Next chapter

The two rushed back to Taiwan, and Wang Feng hurriedly contacted Yang Jie, who is also the chief director, producer, and chief preparation of "Journey to the West". net

Yang Jie was also very surprised after seeing Lin Qiangsheng, she heard that someone had invested in the crew, she immediately rushed over, but she didn't expect that the investor was a young man.

Wang Feng introduced to Lin Qiangsheng: "This is Yang Jie, the chief director of "Journey to the West"! ”

He said to Yang Jie: "This is Mr. Lin Qiangsheng, the chairman of Bincheng Dongxing Group, an overseas Chinese, he wants to invest in the crew of "Journey to the West", o million US dollars!" ”

"O million dollars? So much! Yang Jie said in great surprise, because of her excitement, her tone was Sichuan.

Although there is some resistance to the word overseas Chinese, Lin Qiangsheng did not stop Wang Feng from introducing it like this, because in China, the identity of "overseas Chinese" is really useful many times, and it invisibly adds a lot of credibility to himself.

He faced Yang Jie and said: "Ms. Yang, I am very optimistic about the film "Journey to the West", and I plan to invest in your crew and continue to shoot this drama, 11 episodes is not enough, at least one hundred and eighty episodes must be filmed!" ”

Yang Jie excitedly held Lin Qiangsheng's hand and said with a smile: "Great, we are worried about the next funds, don't worry about it now!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng glanced at Wang Feng, and Director Wang didn't expect Yang Jie to expose her family ugliness so directly, so he secretly gave her a look and asked her to be reserved.

But Yang Jie looked indifferent, and still took Lin Qiangsheng's hand and enthusiastically introduced the financial embarrassment of the crew.

Among the four famous novels, "Journey to the West" is said to be the poorest one, of course, the next two "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" were only filmed in the 9o years, at that time there was always richer than the 8o years, it should be said that there is no money in the current movies and TV series, except for "Dream of Red Mansions". It is said that the drama Red Mansion spent 68o yuan, not counting the construction of scenic spots.

Lin Qiangsheng and Yang Jie came to the crew of "Journey to the West", which is actually a room, which is temporarily borrowed. There was a group of people gathered inside, and everyone was looking at "Journey to the West" to find a mistake, and he actually saw Liu Xiaolingtong and Ma Dehua, who played Zhu Bajie.

Yang Jiehuan happily announced to everyone: "Tell everyone, this is Mr. Lin Qiangsheng who came back from overseas, he wants to invest in our "Journey to the West", and we have the money to continue filming!" ”

"Oh!" Everyone looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise and looked at them one by one. When they saw that Director Wang Feng also came with him, and with a smile on his face, it was estimated that there would be no mistake.

"Director Yang, how much is this investment?" Ma Dehua said with a smile, looking cute and cute.

Lin Qiangsheng was happy all of a sudden, but Yang Jie immediately grabbed the words and said: "Mr. Lin invested o million US dollars, and we all gave him warm applause and thanked him for his help!" ”

"Wow, o million dollars!" At this moment, everyone present exclaimed, o US dollars are equivalent to oo million yuan, and the actual value is definitely more valuable than this number.

The crew of "Journey to the West" filmed 11 episodes, and it took more than four years from 82 to 85, most of which was spent looking for money. Because there is no money, the crew can't get together often, and everyone is a working person, and the salary for filming a TV series is not enough to eat, so the whole filming process is very unsmooth.

It is said that the 86 version of "Journey to the West" only has one photographer and one camera, and many people play multiple roles, which is of course due to the actors' superb acting arts and the high skills of makeup artists, but on the other hand, due to tight funds, the crew can't find so many actors.

Lin Qiangsheng shook hands with Wei's six-year-old child, looking at the young appearance of this art master who is now just twenty-six or seventeen years old, he said excitedly: "Today I can see the real person, your interpretation of the Monkey King image is too good, too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!" ”

Liuxiaolingtong's real name is Zhang Jinlai, and he said modestly and cheerfully: "That is the result of everyone's efforts!" ”

Then, Lin Qiangsheng shook hands with Ma Dehua again, and he deliberately paid attention to screenwriters Dai Yinglu and Zou Yiqing, both of whom are master screenwriters of domestic costume operas. There are also a few makeup artists, and he also pays attention to it.

Lin Qiangsheng said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, I hope that "Journey to the West" can continue to be filmed, and I know that you all have this idea. Yes, we are going to shoot this excellent TV series to the fullest. I know that in the past, you only had one camera, but now I promise you to donate four of the best cameras to the crew of "Journey to the West", and they will be in place within half a month, because they will be ordered abroad! ”

"Wow" Everyone applauded warmly, Yang Jie took the lead and laughed: "That's great, two or three cameras shoot at the same time, which greatly increases efficiency, and another camera is kept for backup." It seems that when we shot this year, the picture effect has improved a lot! ”

Lin Qiangsheng turned his head and said to Director Wang Feng: "o Ten thousand dollars can be signed now, and it will be received in two days!" ”

Wang Feng immediately said: "When the time comes, we will hold a grand acceptance ceremony and invite some important leading comrades to participate!"

He then said to Yang Jie: "Director Yang, you come here, let's discuss the specific matters with Mr. Lin!" ”

"Okay, the sooner the money arrives, the better!" Yang Jie said happily that she would be able to prepare for the 86-year filming plan as soon as possible when the funds were in place, and the appearance of Lin Qiangsheng solved the big problem of the crew.

And Lin Qiangsheng did have an unusual enthusiasm for "Journey to the West", and immediately called back to the company and asked Mu Qing to prepare a sum of 10,000 US dollars and deposit it in the Bank of China in Hong Kong.

When he took the check in person, Wang Feng smiled and said a few good words again and again: "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect that my station received a sponsorship today, and it was still in dollars!" He called the finance department again, and the finance department of the central station immediately sent someone over to receive the check.

Lin Qiangsheng said to Yang Jie: "Four professional cameras have to be ordered in Japan, and their camera technology is the most advanced in the world, and it will take about two weeks to arrive." Director Yang, what equipment do you still lack, just say it now, I will definitely help, and by the way, we will purchase it abroad! ”

Yang Jie thought for a while: "The most important equipment for filming TV series is the camera, and we have the rest of the props." ”

"Oh, yes!" She thought about it all of a sudden, and said to Lin Qiangsheng: "If it is convenient for Mr. Lin, it is best to buy some foreign advanced film and television drama makeup special foam latex, this is very important!" ”

Yang Jie said: "Our actors have to wear thick masks, and now they are using a kind of vulcanized latex, which is attached to their faces, and the actors are very hard, and they need to wear masks for a day of shooting. Vulcanized latex has long been outdated in the foreign film and television industry, not only the effect is hard, the face is stiff, but also not breathable, and the actors are sweating profusely after a scene, which is quite hard! The biggest advantage of foreign foam latex is that it has good breathability, and the actor will feel much more comfortable after wearing a mask and makeup! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "Okay, I know this, foam latex for film and television makeup!" ”

He said to Yang Jie and Wang Feng with some sighs: "The actors of "Journey to the West", including the actors of many TV series now, as well as the behind-the-scenes workers, are very serious and dedicated to their work. I admire this very much, you treat every episode of the TV series as art to shoot, this is very good, we can't treat the TV series as a product on the assembly line, let it lose its artistry, treat the TV series like a movie, and have a bit of pursuit!
