Chapter 3: The Matrix is on!

Before 2001, the Minghu culture was throwing money around. Reading at zero X

At that time, the land price and housing prices of Shuntianfu had begun to rise wildly, and many ordinary people and even many professionals believed that this price had risen almost, and it was impossible to rise again, and it would only fall in the future.

Li Qian doesn't care about that, he personally, as well as Minghu Culture, have taken out the idle funds in his hands, enclosing the landOf course, he is not ready to change his career to become a real estate developer, taking advantage of this wave of real estate price increases to make a profit, he buys every piece of land for a purpose.

Near the Fourth Ring Road, the transportation is convenient, and the land price is expensive, so I took a few pieces on a small scale and built a courtyard, which were invested in several research institutes and research institutes jointly established by themselves and various universities.

Outside the Fourth Ring Road, the cheaper it gets, then choose a place with cheap land prices, convenient transportation, and a suitable geographical location, buy two large pieces of land, and build a studio!

Nowadays, the domestic film and television industry continues to prosper, and film and television cities are being built frantically all over the country, especially ancient film and television cities.

But Minghu Culture still has to build its own film and television city.

It's just that their film and television city is by no means a themed building, but a large number of temporary sets similar to Hollywood studios.

The next scene is going to shoot "The Matrix", what scenes are needed, the drawings are drawn, and the staff will soon be able to set up the empty studio to the way you want it, so real that it can't be real.

After the shooting, it was dismantled immediately.

If you want to shoot the next play, then build the special set it needs for the next play.

When this construction plan was first proposed, some people within the company questioned that it was too wasteful, but Li Qian replied with one sentence: Don't think that the audience is stupid! Your movie and that TV series are the same set as someone else's movie or TV series, and no one pays attention to it once or twice, and if there are too many times, will the audience feel it? What is the intention? You don't even go to set up special sets for your own movies, you just make do with them everywhere, and when the movie is shown in the future, everyone walks into the cinema to take a look, full of familiarity, what kind of intentions do you talk about?

Besides, it's all a temporary set, and it's not a 10,000-year-old building, how much money do you think it will be wasted?

As a result, the resolution was adopted unanimously.

Of course, there is also a need for fixed sets, especially the interior sets of historical dramas.

The vast majority of domestic TV dramas and movies are particularly fond of filming indoor dramas, because indoor dramas are convenient and easy to shoot, but in fact, if you think about it the other way, indoor dramas are convenient to film, and you don't need to go to the outside film and television city to shoot with high venue fees!

There are many scenes in indoor dramas, and the cost of building a set is small, so build the set yourself, only the kind of large exterior scenes that need a building complex, only go to that kind of large-scale film and television city to shoot, come and go, how much money can be saved!

What's more, for the current Minghu Culture Film and Television Department, the sets required for a series of productions in the future are no longer what can be satisfied by the various film and television cities in China.

So as early as 2000, in the planning of the Sixth Ring Road, Daxing District, Li Qian made a decision, and Minghu Culture won a large plot covering an area of two or three hundred acres, after the last two years of construction, there is a base for film and television drama filming in the future of Minghu Culture, and the basic facilities are complete.

In addition to all the necessary facilities, five large studios have been built and seven more are planned.

And the first work that is about to start filming there is Li Qian's own "The Matrix". A large number of films such as "Shaolin Temple" and the third part of "Once Upon a Time" in the follow-up plan will mainly be filmed in their own film and television city.

Specific to the current set of "The Matrix", it has been making models and setting up sets since last year, as long as Li Qian does not go out, he will come over every few days to see it, as long as it is not satisfactory, he will change it, and today, most of the time has passed, and everything is finally ready here.

…………

August 13, morning, fine.

Inside the No. 1 studio of Minghu Film and Television City.

Li Qian kept walking around, checking the various sets, especially when he came to a street set, he patted the phone booth, turned his head to look at the person in charge of the construction, and the man quickly explained: "It's all covered! This time it's really all wrapped! It's all specially made foam, don't believe you try, as long as it's not very hard, you can knock down the phone booth with one punch, it basically won't hurt too much!"

As he spoke, he also hammered the rain cover of the telephone booth, and then added: "There are also walls, all the walls here are wrapped in this custom-made special foam, even if you really hit it, it won't hurt too much, and it won't be too easy to get hurt and so on." ”

Li Qian nodded, this guy has been trained by himself several times just because of the problem of materials, and it is estimated that he was also a little scared Actually, Li Qian touched it out as soon as he stretched out his hand just now, and even the prop phone seemed to be a little soft.

"The Matrix" says that it has ideas and connotations, but in fact, to put it bluntly, this is a full entertainment action movie! It's just that compared with other ordinary action movies, it adds some brain holes and some philosophical thinking to it, so it is packaged as a very connotative look.

And since it is an action movie, of course, there are fight scenes.

Therefore, in order to protect the actors, let them get injured as little as possible, so as to minimize the impact on the filming cycle, well, in fact, the main thing is to protect He Yingyu!

Whether it is the actor or the computer antivirus software Smith, although they have a lot of action scenes, Zhou Baoshan really has kung fu, and Smith's actor also deliberately chose an actor who usually has professional training in boxing and taekwondo, of course they are not afraid!

There is only one He Yingyu, who has no foundation, even if he is trained for a few months, he has fine skin and tender meat, if he bumps into it, it will affect the filming of the movie.

After checking the props and sets one last time, Li Qian was completely relieved, and then turned to the actor's lounge, knocked on the door one by one, and exchanged a few words with Zhou Baoshan, He Yingyu, Michael Modi, Hugo Aydin and others who were still in makeup, before exiting the door.

It's really all set.

…………

10:38 a.m.

Li Qian looked down at his watch, raised his head, took the megaphone handed over by the girl next to him, and said loudly: "All attention, all attention, "The Matrix" is about to officially start filming!

Two minutes later, he sat in the director's chair, the board in front of him fell, and the scene reporter shouted: "The Matrix, scene one, act one, begin!"

…………

What impressed you the most when you wanted to watch "The Matrix" as an audience back then?

One word: cool!

Black trench coat and black sunglasses are cool, skinny handsome Keanu Reeves is cool, the overall style of the movie, from light and darkness to photography to editing, cool, action fighting, cool, bullet time, cool, thinking brain hole, cool!

So when you come to make this film, of course, you have to inherit all the essence of this "cool" word!

However, the first shot was stuck.

Li Qian shouted to stop, got up and walked over, and said to Zhou Baoshan: "Put Huang Feihong down, you are not a generation of grandmasters, I don't want your graceful and unhurried momentum, stretch your face, do you understand? Talk less, no expression, not necessarily cool, but it is the premise of cool......!

He looked back at Fu Xuelong, "Turn up the camera angle for him!"

Fu Xuelong understands in seconds.

Zhou Baoshan's height is 175 to 176, it is said that among action actors, especially among the actors with real swords and guns, he is considered to be above average, but in the setting of the actor in the play "The Matrix", this actor is required to be a little taller, preferably in his early 1.8 meters.

Thin, tall, neat movements, wearing a long trench coat, sunglasses, and expressionless, it will naturally be cool. But Zhou Baoshan is so tall, even if the soles can be heightened, they are still not tall and thin enough, what should I do?

The camera angle is adjusted for him!

The set took a five-minute break to give Zhou Baoshan a little time to think and prepare, but Li Qian walked over to He Yingyu, who was standing on the side and waiting, and said: "You also have to pay attention, remind me again, the expression is less, cold, or even cold, in this play, I don't need any of your style! I don't even need any of your performances, just give me cold, okay?"

He Yingyu nodded very seriously.

Then Li Qian walked back, and when the time was almost up, he shouted, "Ready!

…………

China's Forbidden City is beautiful.

Elizabeth McCullough, accompanied by a secretary of Minghu Culture, spent a day touring the Forbidden City Museum, holding her own camera, and taking pictures all the way.

Originally, when she went out, she brought her sixteenth birthday gift and more than a dozen rolls of film, she felt that it was enough for a long time, but she didn't think that after visiting the Forbidden City, most of the film had been used.

In this way, she still looked unsatisfied, took the car all the way back, and said to her tour guide Balabala halfway, as if she was full of emotion.

After all, she is still a little girl after all, and China, the mysterious Chinese clothing, food, housing, transportation, utensils, cultural play, almost everything, can make her particularly interested.

Coupled with a special escort, a special driver and a special car transfer, she almost goes to play wherever she wants, and eats whatever she wants.

Like today, after visiting the Forbidden City for a full day, she felt unusually fulfilled!

The only regret is probably that Li is not the guide himself.

Come to think of it, a talented person like him will be his own tour guide, and in the face of such a brilliant and magnificent ancient palace, he will definitely be able to give a lot of special and profound interpretations like his father.

That's the coolest tour!

Thinking of Li Qian, she stretched out her hand to grab the front seat, looked at the young lady of the tour guide in front of her, and asked, "I've been playing for several days, why haven't I seen Qian?"

The young lady smiled when she heard this, and replied very standardly: "Yes, Mr. Li is very busy." ”

Elizabeth was a little unhappy, tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly asked, "I have seen some reports that Qian has several wives and more lovers, is it true?"

The young lady looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly, "This ...... You and Li are always friends, or it is better to ask him personally, I don't know too much about the specific situation. ”

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, understood.

So she shrank back into the back seat, but after thinking about it, she leaned over the chair again and asked, "Qian's new movie has already started filming, can you let me visit the site?"

The young lady was also very embarrassed, thought about it, and said: "Mr. Li's set is easy to not allow irrelevant people to enter, and he is very strict with the set. If you want to go, I think you can give him a call yourself, which is the most convenient. Otherwise, I can help you apply, but it will take several detours and it may take several days for the message to be heard. ”

Elizabeth nodded and said, "A common problem of big business. ”

In the past few days, I have been walking around in Shuntianfu, what is the Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven, the Forbidden City, etc., while playing, she casually inquired about some things, originally some vague things, but now it is gradually beginning to become clear Li Qian is no longer just a lonely specimen like a young singer, director and actor, it turns out that he is in charge of China's largest collection of film and television, music, He is also the largest shareholder of China's largest Internet company, and his first wife is currently serving as the executive director of an Internet company.

Therefore, Qian is not a person who is crazy about art, peeling back the artist side of him, you will find that he is still an absolute success benchmark in this era.

A person who is only in his twenties is believed to have personal assets of more than 20 billion Chinese dollars, which is about more than 10 billion US dollars!

Of course, this makes the unique and charming color on his body a lot lighter, making him no longer look so artistic, and no longer so attractive.

However, I have to say that for such a person who has already achieved such high artistic achievements at a young age, he can still be good at investment, the Internet and other things at the same time, but on the other hand, he seems to be full of fog, making him feel mysterious and sexy.

…………

Although Elizabeth is only a little over sixteen years old, she will be more easily attracted to something she is interested in, but she is definitely not an ordinary sixteen-year-old girl.

After a few days of hard work, eating, drinking, playing and shopping, slowly, she came back to her senses.

When she returned to the hotel, she was arranged by Li Qian to accompany her to eat, drink and have fun with the young lady who went down to the lobby area to wait for her, let her rest for a while, tidy up her makeup, and then take her to eat together.

She knew what Li Qian was doing, and she also knew what Li Qian meant, such a day was indeed very comfortable, accompanied by a special person, a high-end hotel, eating, drinking and playing, and everything was dizzying and dizzying.

However, none of this was what she wanted.

The phone was connected, and Elizabeth said, "Hey, Qian, I know you're trying to get addicted to the game, and you're avoiding me!

I don't know if there will be a double on this National Day, so I don't dare to ask for votes!
