Chapter 178 The actors

The hero and heroine of "Myth" and the villain Professor Gu have been determined, and another more important character is naturally William, who is disguised by Liang Jiahui in the original version, the scientist who studies the mysterious floating power.

Perhaps influenced by the original version, Zhang Yi still invited Liang Jiahua to act. And Liang Jiahui has just finished filming "Changing Face", and because of this, he got rid of the ban of the Taiwan authorities, so naturally he will not refuse Zhang Yi, and even pushed off a lot of starring scenes for this.

Others, such as Meng Yi's deputy general Nangong Yan, and the generals of the Qin Dynasty, did not have many scenes, so Zhang Yi did not go out of his way to find actors. In the mainland, it is not difficult to find the right actors.

The preparation of the film is obviously not as simple as determining the actors.

Polar Shadow Special Effects Company, now Zhang Yi has invested a lot of money, has developed rapidly, although it is still a loss-making company, and it is also the only loss-making company in Zhang Yi's industry, but it is the company that Zhang Yi attaches the most importance to.

The development of the Polar Shadow special effects still satisfies Zhang Yi, at least worthy of the funds invested by Zhang Yi.

The special effects involved in this movie are undoubtedly the heavenly palace in the underground palace and the floating power, these things obviously cannot be shot directly, and they need to be made with post-production special effects.

And Zhang Yi was not very satisfied with the design of the original underground Heavenly Palace, and the terracotta warriors and horses around the Heavenly Palace were not very satisfied, so he made a lot of effort in this remark.

"This is the Heavenly Palace! Very good. Zhang Yi looked at the designed Tiangong model and was very satisfied. The model is not alone, but a group. Moreover, Zhang Yi also designed the Nantianmen and prepared to perform a martial arts battle outside the Nantianmen.

"Boss, look at these models of arrows and crossbows, how about the models of the chariots?" Lan Naicai said to Zhang Yi.

When Zhang Yi heard this, he was immediately interested. The arrows and crossbows of the previous dynasty were absolutely powerful and abnormal at that time, and the Qin State was able to dominate the world. Absolutely and its powerful crossbow, the chariot has a role that cannot be ignored. Moreover, these two things are definitely sharp weapons in war, and if Zhang Yi wants to restore the ancient war scenes, he will naturally not miss these two things. Now, he still can't forget the shock of Qin Guo's arrows and crossbows when he first watched "Heroes".

"Not bad, not bad! Compared to the people who designed these strong crossbows and battlefields, I checked a lot of relevant information. Zhang Yi looked at it and nodded, and said. The strong crossbow and chariot Zhang Yi found someone to design it, and spent a lot of money on it, but the money was still worth it.

This is an ancient scene in the film. Zhang Yi didn't change much, but just gave an explanation for Zhao Gao and Qin II to kill Meng Yi. Among them, Fusu and Meng Tian are naturally mentioned. For Meng Yi's robbery, it is also the heaviest part of the entire war scene, which is even more magnificent than the state army snatching the princess.

For the original version, snatching the princess, but shooting at the carriage all the time, and not afraid of hurting the princess, seems a little unreasonable. A war scene that robs people and a war scene that kills people naturally cannot be the same. Different wars naturally require different weapons.

The ancient scenes of this film involve the military of the East. History, art, etc., on costumes, weapons and other props. Zhang Yi didn't want to deviate from history, so Zhang Yi spent a lot of energy, invited a lot of people, and even invited a lot of experts.

Of course. In addition to the action design of this film, a lot of thought was put into it.

After returning from the special effects of the Polar Shadow, Yuan Kui came to the door and showed some of the design of the film to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi looked at the action designed by Yuan Kui. The brows furrowed more and more, and Yuan Kui, who was watching from the side, hung his heart and looked at Zhang Yi nervously.

"The action of this film involves ancient battlefield fighting and fighting, as well as modern fighting, and there must be a difference between these two aspects. In ancient times, it was mostly a fight of weapons, while in modern times, it is naturally more about fists and feet, which is very well designed. However, it is not enough. In particular, the design of the battlefield fight is not enough. Double fight, multi-person fight, battle of hundreds, battle of thousands. The battle of horses, the battle of chariots, we can discuss these again. The battle on horse, the broadsword vs. spear, which you designed is very ornamental, is somewhat distorted. The Qin Dynasty did not have stirrups, and the cavalry at that time mostly fought with chariots, or with bows and arrows, bronze swords and halberds. Zhang Yi looked at Yuan Kui, and then asked, "You designed this alone?" ”

Yuan Kui nodded.

Zhang Yi thought for a while, and then said: "One person's skills are short, and his imagination is limited, even if you and I discuss it, it is estimated that it will not be perfect." Among your brothers and sisters, there are many of them. Before going to the mainland to shoot, it is best to design the battle on the battlefield. ”

"yes, okay." Yuan Kui nodded, thought about it, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, see if you can find a time to go to the mainland to investigate first, after all, some actions need to cooperate with the shooting location." ”

"Well, you're right, I'll do my best to arrange, and before filming starts, I'm going to do a field trip. As for this film, the action strives to be realistic. It can't go beyond the scope of human power. Of course, in the case of the dungeon with the power of levitation, it is still possible to fly around. Zhang Yi continued.

"Mythology" is being prepared in a low-key manner, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and as Zhang Yi's new film, it has attracted a lot of attention in Hong Kong.

What Zhang Yi didn't expect was that this movie actually attracted great attention from the mainland. Of course, Zhang Yi had to doubt this investment intention that came from his hundreds of millions.

"Mr. Zhang, our film has been highly valued by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and you have also received a reply that you need the military to cooperate in the performance, and you can provide 500 good horses for free within 10,000 people. Moreover, if necessary, the Cultural Affairs Bureau can send history professors from major schools and terracotta warriors and horses experts as guidance. Liao Yiyuan said to Zhang Yi with a smile.

When Zhang Yi heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. Regarding the number of people in the army, he always thought that two or three thousand people would reach the sky, but he did not expect that the number could reach 10,000. What kind of scene is 10,000 people? Do you need so many people? After all, costumes and props are not ready-made.

The most important thing is the five hundred good horses, which is what really shocked Zhang Yi. As for what kind of experts and professors, Zhang Yi naturally did not refuse. To make this film more rigorous, why not.

"Myth" is not a movie with a main theme, and it can be said that it is against the sky to do so. This had to surprise Zhang Yi. After all, the investment of hundreds of millions is just an intention.

However, in addition to Zhang Yi's hundreds of millions of investment intentions, there is another important reason for the mainland's attention to this movie.

Zhang Yi is now increasingly influential in Hong Kong and even in Southeast Asia. This influence is no longer just incidental to fame. After all, a foreign exchange made Zhang Yi's net worth skyrocket, and his status also rose with it. And this incident also shows Zhang Yi's talent in finance.

In addition, Zhang Yi became the vice president of Ming Pao, and it may not be long before Zhang Yi has another Ming Pao, a very influential newspaper, to grasp public opinion.

In other words, the mainland does not pay attention to movies, but to Zhang Yi.

"Mr. Liao, can you arrange it, I want to take some people to the mainland for a field trip?" Zhang Yi came back to his senses and said immediately.

Going to the mainland is not only to conduct a field investigation, but also to connect with the other side.

"This is naturally no problem, I will do my best to arrange it." Liao Yiyuan immediately smiled and said.

"Xiao Min, do you want to go to the mainland with me this time?" Zhang Yi said to Zhou Huimin.

"I won't go this time. "My Sassy Girlfriend" is about to be released, and I still have to be busy with publicity, and I still have to figure out the role of Yushu slowly. Zhou Huimin smiled and said, "Ah Yi, when are you going?" Will you attend the movie premiere, this is the first movie I starred in. ”

"Don't worry. I went to the mainland, and I guess I will go next month. The premiere of "My Sassy Girlfriend", I would naturally attend. Zhang Yi smiled and said, "However, I'm afraid it will take about a month to go back and forth this time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in time for your birthday." ”

"Huh. It's okay, birthdays are celebrated every year. Zhou Huimin smiled, and then said to Zhang Yi, "With you, every day is as happy as a birthday." ”

"Just be happy." Zhang Yi looked at Zhou Huimin and said, "Me too." ”

On October 24, the girlfriend premiere of "My Sassy Girlfriend", the first romance film written by Zhang Yi, attracted many media and audiences.

That night, Zhang Yi accompanied Zhou Huimin to attend. (To be continued......)
