The filming in Singapore lasted another month and a half, and the scenes were still relatively scattered, and they had to go around.

But fortunately, Singapore is not a big place, and it is not particularly troublesome.

It took the most time to shoot the flying car scene on the bridge, but with local support, two helicopters were sent to assist in the shooting, and the explosives were also taken care of by them.

After all, it's on the bridge, if the explosives are not properly equipped, and if you make a mistake, you will be in trouble if you blow up someone else's bridge.

Of course, as long as it is not a tofu scum project, in terms of the explosives used in filming, there will basically be no problems, and even the road surface is intact.

Another is the naked-eye 3D performance location that was originally filmed in New York, USA, and was also filmed in Singapore.

The film has nothing to do with the United States, so there is no need to go to the United States to shoot it.

And that venue is the famous "graffiti mecca", in Queens, New York, "5 Pointz", which is called the mecca holy place of graffiti by graffiti lovers, and if you break the painting on it, you will be sued and you will have to pay money.

Later, there was a ridiculous case in which the building belonged to an owner of the United States, who also allowed outsiders to graffiti on the walls.

But then the owner wanted to convert the building into a high-end apartment and shopping mall, and when negotiations with the artists failed, he secretly covered the graffiti on the walls with white paint.

Later, 21 "graffiti artists" sued the owner in court, accusing him of violating the Visual Artists Rights Act by not giving them time to preserve their graffiti works.

Isn't it ridiculous?

Why do you scribble on old paper walls, and it's illegal to paint the walls of your own home?

Those people didn't know what they were thinking, and they even went to the court to sue them.

Even more absurd, the local court also accepted the case and finally ruled that the owner violated the interests of the artists and demanded a total of $6.7 million in compensation from the 21 "street graffiti artists".

Is the law bull in the United States bull or not?

Under the Visual Artists Bill of Rights, public artwork should be protected under the law, even if an artist works on someone else's property.

If you go to my house and paint on the wall, I can't erase it yet, and I'll lose money if I wipe it.

That person goes to the White House to scribble, can't you erase it too?

If this is a change of country, you come to my house to scribble on the wall, don't think about leaving without losing money.

It's too dangerous, if you rub off one or two works at that time, the other party will open your mouth and it will be worth millions of dollars, it's not a loss.

In fact, Singapore is not much worse than the top international cities, and it can still be photographed with that effect, and the downtown area is not low-rise buildings, so you can only shoot on high-rise buildings.

In addition to mobilizing all the actors from all over Singapore, the local people also came to watch the excitement at night, filling the rooftops of almost five or six nearby buildings.

......

At the end of March, Tang An returned to the capital with the crew, and there were still some indoor scenes and those two large-scale magic shows.

These can all be filmed in the mainland, especially the magic trick of robbing the bank, which is finally reserved for the finale scene, and recruits group performances from all over the country, and does not pay them, so that they can spontaneously promote the movie.

Calculate that the time is almost the end of April, or the beginning of May, and then there are still two months before the release, and the time is about the same, and you can start to warm up the promotion.

After returning to the capital, Tang An did not shoot immediately, and first gave the crew a three-day vacation, all of which were slowed down.

The climate and diet of Southeast Asia are very different from those in China, especially in the north

Half a world smaller.

Tang An was treated so well, as soon as he came back, he didn't rest, so he flew to Ningxia, where the crew of "Painted Skin" filmed the final location scene.

At this time, Yang Mi and Zhao Wei had already finished, and the crew would have nothing to do, so Tang An didn't go to the location, but went directly to Ningxia Film Studio and met Pang Hong.

"Mr. Tang is here, welcome Mr. Tang to inspect the work!"

"Hello Mr. Pang!" Tang An smiled and shook his hand.

"Mr. Tang, please come in, is "Shocking Demon Thieves" finished?"

Pang Hong led Tang An in and asked curiously.

"There are still some indoor scenes that have not been filmed, so let everyone rest for two days first, and if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Tang An smiled.

"That's right, that's the truth, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, besides, Mr. Tang, you won't be in a hurry to release it in the summer. Pang Hong said casually, also observing Tang An's reaction.

He doesn't care when Tang An's new film will be released, but there is "Red Cliff" in the summer file, and he also invested 30 million in "Painted Skin" in the National Day file, and Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" in the New Year file.

None of the three major schedules have an excellent period, although there are two months for the Chinese New Year, in fact, the best time is still in December, which will inevitably overlap with "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", I just want to know Tang An's choice.

"Yes, it's still a long time, don't rush this time. Tang An snorted, didn't continue the topic, and said, "Mr. Pang, where is the film of "Painted Skin", can you let me take a look first?"

"Of course, we have to let Mr. Tang palm the palm of our eyes first and give us editors a little advice. ”

Tang An followed Pang Hong to the editing room, except for the location scenes in the desert, the films of other scenes have been glued to magnetic.

He didn't politely open it directly, and the photographer and gaffer behind him didn't make any small moves, but Zou Xun and Zhao Wei stealing the scene was still relatively obvious.

Doing so undoubtedly caused a lot of trouble in post-production.

It took more than an hour to go through the film, and Tang An turned off the computer.

"Mr. Tang, I also know about the set, how do you see the rest of Wu Ershan's films?"

Pang Hong still has some distrust of Wu Ershan.

Tang An waved his hand and smiled, "Mr. Pang can rest assured, Director Wu still has the ability, after all, it is the first time to shoot a feature-length movie, lack of experience, and he is much more immature in front of Zou Xun, Zhao Wei, and the old fritters in the crew, but fortunately, it doesn't have much impact, but you have to pay more attention when editing, and it is estimated that it will take more time!"

It's normal for every industry to bully newcomers.

Wu Ershan is not like Tang An, who has the ability to govern the first crew well.

Zhang Yimou participated in the shooting of many films before making his first movie, and he still held such an important position as a photographer, and he had Wu Tianming by his side.

A photographer is half a qualified gaffer, and basically all parts of the crew are clear.

Although Chen Kaige had no work experience in other crews before becoming a director, his father was a director, grew up on the set, and also worked in the Beijing Film Printing Factory for two years.

Moreover, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and He Yu, who were still in Guangqi Factory at the time, were selecting scenes in the northwest, and they had no money on them, and they were hungry and tired and couldn't hold on, so they found Wu Tianming on crutches.

After Wu Tianming found out, he lent them 2,000 yuan and coordinated a jeep from the crew to them.

With the full assistance of Wu Tianming, these three people were able to shoot "Yellow Earth", which is known as the fifth generation of pioneering works.

Pang Hong would be relieved to have Tang An's words, if Tang An wasn't busy with the new film now, he really wanted him to edit it himself.

"Mr. Pang, let the professional editors of your factory come to the editing matter, handle the details a little better, it doesn't matter if you prefer to be slow, just notify me after the streamlining is completed!"

It is impossible to give Wu Ershan the editing right, or wait for him to shoot "Knife and Laugh" and save more experience, and then dare to hand over the second part to him with confidence.

In the evening of the same day, Tang An left Ningxia and flew back to the capital.

I flew three times a day, and I was really close to becoming a trapeze.

I went back to Xu Yanyun's house at 8 o'clock, and fell asleep after eating, I was too tired.

Early the next morning, Xu Yanyun reported to Tang An about the two projects of "People in Embarrassment" and "Wolf Teeth".

"I have already taken down the script of "People in Embarrassment" over there in Jiangcheng Huaqi, and I bought the script for 120,000 quick money. ”

Xu Yanyun looked at Tang An very strangely as she spoke, making Tang An inexplicable.

"What's the matter, the other party agreed to sell the script?"

Xu Yanyun shook her head, "The script is not theirs at all, it was created by a Shengtang studio and wanted to sell it to them, how did you know about this film?"

"It's quite a thing, but I heard someone mention it by chance, saying that this script is good. Tang An said casually.

"When I went at that time, the other party still turned out of a large stack of scripts, saying that he was willing to make a joint venture, but I could see at a glance that the other party did not attach importance to this script at all, and it happened that the script also had the name of the other party's studio, and after leaving, I asked someone to find this studio and bought it out for 120,000 yuan. ”

Xu Yanyun didn't delve into it, and continued, "If you don't have to copyright, it's enough to delay for a while." ”

,,,,That's a bit embarrassing.

Tang An remembered that this book had already reached Huaqi at this time, but he didn't expect it to be sold yet.

Shengtang Studio is Tian Yusheng, the director of the "Former Raiders" series, a young man majoring in literature.

Tang An shook his head, didn't think about anything else, and took the script over and read it.

"Once you get the script, go to Xu Zheng and ask him if he is willing to direct and act by himself, and the production cost will be controlled at about six or seven million. ”

"But he has no directing experience, although he is more suitable for the actor, and his personal style is a bit funny. Xu Yanyun questioned.

Six or seven million, although it is not worth mentioning compared to Tang An's movie, it is not a small number.

"Don't worry, he used to direct and act in the Modu Drama Center, and he has four or five directorial experiences, and there are some similarities between drama and film. ”

Although the original "People in Embarrassment" was directed by Ye Weiming, Xu Zheng still participated in the filming of some scenes.

And Xu Zheng also changed the script, but it was temporarily changed during filming, and Hua Qi did not accept his script suggestion before.

Speaking of Huaqi, it is really a good card to be broken, and this is no one.

Let's not care who is right and who is wrong between them and Xu Zheng, just look at what the court announced.

In August 2010, Tian Yusheng sold the script of "People in Embarrassment 2" to Hua Qi, and in September, Hua Qi sent the script outline to Xu Zheng.

In October, Xu Zheng set up a script "People in the Embarrassment" in Optoelectronics, and the screenwriter signed him and Yang Qing.

In December, the filing of "People in the Embarrassment City" was revoked again.

These two scripts are definitely not the same, otherwise it would be impossible to establish a project.

In May 11, the filming permit for "People in Embarrassment 2" has come down, and it has not been filmed.

On August 9, 12, Guangxian had already filmed "Thai Embarrassment", and at this time, he applied to Optoelectronics to change the name to "Thai Embarrassment of People Again", and then it will be released in December.

Then he was sued by Huaqi and claimed 100 million yuan.

The lawsuit was won, but the court only awarded Guangxian 5 million in compensation, and no longer used the name of "People Are Embarrassed to Travel", and changed it to the original "Thai Embarrassment".

The specific circumstances of the incident are unknown, and they are all their words, but judging from the information released by the court, the film that Guangxian approved was "Thai Embarrassment", which was renamed "Thai Embarrassment" when there were still four months left in the release, saying that it was not for the sake of promoting ghosts.

Of course, anyone would do this if it were a different thing, and it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong.

And Huaqi is also enough, I don't know what contradictions they have with Xu Zheng, is it important to make money if there are contradictions, they have to get people away.

"Since you insist on letting him direct and act by himself, then I'll contact him, do you want to meet him?" Xu Yanyun still nodded and agreed.

"You just need to come forward, just wait for him to change the crew and show me a look, this film is not in a hurry, give him a year and a half, and it will be enough to get it done during the Spring Festival in 10 years, this comedy movie about the Spring Festival should be good if it is released in the New Year. ”

"I didn't have time for the next few months, filming, publicity, editing, preparing for the release, a lot of things, let's talk about it when I have time. ”

Tang An rubbed his head, he was busy enough this year.

"And "Wolf Teeth", has Wu Jing done it?"

"It's negotiated, the production cost of 3 million, Wu Jing has just set up a Dengfeng International Film Company in the name of her sister, the other party will pay 1 million, and we will pay 2 million, accounting for 70% of the income"

Xu Yanyun paused and continued, "But I privately promised to hand it over to Huayi for distribution." ”

"I'll mention this then. Tang An nodded, there is nothing wrong with releasing a low-budget movie.

"If the investment is not enough, you can add another 500,000. At the end, Tang An added.

Originally, because "Wolf Teeth" had no money to buy insurance, there were many action scenes that were not filmed, and it was only a matter of hundreds of thousands anyway.

"Is there anything else? I should go to Huayi, and the small-scale publicity in the early stage can start first. ”

"It's nothing, it's just that "Painted Skin" is a little overrun, and the publicity budget may not be enough, and there is only 6 million publicity money left. Xu Yanyun thought for a while and said.

"Then add 2 million, didn't Xingyang divide 12 million, they all have money in their hands. Tang An said while getting dressed.

There are almost no opponents in the National Day file of "Painted Skin", and the 8 million publicity fee should be almost enough.

"You communicate with Hua Yi more about publicity, I don't have much energy to care about this until the film comes out for the time being, follow along. ”

Xu Yanyun nodded, "Well, I know, your previous videos have been posted on the Internet, and now most of the audience is disappointed." ”

"The more disappointed you are now, the more you will be surprised when the time comes, this is a good thing, you find two media, write some advertorials, and write that my magic movie is no different from street magic or something. ”

"Okay, I'll prepare. ”

"Then I'll go to work first!"

...........

I still couldn't finish it before 12 o'clock,,,
