HPDBC I can't do this question in Chapter 181.
I can't do this question in Chapter 181.
After an afternoon of script readings, the veteran actors and skilled performers in the crew had a complete grasp of Gu Heng's character.
Since none of us had much experience with science fiction films before, we were a little unsure about what to expect when we saw terms like parallel universes and source code in the script.
Especially for newcomers Tang Yan and Jing Tian, they still seemed a bit unsure about how to handle the script.
Gu Heng, ever the bachelor, leaned back in his chair and said, "Leave all the special effects for the sci-fi parts to me. All you guys need to do now is forget about the sci-fi and just remember that this is a suspense film!"
"In this film, the audience's perspective is entirely aligned with Xiaoming's. So you don't need to act out any high-tech stuff; just fool Xiaoming both on and off screen, completely sway him, and the suspense will be maximized!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
So you don't need to act out mind-bending high-tech stuff, you just need to act like a con artist?
We know how to do this!
As soon as today's reading session ended, the meeting room door creaked open.
Huang Xiaoming, who had been sitting outside like a foreman supervising the construction all afternoon, quickly stood up when he saw everyone come out. He patted the dust off his backside and was about to go up to ask about the progress.
As a result, Mr. Li Xuejian was the first to step out the door, walk to Huang Xiaoming's side, hold his old cadre teacup, take a deep look, and sigh.
"Xiaoming... this time, your uncle really can't help you."
After saying that, the old man shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked away.
Huang Xiaoming's mouth gaped open; he was completely dumbfounded.
No, Uncle? What do you mean?
Am I supposed to be the male lead who saves everyone? How come he can't help me?
Before he could react, Wang Yanhui walked over expressionlessly. He looked him up and down, then sneered, "So, you're the one trying to steal my woman?"
"Hmph!" Wang Yanhui flicked his sleeve and left.
Huang Xiaoming's eyes widened: Stealing a woman? Was this in the script? Isn't this supposed to be a sci-fi action movie? How did it turn into a love triangle?
Immediately afterwards, Ji Chunhua, sporting his bald head, approached.
"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll stab you to death!"
Huang Xiaoming was startled and quickly took a half step back.
Just as I was about to say something in my defense, Liu Yifei strolled over with her hands behind her back.
The fairy sister specially changed into a casual outfit today, looking pure and lovely, but her tone was so melancholy.
She interrupted Huang Xiaoming, sighing, "Brother Xiaoming, don't say anymore, we...it's impossible."
After saying that, she wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, and dragged Tang Yan and Jing Tian, who were trying to suppress their laughter, away.
Next, Wang Shuangbao and Bado, the two duo preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, each left behind a nonsensical line before heading off work.
Huang Xiaoming stood there, bewildered in the wind.
He held his head in his hands, on the verge of a breakdown.
What the hell is this movie? Am I supposed to be playing a soldier?
How come he has to deal with terminal illness, stealing a woman, being chased, and heartbreak all at once?
Why is the script I received different from yours?
"Director Gu!"
When Huang Xiaoming saw Gu Heng, the last one to come out, he felt as if he were seeing a long-lost relative. He grabbed Gu Heng's arm and exclaimed, "How come this is completely different from the script?"
"I really can't do this problem!"
Gu Heng looked at Xiaoming, who was on the verge of collapse, and patted him on the shoulder, barely suppressing his laughter.
"It's okay, Xiaoming, don't feel pressured. Don't think about it anymore, let's go eat hot pot, it's on me!"
So, during the next two weeks of preparation...
The film crew seemed to have found a new form of entertainment.
People would often go up to Huang Xiaoming and say a few sweet nothings whenever they had free time.
Sometimes, I feel that it's not enough to fool someone by myself, so I simply form a group to fool them.
She's turned the sunny and cheerful Xiaoming into someone almost like Yu Yu.
Meanwhile, the cast for Ning Hao's "Detective Chinatown" has finally been mostly finalized.
One of the male leads, Qin Feng, was chosen by Ning Hao after he visited the Beijing Film Academy. In the end, he took a liking to Zhu Yilong, a junior of Gu Heng.
He was the right age, so we signed him immediately.
After all, Gu Heng had previously told him that "Detective Chinatown" was a series of films.
The main character is, of course, one of their own.
Tong Liya was also invited by Ning Hao.
Upon hearing that Vision Entertainment wanted to sign her, Tong Liya immediately agreed.
The main problem is her previous agency; it's truly a complicated situation.
It's a state-owned company, with a 9-to-5 work schedule, clocking in and out – perfect for retirement!
But the problem is, what's the deal with a female celebrity in the entertainment industry going to retire?
When there are no projects, I only receive a base salary of two or three thousand yuan per month.
What can it do?
So when Su Qing slammed a two million yuan check on the table...
Tong Liya went and terminated her contract herself, and quickly signed with Vision Group.
Meanwhile, Ning Hao himself also secured the investment for "Detective Chinatown".
The final share allocation is as follows: Vision Entertainment 40%, Ning Hao Studio 20%, China Film Group 20%, Huayi Brothers and Enlight Media 10% each.
Once the investment was finalized, Ning Hao led his team to Thailand in a flurry of activity.
They were even faster than Gu Heng.
As for encountering local bullies or procedural issues while filming in Thailand?
Gu Heng wasn't worried at all.
Anyway, people from China Film Group will be there to protect them.
August arrived in the blink of an eye.
The movie "Metallic Attraction: Kung Fu Cyborg," touted as China's Transformers, has finally been released with great fanfare.
Before its release, this movie was hyped up to the skies, with claims that it filled a gap in domestic science fiction and had explosive special effects. The publicity was overwhelming.
In the crew of "The Original Code," everyone has been gossiping about this during their breaks these past few days.
After all, they're making a sci-fi film now, so they need to scout out the enemy's situation.
"I heard there's a robot in 'Metallic Attraction: Kung Fu' that can do kung fu? It can even do Tai Chi with people!"
"Really? A Tai Chi robot? This sounds so unreliable..."
Everyone was itching to see what this thing was really like.
Seeing this, Gu Heng didn't bother with making everyone guess.
"Alright, alright, stop asking each other nonsense. You'll know whether it's a mule or a horse once you see it in the movie theater."
Gu Heng made a direct call to the cinema manager of Time Cinema.
We're renting out the entire theater and inviting the whole cast and crew to see it together!
Consider it a team building activity.
That evening, a bus carrying a large group of people headed straight for the Time Cinema.
Huang Xiaoming is finally no longer isolated. He sits next to Gu Heng with a bucket of popcorn, looking forward to watching the acting of "China's top science fiction".
When the movie ended, everyone was dumbfounded.
Why are all the special effects so cheap?
Can you believe this is a science fiction film made for 100 million?
And how come there's even a story about a sadomasochistic relationship between a human and a machine?
