844 Hani Village
This film, which was not originally a mass movie-watching group in Hong Kong, was also turned out by many audiences in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in the afterglow of Qin Guan after a year of screening. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
And the hit of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in North America has just passed, and the movie that belongs to the bigger storm in the world has been released globally in a state of surprise and unpreparedness.
Due to director Yin Li's forward-looking, "The Ballad of Yunshui" unexpectedly achieved good results in the winter vacation of the New Year.
Originally, the distributor of the entire film, the senior management of China Film Group and some people in the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television were very disapproving of the film's producer and distributor of releasing the film so early.
In the process of visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, who would go to the cinema to watch the last movie in the cold winter?
But after seeing that the box office of the theme love movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" reached 27 million just two weeks after its release, it was immediately scheduled for an extra month and doubled the number of screenings.
And when the movie "Da Vinci's Code" was just released in the world, and after it was released together, those filmmakers who like to make an afterthought expressed their deep respect for the forward-looking director of Yin Li's team.
In fact, this is the benefit of the little traitor's tipping, and it is indeed a happy thing to have a well-informed bond between the two oceans.
Because Qin Guan has a close relationship with the film companies of both sides, he has a basic grasp of the time from the editing of the whole film to the final release.
It is the basic rule of the industry to give director Yin Li an estimate of the release time of the films he participated in.
It wasn't until the release of "The Da Vinci Code" that "The Ballad of Yunshui" was released with a box office of 53 million, completing the feat of investing in the main theme movie for the first time, recovering the cost and making a small profit.
At this time, China Film Group knew how correct the advice Qin Guan gave them.
The world is caught in a storm of the Da Vinci code, which has taken the right to broadcast movies in major countries in the world and has been released at the same time, attracting all the hearts of moviegoers around the world.
The solemnity of religion, the logic of decryption, the suspenseful plot, the analysis of human nature and the world's most daring questioning of religious ideas have all made this movie a title on the cusp.
And Qin Guan's performance in it is also very remarkable, so that a group of professionals who like to elevate themselves and claim to be film critics can see the other side of Qin Guan.
The control of the rhythm of suspense movies and thriller movies, as well as the use of micro-expressions and the creation of atmosphere that are different from literary films, are all proudly reflected in this young actor.
This first-week box office, $49 million, ranked first in the North American box office list, and the global weekly box office of $120 million is like a vacuum cleaner, which also allows more big-budget films to find their direction in an instant.
The film scripts that sought Qin Guan's cooperation, investment, sharing, and stake in them drifted like snowflakes to the headquarters of his studios in New York and the capital.
But the clerks in the office can only clean and sort out the stacks of higher and higher scripts on a regular basis, but they can't make decisions for their masters.
Because Qin Guan at this time had already gone to the film crew of "The Sun Also Rises" to report.
On the one hand, it is to avoid the stormy entertainment brought to him by the Da Vinci code, so that Cong Nianwei, who lives with him, no longer has to sneak home like a thief, and the door of the National Institute of Architecture will not be caught three times and twice because he can't find Qin Guan, and he retreats to harass Cong Nianwei's crazy men and women.
On the other hand, he had already promised Jiang Wen that he would come to shoot his equally controversial movie.
This faint, lingering movie of that era, expressing the madness of human nature.
Not to mention that the director is the best at playing Jiang Wen, the rural scene in the filming of the movie is no problem to choose which city is on the edge, but Jiang Wen, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, has to choose a place with red flowers and willows, clear water and blue sky.
No, Qin Guan first arrived in Kunming by plane, and then took a train to Yuanyang County, the closest to the village, and then under the leadership of the crew escorts, he drove the crooked jeep and arrived at their final destination, the Hani Folk Village in Jingkou.
This small village with only 150 households and less than 1,000 people is located in the middle of the mountainside of Yunnan, where the sky is blue and the water is clear.
The woods here are unusually luxuriant, with birds and cicadas chirping, full of a strong primitive local atmosphere.
In Jiang Wen's words, this can reflect the beauty of China's humanity and the elegance and magnificence of the scenery in the lens of the movie.
In front of the high-decibel camera, only such a view can afford the scene he wants to shoot.
This movie is divided into four independent stories, and among these four stories, there are lines interspersed in them, and it is the fate between people that has become the connection point of these four stories.
And the first short story is the whole scene of Qin Guan and Zhou Yun, coupled with the beautiful environment here, and a simple extra, it forms a complete story line.
It's a little bland, but it's an essential part.
Because Qin Guan was later, he naturally met with the last batch of shooting props that were transported together.
Looking at the car full of pebbles and the carload of red soil, Qin Guan in the car was extremely puzzled.
'Hani Village, is this planning to renovate the whole village? Doesn't it mean that this is the only remaining pristine village in China? Is it one of the human environments protected by the state and the autonomous region? Is this willing to destroy and transform for the sake of a movie? ’
'How is that possible? The film assistant on the side quickly waved his hand and explained: "On the contrary, director Jiang Wen is afraid of the man-made damage to the environment caused by the film. ’
'The erection of the room we used for the shooting, as well as digging pits, climbing trees, pebbles, etc., are all bought from the construction site by the props team, and they are not inferior to the local things in Hani Village. ’
During the filming here, the whole crew had to be self-sufficient in the scenes, and they were carefully framed and filmed without touching the original scenes. ’
When we're done shooting, we're going to dismantle the scene and pull the red clay stones away again!" ’
Speaking of this, the assistant on the side was a little indignant: "Our crew is a really big investment, but Emperor Group has united two or three companies and prepared a total investment of more than 10 million US dollars for us." ’
It's not like some crews, who claim to have an investment of 300 million, but in fact, who knows how much money there is? The movie hasn't started filming yet, and it's on the destruction of Shangri-La! ’
Hearing this, Qin Guan keenly heard the dissatisfaction of the little assistant beside him, and he subconsciously thought of a film that he had refused.
'You're not talking about the movie Wuji, are you? is known as Director Chen's transformation work, challenging the pioneer attempt of commercial films, why did they also choose to shoot in Yunnan? ’
As soon as the little assistant in the car heard Qin Guanzheng get to the point, he complained as if he had found the backbone: "That's right, it's the Wuji that Director Chen wants to shoot." ’
"A small part of the filming locations of our director Jiang Wen are also in Shangri-La, and it stands to reason that we chose the mountainous area, and they chose the sea of flowers in Tianchi and Shangri-La, which are 108,000 miles apart. ’
'Guess what his lady said?' It is said that their scenes are built with the money of investors, and the filming location will be decided according to the process of the filming, sorry, or you will shoot other scenes first, and then talk about it after our movie is finished! ’
Hey, that's awesome.
Qin Guan raised his eyebrows: "What, Director Jiang Wen agreed?" ’
The little assistant on the side raised his nostrils: "How is it possible, Director Jiang Wen listened to the other party's answer, just one word, p!" ’
There's character and I like it. Unexpectedly, the polite Jiang Wen is also arrogant in his bones.
This is also the ultimate driving force behind the fact that he is still filming the story he wants to express in his heart in a red movie environment.
With a hint of respect for this movie, Qin Guan, under the leadership of the little assistant who was already enthusiastic, went directly to the theme of this movie.
In Jiang Wen's words, that is, let's have a scene first, and recognize the actors in the crew.
There are only two main actors in this scene, Qin Guan and Zhou Yun, Qin Guan plays the son, Zhou Yun plays the mother, and the mother is one year younger than Qin Guan.
Qin Guan was in the semi-open-air dressing room in the village, and whenever the makeup artist took care of his hair, he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yun's direction.
As if deliberately beautifying, a widowed mother with her eldest son alone, in that era, except for her temples were a little white, there were no wrinkles on her face.
Except for the appearance without makeup, she couldn't see the traces of suffering brought to her by time and life.
It's not scientific.
In today's society, even the most well-maintained women, except for those who have plastic surgery, will have traces of time when they are about forty years old.
This image of this person is not intentional, right?
With such a guess, Qin Guan naturally ran to Jiang Wen to find a sense of existence when he finished changing clothes and walked out of the bamboo house.
He pulled the snow-white shirt he was wearing, which could be seen to be the style of dress of the ethnic minorities in Yunnan.
The placket jacket, the blue pants, and the wide-mouth cropped pants with the national style, on Qin Guan's body, Leng gave a little sunshine and handsomeness, and a little fashionable national style.
But this man can't speak, and when he does, his true nature is revealed.
Qin Guan looked around left and right, squatted in front of Jiang Wen, and discussed the appearance of the characters in the play. (To be continued.) )
