China Entertainment has been a director since 08

Chapter 165 Changjin Lake Power On

"Director Li, I have to join the crew of "Changjin Lake" later!"

Wu Jing touched his head in embarrassment.

The movie "Wolf Warrior" will have its premiere tomorrow.

And he is the leading actor of "Changjin Lake".

"It's okay, we won't start filming so soon!" Li Hao nodded slightly.

This time "Changjin Lake" is absolutely unprecedented in scale, with the largest investment in history and the largest manpower since 1990.

As for the manpower is not the largest, it is because "The Armageddon" was too brutal back then, with 13 soldiers acting as group performers, this is incomparable!
This time "Changjin Lake" used more than 7000 people as the pre-stage staff, and various studios and three major art schools were mobilized.

And it is estimated that extras will also reach 7 people!
There are a lot of tank props and so on!
And here, it is necessary to recruit many foreign ensemble performers and foreign actors.

For this kind of film, there is no need to count on the overseas box office, and it is almost impossible to be released. In other words, you have to count on the box office in the mainland. Even if it is calculated according to the highest share, the two films of the upper and lower movies have to have a box office of about 30 billion in order to recover the investment.

Preparatory work will cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and it will take a long time.

The plan is to start in July.

However, the main actors will gather in advance for military training.

After all, it is a military war movie, and the actors can't have no military atmosphere at all.

After arranging things, Li Hao was busy with "Changjin Lake", and he didn't even attend the premiere of "Wolf Warrior".

7 month 5 day.

"Changjin Lake" held a launch conference in Beijing!

Many people were surprised why Li Hao made such a film with the theme of war!

The news they got before was that Li Hao's next movie was the sci-fi blockbuster "The Wandering Earth", so why did it suddenly change.

And the cast is too strong, there are a hundred of them!

At the press conference, the heavy history of the Changjin Lake Battle as the background was very conspicuous.

The starring configuration is eye-catching.

Wu Jing plays Wu Qianli. Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" has just been drawn, and it has won a box office of 10.3 billion. It was written, directed and acted by itself.

Zhang Yishan plays Wu Wanli.

Hu Jun plays Lei Suisheng.

Zhu Yawen plays Mei Sheng.

As for the supporting roles, they are even more famous.

Jing Tian, ​​plays a nurse.

Tong Liya plays the role of a female war reporter.

Hugo, playing the son of a great man.

Yang Mi, plays the daughter-in-law.

And when Li Hao announced that the investment was as high as 12 billion, it shocked all the media.

After the press conference, the filming of the scene in the capital city began.

The main actors are all special type actors.

The scene in Beijing was filmed in three days.

Afterwards, Li Hao brought the crew to Zhejiang. First, he came to Hanshan Lake in Tiantai County, which had already been selected. Here he will shoot the very first scene, which is Wu Qianli's urn with his brother Wu Baili after the battle.

The crew has already set up the set.

Framing first.

The lake area of ​​Hanshan Lake is 9600 mu, which is equivalent to 6 West Lakes, and the scenery is very beautiful.

The Ninth Corps, which was in Zhejiang at the time, was urgently dispatched to the northeast!
When the sun sets, the golden sun shines all over the lake.

A peaceful little fishing village!

Start shooting.

"All departments are ready." Li Hao shouted with a loudspeaker.

"The camera crew is ready!"

"The props group is ready!"

"."

Reports from various departments.

"Start!" Li Hao shouted.

Wu Qianli, played by Wu Jing, is sitting on a fishing boat, holding Wu Baili's urn in his hand. First, he takes a close-up shot. After Wu Qianli touches the urn, the camera gradually zooms out and turns into a long-range shot, showing the beautiful scenery here.

Beautiful scenery means that the civil war is over and a better life is coming.

This scene is over.

It was getting late, so we directly filmed the scene where the family had dinner.

After filming this scene, the first day of shooting was over.

After a few days of filming in Hanshan Lake, the filming of the scene here is over.

Then I went to Bulu Township, Xianju County, Taizhou to take pictures!

After filming the scene here, move to Meishan Station, Meishan Town, Changxing, Huzhou!

Here will appear the second big scene of the movie, which is the scene of the Ninth Corps landing on the train.

When Li Hao and the others arrived, the props and trains were all ready.

The train, of course, will not be the steam locomotive of that era. It will be made with special effects to replace the real diesel locomotive.

The shooting here is all taken at night!

Thousands of group performances, once there are thousands of people, it will be very spectacular immediately.

Too many people means coordination is difficult!
This scene took four full days of filming to complete.

In addition, the scene where the Ninth Corps assembled was filmed for several days before and after.

When we arrived in Hengdian, Zhang Hanyu's scene was the first to be filmed. There were only two days left for his scene, and there were very few shots.

Next, the main scenes will be filmed in Hengdian. After filming the scenes here, we will go to the next place.

On this day, the filming is over.

Everyone eat supper together.

"Congratulations to Director Li, the movie is a big hit at the box office!" Everyone toasted to Li Hao in celebration.

During the summer vacation, two consecutive "Nine Cauldrons" movies have achieved quite good results.

"Jiu Ding Tale: Young Dragon" and "Jiu Ding Tale: Qianlong", with a box office of 12.8 billion and a box office of 15.9 billion, performed very well during the summer vacation.

Li Hao said dumbfoundedly: "Are you congratulating me, or are you laughing at me?"

Although the two films both won the box office championship in the same period, but now the outside media are reporting that Li Haojiang's talents are exhausted, and the film suffered a big defeat in Waterloo.

As it turned out, these guys were celebrating his box office success.

"Haha~~" Everyone burst into laughter.

"Those media only know to report indiscriminately. Such a good box office is considered a disastrous failure, so other directors can commit suicide by jumping into the river." Wu Jing laughed.

"The Finale of Four Famous Detectives" had a box office of 1.9 million, and the celebration banquet was held early.

It turned out to be a good thing, but on Li Hao's side, it has become a box office fiasco!
"Director Li, wait for your "The Wandering Earth" to be filmed and released before you slap them in the face!" Nie Yuan said with a smile. This time he played the role of Yu Congrong.

Li Hao smiled.

He didn't care about that.

The box office of the two movies is 28.7 billion, and Haotian Media can share 11.39 billion. Even if it is rewards for actors and celebration banquets, there are still 11 billion. Li Hao is already quite satisfied.

Not to mention, "The Dragon of the Nine Cauldrons Enters the Sea" and "The Nine Cauldrons: The Transformation of the True Dragon" have already been produced, and they are waiting for the Lunar New Year file. Now the first two are considered to be accumulating popularity.

"Everyone has worked hard during this time, I respect everyone!" Li Hao poured a glass of wine and raised his glass.

Everyone drank together!

During this period of time, many of them were filming night scenes, and when they were filming, it was midnight, and sometimes it was even dawn.

There are many ensemble performances and a large crew!
If it weren't for China Film's six assistant directors to assist, Li Hao would definitely not be able to bear it!
