The only sun in Huayu

Chapter 44 A Stunning Cast! (Third Update!)

Wuxi is the same Wuxi that was one of the "Three Outstanding Figures of Suzhou" in later generations, along with Changzhou.

Wuxi Film and Television City.

Located on Shanshui West Road, Binhu District, WX City, JS Province, it covers an area of ​​100 million square meters and has a water area of ​​200 million square meters.

In 1987, Wuxi Film and Television City began construction as a filming location for the TV series "Journey to the West". Subsequently, Tang City Scenic Area was built due to the TV series "Emperor Tang Ming". Three Kingdoms City Scenic Area was built due to the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Water Margin City Scenic Area was built due to the TV series "Water Margin".

Although there are still many film and television shooting locations such as European City and Grand Mansion, the main focus is on the ancient architectural complex with the cultural background of the Three Kingdoms and Tang and Song Dynasties, with the Three Kingdoms City, Water Margin City and Tang City as the main attractions.

"The Eunuch" is a drama set in the Ming Dynasty. The Wuxi Film and Television Base was chosen mainly to film the scenes of "investigating the Jiangnan case" because the Wuxi Film and Television Base is located near Taihu Lake and has unique water features.

The Liangshan area of ​​Water Margin City, with its "Song Taigong Courtyard" and "Zhang Dujian Mansion," features a rockery made of Taihu stones of varying heights and a covered walkway surrounding a pond, making it a great place for taking photos.

There are actually better filming locations, such as the bamboo forest path of the "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" in the Grand View Garden in Shanghai, which is readily available, but there are equipment limitations.

Taking all factors into consideration, the garden scenes and dialogue related to the Jiangnan case were filmed at the Wuxi Film and Television Base.

As for action scenes, there are more things to consider, such as whether there is enough space to set up wires, which pools are suitable for filming water fights, and the requirements are higher.

Inside a Ming and Qing dynasty-style building within the film and television base.

In front of the newly built government office scene, which has a distinct Ming Dynasty style.

The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, the corridors are vermilion, the eaves are upturned, and the air is filled with the smell of new wood and paint, as well as the weight of history.

Auspicious time in the morning.

The morning light in early summer in Jiangnan carries a hint of warmth, but it is not yet hot.

rest area.

"Director."

Shen Shandeng greeted the guests, and Han Sanping was addressed in the same way.

What good is a promotion if you don't have enough capable people under you?
We still have to rely on him.

She then greeted Chen Daoming with a broad smile: "Teacher Chen, thank you so much for coming."

His attitude towards Han Sanping was not entirely consistent with his attitude towards Han Sanping, but it was completely opposite, and he was unusually enthusiastic.

Han Sanping's lips twitched slightly, but he still had to put on his signature smile.

Just wait, today he'll show this young comrade what a sneak attack is like.

"Director Shen, you're too kind. It's only right that we do something for Chinese cinema."

Chen Daoming, who made a cameo appearance, only slightly moved his eyes, but he was utterly horrified inside.

Shen Shandeng is something else! He dares to treat Zuo Shandiao so disrespectfully; he's no ordinary young director.

Zhou Qifeng excitedly followed behind Shen Shandeng, helping to serve tea and water.

After several months of training, he has shed his naivety and become much more mature.

But immersed in the solemn, professional, undercurrent-filled, and highly anticipated atmosphere, it was still hard to control the excitement and agitation.

This is not just the start of filming for a movie; it's more like a manifesto-like gathering of new forces in Chinese cinema.

And this was actually accomplished step by step by his own senior brother.

It felt like a dream; Zhou Qifeng was afraid of waking himself up because it was so beautiful.

We entertained our distinguished guests.

Shen Shandeng then quickly and quietly spoke with the core members of the production team.

The team included people from Beijing Film Studio, industry veterans recruited with the help of Enlight Media and Bona Film Group, and experienced post-production staff recruited by Wu Jing from the Hong Kong film industry.

Shen Shandeng was very satisfied with the inspection process and the volunteer team composed of senior students from Beijing Film Academy.

He may lack practical skills, but he is of high moral character, meticulous, polite, and possesses the spirit of a young person.

Shen Shandeng's eyes swept across the entire room, ensuring that everything was running according to his designed process.

The opening ceremony was much more grand than the launch ceremony.

The central area was covered with a red carpet, with a huge poster of "The Eunuch" in the background, the design of which incorporated the movie logo.

The poster in the very center is very similar to the one at the launch ceremony, but it is not the yin-yang design of the launch ceremony.

Chen Kun, dressed in a bright red python-patterned robe, and Wu Jing, also dressed in a formal flying fish robe, stood side by side, their gazes subtly focused on a point in the distance.

In addition, there are several individual posters and group posters, with the logo of the main production company, China Film Group, being the most prominent feature on each poster.

A long altar table covered with red velvet was placed at the very front.

On it was an Arriflex 435 main camera covered with a red cloth, an incense burner, and traditional offerings such as fruit and pastries, but no roast suckling pig.

On either side of the offering table are rest areas, with dozens of folding chairs neatly arranged, serving as seats for the main creators and actors.

The surrounding area was cordoned off, but it was filled with cameras and recording equipment, and reporters had already secured advantageous positions, making the scene larger and more professional than that of the launch ceremony.

Entertainment, film, and social news media all gathered together.

The spotlight is on.

The area surrounding the area was packed with onlookers.

There were student volunteers in red, as well as crew members in uniform with the same logo, and other crew members from the base, tourists who came after hearing the news, and local residents.

"Wow, Fan Bingbing is so beautiful, her face is so fair."

"Huang Xiaoming is really energetic."

"Wu Jing still has that baby face, so young and tender." This was said by an older woman.

"This production crew is amazing, they're all big names."

"Chen Hao is here too, and with Fan Bingbing, that's amazing!" "That must be Shen Shandeng, right? He's really young, and his bold statement 'A weak country has no art' is quite spirited."

There was a crowd of people, and everyone was talking.

Not only the audience, but also the celebrities and their agents were deeply moved.

"Sister Xiaowan, I seized this opportunity correctly, didn't I?"

Chen Kun's tone carried a hint of arrogance, which greatly disrupted his unique artistic temperament, which was tinged with melancholy and profundity.

"Amazing."

Li Xiaowan was amazed and didn't know how to express it, only saying that the younger generation is truly formidable.

Han Sanping attended in person, Chen Daoming made a cameo appearance, and a host of celebrities including Chen Kun, Wu Jing, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, and Chen Hao participated.

When the "The Eunuch" production team demonstrated its influence, even she, who was used to the ups and downs of the industry, was shaken.

Shen Shandeng actually managed to set up this situation.

"My fellow villager is amazing."

Huang Xiaoming wore a well-tailored casual suit, his hair was perfectly styled, and his smile was sunny with a hint of deliberately maintained "handsomeness," secretly pleased with his choice.

Last month, he joined Huayi, but they failed to invest. In addition, Shen Shandeng was close to Fan Bingbing, who had "defected" from Huayi, and they wanted him to withdraw from the project. Even the Li Bingbing sisters put pressure on him.

Huang Xiaoming did not agree, as such a move would offend too many people.

He has the power to refuse. He is not an ordinary artist; he is the "Number One Leading Man in Mainland China" whose popularity is rapidly rising. He joined Huayi for a reason, but it is also a cooperative relationship.

However, although he likes to do favors, he also hopes that the other party can demonstrate a certain level of capability.

Looking at it now, Shen Shandeng's strength has exceeded expectations.

"Chairman Han."

Huang Xiaoming, with his sharp eyes, noticed an opening around Han Sanping and quickly ran over, squatted down to chat with him, and smiled like a landlord's silly son.

The radiant Fan Bingbing is dressed in a carefully coordinated fashionable suit.

Neither too formal nor too casual, with impeccable makeup and her signature confident smile, she became one of the most dazzling stars at the event.

Carrying the immense buzz of her solo career and the establishment of her own studio, her appearance triggered screams from fans and a barrage of camera flashes from reporters.

But her gaze would occasionally drift to the figure in the center of the crowd, a figure radiating an aura of unwavering composure amidst the fleeting shadows of the crowd.

It contains the power of mountains.

She witnessed that power again last night.

Fan Bingbing suppressed her fiery emotions; Shen Shandeng was too formidable, his professional skills were too strong and outstanding.

As expected, "Apple" is unlikely to be released, which is a crucial period for her to prove herself after leaving Huayi Brothers to go solo.

She sat with Zuo Shandiao, the big boss of the film industry, and besides Chen Hao, they were surrounded by A-list stars such as Wu Jing, Huang Xiaoming, and Chen Kun.

The presence of Chen Daoming, who is known for his low profile, is itself a tacit endorsement of the project's quality and Shen Shandeng, or rather, China Film Group.

Fan Bingbing's business acumen allowed her to reap huge benefits from this launch ceremony.

what is this?
These are all top-tier connections within the industry, a testament to their status and influence.

Moreover, the reputation gained from this is upright and clean, and there are no side effects from eating it.

Fan Bingbing looked at Shen Shandeng with the same gaze that the White Bone Demon had for Tang Sanzang, and involuntarily swallowed.

They met each other's gazes.

The "heartthrob" remains as charming as ever, with a sweet and friendly smile and impeccably dressed.

They caught a familiar scent from each other.

Chen Hao looked back with a smile in his eyes.

Fan Bingbing and Chen Hao exchanged polite but restrained glances.

in the corner.

Da Mimi stared at Shen Shandeng with dazzled eyes, her adoring gaze penetrating and undisguised.

She used her acting skills to tell everyone that this was her man.

Shen Shandeng is flying too fast; I don't feel safe.

Yang Mi occasionally made eye contact with Fan Bingbing, Chen Hao, and others.

Chen Hao's smile froze slightly, but he acted as if nothing had happened.

After all, she was just craving it, but she didn't actually do anything. She longed for a respectable kind of love, but she had her bottom line.

Taking small advantages is just playing around, it doesn't count.

Fan Bingbing remained unmoved.

She didn't steal the other woman's man.

She only has the right to use it occasionally, for half an hour, an hour, or a few hours.

"Senior brother."

Zhou Qifeng whispered a reminder that it was almost time.

Shen Shandeng frowned slightly: "What should we call each other on set?"

"Director Shen," Zhou Qifeng immediately corrected himself, "Director, it's almost time."

Shen Shandeng then nodded slightly.
