July 6th is said to be an auspicious day. Although Zhang Shaoyu is a highly educated university graduate (although he is only a junior college graduate), every industry has its own rules, so he still agreed to Director Wu to officially select him on this day. Power on.
With a huge investment of 200 million, we cannot be careless. Jiuzhaigou Valley has always been said to be a paradise on earth. It is dominated by lakes, streams, pools and moors, and has lush mountains, rivers, trees and rocks. Among them, the travertine karst landscape, which is dominated by colorful lakes in the mountains and cascading waterfalls, is breathtaking.
There are many peaks over 4,000 meters on both sides of Jiuzhaigou. The dense virgin forests cover the sky and avoid the sun. There are many green bamboos on the hills, swaying in the wind, and they are graceful. There are 108 sea pods of different sizes and shapes distributed like beads in the trench. Although it is more than tens of meters deep, you can look directly at the seabed. Due to the different types of plants in the water and the sediments at the bottom of the lake, the water has different colors and the ripples are colorful. Under the morning or sunset, the reflection in the sea is clearer and more vivid. The scenery is different as you step, and it is endless fun.
Many major directors from the mainland like to shoot movies here, including Zhang Yimou, Zhang Jizong, etc. The stunning scenery of Jiuzhaigou is also well-known to the world through these movies and TV shows. Wu Ji had already submitted his application to the scenic spot management committee in advance and paid the relevant fees.
The entire "Evil God" crew will be filming here for a month. Logically speaking, you should enjoy yourself in this paradise on earth, a place with stunning scenery. But Zhang Shaoyu does not have this blessing. As the boss and leading actor of the entire show, he is busier than anyone else.
In addition to completing his usual shooting tasks, he also has to keep an eye on the filming progress of the entire drama, as well as expenses and other issues. Even after finishing work every day, he couldn't rest. Since the filming of "The Evil God" started in Jiuzhaigou, the media began to pay close attention to this matter. Now, whether on the Internet or in traditional media, news about Zhang Shaoyu and "The Evil God" can be seen everywhere.
Although the filming of "The Evil Dead" has already begun, it seems that everyone is skeptical about the success of the film. That's right, Zhang Shaoyu can sing well, act well, and do business well, but investing in movies has already seen lessons learned, and he still has the courage to push forward. Could it be that he was kicked in the head by a donkey?
And, the most important reason is that so far, no distribution company has expressed interest in the film. In other words, even if this film is made, if no distribution company takes a fancy to it, who will get it to be shown in theaters? Also, it¡¯s impossible for a movie with an investment of 200 million to be released only in China, right? Who will open the North American market? What about the European market?
But strangely, since the crew of "The Evil God" settled in Jiuzhaigou for filming, they have not made any comments on the matter and refused any media interviews, casting a veil of mystery over the "The Evil God".
The Chinese entertainment industry has never paid such unanimous attention to one thing, as if the whole world is revolving around Zhang Shaoyu. People want to see how many miracles this young man can create.
The set was busy. Wu Ji sat next to the camera and watched the actors attentively. Zhang Shaoyu looked elegant and handsome in a specially customized costume. His long hair fluttered in the wind, almost covering his eyes. In his hand, he held a long, strange-shaped weapon, looking at the opponent in front of him with a smile.
This is next to a lake. The crystal clear lake water reflected Zhang Shaoyu's long figure. Suddenly, his feet moved and the weapon in his hand was raised high. The face that had just a smile on it became terrifyingly gloomy.
"This kid is really promising, just right." Director Wu nodded secretly while looking at the situation on the field. Zhang Shaoyu's acting skills are getting better and better. He said before that Zhang Shaoyu is a natural actor. Now it seems that this is not wrong at all.
Which one of the actors starring opposite him is not a superstar who has been famous in the entertainment industry for many years? But when Zhang Shaoyu acted with them, he didn't show any greenness at all, and he was very open-minded. Even these big-name artists expressed their appreciation. They all said that the waves in the front push the waves in front, and the younger ones are to be feared.
"Stuck! Okay, let's take some shots! Miss Jin, get ready, Shaoyu, change your clothes!" Director Wu suddenly stood up from his chair and shouted loudly at everyone. In this crew, he is the absolute leader. Although Zhang Shaoyu is the boss, you still have to listen to him when it comes to filming.
And all the kings and queens seem to have become accustomed to his "domineering" style, and no one has ever expressed any objection.
Kim Hee-sun deserves to be the most beautiful woman in South Korea. Every smile and every frown exudes the charm of a country. She doesn¡¯t understand Chinese, so she carries a translator with her to translate her lines into Chinese and explain them to her. At this time, after hearing the director's order, the female translator beside her quickly conveyed the meaning to her.
Looking at the male protagonist who was walking to the sidelines, Jin Xishan felt a little nervous in his heart. Because she knew that the leading actor, who had never laughed since joining the crew, was still the boss of this film.
"Shaoyu, you must pay attention to the next scene. To show the kind of artistic conception that transcends mountains and rivers, eyes and expressions are very important, you know?" Director Wu followed Zhang Shaoyu with the script and kept reminding him. . Zhang Shaoyu nodded while listening. He could almost memorize the script, so he naturally knew this.
"Okay, all units are ready." Wu Ji returned to his position and said loudly.
Kim Hee Sun came on stage. She was dressed in pure white clothes and looked like a fairy. She attracted all the attention as soon as she came out. Even the staff who were used to seeing beautiful women couldn't help but take a second look. Zhang Shaoyu watched her coming towards her with outstanding temperament. In the past, he would have feasted on her and showed off her beauty, but now, he really was not in the mood.
His physical condition was deteriorating, and he could clearly feel the footsteps of death pressing on him. What he is doing now is to use all available opportunities and time to complete this movie and fulfill his last wish.
As if he could tell that the heroine was a little nervous, Zhang Shaoyu showed a rare smile. Even though he knew that she couldn't understand, he still said softly: "I have admired my name for a long time."
Jin Xishan saw that this unsmiling boss actually smiled. Although he didn't know what he was talking about, it was obvious that his words were mostly words of praise and encouragement, so he immediately responded with a sweet smile, full of charm. Even the surrounding mountains, rivers and trees seemed to be captivated by it at that moment.
"She is indeed a stunning beauty." Zhang Shaoyu sighed secretly in his heart. Immediately, the two of them took their seats, and as Director Wu said "start", a drama of affection between a lover and a concubine was staged by the fairyland-like lake.
The filming work is proceeding in an intense and orderly manner, and the entire "Evil God" crew members are performing their duties under the leadership of Director Wu. Zhang Shaoyu rarely talks to people except for his daily shooting work, and seems very silent and calm. Everyone on the crew was afraid of the young boss and thought he would be difficult to get close to.
Only Wu Ji knows that Zhang Shaoyu was not like this originally. For some reason, his temperament seems to have changed recently.
On this day, the crew completed the filming work for the day and called it a day. As usual, Zhang Shaoyu inquired about the progress of the work and returned to the hotel. During this time in Jiuzhaigou, people could always see him hurriedly, as if he was the only one busy in the world.
Back to his room, Zhang Shaoyu made several calls in succession to inquire about the affairs of Tang Dynasty Restaurant and Qiyu Xuanang Advertising Company, regardless of the day's fatigue. After learning that everything was normal, he felt relieved.
Throwing the phone on the bed, Zhang Shaoyu sighed slightly and walked slowly to the window. I opened the window and looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window. I don't know why, but I felt a sense of depression. Midsummer looks as desolate as late autumn. Even the beautiful scenery looked tasteless.
The countdown has now begun, and the two-year period is getting closer and closer. Over the past few days, I seem to feel that my health is getting worse and worse. I am afraid that the black and white chain of impermanence has been put around my neck, right?
Everyone is destined to die, but facing death at a young age is still a bit cruel after all. But Zhang Shaoyu has no regrets in his heart. Unfulfilled wishes were fulfilled one by one. The album has been released, the concert has been held, and the filming of "The Evil God" is also intensifying. It seems that there is really nothing to regret in this world.
"Are there really no regrets?" Zhang Shaoyu asked himself in his heart.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Zhang Shaoyu looked back and saw Director Wu also opened the door and walked in. Haha, I am a teacher, and as one of the leading directors in the country, I am so casual, regardless of my image, I wander out shirtless.
¡°Oh, it¡¯s so hot in Sichuan!¡± Wu Ji shouted as soon as he entered the door.
Zhang Shaoyu took the air conditioner remote control from the cabinet next to him and turned the air conditioner up. Wu Ji rushed directly to the air conditioner and shouted happily.
"Hey, Boss Zhang, are you satisfied with the current work situation?" Wu Ji turned his head and asked with a smile.
"Haha, the teacher is making fun of me again. Everything is going well so far. Oh, by the way, according to your estimate, when will it be completed?" Zhang Shaoyu asked.
Wu Ji thought for a while and replied: "It has only been less than a month since the filming started. It will probably take less than half a year. There are also post-production computer stunt production, publicity, etc. It is estimated that it will take ten months to a year. This film Only then can the film be released.¡±
¡°Hehe, in one year, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t have thatToo much time to wait. Zhang Shaoyu turned around, sat down on the sofa, raised his head, and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Wu Ji seemed to have cooled off too. Looking back at Zhang Shaoyu, he couldn't help but feel doubtful. What happened to this kid? He seems to have become a different person in the past six months. He doesn't talk as much as before, and his smiles are less. He works hard every day, as if he doesn't have much time.
"Director Wu." When Wu Jizheng was deep in thought, Zhang Shaoyu called out.
"Huh?" Wu Ji sat next to him and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Can you hurry up a little bit? Of course, I'm talking about ensuring quality." Zhang Shaoyu asked in a consultative tone. As soon as he said this, Wu Ji's doubts deepened. This is not like Zhang Shaoyu. Although Zhang Shaoyu always did things vigorously and resolutely in the past, he paid attention to details and process and never refused to rush into things. When I directed "The Evil God" this time, I also deliberately slowed down and strived for excellence.
Why is he asking to catch up now? No, this kid must be hiding something from him, and he has to dig it out today.
"Shaoyu, have we known each other for more than a year?" Wu Ji avoided talking about Zhang Shaoyu's question just now and asked him instead.
Zhang Shaoyu seemed a little surprised. He sat up from the sofa and said strangely: "Yes, it's been almost two years. Why, why did Director Wu think of asking this question?"
"Tell me, how have I, Wu, treated you in the past two years?" Wu Ji was always serious, but now he almost turned into a black-faced Bao Gong.
Zhang Shaoyu replied sternly: "Director Wu is like my teacher, always educating me and supporting me. I will never forget this even if I die."
Hearing Zhang Shaoyu's heartfelt words, Wu Ji felt very comforted. He softened his expression and said softly: "I'm very happy that you can think so. Shaoyu, to tell you the truth, you are my most proud disciple. You have high hopes. I not only regard you as a student, you are also my friend, and we have been friends for many years. So, if you have anything, please don¡¯t hide it from me. "
Hearing what Wu Ji meant, Zhang Shaoyu smiled slightly and lay back again. He looked around and said: "This is natural. Hey, I find Miss Jin is quite interesting. Look at her"
"Don't change the subject, Shaoyu, let me ask you, what happened to make you like this?" Wu Ji is a veteran in the battlefield, how could he let Zhang Shaoyu get away with this little trick? , before he finished speaking, he had already pressed on.
