Chapter 223: Filming Begins
The salaries of Mu Ze and Su Xiaowan and others are actually not low, but they cannot be compared with Cheng Jie at all.
What's more, they themselves are signed artists of Dawn Film and Television.
The investment in the movie "Jingwu Heroes" is only tens of millions.
In this era when bad movies are easy to box office over 100 million, Mu Chen doesn't think this film will lose money.
"What Mu Dao means is because he likes it, so he doesn't care if he loses money or not?"
A reporter then asked.
"I don't think this movie will lose money?" Mu Chen smiled and said.
The audience of "Jingwumen" is very large, and when the movie version is released, there are naturally many people who are able and willing to spend money.
"Director Mu is so optimistic about kung fu films, so how much do you think the box office of "Jingwu Heroes" will be?
Mu Chen smiled and said, "I think it's useless!"
Isn't the box office record of kung fu films in recent years the 400 million of "Drunken Fist 2"?
If the box office of "Jingwu Heroes" reaches 400 million, it will be a big profit.
At this box office, Mu Chen really has no confidence.
"As the movie version of "Jingwu Gate", has there been any change in the plot of "Jingwu Hero"?"
"It's definitely a little different. Mu Chen said, ""Jingwu Heroes" is the movie version of "Jingwumen", but it is not a reduced version. Therefore, there will be new roles in this film, such as Su Xiaowan playing the heroine, who is no longer called Yumi Takeda, but Mitsuko Yamada. Miao Xun is no longer Huo Yuanjia's apprentice Liu Zhensheng, but Huo Yuanjia's son Huo Tingen. ”
At the launch conference of "Jingwu Heroes", Mu Chen was not the only wrist, and Mu Ze and others were not low, so they would naturally not be ignored by media reporters.
Mu Chen has a bit of an "old fritter" taste, although his words are not leaky, but he wants to get some exciting topics, unless he is willing.
And now it seems that Mu Chen has no intention of creating any topics.
Maybe it's on the phone, not the release.
There was no hot topic on Mu Chen, and those reporters naturally shifted their goals and wanted to break through from Mu Ze and others.
Mu Chen is also happy to see this.
After the start-up press conference, Mu Chen immediately started filming.
Mu Chen's filming has always been distracted and concentrated.
Not to mention that this time there is still a bit of a hurry.
Zhou Liang wore a yellow RB military uniform and stepped on long military boots.
His makeup is good.
"There is a little less indifference on his face, and there is also a little less coldness and murderous intent in his eyes!" Mu Chen looked at Zhou Liang and frowned.
When Zhou Liang heard this, his face immediately turned cold.
"Not enough!" Mu Chen shook his head and said.
Zhou Liang frowned, and after thinking about it, his expression immediately changed.
When Mu Chen saw it, he immediately smiled.
Zhou Liang was born as an athlete, but his talent is not bad, and his acting skills are still there.
Of course, if you say how good the acting is, that's not necessarily true.
However, the role of Tsuyoshi Fujita does not have very high acting requirements.
If Zhou Liang is asked to star in a literary film, it is estimated that it will be enough.
Unless you meet the kind of director who is very good at training actors' acting skills.
Mu Chen is still a little lacking in this regard.
Zhou Liang entered the state, and Mu Chen immediately looked at Mu Ze.
Mu Chen's first scene of filming was the final decisive battle.
"Attention of all departments, the first scene of the decisive battle of "Jingwu Heroes", the first set of shots will be filmed!"
Zhou Liang shook his neck and made a "gurgling" sound.
Of course, there will definitely be some processing in this later stage.
He looked at Mu Ze, who was holding Miao Xun, with disdainful eyes, and then ran a few steps and raised his right foot to kick Mu Ze's head, and the black and shiny military boots brought a dazzling light and shadow, and flew towards Mu Ze's head with great strength.
Zhou Liang has been training for a month, and his karate is still good.
I have to say that he was born as an athlete and played a great role.
In this set of shots, Zhou Liang showed Fujita Tsuyoshi's powerful karate play.
The movements are like this, and the expressions are also in place, and he shows Fujita Tsuyoshi's domineering and toughness to the fullest.
Mu Ze could only raise his arms and retreat, without the slightest ability to resist, while Zhou Liang kicked more and more fiercely until he kicked the wooden door.
Of course, the wooden door was a prop.
Zhou Liang's karate only has its form at this time, not its strength.
If it's a real door, it's no fun.
“cut!”
Mu Chen nodded, and then said, "Rest for a while and continue shooting!"
"Not bad!" Mu Chen then said to Zhou Liang with a smile.
Yes, it doesn't mean that Zhou Liang practiced karate well, but also that he acted well.
During this time, Zhou Liang should have spent a lot of time figuring out this role.
"Why didn't Chen Zhen scream?"
Zhou Liang smiled and then asked.
This is his doubt, and the doubt of many.
In "Jingwumen", the strange scream is undoubtedly a signature of Chen Zhen. However, in "Jingwu Heroes", Chen Zhen's iconic voice is gone.
In the movie, Chen Zhenke is a person who went to study at RB. Mu Chen smiled and said.
The character setting has changed, and the strange screams are not appropriate.
And it's not just because the original didn't have a scream.
Of course, there is another reason that the sound of strange screams does not match those action designs. Mu Ze also needed to take the opportunity to say goodbye to the strange image.
If the movie is still like that, Mu Ze's image may be completely qualified, and it will undoubtedly be more difficult to get rid of it again, which will not be beneficial to his future development.
As soon as Mu Ze made his move, the fan's head instantly flashed with a strange cry of "Ada".
If so, then Mu Ze is not Mu Ze, but Chen Zhen.
Being bound by a role is undoubtedly the sadness of an actor.
"Jingwu Heroes" is in a hurry, but Mu Chen is striving for excellence, and it is naturally best to catch up with next year's Golden Dragon Award, but if you can't catch up, it doesn't matter.
It's all about the quality of the film.
However, at the same time as shooting, I also did some post-processing.
The film is well prepared, the action design has already been perfected, and even the corresponding actors have rehearsed it in advance.
This saves a lot of time on top of shooting.
It seems that it is not impossible to shoot and produce it before the end of the year.
Just like the scene where the final battle was filmed just now, whether it was the fight between Zhou Liang and Miao Xun, or the fight between Zhou Liang and Mu Ze, although it was not done all over again, there were not many NGs.
The shooting, according to the plan, went much smoother than expected.
"You action team, it's hot!"
At the end of another scene, Yuan Hong said to Mu Chen with a smile.
Yuan Hong is an action actor who has been famous in Xiangjiang for many years, and he is also an extremely good martial arts instructor.
In this play, he played Fumio Funakoshi.
He is not as popular as before, but he is very well-known.
"Many people should know Mr. Yuan. Mu Chen smiled and said, "When I was filming "Jingwumen", Mr. Gao introduced it. ”
Yuan Hong smiled and nodded.
He did know a lot of those people and worked with them.
Mu Chen's action team is quite famous in the circle with "Jingwumen" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
Yuan Hong is an excellent martial arts instructor himself, so he can naturally see how the action design of this "Jingwu Hero" is.
It's a really eye-catching team.
The market for kung fu films and martial arts films is not as good as before, but excellent teams are still highly recruited.
It's just that many people, like Yuan Hong, don't know that those action designs are more than Mu Chen's hands. And Mu Chen's action team just realized Mu Chen's design.
However, those people are indeed capable people.
Mu Chen stood on the shoulders of giants, and those people made him taller than giants.
The strength of the team is endless, Mu Chen believes that even if he does not have his own action design based on the original, those people can design corresponding martial arts actions according to the script, story background, and character personality.
