Chapter 188: Qin Shi Huang and His Beloved Concubine

"Night at the Museum" was already in Vancouver in January.

Originally, Fox set the filming location in Montreal, Canada, and I know that several major cities in Canada have film shooting policies that are tilted, and tax cuts are also refunded.

It's just that the actor Ben Stiller is more resistant to the city of Montreal, and it seems that something very unpleasant happened when he was filming here.

So the crew changed the filming location to Vancouver.

It is worth mentioning that although the crew did the filming on the exterior of the New York Museum of Natural History, in fact, the natural history museum that appeared in the movie was completely rebuilt in the studio.

The crew's artists and designers recreated the interior of a world-class museum in a Vancouver soundstage.

Most of the film's production budget was spent on building the museum.

In the middle of the night, Wu Yuan took Liu Yifei and flew to Vancouver, a well-known city in North America.

"Senior brother, do we really want to make a cameo appearance in this movie?" After getting off the plane, Liu Yifei was still a little relieved, her face was full of curiosity and expectation.

Although it's just a cameo, there will definitely not be many scenes, but this is a Hollywood movie.

How many actors can play Hollywood movies in China now?

There are only three of them.

Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are counted as one each, and Gong Li and the international chapter are counted as half each.

Except for the four of them, no other actors in China can receive a film appointment from Hollywood.

Even if some Hollywood movies need Asian characters, they also use their own people, and it is impossible to find Chinese actors.

In this era of Hollywood blockbusters sweeping the world, being able to act in Hollywood's movies is a rare opportunity for actors from most countries around the world.

Otherwise, Liu Xiaoli would not have thought hard about how to let Liu Yifei break into Hollywood and become an international superstar.

"My own movie, my boss and you, the boss, still have to help out." Wu Yuan replied with a smile and a smile.

But Liu Yifei is not stupid, she was stupid for a while, shook her head and said: "Obviously, you are helping me, how can I help this movie?" ”

She is not famous in Hollywood, and her guest appearance in "Wonderful Night at the Museum" also depends on Wu Yuan's face, where can she talk about help.

Liu Yifei looked at Wu Yuan with tender eyes, his hands around his arms tightened, and he shouted happily: "Let's go!" ”

The crew of "Wonderful Night at the Museum" is located in the film and television base in Vancouver, where a large number of studios for film shooting are concentrated, which is almost similar to the Huairou film and television base in China.

Wu Yuan took Liu Yifei, and under the leadership of Daisy, soon came to the studio of "Wonderful Night at the Museum".

This studio occupies a lot of land!

In order to recreate the appearance of a world-class museum, about 10 designers were busy designing different layouts for the exhibition hall at the same time.

Each exhibition hall has gone through several regular steps in the construction of illustration, design, construction, etc.

In order to make it more realistic, the artists put a lot of effort into the details, and the statues, models and specimens on display are also made by them.

As long as the exhibition hall of the New York Museum of Natural History needs to appear in the film, it has basically been restored.

When he arrived at the studio, Wu Yuan met Sean Levy, the director of the film.

The director actually has nothing to talk about, he became famous in 2003 with two low-budget romantic comedies, and was spotted by Fox to direct "Night at the Museum"

He did a good job in the series "Wonderful Night at the Museum", and Wu Yuan had no intention of changing people, so he accepted Fox's choice with kindness.

The director has not changed, the producer has not changed, and the selection of natural actors has not changed in the slightest, and the actors of "Wonderful Night at the Museum" this time are exactly the same as Wu Yuan's memory.

"Wow, our big investor is here!"

As soon as Sean Levy saw Wu Yuan, he opened his arms enthusiastically, "Daniel, welcome to make a cameo, the whole crew is waiting to meet the great director." ”

Although Wu Yuan's current box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is quite scary at the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean", theoretically speaking, he is not a top director, and there are at least ten or twenty directors in Hollywood who have achieved this kind of results.

But who told him to win the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes, directors who walk on two legs in literature and commerce and have made good results are rare.

So although he has only released two or three works in Hollywood, he has become one of the recognized big directors, and there is only one Oscar for Best Director between him and the top.

The crew that was filming immediately stopped filming, and several leading actors all came up.

The leading actors, led by Ben Stiller, wore costumes of various presidents, cowboys, and ancient figures, and greeted Wu Yuan warmly.

He even saw a few Mongols and Eskimos, and the picture was quite interesting.

At least Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh when she saw the actors' appearances.

No way, when you see President Roosevelt in military uniform, hooking shoulders with Roman generals wearing red Roman helmets, this absurd scene, it's hard not to laugh.

"It's like it!" Liu Yifei couldn't help but exclaim.

"This beautiful girl must be Crystal, right?" Sean Levy smiled and reached out to shake Liu Yifei's hands.

He knew that Wu Yuan agreed to make a cameo on the condition that he would add the beautiful Chinese girl in front of him.

"Daniel, you and Crystal's costumes are ready, and we made them from a studio in Huaxia that makes antique costumes."

"You can go to the dressing room and try it out."

“OK。” Wu Yuan nodded, obediently followed the director's advice, and pulled Liu Yifei into the dressing room.

He is a very accurate person who has a correct position for his identity, he was the boss when he was the boss, he was the director when he was the director, and now he is an actor, so do what an actor should do and obediently listen to the director.

After a while, Wu Yuan changed into a black and red crown robe, wearing a crown, and in front of the crown hung twelve colorful beads made of colorful silk threads.

This set of costumes is the most authentic crown of the Son of Heaven in the Qin and Han dynasties.

Liu Yifei also changed into a Qin and Han Dynasty style of noble women's clothing, probably because the studio that customized this dress did not know the clothing system of the harem concubines in the Qin and Han dynasties, so it was simply made according to the popular women's clothing at that time, but the materials were luxurious and noble.

This outfit is mainly white, embellished with some red embroidery, which may also refer to the appearance of Princess Yushu in the "Myth" movie.

After Liu Yifei put on this set of clothes, she immediately had a sense of fairy spirit and ancient charm, or how to say that she was the chosen ancient, she was really beautiful in ancient costumes!

When the two people in ancient costumes were handsome and beautiful, they dragged a long coat out of the dressing room, which caused the on-site staff to exclaim.

"OMG, that's beautiful!"

"Do all the kings of China wear like this? Why are there so many beads hanging on the top of the head? ”

"Daniel should be an actor, I bet he's going to be hotter than Jackie Chan!"

"Chinese classical costumes actually look so good to wear?"

"No, it's these two who are good-looking in themselves, even if they only wear a rag on their bodies, it's like going to Fashion Week again."

The idle staff were chattering, and Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei were also looking at each other with satisfaction.

"Senior brother, you are so handsome in this body." Liu Yifei grinned, reached out and fiddled with the beads on the crown, "It's just that you don't have the domineering spirit of Qin Shi Huang." ”

No, although Wu Yuan is also a man of his word in the crew, if you want to say that he has any imperial spirit, or the kind of imperial spirit that dominates the six countries, it is purely thinking too much.

"I'm not to blame for that." Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "How many actors in China can play Qin Shihuang's domineering?" ”

Anyway, he has never seen an actor who can really play the bearing of Qin Shi Huang, and the best actor is a teenager who works on summer vacation.

But it doesn't matter, "Wonderful Night at the Museum" itself is not a serious drama, it takes the absurd and funny route, and the actors don't need to really fit the characters.

Wu Yuan, the first emperor of Qin, is just a puppet endowed with the ability to act by mysterious powers, and he is not the real Qin Shi Huang.

On the contrary, he sighed a little, the clothes prepared by the costume department of "Wonderful Night at the Museum" this time are really quite restored.

can only say that Haolaiwu is indeed watching the dishes.

Don't they know that when they need to make an appearance of a Chinese historical figure, it is best to ask some professional Chinese historians and Chinese costume studios to make costumes?

But in many movies with Chinese historical figures, they match the costumes of these characters at will, and even let the Chinese people wear Japanese clothes and Vietnamese costumes.

Isn't it that the status of those actors is not important?

Now it's Wu Yuan's turn to play a Chinese role, and the costume team of "Wonderful Night at the Museum" immediately went to Huaxia's professional costume studio to customize the costumes, and the degree of restoration was directly full.

said a thousand things and ten thousand, isn't it because Wu Yuan is the boss of the production company, and he is afraid that he will be dissatisfied with the preparation of the crew and fire them all.

If you change to Li Lianjie, the crew will not prepare costumes so carefully.

Suppressing these thoughts for the time being, Wu Yuan spread his hands and spun around in front of Sean Levy, "How about it, no problem, right?" ”

"Perfect!" Sean Levy gave a thumbs up, "Put on good makeup and we'll just start shooting." ”

"The scene between you and Crystal is very simple, mainly two scenes."

"One was when Jededia, a western cowboy, was at odds with the Roman legions, causing an infighting riot, you and your terracotta army were disturbed, and they attacked with a large army and took them both down."

"The other scene is at the end of the movie, with Ben and the Roman legions, uniting together to fight against the thieves."

"Questions?"

"No problem." Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei glanced at each other and nodded together.

The two of them had already read the script before they came, and they had memorized the few lines, so there would indeed not be too many scenes in the cameo.

"Okay, then let's put on makeup!" Sean Levy said with satisfaction.

The title uses an exaggerated technique, in fact, there are no "concubines" in the harem of the Qin State, only the lady, the eighth son and the like,
