Chapter 143 (Part II)

July 6 is said to be an auspicious day of the zodiac, although Zhang Shaoyu is a highly educated college graduate (although only a junior college), but each industry has its own rules, so he still agreed that Wu Daoxuan officially started on this day.

With a huge investment of 200 million, naturally we can't be sloppy. Jiuzhaigou has always been the saying of paradise on earth, with lakes, streams, pools, berths as the mainstay, the mountains and rivers are lush with trees and stones, among them, especially the travertine karst landscape dominated by the high mountain color lake and the cascading waterfall is breathtaking.

There are many peaks of more than 4000 meters on both sides of Jiuzhaigou, the primeval forest is dense and dense, covering the sky and avoiding the sun, there are many green bamboos on the post, swaying with the wind, graceful and colorful. There are 108 large and small shapes of sea children distributed in the ditch like beads, although they are more than tens of meters deep, but they can directly look at the bottom of the sea. Due to the different plant species in the water and the sediments at the bottom of the lake, the water color is different, the ripples are colorful, and the reflection in the sea is more clear and real under the morning or sunset, and the scenery is different and interesting.

Many big directors in the mainland like to choose here to shoot movies, including Zhang Yimou, Zhang Jizong, etc., and the stunning scenery of Jiuzhaigou is also well-known to the world through these movies and television. Wu Ji had already submitted an application to the scenic spot management committee in advance and paid the relevant fees.

The entire crew of "Evil God" will be filming here for a month. It stands to reason that in this paradise on earth, a place with beautiful scenery, you should enjoy it. But Zhang Shaoyu does not have this blessing, as the boss and actor of the whole drama, he is busier than anyone else.

In addition to completing his own shooting tasks, he also has to pay attention to the filming progress of the whole drama at any time, as well as the expenditure of expenses. Even if he finishes work every day, he can't rest, and since the filming of "Evil God" started in Jiuzhaigou, the media has begun to pay close attention to this matter. Now, whether it is on the Internet or in traditional media, news about Zhang Shaoyu and "Evil God" can be seen everywhere.

Although filming of "Evil God" has already begun, everyone seems to be skeptical about whether the film will succeed. That's right, Zhang Shaoyu can sing, act, and do business, but investing in movies has already learned from the past, and he still hit it head-on, could it be that his head was kicked by a donkey?

And, one of the most important reasons is that so far, not a single distribution company has expressed interest in the film. In other words, even if this film is made, if there is no distribution company to take a fancy to it, who will get it to be screened in the cinema? Also, it is impossible for a film with an investment of 200 million yuan to be released only in China, right? Who will open up the North American market? What about the European market?

But the strange thing is that since the crew of "Evil God" was stationed in Jiuzhaigou for filming, they have not made any remarks on this matter, and they have refused any media interviews, which has cast a veil of mystery over this "Evil God".

In the Chinese entertainment industry, there has never been such a unanimous focus on one thing, as if the whole world is revolving around Zhang Shaoyu alone. People want to see how many miracles this young man can make.

The set was busy, Wu Ji sat next to the camera and watched the actors in the scene intently, Zhang Shaoyu was dressed in a specially customized costume, looking elegant and handsome, and his long hair fluttered in the wind, almost covering his eyes. In his hand, he carried a long, strangely shaped blade, and looked at the opponent in front of him with a smile.

This is next to a lake, the crystal clear water of the lake reflects Zhang Shaoyu's long figure, suddenly, his feet moved, the blade in his hand was raised high, and his face with a smile just now was gloomy and terrifying.

"This kid is really good, just right. Director Wu nodded secretly while looking at the situation in the field. Zhang Shaoyu's acting skills are getting better and better, he said before that Zhang Shaoyu is a natural actor, and now it seems that this is not wrong at all.

Who is not a superstar who has been famous in the entertainment industry for many years? But when Zhang Shaoyu plays with them, he does not show any youthfulness, Zhang Chi has a degree, and even these big-name artists have expressed their appreciation, saying that the front river and the back waves push the front waves, and the future is terrifying.

"Okay, take a shot! Miss Jin, get ready, Shaoyu, change your clothes!" Director Wu stood up from the chair and yelled at everyone. In this crew, he is the absolute leader, although Zhang Shaoyu is the boss, he still has to listen to him in terms of filming.

And the kings and queens seem to have become accustomed to his "domineering" style, and no one has ever expressed dissent.

Kim Hee-sun is worthy of being the first beauty in Korea, between a smile and a smile, she reveals a taste of the country, she does not understand Chinese, so she carries a translator with her and translates the lines into Chinese to explain to her. At this time, hearing the director's order, the female translator beside her hurriedly conveyed the meaning to her.

Looking at the actor who was walking to the sidelines, Kim Hee-sun felt a little nervous in his heart. Because she knows that the actor, who has never laughed since joining the crew, is still the boss of this film.

"Shaoyu, you must pay attention to the next scene, to show that kind of artistic conception beyond the landscape, eyes and expressions are very important, you know?" Director Wu took the script and followed behind Zhang Shaoyu, and kept admonishing. Zhang Shaoyu nodded while listening, he could almost memorize the script, and he naturally knew this.

"Alright, all units ready. Wu Ji returned to his place and said loudly.

Kim Hee-sun came on the field, she was dressed in white clothes, fluttering like a fairy, and as soon as she came out, she earned all the eyeballs, and even the staff who were used to seeing big beauties in Pingsuli couldn't help but look at it twice. Zhang Shaoyu looked at her and walked over, with an outstanding temperament, if in the past, he would definitely have a beautiful meal, but now, he really doesn't have this mood.

His physical condition was deteriorating, and he could clearly feel the footsteps of death pressing on him. What he is doing now is to use all the opportunities and time available to complete this movie and fulfill his last wish.

As if to see that the heroine was a little nervous, Zhang Shaoyu showed a rare smile, although he knew that she didn't understand, he still said softly: "I have long admired Fangming." ”

Jin Xishan saw that this unsmiling boss actually smiled, although he didn't know what he said, it can be seen that his appearance was mostly words of praise and encouragement, and he immediately reciprocated with a smile, and he was charming. Even the surrounding mountains and trees seemed to fall for it at that moment.

"Sure enough, it's a beautiful woman. Zhang Shaoyu sighed secretly in his heart. Immediately, the two stood in their positions, and with Director Wu's "start", they staged a drama of love and concubine by this fairyland-like lake.

The filming work was carried out in an intense and orderly manner, and the members of the entire "Evil God" crew were under the leadership of Director Wu and did their duty. In addition to his weekday shooting work, Zhang Shaoyu rarely talks to people, and seems very silent and calm. The crew was terrified of the young boss and thought he would be difficult to approach.

Only Wu Ji knows that Zhang Shaoyu was not like this, I don't know why, his temperament seems to have changed recently.

On this day, the crew finished the day's filming work, and Zhang Shaoyu, as usual, inquired about the progress of the work and returned to the hotel. During this time in Jiuzhaigou, people can always see him in a hurry, as if he was busy alone all day.

Back in his room, Zhang Shaoyu ignored the fatigue of the whole day, made several phone calls in a row, and asked about the affairs of the Tang Dynasty Restaurant and Qiyu Xuanang Advertising Company.

Throwing the phone on the bed, Zhang Shaoyu sighed slightly and walked slowly to the window. Pushing open the window and looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, I don't know why, there was a sense of depression. Midsummer looks as bleak as late autumn. Even the beautiful scenery doesn't look like it's smelly.

Now the countdown has begun, and the two-year period is getting closer and closer. These days, I also seem to feel that my body is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid that the black and white impermanence chain has been put on my neck, right?

People are inherently dead, but when they are young, they are still cruel when they face death. However, in Zhang Shaoyu's heart, there are no regrets. The unfulfilled wishes were fulfilled one by one. The album has also come out, the concert has also been held, and the filming of "Evil God" is also intensifying, it seems that in this world, there is really nothing to regret.

"Is there really no regret?" Zhang Shaoyu asked himself in his heart.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Zhang Shaoyu looked back, and Director Wu also pushed open the door and walked in. Hehe, my teacher, as the leading director in China, is so casual, regardless of the image, and comes out shirtless.

"Oh, it's so hot in Sichuan!" Wu Ji shouted as soon as he entered the door.

Zhang Shaoyu took the remote control of the air conditioner on the cabinet next to him, and turned on the air conditioner a little more. Wu Ji rushed directly to the front of the air conditioner and exclaimed happily.

"Hey, Boss Zhang, are you still satisfied with the current work situation?" Wu Ji turned his head and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, the teacher is making fun of me again. So far, everything is going well, hey, by the way, according to your estimate, when will it be completed?" Zhang Shaoyu asked.

Wu Ji thought for a while and replied: "It's only been less than a month since filming started, and it is estimated that it will not be half a year old, and there will be computer stunt production in the later stage, publicity, etc., it is estimated that it will take ten months to a year before this film can be released." ”

Hehe, a year, I'm afraid I don't have so much time to wait. Zhang Shaoyu turned around, sat down on the sofa, tilted his head, looked at the ceiling above in a daze, thoughtful.

Wu Ji seemed to be blowing cool, and when he looked back at Zhang Shaoyu's appearance, he couldn't help but be puzzled. What the hell is wrong with this kid, it looks like he's changed for most of the past six months. I don't like to talk as much as I used to, I smile less, and I work hard every day, as if I don't have much time.

"Director Wu. While Wu Ji was pondering, Zhang Shaoyu shouted.

"Huh?" Wu Ji sat next to him, looking at him with scrutinizing eyes.

"Can you hold on a little tighter, of course, I'm talking about the premise of ensuring quality. Zhang Shaoyu asked in a consultative tone. As soon as these words came out, the doubts in Wu Ji's heart deepened. This is not like Zhang Shaoyu, although Zhang Shaoyu has always been resolute in his work, he pays attention to details and processes, and never wants to do things hastily. I directed "Evil God" this time, and I am also deliberately slowing down and striving for excellence.

Why is he asking to catch up now? No, this kid must have something to hide from himself, and he has to dig it out today.

"Shaoyu, we've known each other for more than a year, right?" Wu Ji avoided talking about Zhang Shaoyu's question just now, and asked him instead.

Zhang Shaoyu seemed to be a little surprised, sat up from the sofa, and said strangely: "Yes, it's been almost two years." Why, how did Director Wu remember to ask this question?"

"Tell me, how has my Wu treated you in the past two years?" Wu Ji was originally serious, but now he has almost become a black-faced man.

Zhang Shaoyu replied: "Director Wu is like my teacher, he has always educated me and promoted me, and I dare not forget this even if I die." ”

Hearing Zhang Shaoyu's heartfelt words, Wu Ji was very comforted, eased his expression, and said softly: "I'm very happy that you can think like this." Shaoyu, to tell you the truth, you are my most proud protégé, and I have high hopes for you. I don't just think of you as a student, you're still my friend, and we're old friends. So, if you have anything, don't hide it from me. ”

Hearing what Wu Ji meant, Zhang Shaoyu smiled slightly, lay back again, and said to him left and right: "This is natural, hey, I find Miss Jin quite interesting, look at her ......"

"Don't divert the topic, Shaoyu, let me ask you, what happened to make you become what you are now?" Wu Jina is a battle-hardened veteran, how could he let Zhang Shaoyu get through this little trick, and before he finished speaking, he had already asked closely.
