Because it is a three-film filming, the roles in the play are also selected together with the three films, and the first batch of 21 main roles is released.

The Yellow Emperor has Xiong Xuanyuan, Yandi Shennong Lieshan, Chi You, Ying Long, Luo Zu, Hou Gangjie, Nulu, Xuannu, Fei Lian, Chi Songzi, Mother-in-law, Shaodian, Fubao, Qi Bo, Li Mu, Fenghou, Dahong, Chang Xian, Chi Jiangzi, Xingtian, and Kuafu.

Because in private, Shao Shuaijun has confirmed to the production team that the actor's salary should not exceed 5 million yuan for the protagonist, not for the secondary protagonist over 2 million yuan, and for the general supporting role to exceed 500,000 yuan. Shao Shuaijun thought that such a low salary would not attract any stars.

But the response was beyond imagination, and a number of Chinese movie stars were almost rushing to audition, and were even willing to participate in the movie with zero pay. It's not just that second- and third-rate stars don't plan to ask for money, but even the top few Chinese stars don't need money one by one, as long as they can act.

"Ah Jun, you are too famous now, and everyone else wants to participate in your movie, and now, the actor's fee can be saved by half. Bring the cost down, and the movie is half the battle. Wang Wei calculated the cost of using the star lineup, and said happily.

"Who are the people who came to audition for the Yellow Emperor?" Shao Shuaijun asked casually while flipping through a stack of character modeling concept drawings.

"Let me see, Liu Dehua, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Weijian, Butter Peng, Chen Xiao......"

"What about auditioning for Emperor Yan?"

"Posted Lin, Liang Chaowei, Guo Fucheng, Cheng Long......"

"Auditioning for the Luozu?"

"Liu Shishi, Zhang Jingchu, and the former ...... of the High Court"

"It's good, when the audition is arranged. I have a few documents related to the script here, some myths and legends recorded in history, and you can help me send one copy to each actor. I hope they'll take a closer look at the material, and I'll ask a few background questions about the characters when the time comes. ”

"Okay."

Once everything is accounted for, the audition officially begins.

At the Beijing Golden Harvest Film and Television Base, Shao Shuaijun, Wang Wei, Cameron and other members of the production team, as well as members of the director team, visited together. The first audition is for some minor supporting roles, and before the audition, there will be a dedicated makeup artist. Draw an audition makeup for the actor. For Shao Shuaijun and others, is it suitable for performance.

Acting is one thing, image is also another.

Some actors haven't even started performing yet, and Shao Shuaijun directly denied it. The script was something he pondered over and over again. Each character has a scale in their hearts. Whether you can play or not just needs to be seen. Among the actors who can act, choose the ones who can play well. After half a month of casting, the main cast was finally decided.

Kuafu. Xie Tingfeng played. Xingtian, played by Wang Xueqi. Red general, played by Xu Zheng. Chang Xian, played by Lian Weijian. Da Hong, played by Deng Copy. After the wind, Zhang Guoli played. Hou Gangjie, played by Wen Zhang. Qi Bo, played by Ge You. Chi Songzi, played by Huang Bo. Fei Lian, played by Li Bingbing. Female Lu, played by Fan Bingbing. Li Mu, played by Howard Hua. Shaodian, played by Jet Li. Played by Zhang Ziyi.

The remaining Yellow Emperor, Emperor Yan, Chi You, Luo Zu, Mother-in-law, Xuannu, and Ying Long are important protagonists, and they are still in further casting. In the subsequent half-month audition, the candidates for the seven leading actors were finally determined.

The Yellow Emperor is the male protagonist of the Yellow Emperor trilogy, the only protagonist of the whole story, Liu Dehua has become the actor of the Yellow Emperor with his handsome appearance, long-honed acting skills, and hard work on the background knowledge of the Yellow Emperor.

Emperor Yan is an important role in the Yellow Emperor trilogy, the villain boss of the second part of "Yellow Emperor: The Battle of Yan and Huang", Brother Cheng Long defeated many opponents with his strength.

Chi You, who did not appear in the first two parts, was the absolute villain BOSS in the third part of "Yellow Emperor: Dragon Totem", and Zhou Yanfa won this role by virtue of his strength.

Ying Long, the main assistant of the Yellow Emperor, runs through the trilogy, the role is very important, and he must be able to play. In the end, the real bullet became the actor with his ability and understanding of the role.

Luozu, mother-in-law and Xuannu are the three heroines. In Shao Shuaijun's imagination, these three heroines, one by one, and then at the end of each part, they will die to set off the plot. In the end, Master Liu won Luozu, Zhou Xun got his mother-in-law, and Liu Yifei won his daughter-in-law.

By mid-August, all the roles, big and small, were finally completed. It's time to turn it on.

The opening ceremony was held in Beijing, and the real shooting venues were distributed all over China, such as Shennongjia, Jiuzhaigou, Qinghai Plateau and other places, where studios have been set up. As an epoch-making film series, Shao Shuaijun hopes to shoot all the backgrounds in real scenes.

CG animation effects and realistic photography combine to create the best cinematic images. The film will be coordinated, shot with IMAX-3D, 3D and ultra-HD digital cameras. The original "Inception" special effects team will join hands with D2 and ILM to participate in the special effects production throughout the process, and the original "Inception" photography team will also cooperate with Huang Yuetai, Lu Le and others.

"I am very excited and excited to be able to participate in Director Shao's Yellow Emperor trilogy, and I am grateful to Director Shao and the production team and director team for giving me the role of Yellow Emperor. For me, playing the role of a Chinese ancestor is very stressful, and I want to be able to put 100% of my energy into the performance of the Yellow Emperor. Liu Dehua said excitedly at the start-up ceremony.

"This large-scale production of Chinese films will create stories from ancient myths and legends in an all-round way, and explore the accumulation of China's 5,000-year-old history and culture. As an actor, it's a great honor to be able to participate in it. About Emperor Yan, who is also the ancestor of the Chinese, he had a war with the Yellow Emperor, but how to evaluate the historical contribution of Emperor Yan and how to portray the image of a sage is not too excessive, difficult, but very challenging. Cheng Long talked eloquently.

As the heroine of the first "Yellow Emperor: The Rise of the Bear", Liu Shishi also said brightly: "I have cooperated with Director Shao many times, and in the previous cooperation, Director Shao was very peaceful, and occasionally blowing the wind during filming, and we were all very relaxed in private." This time it was a little different, Director Shao said, 'Master Liu, you must know that this movie is the largest and most important one I have ever made, you have to be sure. You can't hold back, and if you feel that you can't succeed in performing Luozu, you should quit immediately. Otherwise, you'll meet a devilish director. I can feel that this shooting will be very hard, but I will work hard to prevent Director Shao from having a chance to find fault. ”

Shao Shuaijun also said: "I've said enough about movies. The script is a wonderful story that combines the contributions of many authors and screenwriters. The four major fantasy series are the biggest projects I've ever made. The Yellow Emperor trilogy is a special effects blockbuster. The big return on investment is unknown. I hope that all the cast and crew of our crew can work hard for two years with the greatest spirit. Complete the creation of the film. ”

The filming time of the Yellow Emperor trilogy. It is expected to span two years.

Cast and director crew. After talking about their feelings, the start-up ceremony ended.

Then the crew went deep into the mountains and began filming. And in the media. After a lot of hype, I gradually forgot about this movie.

"The Yellow Emperor: The Rise of the Bear" tells the story of the Yellow Emperor's growth, when the tribe was destroyed, the world was in chaos, and the people were struggling to make a living. In the midst of suffering, the Yellow Emperor gradually understood his mission, and began to lead the refugees to survive in the troubled times, rebuild the bear tribe, and finally divide the world into three points, and stand with Emperor Yan and Chi Youding.

And so, time flies. "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" completed the task with a global $430 million and ended successfully.

Four months later, all the shots of the first part of the plot were finally filmed, and the copies were edited into a film and sent for post-production. Shao Shuaijun continued to shoot the relevant plot of the second part.

"The Yellow Emperor: The Battle of Yan and Huang" tells the story of the Yellow Emperor's tribe growing stronger and stronger, and finally broke out in the Battle of Hanquan, after a difficult battle, the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor. When everyone was about to kill Emperor Yan, the Yellow Emperor let Emperor Yan go, because the Yellow Emperor understood that the real enemy was not Emperor Yan, but Chiyou.

When filming the second part, Shao Shuaijun was busy, and the publicity work of "The Yellow Emperor: The Rise of the Bear" was also launched simultaneously.

The schedule of the film has been arranged, and the premieres will be held one after another from May 2014, and it will be officially released in overseas box offices in June, and will land in North America in mid-June, and will be released in the mainland only after the summer vacation in Chinese mainland in July. The main actors, as long as there is a gap in filming, will go to various places to publicize.

The movie is full of Chinese stars, even if they are supporting roles, they are stars, and they don't worry about the publicity work being unattractive. In Europe and the United States, celebrities with certain international influence such as Cheng Long and Real Bullet are mainly responsible for publicity.

At the end of March 2014, the post-production of "The Yellow Emperor: The Rise of the Bear" was completed, and Shao Shuaijun took the first version of the clip to the United States for a promotion. That is, I was interviewed by several media outlets and talked about the new movie.

Then, the promotional video landed on the global Internet.

Netizen Wu and Xin are die-hard fans of Shao Shuaijun, and almost as soon as the trailer came out, he clicked on the video and began to watch the first version of the trailer with anticipation.

"The Shennong clan is the co-lord of the world, and after nine generations, Emperor Yan inherits it."

Emperor Yan, played by Cheng Long, sits on a throne built of boulders, holds a huge whip in his hand, has horns on his head, and looks different from the majesty of ordinary people. The camera looked down from above, and Emperor Yan's domineering was undoubtedly revealed.

"Attached treasure to watch the stars at night, Beidou is entangled by thunder and lightning!"

Fu Bao, played by Zhang Ziyi, looked up at the starry sky, the starry sky was bright, the Big Dipper was exceptionally bright, and the lightning was wrapped around the Big Dipper, vaguely forming a sword.

"This son has a strange omen, and Mrs. has seen Beidou entangled in electricity, and he will become a great weapon in the future." Shaodian, played by Li Lianjie, is holding a baby. The baby is fat and cute, but it can be seen that the baby has horn-like protrusions on its head and some scales on its body.

Xuanyuan played by Liu Dehua turned his back to the camera, and Luozu played by Liu Shishi asked: "You don't do anything, what do you want to do?" ”

"I don't know the purpose of my existence."

There were dead bodies on the ground, and Xuanyuan stood alone.

"Will you lead us?"

A group of refugees looked at the camera wistfully.

"Where are we going?"

A child, looking up and asking his mother, was in a group of refugees.

"Go where you need to go."

Regulus spoke loudly to a group of refugees.

"Why don't you go!" Ying Long, played by Real Bullet, scolded a group of refugees.

"We have no way out."

Xingtian, played by Wang Xueqi, rode a black panther and attacked violently...... (To be continued......)
