After a small test of "Let the Bullets Fly", Li Crazy doesn't seem to be addicted, this time I want to really make a large-scale war film, this theme is after the marketization of mainland films, no one has tried it, and everyone is excited to guess what war Li Crazy is going to film.

Think about it, there are large-scale explosion scenes, I'm afraid it won't be the era of cold weapons, it seems that there is only the end of the Qing Dynasty and the War of Resistance Against Japan, with Li Xiaole's tradition of never designing costume dramas, the theme of the War of Resistance against Japan is very likely, netizens on the Tianya website are speculating with great interest, what is Li Crazy's movie going to shoot this time, is it "Let the Bullets Fly 2", or is it a remake of "Tunnel Warfare" and "Mine Warfare" These classics?

On the other hand, hundreds of film production companies in China, large and small, have been recruited by Li Crazy for the first time, which has made the crowd excited, you must know that this is the Black Pearl Company, which has become one of the four major films in China, in the first open recruitment link in China, whether it is the students of the film and television academy, or the old birds who have been in the industry for many years, they all submitted their resumes to the Black Pearl Company with apprehension and expectation, wanting to try their luck.

In just three days, Li Crazy's influence in the Chinese area, coupled with H's strong flickering with "Transformers" as bait, Black Pearl Company's mailbox received thousands of letters of competition......

Li Xiaole and Lei Ting selected the information of all the applicants, and the smoothest result was in the martial arts, the company quickly selected a team led by Chen Jie, the reason is very simple, this Chen Jie is very famous in the circle, not only because he is experienced, but more importantly, he is from an elevator engineering background, and he is very unique in the erection of various clue wires, and he is also very good at engineering blasting, which is very in line with the requirements of the crew this time.

After all, Li Xiaole himself has been a stand-in for so many years, and he still has a lot of experience in these stunts.

The first thing that can be determined is that the crew can't afford the first-class team in Europe and the United States, and their asking price is too high, even the cheapest Australian team, just the cost of a business trip to China for half a year has already cost millions of yuan, not to mention that the props they use have strict requirements for the venue.

What's even more frustrating is that several special effects production companies in the United States turned out to be millions of dollars as soon as they opened their mouths, and the famous production "Pirates of the Caribbean" KernerOptical team said that if you want to come to China on a business trip for half a year, the lowest price is 7 million US dollars, and CG production has to be counted separately, so Li Xiaole almost didn't catch his breath, no wonder this KernerOptical will close its doors in 2011.

On the other hand, although the domestic group is cheap, it only costs 1.25 million at most, but obviously Jishu can't meet the requirements of "Saidek Balai".

Of course, this is just an expedient measure, and Black Pearl must be based on its own team in CG production, so Li Xiaole has already put forward requirements for Lei Ting:

"You have to learn the way they make CG in the film, I believe that those image software programs are not a problem for you, and at the same time, you have to look for a group of young Chinese designers who are talented in CG processing on the Internet, and we have to carry out independent team training, and now we will learn from Korean companies first."

Lei Ting's talent for digital images is unmatched, she used her connections on the Internet, and found a twenty-seven-year-old designer named Wu Wei, and then recruited some young CG designers with Wu Wei as the backbone, in just one week, the CG team of Black Pearl Company has begun to take shape, and Li Xiaole gave this team group a very interesting name, called "Black Sail".

Now this "black sail" is just being produced, and when this "black sail" is deployed, the speed of the Black Pearl Company will be greatly improved.

And the most critical department, the special effects makeup team, just looking at the work is meaningless, Li Xiaole can only take a stupid approach, he conducted a realistic interview on the second production set, he even gave those interviewees who accepted a business trip abroad for half a year and signed an agreement, chartered a plane transfer, and conducted a competition with domestic counterparts to select the best.

This competition has attracted great attention in the industry, with more than 70 special effects makeup artists participating in the competition, including 20 people from the United States, Canada, Australia, in the eyes of many people, this competition can be expensive, and even a bit wasteful, from Li Xiaole's point of view, it is very worthwhile to find a suitable core makeup team.

Li Xiaole's topic is very simple, within three days, he can make a simulated character model with the materials of the special effects base of China Film Group, anyone can do it.

This is the way he has watched a "special effects makeup artist showdown" program, in a short period of time, limited material theme, you can see the depth of this person's special effects makeup skills as soon as possible, and he will fully include modeling, sculpture, color lines, airbrush coloring, character design and many other details within three days.

No matter how good the model that many people bring to make, it is useless, maybe it took him more than half a year to make one, the combination of efficiency and quality required in the movie.

And the results of Zuihou's interview are also expected, Lanny Wisemore from Los Angeles won the favor of Li Xiaole, this brown-haired white female designer is only 24 years old, the face is very small and cute, the body is thin like a paper man, wearing a colorful cloth patchwork clothes, and putting various decorations on his body, his hair is also curled into a weird braid like a ghost baby, looking like a bad girl who likes to style weird.

But she made a model dummy that was almost identical to Li Xiaole himself within three days, and cut off the head of this "Li Xiaole" in front of everyone in the interview, which scared everyone.

Look at her information, Lenny Wisemore is a member of the legendary family in the American makeup industry - the Wisemore family, but his father Michael Wisemore is the most famous makeup artist in the family, but this father divorced the mother who raised her very early, and the two are in a state of being enemies after the breakup.

She started doing makeup at the age of 17, working for a family haunted house, and she also worked in a morgue before being hired by Magee-FX at the age of 20 in Sun Valley, California. There she processes and creates life-size aliens, carnivores, werewolves, horror characters and various film projects, and is currently a freelance makeup artist.

......"I'm a crazy fan of H, and I'm fascinated by Happy・Li's handsome appearance, and I want to work with him." ”

Li Xiaole looked at her resume, and couldn't help crying and laughing in her heart, okay, this is a talented female designer, but obviously a weirdo, but most of the talented people are perverts, it's her, Lenny Wisemore as the new crew on the Black Pearl.

After some hard work, the three teams were finally formed, and after building the model scene with Xu Zhen, Li Xiaole and Han Sanpin applied for the project requirements for shooting a co-production film.

The investment in "Saidek Bale" this time is still based on the responsibility system of the factory director, and as for the investment, it is due to the requirements of "Saidek Bale" this time1. Although 800 million is huge, it has not aroused much opposition from many people.

No one has any opinions on the subject matter, since Li Xiaole can make "Let the Bullets Fly" have a box office of more than 700 million, then Weishenme can't make a 1. What about 800 million movies?

At most, everyone was just discussing in private: "Is Director Li too risky this time, although it is an anti-Japanese story, he filmed Taiwanese aborigines, does anyone watch it, and the audience is not familiar with these characters." ”

"Who knows what he thinks, anyway, their second studio has a set of marketing skills, it's hard to say that this film won't sell well......"

"Well, the most important thing is how the cast is, as long as there are good actors, no matter how bad the subject matter is, it's not a big problem."

Everyone knows that although the subject matter is not very optimistic, after all, the script is still good, as long as a group of big-name actors are gathered in the name of Li Xiaole, it is not a big problem for this movie to recover its costs, after all, the ripple effect of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" and "Let the Bullets Fly" last year will continue to ferment.

And the actor is indeed exactly the link that Li Xiaole is currently worried about.

After the news of the start of filming of "Saidek Balai" came out, although even the outline of the script had not yet been made public, Li Xiaole received hundreds of recommendation letters from actor agencies in the entire Chinese area, and each agent tried his best to promote his actors, not only those unknown young actors, but also many top actors who did not have film contracts across the Taiwan Strait also hoped to star in this movie.

Chen Daoming, Wang Zhiwen, Sun Honglei, Huang Qiusheng, Huang Rihua, Liu Dekai, and even Zhou Yanfa all expressed their willingness to have a schedule and be summoned by Li Xiaole at any time, not to mention, Zhou Xun, Lin Jiaxin, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Lu Yi, Lin Feng These new generation actors.

If it were any other movie, this situation should make Li Xiaole feel excited, but this time, he couldn't use these people, because this movie carries the soul of the Saidek people, and he wants to keep it as original as possible, and he decided to use the same as the original version, most of the actors use Taiwanese aborigines, instead of using professional actors.

After a small test of "Let the Bullets Fly", Li Crazy doesn't seem to be addicted, this time I want to really make a large-scale war film, this theme is after the marketization of mainland films, no one has tried it, and everyone is excited to guess what war Li Crazy is going to film.
