840, The Wandering Earth
"The Wandering Earth" was filmed two at one time, and the total investment was as high as 250 million US dollars, but the actual investment was only 1.2 billion yuan, of which 200 million was the publicity and distribution costs.
In other words, Yang Hao can only use 1 billion yuan in production funds.
There is little money, and things have to be done beautifully.
In desperation, Yang Hao can only use his influence to play some sassy operations, for example, big actors don't have to stay in the crew often, come over with your notice, and finish filming after filming, how many days you work in the crew, I will pay you how much money you pay for the movie.
Domestic celebrity actor Zhang Guoli is the first victim of Yang Hao's commotion.
June 1, 2012, 4 a.m.
Hengdian Film and Television City is still in a quiet atmosphere, and Zhang Guoli, who came out of the Hengdian International Conference Center Hotel, got into the service car provided by the crew of "The Wandering Earth".
In the car, there was a beautiful girl.
The girl wore blue jeans, a red short-sleeved T-shirt, and cardamom-painted toenails peeking out from inside the crystal-colored high-heeled sandals to look playful and cute.
The reason for getting up early was that I was still a little confused, but when I saw such a beautiful beauty in front of me, Mr. Zhang Guoli was immediately not sleepy.
"Director Wang, I'm about to join the group to make up, you have to tell me, what role do I play in "The Wandering Earth", right?"
"Of course!"
As Yang Hao's royal executive assistant director, Wang Tingting at this time seemed shrewd and capable, and as soon as she touched it, she took out two pages from the bag she carried with her and handed them to Zhang Guoli, who was sitting beside her.
"Mr. Kunikasa, the role you want to play in the movie is Han Ziang, Han Duoduo's grandfather, Liu Qi's grandfather, and Liu Peiqiang's father-in-law."
"Liu Peiqiang's father-in-law..."
Hearing this fixed title, Zhang Guoli was slightly stunned, and then said in surprise: "What? Yang Hao actually asked me to play the father-in-law of Yunlong, this is not good, this is not good, if according to the actual age, Brother Yunlong is one year older than me. β
"Ahem..."
Seeing Zhang Guoli's direct refusal, Wang Tingting coughed twice, cleared her throat, and said with a slight smile:
"Mr. Kunikasa, let you play Liu Peiqiang's father-in-law, not Liu Peiqiang's father.
Well, let's put it this way.
When Mr. Yang Zhenning, the consultant of our film, married his lover Weng Fan in 2004, Mr. Yang was 82 years old, his lover's age was 28 years old, and his father-in-law's age was 56 years old.
So, there is no problem for you to play the father-in-law of Brother Yunlong, and of course, we will also give your makeup a proper painting in the movie. β
Although he said so, Zhang Guoli still wanted to refuse, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Wang Tingting take out a voice recorder from her pocket, and then played the recording.
"Mr. Kunikasa, I, Yang Hao.
I know that you may refuse the role of Han Ziang, so I will record it for you in advance.
Because our extravehicular spacesuit is very heavy, even after the improvement of the prop master, it still weighs 40 kilograms, I believe you have also seen it, when filming in the studio, there are thin wire ropes on the top of the studio to assist the actors to walk.
Do you think in this case, I might go to an actor in his 70s to take on such a heavy workload? β
Two minutes, the recording is finished.
Zhang Guoli straightened his back and said, "Director Wang, bring the plot paper." β
"Okay!" Wang Tingting agreed, and handed the two pages of plot paper that had not arrived just now to Zhang Guoli's hand again.
β¦β¦
Wake up pretty early.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, Yang Hao ran more than a dozen laps by the lake in the courtyard of the hotel, and then directly got on the business bus to Studio 1, and as for breakfast, it was eaten on the road.
4 buns of cabbage meat, a tea egg and a cup of soy milk.
The assistant that Guan Jingjing helped find is not yet in place, and now Nini, Gao Yuanyuan or Liu Yifei are following to help.
A few days ago, Liu Yifei took a turn in Hengdian Film and Television City, and after getting familiar with the crew of "The Wandering Earth", she flew directly to Grasse, England, on July 13, "Fast and Furious 6" directed by Lin Yibin will start filming there.
Liu Yifei, as the main actor of "Fast and Furious 6", naturally had to go over in advance to adapt to the filming scene.
"Brother..."
"Huh?"
"This morning, when I went down for a run, my mobile phone was blown up by Brother Yunlong, and he shouted on the phone, I can't afford to lose this person, you actually let Mr. Zhang Guoli, who is one year younger than him, play his father-in-law."
"Haha, and then what?"
Yang Hao smiled happily.
At the beginning, although my buddy had already determined most of the roles in the movie, he just didn't announce it to the public, because he was afraid that this would make some old actors jump to their feet.
"And then..., and then I'll tell Brother Yunlong, if in reality, your father-in-law is really a year younger than you, do you have to be happy to see your teeth and eyes all day long?"
"Well, smart."
As soon as Nini's words were finished, Yang Hao put down the soy milk cup in his hand and gave her a thumbs up.
"Hehe, brother, I'm smart, smart, you can come to me to incense."
Nini is such a woman, straightforward and unscrupulous, even if she guards the face of Gao Yuanyuan in the business car, she also likes to talk to Yang Haoqing.
"Ahem..."
Seeing this, Yang Hao coughed twice, signaled Nini, who took the initiative to bring her cheeks over, to calm down, and then picked up the soy milk cup placed next to the seat again.
"Dear, you two dear, don't take care of me, just let me not exist." Gao Yuanyuan first rolled her two good-looking eyes, and then stretched out her right hand to cover her eyes, but her fingers were bigger than her eyes.
"Haha..."
Seeing this scene, Nini can laugh.
While laughing, the business car came to the door of the No. 2 studio of Hengdian Film and Television City.
Yang Hao pushed the door, got out of the car, and took the initiative to greet the executive assistant director Wang Tingting, who smiled lightly at Gao Yuanyuan and Nini who followed behind Yang Hao, and hurriedly reported:
"Director, several leading actors have been stationed at the shooting site, and the photography, lighting, props, and radio departments have also been prepared, can we start filming now?"
"That's it."
After speaking, Yang Hao hurriedly stopped Wang Tingting again.
"Director Wang, I have already discussed with Lao Zhang yesterday, because the two movies "The Wandering Earth" require more sports shots, I will basically work two shifts with Lao Zhang, so the time I sit behind the director's monitor is relatively short."
At this point, Yang Hao stopped and looked at Wang Tingting.
And Wang Tingting immediately made an OK gesture at him.
"Director, don't worry, I'll take care of the work behind the director's monitor."
"Okay!"
Seeing her agree, Yang Hao smiled and walked directly to the camera crew.
At this time, the sound of Zhang Mo's playing board sounded at the shooting scene.
βActionοΌβ
Liu Peiqiang, played by Yu Long, after lulling his son Liu Qi to sleep, walked to the beach outside, sat next to Han Ziang played by Zhang Guoli, and said respectfully: "After I leave, you are Liu Qi's only guardian." β
"That's it!"
Zhang Guoli stared at the turbulent ocean and stopped: "Don't say it!" β
Yun Long lowered his head, took out two identity cards from his pocket, stuffed them into Zhang Guoli's hand, and said solemnly: "This is the only way for you and Liu Qi to enter the dungeon without drawing lots." β
