Save the Bachelor of Heaven

In April, "A World Without Thieves" officially started filming.

Wang Baoqiang played Shagen.

Originally, Xiang Nan wanted to use Huang Bo to act, after all, both of them are good at acting grass roots.

But when it came time to audition and make-up, no matter how I looked at it, I felt awkward.

Later, Xiang Nan figured it out.

Although Huang Bo looks similar to Wang Baoqiang in acting, they are actually completely different.

Huang Bo is good at playing shrewd little characters, such as Hei Pi, Niu Er, Geng Hao, etc.; Wang Baoqiang is good at playing silly grassroots, such as Sha Gen, Xu Sanduo, Mr. Shu, etc.

Huang Bo has been singing in bars since he was in middle school, formed a band, taught dance, opened a factory, and traveled extensively. He has rich experience, sharp eyes, and shrewdness.

Unlike Wang Baoqiang, who was fascinated by watching "Shaolin Temple" back then, he really went to Shaolin Temple to practice martial arts, and practiced for six years at a stretch. This infatuation alone is not something ordinary people can have.

That's why he acted as a simple, kind, and inexperienced fool, so people believed him. As for Huang Bo, he is more suitable to play those thieves.

So Xiang Nan could only replace Huang Bo, and invited Wang Baoqiang again.

Fortunately, Wang Baoqiang had already won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer with the movie "Blind Well" at that time, and he had a certain reputation in the circle, so it was still easy to find.

Moreover, he happened to have no filming at the moment, so after receiving the invitation, he readily agreed.

...

Xiang Nan took the opportunity to invite him to join Zhiqing. Wang Baoqiang also didn't even hit him, so he nodded immediately.

It turned out that although he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer, it did not boost his career much.

Because in the entertainment industry, if you want to do well, connections are far more important than strength.

Without the support of noble people, relying on one's own strength alone, no matter how good the acting skills are, it is impossible to get ahead.

To be honest, there is no shortage of actors who can act in the entertainment industry. Just the major repertory troupes in Yanjing alone must have many outstanding talents. If no one likes it, you can only act in dramas, and acting for a lifetime is not as profitable as a star making a movie.

On the contrary, those streams don't have any acting skills. But because there is capital to support, so every drama is the protagonist. This is the coldest reality.

This is the case with Wang Baoqiang. Although his acting skills are good, but he is a grassroots person with no background and connections. Even if he wins the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer, it is useless.

Therefore, when "A World Without Thieves" invited him, he came immediately. As soon as he said he wanted to sign him, he immediately agreed, for fear that Xiang Nan would go back on his word.

...

After Wang Baoqiang joined the crew, the crew of "A World Without Thieves" quickly set off to Qinghai for filming.

For one thing, Ching Hai also has plateaus, lakes, and lama temples, and its geomorphological features and cultural customs are similar to those of Tibet. However, the infrastructure in Ching Hai is more complete. It is much cheaper and labor-saving to transport equipment, personnel, and materials to Ching Hai than to Tibet.

Secondly, the lowest altitude of Ching Hai is 1,600 meters, while the lowest altitude of Xizang is 4,000 meters. Therefore, when filming in Ching Hai, altitude sickness will not be too obvious.

Filming is actually a physical job. Time-consuming, labor-intensive, and mentally consuming. In addition, in order to keep in shape, most of the artists are often malnourished, and they are all as thin as a reed stick.

If the altitude sickness is too severe, it may be life-threatening at any time. So filming in Qinghai, the safety factor is much higher.

...

"Xiao Yuan, you're a good kid. Have you made more than 8 billion yuan?" Zhao Benshan asked Xiang Nandao with a smile.

"Hey, it's just stocks. Virtual numbers are not as good as real money." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "It's said to be 8 billion, but in fact it's really going to be sold, and it's more than half the price."

"That's quite remarkable." Zhao Benshan smacked his lips and said, "More than four billion, oh my god, let alone you young people, the waves behind the Yangtze River are driving the waves ahead."

"Don't dare to be. You always stand proudly at the forefront." Xiang Nan waved his hands and smiled, "By the way, Mr. Zhao, let's make a TV together."

"Okay, what are you shooting?" Zhao Benshan nodded and asked straightforwardly.

"To make a romantic drama with a rural theme, I will provide the script and funds, and your folk art troupe will produce actors." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I watch current TV dramas, and there are very few rural themes. They are all urban people falling in love. , looking for a job, doing business.

But there are still 700 to 800 million farmers in China, I think they should like rural dramas, don't you always say? "

"Oh, your idea is the same as mine." Zhao Benshan clapped his hands excitedly when he heard it, "That's why I filmed "Liu Laogen" and "Ma Dashuai". Look how popular it is now."

"Yes, then we're done with that?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"It's fixed, it's fixed, it's a good thing, why not?" Zhao Benshan said with a smile.

To Youth Films has funds, and the Folk Art Troupe has artists, and the two hit it off.

If the TV series becomes popular, it will be a member of the art troupe. At that time, tickets for Liu Laogen's big stage will be sold more, so why is he not happy.

Besides, if he doesn't cooperate with Qiao, Xiang Nan can find someone else to cooperate, and the cheap one will be someone else.

...

The filming of "A World Without Thieves" went smoothly.

For one thing, Xiang Nan played in person as the big boss, and no one dared to play big names in the crew. I dare not say that they are all conscientious, at least they are honest and do their jobs well. Everyone worked hard, and the filming naturally went smoothly.

Secondly, the difficulty of shooting this movie was not very great. Most of the scenes are interior scenes, shot in sheds. I also used some green screen cutout techniques, such as the scenery outside the window when the train is moving.

Thirdly, although there are a few action scenes in the film, they are far from Jackie Chan and Li Lianjie's style of fighting, but the fighting is small and fierce, and the size of the land is full of enemies...

Although Xiang Nan is not a serious trainer, he has inherited Liu Feng's military accomplishment after all. It is still very easy to fight at close quarters and play tricks.

The film started shooting in April, and by July, it was basically finished. The rest is post-production and film distribution.

...

During the filming of "A World Without Thieves", Tencent officially landed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with an opening price of 3.7 yuan and a total market value of 6.2 billion.

Xiang Nan holds 21% of the shares. He is not only the largest individual shareholder of Tencent, but also the largest shareholder. In comparison, the founder of Tencent only owns 8% of the shares.

Xiang Nan's net worth of 8 billion has shrunk slightly, but he is still the richest group of people, which has attracted countless people to go crazy.

Xiang Nan received hundreds of calls a day, and hundreds of people came to visit the crew in person... Among them were those who sought investment, some who raised funds, and some who recommended cooperation projects.

Xiang Nan knew why Chinese people had to cover up to receive the prize after winning the lottery, and they had to move overnight.

So after the film was finished, he also quickly hid.
