After Li Zhenning came to the crew, Lin Nan began the process of learning English while filming, it is undeniable that Li Zhenning is indeed a very good teacher, and even Lin Nan, who thinks he has no talent in English, has made great progress in teaching.

In July, after the summer vacation, Zhan Xiaonan also came to the crew a few times, in order not to disturb Lin Nan's filming, he accompanied Lin Nan here for a few days and then returned to his home in Xijing, and then he came to visit Lin Nan occasionally.

In fact, this is also what Lin Nan meant, after all, the environment here is really not very good, hot during the day and cold at night, and the climate is very dry, besides, Zhan Xiaonan can't help much here, staying here will not only affect Lin Nan, but also completely suffer from it.

After the time entered July, Lin Nan also began to prepare for the publicity work of "Journey to the West", and did not start the publicity plan before for fear of affecting the launch of Nanshan Chinese Network, but now Nanshan Chinese Network has gained a firm foothold, and is still in the competition with Jinhua Chinese Network, so Lin Nan is no longer worried about affecting Nanshan Chinese Network.

First of all, according to the usual practice, Lin Nan first added a link to the official promotional page of "Journey to the West" on the official website of Nanshan Film and Television Company, and posted some specific information about "Journey to the West" on it, including the selection of actors and the filming progress.

Now that Lin Nan has launched something on the official website, there is no need to ask friends from all walks of life to help send meager publicity, because now there will be a large number of media reporters observing the movements of the official website of Nanshan Film and Television Company every day.

"Nanshan Yi joins hands with Zhou Xingchi to shoot the new film "Journey to the West"!"

After seeing the information of "Journey to the West" from the media, many fans flocked to the official website of Nanshan Film and Television Company for the first time, and then clicked on the link of "Journey to the West" at the top and jumped to the official main page of "Journey to the West".

Without looking at the specific information below the webpage, fans who just listen to the name Lin Nan know that their idol Director Lin Nanda has reached out to the classical masterpiece "Journey to the West" this time, anyway, it is not the first time that Lin Nan has done this. Didn't the previous "Cooking Wine and Exploring the West" refresh people's perception of "Journey to the West"?

So as soon as they saw this name, the vast majority of people thought that this is definitely not an orthodox Journey to the West story, not to mention the word "big words" in it!

What does "big talk" mean, that's a braggart pen. So you can see from the name alone, this is probably a film with a spoof of Journey to the West.

No one doubts Lin Nan's spoof skills, because most of Lin Nan's works since his debut are famous for spoofs, and when they see the three words Zhou Xingchi in the starring list, fans are also very much looking forward to it, what kind of feast will these two spoof kings bring together?

At this time, in addition to some introductions to the filming progress on the official page of "Journey to the West", some stills of the crew were blown out by Lin Nan, mainly the styling of several characters and some interesting things that happened to the crew. Each picture is also accompanied by a short commentary, which instantly attracted the attention of many fans, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time when watching it.

These stills Lin Nan will be updated every few days, and it is also to let fans know the filming progress of the movie at any time, which can not only play a role in promoting the film. And it is a good way to shorten the distance between the crew and fans, so that the movie has maintained a certain degree of attention and topicality in the days before the completion of filming.

Time passed like this, until the end of September, after more than five months of filming, the filming of "Journey to the West" was finally completed.

After completing the filming work, Lin Nan took the crew to have a meal at the best hotel in Xijing, firstly, to thank the crew for working hard for so long. It was also to celebrate the successful completion of the filming.

After filming the movie, they also enjoyed such treatment, which flattered the employees of Hantang Media who participated in the filming of the film, and at the same time, they all gave Lin Nan a thumbs up, this director is generous enough!

After the celebration, Lin Nan directly returned to Haidu with the people belonging to Nanshan Film and Television Company, but he did not stay in Haidu for long. With Zhou Xingchi, they came to Hong Kong together to carry out the post-processing work of "Journey to the West" in Hong Kong.

Lin Nan originally wanted to go to the United States to do special effects for "Journey to the West", because the special effects team in the United States is stronger than the domestic one in terms of technology and experience, but because "Journey to the West" is not a science fiction movie, but a movie mixed with mythological elements. Lin Nan was worried that the American special effects team would not be able to make that style of Chinese mythology at all, so he finally chose a very well-known special effects company in Hong Kong to produce special effects for "Journey to the West", after all, Chinese people also have a better understanding of Chinese mythology.

When making special effects, Lin Nan, the main creator, must be present, on the one hand, to put forward his own opinions and requirements, and on the other hand, to supervise.

And when he asked for opinions, Lin Nan was not stubborn, but often asked Zhou Xingchi and the special effects team for their opinions, after all, three stinkers can still compete with one Zhuge Liang, not to mention that these people's vision does not have to be low for him Lin Nan, it is really hard to say who is the stinker.

When the post-production of special effects, Lin Nan also used some leisure time to confidently watch the last 20 works of the original micro-film competition, at this time the voting has already ended, and according to the vote, each contestant has also received the rewards they deserve, it can be said that the competition has officially ended.

But for Lin Nan, this competition did not really start until this time, because his original goal of organizing this competition was only implemented at this time, that is, to select a capable or potential production team worthy of training through these 20 works!

Twenty micro-movies, even if you watch them roughly, it takes a lot of time, not to mention careful viewing and analysis, so Lin Nan's progress is relatively slow, but fortunately, this matter is not very urgent, and there are several movies Lin Nan excluded at the first glance, and there are only fourteen or fifteen that need to be seriously appreciated!

Because of Lin Nan's high requirements for "Journey to the West", he also attaches great importance to the special effects of the movie, and adds special effects to many shots, plus this movie is far beyond the length of ordinary movies, so the special effects work is also relatively slow, although the special effects company began to prepare as early as soon after the film started, but it took two full months until the special effects of the movie were completed!

After the completion of the special effects production, it has reached the end of November, and according to the solar calendar, it is almost the New Year, Lin Nan understands very well that "Journey to the West" is estimated to be released this year, and according to today's progress, it will take about a few months for "Journey to the West" to really meet the audience, so it is estimated that this year's New Year will be overtime again.

In the two months of special effects production, Lin Nan also selected seven of the twenty contestants, and then let Wei Junbo contact these seven contestants.

Now that the special effects production has been completed, after Lin Nan returned to Haidu, he directly asked Wei Junbo to call these seven people to the company, and Lin Nan wanted to meet these seven people in person.

These seven people had already received news from Wei Junbo, so now as soon as Lin Nan returned to Haidu, they immediately rushed to Haidu, after all, this was a great opportunity for them, and the reason why they participated in the original micro-film competition was for this opportunity, and now that the opportunity is in front of them, they are more excited than anyone else.

Lin Nan met these seven people with Wei Junbo and several experienced old employees in the company's crew, and after the interview, Lin Nan left five people and the production team behind these five people.

With the entry of these five teams, it seems to have injected a new force into Nanshan Film and Television Company.

In addition, the team that originally went to shoot the third part of "Chainsaw" has already returned to Haidu, in order to train the five new teams, Lin Nan mixed them together and divided them into two groups, and selected the director and the person in charge, and then selected the two most promising scripts from Jiang Lin and the scripts they have written over the years and handed them over to the two crews to shoot, of course, in addition to training them, it is also to create several projects for the company, after all, the company can't always rely on Lin Nan to support it alone, and multiple projects are carried out at the same time. This was discussed by Lin Nan and Wei Junbo at the beginning.

When the two crews were preparing to start construction, the publicity work of "Journey to the West" did not fall, and Lin Nan also held a special press conference after the special effects production was completed, but he did not answer any substantive questions at this press conference, because there is still a long time before the movie is released, and it is not good for the movie to expose too many things now, so most of the time he is talking about something that is not important.

And the biggest expectation of this press conference may be that Lin Nan released the trailer of "Journey to the West".

The trailer of "Journey to the West" was also carefully cut out by Lin Nan himself after the special effects were completed, and he knew very well where the highlights of this movie were, so the cut trailer was also very eye-catching.

Funny dialogues, exaggerated shapes, wonderful fighting effects, and a typical Zhou Xingchi-style nonsensical style...... All kinds of highlights make fans look forward to this movie!
