Three major events have happened in the film industry in the past two years.

One is the adoption of the Film Management Regulations, which contains a crucial provision:

The state encourages enterprises, institutions, other social organizations and individuals to participate in the production of films in the form of funding and investment.

This means that making movies is no longer the prerogative of certain people.

The era of state-owned studios has officially come to an end on paper.

Another one is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" winning an Oscar.

It became the first film in the history of Chinese-language films to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Ang Lee has completely become a god in the Chinese film industry and is unparalleled in the limelight.

But you know, when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released in mainland China, the audience didn't like the film.

It's not like a Chinese martial arts film, but more like a martial arts film for foreigners.

Therefore, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" only had a box office of 15 million in the mainland.

However, it was later released in North America and the box office exceeded 100 million US dollars, becoming the first foreign language film in the history of American films to exceed 100 million US dollars in box office.

Riding on the success of the Oscars, the film finally grossed a total box office of US$205 million worldwide.

The third one is Zhang Yimou. Inspired by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Yimou made "Hero".

In fact, Zhang Yimou had wanted to make a martial arts film for a long time, but he could not find a script on the market that suited his liking, so in the end he had to write an original script himself.

Especially after October 2002, the promotion and hype of "Hero" was everywhere.

And Cheng Yuan knew that "Hero" would be released during the Lunar New Year this year.

Returning to the crew of "Dragon", everyone is looking forward to it seriously.

Big Beard is coming, bringing a group of reporters to visit the class.

At this time, Zhang Jizhong is undoubtedly the golden signature of domestic TV dramas, especially martial arts dramas.

His resume does not need to be introduced too much. The 1990s and 2000s were the time when Zhang Jifeng was at his peak.

"Dragon" has been attracting media attention since it started filming, but the filming has been intense and no extra information has been released.

But after more than two months of filming, Zhang Jizhong felt that the time was almost here, so he brought reporters to visit the studio for publicity.

"We have spent tens of millions of dollars to build Tian Long Ba Bu Film and Television City in Yongkang and Dali. We are confident that Tian Long Ba Bu will become a benchmark for martial arts dramas."

The bearded man introduced himself to reporters as he walked.

Zhang Jizhong and his group stood on the set and greeted Yu Min: "I'll bring reporters to see how you should shoot, and we'll do interviews during the lunch break."

Yu Min then devoted himself to filming again.

Zhang Jizhong watched with satisfaction. He was not responsible for the specific shooting, but he monitored the daily progress remotely.

"As for the actors, we strive to restore Mr. Jin's description in the original work. You see, Liu Yifei, who plays Wang Yuyan, is 15 years old, and Mu Wanqing is 19 years old. The ages of these actresses are very consistent with the original work.

"The bold casting of new actors is also a feature of our drama."

Zhang Jizhong said while filming on the set.

He was very satisfied at first, but as soon as Tianshan Child Mother appeared, Zhang Jizhong's expression changed. However, because the reporters were present, he did not have an attack.

However, reporters have noticed the dissatisfaction in Zhang Jizhong's tone.

"Ka! Okay, it's over. Everyone has a rest!" Yu Min called a timeout.

"Lao Yu, come here." Zhang Jizhong dismissed the reporter and called Yu Min back to the hotel.

"Who changed the look of the Tianshan Tonglao!" Zhang Jizhong immediately shouted as soon as the door closed.

"Producer, I think Tianshan Tonglao's appearance will have more visual impact. She..."

Before Yu Min could finish speaking, Zhang Jizhong interrupted: "Why don't you report such an important change of style in advance!"

"Production, it's like this..."

But Zhang Jizhong obviously didn't listen to Yu Min's explanation: "Let's take a look at the material taken a few days ago."

Zhang Jizhong wants to see the specific effects before talking about it.

Yu Min took out the previously filmed material and showed it to Zhang Jizhong. It was the scene where Xu Zhu rescued Tong Lao.

Outside the door, a bold reporter had quietly approached and heard the quarrel between Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min in the room.

Of course, the reporter didn't think it was a big deal. When he heard that Yu Min had changed his character's appearance on his own initiative, he immediately felt that today's news was there.

While Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min were watching the materials in the room, the reporters on the set had already started interviewing the actors.

"Zhiying, how did you feel about filming "Dragon"?"

"It's very good. Everyone on the crew is very professional and hard-working. My actor friends are also very nice. Everyone takes care of each other. It's a pleasure to film here."

Chen Hao had no expression on his face, but his eyes were rolled to the sky.

The reporter asked Chen Hao again: "Will it be a challenge to play a unruly and willful girl like Azi? Are you worried that you won't be popular when the feature film comes out?"

"I want to try a character with a strong personality like Azi. As for the worries you mentioned, I don't have to worry about it. The role of Azi is not likely to arouse the love of most viewers, but it is a very challenging role for actors.

"Chen Hao replied with a standard smile.

"Yifei, you have an emotional scene with Xiu Qing and Lin Zhiying in the play. They are so much older than you, do you feel any pressure?"

Lin Zhiying is 13 years older than her, and Xiu Qing is 18 years older than her.

"It's okay," said 15-year-old Liu Yifei, who behaved very maturely and appropriately. "I grew up in the United States. I am more mature in thinking and have a more relaxed attitude. I don't feel any pressure." (The author's original words cannot be found, but this is

mean.)

"Shu Chang, your look is different from the makeup photos released before." The reporter cueed Shu Chang again,

"Does it look good?"

"It looks good. Why do you think of changing your look?"

"A few days ago during the filming, our assistant director said that the original look of the Tianshan Child Grandma was too ugly and would not look good in filming, and the weird appearance would easily arouse the suspicion of the Tianshan Child Grandma's enemies, so he decided to replace me with a normal little girl.

Makeup and hair. My new look was personally designed by our assistant director.”

"Oh, really? Is the assistant director on the set?"

"Here we are," Shu Chang turned around and waved to Cheng Yu'an who was not far away, "Director Cheng, here!"

Our director Cheng was squatting outside eating the crew's box lunch. Today there were chicken drumsticks. He secretly took two more boxes and was dividing the spoils with Qin Ran.

Hearing someone calling him, Cheng Yu'an was a little confused. Was he caught stealing chicken legs?

When he saw that Shu Chang, who was being interviewed, called him over, Cheng Yu'an wiped his mouth and walked forward.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from Xinlang Entertainment. My surname is Wu. Director Cheng looks so young." Reporter Wu didn't ask questions as soon as he came up, but instead started talking.

"Our assistant director was admitted to the directing department at the age of 16, and he is only 20 years old this year." Liu Yifei introduced Liu Yifei as she came from the side with her mother Liu on her arm.

"You are young and have a lot of potential." Reporter Wu complimented.

"Hey, thank you." Cheng Yu'an didn't know what this reporter wanted to do, so he didn't say much.

"I wonder if it would be convenient for Director Cheng to be interviewed?" Reporter Wu asked.

"I'd better forget it." Cheng Yu'an pushed back with self-knowledge.

He is just an assistant director who comes to the set to get familiar with the film and gain experience. At most, he only has a name in the subtitles. He is not even the core creator. He really cannot be interviewed.

"Director Yu Min and Producer Zhang are here. You can interview them. I have other things to do, so I have to leave first." Qin Ranqiu will eat the two boxes of chicken legs if we don't leave.
