With an initial investment of 30 million, a new zombie movie was made.

This is the first film to be shot independently after the establishment of Xingyi City, and it did not cooperate with Struggle Film Company.

Xiao Ran, the director and action director of this movie, was handed over to Wu Zhengying, and for this reason, Xiao Ranguang has been talking to the fifth senior brother for a few days and nights in terms of filming and action design.

Although Wu Zhengying has not served as a director, he has been shooting movies for many years, and I believe that there is not much problem in operation, so Xiao Ran also asked the newly dug Wang Wei to serve as an assistant director in this movie.

Wang Wei's main job is to assist the fifth senior brother Wu Zhengying in the filming, because Xiao Ran is very optimistic about Wang Wei's ability to grasp the camera and train the actors, just because he has the biggest problem when making movies.

That is, he completely treats money as a bastard, spending money like running water, often after a long shot is filmed, all the actors' tables are in place, but as soon as he thinks of something new, he immediately discards it, and insisting on it is a waste to the extreme.

So now Xiao Ran loves and fears Wang Wei, on the one hand, Xiao Ran appreciates his talent, and he also needs him to help train Xiao Ran's own team, but on the other hand, Xiao Ran is afraid of giving him too many rights, and the director began to burn a lot of money in order to make his ideal movie.

In the end, Xiao Ran's worries were superfluous, because in the eyes of a literary and artistic young director like Wang Wei, supernatural zombie films were not his ideal movies at all, and there was also a point that Xiao Ran restricted his rights and asked Wu Zhengying to contain his rights in the crew.

And after he was disliked by the entire film industry because of the last movie, Wang Wei began to be a little afraid, so now he begins to choose to do his job well, in order to gain more trust from Xiao Ran.

Everyone can see that although the main funds and support of Xingyi City come from Yida Group, Xiao Ran is the only leader in the entire film company.

Although Yida Group's attitude is not optimistic about supernatural zombie movies, as long as Xiao Ran has a script, he still approves the investment budget, of course, even if they don't approve it, Xiao Ran, who is now worth more than 100 million, also has the original funds to shoot his own movie.

As long as anyone who has been in the film industry understands that kung fu and martial arts movies are now popular, as the largest cinema party, the films invested by Yida Group naturally hope to go in this genre and direction, but Xiao Ran proposed to shoot a supernatural zombie movie.

So it's very normal to not be favored, because that's the rule of the film industry.

Don't look at a "Smiling Proud Jianghu" that made Xiao Ran an instant hit and became a hot god-level screenwriter in the industry, but if Xiao Ran took the liberty of filming two or three movies and began to lose money or was not well received, he would immediately disappear from everyone!

This is the cruel reality in this circle, now Xiao Ran's film road is actually just beginning, he needs a number of different types of movies box office or word of mouth to prove his ability and talent, so that he can slowly get a status like Xu Guangwen in the film industry!

……

"Mr. Zombie" is the supernatural movie with the highest box office and the best reputation among all zombie movies in Xiao Ran's previous life, which is enough for Xiao Ran to choose this movie to be filmed by Wu Zhengying, and Xiao Ran also believes that this drama will definitely make him popular.

In this movie, the fifth senior brother Wu Zhengying plays the ninth uncle of Maoshan Taoist, at the invitation of the rich and noble man Ren, he looked at feng shui and the ancestral tomb for him, and found that this tomb was actually a dragonfly water hole, and the body of the old lady showed no signs of decay, so it had to be buried in a coffin after 20 years, but in the end, after the coffin was moved to Yizhuang, the old lady Ren became a zombie.

So Uncle Nine took two apprentices, Wencai and Qiusheng stayed in Ren's Mansion together to protect Miss Ren, during which the two apprentices had a dispute with her cousin because of their admiration for Miss Ren, one night Wencai was injured by a zombie in order to protect Miss Ren, was poisoned by a corpse, and slowly became a zombie, fortunately, eating glutinous rice can detoxify the corpse, but because of buying the wrong heterozygous rice, it is ineffective to eat.

On the other hand, Qiusheng was fascinated by the female ghost Xiaoyu again, but fortunately he was discovered by the master Uncle Jiu, saved him, and saved Wencai with glutinous rice porridge, but the zombies continued to kill people one after another, and finally the ninth uncle took two apprentices to eliminate the zombies!

In this "Mr. Zombie", the setting of the plot is actually not much ups and downs, but the arrangement of many details shows the skill of the screenwriter, especially the setting of eating glutinous rice to detoxify the corpse and stopping to breathe to avoid zombies, which have been imitated by many zombie movies that have followed the trend later!

At this moment, in addition to letting Wu Zhengying play the role of the ninth uncle, the role of the two apprentices, the role of Wencai was given to the sixth senior brother Yuan Biao, and the role of Qiusheng was given to the seventh senior brother Yaoyang, as for the other two roles that are more outstanding in the movie, the role of the cheap man of the security captain was handed over to the second senior brother Lei Xiaolong, and the role of the four-eyed Taoist was handed over to the fourth senior brother Liu Kui.

The other roles in the movie were handed over to the newly recruited professional actors in Xingyi City, these people have been in the film industry for many years, but they have always played various green roles.

Although the fame is not very large, some green leaf actors may only be recognized by the audience, and may not be able to say their names, but when it comes to acting, it is absolutely in place to have been up and down in this circle for so many years.

……

In his previous life, Xiao Ran, as a child who grew up watching Hong Kong films, had the most unique love complex for zombie movies, and in his heart, the status of Uncle Jiu's zombie movies was as classic as Xing Ye's comedy movies, Fa Ge's shootouts and gambling films, and the biographical movies of the Mai brothers!

Therefore, Xiao Ran, the first movie of Xingyi City, which he founded, did not choose martial arts kung fu movies on a steady route, but prepared to shoot supernatural zombie movies that were not favored, and all of them were newcomers!

In this movie, Xiao Ran did not choose to invite several big names in the film industry to make cameos or play supporting roles like the two Wing Chun movies co-produced with Struggle Film Company, but all of them are newcomers from Xiao Jiaban, and Wu Zhengying is completely in charge!

Although Xiao Ran was regarded as a god-level screenwriter by the entire film industry at this time, and the first-class actors with his current fame were willing to make cameos in his movies, Xiao Ran didn't want to do this, the filming of "Mr. Zombie" used the most suitable actors, Xiao Ran was ready to win with a good script and plot, and was not ready to play the superstar card!
