Chapter 57 Princess Jing Visits the Set
Beijing, Huairou Film and Television Base.
The various teams within the production crew are making preparations.
The indoor scenes in "Lost in Thailand" were all filmed in China, specifically in Huairou.
For location shooting, we would go to Thailand to film.
The scene to be filmed now is the one where Xu Lang discovers the amazing product "Oil King".
Unlike "Lost on Journey," Xu Zheng in "Lost in Thailand" shaved his head, making him even more comical.
When Xu Lang was researching "Oil King", he still had hair.
This one was approved very quickly.
The next scene filmed was a conversation between Xu Lang and his wife An An in the conference room.
At this point, Xu Lang, played by Xu Zheng, was already bald.
The story background of "Lost in Thailand" is explained through the dialogue between the two characters.
Gu Qingshan sat in front of the monitor, watching the husband-and-wife duo perform.
Tao Hong played An An, and Gu Qingshan paid her 20 yuan as a favor to Xu Zheng.
The video, which was just filmed, shows Xu Lang successfully developing "Oil King" and is playing on the screen.
"Oil King, you've succeeded!"
Do you know what it means once renewable energy is on the market?
"I've finalized everything with PureWind Ventures, and we can sign the contract this Wednesday."
"Right now, right now, I'm going to Thailand."
"As long as Lao Zhou gives me the authorization, everything will be fine."
An An: "Xu Lang, we've been together for twelve years. When I brought up divorce, your first reaction was that it wouldn't affect your business."
"This marriage means nothing to you, doesn't it?"
Xu Lang: "You know how much I've sacrificed for this project."
"Xiao Di is in trouble." Tao Hong, who plays An An, said, touching her stomach.
Gu Qingshan made some changes here. Xu Lang was busy with business and did not tell An An that she was pregnant. Xu Lang was unaware that his wife An An was pregnant.
A scene that was less than 4 minutes long took an hour to film.
When Huang Bo appeared, everyone burst into laughter several times.
If they laugh during filming, we have to reshoot.
"Okay, pass!"
"Next!"
Gu Qingshan shouted.
When Gao Bo took out his phone, it was an Apple 3G phone. Apple sponsored a sum of money, and all the phones in the movie "Lost in Thailand" were Apple 3G phones.
Then, the video shows Xu Lang hurriedly leaving the office, with his secretary handing him his phone.
This scene, which lasted only one minute, was filmed very quickly.
......
Inside the constructed airplane interior.
The first scene where Xu Lang and Wang Bao meet has officially begun filming!
This scene was actually set up to connect with the airplane scene in "Lost in Thailand," creating a familiar impression of the "Lost" series for the audience.
This scene alone had hundreds of extras.
The first shot was of Xu Lang talking on the phone with his son, "Xiao Di".
Then Wang Baoqiang appeared, holding a cactus and wearing floral pants. He stepped onto the handrail, leaving Xu Lang somewhat at a loss.
The two actors' performance was full of laughter, making everyone laugh out loud.
The mere mismatched dialogue between the two is enough to make people laugh.
Like "Lost in Thailand", "Lost in Thailand" is full of joy.
......
night.
Che Xiao took the script to Gu Qingshan's room and asked him to give her some acting advice.
Gu Qingshan gave Che Xiao a thorough explanation of the role, and after glancing at the flight attendant uniform lying on the chair, he realized that Che Xiao was absolutely perfect for the role of a flight attendant.
Che Xiao nestled in Gu Qingshan's arms; the flight attendant character didn't have many scenes.
"Nightclub" grossed 56 million yuan, "Love is Not Blind" grossed over 200 million yuan, and "Lost in Thailand" broke the mainland box office record previously held by "Titanic" with a staggering 390 million yuan.
Gu Qingshan has been promoted directly to a top director, comparable to Feng Xiaogang, a pillar of Huayi Brothers.
Moreover, Gu Qingshan is not only a director, but also the boss of Qingshan Film and Television. Everyone knows that Gu Qingshan has become a billionaire, and he is not much less wealthy than the two bosses of Huayi Brothers combined.
"Is the schedule okay for next month?" Gu Qingshan gently stroked Che Xiao's back.
Che Xiaodao said, "No problem. My role in 'If You Are the One' isn't big. The production team will give you face, Director Gu."
Gu Qingshan nodded slightly.
Che Xiao's agency is with Huayi.
Qingshan Film and Television did not vigorously develop artist management, with only Lu Shan and others, plus Shen Teng and Ma Li.
Gu Qingshan had no intention of poaching Che Xiao, after all, Che Xiao still had several years left on her contract with Huayi, and the termination fee would be considerable.
Moreover, if we were to dig up Che Xiao's information, she might develop some bad ideas, which would be troublesome.
It's fine as we are; we can just enjoy it occasionally and have a taste.
......
"Action!"
Gu Qingshan gave the order, and the entire film set instantly fell silent.
Staff from each department performed their duties and began filming the pivotal scene, "The Basement in the Temple."
The setting is entirely Thai in style.
Thai and English translators stood by, and all the extras were genuine Thai people.
In the capital city, you can find people from most countries, and Thais are no exception.
In Beijing, there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 Thai residents, students, and tourists, making it easy to find a few extras.
In fact, many films shooting in foreign locations, as long as the buildings are not very obvious, are built in China and assembled using props.
Making this kind of prop couldn't be easier.
Three photographers, three camera positions, all focused on Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo.
Three opposing groups, three main characters, and dozens of extras!
Gu Qingshan stared intently at the monitor; all three actors were quite good at their craft.
The three of them succeeded not by chance, but because they had the ability.
Wang Baoqiang needs no introduction. Many extras idolize him, after all, he started out as an extra. But you have to understand, Wang Baoqiang is very special. He's someone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He's the only one who's perfectly suited for this field, and he's also serious, ambitious, and able to seize opportunities.
It would be hard not to succeed!
Xu Zheng first achieved success in the field of television dramas, and his acting skills are quite good. The success of "Night Shop" and "Lost in Thailand" gave him more confidence. After getting the script for "Lost in Thailand", he studied the play a lot and consulted Gu Qingshan in private. He also acted with Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo.
The film was very successful as soon as it was shot.
Huang Bo was also very hardworking, rehearsing his lines and memorizing them in advance. He also had high emotional intelligence, intentionally or unintentionally getting close to Gu Qingshan and befriending the assistant director, cinematographer, and other members of the crew.
This scene was filmed in just two takes.
Gu Qingshan, holding a megaphone, announced, "Everyone, take a twenty-minute break. We'll start filming the next scene in twenty minutes!"
Just then, someone shouted, "Ms. Jing Tian is treating everyone to chilled watermelon!"
"Ms. Jing Tian is treating everyone to chilled watermelon!"
Suddenly, the film crew was bustling with activity.
Then Jing Tian walked over, and his assistant arranged for people to move the watermelons.
"Why did you come here?" Gu Qingshan asked, somewhat surprised.
It's fortunate that Jing Tian suddenly came to work; it wasn't during his rest time at night, otherwise, it would have been bad if he had been caught red-handed.
Jing Tian sat down next to Gu Qingshan. "You're going to Thailand soon, so I came to visit you on set."
Jing Tian also had his own ulterior motives; he came to the film set to keep an eye on things and prevent Gu Qingshan from getting involved with other women.
