I didn't want to be an actor

"I looked for Wu Jing last year."

"real?"

"Well, this drama is funded by Beiwen. Brother Song has a good relationship with Wu Jing...I met Wu Jing through him."

"The Wandering Earth" is produced by China Film, BJ Culture, and Wanda.

As early as October 2016, during the preparation stage of "The Wandering Earth", Guo Fan invited Wu Jing to play astronaut Liu Peiqiang.

Guo Fan feels that Wu Jing looks like an astronaut.

But Wu Jing did not agree immediately at that time. It is understandable that Wu Jing was focused on "Wolf Warrior 2" at that time...

Liu Peiqiang's character doesn't interact much with other characters and belongs to a space line, so this line has been left empty and not filmed.

But now we have to finalize it quickly...

Either don’t shoot it, or find a big star!

If you want to shoot space lines, you will have to increase the cost by at least 100 million.

Guo Fan's idea is to invite big stars to join - with the blessing of big stars, it will be easier to attract investment!

The current cast of "The Wandering Earth" is really a bit shabby. Although Shen Liang is somewhat famous, he has never acted in a movie. He is a complete newcomer and his reputation is not very good. Zhao Jinmai is a novice in the entertainment industry.

Wu Mengtat, the only veteran who is somewhat famous, has been retired for many years and has long since passed...

Li Hongjie?

Li Hongjie has never been an attractive actor...

Such a lineup does not have strong box office appeal.

Coupled with the science fiction theme...and the crew's lack of money, which big star is willing to donate his precious time?

Liang Chaowei?

If you have that time, wouldn't it be profitable to film "Monster Hunt 2" and "European Raiders"?

Zhou Runfa?

After thinking too much, a reporter asked Zhou Yunfa, "Since you have decided to donate the fruits, why are you not willing to lower the salary?" ’

Answer: Movies are business, not art, making money is the rule!

Do you expect these two people to join a project with uncertain prospects for the sake of film art?

What about dreaming?

However, Guo Fan has actually contacted Wu Jing?

Shen Liang hurriedly said: "Then contact him again!"

"He is now the number one actor in single films in Asia with "Wolf Warrior 2"... I feel that it is not a good time to find him at this time..."

"What's wrong? Do you think he has too many negative fans?"

Guo Fan was confused: "Black fans? What black fans?"

"Wu Jing's PTSD! Don't you know this word? There are many people who summed up what Wu Jing said as Jingxue!"

Guo Fan shook his head: "I haven't been online for a long time..."

A Beijing scholar, it is clear that he has the capital to add fuel to the flames, trying to turn him into another Liuxue and make Wu Jing a laughing stock.

I just didn't expect that "The Wandering Earth" would come out, and the empty-glove warrior would sweep away all trash memes. Then, a bunch of people continued to comb through his reports tirelessly, and they only found out about his drunk driving many years ago, which made him even more popular. Wave "Irregular driving, relatives shed tears"...

"I heard that Wu Jing is very loyal. We will make a date for a drink together and get him drunk together, and then bring him to the crew... Let him see our sincerity!"

"Can it be done?"

"It can definitely be done," Shen Liang said with a serious expression, "Even Uncle Da was moved by us!"

"Uncle Da?"

"Uncle Da told me that filming "The Wandering Earth" was different from the movies he shot in Hong Kong..."

Wu Mengda was indeed moved. He felt that Guo Fan had a sense of mission.

No one in China has ever dared to do this, Guo Fan will do it!

Uncle Da was very curious at first. You see, Guo Fan's experience is not very good. He has never filmed a few scenes that everyone is familiar with, and he is not an experienced director...

Why do you have this sense of mission?

Later, when I chatted with Shen Liang, I realized that this is the difference between mainland culture and Hong Kong culture. Hong Kong people care about money in everything. There is no way. Hong Kong is too commercial. You can’t make a good movie that will sell well. Money drama, next time you won’t have a boss.

They don't consider this when making movies in the Mainland, or they don't only consider these.

This incident moved Ng Meng-tat very much. Later, in an interview, he even said, "Although he has filmed many, many movies, if we want to be honest, this ("The Wandering Earth") is the one movie that can really work." , a movie that won’t be embarrassing. ’

After hearing Shen Liang's narration, Guo Fan was very moved, and then asked: "...Has the song Han Ziang listened to been created?"

"immediately…

"Can you do divine music?"

"...Don't underestimate me. If you want to say the theme song of "The Wandering Earth", I may not write it popular enough. For something like a divine song, there are three conditions: early chorus, simple rhythm, harmonious routine, and some inspirational lyrics. lyrics…"

"Okay, then write well!"

…

The theme song of "The Wandering Earth" "Wandering with the Earth" starts from the intention of the sea and stretches to the beginning of wandering, so that "I don't know where to go". This is a description of the human psychological state after the earth sets sail. They were full of confidence at the beginning of the voyage, but time and disasters will shaken the emotional human beings.

As for the second paragraph, it is a beautiful expectation for the human condition. No matter how many hardships and collapses it has experienced, it is still supported by hope, the courage to live, and the majestic vitality that everyone finally condenses to break through obstacles. , desolation, distance and space, reaching the other shore...

In terms of composition, D major and D minor alternate, so it gives the impression that the upper and lower sentences are not in the same tone...

Listenable, but not popular enough.

Let's marry Liu Huan and sing. Shen Liang prepared a promotional song called "Stars and Sea".

Although, the lyrics have nothing to do with "The Wandering Earth".

But this song is nice.

If it doesn't work, take another song "Man Is".

"Man Is" is a human war song!

If there is only one drop of water left in the world, it will never be human tears, but human blood.

At first glance, it seems to be wailing about the fate of mankind in the end of the world, but if you listen carefully, you can hear the surging blood in it. That is the courage to control our own destiny inherited from our ancestors, that is the rebelliousness that has never been polished in the blood inheritance, and that is the fighting spirit of mankind that continues after countless sufferings.

It is very suitable for the theme of "The Wandering Earth".

As for the divine song, it must be "Seaweed Dance"...

There is no rush for the song. Guo Fan has not even decided on Liu Peiqiang.

However, it does not affect the filming of the crew-after all, Liu Peiqiang's role is concentrated in space

Then Shen Liang left again-"Mars" started recording...

...

After the EP "Flowering All the Way" was released, the degree of popularity was just like that...

This is normal. The discussion on the "collapse of Chinese music" on the Internet is very noisy.

After all, we have experienced the era of Zhou Wang Tao Lin and established our own aesthetic system. Of course, we will feel that "classic" good songs are becoming more and more difficult to find.

A new singer like Shen Liang, who is so handsome, feels that he can't sing good songs from the bottom of his heart!

However, after the fourth episode of "Mars" was broadcast, the title song "Flowers Along the Way" became popular-soaring to the top of the hot song list.

In addition, the ranking of "Take You to Find Nightlife" also jumped up.

Sales have also increased a lot...

This is mainly due to Shen Liang singing "Flowers Along the Way" in "Mars".

Of course, it's not all good. He was criticized for burning the handle...
