290 "Journey to the West" starts filming!

[Shocked!]

【Incredible!】

【Hong Kong Legends!】

One two three.

The three top stories in a row are all headlined.

The news inside is also similar, less than a day after it was released,

More than 80 million were sold at the box office in Hong Kong, of which more than 10 million pirated copies were not counted.

Originally, after the launch, the theaters that only planned to open two halls have increased to three or four shows a day.

On the Internet, the current evaluation of Meng Ke's movie also presents two extremes.

I like it and say that this drama shows brotherhood, and if I don't like it, I say that it is too dark and easy to bring bad children.

But none of this matters in Hong Kong,

Because here, the movie is a classification system, and "people in the rivers and lakes" are classified as Class III movies, which are only allowed to be watched by adults.

In this way, the harm to the teenager is minimized.

On the Hong Kong INS,

Meng Ke's latest film also managed to make it to the news recommendation page.

Many Hong Kong compatriots have left messages below.

"It's so beautiful. ”

"I didn't expect there to be such an angle. ”

"I'm used to seeing the police catch thieves, and it's not bad to see how these troubled boys live once in a while. ”

There weren't many comments on the screenshots, so Meng Ke simply browsed them.

"Lao Meng, Lao Meng, I'm so moved, we earned 80 million box office on the day of the premiere, whether you have seen it or not, PP News is reporting our news. ”

Just when Meng Ke was looking at it, Wang Fei's news came.

Through the screen, you can feel how stupid this thing is,

Especially yesterday's drama essence possession, he was speechless, and Meng Ke was too lazy to take care of this product.

But in the outside world, in addition to the audience's amazement and the focus of various film critics, the first box office of 80 million attracted many cold words from Hong Kong directors.

"Everyone is asking how this movie is, and I can tell you responsibly that this movie is not good!

If there is no influence of the environment, this movie will only become a movie among all living beings.

How grand do you think the scene is?

How good do you think the story is?

None of them!

In general, it's just a brainless thing that some young people like to do.

A lot of people will only take bad children when they see it!"

A director named "Yang Ziqiang" commented on Meng Ke's new film on INS.

This is followed by the second,

The third,

Fourth ......

The number of people is increasing, and some very inconspicuous screenwriters are also openly commenting on "people in the rivers and lakes" on various occasions,

Without exception, there are few praises and many criticisms.

……

May 7th.

Meng Ke booked a plane ticket and prepared to return.

"Old Meng, when will you come back?"

At the airport, Wang Fei looked at Meng Ke with some reluctance.

"Come back?"

Meng Ke sneered, "Do you think I'll come back again?"

This copy of Lao Tzu wrote 404 and GG, three consecutive 404 in one afternoon, how much psychological pressure you know?

Kidneys are going to fail!

Girls don't want it anymore!

Never coming back in this life!

Now if you have a knife in your hand, believe it or not, I'll cut it directly!"

Wang Fei took out his mobile phone, "Hey, Jiajia, Lao Meng wants to cut the hanging, he will be the chief eunuch in the future, and he will no longer be your hanging brother, come on, Brother Wang is waiting for you here......"

"Roll !!!"

"That's it, be your hanger, don't touch the river crab god, who let you die, remember to use it reasonably in the future, little brother, Xiangjiang welcomes you~~~~"

Wang Fei made the ancient gesture of a woman soliciting guests.

Meng Ke covered his chest: "......"

What should I do if I'm in a bad mood?

……

The return ticket was set in the imperial capital.

As soon as he got off the plane, Meng Ke received a call from Zhu Zuopeng.

During this time, the trip in Xiangjiang was not pleasant, and the two of them went to the bar for a few drinks in the evening.

The next night, Meng Ke got on a plane to Ningyin City.

"Journey to the West" is famous for Stephen Chow, but in fact, the filming location is in Ningyin City in the mainland.

Loess.

Caves.

The unique northern architecture makes the whole painting style of "Journey to the West" have a sense of vicissitudes.

However, it was in the old China,

At present, no one has built a suitable shooting base for Meng Ke,

He had already handed over the engineering drawings to Yu Entai, and it took nearly a month to almost complete the construction.

Yesterday, he sent a message to Yu Entai that he could come over and have a look.

All the way to the film and television city.

At first glance, Meng Ke saw a very quaint loess cave.

A middle-aged man who looked to be forty or fifty years old was waiting over there, and when he saw Meng Ke, this young man walked up, "Teacher Meng, welcome, I am the manager of Xin'an Film and Television City,

My name is Du Peisheng. ”

"Hello, hello. ”

"Chairman Yu is already waiting in front, shall I take you in?"

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry for you. ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome. ”

The middle-aged man didn't mean to be big at all.

Aside from Yu Entai's relationship, Meng Ke's strength should not be underestimated.

Especially the myth of the 80 million box office on the first day created in Xiangjiang this time is even more enviable.

And looking at his age, he is about 26, and his future is limitless!

Although he is the chairman of the film and television city, he always has to deal with these entertainment figures.

The crew is filming here, and they also rely on the crew to improve their own popularity, so as to attract tourists, so in the face of a powerful young man,

No matter how stupid he is, he won't make the relationship stiff.

The two of them walked into the film and television city.

The layout of Xin'an Film and Television City is very large,

In general, it is divided into three districts, Qingcheng in the north, Mingcheng in the west and Ningyin Old Street in the east.

Except for Ningyin Old Street in the east, the other two areas are old objects, and only the crew is allowed to film, but no changes are allowed.

Only the south is an open space for the crew to build a filming scene,

However, the scenes that are generally filmed here should also be left at the end.

As for the venue fee, it is zero.

Along the way, Meng Ke and Du Peisheng soon arrived in front of a construction site.

Under the bright sun, Lao Yang was looking at the engineering drawings with his hat on, and a young student next to him was communicating with him.

"Uncle Yang. ”

Meng Ke went up to say hello.

"Yo, Xiao Meng, you're here, look at this cross, do you want it?"

Lao Yang pointed to a cross on an earthen platform that was under construction not far away, and now workers were hanging chains on it.

"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted. ”

"Also, did you look at that corridor when you came here just now?"

Old Yang Le pointed to a place in the distance that looked like a cave.

"See. ”

"What do you think?"

"Okay, just hang up the Facebook mask later. ”

Hearing Meng Ke's affirmation, the folds on Lao Yang's face were piled up, "Go in, the head of the regiment has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Then I'll go to Uncle Yang first. ”

After saying hello, Meng Ke walked into an earthen kiln under the leadership of Du Peisheng.

As soon as you enter the door, the place is very narrow, and a large pit is dug in the middle, surrounded by wooden sticks, and there is a staircase around the corner, and there is another layer above.

But Meng Ke knows very well that the above is what it looks like,

There is a door and no room, just for filming.

Yu Entai was drinking tea at the east gate.

"Old Yu. ”

"Xiao Meng. ”

"How are you?"

"Oh, okay,"

Yu Entai pointed to the stool in front of him, and after Meng Ke sat down, he said, "I heard that you are doing a good job in Hong Kong, and the box office of 80 million on the first day is really enough." ”

"Then you didn't see me suffer. ”

After making a joke, the two began to talk again.

Today is the last two days of the construction period, and Meng Ke is not very busy, occasionally visiting the film and television city, most of the time is in the hotel, and there is no plan to return to Qingcheng.

There are still reasons.

In the past, the plays he wrote were very demanding on acting skills.

And there are a lot of auxiliary plots that highlight the characters in the scenes written, and generally as long as the actors are willing to ponder and take the time to think, it will not be too bad.

But this time, "Journey to the West" is just the opposite,

The whole drama is a bit bizarre, and the timeline is also very messy.

And in the original film, it is divided into upper and lower parts, and only after watching it all can you know what the original story is.

The whole script focuses on the story, and there are few requirements for the actors' performances.

Especially Stephen Chow's exaggerated comedy performance style, if he is not watching from the side, he dares to guarantee that this drama will be made into a very bloody idol drama by Yu Entai!

……

May 10th.

The actors began to enter the group one after another.

The first to come was Zhang Chuchu,

This time, Zhang Chuchu plays the role of Zixia Fairy,

Then, Zhang Qing who played the Bull Demon King, Chen Mingdao who played the Bodhi Ancestor, Li Jiecheng who played Zhu Bajie and others also came.

The last to arrive is the overland journey,

Compared with others, Lu Xing looks very ordinary,

With a round face and big eyes, he looks like a passerby,

Before, Meng Ke did not give Lu Xing too prominent a role, but this time, he directly designated Lu Xing to play the protagonist Supreme Treasure.

As for the role of Tang Seng, Yu Entai took it down early.

This old man, after trying the taste of the screen, is also eager to try the entertainment industry, and he is active like a fake number,

Of course, in exchange, Meng Ke gained the absolute right to speak in the crew,

In other words, he is the director of this play!

The crew is ready,

On the 12th, "Journey to the West" officially started filming.

The first shot is the scene where Supreme Treasure and Zixia Fairy face off on the city tower.

Even if Lu Xing and Zhang Chuchu are not very strangers, if the actor and actress have a rival play,

The director will shoot some intimate rivalry scenes first, so that the two people can quickly warm up, so as to facilitate future shots.

This time, Meng Ke is no exception.

As the sun set, Zhang Chuchu and Lu Xing stood on the city tower.

Ten steps apart, the two of them stood straight, Lu Xing put his sword on the ground, and stared at Zhang Chuchu with emotion.

"Cards!"

As soon as the two of them stood up and made a move, Meng Ke directly shouted to stop, "Supreme Treasure, pick up the sword and hold it in your chest!"

And that Zixia, holding the sword in her hand!

Right...... Supreme Treasure don't stand so straight, head down!"

A series of requests, Lu Xing was directly stunned.

Not only was he blinded, but even Yu Entai and Zhang Qing were stunned.

Doesn't it mean that acting skills are not required? A standing posture should be so strict? Is this still not an act of acting!

One afternoon.

At the request of Meng Ke, only one shot was taken,

That is, Supreme Treasure and Zixia kissed and hugged from standing to the back on the city tower.

The whole crew is busy enough,

However, tired and tired, but after the lens effect came out, Lu Xing and Zhang Chuchu were stunned.

The two people in the camera can be seen without any words as two opposing and loving couples,

Especially Lu Xing, from the beginning of the death of the denial to the later walk in front of him, even if there is no connection between the front and back, it can be seen that this is not the same person.

"That's a monkey!"

Coincidentally, Zhang Chuchu and Lu Xing jumped out of their ears with the same words.

Zhang Chuchu and Lu Xing looked surprised here, and Zhang Qing and they were also very surprised.

Before joining the group, they were already familiar with the script,

It can be said that whether it is lines or actions, they have already practiced many times in private, and they have imagined many possible things.

But only Meng Ke's performance method was not envisaged.

It's bold,

It's exaggerated.

It's nonsensical.

It looks like an action that only anime can appear, but it turns out to be in reality.

What is amazing is that such bold, exaggerated, and nonsensical seems to be like a seed embedded in the plot, and it is tightly knit.

Now, everyone can finally understand why Meng Ke said that this drama should not be acting,

It's not that you really don't want acting, but ...... The acting is in his head!

Talented!

Nothing short of genius!

Looking at China, how many directors can have such a handy hand?

And how lucky they are to be able to cooperate with Meng Ke and let him help direct a play,

In their acting careers, there is such a time, it is enough!
