New Age Artists

Chapter 469: Ordinary, Brilliant, Spectacular (12)

10 month 29 day.

The Thailand scenes of "Inception" have been filmed and are now moving on to domestic scenes.

on the plane.

Shen Santong asked his assistant with a slightly tired look: "Give me the news summary."

It’s not that I’m tired from running a bank.

It's filming.

The damn Robert ran away, and the filming plan had to be rearranged. The replacement actor was nearly thirty years old.

There are discrepancies in the settings, so the props need to be redesigned.

In addition to filming, I also have to deal with the company's daily documents.

Shen Santong plans to make one play a year in the next two to three years, and be a producer for the others.

The work intensity of both plays is too high.

In order to keep the Hong Kong circle alive, Wang Jing has to shoot several dramas every year.

Shen Santong wants to give opportunities to top mainland actors and also works at a high intensity.

Of course, staying on the crew for about four months a year, and having people visit you from time to time to offer their consolation, is much better than being a civil engineer in my previous life.

The assistant handed over the private and public reports in the circle that had been prepared earlier to Shen Santong.

Shen Santong took a few glances.

In Hong Kong, Lizzy retired from the entertainment industry and the financial media broke the news.

Here in mainland China, there is something fun in the cultural circle.

Yan Chongnian, the main speaker of "One Hundred Schools of Thought", participated in the signing event on October 10.

At 14:30 p.m., a man in his twenties slapped Yan Chongnian in the face while he was signing autographs.

Afterwards, Yan Chongnian firmly denied that the "beating at the signing event" was caused by an academic dispute.

The reason is that, first of all, both parties must be scholars and engage in academic research. Secondly, they need to expound their academic views and have a process of argumentation, analysis and logical reasoning.

Yan Chongnian defended himself by saying that he was a stranger to the murderer and they had never argued about it, so he thought it was not an academic debate.

Yan Chongnian said he was not opposed to academic debate.

However, one must meet three conditions: major in Qing history, have academic monographs in the field of Qing history research, and have experience in participating in international academic seminars.

Shen Santong was in a good mood and laughed out loud.

After getting off the plane, I immediately went online and commented on this matter: According to expert Yan, the massacre promoted national integration.

I would like to ask timidly whether this young man also used slaps to promote communication between each other?
The comment section was immediately flooded with netizens vying for the spot.

Teasing him that he finally found the account.

When the assistant saw the content, he felt dizzy.

Do you know what kind of people are popular in the circle?
Quickly reminded: "Someone will call you soon."

Shen Santong yawned and said, "I'm on the set, I just got off the plane. Please don't disturb me."

I didn’t go to the crew, and returned to the domestic crew to rest.

Shen Santong first returned to the company to arrange the promotion of "Lost on Journey".

"It will be released in January, so we need to speed up the publicity and promotion. We need to make it a hit during the Spring Festival and release it with all our strength."

"This time, it's Chinese New Year, the premiere needs to be lively, and the performances are arranged."

"I see there's a long-legged girl group in Korea that's quite popular. We can invite them to perform."

in the afternoon.

Shen Santong joined the group ahead of schedule.

Continue shooting the domestic scenes of "Inception".

Shoot in groups.

For the scene, Shen Santong required that the tone of the film should be a blend of modern mystery and ancient culture, ancient civilization and advanced technology, forming an amazing "Inception".

Like the rising sun, ancient and new.

It is also necessary to show that it is not powerful because it is ancient, but ancient because it is powerful.

The script only needs a few sentences to describe it, with at most an adjective.

But it takes a lot of work to present it on screen.

638 relevant scenes were filmed.

Shen Santong personally came out to greet someone: "Teacher Li, thank you for coming to help."

Teacher Li Xuejian is an artist.

Whether it is performance or personality, everything is impeccable.

Li Xuejian was worried that he wouldn't be able to do well: "My voice is not good, and I'm afraid it will delay the director's performance."

Shen Santong admires the spirit of the older generation.

This was also the issue when we communicated before.

In 00, Li Xuejian was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer and took two years to recuperate.

Shen Santong's films usually only use the original soundtrack, but Li Xuejian's films are an exception.

I shot a few scenes and it was extremely smooth.

Li Xuejian plays the protagonist Li Weiguo's master, who is also the director of the 638th Bureau.

In Shen Santong's design of the extraordinary universe, the director of the 638th Bureau is the kind of person who, when Thanos or the Great Sage comes, will give a red-headed document saying that one cannot become extraordinary.

It seems ordinary, but in fact it is unfathomable.

Shen Santong's organizational structure for Bureau 638 also fits this point.

It's not about putting a bright logo on black cars running around everywhere, nor is it about putting a big and majestic sign on the door for fear that others won't know it, nor is it about wearing a 638 work suit and shooting birds in the zoo for fear that others won't know it's 638.

Instead, it has various branches all over the country, usually under the name of scientific research institutes, hiding in the city.

Sometimes, there are even signs of marriage registration office/social security office/street office.

In short, the close-up shot shows a pair of protective gloves, and the further-away shot shows a pilot flying a J-20. On the ground is a folding chair commonly seen in food stalls.

In a few seconds, the astronauts who are about to fly into space will sit on it.

People suddenly realized that those were not ordinary gloves, but gloves worn by the country's most powerful pilots.

That's not just any folding chair, it's an astronaut's folding chair.

The shots that Shen Santong designed for the members of Bureau 638 were them chatting about daily necessities and then casually entering a room.

Directly through the workroom, facial scanning and fingerprint verification are performed, and then an elevator is taken to the 638th bureau at the bottom.

The last moment, ordinary people.

The next moment, I stopped pretending.

This kind of performance requires a very high level of performance from the Director of Bureau 638, he has to act out that kind of feeling.

Shen Santong couldn't help but admire Li Xuejian's acting ability.

Just standing there simply wearing a Zhongshan suit, the picture is clear.

Really well acted.

Li Xuejian is a person who can play any role.

Director Chen plays himself in every role.

It’s not that I’m not good at any role, it’s also a skill.

It is beneficial for the actor's own development and it is easy to attract fans.

But from a technical point of view, of course, he is great at acting in any role.

Among all the actors Shen Santong has worked with, Li Xuejian is the only one who makes him feel superior to Feng Yuanzheng.

It can wrap up the play tightly and perform it more naturally.

Li Xuejian rarely speaks except when acting.

One day.

During the break, he said to Shen Sandong: "Your script is interesting."

Shen Santong understood what Li Xuejian meant: "We are here to be the savior. We also learned this from Hollywood. If they can make a movie, we can try it too."

Li Xuejian smiled.

Shen Santong knew about it, and Li Xuejian found it strange.

Not just Li Xuejian, everyone else is finding it novel.

There are also concerns.

Many creators were worried that the audience would not be able to accept Dongda as the savior.

The crew transitions.

Shen Santong's play was supported by relevant ministries and utilized part of the 816 cave project.

On April 02, 4, the relevant departments agreed to declassify Project 8.

Now, discussions are underway to open up to the outside world.

Shen Santong needed such a scene, and after some communication, he chose this place.

The effect of good reputation.

Shen Santong's drama was filmed very well and the scenes were beautiful, so both the local authorities and relevant units were willing to cooperate.

The 816 Project site is located in Baitao Street, Fuling District, CQ City, close to the Wujiang River and backed by the Wuling Mountains.

Construction was approved in 66.

The project took eight years to dig the tunnel and nine years to install the equipment, with a total investment of RMB 8 million.

More than 6 people were involved in the construction, and the project went through four stages: urgent construction, slow construction, suspension of construction and conversion of production.

The 816 Project ruins have an axial length of more than 20 kilometers and are completely hidden inside the mountain. The cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, with a constant temperature throughout the four seasons.

The total construction area is 10.4 square meters, the main cave chamber is 79.6 meters high and the arch span is 31.2 meters high.

There are 18 large caverns in the cave, more than 130 roads, guide tunnels, branch tunnels, tunnels and shafts, and the architectural layout is like a maze.

There is a cave in the cave, a building in the cave, and a cave in the building.

The shooting officially begins.

After reading the materials, Shen Santong found that it was better than expected.

If he were asked to build this thing, it would be so funny that he has no ability at all.

It was less than 800 million at that time, and now it may have to add two zeros.

Shen Santong was in it and seemed to be able to feel that era.

The participants didn't even know where the place was. They just received the task instructions and put in their sweat and hard work here.

Some people stayed here forever.

This power is something that Shen Santong cannot fabricate; it is something that only real people possess.

He only used the camera to restore one or two percent of the scene, and the spirit of the movie came out.

Shen Santong couldn't help but sigh again.

The culture is really too weak.

It is clearly a glorious peak of Chinese civilization since modern history, but it has been repeatedly deconstructed.

The scars come to mind as soon as they are mentioned.

This word, damn, was coined by the United States.

It was not created by the students of Dongda University at that time, but by Lu Xinhua after the publication of the short story "Scars".

The American Press published an article and used the term “scar literature” for the first time.

It became popular in the country only after Cankao Xiaoxi reprinted the article.

Shen Santong looked at the project in front of him, which could be described as a spectacle. No trace of any damage was visible.
