Chapter 860. "Qin Shi Huang" started filming

readx;

Chinese mainland, the ancient city of Xianyang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, reverberating the bowels.

Where the eternal romance is, it is full of vastness.

At 3:40 p.m., the plane landed at Xianyang International Airport, Chen Xiaotang and Fa Ge came down, and the outside of the airport was already crowded with people.

A red banner was bold and eye-catching, which read, "Welcome Mr. Chen Xiaotang to visit us!" ”

I don't know what the local leaders think, whether they regard Chen Xiaotang as a movie star, or as a superior leader, or an investor from Hong Kong.

Chen Xiaotang didn't care about this, he had been on the plane for so long, and he was inevitably sore, but before he could move twice, suddenly the gongs and drums were noisy, but a gong and drum team with a twist of Yangge jumped out from behind the banner.

In an instant, Chen Xiaotang was knocked and dizzy. It's not that he can't accept this kind of traditional folk culture, on the contrary, he has always been interested in this kind of traditional repertoire such as twisting Yangge and turning the two. The reason why I am dizzy is really because the appearance of this show is too shocking, the time is wrong, the place is wrong, and the characters are not right.

The people here are too enthusiastic, look at that aunt, it is estimated that she is almost sixty years old, beating the waist drum and twisting Yangge, and jumping twice from time to time Auntie, you really have a heart, I wish you a happy life, don't flash your waist!

And that little sister, only a few years old, even beats the small waist drum, looks like she is still a master, and from time to time she plays tricks, which is dazzling.

Chen Xiaotang is really grateful. I am grateful for the enthusiasm of the people in the northwest, and I am grateful to the big guy for coming here to pick up the airport despite the heat, but he is also very depressed. Is it necessary to call on so many people to come and suffer? You see, that group of half-grown children, like this, should hide in the shade of the classroom to go to school, instead of running to this hot sun, holding flowers in their hands and shouting: "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!" "Don't you see that little fat man inside is already sweating profusely? Didn't you see that little girl standing with her legs shaking? Don't you see that there are already people yawning in those crowds?!

Yes, I'm a star. is a celebrity, but in the eyes of these children, he is estimated to be a very interesting stranger; In the eyes of these masses. You may just be a golden egg that will hatch gold.

Here, Chen Xiaotang was still thinking about it, and a man in a tunic who looked like a leader stepped forward and held his hand tightly. "Welcome. Comrade Chen Xiaotang, your arrival has made our city flourish! ”

"You're polite, I haven't asked ...... yet"

"Hehe, look at me, I happily forgot to introduce myself, I am Liu Jun, the mayor of Xianyang City, this is Director Sun of the Cultural Bureau, and this is Director Wang of the Investment Office......" Then Master Liu introduced the people around him to Chen Xiaotang one by one. Chen Xiaotang shook hands with them one by one. Constantly saying "hello", "nice to see you", etc...... Such a scene can't help but remind Chen Xiaotang of the scenes when many national figures on TV visit abroad. is also so grand, and the greetings are continuous.

The group of Fa Ge who followed Chen Xiaotang's ass also felt that it was too grand, and it was a headache.

Finally, after the greetings, look at the time, more than half an hour has passed, you can't keep basking in the sun like this, this is the weather in August, the sun is hot.

So Chen Xiaotang took the initiative to propose that it would be better to get in the car and talk again.

Then Mayor Liu hurriedly agreed, what he wanted, the big guys got in the car together.

What kind of luxury car is there, it's just an old Hongqi, and it's on temporary secondment.

In this regard, Chen Xiaotang is not too demanding, as long as he does not break down halfway.

I can't say, this car is really solid enough, there are many bumpy roads along the way, and it is like walking on a flat river. Chen Xiaotang was surprised, as if this kind of car was not very popular with the people in his previous life, and he knew that he was forced to stop production by foreign cars.

Along the way, Chen Xiaotang also saw the so-called northwest scenery, at this time the mainland reform and opening up, the investment industry has just emerged, so the industrial pollution is also very small, the sky is blue, the water is green, and the road is verdant and cool.

In the car, Mayor Liu, who was accompanying Chen Xiaotang, vigorously said that he would pursue investment and develop the economy, saying that no matter how good the prospects of the city are, he would strictly abide by the two basic points of the chief's center, and finally mentioned how to industrialize the city and let the people embark on the road to prosperity as soon as possible.

Mayor Liu said it up, and Chen Xiaotang interjected, "Isn't it good now?" ”

"Ah, what did you say?" Mayor Liu was stunned.

Chen Xiaotang smiled, pointed outside and said: "You see the picturesque scenery outside, if you vigorously develop industry and build factories, then it will definitely cause great environmental pollution to the air and water. ”

For Chen Xiaotang's argument, Mayor Liu was stunned for a moment and said: "Now there are many people who can't even eat their stomachs, where can they care about the future, at present, the most important work is to develop the economy and build a well-off society!" ”

Chen Xiaotang smiled again, "You can ignore it now, but what about the children in the future?" This is about the future of future generations, and I think it has to be taken seriously! ”

Mayor Liu was a little difficult to answer, "That being said, where is the best of both worlds at the moment!" ”

Chen Xiaotang kept his mouth shut, this is the most common phenomenon in the mainland's economic development, that is, by selling the environment, or resources, in exchange for rapid development, the most famous is to sell limited rare earth resources to Japan in the future, in exchange for foreign exchange, this is simply a kind of suicide.

"Actually, it's not like there's no way to ......," Chen Xiaotang said suddenly.

"Oh, I don't know if you have any good suggestions, Comrade Chen?"

"It's very simple, develop Xianyang into a large-scale tourist city! Planting green forests, developing the construction of ancient cities, relocating large-scale industries to remote places as much as possible, and paying attention to the exhaust gas discharge in production......"

Mayor Liu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Good idea." What a great idea! Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years! Who's going to invest, though?! You must know that the development of tourism, as well as the construction of ancient cities. You all need money! ”

Chen Xiaotang laughed: "You are asking the right person this time, I happen to be interested in investing, why not join us?" ”

"What you're saying is true?! Hahaha, that's great! That's great! I had hoped to attract investment,......" Mayor Liu was very happy.

Chen Xiaotang is also happy, he has already built the ancient city of the Warring States Period, and if he builds other ancient cities in the future, he will connect them together. It will definitely be able to form a large-scale film and television base, and maybe, it will become China's Hollywood in the future!

The Hongqi car stopped at the Longyue Hotel. This is the first five-star hotel in Xianyang, and it has only been built for one year. Chen Xiaotang got out of the car and said to Mayor Liu: "I know that the city's finances are tight, but in fact, there is no need to prepare such a good place for me to stay." ”

Mayor Liu suddenly smiled: "This is not what we prepared for you. It's something you prepare for yourself. ”

"Ahh Chen Xiaotang was stunned, "When did I book a room?" ”

"It's not that you booked a room, it's because you built the hotel itself, and to put it bluntly, it's yours!"

"Huh?!" Chen Xiaotang was stunned.

It took him a long time before he understood. It turned out that this hotel had been invested and built by Magic Shadow Entertainment before he sent someone to build the Warring States Film and Television Base, but he was busy. I don't even remember having such a big hotel.

I can't help but laugh, it seems that one person has too much property. It's also a headache.

After staying in the hotel, Chen Xiaotang began to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the start of filming.

Just as he, Fa Ge and the others were studying the character structure, suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the hotel room, and an overheated voice said: "Thank God Almighty, dear Rafi Chen, you are finally here!" ”

It looks like it's the great director Spielberg.

Spielberg stayed in Xianyang for a while, first looked at the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang with great interest, then ate mutton steamed buns, went to a bathhouse with local characteristics to take a hot bath, and enjoyed back rubbing, pedicure, cupping, scraping and other stunts, and then waited for Chen Xiaotang's arrival with satisfaction.

But Chen Xiaotang was busy in Japan at that time, how could he have the kung fu to fly here.

The original interest in unfamiliar places cooled down, and the terracotta warriors and horses were tired of watching, and the mutton steamed buns were also bored, and they didn't even go to the bathhouse. I was just anxiously waiting for when the filming of the new drama would start.

The left can't wait, the right can't wait, and Spielberg is about to grow gray hair, Chen Xiaotang is late.

"Dear Chen, you are the actor I have been waiting for the longest, and now that you are finally here, let's talk about how to start filming this "Qin Shi Huang" immediately!"

Chen Xiaotang knew that this Spielberg was a famous workaholic, but he didn't expect to be so impatient, and said with a smile: "Let me rest first, dear Mr. Spear, we have been talking about it for a long time just now." ”

"No, I'm not involved yet! Come on, dear friends, let's study all night! ”

……

Spielberg is a beast! Because only birds and beasts can stay up like this, stay up all night, keep their mouths on the ground, and talk about the script content, story outline, character design, and shooting structure of "Qin Shi Huang" more than one another.

Fa Ge Hua Tsai and the others dozed off continuously.

I drank coffee and my stomach hurt, but I still couldn't stop sleepy. Among them, only Chen Xiaotang, a freak, was still in good spirits, and in the end, when even Spielberg began to doze off, Chen Xiaotang was still in good spirits.

"Yawn, let's not talk about it, that's about it!" Spielberg stretched and looked out the window, "Oh, how long has it been dark?" ”

Fa Ge tried hard to open the panda's eyes, "Thirty-eight hours!" ”

Andy added, "It's the second day! ”

Chen Xiaotang: "Do you want to continue?" ”

Spielberg looked at Fa Ge and them, "What do you say?" ”

"Don't!" Some people screamed.

………

Taking advantage of the fact that it was just dark, Chen Xiaotang decided to go out for a walk. Take a break and treat your stomach on the other.

But when they pulled Fa Ge and the others, they couldn't live or die, saying that they would sleep in bed. Chen Xiaotang was amazed at their ability to stay up late, in the past, filming was okay without sleeping for three days and three nights.

The answer of Fa Ge and others was that the body was not delicate enough at that time. Now they are all big names, of course, we must pay attention to maintenance. Otherwise, who still idolizes you?!

Chen Xiaotang was speechless.

No way. Fa Ge and the others didn't want to move in bed, and even nibbled on a few breads and sandwiches on the bed for dinner, and Chen Xiaotang had to go out with Spielberg.

………

Three days later, Xianyang, mainland.

Longyue Hotel, in the press conference hall.

Who would have thought that today there would be a collection of media from all over the world, and they would come all the way here. Coming to this mysterious ancient civilization of the East, there is only one purpose, that is, to interview the opening ceremony of superstar Lafite Chen's new film.

Everybody knows. After Rafi Chen started his full ball tour, he moved here to prepare for the long-prepared super blockbuster "Qin Shi Huang".

Whether it's the investment, or the cast. This drama can be called the first blockbuster in history. Check it out. The investment alone is said to have reached nearly 20 million US dollars, and in terms of actors, of course, Raffi Chen is the starring role, while King Mike, Queen Madonna, and many Hollywood superstars in the United States feel like green leaves and come to this play as a friendly cameo. In addition, eight Oscar winners will appear as Roman Empire characters in the play, and many Asian stars will play tricks here......

Undoubtedly. This "Qin Shi Huang" will become a super blockbuster with the strength to gather the most stars, so how can it not make journalists from all over the world flock to it?!

Press conference hall. Next to the podium in front of the screen, a small platform was carefully erected, on which a row of seats was placed, and the press conference was held there, and the original time was half past six, but now the time is almost there, and it is already full of reporters from various media.

Chen Xiaotang walked up to them, shook hands with them one by one, and then sat down in the middle seat, Spielberg, and special effects director George Lucas and other main creative staff also sat down one by one, and the press conference officially began.

These reporters were very interested in the film, not only because it was the first Chinese-language film in Hollywood history, but also because of the film's well-known historical story, so their questions were partly about the film itself, and partly about gossip.

"Mr. Chen Xiaotang, this movie is about to start shooting, and your leaflet says that it costs 20 million US dollars, which is more than any previous movie in Magic Shadow Entertainment, have you really invested so much money?!"

"In fact, that 20 million is still a conservative number, if you count some miscellaneous expenses, it will be more, this movie is the one that has invested the most manpower and material resources in all our films, I hope to satisfy the audience."

"Mr. Chen Xiaotang, I heard that your film crew has built a huge Warring States Cinema here in order to shoot this drama, can you introduce us to this cinema?!"

"I can do this. This cinema covers an area of about 800 acres, including Qi, Qin, Han, Zhao, Wei and other Qi capitals. It can be said that this cinema is famous for its huge scale, complex shape and rigorous layout. There are majestic palaces of all kinds, five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first floor; The corridor waist is back, the eaves teeth are high pecked, each hugging the terrain, hooking the heart. The majestic city walls and the main hall of the royal palace complement each other. The main palace 'Four Seas Return to One Palace' stands majestically, towering and straight, vividly showing the majestic and magnificent momentum of Qin Shi Huang annexing the six countries and dominating the world. The hive water vortex does not know how many tens of millions of it falls. The long bridge lies on the waves, the road is empty, the high and low are confused, and I don't know the west and the east. There are also 'Han Street' that fully demonstrates the style of the streets in the Qin and Han dynasties, the Huangchen Ancient Road, the Jin Ge Iron Horse, the Yan and Zhao architecture, and the Qin and Han cultures, which can be truly reproduced in the Qin Palace......"

"Mr. Chen Xiaotang, after you held your first world solo tour this time, you immediately devoted yourself to this big production, what do you think about this?"

"I just can't wait. Hehe, I wrote the script of this play, and the story was also settled by me and many friends such as Mr. Spielberg after research, and now it is almost time to start, and my mood is like a father-to-be standing outside the delivery room waiting for the birth of a child, excited and happy! ”

"But I heard that you had some accidents while touring in Tokyo, Japan, and it is rumored that you have an ambiguous relationship with your female apprentice, Miss Noriko Sakai, is this true?"

"Hehe, I think this is some private secret about me, it's not that I don't answer, but I don't have to answer, please forgive me." Chen Xiaotang said with a smile. "Did Miss Noriko Sakai call you after coming here?!"

"Well, I still don't have anything to say."

……

The questions from these reporters were varied. The question of having land made Chen Xiaotang laugh at everything, but there was no one in the mix to deliberately make trouble, so he was able to answer patiently one by one later, and all the reporters were very satisfied.

In addition to Chen Xiaotang, Spielberg, George Lucas, Fa Ge, Andy and others also answered some questions about the film, and the reception lasted for half an hour, and after nervous questions, whether it was Chen Xiaotang or those reporters. I thought it was very good, and it was over at ten o'clock.

………

The much-anticipated Hollywood's No. 1 Chinese-language blockbuster "Qin Shi Huang" is finally about to start filming, and the location of the first shot is the Terracotta Warriors of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, known as the Seven Wonders of the World!

You must know that the excavation of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang was a world-class news at that time, and this excavation also completely aroused heated discussions around the world about Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China.

Some say he's good, some say he's bad.

There were people who admired him and worshipped him. Others accused him and insulted him.

Those who admired him said that he was a great hero who unified the six kingdoms; Insulting him makes you say that he is a tyrant of the generation who burned books and pit Confucianism.

In short, this is a very controversial topic of conversation, and one that all filmmakers dream of filming. (To be continued......)
