Huayu: Starting with Hijacking from "The Story of a Noble Family"

Chapter 86 of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has wrapped filming; Director Skill Lv.3

After filming in Xiandu, Jinyun, Xu Heng and Liu Yifei followed the crew to Fangyan, Yongkang to film outdoor battle scenes, such as the battle against the water monster.

A few days later, Xu Heng and Liu Yifei arrived at Wufeng Academy in Yongkang to film the scene of Li Xiaoyao and Ling'er's first encounter.

This refers to the scene where Li Xiaoyao peeks at Ling'er taking a bath.

Today was also a day for media visits. After filming this scene, Xu, Liu Yifei, and other actors from the crew accepted media interviews.

A few days later, after filming in Fangyan, Yongkang, Xu Heng and Liu Yifei went with the crew to Shouxian Valley Scenic Area and Xiangshan Film and Television City to film some more scenes.

After filming wrapped, the crew returned to Hengdian on May 12 to reshoot some scenes and shots.

On the same day, Tangren also officially released the second batch of stills.

Seeing these stills, the film and television review section and the computer technology section of Tianya (a Chinese online forum) exploded again!

"Ling'er! My Ling'er!"

"Liu Yifei is so beautiful, she's exactly how I imagined Ling'er to be!"

"Liu Yifei's Ling'er is so ethereal! Although the peach blossom forest looks obviously fake, the overall effect is still quite good. Looking forward to seeing the full video!"

"Liu Yifei actually really captured the essence of Ling'er in the film!"

"Xu Heng is truly the chosen one for Li Xiaoyao; the stills are even more dashing and handsome than the previous promotional photos!"

"It's said that Xu Heng performed all his own action scenes in the drama, without using a stunt double!"

"Xu Heng knows martial arts?"

"Why change the storyline? Ling'er and Xiaoyao's wedding in the game isn't like this, and there's Ling'er's blue dress too!"

"Why are there only stills of Ling'er and Xiaoyao? Where are Lin Yueru and Anu? I'm looking forward to seeing An Yixuan and Liu Pinyan's looks after their roles are switched!"

"I still think adapting a game into a TV series would ruin a classic. No matter how good-looking the actors are, they can't capture the world of Legend of Sword and Fairy in my mind!"

"I hope the Legend of Sword and Fairy series isn't just turned into a pure romance drama; the core elements are the chivalrous spirit and the theme of destiny from the game!"

"Changing costumes at least twice a day is really tough! The crew is split into three groups for filming, so the schedule should be on track!"

Today is also the opening day of the 57th Cannes International Film Festival.

Wong Kar-wai's "2046" was nominated for the main competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival, as was the French film "Clean" starring Maggie Cheung.

Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers" was selected for the Special Screenings section, which is basically just for selling the film. It doesn't participate in the selection process. The Cannes Film Festival is also the world's largest film copyright trading market.

The overseas rights price and box office performance of "Hero" previously gave Zhang Yimou a lot of confidence, and he even thought that "Hero"...

They sold the overseas rights for a low price, so they made this film, "Dry Noodles Ambush," hoping to make another big profit.

Furthermore, it was reported three months ago that the Chinese rights to "House of Flying Daggers" had been successfully sold for 1000 million US dollars.

Initially, it was reported that Sony Columbia had acquired it, but later it was changed to Warner.

Wong Kar-wai and Zhang Yimou also brought almost all the main creators of "2046" and "House of Flying Daggers" to Cannes this time.

In addition, Xu Ke is also one of the judges for this year's competition, and the chairman of the judging panel is Quentin Tarantino.

Three days later, on May 15th, filming for "Chinese Paladin" officially wrapped up in Hengdian.

Filming officially started on March 31st and wrapped up on May 15th, taking only a month and a half.

That evening, the crew held a wrap party. As the party was about to end and they were about to part ways, Liu Yifei and Liu Pinyan hugged tightly.

Besides Xu Heng, Liu Pinyan was the person in the crew who had the best relationship with Liu Yifei.

The two women are close in age, and whenever they film together, Liu Pinyan is often invited by Liu Xiaoli to have dinner together. During breaks in filming, the two women also go shopping together.

After the hug, Liu Yifei immediately glanced at Xu Heng beside her, and even showed a proud expression.

Xu's expression showed no difference, but how could she not guess what she was thinking!

Liu Pinyan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Liu Yifei again, and then walked over to Xu Heng, giving him a hug as well.

At this moment, An Yixuan, who was not far away, also hesitated for a moment, but finally walked over.

Now that the drama has finished filming, she seems to have suddenly woken up from her dream, and it's time for some things to come to a conclusion.

"Xu Heng, see you again sometime!"

An Yixuan approached Xu Heng and smiled seemingly generously.

"Yes, see you again sometime."

Xu Heng smiled and nodded in agreement.

The two then hugged, and An Yixuan glanced at him again, then at Liu Yifei, before turning and walking away.

Xu walked away without looking at Liu Yifei; he didn't want to be looked down upon.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yifei let out a soft snort.

So what if she's a child? At least she doesn't attract attention like some people do!

Meanwhile, after filming "Chinese Paladin," Xu Heng finally used up the 2 skill points in the system.

It was also added to the Director skill, raising it from Lv.2 to Lv.3.

The skill he most wanted to improve in the system was definitely martial arts, since nothing was more important than physical health.

However, his current Lv.2 martial arts skill is a fully upgraded version obtained through skill points, which is sufficient for now.

The Director skill at Lv.2 is only a low-health version that he improves himself. By using skill points to upgrade it to Lv.3, it becomes a full-health version, which significantly improves him and has a greater effect!

Name: Xu Heng Age: 20

Skills: Cooking (Lv.4), Directing (Lv.3), Programming (Lv.3), Acting (Lv.3), Singing (Lv.3), Martial Arts (Lv.2), Screenwriting (Lv.2), Music Composition (Lv.2), Recitation (Lv.2)

Current target for hijacking: Li Xiaoyao, the male lead in the TV series "Chinese Paladin". Remaining skill points: 0

Remaining interception points: 1

After glancing at the system panel, Xu Heng thought for a moment and used up his last interception point.

Then, seeing the option to intercept, he immediately pouted in disappointment.

He thought he could snatch a movie this time, or even some great movies, since his directing skills are quite good now. But it turned out to be a TV series instead.

However, it seems that even if he manages to snatch a really great movie, it will be difficult for him to actually make it.

Moreover, he needs skill points; if the movie he hijacked had a high box office in his previous life, it would be harder to acquire them.

The next day, Xu Heng returned to Beijing, and at the same time, the media reported that filming for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" had officially wrapped up.

The box office revenue sharing for "Our Times" had already been fully received by this time.

内地票房6255万，扣除8.3%之后的可分帐票房是5735万，发行方和製片方拿40%就是2

294 million.

After deducting China Film's 6% distribution fee, the final amount received was 2156 million.

The copyright fees amounted to over 1200 million, with total revenue of approximately 3400 million, total costs of 700 million, and net profit of 2700 million.

Two days later, on May 18th, Sina Entertainment reported that Sony had officially acquired the US distribution rights to "House of Flying Daggers" for HK$100 million.

So far, the overseas rights to "Dry Noodles Ambush" have sold for nearly 200 million!

The Cannes Film Festival closed on May 23, with the film "Fahrenheit 911" winning the Palme d'Or.

Maggie Cheung won the Best Actress award for her role in the French film "Clean," and it's unknown whether Tsui Hark played a role in it.

Wong Kar-wai's "2046" received no credits.

These reports have reignited the excitement in the film and television sections of various forums and communities!

"Zhang Yimou is amazing! He sold the film's overseas rights for 200 million yuan before it was even released!"

"No wonder he's the top director in mainland China, or at least the top commercial film director!"

"House of Flying Daggers cost 3500 million US dollars, which is about 2.9 million yuan. It's just 9000 million yuan short of breaking even!"

"You actually believe the cost is 2.9 million?!"

"With Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Zhang Ziyi, the cast of 'House of Flying Daggers' is far inferior to that of 'Hero.' How could its production cost be higher than 'Hero'? Unless Andy Lau's salary exceeds that of Jet Li, and Takeshi Kaneshiro's salary exceeds that of Tony Leung, not to mention that 'Hero' also had Maggie Cheung, Donnie Yen, and Chen Daoming!"

"You can't believe almost anything Zhang Weiping says!"

"Congratulations to Maggie Cheung on winning the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress award! Winning the Venice Film Festival Best Actress award will complete her collection of Best Actress awards at all three major European film festivals!"

"It's such a pity that '2046' didn't win a single award!"

Two days later, on May 25th, Zhang Dahuzi held a press conference in Beijing to announce the official establishment of the TV series "The Return of the Condor Heroes" production team and the official start of pre-production work.

Simultaneously, nationwide casting for key roles such as Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu also began.

"You're not going to the premiere yourself, but you expect me to go!"

"You know I have something to do and can't get away. It just so happens that you're going to Hong Kong, and you can get an appearance fee. Plus, you can get your travel expenses reimbursed."

-

"Am I only doing this for travel expenses and appearance fees?"

"Now that the pay is higher, you look down on this little bit of money, huh?"

"You're here again, aren't you?"

"Is the Little Dragon Girl engagement confirmed?"

"What's settled?"

"hehe."

"Hmph."

"What method was used?"

"It's the method you mentioned, but it's not certain yet."

"How much did you send?"

"I don't know, it's handled by my godfather and agent, but they certainly won't let me lose money!"

After announcing the formation of the "Condor Heroes" production team, Zhang Da Hu Zi said he would visit Jin Yong in Hong Kong and attend the event on May 29th.

To celebrate ATV's 47th anniversary, the TV series "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" will be broadcast on ATV in July.

Liu Yifei, who plays Wang Yuyan, the "Fairy Sister," will attend ATV's anniversary celebration and promote "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."

Xu Heng wouldn't go, and Zhang Dahuzi hadn't invited him either, besides, he really had something to do.

It just so happens that "Our Times" will be released in Hong Kong on May 28th, and Media Asia will hold a premiere on the 27th.

Xu Heng was also unable to attend, so he asked Liu Yifei to make an appearance on the way.

Furthermore, he believed that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Chen Gandie and Liu Yifei's current agent, Liu Yonghui, should have already begun contacting Zhang Dahuzi regarding the role of Xiaolongnu.

Liu Yonghui is Zhang's boyfriend, the Hong Kong actress Zhang You who played Zhao Min in the movie version. It seems that the two even got married in their previous life.

Previously, he was the deputy general manager of Kyushu Asia Pacific. He just left the company in March of this year and was then poached by Chen Gandie to become Liu Yifei's agent.

Chen Qiandie has his own things to do and can't be his goddaughter's agent forever.

Besides, his position as agent is merely nominal; he has virtually no resources in the entertainment industry. Liu Yifei's current opportunities are mostly offered to her by others.

Now that Liu Yifei is popular, she should definitely find a professional agent for her.

However, Liu Yifei in this life is clearly more popular, has greater potential, and earns a higher salary than in the previous life.

Therefore, unless Chen Qiandie is stupid, he will not give Zhang Dahuzi Hongxingwu shares like he did in the previous life.
