Chapter 842 840, Wandering Earth

"The Wandering Earth" was filmed in two parts at one time, and the total investment was advertised as 250 million US dollars, but the actual investment was only 1.2 billion RMB, of which 200 million was for publicity and promotion.

In other words, Yang Hao could only use 1 billion RMB in production funds.

With little money, he had to do things beautifully.

In desperation, Yang Hao could only use his influence to play some tricks. For example, big-name actors don't have to stay in the crew all the time. They will come when you have a notice, and they will finish the filming. I will pay you the movie salary for the number of days you work in the crew.

Zhang Guoli, a big-name actor in China, was the first victim of Yang Hao's tricks.

June 1, 2012, 4 a.m.

Hengdian Film and Television City was still in a quiet atmosphere. Zhang Guoli, who came out of the Hengdian International Conference Center Hotel, got on the service car provided by the "The Wandering Earth" crew.

In the car, there was a beautiful girl.

The girl wore blue jeans, a red short-sleeved T-shirt, and her cardamom-painted toenails showed through her crystal-colored high-heeled sandals, making her look playful and cute.

Because she got up early, she was a little confused, but when she saw such a beautiful woman in front of her, Teacher Zhang Guoli was no longer sleepy.

"Director Wang, I'm about to go to the crew to put on makeup. You have to tell me what role I play in "The Wandering Earth"?"

"Of course!"

As Yang Hao's exclusive executive deputy director, Wang Tingting seemed smart and capable at this time. She took out two pages of paper from her bag and handed them to Zhang Guoli who was sitting next to her.

"Teacher Guoli, the role you are going to play in the movie is Han Ziang, Han Duoduo's grandfather, Liu Qi's grandfather, and Liu Peiqiang's father-in-law."

"Liu Peiqiang's father-in-law..."

Hearing this fixed title, Zhang Guoli was slightly stunned, and then he was surprised: "What? Yang Hao actually asked me to play the father-in-law of Qinglong. This is not okay. This is not okay. If we talk about the actual age, Brother Qinglong is one year older than me."

"Ahem..."

Seeing Zhang Guoli's direct refusal, Wang Tingting coughed twice, cleared her throat, and smiled slightly:

"Teacher Guoli, you are going to play the father-in-law of Liu Peiqiang. , not Liu Peiqiang's father.

Well, let's put it this way.

When Mr. Yang Zhenning, our consultant for this film, married his lover Weng Fan in 2004, Mr. Yang was 82 years old, his lover was 28 years old, and his father-in-law was 56 years old.

So, there is no problem for you to play the father-in-law of Brother Qinglong. Of course, we will also make you look older in the movie. "

Although he said so, Zhang Guoli still wanted to refuse, but before he opened his mouth, he saw Wang Tingting took out a recorder from his pocket and played the recording.

"Teacher Guo Li, I'm Yang Hao.

I know you might refuse the role of Han Ziang, so I recorded it in advance for you to listen to.

Because our extravehicular space suit is very heavy, even after the improvement of the prop master, it still weighs 40 kilograms. I believe you have also seen that when filming in the studio, there are thin steel wires on the top of the studio to assist the actors to walk.

Do you think that in this case, I might find an actor in his 70s to take on such a heavy job?"

Two minutes, the recording is finished.

Zhang Guoli straightened his back and said, "Director Wang, bring the plot paper over."

"Okay!" Wang Tingting agreed and handed the two pages of plot paper that had not been handed over to Zhang Guoli again.

...

Woke up early.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Yang Hao ran more than ten laps by the lake in the hotel yard, and then got on the business car to Studio 1 directly. As for breakfast, he ate it on the way.

4 cabbage and meat buns, a tea egg and a cup of soy milk.

The assistant that Guan Jingjing helped to find has not yet arrived. Now Nini, Gao Yuanyuan or Liu Yifei will help.

Whoever has time among these three beauties will help out. Today, Nini is the one who came to help out. A few days ago, Liu Yifei took a tour of Hengdian Film and Television City. After getting familiar with the crew of "The Wandering Earth", she flew directly to Glasgow, England. On July 13, "Fast and Furious 6" directed by Justin Lin will start shooting there.

As the main actor of "Fast and Furious 6", Liu Yifei naturally has to go there in advance to adapt to the shooting site.

"Brother..."

"Hmm?"

"This morning, when you went out for a run, my phone was bombarded with calls from Brother Qinglong. He yelled on the phone that he couldn't afford to be embarrassed by this person. You actually let Mr. Zhang Guoli, who is one year younger than him, play his father-in-law."

"Haha, then what?"

Yang Hao laughed happily.

At the beginning, although my buddy had already confirmed the actors for most of the roles in the movie, he just didn't announce it to the public. He was afraid that this announcement would make some old actors jump up and down.

"Then..., then I will tell Brother Qinglong that if in reality, your father-in-law is really one year younger than you, you will be so happy all day long."

"Yeah, smart."

Nini had just finished speaking when Yang Hao put down the soy milk cup in his hand and gave her a thumbs up.

"Hehe, brother, I am smart, right? Smart, come and kiss me."

Nini is such a woman, she is straightforward and unscrupulous. Even in front of Gao Yuanyuan in the business car, she likes to be affectionate with Yang Hao.

“Ahem…”

Seeing this, Yang Hao coughed twice, signaling Nini, who had leaned forward, to calm down, and then picked up the soy milk cup next to the seat again.

“Kiss, you two kiss, don’t worry about me, just pretend I don’t exist.” Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, then stretched out her right hand to cover her eyes, but the gap between her fingers was bigger than her eyes.

“Haha…”

Nini laughed so hard when she saw this.

While talking and laughing, the business car arrived at the door of Studio 2 of Hengdian Film and Television City.

Yang Hao pushed the door and got out of the car. Executive Deputy Director Wang Tingting, who came up to greet him, smiled at Gao Yuanyuan and Nini who were following behind Yang Hao, and hurriedly reported:

“Director, several leading actors have entered the shooting site, and the photography, lighting, props, and sound recording departments have also been prepared. Can we start shooting now?”

“Yes.”

After saying that, Yang Hao hurriedly called Wang Tingting.

"Director Wang, I have discussed with Lao Zhang yesterday. Since the two movies "The Wandering Earth" require more moving shots, I will basically work in shifts with Lao Zhang, so the time I sit behind the director's monitor is relatively short."

At this point, Yang Hao stopped and looked at Wang Tingting.

And Wang Tingting immediately made an OK gesture to him.

"Director, don't worry, I will take care of the work behind the director's monitor."

"Okay!"

Seeing her agreement, Yang Hao smiled and walked directly to the camera crew.

At this time, the sound of Zhang Mo's board was heard at the shooting site.

"Action!"

Liu Peiqiang, played by Qin Long, coaxed his son Liu Qi to sleep, then walked to the beach outside and sat next to Han Ziang, played by Zhang Guoli, and said respectfully: "After I leave, you will be the only guardian of Liu Qi."

"Okay!"

Zhang Guoli stared at the turbulent ocean and stopped him: "Don't say it!"

Qing Long lowered his head, took out two identity cards from his pocket, stuffed them into Zhang Guoli's hand, and said solemnly: "This is the only way for you and Liu Qi to enter the underground city without drawing lots."
