Two weeks later.

Domestic.

Zhangjiajie, Hunan, Huangshizhai Scenic Area.

This place is the essence of Zhangjiajie tourist area, and there has always been a saying that "if you don't go to Huangshi Village, you will go to Zhangjiajie in vain".

The highest altitude of Huangshi Village reaches more than 1200 meters, a piece of high in the south and low in the north is formed by many cliffs and cliffs, and the natural landscape here is also very much, there are the treasure box of the book of heaven, the needle of the sea god, a pillar of the south sky, the turtle of the golden sea, etc., all of which are the works of nature.

On the southeast side of Huangshizhai mountain road, there are more than 10 square meters of inclined rock peak and thousand tough stone wall arched into a door, face the south hole open, the stone path passes through the door, the door hole is narrow and deep, the wild trees on both sides are clustered, the clouds outside the door are steaming and the clouds are blue, there is the respect of the South Tianmen in the myth.

What's even more amazing is that there is a strange stone on the right side of the South Heavenly Gate, which is similar to the shape of the human body, about 20 meters high, and the form is mighty and dignified, like a general guarding the Tianmen.

Therefore, this stone gate is called "Nantianmen".

At this time, outside the Nantian Gate, a very ordinary off-road vehicle was parked.

There were four people standing outside the car, one of whom was Li Zhifan, and the other three were blond-haired and white-skinned Americans.

"You can't get on the car here, but there is a cable car, about 120 meters away, you can reach the Nantian Pillar, this time it's along the road, we need a lot of materials, so the shooting should be coherent, understand?" Li Zhifan instructed the three of them, they are the cameramen invited by Li Zhifan, and they are all the cameramen who are ranked and named in the film guild.

The equipment in everyone's hands is the most advanced shooting equipment in the world, and all kinds of lenses are readily available.

“OK！”

The three of them gestured, and when they saw such a beautiful scenery, they were amazed and even more eager to shoot.

At this time, there were many tourists, but no one recognized Li Zhifan, because he wore a hat on his head, a scarf, and sunglasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, which looked like a Middle Eastern tourist at first glance.

And there are a lot of foreigners who come here to visit, and these three Yankees are not so surprising.

The filming was discussed with the scenic spot in advance, but Li Zhifan asked them to keep it secret, and refused any of their security measures.

"It's a beautiful view!"

The three Yankees filmed all the way, gushing praise all the way.

The way the three of them shoot is a combination of movement and static, a moment to shoot a video, a moment to take a photo, speaking of their workload, although the global framing work only selected China's Zhangjiajie and the United States' Sequoia Forest Park, but the video is about to shoot more than 10,000 pieces, and the photos have to be taken more than 100,000 photos.

is this amount, Li Zhifan doesn't know if he can completely restore the scene in the original play, after all, the most brilliant part of the original play is the landscape, and it is more difficult to restore the original appearance than to directly find the scene to shoot.

"Do you know Zhang Liang?"

Along the way, Li Zhifan chatted with the three Yankees all the way, otherwise the four of them just patted back and forth all the way and did not speak, which would also cause some people's speculation and suspicion.

"Zhang Liang?"

"I don't know!"

"I know, I know, it seems to be a mythical figure in China!"

"That's just folklore!" Li Zhifan said with a smile, "Zhang Liang was a genius in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, a capable ruler, a strategist and a military strategist, and it was he who helped Liu Bang become the emperor." ”

"Oh, Liu Bang, I know, I've seen a movie you made, which is about Liu Bang, what is it called White Revenge!"

"Ah? hahaha!" Li Zhifan couldn't help but laugh, the white revenge he said came from the English name of the movie "hite-Vengeance", but in fact, the Chinese name of the movie is "Hongmen Banquet".

As for why it was translated into "White Revenge", Li Zhifan didn't know, and he didn't have time to verify it, but he still told the three of them the story as it was.

"Off topic, we're talking about Zhang Liang, do you know what Zhang Liang's identity is now?"

"Oh, I know!

"It's supposed to be the Minister of Defense, right?"

"It's the Secretary of State!"

“……”

The servants were entangled, but Li Zhifan bypassed this topic and said: "In short, no matter what position he is equivalent to in the United States, after he succeeded, he did not covet power, but came to this place to live in seclusion, and met Huang Shi Gong here, Huang Shi Gong You must not know, it is a Taoist immortal, and then according to folklore, Zhang Liang followed this Huang Shi Gong to cultivate immortals and attain Taoism." ”

"Then did he finally become an immortal?"

They asked questions almost at the same time, curious about the question.

Li Zhifan smiled bitterly: "In this world, are there really immortals?"

"I believe in God, I think there are, there must be immortals in the East!"

"Me too, it's a faith. ”

“……”

What Li Zhifan wants to say is that Zhang Liang has cultivated here, but what these people are entangled with is whether there are immortals in China, and whether this Huangshi Village is the place where immortals once lived and cultivated, and even the more the three of them talked, the more outrageous it became, thinking if they could accidentally get the secret book of becoming an immortal here......

Footage isn't something you can shoot in a day.

The amount of work involved in collecting materials was very large, and the four of them took 23 256G memory cards off the first day.

But that's only part of the story, and at this pace, it will take at least two weeks to reach the set goal.

And today I just took a scenic spot of Nantian Yizhu, and in the Zhangjiajie Scenic Area, there are other scenic spots such as Yuanjiajie and Harrier Village to shoot.

The most important thing is that Li Zhifan can only accompany them to shoot for two days, and then he will go to shoot "Extreme Challenge", and it will take almost three days to go back and forth, but fortunately, "Extreme Challenge" is filmed in Hunan, and it is not very far.

……

United States.

The first season of "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Zootopia" have already begun.

Li Zhifan doesn't need to worry much about these two projects, because the basic character image and script in the early stage have been decided, even if the details are slightly different from the original, it doesn't hurt.

Unlike "Avatar", Li Zhifan must do it himself, and every detail from beginning to end must be strictly controlled by him.

But the current participating members of "Avatar" are also encountering a dilemma now, that is, Li Zhifan is now taking a few photographers out to collect materials, leaving them unsure of what to do.

Storyboarding?

Li Zhifan said that he would wait for him to come back.

Choosing an actor?

Li Zhifan said that he would wait for him to come back.

Starting to refine your team?

Li Zhifan said it, let's wait for him to come back.

In fact, there are only a dozen people in the production team of "Avatar" now, and two-thirds of them are special effects technicians, and there are two assistants, but after all, the project has been established, and everyone doesn't do anything, so it can't be explained, after all, many people have just been dug into the new company, and they are following the company's second-in-command and international big-name directors, who doesn't want to express themselves? ,

It wasn't until a week later that Li Zhifan's video call returned.

"We've finished shooting some of the footage, and now it's going to be brought back to the U.S. by Klaus, and he's about 10 hours to get to the Los Angeles airport, so you guys can take it and sort it and mark it with a serial number, OK?"

“OK！”

As soon as they heard that there was work to be done, the whole office was boiling, just like the employees of other companies heard that there was a holiday, and it was the other way around for them, which was strange enough.

I thought it would be an easy job, but when I actually got these memory cards, everyone collapsed again.

There are so many videos and pictures that they explode, and just looking at a random card is a huge amount of work, and some of them also take pictures of tourists, and in addition to the repeated shooting materials, not to mention, that is also a large part.

However, they also know that these material backgrounds will be scenes in the movie in the future, so they treat them very seriously and carefully, and after they saw these ghostly natural landscapes, they were also surprised, and they were the ones who couldn't wait to follow Li Zhifan.

Because in their opinion, it's better to go outside and take pictures and videos than to stay in the office, right?

But Klaus, who had just come back, didn't think so, after he put down all the materials, he just lay down on the company's public relations bench and fell asleep, and his fatigue was not just because of the plane or jet lag, but because of the accumulation of this Sunday, compared to the time when he walked, he felt that he had lost ten pounds.

In China, the original Li Zhifan is still there, but the shooting team is more than three people, because Li Zhifan directly brought a group of photography teams from China, and he and the other two Yankees took on the role of conductor.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as the head is opened well, the rest will be smooth.

It's like this filming work, after gaining experience, the two Yankees don't want to do it all by themselves, and after learning some from Li Zhifan, they are also handy in commanding.

……

in the entertainment industry.

Li Zhifan seems to have disappeared, from three or four news a day when Hung Hom held a concert before, it suddenly became less, especially after the news that he would shoot the "Avatar" movie, he disappeared directly, and the outside world didn't know what he was doing.

However, at this time, Timeline, which has belonged to Oriental Entertainment Group, has released two albums.

One is Li Zhifan's Cantonese compilation album, 21 Cantonese songs sung at the Hung Hom Station concert, which were publicly released in the form of albums and auditioned for free on the whole network.
