Chapter 260: Pacific Rim Filming Completed
At the end of November, Hu Jing also came to visit the set.
She wore a long white down jacket, her hair was loose over her shoulders, and she wore light makeup, making her look gentle and elegant.
"Sister Jing is here?"
Fan Binbin came out of the dressing room, saw Hu Jing, and greeted her with a smile.
"Um.
I brought you some food.
"Thank you, Sister Jing."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hu Jing walked over to Fu Yibai and sat down on the folding chair next to him.
"What have you been busy with lately?"
"I just finished filming a movie, so I'm taking a few days off."
Hu Jing paused.
"By the way, I saw Yang Rong a few days ago. She came back from her trip and looked much better."
"Oh? She's finally back?"
Lin Wei has been complaining to me about this for a long time.
"Haha, Rongrong is so lucky."
The girls were extremely envious.
We're too busy with all the announcements, but she manages to travel for half a year.
"Qin Lan also mentioned this to me a few days ago."
It seems everyone is really tired.
I'll think of a way.
This will allow you to rest, and it will also relieve Lin Wei's headache.
"real!"
Hu Jing was delighted upon hearing this.
"Okay, wait for my good news."
That evening, Hu Jing did everything she could to repay Fu Yibai.
When Fu Yibai left the hotel the next day, she was still fast asleep.
In mid-December, filming for Pacific Rim entered its final stage.
The final scene is the climax of the entire movie—the final battle between the Gipsy Danger and the monster.
This scene was filmed in front of a green screen, and all the backgrounds were composited in post-production, but it placed high demands on the actors because all their reactions had to be imagined.
Deng Chao stood in front of the green screen, wearing that heavy mecha suit, his forehead covered in sweat.
Fan Binbin stood next to him, also wearing a mecha suit, her hair wet with sweat and plastered to her forehead.
"Action!"
Fu Yibai's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
Deng Chao and Fan Binbin both got into the zone at the same time.
Deng Chao leaned back slightly, as if he was under tremendous pressure.
His arms were trembling, the trembling spreading from his shoulders to his fingers, every muscle straining.
"Power system damaged, left arm unresponsive!"
The staff member next to him was reciting his lines.
"Switch to the backup system!"
Deng Chao gritted his teeth, squeezing out the words from his throat.
"The backup system is also compromised!"
"Then use your hands!"
Deng Chao roared, his eyes bloodshot.
"We must beat this beast to death with our hands!"
Fan Binbin, standing beside him, was also under immense pressure.
Her body was trembling, but her eyes were resolute.
"I'll help you." Her voice wasn't loud, but it was steady.
"you--"
"Shut up and focus on fighting."
Fan Binbin interrupted him, her fingers flying across the control panel.
.........
They finally finished filming the last scene as it got dark.
"Card!"
Fu Yibai's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"That take is done! Filming wrapped!"
Deng Chao stepped down from in front of the green screen, took off his mecha suit, and was soaked to the bone, as if he had been pulled out of the water.
The set erupted in cheers and applause, the fatigue washed away by joy.
Fu Yibai stepped forward and hugged Deng Chao and Fan Binbin tightly.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone! Tonight is the wrap party, let's drink until we drop!"
The wrap party for Pacific Rim was held at a hotel near the China Film Group Corporation's film studio.
When Fu Yibai arrived, the private room was already full of people.
Deng Chao was holding a wine glass and bragging to several assistant directors when he saw him come in, and immediately stood up.
"Director Fu! Come, come, sit here!"
He pulled out the chair for the head of the table, behaving as attentively as a hotel waiter.
"You've had a hard day."
Fu Yibai sat down in the main seat.
"It's not hard work, it's not hard work."
Director Fu, I'd like to propose a toast to you.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity.
"Sit down, sit down, don't stand."
Fu Yibai pressed his hand down.
"Your performance in this film was excellent; I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
Deng Chao grinned and tilted his head back to drink the wine in his glass in one gulp.
The wrap party ended after 10 p.m.
The winter nights in Beijing are bitterly cold, and your breath turns into white mist.
Fu Yibai stood at the hotel entrance, watching Deng Chao being helped into the car by his assistant, and then watching several assistant directors walk arm in arm toward the roadside.
The next day, Fu Yibai returned to the company.
Several documents were spread out on the desk, the top one being Zhao Qi's recently submitted broadcast data report for "The Voice of China" and "Go Fighting!".
He turned to the first page, his eyes landing on the string of numbers.
"The Voice of China" premiered on Nebula Video in early December, and its viewership exceeded 30 million on the first day of its broadcast, with the comments section filled with positive reviews.
"Zhang Liangying is so beautiful! She also has a strong singing voice, a great stage presence, and her critiques are very professional!"
"I never imagined that China could produce a music variety show of this caliber. Chenxi is awesome!"
The data for "Go Fighting!" is even more impressive than that for "The Voice of China".
The show garnered over 40 million views on its premiere day, with the screen filled with comments.
"Sun Honglei is hilarious, hahaha, he completely ignores the director's explanation of the other party's rules."
"Huang Bo and Huang Lei are also very interesting. They are both so clever that they have the others completely fooled."
"I feel like this is even more interesting than Running Man?"
I love watching people break the rules.
The data for both variety shows was within his expectations, and could even be said to have slightly exceeded them.
