Entertainment: My knife has made the whole world sad.

Chapter 155 Boss, please, be a human being!

Ten days later, Xizhou.

Green leaf town.

Lin Qiu, Kaohsiung, Li Jie, and several staff responsible for construction and renovation walked together on the streets of Green Leaf Town.

There was constant communication about the transformation of Greenleaf Town to suit the filming of the movie.

Green Leaf Town is an old community in Xizhou Law District with complete facilities.

There are probably more than 280 houses in the entire town, with a unified style and complete old facilities. From any location, you can walk to the post office, art galleries, antique shops, fashion stores, bookstores and restaurants.

And every street leads to the seaside, with unique planning.

Chang'an Film and Television Company itself also provided Lin Qiu with several community choices in the Portuguese District, Western District, and Italian District.

However, after an on-the-spot investigation, Lin Qiu decisively chose the green leaf town in the French District. This was very similar to the shooting scene of the original work in the previous life, and it only needed slight modifications before it could be put into shooting.

"The old-fashioned atmosphere here just fits the atmosphere of "The Truman."

Lin Qiu raised his hand and pointed towards the surrounding buildings.

In the past few days, Chang'an Film and Television Company will successively sign rental contracts with residents in some small towns and rent the entire Greenleaf Town as the filming location for "The Truman". This is an important expense for the filming cost of the film.

Li Jie asked:

"Director Lin Qiu, should I prefer a more comedic style? Or should I be a little more depressed?"

"I can create comedy style and depressive atmosphere."

Lin Qiu replied decisively.

The whole movie is filled with nostalgia, so Lin Qiu chose this place.

In the movie, passers-by take clumsy, false steps, and have exaggerated and old-fashioned hairstyles and clothing, which all reflect the nostalgic atmosphere of the movie.

And throughout the film, the depressive atmosphere can be said to be in sharp contrast to Truman.

"How are you going to shape it?"

"Shooting it from a camera angle is both depressing and shows that Truman is in a world under surveillance."

Lin Qiu introduced.

Hearing Lin Qiu's words, Li Jie's eyes lit up and he understood instantly, saying:

"Director Lin Qiu, you are really a genius."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Lin Qiu smiled slightly. The original movie used many camera angles to emphasize Truman's state of being observed and imprisoned.

This kind of frame layout with dark shadows surrounding the lens will also enhance the tone of the film.

And unlike the bland and excessive plot of many movies, this "Truman" can be said to be interesting throughout.

Even some seemingly "mundane" daily routines will make the audience smile because of the insertion of many advertisements or interesting actions.

The reason why this movie is set in Xizhou instead of Xiazhou actually has to do with many reasons.

First of all, the film clearly feels its satire, criticizing the current media's manipulation of society, as well as commercialism and consumerism.

Secondly, the entire plot of "The Truman" has Western religious implications.

The director symbolizes God, and Truman symbolizes the identity of the prophet and savior, just like escaping from the Garden of Eden.

If the background is changed to Xiazhou, it will certainly not have any impact on the plot.

But the depth and meaning will be greatly affected.

"Director Lin Qiu, are you sure it will start filming around November 11th?"

"Yes."

"Wow, Xiazhou Speed ​​has always been amazing. If it were to be replaced by a Xizhou movie, it would probably have to wait until at least next year before it can be launched."

Li Jie praised.

Xiazhou's speed is famous throughout the Kyushu world.

Infrastructure maniac with strong execution ability.

Unexpectedly, this was the first time I collaborated with director Xia Zhou on a film, and the efficiency was still so high.

"Boss, there are still rehearsal tasks for the Spring Festival Gala, and the time is set."

"The filming time for this movie won't be too long. The filming time of more than two months is completely timely. If it's not enough, we can reshoot it after the year. No problem."

Lin Qiu smiled.

This movie, unlike the previous ones, required constant changes of scenery to shoot.

For the entire "The Truman Show", more than [-]% of the filming locations focused on the "Peachland Town" in the movie and the "Truman Show" director's hall.

The rest of the scenes are in the audience's homes or bars, which are pretty simple.

And the entire "Truman" scene was not too difficult to shoot.

In the previous life, "The Truman" was also shot very quickly, and most of the time was spent on polishing the script and selecting the shooting location.

This year New Year's Eve is on January 1st.

This time, after returning to Xiazhou and setting up the program with the Spring Festival Gala director team, there will be the first rehearsal on January 1rd, the second time on the 23th, the third time on the 25th, the 27th is the preparation time, and the 29st It's New Year's Eve and it's officially started.

The so-called broadcast preparation time refers to the recording and broadcast preparation tapes of all programs, which can be used in case of unexpected events during the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast.

But basically this happens rarely.

After finalizing the details of the scenery, the sky gradually darkened, and Li Jie took the initiative to invite:

"You treated me to Xiazhou delicacies before in Xiazhou. Director Lin Qiu, this time when I come to Xizhou, I will definitely treat you to a meal of authentic Xizhou delicacies!"

"Then I'm welcome."

"Don't be polite!"

As Li Jie was walking, he suddenly remembered something and said to Lin Qiu:

"By the way, Director Lin Qiu, I heard that the author of "Harry Potter" is your friend. My wife and daughter are both fans of "Harry Potter". When I go back this time, can you help me get a few signed copies? Books?”

Lin Qiu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Li Jie's expectant expression.

"Have you actually seen Harry Potter?"

Li Jie nodded and said with a smile:

"When I went to see friends in Yingzhou before, my friends in Yingzhou gave me this book."

"'Harry Potter' is very popular in the UK now. After I brought it back, my daughter couldn't put it down. I only had time to finish watching the second part 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' a few days ago. Absolutely a wonderful novel.”

“There are really many treasures in the East.”

Li Jie sighed.

The more he got to know Xiazhou, the more Li Jie felt that some arrogant Westerners were really narrow-minded.

Xiazhou not only has performing artists like Chen Daohua, but also talented directors like Lin Qiu.

There are also books like Harry Potter.

Li Jie increasingly felt that there were many undiscovered treasures in Xiazhou.

Sure enough, to be able to stand firm for five thousand years must have some foundation.

"Okay, I'll look for him later."

……

The "Harry Potter" series is originally a British-style novel framework.

The "magic" in places like Xiazhou and Mizhou is not the same type of magic as the "magic" in "Harry Potter".

Therefore, Qinchuan and Xianque's goals are quite clear. The first Kyushu market will be developed in Yingzhou!

Whether it is an untranslated version or a translated version, book lovers in Yingzhou can read it without any barriers and have a great sense of immersion!

After the second volume of "Harry Potter" was published more than ten days ago, sales in the UK have been gradually increasing.

The names of "Harry Potter" appear one after another on various major novel forums and major media!

The fermentation of books is not as fast as that of movies.

However, by the end of the year at most, Qin Chuan firmly believes that "Harry Potter" will become popular in England!

The first six volumes of the "Harry Potter" series describe Harry Potter's six years of study and adventure at Hogwarts, and the seventh volume is about the battle to eliminate Voldemort.

The overall style of "Harry Potter" has gone through a process from the beginning of children's literature to the final dark style.

Starting from the fifth "Order of the Phoenix", the first knife will appear!

This knife is the very popular Sirius Black in his previous life!

First of all, the character Blake is firmly at the top of the "Harry Potter" appearance list. This is the basis of popularity! Throughout the ages, the popularity of Jiuzhou literature will not be low as long as the characters are "handsome".

What's more, Blake's character is a carefree prodigal who runs a gangland and runs a liquor store. He dares to love and hate, and enjoys grudges and grudges.

This kind of character is popular in every state, not to mention that Sirius is quite rich and full of romanticism.

Beautiful, strong, miserable.

A standard powder-attracting artifact.

The third film "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" will be released on October 10, and it will definitely attract many fans.

……

After settling some matters on the Xizhou studio, Lin Qiu and Kaohsiung boarded the plane back to Xiazhou.

In addition to participating in the Golden Phoenix Awards ceremony, there are also Spring Festival Gala programs to be finalized.

Kaohsiung asked while working:

"Boss, will the subsequent "Harry Potter" series be released in forty-nine days?"

"Well, it will be released within a year, which is just the right time."

"Look at it."

On the plane, Kaohsiung handed over the release information.

"Um……"

"Um?!"

Lin Qiu glanced at it and didn't pay attention at first.

But then his eyes widened and he looked towards the time when the fifth part would be released!

The fourth part will be released on December 12th.

The fifth part will be released on January 1 (New Year’s Eve).

Part 3, March 20th, Part 5, May 8th.

"Lunar New Year's eve?"

"Fuck!"

Lin Qiu trembled all over, and suddenly felt a chill on her back.

You know, in the fifth part, "Sirius" Black is going to be knifed!

What a coincidence, it’s on New Year’s Eve? !

Seeing Lin Qiu's expression, Kaohsiung, who knew Lin Qiu's identity as an "old thief" and the "old thief's writing skills" suddenly realized something, and asked with some uncertainty:

"boss……"

"In the fifth part, there won't be knives..."

You know, during the Chinese New Year in the past, the old thieves did a lot of "tricks"!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year the year before last, "Zhu Xian" directly stabbed Baguio, triggering a riot among "Zhu Xian" fans across the Internet.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year last year, I started "Water Changdong" directly. The miserable and miserable Yang Jian made many readers dizzy for the whole year!

This year……

It’s New Year’s Eve?

Lin Qiu's eyes were a little vacant, and he raised his head and looked at Kaohsiung.

Just at this glance, Kaohsiung knew that the boss would definitely have something in stock again this year!

And it’s in the fifth part!

"Boss, please, be a human being."

Kaohsiung smiled bitterly.

He himself is a big fan of Lin Qiu, whether it is movies or books.

Because Lin Qiu has never been very involved in entertainment activities, Kaohsiung has a lot of free time on weekdays.

In his spare time, Kaohsiung pursues them all, whether it's "The Witcher" or "Harry Potter."

"Brother Xiong, listen to me."

"If I say that this is really a coincidence and not my intention, would you believe it?"

Lin Qiu grabbed Kaohsiung's hand and said excitedly.

Lin Qiu has always thought that he is a good person.

But I have been misunderstood and have nowhere to talk.

Now, I finally have someone around me who can listen to me, prove my innocence, and wash away my grievances!

Kaohsiung's relationship with Lin Qiu is quite good on weekdays.

As soon as he heard Lin Qiu's words, Kaohsiung opened Lin Qiu's tightly clenched hands and said:

"Do not believe."

"You're my boss though."

"But I stand in the same camp as the majority of book fans!"

"you……"

"not human."

boom -

At this moment, Lin Qiu was like thunder from the sky. He leaned limply on the seat of the plane, hid his face and looked up to the sky with a sigh!

"I would have set my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!"

"I really didn't mean it!"

"Who would have thought it was such a coincidence!"

Lin Qiu, who was trembling, really felt that she was so wronged.

Now that the release dates of the "Harry Potter" series have all been announced, they cannot be changed.

It doesn’t matter if it’s two days earlier or two days later, it’s the Chinese New Year period anyway.

During the Chinese New Year, physical bookstores are not closed, so the release of books will not be greatly affected.

The factory's book transfer will be completed on the [-]th and will not affect employees' New Year celebrations.

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

Lin Qiu crossed his arms and thought.

I subconsciously wanted to blame this evil system, but the system immediately had an opinion.

The books you choose and the release time you choose are none of my business?

No wonder.

Do you blame yourself?

Lin Qiu could imagine that once Sirius died, there would be another wave of overwhelming shouts of "Kill the old thief".

"Is it my own problem?"

"Unbelievable..."

Hear Lin Qiu muttering to himself.

Kao Xiong glanced at Lin Qiu and sneered.

"Humph."

……

Another year of [Golden Phoenix Award]!

As the most valuable award among the three major film awards in Xiazhou, the issuance of the Golden Phoenix Award every year is a grand event for the entire film industry.

The number of following groups is the largest among the three major awards!

Of course, it also has the highest traffic in the [People’s Prize].

Because at the [[-] Awards], almost all active high-profile celebrities and high-profile actors will attend the red carpet and compete for beauty.

On the hot search channel, the fandom is at odds with each other, insisting on giving their idol the best red carpet title.

This year’s competition for the Golden Phoenix Award can be called the most intense competition for the Golden Phoenix Award in history!

What's even more terrifying is that among all the movies from October last year to October this year, three movies produced by Chang'an Film and Television Company are very competitive, and they are all closely related to Lin Qiu!

The three major crews of "The God of Medicine", "Hachi" and "The Suspect" gathered on the red carpet of the Golden Phoenix Awards.

The only one who can walk in a row with Chen Daohua and Jiang Han, two actor-level actors, is Lin Qiu!

"Let us welcome the crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "The Story of Hachiko"!"
