Chapter Eighty-Four: The Kick-off Ceremony

Zhuozhou Film and Television City was built in 1990 by CCTV in Zhuozhou Wharf Town, Beihe, divided into exterior scenic spots, inner scenic spots, traditional residential areas, is the largest number of reception film crews so far, with 2,200 acres of filming venues and two studios of 1,200 square meters each, has filmed thousands of film and television dramas such as "Tang Ming Emperor" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Zhuozhou Film and Television City is also one of the large-scale film and television shooting bases in China, and is as famous as Hengdian Film and Television City, Zhongshan Film and Television City, and Shanghai Film and Television Park.

The filming of "Red Cliff" this time, because it involves a lot of scenes of the Three Kingdoms court and city, so the crew mainly considers the filming base with the architectural style of the Three Kingdoms period in the film and television base.

In this regard, in fact, in addition to Zhuozhou Film and Television City, Jiaozuo Film and Television City, which is also one of the large-scale film and television bases, is mainly based on antique buildings with the background of the culture of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han dynasties, and the Three Kingdoms period, which also meets the shooting conditions.

In addition, in order to shoot "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", CCTV set up Cao Cao Dianjiangtai, Caoying Wharf, Wuying Wharf, and Zhou Yu Dianjiangtai in the Three Kingdoms City built in Wuxi Film and Television Base, which can also meet some of the filming conditions.

The reason why it is set in Zhuozhou Film and Television City is that it is a scenic spot of the Han Dynasty, which not only covers a huge area, but also has three streets of Wei, Shu and Wu, the Han Palace, the Tai**, the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tongquetai, the City Gate of Hancheng, the East Zhou Village of Hancheng, and the military tent are everything, and it is very suitable to shoot the scenes of the Three Kingdoms, especially the four city towers and the 200-meter-long Great Wall complex, which is undoubtedly very in line with a siege scene in Lin Yuquan's movie.

Of course, it is definitely impossible for the crew to complete the filming only in Zhuozhou Film and Television City, except for Zhuozhou Film and Television City, Lin Yuquan does not plan to transfer to Wuxi Film and Television Base to shoot scenes such as Caoying Wharf, Wuying Wharf, and Dianjiangtai.

He had traveled there before, and he knew the situation there very well, on the one hand, the scale of the scene was too small and far from his requirements, and on the other hand, there were too many tourists, and it was difficult to clear the scene, which was not conducive to filming.

Therefore, he simply hired a few experienced construction units, combined with historical pictures and the situation of the army that the cultivators had seen during their travels, and built scenes such as Cao's army camp and warships according to his own requirements, and from the end of January, there was no interruption in the construction arrangement.

Considering that many scenes are still being built, Lin Yuquan concentrated the crew's start-up and pre-scenes in Zhuozhou Film and Television City for filming, and then transferred after the filming is completed.

March 15th, this is a very ordinary day, but it is particularly unusual in the Hanwang Palace scenic area of the film and television city, Lin Yuquan's "Red Cliff" was chosen to be grandly launched today.

As early as half past eight in the morning, nearly 100 reporters from all over the country gathered outside the opening ceremony of "Red Cliff" in the Hanwang Palace Scenic Area, watching the crew begin to unload the props and arrange the opening ceremony and later filming scenes.

"It seems that the opening ceremony of "Red Cliff" this time is not small, I don't know how it compares with the scene of "Wuji" filmed in the Qinwanggong Scenic Area of Hengdian Film and Television City last year?" Taking advantage of the fact that the director and leading actor did not come, the reporters couldn't help but chat.

"Who knows? However, the scale of this kind of commercial blockbuster with an investment of two or three billion yuan is relatively large, and the scenes shot in the Qin Palace of "Hero" are no smaller than "Wuji". A veteran reporter with glasses smacked his lips.

"Director Lin is easy to talk this time, although he can't shoot the situation on the set after the filming of "Red Cliff" starts, he didn't say a word and allowed us to shoot the opening ceremony and interviews." A young journalist laughed.

"That's right, don't you know that when I interviewed "Wuji" last year, Director Chen temporarily canceled the start-up and changed it to closed shooting, and also hired black-clothed bodyguards to guard against it, which made us busy all day and didn't shoot anything." A middle-aged journalist complained.

"It would be nice if I could interview Director Lin, he hasn't been interviewed until now! Guess why Director Lin is reluctant to be interviewed? A reporter sighed.

"It should be that Director Lin doesn't like it! Speaking of TV and newspaper interviews, he hasn't even appeared on variety shows. Look, the crew's car is coming. As soon as a reporter spoke, his eyes lit up, and he picked up the camera and ran over with his hands and feet.

Other reporters were also not slow to respond, choosing a good position and posing for shooting where the vehicle was parked, and striving to capture the wonderful expressions of the stars as soon as they got out of the car.

A series of ten black cars and a large passenger car stopped at the designated parking position, Liang Chaowei, Liu Dehua, Chen Daoming, Zhen Zidan, Fan Binbin, Zhou Xun A glamorous star opened the car door and got off, and then walked towards the location of the opening ceremony with a calm face, not minding the flashing camera in front of him, showing a bright smile from time to time, smiling at the camera with a suitable shape for shooting, as if this place was a red carpet show for the film awards ceremony.

Lin Yuquan, Xiao Yang, and Liu Yifei walked at the back, looking at the situation in front of them with emotion, which was completely different from the last time they filmed "Huo Yuanjia".

"Brother Yuquan, Brother Xiao Yang, look, Sister Binbin's posture is so beautiful, so stylish." Liu Yifei whispered, there was a little envy in her voice, she had also participated in several business activities, but every time she was either criticized for her clothes or her posture.

"The posture is really beautiful, but it's more about the blessing of the dress on the body, I really don't know, it's just filming, why are you wearing so beautiful, I think it's completely stealing the show, it's also a woman, and others are not like this." Xiao Yang said dissatisfiedly, his temperament is like this, and he hates actresses' blind hype and show.

"Sister Binbin is not easy, you, don't be too prejudiced against her." Lin Yuquan looked at Fan Binbin, who was dressed brightly, and sighed with a complicated expression.

It is difficult for actresses to seek a position, although Fan Binbin has loved showing more than her own performance strength in recent years, but this is also based on her own situation.

is different from Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi and others, Fan Binbin, who only studied acting in the junior college class of Xie Jin Hengtong Star Art School, his performance strength is far less outstanding than them, if he didn't do this, there would be no Fan Binbin today, maybe only the immature, innocent and beautiful golden lock in "Huanzhu Gege" will always stay in people's memory.

Although Lin Yuquan didn't like it as much as Xiao Yang, he didn't feel disgusted either.

In fact, Fan Binbin, like many celebrities, is constantly seeking her own position in the highly competitive entertainment industry, and her methods may be slightly different, using all kinds of hype to win public discussion and her own sense of existence.

But in private, she is similar to ordinary girls, she gets along very well, perhaps the only difference is that she has a determination to continue to improve her acting career.

And in her, Lin Yuquan always inadvertently saw the shadow of Huang Shengyi, she was full of desire for her acting dream, so she resolutely abandoned herself, and I don't know if a year and a half has passed, will that innocent girl become like this?

"Brother Yuquan, are you not feeling well? Why is the face not very good-looking. Liu Yifei's soft words awakened Lin Yuquan's thoughts.

Looking at the delicate face close at hand, and the watery eyes, Lin Yuquan felt a trace of warmth in his heart: "It's okay, I just remembered something." ”

"Oh", Liu Yifei sighed, and then turned his head to look at Fan Binbin and the others who were posing in front of him with interest.

Lin Yuquan's eyes wandered between Liu Yifei and Fan Binbin, feeling the completely different temperaments of the two, and the figures of Jiang Yan, Wang Luodan, Xu Jinglei and others flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but clench his hands tightly, no matter what, he also had to protect a few people, let them only be themselves, and always maintain the innocence and happiness of the moment, he has this strength.

For "Red Cliff", the publicity of the start-up ceremony is actually dispensable, Lin Yuquan didn't do too much red tape, just a simple speech, burning incense and worshipping God, and media reporters asking questions, and finally ended the start-up ceremony with loud applause.

After the start-up ceremony, the media reporters were sent away, and the crew of "Red Cliff" immediately began to act and prepare for the filming of the first scene.
