Entertainment, I just like making movies

ten minutes later.

Uncle Dao Ming failed the audition.

Fang Ziheng didn't dare to bet. If it was the role of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, he would give the role without saying a word.

At the beginning of "The Great Wall", the era is set as Da Zong's death and Gaozong Li Zhi's accession to the throne.

Li Zhi's age requires a person in his thirties to play the role.

However, Fang Ziheng did not let Dao Ming Shubai come and invited him to play the role of Zhuge Shenhou in "Four Famous Catchers 2".

"Uncle Ming, Zhuge Shenhou from "Four Famous Catchers 2", I have to trouble you to come forward."

"Haha, thank you, Director Fang!"

After hearing this, Uncle Dao Ming's eyes lit up, and he happily thanked him.

The second person to audition was Zhang Guoli.

As soon as he saw this person coming in, Fang Ziheng had an idea in his mind, so he gave him Chang Sun Wuji's script and decided directly.

Changsun Wuji, ranked first among the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty, was appointed as the Minister of Gu Ming when Li Shimin died.

After Gaozong Li Zhi came to the throne, Changsun Wuji was promoted to the third rank of Taiwei and Tongzhongshu.

This character is a powerful figure in the movie, with a deep mind and a sea of ​​wits. Zhang Guoli is the most suitable to play it.

Subsequently, Deng Chao, Liu Ye, Chen Kun, Hu Jun, Nie Yuan, Huang Jiaozhu and others auditioned one after another.

Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi was cast by Chen Kun. His feminine temperament made him more suitable for a young emperor with imperial ambitions than any other actor.

The former member of the Xuanjia Guards, Wang Meng, was captured by Hu Jun. His rough and arrogant aura naturally gave people the feeling of being a brave and tough guy.

Pei Suyun, the captain of the forward battalion, was captured by Nie Yuan.

In the character setting, Pei Suyun rides a handsome white horse, pierces the clouds with a spear, and descends like a dragon to kill countless strange beasts.

This role must not only match the heroic temperament, but also have spear skills and excellent equestrian skills.

Deng Chao and Liu Ye were almost incompatible, and their roles were not as consistent as Nie Yuan's.

A large investment of US$150 million, and the main controller is Wanda.

Even if Fang Ziheng wants to promote Hengyu's artists, the four leading actors must be cautious.

Of course, Deng Chao and Liu Ye also gained something, each of them got a major role.

Among the seven leading actors, Deng Chao plays the city defense military colonel of Tianque City. In the movie, he is the official of the Tang Dynasty who first discovers the movement of strange beasts.

Liu Ye plays the role of Orion. This character is very miserable. He has a sworn hatred with the alien beasts. The whole village was killed by the alien beasts, leaving him alone to roar in the sky.

Among the female characters, the second female lead, Wu Meiniang, the imperial concubine of the Tang Dynasty, failed to pass the audition four times.

Fang Ziheng fell in love with Yang Xue at a glance. She was a ruthless beauty. Except for her figure, which was slightly inferior to that of the second candidate Fan Bing, her acting skills, temperament, and age were all very suitable for him as Wu Meiniang.

The role of the wife of Xue Rengui, the third female lead, was won by Liu Tao. She wore a gorgeous short shirt and long skirt, revealing the ditch, and she had the style of a beautiful mature woman from the Tang Dynasty.

One thing to say is that when it comes to playing beautiful mature women, Liu Tao stands at the top of the industry. Whether it is a modern character or a costume character, she has perfect figure, appearance, and temperament.

One p.m.

Except for General Xue Rengui, the four leading and seven leading actors in "The Great Wall" have all played their roles.

For the rest of the supporting characters, Fang Ziheng all befriended Concubine Lin as a favor.

In addition to the starring role, there are also supporting roles such as envoys from various countries, and even the then queen of Goryeo.

The queen claimed to be a concubine and submitted a plea to the Tang emperor, saying that alien beasts had attacked the envoys sent by the Goryeo Kingdom.

There are also the countries of Dashi and the Western Regions. A large group of foreign envoys came to the imperial capital Chang'an City and performed a dog-licking dance at the Lantern Festival dinner held by the Celestial Empire.

"The Great Wall", in addition to the main line of fighting against the Qing Dynasty to suppress the beasts outside, there is also a hidden line, which is to demonstrate the strength and influence of the Tang Dynasty through various descriptions and true reflections of envoys from various countries in history.

hotel restaurant.

Fang Ziheng, Lao Mouzi and the actors who got the roles gathered together to have a casual meal.

He picked up a glass of rice wine, glanced slowly at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, in the next six months, we all have to fight side by side."

"Everyone who is familiar with me knows that I am easy to deal with. As long as I don't touch the bottom line and complete the shooting tasks on time, I can have fun with everyone as I please."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he vaccinated everyone.

Different from his previous movies, "The Great Wall" has a lot of martial arts scenes, including horse riding, fighting, and fighting. The various action scenes are extremely complicated and more difficult than the last.

Whether the actors are capable and able to endure hardship is a big question.

Deng Chao and Liu Ye, as direct descendants of Hengyu, were the first to express their stance: "Don't worry, director, we will fight wherever you point us!"

"Director, it is my honor to film with you. Look at my performance, I will not let you down."

Nie Yuan spoke out for the second time, his eyes bright and his expression uncontrollably excited.

After years of silence, he was finally chosen by a big director and landed a very important role in a big cast.

Then, Zhang Guoli, Hu Jun, Liu Tao, and Yang Xue all expressed their opinions that they would go all out and not hold back the crew.

No one is a newcomer. Except for Da Tiantian, who is a close relative, everyone at the dinner table can be called an experienced actor.

After thinking for a moment, everyone understood the reason why Fang Ziheng got vaccinated in advance.

A big production worth US$150 million cannot be taken too seriously, especially the leading actors, who must be treated with 200% energy.

After lunch, Fang Ziheng didn't take a break. He called the two executive producers of the crew over and asked about the situation of the filming set of "The Great Wall".

"Old Qin, to what extent has Tianque City been built?"

"Director, we have entered the final stage of interior decoration in the city and it is expected to be completed in May."

A man in his thirties thought for a while and said, then he took out a blueprint of Tianque City from his bag and handed it to Fang Ziheng.

His name is Qin Miao, the executive producer of "The Great Wall" and the first team leader of the Hengyu Media Production Department.

Lin Feifei has rarely participated in front-line film production since "The Secret of the Dragon" last year. In addition to being named as the producer of Fang Ziheng's new projects as usual, she has integrated several major production departments of the company to provide support to the crew.

Specific matters are generally handed over to the team under the production department.

There are seven major groups in the Hengyu Production Department, and the first group belongs to Fang Ziheng’s royal team.

Fang Ziheng looked at the drawings carefully and continued to ask: "Where is the hidden place of the alien beast army, the village outside Tianque City?"

"The village has been built. It is also outside the Mobei Pass, ten kilometers away from Tianque City. The place where the strange beasts hide has not yet been found. There is no large virgin forest near the pass."

"Send people to the Daxinganling Mountains, notify China Film and Wanda, and ask them to contact the Northeastern government. I need to actually shoot the final battle of "The Great Wall" in the Daxinganling Mountains!"

After finishing speaking, Fang Ziheng tapped the drawing, traced several places on the paper with his fingers and said: "Inform Xiao Yang of Tiangong Yicai to bring someone to come. The details of this drawing need to be improved. Tianque City is presented on the big screen, facing The beast dynasty’s army must have an aura that allows one man to block the way and prevent ten thousand others from getting rid of it!”

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Qin Miao replied, and immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket to contact the contacts at China Film Group and Wanda Film and Television.

In the plot of "The Great Wall", there are a total of four battles and two murder scenes.

According to the plot sequence, in the first battle, a small group of troops encountered several large beasts while patrolling, and surrounded and killed them.

During the first massacre, strange beasts appeared, found Tianque City by smell, and then massacred the villages outside the city.

In the second battle, the army attacked and fought with the alien beasts outside Tianque City.

The third battle involves alien beasts attacking the city and a brutal battle to defend Tianque City.

In the second massacre, the alien beasts failed to attack the city and had to retreat back to their old lair. They attacked countless caravans coming to China for trade and missions from various countries paying tribute to the emperor.

In the fourth battle, the decree of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty came. Xue Rengui had no scruples and mobilized heavy troops to attack Huanglong. He destroyed hundreds of millions of beasts in one battle and established the great reputation of the Tian Dynasty.

Four battles and two killing scenes.

The plot unfolds slowly in a standard movie rhythm, rising first and then suppressing, being both high-spirited and tragic in the middle, and finally the whole army attacks, creating a great feeling.

The filming was more difficult each time, especially the battle to defend Tianque City and the final attack on Huanglong, which required a massive amount of extras, manpower, material resources, props and weapons.

Hengyu Media Props Company is working overtime to produce spears, Tang Dynasty costumes and armor.

Fortunately, the production funds are sufficient, so we can go to great lengths to build it. The application from the military has also been received and they have agreed to assist in the filming.

All preparations are being carried out in an orderly manner.

The crew will start shooting in a while and will shoot the scenes in Chang'an City first.

The only thing that gives Fang Ziheng a headache is that the role of General Xue Rengui was not chosen today.

This role is really important!

None of the actors present for the audition today could meet the standards he had in mind.

The crew has contacted the National Theater, Human Drama, Chinese Opera, and Film Academy, hoping to find suitable actors as soon as possible.

After staying in Jinhua for two days, Fang Ziheng led a team to inspect the set conditions of Hengdian Chang'an City, and then left the crew to accompany Liu Qianqian back to the imperial capital.

The crew moved into the studio. As the chief director, he didn't have to do everything. He could just ask around every day and wait for the filming to start.

The young lady is not working during this period, and he just happens to spend more time with others.

In a few days, the young lady will also join the filming of "The Big Four 2". The two of them are completely different and separated again.

In the duplex building.

"Sissi, why didn't your mother ask me to come to your house to pay New Year's greetings this year?"

After finishing, Fang Ziheng stroked the young lady's fair and rosy back and asked with a slight breath.

"Don't talk to me, I'm tired."

Liu Qianqian moved her fingers, buried her face on the pillow, and replied weakly.

During the Chinese New Year this year, he was busy perfecting the script and drawings of "The Great Wall" and did not go to his little sister's house to pay her New Year greetings. She gave him a lot of slaps.

After a long while, Liu Qianqian regained some strength, turned over and lay in his arms, pinched his nose and said coquettishly: "What did you just say? Why didn't you ask you to come to my house to celebrate the New Year? You still need to call me? You won't come to the door on your own initiative. ah!"

"I'm not busy! Besides, you didn't come back until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so it's not appropriate for me to go to your house alone."

Fang Ziheng said forcefully, and gave the young lady a peck with a smile.

Liu Qianqian pulled the quilt, put her chin on his chest, thought for a while with her eyes narrowed, and said softly: "Zi Heng, do you dislike my mother?"

Forehead..

What does this mean?

Mother-in-law, I don’t dare to like her either!

Fang Ziheng was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the young lady meant.

Seeing him taking a nap, Liu Qianqian opened her mouth to bite and snorted coldly: "Don't be careless. I know that you, like many people in the circle, despise my mother. You think she is big-breasted and brainless, and likes to get in my way and cause trouble!"

"I can't, my dear."

Fang Ziheng felt relieved, but fortunately he didn't mean that.

He opened his hands, hugged the young lady with one hand, stroked her hair with the other, and said, "Where did you hear this? Didn't your mother stop interfering in your career a long time ago?"

"Who says you don't get involved? My mother just doesn't get involved when I accept roles from the company. She has accepted many scripts for me from other companies in the past two years, but they were all rejected by Qian Qian."

Liu Qianqian complained dejectedly, and then showed an angry and funny look: "My mother is worried that I will rely too much on you and only take roles in the company, resulting in the loss of external resources to competitors, so she has always wanted me to have two more legs. walk."

"Well, Sissi, your mother is right."

"You have been well protected and have never suffered any loss. She is right to be worried."

"Then there is still you, and you want to leave me?" Liu Qianqian's eyes flashed and she looked straight at him.

"That's not possible. Where can I find such an excellent and beautiful wife as you?"

Fang Ziheng was happy, and finally understood why the young lady suddenly acted like this today.

It turns out that I have a sense of crisis and am worried about him!

Tsk tsk

Forget about talking, he directly proved his love for the young lady with actions.

A rollover.

Fang Ziheng starts a new war!

The film market at the end of February has nothing to do with domestic films. With the release of "Xiuchungdao", "Mission: Impossible 4" has completely demonstrated its super dominance.

A month after its release, "Mission: Impossible 4" has grossed nearly 20 million at the box office in a single week.

The total box office exceeded 600 million, and many domestic films were suppressed without any resistance.

It wasn't until early March that "Sister Peach" was released, and it earned 36 million soft sister coins in the four days of its first weekend, knocking "Mission: Impossible 4" away and taking the top spot at the weekly box office.

On March 8th, Women's Day, the comedy film "The Magical Hillbilly" starring Bao Qiang Wang was released.

Although Bao Qiang performed well enough in "Tang Detective" and "Thailand" and joined the top Chinese actor series, he still failed to lead this bad movie.

"The Magical Hillbilly" only had a box office of just over 2 million in its first week, and it was a complete flop. Baoqiang's comedy style no longer shines without a good script.

There is also "Car on the Road" starring Deyun Club leader Lao Guo, with a box office of 1.5 million on the first day, which was also a complete success.

Some cross talk fans went to Lao Guo's Weibo to laugh at him, saying that he didn't choose the title of his movie well. If the title of the movie was changed to "Shocking on the Road" or "Car on the Road", cross talk fans like them would definitely go to the movie to support him.

Lao Guo's Weibo account is quite funny. He actually replied to a few cross talk fans who were slightly joking, and posted a few aggrieved expressions, saying that he would learn a lesson next time and ask these cross talk fans for their opinions before the movie is released. .

Fang Ziheng took a break from his busy schedule and took his young sister to the Deyun Club to support him, and watched two crosstalk performances by Lao Guo in a row.

Not to mention, Lao Guo is really better than the old in cross talk, and has blazed his own unique path of the Guo School.

Watching it live is really exciting.

March 9th.

Fang Ziheng returned to Hengdian, and the filming of "The Great Wall" officially started.

The candidate for General Xue Rengui was finally found, but it was long overdue.

Zhang Fengyi is an experienced actor with excellent acting skills and a plump military image.
