Chapter 243: Kiss the mouth, and then, run away
"This movie won't end up being made, will it?" In the hotel where he stayed, Gong Li and Chen Hong, who had read the lines again, boredly took out the poker and played the train, while casually putting the cards, Gong Li said with some worry and some complaints.
"Probably not, Sister Li, don't scare me, I came here without asking for leave from home this time. Chen Hong's big eyes flashed with a delicate little face, and he said with a little pale.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, you are her predecessor in acting, and you don't know more about things here than her." Qiao Feng glared at Gong Li angrily, and then said to Chen Hong: "I have invested everything in place, and the script has been reviewed, at most, I can't shoot in the Forbidden City, how can I say that if I don't shoot, I won't shoot, when I go back and forth to prepare for contact, it's a playhouse."
In order to shoot the last emperor Qiao Feng, he not only prepared 20 million US dollars, equivalent to 40 million yuan and 80 million Hong Kong dollars, but also asked the co-production company to contact the actors and staff of several large domestic film studios.
In addition to these, in order to restore Pu Yi's life as much as possible, Pu Yi's younger brother Pu Jie and Li Wenda, who helped Pu Yi complete his autobiography, were specially invited as consultants for the film.
The lamas in the play also invite the real lamas invited by the co-production company.
How can it be so exciting not to shoot, something that does not exist at all.
"Oh."
Chen Hong shrunk her neck timidly, and stopped talking.
Compared with Chen Hong, who was born in the water town of Jiangnan, Gong Li is much more arrogant, after spending the initial life, facing his peer Qiao Feng, who is only three years older than him, Gong Li is not afraid of him at all.
She just smiled and continued to play her cards.
"Mr. Qiao, there is a notice from the Ministry of Culture, and the application for live shooting in the Forbidden City has been approved." Section Chief Yang of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency hurriedly walked in and shouted the good news.
"Really?" Li Hanxiang got up from the sofa and asked in surprise.
"Really, and it's a live-action shot that approved the removal of all guardrails." Section Chief Yang nodded affirmatively.
"Great, great, great, haha." Li Hanxiang was so happy that he didn't know how to express his excitement, and it was so good that he could talk about it in his mouth.
Qiao Feng was also very happy to hear the news, but he was not too excited, because the filming of the last emperor of the original time and space was like this, all the scenes were cleared, all the guardrails were removed, and everything in the Forbidden City was photographed as much as possible.
As for those national cultural relics and everything, they are all left intact for the crew to use, and the dragon chair is really a dragon chair to sit on.
However, the dragon chairs placed in the Forbidden City now are not the dragon chairs that the Qing emperors sat on.
In 1915, Yuan Shikai stole the country and became the emperor, many furnishings in the Taihe Hall were demolished, and the dragon chair disappeared, but unfortunately Yuan Shikai only did 83 days as the emperor and died. However, Yuan Shikai's Western-style chair was not removed until 1947. In order to maintain the original appearance of the palace, it was decided to re-install the dragon chair. In 1959, experts from the Palace Museum saw the furnishings of the former Taihe Hall on an old photo of the 26th year of Guangxu, and searched around according to the style of the dragon chair on the photo, and finally found the dragon chair that was now placed in a warehouse where the old furniture was stored, a dragon chair belonging to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Qiao Feng didn't know why the domestic department could make the last emperor such a "three views" not popular and specialized, a large number of close-ups of the times, metaphorical movie scripts were reviewed, and there were no restrictions on the content, and the greatest support was given, emptying the Forbidden City and removing all guardrails to let the crew shoot, and it is even said that the filming period coincided with the visit of Queen Elizabeth II to China, but the film crew was given priority by the government, making it impossible for the queen to visit the Forbidden City.
Whatever the reason, Qiao Feng thinks that it is nothing more than political considerations and the identity background of a great director like Bertolucci at play.
Then Qiao Feng felt that since an Italian-led film like Bertolucci could do this, there was no reason why a Chinese like him and a Hong Kong person could not do this.
In terms of fame, it is true that Bertolucci is bigger than Li Hanxiang, but although Director Li Da's international reputation is not as good as Bertolucci, he is still superior in Southeast Asia.
In terms of identity, Bertolucci is Italian, and I heard that he still believes in Marxism-Leninism's party membership, so he naturally gets special care in such a time when he hopes to communicate with the West in China.
But Qiao Feng and Li Hanxiang's identity is not bad, Li Hanxiang's current identity is still a member of the Central Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Qiao Feng is a Hong Kong native, and he is still a very, very famous and influential person in Hong Kong.
Especially the Shaw Brothers Cinemas, which has just taken the helm of one of the three mainstream cinema chains in Hong Kong, has a huge influence.
In addition, although the Hong Kong issue has now been settled with the Sino-British joint declaration, after all, it will take more than ten years before it can be returned, and Hong Kong is still under the control of the United Kingdom.
Qiao Feng, a person who has a lot of influence and has a lot of cooperation with the mainland, and is pro-mainland has a great value for the mainland government.
To sum up, the preferential treatment that Bertolucci can get Qiao Feng feels that he is still entitled to the same treatment.
Therefore, Qiao Feng has never been too worried that his application for live shooting in the Forbidden City will be rejected, and now the facts have proved that he is qualified to get the same treatment as Bertolucci a year later in another time and space.
With the application approved, the last emperor finally ushered in the boot.
The shots that began to shoot were some scenes of Liang Jiahui who played Pu Yi and Wanrong Gongli who played the queen, and Chen Hong, who played the imperial concubine Wenxiu.
The first scene is very ashamed, a pale yellow brocade quilt is Puyi, Wanrong, Wen Xiu, a man and two women are doing indescribable things.
In this shot, Pu Yi's impotence is treated very obscurely, because Pu Yi uses his hands to satisfy Wenxiu and Wanrong.
Around the bed are several cameras, and a group of staff, lighting, silent, holding their breath and concentrating on their own business.
Gong Li was nervous for the first time, and Chen Hong, who acted in the movie for the second time, was also nervous, because although she had made a movie, the seventeen-year-old girl had never made a passion scene.
Although the whole scene does not show the flesh, and even the physical contact in the nest is avoided as much as possible, the sense of the picture requires a strong performance of lust.
The two newcomers made a lot of jokes when they filmed, and there were no less than seven or eight laughs alone, but fortunately, such a feature film was filmed with a lot of effort, and Li Hanxiang also gave considerable patience to the two newcomers, and the final effect made Li Hanxiang very satisfied, especially Gong Lina, who acted in a movie for the first time, praised her, saying that she had the aura to enter the play quickly.
In addition to this metaphor, of course, there is a more obscure shot that will be filmed in the future, that is, on the occasion of the wedding, the husband and wife should have performed the Zhou Gong ceremony, but Pu Yi ran away satisfied after a sweet lip kiss.
Kiss the mouth, then, and run away.
