Chapter 183: Power on
Birthdays are always happy, especially when all your friends and family celebrate together.
Who can say that such a grand birthday once in four years is not as good as having a dull birthday every year.
Hu Yifei has officially passed the age of 20, but he is still unbelievably young. And now, his second TV series is about to start filming. This time it is no longer a petty fight, just the exposure of the cast has attracted the attention of the industry.
Who can bring together actors like Jiang Wen, Ni Dahong, Jin Shijie, Sun Honglei, Liu Ye, Liu Ye, Chen Kun, and Fan Binbin. What's more, there are powerful actors like Huang Bo, Wu Xiubo, Zhang Hanyu, and Liu Qingqing, who are not very famous, but have already emerged.
The behind-the-scenes lineup is also completely the same team as the movie, and I heard that even the film uses more 60mm film, which is a posture to shoot the TV series as a movie.
At the same time, the promotion of the TV series has also been launched from the beginning of filming.
A huge conceptual poster, hung on the wall of a large skyscraper at the busiest intersection in Beijing, is dozens of meters long and dozens of meters wide, which is extremely eye-catching. It was Hu Yifei's back photo, a tattoo all over the back of the entire upper body.
In the darkness, a beam of light was shot, and the ambiguity of the reflection added a bit of mystery. Below are two huge drama titles "Prison Break"!
This poster will be hung here for months, so that pedestrians can see it every day.
Family Pictures, together with CCTV, held a heavy start-up press conference in Beijing.
Jiang Wen and Hu Yifei became the key objects of care, "Director Hu, how did you invite Director Jiang Wen to accompany you in your own TV series, can you control so many big-name stars at the same time?" ”
Hu Yifei said: "I don't think it's difficult, everyone is a very dedicated actor." As for Director Jiang Wen, as well as Teacher Ni Dahong, Teacher Jin Shijie, etc., it is a bit too much to use the word control, and I will learn from them with an open mind. If someone is itchy and wants to direct a few scenes in person, I think I'll be happy to get out of the way. Then take the opportunity to be lazy. I'm telling the truth because it would be reassuring. When he said this, his eyes glanced at Jiang Wen several times.
Jiang Wen rolled his eyes in his heart, "Oh, cough."
A thick dry cough from Jiang Wen's tone snatched back the camera in an instant, "I'm just an actor in this drama, that's all!" ”
"Then may I ask Director Jiang, how did Hu Yifei invite you over?"
"The main thing is that the script is good, and the characters are good." Jiang Wen said: "To be honest, I have filmed so many contacts, and I have read not a hundred or eighty scripts, but I rarely see anyone dare to shoot a TV series with this theme." More daring than I am, I was very interested, and then I came. ”
The reporters looked at each other and asked about other hot names.
Chen Kun, Sun Honglei, Liu Ye and others all praised the script. It seems that there is really nothing in the sky and on the earth, which makes the reporters' hearts itch.
"So Director Hu, this drama is the first time that the family film industry has cooperated with CCTV, what are your visions for this TV series?"
Hu Yifei was a little incomprehensible and asked, "Vision? What does this mean, is it asking ratings? If it's a ratings issue, I'm hoping to stabilize the annual ratings champion. If I ask anything else, I hope that this TV series can become a masterpiece of family film TV dramas, go overseas, and even go out of Asia to test the American drama market. ”
As soon as these words came out, not only the reporters were stunned, but even Jiang Wen glanced at him strangely.
The script is very formal, but they don't see that this show has the potential to break into the American market. American dramas are a completely different genre from Asian TV dramas. If Hu Yifei said that he wanted to try the Korean drama market, it is estimated that no one would doubt it, but you have to say that he would test the American drama market......
Many people shook their heads in their hearts and said in their hearts: Sure enough, they are still too young, even if they look very stable, there will be times when they are impetuous.
……
The press conference was a success, and at least the next day, the media devoted almost all of its space to "Prison Break."
Feng Xiaogang is preparing "There Are No Thieves in the World", and Huayi has officially signed a contract with Liu Dehao, waiting for the news to be announced to the outside world at a later date. Originally, the king still regarded Hu Yifei as a fierce rival and kept an eye on his information, but he didn't expect Hu Yifei to return to the field of TV dramas after making a name for himself in the film industry.
Feng Xiaogang: "What the hell is this guy doing?" ”
Wang Zhongjun also frowned: "Even Jiang Wen ran over, isn't he preparing for his first movie after his comeback next year, and now there is still time to run to shoot a TV series?" Is it a supporting character?! ”
Wang Zhonglei said in a weird manner: "Maybe people don't look down on Huayi anymore, and maybe they will switch to the family film industry." ”
“……”
Regardless of the outside reaction, for the crew, these are just a very simple beginning.
The family film industry began to recruit group actors in the circle, and there were a lot of them, and they had to look distinctive, and those who were strong and strong were preferred. I'm still adapting here, trying out the scene and shooting at the same time. The other team of the crew has already set off for the magic capital and officially started filming the first scene of the first episode in Lujiazui.
And by the time "Prison Break" officially started filming, the entire filming venue became more lively.
Visiting classes and making cameos, the filming site of the "Prison Break" crew in the Beijing suburb prison has become the easiest place to see stars...... Those familiar faces can make people completely dazzled.
What's more, there are a huge number of extras, dressed in neat prison uniforms and playing, as well as those big names. All in accordance with Hu Yifei's requirements, long hair is converted into short hair, and short hair is shaved into a board size. And with so many actors and elite actors acting together, the benefits are very obvious. There is one person who is more energetic, and everyone else is not far behind.
Sometimes Hu Yifei thinks that the lens is already good, but this is not enough, because when he said it to others before, he was satisfied, not good. So he didn't have to open his mouth at all, and this group of motivated actors had to take the initiative to say: "Director, why don't we do it again?" ”
The policeman played by Jiang Wen is mostly outside the prison. Ni Dahong plays the big boss behind the scenes, and the scenes are relatively small, mostly concentrated in the later stage.
Inside the prison is a battlefield, and outside the prison is also a battlefield. Because "Prison Break" moved into China, it can no longer show many scenes such as black-and-white race wars and prison killings in the original book. There are so few human rights in China's prisons, and if it weren't for the need for adaptation, I am afraid it would be difficult to even fight in groups. He has no choice but to seek supplements from other places, so it is necessary to add a super police detective dedicated to solving the case outside the prison, which can also be linked to the situation inside the prison to increase the plot advancement and suspense.
Of course, when there was no Jiang Wenxi, Hu Yifei would not have waited for such a big director in vain.
"Director Jiang, there is a scene here that is in a hurry, I want to hurry to put on makeup, and by the way, shoot the scene in the infirmary, can you do it for you?"
Jiang Wen waved his hand angrily, "No way!" ”
Hu Yifei immediately sighed, with an expression of great distress that he couldn't find anyone to help. Jiang Wen smiled, "Act, act hard, if you continue in this state, maybe you can win the actor in more than ten years." ”
Hu Yifei had no choice but to do it himself. The tattoo makeup on his body was super time-consuming, and he could only put on makeup while constantly dealing with the crew who came to inquire about various things. Fortunately, he knows the entire crew well, and he can guide the river while sitting still. But this will obviously reduce efficiency.
Jiang Wen watched it for a long time, and suddenly spoke, "What kind of scene, show it to me." ”
Hu Yifei was overjoyed, "Outside scenes, I'm going to the magic capital." I wrote all the storyboards and notes. I don't need to bother you, isn't this that the assistant director is not in place? If Director Jiang is willing to help, then this drama can be regarded as a ...... we will direct together."
"Don't!" Jiang Wen hurriedly interrupted.
He is still within the ban period, where can he openly direct, not to mention that he can't look down on the director of a TV series.
opened the script and looked, "Damn, where is this a little bit of a scene!" It's clear that he wants to find a free laborer, this kid is really unkind! ”
