The movie "Lonely Island" tells the story of a group of shipwreck survivors who were stranded on an uninhabited island. At the beginning, the director didn't want to shoot this story himself, but someone came to him and asked him to shoot it. The composition of the investors is rather special. They are not any film and television companies, nor are they capitals that want to get a piece of the pie in this circle. Instead, they are government-owned.
Jiangcheng is located in the coastal area of the southern administrative region and is one of the foreign trade port cities of the Republic. When mentioning this city, most people’s first impression is the "world factory". In recent years, the Jiangcheng government has been interested in developing tourism and has developed twelve islands headed by the Little Crescent Island, aiming to create a tourist resort. However, ideals are full and reality is skinny. The scenic spot built with huge investment is not as popular as imagined. It even seems deserted and pitiful when compared with the tourism industry of the two neighboring cities.
The Jiangcheng government has been trying to launch this project, but has always failed. At the beginning of last year, the movie "Animal Tale" was released. It grossed 1 billion yuan at the box office and boosted the business of zoos across the country. The government got inspiration from this incident and came up with the idea of using movies to promote tourist attractions. It soon took action and contacted major directors.
At that time, Director Gu was the only big director in the circle who had availability, so the Jiangcheng government set its sights on him. After more than two months of contact and negotiation, the film was finally finalized, and the script was decided after the director's on-site inspection.
Firstly, as a film with obvious promotional purposes, it had to be shot on real scenes as much as possible. Another thing is that the plot of "Lonely Island" except for the cruise ship scene at the beginning takes place on the island. Except for the special effects part that needs to be done in the studio, the rest can be shot on location. In the past two years, the value of stars has skyrocketed, and their pay has increased like a rocket. The crew's schedule is also extremely tight, resulting in many scenes being shot in the studio and various scenes being added in post-production. Due to the limited budget and large amount of post-production, the quality can be imagined.
In theory, a movie like "Lonely Island" needs to be shot on location, but directors usually don't have enough say and can't control the stars, so they have to compromise in the end. Director Gu is different. He is one of the top five directors in China and has been firmly established as a top director for many years. His movies are undoubtedly the best pie for actors. There are too many people who want to take advantage of it. If you don’t cooperate, there will naturally be others who are willing to obey.
"The Island" has attracted widespread attention from the outside world since its preparation. There are countless fanciful and fabricated stories on major forums, and the battles between fans and haters it has triggered are even more numerous. Some time ago, the news came out that the casting was completed and the filming was about to begin, and all major forums were in a frenzy again. Every family is looking forward to the fact that they will get the big prize, while at the same time they are madly stepping on the other family.
During this period, every relevant post will receive attention.
One day at noon, a post appeared in the entertainment section of the Nanzhou platform.
Topic: I'm bored, let me reveal some information, GD's second male lead
No.0 Rock Sugar Pear: Minor
No.1 Sankouzhi: Daydreaming is more realistic!
no.2c: Internet drama stars are so arrogant!
No.3 He Zhi Keyi: Hurry up and grab my cute girl from the front row! The person who posted the thread is in trouble!
…
no.28 Abaibai is always eighteen years old: If you make up something more realistic, you should make it more realistic. If you say he is an online idol, I can still play with you for a while, but just show him as a web drama star. Don’t make your purpose of blackening him too obvious!
no.29 dire: This little 18th-tier internet celebrity has so many dramas, and he doesn't even have a TV series that's been broadcast on TV, yet he dares to dream of being the second male lead in a big director's movie. Why don't you go for it?
no.30 Storm Throne: mdzz, my Meng Er is so lazy that he hasn’t updated his Weibo for half a month, and he hasn’t attended any activities. I don’t know how he has irritated the OP so much that I have to post a thread to discredit him! Take my Menger away. If anyone downstairs throws dirty water on him again, he will be in trouble for three years!
No.31 Muzhizhi: I guess it’s H company. The TV series is about to be launched and all kinds of hype are being put up. Recently, they have been buying press releases like crazy, and they are trying to promote it by stepping on minors. I seriously suspect that those black pictures released were screened out frame by frame by the team, and all the skill points were added to the screenshots!
no.32 Gang up when we meet: I agree with the above. Although Minor became famous with his first drama and signed with Hongguang, the company probably hasn't figured out how to develop him yet and hasn't had time to finalize his character. There won't be many companies at this time. I guess only his peers dislike him. The latest one he's going to star in is a costume drama, and even a fool can see who's criticizing him.

No.106 Rock Sugar and Snow Pear: I knew no one would believe it. Here is the picture. Director Gu showed up at the Jiangcheng x Hotel. The minor and his staff were also there that day. They were there for an audition [Picture][Picture]
No.107 Sad Song: Damn!
no.108 Time has failed me: It is actually true!
no.109 Haha, you look like this: I almost believed it. It's just an audition, and I don't know if I'll be chosen or not. Even if I'm chosen, I'll just be a supporting role at best, the second male lead? The face is =__________________________= big!
…
With the joint efforts of fans and haters as well as onlookers, the post quickly grew into a tall building and remained on the homepage for several days. Afterwards, major entertainment bloggers came out to make the situation even more muddy. However, most of the participants probably have only one thing in common, which is that no one believes this is true.
A few days later, "The Island" was officially announced. The official Weibo account released a set of photos, and Jing Ling's figure appeared in the first row, behind the male and female protagonists.
