Chapter 161: Second Round
Completing all the filming work in a month and a half is very fast for the current film production.
Under normal circumstances, it takes at least two to three months for a movie to complete all the filming work.
The main reason why "A Chinese Ghost Story" was able to catch up with the progress so fast is, of course, that the acting skills of the main actors were passed, and a lot of NG time was saved during the filming process.
Among them, the daily relationship scenes of the male and female protagonists, which account for most of the space, are outrageous smoothly when filming, many scenes are one pass, and many are only filmed three or five times.
Zhao Zhenghao's 95-point acting skills, An Shuyi's true colors, and the long-standing tacit understanding between the two people caused such a result.
took up one-third of the film's time, and the scenes between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian got along with each other took only one week to complete the filming.
As for the shooting of special effects shots that should have dragged on for a longer time, Li Huize, who took the lead, is another senior with superb acting skills and rich experience, although it was the first time he came into contact with such a shooting method, he quickly understood that he could achieve the effect that Zhao Zhenghao wanted in the shortest possible time.
Zhao Zhenghao originally planned to take a month or even longer to complete the shooting, but with the help of Li Huize, it only took about 20 days to complete it.
Of course, for a magic movie with a total duration of more than ten minutes of special effects shots, the completion of the shooting work is only the first step in the long march, and there is still a lot of work to be done later.
Just those special effects shots, to complete them all and meet Zhao Zhenghao's requirements, it will take more than three months, or even longer!
During this time, as a director, Zhao Zhenghao can not do much, and he has already told the special effects production team in detail, and he himself does not understand special effects production technology, and the only thing he can do next is to wait.
Taking advantage of this gap, the first round has ended more than three months of the "Dangerous Journey" world tour, and the long-awaited second round has finally been put on the agenda.
After many consultations, the second round of the "Dangerous Journey" world tour will last longer than the first round, tentatively for nine months, and if there are changes in the future, adjustments will be made accordingly.
In the period of up to nine months, of course, Zhao Zhenghao can no longer hold an average of one concert every three days like in the first round, but subdivide these nine months into several stages, and during each stage, more than a dozen concerts will be held, and then there will be a relatively long period of rest and adjustment, so that Zhao Zhenghao can deal with other things.
Among these "other things", the most important thing is, of course, the post-production of "A Chinese Ghost Story", and the regular communication with the special effects production team, as well as the follow-up editing and soundtrack, all take a lot of time.
So, in general, in the next nine months, Zhao Zhenghao's itinerary was fully arranged, and there was not much time to really rest.
However, in the interval between the "Dangerous Journey" world tour, other work is interspersed, so that Zhao Zhenghao's spirit does not have to focus on one thing all the time, and he can often adjust his mood, which can avoid the previous mental tension and the situation on the verge of collapse to a certain extent.
The second round of the "Dangerous Journey" world tour will be carried out in a different order from the first round, no longer starting from the Dragon Country, but directly to Europe, where 15 concerts will be held in the next month, covering the whole of Europe.
When the second round of Cho Jeong-ho's "Dangerous Journey" world tour kicked off, it was three and a half months before the end of the 56th Grammy Awards, and the time came to mid-April 2014.
Although there was such a long interval in between, Zhao Zhenghao's record-breaking legendary performance at the Grammy Awards has not yet dissipated its influence, which makes Zhao Zhenghao's concert box office, although it has decreased slightly compared with the first round, but the main reason for the decline is that the host venue selected for the second round of concerts, the size of the audience can be accommodated, which is a notch lower than the first round, with 10,000 fewer seats per show.
Under the condition of controlling the size of the audience, Zhao Zhenghao's second round of concerts still continued to be popular in the first round, and the venue was full.
After fifteen concerts, a total of more than 800,000 people have been mobilized, and the total box office of the "Dangerous Journey" world tour has increased by more than 1.5 billion dragon national dollars, and so far, the total box office has reached more than 8 billion dragon national dollars, and it has entered the top five in the box office list of world tours in the past ten years!
Moreover, it has surpassed An Shuyi's "Eternal Memory" world tour and has become the highest grossing player in the total box office of the Dragon Country Singer World Tour!
After ending his trip to Europe, Zhao Zhenghao set foot on Africa before, holding two concerts in Morocco in the north of Africa and South Africa in the south, raising the number of continents involved in the "Dangerous Journey" world tour to six!
So far, the seven continents of the world, except for Antarctica, the other six continents, have all been conquered by Zhao Zhenghao's "Dangerous Journey" world tour.
Zhao Zhenghao also became the first Dragon Country singer in history to cover six continents!
And to extend the scope of this record to the whole world, Zhao Zhenghao is also the third international superstar to complete this achievement!
The other two who achieved this achievement earlier than him are both seniors who have been famous for twenty or thirty years, and Zhao Zhenghao is still the youngest person when he completed this achievement - he has just turned twenty-eight years old!
After the end of the trip to Africa, the first phase of the second round of the "Dangerous Journey" world tour came to an end, and Zhao Zhenghao returned to China to communicate with the special effects team who were working intensively on the production process and accepted the parts that had been completed.
In addition, he also took the time to complete part of the soundtrack of the film, and took out two classic episodes created by the master Huang Zhan in the original movie, one for An Shuyi, and the other for himself to sing.
After adjusting for more than half a month, Zhao Zhenghao once again embarked on the journey, continuing the next itinerary of the second round of the "Dangerous Journey" world tour, and once again set foot on the South American continent to feel the enthusiasm there.
