353, hard shooting

The box office performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" broke 1 billion in three days, far exceeding Shen Qiushan's expectations, in fact, in his opinion, the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is unlikely to be a box office hit, and in another time and space, the box office performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in China is very average.

After all, this is not a wonderful "popcorn movie", so now "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has won such a box office, which has made Shen Qiushan very happy.

After the crazy weekend, it's a weekday, and the box office market has dropped sharply, but even in this situation, the single-day box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is still as high as 140 million.

Achieving such a box office on a weekday like Monday can be said to be a very unnatural performance.

In the next few days, the box office performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was very stable, and it was all over 100 million in a single day, but on Thursday, the single-day box office was 106 million, and it looked like it was about to fall below the 100 million mark, but fortunately, the weekend came again, and the box office market began to pick up on Friday, and the single-day box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also climbed to 130 million.

Another weekend, the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" exceeded 200 million for two consecutive days, and the cumulative box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also exceeded the 2 billion mark this weekend, becoming the second film in Shen Qiushan's works to break through the 2 billion box office in the mainland.

The box office performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also made many people in the industry stupid, after all, this is a "martial arts film" that they are not optimistic about, when Shen Qiushan filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", many people predicted that Shen Qiushan would definitely hit the street this time.

However, the fact is that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" not only did not hit the streets, but also won four statuettes at the Oscars, and achieved more than $150 million at the box office in North America, a figure that has set a new box office record for a non-English language film in North America.

Now that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been released in China, it has effortlessly harvested a box office of 2 billion, and looking at this posture, the box office of this unpromising "martial arts film" is very likely to exceed 2.5 billion.

At the same time as the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" soared, Shen Qiushan's new drama "Operation Red Sea" was in full swing.

Gobi.

The yellow sand is all over the sky, as far as the eye can see.

At this time, the crew was filming the scene where the Jiaolong commando team was ambushed.

"Ka!!"

Shen Qiushan, who was sitting behind the monitor, stopped again, frowned and shouted: "Qiu Ming, your posture is not right, I have said it many times before, you are professional soldiers, you are the ace commando in the special forces, your action just now is too amateurish, your arms should be straight, and the next plate should be a little more stable." ”

"And Yazhi, as the only female member of the commando team, your eyes are still not fierce enough just now!"

"OK, do it again~!"

"Operation Red Sea Scene 187, First Shot, Article 6!"

"Let's go!!"

The scene notes left the stage, and several actors started their performances, but they were stopped by Shen Qiushan halfway through the performance, this time it was not the actors' reasons, but the "yellow smoke" blown up by the wind and sand was too big to cover the camera.

"The whole group rests for twenty minutes. ”

Shen Qiushan reluctantly announced that there was such a strong wind on the Gobi that I don't know when it would come, and it was naturally difficult for the crew to start filming under the wind and sand, so the filming progress of "Operation Red Sea" was relatively slow recently, and the whole team had to work on the vast Gobi Desert.

"Brother Shan, there is a tricky matter. ”

During the break, Li Dabao handed Shen Qiushan a thermos water cup.

"What's the matter?" Shen Qiushan asked with a sip of water.

"According to the **** regulations, all military, war-themed films, need to report the weapons, equipment and related equipment involved to the above, and give feedback, originally this regulation is relatively relaxed, but recently it has suddenly become stricter. ”

Li Dabao said depressedly.

"Just leave this kind of thing to Wu Di, you don't have to worry about it. Shen Qiushan waved his hand lightly.

"Wu Di has been negotiating for a long time, and he has thought of some methods, but he can't get permission for this part. Li Dabao said with a bitter face: "And Wu Di inquired, it seems that someone has said something behind his back, just to prevent our "Red Sea Operation" from passing the trial. ”

"Huh, and this?" Shen Qiushan raised his eyebrows.

"It should be true. Li Dabao nodded.

Shen Qiushan pondered for a moment and sneered: "If you can't get permission to come down, you can shoot it first, and then you will talk about it when the shooting is over." ”

"However, without that permission, the movie can't be released in the end, isn't that a vain shot?" Li Dabao rubbed his hands, very depressed.

"No, it won't. Shen Qiushan waved his hand gently, this matter is obviously someone who wants to fix himself, but before filming "Operation Red Sea", he has done his homework, according to the relevant regulations of this time and space, it is impossible for films like "Operation Red Sea" to fail to pass the review, after all, this is a film with positive energy and a main theme.

What's more, Shen Qiushan still has a killer trick that is useless, this year coincides with the 80th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and all places are preparing gift films, but it's really not good, Shen Qiushan will find a studio with an official background, give them the name of the producer, and then label the movie as a gift film, when the time comes, there will still be people who will find fault in small things? ?

Therefore, for Shen Qiushan, the external factors are all trivial, there is always a way to solve them, the most difficult thing now is the filming progress, "Operation Red Sea" is mostly "dry goods", the original film of another time and space, the crew filmed in Africa for a few months, Shen Qiushan in order to save costs, took some of the scenes to the periphery of the Gobi Desert, after all, this is the ground of his own country, not as far away as Africa, and many things are uncontrollable.

However, after the filming actually began, Shen Qiushan realized the difficulty of making a film like "Operation Red Sea", the filming progress was half slower than expected, and the whole team had to struggle with uncontrollable weather conditions.

"Brother-in-law, you're playing too much this time. ”

After a month in the group, Qin Yazhi's originally fair little face could no longer see the color, and the palms of her hands even had calluses because she had been holding a gun all day.

"What, can't bear it?" Shen Qiushan smiled, this time the shooting made him completely impressed by Qin Yazhi.

"After reading the script, I was already mentally prepared for the worst, but after the filming actually started, I found that there is really no worst, only worse~!" Qin Yazhi pursed her lips lightly.

"I can't help but try to be real. Shen Qiushan shrugged: "Besides, our artists are also famous and have made money, if we don't shoot something good, I'm really sorry for the audience!"
