"It's really you, I didn't expect there are so many fans in Japan! It's a veritable international superstar."
At Kagoshima Airport, Yuan Hua managed to get out of the powder pile and got on the plane. Because of the popularity of "Wei Wei", Yuan Hua's popularity in Japan has soared. Some fans heard that he was filming in Yakushima, and traveled thousands of miles. Running over to sign a photo with him is no different than the crazy fans in China.
Facing Huang Bo's teasing, Yuan Hua joked:
"I can't help it, I'm too handsome, that's why I have this kind of trouble."
""
Huang Bo seriously suspected that someone was secretly poking at him, but he had no evidence.
I have to say that "Wei Wei" is really popular overseas, whether youtube or Netflix, the playback volume is exaggerated.
When Yuan Hua asked about it before, he said that he didn't know why this TV series was so popular abroad. In fact, he was not lying, because Yuan Hua really didn't know.
In the previous life, this drama was also inexplicably popular overseas, especially in countries such as Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Its popularity is even higher than that in China.
The reason why Yuan Hua took over this TV series is largely because of the good overseas performance of this TV series, which can help him expand his overseas influence appropriately.
The popularity of this show in the previous life also made Yang Yang, who played Xiao Nai, more famous overseas. Therefore, even though the "Full-time Master" starring him was not as good as expected in China, it still won the top spot on Netflix. Very good playback volume.
Compared with Yang Yang, Yuan Hua has a higher starting point. During his time in the group, Yuan Hua has already accumulated some fan base overseas, and the hit of "Wei Wei" has further helped him consolidate his popularity. , and became popular in Asia for a while.
In the past, the media called him an Asian superstar, which somewhat meant putting gold on his face, but now it is basically solid! This also shows that he has taken another solid step away from the king of China Entertainment
The increase in international influence has two main benefits for Yuan Hua. The first is commercial value. International big names will naturally look at it higher, and the endorsement price can also rise accordingly
The second is that if Yuan Hua's films can be released overseas in the future, it may help the box office performance to a certain extent
This time Yuan Hua, Huang Bo and others set off to return to China because the shooting in Yakushima has basically been completed, and then they have to go to Qindao Oriental Movie Metropolis to shoot some parts that are not allowed to be shot on Yakushima
Leaving aside Yakushima itself as a World Heritage List and an ecological protection area, Japan itself is very strict about environmental protection. It has always been compared with European and American standards. State officials can set fires, such as discharging nuclear waste water, etc. But of course outsiders like the crew of "A Good Show" are not allowed to light the lamps.
There is a scene in this movie, which is a broken ship upside down on the sea. The local government of Yakushima must not allow such a scene to be built, because it will pollute the sea and destroy the ecology.
So for this part, I can only go back to Qindao Oriental Studios to shoot. This is undoubtedly a relief for Yuan Hua, and I can finally leave that ghostly place where it rains every day!
Although I still shoot at the beach after returning to China, the Oriental Movie Metropolis is no longer the remote island it used to be. The conditions in all aspects have improved by more than one level, and the basic necessities of life are much more convenient.
"Hey, Yuan Hua, have you ever filmed in the Oriental Movie Metropolis before?"
Yuan Hua shook his head and said, "No, this is my first time filming here. Most of my previous scenes were filmed in Hengdian"
Yuan Hua has filmed in several film and television bases such as Huairou, Hengdian and Xiangshan, but it is true that Oriental Movie Metropolis has not filmed here.
As a native of Qindao, Huang Bo did not forget to brag about the industry in his hometown:
"Let me tell you, the Oriental Movie Metropolis is currently the world's largest comprehensive film and television industry project with a total investment of over 50 billion, covering an area of ??about 3.76 million square meters and a total construction area of ??about 5.4 million square meters.
It is planned to build 40 world-leading studios, including the world's largest 10,000-square-meter studio and underwater studio so far, covering the entire industry chain of the film and television industry. 32 setting workshops are adjacent to the studio area, providing functional support for clothing, painting, spraying, woodworking and milling, and iron art.
The exterior area includes the theme location service building and vacant location. The theme location includes 15 building facades with 3-5 floors of different styles, such as Shanghai in the Republic of China, European and American styles, etc., and the huge vacant location can be customized. , to meet the needs of large-scale professional setting and shooting.
Like the custom-made sets we used in "A Good Show" this time"
Although he has never filmed a movie here, Yuan Hua does not say he is ignorant of the Oriental Movie Metropolis, because he came here earlier to conduct an investigation, and the basic information has already been heard by the receptionist Introduced
Because this film and television base was built relatively late, it is said that there are not many film and television dramas filmed here for the time being. Although the developer has offered a very favorable subsidy policy to attract global investment, the effect is still relatively average.
? After all, filming or TV series shooting is a very systematic thing, and it doesn¡¯t just need to have hardware. The corresponding software is a latecomer who needs to catch up for the time being.
Therefore, at present, basically only some fantasy and sci-fi movies are chosen to shoot here, because it is indeed relatively advanced in technology, and it is really attractive for movies that require a lot of special effects.
If there is no accident, the two most valuable sci-fi IPs in Yuan Hua's hands now - the "Wandering Earth" series and the "Three-Body" series, should be filmed here in the future After all, these two series are important to The shooting conditions are relatively strict, and there are not many film and television bases in China that can meet the standards.
"The Wandering Earth", which is currently invested by Huazhang Film and Television, has already rented 8 studios here to start setting up scenes and making props. He plans to take time to visit later to see how Guo Fan's preparations are going
Although he already knew it in his heart, Yuan Hua would not spoil Huang Bo's eloquent interest, but answered the words just right:
"Oh, it's not officially open yet, is it? It seems that it's not finished yet?"
Huang Bo nodded and said: "Well, the whole project broke ground in September 2013, and now it has been completed in seven to eighty-eight, and the grand theater is still under construction, and it is expected to be fully completed and open for business in April next year.
Although it has not yet been fully opened, some of them have already started operation. For example, Sunac Film and Television Industrial Park signed contracts with many American film companies as early as October 2016, and introduced 11 Hollywood blockbusters such as "Pacific Rim 2" to Dongfang Film and Television. Both shoot.
By the way, "The Great Wall" was also filmed here, and "Crazy Alien", which Shen Teng and I are about to collaborate on, is also going to be filmed here"
When Huang Bo said this, he suddenly reacted: "Yes, I was almost confused. Didn't your company rent a studio here for "The Wandering Earth"? I heard that it seems to be filmed this year!"
There is no need for Yuan Hua to hide it: "Well, we also plan to shoot here"
Huang Bo immediately glanced at him resentfully: "You have already rented a studio here, so you must have done your homework, so why are you pretending to be a novice and listening to me explaining science to you, just to make fun of me?"
Yuan Hua laughed loudly: "I didn't say that I hadn't been here, I just said that I hadn't filmed here. If you insist on giving me popular science, what can I do?"
"Oh", Huang Bo was about to roll up his sleeves and argue with him, Yuan Hua hurriedly interrupted:
"Then what, since Brother Bo happened to be talking about this, let me tell you by the way to ask for a leave of absence¡ª¡ª
I plan to go to the crew of "The Wandering Earth" to see how their preparations are going Don't worry, I'll just go there for a while, and I'll be back soon, do you think it's okay? "
The locations of the locations are basically connected together, and they are not far away anyway. In the past, they could return within an hour at the earliest. Huang Boran had no reason to stop him, so he replied:
