Chapter 312: Filming Begins (1/5)
is used to careful calculations, even if he is already the richest person in the world, Zhang Junsheng still won't make a big deal when making movies.
Commercial films pursue a return on investment, and he doesn't play capital solitaire.
In the drama "Super Body", there are only two producers: Yuehua and China Film, in fact, if Zhang Junsheng wants to graft funds, it is very simple, play financing!
"Asura" has six rounds of financing, but it has not been released, and the first few investors have already made enough money.
With Zhang Junsheng's reputation, "Super Body" is not a problem at all if it is five or six billion, just by doing this, the reputation that has been accumulated with great difficulty will collapse, why bother?
Or the most primitive way, pulled a few advertising placements.
The $25 million funding gap was soon there, and filming officially began.
……
The filming scene of "Super Body" is in Suzhou * Zhou, why did you choose Su * Zhou, because it is convenient, and there is Su * Zhou Film and Television City!
And the convenience provided by the local government makes it impossible to refuse - a cash subsidy of 50 million will be given in private...
Originally, "Super Body" was filmed on Treasure Island, and the reason why it was chosen to shoot on Treasure Island was definitely not because Luc Besson said that Treasure Island is beautiful, but because of the coping strategy made by the film's investors in order to win over the domestic box office.
At that time, the domestic box office market was very hot.
The law summarized by foreigners: If you want to achieve better results in this land, there are only two choices, either you will choose the filming location here, or you will use domestic actors.
Wang Xueqi, Fan Pang, and Li Lianhua have participated in Hollywood productions under the company's operation.
There are even rumors that Wang Xueqi will play the villain in "Iron Man"...
Of course, in the end it turned out to be just rumors ...
As for Fan Fat, he didn't see it at all.
Celestial Empire Special Edition!
It's a bit like the Hong Kong movies of the year that were special for South Korea...
It can be seen from this that in Hollywood's big productions, all the crews that invite domestic actors must be for the domestic market, that is to say, people choose domestic actors in order to make you more willing to spend money to enter the theater after seeing your favorite local stars.
It's not because the actors' acting skills have reached the point where they can impress Hollywood.
Therefore, don't really take the participation of these mainland wrists in Hollywood A-level production as a thing to be thankful, if one day the mainland market declines, the first batch to abandon the market are these Hollywood production companies.
To be honest, for "Super Body", whether it is filmed on Treasure Island or in Suzhou, it is not a big problem, and it has no impact on the plot.
He doesn't have any special feelings for Treasure Island ...
As for Choi Min-sik...
The Korean market, he really didn't look at it!
Even the original version of "Super Body", the number of moviegoers in South Korea is only more than 3 million, which is converted into a box office of almost 140 million yuan...
It's better to use Wang Qianyuan, Wang Qianyuan's acting skills will not be worse than Cui Minzhi!
Besides, there is a Korean in the Chinese gangster, and I always feel that it is not appropriate...
……
"Click, this is over!"
Zhang Junsheng nodded with satisfaction, and the crew immediately transferred the scene...
The filming of "Super Body" went smoothly... Well, smooth is a bit unusual, except that Scarlett Johansson can't control her mouth a little bit, and was scolded by Zhang Junsheng several times...
The Hollywood gang is really foodies, including Morgan Freeman.
The snack street around the film and television city, pure Chinese food, every day the shooting ends, Scarlett, Morgan Freeman will let Xu Yan lead the way...
Skewers, knife-shaved noodles, gluten, pancakes, egg scones, meat buns...
Try new ingredients every day!
In addition to stinky tofu...
The plot has a scene where Scarlett fights Xu Yan in a black leather coat, and her figure must be maintained!
In three days, Scarlett directly gained five pounds...
Zhang Junsheng directly exercised the right to direct, and Scarlett kept his mouth shut.
In the filming of a big production, in addition to the actors and crew themselves, the most important thing is to have the cooperation of the local political axe!
The most important thing Zhang Junsheng lacks is to be qualified!
Whether it was the scene where Scarlett was arrested by Wang Qianyuan in the hotel or the action scenes in the prison cell, or even when the street was closed with a green set to shoot the car chase, they all got the full cooperation of the relevant departments.
In that car chase scene, the government department even proposed to close an entire street...
That's the benefit of fame!
If you change the director, let alone cooperate, the head snake will already come to the door!
Brother Chen Kai filmed "Singing While Walking" back then, but he was blackmailed by the head snake for tens of thousands of yuan...
Not only that, Yuehua's strong influence, and the media did not harass "Super Body" much.
It stands to reason that Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman are all coming to China, and they must have to squeeze their heads, even if they take a candid photo, they have to take a picture or two...
The most important thing is that the relationship between Zhang Junsheng and Scarlett has long been worn on the Internet, and has been talked about by a group of netizens...
If this is a shot of him in close contact with Scarlett, it will be sent!
Yuehua said directly on the official website: I implore media friends not to harass the crew for the time being, and don't let overseas media laugh...
So, except for some undisciplined tabloids, most of the media will discuss with the crew first when they want to interview the actors, as long as the crew says, 'The actors are tired and need to rest, can you arrange another time', the media will never bother, at most they will take a few photos not far away.
As for the undisciplined tabloids, there's no way around it...
……
I've heard before that Morgan Freeman is the most overrated actor.
Many people said that when they first started watching his performance, they were calm, calm and wise, and they were quite shocked that they had seen too many works later, and they would always have that look, which inevitably caused some aesthetic fatigue.
If you like it, you never get tired of watching it, and if you don't like it, you can watch it and it's over, that's it...
Why did Zhang Junsheng look for him?
A salary of $5 million is definitely not cheap!
In addition to adding a black character to make the whole story politically correct, the main thing is that this character can't think of anyone else except Morgan Freeman!
It can only be said that the image of calm and wise has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people...
In fact, in addition to the traditional sense of brilliance, there is another dimension of comfort, every time I see him appear, no matter whether he acts like himself, he feels very comfortable, and there is no sense of disobedience;
This already shows his success in the film profession, and being able to make people feel that this character should be like this in all the roles he has played is his greatest success.
Every time I shoot his scene, it's basically a pass...
He gives you the feeling that he is not acting, but watching how he speaks, acts, and lives in the real world, this is an actor who is completely consistent with reality in front of the camera, without any acting elements.
If he hadn't known in advance that this guy had a bunch of personal problems, Zhang Junsheng would probably think that he was such a wise old man!
