Chapter 803 The Captain of China starts filming

Yu Zheng did not expect that he accidentally revealed the contents of Zhai Tianlin's paper just by taking advantage of the popularity, making netizens want to prove that Zhai had committed "academic fraud".

On Li Mu's way back, Liu Yifei discovered that Yu Zheng's Weibo post could no longer be searched.

However, if you search for "Yu Zheng strongly supports Zhai Tianlin", you can still see screenshots of evidence from netizens.

However, it was precisely because of Yu Zheng's screenshots that some "powerful" netizens dug out Zhai Tianlin's original paper and checked it for plagiarism. The result was very sad.

There are large sections of plagiarism in Zhai Tianlin's paper, with an overall overlap of more than 40%. In other words, nearly half of his paper is not original. What is even more unexpected is that the articles copied in Zhai Tianlin's paper come from Baidu Wenku.

Even Huang Lihua, the author of the plagiarized paper, condemned the case: "My article from more than a decade ago was plagiarized whole paragraphs by them. Facts speak louder than words."

This made the matter even bigger, and netizens were happily enjoying the melon while celebrating the New Year.

On February 02, the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, early in the morning, many media reported that the total box office of the Spring Festival exceeded 10 billion yuan, with "Crazy Alien" leading the way with nearly 40 billion yuan.
Although the results are very impressive, it is obviously still very difficult for this year's Spring Festival box office to challenge last year's record of breaking 50 billion. After all, there is only the last day of the Lunar New Year left.

The seventh day of the Chinese New Year is the day when most workers go to work, and it is also the day when Li Mu's crew of "The Captain" gathered to announce the start of filming.

Liu Yifei was already packing clothes and some commonly used items for Li Mu in the room.

"Will there be any media present at the start of filming tomorrow? I need to prepare something for you."

"No, I didn't invite the media, and I started the filming in a low-key manner."

"Okay, then we're done. Let me tell you, this box is for daily clothes, and the second box is for..."

Liu Yifei took Li Mu by the hand and arranged the contents of each box clearly for Li Mu.

"understand?"

"understood!"

Li Mu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Someone had arranged everything so well, so there was nothing he didn't understand. Although many things were already available in the hotel, Liu Yifei was still afraid that Li Mu would not be used to them, so she stuffed them in.

February 2th, the seventh day of the Chinese New Year.

The box office for the six-day Spring Festival period stopped at 46 billion, failing to break last year's record. After all, it was missing Li Mu's "The Wandering Earth".

"Crazy Alien" and "Speeding Life" ranked first and second with 16.69 billion yuan and 11.43 billion yuan respectively.

What is surprising is that Zhou Xingchi’s "The New King of Comedy" was far below expectations, and it even failed to break 6 million, which is really shocking.

Mengying Media is still the winner of this Spring Festival. Maoyan surged upwards as soon as this Hong Kong stock was released. However, the box office was already anticipated on New Year's Eve and the price had already reacted a little, so it did not fall below the issue price. Therefore, it did not rise sharply on the first day after the New Year.

After all, it's not that the A-share market is speculating on concepts, new stocks, or performance. In short, everything is speculated. If Maoyan were to be listed on the A-share market, the new listing alone would have continued to rise during this period, and retail investors would not be able to buy it.

Qingdao, the Oriental Movie Metropolis, even if no one from Li Mu's crew came, there were always people here, some were traveling, and some were crew members who only took a day or two off during the Chinese New Year and then came back to continue filming.

“I heard that the four large studios all belong to the crew of Li Mu’s “The Captain”. How generous.”

"What's so special about this? I heard that there is a 3:8633 scale fuselage of flight U inside, and the control tower is also set up!"

"It would be great if we could act in Li Mu's movie. I heard the benefits are super good. Damn, this crew, the director and the lead actor are too powerful. I don't have many scenes, and I'm asked to drink and eat. They don't treat us extras like human beings.

And if I could play a supporting role, maybe I could become a big star too!"

"Stop dreaming. You might as well buy a lottery ticket for Li Mu's movie!"

"."

Right next to the "The Captain" studio, many people from other crews were looking at the "The Captain" crew members who were arriving one after another with envy.

The filming will start on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, so the time is naturally set in the afternoon. After all, the crew members have come from all over the country, so more time must be reserved, as some of them may spend a few days.

Luo Jin and Tang Yan came here together.

"What is Director Li's shooting style like? Is it very strict?" Tang Yan couldn't help but ask after entering the studio and seeing a large number of staff members moving things.

Although her role is not in the front, she came here just to accompany Luo Jin, which is equivalent to visiting the set, because she had an announcement in Qingdao so she came by, but after all, this is her first time to participate in Li Mu's movie.

"Don't worry, Brother Mu is well-known as the gentlest director in the industry. He rarely loses his temper, but of course he will lose it when he is unhappy." Luo Jin said softly and gently to Tang Yan.

"Don't call me Brother Mu on the set. Call me Director Li. There are so many people on the set. If they hear you calling them that, they might plot against you behind your back."

"Oh, yes, I spoke too quickly." Luo Jin responded repeatedly.

"Senior Brother Luo Jin, Sister Tang Yan." Just then, a slightly crisp female voice sounded behind them.

"Oh, Qi Ru, you're here. Please sit down first. Have you been here for a long time?" Luo Jin and Tang Yan were both stunned for a moment, then Luo Jin reacted.

Because of the previous training, the leading actors and others were more or less familiar with the situation.

Yang Qi was a little nervous on the crew at this time, because he arrived too early and there was no familiar face here, only crew members. Fortunately, Luo Jin and the other person came.

"It's okay, I just got here."

Although Yang Qiru said so, Tang Yan, as an old lady, could tell at a glance that Yang Qiru had been there for a long time and her little face was red from the cold.

Qingdao is still very cold in February.

At this time, the leading actors also came in twos and threes, including Yuan Quan, Zhang Hanyu, Ou Hao, Shu Chang, Li Qin, and Zhang Yamei.
The scene became more lively for a while. As more people came, many of them were familiar with each other, such as Shu Chang and Yuan Quan, who had filmed several dramas together, so they naturally got along very well.

Zhang Hanyu, Ou Hao and Luo Jin, the three men were also chatting enthusiastically.

As for Li Qin, Zhang Yamei, Yang Qiru and Tang Yan, they also gathered together to chat.

When Li Mu came over, he saw this scene.

"Director Li!" When they saw Li Mu, everyone stopped talking.

"Everyone is here. It's alright. Take a seat first. Today is nominally a start-up ceremony, but we're not actually filming. It's just a formality. We'll have dinner together later. The assistant director has sent you the address of the restaurant."

Li Mu smiled and signaled everyone not to stand.

After a brief conversation, the crew of "The Captain" started filming. The ceremony and process were simple, and not even a single media member came.

Early the next morning, the leading actors had already changed into flight attendant uniforms.

According to Li Mu's plan, all the hardest parts were to be tackled in the beginning, and since he had just finished training before the New Year, it would be best to start with this part now, otherwise he might forget about it later on, and all the training would be in vain.

However, there were quite a few extras at this time, including some professional supporting roles. After all, there were more than a hundred passengers, and they all needed people to play the roles.

As for the airport scenes, they were naturally shot on location, so as to show the most realistic airport scenes.

"It seems the training went well. To be honest, I was a little worried yesterday."

Li Mu couldn't help but chuckle when he saw everyone's makeup and their temperament after wearing flight attendant uniforms.

Yuan Quan and the others smiled and joked, "Don't worry, Director Li, we can all fly planes now."

"real or fake?"

"Then we'll have to ask Brother Zhang, our captain."

"Don't talk nonsense, I can fly a plane, why don't I go to the sky." Zhang Hanyu waved his hands repeatedly, "But I still have some experience in learning to be a pilot, and my movements are in place, but if I really let me fly a plane, it will be useless."

"Hahaha, okay, let's get ready to start." Seeing that the crew members were relaxed, Li Mu didn't say much and prepared to start filming.

"Oh my god, the instruments in this airplane cockpit look so real."

"You know what, the data on this computer screen is too real. It seems to be exactly the same as the real machine during training."

The leading actors boarded the model plane and were immediately shocked by the 1:1 restoration of the Airbus A319 inside.

"All are 1:1 restorations. They are all things you are familiar with. Don't be surprised." Li Mu smiled faintly, then took out the intercom and asked, "All departments report on their preparations."

"Photography in place!"

“There’s nothing wrong with the lighting!”

"The props are ready!"

"The actors are ready!"

"."

As the various departments reported back that there was nothing wrong, Li Mu immediately picked up the loudspeaker and shouted:
“The Captain, first scene, first shot, action!”

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, the huge crew began to move.

Although the filming of "The Captain" was not complicated, there were so many people involved that there were definitely some troubles.

On the first day of shooting, one or two "down jackets" accidentally appeared in the camera, so we had to shoot over and over again to avoid being exposed.

The main reason is that the weather is still very cold now, but in order to restore the weather in May, both the leading actors and supporting actors are dressed according to the weather in May, which caused difficulties during filming.

Fortunately, the training was effective. The nine leading actors stood in their seats naturally, as if these crew members were themselves.

Li Mu nodded with great satisfaction.

On the first day of Li Mu's actual filming, there was new progress in the academic fraud and plagiarism incident of Zhai Tianlin.

Beijing Film Academy even set up a special investigation team, and Zhai Tianlin's article "On the Performance Creation of "Bai Xiaowen" in the TV Series" was also removed from Zhiwang.

Obviously, this is basically a confirmed fact, there is no way to escape it.

At this moment, Luo Jin and Yang Qiru, who were resting, suddenly laughed out loud, and everyone looked over.

Li Mu was also a little curious.

"what happened?"

"Director Li, take a look!" Luo Jin pointed to the photo on his phone, which showed the words of thanks written by Zhai Tianlin on his paper.

Li Mu took a look and was surprised. This guy couldn't even type the name of his Beijing Film Academy director and mentor correctly in the various thanks. He typed Chen Yu as Chen Yi.

"Not bad. I didn't type Dean Zhang's name wrong. That's not bad." Li Mu couldn't help but smile.
