Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 194

On the ninth day of the lunar new year, on Monday, Zhang Yuanjun, together with Yu Feihong, flew to Chuncheng, Yunnan Province.

After participating in "Love Has an Afterlife", Zhang Yuanjun knew why the cost of this film was so high.

Not to mention the cost of the film, this thing is really expensive.

This is Teacher Yu's 10-year dream, which has led to her perverted desire to control the details of the movie.

Some things that are not a problem in the eyes of other directors are extremely important to her. For example, setting the scene, she has to take people to spend half a year, travel all over the country, and finally find a suitable location in Yunnan Province, and then spend money to make the scene Build it up - Almost all of the major sets in "Afterlife" are improvised.

This kind of work is done in Bashang Grassland, which is the closest to Beijing.

It also saves taking people from the capital to Yunnan Province, which is time-consuming, laborious and expensive.

The mountainous area of ​​Yunnan Province has complex terrain and unpredictable climate, which is far less convenient than Bashang grassland.

In "Love Has an Afterlife", Yu Feihong was an editor, director, actor, and producer, and no one in the entire crew dared to oppose her.

In fact, from the perspective of Zhang Yuanjun, an outsider, Mr. Yu should at least entrust the production to an experienced old man, and should not spend money according to her temperament.

But as I said before, this is Teacher Yu's 10-year dream, and she does not allow others to intervene.

When the crew arrived at Tengchong, the starting location, it was already early morning the next day.

After checking in at the hotel, Zhang Yuanjun asked, "How far is the shooting location from the hotel?"

"We started the machine at Gaoligong Mountain, which is still a few hours' drive from here."

Zhang Yuanjun found another reason for the high cost of the movie. The daily transportation fee for such a journey is not a small amount.

When a director makes his debut film, he can't wait to spend two cents for one penny. Mr. Yu is good, he can do whatever he wants.

Gradually, Zhang Yuanjun changed his thinking, saying that "Love Has an Afterlife" was the dream of Teacher Yu for 10 years.

Is it a director's dream?Do you have to play Ah Jiu's dream by yourself?
neither.

It's simply "I'm going to shoot this story."

Just so capricious.

Teacher Yu is 36 years old this year, and it can be said that her life has been smooth. Coupled with her good family background, whether she is ignorant of the sufferings of the world or idealized, in general, Teacher Yu is very "girly" in her mind.

This also caused her to spend money without counting.

On the day of the launch on the 2nd, not many media came to report. After all, no one wants to run into the mountains for a literary film in this cold weather.

"On March 3, Jinghong Fairy Yu Feihong's directorial debut "Love Has an Afterlife" was launched in Tengchong Gaoligong Mountain Scenic Area. The film tells a poignant and romantic love story, and the leading actor is played by the popular Xiaosheng Zhang Yuanjun. The white robe was unveiled, and the whole person was handsome, which caused the fans onlookers to scream."

The story of "Love Has an Afterlife" took place in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. This was the first time Zhang Yuanjun wore a long robe. Not to mention, it was really beautiful.

"Looking at your appearance, I know that I have picked the right person." Teacher Yu is [-]% satisfied with Zhang Yuanjun's appearance.

Zhang Yuanjun wearing this robe looks handsome, handsome, and gentle, in line with the character setting of A Ming who read sage books since he was a child.

But his acting skills can add a bit of unruly banditry to Amin. After all, Amin grew up in a den of bandits, so it's not good to be too bookish.

These two temperaments were mixed in the same person, and the crew praised Mr. Yu for his discerning eyes, "Choosing such a good actor."

"Should I sit on the ground and raise the price?" Zhang Yuanjun starred in "Love Has an Afterlife" and got the same salary as Teacher Yu starred in "Rising Fame" two years ago, 10 yuan.

"The contract is signed, it's too late for you to raise the price." Yu Feihong smiled, "Okay, let's stop playing, get ready and start shooting."

It was only after the actual filming that I realized how detailed Yu Feihong was in filming as a director.

She really looks like Akira Kurosawa who shut down the entire crew just to wait for a cloud.

On the first day of filming, except for some outdoor shots and long-range shots without dialogue, there was not a single plot scene!
Ask her what's wrong, she will tell, and the actor will act again, but she still can't do it.

That's it.

Then it took nearly 2 hours on the way back to the hotel from the scenic spot.

The filming of "Love Has an Afterlife" reminded Zhang Yuanjun of when he was shooting "Sculpture of God" in Yandang Mountain.

…………

Following the announcement of the main competition unit jury in January, the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee announced the first batch of 1 films shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 10th International Film Festival this year on the first Tuesday after the Lantern Festival.

Among them, the opening film is "Blueberry Night" by Wang Jiawei, chairman of the jury of the previous film festival.

Cannes 60, this year's main competition is exceptionally good, and many films by famous directors were shortlisted.

But one film from the United States caught the attention of the Chinese media:

"Buried Alive," directed by Rodrigo Cortez.

This is Rodrigo's first feature film, and his first feature film was shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes, which is already a great achievement for a new director.

But it was not the director Rodriguez that caught the attention of the country, but the leading actor of the movie, Zhang Yuanjun, who played the role of John Yong, and the only character in "Buried Alive".

Zhang Yuanjun's entry into Hollywood has been in the news last year, but many viewers, including the media, still don't know what kind of movie Zhang Yuanjun made.

At this time, the film was officially unveiled and shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes, rekindling the curiosity of the media.

Of course, the support of Huayi and China Film is indispensable behind this upsurge of attention.

"Buried Alive" has the investment of the two of them, and they also learned the news of the film's shortlist before the outside world, and have been making publicity plans.

Both Han Dong and Wang Zhonglei were insanely happy today.

The Hollywood film you invested in was shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes. What is it?
For Han Dong, this is a political achievement.

For Wang Zhonglei, this is the best proof for the company to go overseas, and he can use this story to raise another sum of money!

Although China Film and Huayi received fixed income from "Buried Alive" and did not participate in the global distribution of accounts, as long as Wang, Han, and Zhang don't say anything, who would know!

Moreover, the three parties also agreed in advance that both China Film and Huayi will use "Buried Alive" to tell stories, and Zhang Yuanjun must cooperate with them and not dig their roots.

Otherwise, China Film and Huayi's total investment of more than 700 million US dollars is so easy to get?

Can Zhang Yuanjun earn 500 million for nothing?
Both China Film and Huayi are promoting "Buried Alive" to be shortlisted in Cannes. China Film Film said that it will participate in global distribution. "The success of "Buried Alive" has provided a good example for Chinese film investment to go overseas."

Hua Yi said that he contracted "more than half of the investment" of the film, and "we will participate in the global distribution of the film, which is a milestone commemorative significance for Hua Yi's film to go overseas."

The reporter went to Yunnan Province to interview the leading actor. Zhang Yuanjun responded, "It's a great honor to be shortlisted in Cannes. I dare not think about winning an award. Being shortlisted is success."

Liu Yifei, who was rehearsing dramas far away in the capital, was a little discouraged:
"He has been shortlisted for Cannes, and I haven't photographed anything yet."
