China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 79 It's not easy to be an actor, nor is it easy to make a blockbuster movie

As long as the money is in place to make a movie, there will be no accidents if the crew does not play tricks, and then the weather is good, and the shooting location will not play tricks and the locals will not play tricks.Then there are generally no major accidents when making movies, except for trivial things such as performance lag and machine failure.

Fortunately, none of these things happened to the crew of "On the Journey".

Of course, there are other things, such as the cameo actress who always wants to do something.

He Fang refused this thing at first. After all, he can promise to others that he can play for nothing after he can't play again. All these things have to be exchanged.

Besides, through the last play, he knew that after having this kind of relationship, it would be unreasonable not to give someone a role, and if he did, he would make himself difficult again.

So, this time he sternly refused.

When I first came here, I was curious about female stars. I didn’t know the unspoken rules at first, and thought it’s okay to play for nothing, so...

But now, he has to be more cautious, he can't let everyone succeed, that would be too uneconomical for him.

Because female stars are not scarce for He Fang, but good roles are scarce for actors.

Why trade my rare role for a female star who can be summoned at any time?Isn't this a loss?The main reason is that if the female star happens to meet the requirements of her role, then that's fine, that's equivalent to a peer-to-peer exchange, and everyone won't suffer. If they don't meet the requirements, if they want a role, should they give it or not?

But for someone like Zhang Yuqi, He Fang still couldn't stand it in the end, because the reason he gave without being verbose, He Fang thought it was not difficult after thinking about it, so he followed the other party's attempt.

As for Zhang Yuqi, at first she thought she could take off after signing Master Xing, but in the end she kept flying ups and downs, and they were all small and medium-sized movies.

However, what is particularly angry is that Master Xing's new movie does not have her share.

Therefore, you must take the initiative to go out to find resources, or else it will be abandoned.

Just when she was thinking about it, someone tricked her into making a literary film, and it was an adaptation of the famous novel "White Deer Plain". They said that a good actress starts with an award-winning literary film, and she must be a little bit The consciousness of dedicating oneself to art...

She even asked her to take the show without telling the company...

She was very confused, because if she accepted this film, it would be a breach of contract, wouldn't that mean breaking up with Zhou Xingchi?
But she is eager to prove herself...

What does laying so much ground have to do with where to start?
Isn't it hoped that if she breaks with Zhou Xingchi and is blocked in the future, how will she stand up?She has to think about the consequences.

So, for a cutting-edge director like He Fang, whose first film grossed over [-] million yuan, who is inextricably linked to Hollywood, and has a strong background, if he makes a good relationship, he can't go wrong with his next hook, right?

If He Fang continues to succeed in the future, and she needs the director to help her turn around, wouldn't this work?

This is the case in the entertainment industry. A star may fall in a big event, and some or most of them will never get up again after falling.

However, if someone gives you a chance when you are at your lowest point, even if it is an opportunity that everyone is not optimistic about, maybe you will get up.

And this kind of person who will give you a chance when you are doomed is the person you have laid a good hook in advance, otherwise who will give you a hand when you fall into the water?Are all good people in the entertainment industry?

Zhang Yuqi was very frank and told He Fang what she thought.

He Fang sighed helplessly, he knew that even if he didn't pull her up, he would get up, so since she would turn over if he didn't help, why not help?

Then what are you talking about, she didn't want to talk about feelings with He Fang, she was playing with the layout, and He Fang was just a part of her layout, so why is there any pressure on He Fang?
As for giving her a big movie save when the time comes?He Fang thought about it for a while, and it was not without it.

(Where's my poem? I've been thinking about it for an hour...crying!)

……

He Fang really doesn't want to get involved with too many people. Although he really wants to, his interest fades a lot when he wants to exchange benefits.

But Zhang Yuqi is a sensible person, and what she does is also clear. She puts out conditions, and you accept it, so that's it.As soon as He Fang thinks he can accept it, that's all.

You can have such a frank and forthright woman.

People like Zhang Yuqi, regardless of their stature, appearance, ability, and acting skills, are passable, so it's okay to rush when they encounter nothing.

Others don't think much about it.

There are too many people in the circle, and if you are not sure, others will play tricks on you. No matter how powerful you are, you will still make a fuss.

Time passed quickly, in the early days of a month, the busy days of the crew passed by in a flash, and "People on the Journey" also finished filming before New Year's Eve.

However, He Fang didn't have any chance to take a good rest for the New Year, because he signed the contract and wanted to shoot "Pacific Rim", so he had to start preparations now.

This kind of large-scale sci-fi production, it is impossible to make a move without preparing half a year and a year in advance.

The first thing to do is to find an artist to paint the sub-shots of the whole story as real as oil paintings, and then let the special effects artists start modeling according to the paintings, and some parts even have to start rendering in advance.

Especially several types of mechs and several types of monsters. In the future, peripheral products can be developed. If the movie is successful, the peripheral products may also make a fortune.

In addition, after the size and style of these mechas and monsters are determined, it is time to go to the robot factory to place an order for test samples, and the finished product must be produced before shooting.

Of course, what is more important is that the large pool studio in Huying Studio has to be built quickly, and aircraft carriers and warships have to be made ahead of the models.

After all, this is a scene where the main battle is at sea, so a large swimming pool must be used for shooting, and miniature molds are used to create the effect of the Pacific naval battle.

Some scenes of urban battles do not need to be set up, this computer modeling will do.

Of course, the most important thing is to set up a super special effects post-processing room, and then recruit enough engineers, so that people from industrial polishing can come and train them for more than half a year.

Alas, there are a lot of things, making blockbuster movies is not so easy.

……

"Director He, is this urgent? If it's urgent, I'll help you finish it all in a year."

After He Fang returned to Changsha, he found Xu Zihua, the younger brother of Song Xuegao, the artist of "Far Cry", who was also a student of the Academy of Fine Arts of Hunan Normal University, but now he is a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts of Normal University.

Because he could find anyone to do the painting for "Pacific Rim", Song Xuegao went to the California Institute of the Arts for a refresher class, so I asked him, and then Song Xuegao introduced his younger brother.

"Hurry up, definitely hurry up. These mechs and monsters need to be drawn as soon as possible. After the mechas and monsters are confirmed, I need to draw the sub-shots for me."

"Since I'm in a hurry, then I'll work overtime during the Spring Festival. By the way, our school has cooperated with Blue Cat Animation to export a lot of animation and painting talents. Do you need painting talents for special effects in the future?" Xu Zihua asked.

"..." He Fang suddenly seemed to be struck by some lightning, as if his head had been opened and something had been poured into it.

"What did you say? Blue Cat Company, do you mean the company of "Three Thousand Questions of Blue Cat"?"

"Yeah, that's the company."

"Oh..." He Fang suddenly thought of animated films. We in Hunan have the conditions. Blue Cat Company is not here. Animated films will be an excellent track in the future...

Don't worry, don't worry, don't take too long.

"Okay, talent, we definitely need it. However, this will be discussed later."

"Ha, no problem, then I'll bring it up to the school. If the school asks you, just say..."

"I understand, I understand..." He Fang immediately understood the other party's intention.

Teachers also need political achievements. If Xu Zihua gets the cooperation of the recently popular Changsha Tuanhuo Culture, then Xu Zihua will...

"Director He, Mr. Kuang Zhiliang said that he finished the third round of fine editing. Would you like to go over and have a look? He said that now we can find some viewers to come over to watch the film. Just watch the unfinished post-production, if It’s okay to revise what the viewers have to say.”

When He Fang was imagining an animated film, his colleagues in the company interrupted his imagination.

"Everyone else is on vacation, but you haven't left yet. Okay, I'll go there right away. After watching you, you can go home for the New Year."
