Super Zoo

Nangong Jian returned to the Armed Police Detachment to report. The political commissar of the Armed Police Detachment was still a little skeptical about using the Armed Police Force to help the zoo shoot a movie.

In the so-called police-civilian co-construction work in peacetime, the Armed Police Detachment can't do much, such as volunteering in orphanages and nursing homes, and popularizing various safety knowledge in schools, which is definitely not as effective as participating in filming. The reason proposed by Su Ming sounds very good: it is not just a group performance, but also a tourism promotion of Yangchuan City, supporting the development of local cultural undertakings.

In fact, it is normal for the Armed Police Force and even the field troops to participate in the filming of movies and TV series. Large-scale costume dramas and war dramas all require the support and cooperation of local troops.

The key lies in how much effect this movie can cause and how much box office it can have.

The participation of troops in blockbusters, big directors, and big productions is called the support of the troops for the development of cultural undertakings, and it can be regarded as police-civilian co-construction. On the contrary, if no one cares about this movie in the end, the nature is different. Not only will there be no credit, but it will also be caught by people with ulterior motives and accused of using public tools for private purposes.

The army was mobilized for filming, and the army was mobilized for filming Zhang Yimou's blockbuster, but has anyone ever seen a domestic micro-film that can mobilize the army?

When the political commissar heard that there was only 10 million investment, his thick eyebrows frowned into a Sichuan character.

"Company commander, why don't you just pull it and I'll think of a solution." Nangong Jian himself was not sure. He gave Su Ming a difficult problem, and Su Ming thought of a solution for him, but the ball was kicked back to him. If he didn't accept it, he couldn't blame Su Ming for not helping. If he accepted it, Nangong Jian had no idea.

A small investment of 10 million, an unknown director, and all the actors were novices. Anyone with a slightly normal mind would not be optimistic about this movie.

"You just said that the producer of this film is the Hong Kong Huaxiaxing Group?" The political commissar thought for a while and asked.

"It's not Huaxiaxing, it's the boss of Huaxiaxing himself." Nangong Jian said, "But I didn't see anyone from the Xiang family on the set, it's very likely that they just put a name on it."

The political commissar pondered for a moment and finally made a decision: "We can cooperate."

"Company commander, are you really not going to consider it again?" Nangong Jian asked.

"First of all, your nephew-in-law will never deliberately cheat you. Secondly, the mainland market is a big cake. The Xiang family will never destroy their own brand. Since the Xiang family is willing to participate, it means that they are optimistic about this movie. We are outsiders in movies, and the Xiang family has been in the entertainment industry for decades. They are experts. It won't be wrong to bet with experts." The political commissar said firmly.

If this comrade knew that the reason why Long Wu supported Su Ming was largely because of a "favor" in the Hong Kong Jockey Club, and Long Wu himself didn't think highly of this movie, I don't know what he would think, would he cry out that he was cheated?

In short, the preparatory work for the filming was finally completed, the funds were in place, the crew was formed, the script was revised, the actors from all parties were determined, and the venue was determined.

On a sunny morning, a simple ceremony of thanking the gods for the start of filming was held outside the Tingfeng Pavilion. Su Ming led the main creative staff of the crew to light three long incense sticks and burn incense to worship the gods. Five chimpanzees dressed in human suits, as representatives of animal actors, also held several large incense sticks and worshiped on the incense bank in a formal manner.

The heroine Chengcheng wore a flowery skirt and stood side by side with Nangong Huang in the crowd.

A large red banner read "The Horror Zootopia Start-up Ceremony".

There was a roasted pig more than half a meter long on the incense table, which frightened the second brother who was drinking water by the lake in the distance. After burning incense, Su Ming stabbed the roasted pig's head with a knife, and everyone shared the roasted pig.

The filming officially began.

In the next month or so, the entire crew and many actors devoted themselves to the filming and production of the movie.

The zoo remained open most of the time, and coupled with the previous pre-promotion on Weibo, many people came to the zoo specifically to visit the filming work.

The zoo had done a good job of keeping it secret in advance, so tourists could not see the core plot at all, and even rarely saw the actors and crew members in the play.

The more so, the more curiosity was aroused.

As the first movie shot in the city, the discussion heat in the local forum of Yangchuan City was not inferior to that of Taoyuan Yiqu Weibo, which has millions of fans.

Even if the main creators of this movie are not famous, the investment is small, and even the actors have never heard of it, this movie is invested by local people in Yangchuan City and shot in Yangchuan City. In the eyes of Yangchuan citizens, this movie is, to some extent, the movie of Yangchuan people themselves.

There were even some small-scale disputes between local netizens in Yangchuan City and netizens from other places on Taoyuan Yiqu.

A deputy director of the Publicity Department of the Yangchuan Municipal Party Committee personally went to the shooting site of the zoo and cordially comforted the shooting staff, hoping that everyone would contribute to the construction of Yangchuan City's cultural undertakings.

There was only one thing that made people more or less unhappy. Judging from the name, "Horror Zootopia" should be an out-and-out horror movie.

When many people see this title, their first reaction is that domestic horror films are at an absolute low point, and it is definitely not a wise choice to make a horror film at this time;

Many visitors who often come to the zoo have some doubts in their hearts. Horror movies must have thrilling plots, full of creepy monsters, and maybe blood will fly everywhere... In short, horror movies rely on the word "scary", which is completely different from the usual style of the zoo. Why does the director make a horror movie? It can't make money and it is not conducive to the publicity of the zoo.

Yangchuan Normal University Elementary School has recently been hit by a big storm. From the first grade to the sixth grade, everyone knows that a girl in the school has gone to make a movie. Not only has it attracted widespread attention and envy among the primary school students, but even the teachers in the school have eight out of ten topics in the office during class breaks. They are related to this, and the remaining two sentences are about why their children have not met a good director with a discerning eye.

Su Ming does not need to participate in the filming work throughout the whole process. He has been distracted to do three things recently.

First, a group of bees were sent to monitor the Baoye Company and the bald and fat woman who had a conflict last time. As said to Nangong Cheng, the matter is over, but the other party did not release goodwill. It is necessary to be on guard against others, and as for the intention to harm others, it is necessary to have it when necessary.

There was no movement at Baoye Company, everything was calm.

On the first day of the crew's filming, the bald guy wanted to do something, so he found a group of gangsters in society and bought tickets to enter the zoo.

The filming area of ​​the zoo is closed, and this group of gangsters insisted on forcing their way in, using the excuse that they had bought tickets.
