Chapter 231: The World Heritage Application is Successful
Chapter 231 was successfully inscribed on the World Heritage List
Originally, Zhang Yiyan wanted to take Wang Yao to see what the real pre-film preparations were like in addition to their previous inspections and preparations, which were more important and cruel, after all, investors and directors are two completely different, but the positions are ambiguous, and sometimes there will be irreconcilable contradictions, even if they are big directors, sometimes they are controlled by others.

Zhang Yiyan wants to tell Wang Yao a truth, that is, movies, not that easy thing.
But I didn't expect Wang Yao to also take the most tricky props to 'fool' out, originally these swords Zhang Yiyan didn't want to make a fuss on them, although the Chinese weapon culture is very famous all over the world, but it is not the most representative, the Western knight sword culture and the Dongying katana culture can be regarded as cutting-edge weapon culture.
So compared to Wang Yao's idea of spending millions to cast a sword, Zhang Yiyan was willing to refuse, but he was a little loose, because Wang Yao's idea is really good, if you can bring together Chinese culture in every detail in this movie, it is a huge boost to promote Chinese civilization all over the world.
However, this promotion has nothing to do with the movie and the market itself, if it is deadlifted, it can only be said to be a sentimental plus.
But in the face of capital, sometimes feelings may have to regress, after all, this is not a small budget.
But Zhang Yiyan didn't expect that Wang Yao would be able to move a few leading actors and fund the sword casting by himself, maybe maybe Wang Yao is right, in addition to these dominant cultures, Chinese culture also has a sense of national honor in the genes, a sword does not represent anything, no matter how beautiful it is, it is just a sword.
But if this sword can cut through the barriers between Eastern and Western civilizations and exchanges, then this investment will be meaningful.
Li Lian has been rolling in Hollywood for many years, although he is a first-line international actor, but in fact, his treatment is not as good as that of second-tier actors in Hollywood, and real top blockbusters will not consider him, and Chinese actors are also excluded over there, after all, they are foreign monks.
Although it is good to chant scriptures, it is also easy to be excluded.
But his salary is indeed a real international quasi-first-line actor's salary, with a guaranteed offer of 10 million US dollars, and there is also a share of accounts, and he has just finished filming a step after the release of "Dragon's Kiss" directed by Luc Besson, if the effect is good, his salary may officially enter the ranks of first-line international artists.
At present, there are only three top Chinese actors with international influence, Fang Long, Li Lianlian, and Chow Yun-fat.
Chow Yun-fat just finished filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" naturally won't consider it, Fang Long's image is not very suitable, so Li Lianlian is the best candidate.
This time Zhang Yiyan found him, after reading the script, he lowered his salary, and at the same time pushed a movie to participate, because this movie should be regarded as the first one, and it is of great significance for Chinese commercial films to enter the world, and he is naturally obliged to serve as one of the leaders of Chinese actors.
Although he doesn't know much about Wang Yao, when Wang Yao introduces a few swords to match the plot, the seriousness and naivety when he tries to mediate with investors for the budget make him feel a little emotional.
He has been in the film industry for so many years, and it is difficult to see this kind of 'fool' who works hard for the sake of the movie itself.
As the film market becomes more and more mature, the threshold is getting lower and lower, and there are more and more opportunists, in recent years, a lot of bad movies have been produced to make money, and several large companies in Xiangjiang have also begun to let bad movies make money, as if they are ready to take advantage of the ebb and flow of the film market to make a lot of money, making the domestic film market smoky.
Although he has been away from domestic movies for several years, Li Lian is still very concerned about the market development of the motherland, after all, no matter how good it is outside, it is not as good as at home, so seeing a newcomer like Wang Yao working hard for the movie itself does make him look at it differently, although Wang Yao looks a little immature, but he is still willing to trust him, after all, even the director trusts him.
And Wang Yao himself didn't expect that the method of props would be solved in this way, logically speaking, actors only need to act well when they get paid, and these things have nothing to do with them, and if they do, they are suspected of crossing the line, so they generally don't touch these things, especially if they bring money into the group, they are the most likely to commit taboos.
But I didn't expect these leading actors to be willing to help him solve this problem, which is also an unexpected joy, although Wang Yao can raise this fee now, but to be honest, he has done enough, and no matter how much, it may make Director Zhang a little unhappy.
In order to live up to the trust of these people, Wang Yao recalculated the renderings and materials of several weapons and mailed them to a Longquan sword forging family.
These swords, if they can be completed within three months, they will almost be able to catch up with the shooting.
The investigation and negotiation of "Hero" are almost over, and the rest is the run-in and drama discussion of the main creators, and Wang Yao has shouldered another responsibility, martial arts guidance.
Originally, Director Zhang found Cheng Xiaodong, a top martial arts instructor in China, and when they were discussing the script routines, Wang Yao talked a lot for a while, and instructed Liang Chaowei's playing routines, and was caught by Cheng Xiaodong all of a sudden.
Although Wang Yao doesn't sing martial arts, the basic skills he usually practices in his mind are also at the level of a medium opera actor, and this level is basically slightly lower than Cheng Xiaodong in the movie routine.
Cheng Xiaodong inquired about Wang Yao's origin, and after learning that he was an opera actor, he made two more moves, and immediately quit.
"Director Zhang, you have a big expert here, what are you looking for me to do?" Cheng Xiaodong said with a smile.
"How can you do anything?" asked Wang Yao curiously.
"This is the basic skill, aren't you learning to dance?" Wang Yao said with an innocent face.
"You don't have basic skills, you have a martial arts foundation, don't hide it. Cheng Xiaodong said with a smile: "Hurry up and report to the door." ā
"I really don't, I just do Tai Chi, and I'm still an amateur. Wang Yao smiled, "But I have practiced an unknown cheatbook, but it is either the Central Plains martial arts, or the Western Regions forging." ā
"Is there really a martial arts cheat?" Liang Chaowei was interested, during this time he chatted with Wang Yao about martial arts every day, and what surprised Wang Yao even more was such a quiet and mature beautiful man, not only a martial arts fan, but also a heavy metal music fan, this contrast made him a little unacceptable.
"Well, it's not the kind in martial arts movies, it's just a way to exercise your body, you can understand it as broadcast gymnastics. Wang Yao smiled.
"Anyway, this kid is up to the job, and their singing routine is more suitable for your movie than mine. Cheng Xiaodong said with a smile, "After all, my routines are a little more fantastical, a little less realistic, and theirs is just right." ā
"This really doesn't work. Wang Yao hurriedly said, "I'm a literary actor, besides, movies are different from singing." ā
"For martial arts, movies are simpler than singing because they can be edited. Cheng Xiaodong smiled, "So, you just try to come." ā
"Inexperienced. Director Zhang shook his head, "I still have to come, he can help with the arrangement." ā
"To be honest, I'm a bully. Cheng Xiaodong smiled: "Whose credit will be credited then?"
"He's going to have a big credit. Director Zhang smiled weirdly, "I won't look down on your contribution as a martial arts instructor." ā
Cheng Xiaodong raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's a little interesting, kid, would you like me to take advantage?"
"What is it?" asked Wang Yao nervously.
"Technically, what else can it be. Cheng Xiaodong rolled his eyes.
Just as he was talking and laughing, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, Wang Yao glanced at the number, and said to everyone to go to the side to answer the phone.
"Why did it take so long to answer the phone?" Kong Ping's soft laughter came from the other side of the phone.
"I'm talking nonsense with an uncle. Wang Yao smiled: "Why does President Kong have time to call me? I just saw you yesterday on the news channel of the Central Committee." ā
"How is it, is there any style?" said Kong Pingjiao with a smile.
"Yes, a mother's domineering demeanor. Wang Yao chuckled.
"What a adjective. Kong Ping smiled, "Are you busy?"
"It's okay, what's wrong?" asked Wang Yao.
"We have successfully applied for the World Heritage Site, but there is a performance, let's partner up. Kong Ping smiled.
"Me?" Wang Yao was stunned, "I sing Kunqu opera in general." ā
"Don't be modest. Kong Ping smiled: "It's none other than you." ā
"What are you singing?" Wang Yao thought about it, it would take a while for the crew to discuss here, and besides, there was nothing to do with him in the future, so he could try it.
"I don't know, the masters rap "Peony Pavilion", I can't make up my mind. Kong Ping said with some distress.
"They don't understand what to sing to foreigners. Wang Yao chuckled and said, "Don't sing "Peony Pavilion", I think of a better one." ā
"Peach Blossom Fan?" Kong Ping asked.
"Sweet Companion". Wang Yao said in a deep voice.
Kong Ping's breath froze, "The two of us?"
"I can be a guide. Wang Yao said with a smile.
"No, I want to think about your appearance. Kong Ping interrupted Wang Yao, "Have you ever pretended to be Dan?"
"Hey, hey, sister, I didn't say I wanted to sing. Wang Yao smiled and said, "Senior Sister He is very suitable, and Senior Sister Mao is also fine." ā
"No, I'm going to sing with you, the two of them are too heavy in Yue Opera. Kong Ping said angrily.
"Peking Opera has a senior sister who has sung this. Wang Yao said with a smile.
"No, you have aroused my curiosity!" Kong Pingjiao laughed, "That's it, I'll tell the old gentlemen, do you have a book?"
"Wait, I haven't said yes yet. Wang Yao shouted.
"Senior brother, you must have the consciousness to dedicate yourself to art! Also, let's have a more glamorous one. Kong Ping seemed to be inexplicably excited.
