Entertainment, I just like making movies

Hengdian, hotel where the crew of "The Great Wall" stayed.

In the banquet hall.

With the host loudly shouting blessings from Box Office Changhong, the launch conference of "The Great Wall" ended perfectly.

The media reporters were satisfied, touching the bulging red envelopes in their pockets, and walked out of the hotel door chatting and laughing.

As soon as we went out, we started chatting with people we knew well.

"I really came to the right place today. Fang Ziheng is so interesting. The red envelope for a movie conference was actually four figures."

"Haha, "The Great Wall" has an investment of US$150 million. If you have money, of course you are arrogant. It depends on Fang Ziheng's intention. This is to start the film and start promoting it from the beginning of filming!"

"Taking advantage of others and trying to be soft-spoken. Have you guys thought about how to write soft-spoken articles when you go back?"

"How else can I write it? It has a big investment, a big cast, a production budget of up to 150 million U.S. dollars, and it is co-produced by several major film giants in the world. It is a hit and it is easy to catch."

"Damn it, Fang Ziheng is still so old. Apart from telling us that it's a costume blockbuster, he didn't tell us anything about the plot of the movie. He's so rotten."

"I guess, "The Great Wall" protects China and resists the Huns in ancient times. This movie must tell the story of the alien invasion and the Great Wall defenders rising up to resist!"

A few people were chatting, and the topic turned to the plot of the movie "The Great Wall".

One of the young guys, probably a fan of Fang Ziheng's movie, said with determination: "No, no, I don't think so!"

"I have watched all of Fang Ziheng's movies, some even several times. Starting from "Tang Detective", each of his movies will bring out an ultimate advantage!"

"What an advantage."

A middle-aged man stopped and turned his head and asked.

The young man turned around, pointed to the "Great Wall" banner hanging above the hotel door, and smiled mysteriously.

"'Tang Detective' embodies the perfect combination of suspense and comedy, and 'Famous Detective' embodies teamwork."

"'Edge of Tomorrow' reflects the bravery and fearlessness of Chinese soldiers, and 'The Secret of the Dragon' presents the mysterious gold-finding technique and the breathtaking vast underground tombs."

"The investment in "The Great Wall" is so large, and it seems that it will be distributed globally. Fang Ziheng will definitely take a certain point in the movie to the extreme this time. This kind of extreme is the same as in the previous movies, and foreign audiences will find it incredible when they see it. "

The young man is very confident, can talk freely, and has impressed many media seniors.

Not to mention, this young man really got it right.

"The Great Wall" really wants to embody a certain extreme!

This extreme oppression for thousands of years has made the name of the Tang Dynasty so powerful in Asia and Europe that it is still spread in overseas countries.

After the opening banquet, the entire crew came to the Spring and Autumn Film and Television City. Tangyuan.

Fang Ziheng took China Film Director Han and Wanda Song Ge for a walk in the garden, pointing to Xuanwu Lake and Suzaku Tower in the distance and said: "There are not many scenes here in Hengdian. There are only five filming locations in total. For the official drama, Xiangyang Filming has just started at the Tangcheng Film and Television Base and Tianque City in the northwest desert."

"Director Fang has the final say on everything about the crew, so we won't ask anything about it."

Director Han smiled and waved his hand, took out a document from his handbag and handed it over: "This is the approval document from the Longjiang government. The deputy governor in charge of culture called me and asked me to convey that the Longjiang government welcomes the crew of "The Great Wall" to come The Longjiang government will fully support the crew’s willingness to film in Daxinganling.”

"Director Fang, in order to successfully complete the filming of "The Great Wall", Director Wang made a special call to Wanda Longjiang Branch and asked them to provide logistical support."

Song Ge laughed out loud and nodded specifically.

"Thanks to Director Han and Director Wang for their help. These two calls were so timely."

Fang Ziheng understood instantly and raised a sincere smile to thank him.

He has never been to the Northeast and is unfamiliar with the place. It is a taboo to take the crew there rashly.

The three eastern provinces, the eldest son of the Celestial Dynasty!

With Director Han and Big Lao Wang coming forward, the crew will have less trouble when traveling to the Northeast.

The three of them walked and chatted, talking about this year's opening film work meeting.

"Private enterprises should pay attention to this year's meeting. According to survey data reports, from the end of last year to the end of February this year, the entertainment industry received tens of billions of cash flows in just four months."

"Both the amount of capital and the newly established film and television companies have broken past records. The superiors are worried that the influx of capital will break the current good ecological environment of the film and television industry, so they intend to adjust the policy."

Director Han looked at the crew setting up machines and preparing props on both sides and spoke in a lower voice.

Fang Ziheng's eyes flashed, and he understood the deep meaning of Director Han's words.

To put it bluntly, we are introducing a few restrictions to make the entertainment and film and television industries that are about to grow wildly more standardized.

Another one is to attack the major TV and film companies that are becoming more and more unscrupulous.

He vaguely remembered that the first blow was not on film and TV series projects, but on all major TV stations across the country.

In the previous life, 2012 was a crucial year for major TV stations to compete for ratings.

Various variety show toners appear.

"The Voice of China" and "Where Are We Going, Dad" both appeared on the stage this year and dominated the weekend ratings.

This life is even crazier. "Run, Brother" and "The Voice of China" were released last summer.

"Where Are We Going, Dad" was also released half a year ahead of schedule and will be available to audiences this summer.

Throughout last year, Hunan Satellite TV was suppressed by Zhejiang East Satellite TV. This year they have launched a flagship program, and it is not clear who will win.

It seems that Shonan Satellite TV made the first move.

Fang Ziheng recalled it carefully, and finally remembered the dispute between the two TV stations and the restriction order that spread to the entire variety show system.

Someone reported that Zhejiang East Satellite TV used tutors as a gimmick to sell their popularity. It was not a formal talent show at all.

Someone else reported that "Run, Brother" is all about celebrity Michael C. None of the seven members have hosting certificates, and the program is irregular.

Zhejiang East Satellite TV also came back with a report saying that the content of "Where Are We Going, Dad" has negative education for children.

In the end, the superiors were dissatisfied, and they were chopped down with a knife, each with fifty slabs.

From now on, no matter how popular a variety show is, it can only produce one season a year, with a season of twelve episodes.

In the last life, this incident happened in 2013 or 2014. Why did it start now?

Fang Ziheng frowned, not understanding what went wrong.

"Director Han, I can't get away. This year's opening work meeting will be attended by Vice Director Lin on behalf of Hengyu Media."

"Oh, that's fine."

Director Han smiled slightly and walked forward without talking much about the meeting topic.

After inspecting it, Han Dong and Song Ge left with expectations.

Fang Ziheng did not rush to start filming, but first let the actors walk through the rehearsal several times.

There is enough time this year, there are still nine months left before the Lunar New Year release, and only the army of beasts in the entire movie needs to use special effects, which is completely in time.

He was even worried that the location construction progress would not keep up with the filming progress.

Half an hour later.

The actors are almost ready.

Fang Ziheng came to the director's seat, picked up the trumpet and gave an order.

"Everyone in your place!"

"Actors prepare!"

"Scene 10, first shot, start!"

buzzing

The drone took off and the set was cleared of people.

The extra performers of the palace ladies who had been prepared in advance came out of the corridor not far away with small steps and were scattered around the flowers in the Tang Garden.

Chen Kun dressed in emperor's uniform, took imperial steps, and made a shining appearance hand in hand with Wu Meiniang played by Yang Xue.

"Mei Niang, I have just ascended to the great throne, and envoys from all over the world have come to congratulate me. I want to entertain envoys from all over the world during the Lantern Festival to show off the majesty of my heavenly kingdom."

With a smile on his face, Chen Kun held Yang Xue's little hand, like a gentle breeze and drizzle, and spoke with an aura that was two parts gentle and one part contemptuous of the world.

Yang Xue was wearing a gorgeous long dress and a phoenix crown on her head, with a quiet face. She bowed her head and smiled shyly according to Chen Kun.

"Your Majesty, how can an envoy from a small foreign country not admire the majesty of our heavenly dynasty?"

"I heard that something happened in Tianque City?"

After chuckling, Yang Xue changed the topic, raised her pink neck, looked at Chen Kun Yingying and asked.

"Click!"

Fang Ziheng waved his hand to interrupt the shooting.

He came to the two of them and stared at Yang Xuezuo again and again, always feeling that something was wrong.

Yang Xue was shocked when he stared at her, and asked weakly: "Director, did I act wrong?"

Her cautious appearance does not have the aura of the queen in the TV series "Little Fish and Flowers".

Fang Ziheng shook his head and said nothing, but looked at the palace ladies taking care of flowers in the garden.

A few seconds later, he slapped his forehead, pointed at Yang Xue's chest and said, "It doesn't work here, is it too exposed?"

"ah"

Yang Xue's eyes widened and she looked at Fang Ziheng in disbelief.

Chen Kun raised his eyebrows, subconsciously looked at her chest, then smacked his mouth twice, and smiled helplessly.

Definitely showing less.

The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was relatively open. Women generally wore short shirts and long skirts, short shirts on the upper body, long skirts on the lower body, and high waists, exposing a large area of ​​​​the chest.

Yang Xue is 34 years old this year. She is the most mature and flavorful age. She has a good figure and skin like snow, which cannot be wasted.

"Hurry up and adjust it according to the standards of a noble concubine of the Tang Dynasty. Remember, you are alone with the emperor in the garden."

"I understand, director." Yang Xue nodded understandingly and trotted away.

She studied the script for nearly half a month and knew that exposing her breasts was a must, but it was just a matter of showing more and less.

Soon, Yang Xue came back, smiling sweetly, and a hint of snow-white was looming on her chest as she took steps.

Fang Ziheng took a look and smiled with satisfaction.

He didn't deliberately make it awkward, just expose the grooves and bumps normally.

Shooting continues.

The first scene was filmed three times in a row and passed perfectly. The whole crew burst into applause of joy.

Luck still kills me!

………

Time passed, the sun set in the west, and a wisp of red clouds rose in the sky.

Assistant director Sang Lin took five or six executive directors to the Zhuque Tower to arrange their troops.

A large group of tall and powerful Beiya Imperial Guards, armed with spears and standard Tang knives at their waists, were stationed around the Zhuque Tower.

In the Zhuque Tower.

A solemn and antique room.

Fang Ziheng was telling Chen Kun about the play: "Kun, remember what I told you before. Although Li Zhi has a feminine temperament, this temperament is more of a slightly frail aristocratic temperament, which is similar to what you said in "Longmen Flying". The Yu Huatian played in "A" is fundamentally different."

"Li Zhi is the direct son of Emperor Taizong and the daughter of Empress Changsun. He ranks third. According to the general order of accession, it is impossible to become the emperor.

But there is one thing, Li Zhi has an advantage over his two brothers! "

After saying this, Fang Ziheng paused, opened the script in his hand, looked at it twice and said in a solemn voice: "When Li Zhi was nine years old, the eldest grandson Queen died of illness. Taizong Li Shimin cherished this son who lost his mother at a young age. He gradually favored him and kept him here. Life in the palace.

Even when Li Zhi became a prince and built a palace, Li Shimin did not let him leave. This led to Li Zhi staying in the palace for a long time. Compared with his two brothers who were sent to build a palace, he was less chauvinistic and more chauvinistic. There was a hint of weakness. "

"This subtle aura of gentleness helped him a lot after he ascended the throne. Both the emperor's relatives and the court ministers were very reassured about him and thought he was an excellent successor."

"However, only Li Zhi himself knows that he wants to be the emperor who expands his territory. He has been staying by his father Li Shimin's side for a long time. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, his ambition and power have already reached their peak!"

"In general, the imperial temperament of Li Zhi, who first took over the imperial power, was more subtle, implicit and hidden. He treated the harem and ministers without losing the royal air, and was relatively respectful and gentle."

"Director, I understand. I will study the role of Li Zhi carefully."

After listening to Fang Ziheng's lecture, Chen Kun's eyes gradually brightened and he nodded heavily.

He also discovered the complexity of Li Zhi's role. Unlike other emperors, he was an emperor with excellent luck, superb scheming, patience and wisdom.

After finishing the scene, Fang Ziheng waved his hand outside: "Everyone, hurry up, let's call it a day after filming this scene."

"Director, the Forbidden Army is ready!"

"The props department needs ten more minutes."

"Quick, quick, hang up the red lantern."

"Be careful, this red lantern is precious, don't knock it over."

Outside the Zhuque Tower, the voices of several executive directors rang out.

Fang Ziheng's crew is different from ordinary film and television crews. The assistant director is more in charge of the crew.

Unlike other crews, the executive director is under the director, or the assistant director also serves as the first executive director, which is surprisingly powerful.

In his crew, the assistant director is usually a talented newcomer, mainly to cultivate good directors.

The executive directors are all backbones, with seniors who know a little bit about everything and are not very talented. Sometimes they also serve as assistant directors.

Below, they are professionals who specialize in a line of work and serve as heads of various departments.

Finally, there are the crew's notes, staff, etc.

Twenty minutes later.

Sang Lin held up a big loudspeaker outside and announced loudly: "Preparations are complete, irrelevant personnel are leaving."

Fang Ziheng and Chen Kun, who was eager to try, walked out of the Zhuque Tower. One of them came to the front of the monitor, and the other walked to the starting point of shooting.

"Everyone in your place!"

"Actors prepare!"

"Scene 11, first shot once!"

"start!"

With an order, a guard of honor appeared outside the Zhuque Tower.

Chen Kun, dressed in gorgeous clothes, appeared on camera, walking toward the Suzaku Tower from one end of the camera with a calm face.

Within sight, the Zhuque Tower was impregnable, with red lanterns hung high, illuminating the entire building.

Groups of strict and cruel Beiya Imperial Guards were lined up on both sides of the road, standing motionless.

When Chen Kun walked in, the Imperial Guard, who had been motionless, raised his hand across his chest, lowered his noble head, and paid tribute to His Majesty the Emperor.

Tread

Chen Kun walked into the building with a quick step, came to the room where the drama was just given, and sat firmly behind the elegant and simple desk.

The camera moved forward and gave a close-up.

Chen Kun put his hands on the desk, his eyebrows slightly serious, completely different from the relaxed and freehand mood in the Tang Garden during the day.

Three seconds later, he glanced into the void and said faintly: "Give me the military report from Tianque City."

"As you command!"

The eunuch waiting diagonally in front bowed, backed away slowly, and ran out of the room.

"The beasts are attacking and besieging Tianque City!"

"Is this man-made or a natural disaster?"

An inexplicable voice sounded in the study room.

Chen Kun looked serious and was deep in thought, tapping his long and moist knuckles lightly on the desk.

Accompanied by the rhythmic tapping of his knuckles, his eyes narrowed slightly, and two sharp rays of light appeared in their depths.

Who is it?

So brave, you dare to invade our border with the Tang Dynasty!

At this point, the medium and long shots are almost done.

In front of the monitor, Fang Ziheng watched it several times and smiled with satisfaction.

"Click!"

"Not bad, not bad, Chen Kun acted well!"

"Go on, let's strike while the iron is hot and finish the next few shots together!"
