Chapter 809 The Last Emperor Chen Qi and Yan Dingxian drafted an agreement to agree on the tasks of the first phase. Oriental Company provides scripts, and Shang Meiying does character image design; then Shang Meiying takes a field trip and original paintings, which is the second stage; the third stage is animation, and finally the later stage. There are four stages in total, and money is paid in batches. 5 million yuan is used as a base, and you can spend as much as you want. Yan Dingxian did not understand Chen Qi's goal, but he was also ready to move for this bold and powerful force. There is a kind of encounter in the world that every creator hopes to meet his own coal boss. Chen Qi also wanted to go and see Bass, but he thought about it and then forget it. Bass is in Fuzhou Zoo, it is too far away and he will have a chance in the future. Young people may not know that Busby’s current flower is still famous. ……… Just as Chen Qi was tinkering with pandas, the summer in the capital was already hot. Because "The Last Emperor" is here.
The film has not started yet, but has been preparing for many days in Beijing. Bettorucci has brought a team of 100 Italians, 20 British, and 30 translators, while Beijing Film Studio provides 150 people to help. The foreigners live in the Beijing Hotel, and the Beijing Film Studio and the Forbidden City are the two main shooting locations. Beijing Film Studio has become the crew base in a short time, and it suddenly became a foreign style, causing a sensation in the entire factory, the entire Beijing circle, and the whole city. This morning. After coaxing the child downstairs, Gong Xue went downstairs with Zhang Yi and others to walk around the factory. They were also very excited. They had never seen such a scene. Zhang Yi showed a big tooth and all the wrinkles came out, saying, "I heard that many classic cars were transported from Italy, and they were all waiting to pass!" "What classic car?" "Anti-style cars! There are many scenes of cars in the film. What a good guy, I'm going to be specially transported from Italy. Foreigners are really particular!" "Foreigner, I don't know. Our Director Chen is very particular now. He is mixed with the Italian director every day, his tongue is like a rubber band." Zhang Junzhao complained. "That's called playing the tongue!" Gong Xue was so funny that she suddenly shook her head and pointed at the front: "Don't talk bad things behind your back, you're still classmates." When the few people looked at it, they saw Chen Kaige's figure happening to appear in front of them. Zhang Junzhao winked and said, "Oh! Kaige, what are you busy with in such a coincidence?" "I'll go to the crew to see, what are you doing?" Chen Kaige turned around and his expression was not very comfortable, but he should not be rude in his face. Zhang Junzhao said, "We also want to see and experience it. You are familiar with it. Do you take us around?" "I'm not familiar with director Bettorucci, but I'm just a more speculative one." "Just speculation, let's take your face to see it." Gong Xue smiled. "Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it!" Chen Kaige had to chat with him, and he was very helpful immediately. You said that my uncle...ah! That annoying Chen Qi, how could He De marry such a good wife? This person is wasted! Bettorucci and Chen Kaige had a good relationship. The two hit it off at first sight and often had a chat all night. When filming "The Last Emperor", he spent almost every day on the crew and was greatly affected. He also made a guest appearance as Captain of the Guards. By comparison with "The Last Emperor" and "Farewell My Concubine", we can see that there are some similarities in temperament.
At this moment, he led a few people to the factory. The blonde and blue-eyed foreigners came and went, cars were yelling, English, Italian and Chinese were shouting mixed, intersections and buildings were nailed with Chinese and English brands... It seemed that the entire Beijing Film Studio was doing the "Last Era" The Emperor serves, and there is a sense of restlessness. On an open space, a big pot suddenly set up. Several employees are cooking something. Gong Xue covered her nose and saw that it was rolling inside, and it was full of fabric. She said strangely: "Why are you cooking this?" "Don't be old!" "There are many street scenes in the late Qing Dynasty. The director asked to make the extras' clothes worn, and the clothes of hundreds of people are for hundreds of people! This pot is for beggars." One person said with a smile. "I have seen what a large international production is!" Another person also spitted. “…” The few people looked at each other and continued to visit, as if they had entered the diorama and were all fresh and sharing information with each other. "Good guy! They even brought the cook, Italian cook!" "More than that? There are piles of mineral water and coffee, and we don't even need our flour. What oil is there?" "olive oil?" "Yes! Capitalism is too corrupt. Is this filming or enjoying the happiness? Teacher Chen took us to film "Beautiful Life" and it wasn't like this!" With a few people looking old-fashioned, Chen Kaige suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of superiority and smiled: "It's essentially insufficient funds. Guess what's the budget for "The Last Emperor"?" "Millions of US dollars?" Zhang Yimou road. "It's $25 million!" "Wow!" This is really shocking. There were two dramas in the 1980s that allowed the closed domestic film industry to see the Hollywood-level crew level. One was "The Last Emperor" and the other was "The Sun Empire" filmed by Spielberg in Shanghai. At that time, it was indeed a dimensionality reduction attack. Gong Xue was also shocked, with no fluctuations on her face. She continued to walk and came outside a small studio. An Italian is training 50 stylists from Beijing Film Studio. Jiligulu Jiligulu can't understand it, and it all depends on translation and conveying it. The general idea is that there is a scene of Puyi's ascension ceremony, which requires 2,000 officers and soldiers. The training content is to braid these 2,000 people in two hours. Wigs all over the floor. "Hello!" No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! Gong Xue was watching when an Italian suddenly shouted at him, and the translator knew her and said he was very polite: "Sister Xue, we are training, you'd better avoid it!" "Oh, sorry!"
She smiled and stepped out. The Italian muttered a few more words, but the translator looked bad, but he didn't say it. Those stylists all understood and shook each other: Is stupid foreigner, dare this guy to mess with him? … The few people walked around for a long time and were quite touched. Just as I was about to walk back, a car roared over and stopped directly outside the studio. As soon as the car door opened, two foreigners came out. A man in his 40s, with a big nose and a thick chin, is Bettorucci. Another talented person is Jeremy Thomas, the producer of "The Last Emperor". "List!" When Bettoruc saw Chen Kaige, he hugged him enthusiastically and said with a smile: "You are more attentive to this drama than me, and watch it every day... Oh, who are these friends?" He saw Gong Xue at first sight without waiting for the introduction. His eyes lit up and he came over and said, "Hello ma'am! I can't send your name, but your performance in "Beautiful Life" has always been imprinted in my mind. It's such a great movie!" He spoke English, and Gong Xue also answered in English: "Thank you, I'm very happy to see you in Beijing!" "I have met many Chinese artists, and you are the biggest surprise!" Bettorucci politely made a few words and invited directly: "If you don't mind, I hope you can play a cameo role like Chen." He temporarily arrested many actors in the country. Like Ying Ruocheng, he was caught when he came to visit the set. Ying Ruocheng was the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture at that time and said that I had an official position and could not play it. So the crew reported to the upper level and received special approval from the leader. Ying Ruocheng plays the role of a warden. Everyone thought Gong Xue would agree, but she refused very happily: "Sorry, I have a lot of things recently and I don't have time to film." "Thank you for your kindness, I wish you all the best!" She led a few people away without saying a word. Betoruc shrugged and said, "Okay! She may think that her husband is a famous producer and doesn't need to deal with me. Speaking of which, the Chinese is very smart, and "Beautiful Life" has a taste for the United States. Not satisfactory." "Where?" Jeremy Thomas said. "The filming was too subtle. If I did, I would add a few scenes. The woman's body was the best art, and it could express all kinds of emotions." "Ha! Then it will become "The Last Tango in Shanghai"!" Thomas smiled. “…” Translation widened his eyes, what does it mean? Let Gong Xue naked? ? ? The translator looked around and swallowed, which means you beep in English, otherwise you would die miserably.
