The script is perfect, the actors are in place, and many special effects can be completed in the later stage, so the shooting speed of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very fast, especially many shots are firmly engraved in Xiao Ran's mind, so as long as the actors cooperate, it is simply a god-like speed in shooting!

So in just 12 days, the whole "A Chinese Ghost Story" has been filmed, and the so-called film is the shooting content that has not been processed by special effects and soundtrack.

As for the soundtrack, Xiao Ran also recorded the relevant soundtrack and theme song by himself, handed it over to the post-processing staff, and did it together with special effects, probably in less than a month in total, "A Chinese Ghost Story" can be released!

It shows how fast Xiao Ran's shooting speed is!

Originally, the most difficult problem to deal with in the previous life was the special effects of the movie, because the special effects at that time were very expensive and not easy to do, that is, a science man like Xu Laowei, who suffered a big loss after spending a lot of money to shoot "Shushan", also had a fear of movie special effects.

So when filming "A Chinese Ghost Story", when I filmed the plot of the tree demon grandma, I replaced it with a dyed long sponge, and then used manpower to rely on technology such as Weiya to pull the tongue of this grandma, which became the first tentacle monster in the history of the movie......

However, now because the special effects skills have matured, the shooting of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very simple, and many effects can be processed in post-production.

……

Shaw Entertainment Company, Shaw Ran Office.

"Xiao Ran, the box office performance of "Storm and Clouds" is so good, why don't you just make a sequel?"

In the office, Lei Xiaolong was a little puzzled by Xiao Ran's approach. Because Xiao Ran did not plan to start filming the second part of "Storm and Storm" immediately after the box office hit of "Storm and Storm". and started filming "A Chinese Ghost Story" first.

What makes Lei Xiaolong a little puzzled is that after Xiao Ran finished filming "A Chinese Ghost Story" next, he doesn't seem to plan to continue filming the second part of "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World". Instead, let yourself come to his office to talk about the new play!

Why didn't Xiao Ran just shoot the second part of the "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" series while the iron was hot, Lei Xiaolong, as a simple actor, naturally didn't understand!

The main reason is that Xiao Ran needs to stop and study the script, because in the Fengyun four-part trilogy that is now being filmed, the only thing Xiao Ran has read and is satisfied with is the first part of Fengyun in his previous life, and the other three must be completed by Xiao Ran himself......

Moreover, I also hope to take advantage of this gap to allow more people to have the opportunity to see the first part of "Storm and Storm", so that more people can be willing to buy tickets to enter and continue to watch the next three parts in the future!

Because from the box office, although "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" finally had many viewers buy Xiao Ran's account and enter the cinema to watch it. In the end, there has been a box office of 1.5 billion so far, and there is no problem with at least exceeding 2 billion by the time the next painting is made!

But don't forget, the movie "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" is in time for the prime time of the Chinese New Year, which is the best schedule of the year, but the box office is higher than that of "The Gambler", which is a few percent worse than the previous "True Colors of Heroes", which means that there are still many audiences who have a wait-and-see attitude towards this kind of special effects movie!

And Xiao Ran extended the front, hoping that the audience who did not enter the cinema to watch "The Storm and the World" in the end could see the double harvest of box office and word-of-mouth. Spend a few bucks on online video sites to watch this movie, so that by the time the second part of "Storm and Storm" is released, maybe these people will be potential movie theater audiences!

Therefore, it is better to extend the sequel movie to half a year later before it is released, which is a general guideline in the film industry. Even the directors who make movies fast will arrange their movies to be released in this way......

Of course, Lei Xiaolong, who is usually just an actor and is not a director and investor, doesn't care about this issue, so he naturally feels that it is irrational for Xiao Ran not to take advantage of the box office success of "Storm and Clouds to Dominate the World" to start filming a sequel.

But under Xiao Ran's explanation. Lei Xiaolong quickly understood Xiao Ran's thoughts: "What do you mean is that the purpose of extending the front is to wait until the second movie is released, so that more audiences can watch the first part through various channels." So that you have the desire to go to the cinema? I haven't thought about this before, so it's no wonder that many sequels to popular movies are basically filmed after more than half a year......"

Lei Xiaolong's statement is actually a bit biased. At present, in the film industry, Xiao Ran's team can make the movie fast and well, because Xiao Ran's team can first arrange the best actors and scripts, and secondly, the funds are also very sufficient, which also reduces unnecessary shortage of funds and various schedule conflicts and imperfect scripts in the whole filming process.

At present, in addition to Xiao Ran's team, the filming speed of the entire film industry is okay, and other directors sometimes can't make a complete movie in half a year......

"Then what else do you plan to do next, Xiao Ran?"

Lei Xiaolong asked deliberately, of course he knew very well that Xiao Ran was specially receiving him in the office today, and he must have been lucky on behalf of himself, starting from the harlequin, although Lei Xiaolong is not advantageous in appearance, he has been working hard all along, he can accept all kinds of roles, and he has been honing for a long time in the game variety show "Super Invincible Prize Doorman".

Now Lei Xiaolong's personality is becoming more and more wise and humorous, and for this reason, he has also accumulated a group of viewers who support him, although when it comes to fame, he is still the smallest in the entire Xiao family's class, but at least it is much better than before!

This time, Xiao Ran is indeed ready to give Lei Xiaolong a chance, a role tailored for him!

But this time it's not a movie, it's a TV series!

Xiao Ran took out the script of the TV series and handed it to Lei Xiaolong: "Second Senior Brother, I plan to shoot a TV series by myself, and the actor will be handed over to you to play, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Ran has been a director for a while, but all the movies he has made are movies, and this time he actually took the initiative to make a TV series, and this gimmick alone can make many fans crazy to watch it.

Coupled with the scripts written by Xiao Ran, they are all classics among the classics, such as the two business war dramas "The Great Era" and "The Century", as well as the two martial arts dramas "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Liancheng Jue", and even the funny "Family with Children" and "Wulin Gaiden" have good ratings!

So if Xiao Ran is really willing to shoot a TV series by himself, even if Lei Xiaolong no longer has confidence in himself, he believes that he can have a chance to become popular!

Because Xiao Ran can basically be called a super Bole, there is no one who is not popular in his fancy, Lei Xiaolong's eldest brother Lei Xiaohu has always been half-red and not black before, but after Xiao Ran tailored the role of a little brother for him, he immediately became popular all over the world and became an international star, which shows Xiao Ran's strong ability to create gods!

Lei Xiaolong slowly picked up the script with a trembling hand and flipped through the first page: ""Women and Heroes"? ”

After seeing the name of this TV series, Lei Xiaolong was a little surprised, with his limited cultural level, he can still see a trace of extraordinaryness from this title!

First of all, judging from the title of the film, if it is the starring role, then it means that Lei Xiaolong will play a heroic character, and this character setting makes Lei Xiaolong himself doubt: Can I play a good hero?

Secondly, in the title of the four-word "Women and Heroes", the word "women" is in front, which means that there is a woman who does not let her eyebrows be shaved before Lei Xiaolong's hero!

In other words, this drama is not only a man's play, but the play of female characters is also very important!

Xiao Ran has indicated the lineup of the main actors in the script, Lei Xiaolong plays the male protagonist Chai Jiu, Guo Bili plays the heroine Kang Baoqi, the main background of this TV series is in the late Qing Dynasty, when there was continuous famine in various places, the court was turbulent, there were foreigners oppressing, and there was an uprising of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in China, which can be said to be a mighty era!

And the main characters of the TV series are the story of Kang Baoqi and Chai Jiu, Chai Jiu is a really humble little person, just like Lei Xiaolong in real life!

There are two main main lines of the TV series, one of the most important of which is Chai Jiu, he is an orphan in a small mountain village, adopted and raised by the village aunt and four mothers-in-law, and because of famine one year, Chai Jiu came to Wuxi in order to survive, but the process of the little people entering the city is tragic.

Because of the famine stole the rich man's dog, Chai Jiu was punished by the boss of the local Qing Gang, asking him to run in circles on the street with dog bones in his mouth, Chai Jiu had to endure this shame for his life, and later in order to make a living, he was recruited by the unscrupulous young master of the Jiang family, a local rice giant, to become a worker of the Jiang family, but in order to defeat other applicants, and in order to survive, he volunteered to become a worker with food and no work......

In other words, Chai Jiu can only meet the basic requirements of three meals and one night in the Jiang family, but he has no salary!

And it was such a low-level start, Chai Jiu relied on his cleverness and tenacious character, he slowly found an opportunity, first of all, he found out the real murderer of the second young master of the Jiang family who was kidnapped and made meritorious contributions, and was valued by Kang Baoqi, the fourth grandmother of the Jiang family, and began to gradually get paid.

Then because of the discovery of the dispute between the Jiang family and the Qing Gang on transporting rice by sea, Chai Jiu proposed to Jiang Qiao, the master of the Jiang family, to transport rice by land, and on the way encountered the thief who was arranged by Peng Keng, the opponent of the Qing Gang, to rob the grain.

Then Chai Jiu was framed by Jiang Biwen, the eldest young master of the Jiang family, who had a grudge against him, because of his greed for flowers, and was chased and killed by the Qing Gang, and his life was saved by the fourth grandmother Kang Baoqi, and then the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebel army entered Wuxi, and Chai Jiushun became the head of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's regimental training in Wuxi, and became a well-known figure in the local area......

PS: I personally highly recommend the movie "Women and Heroes", Chai Jiu in it is the most touching character in the TV series I have personally seen, because he is real and never give up! (To be continued......)
