The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 89 Changing Angles
"Director Feng really has nothing to say to you." Lu Yuan said enviously.

After filming "A World Without Thieves", Wang Baoqiang signed a contract with Feng Xiaogang's studio.

Although he took over and filmed several TV dramas one after another, he himself hopes that the focus of development can return to movies.

He told Xu Fan about this, Xu Fan blew the wind on the pillow, twisted his fingers softly, Feng Xiaogang naturally softened.

Feng Xiaogang can be said to be quite supportive of Wang Baoqiang.

In "The Banquet", he was allowed to make some guest appearances, although it was cut out due to various reasons in the end.

However, this does not mean giving up on him. The "Assembly Number" project was just established, and a role was immediately prepared for him.

Wang Baoqiang agreed: "Director Feng naturally has nothing to say, but if I hadn't been fortunate enough to participate in the filming of "Blind Well" back then, I would have had no chance to be noticed by him."

"I've seen "The Blind Well", and your performance in it is just two words, naturally!"

Lu Yuan gave a thumbs up: "If I remember correctly, there is also a naked scene in it."

Wang Baoqiang saw that his words became more and more crooked, and interrupted: "Actually, when the crew was filming, I wasn't the leading actor at the beginning."

Lu Yuan didn't know much about this, he only knew that he won the Golden Horse Best Newcomer Award in 03 with this drama.

"The filming was very risky, and real people were required to go into the mine. On the way, the mine next door encountered a landslide. Many actors were frightened. The crew closed in the afternoon, and many people ran away without asking for money. In the end, even the leading actor did not hold on. .”

"Later, the director had no choice but to look for it among the remaining ensemble actors. Seeing that my image matched the characters in the movie, he chose me as the lead actor."

Lu Yuan comforted, "It's not easy. By the way, were you an adult when you filmed that naked scene?"

Wang Baoqiang looked disgusted: "You man, why do you keep staring at this matter and asking, it makes people feel ashamed."

"Isn't this curious?"

The main creators met in Shengjing. After resting for the night, everyone set off for Kuandian early the next morning.

Unfortunately, it suddenly became foggy in the morning, the sky was gray, the surrounding area was filled with dense fog, and the vehicles were moving very slowly.

The road conditions from Shengjing to Kuandian were not very easy, and it was foggy and bumpy. It took nearly 6 hours to get there.

In November, it was dark and early, and when everyone rushed to the hotel arranged by the crew, the sky had already turned a faint yellow.

To clean up briefly, Lu Yuan borrowed a car from the crew.

"Baoqiang, walk along the riverside, do you want to go?"

Wang Baoqiang had no choice but to get into the car quickly, and the two of them drove slowly along Yalujiang Street.

Kuandian is a typical border city, having experienced wars and vicissitudes of history.

It was from here that the Volunteers entered the Korean battlefield through the Yalu River.

In the 60s and [-]s of the last century, there was an anti-special old movie "Guardian of the Railway" which was filmed in Kuandian.

There is also an old movie called "The Eagle in the Sky" as well.

Some battlefield relics left here are the main reason why the crew chose to shoot here.

When they came to the Yalu River Broken Bridge, the two parked their cars, bought tickets, and boarded the bridge one after the other.

Facing the wind of the river, with the rolling water under your feet, and looking across the river from a distance, the two completely different styles can't help but raise a sense of heroism in your heart.

Thinking of reading a few lines of poems to add to the fun, I racked my brains only to find that my brain was empty.

Gan!
I really am a scumbag, Lu Yuan thought.

At this time, a big fish over one meter in size suddenly jumped up on the river.

Someone said it was a sturgeon.

Lu Yuan was about to yell out a damn sentence to express his shock.

Wang Baoqiang, who was leaning on the bridge, suddenly said leisurely: "Director Feng is under a lot of pressure this time!"

Lu Yuan was speechless: "You are somewhat disrupting the atmosphere!"

Wang Baoqiang said: "The two old men don't sleep at night and come to see the river view. What kind of atmosphere do you want?"

What he said was quite reasonable, and he suddenly wanted to drag Liu Shishi away from home.

Lu Yuan supported the bridge frame: "Director Feng wants to transform, won't you understand "Night Banquet"? It's courageous!"

Wang Baoqiang: "There are a lot of critics on the Internet for "The Banquet"."

Lu Yuan: "Just make money."

Didn't it make money?

"Night Banquet" invested 1.2 million yuan, and it paid back its capital only by overseas distribution, and the domestic box office also reached 1.3 million yuan.

The box office revenue in the mainland is pure profit, plus the later audio-visual, TV and other copyrights, it earned almost 1000 million US dollars.

So much so that for this new film "Assembly", 50% of the investment funds come from unsecured bank loans with very low interest, which is completely copyright mortgaged.

Wang Baoqiang chuckled: "Director Feng still has a lot of pursuits. I heard from him that the target this time is "Saving Private Ryan". Director Feng wants to make the first modern war-themed commercial film in domestic film history."

"Then it's not easy to bid in the overseas market this time. Whether we can get back the money depends on the domestic market." Lu Yuan looked to the other side, faintly flickering with a few lights.

Wang Baoqiang: "The company's attitude is to support the director, as long as it doesn't lose money."

Lu Yuan sighed: "Director Feng is going to suffocate his dream this time!"

On the fifth day of the film crew's start-up, in the outskirts of Kuandian.

This place was originally a wasteland, empty and uninhabited, with nothing.

Feng Xiaogang forced people to build a war-torn town according to the actual proportions.

As usual, Lu Yuan stood behind Director Feng Da, silently watching the screen on the monitor.

This is his first exposure to film shooting, so he always has a learning attitude.

Feng Xiaogang knew that he was an artist signed by the company, and Wang Zhonglei even greeted him specially, but he didn't care much about him.

Just watch it if you like it, whether you can learn it or not.

During the past few days of observation, Lu Yuan found that there is indeed a big difference between movies and TV dramas.

If TV series is the art of screenwriting, then film is the art of directing.

TV dramas are inherently able to build perceptions based on the length of the plot.

Movies need to rely more on the director to tell wonderful stories in a shorter period of time.

As far as the actors themselves are concerned.

TV drama actors are like long-distance runners. If they can’t do it this episode, they can make up for it if they perform better in the next episode. Everything serves the development of the plot.

Movie actors are more like sprinters, and they pay more attention to the performance tension of the actors themselves.

Every scene needs to be polished slowly. If you still can't find the feeling after a few points, the director will have to jump.

"Ka! Come back!"

"Card!"

"Cut, the actors rest!"

In front of the monitor, Feng Xiaogang paced, thought for a long time and stopped shooting.

Lu Yuan counted, this scene is the director's No. 12 call card.

Feng Xiaogang waved: "Chen Shu, come here."

In the arena, a woman with a unique charm came slowly.

Even wearing an old blue coat and bubbling braids, it can't hide the charm of the other party.

Her name is Chen Shu, and she plays the heroine Sun Guiqin in the play.

At the age of 30, she has a standard beauty face, with a beautiful face and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy.

A beauty lies beyond the skin, Chen Shu is such a person.

Although her appearance is amazing, Lu Yuan thinks her temperament is more moving.

If Liu Shishi is a shy young girl waiting to be released, then Chen Shu is a big sister with a calm style.

"Director Feng, what's wrong?"

After Chen Shu approached, he nodded slightly at Lu Yuan, and then looked at Director Feng.

"I have to replace you!"
