Finally, after two months of role selection and preliminary preparations, our film is about to officially start shooting.

In order to create the most realistic effect of the movie, Twilight specially bought a piece of land on the outskirts of City A and built a corresponding urban area here. How much money was spent, he chose to keep it secret from me, only saying that it was a support for my first film, which can be regarded as a kind of gratitude to my father.

In order to take care of Anya's situation, we only arranged three hours of scenes for her every day. Because this is a scene dominated by the male protagonist, the arrangement basically ensures the progress of filming.

In the first month of filming, we didn't touch the little ones.

Our staff is still in the process of running-in, and Lan Zhiyuan and I have been looking for the most accurate feeling.

The first month went quite smoothly, whether it was the performance of the leading actors Wu Yufei and Anya, or the supporting roles like Zhang Wei, they all achieved the expected results.

In the second month, the little ones started to join the group. The first group is Xuan Xuan and Nian Xin, and the performance of these two children can be described as talented. If you have to make a distinction between high and low, it is better to have a younger mind, and it is definitely the kind that can be passed.

Xuanxuan looks like a big brother, while doing his own job, he is still responsible for taking care of Nianxin, one of the contents is not to let strangers tease Nianxin casually.

You know, the little guy Nianxin is simply getting cuter and cuter the longer he gets, and anyone who sees it wants to step forward and touch it, but our Xuanxuan just won't let the comrades of the crew succeed.

Everyone can only take advantage of the little guy's filming time to quickly tease Xiao Nianxin.

Chen Yanfei was also worried that I would not take good care of me, and she has been following the crew to supervise the work in the past few days.

Twilight joked, "Mom, you've successfully taken the place of early summer and become the director and producer of the movie." ”

Chen Yanfei looked dissatisfied, "I'm not here to protect your son." ”

Then, it was another 'war of lips and tongues' between mother and son.

In fact, Chen Yanfei is not very exaggerated, when Ding Ding was about to come to film, Dongfang Xu's father and mother came, and even Tong Yue, who has always been calm, always had to take time to visit the class, which made Lan Zhiyuan and I very stressed.

Ding Ding, the little guy, also lives up to expectations, and well interprets the image of the little male protagonist in our minds. And this kid still maintains a sensible and dedicated style. When we filmed this part of the scene, it was already winter in City A, and it was just in time for Ding Ding and Zeng Ting to have a winter vacation.

In addition to ensuring his daily study time, he always stays in the crew and learns acting with these big brothers and sisters.

Looking at his posture, if he really has the intention of being an actor in the future, he will be very sure.

Although I have never participated in a scene, every scene was determined by me and Lan Zhiyuan repeatedly thinking about it, as if I participated in every scene.

I have also cried with the actors and laughed with them, and the mood is actually consistent with the characters in the play.

And when Lan Zhiyuan and I disagreed, we also quarreled over a certain shot. But let go of work, we are still the best New Year's friends in private.

As the filming of the film gradually drew to an end, related reports began to emerge one after another. In fact, when I announced that I was going to start filming this movie, the outside world was mixed. At that time, I was single-mindedly trying to choose the role I had in mind, to do the best pre-preparation, and to block out all speech.

But now, the situation has forced me to pay attention to the comments of the media and the reactions of netizens, this is a commercial society after all, and we must respect the box office and the laws of business.

The overall evaluation is still on both sides, and if there is support, there will be opposition.

Aside from those who support it, those who oppose it are still a little cruel. said that Lan Zhiyuan and I wanted to take advantage of the momentum of the Oscars to make another profit, some said that we worked hard and lost money, and some people said that I was no longer the down-to-earth Lin Chuxia, and now I only think about success and fame.

Maybe it's because I'm different now, I'm no longer just one of the actors, but the director behind the whole movie, and the initiator of the film.

I can imagine the pressure.

I don't want to define the quality of this movie by the box office after that, but it's impossible to say that I don't expect a high box office.

But this time, I still respected the advice of the experienced Lan Zhiyuan, and basically gave up the early publicity work.

We are all giving it a go, using the Tangshan earthquake itself, but also the strength and fame of all our cast and crew.

Three days before the movie was released, all the communication equipment at home was controlled by Chen Yanfei and Dulin, and everyone outside, including Lan Zhiyuan, also unified their caliber and never mentioned the box office.

My God, I know they're afraid of my mood, but isn't it better to be scared every day?

The acting level of these people in the family is first-class, and I can't see what the actual situation is.

Until the morning of the fourth day, after Chen Yanfei glanced at the phone, he couldn't control the joy in his heart anymore, and when he saw me and Twilight going downstairs, the corners of his mouth grinned to the root of his ears, and he was happy.

Twilight coughed a few times, perhaps reminding her to stay calm.

In the end, Chen Yanfei was pushed one step further, "The box office results are so good, why do we need to hide it?"

Twilight pouted and glanced at me, "I'm afraid she's proud." ”

She must be referring to me.

So, does that mean that the movie is not bad at the box office?

When I looked over, Chen Yanfei had already jumped in front of me excitedly, "Now it's over 100 million, 150 million." ”

"One hundred and fifty million?" I subconsciously repeated, judging the number in my head. That "Ruyi Biography" broke 100 million on the first day, so in this regard, 150 million is not a high box office.

However, the total box office of "The Legend of Ruyi", excluding the overseas part, is 320 million.

And this "Tangshan Earthquake" has only been released for three days and three nights, and there is already more than half of the trend, so the box office results are not bad.

Looking at my smirk, Twilight teased, "Look, I'm starting to be proud now." ”

I glared at him, but my heart continued to be happy.

"Don't talk about early summer, aren't you happy, you have earned so much all of a sudden?" At this time, Chen Yanfei would still choose to stand by my side.

"Even if I can't earn back my capital, I have no regrets. In exchange, Twilight answered very seriously.

I could only give him a grateful look, "Thank you." ”

Twilight curled her lips and smiled, "Forget about this kind of thanks, you know, I like to be practical." ”

By the time I reacted, Chen Yanfei and Dulin had already looked at each other and smiled understandingly, and the cheeky guy had calmly sat down in his place, ready to start breakfast.

After breakfast, I happily followed him to the company.

I've really been suffocated in the past few days, I can't go anywhere, and all kinds of communication equipment at home can't be used. Now that I know that I have such good results, I can't stay at home anymore with excitement.

Chen Tian's office was also very lively, and when I arrived, Lan Zhiyuan and An Ran were already there. As soon as she saw me coming, An Ran first rushed up, and congratulated her, this girl shouldn't be true after she got married, she still jumped up and down like a child, which shows how well Qiwei takes care of her.

"You came just in time, Director Lan and I are discussing the movie. Chen Tian looked at us and smiled gently, and invited me to sit aside.

"What's the matter?"

"You know that the annual Shanghai International Film Festival is going to be held again, and now it's the film selection stage. Lan Zhiyuan explained, "In recent years, the international influence of the Shanghai International Film Festival has become more and more significant, and I think we should pay attention to it. ”

"Blue Guide...... In fact...... "I am very satisfied to achieve such good box office results." Most importantly, I fulfilled one of my father's legacies, and it was recognized by the audience. As for whether to win or not, I haven't really really thought about it.

Lan Zhiyuan saw my thoughts at a glance, "In early summer, people have to pursue." One sentence pointed out my problem, "This honor is not just for you. ”

Chen Tian should also be, and even An Ran expressed his opinion on the one hand, that is, he should fight more.

"Then let's submit an application, and the follow-up will trouble Mr. Chen. "With Chen Tian and Lan Zhiyuan here, I don't need to ask for any details, until the results of the application are announced, I know that the appetite of the two of them is not small, and of course it is also the result of the joint efforts of our cast and crew.

In the end, we were nominated for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best Special Effects.

This is just the list of nominees, and I learned afterwards that these two also applied for the Best Newcomer Award, which was applied for by Xiao Nianxin, and the Best Actress award, that is, Anya. may have its own considerations, and in this play, Anya basically did not provoke the beam like Wu Yufei, so unfortunately she did not get the final nomination.

I went to Shanghai again, and this time I felt completely different from the previous ones. Lan Zhiyuan and I are the co-directors of this film, and because of this particularity, I don't have much hope for this Best Director Award.

But because I am the director of this film and the initiator of this film, no matter what the final result is, no matter what award I win in the end, I will feel very proud and grateful. I think my father must have smiled with satisfaction when he saw the current situation.

Regarding the script, in fact, we still had some internal controversy at the beginning.

The script is the brainchild of Dad, there is no doubt about it. However, in the later filming process, in order to keep pace with the times, Lan Zhiyuan and I and several other assistant directors also made certain modifications, among which the greatest credit is actually Lan Zhiyuan.

If he can win this award, then he should also belong to my father and Lan Zhiyuan. And Dad is no longer alive, so there should be Lan Zhiyuan to receive this award.

He insisted that I was the daughter of the original author and the first person to discover the script, and that I should receive the award.

In the end, after discussion, we decided that Uncle Liu would accept this honor instead of Dad.

And the result did not disappoint us, the award for the best screenplay undoubtedly belongs to our crew of "Tangshan Earthquake".

Wu Yufei also won the Best Actor award by a huge margin, and the moment the results were announced, I saw that his eyes were instantly filled with tears. It's been almost ten years since he entered the industry, and this is the first actor he has gotten. There is no doubt about his popularity all along, but he has never been able to enter the eyes of the organizing committees of major film festivals, and has always missed various awards.

After coming to the stage, he was most grateful to Anya, who finally walked with him, and then Lan Zhiyuan and me.

I deserve such a thanksgiving.

It can only be said that he used his strength to win a chance for himself. As far as he is concerned, it is really a bit of a late bloomer.

Of course, we also won the Best Special Effects Award and the Best Director Award.
