Chapter 357: Journey to the West
Yang Jie, an inexperienced female director, led a crew of hundreds of people, with only one camera, traveled thousands of miles in most of China, went through countless life and death tests, and more than 9981 difficulties, and filmed the first magical mythological long-form drama in New China.
Because of the lack of funds, the daily food bill for each person is only a few cents; has no experience, and everyone in the crew is shooting the same theme for the first time; Without technology, tens of thousands of images were shot with a single camera; I don't know about special effects, all the digital animation scenes are the first time to try the "combination of earth and ocean" on TV, all the demons and gods are handmade by latex, the clouds and fog are shot by the plane, the smoke of burning dry ice almost suffocates the actors, the unpredictable light is waiting for the real scene again and again, and the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and the East China Sea Dragon Palace are built with cheap plywood......
These are the real filming experiences of "Journey to the West", not the gimmicks artificially created for publicity in later generations.
In the middle, he almost died because of financial problems.
In order to make this TV series more beautiful, Zhang Wolf encouraged Xiao Wuzi and them to get involved.
Mythological drama is an attempt in China, including CCTV is not confident, at this time, if someone takes the money to tell them to invest, and as long as the overseas copyright, CCTV will definitely readily agree.
"Brother Wolf, I've heard about the TV series you mentioned, I'll go find them when I go back!Brother Wolf, how much do you say we should invest?" asked Xu Xiangyi.
After all, although they did the thing, the money was made by Zhang Wolf, so how much money to invest had to ask Zhang Wolf's opinion.
"How much money do you invest?" You tell them that as long as they don't waste it, I will give as much as they need! If they want money and things, they will find Huzi!" Zhang Wolf said arrogantly.
"Okay! I'll leave this matter to me!" Xu Xiangyi took the initiative to take over the task.
"Got it, brother!" Duan Hu agreed.
After the filming of the TV series was over, Zhang Wolf remembered one more thing.
"Brothers, let's talk about it, who is going to my place to gild?" Zhang Wolf picked up his wine glass and looked at Sun Jianguo, and asked with a smile.
Xiao Wuzi, Sun Jianguo and several others glanced at each other, and Sun Jianguo raised his hand and confessed: "Uncle Wolf, it's me! I'll go to your Songshulingzi Town to be the mayor of the town." ”
"Okay, boy, if I don't ask, you're not going to say it, are you going to give me a surprise attack?" said Zhang Wolf with a smile.
"Uncle Wolf, don't blame me for this! It's Xiao Wuzi, they said they want to surprise you! Uncle Wolf, how can you guess that it's mine?" Sun Jianguo immediately sold Xiao Wuzi and them.
"Okay, you Sun Jianguo, you are a traitor! It's a shame that you weren't born during the war years, otherwise you'd be a traitor to our party!" Xiao Wuzi scolded unhappily.
"Didn't your third uncle tell you? I know astronomy and geography, and I know 500 years before and 500 years later! I calculated these things. Zhang Wolf ignored Xiao Wuzi and said with a smile.
Zhang Wolf's words are not too exaggerated, at least he has known for thirty years.
As for the speculation that it was Sun Jianguo, it was too simple, the city and the province had already ruled it out, and Mayor Li had made it clear that it was the work of the central government, and the scope was narrowed down all of a sudden.
There are no secrets in officialdom, no matter whose actions it is, this matter cannot be hidden.
If it weren't for Xiao Wuzi and his group, with their relationship, they would have reported to Zhang Wolf a long time ago, and now they neither called to say it, nor did they mention it in person.
So it is obvious that it is a small move made by their family, and only Sun Jianguo is ready to take the career path in their group, and everyone else has made it clear that they can't stand the constraints of the career.
With such a simple reasoning, it is clear who it is.
Seven people, twenty pounds of wine to talk and laugh before you know it, the time is almost over, the hotel of this era is not the next generation, let you toss until twelve o'clock, and start to drive people at the point, so it doesn't matter if you are God or not!
Xiao Wuzi and several people were almost drunk, and Zhang Wolf drove them home one by one.
The next day, Duan Hu took his eldest sister and sister-in-law who were resurrected with full blood and they went to visit the Forbidden City, Beihai Park, and the Ming Tombs.
Zhang Wolf went to the relevant departments to contact Feng Dechang about the purchase of jadeite rough from Myanmar.
Feng Dechang is very good at being a person, and generously said that Zhang Wolf can go to the jade mining area to choose, and they are responsible for transporting it back and sending it home to Zhang Wolf.
Zhang Wolf rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said in his heart, I still need you in that case! I won't buy it myself! I don't need to use a ring to hold it!
Of course, this is just to think about it, and the two sides agreed to go to Myanmar in the spring next year to select jadeite rough.
Zhang Wolf said goodbye and left the relevant departments, and the incident of Xu Huaisheng made Zhang Wolf's impression of the entire relevant departments much worse.
In this negotiation, Zhang Wolf never mentioned the matter of making a movie, even if Feng Dechang proposed it, Zhang Wolf hummed and just didn't accept it.
I'm not afraid of this, but that doesn't mean I don't care.
You can cooperate with whoever you like! Lao Tzu has no time to play with you.
After playing for two more days, Zhang Wolf said goodbye to his reluctant father-in-law, mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and took Tang Feifei and his eldest sister on the train home.
When Zhang Wolf and the others left the capital, it was the eighteenth day of the lunar month, and when they arrived in Heishui County, it was already the twentieth of the lunar month, not far from the new year.
Go to the engineering headquarters and drive home.
Xiaoshu and Xiaohe have all returned, wearing a brand-new green uniform, not to mention more energy.
"Brother, sister-in-law, sister, you're back!" Xiaoshu and Xiaohe, who were practicing in the parking lot, saw Zhang Wolf's car and hurriedly stopped the car to greet him.
"I'm back!yo!I'm getting taller again!I'll see, good fellow, I'm taller than me now!" Zhang Wolf looked at his two younger brothers.
Zhang Wolf's height of 1.8 meters, in this era, even in the Northeast is considered tall, but now I haven't seen him for half a year, and the two younger brothers who were originally as tall as him have scurried around again, more than 1.85 meters.
Now Xiaoshu and Xiaohe have become the old man's new favorites, and he pulls his brothers every day to ask about their study and life in school, and asks over and over again.
shouted that this year's ancestor worship must have a good talk to the ancestors, and they Zhang family came out with two more general seedlings.
It has always been the old man's wish to make the Zhang family a general, but unfortunately it was shattered in Zhang Wolf, and now he has pinned his hopes on Xiaohe and Xiaoshu.
Don't say it, don't worry about Shijiazhuang Army Command College or National Defense Technology University, both of which are the cradles of generals, these two schools have produced a lot of generals.
Of course, being a general is not only based on academic qualifications, but also about having connections, and one's own ability is also very important.
Competence here refers not only to military skills, but also to communicative skills.
Someone at the top pulls, someone below supports, and in the middle, you have military skills that can convince the public, so you can do things.
