Chapter 103 of the main text volume and farewell to the past
Next chapter
Cameos are very common in the Beijing entertainment industry, and they are just helping each other.
"The Story of the Editorial Department" has a lot of actors making cameos, which mainly depends on how the script itself is, whether everyone has this friendship, and whether they are willing to cheer.
This time, the lineup is a bit big, which is related to the popularity of the drama "Beijing People in New York" in the circle.
This TV series can be said to be popular before it was filmed, which detonated the topic of the Beijing entertainment industry, even if it was a movie shot by a big director, it did not attract so much attention.
First of all, the total investment of 1.5 million US dollars, equivalent to 8.5 million yuan, is enough money to make a large-scale movie.
Mi Jiashan only had 800,000 yuan when he filmed "The Stubborn Master", which is a small-budget film in Huaguo.
In this era, even the big director's big production zuò is only an investment of about 10 million.
The second is the addition of Jiang Wen.
As a first-line actor in Huaguo, Jiang Wen has a relatively proud temperament and has been developing in the film industry.
It's not that no one asked him to act in a TV series before, but he always felt that the grade of the TV series was too low to show his intelligence, but he was not addicted to acting and was unwilling to act.
He admitted that he read the script at that time to find a reason to refuse Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang, after all, Feng Xiaogang had made so many phone calls, and it was not good to refuse as soon as they met.
He wanted to make a quick decision, otherwise he wouldn't have poured a glass of water for the guests.
Unexpectedly, he was attracted by the script, and after reading it, he felt that it was not bad, so he decided to take this play.
There is also this signboard of the art center, or Lin Zixuan, a well-known screenwriter, all kinds of factors add up, and the director "Beijingers in New York" has become the most anticipated drama in 1992.
This expectation is not the expectation of the audience, ordinary audiences don't know about it, but the expectation of the entertainment industry.
At this time, everyone doesn't pay much attention to publicity, and they won't spend money on advertising in newspapers, otherwise "Beijingers in New York" would have dominated the news headlines in the entertainment industry.
It is precisely because of the above points that many celebrities can be attracted to make cameos, not just because of Lin Zixuan's personal charm.
The Beijing Film Studio is happy to see this, and with so many celebrity cameos, it will be a good gimmick when the movie is screened in the future, which can attract audiences to the theater.
Think about how shocking it would be to write the names of all the stars on the movie poster when the time comes.
As a result, the audience went in to see that there were indeed those stars, but they just showed their faces and didn't even have a line.
Fortunately, this film is a good book, as well as Ge You and Xu Fan, the quality is guaranteed, and they should not be scolded.
For a niche literary film like "The Great Satan", it would be good to be able to not lose money, and let the audience into the theater first.
Besides, filming at Beijing International Airport is more troublesome, you have to apply to the airport and wait for approval, which can save time and effort by shooting two dramas at a time, and can also leave an anecdote for the future.
After filming the farewell scene at the airport, the crew of "Beijing People in New York" is about to prepare to go to the United States.
The crew did not go together, but first went to a group of people to do the preliminary preparations, and the first group included the main creators.
Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang played the front station, responsible for solving the life problems of the crew, finding a suitable filming location, dredging local interpersonal relationships, and providing convenience for the crew's subsequent shooting.
After the preliminary preparations, the rest of the film crew will come to the United States for filming.
This is done to save money, don't look at the investment in this drama is so high, the consumption level of the United States is not low, the hard and simple revolutionary tradition cannot be lost, and it can be saved.
Jiang Wen will also go with him, and he plans to experience life in the United States before filming.
For example, washing dishes in a Chinese restaurant, interning in a garment factory run by a Chinese in the United States, and observing the living conditions of Chinese in the United States, so as to accurately grasp the character of Wang Qiming.
An actor like him does not lack creative power, what he lacks is a grasp of the details of life, and for Jiang Wen, who has no experience in living in the United States, this process is very necessary.
At this time, the actor is very serious about the role and does not fool around.
Some actors will go to the countryside to live, work in factories, and train in the army, just to be able to convey their spirits when acting.
What is "expressive", to put it bluntly, is to act like something, not the appearance of the image, but the inner charm of the image.
Lin Zixuan gave Jiang Wen a month to experience life, and officially filmed a month later.
After these days of contact, he found that Jiang Wen was a very smart person, knowledgeable, reasonable, and not as difficult to serve as rumored by the outside world, provided that you could convince him.
As long as you can convince him, he will listen to you, but it's basically hard.
Feng Xiaogang is also a very smart person, but he almost never won the argument with Jiang Wen, which can be said to be a complete defeat.
"The one thing I want to hear Jiang Wen say the most is 'I was wrong'. Feng Xiaogang refused to admit defeat.
Lin Zixuan would not argue with Jiang Wen, he felt that what Jiang Wen said made sense and agreed, which made Jiang Wen very depressed.
Jiang Wen actually wanted to inspire more inspiration in the debate, but unfortunately Lin Zixuan didn't give him a chance, because Lin Zixuan knew that the argument would still be based on what Jiang Wen said in the end, and there was no need to waste his tongue.
In general, it is more difficult to communicate with Jiang Wen, so let's give this opportunity to Feng Xiaogang.
Of course, Lin Zixuan will never let go of some unreasonable things, this is the principle.
Hua Guo's U.S. embassy found accommodation for the crew in a small town called Oyster Bay on Long Island, New York, which is cheap and convenient, not far from downtown New York.
A group of people who have no experience in filming TV dramas abroad will use that town as a www.biquge.info for a grueling filming journey.
At the same time, Mu Shanshan began to go through the procedures for studying abroad.
Mu Shanshan's choice has caused a lot of turmoil on Huaguo TV, in the eyes of others, Mu Shanshan is in the rising period of her career, and giving up her thriving hosting career at this time is obviously self-destructing her future.
The leader of the station talked to her, but she had already made up her mind.
After recording February's "Fangda Variety Show", he will go abroad for further study, and it is much more free to go abroad for further study at his own expense, which is equivalent to leaving his job without pay in the unit, which is a common phenomenon in this era.
The leaders of the TV station saw that the persuasion was ineffective, so they had to look for the new host of "Fangda Variety Show", for this kind of popular program, some people want to host.
When recording the last episode of the show, Mu Shanshan was a little excited, after all, this was her first show.
From the beginning when Lin Zixuan talked to her about this plan, to the formation of the show, the hard shooting on location abroad, the honors obtained by this, and the recognition by the audience, how can there be no emotion in the middle.
At the end of the recording of the show, the audience sent blessings to Mu Shanshan, and Lin Zixuan specially took flowers to the stage and gave them to Mu Shanshan.
"I didn't expect to be so nostalgic for this stage, I thought it would be easy. Mu Shanshan said with emotion.
"It's too late for you to regret it now, the station will definitely want you to stay, but the host who took over your class is probably going to cry, and he will definitely hate you for the rest of his life. Lin Zixuan teased.
"Hate, am I such a dishonest person? That little girl is very good, and she asked me about the secrets of hosting in the past two days. Mu Shanshan said dissatisfied.
"You're so naïve, they're urging you to leave in this way. Lin Zixuan said with a smile, "I don't believe you sue her now that you don't leave, see how she reacts?"
"I'm not as boring as you, let's go, let's go home. Mu Shanshan pulled Lin Zixuan and walked outside.
After such a mistake, her mood was much better, thinking about the prank that Lin Zixuan just said, if she really did that, the little girl who took over her hosting would probably really hate her for the rest of her life.
The two of them left Huaguo TV and walked forward, leaving the past behind.
