The amount of time each film spends in pre-production, mid-production, and post-production is certainly not the same.
For example, the movie "Black Clouds" takes a long time to prepare, and many big-name stars need to be invited to make cameos. As for "Zhuang Hua Luo", the pre-production and mid-term shooting took a long time. As for "Silent", it didn't take too long, because it was a very simple campus movie, the scene requirements were not difficult, and the post-production special effects were simple.
The old Holt film required very complex special effects techniques. Qin Cheng told Rong Xu about this movie at the Berlin Film Festival last year. At that time, Qin Cheng only mentioned a general idea and did not go into details. However, it is obvious that this movie will definitely require powerful special effects technology.
The film is a sci-fi movie in which one of the two male protagonists is a humanoid robot, and the story is set in the high-tech era decades later. If it is shoddy, it can be like some bad movies with special effects, don't prepare too much. But neither old Holt nor Rong Xu and Qin Cheng would be able to make such a lousy film with special effects.
Luo Zhentao carefully explained to Rong Xu the results of his communication with the old Holt. Of course, the big Hollywood director also wanted to shoot his works earlier. The special effects studio he found was already the top in the world. But to get the effect he had in mind at first, it would take at least half a year of preparation.
Originally, Rong Xu had intentionally vacated his schedule in the second half of the year and reserved it for this movie. Unfortunately, people are not as good as God. What Mr. Holt meant was, I hope he can wait a little longer.
Faced with this situation, Rong Xu didn't think for long before replying to Luo Zhentao: "Brother Luo, look at my schedule next year, discuss it with Mr. Holt, and try to free up the right time."
Luo Zhentao responded immediately.
The matter of the movie was settled for the time being. Of course Luo Zhentao hoped that Rong Xu would take over the movie, but he also felt that waiting for so long might have a certain impact on Rong Xu, who was on the rise. But it's just that the plan is disrupted. As an agent, he will be busy, so he has to find the announcement quickly to fill this blank period. If you refuse to make a movie, the impact on Rong Xu will be even greater. And of course he didn't know that Qin Cheng had already decided to sign the film, if Rong Xu didn't go to make it...
"I'm not going, who are you going to have a sex scene with? Huh?"
As soon as the voice fell, there was a low and pleasant laughter on the other end of the phone. A certain man was obviously very satisfied with his boy's reaction. He didn't say anything, just smiled lowly. After Rong Xu sneered and said "Qin Cheng", the latter said seriously: "Xiao Xu, if it weren't for you, I won't act." After a pause, he added coaxingly: "I definitely won't act, okay?"
As a star, it is inevitable to shoot some intimate scenes with other actors, which is unavoidable. However, there are a lot of intimacy scenes in this play directed by Holt. They are not erotic movies, but they have more intimacy scenes than normal movies. This is also one of the reasons why Rong Xu decided to act.
After the vacation in Hawaii, Rong Xu went to Europe to participate in the recent fashion week. And Qin Cheng is still attending various dinner parties to prepare for the "Extreme" award. Sometimes the two also happen to be in the same city and meet, but in most cases they still have more phone calls.
Just like now, let's talk about the movie that won't be made until next year, and talk about the recent situation. Whenever Rong Xu was about to hang up the phone at the end, a certain man would suddenly shout "Xiao Xu" in a low voice, and only after Rong Xu really asked him what else to do would he say in a calm voice: "I miss you."
When he said it for the first time, Rong Xu could still move in his heart and replied gently, "I miss you too."
After talking about the tenth, twentieth, and fiftieth times, Rong Xu's reaction was: "..."
Hearing the phrase "I miss you" again before hanging up the phone this time, the handsome and beautiful young man sighed and asked, "Qin Cheng, you can't put it another way, such as... I love you. Well, I do. I love you." At the end, he didn't even realize it, he couldn't help laughing.
On the other side of the phone, listening to the words of his youth expressing love, the tall and elegant man suddenly stopped. This is a banquet held in Beverly Hills, Hollywood. Many big-name stars gathered at the reception. The reception was staggered, and everyone was preparing for the upcoming Oscars.
Qin Cheng walked to the balcony, feeling the chilling evening wind, and after a long time, he said, "But Xiao Xu, I really miss you."
This was just a simple statement, but Rong Xu slowly opened his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly understood what the man meant.
The "I miss you" that has been said many times does sound a little tired, but from the beginning to the end, this man is just telling the truth.
I miss you.
I really miss you.
I really, really think about it, except that I miss you, I really can't think of any words to express my current mood.
There seems to be a warm emotion slowly emerging in his heart, the boy helplessly raised the corners of his lips, with a bright smile on his face, but his voice was sincere and serious: "Qin Cheng, I miss you too. Oscar is coming soon... Three days later See."
After carefully recalling the short words of his young man, Qin Cheng smiled lightly and hooked his lips: "Well, see you in three days."
The next day, after finishing an interview with a magazine, Rong Xu left China alone and flew to the United States on the other side of the ocean.
"Three Two Hundred Miles" did not win any awards at the Berlin Golden Bear Awards before, only a few technical awards. And this time, "Three Two Hundred Miles" was nominated for an Oscar, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Original Music, Best Supporting Actress and…
Best Actor Award.
