It can be seen from the cast this time that Xiao Ran is determined to make a series of movies with a big production.

And although "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" can also be regarded as a martial arts movie, the cost of filming is much higher than the previous "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Undefeated in the East" and "Huang Feihong" series.

Because the previous martial arts movies were basically fist and foot kung fu, plus swords and wires assisted, it can be regarded as a fighting form that is more foreign kung fu, easier to shoot, and the cost is also low.

But the "Storm and Clouds" series is a high-martial arts movie, and the fights in it are windswept and windy, landslides and ground cracks, and sea water flooding, so certain post-production special effects need to be used.

Therefore, the cast alone cost Xiao Ran no less than 80 million salary budget, because although many big-name stars here are cameos, they also receive friendship prices, and there are even those who mainly propose not to pay.

But Xiao Ran still follows the rules of the industry, and he must give enough as much as he wants, because Xiao Ran doesn't want to owe favors, otherwise it will be even more troublesome if he pays it back!

Moreover, in addition to the actors' salaries, many special effects required for the movie are also very expensive, so the initial budget will definitely not be less than 150 million, which is still a preliminary budget, and I believe there will be more when it comes to filming......

This can be regarded as the movie with the highest shooting budget among all Xiao Ran's movies, the original "East Evil and West Poison" was delayed by Wang Wei for so long, wasting so much time and money, but the final shooting cost is far less than the first part of "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" this time!

Because Xiao Ran plans to make the entire comic of "Fengyun" into a movie series, if the first part is not done well, where will the audience be interested in watching the next three?

And this film series. Xiao Ran is going to use it to fight against Hollywood's superhero series, and Xiao Ran has always felt that Chinese filmmakers are not suitable for filming that kind of Hollywood superhero film.

Because in our traditions. Saving the world and hoeing the strong and helping the weak are all knights in white with swords. And not some Spider-Man, Bat-Man, or Iron Ultimate......

Therefore, Xiao Ran is unwilling to lose such a tradition, he always feels that it is more reliable to use advanced special effects to shoot the Chinese people's own martial arts than to imitate other people's superheroes!

In fact, in his previous life, Xiao Ran's favorite and most talented film director Xu Laowei once used the skills he learned from the Hollywood special effects team to make two movies based on "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" by the owner of Huanzhu Mansion.

But because he was too obsessed with the special effects of the movie at that time, there were big loopholes in the director's script, but it was also a very courageous attempt.

And Xiao Ran always felt that if he shot a Xianxia movie, one was that the cost was too great. The other is that it is more difficult to spread, let alone foreigners, and even our own Chinese people may not have read and understand Xianxia novels!

For example, in his previous life, Xiao Ran was considered to be promoting superstition because he explained that an immortal can not eat and only drink water, but they have never been able to understand it, even if this statement is unreliable, but at least it represents a kind of imagination of Chinese literati!

And this is also the reason why Xiao Ran is willing to choose Gaowu comics to change them into movies, one is that the spread of martial arts is higher. The audience's acceptance of Cheng dù is also higher, and the special effects that can be used in Gao Wu's movies are also more reliable and shocking!

If the shooting of a fantasy novel becomes a movie, if the fight scenes that come out are ruined at every turn. The sea pours in, destroying a city and devouring a planet. The sun is shining, and the words of a thousand colors are rui. One is that the special effects shown above will not be too shocking, and the other is that most viewers will not be able to accept it......

This is also the reason why Xiao Ran chose to shoot "The Storm and the Clouds Dominate the World". In the previous life, whether it was "Storm and Clouds" or "Crazy Boy" series of movies, they were all adapted into movies after they had the popularity of comics serialized for many years, so the popularity has always been very high!

But in this world, Xiao Ran directly wrote and asked Red Star Film Company to make the first two movies of "Crazy Boy", and only then did he start serializing comics, and many plots had to be corrected according to the plot in the movie, and many of the characters' branch lines were also modified, but the comic version of "Crazy Boy" was even more popular!

And this is also the reason why Xiao Ran is preparing to shoot the movie version of "Storm and Storm Dominates the World", now the comic version of "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" has just begun to be serialized, although the popularity is not bad, and it can also rank in the top 20 on the website, but compared with Xiao Ran's other popular comics, there is still a certain gap!

Therefore, Xiao Ran plans to use the case of the "Crazy Boy" series to have movies and then comics, and first launch the comic version of "Storm and Storm", but at the same time, he also began to shoot the movie version of "Storm and Storm", it can be predicted that by the time the movie version is released, it is estimated that the comic version of "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" has not yet drawn the plot of the step-by-step and broken arm......

At that time, there were already many readers who went to watch comics because of movies, and it was also able to drive some new readers who usually only watched movies, but didn't read comics!

It can be said that Xiao Ran is actually using his popularity to overdraft the movie version of "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", and is ready to use this to forcibly support the popularity of the comic version, and then drive the traffic of Tianxuan Animation website, and it seems that only a man like Xiao Ran, who is now the youngest godfather in the entertainment industry, can have such ability and courage!

……

The land of Sichuan and Shu, Lingyun Buddha!

Lingyun Giant Buddha Scenic Area is a very famous tourist attraction in the whole China, belonging to the 5A-level tourist attraction, which was successfully built in the Tang Dynasty and lasted for 90 years.

In the tourist area where the Big Buddha is located, there are many police officers at the scene to maintain order, and warning signs have been placed to restrict the passage of tourists and vehicles, and cameras and light groups have also been set up at the scene.

A middle-aged man in a police uniform kept giving orders with a walkie-talkie, and then said to Xiao Ran's bodyguard: "You inform Mr. Kang, now you can start the filming of the movie, but please try to speed up the shooting, you know that this is a tourist attraction, if the lockdown is too long, tourists will have opinions......"

After Xiao Ran went through a previous kidnapping, there are now four more bodyguards wearing sunglasses around him, one of the four is a retired dragon and tiger martial artist in Xiao Ran's team, the other is a senior apprentice of his father's elders, a famous figure in Nanyue Cai Li Fo, and two are retired special forces introduced by the Wang family to join Xiao Ran's security company.

The four of them are basically not under Xiao Ran, and with the escort of these four people, ordinary people can't beat Xiao Ran's idea at all now.

In the middle of January, Xiao Ran carried out the filming of "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", and led the team to Sichuan and Shu at the end of the month, in order to shoot the plot of the Lingyun Giant Buddha in the movie, which tells the story of Nie Feng's family when he was young.

"The first time in the third shot of the twelfth scene of "Storm and Storm Dominates the World", Ikesh!"

The scene where Xiao Ran filmed immediately started with King Nie Ren's back and young Nie Feng.

"Flood the Buddha's knees and burn the Lingyun Cave! Dad, what do these two sentences mean? ”

The young actor who played the childhood Nie Feng was specially found by Xiao Ran in the land of Sichuan and Shu, and his appearance was biased towards the general appearance of the Shu people, but in the face of his son's inquiry, the famous actor Fang Yunxun, who played the guest role of Nie Renwang, replied to his son: "The water level here is uncertain, and it is said that if the water level covers the knees of the Buddha, the Lingyun Cave on the mountain will catch fire and burn itself......"

The young Nie Feng missed his mother very much, but his mother Yan Ying was snatched away by Xiongba, so as soon as he mentioned Nie Feng's mother, Nie Renwang's eyes immediately became very terrifying: "Promise Dad, don't mention your mother in front of me in the future, all women are not good things." ”

It turned out that two years ago, King Nie Renwang was defeated by Xiongba, so his wife was taken away by Xiongba, and the two agreed to fight again in two years.

The battlefield is on top of the Lingyun Giant Buddha, the movie looks very cool, but the actual filming process is very hard, Fang Yunxun, who plays the king of Nie Ren, and Xu Zhenxiong, who plays the role of Xiongba, need to tie up the coercion, and the sword duel on the Lingyun Buddha, one person holds the Huolin sword, and the other holds the snow drinking knife, and finally because his wife Yan Ying committed suicide, the king of Nie Ren was distracted and fell into the Lingyun Cave, and died in the mouth of the divine beast Fire Qilin.

Of course, there is definitely no fire unicorn in the actual shooting, Fang Yunxun needs to perform this feeling, and then wait for the post-production special effects to be synthesized......

In addition to this duel scene, there are other scenes in the Lingyun Giant Buddha, there is a scene where Nie Feng and Qin Shuang crossed the river with the mud bodhisattva and passed by the Lingyun Giant Buddha, and mentioned the sacred object in the Lingyun Cave, the blood Bodhi, and from the dialogue between Nie Feng and the mud bodhisattva, it also proves that Xiongba has been deceiving him since he adopted Nie Feng.

Xiongba killed Nie Feng's parents, but he said that he was Nie Feng and was saved by himself, and the person who dueled with Nie Renwang was also fabricated by Xiongbasheng to create a Nanlin sword head!

Although the mud bodhisattva knew that Xiongba was the real culprit who killed Nie Feng's parents, he still didn't confess to Nie Feng, he saved Nie Feng's life by criticizing the wind and clouds, and let the superstitious Xiongba accept Nie Feng as an apprentice for the sake of being invincible, so he knew that Nie Feng couldn't deal with Xiongba at this moment, so the mud bodhisattva didn't want him to die, so he hid it from him for the time being, but the mud bodhisattva knew that his limit was approaching, so in the decision not to tell Nie Feng the truth, the mud bodhisattva seemed a little entangled!

In this work, the mud bodhisattva is an absolute miracle, so he can calculate that he will be unable to protect himself after setting foot in the world again, so the mud bodhisattva even hopes that Qin Shuang and Nie Feng will help the girl he adopted find another family! (To be continued......)
