Chapter 900: Traveling Abroad
Chapter 900 "Traveling" Abroad
November 4th.
"Saw 2" was released five days ago and grossed 27 million.
For an R-rated bloody movie, it is already quite good to reach this box office.
However, Jiang Xia was not too satisfied with this result.
Last year, the box office of "Saw Horror" was more vigorous than this.
Paramount sent the results of the investigation, saying that it was caused by insufficient hype and publicity.
Jiang Xia also admitted this, last year, there was Louis who was in the ring, and the news was very lively from the beginning and has always attracted much attention. It's like this year, it's almost like "Saw 2" is dominant, and there is no controversy and hype at all, which also leads to poor publicity, and the box office is naturally not good.
Jiang Xia's movie popularity is not bad, there are record-breaking R-rated comedies in front, and his R-rated movies have relatively high attention.
When Zhang Pengpeng called Jiang Xia, he said: "Comrade Jiang Xia, your box office results are not good." ”
"I'm busy. Jiang Xia said.
Zhang Pengpeng said: "What are you busy doing?"
"I'm going to go abroad to film. Jiangxia said.
Zhang Pengpeng was surprised: "Do you still go abroad to film?"
Jiang Xia said: "Siam." ”
Zhang Pengpeng was surprised: "Siam, what are you shooting?"
Jiang Xia said: "No, shoot the planting land of poppy and poppy. ”
Zhang Pengpeng frowned and said, "Is there over there?"
Jiang Xia said: "Yes, we have already contacted the local government, and we have also contacted some local armed forces over there, and they will protect us." ”
"Don't you take Chenxi with you?" Zhang Pengpeng asked nervously.
"No, there is no morning light in the scene over there, if it weren't for the fact that the growth cycle of poppy and millet is about to pass, I wouldn't be in such a hurry, I originally planned to finish filming the scene with morning light first, but now I can only go to shoot there first. Jiang Xia said.
Zhang Pengpeng said: "It's okay, pay attention to safety, in the end, it's a place where shemales haunt, and it's not normal." ”
Jiang Xia said: "Don't worry, I will pay attention." ”
Zhang Pengpeng was relieved when he heard Jiang Xia say this.
Jiang Xia and they are indeed preparing to go to Siam to film.
It's really connected.
Hengying is in Xiangjiang in the end, and Xiangjiang also has a connection with Siam, and even with the government.
Jiang Xia was relieved to go to Siam to film.
"When are you coming back?" You Fangfei asked with a frown.
She originally thought that Jiang Chenxi would only stay in the crew for about a month before she could go back to the United States to continue her studies, but now it seems that Jiang Chenxi will have to stay for at least two months, and when she returns to the United States, it is estimated that it will be New Year's Day.
"It's hard to say, it's definitely within a month. Jiang Xia said.
"Stay safe. You Fangfei had no choice but to say so.
Jiang Xia smiled: "Don't worry. As for a large crew, we also invited two security companies to follow the whole process, and we also contacted a certain general over there, and allowed us to enter their base for filming for two days. ”
"Can you get in touch with the general over there?" You Fangfei was surprised.
Jiang Xia said: "I contacted the Taoist people on this side of Xiangjiang and gave a lot of money." And it's just going to the planting base, not to the arming base, otherwise how could we go?"
"Yes, be careful anyway. You Fangfei said.
Jiang Xia said with a smile: "It's a trip abroad." ”
That being said, Jiang Xia was still a little nervous when the charter flight arrived in Siam.
They first went to the poppy planting base to shoot the poppy plantation, and went over with elephants, escorted by soldiers with guns throughout the whole process, and every object on their bodies would be searched, and several cameras were carefully examined to confirm that there was no problem, and then let Jiang Xia and them pass.
Jiang Xia also saw the poppy planting base for the first time, although it was in front of the camera, his reaction was natural, because it was the first time he had seen these.
Comparatively speaking, Le Xu, who played Lin Kun, performed a little worse, it was the first time he had seen this kind of base, and the people around him were real, so he was a little nervous.
Time was tight, only two days were available.
In order to catch up with the schedule, Jiang Xia didn't let Le Xu rest more.
"Teacher Le, let go, you are now playing a big drug owl, these things are commonplace, you must put your heart down, act with your heart, you can't do it in such a state. Jiang Xia said.
"Director Jiang, it's not that I don't want to be empty, it's really stressful. Le Xu glanced around and said helplessly.
Jiang Xia said: "They don't know how to shoot, what are you afraid of? Just assume that their guns are fake." ”
Le Xu said helplessly: "The problem is that I know that their guns are real. ”
"Teacher Le, I believe in your profession. Jiang Xia could only be so comforted.
Le Xu smiled helplessly.
Jiang Xia greeted everyone and said: "Shoot seriously, we haven't rested during the day for the past two days, so we will shoot non-stop." If you have taken one, you will quickly shoot the next one, time is tight, and then the time will pass. ”
Le Xu was also helpless, gritted his teeth and started acting.
On the morning of the first day, the shooting did not go well.
Jiang Xia frowned and thought for a while and said, "Bring a pair of sunglasses and put them on for Teacher Le, the kind that should be all black." ”
"Good. Zhuang Hao went to find sunglasses.
After Le Xu put on his sunglasses, he performed well in front of the camera, at least he was not so nervous, and he could show an actor-level performance.
The shooting in the afternoon made Jiang Xia breathe a sigh of relief, if Le Xu kept the state of the morning, he would have to consider whether to cut out the picture for Le Xu in the later stage.
On the first day, only footage of entering the opium poppy cultivation area was taken.
That night, Jiang Xia and they lived here, and it was a long time to walk back and forth in the province, after all, it was quite far.
"Jiang, I know you. ”
That night, the general in the planting area where they were located came to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia said: "General, it's an honor. ”
The general spoke in English: "I've seen your movies and listened to your songs, it's very good." ”
"The general is also very powerful to be able to build a base here. Jiang Xia said.
The general smiled: "It's not as good as you, my son is your fan, if possible, you can sign my name, and I will give him a birthday gift." ”
"Absolutely. Jiang Xia said with a smile.
Several names were signed, and a selection album was also included.
The general smiled and patted Jiang Xia on the shoulder, and quickly left this side.
After Le Xu and the other generals left, he asked Jiang Xia, "Director Jiang, aren't you afraid?"
"Not afraid?" Jiang Xia opened his hand and glanced at Le Xu, all sweaty.
Le Xu said: "I thought you weren't afraid." ”
"Aren't you afraid, as soon as seven people came in and surrounded us, they almost pointed guns at us, numbness, and the urine didn't scare out. Jiang Xia said with palpitations.
"Awesome. Le Xu said.
Jiang Xia said: "Strong, can't be looked down on by him, right? In fact, he is also afraid that people like them can survive until now, it is because our country is not serious, and we really want to wipe them out, it is very easy, under normal circumstances, they will not make a move on our people." ”
"I guess I can remember it for a lifetime. Le Xu said.
"Haha, when do you travel to Rio de Janeiro once, you can remember it for a lifetime. Jiang Xia laughed.
