Chapter 149 Zhang Jing and Warm-up
Chapter 149 Return to Beijing and Warm-up
The filming mission of the "Wushuang" crew in Vancouver was more urgent than when they were in Hong Kong.
Being in an unfamiliar overseas environment, every extra day a crew of dozens of people stays means a lot of extra expenses.
Fortunately, the crew members already cooperated very well, and the recent filming in Hong Kong also allowed them to get back on track.
So even though there was a lot of pressure, the entire filming process went smoothly.
Highway 99, Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, Hamilton Street, Independence Masonic Building...
These places all have traces of the "Wushuang" crew.
By the time all the Vancouver-related shots were completed, it was already the end of June.
When the crew members of "Wushuang" boarded the flight to Shanghai, they were awakened from their dreams and realized that the filming of the movie was almost coming to an end.
Next, they only need to complete the remaining indoor scene shooting in the studio in Shangjing, and the entire film can enter the post-production stage.
Originally, if it was based on the original version of "Wushuang", they should have gone to Thailand again to shoot some scenes.
But in the end, considering that the environment there was not very safe and there were no special attractions in this part of the film, they finally decided to move this part of the film to the mainland and finish filming it together when the time comes.
The efficiency of completing the filming of a big-budget movie so quickly surprised the Hong Kong colleagues in the crew.
After much thought, they could only attribute this to the fact that director Wang Hao was too professional. The arrangement of each scene was very appropriate, and he was very clear about what kind of shots were needed. This reduced the number of mistakes and shortened the production time.
However, Wang Hao, who was also on the plane, knew clearly that the reason why the filming was so quick this time was that he did not make a lot of changes to the plot of the movie "Wushuang", but only modified some content details in order to integrate it into the "Three-Body" series.
It is precisely because he has the original movie in his mind as a reference that he is able to avoid many detours in the filming and production of the movie.
Although this production mode, which is almost like copying, is not very decent, he has no choice but to do it for the rapid development of China's film industry and the accumulation of initial capital.
Just one day before Wang Hao and his team finished filming the main plot and set off for Beijing, news about "Wushuang" began to appear on the domestic Internet.
These are of course the work of the publicity and promotion department of Galaxy Interactive Entertainment. As the filming of the movie has been basically completed and is scheduled to be released on October 10 this year, the publicity and promotion department of the movie will also begin to warm up for "Wushuang".
With the emergence of these news, Wang Hao and "Wushuang" naturally attracted the attention of a large number of viewers.
Thanks to the huge box office success of his previous film "Fatal Call", the name Wang Hao has become well-known in the domestic film and television circles, and most young audiences know that there is a new director like him with a trendy style.
So when the plane of the "Wushuang" crew landed at the airport, there were actually a few reporters who got the news and blocked them at the airport. However, it was not known whether they had heard the news by accident or someone had deliberately revealed it to them.
"Director Wang! Director Wang!
I heard that your new movie has been filmed overseas? Can you tell us about the new movie?
"Director Wang! Director Wang!
There is news that your film is a Sino-US co-production, and the actors invited are big Hollywood stars. Is this news accurate?" "Director Wang! Director Wang..."
Wang Hao looked at these enthusiastic reporters and reacted quickly. He smiled and pressed his palms downwards, signaling them to be quiet so as not to disturb the surrounding passengers. Then he casually pointed to a reporter from Sina Entertainment and answered the other party's question.
"Yes, I have completed the filming of my new movie overseas this time. The name of the movie is "Wushuang", which is a Sino-US co-produced action movie with a crime theme. It has some connection with the previous movie "Fatal Call", but it does not belong to the "Heart Labyrinth" series. It can be regarded as another new series."
"Director Wang, what is the name of this new series?" a reporter asked.
Wang Hao smiled and waved his hand, "It's not convenient to disclose this for the time being. Okay, everyone, please don't block here. Make way, make way."
After revealing some information, the crew members of "Wushuang" rushed out of the blockade of reporters, boarded the bus and left the airport.
In the following half month, the crew continued to shoot the remaining scenes of "Wushuang". During this process, Wan Qian, who played Wu Xiuqing, finally joined the crew.
Yes, the role that Wang Hao asked Wan Qian to audition for last time was Wu Xiuqing, the one in the counterfeit money team who deeply loved Li Wen and had plastic surgery to look like Ruan Wen.
Although this role does not have many scenes in "Wushuang", it is still an extremely rare role for Wan Qian today.
After all, there are only a few big-budget movies like "Wushuang" released in mainland China every year, and many actresses are vying for a supporting role in it.
It's a pity that Wan Qian didn't have a good face towards Wang Hao because of this incident, because since he took her to buy new clothes that time, Wang Hao, who was busy with work, hadn't contacted her for more than three months.
Even the matter of her participating in "Wushuang" was contacted by Wang Hao's assistant.
This shows that he doesn't care about her at all. Maybe he has hooked up with that vixen after going abroad.
Wang Hao didn't take Wan Qian's anger to heart. The emotional game between men and women is like this. The more you value it, the deeper you fall into it, which proves that you lose more.
The loser is the one who won't give up easily.
Sure enough, on the third day after joining the group, although Wan Qian still had a stern face in front of Wang Hao, she was no longer averse to Wang Hao's approach in private.
Just when Wang Hao and Wan Qian were getting closer in the crew, the interview he had done at the airport was also released.
Then starting from mid-July, "Wushuang" frequently appeared in various press releases and news on the Internet and newspapers.
These news were initially intended to build momentum for "Wushuang".
Such as:
“The new billionaire director returns with his new film!”
"This National Day, a blockbuster co-produced by China and the United States is coming!"
"King Guo joins hands with Hollywood Oscar winner, two heroes face off, who will win?"
However, these news were soon accompanied by a lot of negative news.
