Chapter 602: Small Talk
During the time when Li Wei was busy with real life and copying, everything in the world did not stop because of him, such as director John Woo, who received his script for "Red Cliff" and agreed to shoot it.
After receiving Loen's $10 million film investment, John Woo used the funds to begin preparing the film and casting.
The white pigeon director is known in the circle for being picky and big-handed, and he has invited performances to targets such as Chow Yun-fat, Tony Leung and Cheung Fung Yi, who are internationally or domestically acclaimed. Of course, the salaries of these big names are not cheap, and Loen's $10 million will not last long in front of their salaries.
Director Wu knew that he was very good at spending money, so he began to cheat again...... is to find a film and television company or enterprise to invest in this film for him to splurge ...... Well, everyone has money to earn together.
There has always been no shortage of markets for films with the theme of the Three Kingdoms, and if they are high-quality products, they can bring huge benefits, and John Woo's international famous director plays a role at this time. Looking for 10 million in the east and 30 million in the west, Wu Yusen pulled up the second phase of investment of nearly 100 million US dollars.
Director John Woo also has a bad habit that is not a bad habit, that is, he likes to add actors of other nationalities to the movie.
This time, in addition to casting in Huaxia, Director Wu also hand-picked two actors and invited each other to star. One is a well-known stage actor in the island country, Nakamura Shitong, and the other is Zhang Dongjian, who has a little relationship with Li Wei and is quite famous in Asia.
These two said that they had acting skills, and that they had good looks and that their joining of the powerful faction not only added a lot of color to the movie, but their joining naturally also brought the third batch of film shooting funds to the movie.
With the funds in place, director John Woo can naturally let go of his hands and feet to prepare the filming location of the movie. He took his group to travel all over the north and south, and finally chose to build two shooting bases in the HB area, one for the filming of water battles, and the other for the filming of land battles and scene scenes.
After all the preparations were in orbit, director John Woo asked all the cast and crew to gather for a pre-shoot meeting. The main purpose of this training-like meeting is to allow the actors to have a preliminary understanding and understanding, so as to avoid unnecessary embarrassment during filming.
……
In addition to the necessary scenes, the filming base naturally has a place for the cast and crew to rest temporarily. John Woo set up a resting place on a mountainside not far from the shooting base, where the tall but loose trees allow some sunlight to shine here, and the cool autumn breeze blows away the slightest bit of stuffiness for everyone.
"Li Wei, come and be my translator!" In the eyes of outsiders and fans, Zhang Dongjian is a handsome and somewhat mysterious actor uncle, a "Tai Chi Flag Flying" has established the status of a first-line actor, and a "Wuji" has made him a well-known 'Asian superstar'. However, in Li Wei's eyes, there are only two words left in the perception after getting acquainted with this big brother, sullen. Zhang Dongjian, who only understands 'hello' and 'have you eaten enough' in Chinese, insisted on chatting with those actresses, and even if he pulled a terminal lazy cancer patient as a translator, Li Wei was directly drunk.
"Brother Dongjian, didn't I teach you a word? I promise that they will be very happy to hear it, remember! Affectionate eyes!" Li Wei used Korean to guide him, and Li Wei, who was called, decided to summon the soul possession of a certain belly black deer, and the belly black president went online!
"Oh, if you don't say it, I forgot!" Zhang Dongjian said, staring at the actresses with an affectionate face, and said.
"I'm sorry for everyone. The actresses were confused by Zhang Dongjian's affectionate eyes, but their originally confused eyes were crispy on the outside and crisp on the inside, and they laughed out loud.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhang Dongjian, who saw such a situation, looked confused and asked in English one by one.
"What this means is that you are ugly. Lin Chiling, from Treasure Island, explained.
"Ahh
"What is it that makes you laugh so much?" asked another handsome uncle, curious about what was going on here, and walked over and smiled.
"Zhou Lang~~~" After Lin Chiling saw the comer, she called the other party delicately.
"Stop! I said Chi Ling, can we talk normally? Goosebumps fell all over the ground. The handsome uncle pointed to his arm, looked unbearable, and said.
"Hehehe...... Isn't this Xiao Qiao's sister-in-law who loves you?" said Zhao with a smile as Sun Shangxiang.
"Stop! Your sister-in-law is Carina Lau!" That's right, the handsome uncle is Tony Leung who played Mei Zhoulang in the movie.
"I can't stand your old beloved wife syndrome!" Zhao Wei pointed to his arm, indicating that goosebumps had also fallen to the ground.
"Having said that, I didn't think that this Li Wei would be the screenwriter of this movie, and I thought it was an old pedant to be able to write such a rigorous historical script. Lin Chiling said softly.
"What's the matter? You shouldn't reject the love of sisters and brothers, right?" Zhao Wei teased Lin Chiling.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Chiling blushed and said. In fact, she really has a good impression of this young screenwriter, but she knows her own business, except for age, she is not single now.
"Actually, I'm quite surprised by the age of our screenwriter, but people's resumes are not so simple. He is a Ph.D. graduate of Harvard University and a double Ph.D. Tony Leung said with a sigh.
"That's right, Brother Liang Chao, you and that Zhang Dongjian have a lot of rivalry. I heard that he is Tony Leung of South Korea, and his eyes and acting skills are comparable to yours. Zhao said with a smile.
"It's not that you don't understand that the media in that place likes to exaggerate, I heard that there are Andy Lau from South Korea and so on. Tony Leung said with a disapproving smile.
"That's just as well. But our screenwriter is really strange, I heard that Director Wu planned to let him play the role of Zhao Yun, but he refused. Lin Chiling nodded her chin and said softly. Although she is already in her thirties, Lin Chiling does not violate the harmony at all when she does such a girlish action.
"I've heard that, too. It's true, I was there at the time, and the screenwriter was clearly a serious person. He told Director Wu that he couldn't take care of both actors and screenwriters. He wanted his script to be more perfect than an actor, so he just asked for a supporting actor's role. It was also because of his decision that the entire list of roles had a big shift. Tony Leung said.
"......I see," the group nodded in response.
