Lin Youlun opened his mouth, and Zhou Yanfa was also very face-saving, but in the already full schedule, he specially squeezed out half a month for "Midnight Bell". In order to take care of Zhou Yanfa's schedule, the crew left for Japan to shoot before the Spring Festival ended, and Wang Guxian complained to Lin Youlun on the phone for this.

The two Hong Kong films "Fairy Tale in the Autumn Festival" and "True Lies", which were introduced by the mainland for the first time, were released at the same time during the Spring Festival, and the movie-watching frenzy triggered by these two films swept the country in just half a month.

"Fairy Tale in the Autumn Season" is the second part of Zhang Wanting's "Immigration Trilogy", the overall style of the film is beautiful and romantic, and the expression of love is tactful and subtle, creating a fairytale-like screen world, and the film quickly won the love of young audiences as soon as it was released. Director Zhang Wanting actually just used the bow ruler and Li Qi's love story to show the living conditions of American immigrants, but he didn't expect this film to become a symbol of romantic love in the hearts of mainland youth, and everything about this movie has become a topic of heated discussion among young men and women.

If "Fairy Tale in the Autumn Festival" is only for young people, "True Lies" is a carnival for the whole people.

For ordinary Chinese audiences, He has never seen such a grandiose, extraordinary, thrilling movie, almost every scene and every paragraph in the film is remarkable, and even many cutscenes are not slackened at all, and the plot of more than 2 hours is not cold at all, and the audience who enters the theater to watch this movie is all amazed, and the excellent production of Hong Kong action movies has reached such an extreme.

The ticket price of this movie is enough to cover half a month's salary of ordinary elementary school, but even so, there are still long queues at the gates of large and small movie theaters across the country. In this era when spiritual, cultural and entertainment is still very scarce, it is unimaginable that a cross-era action blockbuster is attractive to ordinary people. It is against this background that "True Lies" has created a box office miracle. In two weeks after its release in the mainland, the national box office historically exceeded 40 million.

This blowout box office figure shook the entire Chinese film industry, but all this has nothing to do with a remote town in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the residents of the town only know the road, a month ago, the town came to the hundred and tenth, and the hotel of Xie Laoqi in the east of the town was full, not to mention, the town also mobilized a few households to vacate the house and arrange it for the group to stay, of course, there is money, let the few households enter the house, and the rent in hand is worth half a year's income, which makes the side eyes very red.

There is a "director" in this group, who is very big, and the mayor and secretary have to deal with it carefully in front of him. Xie Jin is a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and in terms of rank, he can indeed ignore the secretary and the mayor, but Bi Jing wants to film on the ground, and the filming funds for this film are very abundant, and he also had a rare luxury for a while, and held a big banquet in the town and invited the whole town to have a meal.

Later, everyone learned that this group of people were all here to make movies.

And the only understanding of the residents of the town about the movie is the literary screening team that comes to the town in the middle of every month, and the two consecutive nights of the Luyao movie are the most lively thing in the town.

Watching movies is still a novelty for the residents of the town, let alone making movies, every time the crew shoots outside, there will be a crowd around them, from eighty-year-old men to little children who have just learned to walk.

At the beginning, the town was specially sent in to stop and not let him lean, but later Xie Jin said that as long as it does not affect the shooting, there is no need to rush out, which is why there are so many scenes of onlookers here.

Jinyao filmed the scene when Gong Li first arrived in the town, she painted light makeup on her face, only two thin lips carved by fine carving were painted brightly, delicate red, the cloud temples were fluffy and swept up, the back hair was shoulder-length, bare arms, the red velvet narrow-sleeved cheongsam was covered with a big red velvet small shoulder, the small rounded collar was only half an inch high, and the feet stepped on a pair of high heels, which was the most popular style in the Republic of China.

The residents of the town have never seen such a beautiful female entry, during filming, the onlookers looked straight in the eyes, as soon as Gong Li appeared, she would definitely become the focus of attention, attracting bursts of discussion.

"This girl is so good-looking, just like a fairy on the ground, I used to think that the wife of Fourth Brother Qi in the town was enough to be smart, but now it's much worse than that."

"It's not, otherwise you can act in a movie when you enter the house, but Qi Si's wife can only nurse at home."

"This woman has a big chest and a big buttocks, and at first glance, she is the material for giving birth to a son!"

I don't know who came up with such a sentence in the group, which attracted the unbridled laughter of a thousand old men.

"These bastards, see if I don't tear their white spoon mouths and let them chew their tongues later!" Gong Na, who was watching Gong Li touch up her makeup, stood up angrily, and was about to go over to reason with the group.

Gong Na is Gong Li's second sister, Gong Li didn't even go back for the Spring Festival after joining the crew, so Gong Na made a special trip from Shandong to visit this time, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing when she came to the first time.

Gong Li hurriedly grabbed Gong Na, "Second sister, forget it." ”

"Did you hear what they said? This is obscene and hooliganism! "Gong Na has the unique straightness of the Qilu girl, belonging to the kind of person who can't rub the sand in her eyes, seeing that her sister has been wronged here and has to be a ninja, where can she bear this breath in her heart.

Gong Li shook her head at Gong Na, "There are some things you don't know, I'll talk to you later." ”

Seeing the begging look in her sister's eyes, Gong Na finally held back her temper, but glared viciously at the gossiping guys over there.

When the assistant director from Hong Kong saw this situation, he couldn't help frowning, walked up to Xie Jin's side and said, "Director Xie, this won't work." There are too many onlookers on the side, it is inconvenient for the photographer to take the frame, and it will also affect the performance of the actors, you see if they can stand farther away. ”

Xie Jin also felt that there were so many people around, so the scene couldn't continue to be filmed, so he called in to persuade the onlookers to leave.

The crew's entry into the past negotiations, the onlookers quickly dispersed, Gong Li put on makeup, and the scene officially started filming.

Facing the camera lens, Gong Li quickly adjusted her mood, and when the clapperboard closed in front of the camera, she smiled and walked over with light steps.

She wore a tight-fitting cheongsam, showing off her slender posture more and more, and her high collar wrapped around her slender neck, and around her neck was a flower-like face stained with the morning glow.

The high heels made a crisp sound of "stepping" on the bluestone pavement, and the cloud-like hair behind the head was beautiful and elegant with the rhythmic movement of the footsteps.

Three cameras were arranged at the shooting site, one in the front and one in the back, and one set up on a moving rail, to simultaneously shoot Gong Li's posture when walking.

Xie Jin did not stay in front of the monitor, but stood behind the first camera with his hands crossed, and Gong Li's expression and demeanor could be seen clearly.

Halfway through the shooting, Xie Jin shouted to stop, beckoned Gong Li to his side, "Your expression just now was not natural enough, and your smile was a little stiff, ask the makeup artist to find you a mirror over, you can find your own feeling first, this scene is reshot!" ”

This scene has been filmed three times this time, but Gong Li didn't dare to have any complaints, and honestly followed Xie Jin's request, first practiced her expression in the mirror for a while, and waited for the photographer to re-bury the camera position over there, and then went over to reshoot.

"It turns out that filming is so boring!" Finally got to the end of the evening, Gong Li led Gong Na back to her room in the town hotel, and Gong Na complained as soon as she entered the house.

Gong Li poured a glass of water for her sister, "It's much better now, you can shoot a scene three or four times, and at the beginning, you have to shoot a scene seven or eight times to not necessarily satisfy the director." ”

Gong Na sat on the bed with the cup in her hand, Gong Li sat down next to her, and the two sisters talked about this topic.

"By the way, how long will this movie be filmed, and when will it be released?"

Gong Li's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, what was the movie "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", she didn't dare to tell her family at all, at this time the second sister asked, she naturally felt a little weak.

"Second sister, why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"

Gong Na said helplessly: "I don't know who spread the news, now my colleagues in the unit know that I have a sister who is a movie actress, and every time they see me during this time, they ask, when will the movie made by your sister be released?" I'm almost annoyed by them! ”

"Do your colleagues in your unit like watching movies so much?" Gong Li felt a little strange, it would be good to be able to enter the cinema once or twice a year, why did everyone care about this matter all of a sudden.

"It's not the two movies imported from Hong Kong that make trouble, everyone is fascinated and running to the cinema, the love movie called "Fairy Tale in the Autumn Season" is okay, it's just that I love to watch it when I'm young, and another action movie called "True Lies" is terrible, I know that a lot of people are the whole family to watch together, just like a holiday, at the beginning, I couldn't buy a ticket at all, and a lot of them went to the cinema to ask for a relationship, just to get a movie ticket." Gong Na said a lot of words in one breath before stopping, and the more Gong Li listened, the more surprised she became.

"The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is a co-production, almost half of the crew members are from Hong Kong, Gong Li usually communicates with them, she once heard them mention the movie "True Lies", but she didn't expect it to cause such a big sensation when it was released in the mainland.

After joining the crew for more than two months, I didn't expect so many things to happen outside, and I blamed this town for being too remote, and Gong Li didn't even hear any rumors in the crew.
