Chapter 325 "Terror Cruise"
After Zhen Zhen celebrated her first birthday, Song Qi and An Qin did not take her back to the capital, but stayed on Miracle Island.
After the park opened in April, the weather on Miracle Island gradually improved.
The weather has started to get warmer, and there are already tourists surfing on the beach.
As the little princess of the family, Zhen Zhen is undoubtedly the second mistress of this dinosaur park.
But this is not her first time on the island.
When filming "Inception", the scene where she played Song Bu's daughter and played with sand on the beach was filmed on the island.
This time, Song Qi promised An Qin that the scene he helped her film would also be filmed on Miracle Island, but not on the island, but on the sea.
With Zhen Zhen around, An Qin couldn't escape completely and devoted herself to filming, and she didn't want to leave Zhen Zhen.
Therefore, big productions like "Inception" will definitely not be possible.
Therefore, what Song Qi plans to shoot this time is a low-cost film, "Terror Cruise".
This is also a classic psychological suspense horror movie, which has always been praised by the audience because of its perfect closed-loop logic.
Moreover, the scene is very simple, and most of the plot is shot on the ship, so the shooting is not difficult.
Song Qi plans to use this film as a promotional film for this year's first horror film festival to promote it.
The approval process for the Horror Film Festival has been completed, and cities are currently being selected to apply for the festival.
There are many cities that want to apply to host the film, and the five major film festivals have proven that hosting the film festival is an excellent opportunity to promote the city.
And this time it is the first horror film festival, which has a better publicity effect, so many cities do not want to miss this opportunity.
Among all the cities that applied, the ones with the highest voices are Shimen City and Tumiao City. If nothing else happens, the final result will be decided between these two cities.
After half a month's rest in April, Song Qi contacted an oil tanker for maintenance through Mossad, spent some money to rent it, and drove it to a shipyard in the coastal province.
Afterwards, Song Qi arranged for the crew to come to the island and begin preparations for filming "Terror Cruise".
On May 1st, the filming of "Terror Cruise" officially started.
Although Song Qi did not focus on publicity this time, as the current box office king, his every move is eagerly watched by netizens, so after the news was announced, it quickly aroused a lot of heated discussion.
Everyone is very curious, with "Inception" at the forefront, is there any other movie that can surpass the performance of "Inception"?
Of course, Song Qi did not expect "Terror Cruise" to break the box office record of "Inception".
Although the story of "Terror Cruise" is also very exciting, its cost and plot elements are inherently difficult to compete with at the box office.
It is more suitable as a representative of a genre, rather than a weapon to hit the super high box office.
The filming of this movie was different from that of "Inception", it was much more relaxed.
There is no need to travel all over the world, the scene is single, and the actors are few. If Song Qi is willing, he can even finish the film in two weeks.
However, there are still nearly four months until the Horror Film Festival is held, so there is no need to be in such a hurry.
Therefore, Song Qi and An Qin would take the crew on the yacht at ten o'clock every morning and drive to the offshore. The oil tanker would leave the shipyard in advance and park in a fixed sea area.
Afterwards, the crew boarded the boat and filmed until four in the afternoon, and then returned to the island before the sun went down.
Six hours of work a day, including time to travel and take the boat. For the crew who are used to working overtime, this work intensity is no different from a vacation.
In addition, Song Qi and An Qin have to fly back to the capital with Zhen Zhen from time to time for physical examinations, and the crew will also take a vacation, which is very exciting.
I continued shooting like this in a leisurely manner, and May passed quickly.
June 7th was another ordinary day. Song Qi and An Qin were filming a scene on an oil tanker. Suddenly, Song Qi's cell phone rang.
This is his work-specific mobile phone. It only has the numbers of Xiao Ran, Xiao Yang and a few others. Only they can contact him when filming.
In general, the things they can handle can basically be solved by themselves, and the things they need to contact are usually relatively big things.
After calling a stop, Song Qi answered the phone: "Hello? Xiao Yang, what's wrong?"
On the other end of the phone, Xiao Yang explained: "Boss, Mr. Xiao Jiang just called and asked me to inform you that Director Jiang Huai has passed away."
"What?"
Song Qi was caught off guard and his eyes suddenly widened: "Died? When did it happen?"
"Just this morning, I don't want to ask more about the specific situation. Why don't you call Mr. Xiao Jiang back and ask?"
"Okay, I get it."
Song Qi hurriedly hung up the phone.
An Qin stopped the performance and withdrew from the emotion of the performance.
Hearing Song Qi's low tone, she came closer and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Jiang Huai passed away." Song Qi took out his main cell phone, turned it on, and explained.
"What? Passed away?"
An Qin was also surprised: "When he came to attend Zhen Zhen's first birthday party, wasn't he still fine? Why did he pass away suddenly?"
During Zhen Zhen's first birthday party, Jiang Huai came over and gave Zhen Zhen a big red envelope.
During that meeting, he looked very good, talked and laughed, and even shouted a few words to Lin Yunsheng.
How long had it passed before he suddenly passed away?
Song Qi didn't know the specific situation, so he didn't explain it. He just dialed Jiang Hai's phone number.
Jiang Hai's phone was on a call and he was obviously busy.
Song Qi hung up the phone and asked the crew to prepare to call it a day, then sat on a chair and waited.
After a while, the phone rang, and it was Jiang Hai who came back.
"Hello? Song Qi, it's me..."
Jiang Hai's voice sounded a little tired.
"Jiang Hai, Director Jiang passed away?"
Song Qi ignored the pleasantries and asked hurriedly: "How did he pass away? Was he sick?"
"No, it's just that the day has come."
Jiang Hai explained a few words.
JAC has been preparing to shoot a new movie since March.
This time he filmed the latest work in the "Star Destroyer" series, "Star Destroyer: Alien Beasts". It is said that it was a movie that he prepared carefully. He had very high requirements for props, special effects and other aspects, and he prepared it until five
It won't be ready until the middle of the month.
During this period, he came to attend Zhen Zhen's first birthday party, but did not show anything unusual.
Even when filming started in early June, he didn't show any discomfort. Instead, he was particularly energetic and his legs and feet became much more agile.
However, just this morning, when the crew was about to start filming, he collapsed on the director's chair.
He would arrive at the scene on time every day for filming. Sometimes he would instruct the on-site staff to set up the scene, and other times he would take a nap on the director's chair to recuperate.
Therefore, everyone thought he was sleeping this time. Later, when the assistant came to call him, they realized something was wrong. After the ambulance arrived, the doctor announced on the spot that he had passed away.
After hearing his explanation, Song Qi finally understood the reason.
He comforted Jiang Hai: "If this is the case, then the old man can be considered dead! He was still making movies at the last moment of his life. He should have passed away very happily."
"Um."
Jiang Hai responded and asked: "Song Qi, I brought my dad back. The funeral will be held in three days. Do you have time to see him off?"
"certainly."
