Chapter 708 Major Events in April
Liu Yifei changed her clothes and waited for the director's instructions.
Yu Hewei was leaning on the bed and reading.
"Ready. Start."
The lingering music suddenly sounded in the bedroom - Liu Yifei controlled it remotely in the bathroom.
The bathroom door opened, and Liu Yifei, wearing a silk suspender nightgown, slowly walked out of the bathroom.
Yu Hewei removed his eyes from the book and looked at Liu Yifei, wondering what medicine she was selling in her gourd.
Liu Yifei walked slowly to the bed and gently twisted her body to the music.
But the clumsy movements make people laugh.
Yu Hewei couldn't help it and burst into laughter.
"I'm sorry." Yu Hewei quickly apologized.
As soon as he finished speaking, the on-site staff, including Xue Xiaolu, and even Liu Yifei herself laughed.
"Hahahahaha!"
"I'm dead." Liu Yifei shouted, "The fans I accumulated over more than ten years are gone!"
The scene was filled with even more laughter!
The labels on Liu Yifei are so obvious. Even if there are movies like "Tumor King", the most important labels on her are still "Sister Immortal" and "Swordsman".
It's really hard not to laugh when she plays such a clumsy little wife, and she has a bit of a baggage herself.
Liu Yifei's face turned red.
After Xue Xiaolu finished laughing, he organized the crew to reshoot: "Do it again."
"start."
The music started again and Liu Yifei walked out of the bathroom.
As soon as she stood beside the bed, before she started dancing, Liu Yifei burst into laughter: "Ah! No way."
Liu Yifei patted her red face gently: "Seeing Teacher Yu lying there reminded me of the teacher from our family."
Liu Yifei is a person with a very strange smile.
Xue Xiaolu didn't rush her, and it took two days to prepare for this scene.
"Take a break and let the actors adjust to their condition." Xue Xiaolu paused filming.
Liu Yifei was still slowly practicing her moves on the court.
The dance movements in this scene were not deliberately planned, and the director left it to Liu Yifei to perform on her own.
She can dance, but it is difficult for Liu Yifei to achieve that rawness and comedy.
Rest for ten minutes and restart.
Until the end of work today, this scene has not been completed. The biggest problem lies in the actors' laughter.
Either Liu Yifei was laughing or Yu Hewei was laughing. Xue Xiaolu asked the two of them to "shoot after they have laughed enough."
But after laughing enough, he came back to perform again. When Liu Yifei cried out "Husband~" sweetly, Yu Hewei still lay on the bed laughing like crazy.
After the show, Liu Yifei returned to the hotel and wanted to tell her husband about the interesting things about today's filming, but when she called her, it was Cheng Yu'an's assistant who answered the phone and told her: "We are going to have a night scene today, so we will probably have to stay up late."
"Okay, prepare some fruit for him tomorrow morning, staying up late will hurt your health." Liu Yifei told Xiao Qi to take good care of Cheng Yu'an.
"I will, don't worry."
…………
Cheng Yu'an and Liu Yifei were busy on the set, and to the outside world, the May Day schedule started.
In this year's May 1st period, several major companies have collectively skipped films in a tacit agreement, leaving only China Film's "Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty" to support the brand of domestic films.
However, the Hollywood blockbuster "The Jungle Book" released in the middle of the month was extremely brave.
This film is the first in a series of "classic remakes" from a major film company - a major film company doesn't have that many series to support the scene, so it can only try to find profits from remakes of classic films.
Released simultaneously in China and the United States.
In North America, it grossed US$32.41 million on its first day, easily topping the box office list that day.
"The Jungle Book" dominates the world's major media and social networks with the title of "the most powerful special effects blockbuster". The scenes and animals produced by computer special effects are so lifelike that the audience expressed shock.
The cumulative domestic box office on the first day exceeded 80 million, and the following two days both exceeded 100 million. The box office in the three days of the first weekend reached 310 million, firmly ranking first.
In North America, the first weekend box office of "The Jungle Book" exceeded US$103.6 million, becoming the best opening among Disney's many animated adaptations.
And when domestic audiences learned that one of the special effects in this movie was produced by Tiangong Yicai, they were even more shocked: "Can domestic special effects already achieve this level?!"
Some knowledgeable people also explained this matter: "Most of the special effects in the movie were completed by the Hollywood company. The most outstanding thing about the film was learning animal CG and hair production on the set."
Not shabby either!
"The Jungle Book" impressed domestic audiences with its realistic special effects.
There are three major problems in film shooting: animals, children, water and fire.
This movie takes it all.
Being able to participate in Tiangong Yicai and learn how to make it is also a very valuable opportunity.
Tian Gong Yi Cai does not live alone. According to the Sino-US Film Memorandum, there is a communication and learning mechanism between the two countries on film production technology.
As the number one special effects company in China, Tiangong Yicai plays a very important role in this mechanism.
The production of "The Jungle Book" not only featured brilliant workmanship, but Cheng Yu'an also packed up some people from other domestic special effects companies and put them on the crew to study.
This is what the big boss likes about Cheng Yu'an remotely. He is really doing what he can for this industry.
Cheng Yu'an doesn't have a particularly important family. If you have money, everyone can make it, and if you have good skills, everyone can learn together.
He has used his influence in Hollywood to do a lot for the industrialization of domestic films.
Learning from the barbarians and developing skills to control the barbarians is the right thing to do.
And released together with "The Jungle Book" is the batch film "The Last Hot Girl" which was purchased remotely from Japan.
This movie is really good to watch - the box office champion of Japanese live-action movies.
But it encountered serious acclimatization in the country.
The results were not very good, only 22 million in four days, but compared to the 5 million spent on remote purchase, the movie has already made money.
By the end of the month, the domestic box office of "The Jungle Book" had exceeded 700 million.
But also thanks to the early release of "The Jungle Book", the box office harvest is almost complete.
This makes Xiao Ming very confident in "Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty".
All the companies in the May 1st stage were collectively absent, and they were left to perform alone. "Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty" was also endorsed by Wang Sunjing - he is the film's producer, supervisor and art director, and the screenwriter is Zou Jingzhi, one of the country's leading veterans.
I have no reason to lose!
At the premiere of the film, Director of the Film Bureau Zhang Hongsen delivered a carefully prepared premiere speech and quoted a classic quote written by Lu Xun in 1934: "Since ancient times, we have people who work hard and work hard.
Those who pray for the people and those who sacrifice their lives to seek the Dharma are the pillars of China."
After listening to this speech, Huang Xiaoming said: "I was in the audience, and my eyes suddenly filled with tears. I remembered that the director found me at that time, and the director's mind and persistence moved me. It was also the spirit of Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty that moved me.
Then he said very boldly: "I feel that I have the responsibility and obligation to build up the Chinese people's spine."
Good guy, you dare to say this word out loud. It seems that Xiao Ming is really confident!
If we could go back two years ago, Cheng Yu'an, as a good friend, would definitely advise Xiao Ming: "Run!"
Cheng Yu'an doesn't care about this. What he cares about is another major event in the industry, which has nothing to do with the specific film.
On the 28th, Comcast officially announced that its NBC-Universal Group plans to acquire DreamWorks Animation for US$3.8 billion, with a valuation of US$41 per share.
Cheng Yuan was so happy!
Chapter completed!
