Chapter 393 Liu Yifei is going to heaven, "Dying to Survive" starts filming
"Director Zhou."
"Producer Liu."
Now that the casting issue has been finalized, the remaining parts for "Dying to Survive" are basically other preparatory work.
The producer Zhou Qing found was a senior producer in the industry, and Zhou Qing, the reborn person, was in charge of the overall planning.
All progress is progressing in an orderly manner and there are no problems at all.
Zhou Qing reviewed the progress several times during this period and could be said to be completely relieved.
While focusing on the preparations for "Dying to Survive", he also took the opportunity to get busy with other things.
whats the matter?
It's about the wedding.
Zhou Qing and his sister's wedding date has been set for August 8, which is more than three months away.
It’s really close.
Many related matters need to be prepared in advance.
In fact, Zhou Qing had already started working on this matter when he returned to the capital from his hometown.
For example, the wedding venue and the wedding team have been decided early in the morning.
Although Zhou Qing handed over most of the things to the wedding team, he and the girl were still the "parties involved" after all.
Many things require the personal participation of Zhou Qing and his sister.
Just like taking wedding photos.
This is a big deal for everyone, and Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei both take it very seriously.
So on May 5th, Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei boarded the plane to Sanya early in the morning.
A photography team also accompanied us.
That’s right, Sanya, this popular place, is the place Zhou Qing and his sister chose to take their wedding photos.
"Director Zhou, Miss Yifei, in order not to waste everyone's time, let's confirm the next schedule again."
On the plane, the wedding team and Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei were communicating about relevant matters.
Because there are many outdoor scenes, the wedding photos are planned to be taken in three days.
After that, Zhou Qing will return directly to the capital and continue to be busy with the preparations for "Dying to Survive".
Or to be more precise, it is to gather the main creators together to read the script.
Zhou Qing reserved 5 days for this period based on the preparation progress of "Dying to Survive".
In other words, if everything goes well, "Dying to Survive" will officially start filming on May 5.
Zhou Qing plans the specific shooting period to be 2 months.
In other words, the filming will be wrapped up on July 7.
It was exactly one month away from their wedding.
What about during the filming period?
Some things about the wedding can only be left to the wedding team and Liu Yifei.
"Sissi, what do you think?"
After listening to the arrangements made by the wedding team, Zhou Qing had no objection, but just looked at Liu Yifei with an inquiring look.
“I think it’s great!”
The girl said with anticipation.
The relevant plans were formulated based on the intentions of the girl and Zhou Qing. It would be strange if the girl was not satisfied.
"Then let's do this."
Zhou Qing nodded to the wedding team.
"Ms. Yifei, put your head on Director Zhou's shoulder and smile a little happier. Yes, just like that..."
"Director Zhou, hold Miss Yifei's waist. Don't tense your muscles. Relax."
"Yes, hold on..."
Click!
Click!
In the next three days, Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei's footprints were seen in many places in Sanya.
The professional photographer captured that beautiful moment of the two.
"It's too hasty this time, Zhou Qing, I'll come back someday to have a good look around."
Before leaving, the girl said to Zhou Qing with a lingering feeling.
No wonder it is a tourist destination, the scenery of this place is really quite nice.
"No problem, I'll take you wherever you want to go."
Zhou Qing agreed without thinking.
"That's what you said. There are many places I want to go."
The girl leaned her head on Zhou Qing's shoulder, enjoying the warm sea breeze.
"Even if you want to go to heaven, I will take you there."
Zhou Qing stroked the girl's long hair.
"Hate it, you're the one who's going to heaven."
The girl reached out and patted Zhou Qing's strong chest, with an excited smile on her face.
"Notify everyone to join the group tomorrow!"
After returning to Beijing, Zhou Qing had another round of communication with producer Liu.
After making sure that everything was correct, all the main creators of "Dying to Survive" were gathered together according to the original plan.
Carry out corresponding script reading work.
"We can see that Cheng Yong's initial purpose was very simple, which was to make money."
"He didn't even plan to touch generic drugs because Cheng Yong knew it was illegal and was afraid of being caught."
"But under the pressure of life, Cheng Yong chose to take the risk. He didn't sell generic drugs. He couldn't pay his father's medical expenses, and he couldn't even pay the rent."
The so-called reading in a circle is actually still based on those three methods.
Explain the script and character creation to the main actors, and lead everyone to get into the roles more deeply.
After that, there was the formal reading of the script and the actors got to know each other.
In addition, all the actors in "Dying to Survive" are experienced and powerful, so five days is more than enough.
"Director Zhou, I think I've had enough rest."
On the fourth day of the reading, Wu Jing, who had rested for a month and a half, could no longer hold back.
He appeared in front of Zhou Qing with high spirits.
It’s time to tell the story of the special forces soldier that has been kept in my heart.
"You finally can't hold it anymore? I was wondering how long you'd hold it in."
Zhou Qing smiled, and a hint of anticipation flashed across his face.
Is a rare series of films in the entire history of Chinese entertainment about to be born?
In fact, even if you don’t watch the super-cheated "Wolf Warrior 2", just talking about "Wolf Warrior 1", it is also a big hit.
Not to mention, the current script of "Wolf Warrior 1" was written after Zhou Qing's review.
The quality is much higher than the original "Wolf Warrior 1".
Zhou Qing believes that the reputation and box office of Wolf Warrior 1 will hopefully surpass the original.
"But Director Zhou, you've read the script of Wolf Warrior. You should know that this movie is not cheap, right?"
Wu Jing and Zhou Qing had a brief chat and mentioned this point.
Although there is no detailed budget yet, according to Wu Jing's initial estimate, it will cost at least 80 million to complete.
This is considered a high budget among the many films released by Zhou Qing Pictures.
"Don't worry about the budget. Just go for it."
Zhou Qing waved his hands, looking like he didn't care at all.
As a reborn person, Zhou Qing knew that the budget of "Wolf Warrior 1" was 1200 million US dollars, which is equivalent to million.
For Zhou Qing Pictures today, it means nothing.
Compared with the box office of "Wolf Warrior 1" which amounted to more than 5 million RMB, it is nothing.
"With your words, Director Zhou, I feel relieved!"
Wu was overjoyed and felt his whole body was filled with strength.
With full enthusiasm, he threw himself into the preparation work for Wolf Warrior.
Zhou Qing immediately instructed his assistant to submit "Wolf Warrior" for filing.
But Zhou Qing couldn't take care of other things.
He is still busy with the "Dying to Survive" project.
"Okay, the reading is over. Let's have dinner together tonight, and we will officially start filming tomorrow!"
The last day of reading ended quickly, and Zhou Qing prepared a grand dinner as usual.
Huang Bo, Tan Zhuo and other main creators gathered together to toast each other, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Especially Tan Zhuo, Zhang Yu, Wang Chuanjun and others, each of them was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
It is no exaggeration to say that "Dying to Survive" is definitely the most important work in their career!
It is a work that is enough to change their lives.
So these people are extremely excited, excited and looking forward to the start of filming of "Dying to Survive".
If we hadn't started the machine soon, drinking would probably cause trouble, so everyone would have to drink to their heart's content.
"Director Zhou, 'Dying to Survive' is your first work after returning to Chinese entertainment after three years. Why did you choose to shoot such a story?"
The next day, "Dying to Survive" officially started filming.
This is Zhou Qing’s first work after he won Oscar, so it naturally has all the pomp and ceremony it deserves.
Zhou Qing held a grand launch conference specifically for it, which was grand and luxurious.
Jiulang, Sixth Princess, Sougu, and so on.
Basically all the well-known domestic media were there, without exception.
Who said that the buffs on "Dying to Survive" are really stacked up.
Director Zhou's first work after he became a legend, adapted from the Cheng Yong incident, and written by Princess of China Film, all of which are big hits and highlights.
It would be strange if the media were not active.
As for the team of "Dying to Survive", the director Zhou Qing naturally became the subject of intensive interviews by various media.
"In fact, I was not planning to shoot this movie at the beginning, but another movie, and I had only written half of the script."
"But while I was writing, Han Jianuo found me and told me she had written a script and asked me to take a look at it. I didn't really take it seriously at the time."
"But after reading it, I was deeply moved by the script. I was moved by the story and couldn't help myself."
"I decided on the spot that this would be my new film."
Zhou Qing exaggerated the story of Han Jianu's visit in front of the media.
It can also be considered as helping Han Jianuo to increase her presence.
Most people may not know who Han Jianuo is, but the media at the scene knew it very well and they all listened with great interest.
No one expected that there was such a story behind "Dying to Survive".
"So Director Zhou, what kind of movie did you decide to make before you were attracted by the script of 'Dying to Survive'?"
The media also asked about this matter.
"In fact, what I originally planned to shoot was a movie adapted from the novel Ghost Blows Out the Light."
"But when I saw the script for Dying to Survive, I decided to put the movie adaptation aside for now."
Zhou Qing had nothing to hide about this and told the truth.
"Director Zhou, "Dying to Survive" is based on the true story of Cheng Yong. What do you think of what Cheng Yong did?"
"I am a director. All my expressions will be presented through movies. You will know when you go to the theater to watch the movie."
"Director Zhou, why didn't you choose Liu Yifei as the heroine of Dying to Survive? Aren't you afraid that she'll be angry?"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene. The reporter from Jiulang Entertainment is quite humorous and good at creating an atmosphere.
"I said many years ago that my criteria for choosing actors are actually very simple. I just look at whether the actor is suitable or not."
"Compared to Yifei, Tan Zhuo is undoubtedly more suitable, so I asked Tan Zhuo to play the role."
When Zhou Qing said this, he also took the initiative to cue Tan Zhuo.
Otherwise, people like Tan Zhuo and Zhang Yu who are not well-known would become mere background figures.
"Director Zhou Qing returns to Chinese entertainment industry to start filming of "Dying to Survive". Director Zhou shares the reasons for filming "Dying to Survive" on the spot."
“Exclusive insider information: Director Zhou Qing was planning to remake Ghost Blows Out the Light before filming Dying to Survive.”
"Dying to Survive has officially started filming, with director Zhou Qing and Huang Bo teaming up again."
The related reports quickly spread out, instantly hyping up the popularity of "Dying to Survive".
The public's expectations for the film "Dying to Survive" were also aroused at the first opportunity.
Directed by Director Zhou and starring Huang Bo, this team is really reliable.
Everyone believes that "Dying to Survive" is definitely a good movie worth looking forward to.
After all, Director Zhou has never disappointed anyone.
"What a shame, what a shame, 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' was almost filmed by Director Zhou."
"Don't give up, Director Zhou, don't give up on "Ghost Blows Out the Light"!"
"Why are you still filming 'Dying to Survive'? It's not too late to mend your ways now!"
The only ones who were hurt were the vast number of fans of "Ghost Blows Out the Light".
The IP concept has been completely hyped up these days, and countless best-selling novels have been adapted into film and television works.
But as one of the top super IPs, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" has not made any movement yet!
This made all the fans of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" very anxious.
But now that I know that Director Zhou almost adapted "Ghost Blows Out the Light", how can I stay calm?
Excited, thrilled, and sighing!
The mood is so complicated.
But overall, everyone was very happy.
Although Director Zhou postponed the adaptation of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" because of "Dying to Survive", does that mean he can start filming "Ghost Blows Out the Light" after finishing filming "Dying to Survive"?
Great news! This is really something worth celebrating!
Fans of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" were all excited.
"Attention all units!"
"Clear the venue!"
On the set of "Dying to Survive", Zhou Qing has already started serious filming.
The first shot is the scene where Cheng Yong is being urged to pay rent.
With Huang Bo's acting skills, it is a piece of cake for him to handle such a scene.
"start!"
As the clapperboard sounded, Huang Bo got into the game in an instant.
But I saw that he was just leaning lazily on the backrest, with messy hair, as if he had not woken up yet.
He was absentmindedly clicking the mouse, playing the Minesweeper game.
In fact, Cheng Yong didn’t really like playing this game; he just used it to kill time.
I have to say that Huang Bo's acting skills are indeed excellent, and he perfectly showed Cheng Yong's state.
"Old Cheng! The landlord called me again, and I told him you didn't open the door."
A voice was heard and the owner of the shop next door pushed the door and walked in.
This person is also a veteran actor, not very famous, but his acting skills are superb.
He acted out Cheng Yong's expression of impatience and disappointment to perfection.
"Thank you."
Huang Bo turned his head away from the monitor and thanked his kind neighbor.
"You'd better pay the rent quickly."
The other party persuaded Cheng Yong from the bottom of his heart.
I'm really disgusted by Cheng Yong. Why does he call me every time to ask for the rent?
"I can't pay. I don't have the money, and the products don't sell well."
Huang Bo looked as if it was a matter of course.
"Crack!"
"Pass!" (End of chapter)
