This star’s style is wrong - Chapter 701

c701 Tourism crisis, “The Wandering Earth 2” project launched

Summer vacation is coming, and the preparatory work for “The Wandering Earth 2” has begun.

By the time the phone was turned on, Fang Xing would be busy.

So, before the phone was turned on, Fang Xing took his family on a trip.

Go to the zoo to see giant pandas.

Qian Qian pointed at the giant panda and called it Xiong Da, although the color was different.

There were other children nearby who corrected her cognitive error: “This is a giant panda, not a giant panda.”

Qianqian was very stubborn and argued with others: “It’s the big bear. My father made the big bear. It’s the prettiest.”

Two children can argue about this issue for a long time.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang’er looked on and found it very funny.

Since the two of them wore masks and hats when traveling, and wore only daily clothes, they were not recognized by anyone.

There are many tourists traveling during the summer vacation, but they are not as crowded as during the National Day holiday.

After all, the summer vacation lasts a long time, but not all parents are on vacation, so there is no special group travel.

Wearing a mask did not lead to recognition at first.

However, Qianqian asked to take a photo with the giant panda and was not allowed to wear a mask.

The family took off their masks and took photos next to tourists, and they were immediately recognized.

As a result, the family photo turned into a group photo of tourists.

“Fang Xing, I know you. You are Jiangzuo Meilang. Come, come, take a photo with your aunt. Who is that? Come and help take the photo.” An aunt took Fang Xing’s arm with great enthusiasm.

Fang Xing could only be a tool and started taking pictures with tourists.

At first, everything was fine.

But after more than ten minutes of filming, the show still hasn’t ended.

Qian Qian started to feel unhappy, and reached out to grab the tourists taking the photo: “Don’t take pictures! Don’t take pictures!”

There were really too many tourists trying to steal her father, which made her very angry.

This has never happened before.

When I traveled in the past, it was mostly off-season, and Qianqian was still young and didn’t have that many ideas.

Now four and a half years old, she is getting smarter and smarter, and has begun to object to tourists trying to steal her daddy.

Fang Xing quickly picked her up and coaxed, “I’m just taking a picture with my uncle and aunt, and you can take it too.”

As a result, one tool man became two tool men.

“The little girl is so cute. Is this your dad? Auntie likes your dad very much, can you?” An aunt began to tease her.

“No!” Qian Qian’s eyebrows almost stood up.

Generally, tourist aunties are more enthusiastic and ask for photos, while uncle-type tourists are more calm and rarely ask for photos.

There were also some students who were traveling during the summer vacation, and they came together in small groups to take photos while hiding their mouths and smiling shyly.

This time I was recognized by tourists and took so many photos.

Qian Qian’s photos are probably about to be exposed.

After getting out of the crowd of tourists and putting on his mask again, Fang Xing sent a WeChat message to Qiao Yinghong: Inform the entertainment media and self-media not to share photos of Qian Qian.

…

As expected.

That afternoon, photos and videos of Fang Xing’s family outing were posted online, and the trending searches were overwhelming.

but.

Since Fang Xing has always prohibited entertainment media from publishing photos of Qian Qian, domestic entertainment media generally do not dare to violate the rules for the purpose of protecting children.

Ark Culture’s public relations team proactively communicated with major online platforms to prohibit the dissemination of Qianqian’s photos.

therefore.

Although the hot search was on, you could still see Qian Qian’s photos at first, but all of them were quickly deleted. The photos posted later, Qian Qian’s photos were all coded, some posted a cat cartoon, and some Posted a picture of a little yellow duck.

There was nothing I could do about the photos of Fang Xing and Lu Xiang’er.

The two are public figures and it is impossible to ask the entertainment media to delete the photos.

therefore.

All day today.

The hot searches are full of photos of Fang Xing holding his daughter and taking photos with tourists, but Qian Qian has a rabbit avatar on her face.

Since this is the first time Qianqian has appeared in the public eye, almost all entertainment media on the Internet have forwarded it.

It attracted many discussions among netizens:

[After raising a baby for more than four years, I finally see the results. 】

[Are you dressed so ordinary? The clothes are even a bit tacky. 】

[The one upstairs is a bit too much. They are traveling and not participating in an event. What’s wrong with wearing ordinary clothes? Moreover, he was still wearing a mask at first, but later took off the mask to take photos, and was recognized by passers-by. 】

[To say it is dirty is a bit too much, but the clothes he wears are considered decent among passers-by. However, daily clothes and stage clothes are different. Don’t compare them with some carefully prepared “street photos”. This is really a simple travel. 】

[Two days ago, didn’t Ark Culture just announce the launch of the “Wandering Earth 2” project? Why did you run away to travel? 】

[Every time Fang Xing starts a new project, he takes his family out to play. This has become a routine. Now that I’m traveling, it means that “The Wandering Earth 2” is not far away from the machine. 】

[Finally started filming “The Wandering Earth 2”. 】

[No, why did you start filming now? “The Wandering Earth 1” has been released for more than half a year, shouldn’t it be released immediately? 】

In the discussions among netizens, some strange behaviors occasionally appear:

[FX, this bitch’s daughter is still being coded. Isn’t it because her daughter is ugly and afraid to see people? 】

Under normal circumstances, when certain groups criticize Fang Xing, musicians, fans, and moviegoers are too lazy to respond.

Because most of Fang Xing’s fans don’t have the time to quarrel online every day, so they wait until the movie is released and express their attitude directly with movie tickets.

However, this time some groups were a bit outrageous. Instead of attacking Fang Xing, they attacked Qian Qian. This was insane to a level that was beyond comprehension.

Therefore, the account that posted this Weibo post was criticized by many netizens:

[Fang Xing is a public figure. If you scold him, he will scold him, even a four- or five-year-old child. Is that too much? 】

[The forest is really big and there are all kinds of weird things. 】

[After checking the ingredients, this account supports a certain date, likes a certain rap variety show, and the favorite idol abuses drugs. Jia Haochen’s super chat has been very active recently, and everyone understands it. 】

[It’s really all five poisons. 】

[I was present at the scene and even took a photo with Fang Xing. Qianqian is very cute and has perfectly inherited the genes of her parents. She almost wants to hug her away. 】

[Fellows are at the scene. Here is a group photo. The ones on the right are the three of us in the dormitory. Fang Xing seems to be without makeup, but seeing it in real life and seeing it in the photo feel completely different. I have seen too many photos of high-profile celebrities. When I saw them in real life, I realized that they are handsome without makeup, and they are more realistic. 】

[Lu Xiang’er put on a little makeup and is really beautiful. They were wearing masks and hats at first, so they were completely unrecognized. They thought they were an ordinary family traveling, but Qianqian asked to take off their masks for a photo, and then they were discovered. 】

[This is the first time in reality that I have such close contact with a star, and he is a movie king! I was so excited that I ended up laughing when we took the photo together. The photo was so ugly. cry! 】

[My parents took me on a trip during the summer vacation, and I met them at the zoo. I just told my mother that someone was scolding Qianqian on the Internet. Now my mother is very angry. She said that she wants to register an account and come up to confront these NC fans. Finally, Qianqian is so cute that I really want to pinch her face, but I feel embarrassed. Moreover, the little girl has such fierce breasts that she won’t let anyone take a photo with her father. It’s so funny. 】

…

The topic of tourism was debated for a whole day. With Ark Culture taking the initiative to reduce the heat, the heat slowly subsided the next day.

For this reason, the news that “The Wandering Earth 2” is about to be launched is spreading more and more widely.

Ark Culture also publicly stated that it hopes the audience will not pay too much attention to the life of Fang Xing’s family and pay more attention to “The Wandering Earth 2”.

Preparations for “The Wandering Earth 2” have begun, and a series of preparations for investment promotion and casting are underway at the same time.

Investment promotion for popular movies has already begun during the preparation stage.

In fact, most movies will have advertising and investment promotion during the preparation stage.

Especially for movies where advertisements can be embedded, if the popularity is high enough, the initial investment in advertising can earn back the investment.

However, Fang Xing has very high requirements for the quality of movies and does not allow advertisements that damage the plot of the movie, so the initial advertising investment is relatively restrained.

Even so, science fiction movies are set on Earth, and there are still many advertisements to be placed.

For example, if one or two brand trademarks appear in a movie, these will not affect the plot of the movie.

Moreover, in the terms of advertising investment, Ark Culture has strict restrictions on the location of brand trademarks, and will not give close-ups of brand trademarks.

Shots like a character holding a can of drink in his hand can be used for advertising, or the logo of a vehicle, which can be used for advertising and investment.

However, the contracts are the same, there will be no close-ups, just normal filming.

Even so, “The Wandering Earth 2” has been frantically attracted by the advertising industry.

After all, this is the sequel to a movie with a box office of 4.7 billion, and it is a science fiction film that kicked off the first year of Chinese science fiction films.

During the preparation stage, Ark Culture announced the investment scale of “The Wandering Earth 2”.

600 million investment.

This is already a ceiling-level investment in the film industry.

There are only a handful of movies that can exceed an investment of over 600 million.

That is, the “Land of Monsters” claimed to have an investment of 700 million in the past two years.

Moreover, the crew of “The Wandering Earth 2” is still the same crew.

This gives the film a guarantee of quality.

In other words, as long as nothing unexpected happens, this movie will definitely be a hit.

It’s hard to say whether the box office can surpass the first one, but it will definitely be no less, and it has the strength to compete for the annual box office championship.

For a movie of this caliber, it would be absolutely insane to be able to embed advertisements in the movie.

Even though Ark Culture’s advertising placement contract is very demanding, brands are almost not allowed to make requests for lenses.

Anyway, Fang Xing’s attitude is very clear. Brands that invest in advertising cannot interfere in the filming. If you don’t agree with this clause, you don’t have to sign.

“The Wandering Earth 2” does not rely on advertising placement to make money, it just increases revenue without affecting the movie.

Even so, advertisers are flocking to it.

…

The preliminary preparation work is very tedious.

First, prepare the script, then polish the script to a satisfactory level, and then start making storyboards according to the script.

At the same time, the framework of the crew must be established.

Find the Fuhua Road team, talk to the film and television base about the recording studio, and then start making movie props and sets.

Fortunately, with the experience of “The Wandering Earth 1”, these tasks are done by the entire company and crew together.

There was no need for Fang Xing to do it himself, which made it much easier.

even so.

During the discussion stage of prop production, there are still many problems to be solved.

“I want to shoot a space elevator, and it must be shot in a realistic way. It cannot be all special effects. All special effects cannot be absolutely real. The space elevator must be shot in real scenes. Yes, build one for me directly in the studio Space elevator.” Fang Xing was very insistent on the shooting method of the space elevator.

The crew has been discussing how to shoot the space elevator.

Because no movie has actually filmed a space elevator before, even if it did, it would be a glimpse.

It does exist in animation, but animation and movies are completely different concepts.

Therefore, Fang Xing proposed to shoot a space elevator, which was also a challenge for the props team.

Especially the domestic props team has never produced anything like this.

At the beginning, Sun Jianqi proposed to shoot the space elevator scene directly with a green screen, and then use special effects to produce it.

This arrangement is very commonly used abroad.

Especially Hollywood movies, including superhero movies, are basically shot in a studio and later produced with special effects.

If you watch the behind-the-scenes of superhero movies, the scenes you see are basically big green screens, where actors perform one-man shows.

However, Fang Xing disagreed with this plan and insisted that the space elevator be shot in real locations and that a space elevator should be built in the studio.

In fact, this was not the first time Fang Xing had done this.

During the filming of “The Wandering Earth 1”, a space station was built in the studio.

However, this time the space elevator is a brand new challenge.

certainly.

It is impossible to actually build a space elevator with a length of 36,000 kilometers.

Fang Xing requested real-life shooting, mainly for the close-up shots of the space elevator. When it came to the long shots, special effects had to be used.

Even so, the demands on the props team are still high.

The prop team for “The Wandering Earth 1” was made by He Youliang’s team.

The cooperation last time was very pleasant, so Fang Xing mainly asked He Youliang for his opinion.

After careful consideration, He Youliang agreed: “Okay, let’s build a space elevator. What other requirements does Director Fang have for a space elevator?”

Fang Xing thought about it and replied: “The space elevator needs a vibration device. When it lands and starts, it needs to create a real vibration feeling.”

Generally speaking, if it is a movie that is not too demanding, this kind of vibration is also caused by the actor performing the ground shaking, and then the camera shakes to create the vibration feeling.

But this kind of vibration still lacks a sense of reality.

Therefore, Fang Xing directly requested that the space elevator come with its own vibration device.

He Youliang thought for a moment, nodded and agreed: “Yes, this can be done, but the budget may increase by half.”

Fang Xing just received the good news from Qiao Yinghong, saying that the advertising investment has exceeded 300 million, so now the crew is not short of money: “Budget is not a problem, as long as the effect meets my requirements.”

In fact, the wisdom of the Chinese people is first-rate. As long as they are given enough money, they can do many amazing things.

He Youliang felt reassured after receiving this promise: “That’s no problem. I’ll come up with a specific plan next week.”
