"Hollywood Economic Journal" commented on the front page of the acquisition of AMC Cinemas by Chinese film star Mei: "After the Chinese company gets AMC Cinemas this time, Black Pearl will completely get rid of the last unstable factor, and in the battle of the three kings of world cinema at the end of the year, Black Pearl has the opportunity to surpass Warner and Twentieth Century Fox and become the new hegemon of the entire world film industry~!" ”

Looking at these reports, all the people in the world film industry are enthusiastic, and finally~ After Hollywood movies dominated the world for a hundred years, a powerful challenger was ushered in, Li Xiaole drove his pirate ship to the last treasure in this movie sea! Whether this pirate ship with black sails can become the true king of this sea will be revealed in 4 months!

In the uproar of the outside world, "The Legend of the Great Sage" held a grand opening ceremony, but unlike other movies, most of the time in this movie was spent in the studio, and the exterior scenes of the gorgeous film and television base were combined with large vistas and some shots in the later stage, and at the time of the opening ceremony, the Film Bureau, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the Ministry of Culture, almost all the leaders who could come came, and they were surprised to see those huge studios.

Everyone was preparing to take a group photo of the start-up, and the crew looked around for all the personnel, but at this time, Sun Li, who played the princess of the iron fan, was in a corner, nervously holding a small English dictionary and reciting words, Ha Zhiyuan saw it in his eyes, and also walked over and asked her: "Sun Li, what's wrong, are you still practicing English?" "Although this shooting is all in Chinese, the crew requires several Chinese actors when there are interviews and publicity, and this burden naturally cannot fall on Jiang Wengeyou, an old actor who is not good at English, and only young people can pick up the girder, and finally choose to choose, that is, to Sun Li's head.

"Miss River...... Can you tell Director Li not to let me be this publicity actor? Sun Li hurriedly received the small English dictionary behind her back, and her delicate eyes were a little timid.

"Why, you don't have many roles, and your image is good, who are you not on?" Ha Zhiyuan smiled and looked at the "Iron Fan Princess" Sun Li, who was wearing a glamorous cheongsam and staring at two gorgeous feathers on her head, showing such a shy expression, and she really felt a little cute, and praised her sincerely.

"Where do I have a good image...... Sun Li looked at Ha Zhiyuan staring at her, couldn't help lowering her head shyly, and said softly: "I don't look as good-looking as Miss He, and my English is not as good as Sister Zhiling, and my speech is far worse than that of Teacher Siqin Gaowa, I don't think I can do a good job as a propaganda actor...... You know that when I travel abroad, I see foreigners that I don't dare to talk to......"

Ha Ji Won can see that she is not doing badly, but she has no self-confidence in her heart, there are too few Chinese actors on the world stage, and she has a natural fear of the media in the United States and Europe, for fear that she will lose the face of Chinese actors and the like.

Ha Zhiyuan also shook his head and laughed when he thought of this, in fact, when she first arrived in the United States, she was also very worried that she would not be able to face those foreigners, but at that time, Li Xiaole encouraged her, and when she thought of this, she couldn't help but cheer Sun Li up, and teased her: "I am Korean, Lin Zhiling is Taiwanese, and Teacher Siqin Gaowa is Swiss, we are an authentic Chinese blockbuster, of course, you want to speak from this authentic mainland ancestry, which is of political significance." ”

Sun Li was helpless when she heard this, but she still said with some distress: "I'm afraid of embarrassing Director Li...... This is my first time acting in a world-class film, and I'm afraid that foreign audiences won't like me......"

Ha Zhiyuan smiled and sat next to Sun Li, moved closer to her and said with a smile: "Platoon Commander Sun, to speak from your heart, do you want to be like Gong Li Ziyi as a Chinese on the world-level stage." ”

"I'm ......" Sun Li lowered her head and said nothing.

"Li Xiaole just dreams about it." Ha Ji Won looked into the distance and said softly: "That was in 2001, I was only a 20-year-old student at the time, and Li Xiaole and I went to watch "The Lord of the Rings"~~ I was intoxicated by the movie and couldn't extricate myself; Li Xiaole left the movie theater and went to the gym to punch sandbags to vent. At that time, he was an acting college student, and his life was not settled, but in his spare time, he still wrote some scripts of Chinese mythology. He was depressed at the time: he said that the fantasy world of his daydreams had been brought to life by Peter Jackson. He felt that "The Lord of the Rings" was a movie that he could not surpass in his life......"

Ha Ji Won couldn't help but giggle when he said this: "At that time, he was really stupid, holding some cheap equipment from school, trying to recreate the filming process of Peter Jackson. He made our professors and classmates mad by creating blinding bright light in the classroom and making the camera roll along a track to rehearse the push-pull photography, and he was completely obsessed with the fact that he was lying in the library of Dankook University for many days, reading all the books related to special effects......"

"That's what he said at the time." Ha Ji Won learned from Li Xiaole's serious expression at that time and said: "Hey, Sister Ji Yuan, I must make a Chinese mythology movie that is better than "The Lord of the Rings"~~"

Sun Li watched Ha Ji Won vividly learn from Li Xiaole's serious appearance, and laughed out loud with Sun Li's "poof", and sighed in her heart, it turns out that Director Li is so young when he is omnipotent.

"But you know what, he's not kidding, he later became a director, set up his own film company, and established the world's top special effects studio......" Ha Ji Won glanced at Li Xiaole, who greeted everyone not far away, and said:

But few people know that he has done much more than that, for this film, he hired Professor Tian Dongliang, an expert in ancient Chinese literature from Peking University, three years ago to design a new writing and language system for the demon clan in the world.

I still remember that Professor Tian asked Li Xiaole at that time, what kind of pronunciation effect did he want the demon clan to have? Clicky guttural or mixed tones? In order to narrow down the choice, Professor Tian turned on the microphone and recorded several unused sound samples for Li Xiaole to choose, and finally Li Xiaole preferred the "low throat fricative", which is a common sound in spoken language, and the throat seems to be blocked by something, which is a little vague...... After determining the tone of the language, Professor Tian began to construct the basic grammar system of the original oracle bone script three years ago, which is why we have the strange pronunciation we are learning now......"

Sun Li listened in surprise and took out the booklet with the "Demon Language" attached to the script, and said in surprise: "This book took three years? Before the start of filming, the nervous Professor Tian set up a demon language training camp and taught them sentence by sentence, and if the actor's pronunciation was inaccurate, Professor Tian stopped and corrected it word by word, which made them feel very annoyed by the actors, because they wanted to perform passionately, but it was ridiculous to speak a language that might never exist...... I didn't expect it, but it turns out that this booklet alone has such a history......

"It's not just the language that has a history." Ha Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Li Xiaole also named all the animals and plants in the Heavenly Heaven where the Heavenly Palace is located...... Every animal and plant has a demon name, a fairy name and a common name, and Li Xiaole felt that this was not realistic enough, so he even hired Qiao Huasheng, head of the Department of Plant Science at China Agricultural University, to write detailed scientific explanations for the dozens of plants he created......

Professor Qiao spent about five weeks explaining to him how the luminescent and magnetic properties of the plants in the Heavenly Palace were formed. After he finished these explanations, Li Xiaole sorted all the entries into the classification of animals and plants......"

Sun Li was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect a movie to be prepared so meticulously, where is this a movie, this is simply to build a complete world.

"This behind-the-scenes work is something that no one else can see, but Li Xiaole is a fool who enjoys it, and when we got married and had our honeymoon, he also hired a lot of experts from China and the United States, such as astrophysicists, music professors, and archaeologists. They calculated the density of the atmosphere of the Celestial Heavens and created three equal structures of Xianle music. When one of the experts who came to USC pulled out the 180-page encyclopedia of Star Wars, Li Xiaole glanced at it and said, "We should do better," and I thought he was bragging. Ha Ji Won looked at Li Xiaole not far away and sighed:

?“ Did you know that, in the end, these experts and editorial teams came together to compile a 570-page encyclopedia of the world? It records all the science and culture related to the world described in this sutra...... I still remember the way Li Xiaole was moving the laser pointer and trying to show me something. I saw an incomparably rich scene, with the laser pointer presented one by one, and finally froze on a group of immortal priests. When the pen stopped, he motioned for me to look at an ornate headdress, adorned with hundreds of beads, and they looked so clear that they were no different from the real thing. Each bead is specially designed by digital artists, and Li Xiaole also said that not only do these items look handmade on the screen, but also every leaf and grass is made in this way...... Can you imagine? We're on our honeymoon!? He doesn't buy me jewelry, but he is obsessed with small objects in the movie~! You say it's ridiculous, it's not ridiculous! ”

Looking at Ha Ji Won complaining angrily, Sun Li was fascinated by it, and said very fascinated: "I think this kind of life is very happy......" Listening to these bits and pieces, Sun Li's nervousness slowly disappeared, and she suddenly felt that she was not completing a hard job, but participating in Li Xiaole's dream, and she just wanted to enjoy it all.

"I'm going to publish a booklet too~!" Ha Ji Won stood up and stretched his waist with a smile, and said loudly: "It's called "Ten Years of Living with a Movie Maniac"~~"

"President River~! It's time to take a group photo~! Still lazy here~~" Li Xiaole looked at Ha Zhiyuan who was stretching his waist there from a distance, and couldn't help but greet loudly.

"Let's go~~ Otherwise, the movie maniac is going to go crazy~" Sun Li stuck out her tongue and smiled and took Ha Jiyuan's hand, and walked towards the side of the group photo together, looking at Li Xiaole from a distance, thinking back to the bits and pieces that Ha Jiyuan told him, I always felt that the body of the man standing behind the camera emitted a faint light, very warm and powerful......
