Chapter 173 Visiting the Set of Lost on Journey

On the Beijing Film Academy side, after sobering up, Teacher Tian did not forget his promise, and quickly helped to connect Wang Hao's Galaxy Interactive Entertainment and Beijing Film Academy, and they reached a preliminary cooperation intention.

As for signing with Xingdou Agency, he is worthy of being a pillar among the older generation of filmmakers. With his status, he still called on many Beijing Film Academy students who were working behind the scenes in the film and television industry to join Wang Hao's agency.

With the participation and joining of these people, although Wang Hao's company is still not well-known, its strength and connections can no longer be underestimated.

While the company was busy receiving and assimilating these new employees, Wang Hao had already boarded a plane to Jiangcheng, Hubei Province.

When the plane landed, someone was already waiting for him at the airport.

"Boss, this way!"

Liu Wenwen, wearing a gray windbreaker, waved to Wang Hao who had just got off the plane.

Wang Hao asked with a smile when he saw the assistant who had been following him for some time.

"Why are you here to pick me up?"

"Of course it's me. The crew is so busy, I'm the only one who can spare the time."

Liu Wenwen wanted to take the luggage from her boss, but seeing Wang Hao refused, she did not force it and led him towards the parking lot.

Wang Hao walked beside her and looked up and down at the girl who had been doing odd jobs beside him before.

After more than two months of experience in the crew, her childishness has faded a lot, and was replaced by a resolute and decisive temperament.

"It seems that the crew is far from being as harmonious as Li Qian said!"

Wang Hao sat in the passenger seat, looked at Liu Wenwen who was about to drive, and suddenly said something.

Liu Wenwen paused as she shifted the gears, then answered cautiously.

"It's not that bad. It's just that Brother Xu and Sister Li have some disagreements on the creation."

Wang Hao understood what was said, fearing that this disagreement was not as trivial as Liu Wenwen said.

But this is normal. After all, this is Li Qian’s first time as a director and she only had experience as his assistant director before.

Moreover, she is a woman, so her authority in the crew is naturally weaker.

In addition, after the successful masterpiece "Fatal Call", Xu Zheng's status rose, and he jumped from a TV star to a movie star, which naturally boosted his arrogance.

The two are in the same crew, so it is normal for them to have conflicts over the right to speak on the film.

Wang Hao sat in the car, didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the scenery of Seoul outside the window.

As the most central metropolis in China, Seoul is also known as the "River City" and has the reputation of being the "crossroads of nine provinces."

The territory has well-developed water bodies and numerous lakes. The world's third largest river, the Yangtze River, and its largest tributary, the Han River, run across the center of the city, dividing it into three, forming a unique pattern of three towns standing across the river.

It is precisely because of this special transportation location that the crew of "Lost on Journey" chose this place as the filming location.

Yes, that’s right. Wang Hao came to Jiangcheng this time just to visit the crew of “Lost on Journey”.

When the company held a general meeting before, Wang Hao came up with four projects, including the spin-off movie of "The Fatal Call" - "Lost on Journey".

This movie is a prequel to "Fatal Call". It tells the story of Ma Chenggong, played by Xu Zheng, who met Tang Ren, a simple wage collector, on his way home from Shanghai during the Spring Festival before he became rich. The two encountered many embarrassing things on the way: the plane was forced to land in a snowstorm, the train line collapsed, the road was blocked, the van overturned... but in the end, everyone was happy. The investment in "Lost on Journey" was not large, only 500 million, and the plot was also very simple, so this project was wholly funded by Galaxy Interactive Entertainment. The director also chose Li Qian from their company, Wang Hao was the producer of the film, and Liu Wenwen, a former assistant, was the film supervisor.

The film started shooting in October. After all, it was a project of his own company. Before that, Wang Hao was busy with the release of "Wushuang" and flew overseas, so he had no time.

Now that he had finished his work, he naturally took some time out to visit the crew of Lost on Journey.

Today, the crew of "Lost on Journey" was filming the scene where Ma Chenggong and Tang Ren changed trains. After driving down the airport highway, it didn't take long for the two to arrive at Hankou Railway Station and saw the crew filming in a corner of the railway station.

The shooting site was crowded with people, and many passengers lined up in long queues in the ticket hall. The densely packed figures were enough to make one's scalp tingle just by looking at them.

This grand scene was not performed by the extras in "Lost on Journey", but was a normal daily scene at Hankou Railway Station.

After all, Jiangcheng is the "crossroads of nine provinces", and its railway network is crisscrossed and extended in all directions, so the railway station is naturally crowded with people.

After Wang Hao and Liu Wenwen arrived at the crew, they did not immediately step forward to disturb the filming of the movie, but just stood aside and watched quietly.

"I said I was going crazy! I said... hey hey..."

In the waiting hall, among the crowded crowd, Ma Chenggong, played by Xu Zheng, was wearing a designer suit, pulling a suitcase, and making a phone call in a noisy environment. His performance style was consistent with that in "Fatal Call".

"He actually bought me a hard seat!"

"what?"

"It's too loud. I can't hear you. What did you say?"

"Is it crowded? Oh, my God, do you know what the Spring Festival travel rush is? Let me explain it to you..."

Xu Zheng's voice gradually became louder and his expression was full of impatience. When he raised his mobile phone towards the crowded crowd, director Li Qian, who was sitting in front of the monitor, shouted "click".

"Okay, I passed. Let me save one more!"

As Li Qian spoke, some of the behind-the-scenes workers came forward to help Xu Zheng touch up his makeup, some came forward to communicate and give instructions to the extras, and some went to adjust the props and lighting.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wang Hao and Liu Wenwen walked up to Li Qian together.

"Director Li, this is your first time officially taking charge of a project. How do you feel?"

Wang Hao's laughter reached Li Qian's ears and attracted the girl's attention from the monitor.

"Mr. Wang, you're here!"

Li Qian stood up happily and looked at Wang Hao, seeming very excited.

But after the excitement, she smiled bitterly again.

"Hey, I didn't realize it when I was an assistant director in the crew before, but now that I'm officially in charge of a project, I realize that the position of director is really not easy to sit in."

"Hahaha, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. Newcomers always have their first time.

You've done a great job. I just watched the filming on the spot and it was quite organized."

As Wang Hao spoke, he patted her shoulder very naturally, and at the same time, with force of his palm, he pushed her back into the director's chair.
