Chapter 146: Notice of July
Leaving the shooting club, Shao Qiu took Xiong Dawei through half of the city and came to the other side of the Magic City.
This is the LC area, with old-fashioned buildings everywhere, one of which is a twelve-story building, which is the destination of this trip.
This is an abandoned apartment building that was built in the 1950s and is about to be demolished.
In order to find a building suitable for filming, Shao Qiu asked the company's employees to travel to several cities, selected more than a dozen buildings, and finally selected this one from it.
The reason is that it will be demolished soon, so no matter how it is done inside, it will be fine. The crew can destroy it unscrupulously.
The owner of this property knew that it was Shao Qiu who wanted to make a movie, so he happily rented it to the crew at a low price.
After Xiong Dawei got off the car, he saw the old building with peeling exterior walls and no windows.
In the past, it was perhaps a beautiful landmark building, but now it is just an outdated old building.
"How is it?" Shao Qiu asked with a smile.
Xiong Dawei nodded: "No problem, it's quite appropriate."
A wide isolation belt was pulled outside the building, and people wearing security uniforms stopped curious onlookers from entering.
I heard that Shao Qiu was going to make a movie here, and the people in more than a dozen streets around him would come to watch the fun from time to time.
More than a dozen large and small vehicles were parked next to it, and the trucks were filled with building materials.
The staff carrying safety helmets carry various materials in and out.
You can hear the sound of the cutting machine coming from the building outside.
"Come in and take a look." Shao Qiu greeted and walked into the building first.
Xiong Dawei followed Shao Qiu into the building. The corridor was simply cleaned up, and high-power lamps were hung on the walls to illuminate the originally dim corridor.
Shao Qiu drew the black doors and windows and said, "We bought a batch of old doors and windows from the second-hand market and are waiting for someone to install them."
There are also several buildings that are not bad, but there are people living there, so we have to invite residents out. We calculated the cost, which is more expensive than renovating the old building."
Renting someone’s building not only requires someone to pay rent, but also you have to restore it as it is after the auction is completed, and it costs money to come and go.
The corridor is now like a construction site, with workers busy re-arranging the wires and cleaning up the rooms full of garbage.
I just waited to pack up a few rooms, moved into a batch of old furniture, and arranged it into the rooms needed for shooting.
Another group of workers slammed the wall with sled hammers, expanding the indoor space to arrange cameras and lighting equipment.
"Anyway, this building will be demolished after shooting. I asked someone to pick the things from the fresh market. All the things are all at once. Just throw them away after shooting." Shao Qiu said it very easily. Good things that can save costs will certainly make him happy, the producer.
Going up to the next floor, there was a warning sign "Danger, no entry" hanging in the corridor. A group of people wearing white safety helmets were measuring the corridor, drawing marks on the walls, and preparing to lay explosives.
This group of people belongs to a professional fireworks prop company, and they are responsible for producing the gunfights and explosion effects in the movie.
This company is very professional and is not cheap.
They also demonstrated an explosion to Xiong Dawei, simulating the effect of a grenade exploding in the corridor.
An explosion sounded, and black and gray smoke and debris were sprayed out, which looked quite shocking.
Shao Qiu and Xiong Dawei took Xiong Dawei around the building with the most important scene in the whole film. The preliminary preparations are almost completed soon.
Shao Qiu himself is full of confidence. He has carefully studied the script. As long as it can be shot according to the effect in his heart, it will definitely be a good movie.
"I've prepared almost the same thing here, just wait for your gun and clothes."
Xiong Dawei nodded and said, "No problem, I will do it when I go back. As long as I am willing to spend money, it will take a few days to find a factory to customize it."
"If everything is ready, I plan to start filming at the end of the month." Shao Qiu said: "When will you join the group by Big Bear?"
Xiong Dawei thought for a while and said, "At the end of June, everything will be smooth, at the end of May. The beach ambulance team actually doesn't have many scenes as the protagonist, so I let Lao Wei put it in front and shoot it in a concentrated manner."
Shao Qiu calculated with his fingers: "If there is no problem, we can catch up with the summer vacation in August and the National Day in early September."
This movie has a lot of gunfights, blood spray and headshot scenes, and is likely to be divided into 12, and it is not very meaningful to grab the summer vacation.
The opening of the summer season belongs to the children, with ten movies released and five of them cartoons.
The National Day holiday in September is very good.
Xiong Dawei hurriedly returned from the Magic City to Sunshine City, and then joined the shooting of the beach ambulance team.
As Xiong Dawei said, in this TV series, he really doesn’t have many scenes, and most of the time he only appears a few scenes.
The protagonists are those girls in swimsuits.
The performance of the two transfer students is different.
Sunya gets along well with the crew. She puts a low posture in the crew and maintains a respectful attitude towards the crew staff, smiling all day long.
The acting skills cannot be said to be good, but it is more than enough to act in this TV series.
Everyone likes well-behaved and obedient actors. After filming her scenes, Wei Liangfu even held a small farewell party for her. Looking at Su Lai's face, he praised her for a few words.
Princess Song Wei has always been surrounded by servants and bodyguards, and she stayed in her RV when she came to the set.
The director Wei Liangfu, who is looking for him, had to let the servants spread it. It was simply too.
Every day, I get off the bus at the right time and go back after taking pictures of her.
Everyone thought that this princess was quite cold, and because of her name, no one had any more dealing with her. Even Wei Liangfu looked like she was doing business.
Anyway, she went back in less than a week, so Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu were too lazy to care about it.
In private, several actresses in the crew muttered a lot: No, the princess, to put it bluntly, she is just a daughter of the mayor's family, and she has to be a fourth-tier city.
The people of the Celestial Empire are quite interesting in this regard. When you are proud, I am more arrogant than you.
In mid-April, Xiong Dawei and Huilanxin, accompanied by Tianlai Music, participated in this year's Golden Record Awards Ceremony.
The Dream Team won a Best Combo and Best Music Short Film, and no other heavyweight awards.
If the grades are not bad, Huilan was still a little disappointed.
She originally went for the best single, and spent millions of public relations fees, and finally lost to a male singer who has been in the music industry for many years.
More importantly, there is the giant Universal Music behind it.
Tianlai's small size is incomparable to Global.
Moreover, Tianlai Music made too much money last year, and the Dream Team became so popular that it was jealous. The Dream Team also robbed a lot of other people's resources, which led to several major companies tacitly joining forces to exclude Tianlai Music.
The girls of the Dream Team were also disappointed. They used all their energy to feed themselves last year, and they were so tired that they almost broke up after lunch break throughout the year.
The final result was still not satisfactory.
Hui Lanxin even used the method of acting coquettishly, pestered Xiong Dawei, and then made an album for the Dream Team, and continued to strive for the best album or the best single next year.
Huilanxin will not give up without getting one of them. She wants to bring Tianlai Music back to the top.
The shooting of the Beach Ambulance Team is progressing rapidly.
In the first part, Wei Liangfu insisted on using two cameras and took a lot of material, but the first part was not used up at all.
Especially the scenes involving the extras.
It was a lot of troublesome dispatching extras, but now it is no longer necessary. Take out the materials from the first part and use them directly.
The main actors are all skilled workers, and after entering the state, they are extremely efficient.
Wei Liangfu originally planned to finish twenty-four episodes in the 16th week, but now it's almost done when watching 13th week.
In July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the entire land of China is trapped in the scorching sun.
The temperature in many places has exceeded the highest temperature records in previous years, and this year seems to be a particularly hot year.
The hot weather makes people unwilling to work, and only the students are happiest because they are on summer vacation.
The first version of the movie poster and trailer were released, and the promotional activities for the new movie were also launched simultaneously.
The poster is very simple, with Shao Qiu and Xiong Dawei standing on both sides of the corner of the wall respectively.
Xiong Dawei held the submachine gun, with a look of dust and sweat on his face, and his face was solemn, while Shao Qiu stretched out his arm holding the gun and stared at the front with a calm expression.
Just looking at the poster, Shao Qiu is more like a positive character, while Xiong Dawei is a villain.
The bottom of the poster is written in three-dimensional artistic characters, starring Shao Qiu, Xiong Dawei, Zou Yan, Zhao Li, September 1st.
The trailer is also played on TV stations. The trailer content is much richer, and it is mainly hot and exciting.
The opening scene was a tall and heavy gangster who opened fire desperately with an automatic rifle under his arm, and bullets shot on the wall, splashing fragments in the sky.
Then several policemen guarded both sides of the corridor, fired inside with pistols and submachine guns, and made holes in the opposite wall.
The next shot is Shao Qiu calmly holding a pistol and shooting while retreating.
Then there were a group of well-equipped special police officers armed to the teeth, and it was this group of special police officers that aroused the great interest of the audience. They - it was so trendy~!
