Andy Lau has many friends in the circle, but most of them are in Hong Kong.

The Mandarin level of Hong Kong actors is probably as follows: Da Tie is good, I am Yu Tianle, I am four scum scum Hui, Tan Wan Lazy Moon, the new version of the boat that has not been saved in Jiesili, squeeze to experience three bells, Li Zao will me, love elephant festival game...

Even the oral broadcast is so bad!

Mandarin is a language, and it is not difficult to speak it well.

External guidance + lots of practice may not be standard, but everyone can understand what you can say!

Coupled with the fact that the people around me all speak Mandarin, the context is very strong, and the same set of characters is used, it is even less difficult.

Even those foreign stars who are studying temporarily can say that they can say that they are slippery, such as Hwang Chi-yeul, during the participation in "Singer", they can basically communicate normally.

Lin Yun'er, in order to participate in an interview with Kuaiben and Sina, practiced all night, and the effect was very obvious, and she spoke very fluently.

It's our turn to be some Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, why can't we say it badly?

No motivation for it!

You can make money while sitting, why do you work hard to practice him, film and television dramas are fully dubbed, and poor Mandarin in variety shows has become a selling point.

But something is strange, you can accept RMB checkout, but you don't want to learn Mandarin?

According to the setting of "Rescue Mr. Wu", Mr. Wu's friend is an authentic Beijinger, so it is not suitable to find a Hong Kong actor...

Andy Lau recommended Ning Hao.

It's quite suitable, Ning Hao looks old...

However, this guy is busy doing the post-production of "Racing", and it is okay to take a day to make a cameo appearance in one or two scenes, and play a supporting role that is not light...

He's afraid he won't...

Not everyone wants to be an actor!

......

That's true, Lu Xiaoran dialed Ning Hao's phone and talked to him about acting in this play, but Ning Hao didn't want to refuse directly...

"Lao Ning, you come to our show, let's play together!"

“... I'm the director!"

"You are Andy Lau's designated actor, Brother Hua wants to officially work with you once, can't you give him this face?"

"I..."

"What do you say all day long Without Andy Lau's new Asian star director, there would be no "Stone", just talking about it and not practicing is useless!"

"I really can't do it, I have a few pounds and a few taels, I know it myself..."

“... But Andy Lau thinks you can do it, and I think you can, and let me tell you, acting is actually quite simple..."

It's a pity, no matter what Lu Xiaoran says, Ning Hao still refuses to let go.

"Why don't you look for Guo Tao? Isn't he quite suitable?"

“... Bye-bye!"

Guo Tao?

That's a good idea!

Lu Xiaoran immediately put the phone away, and then dialed Guo Tao, although the latter was willing, he was also very tight.

After taking the lane of "Stone", Guo Tao overtook in a corner and picked up seven or eight movies, most of which were the image of Bao Shihong in "Stone"...

As long as the actor has a memorable role, then he can eat to his heart's content!

The entire 'Stone Gang', except for Lu Xiaoran, who changed his acting path, most of the actors are following the old path, Liu Hua, Guo Tao and even Huang Bo have taken on a series of roles corresponding to the image of "Stone"...

After thinking about it, Lu Xiaoran said: "This role is not very tight, five days is enough!"

"And you don't have to shoot it all in one sitting!"

"Okay!"

Having said so, of course Guo Tao agreed.

Okay, the main cast has been chosen, it's time to set up the project studio!

......

The studio system was originally a common practice for major Hollywood companies, and it was later introduced into China.

Whenever there is a project with a high investment in the project, the production company will set up a corresponding studio to coordinate the funding, preparation, personnel, shooting, advertising, sponsorship and peripheral work of the film, and some studios that sell movies can often exist for several years or even more than ten years.

"Rescue Mr. Wu" is not a small project, there are five investors behind the scenes: Golden Shield Film and Television, Pony, Media Asia, China Film, and Orange Images.

But it is impossible for these five production companies to revolve around "Rescue Mr. Wu", if nothing else, let's just say that China Film, the focus of this year's work must be "Red Cliff", so what should I do?

The studio was born in response, and each sent a few people to join the production team, not only to assist in the filming, but also to supervise - a pair of cloth shoes for 3,000 yuan, a straw hat for 7,000 yuan to find out!

Chief Producer Han Sanye...

Of course, the third master is very busy and is unlikely to care about everything.

It's kind of nominal.

The production director is Zhong Lifang.

Generally speaking, producers and investors will look for a trustworthy production director, and when the script is written and ready to be put into the filming stage, the production director will take office.

The first thing the production director did after taking office was to give a rough budget based on the content of the script.

The bosses all "want the horses to run fast, and they want the horses not to eat grass", how to minimize the cost depends on the ability of the production director.

Zhong Lifang has this ability!

The hotel she arranged for the crew was five-star, but the crew didn't spend a penny - on the condition that the subtitles at the end of the movie were written thanks to XX Hotel for sponsorship...

That's a seven-figure savings on that alone!

Every time Lu Xiaoran has any request, she will ask her to mention it, and she will be responsible for conveying it to the investor...

The preliminary preparations are progressing very quickly, and Lu Xiaoran has a work as a foundation, with a deep background in Chinese film, and it also has a strong appeal in the industry.

At the end of April, contracts were signed for photography, sets, lighting, makeup, costumes, art direction, etc., most of which were people who regularly work with China Film.

Not only that, but actors have also joined the group one after another.

With the support of the Ministry of Public Security, "Rescue Mr. Wu" can be filmed on location, the location survey part is progressing smoothly, and the storyboard script has been completed.

It's almost ready to shoot.

At the same time, the news about "Rescue Mr. Wu" also began to be exposed, for example, Lu Xiaoran made a special trip to the backstage of Andy Lau's Hohhot concert to discuss the script with him...

What's more' The reporter learned that the production cost of "Rescue Mr. Wu" was close to 60 million, and he sweated for Lu Xiaoran...'

By the way, blow a wave of Andy Lau - 'Because of a letter, a Chinese fan in Hohhot wrote to Andy Lau, saying that his family was poor and looked down on his concert, and asked Andy if he could change his name in the next life, and he was still called Andy Lau, and he might have the money to go to Andy's concert in his next life, so the first of Andy Lau's concert in 2008 was set in Hohhot...'

In short, some of them are not arranged!

Fans who are interested in the film are guaranteed to be the first to know about the process...

It's all true, Lu Xiaoran did fly to Hohhot to find Andy Lau, watched him sign an actor contract, and then determined his time to join the group.

By the way, Andy Lau also invited the main creative team of "Rescue Mr. Wu" to watch "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor"...

It is the premiere of the Beijing station.

"I want to thank director Li Rengang, he knew that I always wanted to play Zhao Yun, so he made such a scene!"

On the premiere stage, Andy Lau said to a group of reporters with a smile...
