Chapter 1058: Meeting
Chen Daomin didn't have many scenes, and after only one week of filming, all the scenes were filmed. And Zhang Ran didn't think about how to shoot the movie next, so the first phase of filming of "No Way Back" ended here.
In order to celebrate the completion of the first phase of the film, the crew also held a special banquet.
At the finale banquet, Chen Daomin said with emotion: "Now the film and television industry is very impetuous, actors and directors are in a hurry to film, and if a scene can be filmed in 50 days, I can't wait to finish it in 20 days." It's still comfortable filming with you, but there are too few scenes, and the filming is not enjoyable!"
After the finale banquet, Chen Daomin and Jing Tian both left the crew of "No Way Back", but the main creator of the crew did not leave. The movie "Full Segment with Obstruction and Interference" is about to start, and there are two VR scenes in the movie, which will be filmed by them. So, they tore off the label of "No Way Home" attached to the door, and labeled it with the label of "The whole section with obstruction and interference", and they seamlessly entered the group.
After seeing off Chen Daomin and them, Zhang Ran came to the Century Hotel and knocked on a conference room on the second floor.
This is the conference room of the crew of "The Whole Section with Obstruction and Interference", director Wu Ershan was discussing something with the crew of the crew, and when he saw Zhang Ran coming in, they all quickly got up to say hello.
Zhang Ran nodded at them, pulled out a chair and sat down, and said, "How is the situation?"
Wu Ershan said: "The main creators of the crew have basically joined the group, and most of the actors have arrived, Cheng Long will come over tomorrow morning." We have arranged this way, and we will hold a meeting tomorrow, and the time is set for half past two in the afternoon, to make arrangements for the work. At eight o'clock in the evening, there was a meeting with the actors to see how everyone was prepared. The morning after tomorrow, we held a start-up ceremony and a press conference, the time was 10 o'clock in the morning, and the preparations were all done. ”
Zhang Ran nodded slightly and said, "All the work must be put in place, and there can be no mistakes." ”
In the afternoon of the next day, the meeting of "Whole Section with Obstruction and Interference" was held in the conference room of the hotel. This meeting is not only to check the preparation of the crew to ensure that the shooting can go smoothly, but also a mobilization meeting of the crew, or a heart-to-heart meeting, to ensure that everyone can devote themselves to the filming of the movie.
The main creator of "The Whole Section with Obstruction and Interference" is the old team under Wu Ershan, as well as Zhang Ran's team, there is no need to say too much, the main thing is to ask about the preparation of each group to see if there are any problems. If you have a problem, you can raise it now and solve it in advance, if you don't bring it up until the time of the shoot, it will be too late.
After the meeting, the bosses of various departments of the crew began to get busy with their own people to prepare for the upcoming shooting.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Wu Ershan gathered all the actors together for a meeting. There are two main purposes of this meeting, one is to let the actors who are not familiar with each other get acquainted with each other, and at the same time, they also want to see the actors' understanding of the role and communicate with each other.
The actors of "The Whole Section with Hindrance and Interference" are basically actors who have worked with Zhang Ran and Wu Ershan many times, such as Li Xuejian and Hu Jun. There are only two exceptions, the heroine Chen Zhanzhan, and Cheng Long, who plays the commander of the 38th Division of the 112th Group Army.
Chen Zhanzhan has been honing on the drama stage for many years, and there is absolutely no problem with his acting skills, but he lacks the temperament of a female soldier. In order to play this role well, the crew sent her to the army for training for three months, and ate and lived with ordinary female soldiers. Although she is not wearing a military uniform now, she has the demeanor of a female soldier in every gesture, and she looks like she is from the army.
Cheng Long's state is a little disappointing, giving people the impression that he is still Cheng Long, not an officer in the army. The 38th Army is known as the Long Live Army, and the 112th Division is the trump card of the 38th Army. As the commander of the 112th Division, he must have a cold military temperament, just like steel, which is daunting, but he doesn't have that feeling in Cheng Long's body. Now that Cheng Long was arrested because of his son, he seemed to be preoccupied, and there was a faint sadness between his eyebrows.
Wu Ershan frowned, but didn't say anything, Cheng Long's acting skills are okay, maybe he can perform. After all, some actors usually don't look at anything, but when he performs, his whole temperament changes suddenly.
After the actors briefly introduced themselves and got to know each other, Wu Ershan took out the script and asked the actors present to read the lines of the script to see how prepared they were and how well they understood the role. After the actor reads the lines, Urshan will talk about his opinion of the character and put forward his requirements for the role.
The actors present performed very well and prepared very well. Everyone knows that this is a big drama that attracts the attention of the world, and even a small role may cause huge attention. is like Wang Luodan in "Scorching Sun", with very few scenes, but the attention brought is higher than that of many domestic blockbusters.
No, Cheng Long disappointed Wu Ershan, Cheng Long remembers his lines very well, and he is very emotional when he reads his lines, but he just doesn't have the iron-blooded temperament unique to soldiers, and he still feels like Cheng Long, not the commander of the 112th Division.
Urshan's head suddenly became bigger.
In fact, Zhang Ran originally asked Cheng Long to play the No. 10 chief, after Wu Ershan took over the project, he thought that Cheng Long was an action movie star, and the audience's biggest expectation for him was to watch his plays, the No. 10 chief was all literary drama, and it was too wasteful to let Cheng Long play it, so it was better to let Cheng Long play the commander of the 112th Division of the 38th Army.
Zhang Ran felt that Wu Ershan's suggestion was reasonable, and agreed to let Cheng Long play the role of the commander of the 112th Division. However, he believes that Cheng Long has no military temperament, and in order for Cheng Long to play the division commander well, he must be sent to the army for training.
Although Cheng Long has a lot of black spots, as an actor, his professionalism is absolutely first-class. He readily agreed to the request to train for two months. In mid-July, Cheng Long entered the Nanjing Military Region for training. It's just that it didn't take long for Fang Zuming to be arrested for drug use. Cheng Long was found in various affairs, not only did he have to run for his son's affairs, but he also had to take on the product endorsement work that was originally endorsed by his son, and pay off the debts for his son, so the training was naturally delayed.
Wu Ershan felt that the problem was serious, and lowered his voice and said, "Teacher Zhang, Cheng Long is not in the right state, what should I do now?"
Zhang Ran frowned and said: "Leave him to talk for a while, if he can adjust well, then we will give him time to adjust; ”
Wu Ershan felt that he could only do this, he was very glad that Zhang Ran was in charge, only Zhang Ran dared to say such a thing as Cheng Long, if it was replaced by someone else, he didn't dare to think about it, so he could only make do with it.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the meeting ended. Wu Ershan asked the other actors to leave, leaving Cheng Long behind.
Zhang Ran glanced at Cheng Long and asked, "Old Long, what's going on with the ancestral name?"
Cheng Long's eyes showed sadness, and he sighed lightly and said, "It has been submitted to the procuratorate for review and approval of arrest, and it should be formally arrested soon." ”
Zhang Ran bowed slightly: "What did the lawyer say?"
Cheng Long sighed again, and the sadness in his eyes became even stronger: "Before the formal sentencing, the public security organs will continue to investigate, and it will generally take 3 months before the formal sentence, and if he is not released on bail pending trial during this time, he will stay in the detention center all the time." The lawyer said that because he did not surrender voluntarily, and had been taking drugs for a long time, he had gathered many people to take drugs, and he might be sentenced to about one year. ”
Zhang Ran was not surprised by this result, stared into Cheng Long's eyes, and said slowly: "Then what do you think of our play?"
Cheng Long was stunned, what do you think, but he immediately realized that Zhang Ran was dissatisfied with his state. I remember my son's affairs, and my heart is heavy, and my state is really not very good. If it were other directors, they could only pinch their noses and endure this incident, they needed to carry the box office by themselves. But Zhang Ran is different, Zhang Ran himself is the biggest box office guarantee. What's more, "Full Band Blocking Interference" is the sequel to "Future Apocalypse", "Future Apocalypse" has a box office of more than 2 billion US dollars, and fans around the world are looking forward to this movie, and there is no need to worry about the box office at all. Whether you have yourself or not, the difference is not big at all.
Cheng Long is known for his dedication in the industry, and no one has ever said anything bad about his work attitude. This is the first time that someone has expressed dissatisfaction, although Zhang Ran's words were tactful, it still embarrassed him, and immediately said: "I'm sorry for this incident, I'm really not in a very good state now, but you give me some time, and I will quickly adjust my state." ”
Zhang Ran looked at Cheng Long and said slowly: "I can understand your feelings, I am also a father, if something happens to my child, I will definitely be in a hurry." But life is life, work is work, and we still hope that you will adjust your state as soon as possible. The movie "The Whole Paragraph with Hindrance and Interference" is very important to us and to Chinese films.
In the 70s, the global film market was full of excitement and styles, and many countries had their own film industries. But two young Americans changed the landscape with two films, Lucas's Star Wars and Spielberg's Jaws. The huge commercial success of these two films made Hollywood realize that the amazing visual effects brought by high technology are the biggest magic weapon to attract audiences to the cinema, so they have invested heavily in making super blockbusters.
Hollywood is originally a tiger, and after plugging in the wings of high technology, it has become an invincible existence, and no country's movies can compete with it. In front of Hollywood's strong ships, films from all over the world and regions are as vulnerable as small sampans. Dongying movies collapsed, German films collapsed, Italian films collapsed, and Xiangjiang films also collapsed.
In order to resist the impact of Hollywood movies, filmmakers from all over the world have also produced blockbusters, the French filmed "Face Capture Decoding", the Koreans filmed "Taiji Flag Flying", and the Japanese filmed "Heaven and Earth", but no one dared to shoot top sci-fi blockbusters. Because their market can't afford such a big production, and they don't have that technology. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Ran paused, raised his voice and said: "Sci-fi blockbusters are a bright gem in the Hollywood film industry, and other countries can only look up to them, but they have no ability to set foot in them. But I don't believe in this evil, we have been struggling for more than ten years, just hoping to create a top sci-fi blockbuster that belongs to China. Now we can do it, and it's "Full Drag" with Hindrance! So, we want to be the best in every aspect of the film. You are a banner of Chinese cinema, and we hope you can do your best. ”
Cheng Long watched the Xiangjiang movie being defeated by Hollywood, and the feeling of powerlessness in the face of Hollywood blockbusters has always haunted his heart. Now hearing Zhang Ran's words, he felt his blood boiling, and said excitedly: "Director, I will adjust my state as soon as possible, and I will definitely not delay the shooting!"
Zhang Ran thought to himself, Cheng Long was provoked by himself, he should be able to train with peace of mind, I am really more and more fooled! He smiled and said, "Of course I believe you." The role you have to play is the commander of the 112th Division, a professional soldier. Due to the long-term training of soldiers, their movements, walking and sitting are different from ordinary people, and they have the temperament of soldiers, but now you don't have it, we can only let you retrain. After the boot ceremony, you return to the army training. When you're done, we'll shoot your scene. What do you think?"
Cheng Long immediately said: "No problem, this time I will put everything down and train with peace of mind." ”
