After the Golden Rooster Award ceremony.

No matter how much debate there is on the Internet about the award of this Golden Rooster Award.

Wu Yuan didn't listen to anything outside the window, and all his thoughts were on the filming of "Painted Skin".

Just won the Golden Rooster Award, although it was a double yolk egg weekly, he honestly put the award behind him first and filmed seriously.

The whole crew is like a large-scale precision instrument, running in a precise and orderly manner.

As the most experienced director in China who has mastered large-scale crews, Wu Yuan is quite comfortable in the filming process of "Painted Skin".

Back then, when he was in his dream, he made six movies with an investment of more than 100 million yuan from 2015 to 2020, although they were all executive directors, he also followed the crew all over the country, commanding hundreds of crew members.

Compared with it, it is not difficult to get a crew of "Painted Skin".

Not to mention the backbone staff of the "Painted Skin" crew, they all followed Wu Yuan to "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" for further study.

When "Pirates of the Caribbean" was filmed, nearly 1,000 people were mobilized, and such a big scene was exercised, not to mention "Painted Skin", which has only more than 300 crew members?

From the Gobi Desert in Yinchuan to Hengdian to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the crew went from north to south, from the desert to the small bridges and flowing waters, not only appreciating the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, but also shooting countless beautiful pictures for the movie.

Fantasy and magic movies are very aesthetically pleasing.

Pirates of the Caribbean is about rough seas and Caribbean islands full of pristine beauty.

The Great Desert of Egypt in the "Mummy" series, the magnificent pyramids.

The Lord of the Rings only exists in the fantasy continent of Middle-earth.

Any fantasy and magic movie pays great attention to using the picture to bring a different look and feel to the audience.

Including Chen Kaige's "Wuji", he also attaches great importance to the aesthetics of the picture, presenting the audience with a fantasy world in his imagination.

Of course, Wu Yuan also attaches great importance to this.

Compared with Hong Kong Island directors who are accustomed to the small-family atmosphere, Wu Yuan is much more atmospheric in terms of framing, and tries to find some scenic spots that can reflect regional characteristics and are magnificent.

Of the 150 million shooting budget, except for 80 million for special effects, most of the rest of the money was spent on various field locations and transition shooting.

The money is well spent, because such a magnificent real shooting scene is the ultimate picture beauty that special effects can't do, and only real shooting can make the beauty of the motherland's great rivers and mountains be unreservedly displayed.

After becoming more and more familiar with directors such as Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou, and communicating more and more, Wu Yuan more or less learned some concepts in film art from these fifth-generation directors.

He also advocates more and more scenes that can be filmed as much as possible, to capture the beauty of nature, and the beauty of the combination of characters and nature.

Instead of encountering something, the first thing I think of is to use special effects to get it.

Now he is very different from when he woke up at the age of 16 and was affected by the special effects era in his dreams.

Wu Yuan feels that this is a good thing, and he also hopes that he can inherit the picture aesthetics of the fifth generation of directors, instead of being overwhelmed by the supremacy of special effects later.

In this way, Wu Yuan took the crew to run around the country, and the hard work was really hard, but the filming was really cool.

And when Wu Yuan was filming "Painted Skin", he also received a phone call that surprised him.

Roland Emmerich, the president of the jury of this year's Berlin Film Festival, personally called him and invited him to bring his new work to the Berlin Film Festival next year!

Wu Yuan has a new award-winning movie to be on, and since the end of the Golden Rooster Awards, it has ceased to be a secret, and has been reported by reporters from all walks of life.

Although this news did not cause much of a sensation in China, most fans mainly stared at "Painted Skin" and didn't care much about an award-winning literary film.

But this news was known to European filmmakers who paid close attention to Chinese-language films for the first time.

As for why European filmmakers pay so much attention to Chinese-language films, this is a long story.

Who called the fourth and fifth generation directors to brush up on fame and influence in Europe for decades.

At present, the three major European film festivals are also in need of Chinese films, and Chinese films enter the main competition unit of the three major film festivals every year.

Excellent Chinese film directors have always been the object of competition among the three major European film festivals.

Wu Yuan, a talented director who won the Berlin Best Director Award before the age of 20, is naturally the object of the three major competitions in Europe.

As soon as he heard that he had a new award-winning movie, Roland Emmerich immediately called Wu Yuan.

In the face of this warm invitation call, Wu Yuan could only play haha, did not agree or refuse, and used the procrastination trick.

No way, the movie "Love" really doesn't fit into the Berlin Film Festival.

This is a pure, telling a love story between two old people, mainly discussing marriage, illness, and love, without any political views.

Even if Wu Yuan is a descendant of Berlin, it is impossible for him to take such a movie to Berlin, and he really can't win the award.

Films like "Love" can only be taken to Venice and Cannes.

This year's Venice September has ended, and Wu Yuan's choice is only for the Cannes Film Festival next year.

It's not just him, Wang Xiaoshuai is filming "Qinghong", and he doesn't plan to take it to Berlin.

At next year's Berlin Film Festival, only one mainland film will participate, and that is Gu Changwei's "Peacock".

Well, it's the movie where Jiang Wenli slapped the junior on the set

Although she was beaten, she won the Silver Bear Award, and Zhang Jingchu was worth it.

Wu Yuan doesn't plan to go to Berlin to join in the excitement, so let's go to Cannes with his senior brother Wang Xiaoshuai.

Speaking of his senior brother Wang Xiaoshuai, Wu Yuan had to sigh at the magic of fate.

"Qinghong" has already started filming, and the actor in this movie is still Li Bin.

Even if Wu Yuan cut off "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", Li Bin still appeared.

I don't know where Wang Xiaoshuai found him from.

In fact, Wu Yuan didn't know that when Wang Xiaoshuai was preparing for "Qinghong", he really thought about asking Wu Yuan to play the leading role again.

After all, the heroine of this movie is still Gao Yuanyuan.

It's just that the current Wu Yuan is no longer Wu Xia Ameng, how could he invite Wu Yuan to play the leading role?

I'm embarrassed to even mention it.

This thought just circled in his mind, and Wang Xiaoshuai wisely chose to find a new actor.

So Li Bin, who was studying in the capital, was discovered by him.

Now "Green Red" is being filmed, and it is also aimed at next year's Cannes Film Festival!

Their Nortel brothers will be rivals on the same stage next year.

A few years ago, on January 3, 2005, "Painted Skin", which had been filmed for nearly four months, was finally completed in Hengdian Film and Television City.

After taking a photo with all the staff and actors of the crew, and having a finale banquet, the crew disbanded directly on the spot.

Naturally, the actors go to participate in other jobs and announcements.

The contracted staff belonging to the era of light and shadow will go back for the Spring Festival holiday, and then they will go to North America to join the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and continue their unfinished training.

Wu Yuan did not return to the capital as soon as possible, but took his assistant Xiao Zhang and went to Xiangshan Film and Television City next door to Hengdian.

Xiangshan Film and Television City, this place is not ordinary, it is completely invested and built by beards.

In May 2003, in order to shoot "The Condor Heroes", Zhang Jizhong built a "Condor City" here in advance, which is the first phase of the Xiangshan Film and Television City project.

This Condor City was built entirely in the style of the Song Dynasty and covers an area of 400,000 square meters.

The total investment in this phase of the project alone has reached 120 million yuan.

Although the bearded man's private life is always criticized, he is indeed the first person to produce domestic TV dramas with his excellence and generosity in the production of TV dramas.

In order to film "Dragon Babu", a film and television city was built in Yunnan Province, and in order to shoot "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Xiangshan Film and Television City was built.

Of course, these film and television cities are also doing long-term business after they are built, and they can receive dozens of crews to film every year, and Zhang Jizhong's business acumen is also very good.

This is also the reason why he stopped doing TV series later.

On the one hand, it is really old, and on the other hand, several film and television cities have developed, and every year the film and television city alone can earn a lot of money, so there is no need to spend time and take risks to make TV series.

However, now he is not yet at the time to sit on the ground and collect money, and he is still very ambitious in the TV drama production industry.

Wu Yuan took Xiao Zhang to Xiangshan Film and Television City to visit the crew of "The Condor Heroes".

When "The Condor Heroes" was filmed in Jiuzhaigou before, Liu Yifei had a filming accident and experienced the biggest danger since filming, and was almost washed away by the flood.

At that time, she was filming a scene crossing the waterfall, she was the first to rush into the waterfall, the water was cold, and her body was too thin.

Luckily, the place where she was standing was a steep slope, and there were rocks in the way when she fell.

Huang Xiaoming and the assistant director also reacted quickly, and rushed up to grab Liu Yifei as soon as she fell, which saved the day.

After the incident, the crew suspended filming and called it a day to let Liu Yifei rest for two days.

During the two days of rest, Liu Yifei called and texted again, crying and crying with Wu Yuan, which made a listener cry and a listener sad.

On the phone, Liu Yifei was very aggrieved, crying and chirping, wanting Wu Yuan to visit her.

This is Liu Yifei when he played Xiaolongnu, and there was another shooting accident, weak, aggrieved and helpless, can Wu Yuan refuse ruthlessly?

Wu Yuan had no choice but to promise her that when the crew of "The Condor Heroes" transferred to Xiangshan, they would visit her.

Wu Yuan, who has always done what he says, came to Xiangshan as soon as "Painted Skin" was completed.

Xiangshan Film and Television City, in fact, is a city imitating the Song Dynasty, Liu Yifei is mainly filming some scenes of Xiaolongnu looking for Yang Guo in the folk city after the tomb of the living dead.

Without prior notice, Wu Yuan took Xiao Zhang and walked to the vicinity of the set.

There is a special staff guard outside the set, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

But who is Wu Yuan?

With his face, there is no crew in China that can't get in.

Facing Wu Yuan, who was blocked by the staff, he just took off his sunglasses and mask, and he was stunned.

"Director Wu?!" The young dramatist, who still had fluff on his mouth, rubbed his eyes vigorously, for fear that he had made a mistake.

"It's me." Wu Yuan nodded with a smile: "I'm here to visit the class, so it's convenient for me to go in, right?" ”

"There is also a car in the back, which is the fruit I brought to the crew of "Condor", you can find a few people to move it together."

"Okay!" The drama was excited, and immediately straightened his waist and stepped down, and then stretched out his hand to greet him: "Director Wu, please inside." ”

"The crew is filming on the street on the left, you can just go over there."

"Okay, thank you." Wu Yuan nodded at him, and Xiao Zhang, who was following behind Wu Yuan, also skillfully took out a pack of cigarettes and gave it to the other party.

Xiao Zhang noticed that although this drama was young, the two fingers of his right hand were smoky and yellow, and he looked like an old smoker.

In the voice of thanks from the drama manager, Wu Yuan took Xiao Zhang into the Condor City.

The 400,000-square-meter antique city is not small at all, and now the city is full of group performances in costumes.

It took Wu Yuan and Xiao Zhang some time to find the crew who were filming on an antique street in the city.

A street where two carriages could run side by side, and the street was filled with all kinds of small stalls, all kinds of snacks and snacks, still steaming.

The group performers who play the role of hawkers are enthusiastically selling along the street.

In a group of passer-by performances dressed in simple and simple clothes, Liu Yifei, who was fluttering in white, was very conspicuous.

She wandered aimlessly in the middle of the street, looking left and right, and walked to a stall selling steamed buns, looking at the steamed buns that were pinched into buns of rabbits, tigers, and dogs, with a curious look on her face.

Let's not mention whether there will be such a shape of dessert buns in the Song Dynasty, and even if there are, will they be sold in the hands of street vendors.

Liu Yifei's simple and curious look, combined with the cute and good-looking snacks, the picture looks really pleasing to the eye.

She picked up a bun in the shape of a small rabbit, and after a few brief words with the vendor, she smiled brightly and walked away with the bun.

"Huh, girl! You haven't paid yet! The vendor shouted.

"Good, click!" Director Yu Min's voice came from behind a distant monitor.

The group performers who were still walking back and forth on the streets before immediately stopped and simply sat down on the spot.

Seeing this, Wu Yuan also stepped forward, "Sissi, you acted well." ”

Hearing a familiar voice, Liu Yifei, who was about to go to the monitor to see how well she was shooting, stopped, looked back, and saw Wu Yuan standing on the periphery of the set, looking at her with a smile.

A bright smile appeared on her face in an instant, and she pulled the hem of her clothes and ran towards Wu Yuan.

Liu Yifei's reaction attracted the attention of all the staff on the set, and Zhang Jizhong, who was checking the shooting materials with Yu Min, also looked over curiously.

"It's."

"Director Wu?"

"Director Wu is here?!"

In an instant, the set exploded.

Yu Min stood up from the director's chair in a hurry, took three steps and two steps, and greeted Zhang Jizhong together.

However, it was Liu Yifei who was faster than them.

Liu Yifei, who trotted in front of Wu Yuan in three or two steps, made a very bold move.

With one hand, she pounced on Wu Yuan's body, hugged his waist, raised her head and pouted, tears rolled in her eyes, and shouted very aggrievedly: "Senior brother~"

Seeing this, Yu Min and Zhang Jizhong's steps immediately stopped, and the two glanced at each other in a daze, and they both saw strong doubts in each other's eyes.

These two people, something is wrong?!

I've received criticism from everyone about the Olympics.

In the process of review and reflection, newcomers always have to grow in setbacks.

If you don't have the ability to dig holes and pave the way, don't engage in this kind of plot, it's really my problem.

Will pay attention next time.
