This is one of the most mysterious domestic films this year.

If director Xiao Feng hadn't posted such a Weibo, I'm afraid few people would know that this drama took 18 years.

In the past 8 years, the first 4 years were almost spent on polishing the script, and there was also an inflow and outflow of funds.

It stands to reason that if a movie has not been shot even after 4 years of preparation, the project should have been abandoned long ago, but Xiao Feng still insisted on making it.

I went through a series of self-destructive procedures such as financing loans, mortgage loans, liquidating stocks, redeeming investment funds, depleting personal savings, etc., and soon became the most indebted director in the country. Until October 2017, the tragic day finally came. My personal disposable cash wealth was only 1,516 yuan, and I was finally promoted to the poorest director in China.

This difficult movie has finally been announced.

If director Xiao Feng had not posted such a Weibo post, few people would have known that this drama took eight years. It stands to reason that if a movie has not started shooting even after 4 years of preparation, then the project should have been abandoned long ago, but Xiao Fen - DayDayNews-17.

They also released a quality edition special.

However, at today's press conference, the original lineup of superstars was only attended by "non-A-list" stars such as Zhang Junning and Geng Le.

What happened in " bombing "?

If director Xiao Feng had not posted such a Weibo post, few people would have known that this drama took eight years. It stands to reason that if a movie has not started shooting even after 4 years of preparation, then the project should have been abandoned long ago, but Xiao Fen - DayDayNews

"We Have a Good Show" (ID: youhaoxifilm), a subsidiary of "Poisonous Tongue", immediately interviewed director Xiao Feng, producer Jiang Haiyang, and executive producer Wang Ding, hoping to restore part of the truth.

Xiao Feng said that when the film was scheduled for May 17 this year, he had already received countless calls.

Xiao Feng, Jiang Haiyang and Wang Ding had never been interviewed by the media about "The Big Bomb" before, and they held back their words for a long time.

talked endlessly about the journey they have taken with "The Big Bang" over the years, and many of them, even though they are decades old, would often compete for words.

has experienced great ups and downs, and these people’s endurance has become much stronger. Xiao Feng joked that Jiang Haiyang and Wang Ding’s wives are used to answering work calls after 12:30 every night. They haven’t done so for a while now, Mrs. Instead, they felt it was abnormal.

Just kidding, Jiang Haiyang became excited several times when he saw the many questioning voices on the Internet.

He didn’t understand why these people would throw dirty water when they didn’t understand the actual situation. He, Xiao Feng, Wang Ding and a group of crew colleagues worked hard to film the movie. Some of the main creators had not received their pay yet, and Xiao Feng was even more unhappy during the entire post-production. Knowing how much money he borrowed, if the movie is not released again, the director may really be desperate .

The entire interview lasted nearly three hours, and the original draft was nearly 20,000 words.

Unfortunately, due to force majeure, "Poisonous Tongue" can only reluctantly remove part of it.

would like to apologize to the readers in advance.

——But Sir dares to say that this is still the most complete information about the "Bombing" crew in Chinese media.

hopes to have the opportunity to expose another part of in the future.

Because for domestic blockbusters to really hit the road, the first thing to do is to remove this layer of mystery.


PART 1

It took 4 years of preparation from 2010 to 2014, and there were 6 screenwriters before and after

Vicious tongue: Why did you film "The Big Bang"?

Xiao Feng: In the autumn of 2010, Yang Buting, the former chairman of China Film Group, invited me to make this movie. The reason why he invited me was that this movie involved a lot of special effects, and I was the first director to get involved in special effects. , which is relatively handy.

I have made many war movies, and I am also very interested in movies with a lot of special effects. Then as we learned more about this period of history, we slowly gathered a relatively strong preparatory team. Our director of photography at the time was the photographer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" Bao Dexi.

Everyone was very excited at the time and thought it was very challenging to make such a movie, so a launch ceremony was held on January 6, 2011.

The producers announced at the launch ceremony at that time were indeed the famous Hong Kong producer Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang , including the famous director Mr. Stephen Chow.

If director Xiao Feng had not posted such a Weibo post, few people would have known that this drama took eight years. It stands to reason that if a movie has not started shooting even after 4 years of preparation, then the project should have been abandoned long ago, but Xiao Fen - DayDayNews

The movie was originally called "Chongqing Bombing"

. From January 6, 2011, to December 2014, the preparation process was ups and downs, and script problems were encountered in the process.

The entire period of the Chongqing bombing was about five and a half years. How could such a grand and long historical event be expressed in a movie? We encountered many difficulties during the script stage.

We kept adjusting our ideas and changing the script. I can’t tell you how many drafts we revised. A total of 6 screenwriters participated in the creation.

The last screenwriter was my classmate Chen Ping. She is an experienced and famous screenwriter. I talked about "The Big Bang" with her. She got very excited when I mentioned the title of the film and didn't even think about it. Just say that I am willing to take this job. This draft of hers has undergone earth-shaking changes.

From this point on, we have a definite script, is three lines, air combat in the sky, spy war on the road, and a teahouse in Chongqing on the ground, where there is a mahjong competition.

If director Xiao Feng had not posted such a Weibo post, few people would have known that this drama took eight years. It stands to reason that if a movie has not started shooting even after 4 years of preparation, then the project should have been abandoned long ago, but Xiao Fen - DayDayNews

Many people say that Nolan's " Dunkirk " also has a three-line narrative, and you also have a three-line narrative. Which one of you will go first?

Actually, I don’t know who came first. Anyway, I don’t know about his three-line narrative. We started writing our three-line narrative in 2013, so it has been five years now. In fact, it doesn’t matter who comes first in this matter, it just depends on how your movie expresses it.

Vicious Tongue: After four years of preparation, the script has not yet been finalized, so you have never thought of giving up?

Xiao Feng: This may be due to personality. I often proudly tell my team members that I have never given up on what I want to do since I was a child, and I finally succeeded.

At that time, many people looked at us with suspicion when we made "The Big Bang" and thought it was impossible to make it.

So "The Big Bang" has been completed today, eight years ago, and it is a miracle that everything one wishes has come true. In this process, there are many principles for life and many principles for artistic creation, but we have not had time to summarize it. .

Ever since the movie "Bombing" was mentioned on the Internet in the past two days, countless phone calls came in, as if I was being rescued in the hospital. They all showed special concern, and with that kind of care, you can feel that the other person is showing genuine affection.

They felt that the sky was falling, and said that something had happened and I was sorry for your past eight years. They all know how we got here, but I have never had the concept of these eight years. It was just that a few friends mentioned it not long ago and after calculation, it was indeed eight years.

We can feel that making this movie is a responsibility. Now many people may hear the word responsibility and think it is all empty talk, but in fact it is not.

Since you entered this project, not only me as the director, but also our entire team of more than 1,500 people, everyone seems to have changed as a different person. It feels different from other movies.

We have so many celebrities on the set, but no one can act like a big name. We filmed for six or seven months, and the whole crew couldn't find anyone who acted like a big name.

During filming, the actors did everything themselves, and the actors did everything themselves. Even the dangerous and terrifying scenes in the church where many beams hit the heroine running towards her with her child were all shot by the actors themselves without the need for a stand-in.

If director Xiao Feng had not posted such a Weibo post, few people would have known that this drama took eight years. It stands to reason that if a movie has not started shooting even after 4 years of preparation, then the project should have been abandoned long ago, but Xiao Fen - DayDayNews

Later I thought, why have I never thought of giving up during these eight years of hard work?

It seemed that I made it clear when I called my buddy this morning. I said that this is my fate. Every scene I shoot is ups and downs, and everything I do is hard. My belief is that I will never give up in anything I do.And there is also an incomparable trust in myself, our team, and the friends around me. As long as everyone works together, any difficulty can be overcome.

So I have always said that our team spirit must be highlighted when promoting the movie "The Big Bang". A director cannot make a movie, it needs a team. We are a big bombing team in everything we do now. This team has never left us until now, and from the break of the capital chain in March 2016 to now, we are always there when called, so I have never been alone.

poisonous tongue: Is China Film the initiator?

Xiao Feng: This movie was initiated by China Film Group Corporation and then invited me to be the director. also had two private companies investing at the time. One of them was a young man who heard about the project in Shenzhen and came to Beijing to find me. He said I hope to invest in "Bombing" and we became friends later on.

poisonous tongue: Is this person in a film company?

Xiao Feng: If I am not a film company, I am just a young man who loves movies. But later, another private company felt that the investment pressure was too great and withdrew, and this young man also failed to invest in other projects. A series of blows also caused him to have doubts about continuing to invest in "The Big Bang". I said it doesn't matter, you can quit, and now I'm the only one left.

At this point, I had no choice but to passively take over all the rights to the project. The remuneration investment of the subsequent screenwriters also became my investment, and all the expenses for location selection were also paid by myself. So, I suddenly became a thorn that I couldn't get rid of.

PART 2

Investments were suspended many times from January to April 2015, and the director often gave money.

Vicious tongue: Did you encounter any difficulties after planning for filming again in early 2015? The capital chain seems to have been broken several times?

Xiao Feng: This plot is like the second TV series.

Jiang Haiyang: From January 2015 to the launch on April 27, what happened in these four months is simply unbearable to look back on. Sometimes I say this, and sometimes I say that.

Our entire scenery building team has already started setting up scenery in Xiangshan during the Spring Festival. The artists there say every day: Come on, your money is coming soon. We owe too much money here, and people don’t give us any wood. We have to work during the Spring Festival. None of the staff took a day off, saying that if things continued like this, they would all have no money for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

The investors here said that I am willing to invest, but I want to see a script that is approved, and I want to see how it goes. You say he doesn't make sense, but he does make sense to some extent, but movies have their own rules.

The two sides couldn't agree on the same thing. I felt very guilty for Xiao Feng, but his will was stronger than mine. He said that now that we have decided, we should move forward. There are difficulties in the art and setting, and we should find a way to solve it.

The artist was crying there, you think a man would be crying, he asked me two brothers whether you would succeed or not, you were celebrating the New Year, you had to leave your hometown...

Vengeful Tongue: How did you solve it later?

Xiao Feng: I advanced the money. A similar situation occurs three times before is started.

venomous tongue: From January to April 2015, the funds were stopped three times. Have the funds been cut off since the actual shooting?

Xiao Feng: I’ve broken it off. When Bruce Willis came, it was June 3rd, and the whole group spent more than 10,000 yuan, not even the deposit for his house.

Wang Ding: When we had the most drama, we were divided into four groups ABCD. The permanent population of the crew was more than 1,100, plus hundreds of floating extras every day.

The day Bruce Willis came, I asked the accountant how much money we still had in our account, and the accountant said it was only more than 10,000 yuan. From a shooting perspective, should have at least 200,000 to 400,000 spare cash in the safe every day, but we don’t often fall far below this number.

So everything we buy in Xiangshan is on credit, and we pay IOU for everything. Often the director takes the money to resist for a while.

Xiao Feng: Later, my money was transferred here. As long as the employer’s money came, it would be returned to me. If there was no money, I would take over again.

poisonous tongue: How many times have you done this?

Xiao Feng: I can’t remember clearly.

Wang Ding: Too many times, this is simply impossible to say.

Xiao Feng: I remember the bank statement very clearly, and eventually I got used to it. I opened the laptop I brought with me, plugged in the USB flash drive, typed in the words "Advance payment for the filming of "Bombing", and printed it out after the transfer was completed. Accountant, pay me back when you have the money.

Jiang Haiyang: We are a poor group that invests heavily.

Vicious tongue: Are there any unpaid wages to the crew?

Jiang Haiyang: No, this is what we need to grasp. We cannot default on paying the employees in the team.

Wang Ding: The only good thing about us is that we never owe money to the crew.

Xiao Feng: When the crew cannot meet the funding requirements, we pool money and solve the problem ourselves. Nowadays, we can’t support so many people in post-production. We do everything by ourselves. We pay for the air tickets ourselves. Sometimes he buys them, sometimes I buy them. As time goes by, we can’t find the tickets.

Wang Ding: Many such tickets cannot be found.

Xiao Feng: I can’t find it, and there is no basis for future reimbursement. To be honest, it has already reached this point. We are just talking about our feelings and do not care about these things. I became the movie, everyone became it, the movie failed, and we are all finished. Eight years!

venomous tongue: I heard that the management announced that there would be no cap on investment. When was the shooting about?

Wang Ding: When we were halfway through filming, the boss announced that the investment would not be capped, and we immediately held a meeting overnight. I remember it was in mid-to-late August.

Xiao Feng: We said at the time that we should still live according to poverty and tight living. We need to be as careful about money as professional filmmakers, and all accounts must be clear and accurate.

Jiang Haiyang: We have a three-level strict financial system.

Xiao Feng: The investor has a financial director to review each payment one by one and keep an eye on the entire process; China Film has a general ledger accountant, and the crew has a crew accountant. For each payment, the user writes an application, and the department head signs it first and submits it to the production director. Approval, after the production director approves it, come to me. I am also the producer, and I will approve it here. Then the boss sent a special assistant to make the final approval, and then went to the accountant after approval.

Jiang Haiyang: Generally, movie investment is how much money I give before the shooting starts, how much money I give in the middle, and how much money I give at the end. It’s that simple. There is a budget for how to use it, but this movie is not like that.

Wang Ding: According to the rules of movies, it is usually tight on both sides and loose in the middle. But for the sake of insurance and in accordance with the investors' requirements, we send the investors' budget for the next week every week.

is to report the budget for this week and the next week. From my point of view, money is very, very tight, because movies do not operate like this.

Our group often applies for money one by one, but it is never given on time.

People say that this family has a great cause, but that is what others think, but in fact we have no money, and we have never had any money. For example, a large amount of money is often needed for the early stage of setting up the scene, but whether it is the material supplier or the production staff, they all owe money and rely on their reputation.

The director just mentioned about the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is not as simple as having a New Year’s Eve dinner. There is basically no place to go during the Spring Festival because we have worker No. 10 who has taken over the whole farmhouse. You have to pay for this farmhouse too. We pay people every month, and if you don’t pay, you will leave, but we don’t have the money to pay.

Jiang Haiyang: It’s almost like living on the street.

Wang Ding: It was indeed so miserable at the time. So it's strange. Outsiders say how rich our crew is, but we have never lived a rich life.

Jiang Haiyang: Speaking of money, there is one more thing I can say. Before we started filming, was at the investor’s executive meeting. The investor said that Jiang Haiyang and Xiao Feng just need the two of you to finish filming this scene. I will award each of you 10 million.We said it on the spot. The two of us looked at each other. Director Xiao stood up and said that we don’t want the money and it is our responsibility to finish the show well.

Someone said in front of both of us on the spot, who knows about the film crew? How do you explain the kickbacks and costs incurred by the film crew?

In fact, there is nothing wrong with having this suspicion, but you can’t think that everyone is a thief, right? We don’t speak, you have the right to speak, but we also have the right not to take the money.

poisonous tongue: Which scene costs the most when setting up a scene? How much did it cost?

Wang Ding: That should be Chaotianmen. It’s a lot of money because we are on a 1:1 basis.

For example, the simplest one is all the stone strips used in the Chaotian Gate. Logically speaking, I can use real stone strips in the foreground and fake ones in the background, but the director said no, the scenery we build must be experienced. If you can afford to shoot, you must be responsible for history.

All the steps are made of real stone strips. The stone strips were custom-made from Jinyun. We happened to be during the Spring Festival at that time. We made the stone strips one by one and customized them one by one. Its size was made according to the size of the Chaotian Gate in Chongqing.

If director Xiao Feng had not posted such a Weibo post, few people would have known that this drama took eight years. It stands to reason that if a movie has not started shooting even after 4 years of preparation, then the project should have been abandoned long ago, but Xiao Fen - DayDayNews

Jiang Haiyang: Every stone bar has to be put up with a crane, and people can’t move it at all.

Xiao Feng: Because of my harshness, I got a nickname - "Fascist Director", which is fascist to the actors and their production department.

Wang Ding: Extremely demanding, the director’s requirements are extremely demanding.

Vicious Tongue: Besides funding, what other difficulties did you encounter during filming?

Jiang Haiyang: We also encountered a disaster in 2015, Typhoon No. 14.

Xiao Feng: It blew away all our scenery, including the scenery on the mountain and the church.

Jiang Haiyang: That typhoon hit Xiangshan head-on, and the result was really eye-catching. The radio said that the typhoon would land in Shipu Town, Xiangshan, and that it had to be 20 kilometers away to ensure safety. The entire film crew was there. As a result, the typhoon turned more than a hundred kilometers above the sea and headed towards Ningbo.

Xiao Feng: But our scenery was still blown down and we had to rebuild it. They said we should move to another place, as it was too difficult to get to that mountain. I feel really embarrassed when I think about this now. I was really like a fascist at the time.

The most difficult thing at that time was that a lot of scenery materials and shooting equipment had to be transported up again.

Wang Ding: Because it’s at the top of the mountain, trucks can’t get up there, and the road is very narrow, so you can only use a mountain trampoline. It took several days just to transport the materials for the new scenery.

Xiao Feng: Later, when we were transporting the shooting equipment, we also used a Shanbengzi truck to transport the shooting equipment up. We kept pulling it for 24 hours.

Xiao Feng: It was like fighting at that time. No matter how many people died, the mountain must be captured. Later, when I thought about it, I felt it was a bit too much, and I wanted to forget it, but the words never came out. This is how movies are made, and being a director means facing cruelty.

Jiang Haiyang: When the surface temperature on set was the hottest, it was 50 degrees with a watch. Every day, seven or eight people suffered from heatstroke and fell down one after another. However, the entire crew continued to operate, and the director continued to shoot on the spot with drips.

If director Xiao Feng had not posted such a Weibo post, few people would have known that this drama took eight years. It stands to reason that if a movie has not started shooting even after 4 years of preparation, then the project should have been abandoned long ago, but Xiao Fen - DayDayNews

PART 3

Started post-production in November 2015, and the director kept borrowing money

Vicious tongue: When did you start post-production?

Xiao Feng: In November 2015, after the preliminary shooting was completed, the post-production editing also began. By February 2016, the crew had no money in their accounts and was truly in a desperate situation.

Jiang Haiyang: We had a payment plan in February, but no one paid for it after I submitted it.

poisonous tongue: Did you tell me why you didn’t give it?

Wang Ding: There is no reason for . They never told me why. They just said that our company has company regulations. You are the film crew. Maybe you have general film and television investment rules, but their company does not operate according to this.

poisonous tongue: Why do you need to borrow money for the later stage?

Jiang Haiyang: The capital chain of Hehe Film and Television Company was broken, and the entire post-production was out of money.

The situation at that time could only be borne by the original painting company where the director worked, but there was a prerequisite, which was just borrowing money to advance funds. Even if the film borrowed money from the original painting company for post-production, it would not dilute the final box office income of Hehe Film and Television. .

That is to say, it has nothing to do with me if I make money in the future. You just need to pay back the debt to me and you pay the corresponding interest. It's that simple. Who in the real world would do this kind of business?

Xiao Feng: Why did we accept it at that time? Because it was a mission and responsibility. Since the capital chain of Hehe Film and Television Company is broken and there is no money, who will come in? No one dares to come in.

We cannot just watch "Bombing" become an unfinished project without post-production funds. Because in this case, not only will all the money invested in the film be wasted, but we will also be wasting eight years of hard work.

venomous tongue: You haven’t taken on any other roles?

Wang Ding: None of us accepted the role. In fact, we all accompanied the director to fight for honor and for our own perseverance.

Xiao Feng: This is a feeling of sharing weal and woe.

Jiang Haiyang: Maybe you don’t believe it, but at the reception to welcome Bruce Willis, Xiao Feng and I were standing there. At that time, we didn’t know what our fate would be. Face to face, we two men agreed on the same thing. The ground shed tears.

Xiao Feng: That day was June 3, 2015.

Jiang Haiyang: He didn’t say anything to me, and I didn’t tell him either, but our hearts are connected. We know that no matter how difficult it is, we must continue to make "The Big Bang".

Xiao Feng: A few of us have persevered to this point. This movie is already a part of our lives. No matter how difficult it is, we must try our best to make it good. This is our belief.

poisonous tongue: In March 2016, everyone thought that this film would not be released.

Jiang Haiyang: The two of us agreed not to say anything to the outside world and to focus on making the film. We are worthy of the more than 2,000 Chinese and foreign filmmakers who contributed to the "Bombing" movie. Director Xiao Feng and I are just ordinary people who make movies. Since fate has left us to bear the blame, we will bear the blame.

poisonous tongue: Did you also advance the money for the announcement?

Xiao Feng: No, the promotion fee was advanced by Qitai Culture, the promotion company.

PART 4

After the release, the box office was owned by four companies. The most expensive easter egg in history

Vicious tongue: How long is the current film length?

Xiao Feng: After we finish the rough cut, the entire film will be nearly five hours long. If this is the case, no one will watch this movie. There are too many branches. We originally had three lines in , and there were so many actors. The play had no main axis at all, and the plot and emotion were greatly damaged.

later decided to cut it to three hours and took it to the filming location of "Hacksaw Ridge" in Sydney. Mel Gibson took the time to watch the three-hour version. He said it was too long and needed to be shortened. It took us several months to cut

from three hours to two and a half hours. It was very difficult. In the end, we returned to the original story we needed for this movie, and decided to cut it down to just over two hours. Now the entire movie is over 2130 minutes long.

venomous tongue: Is there any actor whose scenes were filmed a lot at the time, but then very few were deleted?

Xiao Feng: There are too many, many characters are gone. Because there are so many added scenes that really can’t be cut, and the story will be ruined once they are added.

In the original starring lineup: Brody, Huang Shengyi, and Liu Xiaoqing, their scenes were basically deleted from the film.

Vicious tongue: Some actors' entire scenes are missing?

Xiao Feng: None, I can only show the scenes of these actors in the easter egg as a tribute! Many people say that the Easter eggs that appear at the end of our movies can be called the most expensive Easter eggs in the history of .

poisonous tongue: Who might appear in the easter egg?

Xiao Feng: There are quite a few. It hasn’t been released yet, so don’t announce it. In fact, many actors said when filming that I wouldn’t be able to use this scene. But there are a lot of actors' scenes, and we still used them as cleverly as possible, and worked hard to make the character complete.

Jiang Haiyang: In fact, the needs of art and the needs of capital, sometimes these two needs are not on the same coordinate. I once told the management that it is normal for a person to wear one ring, and wearing two rings is a bit personal. People who wear three rings think this person is a bit weird.

If all these actors come, maybe it will be like wearing rings on all our fingers, is it appropriate? The employer said, , you are thinking about the laws of art, I am thinking about the laws of capital, so don’t try to convince me. The employer rejected me on the spot.

As for what the employer is thinking, I don’t know. Since you have your own rules, I will follow your rules.

Xiao Feng: We set up a special group.

Jiang Haiyang: I directed it.

Xiao Feng: It’s called Group C. Group C shoots these actors throughout the whole process. The ones we filmed over there were about to hang themselves, so we shared a lot of the burden here.

poisonous tongue: Who owns the copyright of the movie now?

Xiao Feng: The copyright of the movie is jointly owned by all parties.

Jiang Haiyang: There are still four companies.

Xiao Feng: China Film, Shanghai Film, Hehe Film and Television and our original picture film.

Vicious Tongue: Is the box office revenue also divided according to the four-party agreement originally signed?

Xiao Feng: Box office revenue is distributed in accordance with relevant national laws and regulations and relevant agreements unanimously confirmed by all four parties. It will be given to whoever deserves it. This has not changed. All the income belonging to Hehe Film and Television Company will go into the special account designated by the relevant departments.

At the same time, no one in our creative team, including directors, producers, screenwriters, and producers, will or can participate in any profit sharing from the "Bombing" film.

Jiang Haiyang: These are all clear. We are so busy that we are now volunteers, so that people question, are there such people in this world?

We would like to reiterate that we are not involved in sharing the money for this movie, and it has nothing to do with us no matter how big the movie is.

Xiao Feng: You may think we have done something stupid. In fact, I don’t have the heart to think about whether I am stupid or not. The problem with is what will happen if this movie is not released again?

This is not a matter of millions, nor is it a matter of ten or twenty million. Fortunately, my ability to bear it now is stronger than before. Really, other people might go crazy if they encounter this situation.

venomous tongue: Even if the movie is released and the box office is good, you will actually still suffer losses?

Xiao Feng: Loss is inevitable, so why do we always talk about the spirit of sacrifice? Because if you think clearly, there is no other way. Can you escape when disaster strikes? You can't hide from it. You can't say that I won't do something that has already been decided.

Finally, Sir, please say a few more words.

In the past, we complained that Chinese movies had no money, only a few billions a year.
