"Sugar Mountain Earthquake" has achieved unprecedented success, looking at the box office trend, it is very likely to break 600 million, Feng Xiaogang has proved his strength as a top commercial film director.

In the mainland, his box office appeal should be not inferior to Lao Mouzi at this time, and it is higher than the top actors in the Chinese film and television industry.

Not to mention Zhao Yanzi, Zhou Xun, even Liu Dehua and Li Lianjie, at this time, the box office appeal in the mainland is not as good as that of several big directors.

The results of "Sugar Mountain Earthquake" are naturally very popular.

waited until mid-July for Brother Cheng Long's "Air Rescue" to be released worldwide, which slightly took away some of the attention of "Sugar Mountain Earthquake".

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Air Rescue" may be very good at the overseas box office, but it will have a box office of at most 200 million in the mainland, which is not comparable to "Sugar Mountain Earthquake".

The reporters and paparazzi in the film and television industry are staring at "Sugar Mountain Earthquake", and "1937" is much less popular.

However, "Sugar Mountain Earthquake" has been produced after all, and it can be regarded as a thing of the past.

The actors in the circle are still more worried about "1937".

Many actors contacted Lee Shengyao and wanted to make a cameo in it.

Even Cheng Long promoted "Air Rescue" in the beautiful country, and said that he would come back to play a cameo role.

Wu Whale and Hong Jinbao are working on "The Fall of Bangkok" and want to make cameos together.

At ten o'clock in the morning on this day, Ningbo Xiangshan Film and Television City.

Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang came to the rehearsal set of "1937" together, Li Shengyao greeted him warmly, chatted for half an hour, Li Shengyao went to work, while Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang stood next to them and wandered around, familiar with the environment.

Both of them have been confirmed to join the group and signed a contract, Zhang Guoli plays the officer, and Wang Gang plays a doctor.

They don't have many roles, so naturally they can't be like Brother Xiao Ming and Zhang Yi, who need to stay in the crew for about seven or eight months.

They just come here to familiarize themselves with the environment and rehearse the plot they need to play.

Both of them prepared for five days, and after the rehearsals, they had to go to other work, and wait until November and December to come back for the official shooting.

The other cameo actors basically did the same routine, prompting some time to rehearse and familiarize themselves with the working environment.

For some it is five days, for others it is a week.

Then I have to go to other work, and when the movie is officially filmed, I will come over to film.

At this time, Zhang Guoli was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, with a pair of cargo pants, and sandals, looking very refreshing and young, not like an uncle in his fifties.

Wang Gang was more formal, with short sleeves and slacks, and a pair of sneakers.

"Let's see how they rehearse first?"

There are a lot of reports about "1937" from the outside world, and the big guys basically know that this movie has to be shot to the end, and the actors have to rehearse for a long time, and they can't say that they stop for three seconds, and they must perform at least three minutes of play smoothly.

In this case, the actors, scenes, equipment, and movement must cooperate seamlessly, so that there will be no lag.

The scheduling requirements for the director are very high.

Zhang Guoli once had a dream to become a film director like a small steel cannon.

It's a pity that he directed a TV series with good results, but the first movie "The 601st Call" he directed hit the streets, only a few million box office, and after sharing, his personal director's salary was not enough.

Since then, no film and television company has been willing to invest in him.

Zhang Guoli is very helpless, but he still has a dream in his heart, he wants to prove himself, and he wants to remake a big movie.

It's like Wang Gang came here to make a name for himself in such a special movie.

And Zhang Guoli also has an attitude of learning, he wants to steal from Li Dadao, hoping that he can grow further.

At this time, the two of them stood on the side, watching Brother Xiao Ming and Zhang Yi perform, from one scene to the next, it was really walking and acting at the same time, and they walked for almost 100 meters in five minutes.

In the scenes they wore through, there were also many group performances in the costumes of the country, and this group of people was also performing.

Everyone has different things to do, and everyone has different lines.

The scene lasted for five minutes, with no pauses, no laughter, and everyone was highly focused.

It's not even like filming, it's more like simulating a slice of life.

Zhang Guoli's eyes widened, and he looked at Brother Xiao Ming and Zhang Yi in surprise, "These two acting skills are good." ”

can act in a long-shot scene, naturally there are two brushes.

Zhang Guoli knows Brother Xiao Ming well, and the two often meet in Huayi, he knows that although this junior is sometimes greasy, his acting skills are good.

But I wasn't very familiar with Zhang Yi, but I didn't expect this young man who was not good-looking to be so powerful.

Wang Gang nodded, "Not only are the two leading actors very good, but the group actors are very good, and I don't see any obvious mistakes." ”

There were almost 100 people in the group performance of this scene just now.

Zhang Guoli has been a director, so he naturally knows how difficult it is for so many people to perform at the same time without making mistakes.

"This group of actors cherishes this opportunity to perform, and their attitude is very good."

At this time, the rehearsal of this scene ended, the actors quickly dispersed, the two leading actors went to touch up their makeup, and the group actors also had to touch up their makeup.

Some people have to drink water or get props after finishing their makeup.

Wang Gang squinted, but Zhang Guoli opened his mouth wide and looked shocked.

"What's wrong?"

"It's so quiet."

The group performance plus the on-site workers, there were almost more than 200 people on the scene, so many people gathered together, and the whole set was very quiet.

Whether it is a group performance or a field worker, they all know exactly what they have to do, even if it is during breaks, this crew is also in order.

"It's so good, these actors and field workers are all well-behaved, Director Li has found a group of very good people, no......"

Wang Gang looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"These group performances are all good, but the main thing is that the on-set system formulated by Director Li is good, which is too rare."

Zhang Guoli thought of the film industrialization proposed by Li Shengyao, and couldn't help but admire.

When he directed a TV series before, once he encountered a scene with more than 100 people, the set was like a vegetable market.

He himself holds a horn, several assistant directors also hold the horn, the actors are talking, the field workers are talking, and being in the middle of it feels like there are hundreds of ducks quacking.

And on the set of "1937", it was as quiet as a senior high school class.

Soon after, the actors continued to rehearse, and as before, the scene was very well organized and orderly, and maybe some of the group performances were not very good, but there was no problem with this one.

At twelve o'clock, it was time for dinner.

The cast workers separated and went to different places to pick up lunch boxes.

It's still the same as before, it's orderly, and the whole crew is quiet.

It's so quiet to eat......

Zhang Guoli couldn't help but sigh, "The rehearsals are not chaotic, the rest is not chaotic, and even the meals are not chaotic, this crew is really good, such a crew will definitely be able to produce excellent works." ”

Wang Gang was hungry and smiled, "Let's go, let's see what everyone eats." ”

Like Brother Xiao Ming and Zhang Yi, as well as the assistant director, Li Shengyao, the food is still relatively good.

They eat the same boxed lunch, but there are more than a dozen dishes on the table for them to choose.

Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang naturally sat at this table.

After eating, there was still a break of about an hour, and everyone found a place to rest.

Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang are older and don't need to take a nap.

The two of them planned to go outside to have a look, and soon after, they left the film and television city and saw the fields on the edge of the film and television city.

The crew of "1937" rented a hundred acres of land, and various facilities had been built by this time.

There were ditches, trenches, waterholes, trails, rivers, ruins, meadows, and even a dozen large trees transplanted over.

Zhang Guoli nodded while watching, and his heart was shocked.

He has acted in many war scenes, just like last year's "The Great Cause of Building the Country" and this year's "The Great Cause of Party Building", there are many war scenes in them, but at most, they are stacking two rows of sandbags, maybe digging a few trenches, where will there be so many scenes in this area like the crew of "1937".

These are details that he hadn't encountered before.

I have to say that Director Li's movies are really demanding.

Wang Gang was also very surprised, he felt that the crew of "1937" had done a lot.

After a walk outside, the two of them took a short break, and when they went to work in the afternoon, they had a makeup artist to put on their makeup.

After all, there is little rehearsal time, so naturally it cannot be delayed.

When the two of them were putting on makeup, Li Shengyao pulled a chair, sat opposite the two people, and then gave them a play.

After the two of them finished putting on makeup, Lee Shengyao immediately took the two of them to the future filming set, and then gave them a seat.

is also a long-shot plot, Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, as well as Xiao Mingge, Zhang Yi, and some group roles, all of which have to appear here.

Li Shengyao took the position one by one, very calmly and skillfully, as if this scene had passed thousands of times in his heart.

He didn't even take the script.

Brother Xiao Ming and Zhang Yi are used to it, and they are not surprised by Li Dadao's ability.

And Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang were surprised when they saw Li Shengyao talking about a large part of the scene without reading the script.

Especially Zhang Guoli, he has always wanted to be a film director and wants to steal teachers, and at this time, he benchmarked Li Shengyao, and only then did he find that he would talk like that just now, with his current brain power, if he doesn't read the script, it is estimated that it will take one or two months to memorize it.

And Li Dadao is so calm, it's really too cowsweet.

is worthy of Director Li.

At this time, the sun was very big, the sun was very sunny, and the temperature was very high, but Zhang Guoli felt cool.

Compared with Director Li, he is too much worse.

A drama like "1937" made him prepare for a lifetime, and it is estimated that he will not be able to shoot well.

"Alas, don't think about making movies in the future, act honestly, or make TV series."

He glanced at Wang Gang and thought of Zhang Tielin.

The scene of the three of them is simple, the camera is there, and the three of them sit down around a small round table and chat.

The one that Li Shengyao played was too high-end.

He can't play.
