Chapter 337 Dong'ao Island, The Shallows begins filming (23)

Two days passed in a flash.

8 month 29 day.

noon.

Shen Santong left Beijing and flew to Zhuhai.

The filming of “The Shallows” will start tomorrow, with the location shooting being at Dong’ao Island.

The crew members had already gone there, and the director and the female lead were going to rush there after attending the award ceremony.

Due to some matters, I was two days late.

on the plane.

Shen Santong murmured to himself: "The start date is not a good one, just postpone it for two days."

Fan Bingbing hit the nail on the head: "Two days is not enough, at least a month, so that you can have a good time all at once."

Shen Santong corrected: "On a hot day, it's normal to do some exercise to cool down."

Fan Bingbing continued: "Yes, double-layer ice and a large snow field, so you can have fun."

I really feel sad.

She endured Li Bingbing, but there was another Li Yu. How could this be possible?

Shen Santong couldn't stand her pretending: "You are obviously having a lot of fun."

8 month 30 day.

Dong'ao Island.

Shen Santong and local leaders attended the opening ceremony together.

The leader said: "Our Dong'ao Island is known as the 'rare emerald'. It is located in Zhuhai, the 'city of a thousand islands'. It is a beautiful island with unique rocks, beautiful waters, lush flowers and trees, and fresh air."

"The climate is pleasant, the vegetation is very lush, and the forest coverage rate is 80%. The white sandy beaches, blue waters, bright sunshine and the dense green forests on the island have created an almost perfect primitive natural environment on Dong'ao Island."

"There are both natural and cultural landscapes, such as Gun City, Honeymoon Pavilion, Dong'ao Bay, Cliff Carvings, Seeking Child Spring, and Stone Corridor. There are many scenic spots."

"During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were several thousand residents here, and there were agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing, and commerce."

"The war caused the population to migrate inland, and the island lost its former color, but it left behind the iron city and beacon towers built by the soldiers and civilians guarding the island in the late Ming Dynasty to resist foreign aggression."

"There are also the former site of the Japanese airfield during the Japanese invasion of China and some abandoned military tunnels."

The leader seized the opportunity to introduce the promotion to media reporters.

After the release of "Stone", Hongyadong became a hit and also aroused expectations from Zhuhai leaders.

Shen Santong's films are different from those of many current directors.

He is a constructor who can create beautiful cultural symbols.

Therefore, Zhuhai tried its best to give all reasonable support to the filming of "The Shallows".

As long as it does not damage historical relics, the scene construction required for filming will be carried out in cooperation.

Shen Santong said: "This movie is about a shark disaster, and it will use a lot of cutting-edge film technology. We developed our own cameras and other equipment for filming."

"In order to achieve better film effects, I will also build a small cinema chain. Only in this way can I iterate the technology as quickly as possible."

The direct reason why Shen Santong got involved in the cinema chain was that the cinema chain instigated Ning Hao, but it cannot be said openly.

He also wants to create a new image.

From the light of domestic films, he gradually transitioned to a domestic film technology fanatic, creating a more modern label.

Shen Santong talked about the reason for choosing Dong'ao Island as the filming location: "Our crew considered many places, and some creators advocated filming abroad."

"I'm pretty good at geography. We have almost all the landforms except the fjord landforms."

"I insisted on shooting in the country and finally chose Dong'ao Island."

"This place gives me the feeling of a paradise, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with blue water, green mountains and curling smoke from fishing villages." "I decided this is the place at first sight."

The local leaders couldn't stop smiling.

Question session with reporters.

A reporter asked, "Director Shen, you missed the Outstanding Director Award a few days ago and won the Best Actor Award. How do you feel?"

Shen Santong laughed: "I'm very happy that my acting skills have been recognized. I found that directors all have good acting skills, Director Feng and Director Zhang both have good acting skills."

"Ning Hao is the same. In the movie 'Car', he played the driver. I think a lot of people would laugh."

Upon hearing this, the reporters looked subtle.

No wonder Shen Santong didn’t forbid anyone from mentioning Ning Hao. Maybe he really didn’t care.

A reporter asked directly: "Director Shen, it is rumored that Ning Hao has left Locomotive Films. I would like to ask if this is true?"

"Also, what do you think about Ning Hao winning the Outstanding New Director award after you?"

Shen Santong took the initiative to confirm the news of Ning Hao's departure: "Ning Hao has indeed left the Locomotive Film Company."

The reporters in the audience pressed their shutter buttons and flashes flashed wildly.

Ning Hao left, and all kinds of rumors spread.

Many people scolded Ning Hao for being ungrateful.

Most of Ning Hao's fans were originally Shen Santong's fans, and their impression of Ning Hao has declined.

There are also some water armies who take advantage of the troubled waters and continue to make efforts.

Competitors from mainland China and Hong Kong film and television companies, disguised as Ning Hao's fans, cursed Shen Santong.

It is said that Shen Santong restricted Ning Hao's talent for black humor, and Ning Hao made a lot of money, but he did not get much of it.

Challenge normal people's values ​​and create divisions.

The real fans, a small minority of fans who really enjoy black humor and multi-line narratives, remained silent on the matter.

Movie fans are not the same as fans, and fans are not the same as brainless fans.

Anyone with a little conscience would admit that what Ning Hao did was not fair.

However, it remains in the speculation stage.

More than ten days have passed, and neither Ning Hao nor Santong Entertainment has responded.

In addition, a few days ago, Shen Santong awarded the prize to Ning Hao, and many people wondered whether the news of Ning Hao's departure was fake.

Some movie fans are unwilling to accept the news of Ning Hao's departure.

Shen Santong: "Ning Hao won the Outstanding New Director Award. I would like to express my best wishes. No matter where he is, he is a part of the domestic film industry."

"Ning Hao can start his own business, which means that the film and television industry has gained a lot of new forces and new funds, and the overall strength has grown, which is a good thing."

"I hope he will be good, and domestic films will be good."

The journalists were greatly disappointed.

I hope Shen Santong can give Ning Hao some sharp criticism.

The result was too peaceful.

No, Shen Santong, aren’t you angry?

Even if you are not angry, you can be sarcastic or say that if you can train one, you can train a second.

While the reporters were disappointed, they also felt Shen Santong's pride.

Shen Santong really doesn't care, he doesn't wield his knife against the weak.

Ning Hao is not qualified to be his opponent. Scolding him is a reward to him. The gap in their status is too big.
