Chapter 154
"Thieves" pushed the highest box office of domestic films forward by 800 million.
This number, in the eyes of many people, feels a bit scary.
After all, there are too many commercial films that can't get this result from release to off-screen.
At the grand celebration banquet, Han Sanping held a microphone and talked eloquently.
"The success of this movie is a very good signal, the high box office era has completely arrived..."
The people below, each with a smile on their face, listened carefully.
Ren Zhonglun sat in the front row, the corners of his mouth twitching, "He's starting to pretend again..."
A long time later, amidst a round of applause, Han Sanping smashed the ice with a hammer.
Inside was a card with the big words "901 million" written on it, representing the results achieved by "Thieves".
Today's celebration banquet, almost all film companies with weight in the industry arrived, as well as a large number of performing stars and big names in the circle, very lively.
Socializing and entertaining will always be the unchanging theme of such occasions.
"Why didn't you see Lin Dao and the others?" Many people have this question.
Looking around, I only saw Yue Jun of Lin Nan Film Industry, but didn't see the main character.
"'The Fault in Our Stars' seems to have started filming." Someone mentioned it.
"So fast! No press conference?"
"It's quite low-key..."
…………
After nearly 4 months of filming, "Palace" finally wrapped up.
"Mi Mi, hope to cooperate again if there is a chance in the future."
Feng Shaofeng, who acted in the rival play, said to Yang Mi with a smile.
"Okay, if there is a chance, I hope to cooperate with everyone again." Yang Mi nodded.
"Your company's resources are too good, maybe we will have to ask you for help in the future, haha..."
Tong Liya and others teased at the right time.
Hearing these compliments, Yang Mi was still quite happy, after all, these days are all news about "Thieves".
Returning to the hotel, she started packing her luggage.
"I heard from people in the company that Lin Dao's 'The Fault in Our Stars' has started filming."
Ceng Jia mentioned it; she felt it was necessary to let Yang Mi know about this.
Sure enough, she saw the latter stunned for a moment, and said somewhat dejectedly:
"Start filming then start filming, anyway I have no chance. I'm going to rest for a month, don't take any notices for me during this time..."
Ceng Jia nodded; during this period, Yang Mi first missed "Pacific Rim", then was eliminated by "The Flowers of War", and missed "The Fault in Our Stars", it was really a blow, it's time to rest well.
…………
The filming location of "The Fault in Our Stars" is near the capital.
Liu Yifei, who had put on makeup and was wearing a hospital gown with an oxygen tube, was waiting to start filming.
On the side was Liu Xiaoli, who played the female lead's mother, and a doctor wearing a white coat.
"When filming in a while, is the state of the character clear?" Lin Nan asked.
"Hmm, clear. Sick for many years, heart has already given up on itself, although the body is weak, the mouth is still holding on to complain about the doctor's comforting words, a bit impatient and indifferent..."
Liu nodded slightly, with a sweet smile on her face. The feeling of being in the same crew as Lin Nan is very, very good.
Lin Nan looked at Liu Xiaoli and the actor playing the doctor, "Ready."
"Action!"
……
"You should persist in taking medication to block it, it will improve."
"What's the point of persisting? Can I become a normal person?" Liu Yifei tried to act as she thought.
"Baby, listen to the doctor, you will be fine." Liu Xiaoli's lips and voice trembled slightly, with a kind smile of maternal love on her face.
Lin Nan looked at the picture in the monitor and gave a thumbs up in his heart.
Liu Xiaoli succeeded in brainwashing herself; the trembling of her voice and lips was very in place.
"Have you tried the mutual aid group I suggested?"
"Mutual aid group? What is that thing?"
Liu Yifei acted out that indifferent, shameless expression, just like sometimes acting shamelessly with Lin Nan.
"Inside are some people who have the same 'encounter' as you, you need friends, can't close yourself off like this, you already have signs of depression..."
"People with the same 'encounter'? Depression? Hehe..."
"Shall we try it?"
Liu Xiaoli picked up the lines at the right time, interrupting Liu Yifei's words, her tone was very light, with pleading in her eyes.
So far, there have been no mistakes in the shots, very smooth.
Liu Yifei looked up at Liu Xiaoli, eye contact, after a long time, finally nodded and agreed.
"Cut."
As soon as Lin Nan's voice landed, Liu Yifei jumped off the hospital bed.
"Mom, you acted really well, if people didn't know, they would think I was really sick..."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Liu Xiaoli instantly looked serious, interrupting Liu Yifei's giggling.
She examined her daughter's appearance; this makeup really made her bring herself into that kind of emotion just now...
"There is a sentence in the script that is written very well: The only thing more tragic than having a terminal illness is having a child with a terminal illness, and parents wish they could replace them."
Liu Xiaoli looked at Lin Nan and muttered a sentence.
"Hmm, Auntie is right."
…………
In the afternoon, the crew transferred.
When a group of acquaintances met, Liu Yifei couldn't believe it.
"Ah, why are you here?"
"Surprise? Unexpected? Lin Dao called us to cameo as patients, haha..."
Except for Zhu Yawen and Huang Bo, Lin Nan also pulled many people from Grade 0 to cameo, Jiang Yiyan, Luo Jin...
When everyone met, it was inevitable to chat for a while.
Huang Bo will play the core figure of the "patient mutual aid group".
"Everyone hurry up and prepare, change clothes, put on makeup, prepare the guitar for Huang Bo."
"Very good, I'll sing two more lines later."
"Speaking of this afternoon's play, is it the scene where Lin Dao and Yifei first met in the script?"
"Yes, I turn around, he doesn't look at the road, and we bump into each other." Liu Yifei answered with a smile.
An hour later, everyone was ready.
"Action!"
A black sedan drove slowly and stopped.
Liu Xiaoli was driving, carrying Liu Yifei.
Lu Yang was sitting in front of the monitor; he had nothing to do these days, so he volunteered to be an assistant director for a few days.
Lin Nan was already preparing his appearance shot, ready to start at any time.
When the character played by Liu walked into the gate and walked to the elevator entrance, seeing it was full and had a wheelchair, she stopped her steps.
As she turned around, she bumped into Lin Nan who was walking in with his head down, bumping into his arms...
"Sorry..."
"My fault..."
The two said subconsciously, Liu Yifei in front, Lin Nan behind.
Eye contact, frozen for a few seconds, smiles appeared on their faces, a bit awkward and a different feeling...
"Cut, this last shot is not good, do it again."
When Lu Yang said this, everyone on the side was stunned.
Everyone looked at Lu Yang, full of surprise in their eyes: Brother, do you know what you are saying?
"Is Director Lu trying to rebel?"
Huang Bo made a joke on the side, making Zhu Yawen and others unable to help laughing.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei walked over, "Let me see."
Two minutes later, Lin Nan nodded; he was confused as a spectator.
"Do it again, this last shot is indeed unqualified.
The look in the eyes is not the first meeting, but the look of lovers, out of character..."
A group of people gave Lu Yang a thumbs up, awesome.
Three consecutive NGs, the fourth one passed.
Lin Nan didn't expect his first appearance shot to be so ill-fated.
"Still laughing?"
Liu Yifei ignored Lin Nan, just covering her mouth and laughing, as if the NG had nothing to do with her.
…………
"After this scene is finished, we'll wrap up for today."
"Okay, Lin Dao."
The scenes for all cameo actors came.
"Action!"
Everyone sat in a circle.
Huang Bo played and sang a song with a guitar, and after the song, he stood up.
"Welcome everyone to the 'Patient Mutual Aid Group', there are a few new friends today, let's introduce ourselves again, who goes first?"
Jiang Yiyan stood up first, she only cameoed in this one shot.
"Hello everyone, I have acute myeloid leukemia, I hope everyone can care for and encourage each other in the future, and become good friends..."
Next was Luo Jin, "... lymphoma..."
……
When a group of people were introducing themselves, in the lens, Lin Nan was peeking at Liu Yifei from time to time.
The latter clearly noticed it, a bit constrained. Her eyes looked elsewhere to avoid embarrassment, and finally couldn't help but look back...
The first meeting of two young people, a wonderful feeling...
……
Zhu Yawen stood up, "... retinoblastoma, this eye of mine is fake..."
Lin Nan rolled up his pants, "... bone cancer, amputated before..."
Looking at it on the scene, it was just a green cloth wrapped around the lower leg, and the special effects would be used to make a prosthetic limb later.
After the character played by Liu finished introducing herself, everyone looked at Huang Bo.
It's time to show acting skills.
I saw Huang Bo sitting there, clamping his legs, with a lonely face, "I, I... testicular cancer... amputated..."
"Oh..."
A group of people couldn't help but sigh.
……
……
Before 6 pm, the first day of filming ended.
Because it was filmed near the capital, the crew members could go home.
News about the start of "The Fault in Our Stars" had already appeared in the media, just without photos.
"Lin Dao's new film 'Stars' has started filming low-key today."
"Lin Dao Nan, did not attend the 'Thieves' celebration banquet. One of the leads, Luo Jin, was not seen at the scene, the latter suspected of cameo in 'Stars'..."
Liu Yifei, in order not to be lazy when getting up tomorrow morning, went to rest early in the evening, and also told Lin Nan to call her to eat breakfast and go to the crew together tomorrow.
Lin Nan was brushing the news, but saw quite a few interesting things.
This year's Hundred Flowers Awards canceled the screenwriter award, which led to protests from all screenwriters and filmmakers.
Public opinion pressure forced the association to take a step back, promising to apply for the restoration of this award, which is really not easy.
Because the previous few movies of Lin Nan Film Industry were all big hits, the promotion effect of "Love is Not Blind" was unexpectedly good.
Discussion and attention remained high, faintly having the trend of becoming a dark horse at the box office in November.
……
"'Flying Swords of Dragon Gate' crew, filming plan adjusted significantly?"
Lin Nan was happy when he saw this news; I guess "The Sorcerer and the White Snake" must have started filming, and people can't leave...
