Chapter 186: The Dance of the Heavens

The opening ceremony of "Myth", Zhang Yi did not notify any media, and wanted to carry it out in a low-key manner. However, this is clearly unrealistic.

Zhang Yi has always been low-key, but the media is eager to hear about him, especially Zhang Yi's new film, which naturally gets the attention of many media. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the opening ceremony of Zhang Yi's new film is still known by the media.

Since Zhang Yi's "Resident Evil", most of the films he has written and invested in are blockbusters, and perhaps the smallest investment is the low-budget romance "My Sassy Girlfriend" that is as high as 30 million in Hong Kong.

is small and big, and it has not happened to Zhang Yi. The most successful is his first film "Nightclub", a film of empty gloves and white wolves, which now seems to have become an irreproducible legend as Zhang Yi's fame grows louder and louder.

"May I ask Mr. Zhang, you have invested in and written several major productions in a row and have achieved success, so what is the investment budget for this film? Will it also be a big production? A reporter then asked.

"Big tsuò is for sure, but the investment budget is not very high. Yindu Institution invested 10 million, and I personally invested 10 million. Of course, this is only the initial budget, and if it is not enough after shooting, it will naturally be added. Zhang Yi smiled and said.

Nearly 10,000 troops starred for free, and there were 500 good horses, and the highest salary among the actors was Liang Jiahui, and he still received a friendship price, and the big cost was not only special effects, but also props and costumes, and these were almost all made in the mainland, and the cost there was naturally much cheaper than in Hong Kong.

Of course, this is only the initial budget. Zhang Yi's movies are almost as producers himself, and he will not worry about money.

Twenty million, not very high. Everyone was speechless, this has been able to shoot several movies in Hong Kong, just like Zhang Yi's "My Sassy Girlfriend" has an investment of only a few million.

Of course, if it is compared with his previous investments such as "Resident Evil", "Hurricane Rescue", "Changing Face", and "Rush Hour", it is naturally much less. And if you compare it with Hollywood's big productions, it's just a fraction.

However, 20 million is indeed considered a big production in Hong Kong. It's just that they don't know that the big system zuò in Zhang Yi's mouth is not measured by the investment budget. After all, if the nearly 10,000 troops are replaced by nearly 10,000 extras, the 500 good horses will cost money, and it is estimated that 20 million will not be able to shoot this film.

War burns money the fastest, and filming war scenes burns just as much money. Big production, big scene! The scenes in this film are absolutely unprecedented these days.

"Then Mr. Zhang, can you talk about your non-movie? Is it a movie that tells a mythological story, as the name suggests? Another reporter asked.

"Hehe, it's okay if you say he's a myth. Certainly not a traditional mythological story, though. He incorporates elements of love, action, and adventure, and you can say he's a pseudo-sci-fi film. Zhang Yi still smiled and said.

"Will the style of this film be like films such as "Resident Evil", which caters to the Western market and has a very Western film style?" A reporter asked again.

"This is a pure oriental movie. It involves military, history, culture, etc., and in order to make this film more rigorous, I specially invited many university history professors as consultants. This film, both in terms of script and preparation, was the one that took me the longest time. Zhang Yi said.

"So what does Mr. Zhang expect from this movie? Can it break Hong Kong's box office record again? A reporter then said.

Nowadays, the highest box office on the Hong Kong box office list is no longer directed by Zhang Yi's films. Of course, the highest movie is still marked by Zhang Yi. Because the movie was written and invested by him.

"Breaking box office records? Hehe, everyone wants their movies to break records. However, this has to wait for the filming to see if the audience likes it or not. Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"Mr. Zhang, Miss Zhou plays the heroine of this movie, will you take special care of her? Was this heroine specially written for her? A reporter looked at Zhou Huimin beside Zhang Yi and then asked.

"After the script is written, the actors are determined. As for whether it will be taken care of, then I don't know. Even if you take special care of her, it's human nature. Who made me her boyfriend! Zhang Yi smiled and said, "I'm like this, you won't say that I don't distinguish between public and private, right?" ”

"Miss Zhou, I heard that Mr. Zhang, the heroine of this movie, first invited Miss Zhao Yazhi, and then decided to let you play. For this reason, have you ever felt that you are a substitute and angry with Mr. Zhang? "A reporter shifted the target to Zhou Huimin.

"No, it won't. I support every decision of Ah Yi. What's more, Sister Zhi is my idol, she can't play due to family reasons, and I am very happy to be able to play this role for her. Zhou Huimin smiled and said.

"Mr. Li, do you feel about playing the leading role in Mr. Zhang's movie? After all, the actors in Hong Kong who want to work with Mr. Zhang are very jealous of you. ”

Zhang Yi faced reporters, and now he is at ease, and what he said is also smooth and steady, and he can't catch any breaking points, so many reporters shift their targets to others.

Li Lianzhu is still a second knife in Cantonese now, the reporter spoke very quickly, only half understood, a little embarrassed, and at this time Liang Jiahui beside him immediately translated into Chinese and said in his ear.

"I feel honored and excited to be invited by Mr. Zhang." Li Lian said immediately.

"Mr. Liang, I heard that in order to take over this play, you withdrew a lot of the protagonist's plays, why? After all, you're just a supporting character in this movie. A reporter then said like Liang Jiahui.

Now that "Changing Face" has caused a sensation in Hong Kong, it has spread to Southeast Asia. And Liang Jiahua and Zhou Yanfa were in the limelight, and he himself also had the aura of an actor, and he and Zhou Yanfa were equally matched in "Changing Face", but now he is here to be a foil for a mainland actor.

"Why? Hehe, because this is Mr. Zhang's movie. The Liang family smiled and said a very simple reason, but this reason is very powerful. Zhang Yi's movie is indeed very appealing, not to mention the supporting roles, just a trick, it is estimated that the invited actors will not refuse.

At the opening ceremony of "Myth", Zhang Yi did not invite the media, and the media who came now just heard the rumors and rushed here. Therefore, this launch conference seems very casual and brief. But everyone knows that tomorrow this will definitely make the headlines of the major media.

There are not many exterior shots in Hong Kong, most of them are indoors or in studios. Of course, the studio has the most scenes.

The scenes in the dungeon need to be filmed in the studio, and entering the dungeon and passing through many mechanisms will also be filmed in Hong Kong, and those organs are all built.

Entering the dungeon, Zhang Yi selected many of the mechanisms mentioned in the tomb robbery novel, which was much more exciting and shocking than the original version.

In the original version, the mechanism for entering the dungeon was too simple and too random. Apparently some sorry for Qin Shi Huang. Therefore, Zhang Yi has added many scenes here. Of course, in order to show the power of the organ, it is natural to prove it with human lives.

In the studio, in addition to Zhang Yi and other crews, there is also a special effects team led by Lan Naicai.

Although Zhou Huimin practiced martial arts with Zhang Yi, her body was much better than that of ordinary actresses. But hanging Weiya is really a tiring thing, and she has to do a lot of dance moves on top of Weiya.

Flying Dance. This was added by Zhang Yi to Zhou Huimin. In the dungeon, what Yushu and Jack dance after their reunion is to echo the dance on the Great Wall.

It's just that this dance, under the suspended power of the underground palace, flies around, and it is not easy to show it beautifully. After all, it is not easy to jump out of the suspended sky with Wia hanging.

This dance, under the support of the heavenly palace and the suspended terracotta warriors and horses that came out of the later production, will surely be a shocking visual enjoyment.

"Xiaomin, do you want to take a break?" has been shooting continuously for more than an hour, but it still has not achieved the desired effect, and sweat drops have appeared on Zhou Huimin's forehead, obviously tired.

"No, keep shooting, it will work this time." Zhou Huimin smiled, shook her head and said. In his eyes, there was a sense of perseverance.
