The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

Xia Haoyang, Wu Jing and others stood up and shook hands with each other to wish each other a happy cooperation. At this time, the waiter brought in four servings of noodles with soybean paste, interrupting their conversation. Several people picked up their chopsticks and sat down again to enjoy the delicious food.

After taking a few mouthfuls of noodles, Wu Jing said: "I actually have some ideas about these three roles, and I just happened to communicate with Director Liu and President Xia..."

In the following time, the few people had an in-depth discussion on the details of the script. Wu Jing put forward some of his own views and suggestions, and Xia Haoyang also listened carefully and said that they could be adopted and modified.

Judging from Wu Jing's conversation, he should have been prepared to take on these three films a long time ago.

Just as Xia Haoyang himself said, any one of these three films is a role that an actor dreams of, let alone there are three of them. No one would complain about having too many good scripts. The verbal sparring in business is just to fight for one's own interests. Xia Haoyang's straightforwardness instead inspired Wu Jing's heroism. Since you are straightforward, I will be straightforward too, so he directly promised to star in the film.

Agent Xiao Liu might not be very happy at first, but he also understood the desire of an actor to star in a good work, so he quickly adjusted his mood. After that, the atmosphere when the few of them were eating noodles and chatting was actually very harmonious.

"I didn't expect that Brother Wu Jing is so easy to talk to and has no airs at all. I feel relieved to have him star in these three films." Xia Haoyang said with satisfaction on the way home.

"A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Wu Jing's career in Hong Kong was not going well before, and he had to go through a lot of hardships. People who have been looked down upon and treated coldly will naturally not care about ostentation or show off."

"Now that the male lead has been decided, the production of these three dramas can begin. I'll have to ask Director Liu for help from now on," Xia Haoyang complimented.

"Don't give me that. Don't try to flatter me. But as long as you have the funds, I will definitely make these three films beautifully for you and make you a lot of money."

"It's not three, it's four, and there's also the musical 'The Fate of the Next Life.'" Xia Haoyang reminded.

"Let's talk about that one later. Let's do these three first." Director Liu Chang interrupted Xia Haoyang impatiently.

Since Wu Jing was cast as the male lead, the progress of these three dramas has been much faster.

"Dangal" has body requirements, so they could only shoot "Stars on Earth" and "3 Idiots" first, and director Liu Chang had two crews shooting at the same time.

In the 1990s, the glorious era of Hong Kong movies, it was common for a director to go to one crew to shoot an A film during the day and go to another crew to shoot a B film at night. For example, the famous fifth-generation director Wong Jing once shot "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" starring Jet Li during the day and "Hung Hei-gun" also starring Jet Li at night. Some supporting actors and staff also took turns between the two crews, but such things are rarely heard of nowadays.

This time, director Liu Chang shot two movies at the same time, which also attracted media attention.

"Director Liu, why did you choose to shoot two movies at the same time this time? And you also held a press conference for them at the same time. Is there any special reason?"

"Of course there is a special reason, which is to help the boss save money." Director Liu Chang said without hesitation.

"Save money?" The reporter was confused by this answer.

"Director Liu is saying that President Xia has funding issues for this film shoot?"

Before Director Liu Chang could continue speaking, the representative of Forty Thieves Film and Television, who was sitting next to him, got anxious and rushed to answer: "Director Liu was joking. In addition to Fat Cat Studios, Friendship Brothers, Emperor Penguin Film and Forty Thieves Film and Television, there are about seven or eight other companies that jointly invested in these films. The total amount we invested in these three films is as high as 2 billion Chinese yuan, and the funds have all been in place, so there is no problem with the funds. I hope that all journalists and friends will not misunderstand."

As the investor, the representative of Forty Thieves Films was worried that if word got out that there was a funding gap in the film, it would cause the audience to question the production quality of the film. He did not want misunderstandings to arise between the media and the audience.

In fact, Director Liu Chang could have smoothed over his words himself, but since the investors had spoken, he could no longer speak nonsense. After all, not every investor representative was as easy to deal with as Xia Haoyang.

"In fact, President Xia gave me the task of shooting both films, and both stars Mr. Wu Jing. When our assistant director was choosing the shooting locations, he found that many scenes of the two dramas could be produced in the same place, such as campus scenes. Therefore, I think it would be more efficient to produce them at the same time. Moreover, I have the support and reliance of experienced and capable behind-the-scenes staff like Director Luo Xianluo, so I think shooting the two dramas at the same time will actually improve the efficiency of filming. I also hope that with the promotion of the competitive spirit of the two teams, the two films can achieve better results." Director Liu Chang explained.

"But if two movies are being filmed at the same time, won't there be confusion among the actors, for example, Mr. Wu Jing, who is the male lead in two movies?"

"Such questions seem very amateurish. This reporter probably rarely covers entertainment news. The filming and production of movies, including TV series, are not done in the order you see in the finished product. Sometimes the finale is shot first, and the beginning shots are shot last. Actors follow the script when shooting a specific scene, so it is impossible for the actors or staff to get confused when two dramas are shot at the same time. If there is confusion, it means that our entire team is purely amateurish."

"Mr. Wu Jing, why did you choose to act in Mr. Xia Haoyang's script this time? In the past, you two were fierce competitors in the Spring Festival period. Are you teaming up if you can't win?"

"Our film and television industry is not the NBA. There is no such thing as the reporter friend just mentioned that if you can't win, you can form a group. There is more mutual cooperation in the entertainment industry, and I have admired Mr. Xia for a long time. When I heard that there was a script suitable for me, I agreed without hesitation. In fact, I have wanted to cooperate with Mr. Xia for a long time, and this time I finally got my wish. I also hope that my cooperation with Mr. Xia can bring wonderful works to everyone." Wu Jing replied with a smile.

"Excuse me, Ms. Zeng Jingyi, why didn't Mr. Xia show up at the new film launch conference today?"

"He has other work to deal with today, but he will come to the crew to guide the work in a while." Zeng Jingyi's answer was very official.

"Ms. Zeng Jingyi, as the leading actress of 3 Idiots, how do you feel about working with Mr. Wu Jing this time?"

Although reporters would ask some questions they were interested in at the press conference, the main purpose was to cooperate with the organizers to promote the film. Xia Haoyang did not attend the new film launch conference not because he was dealing with some work as Zeng Jingyi said, but because...
