The director starts by learning from the abilities of renowned directors.

Chapter 52 In-depth Communication

On November 3rd, the crew of "Taken 2" officially announced the start of filming in Thailand.

When filming the first season, the crew was short of money and could only simulate Southeast Asia on the border. Now, the total investment for the second season has reached 5000 million yuan, so there is no need to skimp on the money that needs to be spent.

On the first day of filming, the crew shot scenes at the Grand Palace in Thailand, depicting the male lead Shen Long and his wife enjoying a happy vacation. After filming, Shen Qing looked at the bustling tourist spot and thought about the movie "Lost in Thailand" that he would inevitably film in the future.

I remember that the original version of "Lost in Thailand" was so popular that it even boosted tourism in Thailand, and the Thai Prime Minister even posted a message thanking Xu Zheng.

Then, when scams became rampant in Southeast Asia in later years, Xu Zheng was criticized for making the movie "Lost in Thailand".

To be honest, he was unfairly scolded, which may also be related to the decline in Xu Zheng's public image afterward.

Will Shen Qing's film "Lost in Thailand" boost tourism in Thailand?

Will future generations condemn them for this?

It doesn't really matter if I get a few scoldings, the real question is how safe Thailand and Southeast Asia are right now?

He didn't want anyone to underestimate the risks of traveling to Southeast Asia after watching his movie "Lost in Thailand," which could ultimately lead to danger.

But "Lost in Thailand" couldn't be left unmade.

So, will you shoot two movies at the same time, filming in the same location?

"Lost in Thailand" is an unmissable work among domestic comedies; another film, "SPL 2: A Time for Consequences," tells the story of a Southeast Asian human organ trafficking ring.

With two movies filmed and released at the same time, after watching "Lost in Thailand," I was eager to travel to Southeast Asia. But after seeing "SPL 2: A Time for Consequences" (of course, the movie's title is definitely not "SPL 2"), seeing such a bloody movie might make me lose interest in Southeast Asia.

If you watch "SPL 2: A Time for Consequences" first and then "Lost in Thailand," you might think that Southeast Asia isn't so bad after all.

In short, let's try to find a middle ground.

"What are you thinking about?" Fan Bingbing appeared behind Shen Qing.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of a movie idea, and there's a role that you'd be perfect for."

"Really? What role?"

"Fan Bingbing!"

"Yes, I'm here. Tell me, what role would make a director like you say that no one else could do it?"

"Fan Bingbing!"

"You mean...you want me to play Fan Bingbing?"

"You finally understand. That's right, we want you to play Fan Bingbing naturally."

……

Nighttime, at the film crew's hotel.

In the complete darkness, accompanied by a buzzing vibration, the screen of the phone on the bedside table lit up.

It's Shen Qing's phone.

He stopped what he was doing, picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was a text message from Yang Mi.

Fan Bingbing's voice came from below: "Whose message?"

Shen Qing casually put her phone back on the bedside table and said, "She's probably trying to build a relationship with an actress I've worked with before, trying to get a role. Ignore her, let's continue..."

For some reason, Fan Bingbing let out a soft "Oh dear!" and then started laughing.

……

Beijing Film Academy dormitory.

The moment Yang Mi clicked send, she began to imagine Shen Qing's reaction after seeing the message.

Is it happiness? Surprise?

I still miss her. I wish I could stop filming and fly back to Beijing to see her.

Ten minutes passed, and the other party did not reply.

Twenty minutes passed, and the other side still hadn't replied.

Yang Mi thought to herself, "He's so busy filming, he's probably still in a meeting right now. He'll definitely call me back as soon as he's done."

Then 30 minutes passed, and Shen Qing still hadn't replied to the text message.

Yang Mi pulled the blanket over her head, thinking, "I'm not going to wait any longer. I'll go to sleep first, and he'll definitely have replied by the time I wake up tomorrow morning."

It was already very late, and Zhang Xiaofei, my roommate, was already snoring.

But the more she tried to sleep, the less she could. The more she tried to sleep, the more her mind wandered. What exactly was Shen Qing doing right now?

"Would he use the same methods to win over other girls? It seems he worked with Liu Yifei much earlier."

"No, she's playing Xiaolongnu, and I'm playing Guo Xiang. If Yang Guo is going to give her the golden needles, he can only give them to Guo Xiang. Why would he give them to Xiaolongnu?"

"Pah! She's not Little Dragon Girl, he's not Yang Guo, I'm not Guo Xiang, and they're not a couple at all."

I suddenly remembered that Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu were a couple in the TV series. Although Guo Xiang got three golden needles, she ended up living a lonely life and eventually became a nun. That made her unhappy.

She glanced at the time; 40 minutes had passed, and he still hadn't replied.

"I'm not waiting any longer, I'm going to sleep!" she thought to herself, making up her mind.

Then, I still couldn't fall asleep.

More than an hour later.

She was already feeling a bit wronged, and she was thinking that she wouldn't reply to the text message when it came later, so that he would know what it felt like to wait like this.

Then, with a buzz, her phone vibrated; it was a text message from Shen Qing.

Yang Mi was overjoyed and quickly opened the text message:

"I was busy just now and only just saw the text message..."

After reading Shen Qing's reply word by word, Yang Mi began to reply to Shen Qing.

"You're working so late, I feel sorry for you. Get some rest. Managing such a big production like 'Taken 2' must be exhausting."

A moment later, Shen Qing's text message arrived again.

"I was just writing a script, a script where the female lead is the most outstanding character in the entire film. In the past, no matter how big the investment, the female lead and supporting actresses were mostly just pretty faces. This script is very special; it's a standard female lead script. If the show becomes a hit, the female lead will definitely become a hit too."

Yang Mi asked cautiously, "Really? What kind of script is it about?"

She was tempted, but she was afraid that if she spoke up directly, Shen Qing would look down on her.

"A film about beaches, the sea, healing, and courage."

Yang Mi replied, "Looking forward to this movie."

A moment later, Shen Qing sent another text message: "You really should be looking forward to this movie the most."

"Why should I be most looking forward to this movie?" Yang Mi had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, and her heart started pounding even harder. She texted him, "Why should I be most looking forward to it?"

Shen Qing's text message arrived again. This time it said, "Because it's a script tailor-made for you, a script I wrote especially for you."

Looking at the latest text message, Yang Mi was suddenly overwhelmed with happiness. She felt guilty thinking about how she had been slightly angry with Shen Qing for replying slowly.

"Am I really suitable?" she texted.

Shen Qing replied, "Of course, otherwise why would it be called 'tailor-made for you'?"

Yang Mi looked at the reply message, reading it over and over again, unable to get enough of it.

……

Thailand, the film crew's hotel.

Shen Qing leaned against the headboard and replied to Yang Mi's text message.

Next to her was Fan Bingbing, who was already asleep.

After more than an hour of fussing, she was exhausted.

"The Shallows" is a movie that Shen Qing wanted to make when he gained Spielberg's abilities. He originally wanted to cast Liu Yan in it, but now he has decided to leave it to Yang Mi.

That's why he replied to Yang Mi in a very serious manner that he had actually been writing a script tailored specifically for her for the past hour or so.

After replying to another text message, Shen Qing looked at Fan Bingbing, who was sleeping soundly with her shoulders exposed, and suddenly felt that she was being a bit of a jerk.

After getting Wan Qian, he also got Fan Bingbing, and after getting Fan Bingbing, he got involved with Yang Mi.

Greed will inevitably lead to trouble sooner or later!

But he had no intention of breaking up with the other two, only wanting to be with one person for life, and he didn't even have the determination to stop bothering other people in the future.

Because he knew that even if he made up his mind now, it would be useless. He was in a state of enlightenment now, and any decision he made would be overturned by his future, non-enlightened self.
