August 7, 2014. ,ybdu,

After "The Vampire Count" was released worldwide, after experiencing a 'low tide' in the first two days, the word-of-mouth became higher and higher, and the number of moviegoers skyrocketed.

The box office of "The Avengers" was severely affected all of a sudden, and the number of moviegoers dropped sharply, but fortunately, it managed to push the box office to $1.5 billion on August 6. The media quickly followed up and reported on it in a big way.

And at this time, Wang Shang's new movie "The Shawshank Redemption" also gained global attention through "The Avengers".

Chuandu Cangshan Prison ......

At this time, Cangshan Prison was no longer the scene of overgrown weeds and garbage accumulation. After more than two months of emergency repairs, the entire prison has been renewed. Although no new cement or lime was laid, all the dirty roads and discarded materials were cleared.

In addition, at this time, nearly 2,000 people came to the prison, bustling, crowded, banners and red flags dotted in the middle, and it seemed that the whole prison was extremely lively.

Today is the start day of Wang Shang's "The Shawshank Redemption", and many media reporters have already made plans to come here to prepare for interviews. In addition to journalists, the film's huge star team has also attracted a large number of fans. Reporters and fans, these add up to nearly 2,000 people.

When the launch day was announced, the huge and high-end star plastic surgery of "The Shawshank Redemption" caused widespread heated discussions in the society. For a movie that is not optimistic, it is really surprising that it can gather a huge lineup of 3 actors and 8 quasi-actors.

So turn it on today. It immediately attracted a huge number of fans.

The huge flow of people naturally attracted a lot of smart snack mobile stalls, and all kinds of shouting and selling came and went. is accustomed to the life of the city, but it is rare to listen to the nostalgic, simple, and earthy cries of the show, which makes many fans and reporters feel fresh.

Wang Shang finally thought about it, but still did not invite any guests.

But...... Just because you don't invite doesn't mean no one comes.

At this time, in Cangshan Prison, cars drove in from time to time, and many characters were quickly recognized by discerning reporters.

"Wow, Zhen is here, he is a leading figure in our country's film and television industry."

"Hey, isn't that the deputy director of national television? Why did he come too? ”

"Oh my God. What do I see? The deputy bureau of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television also came......"

"I just saw the provincial leaders coming."

"Who is the foreigner who got off this car? Haven't seen it? ”

"It feels like I'm a director of Paramount. Seen on Time Magazine. ”

"Seeing that Director Wang is talking and laughing with them, it seems that they are not strangers, right?"

"When I come here, I guess I have something to ask for, or ask for a good fate. It's good to help each other in the future. ”

With the arrival of a car. Bursts of exclamations rang out.

There were seventy or eighty guests. Most of them are big names in the film and television industry at home and abroad, and five of the six major foreign Hollywood studios have come, which can be described as unprecedented. No wonder a group of reporters screamed.

However, some old reporters saw this situation and secretly smug: "What are you talking about!" Haven't seen the world! What's all the fuss about? In their opinion, which of Wang Shang's movie launch conferences is not big?

After Wang Shang saw these uninvited guests, he naturally understood that these people came for a purpose. When people from foreign film companies come here, Wang Shang thinks it's normal, but those people who are not very familiar with China come over, so it's worth thinking about.

"Director Wang, congratulations."

"Haha, welcome Director Liang."

"Hello Zhen Lao, thank you for coming."

"My old thing came uninvited, and I ask Director Wang to bear with me."

Wang Shang does not change and socializes in a low-key manner, anyway, today is the start-up day, and the theme is entertainment.

At 13:00 p.m., the worship officially began. It took 40 minutes to sacrifice incense, worship God, cut the pig's head, and uncover the red cloth, a series of procedures.

After worshipping God, the movie began its regular kick-off press conference.

The crew is headed by Wang Shang, and the actors are headed by Chen Daoming, including Huang Qiusheng, Zeng Ziwei, Liang Chaowei and others, the lineup is really huge.

Wang Shang was the first to come out to deal with the reporter's questions.

"Mr. Liang, as the main character, will not be released from prison until the end of next month, and now that the movie is on the line, is there any special reason? Is it not for Mr. Liang to be the protagonist? "As soon as the reporter came up, he was provoking, lest the world be chaotic.

The undisciplined reporter Wang Shang has seen a lot, so Wang Shang didn't care, and said with a smile: "The protagonist of "Shawshank" will be Liang Jiahui, which is no problem at all." As for starting the film in advance, we have already determined that there is no protagonist role, so we will shoot this part first. ”

"Director Wang, what are your expectations for this movie? After all, there is "Avatar" first, and many people are looking forward to you being able to continue filming "Avatar 2". ”

"I don't have any plans for the movie "Avatar" yet, and "Shawshank", I chose it because I like it."

"So is Director Wang's selection of this movie related to the outside world's remarks that you will only make commercial blockbusters? Or rather, do you want to prove yourself with this film? ”

"Well, there is a little bit, but the main reason is that I felt it, so I chose it." Wang Shang pointed to his head and said, "I actually have a lot of good ideas, but I don't necessarily shoot them, and what I choose, I basically follow my feelings." filmed "A Bite of China", I relied on my feelings, and in this movie, I still walk according to my feelings. I think I should shoot it or I'll regret it......"

Wang Shang felt that at this moment, his forced grid rose straight up, zhuangbility!! Wowhaha!!

Ten minutes later, Wang Shang stepped back and gave up the focus to the other members of the crew's leading group.

Half an hour later, the big-name star actors took the stage collectively to accept interviews with the media, which attracted countless flashes of photos, and the enthusiasm of the reporters gradually increased.

Reporter: "Does Perry's character play a high role in the movie?" ”

Huang Qiusheng: "I play the prison warden, I like this role very much, and I will play him well with my heart." ”

"What is your role?"

"I play a little brother, although there are not many scenes, but I like it."

"Wei Zai, what is this movie specifically about?"

"Sorry, the script is confidential, but I can reveal it, I'm very confident in this movie!!"

"Confidence? You mean the box office? Or an award? ”

"Both."

At 15:00 in the afternoon, the launch conference officially ended, and then the film officially started. The fans and journalists were quickly quarantined outside the prison to prevent interruptions to the filming.

In the prison plot, there are not many plots where the main character does not exist, but it is enough to shoot for a month.

The filming work on the first day was naturally Jiang Ruide's three paroles at the age of 40, 50, and 60.

The first scene was the parole at the age of 60, which had already been filmed, and because of experience, this scene was quickly passed.

After the first scene was filmed, the second scene was the 40-year-old parole, which was Jiang Ruide's parole at the beginning of the movie.

"At the age of 40 this time, Jiang Ruide is full of expectations outside, so he attaches great importance to this parole, hoping that what he says can impress the parole officer, and he tries every means to organize language to please the parole officer, so he is nervous ......"

"Yes, to be nervous, and with that yearning, expectation......"

"I think we need to add a kind of restraint, a little bit of awe."

"There's no need to be in awe, who is Jiang Ruide? He's just a little boss in the prison, and he's in awe of the prison guards? It's okay to be restrained, and ...... a little cringe."

Chen Daoming and Wang Shang came together to study this scene.

"In this movie, I don't want to be fast, I just want to be good, so I want every actor to be able to play the best and play the best." This is what Wang Shang said at the internal mobilization meeting.

After this tone was set, the actors naturally cheered up and seriously figured out their roles. And Jiang Ruide's No. 2 role is naturally very important, so Chen Daoming is under a lot of pressure, but there is also a kind of excitement!!

And what about Liang Jiahui at this time? After Wang Shang completed the script, he gave him the entire set of scripts and asked him to figure out the character "attributes" of the protagonist 'Shawshank'. At the same time, he is trying to observe life in prison, from the meals, to the cells, to the daily life......

Because he became the protagonist of "The Shawshank Redemption", the prison guard's attitude towards him was also very friendly, so prison life was not hard...... (To be continued......)
