Chapter Ninety-Nine
(Thank you Brother Long Shao for the tip, thank you for the tip of 'aiyisheng', thank you very much.) )
In the past few days in late September and early October, foreign media have reported that a contingent of more than 10,000 troops in Huaxia has assembled in the northern border cities, which has aroused widespread international speculation.
CNN even wrote an article saying that neighboring countries should pay attention to the movements of Huaxia, and this kind of military action is very dangerous.
FOX's O'Reilly also conducted an interview and invited an expert on China to talk about whether there was a possibility of war.
A group of European and American media, including the island nation of Treasure Island, are actively discussing on the sidelines, as if the third world war is not far away, and mankind is about to face the tragedy of extinction.
A certain ministry of the Huaxia State immediately turned on the repeater mode, resolutely not allowing other countries to interfere in China's internal affairs...... Everyone is in mouth cannon mode.
Wu Xiang didn't know all this, he was just concentrating on making his own movie.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the north wind is howling, the mountain top in the distance is covered with perennial snow, and a high platform rises abruptly on the flat grass, surrounded by soldiers on horses.
“…… Under the world, it is not the king's land, and on the shore of the land, it is not the king's ministers......" Ji He, who plays Huo Quai, faces the south and bows respectfully, this is the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
"OK!" is a simple scene, not much to say.
This is the famous 'Feng Wolf Juxu' in history, Wolf Juxu Mountain was originally Kent Mountain near Ulambatar, but Wu Xiangyi made a total trip to Lu It was very difficult, so it was better to find it in his own place, and he chose a place near Xinjiang Tianshan Mountain.
From the cost point of view, it is also possible to shoot this shot in Ba Ao Naoer, but the season at this time determines the difficulty of shooting, and the wind resources of Ba Ao Naoer are too rich, fortunately it was shot in time, otherwise after a while, let alone riding a horse, that person would have to be blown away.
The other is to change the environment, just like the snow on the top of the mountain now clearly tells you that we have hit far, far away, which is a very reasonable psychological implication.
There are also disadvantages, that is, the cost is a little high, but anyway, most of it is spent, and Wu Xiang doesn't care about spending some more money.
Big?
That's right, it's the big war scene filmed in Ba Ao Naoer, that is the big head, how big is it? Counting it all up, it cost Wu Xiang more than 15 million RMB!
More than fifmillion ah, this can make a few small-budget movies, but in Wu Xiang's opinion, this is all cheap.
It's really cheap, let's just say that 10,000 actors, if you find extras, 30 yuan a person a day, this is really nothing, you can ignore it. But what about the car that pulls people? This is the old nose money. The troops are coming with 300 military vehicles, and you are going to rent a bus, and 300 buses are a lot of money a day?
That's 10,000 people, can't everyone take a burning stick? The bow and crossbow alone went to 3 million, and the ring sword, spear, armor, clothes, shoes and hats were all made before, and Wu Xiang didn't even count this money into it.
There are also horses, 10,000 horses, this number is not to mention, in fact, a total of more than 12,000 horses were used, let's just say that Vice Mayor Wang and the Hongshan Military Horse Farm have given you the green light to Wu Xiang, you have to give the feed money, right?
What else is the cost of building a camp tent, the cost of temporary accommodation, the cost of transportation, the cost of communications, helicopters, films, cameras, tableware for eating, dozens of boxes of Yunnan (He) Baiyao alone are used, but fortunately, the medical expenses are reimbursed by the troops......
Don't say it, there are still some incomes, we have a lot of people here, and there are farmers and uncles who came to collect fertilizer, but they gave Wu Xiang some money, and gave 10 yuan for a car......
Forget it, let's not talk about it.
More than 15 million, it's really cheap, it's very cheap, it's all tears.
Anyway, we have spent so much, Wu Xiang doesn't care about the money, let's do our best, the budget is over anyway, and we are not bad at this, so this is the most embarrassing shot of the wolf Juxu, and I came to Xinjiang to shoot.
The scenery of this place is really beautiful and beautiful, Wu Xiang sighed as soon as he came here, this great river and mountain of the motherland is simply beautiful!
If you just look at the picture and let a European or an American see the picture here, they will definitely say that this is Switzerland, and they will not think that this is Xinjiang.
It's really beautiful, it's like an imaginary oil painting, you have to use all your imagination, or you won't be able to appreciate the beauty. Such a beautiful place, such a peaceful place, should keep her perfect.
Such a beautiful place, logically speaking, some people should come, such as the three people who traveled at public expense, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Yangbo and Zhang Jingchu. But none of them came, Huang Xiaoming and Huang Hongbo both took on new dramas, Zhang Jingchu said that they were going to shoot commercials, and there was something wrong anyway.
Wu Xiang still remembers the scene when he sent the three of them away, and there was a bit of parting, especially ......
"What's the total?" Ning Hao saw Wu Xiang stunned, so he patted him.
"No, it's nothing!" Wu Xiang immediately dispelled the somewhat sad image in his mind, he really didn't want to think about that aspect, "I'm thinking about how we will cut this film this time, and there are some musical things, I seem to know people who are not very good at this ancient music now." ”
"No, spend some more money, please hire someone, such as Tanton. Ning Hao directly gave an idea, this said.
Wu Xiang is depressed, I also know Tan Dun, but now that people are on fire, can I afford that money?
Tan Dun is really popular, in 2000, a very famous costume martial arts blockbuster "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was excellent at the box office in the United States, and it also had a good reputation after it was released in the mainland, but everyone thinks that there are some problems with this Weiya hanging, which is obviously a zero-gravity performance.
It doesn't really matter how people perform, what matters is the culture of the East and the West. There are also several people who have become popular in this movie, including the 'Light Dancing and Flying' Zhang Ziyi that Wu Xiang set at the beginning, and Tan Dun!
If you want to talk about movie soundtracks, especially costume movie soundtracks, then Tan Don really doesn't think about it as a second person in the music circle of the Chinese people, but now it is obvious that Wu Xiang is shy in his pocket, and it is difficult to invite moving people.
Originally, Wu Xiang had this plan, but now it seems that he can only give up, so he has to go to find Wang Feng again, and he still has to ask him to help.
The soundtrack belongs to the later stage of the movie, and Wu Xiang wanted to invite Tan Don before, which shows that he wants to work carefully on his post-film this time, this time it can't be like before, although it was not sloppy before.
This film is really a big production, we must not be negligent in post-production, we must strive for excellence, because Wu Xiang did not give himself a strict time to complete the film, he is not even in a hurry, and even this film can wait until the 2001 Chinese New Year file is released, because he knows that in 2001, there will be several major events, and it can even be said to be a major event that affects the history of the world!
"By the way, there's one more thing, Hongzhi. Wu Xiang suddenly remembered that there was something that had to be done now.
"What's the matter?" Wang Hongzhi is now like Wu Xiang's deputy, according to his words, he is his right-hand man.
"You and Zhao Xiaopeng, Lin Jidong, Yang Dong, Yu Le, and they go to Hengdian, that's the thing I said before, you guys have discussed it, OK?"
"Okay! I'm fine, but who's going to be a legal person?"
"You guys decide for yourselves, just remember that I'm the majority shareholder. ”
"You boy, a proper capitalist, who wants to be a bully on the heads of us working people?"
"! Aren't you also shareholders? You become shareholders without spending money, and you are still working people?
"Hahaha...... How dare you do it, brother, be careful that we don't get things done for you!"
"You all have a share, it's not just me......"
What is Wu Xiang talking about? In fact, it is the costumes and props used in the previous filming.
There are a lot of costumes left in this play, more than 10,000 pieces, and there are a lot of props, knives, spears, shields, are these things thrown away after filming this movie?
What a pity, Wu Xiang's idea is waste utilization, since we have so many goods in our hands, let's just set up a company, that is, a props company.
The props company has been there since this year, don't look at the movie market is not good, but the TV drama market is good, and costume dramas are very popular, so this props company has also sprung up.
There must be competition to set up a company, and with so many goods, Wu Xiang was afraid that one person would not be able to handle it, so he found a few more buddies to go to Hengdian. This is directly killed in the 'market', Hengdian, which is the base camp for the filming of various costume films in the future, where the props business is done and the money is made properly.
