The novels written by Zhang Chu have been adapted into film and television works one after another, and at the same time, the first TV series "Soushen Ji" is also being planned.

However, the screenwriter has not modified the script yet, so the shooting cannot be started for the time being.

The anime of "Those Rabbits That Year" has already gained fame. This simple comic that is sought after by all animation companies is not handed over to the rest, but is funded by Hanlin Culture Media Co., Ltd.

The animation has not started production, but it has recovered a lot of costs. iQiyi defeated Tencent Video and bought the copyright of the first season of "The Rabbit" at a sky-high price.

And according to the level of 2 million yuan per episode, many people are now waiting for its first appearance!

Meilanfang Memorial Hall, located near Baoguo Temple, is a typical Yanjing courtyard.

It covers an area of ​​about 1,000 square meters. Before his death, Mr. Mei Lanfang used to be a crew in this quiet and peaceful courtyard.

This was once part of Prince Yi's mansion in the late Qing Dynasty, so it looked pretty good.

It contains a large collection of precious cultural relics and documents. Inside the display room is filled with Mr. Mei Lanfang's main artistic activities throughout his life, some costumes, props, as well as calligraphy, paintings or other souvenirs given to him by friends at home and abroad.

Although "Farewell My Concubine" does not tell the story of Mr. Mei, it is also related to Peking Opera, so there is a different feeling when filming here.

"Guess which scene is filmed here?" Xu Ji Lao became stronger and he started a puzzle.

Zhang Chu looked around and found no trace of the field recorder board, which was very difficult to guess.

Regardless of the fact that the entire novel was written out from under him, you can tell the general content by just recalling the plot inside.

First of all, this is a courtyard house, it cannot be a theater, it should be a place where people live.

When Cheng Dieyi was still calling Xiaodouzi, she practiced in the Siheyuan with her master and senior brothers. However, at that time, the conditions were not good and she should not be able to afford such a good place.

Then there is only one answer!

Zhang Chu, who transformed into the famous detective Conan, gave a reasoning answer confidently: "I guess this should be Cheng Dieyi's home after she became famous, right? Only then did he have the money to buy this courtyard."

Xu Ji clapped his hands, raised his thumbs up and said, "It's worthy of being a mystery novel, I guessed it all at once. This is Cheng Dieyi's home. We filmed several scenes here. Duan Xiaolou was beaten, Dieyi beat Xiaosi. What we want to film now is the last scene, Dieyi burned the costumes."

The filming of the movie is not strictly in chronological order, but depends on the director's shooting plan.

In the novel, the plot of burning costumes is very important, and it successfully shapes the paranoid side of Cheng Dieyi's personality and lays the foundation for the tragic ending of the story.

He didn't want to donate his costumes to some people who don't understand the opera and don't cherish the opera, so he would rather burn these precious costumes.

In the script adapted by Mr. Xu Ji, there have been quite wonderful changes in this. Dieyi believes that his senior brother Duan Xiaolou knows that Xiao Si wants to play Yu Ji as a substitute, but he does not object, but hides it from him with everyone.

Thinking that he had been betrayed, Dieyi burned these costumes in a heartbreaking situation, because he could no longer perform on the same stage with Duan Xiaolou!

"Director Xu, the makeup has been repaired and you can start shooting." A staff member wearing a down vest ran to Xu Ji and whispered. He looked at Zhang Chu curiously, thinking that it was a relative and child in Xu Ji's family.

Xu Ji said to Zhang Chu: "You are here at the right time. Let you see that the actor I chose will never be chosen wrong. This is Zhang Guorong's one-man show, and he really learned this role thoroughly!"

"Then I'll wait and see."

Zhang Chu looked at the person next to the heater not far away and felt a little moved.

In my previous life, I could only see images in various movies. In this life, I finally saw a real person, but I didn’t dare to say hello, for fear of destroying my impression.

There were beautifully made costumes hanging on rows of clothes hangers, and starring Zhang Guorong handed over his black down jacket to his assistant to take it, and stood in front of the camera in a thin white gown.

At this time, Xu Ji sat next to the monitor, held the intercom and said, "Each unit checks equipment, we will start shooting immediately."

Zhang Chu sat on the chair in a proper manner, watching the crew running.

This is just a small crew filming art films, but there are already dozens of staff. If it is a large scene, then the number of people including actors is estimated to be hundreds or thousands!

Therefore, there are too few people in China who can shoot big scenes and require extremely high scheduling skills. Lao Touzi does have a whole set, even though he is criticized as a radio gymnastics expert.

With the various staff members in place, Zhang Guorong's emotional brewing has also reached its peak!

He could not see any traces when performing, and interpreted Cheng Dieyi's surface calmness and her inner heart.

These costumes are all characters he played, and burning the costumes now means that he bid farewell to these characters in his heart.

A calm face and a expressionless face are two different things. The expression and eyes of every move are very different!

There are no lines in this play, only Zhang Guorong's performance, and the fire is really burning.

The costumes hanging on the shelf were rising with flames, but the beating flames could not warm Cheng Dieyi's heart.

Zhang Chu couldn't help but shouted in his heart. The actor was indeed not wrong and had already combined it with Cheng Dieyi!

Nothing is enjoyable to watch on the front of the computer, even if it is just a clip.

"Card, let's do it again. Camera No. 3 pay attention to the close-up, Camera No. 1 moves accurately. In addition, the heater on the other side is turned off, and orange lights are entered into the mirror on the background!"

Xu Ji can be said to have strict requirements, insisting on shooting under natural light and recording sounds on the spot, so he has very high requirements for actors and cameras.

Zhang Chu thought this article was good enough, but he didn't expect that Mr. Xu had been pursuing excellence to the point of nitpicking. It seems that the quality of the video is not to worry about!

"It's really not easy for an actor."

It was such a cold day, but after hearing the sound card, Zhang Guorong nodded and returned to the original place to stand, as if he could not feel the cold wind at all.

A thin white jacket can hardly keep it warm!

The staff of the prop team quickly stepped forward and used a fire extinguisher to extinguish the burning costume, then cleaned the ashes on the ground and hung the exact same costume on it.

The whole action was orderly, as if it had been done many times.

Xu Ji looked at Zhang Chu, and a smile appeared on his old face: "Filming is actually a very boring thing. If you feel bored, play with your phone, but be careful not to speak out."

"How could it be, I think it's quite interesting."

"It's not a good habit to be quarrel at a young age."

I don’t know how many times this has been filmed. Anyway, Zhang Chu thinks that Xu Ji will always find fault with his flawless performance. Zhang Guorong sometimes nods in agreement, and sometimes he will wear a down jacket to argue.

It was just one scene, but it was not finished in two hours!

It is conceivable how high the requirements are.

Zhang Guorong was drinking hot water with a thermos cup, while his assistant had already put on the down jacket, and he seemed to be so cold.

It is not easy to take such dazzling pictures when it is frozen.

In the corner, the staff who were temporarily free gathered to chat.

At this time, a middle-aged man from a set team lit the cigarette and asked, "Who is the young man who talks to Director Xu? It seems that he has a close relationship with Director Xu, why didn't he see him in the movie?"

"I guess it's the child of a relative or friend. It seems to be quite suitable for making movies."

"It's a pity that Mr. Xu is about to retire, otherwise he could find a supporting role in the old man's movie. This is a relationship householder, and it's much easier to become famous."

Lin Feng, who was in charge of logistics, looked around and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, he is not an actor. He is the original author of this movie!"

"Is it him? That writer who made more than 300 million yuan a year?"

"Damn, no..."

"He is more handsome than me, more talented and richer than me, and should he live!"

"He is Zhang Chu? No wonder Mr. Xu is so kind to him. It turns out that he has worked with him twice."

"If you can make so much money, why do you still act? You can write books with so much freedom. You can travel around the world with a laptop. I feel envious if you think about it."

This group of people mistaken Zhang Chu’s identity at the beginning. Fortunately, some people know the inside story, otherwise more speculations would emerge!

Of course, this is also an inevitable thing. His name is much more well-known than his appearance.

Most people would not regard a handsome young man as a writer, even though Zhang Chu has a lot of news, even if he has been on the cover of several magazines.

Zhang Chuke had no chance to hear other people’s chats, and he was very glad that he did not become a director.

Even if the director can add or remove clothes at any time, he still needs to work outdoors, whether it is the cold winter or the hot summer, sometimes even going to a desert or plateau with difficult conditions.

In this way, it is indeed comfortable to be a writer!

Sitting on a chair and typing on the keyboard will not affect the scorching sun and cold wind.

After finally another hour passed, Xu Ji's stern face relaxed after watching the playback of each camera in the monitor: "This one has passed!"

With his words, the prop group was prepared and put the simple salute directly at the sky. After 4 months of filming, "Farewell My Concubine" was finally completed!

Two "bang bang" sounds, colorful paper confetti are everywhere in the sky.

The staff cheered, while the production director sent red envelopes one by one, and there were people carrying cameras taking behind the scenes. These could be placed in a plate or used for early publicity.

"Happy to finish the film, happy to finish the film!"

The producer director patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder, handed him a red envelope, and then turned to the rest of the people.

Zhang Chu didn't expect that he also got a red envelope for the finalization. He didn't care how much money he had inside, he thought it was a memorable thing.

The wrinkles on Mr. Xu's face seemed to fade a little, and he said with emotion: "After filming so long, the last movie has finally been finished."

Setting up flag again!

The characters in novels, movies, and TV series usually say this sentence means a must-have, but Xu Ji is careless and really wants to retire and then live a life of life.

"Mr. Xu, you have a few months to rest. When I write a good novel, I will still ask you to shoot it. Otherwise, those novels may be ruined."

Xu Ji waved his hand and he whispered: "I know that bastard went to you to make a fuss to make money by making money. He really put his mind on the evil ways."

Zhang Chu did not complain, and I really don’t know why Xu Ji knew about the concern about "The Forest of Norway".

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's take a photo. At least I'll visit a class, so I have to leave something behind."
