Chapter 700: Start up!

Only children like to celebrate the New Year, and adults don’t have any special feelings about the Chinese New Year.

The couple took their children and Liu Xiaoli back to Jiangcheng. Liu Yifei's grandma hugged Qiqi and screamed lustfully. She liked it very much.

Liu Yifei's grandmother insisted on keeping the family until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year before releasing them.

Cheng Yu'an and Liu Yifei didn't even return home and flew directly from Jiangcheng to Qingdao in a hurry.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, the crew of "The Wandering Earth" gathered for final debugging and preparation, and on the 14th day of the month, filming officially started.

Liu Yifei plays Liu Peiqiang's wife. There are only two scenes. She has to finish filming her scene first so she can go back.

Cheng Yu'an was fiddling with the camera that had just been transferred back from the crew of "Along with the Gods" and making final adjustments.

While playing with the camera, I talked to Liu Yifei about how awesome this camera was: "One of the most advanced cameras in the world costs 4 million U.S. dollars, and these six precious cameras cost more than 100 million dollars. Look at these lines.

, look at this lens, tsk, perfect industrial design.”

An excellent director and photographer have no resistance to this kind of machine.

In the end, Liu Yifei only said one sentence: "Silly, stupid, and rude."

"you……"

"No wonder Ranqiu works out like crazy just to be able to carry this guy."

Even if there is a track, some shots require the photographer to carry the camera and follow the actors. This thing weighs more than 80 kilograms. If you are not fit, you can't even think about carrying it.

As the director of photography, Qin Ranqiu will follow the team throughout the whole process. He will shoot about 1/3 of the shots, and the other shots will be shot by photographers in his own team.

Qin Ranqiu will check the materials with Cheng Yuan to ensure the quality of the shots.

The gathering of the cast of "The Wandering Earth" attracted the attention of the national media.

The film's launch press conference was held on Thursday. Hundreds of domestic media gathered in Qingdao, including reporters from People's Daily Online and Xinhuanet.

"Actually, the concept design and early special effects have been in progress since 2014," said Cheng Yu'an, sitting in the middle with his actors on both sides. "This movie has been in preparation for two years, and now it has been successfully launched. I am very excited."

"The actors have worked very hard in training, and I am very grateful for their efforts." Cheng Yu'an first thanked the actors for their cooperation.

"I am also very grateful to all the staff of Oriental Film Capital for their cooperation. Without them, we would not have been able to find such a good shooting location."

The launch conference was not a big event, and the creators only answered a few questions.

For individual interviews after the press conference, the reporter met with Wu Jing, Cheng Yuan and Liu Yifei.

"What role does Yifei play in it?" There are not many female characters in "The Wandering Earth". The first female character is Zhao Jinmai, the second female character is Nini. Liu Yifei doesn't even have a separate character poster, and there is no official poster for the movie.

There was no sign of her, and the reporter was very curious.

Liu Yifei laughed and said: "I play Brother Jing's wife."

"Are there many scenes?"

"You have to ask the director about this." After Liu Yifei finished speaking, she looked at Cheng Yu'an.

Cheng Yu'an replied: "Yifei is just here to help with two scenes, and she doesn't have much of a role."

Liu Yifei took the opportunity to finish off the attack: "As far as I know, he looked for Brother Jing first, and he looked for me last."

Cheng Yu'an did not deny it: "I forgot about this role at the time, so I asked her to play it."

Then he introduced Wu Jing playfully: "This is my boyfriend."

Wu Jing's eyes widened at the side, could this be broadcast?

"Haha, just kidding." Cheng Yu'an said with a smile, "This is my wife." Finally, Liu Yifei was introduced.

After the interview, everyone returned to work on the crew. In fact, filming cannot start immediately after the press conference. This press conference is mainly to inform the outside world of the latest news about the film.

"The latest news from our station. After nearly two years of preparation, the new film "The Wandering Earth", directed by Cheng Yu'an, was officially launched today at Qingdao Oriental Film Capital. The film tells... The investment in the film exceeded 500 million, making it the highest-invested domestic film in recent years."

"When "The Wandering Earth" started filming, Cheng Yu'an frankly expressed his nervousness, and the actors expressed that they had been looking forward to it for a long time."

With the official announcement of the production of "The Wandering Earth", individual posters for each character in the film have also been exposed.

14-year-old Zhao Jinmai officially appeared in front of the media.

As we all know, Cheng Yuan is different from Zhang Yimou in that he likes to work with familiar actors and rarely brings in new people.

How could Zhao Jinmai, such as He De, get such an opportunity?

Soon, Zhao Jinmai's background was dug out by the media.

When a top-notch child star debuts, the only thing he can do well is something like "Balala Little Demon Fairy".

And there is news that Zhang Zifeng was competing with Zhao Jinmai for the role of Han Duoduo at that time.

The outside world can't help but wonder, what would Cheng Yu'an think about choosing Zhao Jinmai instead of Zhang Zifeng, a child star that everyone in the industry is optimistic about?

But in a blink of an eye, it became clear that in the hands of Cheng Yu'an, no matter who you are, you can be praised. Of course, there is no need to consider the so-called popularity when choosing a role.

The launch of "The Wandering Earth" only caused a little splash in the fiercely competitive Spring Festival season, and was quickly covered up again.

This also allows the crew to work with peace of mind.

The biggest winner of this year's Spring Festival stalls is naturally Zhou Xingxing.

"Mermaid" was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. On its first day of release, it broke the single-day box office record for a domestic film with 276 million yuan. From the first to the sixth day of the new year, it maintained a daily box office output of more than 200 million yuan, attracting money.

Amazing strength.

"Mermaid" was ahead of the other two Spring Festival blockbusters on its first day of release. It has now far surpassed "Journey to the West: Part 3" and "Macau 3" and has become the well-deserved box office king during the Spring Festival.

The seventh day of the Lunar New Year coincides with Valentine's Day, and "Mermaid" achieved a counterattack at the box office, grossing 311 million on February 14, breaking its own single-day record for domestic films.

In addition, the box office of "Mermaid" in its first week of release reached 1.8 billion, setting a new record for single-week box office and first-week box office in Chinese film history.

At present, the total box office of the film has exceeded 2 billion.

Fatty Wang even posted his congratulations on his blog: "Congratulations to director Zhou Xingxing for breaking through 2 billion for "Mermaid"!"

There have been rumors of discord between the two, and Fatty Wang's blessing seems to be breaking the rumors of discord with practical actions.

"Mermaid" proved that Zhou Xingxing is still the undisputed king of comedy, but industry companies are more concerned about the marketing methods of this movie.

The trick of "owing Zhou Xingxing a movie ticket" is really evil.

So Cheng Yu'an could only just go to the studio and make a movie. He really couldn't think of such a sour word.

But excessive playing of the emotion card will deplete a director's image and aura in the minds of the audience.

If one day you make a bad movie, the backlash from the audience will be overwhelming.

But Zhou Xingxing doesn't seem to care about Yuan Yuan consuming his image like this.

The image and halo are not as real as real money.

The share that Yuan Yuan gave him was extremely generous. At present, Zhou Xingxing personally made more than 100 million from the film.

But this is just a drop in the bucket compared to the rising stock price of Yuan Yuan Film and Television due to the success of "Mermaid".

Therefore, Zhou Xingxing does not think that he is a lion and wants to open his mouth too much.

Huayi and Ahli also had this idea.

"Mermaid" made Yuan Yuan earn so much, and then "Journey to the West: Demons" will have a bigger market and more screens across the country, so they will earn even more!
