Chapter 404: Filming officially started

Looking at Wang Guohao, Zhang Dabao, the head of the group, said: "Wang Guohao, haven't you always wanted to be an actor who can show your face? Now the opportunity has come, I just saw an announcement in the group, the crew of "Mr. Zombie" is recruiting actors? ”

Wang Guohao said: "Okay, thank you." ”

Listening to Wang Guohao's words, the surrounding group performers all laughed.

A chubby group actor next to him sneered: "Wang Guohao, you said that you will climb the pole, "Mr. Zombie" is a movie directed by Lin Chen, and director Lin Chen is a popular director in the entertainment industry!

"Maybe Wang Guohao can really take shit luck, you see that people have been playing tricks here for so many years, even if it is their turn, it should be their turn!"

"Wang Guohao, if you are popular, don't forget to bring us along!"

……

Listening to Wang Guohao to interview for the role of the crew of "Mr. Zombie", the group actors around Wang Guohao thought that Wang Guohao was a little self-conscious, but listening to the sarcasm and ridicule, Wang Guohao didn't think so.

"The dream still has to be had, what if it comes true?" is Wang Guohao's motto, so whenever a crew wants to interview for a role, Wang Guohao will give it a try, but every time Wang Guohao is brushed off without accident. There are even many times when there is no chance of an interview, but this has not affected Wang Guohao's determination to become an actor.

In the ridicule, Wang Guohao checked the movie "Mr. Zombie" on the Internet, there is no information about "Mr. Zombie" on the Internet, and by inquiring Wang Guohao knew the characteristics of the actors he was looking for in "Mr. Zombie", and the requirements were to know martial arts, have profound acting skills, and be familiar with Maoshan culture is preferred.

Wang Guohao likes Lin Chen's "Happy Ghost" very much, so Wang Guohao thinks that "Mr. Zombie" may be a series sequel to "Happy Ghost", but if it is related to Maoshan culture, it seems to have nothing to do with "Happy Ghost".

Wang Guohao was born in the countryside, naturally knows some ghost and god culture, simple farmers when they encounter unresolved things, they usually look for people in the village who will dance immortals, although this is ignorant and undesirable in the eyes of the public, but this is not for Wang Guohao, who grew up in the countryside, he feels nothing.

Although Wang Guohao doesn't know if there is the kind of great immortal that people say, the starting point of these great immortals is good, and they are all persuading people to be good. For these Chinese supernatural cultures, Wang Guohao naturally recognizes. For this role, Wang Guohao naturally wanted to give it a try. Through the group head Wang Guohao quickly registered.

Since the chopsticks brothers media publicly selected the role of Qiusheng, it has attracted the attention of many group performances and entertainment companies, and the effect of Lin Chen's works is obvious to all, especially Deng Bing, Xia Liyi, Wang Gaofeng, Pang Junqiang and Zhang Bo in the martial arts drama "Shooting the Condor", they were all unknown before, but through "Shooting the Condor", everyone can recognize these characters, so many people hope to appear in Lin Chen's works.

For the character of Qiusheng, most people are stuck in the section of knowing martial arts, but there are still dozens of people who have signed up for Qiusheng in the past few days, including many third- and fourth-tier artists from other entertainment companies, and some second-tier artists.

By checking the information of these characters, Lin Chen brushed down another batch, and finally Lin Chen set a day on September 25th to interview the remaining actors.

In the chopsticks brothers media hall, the staff is maintaining order, Wang Guohao is the first time to come to such a place to interview for a role, and at the same time, Wang Guohao's dress also seems a little out of place with the entire interview, Wang Guohao is obviously a little timid, but Wang Guohao still went to get a ranking number.

Soon the interview began. "Number 1!"

……

In a short period of time, Lin Chen knocked down more than a dozen actors, and what made Lin Chen speechless was that many of these actors who interviewed did not know martial arts, and they all had a fluke mentality.

Tiaozi said speechlessly: "Lao Lin, I think today's interview is better to forget it, these actors today are purely here to tease us, you said that you can't even turn over a heel, and you are ashamed to say that you know martial arts." ”

Lin Chen was also speechless for today's interview actors, but there were only a few actors left, so Lin Chen still decided to go through the process and give everyone a chance.

Soon there was only one Wang Guohao left, and in such an interview scene, listening to how the other actors were talking about the mountains and how their backs were thick, Wang Guohao became more and more unconfident.

"Number 32!"

After reading his name, Wang Guohao officially entered the game. Lin Chen Wang Guohao naturally knew him, and after seeing Lin Chen, Wang Guohao became even more nervous.

Lin Chen looked at Wang Guohao's resume, which can be said to be the most inconspicuous of these interviewers, in the column of acting career, only six years of group performances are written.

Tiaozi said directly: "Let's take a look at the two heels first." ”

Turning heels is naturally not a problem for Wang Guohao, and after quickly adjusting his nervous mood, Wang Guohao directly turned a few heels, and after the heel flips, Wang Guohao showed a few more fighting moves.

Wang Guohao's actions naturally prove that Wang Guohao has real kung fu, and Xia Liyi, one of today's interviewers, is full of praise for Wang Guohao's kung fu. Wang Guohao's age and body shape are undoubtedly in line with Qiusheng's personality, and the next thing is acting.

“356!”

This kind of acting value is enough to prove that Wang Guohao has some acting foundation, Wang Guohao has been a trick in the past few days, obviously he has not undergone professional training and honing, if such acting value is guided by Lin Chen, it will naturally be easy to win the role of Qiusheng. The most commendable thing is Wang Guohao's kung fu. It can be seen that the foundation is very solid. Then Lin Chen decided that Wang Guohao would play the role of Qiusheng.

After determining the four roles of Uncle Jiu, Qiusheng and Ren Tingting and Wencai, there are some other supporting roles next.

The zombie role of Mrs. Ren and Mr. Ren also has a lot of fight scenes, and the zombie role of Mrs. Ren in another time and space is Yuanhua, one of the Seven Little Blessings.

As one of the seven little blessings of the Hong family class, Yuan Hua was also a full dragon set emperor at the beginning, and was later appreciated by Bruce Lee and became Bruce Lee's stand-in, I thought that I could use Bruce Lee to come in, but Bruce Lee died young, and it was still difficult for Yuanhua to get ahead in the talented Hong family class, and later became popular with the role of the charter man in the movie "Star Master", and everyone knew it for a while.

Yuan Hua's kung fu is naturally very good, among which Old Lady Ren, Uncle Jiu and Qiusheng have a lot of fighting scenes in the movie, so the role of zombies must also have very strong martial arts skills. Who should be used for this role?

This character Lin Chen thought of Xia Liyi, Xia Liyi has a relatively strong martial arts foundation, and at the same time, the role of the old lady is almost indistinguishable from ordinary people's eyes under the use of makeup artists. As for the role of Master Ren, Lin Chen thought of using Zhang Bo, after all, he killed his own brother and went into battle as a father and son soldier, this pair of master and apprentice can just play father and son in the movie.

However, Zhang Bo's age plays Teacher Ren, and he really needs to be embarrassed by the makeup artist.

Soon Lin Chen communicated with Xia Liyi and Zhang Bo about these two roles, and Zhang Bo and Xia Liyi naturally did not have any resistance to such roles.

Next is the role of the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu, this role Lin Chen chose the female artist An Qiqi under the Light Brothers Media.

After determining these roles, Lin Chen officially announced the movie "Mr. Zombie", which involves thriller, comedy and action. It has indeed attracted a lot of people's attention, and at the same time, it has also brought heated discussions to everyone.

"I seem to be watching the sequel to "Shooting the Condor", but I didn't expect Lin Chen to switch to the film and television industry again. ”

""Mr. Zombie" is a sequel to "Happy Ghost", I like Happy Ghost very much. ”

"Looking at this genre is a little unsettled, it is very difficult to involve thriller, comedy and action at the same time, I hope I don't shoot three different things. ”

"As long as Lin Chen's works can always bring surprises to people, I must support "Mr. Zombie". “

……

After deciding on all the characters, "Mr. Zombie" can be said to be ready for everything, only owes Dongfeng. Such a movie about supernatural zombies is indispensable for a good makeup artist. However, it is very taboo for makeup artists in the industry to make makeup for supernatural movies. Some of the industry's top makeup artists are reluctant to take on this job even if they are given no amount of money. There is also the role of the current funeral director.

One of Huang Xiaoqiang's cousins happened to be engaged in this industry, and when Lin Chen was in need, Huang Xiaoqiang recommended his cousin.

After the preparation of the crew was completed, Lin Chen officially announced the start of "Mr. Zombie". Lin Chen's current name, the opening ceremony of "Mr. Zombie" has attracted the attention of all walks of life, and everyone is looking forward to Lin Chen's thriller, action, and comedy movie.

Of course, there are also some film critics who do not approve of Lin Chen's publicity stunt, thinking that Lin Chen is just filming a sequel to "Happy Ghost", and such publicity is grandstanding.

On October 3rd, under the witness of the media, "Mr. Zombie" held a grand opening ceremony in Yanjing, "Mr. Zombie" does not need some bizarre special scenes, as for some terrifying shots and atmosphere, it needs to be built temporarily, Yanjing Film and Television Base plus some temporary framing shots are enough to shoot this movie.

At the opening ceremony, Guo Haibin and Wang Guohao, who are the main creative lineup, appeared on the red carpet ceremony. If Xia Liyi, Zhang Bo and Liu Changcai can take care of the corners, but looking at the unfamiliar Guo Haibin and Wang Guohao, many reporters don't know how to interview and report, after all, many entertainment media reporters don't even recognize the two.

"Who is the creator on the red carpet and the person next to the creator?

"It's right if I haven't seen it, this is very Lin Chen! Lin Chen has never played cards according to common sense. ”

"I thought this was the sequel to "Happy Ghost", but with such a cast, it seems that Lin Chen is going to do something again. ”

……

Wang Guohao, who was on the red carpet, had never attended such a kick-off ceremony, and he instantly became the focus of the media's shooting. Guo Haibin next to him is no better, although Guo Haibin has seen such a start-up ceremony, but he never thought that he would become the main creator of a movie, until the staff handed the knife to Guo Haibin to cut the roast pig, Guo Haibin realized that he was the protagonist today.

After the start-up ceremony was completed, Lin Chen was surrounded by media reporters.

"Director Lin, is "Mr. Zombie" a successor to "Happy Ghost"?"

"Director Lin, what are your expectations for the box office of "Mr. Zombie"?"

"Director Lin, can you talk about the general plot of this movie?"

……

Lin Chen did not answer the reporter's interview with the media, but in this era of transparency and detail, the origins of Guo Haibin and Wang Guohao were quickly picked up by the media.

Everyone quickly knew that Guo Haibin, who was the main creator, was originally only engaged in the martial arts industry, and he had never shown his face in any movies before, and Wang Guohao was a full dragon emperor, so it can be said that the supporting roles in this film are bigger than the protagonists.

For a time, the identity of the main creator aroused the discussion of the people who eat melons.

"A martial arts finger, a dragon set, such a main creative lineup, what movie can we look forward to?"

"This Liu Changcai and Li Jing are a little better, but the main creator is a newcomer who doesn't have any performance experience, Lin Chen shouldn't be teasing us!"

"Could it be that Lin Chen is inflated, just come up with such a theme, and casually put together such a team?"

……

After digging deep into the identities of Guo Haibin and Wang Guohao on the Internet, the industry can't see Lin Chen's routines, and various film critics and the industry have also lowered their expectations for "Mr. Zombie".

Lin Chen did not respond to the doubts of the outside world, but started the filming of "Mr. Zombie".

The first scene to appear in the movie is Yizhuang, Yizhuang is the place where the coffin is parked, Lin Chen chose a temple in Yanzuo, the temple has a coffin village and customs, which can be used as props for the crew, of course, using the temple venue and these coffin props, Lin Chen will donate some incense money to the temple.

Lin Chen drew a lot of storyboards for "Mr. Zombie", and the beginning of "Mr. Zombie" was a spoof, such a filming location needs dark light, and these special actors who play zombies at the same time are found by Lin Chen through the group leader, in addition to a certain salary, the crew needs to give these people some red envelopes.

The beginning of the shot, in addition to the costumes and props, the most important thing is the makeup artist, it is not difficult to turn the dead into a living person, but to make a living person into a dead person, it requires a certain amount of skill, Huang Xiaoqiang's cousin cousin, Huang Li is very professional, and soon a lifelike zombie was dressed up under Huang Li's skillful hands.

At the beginning, it was the rivalry between Wang Guohao and Liu Changcai, and Qiu Sheng, played by Wang Guohao, came to scare the literary material played by Liu Changcai.

In the past few days, Wang Guohao has been gnawing on the script, and at the same time learning some zombie culture, so at the beginning, Wang Guohao's performance is qualified, but for Lin Chen, it is far from enough to be qualified.

"Wang Guohao, your facial expressions are more exaggerated. Liu Changcai, you should be more timid, you should be very afraid of these things. ”

Under Lin Chen's command, the first framing of the story was quickly completed, and soon Lin Chen devoted himself to the shooting of the next shot, and then he had to prepare professional props for this drama.
