Chapter 175: The Terminal of Happiness

Chapter 175: The Terminal of Happiness

Liang Xiǎo Long is a person who likes habits, and this time the team also followed "My Regiment Leader, My Regiment", and Bill and others almost became his royal team. Now, with the addition of Danny, it is equivalent to setting up the crew, and there are some xiǎo horns left, and he can easily find suitable candidates in the actors' union.www.biquge.info It is worth mentioning that among the many horns, there is also a very stupid horn sè, that is, the stupid xiǎo son who doesn't know how to put ice cubes into a mineral water bottle and is beaten in the end.

After doing all this, Liang Xiǎo Long returned to China alone, and he first went to Wudang Mountain, and selected several scenic spots as needed. Then immediately transferred to Sichuan, came to Yibin City, and entered the Shunan Bamboo Sea. In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the scene where Chow Yun-fat and Zhang Ziyi chase in the bamboo forest was filmed here, and Liang Xiǎo Long also has a scene set here, and he came here to shoot today.

Shunan Zhuhai covers an area of 120 square kilometers, with a core scenic area of 44 square kilometers, and a total of 134 scenic spots in eight main scenic spots and two major scenic spots. There are 58 kinds of bamboo in the scenic area, more than 70,000 acres, which is the largest original "green bamboo park" in China that integrates landscapes, dissolving, lakes and waterfalls, and has a long history of cultural landscape; The vegetation coverage rate is 87, which is a natural oxygen bar with a very high content of air anion in China.

After a day of shopping, Liang Xiǎo Long finally chose two scenic spots, the Jade Promenade is located in the depths of the bamboo forest in the bamboo sea, and the pavement is paved with local natural red sè sè sand stone. The dense old bamboo and new fence arches on both sides, covering the sky and the sun, the red sè carpet-style highway and the green sè screen sealed Nanzhu jiāo reflect each other, plus the road here rises and falls, the bamboo on both sides of the top strives to lean inward, almost arching, and the promenade is even more deep and beautiful, thus becoming the most characteristic symbol of the bamboo sea in Shunan.

According to Liang Xiǎo Long, you can use the quiet environment here to explain the state of mind of the protagonist of the NV, or use the bamboo on both sides of the corridor to carry out a series of training.

The colorful waterfall is located in the gourd valley between Shigu Mountain and Shiluo Mountain, the Shuilu River that flows out of the deep forest, is divided into four levels under the Huilong Bridge and hangs the colorful waterfall cliff, the drop is close to the first level, it flies from the Huilong Bridge, the second level is wide, the width is 3 meters, the drop is 15 meters, the momentum is magnificent, the lànghuā of the four layers of falling stones at the head of the waterfall is impacted, and the third pole waterfall is connected into a line. The third pole, 4 meters wide and 50 meters high, flies straight down, and takes the lead; At noon on a sunny day, the sun shines through, and you can see that the rainbow is born at the bottom of the pool. The fourth level, 5 meters wide, 74 meters high, outside the end of the valley mouth, down is the cliff, stand on its head, can only hear its sound but can not see its appearance, so it is called "Feisheng Waterfall".

In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Ziyi jumped this waterfall, but Liang Xiǎo Long chose this waterfall not for jumping, but still for training, and it is also a relatively old-fashioned waterfall to practice under the waterfall. However, the environment here is majestic and beautiful enough to fit the story in the film well.

didn't care about having a glimpse of the bamboo sea in Shunan, Liang Xiǎo Long hurried to Beijing again, since there were some scenes to be filmed in China, he had to find a cooperation with the China Film Troupe. For the arrival of Liang Xiǎo Long, a big celebrity, Han Sanping expressed his great welcome, without him, just last year, China Film cooperated with Yanhuang Film Company, Disney and Pyra Méng each for a film, all of which obtained domestic production and distribution rights, and the profit exceeded one billion yuan, which also improved the strength of China Film a lot.

"Although there are not many scenes in the new film in China, it also needs a few attractions, and it will trouble you again." Liang Xiǎo Long smiled and shook hands with Han Sanping.

"I wish you were bothering me every day." Han Sanping said with a smile that as long as the cooperation is reached, there is basically no reason to lose money, and the impact of Hollywood blockbusters on China's box office is too great.

"As for the cooperation model, someone from my company will come over." Liang Xiǎo Long is not good at negotiation, and he does not like to talk about business, and these things are best implemented by Carl. Liang Xiǎo Long preferred to delineate his own filming location: "In this regard, it will be troublesome for Mr. Han to implement it as soon as possible, and the new film will be filmed soon." ”

"It's easy." Han Sanping didn't care, China Film is a state-owned enterprise, and it is easy to get cooperation with the local government. Moreover, whether it is Wudang Mountain or Shunan Zhuhai are both tourist attractions, if Liang Xiǎo Long can choose these two places for filming, it will undoubtedly promote local tourism, and they can even open it for free. For example, Wudang Mountain, because of the filming of "Terracotta Warriors", the number of tourists immediately increased, and even attracted many foreign tourists.

"There's one more thing, I might have to trouble you, Captain." Han Sanping said his intentions with a smile, and each of the three Chinese-themed Hollywood blockbusters introduced last year exceeded 300 million yuan at the domestic box office, especially "My Leader, My Group", which reached a terrifying 450 million yuan, breaking the domestic box office record. This has given Han Sanping the idea of creating a Chinese blockbuster, but shooting a blockbuster requires special effects as the foundation, but what is most lacking in China is the technology in this area, and it can only be said that it is just starting out and needs the support of Hollywood technology companies.

Han Sanping first thought of Yanhuang Film Company, of course, this itself is also the content of the cooperation, Weta Digital Studio provides technical support to China Film, but the distribution rights of domestic blockbusters in European and American countries are to be given to Yanhuang Film Company.

"Can you tell us about the subject matter of the story? Of course, if it's inconvenient, forget it. Liang Xiǎo Long couldn't help but be curious, it's only 98 years now, and a blockbuster movie is about to be made in China, which is much faster than the progress in his previous life.

"Of course, it's a story of assassination." Han Sanping briefly talked about the content of the story, and Liang Xiǎo Long couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, isn't this "Hero"? Liang Xiǎo Long is a little worried about China Film and Zhang Yimou, "Hero" is undoubtedly a good film, but its "Luo Sheng mén" narrative method makes it difficult for Chinese people to accept, because it is the first time that Chinese people have accepted a domestic blockbuster, so the concept has not yet turned around, and it is difficult to accept it for a while. In addition, people with a heart can push it, so that it will continue immediately, forming a strange situation of foreign applaudation and domestic scolding.

"But the circumstances are different in this life, and the situation should be better." Liang Xiǎo Long thought for a while, although there have not been domestic blockbusters yet, but Hollywood has already produced four blockbusters, "Terracotta Warriors", "Immortal War Spirit", "Sui and Tang Heroes", and "My Regiment Leader, My Regiment", but they are all applauded, and the Chinese people should also adapt to it, I believe that the situation will be better after the release of "Hero".

"This is an agreement between our two companies, and I will personally greet Peter." Liang Xiǎo Long said with a smile that cooperation is inevitable, and China Film will also send some filmmakers to Weta Digital Studio to learn special effects technology, of course, the core technology will never be leaked.

Talking about the basic content of cooperation, Liang Xiǎo Long rested in Beijing for two days, during which he also took the old man and Xiǎo Tingting to climb the Great Wall once, and had a very pleasant time.

Two weeks have passed, Liang Xiǎo Long came to the main hall of the Kung Fu Martial Arts Hall again, and just saw that Hillary was training, and between his fists and feet, there was already a bit of a shadow of a martial artist, and combined with some special effects technology, and then two stand-ins, the picture produced definitely had a strong visual impact. But Liang Xiǎo Long didn't stop there, he decided to give Hillary another week to try to make it more perfect.

"It's going to take another week......" Hillary's voice was long, she was almost exhausted to death in the past half a month, and she would not be exhausted for another week.

"Don't you feel like you're getting a lot better?" Liang Xiǎo Long smiled: "Just train for health." ”

"That's right, after the first day of training, I poured chuáng on it when I went home, and the next day my muscles were still sore, but I don't feel much anymore." Hillary Clinton doesn't deny this, and gradually she also likes Chinese kung fu, and the reason why she complains is actually to start filming faster and appear on the screen sooner. But since Liang Xiǎo Long asked for another week of practice, she didn't have anything to say, anyway, it was all for the film.

And this week, it is also very important for Yanhuang Film Company, there is another new film to be released, "Happiness Terminal". The script for this film is from a script agency, which was directed by Steven in the previous life, but now Steven is working on "Saving Ryan", so he has changed his director, led by Quentin. Directed by Tarantino, he is also a well-known Hollywood director, and his representative works currently include "Reservoir Dogs", "Vulgar Xiǎo Said" and "Dangerous Liaisons". However, Liang Xiǎolong's favorite is his future film, "Shameless Hundan", which tells the story of the German Nazis and the Allies in World War II, and is also an anti-war film.

"Congratulations, another foreign film, I believe that in two years, your company will not need your script to support it." Shirley also came to the premiere and has been working together for several years, and she knows very well what kind of person Liang Xiǎo Long is, so she usually moves around a lot and pays attention to maintaining the relationship between the two families.

"Yes, when that day comes, I can launch the entertainment industry." Liang Xiǎo Long joked.

"Then I think, a lot of shadows will have to cry to death." Shirley smiled: "If any of the three major Hollywood directors fall, the filmmakers will have to die of sadness." ”

"No kidding, did the filming of "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties 2" go well? I went back to China a few days ago, and a lot of movies are looking forward to it. Liang Xiǎo Long asked, he is also looking forward to this film, because the most essential thing is that he is a senior filmmaker, and watching the new film come out is his greatest pleasure.

"Fortunately, it will be released in June." Shirley said with a smile that she also cares about this film, and as long as it can continue the success of the previous one, she is confident that she will continue to do this series.

After chatting for a while, the red carpet has been walked, everyone enters the theater, and after the interactive session, the film will be officially released. It is worth mentioning that one of the difficulties in the filming is that the whole story takes place at JFK Airport, but the daily work of the airport cannot be stopped, which causes there to be no filming locations. To this end, at the mention of director Quentin, Carl added an additional amount of money to make the film's set designer Alex. McDowell specially designed and built an airport as large and functional as a real airport, and most of the filming was done at this simulated airport, with a small part being shot at Mirabell Airport in Méng, Canada. As a result, the original production cost of $35 million has been raised to $65 million.

The film tells the story of the protagonist's coup d'état in his hometown on the way to the United States, the coup was overthrown, the documents held by the United States were not recognized by the US immigration authorities, and he fell into the embarrassing situation of being denied entry but unable to return to China.

In an instant, Victor became an isolated man without a country or a home, and he became a victim of changes in international politics. While detained at the airport, Victor had only two options: either to return to his home country, or to get a valid document to immigrate to the United States, but after the coup d'état in his country, the documents in his possession were not recognized by the U.S. immigration authorities, and his documents were apparently invalid. So he encountered the embarrassing situation of being denied entry but unable to return to China. Standing in this country that does not belong to him, looking at the strange crowds coming and going, Victor can't help but feel dazed. In desperation, he could only stay at the airport and sleep on a chair in the lobby, take a shower in the bathroom, and live by serving passing passengers. All he now has is his unfree body, and a xiǎo suitcase containing a change of clothes, a razor, and a deprecated identification.

By chance, Victor met a beautiful flight attendant, Amilia. Emilia unknowingly has a crush on Victor and feels sleepy about her thoughts, Victor begins to look for a job in order to have dinner with Emilia, and slowly she falls in love with this delicate and honest man. A good show of "Seon lost his horse" was staged in this way.

During this time, he made three good friends, and his kindness and dedication touched the staff and store staff at the airport. Nine months later, the war ended, peace returned to his country, and he ended up in the United States fulfilling his father's last wish.

"The plot is quite interesting." After watching the film, Shirley couldn't help but be a good story, and it was a great story, reflecting the current situation of the entire United States from an airport in xiǎoxiǎo.

"It should be said that this is a crash course in American culture at the airport." Liang Xiǎo Long also laughed, and the protagonist of the story, Victor, has an extraordinary ability to follow the situation: when he finds that his passport is invalid because his country has been destroyed by the war, and that he can neither enter the United States nor return to China, he is content to stay at New York's JFK Airport.

In the airport, there are all kinds of Americans working in the airport, and American culture is everywhere, where you can experience racial surprises and differences everywhere, which is equivalent to saying that Victor has fully experienced American culture in the limited space of the airport, or that Victor has taken a crash course in American culture in the American melting pot.

"But to be honest, I'm not optimistic about the box office, at least not too high in the United States." Shirley whispered that although she is also an American, she is in a high position, and she sees this society more clearly. The story in the film is a microcosm of the general environment of the United States, so it is almost a dream for a film with a certain satirical significance for Americans to win a high box office in the United States.

"But it's not too bad, but I'm sure the box office overseas will be good." Liang Xiǎo Long still agrees with Shirley's statement, which is also an inevitable phenomenon, such as if you make a film dedicated to satirizing Chinese and take it to China to be screened, how many people will watch it? And how many people will huā money to watch a film that satirizes themselves?

"Yes, it's a successful film anyway." Shirley nodded, and then went to shake hands with director Quentin: "Congratulations, it's another sè work." ”

"I just hope that there won't be too many people scolding me tomorrow." Quentin laughed lightly, he knew very well that his work would attract scolding, but as a conscientious director, he would never be afraid of being scolded, if the film could awaken the conscience of more people and put an end to more bad phenomena, then he would never mind how many people were scolding him.

This is Quentin. Tarantino, is also a great director.

"But I think more people will like you." Shirley smiled: "Every film that targets the current situation of society will provoke scolding, and last year's captain's "Boy Don't Cry" was the same, but it made more people like him. ”

In fact, as Shirley said, there are applause, and naturally there are scolding, among which the Chicago Sun's criticism of the film and director Quentin is particularly fierce, which also cites many examples to prove that the United States is a fast-growing, compatible, fair and harmonious country, and those people in the film are not non-existent, but they are only a part of the extreme, but they are deliberately exaggerated by the director. Therefore, directly defining the film as an anti-American cultural film, it is said that director Quentin consciously slandered American culture.

It has to be said that the Chicago Sun's comments are unfair and do not look at the problem from an objective point of view. Any character in the film exists in society, and there are not a few, including good people and bad people. What the film wants to tell everyone is not that society is rotten and rubbish, but to tell everyone to become that kind of person, not to be that kind of person.

However, newspapers tend to focus only on sales, and they only care about what kind of stories the audience likes to see, rather than objective reports. Of course, there are exceptions, and the Los Angeles Times reported on it relatively objectively, with the headline "What kind of person are you?" Want to be that kind of person again? It analyzes almost every corner in the film, and then divides the corner to various social phenomena, and finally leaves enough room for the reader's imagination.

As soon as this comment came out, it immediately caused a strong reaction, and almost everyone who watched the film wondered, what kind of person do they belong to? Why did you become this kind of person? Why can't you change some xiǎomáo disease and become a different kind of person......

The major film review networks have caused a very strong response, and countless film mis are discussing, but the box office of the film is as Shirley thought, although the local box office is not too bad, but it is not high, and it only took three days to win 21 million US dollars, which is definitely not high.

After reading these reports, Liang Xiǎo Long has returned to China with the crew, and the most important drama of the year is about to begin.
