The one hundred and fifth round of preparations is complete
In the last life, the Sunglasses King's "One Generation, Sect, Master" had mixed reviews, some people said that this movie was full of his personal style, while others thought that he had completely taken the route of commercialization, and some people even ridiculed that it was not a kung fu movie, but a literary movie.
But no matter what fans say about this movie, it cannot be denied that the color and clarity of this movie are very rare in domestic movies.
Some people even exaggerate that the 'any picture' in this movie can be used as the background of the 'computer desktop'.
In addition to the very good film composition and aesthetic control of the king of sunglasses in his previous life, the top Hollywood shooting equipment used in this movie must also be indispensable.
In this life, Wang Jiawei is also a director who is almost demanding about the picture quality of movies.
After the crew was officially formed, he left behind a large period of important preparatory work such as shooting scenes, actor schedule allocation, and costume props production.
Went to Hollywood alone with a sum of money. He's going to find the best equipment.
This time, he didn't get back an ordinary camera, but the top high-speed camera from Hollywood.
Compared to the 24 frames per second of a normal camera, this high-speed camera can shoot at up to 1000 frames per second.
The things that are shot by this kind of camera are still generally used in sports competitions and movie special effects, and we have seen the 'ballistic test' of the gun when firing in many videos of scientific experiments, which was shot with this kind of camera.
In order to be able to shoot the subtlety and intensity of the Guoshu play, Wang Jiawei was out of the way this time.
What's even more exciting is that this time he went to Hollywood, Wang Jiawei brought back not only top-level cameras.
There is also a well-known Hollywood videographer, Tony Hanks, an industry icon who has won the Oscar for Best Cinematography two years in a row.
When Wang Jiawei excitedly made a transatlantic phone call and told Peng Yichen the news, Peng Yichen could feel it through the phone that his ambition and confidence in this movie were constantly expanding.
Although Peng Yichen has only been in this world for more than a year, he has still heard of Tony Hanks's name.
After all, he is also an insider, and he often mentions this bull when he hears the cameramen in the crew brag.
It is said that this top Hollywood photographer, every time he makes a movie, it is basically either a big production or a movie that hits the Oscars.
This time, the film shot by Peng Yichen and Wang Jiawei, whether in terms of investment or influence, belongs to the kind that is not eye-catching in the eyes of others.
When Wang Jiawei was buying photographic equipment, he happened to meet this great god, and the two chatted a few words.
didn't think that this Tony Hanks turned out to be a loyal viewer of Chinese kung fu movies, he listened to the general content of the movie that Wang Jiawei was going to make, and immediately expressed his great interest in this movie.
During this time, Tony Hanks happened to have plans to go abroad for a vacation, so he voluntarily lowered his salary and followed Wang Jiawei back to China to try to shoot this interesting 'Oriental Kung Fu movie'.
Even if Tony Hanks only accepted the friendship price, Wang Jiawei's trip to Hollywood still cost 20 million!
This is equivalent to almost half of the investment in the entire movie
Even if most of the filming locations are in the Xiang JC area, you can save a lot of money on set construction.
But the actors' salaries, films, and crew labor for the entire film add up to at least about 30 million.
In other words, even if Peng Yichen fills all his investment authority, the 45 million originally planned to invest in the film is not enough at all, and there is still a gap of 5 million.
This is still an ideal state, if you add the loss caused by the delay in the filming of the movie, the cost of the publicity and distribution of the movie, the total investment of this movie is at least about 7,000, which is barely enough.
Peng Yichen hung up the phone and sighed, making commercial movies is expensive.
This is just a kung fu movie, if you want to make a commercial blockbuster of war, science fiction, superheroes and other genres, the investment is calculated in hundreds of millions.
This is also a relatively novel experience for Peng Yichen, who was just a big actor in the previous life.
Shaking his head, Peng Yichen continued to practice the Xingyi Quan he had been practicing for the past few days.
He plans to create the image of the protagonist in the movie according to the image of Wang Chao in "Romance of the Dragon and Snake".
Wang Chao appeared at the beginning, and almost all of the best fighting styles were in Xingyi Boxing.
Although he has Wei Qing's battlefield martial arts, his physical fitness is also very good.
However, compared with the martial arts of the Han Dynasty, after more than 1,000 years of development and evolution, in terms of individual combat, it must be more exquisite and dangerous than simple battlefield fighting.
He has to be fully prepared, so as not to make any mistakes after entering the world of the plot and be beaten to death halfway, it will be a loss.
At his own request, the master of Xingyi Quan also trained him with his heart and formulated a set of hellish training for him.
After all, his physical fitness is better than that of other actors and even martial arts, and what others can't practice, Peng Yichen has no problem at all, and he can practice it.
This master is also happy to see the hunt, and he has used all his housekeeping skills.
I want Peng Yichen, a big star, to show his Xingyi boxing when he is making a movie.
So, Peng Yichen was in this small martial arts hall, and practiced almost all the pile methods, practice methods, and fighting methods of Xingyi Boxing.
In just one month, everyone around him found that Peng Yichen's temperament had changed!
That kind of martial artist, the sharp edge, like a fierce beast, the sense of oppression makes ordinary people stare at Peng Yichen for a while, and they will be slightly uncomfortable.
Just when Peng Yichen's national arts training was getting better, Wang Jiawei's phone call came and told him that the crew's filming venues, props, costumes, and other preliminary preparations were basically done.
As soon as their group of actors came out of the master of national arts, they immediately rushed to Xiangjiang to attend the film conference.
……
At the end of October 2006, in the banquet hall on the first floor of the newly built company building of Kyoto Huimin Film and Television Company, Chinese media from all walks of life gathered.
This is the launch conference of the first new film jointly produced by Huimin Film and Television and Dongxing Film and Television.
Xiangjiang director Wang Jiawei, Peng Yichen, the most popular Chinese limelight, partnered for the first time.
Kung fu superstar Fang Long plays one of the roles.
The film investment exceeded 100 million (publicity needs).
It took half a year to complete the writing of the script and the preliminary preparation of the film.
More than 20 million were invested before filming began.
The cast plus the crew needs to dispatch more than 300 people in total.
is still a kung fu movie that has been in decline for many years.
With so many news explosions converging on one movie, all the media reporters present felt adrenaline rushing.
As soon as the start-up ceremony began, the media began to ask questions frantically, and one of the most interesting questions was asked to Wang Jiawei.
"Director Wang, it is said that your last movie took 3 years to finish. How many years are you going to make this film?"
Peng Yichen sat on the rostrum with his head bowed and smiled, but Wang Jiawei was very calm, and said with a smile: "It won't take so long this time, and I should be able to meet you before the Spring Festival." ”
At this time, Fang Long, who was sitting next to Peng Yichen, suddenly turned his head to avoid the microphone, and asked Peng Yichen: "Chen Zai, who am I playing in this movie?"
"Brother Long, why don't you even know who you are playing?" Peng Yichen was a little.
Fang Long secretly pointed his finger at Wang Jiawei and said: "Director Wang said at the beginning that I would play a cameo role in this movie, but he never told me which role to play later." ”
Peng Yichen held back a smile, it is estimated that the king of sunglasses forgot about this and invited Fang Long to attend the press conference, and it is estimated that he is also a person from Dongxing Film and Television.
"If you play an old-timer, you will say that kind of hidden master. Peng Yichen didn't say anything for a while, and explained ambiguously.
Fang Long nodded, "I also think I am the most suitable for this kind of role." ”
At this time, the media began to attack Peng Yichen, and took out another movie that has been very popular recently.
"Director Peng, "Heaven and Earth Ambition" invested by Lido Film and Television was also released around the Spring Festival this year, do you have any ideas for the film you collaborated with Director Wang to fight with "Heaven and Earth Ambition"?"
Peng Yichen smiled and diverted the topic: "This time, our film is for the entire Southeast Asian region, so we will put the main filming location in Xiangjiang, and there is no conflict with "Heaven and Earth Ambition". ”
The media was very dissatisfied with him diverting the topic, but after several rounds of questioning, no breaking point came out.
In the end, he could only divert the firepower and ask questions to Fang Long, the big coffee sitting on the side.
"Brother Long, as we all know, you have always been very concerned about the development of Chinese kung fu movies. This time I participated in the kung fu movie with the largest investment in Huaxia in recent years, I don't know what you think of the characters you played. ”
All kinds of routines he is now using to deal with the media are becoming more and more proficient, which makes reporters cry and laugh.
Fang Long was very embarrassed by his question, until now he didn't know who the character was, after thinking about it, he could only smile and copy Peng Yichen's words: "This time I want to play an old-timer in the martial arts, that is, the legendary hidden master." ”
Before his words fell, the projection screen behind the stage was playing, and the profiles of each actor and actress were playing!
Behind the two big characters 'Fang Long' above, there is a line of introduction, the chef of the street food stall fried pho.
The audience instantly laughed back and forth, and the atmosphere was bursting!!
