Entertainment begins with the talk of young China

Chapter 455 Myth
"The Wandering Earth" has been in preparation for more than a year.

So its preparatory work is very sufficient.

Including all kinds of props with a sci-fi color, they are all made of excellent quality under the strict control of the props team.

Crew.

Qi Ji had just finished the one-and-a-half-hour hanging wire, and was supported by everyone and fell to the ground.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, and complained: "I knew, I should have changed the plot of Liu Peiqiang! This Wia is really uncomfortable!"

Because of the role of Liu Peiqiang, the role of the show is basically in the space station throughout the whole process.

So there will be some shots that are floating due to gravity.

At this time, Diao Weiya is needed.

Hearing Qi Ji's complaint, everyone burst into laughter.

"Director Qi, according to me, there is absolutely no need for you to do it yourself! Let's do special effects in the later stage!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Director Qi is pursuing the perfection of the camera!"

Gu Pingting, an assistant who has been with Qi Ji for many years, went home to give birth during this time.

So the company arranged another one for Qi Jixin, named Mi Aile.

She used to follow Feng Muyu.

Recently, Feng Muyu is concentrating on her studies and wants to study as a graduate student in acting, so she arranges to come and follow Qi Ji.

The little girl is very good-looking, and she has always dreamed of becoming an actress in the entertainment industry.

This is also the biggest purpose of her coming to Miracle Entertainment.

Now that the filming was over, she graciously brought Qi Ji's lunch box over to him.

While Qi Ji was eating, she reported some relevant information to Qi Ji.

"Boss, "Mythology" has already been finalized. The company's music department has written two theme songs, but Director Lu Liang is not very satisfied...I want you to take a look for yourself..."

Qi Ji hummed, and said, "I see, I'll call Director Lu later...it's you..."

Qi Ji took a meaningful look at Mi Aile, and said with a smile, "I see that you care about the crew very much!"

Mi Aile's expression changed suddenly, and she hurriedly said, "Boss, I spend my spare time studying! You know, I'm yearning for this circle..."

Facing Qi Ji, she still expressed her thoughts honestly.

But Qi Ji said without hesitation: "I heard from our Minister Liu that you were mentioned. When you came to the company, you wanted to be an actor... But your acting skills are really unattractive, and you finally became Lao Feng again." assistant!"

Mi Aile nodded with a little embarrassment, and said, "Boss, my dream is still alive! I will work hard!"

Qi Ji hummed, noncommittal.

Every year there are too many young girls like Mi Aile.

Most of them, in fact, their luck is far worse than that of Mi Aile at the moment.

Like Hengdian, there are so many actors who dream of becoming stars every year.

There are also students who graduate from art colleges across the country every year...

In fact, the most indispensable thing in this industry is good looks, what is missing is an opportunity, a chance to make yourself popular.

So now that she can be Qi Ji's assistant, Mi Aile feels that she should be very close to realizing her dream.

"Xiaomi, is Teacher Zhang here?" Qi Ji asked after finishing his meal.

Mi Aile said: "He came half an hour ago, but he said he wanted to see our crew first..."

Zhang Zhengfang, a well-known domestic biographer, has written biographies for many well-known domestic figures.

But this time, he wanted to give Qi Ji the first book.

So last week, I got in touch with Qi Ji.

While Qi Ji and Mi Aile were talking, Zhang Zhengfang walked in with a camera in his hand: "Director Qi, hello! I'm Zhang Zhengfang! We've been friends for a long time! I just finished watching your newly released "Qin Han "Physical book, so beautiful!"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Qi Ji's empty lunch box packaging.

Qi Ji shook hands with him and said, "Welcome!"

The two sat opposite each other, and Mi Aile hurried out to make drinks for the two of them.

Zhang Zhengfang said: "You are on the set, do you eat such simple food?"

Qi Ji smiled and said: "Three dishes, not bad! It's just work! It's delicious, you can eat it anytime!"

Zhang Zhengfang said: "Then let me tell you how I plan to work first?"

Qi Ji nodded.

Facing such a living person like Qi Ji, for contemporary Hua people, he can be described as a legendary figure.

So Zhang Zhengfang was a little nervous when he met Qi Ji for the first time.

Despite his age, he was actually older than Qi Ji.

Having written so many biographies, he probably has his own judgment about these celebrities.

Some people look glamorous, but in reality, their lives are a mess.

For some people, the public image of the outside world is far from their private image.

He wanted to know what kind of person Qi Ji was.

So according to his work habits, he will stay with Qi Ji for more than half a year.

Mainly when Qi Ji was working, to observe what kind of person Qi Ji was usually.

His way of writing is to start with the details.

I hope that from the small details of Qi Ji's daily life, I can write a Qi Ji that the public is not clear about.

After a brief communication with Qi Ji, Zhang Zheng conveniently started his interview work in the crew.

At present, more than 80% of the crew of "The Wandering Earth" have worked with Qi Ji more than twice.

Zhang Zhengfang first found the photographer who was the crew.

Both of them smoked, so they sat in the corner.

Zhang Zhengfang handed the other party a cigarette, and then turned on the recorder: "In your eyes, what kind of person do you think Director Qi Ji is?"

Photographer Lao Fang, who shot "Green Snake" with Qi Ji.

He took a puff of cigarette vigorously, pondered for a while, and then said: "A genius like a god!"

After saying these six words, he couldn't help laughing, and then added: "I'm not lying, don't look at the fact that there are many people on the Internet who brag about Director Qi...but they just saw it. It’s just Director Qi’s top-level work! They haven’t seen the God-like Director Qi in real life! You can take a picture of Director Qi’s manuscript later, the picture is absolutely amazing! You see, our crew is one Is it a sci-fi movie? There are a lot of props? Let me tell you this. Every prop, launcher, and space station is all drawn by Director Qi himself, and then our prop team will slowly make it according to his requirements. That's it!"

Lao Fang said a long paragraph in one breath, now he brushed off the soot that had burnt a third of the cigarette between the index finger and middle finger of his left hand, and then continued: "It seems that all the details of the whole movie, all It's all in Director Qi's mind, you know! This is not a god!"

Zhang Zhengfang listened with great interest.

But the crew was about to start work, and Lao Fang quickly finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, threw it on the ground, stepped on his feet, then stood up, and trotted over amidst Qi Ji's shouts.

Zhang Zhengfang then took out his video camera and took a few photos of Qi Ji working hard in the crew.

Then he found Lao Li, the cook of the crew.

Old Li has been with Qi Ji for a long time.

"I followed our boss. It's been a long time. When he was filming the first season of "5000 Years of China", I followed him when it was still called "Singing the World". The whole crew, hundreds of people People are all cooked by me!"

When Lao Li's cooking team is large, there can be more than ten people!

After all, there are hundreds of people in a crew, and everyone's daily food is a big problem.

Lao Li and Grandpa Qi Ji are from the same village.

In the past, in the village, every family asked him to do banquets.

Later, he followed Qi Ji.

Every time the crew started working for three or four months, he would bring people along and cook meals for the crew for three or four months.

Only do lunch.

"I just ate your stir-fried dishes. It tastes really good. It tastes even better than the chefs outside!" Zhang Zhengfang praised.

Lao Li smiled and said, "Actually, in our crew, especially under the leadership of the boss, everyone is not hypocritical... You see, there are quite a few famous people on the scene today, but they all eat box lunches like our boss! I Last year, I followed the crew of "Fengshen", so some actors don't eat the big pot of the crew, but have to do their own cooking!"

Zhang Zhengfang said: "Is this a special request from Director Qi?"

Lao Li shook his head, and said: "That's not it... It's these actors, they still know it... You said that every time it's time for dinner, you saw the biggest star in the crew, and even the biggest star in the entire Huaguo. What do you think when you say that the biggest guy is obediently eating boxed lunches in the crew? Even if you’re just pretending to be, you still have to eat boxed lunches in the crew! What’s more, my old Li is not bragging, my big pot of rice is really good eat!"

Zhang Zhengfang said: "Hey, that's a good relationship, and during the time I'm in our crew, it's all dependent on you!"

Lao Li nodded and continued: "Are you going to write a biography for the boss, right? I heard that biographies are only written when people are dead?"

Zhang Zhengfang's expression changed, and he said, "You don't want to talk nonsense!"

Lao Li also knew that he had said something wrong with his mouth, so he quickly gave himself a big mouth.

After finishing the day's filming, Qi Ji called Lu Liang at night.

"Director Qi, are you still shooting sci-fi?" Lu Liang on the other end of the phone was a little noisy.

Qi Ji could feel that the other party was walking outside, and the noise around him gradually became quieter.

Qi Ji said: "Yeah, it's always a good thing to try more while you're young!"

Lu Liang said: "I have never dared to touch science fiction. I have been filming for so many years, and I have received a lot of science fiction scripts, but I am really afraid of this thing! You should also pay attention to it, science fiction is in our hands. As far as Chinese-language movies are concerned, that’s a pool of stagnant water! According to the requirements of the Chinese people, it must match the top Hollywood sci-fi productions! Especially your Qi Ji’s movies!”

Qi Ji said: "Don't worry about it, I know it well!"

Lu Liang said: "Okay, I won't say more. Let's get down to business. I personally really don't like the two songs your director wrote for me. I don't mean anything else. I think we have to It's your old hand!"

The entire "Myth" was jointly produced by Miracle Entertainment and Lu Liang's studio.

Apart from writing a script, Qi Ji has basically never paid attention to this project.

Even Lai Xiao Le and the others led the company's music department to write two so-called theme songs for this show. In fact, Qi Ji didn't know about it, and only learned about it yesterday.

Qi Ji said: "Don't worry, I will write two poems in these two days, listen to it..."

"Mythology", whether it is a TV series or a movie, its practical theme song is the song "Beautiful Mythology".

Its popularity was extremely high back then.

In the version of the TV series, there is also a song "The Myth of the Stars and Moon" written by Lu Su's actor Jin Sha, which is also very popular among the audience.

These two songs were prepared by Qi Ji.

The next day, Qi Ji was still filming.

Lu Liang couldn't wait any longer, and rushed to the set in a hurry.

At the moment Qi Ji is nervously filming.

Zhang Zhengfang stood beside Lu Liang, and the two were acquaintances.

Ten years ago, Zhang Zhengfang also wrote a script for Lu Liang, which was an urban love drama, and the word of mouth was very good back then.

"I didn't expect you, an old boy, to be in Qi Ji's crew!" Lu Liang patted Zhang Zhengfang on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhang Zhengfang said: "What are you doing here in such a hurry? Don't tell me, you are acting in Director Qi's crew!?"

Qi Ji was also surprised by Lu Liang's arrival.

So Lu Liang asked him to make a guest appearance.

Lu Liang couldn't help it, and in the end, in Qi Ji's shot, he made a mahjong parlor owner in the dungeon, with only a flash of the shot.

In the afternoon, Qi Ji waited for the props to be arranged by the stage manager, so he sat beside Lu Liang with a guitar in his hands.

Several leading actors of the crew gathered around.

"What are the two directors doing?"

"I heard that Director Lu wanted Director Qi to write a theme song, but he was afraid that Director Qi would not write it, so he chased after the crew directly!"

"Haha! It's so interesting!"

Zhang Zhengfang also held the camera in his hand and took a picture of the scene at this moment.

Qi Ji first took out a notebook and wrote the lyrics on it.

Lu Liang picked it up, looked at it, and there was surprise in his eyes: "Hey! You are indeed our Asian singer! This level of creativity!"

The surrounding actors also leaned over with their heads poked.

Qi Ji said: "There is no arrangement now, I will simply sing to you on the guitar, and see if it is the feeling you want..."

"Ahem... I'll sing "The Myth of the Stars and Moon" first." Qi Ji cleared his throat, then plucked the strings, and said slowly, "The most beautiful scene in my life is meeting you. Staring at you quietly in the vastness of the sea, unfamiliar yet familiar..."

Naturally, Qi Ji's singing skills need not be said, as soon as he sang, everyone at the scene immediately became fascinated.
