497 [Two Confrontations]
On a large area of wasteland, hundreds of tons of yellow sand were transported over, piled up into one sand dune after another, and occasionally there was an artificially made cactus prop, which looked like a real desert from the camera lens.
Although the general direction of Wang's Pictures' plum garden design plan has been decided, the specific design is still being reviewed and revised again and again, and these yellow sands will be piled up here for at least two months.
The only few Bactrian camels at the Taipei Municipal Zoo, along with their keepers, were loaned by Wang Zijun at a high price.
Jingle bells!
The bell on the camel's neck rang, and Zhao Yazhi, who was dressed in a white costume, carefully sat on the camel's back with the help of the breeder, and the staff next to him were all nervous, as long as the camel showed something wrong, they would immediately rush over to save people.
Although the main actors have personally fed the camels for food in the past two days to get closer, these camels are animals that have lived in the zoo since they were children and have never been ridden.
"Ahh Sister Zhi is so good! Guan Zhilin's eyes lit up as she watched the camel carrying Zhao Yazhi and stood up, shouting, "I want it too, I want to ride it too!" β
Seeing that the camel was docile, several girls rushed to ride the camel, which made the male cast and crew present cry and laugh.
After arranging a series of jobs, Xiao Sheng has gone back to Hong Kong, without the supervision of the producer, Wang Zijun followed them again, and these girls are getting more and more crazy.
Wang Zijun looked at Zhao Yazhi, who was having a good time, and reached out to touch the water cup next to him, and as soon as his hand moved, someone had already sent the cup to Wang Zijun.
Wang Zijun looked at it, but it was a scene from Jiashi, ten years old, and his hands and feet were quite diligent. Taking the water cup, Wang Zijun took a sip and asked casually, "What's your name?" β
"Zhou Chunming." The field reporter said respectfully.
"You speak a bit strange in Cantonese, you haven't been in Hong Kong for two yearsβ" Mr. Wong said.
Zhou Chunming smiled a little reluctantly and replied, "I fled from Vietnam last spring. β
"Vietnam? Are you Vietnamese-Chinese? Wang Zijun became interested.
A few days after the mainland's self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam ended, there were quite a few reports from Hong Kong. But he didn't mention it about it. Most of the stations. At this time, the people of the Bay did not know that the mainland had just fought a war with Vietnam.
Zhou Chunming nodded a little sadly. Maybe it's been holding back for too long, when Wang Zijun asked about his experience, Zhou Chunming said like spitting bitter water: "During the Anti-Japanese War, my grandfather fled Vietnam with his whole family, and has been living there ever since. I was born in Vietnam, I grew up in Vietnam, and I almost always considered myself Vietnamese, except that I was taught by my parents to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters since I was a child. The consuls are all local Vietnamese, they are all good people, and they are also very kind to me. My father fought the Yankees with several Vietnamese uncles, who were closer than his own brothers, and one of them even blocked a bullet for my father.
Until two or three years ago, I don't know where it came from, the news of the expulsion of the Chinese was circulating everywhere, and some hooligans and ruffians began to like to bully and rob the Chinese, and the Vietnamese police also turned a blind eye. More and more Chinese people moved away with their families, and my father was a little panicked and prepared to leave Vietnam with my mother and me. But a few of my father's Vietnamese comrades-in-arms retained, saying that they promised that our family would be fine. After another half a year, the land that our family had cultivated for decades was taken away for no reason, my father's comrades-in-arms were silent, and the neighbors were as kind as ever, but I could feel that the way they looked at me was different.
The winter before last, my father finally decided to move out. Several of his Vietnamese comrades-in-arms brought in two trucks to help us move our belongings, but before the cars could start, a group of Vietnamese policemen surrounded us. They robbed my family of decades of savings, leaving only a few clothes and less than three days' rations for each of us.........,
Wang Zijun quietly listened to Zhou Chunming's story, and at this time he learned that the anti-Chinese movement in Vietnam had begun as early as two years before the self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam. Moreover, this anti-Chinese movement was initiated by the Vietnamese government, and before that, due to the various support provided by Chinese mainland to Vietnam, the Vietnamese people were very pro-Chinese. However, under the continuous propaganda, the Chinese slowly became the villains who robbed them of land and money in the eyes of the local Vietnamese.
Of course, there was also the support and provocation of the USSR behind this. During the entire counterattack against Vietnam, all the elite troops of the mainland were deployed on the Sino-Soviet border, and the troops fighting with Vietnam were basically second-line troops.
The family of Zhou Chunming in front of him is just a microcosm of Vietnam's anti-Chinese movement in recent years.
Fearful of not knowing the mainland government, most of the Chinese who fled Vietnam chose to sail to Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Macau. Zhou Chunming's parents also died in a shipwreck that fled to Hong Kong, leaving him alone to live in Hong Kong.
"Ready to start!" Wang Zijun patted Zhou Chunming on the shoulder, picked up the guide tube and shouted.
A few girls who were having fun were so frightened that they hurriedly got off the camel, Wang Zijun picked up the prop folding fan and walked into the sand, Tsui Hark had already arranged the camera.
β¦β¦
After a busy day's work, everyone went back to rest exhausted in the evening.
It has been half a month since the start of filming, but only one-third of the scene has been filmed. And Wang Tianlin, who started work at about the same time as Wang Zijun, his Zheng Shaoqiu version of "Chu Liuxiang" has been broadcast on TVB for more than a week.
Wang Tianlin, a dead fat man, actually broadcast the first episode of "Chu Liuxiang" on the eighth day after the start-up. is not filming one episode and broadcasting one episode like an American drama, but Wang Tianlin spent eight days filming a full 30 episodes (60 minutes per episode) of Chu Liuxiang, and also produced the first few episodes by the way.
I heard that the leading actor Zheng Shaoqiu can sleep for up to three or four hours a day, and sometimes when the makeup artist touches up his makeup, he can fall asleep standing up. As soon as the shooting ended, he was directly admitted to the hospital for vacation.
Wang Zijun was speechless when he heard the news, how desperate this is!
After Wang Tianlin's "Chu Liuxiang" was broadcast on TVB, perhaps because there was no Zhao Yazhi to participate, or because there was an extra competition from Jiayi TV Station, the ratings of this TV series were far lower than the results of another time and space. However, "Chu Liuxiang" also achieved a rating of 40%, temporarily ranking first in the ratings of TV dramas of the three TV stations at this stage, reversing the tragic situation of TVB's low ratings this year.
The entertainment edition of "Oriental Daily" said: ""Chu Liuxiang" has set off a martial arts boom again, Hong Kong has a good business of renting bookstores, and Gu Long's novels are becoming more and more popular among Hong Kong people. Zheng Shaoqiu's chic and suave demeanor, which perfectly interprets Chu Liuxiang, a fictional martial arts character, is a key to the success of the entire TV series......
According to the news from Taipei, Wang Zijun's "Legend of Xiang Shuai", which was directed and acted by Wang Zijun, adheres to his consistent concept of slow work and meticulous work, and now it is only less than half of the filming. "Chu Liuxiang" has been sought after by the audience, and it will inevitably become a classic of martial arts dramas, I don't know what "The Legend of Xiangshuai" will look like, we will wait and see. β
Wang Tianlin's "Chu Liuxiang" can be regarded as a complete fire to Gu Long's novel "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", countless Hong Kong citizens who have never read the novel at all, can now tell Chu Liuxiang's plot to the truth, adults naturally comment on Chu Liuxiang's confidantes who are the most beautiful, but the children discuss the most powerful martial arts.
The time soon entered April, and Hollywood's Oscar nominations came out soon, and "The Face of the Heroes" received six nominations, including Best Screenplay and Best Actor.
Until the Oscars, Wang Zijun did not leave for the United States. In the end, "Face Snatcher" successfully defeated "Superman", won the Special Visual Effects Award, and won the Best Sound and Best Art Direction - Decoration Props Award one after another, but unfortunately, the Best Screenplay and Best Actor nominations were all wiped out. β¦,
In the end, "The Face of the Two" won three technical awards: visual effects, sound and props. Only Wang Zijun needed to accept the award for the best art director, but he was not present, and Lazim accepted it on his behalf.
What is Wang Zijun doing?
Naturally, he was busy filming TV series, taking time to have a tryst with Zhao Yazhi while filming, going home every other day to accompany Lin Qingxia, Lin Fengjiao and their children, and sometimes asking Hong Xiaoqiao and Teresa Teng out for a meal, and the days were very leisurely.
By the end of April, TVB's "Chu Liuxiang" was finally broadcast, and at the finale, the ratings reached a terrifying 58%. This is a competition between three TV stations, not two, Li's TV station and Jiayi TV station are a little anxious when they see this situation.
In order to save the popularity, Liwei bought the adaptation rights of "The Legend of the Banner Heroes" from Gu Long at a high price, and summoned its elites to catch up with the show day and night.
Jiashi's side, Wang Zijun is still filming slowly there, and it is not easy to destroy, I don't know when and what month I can finish filming. In a hurry, he actually contacted Gu Long to adapt his "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".
Well, a "Chu Liuxiang", the effect brought by it made Gu Long earn a lot of money.
A few days after the finale of the TVB version of "Chu Liuxiang", Hong Kong citizens suddenly came to a window period for TV dramas and found that they were bored watching any TV series. After Wang Tianlin learned of the situation, he immediately said that he would shoot "The New Biography of Chu Liuxiang", which would allow the audience to see Chu Liuxiang again in less than a month at most, and Hong Kong citizens reacted strongly.
Just when Wang Tianlin's "The New Biography of Chu Liuxiang" was almost finished, Wang Zijun's "The Legend of Xiangshuai" was finally completed and post-production began.
One day in mid-May, Jiashi suddenly announced through the media that Wang Zijun's "The Legend of Xiangshuai" has been produced and will be broadcast in the near future.
At the same time, TVB also came out to speak, and the sequel to "Chu Liuxiang" directed by Wang Tianlin "Chu Liuxiang's New Biography" will be broadcast in three days.
The citizens who have been waiting to see Chu Liuxiang are happy, but they are a little too happy, these two are broadcast at the same time, which one should be watched?
