Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 252 Hand of God

After Zhang Yimou joined the team completely, it seemed to bring good luck. The filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became smoother, and the entire crew began to travel around the country.

From Huizhou to Zhijiang, and then to Shanghai.

The original film was shot in the Old Beijing Miniature Landscape Tourist Area, but this place was not built until 94. Huang Ze was also generous, as he was originally planning to build a film and television city, so he built the scenery directly on the car dock, with a ratio of 1:15, for this filming.

After leaving Shanghai, the group went to the Bamboo Sea in Southern Sichuan, then turned to the Hexi Corridor and Cangyan Mountain in northern Hebei. After walking counterclockwise, the final destination was the Summer Resort in the north of the capital.

At this time, it had been nearly three months since the start of filming, and it was already early August.

Summer, the rainy season.

As soon as we arrived in Chengde and settled down, it started to rain.

It wasn't big, just a trickle, as if God couldn't stop peeing.

But the rain also forced the crew to stop working and stay in the hotel.

"Director Huang, I found a friend, and he asked a friend at the Meteorological Bureau, and he said this rain will last for three or four days."

"Oh!"

If any other director heard this news, he would probably be furious.

Because every day the entire crew stops working, a lot of money is flowing out.

There is no need to be afraid if the investors are angry. The key is that if the investment is not enough, it will not be easy to find more investment.

Except for a few directors, every director has to beg for investment from everyone.

It just so happens that Huang Ze, who is both a director and an investor in one, doesn't care about this.

How much more money can you spend if you take a few days off?

This is God's will.

"That's just right!"

"Everyone has been traveling a lot in the past two months. Take a good rest for a few days and recuperate. We will continue shooting when the weather clears up."

"Oh oh oh." Everyone cheered.

Ning Jing, in particular, was the one who screamed the loudest, because she was the one who suffered the most in the past few months.

There are quite a lot of fighting scenes, and they are quite difficult. Sometimes I have to hang in the air on wires for half a day.

Although there are quite a lot of fighting scenes between Li Lianjie and Xiao Fangfang.

But, can that be compared?
Li Lianjie has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has won many gold medals. The action directors invited by this film, Yuan Heping and Huang Ze, said that he is a "Kung Fu dictionary". He can do any routine with just one stroke and fight very smoothly. He is handsome and good-looking.

Xiao Fangfang never won any gold medals, but she learned a lot of things starting from kindergarten, such as ballet, horse riding, archery, and kung fu.

"Okay, everyone, go take a break."

"Tao Huimin, please stay for a while."

"Come with me." Huang Ze walked towards the parking space with an umbrella.

"Director Huang, where are we going?" Tao Huimin looked curious and tilted her head to look at Huang Ze, feeling a little more uneasy.

She had heard about some things in the Hong Kong film industry.

Director Huang, don’t you want it?

So how can I resist?
Should I call the police?

Tao Huimin pinched the edge of your clothes and let go after a few seconds.

Probably not?
During the filming, Director Huang didn't show any expression.

"Let's go to Beijing!" Huang Zecai said after getting on the car, "Don't you want to act in Romance of the Three Kingdoms? I'll recommend it to you."

"what?"

"No thanks." Tao Huimin shook her head quickly. "It's good to be able to get in, but it's not a big deal if you can't get in. How can I trouble Director Huang to make a special trip? No thanks."

Tao Huimin was a little flustered.

The most expensive thing in this world is favors.

What's more, it's too expensive to let myself join the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". "Who said I made a special trip?" Huang Ze smiled, "My company has cooperation with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and I am also a consultant for the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". They invited me to CCTV a long time ago, but I was busy filming, so I never went."

"It's impossible to make a movie, so I'll just go and take a look."

In fact, Huang Ze is a nominal consultant, so it doesn’t matter if Huang Ze doesn’t go for one day.

But aren’t we a community of interests between myself and the crew of Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

Huang Ze also knew how difficult it was to shoot this movie in the previous life. It took a long time to find the actors and it was very complicated.

In order to start making money as soon as possible, Huang Ze wanted them to start filming as soon as possible.

So I couldn't help but decide to use my "magic trick" to show them my ability in selecting actors.

Let them open their eyes.

"Hey, do you really not need me to recommend you to them?" Huang Ze asked Tao Huimin with a smile, "If you don't need it, I won't say it."

"Don't." Tao Huimin stopped Huang Ze anxiously, then smiled shyly, "That's Romance of the Three Kingdoms. If possible, I still want to play it, even if it's a very small role."

"Haha, what would it be like if I asked you to play Zhang Fei?"

"Princess Zhang?" Tao Huimin was puzzled. "I have only read Romance of the Three Kingdoms a few times. Who is this female character and in which chapter does she appear?"

"Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide."

"Wow." Tao Huimin gently hit Huang Ze, "I didn't expect Director Huang to play such a joke on me. I might as well play Guan Yu."

"By the way, Director Huang, you can actually play a role as well." Tao Huimin said.

"Who do you think I'd be suitable for?"

"Zhou Yu."

"anything else?"

"Cao..."

"Wait." Huang Ze raised his hand to interrupt Tao Huimin, "Cao Cao?"

"No." Tao Huimin shook her head.

"Cao Ren?"

"Not at all."

"Cao Zhen?"

Tao Huimin continued to shake her head.

"Is that Cao Shuang?"

"Hahaha!" Huang Ze couldn't help laughing after saying the four names of the Cao family. Tao Huimin, who was a little confused, could only laugh along and then said, "It's Cao Zhi!"

"You know what? It's possible, but I'm too busy. Apart from playing a role for more than ten minutes in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, the rest of them basically only appear for more than ten seconds in my films. I won't act in other people's films."

"Oh, I see!" Tao Huimin didn't recommend it anymore.

Chengde Mountain Resort is not far from Beijing. It only took Huang Ze half a day to arrive at CCTV and meet the director Wang Feng.

"Hey, why didn't you tell me? Are you planning a surprise attack?"

"Hahaha, it's raining and I can't shoot the movie, so I thought of bothering Director Wang for a few days."

"You're welcome." Wang Feng smiled. "We always welcome you to come. It would be great if you could stay a little longer."

"Come on, I'll take you to meet everyone." Wang Feng took Huang Ze to an office.

When I opened the door, there were more than a dozen people inside, and I had no idea what they were discussing.

When they saw that it was Wang Feng who came in, they stopped the discussion.

"Let me introduce to you, Consultant Huang Ze Huang."

"This is Director Wang Fuling."

"Hello, I've heard a lot about you."
