With the heroine settled, the film's preparations have accelerated.

Feng Xiaogang's filming team was quickly formed.The assistant director, assistant director, photography team, lighting team, props team, and recording team took shape one by one.

The shooting budget, script decomposition, and shooting plan were all slowly compiled into a book with the cooperation of the team.

For the selection of actors for other roles, the assistant director and assistant director also gave their respective target actors.

Among them, the big supporting role is Li Xiaoxia's younger sister. Shanhe didn't pay attention to the actor's audition anymore. He followed the assistant director and participated in the formulation of the entire shooting plan and budget.

Half a month later, Feng Xiaogang and Shanhe found Yu Dong with two thick filming budgets and filming plans.

"Yu Dong, we have basically made the budget and plan, when the funds will arrive, and you have to settle the location options as soon as possible, once the funds arrive, we will start to build the studio, and some indoor scenes can be shot first! "Feng Xiaogang handed the two booklets to Yu Dong.

Yu Dong took the two brochures and replied: "Just these two days, the company will review the budget as soon as possible, and the filming funds will be transferred to a specific account soon. China Film will have financial personnel join the crew, and I will lead people on location Make a list of the locations as soon as possible, and then you can choose by yourself!"

"The Olympic Bidding Committee will also send someone to join the crew to be in charge of communication. Director Feng, if you have any difficulties, you can go to him directly! Of course you can also ask me, but I can't guarantee that I will stay in the crew forever!" Shanhe confessed to Feng Xiaogang.

Feng Xiaogang nodded, "Then let's decide on the actor for my sister in the next two days! I looked at Li Bingbing and found that Li Bingbing is the most suitable. If you are older, you can wear makeup. What do you think?"

"I have no objection!" Shanhe agreed aloud.

Yu Dong naturally wouldn't object.

"Director Feng, you and Yu Dong decide on the rest of the roles, I won't ask questions!"

Shanhe followed Feng Xiaogang back and forth for nearly a month. The determination of exterior and interior scenes, shot planning, scene placement, props and costumes, and actor training were all basically completed.

The three main actors, Jiang Wen, Zhang Ziyi, and Li Bingbing, have also experienced their roles.

"Run it!The preparatory work for "Dad" has been completed, and the filming can finally start officially.

In more than a month, Yu Dong's publicity work has basically been rolled out, "Run!The news that the filming of "Father" started was widely circulated.

Written by Shan He, directed by Feng Xiaogang, starring Jiang Wen, Zhang Ziyi, and Li Bingbing, it was planned by the Beijing Olympic Bid Committee and produced by China Film.

"Run it!"Dad" can be said to be a well-educated film, and the filming of the film attracted collective attention from the media.

March , , "Run!Dad" launch press conference was held in China Film.

Sitting on the stage, Shanhe looked at the nearly reporters and all kinds of camera equipment in the audience, and he was amazed in his heart.

After more than a month of running around, it finally came to the shooting stage.

"Hi Shanhe, I'm a reporter from the National Youth Daily. May I ask where did you get the inspiration for this script? Is it because you joined the Beijing Olympic Bidding Committee? How much publicity do you think the movie has on the Olympic bid?"

"The creation of the script this time is indeed related to my becoming an Olympic bid ambassador. This movie is an inspirational sports-themed film. The main purpose is to promote the Olympic spirit, to let the world see the persistence of our sportsmen, and to promote the Olympic bid. , My source of inspiration is Wang Junxia, ​​the Olympic champion. I believe the film will bring joy and thinking to everyone. Faith is not only in sports, but also in every step of the runway in life!"

"Director Feng, you have never been exposed to sports-themed movies before. How confident are you about the film? Where does your confidence come from?"

Feng Xiaogang cursed in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, ""Run! Dad" is a sports-themed commercial movie. Just now Shanhe also said that the movie will bring joy and thinking to everyone. This script is very suitable for my shooting style. , from the first time I saw the script, my team and I entered the story. We spent a lot of time understanding and experiencing the middle and long-distance running events. The three leading actors all trained with the track and field team for nearly a month. , many famous long-distance runners have joined the crew to provide us with guidance, including Ms. Wang Junxia, ​​the world champion of heroine prototypes. We are confident that the excellence of the script will be transformed into a popular movie!"

...

"Director Jiang, this is your first public appearance as a banned director. May I ask if you will intervene in the director's work during the filming process? Are you satisfied with this role?"

"Listen well, I'm only starring this time, and the script is very good, I'm looking forward to the interpretation of the role!"

"Hello Zhang Ziyi, may I ask..."

"Excuse me, Miss Li Bingbing..."

Various questions from reporters lasted for nearly two hours.

After the press conference, the crew immediately rushed to Mentougou Middle School, where the old teaching building and playground from the 80s remain, and there is even a dirt track.

The next day, the crew started preparations for filming, and all units were checking equipment, scenes, group performances and other on-site issues.

At the same time, major media across the country reported on "Run!News of the filming of Dad.

The headline of the Youth Daily is: Shanhe helps publicize the Olympic bid, interpreting the legendary life of a long-distance running champion!
Dazhong Daily also made a brief report: Beijing's Olympic bid has entered the sprint stage, and the filming of a promotional video for the Olympic bid has begun in Beijing.

The titles of other newspapers and magazines are even more varied.

"Feng Xiaogang moved to the field of sports, fearing Waterloo!"

"The first close contact between Shanhe and Chinese films!"

"Zhang Ziyi is out of touch with Hollywood and turns to China..."

"Jiang Xiba's performance as a long-distance runner may compete with Feng Xiaogang for the control of the film!"

All kinds of reports are flooding the public's attention, "Let's Run!"Dad quickly left a deep impression on the public.

"Run it!The news of the filming of "Dad" has also attracted the attention of many book fans in Shanhe.

Shanhe's book fans have long been full of complaints against domestic directors. Shanhe's novels have been looted by Hollywood abroad, but no one cares about them in China. Book fans often complain about domestic directors on the Internet.

This time "Run!"The smooth start of filming of "Dad" gave fans of the book a way to vent their anger. They began to rush to speak and leave posts on the Internet.

"Shanhe has finally started to enter the film industry. I am full of expectations for him now. Domestic directors really can't bear to look directly at him. Shanhe has such a good subject matter, and he just pretends to be invisible!"

""Let's Run! Dad" sounds like an inspirational film, and the passion of "The Bottom Hot Girl" is coming again. Are you ready?"

"The lineup this time is really strong. Feng Xiaogang is considered a great commercial director. Jiang Wen is definitely a big star. Zhang Ziyi is also famous in Hollywood. Plus Li Bingbing, I heard that there are many veteran actors who will star in the show. , you can look forward to "Run! Dad"!"

"Didn't everyone pay attention? This is a promotional film for the Olympic bid. It is impossible for a promotional film to be promoted only in China. I can see that it will be released overseas..."

...

The overwhelming publicity has added a lot of anticipation to the public. Since the domestic film industry has fallen into a trough step by step, this is the first time that the shooting of a film has aroused public attention and expectations.

Seeing that the publicity effect is so effective, China Film Group is very interested in "Let's Run!""Dad" pays more attention to it!
On the other side, on the old playground of Mentougou Middle School, "Run!"The filming of the first scene of "Dad" is finally about to begin.

Shanhe stood behind Feng Xiaogang, watching the director making the final arrangements.

"Let's start!" Feng Xiaogang gave the order, and the entire film crew began to circle around Jiang Wen.

"Old City Middle School, the first round, the first time, get ready, action!"

With the sound of the recorder's voice, "Run!"The filming of the first scene of "Dad" has started.

Jiang Wen was made up to make him look younger by ten years. He trained the students on the playground with his hips on his hips, with the aura of a devil coach.

"Cut!" Feng Xiaogang suddenly yelled to stop shooting.

"How did you find the extras! Don't you know you can't look at the camera! Assistant director, go tell them about it!"

A few minutes later, the field recorder arranged the scene again, "Every department is ready, the first game of the old city middle school is the second time, preparation, action!"

In one morning, the entire crew only filmed three scenes, and they were all short scenes.

"That's it for the morning, let's have dinner! Let's continue in the afternoon!"

Jiang Wen took off the whistle on his neck and handed it to the props personnel nearby, and walked towards Feng Xiaogang.

"Xiao Gang, the progress is a bit slow! I took so many shots in one morning!"

"It's just the beginning. Let's have a good time, Old Jiang, be careful when you eat, don't mess up your makeup. In the afternoon, we will shoot the training scene between you and Ziyi!"

"Understood, I'll take a look at the shots in the morning to see if the effect is as expected. If not, you can take more shots!" Jiang Wen really has a desire to control.

Feng Xiaogang rolled his eyes at him angrily, "Lao Jiang, this is just the beginning, why are you in a hurry, I think you have been banned, and you are in a panic!"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the crew started today's shooting task again.

Zhang Ziyi and Jiang Wen entered the arena. After a month of training, Zhang Ziyi did have more of an athlete's temperament, and his skin darkened a lot.

After they lined up for a few minutes, they made a ready gesture to Feng Xiaogang.

"All departments are preparing, the first time in the fourth game of Old City Middle School, preparation, action!"

In the camera, Li Changchun, played by Jiang Wen, is severely scolding Li Xiaoxia, played by Zhang Ziyi, and his younger sister, played by Li Bingbing.

Shan He watched with great interest. The three actors performed well, and the photographer also controlled the lighting very softly. The overall feeling was good.

The entire film crew was involved, and suddenly Jiang Wen in the camera turned his head to the camera and shouted "Cut!"

Feng Xiaogang raised his head in a rage and shouted at Jiang Wen: "Old Jiang, what the hell are you doing! What's wrong with you!"

Jiang Wen walked up to Feng Xiaogang, looked back at the tape, "Ziyi's expression is wrong! She shouldn't be so stubborn. If you analyze and analyze, she should be a little afraid of her father! At least she behaved a little differently at the beginning. adapt!"

Shanhe watched the exchange between Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang, no wonder Jiang Wen was said to be difficult to deal with, and the reputation of drama bully really lived up to it!It's stuck when you say it's stuck, no mercy at all.

"Even if it's not right, you can't call it a block, not after shooting this one! Lao Jiang, I'm the director, and I'm the one calling the block. If you don't understand, it's hard for us to continue filming this scene!"

Jiang Wen didn't care about Feng Xiaogang's outburst, "I know you are the director, aren't we just working together, if it's not right, we can change it, filming is everyone working hard together, you can't talk about it!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Shanhe wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but before he could take a step, Yu Dong pulled him back.

"Shanhe, don't go there, they will come to this sooner or later, the crew's right to speak is clear, and they can't be dissuaded, let them quarrel and understand!"

In one afternoon, four scenes were planned, and two scenes were finally filmed. Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang exchanged words with each other all afternoon.

The atmosphere of the crew was a little gloomy.

Shan He was a little anxious, but Yu Dong was very calm.

"The two of them continue to quarrel and the progress cannot be completed. How can we explain to the Olympic Bidding Committee!" Shan He asked worriedly.

Yu Dong patted Shanhe's arm with a smile, "Don't worry, they are all old fritters, don't you know this, these two are testing each other's bottom line, it will be fine after a few days of running in, and when the crew is smooth, These few scenes will be made up soon!"

After Shanhe listened, he asked thoughtfully: "Yu Dong, does this happen when every movie starts shooting?"

"That's not true. With such a large crew, there are always high and low points. If it's a long-term team, it's naturally smoother. If it's the first cooperation, it's up to whoever decides first, not just the director, lighting, recording, Props and logistics are all like this, this time there will be a special situation, Jiang is notoriously difficult to deal with, but they will find a fit, they have to accommodate each other, whoever is more and who is less!"

Shanhe nodded, he has learned a lot!

The facts were exactly as Yu Dong expected, the two of them were still cursing during the next few days of filming, but the progress was obviously accelerated.

The bickering between the two seems to have become their way of communication. They are the most senior in the crew, and everyone has gradually become accustomed to this atmosphere.

"I'll cooperate with you again, I'm the grandson, Jiang Wen, you're not a thing, you know what it means to follow the script, you don't say it when you decide the script, and you add drama to me when you get here, what are you called?" Stealing the show, you know, it's too immoral!"

"Feng Pants, you know what talent is, don't you? It's rigid and dogmatic to plan everything! I'm inspired, what's the matter with the extra scene, let's put the facts and make sense, we can't say you are the director and ignore it Facts!"

"You are amazing, you are talented, but you have to follow the rules, everyone is like you! Besides, I don't know you yet, if there is one, there are three!"

"What the hell is playing the piano with you? Let's see the effect. If I'm wrong, yes, I apologize. If I'm right, then you can figure it out!"

...

Shanhe watched the two fight constantly, and after getting used to it, he even had some unique sense of joy!

Jiang Wen is so interesting!You could call him a show-stopper, he really has pursuits!

You say he has a pursuit, it's so irritating!

In the future, even if you kill him, you can't ask him to be the leading role!
