Chapter 267: Something Happened to the Company
"Actors in place"
"Thirty-eighth, one shot, action!"
On the endless plains of the Hetao, a large-scale war is taking place.
No, it's not so much a war as a hunt.
Between them, a group of white cavalry dressed in white armor and armed with spears were chasing another group of cavalry.
Unlike the white-horse cavalry, the cavalry that was being pursued was indeed in a scattered formation, or there was no formation at all; they had no armor, and they were only dressed in animal skins, and they were holding scimitars in their hands, and they were also in various colors.
Slowly, the cavalry fleeing in front of them was gradually about to catch up!
"Click, the whole team is coming back, Bai Ma Yi pays attention to the formation!"
"Click, come again!"
"Click, the soldiers in front of you, listen, you are Wuheng people now, don't think about any queue, this is not training, just run forward desperately on horseback!"
"Click, do it again!"
......
"Click, over!"
After filming more than ten times in a row, hearing Li Mu finally shout, the soldiers on horseback were also relieved, and now they feel more sad about filming than training.
Twenty times! Twenty times! Twenty times! Although I knew that the cavalry scene was not easy to film, it took more than half an afternoon to shoot a shot, which made Li Mu, who had long been ready to fight a protracted battle, a little surprised.
I hope that filming a few more scenes will go more and more smoothly, Li Mu thought about continuing to shoot the following scenes.
"Actors in place, scene 38, two shots, action!"
This and the camera are actually connected with the previous one, one thing chases, and the other is to catch up and start fighting.
However, it is too dangerous to shoot together, after all, they are thousands of real horses, and it will be troublesome if the horses collide together, so they can only be filmed separately.
Although everyone's movements have been rehearsed many times and they are very clear about what they should do, there are still many mistakes when it comes to shooting.
But fortunately, with the increase in the number of times, the actors' mistakes are getting better and better, and it took more than a dozen shots to finally succeed!
Then I took some close-ups of the army fighting, and these scenes were much easier to film, after all, as long as I filmed so many people, I finally finished filming before 6 o'clock in the afternoon.
Fortunately, it's June now, and the sun goes down late, otherwise I won't be able to shoot if I want to shoot after the sky slowly turns dark, and this is also a few times overtime for the crew!
"Mr. Li, this war scene is really uncomfortable to film!" Lu Yi, who had not yet taken off his armor, sat down beside Li Mu with a boxed lunch and sighed.
Li Mu nodded, and ran a bite of food before saying, "Indeed! I always repeat a scene and don't talk about you, I'm a little irritable!"
As Li Mu said, the biggest problem is not the actors' performances, but their mentality, if this is Peng Yuyan here, let alone shoot more than a dozen times, I'm afraid that the mentality will be out of balance after filming eight or nine times.
This is also one of the purposes for Li Mu to train with the army, and when they train, they also repeat walking in line and kicking the right step every day, only after experiencing this, can their minds be more firm, and they will not be unbearable after more than a dozen games, and they will not be in a state at all.
"Hurry up and eat, rest early after eating, you will have something to suffer in the future!" Li Mu was not in the mood to chat, and he was also tired from eating in a big gulp.
After eating, the crew didn't have any other spare activities, and even if there were, everyone was not in the mood now, so they all got into their tents and rested early.
However, before he could close his eyes, Xu Min hurriedly came in with the computer in his arms.
"What's the matter?" Li Mu knew from her that something big had happened, and he had told him before that there was nothing he couldn't decide not to bother him.
"Mr. Li, the "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" filmed by Hua Yi was officially completed today, and it has been scheduled to be released globally on July 15th!" Xu Min said and handed him the computer, which showed the video and news of the press conference of "Havoc in Heaven".
Worldwide release?
Li Mu shook his head, it's just a gimmick, it's not a film by Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, and the theme is a theme of Journey to the West that Westerners are not familiar with.
When I opened the news, it was exactly the same as Li Mu thought, on July 15, the three places in China and the southeast were simultaneously released, and Wang Zhongjun also excitedly announced to reporters at the press conference that the cost of 300 million yuan of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" has been recovered through overseas copyrights, peripheral copyrights, and audio-visual copyrights, and the domestic box office share will be all their profits.
Three yuan, that is to say, these copyrights were sold for 50 million yuan together, it seems that the IP of Journey to the West is really popular, the cost of this movie has not been recouped before it is finished, if the box office can really break one billion, then Huayi will make a lot of money this time, even if there is investment from other companies, it is more than any of their previous films, and this is close to half of last year's annual profit.
It is estimated that as soon as this news comes out, other film companies can't wait to come out and follow suit! Li Mu thought about continuing to read this other news.
Sure enough, several companies have released words to prepare to shoot the Journey to the West movie.
The first to start the action was Tengxun Pictures, and "Journey to the West: Monkey King Three Fights the White Bone Spirit" is already forming a crew and recruiting actors.
Isn't this what Berner has already filed for in radio and television, and why has it now become a project of Tengxun.
Seeing Li Mu's puzzled expression, Xu Min explained on the side, "Berner has filed "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", and Teng Xun is now going to shoot "Journey to the West: Monkey King Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", which has been recorded in radio and television, but Teng Xun let Berner invest half of it, and this movie is now jointly invested by the two companies!"
Forehead......
In this case, Li Mu really has nothing to say, originally the copyright of "Journey to the West" does not belong to any company, anyone can shoot it, and Berner has no way to take Tengxun, but Tencent still understands the reason that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and it will not be good for them if they really get into trouble with Berna, and it is reasonable to share part of the investment.
"Is there anything else?" Li Mu asked again, if it was just this little thing, he couldn't come to her at night so much, Li Mu must have something important, and it was related to him or the company.
Hearing Li Muwen's question, Xu Min looked a little nervous, and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Could it really be that something big has happened?
Li Mu frowned, "Say it quickly!"
Xu Min took a deep breath before saying, "Mr. Li, something happened to the company, Mr. Chu didn't let me tell you, for fear of affecting your filming, but ......"
"Talking about the point!" Li Mu said loudly!
