A small country in the Middle East, "Operation Red Sea" has been filming for some time at this time.

In fact, the filming of the entire movie here accounts for about half of it.

And it is indeed a more important part of the whole movie, so Xu Ji chose to put it at the very beginning of the shooting.

The latter part requires the cooperation of the military, as well as some aspects of their own special effects or their own scenery, so they can be filmed again after returning to China.

I have to say that Xu Ji had already thought in advance that the filming process would be very difficult, but the actors' adaptability was stronger than imagined.

It is estimated that the main reason is because Ji Yiyang, Chen Kang and a group of leading actors have entered the army for training in advance.

And Hu Lan still attaches great importance to the production of the movie "Operation Red Sea".

Including training actors, it was not a formality, but a real stay in the army for more than a month.

Every day, all kinds of training programs are full.

And even far more than some of the recruits.

Listening to Hu Lan, I was prepared that these actors would not be able to persevere.

Unexpectedly, all the leading actors persevered to the end.

made Hu Lan couldn't help but praise Xu Ji for the good choice of actors.

In this case, the current shooting is nothing to the actors.

Even Ji Yiyang said that after coming out of the army, now entering the set is more like a vacation.

......

Of course, although the actors are adapting quickly now.

But in order to keep some other staff members in the crew from getting too tired, the overall filming progress is still kept in a relatively reasonable range.

"Card, this is over, I'll be here in the morning, and I'll give everyone a half-day off in the afternoon."

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Ji let the whole crew rest.

This made the rest of the crew feel a little strange.

After all, in the past, the crew would not have rested so early.

"Why did Director Xu let him rest so early today?"

Ji Yiyang asked.

Chen Kang, who was beside him, shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

In fact, for the two of them, although the shooting was tiring, they were generally happy.

Sometimes the state comes and you don't even want to rest.

Especially Ji Yiyang, this is his first time participating in a movie.

There are still some slight differences from the previous TV series.

The requirements for performance are also higher.

Although filming has only been started for a long time, he feels that his acting skills have improved a lot compared to before.

Especially many times, he needs to play against an official veteran actor like Chen Kang, and the other party doesn't mind guiding him, Ji Yiyang cherishes such an opportunity very much.

Of course, in fact, it is also because after all, the director is Xu Ji, and Ji Yiyang has adapted to the rhythm of filming with Xu Ji very early.

If there were a few traces, he would be more relaxed.

has cooperated a lot, and I am quite familiar with Xu Ji's directing style.

It is also clear that Xu Ji is indeed one of the few directors who can give him useful acting advice.

"I don't know, I guess I have to shoot a night scene at night?"

"So it's better to get some sleep first, so as not to lose energy when you get there."

Chen Kang said analytically.

Ji Yiyang also felt justified and nodded.

......

At the same time, while giving the crew a holiday, Xu Ji also left the set directly and drove the car rented by the crew to the airport.

That's right, the reason why the crew was given a holiday was actually because he knew that Sha Yetong was on today's plane.

Although this country is relatively safe, it is a small country in the Middle East after all, and it still attaches great importance to security issues.

He reminded the crew many times, and even asked everyone not to leave the crew and run around if they were fine.

Sha Yetong is here, of course, Xu Ji still has to pay attention to the other party's whereabouts throughout the whole process.

......

At the same time, Sha Yetong, who had just landed on the plane, was full of excitement at this time.

After getting off the plane, I couldn't wait to call Xu Ji.

"Hey, little Xuzi, where do you think I am?"

Sha Yetong came to find Xu Ji this time, but he didn't tell Xu Ji in advance.

Going to surprise him.

But to Sha Yetong's surprise, he heard Xu Ji's voice coming from the phone.

"Dabel Airport, Exit B."

Sha Yetong subconsciously looked at the exit on his head, and sure enough, he found that this was his b.

"Look back."

Xu Ji's voice came from the phone again.

Sha Yetong subconsciously looked back, and sure enough, he saw Xu Ji standing not far away and looking at himself with a smile.

"How did you know I was coming?"

Sha Yetong didn't expect Xu Ji to be waiting for him at the airport for a long time.

It was indeed a surprise to see each other.

"Sister Man told me."

Hearing that it was You Man who leaked the news, Sha Yetong could only complain helplessly in his heart.

"I also said that I would surprise you, but I didn't expect you to know it a long time ago."

Sha Yetong said with some dejection.

"Actually, you're coming to surprise me."

"It makes no difference."

Xu Ji said with a smile.

In fact, You Man is mainly worried about Sha Yetong's safety.

After all, it's a foreign country, and it's a small country in the Middle East, so you really have to be careful.

Of course, Xu Ji also thinks so.

That's why I will give the crew a holiday directly, and I have to come to pick up the plane in person.

......

After Xu Ji returned to the crew with Sha Yetong, Ji Yiyang and others finally came to their senses.

It turned out that for this reason, Director Xu was on vacation in the afternoon.

I have to say that seeing Xu Ji and Sha Yetong, Ji Yiyang felt that he had been fed another wave of dog food.

Of course, Chen Kang, a married person, doesn't have much feeling.

even added fuel to the fire and asked, "Yiyang, you haven't found a girlfriend yet?" ”

Ji Yiyang said that he was helpless, his time was spent on acting, and it was indeed at this time that he realized that although he had many suitors from childhood to now, he had never been in love.

"Actually, you have decided to take the path of an actor, and you also have works, not those idol stars or anything."

"It's okay to get a girlfriend."

"And Director Xu shouldn't let you fall in love, right?"

Ji Yiyang naturally knew that Xu Ji would not be able to stop him from finding a girlfriend or something.

Tongji Entertainment also has no explicit regulations that it does not allow its artists to fall in love or anything.

But in fact, it is mainly because Ji Yiyang has never had such an idea, and most of the time is focused on his career as an actor.

At this time, he suddenly heard Chen Kang mention it, but he suddenly looked around in his mind.

I found that there was no suitable candidate.

That's the worst part.

......

Although Sha Yetong said that he lived in the crew, he often went to the set to watch Xu Ji filming.

But it is very principled and has no intention of affecting Xu Ji's normal filming.

On the contrary, he also took on the logistics work, and from time to time he paid for everyone in the crew to eat snacks and fruits.

Of course, everyone is used to it.

This is not the first time this has happened.

In the final analysis, Sha Yetong is also one of the bosses of Tongji Entertainment.

The filming of "Operation Red Sea" abroad is proceeding in an orderly manner, and at the same time, several other directors have just finished polishing the script for this tribute drama project.

Like Deng Shengxing and Zang Sheng, they are all very experienced directors.

And they also attach great importance to this tribute drama, although Xu Ji decided on the script in one day at that time, they will not mess up because of this.

I still keep my own pace to shoot.

But obviously, at this rate, it is estimated that their movie will be shown for a long time longer than Xu Ji's night.

In other words, Xu Ji is alone, and he has plenty of schedules to choose from.

The tribute film of the same period is also "Operation Red Sea".

As for the other four directors, although they said that the time given for this gift project was sufficient, it was obvious that there would be a conflict in the release time.

Originally, the next day we started to discuss the allocation of the release time, but until now, it has still not been decided.

Because everyone is reluctant to release their movies on a relatively poor schedule.

After all, the most difficult thing about this tribute film is that there are box office requirements.

The box office of one billion is indeed not a very exaggerated achievement for the current Chinese film market.

But it's not something you can get casually.

If the movie is released on a not very good schedule, it is likely that it will not be able to meet the official requirements at that time.

Although it won't be a big loss, at most it will be a loss of the opportunity to pay tribute to the film project in the future.

But if other directors have completed the box office goals set by then, only their own films have not been able to reach it.

That's still very embarrassing, everyone is at least a first-line director, and in such a situation, it is inevitable that there will be some uneasiness on the face.

......

At the same time, during the period when "Operation Red Sea" began to officially enter the filming stage, some new projects of Tongji Entertainment also began to enter the filming stage.

The fastest is actually Pon's "Detective".

Because it was directly determined that the main protagonist was Wan Rongli, the casting of some supporting roles in the follow-up did not take much effort.

followed by the two dramas "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Wulin Gaiden", which have also started official filming.

However, Yang Anran's "The Withering Heroes" encountered some difficulties.

Originally, he planned to let An Cailing play the role of Xiaolongnu, but in the end, it was a success, and An Cailing's performance was indeed very good.

But the actor of the male protagonist Yang Guo made him a little embarrassed.

Because I thought at the beginning that Ji Yiyang was no longer suitable to continue to play Yang Guo because he played Guo Jing, which would make the audience feel that he was playing.

If Ji Yiyang is not used, then the only suitable actor in the company now is Ran Bai.

It's just that Ran Bai has decided to continue to play the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

This was the direct equivalent of making him give up the idea.

After all, both dramas are big projects, and the filming time is not online for two months, so it is almost impossible to complete.

The schedule hits, and there is no way to solve it.

The only thing that can be determined is to find a new actor to play Yang Guo.

But for a while, looking at the entire entertainment industry, I really couldn't find any suitable actors.

After all, it is impossible to find an actor who is not outstanding in appearance to play the role of Yang Guo.

But those who are handsome and handsome, and their acting skills are also quite good, it seems that there are only two people, Ran Bai and Ji Yiyang.

Although they are all people from Tongji Entertainment, they can't even use it now, which makes Yang Anran very disappointed.

As for some artists from other companies, Yang Anran is still looking for suitable candidates.

The only thing that can be determined is that those little fresh meat who only have appearance and no acting skills will definitely not work.

After all, the popularity of "The Withered Heroes" is so high, and now the audience's expectations for the show are also full.

When the time comes, find a person whose acting skills are not up to par, and the actor and he, the director, will probably not be able to escape being scolded.

That's right, don't look at how miserable Xu Ji was scolded at that time, but after the release of the physical book, "The Withered Heroes" still gained a lot of fans.

Everyone's attitude towards Xu Ji has become more and more obvious.

Many people directly said that Xu Ji is just a writer, and he knows a fart.

Of course, you still have to scold what you should scold.

Anyway, now on the Internet, the voice of crusading against Xu Ji can still be seen everywhere.

But on the other hand, if someone questions the shooting and withering written by Xu Ji, how the god withered is, a large number of people will start to scold those trolls.

Xu Ji should be scolded, but the work is a work, and the role is a role, two different things.

Almost everyone has this attitude.

Yang Anran also regretted it a little.

Originally, Director Xu should have given him the script first, and then let the drama be broadcast first.

Now that the withered god is famous first, on the contrary, he, as a director, is facing much greater pressure than when he filmed "The Legend of the Withered Heroes" before.

......

Here, Yang Anran is still struggling with the male protagonist of "The Withered Heroes".

On the other hand, Chi Jiang, the film and television department of Station G, also fell into his own bottleneck period.

During this time, Station G relied on a "Legend of the Shooting Heroes" and a "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City", which successfully made Station G the biggest winner so far this year.

During this period, even members once surpassed Tudou Video and became the third in the industry.

The succession of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is undoubtedly a success.

The finale was broadcast a few days ago, which brought the data to its peak.

It's even similar to the previous shooting.

The easter eggs buried in it about the second Longling Maze have been discussed by the whole network for nearly a week, and they have not completely disappeared.

But in the follow-up, Chi Jiang fell into confusion.

Because after the broadcast of these two dramas, Station G once again fell into the embarrassing situation of having no dramas to broadcast.

Since Chi Jiang chose to stand in line with Xu Ji, because of Phoenix Entertainment's targeting, there are basically not many drama parties who are willing to sell the copyright to Station G.

In other words, after the loss of Tongji Entertainment, the most likely next situation for Station G will be a large-scale decline in the number of renewal members.

Of course, in fact, things are not so bad that they are outrageous, after all, these two dramas can still make Chi Jiang raise his eyebrows for a long time.

And now the number of followers at station G has risen, in fact, the influence of the platform has gradually caught up.

It is indeed a better choice for many drama parties.

Chi Jiang has also recently contacted several new drama parties, and the scale of investment is not very small.

But I don't know why, without Tongji Entertainment's new drama, Chi Jiang feels that something is wrong.

The most important thing is that I didn't have the slightest sense of confidence that I didn't have to worry about the data and popularity of the broadcast after watching the new drama of Tongji Entertainment at that time.

In every drama of Tongji Entertainment, Chi Jiang feels that he will not lose money.

But in other dramas, Chi Jiang is not so sure.
