978 Meeting (2/3)
It was indeed Shi Shi who Liu Qianqian made an appointment with...
Although Liu Qianqian has never sent him a text message, she is still very concerned about his news.
She checked the latest news about Shen Changlin on the Internet. He is filming "My Motherland and Me", a gift film...
This kind of gift film has nothing to do with her, after all, she is an American!
The main purpose of taking over the filming of Mulan is to return to Hollywood...
This was her agent's idea...
It’s really an inexplicable career plan. Liu Qianqian’s market is in China!
What's the use of breaking into Hollywood?
Didn’t you realize that Jackie Chan, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi and Chen Chong have all returned to China to develop their careers?
Can Liu Qianqian stay in Hollywood?
Times have long since changed!
During the 1990s and 2000s, Chinese movie stars who failed to make a splash in Hollywood were not considered true superstars.
But now, who cares about the so-called invitation from Los Angeles?
Spend?
What’s the point of playing a supporting role in a big European and American production?
Remuneration?
Can Hollywood earn 2.08 million a day?
You don’t need to specifically enter Hollywood to get endorsements and appearance fee increases...
The mainland market is big enough!
Really, no vision...
Coming back, Liu Qianqian actually wanted to ease her relationship with Shen Changlin, but for more than half a year, Shen Changlin hadn't sent a single message...
Just play a curveball to save the country - contact Shi Shi first, and then test...
…
Shi Shi arrived in New Zealand and she was going to go directly to the filming location of "Mulan"...
In fact, Sissi told her that the crew of "Mulan" would not allow outsiders to enter!
She doesn’t believe in evil, and maybe she feels that she is somewhat famous in the United States...
Participated in "Rampage"!
Then I was stopped by the security guard at the entrance...
Assistant Xiaoxia had no choice but to call Liu Qianqian bitterly. Aunt Liu came to pick her up: "This is our friend..."
After taking out their IDs, the security guard let them in.
Aunt Liu proudly introduced: ""Mulan" has more than a thousand staff members, coming from more than 50 countries and regions around the world. The management of the crew is very...industrial, and no one is allowed in without documents!"
"...Then this strategy should indeed be implemented..."
"You're here to shoot the battle scene today!"
"real?"
The executive followed Aunt Liu into the set very excitedly...
Then, she was even more surprised.
It’s not that I’m surprised by the huge crew, but that there are only so many people?
Isn't it a war movie?
Are you even reluctant to gather people?
The most important thing in a war movie is to show the grand battle scenes. Not to mention thousands of cavalry, at least thousands of hundreds of people are required to charge?
Momentum, do you understand, momentum!
Anyway, Shi Shi feels that the war scenes in "Mulan" are not even comparable to TVB's TV series "Qin Qin Ji"...
After all, "Looking for Qin" has quite a few large-scale war scenes!
But then Shi Shi thought about it, maybe he would use special effects to repair some people in the later stage...
Just like the Battle of the Five Armies in "The Hobbit", the war scenes are shocking!
Well, she thought too much. Nikki Carona, the director of "Mulan", is a real-shooting fanatic. She especially likes to show a small number of people. If other directors don't want to do special effects because they have a small number of people, they will use less distant views and repeatedly enter the scene.
There are thousands of people shooting at the scene, but she especially likes a big panoramic view to tell you that there are only a few hundred people...
Speaking of the director's technical level alone, it is really not comparable to Li Rengang. Li Rengang used 800 extras in "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", asked the extras to change two sets of costumes, and then shot a war scene that is no less than that of "Three Kingdoms"!
In fact, "Mulan" has a reference, and the reference is "Captain Marvel"...
See for yourself. In the beginning of "Captain Marvel", the super fighter test pilot Carol comes into contact with the Infinity Stones and possesses mysterious and powerful power;
At the beginning of "Mulan", Mulan possesses the mysterious and powerful power of Qi;
Danvers forgot his identity and his power was weakened; Hua Mulan hid her identity and her power was also weakened...
Danvers remembered who he was, changed his name, and his strength was greatly enhanced;
Hua Mulan confessed who she was and her power was greatly enhanced...
Captain Marvel defeated the Supreme Mind and saved the earth;
Mulan defeated the invader leader and saved the country...
None of them fell in love with the men in the film, and none of them relied on the strength of the men in the film!
As for where the mysterious power comes from, I don’t know...
The organization has appointed you to be the savior, no need to talk nonsense!
Although Shi Shi has not seen the finished film, but...from the perspective of the filming of the movie, the impression is average...
Hollywood blockbuster, that's it?
Of course, in front of Aunt Liu, she would not say anything, and even looked 'surprised' and 'envious'...
…
"Shi Shi!"
After the shooting, Aunt Liu took Shi Shi to find Sissi who had finished changing her clothes, and the latter rushed over...
"Mulan the heroine!"
"...Stop talking about this, how did you get here?"
Shi Shi didn't know why: "Let's take a plane..."
"You flew here directly from the set of "My Motherland and Me", right?"
"...I only made a cameo appearance in that movie, and it was filmed in ten minutes," Shi Shi changed the subject: "I just watched you play, you're so handsome!"
"...Haha, let's go and eat!"
"Um…"
The two of them were walking and chatting, with Aunt Liu behind, feeling a little proud - Xiao Liu Qianxi is Xiao Liu Qianqian, why didn't you be chosen in "Mulan"? Don't you know?
The four of them found a Chinese restaurant and sat down to have something to eat. Then Shi Shi's cell phone rang. She took it out and looked at it: "I'll answer the phone!"
Then she got up and walked to a place with few people. You could vaguely hear her saying, 'I'm not a child, I brought Xiaoxia with me, and I'm just here to play for two days...', 'It's okay, I'll go back the day after tomorrow!'
Returning to the dining table, Aunt Liu smiled and asked: "Boyfriend?"
Shi Shi nodded: "Yes... we originally agreed to wait until he finished filming and go to Antarctica to see penguins together..."
"Watching penguins?"
"Yes, I just have time..."
"Do you have time?" Sissi was confused: "Didn't he just come here in August? The filming has already been completed?"
Aunt Liu interjected: "How is that possible? The filming of the plot that was shot in Australia has been completed!"
Shi Shi explained: "The filming is over..."
"The filming was completed in less than a month?"
""My Motherland and Me" is a platter movie, with 7 directors, each responsible for a small section..."
"Seven directors? Which seven?"
"Ah Mou, Chang Lin, Ning Hao, Guo Fan, Yang Qing, Xue Xiaolu and Lu Yang..."
"...Amou also took the photo?"
"Yes!"
"You are so amazing. You have networked with some of the most powerful directors in China!"
Shi Shi shook his head: "The main thing is to present a gift to Motherland. They said that although it is just a platter, it is our duty to celebrate Motherland's birthday!"
While we were chatting, the waiter served the food...
The three of them shut up and waited for him to leave. Aunt Liu asked Shi Shi to eat: "Eat, this Chinese restaurant tastes pretty good..."
"Hmm..." Shi Shi took a quick bite, and then asked: "Sissi, how long will you continue to shoot here?"
"I heard that the filming will last until December..."
Chapter completed!
