Chapter 170: The Pioneer of Law Enforcement

Originally, the fifth senior brother Wu Zhengying's side Xiao Ran was ready to let him shoot "Mr. Zombie 2", but because the script had not been written, it was temporarily shelved.

Because Xiao Ran has not yet made up his mind, in the end, the second part of the "Mr. Zombie" series was filmed with the script of which movie in his previous life, so he has never started writing, because the sequel "Zombie Family" in his previous life Xiao Ran has the impression that although the box office performance is not bad, the actual production level and plot are not as good as the first one.

In addition to "Huang Feihong: Lingyun Ambition", there is still a script for a police drama left, anyway, there are very few police movies in this world, so Xiao Ran is also happy to be an innovative pioneer.

The name of this police movie that started filming in the Wong Fei Hung series is "Law Enforcement Pioneer".

The movie tells the story of a young prosecutor Xia Lingzheng who took over an important case, that is, to prosecute the two major drug lords Wei Cheng and Zhou Dingguang, and has successfully persuaded the witness Liang Ersheng to go to court, but the result is that the night before Liang Ersheng's family of eight people were killed by the drug lords, Xia Lingzheng felt that the law had become a tool for exoneration in the hands of the wicked, so he became a judge of hell and enforced the law privately, starting with the assassination of Wei Cheng......

The protagonist in this movie, Xia Lingzheng, is naturally the sixth senior brother Yuan Biao to star, from the previous movies, Xiao Ran saw that the temperament of the sixth senior brother Yuan Biao is too upright, so the persuasiveness of playing many roles is always not strong, so he tailor-made this role for him.

And the foreign woman in the movie was also invited by Xingyi City Film Company from abroad to play a first-class female star, as for the role of the sloppy policeman who was killed in the movie. The second senior brother Lei Xiaolong is in charge.

Wu Zhengying, the fifth senior brother who has not yet started filming a new drama, continued to give full play to his advantages of youth and old appearance and made more special makeup. plays Lei Xiaolong's father in the play.

Now the crew has taken a plane to shoot the first scene, because the first scene is the location, the location is at the gate of the British courthouse, Xia Ling is studying law in British Britain just after graduating and preparing to return to Xiangjiang, his professor is also facing a case prosecution, so he was assassinated by a criminal, Xia Ling is robbing the other party's gun. Drive in pursuit, and eventually kill the criminal.

This scene was completed after only one day of filming, and then the crew moved to Xiangjiang. Because the legal system in this movie is different from the domestic legal system in China, in order to truly show the whole movie, Xiao Ran decided to set all the real scenes of the movie in Xiangjiang.

Because the current legal system in this colony is exactly the same as in the movie.

……

Huaxia Airport, Xiao Ran is seeing off.

"Brother Xiao Ran, bye-bye. Thank you for letting Sister Tang Yun take me to Xiangjiang to film. I haven't been to Xiangjiang yet......"

At this time, the young Xiao Muxue and Tang Yun were both in the stage of the New Year's holiday, and there was no role for Tang Yun in the current movies shot by Xiao Ran, so Xiao Ran made a decision after soliciting Tang Yun, that is, to let Tang Yun take Xiaoxue to Xiangjiang to shoot "Law Enforcement Pioneer".

Xiaoxue's role is not too much, playing the daughter of Liang Ersheng's family who was killed by the crown card in the first few minutes, although the little girl was younger in the original work. But the casting is actually not very good.

Because in Xiao Ran's opinion, the little girl in the original work is more than well-behaved. But the appearance is not too cute, and it can't really touch the softness in the hearts of many audiences, causing hatred for the two criminals!

So Xiao Ran arranged Xiaoxue to play this role, with her cute appearance, she can arouse the audience's love even more in the movie, so that when she sees Liang Ersheng's family of eight being wiped out, she will be more excited and hate those two scumbags even more, as for the age of the character, this is not a problem.

When saying goodbye, Xiaoxue hugged Xiao Ran happily and kissed him on the face.

Xiao Ran held her in his arms, and held Tang Yun on the side with the other hand, telling all kinds of love words before Xiao Bie.

At this moment, in the cameras of many reporters at the airport, it is like a mirror image of a young couple traveling with their daughter.

"Xiao Ran, we are reporters from "Yanjing Entertainment", are you preparing to go abroad?"

At this time, reporters began to come forward for interviews, and Xiao Ran replied with a smile: "I'm here to see me off." ”

At this time, seeing Tang Yun holding Xiaoxue, the reporter also understood: "So where are Tang Yun and Xiaoxue going to go?" Going abroad to play? Or filming? ”

Xiao Ran agreed: "Actually, Tang Yun is going to help me take Xiaoxue to Xiangjiang to shoot a new action movie, because Xiaoxue is still relatively young, so Tang Yun can only take her." ”

"New action movie? And it was filmed in Xiangjiang? Who is the main actor in the movie? Does Tang Yun also play a role? ”

"For the time being, I can only reveal to you that this is a police movie, and the specific leading actors, please pay attention to our press conference after the film is completed, and most of the shots of this one will be filmed in Xiangjiang, and some of them will be filmed in Britain, we Xingyi City hopes to make more changes, so we did not put the plot shooting location of the movie in Huaxia, hoping to give the audience more freshness."

……

This "Law Enforcement Pioneer" Xiao Ran was filmed under the company of Xingyi City, and the initial investment of Yida is 50 million, not including the later publicity costs, although the budget for this kind of filming is nothing now, Xiao Ran's Journey to the West series has smashed more than 120 million in the end, and it was Xiao Ran's own investment.

And this time hanging on the Star Art City, Xiao Ran mainly wants to use this film to invade markets such as Xiangjiang, Baodao and Europe and the United States, so the filming of the movie will be placed in Britain and Xiangjiang, just to bring the audience a different feeling.

In fact, although the box office of several films made by Xiao Ran before was not bad in China, the sales situation in foreign countries has rarely been able to enter the top ten of the annual box office, not only in Europe and the United States and Southeast Asia, but even in the domestic treasure island and Xiangjiang, the box office is not very good.

Especially the Journey to the West series, because these places do not have a deep understanding of "Journey to the West", many audiences did not choose to enter the cinema to watch this movie, so it has achieved one billion in China, and now the second Journey to the West series is still being screened, after the first part was launched around the world, the response in many places was not strong!

The strongest place for foreign sales is in the island country, because there have been movies and TV series of the same type in the island country for a long time that were filmed with "Journey to the West" as the model, so the audience in the island country can accept such a movie plot.

In the end, the box office record of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" in the island country has entered the third place of the year, which is still the result of Zhengdong Film Company not promoting too much in the island country, which shows the preference of the island country audience for Journey to the West-themed movies!

In fact, this movie can be regarded as Xiao Ran's test of the waters, one is an attempt at kung fu movies with urban backgrounds, and on the other hand, the background is set in Hong Kong and British Britain, and it is also hoped to take the opportunity to enter the film market in other places.

That's why he took this movie and hung it under Xingyi City, and with the sky-defying box office of the Journey to the West series, Yida Group had initially invested 50 million, which means that Xiao Ran is taking the Lu family's money to make his own real movie.

However, now I am confident in the quality of this movie, and I believe that it will definitely not lose money after the release, but if you want to replicate the myth of the Journey to the West series, it is estimated that it will be impossible.

……

Xiao Ran, the producer of "Law Enforcement Pioneer", has been completely handed over to Liu Kui's operation, and because of the 50 million investment of Yida Group, Xiao Ran also added a lot of big scenes in the original script.

For example, in the scene where Zhou Dingguang is looking for someone to ambush Xia Lingzheng, and the final decisive battle scene, Xiao Ran has added big scenes such as car chases and explosions, and the whole movie is even more interesting.

Anyway, filming this movie, one is that Xiao Ran likes the attitude towards the law in the movie very much, thinking that when the law cannot uphold justice, someone should stand up and preside over justice, and the other is that this movie is to use the Lu family's money to support the sixth senior brother Yuan Biao.

Originally, Tao Wenhua still had a slight opinion on Xiao Ran's use of Yuan Biao as the starring role, but seeing that Xiao Ran had made one movie after another, there was no loss of money, and there was even a box office miracle of the Journey to the West series, so in the end, he was relieved to let Xiao Ran do it.

And Xiao Ran is not burning his own money, so naturally he is not distressed, let Liu Kui not be afraid of wasting, although the implementation of the big scene system in the movie, anyway, if there is not enough money halfway through the filming, it is enough to let Yida Group inject capital......

"Xiao Ran, are you really so relieved about the filming of "Law Enforcement Pioneer"?"

In the office of Xingyi City, Xiao Yuanshan said to his son with some concern.

He knows very well that the outside world calls Liu Kui a billion-dollar director, but when Liu Kui was filming the Journey to the West series, he was at most an executor, so the details and performances were all grasped by Xiao Ran.

So in fact, the box office of those two movies is basically created by Xiao Ran, so now Xiao Ran has handed over a kung fu movie of more than 50 million to Liu Kui and his team to do, and it is not filmed in Yanjing, which means that if something goes wrong, Xiao Ran can't control it at all.

But Xiao Ran didn't have the slightest worry: "Dad, you believe in my vision, although the fourth senior brother has not been a director for a long time, but he has the ability and potential in this area, it is actually a good thing for him to let go of him now to give him more freedom, besides, the script and storyboard of the entire movie have been given to him, and the drama has already been told, it is impossible for him to follow me for the rest of his life, right?" Besides, he has been following the eighth master for a while, if it really doesn't work, I will let the eighth master help him. (To be continued......)
