Chapter 800 "Avatar" Heroine Controversy!

Two weeks later.

domestic.

Zhangjiajie, Hunan, Huangshizhai Scenic Area.

This place is the essence of the Zhangjiajie tourist area. There has always been a saying that "if you don't go to Huangshizhai, you will go to Zhangjiajie in vain".

The highest altitude of Huangshizhai reaches more than 1200 meters. It is a platform that is high in the south and low in the north formed by many cliffs. There are also many natural landscapes here. , are all the uncanny workmanship of nature.

On the southeast side of Huangshizhai Mountain Road, there is a gate of more than ten square meters of sloping rock peaks and Qianren stone wall. There is an opening facing the south, and the stone path passes through the gate. There is the statue of the Nantianmen in mythology.

What's even more amazing is that a strange rock protrudes from the right side of the Nantian Gate, which is similar to a human body, about 20 meters high, and looks majestic and majestic, like a general guarding the Tianmen.

So this stone gate is called "South Heaven Gate".

At this time, outside Nantianmen, a very ordinary off-road vehicle was parked.

There were four people standing outside the car, one of them was Li Zhifan, and the other three were Americans with fair hair and fair skin.

"There is no car to go here, but there is a cable car, and you can walk about 120 meters to reach the Nantianyizhu. This time, we are shooting along the road. We need a lot of material, so the shooting must be consistent. Do you understand?" Li Zhifan asked the three of them He said, they were cameramen invited by Li Zhifan, and they were all well-ranked and well-known cameramen from the film guild.

The equipment in everyone's hands is the most advanced shooting equipment in the world, and all kinds of lenses are available.

"OK!"

The three of them made gestures, and seeing such a beautiful scenery, they were so amazed that they were eager to take pictures.

There were many tourists at this time, but no one recognized Li Zhifan, because he had a hat on his head, a scarf around his head, and sunglasses hanging on the bridge of his nose. At first glance, he looked like a tourist from the Middle East.

Moreover, there are many foreigners who come here to travel, so these three Yankees are not so surprising.

The shooting was discussed with the scenic spot in advance, but Li Zhifan asked them to keep it secret and refused any security measures from them. If there were bodyguards shouting and hugging, tourists would definitely be curious and suspicious. Exposure, this place will definitely be surrounded.

"This scenery is really good!"

The three Yankees took pictures all the way, and praised them all the way.

The shooting method of the three people is a combination of movement and stillness, shooting videos for a while, and taking photos for a while. Speaking of which, their workload is very heavy. Although only Zhangjiajie in China and Sequoia Forest Park in the United States were selected for the global framing work, the video probably takes More than 1 segments were taken, and [-] photos were taken.

With this amount, Li Zhifan doesn't know if he can completely restore the scenes in the original drama. After all, the most outstanding and brilliant part of the original drama is the landscape. It is more difficult to restore the original model than to directly find the scene.

"Do you know Zhang Liang?"

Along the way, Li Zhifan chatted with these three Yankees. Otherwise, the four of them just took pictures and didn't talk all the way, which would arouse some people's speculation and suspicion.

"Zhang Liang?"

"do not know!"

"I know, I know, it seems to be a mythical figure in China!"

"That's just a folklore!" Li Zhifan laughed, "Zhang Liang was a genius in the late Qin and early Han Dynasties, a capable man, strategist and military strategist. He helped Liu Bang become emperor."

"Oh, I know Liu Bang, I've seen a movie you made, it's about Liu Bang, it's called White Revenge!"

"Ah? Hahaha!" Li Zhifan couldn't help laughing. The English name of the movie "White-Vengeance" he mentioned came from the movie's English name "White-Vengeance". In fact, the Chinese name of this movie is "Hongmen Banquet".

As for why it was translated into "White Revenge", Li Zhifan didn't know, and he didn't have time to investigate, but he still told the three people the story.

"It's digressing, we're talking about Zhang Liang, do you know who Zhang Liang is now?"

"Oh, I know! Secretary of State of the United States!"

"Should it be the Minister of Defense?"

"It's the Secretary of State!"

"..."

The three were tangled, but Li Zhifan bypassed the topic and said: "In short, no matter what position he is equivalent to in the United States, after he succeeded, he did not covet power and position, but came to this place to live in seclusion, and met here. Huangshigong, Huangshigong, you must not know, is a Taoist god, and according to folklore, Zhang Liang followed this Huangshigong to practice immortality and attain Taoism."

"Then did he become a god in the end?"

The three asked questions almost at the same time, and were very curious about this question.

Li Zhifan smiled bitterly: "Are there really gods in this world?"

"I believe in God, I think there are, you must have gods in the East!"

"Me too, it's a belief."

"..."

What Li Zhifan wanted to say was that Zhang Liang had practiced here, but what the three of them were struggling with was whether there were gods in China, and whether this Huangshizhai was the place where gods lived and practiced. Can I accidentally get the secret book of immortality here...

Material shooting cannot be completed in a day.

The workload of collecting materials was very heavy. On the first day, the four of them photographed 23 pieces of 256G memory cards.

But this is only part of it. According to this work schedule, it will take at least two weeks to shoot to achieve the set goal.

And today I only photographed the scenic spot of Nantian Yizhu. In the Zhangjiajie Scenic Area, there are other scenic spots such as Yuanjiajie and Yaozizhai to be photographed.

The most important thing is that Li Zhifan can only accompany them to shoot for two days, and then he will go to shoot "Extreme Challenge", which takes about three days to go back and forth. Fortunately, "Extreme Challenge" was filmed in Hunan, and the journey has not been very far .

……

United States.

Both the first season of "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Zootopia" have already started.

Li Zhifan doesn't need to worry about these two projects, because the basic character image and script have been determined in the early stage, even if the details are slightly different from the original version, it will not hurt.

Unlike "Avatar", Li Zhifan had to do it himself, and he strictly checked every detail from the beginning to the end.

But the current participating members of "Avatar" also encountered a dilemma now, that is, Li Zhifan has taken a few photographers out to collect materials, leaving them wondering what to do.

Do storyboards?
Li Zhifan said, wait until he comes back.

casting?
Li Zhifan said, wait until he comes back.

Starting to round out the team?
Li Zhifan said it, let's wait for him to come back.

In fact, the production team of "Avatar" now has a total of more than a dozen people, and two-thirds of them are special effects technicians, and there are two assistants, but after all, the project has been approved, and everyone does nothing. People have just been poached into a new company, and they are working with the company's second-in-command and world-renowned director. Who doesn't want to express themselves? ,

It was not until a week later that Li Zhifan's video call came back.

"We've finished filming some of the footage, and now it's time for Klaus to bring it back to the United States. He will arrive at Los Angeles Airport in about 10 hours. You can receive it, then classify the footage and mark it with a serial number, OK?"

"OK!"

As soon as they heard that there was a job to do, everyone in the entire office was overwhelmed, just like the employees of other companies heard that there was a holiday. Here it is just the opposite, which is quite strange.

I thought it was an easy job, but when I actually received these memory cards, everyone collapsed again.

There are so many video and picture materials. Just looking at one card at random is a huge workload, and some of them even took pictures of tourists. In addition, the materials that were repeatedly shot will not be mentioned, which is not a small part. .

However, they also knew that the background of these materials would be scenes from movies in the future, so they treated them with extra seriousness and care, and after seeing these unearthly natural landscapes, they were also amazed, and they wished they were the ones who followed Li Zhifan.

Because in their opinion, going out for a stroll, taking photos and videos is better than staying in the office, right?

But Klaus, who just came back, didn’t think so. After putting down all the materials, he lay down on the company’s public relations bench and fell asleep. His fatigue was not only due to flying or jet lag, but because of this week’s Accumulated over time, compared to when he walked, he felt that he had lost ten catties.

In China, the original three Li Zhifans are still there, but the filming team is more than three people, because Li Zhifan directly recruited a group of filming teams from China, and he and two other Yankees took on the role of commanding.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you open your head well, the end will be smooth.

Just like the work of filming and collecting materials, after gaining experience, the two Yankees are unwilling to do it all by themselves, and after learning something from Li Zhifan, they are also handy in directing.

……

In the entertainment circle.

Li Zhifan seemed to have disappeared. From the three or four news a day when he held a concert in Hung Hom, it suddenly became less, especially after the news that he was going to shoot the "Avatar" movie, he disappeared directly. Know what he's doing.

But at this time, it has already belonged to the timeline of Oriental Entertainment Group and released two albums.

One is Li Zhifan's Cantonese compilation album, 21 Cantonese songs sung at the Hung Hom concert, released publicly in the form of a digital album, and free trial listening on the entire network.

The other one is the classic compilation album of Li Zhifan's 7-year debut.

To say that Li Zhifan’s classic songs are almost every one, and it can even be said that none of them are not classics. However, it is not easy to collect more than a dozen songs from so many classics to make a compilation album.

The appearance of this compilation album is because after the integration, Dongfang Entertainment took the first step in music, and will release a compilation album for all the singers under the company.

Newcomers with few songs and only a few songs are multi-person compilations, and those who have debuted for many years with many songs have separate compilations. Li Zhifan and Zhao Xuexin are both qualified to release separate compilations.

Of course, some netizens also commented on this behavior as Dongfang Entertainment’s giving money to itself in terms of music. This is still the case that the album is not charged. If it is going to be sold as a physical album, then there will be an additional evaluation of making money.

After the filming in China, Li Zhifan returned to Los Angeles immediately. On the return flight, he heard his "new compilation album". Awesome, doesn't look like a new company at all.

This also made him curious, which planning company did Dongfang Entertainment hire to do it, or is it that its own planning is so good?

But he can't think about these things now.

Back in Los Angeles, Li Zhifan hurried to William Entertainment for the second meeting since the formation of the "Avatar" team, and almost a month has passed since the first time.

"The framing work is all over. Whoever is in the post-production process is likely to make up for the framing, but the second step we have to do right now is casting!"

Li Zhifan said, "The casting work has officially started. I hope everyone will participate. On behalf of "Avatar" and Oriental Entertainment, we will send invitation letters to the Hollywood Screen Actors Union. They can recommend them, or if you have any good candidates. Report it, and then I will send someone to talk about it, as for the heroine..."

When he said this, Li Zhifan slowed down his speech, and said, "That's what I thought, why don't we hold an online voting, let netizens participate in the voting, how about choosing our heroine?"

"what?"

Everyone is very surprised, because now all netizens are still complaining about the concept map of the heroine of "Avatar". Although it is much smaller than when it was just announced, it is not low.

If you allow netizens to vote, and a group of them play pranks, what if the ones chosen are not very suitable in the end?
"Although it is a free will vote of the people, we have the final right of interpretation!"

Li Zhifan said confidently, "And during the whole process, we had many opportunities to play tricks behind the scenes, such as screening out unattractive, fat, short, etc. who do not fit the heroine's styling."

"Won't this...will be questioned by the public?"

Someone asked, "Should we get rid of these people at the beginning, or slowly get rid of them in the middle?"

"Of course it's halfway!"

Li Zhifan said, "We can do the elimination, first select 50, and then eliminate one every day, after about a month or so, we will be able to meet our heroine!"

"And in this month, we have a lot of things to do, interviewing and casting other characters, sorting our material, and I'm going to start making music for the film."

The workload has increased all of a sudden, but Li Zhifan obviously has no intention of adding team members.

Because in his opinion, there is no need to add people at this time. If it is really unavoidable, he can send people from William Entertainment to help.

The next morning.

The online voting for the heroine of "Avatar" was officially announced and launched immediately.

At the same time, Oriental Entertainment teamed up with hundreds of media from all over the world to report the ticket frantically.
