Chapter 92: The Tai Chi crew set off

readx;

This week, according to the arrangement of the company's production department, the crew of "Tai Chi Grandmaster", which director He Andong is responsible for, is ready to set off and go to Mentougou in Yuzhou to make preparations before the start-up. Yan Shuo, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, and the supervisor personally accompanied the team as the producer.

Zhuo Qinglian is busy, of course, he will not personally supervise the production, there is Yan Shuo, deputy general manager and head of the production department, and the producer.

Although the male and female protagonists of Zhou Yi and Tang Yan are not yet in place, "One-armed Knife" has not been filmed, and there is no winter vacation yet, the crew must go over in advance to prepare, arrange the exterior scenes, and make various preparations for start-up.

In this way, when the holiday is over, Zhou Yi's brothers and sisters can go directly to shoot, which can save a lot of time.

You can't wait for them to pass and reprepare again, then it's too late.

It's normal to go over a month in advance to prepare.

And the distance between the two places is not far, from Yanjing City, it is about three or four hours by car, even if the filming of "One-Armed Knife" cannot be completed, it will be easy to film on both sides.

This is mainly to grab time for Yousheng's "Thunderbolt Jiaowa 2 Raptors Crossing the River", and they communicated in advance, because Zhou Yi is now very famous, and the screenwriter has increased his roles, even if he plays the villain, but there are a lot of scenes, and at least a month should be reserved for the holidays, which is to say less, after all, it is an action blockbuster, and it is not so easy.

Even if Yan Ying's winter vacation is very long, there are about sixty or seventy days this year, but if she is so busy, the time may not be enough.

It is estimated that there is no free time during the Zhouyi holiday, and even the New Year cannot be celebrated.

This is still that he does not need to attend the Golden Dragon Award and Huabiao Award ceremony, otherwise he will have no time. From this point of view, it is good that there are no award nominations, and there is no need to waste time. With his current age and current situation, what he needs is not awards, but filming time, anyway, it is enough for awards to have the Saturn Award, and it is not his turn to win important awards at all, and it is the same whether there are important nominations or not.

At the end of the year, the Feitian Award was completed, and there was no award event for him to participate in this year.

The schedule is coordinated by the relevant departments of the company, and Zhou Yi knows it in his heart.

Maybe the holiday filming is going to fly around.

Tang Yan has a scene to film, she is very happy, and she is ready to use TV series to hone her acting skills, and she will be a face-brushing screen bully for a period of time.

However, Zhou Yike was really worried, and the time was too tight.

The crew of "Tai Chi Grandmaster" has been preparing for more than two months, Director He signed a contract with Zhengdong in early October, and now it is mid-December. Now it's normal to go to the location and plan to start filming.

In the past two months, Director He has done a lot of work. Of course, the preparation starts with the script, according to the script created by the Three Musketeers of Zhengdong according to Zhou Yi's outline, Director He has already made the TV series shooting script, not just taking the script and shooting, you must have a lens script, so you can know it in your heart. Although the filming of TV series is not as demanding as that of movie shooting, it is also necessary to be well prepared, and the director has to put in a lot of effort before it can be filmed well.

At the same time, the recruitment of behind-the-scenes personnel and actors has now been determined.

At present, the casting of the crew has been completed, and all the important roles have been settled.

In addition to the main roles set by Zhou Yi, there are also suitable candidates for various supporting roles.

The most important movement instructors and martial arts teams are required to be proficient in Tai Chi, Bagua, Xingyi, etc., and there are also suitable candidates and contracts have been signed. After this matter, the crew is almost complete.

Usually Zhou Yi is very busy, he definitely doesn't have time to design specific actions, if he has a good idea, at most he will put forward opinions, and he will definitely not have time to design the whole process, of course, he must invite a professional martial arts team.

Zhengdong's action director Huang Huacheng is not proficient in Tai Chi, so there is no way, he can help shoot when he has time, but he can't lead the action design.

Zhou Yi usually pays attention to these things, and when he goes to the studio to film, he will also have a little understanding, but he really can't take care of them, and he is so busy that he is dead. Director He Andong can only be responsible for it, but fortunately, Director He is experienced, and the two-month preparation went smoothly.

There is also the help of the staff of the production department, and Director He can handle it.

Now some of the behind-the-scenes staff of Zhengdong have been transferred to the crew of "One-armed Knife", and some have been transferred to the crew of "Tai Chi Grandmaster" to help, and they all have work to do, depending on which side needs it. The production department will arrange it, and the supervisor will be responsible for this aspect.

Now the studio, including the props factory and the scenery workshop, are occupied by the crew of "One-armed Knife", and the post-production room is the main battlefield of Director Zhao and his "Ace" crew, which is very busy.

Director He and the main staff of the TV drama crew are also over there, occupying the original TV drama studio.

They don't need a studio or a post-production room to prepare. In the preliminary preparation of the service road, just occupy a few studios, and the place is enough. Zhengdong's hardware facilities and pre-investment can bring convenience to the crew.

There are too many things needed for the filming of TV dramas, and you will definitely have to rent them from relevant professional companies, so you don't have to prepare everything yourself, which is relatively easy. The filming funds were in place long ago, and it was not a problem at all.

Zhou Yi took the time to understand these situations and didn't ask any more.

He is most concerned about the martial arts team.

Director He hired a well-known martial arts team in the industry "Xiong Family Class", they often participate in the filming of film and television dramas, and their reputation is not low, they have just completed the filming of a TV series, and they were supposed to rest at the end of the year, but they still accepted Director He's invitation to join the crew of "Tai Chi Grandmaster". This is not only Director He's face, but the script is also very attractive to them.

Xiong Songshan, the head of the Xiong family's class, is an old-timer in the national arts, don't look at the word Songshan in the name, but he is not from Shaolin, he is from the real practice of Tai Chi, and he is the eighth section of the national arts.

If you don't have the title of high-level national martial arts, if you want to set up a martial arts team and gain a foothold in the industry, don't even think about it, no one will pay attention to you.

This senior bear has long wanted to shoot a TV series about Tai Chi, and with a suitable book, he is naturally willing to accept the invitation. Zhou Yi hasn't met them yet, because the martial arts team won't come over directly, won't come to the studio, there is no place here, the TV series won't shoot in the studio, they will go directly to Mentougou, the location of the shooting, and meet the crew.

Zhou Yi will be able to see them then.

Of course, it must cost a lot to invite such a famous martial arts team with seniors in charge.

For this alone, the crew's expenditure reached 1.5 million yuan.

This is much higher than the cost of hiring Lin Xianglan to choreograph and participate in the performance last time, and even this can be regarded as the highest salary expenditure of the whole crew. There is basically nothing to spend more than one million Chinese dollars except for this.

However, it is worth the money, and the other party can at least come up with two national arts eighth stage and one national art seventh stage to participate.

To put it bluntly, this is not only the cost of designing the action, but also the cost of their performance, and they are not a role, they are a team, and they are contracted a large part of the work of the crew, and in general, it is still very cost-effective.

In particular, the roles they play are important.

It is not enough to rely on casting alone, it depends on professional talents to play, Director He repeatedly considered and carefully searched for them, and finally contacted them to finalize this professional team. This not only depends on the strength of national arts, whether they understand Tai Chi gossip, but also whether their main members are suitable for important roles in the film.

For example, the character of Chen Zhengying in the play is the master of the male protagonist Yang Yuqian and the father of the heroine Chen Shaoqi.

In the previous life, this role was played by Master Yu Hai.

Yu Hai is a professional Shaolin master, and he starred in films such as "Shaolin Temple" and "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" starring Jet Li in his previous life.

If you want this drama to be brilliant in this world, it is natural to have similar old drama bones to star.

Xiong Songshan, the head of the Xiong family's class, nicknamed "Old Bear" in the circle, personally played this heavyweight role.

Compared with Master Yu Hai in the previous life, this old master Xiong in this life is not far behind in terms of resume.

In his previous life, Yu Hai was taught by Mr. Lin Jingshan, the successor of the Seven Star Mantis Boxing, to learn authentic Mantis Boxing. In this life, Xiong Songshan has worshiped the descendants of Yang's Taiji as a teacher, and he also has contacts with Chen's Taiji, and they are all insiders, of course, he is willing to participate in the filming of this TV series that is related to Chen Yang Taiji, and do his best. In order to avoid controversy and avoid legal issues, the names of the people in the play are all fictional, and historical names are not used, but everyone understands it.

In his previous life, Yu Hai was born in a professional class, graduated from the college, and was an official national martial arts athlete, who participated in major martial arts competitions at all levels in the country for many times, and won the championship of swordsmanship, stick fighting, mantis boxing and all-around champion more times. In this world, Xiong Songshan has also participated in events of the corresponding grade, and has won the championship of Taiji Sword and Taijiquan competitions many times.

In his previous life, Yu Hai visited Myanmar with the Chinese martial arts delegation many times, visited Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union, and visited Myanmar with Premier Zhou and Foreign Minister Chen Yi, and served as the coach and captain of the Chinese martial arts delegation many times, visiting more than 30 countries around the world in total, making due contributions to mutual understanding and friendship between the Chinese people and the people of all countries in the world. Lao Xiong is not so brilliant in this life, but he has also visited foreign countries and has a corresponding resume.

Lao Xiong is also one of the deputy directors of the Qilu Guoshu Museum, and his identity is similar to that of the captain and head coach of the Shandong Wushu team in Yu Hai in his previous life.

Whether it is identity or strength, it is indeed very appropriate for him to play this role.

Zhou Yi was very satisfied with Director He's casting.

In the previous life, this TV series was filmed by a group of martial arts masters and professional masters, and it is the same in this life.

In his previous life, Billy Zhou, who played the role of Duan Wangye, was a Canadian lightweight free fighting champion and a world light and middleweight free fighting champion.

The role of Dong Hancheng in the play, played by Xu Xiangdong in his previous life, was the main force of the Hebei martial arts team, a master of eagle claw skills, proficient in fists, feet, knives and guns, and later obtained a bachelor's degree in martial arts of Beijing Institute of Physical Education, and went to France to study for a doctorate. It's a pity that he gave up the opportunity to become a kung fu star.

The role of this life is played by Master Meng Jiandong of the eighth stage of the national art of the Xiong family class, and his skills are absolutely fine.

Master Meng Jiandong is a master of Baguazhang, concurrently cultivating eagle claw grappling, with profound skills, and Xiong Songshan is a close friend, and is also the pillar of the Xiong family's class. It is naturally very suitable for him to play the role of Dong Hancheng, a master of gossip.

There is also the role of Chen Zhengzhou in the play, in his previous life, he was played by Jet Li's senior brother Wang Qun, he used to be the captain of the martial arts team of Beijing Shichahai Sports School, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, not to mention his martial arts skills, he is proficient in everything in the south and the legs in the north.

The role of this life is played by Gao Kun, a senior national martial arts seventh-stage Gao Kun of the Xiong family's class, which is also no problem.

In her previous life, even Hui Yinghong, who played Aunt Hong, was born as a famous beater.

However, this role does not have many scenes in the play, so Xia Ping, who signed a contract with Zhengdong, can play it.

Aunt Xia Ping finished acting in "Ace" and "One-armed Knife", and she will continue to act in TV series.

Her supporting role in "One-Armed Knife" is almost over.

The first woman, the second daughter, and the third woman in the play are naturally Tang Yan, Qiu Cao and Guo Aiming, a younger sister and two senior sisters.

This kind of lineup configuration is already super strong, counting Zhou Yi, it is not a problem for the overall lineup to surpass the previous life.

Knowing these situations, Zhou Yi was naturally very relieved.

Now that the crew of "Tai Chi" has gone to Mentougou to make preliminary preparations, Zhou Yi can only wish them a smooth journey and all the best. He has to go over winter break. After the crew is ready, they can shoot group scenes and unimportant supporting roles first, as well as practice scenes or something.

It's okay to shoot some scenes in advance, as long as the director is in charge.

As for Zhou Yi's work, it has been arranged.

There is no class on Wednesday afternoon, and you can take leave for the "Ethics and Law" class on Thursday afternoon, and Zhou Yi wants to use two afternoons, at most, plus free time on Friday, to finish filming various advertisements, and cannot be delayed. After all, I have been too busy with work recently, and I have to solve it quickly, so I don't have much time to waste. Through the contact arrangement of the company's headquarters, Caizi Group and Juneng will prepare in advance and actively cooperate.

Now that Zhou Yi has wound himself, he is really ready to fight.

Seeing him working so hard, his classmates were quite speechless.

The head of the class is so busy that he hits the back of his head.

Could it be that the energy of the master of national arts is so abundant? It's really desperate!

If you change to an ordinary person and play like this, you will already be tired and lie down!

In fact, it is not impossible for this kind of tired and dizzy thing in the industry, some artists faint when they are tired, and people give them the nickname Little Sheep, then there is no way. But with Zhou Yi's super physical fitness, he is a man who wants to be an iron-blooded tough guy, of course, there is no problem, and he can definitely support it.

Shui Yuexun also secretly muttered to Brother Zhou Yi: "Who is the superstar of the two of us?" Why are you so busy, brother, and I'm so idle? ”

Zhou Yizhen Khan: Who will make you tired? I was born to work hard, and I have a sister to raise at home!
