Chapter 534: Finished
Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei have known each other since they entered college in 02, fell in love in 07, and got married in 12 years.
But Liu Yifei dragged Zhang Yuanjun to speak, Zhang Yuanjun said that he was unwilling, but he still accompanied his wife.
There is no theme, Tiannanhai, big elephants, ants, everything.
The two of them didn't feel monotonous, the two kept talking and talking, and at two o'clock, Liu Yifei finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep in her husband's arms.
Liu Yifei had to arrive on the set at 8 o'clock in the morning, and she slept until 8 o'clock before getting up.
Although Liu Yifei is a big name, no one will say anything if she is late, but for so many years, Liu Yifei has rarely been late on the set.
So much so that Liu Yifei was late today and was teased by her crew colleagues.
My husband is leaving, and you are late today, you really can't blame your colleagues for being ashamed of Liu Yifei.
"What's so shy about this," director Xue Xiaolu said with a smile, "Our Yifei and Yuanjun husband and wife are in love, and they are envious and jealous of you." ”
After being ashamed for a while, Liu Yifei went to prepare to start work.
After Zhang Yuanjun got up, he did not come to the set of "Miss Bai", but left straight for the airport.
Zhang Yuanjun returned to the crew of "Fast Pursuit" in New York, and he devoted himself to filming without falling due to jet lag.
At the same time, North America has entered the awards season, and Z Studio's first Olympic film "Dallas Buyers Club" has been released on a small scale in North America, and the public relations process has also been launched.
However, due to the size of the company, Z Studio is unable to complete the public relations process independently, and the public relations of "Dallas Buyers Club" will be jointly completed by Z Studio and Universal Pictures, the global distributor of the film, with 75% of the public relations costs borne by Z Studio and the remaining 25% provided by Universal.
Zhang Yuanjun is very optimistic about the performance of "Dallas Buyers Club", and generally speaking, marginal characters and marginal themes are more likely to win the favor of judges - this is the case with film award judges all over the world.
But Zhang Yuanjun doesn't want the company's key public relations best film, and it can be nominated for it, Zhang Yuanjun suggested that the public relations team focus on the performance award.
Of course, the PR team was also very professional, and they also saw Matthew McConaughey's excellent performance in the film, and Matthew's preparation for the role of Ron Woodruff was too good for telling a PR story.
In order to prepare Ron Woodruff, Matthew went on a diet to lose weight under the guidance of a dietitian half a year in advance, and finally lost more than 30 pounds to meet the requirements of the role.
Supporting actor Jared Leto has a similar story, not to mention that he is still playing a transvestite, which is even more correct.
The simple and crude trick of selling miserably is used all over the world.
Another film of the company, "The Hunger Games 2", has also landed in theaters, and the results are very good.
"The Hunger Games" is not an A-level production in Hollywood, but for Z Studio, the financial pressure to produce such a film is very high.
Not to mention that all the material for "The Hunger Games 3" has been filmed in advance, and the third part will be released in two parts.
This led to a not-so-good result, with the exception of "The Hunger Games," all of Z Studio's films cost less than $10 million per film.
The company's plan for next year is all small cost, "Split", $9 million; Happy Death Day, $4.8 million.
got "Moving Maze", but because the production cost was too high, I had to turn to outside investment.
However, according to Eddie's report, due to the good performance of "The Hunger Games", the company has attracted the attention of investors in Hollywood, and financing is relatively simple.
One concern, however, is that investors are not so confident in a Chinese-controlled Hollywood studio, but as long as Z Studio's business prospects continue to be proven, the company's vision of raising money to go public should not be difficult to achieve.
It's actually quite dangerous to make action movies, especially films like "Fast Pursuit", which have gunfights and action.
Should I say that Zhang Yuanjun is lucky or not.
Unfortunately, he's only made two action movies so far, "Lone Agent" and "Fast and Furious," both of which were injured during filming.
But luckily, he didn't suffer serious injuries in either film.
Compared with Cheng Long, Wu Jing, and Nicholas Tse, they broke their hands, feet, and bones, and Zhang Yuanjun's injuries were at most scratched skin.
Many injuries don't need to go to the hospital, the medical team on the scene can deal with them, and they can continue filming after resting for a while.
Zhang Yuanjun joked with his assistant: "God bless me, knowing that I have just been married for a year and have not yet given birth to children, I am reluctant to let me get hurt." ”
Xiao Zhao smacked at him: "Bah, baba, say such frustrating words." You are not seriously injured, if you send your tidbits to Yifei, you can see if she scolds you. ”
"No, how could she be so stingy."
"Zhang, it's on." The director called him from a distance.
Today is the 26th, and the crew just came back from three days of Christmas vacation.
As an actor, Zhang Yuanjun likes the Hollywood crew's work of 8 hours a day, as well as holidays, and can get a lot of overtime pay for exceeding working hours.
However, "Fast Pursuit" is a company's drama, and he is also the boss, so he hates this kind of filming system!
The crew has a day off, and the staff does not have to pay, but the equipment and venue will not be counted as rent because the crew rests, which is very expensive!
This kind of system is simply unreasonable in China.
Zhang Yuanjun has also filmed a lot of films in the United States, but every time he comes to the United States to shoot a domestic film, he has to spend some energy to readapt to the way of working in Hollywood.
Today's finale scene is a simple literary play, John buries his wife, meets his old friend Marcus in the cemetery, and the two sides have a simple exchange.
Director David Leitch said: "This scene is not difficult for you, we will fight for a pass, and I will invite you to drink when it is finished." ”
"David, the cost of the finale party is also counted on the crew, or I paid for it, I should invite you."
"Zhang, you're such a shrewd businessman." David laughed.
Zhang Yuanjun walked into the set with an umbrella, and it began to rain in the middle of the scene, and it would rain for a while, otherwise the whole scene would look too fake.
Zhang Yuanjun stood with the group performers attending the funeral for about two minutes, and the director shouted to turn on the film.
John watched his wife's coffin slowly sink into the cemetery, his eyes full of sadness and loss, and the two directors behind the monitor exchanged: "This kind of literary drama acting is really enough to act in an action movie." ”
Zhang Yuanjun walked away slowly with an umbrella and met Willem Dafoe, the actor who played Marcus, on the path of the cemetery.
"It's been a while, mourning. How are you? ”
Zhang Yuanjun said: "I keep asking myself why her. ”
"The world is impermanent, and there are always a few days like this in this life."
"Are you sure?"
"Don't beat yourself up too much."
John began to wonder the purpose of his old friend's visit, and said with a little doubt, "What the hell are you here for, Marcus?" ”
"Just to see an old friend." Marcus looked like he was speechless.
John didn't believe it, of course, but he didn't ask much at the moment.
"Goodbye, John." Marcus held out his hand.
Zhang Yuanjun shook hands with him, watched him leave, turned sideways, and looked at the dark clouds.
"Click!" The director shouted, "Perfect! It's done! (End of chapter)
