Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

"Minister British, the last emperor is a big production with an expected investment of 20 million U.S. dollars. I hope to get the full support of the government to allow full-scene shooting in the Forbidden City." Qiao Feng solemnly said in an office of the Ministry of Culture. .

"Mr. Qiao, you can go to China to cooperate with us to make a film without shying away from the external situation. We are very happy and welcome. We have reviewed and approved the Last Emperor script you submitted. We fully support what is needed for filming, but the Forbidden City is different from others. The place is full of national cultural relics. I am afraid it is inappropriate to use it for live shooting.” The British Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Culture first welcomed the cooperation in filming, and then looked embarrassed to refuse Qiao Feng's request for live shooting in the Forbidden City.

On the side, the person in charge of the China Film Co-production Company, commonly known as the co-production company, who is responsible for the management, coordination and service of Chinese-foreign cooperative film production is a little anxious.

This is a big production with an expected investment of 20 million U.S. dollars. It is a big production that has never been seen in China. Although the leading company is a Hong Kong company, after all, the co-production company has also mixed it up. Later, we will say that we have co-produced a two-thousand-one film with Hong Kong Ten thousand dollar large-scale production movies are also glamorous.

Besides, this is Qiao Feng's movie. Other people in China may not know who Qiao Feng is, but how could the person in charge of the co-production company not know.

When the fast gunner was filming in Dunhuang, the filming assistance from Xiying was the co-production company to make contact.

There is also the Shaolin boy who Qiao Feng funded the script and was also filmed by the co-production company and the Hong Kong Leftist Film Company.

There was also a direct cooperation with Qiao Feng, that is, Kung Fu Boys broke into love. This film was jointly produced by Qiao Feng and the co-production company. The domestic copyright belongs to the co-production company.

If it's a commercial film, then it won't cooperate if you don't cooperate, but this last emperor is obviously not. This is a feature film, a biographical drama. From the content of the script, it is obviously going to be released in Europe and America.

Of course, this can be seen only by the expected investment of 20 million US dollars. Otherwise, if the film is released in the mainland, Hong Kong, and even Southeast Asia, the film will not even be able to recover the cost.

This is the biggest investment in a film produced by Qiao Feng. If you can't even cover the cost, it would be funny.

Qiao Feng's undefeated golden body was broken, no doubt, Qiao Feng would not let such things happen.

Of course, this film can only be released in Europe and America, especially in North America.

A story about Chinese people in Europe and the United States for European and American people to see, this is what a showy thing. This is to get another international award, even if there is a nomination, it is also very important for China now An angry thing.

"Minister, there is a precedent for filming in the Forbidden City. You forgot. In 1973, the American company nbc filmed the documentary "Forbidden City" in the Forbidden City." The head of the co-production company reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, I remembered, I remembered, there is such a thing." Vice Minister Ying nodded suddenly, but still said to Qiao Feng embarrassedly: "Mr. Qiao, although there are precedents, but that After all, it is a documentary. It only shoots the landscape of the Forbidden City, and there are so many people. It is completely different from the large-scale shooting of the last emperor's film of tens of thousands of people. More people can easily cause some damage to the Forbidden City. Damage to cultural relics."

"Minister British, the last emperor, I invested 20 million U.S. dollars in order to make it into a magnificent, colorful, and spectacular epic film. If you can't shoot in the Forbidden City but choose to set the scene, it will definitely be less. It would be a considerable damage to this movie that has accumulated a lot of historical vicissitudes over hundreds of years. Moreover, this is a good opportunity to introduce modern Chinese history to the west, and we should shoot it even more. The perfection is perfect, isn't it?" Qiao Feng organized the words and said again.

"This...well, I will report it to my superiors and see if I can get permission?" Deputy Minister Ying said after a moment of pondering.

...................

"how about it,

"The script has been reviewed, but live shooting in the Forbidden City is still not allowed." Qiao Feng said helplessly.

"Hey, I know." After Li Hanxiang was disappointed, he smiled and shook his head. Although he hoped that he could be allowed to shoot in the Forbidden City, he was actually prepared to be denied.

Because of this kind of thing, Li Hanxiang had already encountered it once when he was shooting the curtain of Tingzheng two years ago. That time he also wanted to shoot in the Forbidden City with hope, but the application was finally rejected.

Although the actual filming locations of the play include the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, Chengde Mountain Resort, the Eight Outer Temples of Chengde, the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty, etc., they are all limited filming. Especially for the Forbidden City, when the Emperor Tongzhi ascended the throne, it can only The outside scenes are filmed, and the rest of the inside scenes will be shot elsewhere.

In the cut shots, there is a picture of the main entrance of the main hall behind the emperor being blocked by iron bars when he was enthroned.

"Don't be discouraged." Qiao Feng smiled and comforted: "At any rate, the script has passed the review, and there are no restrictions on the content to be deleted. This is already a big victory. Besides, it is not completely hopeless for the live shooting. Minister Ying agreed to go up. Reflect the application, maybe it will give us good news in the end."

"It can only be so." Li Hanxiang said with a sigh of discouragement.

"Let's go, go back. Now that the script has been reviewed and approved, the other characters in the follow-up should also be selected and decided. Start preparations as soon as possible, and when the results come, we will start the pre-production." Qiao Feng said.

The filming of the last emperor is a huge project. Of course, all the serious domestic historical drama filming projects are quite huge.

For such a huge project, it is certainly impossible to say that all the personnel are fully assembled and then start shooting. Then I don't know how much time was lost and how much investment it cost.

Take Puyi's enthronement ceremony as an example. The number of extras needed is no less than two thousand. It is impossible to wait for all these two thousand extras to be found before starting a movie.

If the filming of the enthronement ceremony is late, you don’t know how much it will cost to eat and drink with extras alone, let alone pay.

Therefore, shooting can only be prepared while shooting, and when the big scene is not ready, take some simple scenes first.

For the big production of 20 million US dollars, the co-production company took the most important attitude, and soon it was only a week, and the preliminary preparations were almost done.

Then, the notice came down.
