Chapter 417: In full swing
Outside the ancient city is the vast Gobi Desert, so as long as the wind blows, basically don't think about it, but the western style here is still a little tasteful, the vast earth, the yellow sand is thousands of miles, here people out of thin air a little more pride. It is said that Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" is a film known as the western theme, and Gao Qunshu's new film, which has just been promoted to the ranks of first-line directors with "The Wind", also focuses on the western action style.
"The Decisive Battle of Shama Town" is barely a western movie and a western comedy because of the filming area and style. After filming the first scene, the next day, cameos Zhao Ziqi and Yue Xiaojun arrived one after another, and He Mu also officially entered the Tang Village Chief mode, and the movie began to open in full swing.
Zhao Ziqi is playing a reporter, who is reporting outside a treasure appraisal site, He Mu is ready, with a gray face, an old plaid suit, wearing a travel hat, a bag on his shoulder, and a package in his arms, his face is full of the simplicity of a countryman. When Zhao Ziqi was halfway through speaking, He Mu saw the opportunity and rushed out, and sent business cards to reporters, invited them to travel to Chama Town, and advertised to the TV station camera in a strong Baoding dialect, "We have everything, we have a dragon for food, accommodation and travel, if you stay on the mysterious castle for one night......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ziqi burst into laughter, she couldn't help it, it was so funny, she had never seen He Mu like this. It's subversive.
He Mu is not familiar with Zhao Ziqi, this is the relationship between LeTV, and her laughter quickly infected the audience. Village Chief Tang, who was originally serious about advertising his hometown, couldn't help laughing, "I'm okay, right?" ”
Zhao Ziqi gave a thumbs up, "It's so exciting, it's definitely acting!" "The group performances around me are also applauding, and there are more cute group performances just thinking about it, no wonder I am so handsome than him and I haven't become famous, it turns out that I am poor in acting. Alas!
When filming a drama, I often laugh, and it is even more inevitable to make a comedy laugh, and these laughter videos are sometimes more fun than feature films when they make a collection of highlights. Zhao Ziqi calmed down, Director Li told a few words, He Mu returned to his original position, and the group performers were in place. Filming continues.
This time it went well. There was no laughter, no wrong lines, when Tang Gaopeng finished speaking the advertisement, reporter Zhao Ziqi blocked the camera, and said impatiently, "You go in." Village Chief Tang, who licked his smiling face, went in a little embarrassed, although He Mu had a strong aura, but after entering the role state. He can restrain himself very well, and behave like the head of any village. Of course, He Mu's current hometown village chief is much more decent than him, but movies, from life are higher than life, not an exaggeration, how to create dramatic effects and conflicts.
He Mu's current performance is not achieved overnight, at the beginning, he was really unsure what kind of village chief to create, how to play this role, and later in many rival scenes with Shishi, He Mu slowly had a more mature idea, and filled some details into the role of Tang Gaopeng, including some small actions, tone of speech, commonly used demeanor, etc., it is these details that create a flesh-and-blood and vivid Tang village chief.
There are three experts in treasure appreciation, the left and right are purely soy sauce backgrounds, and the one in the middle acts as a helper for the cultural relics thief, which is not a good thing, because this is a treasure appreciation activity, He Mu originally planned to invite Ma Weidu to make a cameo, but when he learned that he would have a rivalry with He Mu and Ma Liqun, he still refused, "You are all professionals, I won't be ugly in front of you." "Don't be reckless and do what you're not good at, Mr. Ma is still very rational.
Because the crew is well prepared, the scenes have been set up in advance, and as long as the actors are there, they can film, so the progress is very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it is time for Chun Niang played by Shishi to appear.
A major feature of the character "Chun Niang" is pungency, which is a major characteristic that rural women basically have, and it is also very scarce in poetry, she can be lively and cute, and can be deep and melancholy, but she is not easy to say what the taste of "spicy" is, so the path of poetry is a bit narrow, and she has never had related or similar performance experience before.
I have seen a lot of shrews from film and television works, is their performance "spicy", poetry is not accurate, and the shortcomings in this regard were fully exposed in the rehearsal exercises with He Mu, the warmth part was just right, so that she yelled at Tang Gaopeng that she couldn't do well, sometimes she really became a shrew, and sometimes she didn't seem strong enough, He Mu suggested that she go to a farmer's market and other places to see what the state of those big girls and little daughters-in-law who bought vegetables was, and Shishi slowly found her feelings.
While acting, He Mu did not forget to pay attention to the news outside, although the crew said that it was a closed filming, but the transportation was inconvenient, and it was easy to leave this ancient town, but the news inside and outside was very smooth, there were newspapers and magazines, and they could also use a weak signal to surf the Internet, make phone calls, and call the pregnant woman at home every night were all indispensable fixed tasks for He Mu, sometimes Zilin would stick his mobile phone on his belly and let He Mu listen to the sound of the baby's kicking, Although He Mu couldn't hear anything, he would still be surprised and exaggerated, "Wow, his legs are so powerful!" ”
The wife and children are all right, Tao Quduo, who is far away in the United States, also contacted Zhang Yueyue, and Yueyue has already got a list that Lao Tao gave him, which has more than 20 painting requirements, which will be completed by Zhang Yueyue and eventually used in the movie "Art School Girls".
I don't know if it's good or bad news, "Snail House" was really stopped by BTV, and it was cut off and replaced with another drama before it was finished, as the capital station, they were too cautious, and they didn't dare to try it if they were a little deviant, but fortunately, after they tossed it like this, "Snail House" became more famous, and more and more people were curious about what kind of drama this could provoke BTV, and now this drama has been won by Dragon TV and other satellite TV stations, and it will soon be able to meet the audience again.
Nowadays, the most talked about the topic of movies is probably "2012", He Mu hasn't seen it yet, but he already knows its name, and it is like thunder. Many people say that this is another super box office blockbuster comparable to "Transformers 2", which means that the film is very likely to exceed 400 million, you must know that only this year's "Transformers 2" and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" are at the level of 400 million in the history of domestic films.
Of course, this statement is not an exaggeration, it is still very reasonable, on the first day of the release of "2012", counting the zero point field, the box office was 27 million, and the box office on Saturday the next day was 27.5 million, and it should have fallen on the third day of Sunday, but the box office on the day was 33 million, this trend has been upward, although the box office of 87 million in the first week is not top, but compared to the three-day release date, this is already very high, not inferior to "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "Transformers 2" over 100 million in four days, And its box office trend has been rising, which shows the great market potential of the film, and the popularity of "2012" can be regarded as detonating the Chinese New Year schedule in advance.
Now "2012" has become a hot topic, because of the appearance of this movie, people even began to wonder if 2012 will really be the end of the world. In fact, this argument appeared long before the release of "2012", and later with the global release of "2012", this argument became more and more intense, and even the Mayans were moved out, and the date of the end of the world was even accurate to a specific day in 2012.
Seeing this, discerning people basically understand that this is just the hype of film dealers, saying that the professional point is called topic marketing, and it is a very clever marketing method, we can call it "viral marketing", as early as a year ago, "2012" released a trailer, encouraging people to search for "2012" related entries, and then there will be a lot of mysterious topics related to the end of the world, attracting people to explore and pay attention to 2012, until the movie is officially released, forming a super topic storm, Just throwing out a few fake news can cause a lot of discussion and panic among the whole people.
Hollywood's very mature marketing methods have always been what domestic film companies want to learn, and Xue Xiangchen, who is in charge of publicity and distribution in Shuimu Forest, also deliberately took the marketing case of "2012" as the object of research and analysis, and found out seven or eight ways and means that can be used by me.
"2012" in China's popularity and praise even more than the United States, in addition to far beyond the domestic film industry level of production technology and unprecedented scenes, another important reason is the addition of Chinese elements, the movie to save mankind Noah's Ark is on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, led by the Chinese side to complete the production, this alone is very pleasing to the domestic audience.
"The Yankees have saved the earth and saved mankind so many times, this time we finally have our share, we must go and see it!"
"If there are no Chinese, what will humanity do to escape the end times!" This kind of film must be supported. ”
This is a very mainstream view of the domestic audience, the producer of "2012" is right, the domestic film market's love for "2012" will be the most eye-catching scenery for its overseas market, followed by Hollywood studios' attention and coveting of the Chinese film market, they now know that this is a piece of fat, maybe the topic of expanding the number of Hollywood film introductions that has been shelved for two years will be turned out again, I hope that radio and television can withstand the pressure and do not compromise.
It is a good thing to put more and better overseas films into it to increase the sense of competition of domestic filmmakers, but now is not the time, now the fragile Chinese films can not withstand such a big impact, and the blind introduction of Western films may lead to the mainland film market that has been established with great difficulty to completely degenerate into a prop for Hollywood to accumulate money, just like Hong Kong today, Hong Kong filmmakers are still confused about where their path is...... (To be continued......)
