Life in the Light and Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

A single photograph and a fabricated news story once again exposed Wu Yang to the ways of entertainment reporters.

Its power is more of a hindrance than a help!

Fortunately, Leonardo DiCaprio's agent hired a security company as an external liaison when setting up the film crew in England.

This is how all the media were kept out of the production crew, preventing these profit-driven scoundrels from disturbing the actors' performance.

If the movie weren't so depressing, Wu Yang wouldn't have so coldly refused all interviews.

Wu Yang was so terrified by Leonardo DiCaprio's intense performance that he even contemplated suicide at night.

Therefore, Wu Yang tried to streamline the filming schedule as much as possible during filming.

The concern is that Leonardo DiCaprio, the sugar daddy, might commit suicide or break character to relieve stress.

While the former may have created a masterpiece, it also lost a good friend and Hollywood guide.

The latter, however, would affect the entire filming schedule, since the lead actor might break character midway through filming.

So even if you get back into character later, the performance will still deviate from the previous one.

You should know that this movie is going to the Oscars, to help Leonardo DiCaprio win that golden statuette.

Moreover, this film is essentially a one-man show for Leonardo DiCaprio, where he bears both the success and the failure.

Similarly, the film's overall quality and completion can be attributed to Leonardo DiCaprio's acting skills.

Fortunately, Leonardo DiCaprio's agent was quick to help and ordered a truckload of pastries and hot drinks over the phone.

Send it to the entertainment reporters waiting in the cold wind, and then use the same methods as promoting the movie to let them go home with a full load of money.

Who says foreigners don't understand social etiquette? They just like to use "sincerity" or "friendship" to cover it up.

It's also possible that their vocabulary contains absolutely no words related to human relationships or social customs.

To keep the filming schedule in order and to maintain Leonardo DiCaprio's condition, Wu Yang required all supporting actors to stay with the crew for filming.

As a result, the film's budget was increased by another $200 million to pay for all the supporting actors' salaries.

The actors arrived and left together every day, and their rapport grew stronger, which greatly facilitated the filming schedule.

As a result, Wu Yang's filming schedule was also streamlined from the original 45 days to 35 days.

Saving 10 days saved $400 million just in expenses for the crew's food and supplies.

Compared to the extra $200 million paid, the budget was actually saved by $200 million.

The film originally had a budget of 2000 million, with public relations costs to be calculated separately. It was independently invested by Leonardo DiCaprio's studio, and he still acted in it for free.

Wu Yang provided the script and talent, and received a reward of $800 million, as well as 20% of the total global revenue.

The supporting actor's salary plus the film's production cost was 1200 million, and the original shooting time was 45 days.

The main roles in this shoot were all handled by Wu Yang's team, yet they remained largely unknown.

So the total cost for the team of 8 behind-the-scenes managers, 42 locally recruited crew members, and 50 people was only $200 million.

Compared to Hollywood's top-tier behind-the-scenes teams, it's 5 times cheaper!

Even so, Pang Hai and the others were ecstatic, since this overseas filming trip was a huge financial success.

While in China, they worked with Wu Yang and filmed two movies last year.

Compensation is based on responsibilities and abilities, and is also determined according to the market rate for behind-the-scenes teams in China.

The fee for each film ranges from 10 to 30, although it is now 5 times lower than that of the industry average.

Although the pay is the same as what they get in China, don't forget that 1 dollar can be exchanged for more than 6.3 yuan.

Compared to domestic levels, income has increased sixfold and then turned around.

Filming only took 35 days, and the film production environment here is very friendly to the behind-the-scenes team.

Not only do they work 8-hour days, but they also receive overtime pay for hours worked beyond that.

Now that they've saved $200 million, Leonardo DiCaprio's studio hasn't taken it back; instead, they plan to use it to refine the film's details.

Therefore, their income is naturally included in this fee.

Since they were all part of Wu Yang's team, they naturally centered around Wu Yang.

Despite her halting foreign language skills, she managed to organize the film crew in an orderly manner.

Of course, if you find someone cheating or lacking ability, you can contact the guild here to replace them.

With the security company in place, no one dared to cause trouble on set.

……

December 2010, 2.

From preparing the crew to selecting actors, and finally completing filming, it took a total of 43 days.

There is no concept of a "wrap party" in Hollywood tradition, so after filming wrapped up yesterday.

The crew disbanded that same day, and the supporting actors went their separate ways. Several actresses who were interested in Wu Yang even invited her to dinner.

Wu Yang had absolutely no interest in women who exuded a repulsive body odor.

The agreement was that Wu Yang would rest for a month before returning to the US to oversee the film's post-production.

The producer was responsible for overseeing the film reels before boarding the plane back to the capital.

Wu Yang specifically instructed his agent to keep a close eye on Leonardo DiCaprio.

Three days before filming wrapped, Leonardo DiCaprio's mental state was on the verge of collapse!

Even the final scenes about mutual redemption couldn't completely bring Leonardo DiCaprio to peace.

On the contrary, it exudes a sense of sophistication, as if one has seen through the illusions of the world.

The footage turned out perfectly, but Wu Yang was also very worried that Leonardo DiCaprio wouldn't be able to get out of character.

"Don't worry, Wu. Leonardo only needs to spend a week at Victoria's Secret to recover his form! He has experience with this kind of thing."

These are the words the agent said to Wu Yang as he was leaving.

The thought of Leonardo DiCaprio and his joke about having an 18-year-old girlfriend every year made Wu Yang feel like he was eating salty radishes.

2 month 5 number.

At 2:25 p.m., Wu Yang and his team quietly disembarked from the plane.

Apart from Pang Hai and Wang Hui, who are both from Beijing, the other six are from other places.

They can simply use the pre-booked tickets and leave on different flights, since the roadshow starting tomorrow doesn't require the involvement of the backstage team anyway.

As soon as Wu Yang, Pang Hai, and Wang Hui stepped out of the airport exit, they were recognized and surrounded by entertainment reporters who had been waiting outside the airport.

As the Spring Festival approaches, many celebrities from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong will gather in Beijing to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

So recently, many entertainment reporters have been staking out the airport 24 hours a day, and they've even skipped the New Year for the sake of bonuses.

"Director Wu, according to British media reports, has filming wrapped on 'Manchester by the Sea'?"

"Director Wu, did you rush back to attend the premiere of 'Love Like a Bouquet'?"

"Director Wu, Avatar broke the box office record of 13.6 billion yuan. Are you confident that you can break it?"

"Director Wu, it's rumored that you and Liu Yifei have secretly had a child. Is that true?"

"Director Wu..."

The already busy airport was thrown into brief chaos by the encirclement and harassment of these entertainment reporters.

The presence of onlookers, who enjoy watching a spectacle, drew gasps of surprise from many.

Wu Yang quickly shouted, "Everyone, please don't push! I'm willing to be interviewed. Please be mindful of the elderly and children. Can we go to the exit, to a less crowded area?"

Pang Hai, as the director's assistant, immediately stood in front of Wu Yang to protect her.
