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 he really doesn't have much motivation to lose weight.
"Why can't I hear the sound of the soy milk machine?"
Wang Letian pricked up his ears and listened to the movement outside, but there was still no sound. I originally thought that the soymilk machine was broken, but when I came out, I realized that I 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 electricity.
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 better.
Apart from soy milk and a little pickles, there was nothing else on the table.
Putting up the tablet, drinking soy milk, breakfast started just like that.
"This guy writes pretty well."
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 a film critic circle with serious involution depends on a continuous learning process. After the rise of short videos, not only has the threshold for film reviews been lowered, but there are also many tricks. If you don't make progress, you will be eliminated.
'Learn and live until 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.
Reading the movie review, the soy milk in the bowl suddenly ran out.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Wang Letian lay down on the sofa in the living room with his tablet in his arms, feeling very comfortable while blowing on the air conditioner.
He wandered around the movie forum, where 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 globally simultaneously. If the quality is not good, our entire 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 competitive pressure will be greater. Looking at those foreign blockbusters, to be honest, I am worried about the performance of "Global Travel" after it is released."
"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 bit worried about the entire domestic movie.
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 shooting time will be a little longer, so we need to think carefully about it."
"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 felt a little darker. Tan Yue is among them. When he goes out to film in the morning recently, he always sprays 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.
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 asked doubtfully: "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.
"Stuck." 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.
"Is it 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 records, the shooting continues.
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 suits one by one.
Looking at the people gradually surrounding him, Truman ran into the woods nearby.
"Card."
It will be another scene after Truman runs into the forest.
Tan Yue said nothing and stared at the picture 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.
China, Qindao, seaside.
The crew of "Around the World".
Pakho Chang stood in the crowd, holding a loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "I declare that "Global Travel" is officially finished!"
The crew immediately cheered.
"Oh ho, it's finished. I don't want to go anywhere now. I just want to lie down at home."
"Although filming 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."
"We're done. 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 get home, it's so cool."
The crew started taking photos. The main actors and Zhang Pakho couldn't escape, and many people were pulling them to take photos with them.
Today is the happiest day for Zhang Pakhao since he turned on the camera. After putting in so much effort and traveling to more than ten countries, it was finally completed today.
He was very satisfied with the movie. Although the filming process was quite hard, when he saw the wonderful frames captured, he suddenly felt that the hard work was nothing.
During this period, Pakho Chang has been paying attention to the news of the new films of the other four directors. He can basically conclude that "Around the World" will be the first Chinese film to be released simultaneously around the world.
He has great confidence that "Around the World" will be a great success in the global film market. By then, his name will surely be remembered by audiences from all over the world.
After everyone greeted them, the crew of "Global Travel" took a group photo.
Afterwards, Zhang Pakho and the deputy director directed the preparation of props and photography equipment on site.
"Director Zhang, the script and storyboard of "Global Travel" are all placed here."
"The party will be left in my car."
It was Zhang Pakho's habit that he would take all the scripts he used during the filming process home and keep them.
Thinking about having been busy working on this movie for so long, I feel very emotional.
When Pakho Chang received the script, he was attracted by the story inside.
The movie is about a Chinese man who wants to travel around the world. Starting from China, he finally returned to China. Many interesting things happened in various countries during this period.
At that time, I thought it would be quite difficult to shoot scenes all over the world, but I didn't expect that it would actually be filmed in the end.
"Director Zhang." The assistant interrupted Zhang Pakhao's thoughts: "There are several media reporters over there who want to interview."
"Let them come directly."
Pakho Chang answered every reporter's question calmly.
"Director Zhang, this is your first movie to be released simultaneously around the world. Are you confident? Is this movie any different from the previous movies you have made?"
"First of all, I still have confidence. I believe that "Global Travel" will definitely achieve good results. In addition, the difference between this movie and previous movies is that there are less localized things and more of what everyone often says. of globalization.”
After answering the reporter's questions, Zhang Pakho continued to arrange for employees to pack their things.
The interview about Zhang Pakho was quickly reported on the Internet, causing heated discussions among netizens.
"It's finally finished. I must go to the cinema to support it."
"The first domestically produced film to be officially released globally simultaneously has been completed. I hope it will be released soon."
“Looking forward to Director Zhang’s new movie!”
"I have been paying attention to this movie for a long time, and now it is finally finished. I will definitely support Director Zhang's movie."
"In the past, foreign blockbusters entered the country. Now, will our films also enter the film markets of other countries?"
...
...
South China Sea.
The cast of "The Truman Show".
Winter has entered in the north, but the island where the crew is located is still as warm as summer, which has no impact on the filming of the plot.
After more than six months of filming, "The Truman Show" has reached the post-production stage and will be completed soon.
After getting along for such a long time, everyone has a tacit understanding, and many scenes are basically shot in one go.
Everyone knows the importance of this movie, so sometimes even if Tan Yue's requirements have been met, the actor himself will ask for a new one, wanting to make this movie the best it can be.
One person's efforts are self-discipline, and a group of people's efforts are atmosphere. Under such an environment, the filming of "The Truman Show" has been moving in the best direction.
A scene had just been filmed, and the crew sat together in twos and threes. Some are taking a break and chatting, and some are checking equipment...
Come and try it quickly. 】
Tan Yue sat under the tent to rest and read entertainment news on his mobile phone.
"World Travel" is finished filming!" Looking at the news headline, Tan Yue read out in a low voice.
After clicking in, I saw reports of the completion of "Global Travel" in Qindao, China, as well as an interview with Zhang Pakho.
After reading the entire report, Tan Yue felt that this should be a good movie.
Although he doesn't know much about the movie's content, Pakho Chang, a movie veteran, reveals his confidence between the lines.
But what kind of box office results will it ultimately achieve in the global film market?
Really unpredictable.
Tan Yue has been studying the foreign film market. It is hard to say whether this type of film will be liked by audiences from all over the world.
"Get ready and continue filming."
Tan Yue put these thoughts behind him. There is no use in thinking too much now. The results will naturally be seen after the film is released.
The employees finished chatting and returned to their jobs, and the filming continued after the actors were in place.
Tan Yue is not the only one paying attention to the "Global Travel" movie.
Beijing, General Administration of Culture Building, Director’s Office.
After the filming of "Around the World" was completed, Tianjing Entertainment immediately sent the news and relevant information to Ye Wen's secretary. Ye Wen started to read it carefully after the meeting, and then also watched the completion of "Around the World" online. interview.
This will be China's first movie to be released simultaneously around the world, and she attaches great importance to it.
Seeing that Pakho Chang was more confident about the movie during the interview, Ye Wen was very happy. If the first movie can achieve good results, it will also be an inspiration to others.
Ye Wen read the entire news report carefully and gave up the idea of contacting Pakho Zhang. The film has just been completed and post-editing will take some time. Some questions can be asked later.
