Hengdian was originally just a small town in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province. Apart from the beautiful mountains and clear waters, the scenery was good, and there was nothing special about it.
In order to welcome the return of Xiangjiang in 1996, Emei Film Studio teamed up with many domestic units to shoot the movie "YP War". When the great director Xie Jin was choosing a location, he unexpectedly received an invitation from the local government of Hengdian.
After some investigation, Xie Jin finally chose Hengdian as the filming location for the movie.
Ground was broken that year and it took only three months to build Guangzhou Street, the first film and television base of Hengdian Film and Television City.
From then on, in just over a year, it has been continuously expanded and its scale has become larger and larger. It has formed mainly Guangzhou Street and Qin Palace, which can meet the needs of shooting costumes, eras, and modern and contemporary dramas at the same time. , the largest movie theater in Asia.
This was Zhang Chu's first time here, and he couldn't help but be deeply shocked along the way.
It is hard to imagine that such a huge building complex was built in just over a year.
Zhang Jingchu didn't think it was strange. She came from Beijing alone last year to meet the crew. Unfortunately, the experience was not good and she didn't even get to meet the director.
She only met a person who claimed to be a casting director. When they met, he gave her various hints and it was obvious what he wanted to do.
Zhang Jingchu immediately threw the cup of tea in front of her into the other person's face, and then walked away.
Although what I encountered was disgusting, at that time I was in a movie theater that was much smaller than it is now, and an indescribable longing suddenly surged in my heart.
She hopes that she can belong here, and looks forward to one day being able to walk into this movie theater openly, not as a tourist, but as an actor.
She never expected that this day would come so quickly. After a few months, she really came. This time, she got her wish and became an actor.
And all this is because...
Zhang Jingchu looked at Zhang Chu, who was sighing at the majesty of the Qin Palace.
Someone actually spent so much energy building such a huge palace just to make a movie.
"The movie "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" released last year was shot here."
Zhang Chu has heard of this movie, which has been specially reported in many magazines, and posters can often be seen on the streets.
However, this movie is said to have been badly criticized. After investing tens of millions, it only received 10 million at the box office. It is obvious how much it lost.
"Didn't that movie suffer miserably?"
This kind of thing is like buying an official in the past, spending all the family wealth, and then being thrown into a remote country. The people were so poor that they didn't even have a pair of pants when they left home, and they lost everything.
"It can't be calculated that way. After all, the movie still left the Qin Palace. Investors can still make money back even if they sell tickets."
Can it still be like this?
Zhang Chu smiled: "You know quite a lot."
Zhang Jingchu couldn't help but feel a little proud: "How about we go in and have a look too?"
There are many tourists visiting Qin Palace. The last time Zhang Jingchu came to Hengdian, the place was still filming and was not open to the public.
"No, next time, find a place to eat first."
The crew will start shooting tomorrow, so today is the only free day left.
Not only Zhang Chu and Zhang Jingchu, but other actors in the same group also came out to travel around, especially those from Baodao, who were more inexperienced than Zhang Chu.
Wow! so high!
Wow! so big!
Wow! good……
Zhang Jing didn't insist when she first heard this, but she really wanted to go in and experience it.
The two of them didn't go far when they saw a row of small restaurants.
Of course, it is impossible for a region to develop tourism just to collect a share of the tickets and increase fiscal revenue.
The most important thing is to stimulate the local economy, increase jobs, and create money-making opportunities for local people.
For example, these small restaurants are basically owned by locals, and there are many vendors selling souvenirs.
The existence of a film and television city can allow the people here to live a good life. Of course, the premise is that they can't be lazy, and money will never fall into anyone's pocket for no reason.
"Brother!"
I chose a family and went in. As soon as I walked in, I saw Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang. They were guarding a table waiting for dinner.
It was just in time for lunch, and there were many customers in the store. Most of them were tourists from out of town who took advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday and took their families out to play.
"Brother, we have a place here, come and sit here."
Huang Bo just wanted to cover his face when he looked at it. This naughty kid had no eyesight at all. He didn't see a girl following Zhang Chu!
At this time, a smart person should pretend not to see it.
Wang Baoqiang shouted, and all the customers in the store looked over.
"Keep your voice down!"
When Huang Bo saw that Wang Baoqiang was about to stand up, he quickly grabbed him.
"Brother, Brother Zhang is over there!"
Am I blind?
Then the two big living people can still be invisible.
"Xiao Zhang, there is no room, how about... together?"
Huang Bo said and smiled awkwardly at Zhang Jingchu. He really didn't want to be a light bulb.
Zhang Chu didn't think as much as he thought, so he came over with Zhang Jingchu.
That’s awesome!
On the way to Hengdian, Huang Bo noticed that the relationship between Zhang Chu and Zhang Jingchu was unusual. Fortunately, he kept thinking about it, worrying that Zhang Chu would not be able to leave because of Tang Wei.
As a result, they didn't seem to take it seriously at all, and turned around to find another one.
She still looks as beautiful as ever.
It's really irritating to see people compare to each other.
Look at this woman's luck, if she's good-looking, she's like a cow.
If it were him, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.
However, Zhang Chu is also very carefree, and he has obviously been with Tang Wei...
He fell in love so quickly.
Scumbag!
Huang Bo kept thinking, if Zhang Chu knew that all these things were on his mind, he would have to slap him out of the store.
Can't there be pure friendship between men and women?
Dirty!
The waiter was called and two more dishes were added. It was obviously Zhang Chu who had invited Zhang Chu for today's meal.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang!"
Huang Bo grinned, thinking that even if Zhang Chu is a scumbag, he is still very cute.
Wang Baoqiang also cheered: "Thank you, brother!"
Thank you sister!
This is all my hard-earned money, and every minute I treat it like my own son.
The business in the store was good, and the food was naturally served at a fast pace. Several people also chatted, and while chatting, they talked about the crew.
The two leading actors haven't seen anyone yet.
I heard Lu Feng say before that he would come directly to Hengdian to meet the crew, but filming starts tomorrow and we haven’t seen him yet.
"Big stars have a full schedule of work, and they will definitely not be able to come before filming starts. Even if they are delayed by something, the worst they can do is shoot other people's movies first."
Huang Bo has been performing as a group performer for so long, so he has long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
Wang Baoqiang asked curiously: "What if you never come?"
Huang Bo said angrily: "If you don't come, I'll let you play the leading role."
Well……
Wang Baoqiang knows that he doesn't have that fate. If he is asked to play the role of Xiao Li Tanhua, will anyone watch this drama?
Lin Shiyin had such a childhood sweetheart as her cousin, which was a bad luck for eight lifetimes, so it was natural for her to fall in love and marry Long Xiaoyun.
"I can't act, and you can't act either."
Stop talking.
Zhang Chu had a picture in his mind. The flowery Lin Shiyin was standing next to a big donkey face. This was not a martial arts drama, but a horror movie.
Zhang Jingchu couldn't help but laugh when she heard the two people bickering.
"Still laughing, what your character Lin Xian'er wants most is one of the two of them..."
"do not talk!"
Zhang Jingchu was also shocked, it was so scary.
Is it necessary to have such a big reaction?
Wang Baoqiang was heartless, but Huang Bo was depressed.
At this time, someone else came in and was about to leave when they saw that there was no room...
"Zhang Chu, Zhang Jingchu!"
As he said this, people had already arrived, including Jia Jingwen and Zhang Chen, the actor who played Long Xiaoyun in the play.
Who would have thought that the actor who plays the evil-minded dragon Xiaoyun, who can be called the most evil dragon in the whole drama, is actually a little girl.
"Hello, teachers!"
The little girl is very polite and a little shy. She is only ten years old after the Chinese New Year, and "Little Li Flying Knives" is her first play.
Now that we are here, let’s come together!
Fortunately, Zhang Chu added a few more dishes just now, otherwise if there were too many people, there might not be enough food.
Jia Jingwen is also from Baodao, but she lived in the mainland for a period of time with her business parents.
He was also admitted to the Beijing Film Academy with excellent professional results.
But she dropped out of school not long after, and later starred in the TV series "Four Thousand Gold" and became popular in Baodao.
She gave up easily when others couldn't realize their dreams after years of hard work.
Although we are not familiar with each other, since we are together, there is no need to neglect others.
Zhang Jingchu is very good at taking care of others. She took the initiative to stir up the topic and soon became familiar with Jia Jingwen.
I also asked about the two big stars who haven’t come yet.
"I have never cooperated with them, but I heard that Mr. Jiao Enjun is a very nice person."
Xiao Qiang was not mentioned, but if you think about it, you can guess that the most beautiful woman in Treasure Island is a bit proud.
Zhang Chu was not interested in an older beauty, but Jia Jingwen. Thinking of what Lu Feng said before, Zhang Chu was a little curious.
He didn't look like he was involved with a big boss of the Black Society, but Lu Feng probably wouldn't talk nonsense and deliberately throw dirty water on a girl.
Could it be that Jia Jingwen is too good at pretending?
Sensing Zhang Chu's gaze, Jia Jingwen's face turned red and her eyes were a little dissatisfied, but she did not have an attack. She just turned her head and did not look at Zhang Chu.
Huang Bo sat across from the two of them and looked at them.
This little Zhang was too courageous, staring straight at another girl in front of Zhang Jingchu.
Alyssa Chia even blushed.
This damn womanhood.
It really makes people want to go crazy with jealousy.
"Is the food good? If the food is not served, we have to leave!"
Huang Bo shouted to the kitchen.
I didn't hear the expected standard reply of "I'll be fine soon."
There was a roar from the kitchen.
"Eat or not, if you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, just wait patiently."
Huang Bo suddenly looked confused. Are all the people doing business now so awesome?
