'an East Road tunnel entrance.

Fang Ziheng and Liu Qianqian stood on the top floor of the Jinyan Building on the Bund, looking at the Oriental Pearl Tower on the other side of the Huangpu River.

There is the headquarters energy base of the alien invasion of China!

Precisely because of the blessing of endless energy, aliens can attack China again and again and fight to the death with Chinese soldiers regardless of the cost of casualties.

Yesterday the military and the Propaganda Department handed over the note.

After discussion, the Magic City City Government, publicity, culture, transportation and other departments approved the filming request for "Edge of Tomorrow" and issued a film shooting permit.

Aliens invade, and the other side has a variety of high-tech weapons that are ahead of the Earth. The background of the movie is equivalent to an apocalyptic war.

In this way, the Magic City will become an empty city with only alien activities.

An empty city means a lockdown for filming!

Although only a small area is blocked, it is still very troublesome.

This is how it is when selecting locations for shooting in big cities. Restricting traffic is a big deal and must be approved by the superiors and local governments.

Fang Ziheng now has three films under his belt and is quite famous. Coupled with the endorsement from China Film and the military, he was able to get the city government to relent and quickly complete a series of filming requirements.

Fame is a thing that seems illusory, but when it comes to using it, the effect is still very good.

When Feng Tongtong prepared "Tangshan Earthquake", he had the full support of the Tangshan City Government. If it were an unknown person, no one would care.

The same goes for Lao Mouzi. During the filming of "Hawthorn Juice Love", the local government gave him the greatest care.

We stayed in the best hotel in the county, and the cost was kept to a minimum, with a room costing less than 100 yuan.

In order to assist in the filming, the county even set up a co-production office, let’s just say it’s awesome.

There is also Chen Daren. In order to prepare for the filming of "The Orphan of Zhao" and to coordinate with the filming of the movie, the Xiangshan Film and Television Base built a Spring and Autumn and Warring States City with a wave of his hand.

This is the convenience and benefit that a great director's fame and status brings to himself.

If Fang Ziheng hadn't had "Tang Detective" and "Famous Hunters", "Edge of Tomorrow" would never have been so smooth.

You know, this time the Magic City is in the movie, but it plays the role of an occupied city.

"It's really going to explode!"

Liu Qianxi leaned on his shoulder and asked, pointing to the Oriental Pearl Tower.

"Of course, it must be blown up, otherwise how can we show the price China has paid to save the world!"

Fang Ziheng smiled faintly, tightened the beauty in his arms, looked at the river and said, "Not only the Oriental Pearl Tower, but also the Nanpu Bridge and the Yan'an East Road Tunnel must be blown up together. Only in this way can the plot be reasonable and allow the special team to sneak into the river to avoid aliens. Human surveillance touches the Oriental Pearl Tower!"

"Let's go, it's almost time, let's go back!"

After saying that, he took Liu Qianqian's hand and turned to go downstairs.

The young lady's beautiful eyes flashed and she said faintly: "How about we not go back today and live outside!"

hiss.

Live outside!

It’s not impossible!

One sentence stirred up the anger in Fang Ziheng's heart again.

The two went downstairs and found a high-end hotel nearby.

In a luxurious suite.

Fang Ziheng checked it carefully and after making sure it was safe, he took off his mask and walked into the bathroom with his bathrobe.

Liu Qianqian took off her coat, turned on the air conditioner, adjusted it to a suitable temperature, and then looked at the entire suite.

In the living room, there is a red yoga ball placed behind the sofa.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a single soft chair was placed close to the window. On the white wall next to it, there was a mirror two meters high and one meter wide hanging on the wall.

Liu Qianqian frowned and looked left and then again, feeling very puzzled.

She kicked the yoga ball, leaned on it, made two movements to return to exercise, and asked towards the bathroom: "Zi Heng, this hotel is so weird, why is there a yoga ball?"

"This is a trendy hotel. There are many new and fun things. I will teach you later."

Fang Ziheng's words came from the bathroom, with an inexplicable tone and a hint of expectation.

The young lady became even more curious. She rolled her dark eyes, got up, went to the bedroom, and turned on the wall lamp.

A large snow-white bed with a crystal lamp hanging above it.

What surprised the young lady the most was that there was a leather whip and two pairs of leather handcuffs hanging on the crystal lamp.

She stepped forward blankly, reached out and took off the whip, then flicked it lightly.

Snapped..

The whip was thrown into the air, colliding with the air and making a whipping sound.

Then, the young lady saw a wire next to the bed, with a remote control connected to it.

"Weird!"

The young lady murmured and returned to the living room with a confused look on her face.

ten minutes later.

Fang Ziheng came out of the shower.

Liu Qianqian was lying on the sofa, shaking the whip in her hand, and leisurely watching the Six Princess Movie Channel.

At this time, the Sixth Princess played a zombie movie by Uncle Ying.

Um.

Isn't that a whip? Why do you still have it in your hand?

Could it be

Does the young lady understand very well?

It shouldn’t be!

That was what happened not long ago!

Fang Ziheng was secretly amused, and while wiping his hair, he asked, "Sissi, do you want to wash it?"

"No, I'll wash it later!"

The young lady didn't even raise her eyes, watching with relish Uncle Ying's beating of the miserable zombie.

Fang Ziheng didn't move much all night.

The large bed has a massage function, and the frequency can be adjusted at will.

Liu Qianqian also gained knowledge, blushing and half-heartedly agreeing to many of his rogue requests.

Only then did she realize that there were other uses for yoga balls, floor-to-ceiling windows, and mirrors.

As for the whip and handcuffs, she refused to agree to it, so let's drop the matter!

the next day.

The two slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up and going downstairs refreshed.

November 2nd, four o'clock in the morning.

The crew drove to the Oriental Pearl Tower and quietly turned on the camera with the cooperation of tower personnel.

At the same time, traffic police and special police were on duty around the base of the Oriental Pearl Tower, sealing off a one-kilometer radius.

The aerial photography team took off early and took pictures of the dark scene before dawn in the magical city.

According to the agreement between Hengyu Media and the Shanghai Municipal Government, the Oriental Pearl Tower was lent to the crew for three days of filming.

The lockdown period is from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. every day, and the crew has 8 hours a day to shoot.

Five o'clock in the morning.

The crew made all preparations, and Fang Ziheng gave the order to officially start filming.

"Everyone in your place!"

"Actors prepare!"

"The 120th scene, the first shot once!"

"start!"

In addition to the Oriental Pearl Tower, the crew also selected twelve filming locations in the Magic City.

Nanpu Bridge, Yan'an East Road Tunnel, Magic City City Hall, old Republic of China buildings, etc.

It is impossible to blockade the twelve scenic spots at the same time. We can only shoot them one by one, one scene at a time, wherever they are!

As the photo was taken, the sky became brighter.

A red sun rose over the eastern sea with a great light.

By eight o'clock in the morning, many tourists and passers-by came around the Pearl Tower.

Seeing a large group of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms and black mechas holding weapons, tourists and passers-by were filled with curiosity.

"What are you doing, an exercise?"

Many people just point their fingers and press forward.

Traffic police and special police officers set up a cordon and waved their hands at everyone, indicating that they were not allowed to approach.

"It's not like a drill, it's like filming."

"It's true, look, there are many cameras next to it, and there are aerial drones in the sky!"

"Lend me your binoculars to see if there are any big stars."

"This crew is so awesome, they even blocked the Oriental Pearl Tower!"

"Hey, let me go. Isn't that Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian, Deng Chao and the others?"

"Who is it? Let me see where it is?"

"I know, it's the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow". They came to Shanghai to film!"

"Damn it! It's really Fang Ziheng. Look, you guys, this bitch is wearing a camouflage military uniform, a peaked cap, and a walkie-talkie in his hand!"

"It's already November, why did "Edge of Tomorrow" come to Shanghai to film?"

"It should be part of the shooting. The whole shooting will definitely not be able to make it in time for the Lunar New Year!"

"Isn't it said that "Edge of Tomorrow" is a war in the future? Is it going to turn the Magic City into the apocalypse?"

"Let's go and have a look. Maybe we can join in as an extra Dangdang!"

Curious people uploaded photos of Fang Ziheng, Liu Qianqian, Liu Ye, Deng Chao and others to the Internet, and then attached a text, which instantly attracted the attention of netizens.

In just half an hour, the news that "Edge of Tomorrow" was filming in the Magic City topped the Weibo hot search list and became a hot topic.

"Wow, the fairy sister is so charming, I love her!"

"What should I do? I really want to go and watch it offline, maybe as an extra!"

"Brothers from the Magic City, act quickly, I want to hear the latest frontline news!"

"Gaga, I work in Lujiazui. I'll be there as soon as I step on the accelerator. Brothers, please wait for my good news!"

"I don't know what the story of "Edge of Tomorrow" is about. Why are there soldiers participating in it?"

"Fang Ziheng is so bad, he hides and pinches, he is really not open-minded!"

"Indeed, this guy is the best at telling people off. He is a monkey and a monkey."

………

At nine o'clock, the crew called it a day.

The area around the Oriental Pearl Tower has been surrounded by water. Scenes of stills from "Edge of Tomorrow" were posted online, attracting huge attention.

The nearby entertainment media in Shanghai got wind of the news and blocked the scene directly outside the cordon with cameras, demanding to visit the crew to interview them.

When Fang Ziheng saw this situation, he had no choice but to hold a film interview meeting to meet the reporters' requirements.

It’s okay not to be satisfied!

These guys are still needed to help with the movie's release. If you don't make it easier for others, they will let you go.

Under the Pearl Tower!

Fang Ziheng, wearing a camouflage military uniform and a peaked cap, smiled and said to reporters: "Everyone, as you can see, "Edge of Tomorrow" is a science fiction war movie!"

Sci-fi war movie!

What the hell is this?

The reporters were deceived and subconsciously thought that Fang Ziheng was deceiving.

Just like before, he tried to whet their appetite by telling off the story.

One guy was impatient and asked loudly, holding up the microphone: "Director Fang, I have only heard of science fiction films, war films, and apocalyptic disaster films. Is the science fiction war film you are referring to a novel genre? Can you elaborate? explain!"

As soon as these words came out, other people's eyes lit up and they looked over with burning eyes, expecting him to give a detailed explanation.

"It's not a new theme, it's a film that combines science fiction, war, and apocalypse."

Fang Ziheng smiled lightly, not trying to whet everyone's appetite.

Aliens have invaded, and all countries in the world except China have fallen.

This is both the end of the world and a disaster!

And because China is strong and can compete with aliens, "Edge of Tomorrow" can also be called a war movie.

Coupled with the various high-tech weapons in the movie, this is another solid science fiction movie.

Fang Ziheng gave a rough outline of the movie, throwing out the concept of aliens invading the earth and most of the world falling.

The reporters became more and more excited as they listened. At the "Edge of Tomorrow" press conference, Fang Ziheng showed a video of more than ten seconds, and it was indeed famous.

Star battleship!

Exoskeleton mecha!

Small spaceship!

Stealth missile!

laser weapon!

A series of nouns full of technology and fantasy captured their psychology at once.

Thinking of Fang Ziheng's ability to write scripts, the reporters' minds were agitated, and they unknowingly came up with the idea of ​​watching "Edge of Tomorrow".

"Director Fang, what role do you play in the movie? Is it a starring role or a supporting role?"

"Liu Ye, you are the male lead. How do you feel about working with Director Fang for the first time?"

"Sissi, you cut off all your hair for the role. Is it worth it? I see that your skin tone has become darker recently. Is it hard to film?"

"Sissi, let me ask one more question, are you and Director Fang in a relationship?"

"Deng Chao, this is your fourth time working with Director Fang. How is it? Do you feel annoyed or bored?"

"Hu Jun, look at your epaulettes. The character you play is an officer. Do you have any experience as a soldier before?"

"Gu Zhixin, Xu Honghao, and Zhang Yi, "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" is currently on the air. The three of you are together again. You are still a soldier, and you have nothing to say. Do you feel that the roles are repeated?"

For a moment, the reporters turned into good students, grabbed the special operations team, and seduced them from various angles to spit out information about "Edge of Tomorrow."

None of us are newbies, and we have already prepared for reporters’ questions. We will reveal a sentence or two about the content of the movie without saying everything.

The more reporters listened, the more they became itchy. Their eyes lit up from time to time, and sometimes they felt helpless.

No matter how much they ask, they just can't get the real plot of the movie!

After the interview, the reporters came to Fang Ziheng with a microphone and asked questions that were of concern to movie fans on the Internet.

"Director Fang, the movie is set in a magical city. What can you say?"

"Director Fang, can you tell me how many filming locations "Edge of Tomorrow" was filmed in the Magic City?"

Reporters are not stupid. Judging from the ban on the Oriental Mingdu Tower, they can guess that "Edge of Tomorrow" is definitely going to have a big battle.

Fang Ziheng held the microphone, flicked his fingers, and said with a long smile: "I can't tell you the reason why I chose Magic City as my back. I can only tell you that it is absolutely shocking."

"The crew will shoot in the magical city for about 20 days, and we have chosen a total of 12 locations for filming."

After answering the last question, Fang Ziheng handed the microphone back to the reporter.

They still have to rush to the next filming location to complete the filming of the evening and dusk scenes.

Outside the cordon, countless enthusiastic fans and fans were crowded.

Fang Ziheng took the film's creators and bowed in several directions to say thank you, then quickly pedaled away.

No way, this is the city center!

The ban has been stopped, and the cars outside will be let in soon. If they don't leave, it will really cause traffic jams.

………

After the interview.

Media reporters quickly passed the content back to the company.

Before ten o'clock, colorful articles were scattered like snowflakes on major entertainment websites.

"With the whole city under lockdown, "Edge of Tomorrow" can be called the biggest masterpiece in film history. Director Fang Ziheng shouted, 'I come, I see, I conquer!'"

"The aliens have arrived, humans have become ants, and the brave and fearless soldiers have used the entire Magic City as a battlefield to conduct special operations against the aliens."

"'Edge of Tomorrow' is shocking. Fang Ziheng closed the city for filming to create the most realistic science fiction war scene!"

"A science fiction war film, "Edge of Tomorrow" combines the four major genres of science fiction, war, apocalypse, and disaster. Fang Ziheng once again tells the world what it means to be talented and what it means to be a genius director!"
