The only sun in Huayu

Chapter 54 Accidentally (14)

Zhang Yimou is the kind of director who is very good at capturing the unique qualities of actresses.

When casting, actors with expressive faces can often be picked out at a glance from a large number of photos.

Through the portrayal in the film, these traits are further revealed.

It can be said that the immense fame of "Zhang Yimou's Girls" is largely due to this.

Similarly, the actresses in Zhang Yimou's films are mostly second-tier or higher.

Similarly, there are "Stephen Chow Girls," actresses who also have stunning scenes, but they are not quite as good as "Zhang Yimou Girls."

Shen Shandeng's acting style differs from that of Zhang Yimou and Stephen Chow. He is better at discovering the star power within actors, making them shine.

The actual effects will have to wait until the film is released and tested by the market.

Based on Chen Hao's own experience, she really wanted to have her footage printed out.

She's already ordered several sets of stills, but she'll have to wait for the movie to be released to get the footage.

Perhaps one day, the actresses filmed by Shen Shandeng will be able to be called "Shen Girls".

Chen Hao longs to leave more wonderful moments on the big screen.

Therefore, he consulted her every few days, hoping to inspire Shen Shandeng and, ideally, to ignite his creative passion so that he would design more scenes for her.

"There will be an outdoor scene at the end, with a group bowing."

Shen Shandeng put on a stern face, maintaining his directorial authority.

Chen Hao was too enthusiastic, and he was really afraid of making a mistake.

He simply tried his best to bring out the best in the character without affecting the character's original setting, and combined that with the qualities that would make the star shine the most in the future, to enhance the film.

I was only doing the most basic work.

When audiences buy tickets to enter a movie theater, it's natural to want to make the movie as visually appealing as possible.

Not too disappointed by the rejection, Chen Hao asked a new question.

She compromised by trying to keep the footage she filmed in the later editing.

If he weren't an actor who couldn't interfere with post-production, Chen Hao would have loved to hold Shen Shandeng's hand and cut the scene.

Chatted.

Upon realizing that Chen Hao's request for advice was genuine, Shen Shandeng felt disrespected.

Try corrupting him with bad influences, and Shen Shandeng will definitely refuse!

"Director, I have a question too."

Da Mimi, not knowing where she got the information from, also came to ask for advice.

Shen Shandeng was helpless.

The cast and crew of "The Eunuch" had many students interning at the Beijing Film Academy, and there were secret agents of Yang Mi everywhere.

"Mimi, let go first."

Shen Shandeng told Da Mimi not to touch him.

The actress's desire for beautiful shots was underestimated.

"How could I treat you unfairly? Put your heart into the role, understand the character, and reduce the number of takes during rehearsals."

Da Mimi wanted to take a shortcut: "Ta-da~~"

"Hmm?" Shen Shandeng frowned: "What do you call them in the film crew?"

Da Mimi changed her tune: "Director."

Shen Shandeng nodded: "In the crew, we have a relationship as actor and director, which is completely innocent."

"I need to focus my energy on my creative work and not be distracted by other things. If I give my passion to you, it will drain my emotions."

Da Mimi was disappointed, but she accepted the result.

Shen Shandeng was different from usual when filming.

Shen Shandeng looked very handsome at that time!
At the same time, I am also very pleased that if Shen Shandeng can maintain this, even if he becomes successful in the future, he will be able to resist the temptations of actresses on set.

Shen Shandeng set an example, and the production crew ran better and better.

5 month 25 day.

Filming in Wuxi is complete.

Chen Hao, Zhang Zhijian, and other actors left the production.

Some scenes were completely finished filming.

Chen Hao still has outdoor scenes to film, so he will join the crew later.

The film crew moved to Dongyang, Zhejiang, and settled in Hengdian World Studios.

Fan Bingbing and Huang Xiaoming joined the production team one after another.

Chen Daoming, who made a cameo appearance, also joined the cast.

They were surprised to find that the atmosphere on the set of "The Eunuch" was excellent.

Both the crew's atmosphere and the creative environment are visibly vibrant.

From the lowest-level crew members to the core members, everyone is highly motivated.

Compared to Wuxi, the Ming and Qing Palaces in Hengdian were the core filming location for the "The Eunuch" production team.

The Ming and Qing Palaces were built on a 1:1 scale based on the Forbidden City in Beijing. They feature a vast complex of Ming Dynasty palace buildings, including the Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall, and Jinshen Hall, as well as royal gardens, city walls, corner towers, and princely residences.

With its magnificent scale and meticulous architectural details, it is the perfect choice for Ming Dynasty palace dramas.

At the same time, the Qingming Riverside Scene Scenic Area is also the best stage for the everyday life of ordinary people.

Based on the painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by Zhang Zeduan of the Northern Song Dynasty, the scenes of Bianliang City, streets lined with shops, arched bridges, wharves, mansions, entertainment venues, and city towers can also be used to depict the bustling urban life, gang activities, street chases and fights, and inn scenes of the Ming Dynasty.

The atmosphere is incredibly immersive, and the architectural style is consistent throughout. "I see."

Fan Bingbing quickly updated the crew's situation, her confidence in the project's success growing stronger.

Shen Shandeng is not only good at marketing, but also a capable person.

Fan Bingbing's eyes sparkled with wonder.

A launch ceremony has greatly eased her situation. Huayi's blacklist is over, and in order to distance themselves from her, they have even shown her goodwill in business.

"If the movie is a huge success."

Han Sanping's tone, the all-star lineup, and her own shining position as the female lead made Fan Bingbing gasp.

This is not about alleviating her predicament, but about opening up a whole new world for her.

This will greatly enhance her status and commercial value!
"sister."

Fan Bingbing's assistant reminded their artist to pay attention to her image.

After all, his girlfriend is there, so don't make it too obvious.

Don't get a fever on the spot.

"too strong."

Huang Xiaoming inquired about the film crew's situation from his fellow townsman Chen Hao and was deeply moved.

I feel incredibly fortunate and proud of my choice once again.

Staying despite the pressure from Huayi Brothers was the right thing to do!

Shen Shandeng's talent convinced him that he was on the side of the "future," making his sunny smile even brighter and giving him plenty of motivation to film.

"No wonder John Woo is under so much pressure."

Wang Jinghua, a top agent from mainland China, who came with Chen Daoming, was full of amazement.

"Young people are truly remarkable."

Chen Daoming appeared calm on the surface, but he was also deeply shocked inside.

"What I want is very simple: court life should have a sense of life."

The film crew settled down.

Shen Shandeng first held a small meeting with everyone involved, both in front of and behind the scenes, to clarify his requirements.

Compared to period epics or kung fu movies, the film "The Eunuch" has many entirely new settings.

Shen Shandeng wanted the plot to be simple, revolving around Chen Mo.

Therefore, palace dramas are very important, as they determine whether the audience can get into the story and follow Chen Mo's character.

"The more materials we look at, the more we realize that the lives of palace maids and eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty are similar to the lifestyles of today's migrant workers in Beijing and office workers in first-tier cities."

"He appears respectable on the surface, spends his time walking his birds and playing cards, earns more than the county magistrate, and has experienced the prosperity of big cities."

"But in reality, you're just a passerby. One day, you'll receive a resignation notice, or one day, you'll find the workstation next to you is empty."

Shen Shandeng said, "However, in the Ming Dynasty, this was the highest standard of living in the world. We tried our best to make our depiction as lifelike as possible."

"Simply put, living life requires a sense of normalcy. Even eunuchs and palace maids have to live their lives."

Although he hasn't experienced the hardships of pursuing awards overseas, Shen Shandeng can taste the sweetness.

The basic premise of pursuing prizes overseas is to lose; one's life is nothing more than a struggle for survival.

Although I don't know why these cultured people, who have many wives and concubines, earn high salaries, and are bored out of their minds all day and lead exciting lives, always have such a stern face, that's just their style.

Shen Shandeng, on the contrary, downplayed the darkness and intrigue of the court, focusing more on the joys and sorrows of life.

It's not that there's no pressure, but rather that there's no upward mobility, and all we hear about is the system and regulations.

A meeting of the cast and crew.

After the actors finished their discussion and exchange, they chatted casually.

Fan Bingbing and Huang Xiaoming are from the same hometown.

The two counted and found that there were quite a few people from Shandong in the crew.

Naturally, they also talked about Chen Hao from Qingdao.

Huang Xiaoming said, "The director's technique is amazing, and the costumes and props are top-notch. I'm already looking forward to Jiajing's scenes."

What was said in jest was taken seriously by Fan Bingbing. After learning about Chen Hao's performance these past few days, as well as the opening scene, Fan Bingbing felt a sense of crisis.

The female lead should be the most dazzling!

"Director, I have a question about the character of Cui Cui."

Fan Bingbing knew that Shen Shandeng had entered work mode and needed to start by handling things officially.

Once Shen Shandeng was tricked into the room, Fan Bingbing immediately turned hostile.

"stop!"

Shen Shandeng was shocked. What was this going to do?
That's not true!
A direct sneak attack!

It's no longer just bad social trends blowing in; it's like a tornado coming in.

"I can't lose to Chen Hao in the opening." Fan Bingbing, gentle and tender, transformed into a gentle fox spirit.

Shen Shandeng tried his best to stop him: "No!"

Female celebrities will do anything for beauty.

"cannon."

Fan Bingbing ignored him, humming softly and pointing.

In his haste, Shen Shandeng accidentally pressed his hand onto Fan Bingbing's hair.
