If you are asked to make a graduation film, you will win the Golden Bear Award?

"Mulan" cast

Prop drama staff are arranging on-site props.

"Xiaoying!" Lu Chen came to Zhao Liying.

Zhao Liying immediately put down the script and stood up.

"Sit." Lu Chen pressed his hand to indicate sitting down.

Even though they are so familiar with each other, Zhao Liying is still very constrained when facing herself on the set.

fair enough.

Unlike Yang Mi, she likes to stick to herself on the set, for fear that others will not know about her relationship with her.

As for Zhao Liying, on the set, like other crew members, they respect her very much.

Of course, if the two of them are on the same side, in a world of two, Xiaoying will be particularly clinging to herself, like a kitten. This is called separation of work and life.

"Director Lu, is today my last scene?" Zhao Liying was still a little reluctant and was about to leave the crew after finishing the scene.

I can't be with Director Lu anymore.

"Yes, today is the last one." Lu Chen confirmed, "Xiao Li, you have performed very well these days."

"Thank you, Director Lu, for the compliment." Zhao Liying stood up again.

Lu Chen pressed his hand again, indicating that he should sit down and be more easy-going, "I have some good news for you."

"What's the good news?" Zhao Liying's eyes instantly filled with light and her expression was full of excitement. She was wondering if Director Lu wanted her to stay and stay with her.

Or marry yourself.

If it were the latter, Zhao Liying would be extremely happy, but the latter seems unrealistic at the moment.

"Director Zhang Yingmou has taken a fancy to you and wants you to star in his movie." Lu Chen has always been optimistic about Zhao Liying, but Zhao Liying's talent is not top-notch.

But try hard.

Although they cannot reach the top movie star achievements like Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, there is still no problem in becoming a first-class movie star.

"Director Zhang Yingmou?" Zhao Liying thought it was a private matter, but she didn't expect it to be a business matter.

"Yes, Director Zhang Yingmou. Director Zhang praised you a lot on the phone." Lu Chen did not expect that Zhang Yingmou would come to Zhao Liying.

Last year, in 09, Zhang Yingmou approached the most popular Xiao Shen Yang to film "Three Guns", hoping to break the box office record.

But in the end there were only 2.61 million, not even 3 million.

It wasn’t just a box office failure.

It was a huge failure in word-of-mouth. It was rated as a "two-person turn" movie by the audience, and the movie was more like a farce.

Zhang Yingmou is preparing to regroup this year and plans to shoot another movie.

In the past two years, Zhang Yingmou has indeed been very productive, mainly because he wants to break the box office record of his career as a director. He has won many international awards, but he has never had good results at the box office.

Especially seeing that the Mars series, represented by Lu Chen, has all the best-selling movies.

So Zhang Yingmou is also anxious. This time Zhang Yingmou will be filming "Hawthorn Tree Love". He feels that Zhao Liying fits the image of a heroine very well. Zhao Liying's acting skills are also good and she is quite talented.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yingmou found Zhao Liying to play the heroine.

Zhao Liying is one of the Four Little Actresses and an actress that Director Lu Chen pays attention to.

I hope that if Zhao Liying plays the role, she will get strong support from Jupiter Cinemas.

Theater chains are always one of the biggest factors affecting movie box office, and the largest theater chain in the country is Jupiter Cinemas.

"What about you, Director Lu? What do you think of my acting skills now?" Zhao Liying wanted to be praised by Director Lu, and she even wanted Director Lu to tailor a movie for herself.

"It has been greatly improved compared to before. I have the ability to win the Best Actress at the Chinese Film Festival." Lu Chen gave high praise to Zhao Liying.

This made Zhao Liying very happy. When she thought of what she just said, "Director Lu, after I finish filming the scenes of "Mulan", should I go directly to Director Zhang?"

"Go back to Peiping first. The company will arrange your next work." Lu Chen looked at the time and said, "It's almost time. Let's prepare for shooting first."

"Hmm~" Zhao Liying nodded obediently, then picked up the script and looked at it. Although there were no lines in the last scene, there were physical performances and they had to be performed well.

"action!"

The camera is turned on.

The next shoot is.

There was an emergency at the border and the imperial court was recruiting troops.

And Hua Mulan's father was summoned by the imperial court.

The family was sitting at the dining table at home. They all had bad expressions at this time. They knew what it meant to go to the battlefield, not to mention that Hua Mulan's father was still injured in his leg.

On the battlefield, it was almost a narrow escape.

"You have made military exploits, which can be regarded as being loyal to the country." The mother, played by Yang Ziqiong, said that she should not go to the battlefield.

"Tell me this." The father, played by Fan Wei, looked at his wife with worried eyes, "Is it possible that our Hua family will have to resist the emperor's order?"

"But how are you going to fight?" Hua Mulan, played by Liu Yifei, feels that her father should not go to the battlefield and does not want to lose his father.

"Bang!" Fan Wei slapped the table and stared at Liu Yifei, showing his father's majesty. "I am a father. My duty is to fight on the battlefield and bring glory to the family. You are a daughter, so you must keep your true nature." point."

He said and left angrily.

At this time, the camera is also showing Hua Mulan's sister played by Zhao Liying, her eyes are also worried, not wanting her father to go to the battlefield and never return.

"We have to hold on." The mother, played by Yang Ziqiong, was crying with tears in her eyes and her lips were trembling slightly. "This time, your father will never come back."

Hua Mulan's sister, played by Zhao Liying, even lowered her head and started crying.

Hua Mulan, played by Liu Yifei, did not cry, but her eyes showed determination, as if she had made a decision.

From here, we can also see the characters of the two sisters. Hua Mulan is the stronger sister.

"Ka!" Lu Chen signaled that this was passed.

Zhao Liying exhaled heavily, she must not be happy about wrapping up the film, because she was about to leave the "Mulan" crew and separate from Director Lu.

"Xiao Ying, I heard that you were spotted by director Zhang Yingmou, congratulations." Liu Yifei congratulated her. The relationship between the four little actresses is still very good, just like real sisters.

But when it comes to the issue of Lu Chen, everyone wants to become the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. In this matter, they are competitors.

"Thank you!" Zhao Liying thanked her.

"Xiaoying, congratulations on finishing the shoot." Lu Chen brought a bouquet of flowers over.

Zhao Liying happily took it, thinking how good it would be for a proposal of flowers. That moment would definitely be the happiest moment in her life.

"After returning to Peiping, rest for a few days and then report to the crew of Zhang Yingmou's movie." Lu Chen warned, "If you need anything, just tell me."

Telling her directly instead of telling the company also gave Zhao Liying strong support.

"Hmm~" Zhao Liying nodded obediently.

"That's it for today's filming." Lu Chen clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "The crew has booked a nearby farmhouse, and today we are going to eat Fujian cuisine."

"Thank you, Director Lu!" Everyone thanked them. They were very happy to have the morning shift today.

One by one, they started to pack up their shooting tools.

"Xiaoying." Lu Chen called Zhao Liying aside and glanced at Aunt Liu in the distance to make sure he couldn't hear her, "I'll be where you are tonight."

Zhao Liying will leave the crew tomorrow. She has worked hard during filming, so she must be rewarded no matter what. "Hmm~" Zhao Liying nodded happily, "Director Lu, please drink less tonight."

Today, the crew must toast Director Lu, but don't get drunk, otherwise you won't be able to do anything.

Lu Chen told Zhao Liying to rest assured that she would not get too drunk and that she would definitely get over it in the evening.

The filming of "Mulan" has been going on for a week. The filming in Tulou, Fukjian Province has been completed. Next, we will go to the northwest region to shoot the scenes behind the movie.

……

Northwest, the crew of "Mulan"

The faces of the extras showed excitement at this time. This is Director Lu's new work. If they can show even a scene that lasts less than one second in Director Lu's movie, they can boast for a lifetime. After appearing in a movie, he will be able to become a big star in Huandian Film and Television City in the future.

"Tell me, what is the theme of this movie directed by Director Lu? Is it a 3D movie?" The extras saw that the film crew was still setting up the scene and had not started shooting yet, so they all gathered around and chatted.

The extras must not know what kind of movie they are filming.

""Transformers 2"" someone immediately guessed.

Universal Pictures and DreamWorks live-action film studios, including Mars Film and Television, have announced that "Transformers 2" has begun filming and has been scheduled for global release. It will be released in global theaters in December this year.

"What's "Transformers 2"? Look, there are Autobots and a big green cloth here? With Director Lu's shooting efficiency, "Transformers 2" must have been filmed and has entered post-production of special effects." Said the extras. , pointing to the costume on his body, and shaking the weapon in his hand, "Is this obviously a costume drama? It should be a costume war movie."

This statement was approved by many people.

The on-site film crew is setting up tents, which are obviously tents used by ancient marchers to rest during battles.

There are also everyone's costumes, including the weapons in their hands. This must be an ancient war movie.

"Would that be that dynasty? Could it be the Ming Dynasty? After all, Director Lu has filmed "Xiu Chun Knife"?" Another cast member speculated.

"If you want to know, don't you just ask Director Lu?" someone immediately joked.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all said in a joking tone, saying that since we are all extras, how could we meet the famous Director Lu? It would be quite good to meet an assistant director.

"That's not Director Lu! There's Liu Yifei! And Kung Fu superstar Chen Long!" The extras were all excited when they saw Director Lu appear.

As the assistant director who specializes in managing group performances, he can keep everyone quiet and not disturb Director Lu’s work. When he sees Director Lu coming, he rushes to greet him and says, “Director Lu, what are your orders?”

"There are no instructions." Lu Chen came to the group of performers and greeted everyone, "There will be a super long shot in the next shooting, and everyone will be in the shot. Please do your best to perform well."

"It's not hard work!" The extras were all excited. They didn't expect that Director Lu would come over to say hello to everyone, and he was very friendly, unlike the assistant directors on the crew, who were all very strict.

Seeing everyone watching eagerly, Lu Chen took the initiative to take a group photo with everyone, and also called Liu Yifei, Chen Long, Wu Jing and other leading actors to join him.

But it made the extras happy and more determined. Director Lu is their idol in their hearts.

"Director Lu, everything is ready." At this time, the staff came over to inform.

"Okay, everyone is ready, we are about to start shooting." Lu Chen asked the extras to get ready and then came to the camera side.

"action!"

A crane lifts the camera.

From the far distance, it can be seen that this is a huge military camp.

At the door, men wearing various clothes walked in. These were soldiers who had been recruited to report to the military camp.

Hua Mulan, played by Liu Yifei, was also among the crowd.

First, the super long shot.

Then zoom in to a close-up shot of Liu Yifei.

At this time, all the conscripted soldiers were lined up and ready to be registered.

The soldiers in front were all fooling around.

The two even moved their hands.

One of them knocked down 'Mulan', played by Liu Yifei, who was queuing behind her.

Liu Yifei's face showed dissatisfaction and anger.

Liu Yifei's current makeup is deliberately leaning towards the image of a man, without the "fairy" flavor. After all, the "Mulan" played by Liu Yifei is a woman disguising herself as a man and joining the army in place of her father.

"Get up, little dwarf." Wu Jing played the role of the soldier who also came to report. He looked at Liu Yifei, stepped forward and stretched out his hand, with a smile on his face, with the first hint of mocking 'Mulan' for her small stature.

Liu Yifei looked at Wu Jing's smile and became even more angry. She opened the opponent's extended hand, pulled out the sword and pointed it at the opponent, "You call me that again, and I'll let you have a taste of this sword."

His eyes revealed fierceness.

The soldier played by Wu Jing also drew his sword and pointed at the opponent, "Put the sword down."

"So what if I don't let him go?" Liu Yifei stared straight at the other party with no loss of momentum.

The two of them just faced off.

Suddenly, a person burst into the camera, it was the commander-in-chief played by Chen Long. He kicked away the sword and then snatched the swords from the two men. His movements were sharp and smooth.

Liu Yifei and Wu Jing were thrown away, and their weapons fell into each other's hands.

"I am the commander-in-chief here!" Chen Long held two swords in his hands and glanced around. "Fighting is strictly prohibited in the military camp. Do you hear that?"

The eyes revealed the general's majesty.

This is also the second time Chen Long plays the role of a general.

Previously, he played the role of Thai General Mengyi in the movie "Myth".

"Yes, general." Wu Jing lowered his head slightly to express his respect for the general.

Hua Mulan also nodded.

Chen Long was not very satisfied with Hua Mulan's attitude. He came to the front and raised his voice, "Answer me louder."

"Yes, General." Liu Yifei said loudly.

Chen Long returned the weapons of the two of them one by one and looked at Liu Yifei, "What's your name?"

When returning Mulan's weapon, there is a close-up of the sword. On the sword, there are three traditional Chinese characters "loyalty, courage and truth" engraved on it.

"Hua Jun, general." Liu Yifei answered.

Chen Long looked at the sword in Liu Yifei's hand, "Is this your family's ancestral sword?"

"It belongs to my father, Hua Zhou." Liu Yifei took back her sword and answered.

Chen Long stared at Liu Yifei for a while, then walked forward, "Get in line."

The soldiers played by the extras behind him began to line up one by one, and they all acted very seriously. This is Director Lu's movie. If they perform well and are noticed by Director Lu, they might have a chance to appear on the scene, and then they will really be mixed up. Get ahead.

If you perform well and join Mars Film and Television, your life will change.

The soldier played by Wu Jing looked at Liu Yifei. The two of them looked at each other, neither of them were very friendly, but they didn't say anything. Wu Jing lined up behind Liu Yifei honestly.

"Okay, click." Lu Chen put down the monitoring earphones and signaled that this was passed, "All the actors have worked hard, and everyone performed well."

The extras were very happy to hear this. Director Lu called them actors, not extras.

Lu Chen called over the first assistant director of the film crew to shoot the next scene. There was no difficulty in the next step and he didn't have to host it himself.

Next, Lu Chen had to discuss the big war scene later in the movie with the crew's action director and others.

Lu Chen plans to make the largest ancient war scene in a Chinese-language film, with tens of thousands of extras. (End of chapter)
