In fact, the shooting techniques of the two-part Journey to the West are very different from ordinary movies, and of course, the biggest problem is that the timeline in the movie is also different from the general movie script.

Normally, the timeline of a movie is filmed down according to the normal time period, and at most, it is to add some memories of the past of the leading actor in the whole process, and add some fragments of memories.

But the timeline of the two-part Journey to the West was the duel between Guanyin and Sun Wukong five hundred years ago, and then Tang Sanzang saved Sun Wukong with his life.

At this time, Guanyin Xiao Ran insisted on using the original "Journey to the West" version of Guanyin, because the heroine who played Guanyin in the "Journey to the West" TV series that was also filmed in this world was the most popular actress at that time.

At the same time, she was also the first Best Actress of the Huaxia Golden Dragon Awards, and after playing the role of Guanyin in the TV series, she withdrew from the film and television industry, and finally made a cameo appearance in Xiao Ran's new play again at the invitation of Xiao Ran.

And the reason why Xiao Ran insisted on it was also because she had seen the version of Guanyin she filmed, and she did play it very well, so Xiao Ran firmly believed that in the minds of many audiences, this actress was the representative actor of Guanyin, so Xiao Ran was reluctant to replace other actresses.

And the plot after that is that it all happened five hundred years later, Sun Wukong was reincarnated as the supreme treasure of the bandit leader, and the story of the spider spirit, the white bone spirit and the bull demon king, and finally got the moonlight treasure box in the Pansi Cave.

So in the end, in the decisive battle with the Bull Demon King, the moonlight treasure box malfunctioned, and the Supreme Treasure couldn't save Bai Jingjing and Chun Thirty Niang, but went back to five hundred years ago and met the Zixia Fairy who gave him three moles. has changed back into Monkey King!

Such a plot line is positioned after the first meeting between the Supreme Treasure played by Xiao Ran and the Zixia Fairy played by Tang Yun, the first part of Journey to the West has temporarily ended. At this time, Xiao Ran planned to release this movie first and then start filming the second part.

……

After the shooting. In Huaxia Film and Television City.

At this moment, after Sanmao, Liu Kui, Tang Yun, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Ran finished their day's filming work, they returned to Xiao Jiaban's house in the film and television city.

"Xiao Ran, I just appeared, why is this drama over?"

Tang Yun asked a little strangely, although she also went to the crew to visit the class before, she was not there all the time, until today, when Xiao Ran notified her of her role, Tang Yun was always very puzzled.

Normally, Tang Yun's popularity is so high now, if he goes to shoot a movie. Naturally, she played the heroine, but the movie has been filmed for thirteen days, and Tang Yun, the heroine, has only received a notice for the first time, and after filming the meeting scene with the male lead, it was announced that the filming has been completed?

This made Tang Yun really puzzled.

Xiao Ran replied: "This drama has two most important timelines, five hundred years ago and five hundred years later, the first part is mainly filmed five hundred years later, so Bai Jingjing played by Lin Qingqing is the first heroine, and your role is mainly five hundred years ago in the second part!" ”

At this time, Sanmao also suddenly realized: "No wonder I have been feeling very strange after the whole movie was filmed." I always feel that after Bai Jingjing and Chun Thirty Niang fought the Bull Demon King, the Zixia Fairy suddenly turned around, and some don't know why, it turned out to be divided into two parts to shoot! ”

Liu Kui is the director of the whole play. He had already obtained the script and the storyboard drawn by Xiao Ran, so his thinking was still relatively clear, and he also replied at this time: "Of course, it is divided into two." Otherwise, how can we need to invest 120 million? ”

"120 million?"

Hearing this number, Xiao Xiao and Sanmao both gasped, during this time, as the leading actors of the first part of Journey to the West, they basically stayed in the crew and spent more time filming. I didn't have time to notice the news from the outside world, after hearing this number at this time. They all felt a little crazy about Xiao Ran!

"Brother, as for investing so much? What if the movie doesn't do well at the box office after its release? ”

Xiao Xiao's expression was very flustered after hearing this, although she knew that Xiao Ran's net worth was at least more than 300 million now, but even so, 120 million was still not a small amount.

Moreover, in the history of Chinese films, there has never been a successful film of this type, and the entire Chinese film industry has been in the doldrums for too many years, and it has been rare to hear of a movie that has exceeded 100 million at the box office since Xiao Xiao can remember!

Although this number was broken by Xiao Ran repeatedly, they all used other types of movies, so whether this new type of movie interpreting "Journey to the West" can maintain this momentum, Xiao Xiao felt a little cold sweat for his brother.

And Sanmao also persuaded him: "Xiao Ran, I think your approach is too risky, the third senior brother has been in the film industry for ten years, and I haven't heard that a successful movie is divided into upper and lower episodes to shoot, if you don't buy it, the loss is not a small amount, and it is also a damage to your reputation, why should you take such a risk!" ”

Sanmao's words are not unreasonable, with the situation at Xiao Ran's scene, in fact, we should cherish the feathers even more, and make as many kung fu movies or related movies as possible to ensure the box office, even if you want to innovate, you should invest in a small-budget movie like "The Best Friend", it is so big all of a sudden, it is easy to hold it and the higher it hurts!

Sanmao has naturally been mixed in the film industry for many years, and knows that this circle is with red and white, if you are popular, no matter how exaggerated words of appreciation can be said and praised, but once a movie with a big investment hits the street, someone suddenly jumps out and says that this guy is no longer good, and Jiang Lang has already exhausted......

There are countless cases like this, which is why Sanmao is so worried about Xiao Ran.

But Xiao Ran himself is very leisurely, although the two movies in his previous life failed to make any money in the end, but they will not lose money, and how many people who like Xing Ye cherish these two movies?

For this alone, as a fan of Xingye, Xiao Ran felt that he should shoot it!

In the entire Xiao family's class, everyone was worried about the release of Xiao Ran's new movie, but Xiao Ran himself looked indifferent.

However, the mentality can not matter, but when it was really released, Xiao Ran was very serious about publicity, although Xiao Ran had some absolute confidence in this movie, but he still hoped that more people could enter the cinema to watch it through publicity.

First of all, a few days before the movie was released, Xiao Ran released the soundtrack from the movie on Tianlai.com and Honglangmeager on it, and the most classic soundtracks in it!

After obtaining three moles, the Supreme Treasure learned that he had become the Monkey King.

Tang Sanzang sang the ONLY_YOU when he persuaded Sun Wukong.

When the Zixia Fairy died, the lonely shadow of heaven and earth sounded at my disposal.

At the end, Sun Wukong was lonely on the road when "The Love of My Life".

In Xiao Ran's opinion, these are extremely classic soundtracks, and they are also an important factor supporting the two-part Journey to the West, so he released it in advance, so that the audience who are wavering about whether to enter the theater to watch it can be moved by the soundtrack and firm.

The soundtrack that was released soon immediately triggered a frenzy of downloads and reprints, because this time the download Xiao Ran settings are all free, so it's crazy!

In addition to the soundtrack, Xiao Ran also released a trailer in advance, in addition to intercepting the classic clips in the movie, he also intercepted the dialogue that Xiao Ran thought was the most classic in the movie.

"My crush is a hero of the world, one day he will step on the seven-colored clouds to marry me, I only guessed the front, but I can't guess the ending......"

"That guy looks so weird, I saw it too, he looks like a dog!"

"There was once a sincere feeling in front of me that I didn't cherish, and I regretted it when I lost it, the most painful thing in the world is this, your sword stabbed me in the throat, don't hesitate! If God could give me a chance to do it all over again, I would say three words to any girl: I love you, and if I had to add a deadline to this love, I hope it would be 10,000 years! ”

……

Such lines combined with the plot in the movie became tear gas, and soon the trailer of Journey to the West was called the strongest trailer in history.

In addition to releasing the soundtrack and trailer of the original movie, Xiao Ran also sold advertisements in major popular newspapers and magazines and four major online portals, and paid nearly 10 million advertising fees in this regard alone.

and interviews on major TVs, although this aspect is affected by Xiao Ran's great fame, so there is no need to pay any money.

In addition to the main creators of the play, he also invited many popular stars to perform on the spot, especially the four mentors of The Voice of China also appeared on the spot.

Because in the Journey to the West two-part series, the four mentors of The Voice of China also made cameo performances, Han Lei was busy with concert tours, so he could only spare half a day to make a cameo appearance in one of the role of bandits, and Zhang You made a cameo appearance in Bodhi Ancestor, and Xiao Ran's mentor Dou Cui appeared in the movie for the first time, and made a cameo appearance as the first villain Bull Demon King!

As for Wei Na, she made a cameo appearance as Princess Iron Fan, the wife of the Bull Demon King, and she was good friends with Sun Wukong in the movie!

And although few professionals in the film industry are optimistic about this movie, but now Xiao Ran's popularity is so high, and they really can't use normal standards to judge whether Xiao Ran's new movie will really hit the street, so in the end, many people chose to come to congratulate after receiving the premiere invitation sent by Zhengdong Film Company.
