Chapter 826 "Global Travel"(1/2)
Time flies by and it’s mid-October in the blink of an eye.
Suzhou, Jiaheyuan.
The sleepy Wang Letian was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, packed up the soymilk machine and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Wang Letian patted his belly, which looked like he was several months pregnant, and just sighed.
He has a physique that is prone to obesity and does not really have much motivation to lose weight.
"Why can't I hear the sound of the soy milk machine?"
Wang Letian raised his ears and listened to the movement outside, but there was still no sound. He originally thought that the soymilk machine was broken, but when he came out, he realized that he had forgotten to plug it in.
"It's true that when a person wakes up, his soul is still lying on the bed." Wang Letian complained about himself while plugging in the power.
After washing, I sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze, as if my soul had escaped, and my mind was completely empty.
"It's good." The soymilk machine stopped working.
While waiting, he finally lost his sleepiness and regained consciousness.
For Wang Letian, breakfast is to prevent his gastrointestinal problems from recurring. A simple breakfast will make him feel much better.
Except for soy milk and some pickles, there is nothing else on the table.
I put up my tablet, drank soy milk, and started my breakfast.
"This person's writing is pretty good."
Wang Letian reads film reviews written by others, and at the same time thinks about what he can learn from. Being able to stand out in the film review circle with serious involution relies on a continuous learning process. After the rise of short videos, not only has the decline in
It has reached the threshold of being a film critic, and there are so many tricks. If you don’t make progress, you will definitely be eliminated.
‘Learn and live till you grow old’ has always been his motto.
In Wang Letian's day, he spends most of his time reading movie reviews written by others online, and the rest of his time is spent playing games.
After reading the movie review, the soy milk in the bowl suddenly reached the bottom.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Wang Letian lay down on the sofa in the living room with his tablet in his arms, enjoying himself with the air conditioner blowing on.
He wandered around the movie forum. At this time, many people were discussing Pakho Chang's new movie "Around the World".
"I heard that "Around the World" is about to be finished. I wonder what this movie is like?"
"The quality shouldn't be bad. After all, this is our country's first official movie to be released simultaneously around the world. If the quality is not good, our whole country will be embarrassed."
"But we can't be too optimistic. It's a good thing for movies to be released simultaneously around the world, but the pressure of competition will be greater. Looking at those foreign blockbusters, to be honest, I'm worried about the performance of "Around the World" after its release."
"After all, it is a domestically produced film. If it is to be released globally, of course we must support it!"
"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Director Zhang's movie will be finished soon! Looking forward to it!"
Wang Letian, who has read countless movies, is very worried about this movie, not just Pakho Chang's movies, he is a little worried about all domestic movies.
He is very aware of the gap between domestic films and foreign films, and the situation is not optimistic.
His fingers continued to slide across the tablet screen, looking at the topics discussed by others.
"Brothers and sisters, do you have the latest news about Mr. Tan Yue's new movie "The Truman Show"? I watched the opening ceremony online, but I can't see any other follow-up news."
"Same as you, there is no news. I guess they are still filming. But with Teacher Tan's ability, it should be very soon, after all, it has been so long."
"This is a movie that will be released simultaneously around the world. Maybe the filming will take a little longer and it will be carefully polished."
"I am very much looking forward to Teacher Tan Yue's new movie. I hope it can be as popular as in China."
Among the five directors, Wang Letian is most looking forward to Tan Yue's film. He feels that Tan Yue may be the only Chinese director who can achieve good results in the global film market.
The cast of "The Truman Show".
Under the scorching sun, everyone on the crew became a few shades darker. Tan Yue was among them. When he went out to film in the morning recently, he would spray some sunscreen spray that Chen Ziyu bought online.
Tan Yue held a loudspeaker and directed various departments on the scene to place props. The sweat on his face fell to the ground like water drops, and his vest was soaked through.
The set-up of the filming location is in progress in an orderly manner. A group of extras are listening to the assistant director's narration, and Ma Guoliang and Xin Zhi are acting opposite each other.
More than half an hour later.
The assistant director came over and said, "Director Tan, the extras' scenes have been explained clearly, and Teacher Ma and their scenes have also been completed."
Tan Yue nodded and said: "The venue is set up. Let's arrange for them to go to their places. We will start shooting right away."
Extras enter the shooting location under the arrangement of the assistant director.
After the scene notes were recorded, filming began.
Truman drove his car and was about to leave the island. After walking around the city many times, he thought he had found a way out, but was stopped by the police.
"Stay back, there will be a nuclear leak, we must shut down the factory and close the roads."
Truman wondered: "Is there another way?"
"The entire factory is on lockdown."
Truman looked helpless, and his wife said from the side: "Do you need help?"
The policeman shook his head and said, "No need."
Truman said angrily: "Thank you."
"You're welcome, Truman."
Tan Yue stared at the monitor intently, feeling very satisfied so far.
'Truman' on the monitor frowned and noticed something unusual. A policeman he had never met actually knew his name.
Ma Guoliang was completely immersed in the role. In order to show Truman's uneasiness at this time, he accidentally tripped himself to the ground when he got out of the car.
"Click." Tan Yue immediately stopped filming.
The extras on the side quickly helped Ma Guoliang, who was lying on the ground.
Tan Yue and others immediately gathered around.
"Are you okay, Teacher Ma?"
Ma Guoliang apologized: "I'm fine. I'm sorry, I didn't stand firm on my feet. I can feel the fall in advance."
Ma Guoliang was about to fall to the ground in the upcoming plot.
The staff patted the dirt off his body.
Tan Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay."
"I'm sorry, everyone." Ma Guoliang bent down and apologized to the extras and staff present. He felt very sorry for delaying the filming progress due to his negligence.
"Well, let's do the next scene again."
"Truman" had to jump from the car and rush through the crowd, which was dangerous. Ma Guoliang's accidental fall this time was a reminder.
Under the guidance of professionals, the subsequent scene was rehearsed three times.
These actions are no problem for Ma Guoliang. When he was filming "Lotus Lantern", he learned many actions.
Ma Guoliang said confidently: "There is no problem, Director Tan."
"Okay." Tan Yue returned to the monitor: "All departments are ready."
As the recorder recorded the scene, we continued shooting.
Truman got out of the car, jumped over two cars in a row, and ran all the way, but was stopped by "extras" wearing protective clothing.
Looking at the people gradually surrounding him, Truman ran into the woods nearby.
"Click."
It will be another scene after Truman runs into the forest.
Tan Yue said nothing and stared at the scene just taken. He not only wanted to see Ma Guoliang's expressions and movements, but also the reactions of the extras.
"Okay, pass." Tan Yue stood up and arranged: "Continue to shoot the next scene."
Mid-December.
Huaguo, Qindao, seaside.
The cast of "Around the World".
Pakho Chang stood in the crowd and shouted with a loudspeaker: "I declare that "Global Travel" is officially finished!"
The crew and crew cheered instantly.
"Oh ho, it's finished. I don't want to go anywhere now. I just want to lie down at home."
"Although filming a movie is very tiring, this time is really like traveling around the world. During the break, I still want to run out. Lying at home is the best."
"You are right. If it weren't for this movie, I would never have been able to travel to so many places abroad."
"It's time to call it a day. I haven't seen my wife and children for several months. Now I dream about them every night when I go to bed. I just want to go home as soon as possible."
"I can have a good night's sleep when I go home, it's so cool."
The crew started taking photos. The main actors and Zhang Pakho couldn't escape. Many people were pulling them to take photos with them.
