China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 73

The next scene is a rivalry between 'Qin Feng' played by Gu Wei and 'Sinuo' played by Zhang Zifeng.

"Zifeng, the conversation before you should appear innocent, and the smile at the end should have impact. You should practice it first."

"Okay, director." Zhang Zifeng replied obediently.

Although Zhang Zifeng is young, she has much richer acting experience than the protagonist Gu Wei. She started filming commercials when other children were still in kindergarten.

Later, he played the role of children in some movies and TV series. In 09, Zhang Zifeng, who was only 8 years old, starred in Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake".

Last year, before Xu Zheng's "Tai囧" was released, she also collaborated with Xu Zheng in a movie "Modern Times", in which she played Xu Zheng's daughter.

So in terms of acting skills, Gu Wei is not worried about her at all, she is already a mature actress.

Little sister Zifeng is indeed a talented player, and she understood what Gu Wei meant, and the filming of the scene started.

The first two performances were a bit poor, but the third one was almost perfect. The camera turned from top to bottom, and the ghostly eyes and smiling face shocked Director Huang behind the monitor.

"Very good, Zifeng, you performed very well." Gu Wei praised after watching.

In the camera, Zhang Zifeng's personality will be different when playing different roles, but after the scene, he will return to a shy little girl in her teens.

After hearing Gu Wei's praise, he didn't speak, but smiled embarrassedly.

After the filming of this scene, the sun outside also came to the right position.

The crew and actors hurriedly adjusted their positions and finished filming the scene where the murderer was revealed just now.

Zhang Zifeng also finished his career and left the group, and returned to China with his mother.

Originally, she joined the group only halfway through filming, and then the crew concentrated on filming her scenes for a few days, and naturally left the group.

On April 4th, the filming of the last chase scene on the road was finished, and the crew officially wrapped up.

"Card! Passed!
【Detective Chinatown】Officially completed! " Gu Wei said to the whole crew with a loudspeaker.

"Great!"

"It's done!"

"."

Cheers came and went.

Making a movie is not an easy task. From the start of a movie to its completion, the entire crew is like a machine running at high speed, and no one dares to slack off.

The crew filmed for 55 days in Bangkok, Thailand.

There are no weekends and holidays for 55 days, and everyone has put in their own efforts and sweat for the filming.

There are more than 100 crew members like Gu Wei and the others who go abroad to shoot movies. Every day of filming, the crew's funds are flowing away like water.

No one dared to relax in the slightest, for fear that the money would be gone before the filming was finished.

Now that the movie is finally finished, everyone feels as if a big rock has been lifted from their shoulders, feeling extra relaxed.

In the evening, the finale banquet prepared by the crew.

As the investor and director, Gu Wei, the biggest person in the entire crew, stood up and held his wine glass
"Everyone, for this first glass of wine, I respect everyone in the crew.

[Detective Chinatown] This movie is my first movie as a director. Although I am only a new director, I know this movie must be an excellent movie.

Because of your dedication and hard work.

After 55 days of hard work, I deeply remember everyone's contribution to the film.

I am very fortunate to have met a group of excellent partners to complete this film with me.

Now I am proud to make movies with excellent guys.

While this movie is extraordinary, it will certainly not disappoint.

I believe that in the near future, everyone will be proud to have participated in the filming of "Detective Chinatown".

thank you all! "

After speaking, he raised his hand and drank the wine in the glass.

"it is good!"

"The director's atmosphere!"

"."

Gu Wei's opening speech heated up the atmosphere of the banquet.

Everyone followed suit and drank the wine in their hands.

At the dinner table, everyone toasted to each other, you toasted me a cup, and I returned a cup to you.

Chen He and Xiao Yan also started drinking with Bao Qiang and Pan Yueming, saying that they would continue their unfinished drinking game that night.

At the main table, the crew also came to toast with Gu Wei one after another. Of course, Gu Wei did not refuse any comers.

Everyone was playing and making noise, releasing the happiness in their hearts to their heart's content.
-
The plane landed from Bangkok to Beijing International Airport, and Gu Wei and his party walked out from the passageway of the airport one after another.

The main creators all wore detective trench coats and black sunglasses, which became a beautiful landscape at the airport.

"I'll go, do you think that's Wang Baoqiang?"

"It seems that the one behind him is 'Zeng Xiaoxian'!"

"The one walking in front seems to be the actor who played [Xiu Chun Knife]~"

Some passers-by at the airport saw their group and talked a lot.

Before they walked out of the airport, reporters surrounded them, and Gu Wei and the others stopped when they saw this.

Some took pictures outside, and some came closer with microphones
"Director Gu Wei, is your movie [Detective Chinatown] finished?"

"Yes, after this period of time, the filming of the film has been completed."

"Then when do you plan to release it? How about meeting the audience?"

"It depends on the post-production time and schedule."

"Did you have any setbacks when you went abroad to shoot a film this time? Did everything go well during the filming process?"

"The shooting went very smoothly. I have a professional team and a group of excellent actors. With their joint efforts, I have completed an excellent movie."

The reporter's interview at the airport also attracted some crowds to watch. After asking a few simple questions, Gu Wei and the others left.

Do you think it was the news of the film crew's return to China that attracted reporters to the airport?too naive.

The interview is a real interview, but the reporter is hired by the company in advance.

Find familiar media, and spend real money.

Popular stars don't have to do this kind of thing, but second- and third-tier stars or stars who have passed away and want to be popular often do it.

The purpose is to increase exposure and increase popularity.

From the moment the movie is finished, the promotion of the movie begins.

The crew's return to China is just the beginning. The company has arranged for reporters to interview at the airport. The news will be released tomorrow to give the public a first impression. Later, as the film's release date approaches, it will gradually increase the intensity of publicity.

Everyone's clothes and the interviews with reporters arranged at the airport are all part of the pre-publicity.

Gu Wei has always believed that publicity accounts for at least one-third of a movie's box office, and the rest depends on the quality and reputation of the movie.

As a producer, Chen Zhixi also agrees with this point very much. After watching the high-grossing movies she produced as a producer in the later stage-[Pancake Man] [I am Li Huanying], the box office sales were largely due to publicity and promotion. marketing results.

Regarding Gu Wei's ideas on film promotion, the two hit it off immediately.

[Detective Chinatown] In the entire crew, Wang Baoqiang is the most famous, but you can tell from his appearance that Baoqiang is a thoroughly capable faction.

Chen He and Xiao Yan have certain reputations, but they are not enough to attract audiences into the cinema.

Gu Wei is now a male protagonist with a proven record and a big hit in movies, so his status in the circle is not bad.

But the popularity is too low, there are no popular TV series, and Gu Wei does not accept other film and television dramas and variety shows, so his exposure is too low.

Therefore, if [Detective Chinatown] wants to be as popular as the original time and space or even exceed the original version, Gu Wei and the others need to work hard on publicity.
