Chapter 350 The filming and launch of "Evening Ming".

Chen Xi's film will be thought about and considered in many ways.

It is true that many people have questioned the victory of Pingxingguan, but the significance of this ambush war is extraordinary, especially when the Japanese invaders pressed the border, China retreated again and again, and seemed hopeless, the appearance of this glimmer of light had too great an effect on people's hearts.

Therefore, Chen Xi's central idea is to make the film stand from this point, and most of the details of the film will reflect the respective rivalries of that era.

After such a long time of movie copying, Chen Xi himself has learned a lot of things, and the learning ability of the two souls has made his ability to make movies stronger and stronger, but he has never really stepped out of that one.

And Chen Xi now understands what a movie should look like.

In fact, making a movie is like writing a thesis, the topic is very big and sounds very epic, but it is difficult to shoot, it is easy to go astray, and in the end I want to mention everything but nothing is mentioned, and I don't even know what to say throughout the article.

Therefore, even works such as "Star Wars" and "The Lord of the Rings" ultimately have to focus on telling the stories of a few people, after all, the movie has limited space.

So Chen Xi doesn't plan to shoot anything too big, and now is not the kind of national system when filming "Armageddon", so he can't make that kind of magnificent film, in order not to show his timidity at that time, he decided to shoot Pingxingguan.

The era of the great victory of Pingxingguan is a very special era, with thousands of horses together, competition from all sides, blood boiling and the coldness of reality, and the whole of China retreating again and again...... Everything was concentrated at that time. Therefore, this is what is often said from the small to the big.

Of course, one of the big themes that the whole movie really reflects is enough. It doesn't take too much, it's easy to shoot badly, and the reason why many directors can't make movies well is that they want to express too many things, and in the end they can't express anything.

Therefore, what Chen Xi wants to express is the kind of thing that a nation will choose when it reaches a desperate situation, and naturally sing the praises of China in his bones.

And the name of the movie. He wrote "Iron and Blood Pingxingguan", and it is obvious that he can insert something more than just Pingxingguan's victory.

The most important thing for Chen Xi to make historical films is to restore historical facts as much as possible. This is especially true in real battle scenes.

If this is made into an anti-Japanese drama, it will be a shame.

China. He also tried his best to show the gap between the army and the Japanese army, whether it was in terms of nutrition, individual soldier quality, military quality, fighting will, or weaponry...... will be reflected.

The best anti-Japanese war movie in the history of Chinese mainland should be "Blood Battle Taierzhuang", which is not only grandiose. And reflections on the war. The reflection on the nation is very strong, and the movies are basically about the country. From the perspective of the military, the country here. The army is brave and tenacious, but corruption is rampant in the middle, and it is filmed from top to bottom, it is indeed an objective movie.

Chen Xi also wants to do this.

So the script and the like will start to prepare now, and then shoot slowly for a year or two.

On the issue of attracting audiences, Chen Xi plans to take the route of Xu Laowei's "Outwitting Tiger Mountain". It is to use something with a strong ornamental effect to put on this shell, which is to make the movie look better. Rendering emotions can make people feel more uplifting, in fact, this is the YY in the online novel, which is the kind of thing in "Wolf Warrior".

And this kind of whole China is full of horses, the Japanese army is arrogant, and everyone is not optimistic...... As a result, at this time, the great victory of Pingxingguan happened...... This itself also carries a refreshing feeling, of course, this is a drama after all, and there will not be many such things.

Chen Xi's planning and shooting of this movie in his heart actually almost has his own set of theoretical accumulation.

…… Up to now, Chen Xi is also completely busy.

Since "Interstellar", Chen Xi also knows that he needs to rely on himself a lot of time in the future, and the things in his head can't be eaten for a lifetime, which Chen Xi knew and understood a long time ago.

So the next "Late Ming Dynasty" is his first purely self-made work, and the next one is "Iron and Blood Pingguan", of course, this is also a major test for Chen Xi.

The clock is ticking.

The more people know the news of "Evening Ming", the more people look forward to it.

What makes Chen Xi more strange is that now there are overseas filmmakers who have come to Deep Space Film and Television to talk about the overseas copyright of "Late Ming", especially the copyright of this film in North America, and there are really a lot of filmmakers in North America who come to talk about it.

Chen Xi thinks that TV series like "Late Ming" should be unattractive to North American audiences, how many Americans know that China had a Ming Dynasty?

When this web drama was booked by South Korea and Japan, Chen Xi felt that it was nothing, after all, Japan and South Korea naturally have their understanding of Chinese history, although the history of the Ming Dynasty is not as famous as the Three Kingdoms, but there are still some people who are paying attention.

However, in South Korea, if this TV series can achieve the expected effect, it is still good, after all, the stick is a big country in the universe, the northern stick feels that the Korean war is fought by them, the Chinese almost have no role, the south stick is talking about the Ming Dynasty Mingliang naval battle and other wars are all fought by them, the Ming army has no role, this group of people is shameless.

…… The mentality of North America is probably because of Chen Xi's name......

At the moment, Chen Xi said that the plan was ahead, but these people were resolute, so "Evening Ming" surprised the people of Deep Space Film and Television.

In fact, if it weren't for Chen Xi's insistence on making the online drama "Evening Ming", and he was willing to invest purely his own funds in it, many people in Deep Space Film and Television might not agree with this plan.

At that time, although Chen Xi was able to enforce it, these things were indeed not sweet, and Chen Xi also knew that if he forcibly ordered, it would easily backfire.

But the current situation proves that this online drama may not really be a loss...... When "Late Ming" sold a lot of overseas rights, the revenue in this area alone has reached 7 million US dollars, and this is still under negotiation for some copyrights.

In this regard, the cost has been paid for a lot!

Seeing such results, everyone in Deep Space Film and Television has to sigh that Chen Xi is amazing, and now Chinese TV dramas still have some influence in the world, especially in Japan and South Korea, Koreans like martial arts dramas, and Japanese people like historical dramas Gong Dou or something.

"Step by Step" and "The Legend of Harem Zhen Huan" are quite popular in Japan.

In other places, the influence of Chinese TV dramas is much weaker, especially in the United States, which basically does not have much popularity, and the North American version of "The Legend of Harem Zhen Huan" at that time was cut out, and the ratings were also dismal.

But under such circumstances, Chen Xi was able to sell such a high overseas copyright, and this was still in the case that Chen Xi himself had already said ugly things to the filmmakers.

Chen Xi has indeed told them many times that this kind of Chinese historical drama may not be accepted by these filmmakers in their own countries.

But they stuck with it......

…… Now, the investment problem of "Late Ming" has actually been solved a lot, and the previous props and the like have been prepared, and various scenes have been prepared, so this web series has officially been put into filming.

After starting filming, Chen Xi found that there were too many problems in this matter, and it was really difficult to shoot.

Needless to say, the difficulty of martial arts dramas is needless to say, especially to ensure that the fight is good-looking, and the footage when the two armies are facing each other is also quite difficult to shoot.

There are too many things to pay attention to in the confrontation between the two armies, first of all, it is to try to conform to the historical facts, at this point, Chen Xi will not make a hooligan fight in a traditional TV series, but it is impossible to completely make a Roman phalanx like in "Rome", after all, in the era of the late Ming Dynasty, especially the battle of the peasant army, it is basically a crowd tactic, and the really elite old battalions and families on both sides play a decisive role but it is impossible to appear from beginning to end, so the situation of the confrontation must be based on different types of troops to adopt different shooting methods.

Due to financial issues and a lot of practical considerations, the battles in "Late Ming" will only take place in less than half an hour, and this is a season...... But even in this half hour, there are really too many things to shoot, and there are too many things to pay attention to, especially when it comes to the cavalry, it takes a lot of effort.

This is still because there are not too many women involved in the first season for the time being, otherwise it would be even more difficult......

This kind of filming method that restores historical facts as much as possible is really too difficult, not only is this kind of shooting difficult, but also this half-hour film, Chen regrets that they have shot thousands of hours of material, and just such a little thing cost them 20 million!

But it's okay, it's all worth it!

Later, when it came to literary opera, everything was not fine, but there were also such and such problems in literary opera, all kinds of details made people anxious, and they had to control the rhythm......

In short, Chen Xi's "Evening Ming" has exceeded the standard for 9 days, and finally finished filming the first six episodes of the scheduled plan.

And at this time, it was already the beginning of 2015, fortunately, many people's waiting has finally come to an end, and Chen Xi finally filmed the "Evening Ming" in his heart.

These six episodes cost Chen Xi 57 million, which is definitely the most expensive online drama, and all this money is really put in it.

In the Spring Festival of 2015, "Evening Ming" was officially launched on the Deep Space Video website, in anticipation!

With Chen Xi's popularity, the movie has just been launched, and it has been clicked more than 100 million times. (To be continued......)
