Chapter 22: The Great Earthquake has nothing to do with me... (5/5)
When "The Great Earthquake" was launched, Feng Xiaogang once said cruelly to the media: The box office must exceed 500 million!
also emphasized: In the past, after I said the box office of every movie, I did not break my promise once, and always broke the box office record.
At that time, "Avatar" had not yet been released, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" was the national box office champion, and the goal of 500 million looked ambitious...
Right now...
It's embarrassing, the box office of "Big Man" has been close to 600 million...
The rhetoric of 500 million doesn't look so heroic...
The most important thing is that Feng Xiaogang's so-called box office record was broken by others...
At the premiere ceremony of "The Great Earthquake", a bunch of media asked Feng Xiaogang about the topic of "Big Man" breaking the record of mainland film history.
Feng Xiaogang said angrily: "There are a bunch of artificial rumors on the Internet, and I hereby declare that I have never made any comments on "Big Man". ”
"And what do you think of this movie?"
I can say a few words, I bought a ticket and watched it, and I was happy, congratulations to Yang Qing and Lu Xiaoran for winning the box office. I also came there by calling there, and the road is still long, so keep up the good work. ”
You see, that's a good way to say it - I'm going to hit that, too...
However, Lu Xiaoran knows that "The Great Earthquake" will definitely be a big hit: "Tangshan Earthquake" has the participation of the General Administration and government investment, which means that this film is not a commercial film in nature, and the support of the political axe is far greater than that of "Big Man"...
The auxiliary device told him that the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake" was 673 million - from the date of release, there was no work worth paying attention to in the entire schedule.
"Big Man" finally met "The King of Guns", "Hee Travel", "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance 2"...
Sure enough, the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake" surpassed "Avatar" with 36.2 million on the first day, and exceeded 160 million in the first four days of the first weekend...
The press release reads like this: Since "Avatar" opened on Monday in the mainland, it is impossible to compare the two films with the box office of the first weekend, but according to the data provided by Huayi Brothers, the single-day box office of "The Great Earthquake" reached 52.5 million yuan last Saturday, creating the largest single-day box office of a Chinese film in the mainland...
The goal is "Avatar"...
didn't take "Big Man" seriously at all.
By the way, on July 26th, "Big Man" was released - there is no film scheduled, why are you holding on?
The cumulative box office is 596 million...
......
Lu Xiaoran was busy filming "33 Days of Broken Love", and he didn't have time to pay attention to the news from the outside world, his Weibo, a bunch of netizens @him, asked him to talk about his views on "The Great Earthquake".
What can he think, he hasn't seen it yet!
The director of "33 Days", Su Lun is after all directing independently for the first time, and many times he will make some low-level mistakes.
Lu Xiaoran held back at first, and didn't tell her secretly until she was resting.
Later, she learned to be smart, and before every shooting, she would first ask Lu Xiaoran's opinion, neutralize the two, and then shoot.
The result is that the crew has a lot less useless work, and the actors don't need to repeat the performance three times in one shot!
There is also the fact that the crew doesn't seem to respect her as a director very much...
There are already many staff members and actors whispering about Lu Xiaoran and Su Lun's abilities.
Obviously, Lu Xiaoran is a grade higher than Su Lun.
The whole filming process is a bit like Lu Xiaoran taking Su Lun...
If you change the arrogant director, you may not be able to accept it - this is my work, I am the director, you are just an actor, why do you control the crew?
Suren...
She didn't have any awareness of this at all, on the contrary, she felt that she had taken advantage of it - there were not many opportunities to be taught by Lu Xiaoran personally!
Lu Xiaoran knew that Su Lun would make "Living Together in Time and Space" in the future, which would create a box office miracle, and she was a very talented and thoughtful female director, so she was very relieved...
It's just that it still needs to be tuned.
I always feel that this girl has great potential!
Well, to put it a little dirty, a man with a big and good life, when he sees a famous treasure hole, he wants to pounce and stab it twice...
At three o'clock in the morning, on the street in front of the hotel, the crew assembled.
The reason why this time period was chosen is because there are fewer cars and fewer people, so it is easy to close the streets.
The plot of the filming is that Huang Xiaoxian desperately chased Lu Ran's taxi, and then was stopped by Wang Xiaobei and woke her up with a slap...
Lu Xiaoran was a little nervous, this was the first time he slapped Sugar Candy in the play...
Not only in the play, but also in life, he has never done it!
Sugar candy feels okay, I've acted in a lot of similar plots before...
The night in late July is not cold at all, which is also the biggest benefit of filming the night scene of "33 Days of Broken Love".
Suren stood behind the director's monitor.
The prop master, photographer, and scene manager are in charge of scene improvement.
"Lights, OK!"
"The camera is in place!"
“Action!”
Tangtang immediately entered the state, with a pleading expression on his face, and a lot of liquid in his eyes, wearing high heels and desperately chasing the taxi in front of him...
The image you see from the monitor is different from the real picture when you shoot it.
Although the swing of Tangtang's body is very large, the speed is not very fast, and the cameraman is hunched over and carries the camera desperately back...
Finally, the traffic light at the street entrance in front of her was on, the taxi stopped, Tangtang's eyes lit up obviously, and she was about to speed forward, Lu Xiaoran rushed over, trying to stop her, but she didn't succeed, and she broke free: "You let go of me, car... The car is leaving, I'm running out of time..."
"Calm down... Calm down..."
Sugar Candy deaf and continues to struggle...
Lu Xiaoran raised his right hand, "Smack!"
The crisp and loud slap sound is particularly prominent throughout the street, and even echoes...
Tangtang was directly stunned...
Scenes such as slapping, slapping in the face, or scuffling are rarely actually used.
Especially the film industry of later generations.
The little flowers have such precious faces, how can they be spoiled casually?
So, when you encounter this kind of scene, either you will borrow a position, or simply find a stand-in...
Refer to "Lonely Empty Garden", the scene where the frost girl is beaten - the big guys are on the picture!
Before filming, Lu Xiaoran told Tangtang that he had to really slap him to save trouble...
When it came to the official shooting, Lu Xiaoran was also really ruthless, and the slap wheel was very strong!
Tangtang was stunned for a moment, fortunately, this paragraph doesn't need lines, she just needs to keep her head down and make a clear appearance, of course, it's best to cry a few times...
"Are you awake?"
"Hmm..."
"When you're awake, go home and sleep!"
"Click..."
Su Lun shouted, looked at the monitor, and nodded: "Okay, this is over!"
Lu Xiaoran hurriedly hugged Tangtang and looked down at her face...
It's ok, it's not swollen much.
Sugar candy don't turn her face and don't let him look at it...
Su Lun leaned over and said, "You are so ruthless!"
“... No, let's say okay, I'll slap hard and try to get through..."
"Then you are ruthless!"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong... I'm going to give you a slap?"
