God was so kind to us today that it started to rain only after filming the horse riding scene.
Everyone was wrapped in down jackets and drank ginger soup in the wooden house and sighed: "How long will it take to finish filming on a day like this?"
It rained intermittently in the mountains. Half an hour later, the rain stopped, but it was no longer possible to shoot the outdoor scenes. It was muddy outside and it didn't look good.
"Let's shoot indoor scenes." Yu Feihong changed his plan temporarily. The shooting notice made by the crew was basically useless in this kind of weather.
After filming today's scene, the crew spent nearly 2 hours returning to the hotel.
I’m not tired when I’m filming, I’m tired when I’m traveling.
Zhang Yuanjun was lying in the room reading tomorrow's script. Xiao Zhao came over to inform him of the upcoming schedule:
"Tomorrow, six teams will come to visit the crew for interviews. They will edit two issues. One is the report on "Love Has Afterlife" and the other is the preview of Cannes. It will take a long time."
"Um."
"Cheng Guofu will come over tomorrow night."
"What is he here for?" Cheng Guofu is the artistic director of Huayi. What can he do to him?
"I didn't say anything specific. I just said we were here to discuss cooperation."
"It will be later tomorrow. I don't know when I can come back. I will go back to the hotel and do six sets of interviews first."
"Then at 10:30, you guys have a midnight snack?"
"Okay, let's ask him what he means by letting him go so late."
"I'll go tell you."
After announcing the itinerary, Xiao Zhao also went back to rest.
Zhang Yuanjun took a hot bath, read for a while, and then fell asleep.
The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Zhang Yuanjun set off into the mountains with the crew.
The crew learned from the lessons learned in recent days and mainly shot indoor scenes today.
But because reporters from the sixth set were coming to visit the team, the crew had to take time out to receive them - filming is so helpless, with various factors on and off the set interrupting it.
But in general, Yu Feihong welcomes reporters from the sixth set to visit the class, even though she knows that this exposure is in the favor of her leading actor.
If Zhang Yuanjun had not been shortlisted for Cannes, would the six sets have come from the capital to this mountain?
"This is a poignant and touching love story," Zhang Yuanjun introduced the film to the camera. "Teacher Yu will play two roles. My role is quite special." Although the film has been reviewed, Zhang Yuanjun still cannot say in front of the camera that he plays the role. Instead, he teased the reporter, "Look at my appearance, what do you think I am playing?"
In fact, before coming here, the reporter had read the synopsis of "Love Has an Afterlife" and of course knew who Zhang Yuanjun was playing.
But this is not a show, it is filmed for the audience.
The reporter was very cooperative: "Looking at your neat appearance, you look like a rich man or something."
Zhang Yuanjun laughed and said: "I play a bandit who has read books about sages."
"Ah? Really?" The reporter laughed.
After interviewing the male lead, then the second male lead, Yao Lu, who plays Brother A Ming, and finally the director and female lead Yu Feihong.
Yu Feihong admitted in front of the camera that it is difficult to be a director: "The biggest problem is the external environment. The weather in the mountains changes so fast that we can hardly finish the shooting announcements we make every day. We all say that we are competing with God for the scene."
The reporter asked her: "Why did you choose Zhang Yuanjun? After these few days of filming, do you think his performance was successful?"
"Because he is cheap." Teacher Yu joked.
The reporters were dumbfounded. Zhang Yuanjun is the most popular niche guy right now. How could he be so cheap?
Yu Feihong continued to explain: "The role of A Ming was cast for him very early. At that time, we were still filming "Famous". I said I have a scene here. You can cast it for me, and he agreed. He It wasn't as popular as it is now.
"Last year, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was aired. I watched his performance as Yang Guo and found that he had great expressiveness and potential, and he had the temperament of A Ming that I wanted. "Love Has an Afterlife" did not There is no need for a very thin image with a glamorous appearance, and Yuanjun is very enthusiastic and persistent in his acting career, and he is very capable in acting. These points impress me. I believe the audience will see a very different one Zhang Yuanjun, the audience will have a new understanding of him and will be impressed by him."
At the end of the interview, the reporter did not leave and signaled: "Don't worry about me, just keep filming, and we will also take some material."
Today, I grabbed a lot of interior scenes from God. Yu Feihong was very satisfied. When he finished work in the evening, he announced that tomorrow would be the highlight of the wedding scene between A Ming and Ah Jiu.
"Everyone, have a good rest tonight. Call it a day."
The reporters from the sixth set hadn't left yet and actually followed the crew's car back.
Yu Feihong said: "It takes three hours to go back and forth from the hotel to the scenic spot every day. If it rains, the delay will be even more."
"Can your body bear it?"
"It didn't work at the beginning. The crew all had altitude sickness. It was so severe that they were so dizzy that they couldn't get out of bed. Our male lead, Zhang Yuanjun, had no energy. But after everyone got used to it, there was no hindrance."
The reporter followed and chatted all the way, and finally arrived at the hotel at a quarter past eight in the evening.
I didn't even have time to eat, so I had to rush to conduct an exclusive interview with Zhang Yuanjun.
Zhang Yuanjun has been filming for a long time, and he has long been accustomed to staggering meals: "Why don't you eat something first?"
The reporter refused and said, "Let's finish the interview. We are used to it and we will have a meal or two."
The interview was held in a small conference room in the hotel.
"Hello, viewers of China Film Report, I am Zhang Yuanjun." After turning on the camera, Zhang Yuanjun greeted the camera, "I am currently in Yunnan Province, filming a movie."
"How do you feel about being shortlisted for the main competition section of the Cannes Film Festival this time?"
"Be happy."
"Aren't you nervous?"
"No, because I know I won't get the prize."
The reporter interrupted him and said helplessly: "You can't say that."
Zhang Yuanjun understood after thinking about it: "Okay, let's record it again." Then he marked it for himself, "3 2 1, start."
The reporter continued the question just now: "How do you feel about being shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival this time?"
"I'm very nervous, but also very happy." This is the standard answer to this kind of question.
Zhang Yuanjun chatted with reporters for more than an hour, mainly talking about the movie "Buried Alive" and some views on the Cannes Film Festival.
"I have traveled to Paris before," that was to France to see Zhang Yuanying, "but I have never been to Cannes."
“I’m looking forward to my trip to Cannes.”
After finishing the six sets of interviews, Zhang Yuanjun got in the car without stopping and headed to the place where he made an appointment with Cheng Guofu for a supper.
Sitting in the car, Zhang Yuanjun couldn't help but sigh: "You said it's inappropriate for me to leave my young master alone. Why do I have to do this? I'm born to work hard."
Assistant Xiao Zhao smiled and said: "Stop complaining, young master, how many people want to do this but can't."
Zhang Yuanjun had just taken off his makeup in the car when the car stopped in front of a hotel.
Cheng Guofu waited in the box for a long time. The two parties greeted each other and sat down respectively.
Zhang Yuanjun looked at the table full of food and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, I didn't feel hungry on the way here, but I felt hungry after entering this box. I didn't eat properly during filming today."
Cheng Guofu felt even more relaxed when he saw Zhang Yuanjun being so easy-going: "Then let's eat first, come on."
Halfway through the meal, when Zhang Yuanjun was almost done, Cheng Guofu said, "I have a play here. I wonder if you are interested."
It should be easy to guess this drama.
