Chapter 835: Invite Her Majesty to a Movie?
(FFF: You get the idea!)
If Wu Cheng knew that Liu Jialing would be a nymphomaniac, he would not have much trouble. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was able to throw her to the bus stop halfway, and it can be seen that Wu Cheng has no idea about her.
If he had an idea, he would definitely send her to her purpose and deepen his impression in the other person's mind. And not so casually, as it is now.
For him, Liu Jialing is just a little bit of a look! But seriously, she doesn't feel so strong about Wu Cheng.
In the last life, although the reputation of the Guan goblin was not good, but at least, he had some inappropriate thoughts about the Guan goblin, well, which is the so-called YY.
But for this Liu Jialing, he really didn't have such thoughts. She was a treasure in the eyes of the Electric Eye Emperor, but she was not so dazzling in Wu Cheng's eyes. Wu Cheng actually just gave her a kind reminder for the sake of her and him being from the mainland.
Therefore, after doing this thing easily, Wu Cheng put this matter behind him.
Back at Repulse Bay Villa, several beautiful girls are still at school and have not come back, the home seems a little empty, the wife and children are not around, and the home naturally seems extremely deserted.
So, Wu Cheng went into the study.
When Zhou Xiaomei, Wang Xiaoxian, and Sophie, the three beautiful girls, came back from school, and saw that Wu Cheng was actually back, they chattered non-stop in front of Wu Cheng, sharing their interesting stories and troubles in school. Although it was very noisy, Wu Cheng didn't care.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Wu Cheng went to Donglong International to take a shift.
As a result, Miss Zong Yugui, the president of the Hijima Shaolin Boxing Alliance, came to the door again.
Seeing this female president so 'looking at the thatched house', Wu Cheng couldn't refuse, so he met her. But before they could chat, Zhang Xinyan came in a hurry.
"Director Wu, the film has been cut, do you have time to watch it?"
Zhang Xinyan asked him with a wry smile. In the face of this willful chief director, Zhang Xinyan, as the assistant director, was also a little speechless. Other directors, even if they are not involved in the editing, will come to take care of it from time to time, pay attention to it!
But he was good, handed over the matter to them, patted his ass and ran to the wind, and the flow was chic.
Now that the film has been cut, please ask him, the director, to take a look, and he is still slow.
Seeing that Zhang Xinyan ignored the guests and directly told Wu Cheng about this matter, Wu Cheng was also a little speechless. But thinking about it, he still didn't get angry, but got up with a smile, and introduced this Miss Zong, and said, "Miss Zong, this is Mr. Zhang Xinyan, the assistant director of the movie "Shaolin Temple". I think that you came to Xiangjiang to find our Donglong International this time, probably because of the release of the movie "Shaolin Temple" on your Japanese Island! Are you interested in watching this film that has not yet been completely completed with me?"
Zong Yougui is very young, and he looks okay, not very beautiful, but he can also be classified as a beauty. But obviously, she is not Wu Cheng's dish.
Wu Cheng invited, and Zong Yougui had no reason to refuse, so he took his subordinates and followed Wu Cheng to the small screening room to watch the film.
watched this film together, in addition to Wu Cheng, the director, there was also Shi Nansheng, the company's vice president and director of the distribution department. and Cheng Xiaodong and mustachioed Chen Xunqi, who were recruited back by him with a phone call, and these two are now filming "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".
Although Chen Xiaodong participated in the filming of "Shaolin Temple" and participated in the action design, he can only imagine the effect of the cost, and it is not clear how it really is.
In order to deepen their impression, Wu Cheng felt that it was necessary for them to come over and watch the new film, although some of the soundtracks that should have not been obtained yet.
In addition to the two of them who have not yet arrived, sitting in the screening room are Zhang Xinyan, the assistant director of the film, and several editors.
Because there were guests, Wu Cheng did not deliberately wait for Chen Xunqi and Chen Xiaodong, but directly asked them to screen the film.
At the beginning of the film, there are some landscape painting circles in Artemisia Mountain, like an ancient painting, which gradually opens up and is presented in front of the audience. Compared with the original work that Wu Cheng has watched, it is almost the same, except that there are no background sounds and voiceovers.
Voice-over!?
Wu Cheng had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized something, so he compared the "Shaolin Temple" in front of him with the "Shaolin Temple" in his mind.
So, Wu Cheng gradually realized that Zong Yougui, the president of the Ridao Shaolin Boxing Alliance, personally came here to ask to see him, what was the matter.
He glanced at the Hijima woman Muneyugui, who was staring at the big screen seriously, and silently touched his chin, thinking about what this woman might ask for later.
It took a long time for him to throw these thoughts out of his mind, and then took a closer look at this 'new Shaolin Temple', which is very different from the original book.
When the first scene of the fight appeared, the eyes of Shi Nansheng and Zong Yougui, as well as several of his subordinates brought by Zong Yougui, couldn't help but light up.
Obviously, this fight is very different from the martial arts movies they have seen in the past. Between the ups and downs of the rabbit, the movements are obviously much crisper and neater, and they look more aggressive.
Shi Nansheng glanced at Wu Cheng who was sitting beside her, and didn't know what he was thinking.
And Wu Cheng wrapped one hand around his chest, gently pinched his chin with the other, frowned slightly, looking for loopholes between the clips, and where there were goofs in those scenes.
Every time a movie comes out, it is inevitable that there will be some big or small goofs, and although these goofs are small, if you don't pay attention to them, they will often be ignored, but if they are really seen, it will also affect the audience's viewing senses.
Being scolded and ridiculed is a trivial matter, and even some more serious viewers just don't watch it.
However, Wu Chengdare patted his chest and assured that the attraction of this movie to the audience is definitely very great. It can even be said to be a work of conscience.
It's not just that he spent nearly 120,000 on this film...... If you count the photographic equipment that was given to the Beiying School in the mainland, this drama will cost at least three million more.
And the key is that the cost of Shaolin interior scene studio layout is not included in this play, but directly included in the investment of the tourism development company.
In addition, although the price of Wu Cheng's calculation is high, it is really very low compared with the group performances in Xiangjiang.
In addition, the value of several major creators is not high, counting it, except for Wu Cheng himself who took a salary of one million, plus one and a half percent of the box office share, the money spent on filming this drama is the most of all the Chinese movies he has made so far.
But even so, it still cost him 12 million on this play. If you add the publicity expenses in the later stage, it is estimated that the global publicity will be more than 20 million.
However, the investment of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, to put it bluntly, is only about 4 million US dollars, which is really nothing compared to the investment of Hollywood blockbusters.
Of course, if it is a Hollywood film, Wu Cheng's salary, the unit behind one million will directly become US dollars. Although it is to make a film for himself, it should be counted as a salary, and it still has to be calculated.
The box office income is owned by the company, but his own remuneration is private.
And this film, in addition to being able to invest in it, the most important thing is the improvement of martial arts action. Speaking of which, the action improvement of action movies has actually been there for a long time, that is, the 'Fuxing 1' filmed by Hung Jinbao, in this drama, Wu Cheng is only the assistant director.
But everyone knows that Wu Cheng, the assistant director, also plays the role of action director, and many actions are designed and improved by him.
And now, in the category of martial arts films, it can be said that it has broken the stereotypes of the past, turning the rigid and somewhat rigid martial arts movements into today's more beautiful and elegant type.
Sharp means that the action is sharp and fast, but in this fastness, it does not lose its beauty, especially some of the actions of the protagonist, Wu Chengke has seen several "Huang Feihong" series movies, and some of the actions exclusive to Li Lianjie are pulled out and let the current Li Lianjie complete it, there is no problem at all, and it will not destroy the development of the plot, and it can even enhance the viewing experience.
When Wu Cheng's mind turned from the movie to the face of the Ridao woman next to him, he found that she was actually frowning, and she seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
This expression made Wu Cheng a little puzzled, could it be that this movie was so improved that it couldn't be in her eyes?
Wu Cheng turned his head and continued to pinch his chin to think, and then continued to watch the movie, but the corner of his eye would pass over the face of the Ridao woman from time to time.
Although this is not a viewing meeting, it is to find loopholes in the movie, or what is lacking and needs to be improved. But Wu Cheng will not ignore this woman's feelings.
Of course, this so-called 'not ignoring her feelings' does not mean that Wu Cheng needs to care about her anything, but that he wants to find some answers from this woman's expression, so as to occupy a dominant position in the subsequent 'negotiations'.
As for whether she feels comfortable or not, that's what it matters to him?
And looking for movie loopholes, goofs, etc., there is time to go back, just watch it a few more times. When you are a director or an editor, that's it, before the movie is released, you have watched it countless times. No matter how good the film is, if I watch it too much, I almost vomit.
About halfway through the movie, Chen Xunqi and Cheng Xiaodong quietly walked in.
It didn't take long for Chen Xunqi's eyes to widen, and when he saw the feeling of lifting a weight when the protagonist jumped up and kicked forward three times in a row, he instantly poked his G and point.
"Adong, it's useful here!" asked the mustache with his eyes glared.
"Well, let's see first, and then we'll talk!" Chen Xiaodong waved his hand and said.
