Chapter 161: May, the Best-Selling Imported Film

The makeup artist is applying makeup to Hu Ge.

Silvery short hair, paired with evil makeup.

The entire face is made of gold powder and covered with dark golden scales. The facial features are different darker colors, just like poisonous animals in nature.

This is the shape of the lizard spirit.

"This is also a tragic character, Lao Hu, you have to be careful."

"no problem."

The few actors involved in martial arts scenes are all experienced.

The next scene is the part where the lizard spirit is chased after killing someone and has a street fight.

Lin Nan adjusted the shooting plan and gave Zhou Xun two days off. The latter needed to attend the premiere of a movie starring her.

"The props team checked the wires. After a while, Hu Ge leaned on this wall and the roof next to it, and was maneuvering around. For this scene, I chose this area to shoot..."

"Prepare, act!"

Three cameras were started at the same time, long shots, close shots, and facial close-ups.

The lizard spirit was chased and besieged by a group of soldiers, and the two parties fought.

Hu Ge has done a lot of shooting in ancient costumes, and he is very good at hanging wires, with almost no flaws.

…

On the other side, Zhou Xun appeared in Shanghai to attend the premiere of "Mingming" and was surrounded by reporters.

She is the heroine of this suspenseful romance film, but many reporters are asking about "Painted Skin" which is currently being filmed.

"Director Lin gave me two days off, and during this time I was filming other people's scenes.

The life of the crew is very interesting. Director Lin is a young man like us. He can fight, make trouble and joke, which is very comfortable. I also hope that we can continue to cooperate in the future..."

When leaving the crew, Zhou Xun told Lin Nan about this matter. "Painted Skin" would inevitably be used to attract topics. The latter also agreed, but he couldn't say too much.

Compared with the number of actors in China, there are really too few big-budget movies at present, and each one is watched by countless people.

Lin Nan is chatting with everyone at the moment. In the morning, he filmed the scenes between Jiao Enjun and Shu Chang. The scenes were mostly literary, so it was a bit more relaxed.

Today, the Radio and Television issued a document requiring strict restrictions on filming activities for film and television dramas in the core areas of various natural scenic spots and protected areas.

Jiuzhaigou and other places were highlighted.

Several leading actors are discussing this matter, and it is estimated that they can only restrict the small crew.

I heard that Fan Bingbing and Zhao Yanzi were fighting.

At the College Student Film Festival, the Most Favorite Actress Award was rumored to have been won by paying off a voting company.

"Female artists are much more exciting than male actors when they think about it, and they even act like monsters."

Mei Ting joked that her classmate was a master in this area.

Several people asked Mei Ting about some gossip about being in the drama, and the latter became silent again, "We can't talk about the family scandal as long as it's not publicized."

The Mainland is currently holding the Drama Centenary Hall of Fame selection.

Feng Yuanzhuo's "bombarding celebrity drama incident" was also very popular. The media caused a controversy with Ge You's "Looking West to Chang'an", which was a hot topic on the Internet.

"I can tell you this. Teacher Feng is probably not that kind of person. He will never specifically point out certain actors and dramas. At most, he will just discuss the matter.

But it makes sense. There are many actors who can't act in dramas and have to pretend, which is really disgusting. "

Lin Nan remembered something and asked: "I heard that there are many big-name stars working in the National Theater or People's Art Theater, but they have hardly ever gone to work or participated in a performance?"

Everyone looked at Lin Nan.

"Director Lin, if your words spread, you will offend a group of people, haha."

Many Chinese operas have entered the theater. Lin Nan can guess the answer by looking at Mei Ting's meaning.

The next day, the crew continued filming scenes between Jiao Enjun and Shu Chang.

May Day is coming soon, and domestic film and television practitioners are not in a good mood.

Because a giant crocodile from the deep sea was introduced in "Spider-Man 3".

It will be released on May Day.

Faced with the production cost of this movie, which is as high as 150 million pounds, many domestic films cannot muster the slightest fighting spirit.

The industry has been able to predict the situation of its general killing.

…

"Brother Jiao, when you act, be more restrained. The look that you designed specifically for you is gray-headed and old-fashioned.

In this film, you are a loser, losing your men and your childhood sweetheart..." Lin Nan warned.

Jiao Enjun nodded to express receipt. The makeup artist continued busy with her work.

Liu Yifei was holding a camera and taking pictures of Liu's mother.

The crew didn't shoot much today, just a few scenes, including scenes with Queen Mother Liu Xiaoli.

"Your mother and I have often been on stage before, how could it be bad?"

Liu Xiaoli took the camera from her daughter and recalled it.

"It's not bad, elegant and dignified." Liu Yifei flattered with a smile.

"What was that man at Lions Gate talking to you today?"

"Paul asked me about the "Painted Skin" that Lin Nan was filming, and I told him the story of the script.

In the end, he felt that it was not the type that North American audiences liked, so he stopped talking. "

"Well, he takes good care of us." Liu Xiaoli muttered softly.

The crew started filming these days, and Liu Xiaoli could clearly notice the difference.

It is normal for a director to lose his temper when filming. Li Bingbing was treated coldly several times, and those foreign children were also scolded.

But when it comes to his daughter, the director will be much more friendly, and people from Lionsgate will be watching every time.

As for the reason, she knew it in her heart.

"A few minutes less on the phone every night. Directors need down time more than actors."

After Liu Xiaoli finished speaking, she walked away, leaving Liu Yifei alone with a red face.

Zhou Xun hurried back to the crew.

"I guess my movie is going to fail."

"Why do you say that?" Huang Xiaoming asked.

"Look at the schedule for May. Spider-Man 3 on the first day, Dead or Alive in the middle of the month, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the end of the month."

Lin Nan explained for Zhou Xun.

"Now everyone in the industry is talking about this. From the first half of this year to now, China Film's schedule is simply to kill all its own people."

The people from China Film in the Painted Skin crew were also sitting on the side, and now they looked constipated.

"This is still good, it may be more difficult in the future.

It's because the issue of imported films has been brought to the WTO, so the schedule in the first half of the year is like this..."

The people from China Film finally said the reason.

Mei Ting was pulling a newspaper and gossiping about the news of his classmates.

"Yuan Quan and Xia Yu's Seven-Year Itch".

This title is very attractive.

"I am a recent divorcee, so I am not qualified to speak, but I still have to say that this guy is such a jerk.

Filming "A Romance" is really a romantic encounter? During the conflict, it was seamlessly connected?"

Meiting scolded her classmate like a big sister.

Not many people could respond to this. Jiao Enjun and Zhou Xun could respond, but it would also touch their own scars.

The other people had no right to speak.

On May 1st, Lin Nan gave the crew a holiday, and a group of people went to see "Spider-Man 3".

For the production cost, they had to go and see it. The crew spent money to buy several theaters as a benefit for the staff.

"May, just call it the month of imported films."

Almost no one bought tickets for the movies released at the end of April, all for "Spider-Man 3". The other domestic movies can also be described as bleak.

Facts have proved that most audiences like popcorn movies. Don't tell them about art or instill ideas. They just want to watch a movie happily.

"How much is the box office?"

Everyone is very concerned about this issue.

There is someone from China Film Group in the crew, so it is very convenient to get information.

"The first day's box office was just over 15 million, and this is because of the lack of copies and limited scheduling. Otherwise, it would be better."

"The record of imported films has been broken! According to this first-day box office, it should have no rivals before the release of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." Lin Nan estimated.

In the film and television industry in May, imported films are the only ones that stand out.

The filming of "Painted Skin" is about to be halfway through.

Chen Kaige gave a lecture on "Mei Lanfang" in the island country, and it is said that every session was full.

The first thing after returning was to announce the official start of "Mei Lanfang".

Zhang Ziyi plays Meng Xiaodong.

"Actually, I think I am also quite suitable for this role, anyway, it's all dubbing." Zhou Xun joked.

"Give you a chance to reorganize your language." Lin Nan laughed.

"Well, I still like the atmosphere of our crew, haha."

Xijie sent an email, hoping that Lin Nan could attend this year's Busan Film Festival, and "New World" will definitely be shortlisted.

Lin Nan only replied that he would consider it.

He was not the director of "New World", and the awards of this film festival were different from those of other film festivals.

If he went, he would be given an honorary award at most, which was purely a show of support, and the gains would not outweigh the losses.

"Crazy Racing" announced the casting lineup, including the crew and production.

Lin Nan is one of the producers. Only a few people knew about it before, but now everyone in the circle knows it.

"Young and rich, successful in career. Director Lin, do you still need a girlfriend?"

Zhou Xun is really familiar with the crew, and his words are getting more and more out of tune now.

"What if you need one, what if you don't need one?" Huang Xiaoming asked.

Zhou Xun looked at the other party and said with a sly smile: "If you need one, you can consider me. If you don't need one, you can also consider me, haha..."

"No wonder everyone calls you Brother Xun, how can you look like a woman?"

Everyone laughed and joked, knowing that Zhou Xun was joking and having fun.

Spider-Man 3 began to reap box office revenue like crazy. From the 2nd, the daily data was over 10 million, breaking several records of imported films in succession.

The box office of the first seven days of the week directly reached 80 million.

Many film companies in the industry began to report to the higher authorities, calling for "protection of domestic films".

The filming of Painted Skin was very smooth, and half of it was completed in a blink of an eye. Many supporting roles were "offline" one after another.

Liu Yan and Xie Nan left the crew more than half a month ago.

Today is the day when the role of Gao Xiang is finished.

"Teacher Jin Song, congratulations on the completion."

"Teacher Jin Song, congratulations on the completion, haha."

"Thank you Director Lin for giving me this role. I have been very happy with everyone during the filming for more than a month.

We must cooperate again if we have the opportunity in the future. I will leave first. I still have to catch a plane. Goodbye everyone..."

A group of people waved their hands and watched Jin Song get on the car and leave.

It can be regarded as an additional update.
