It is almost an impossible task to complete a movie with an investment of more than 100 million in a month. Because throughout the film history of China and even the world, there is no precedent. The larger the cost of a movie, the longer its promotion period is often used, and a month is far from enough time to even be used for promotion, let alone to complete the entire process from preparation to release.

No investor would make such an attempt, because the risk is too great and it may be lost. Making a movie in this way could make the most money-losing movie in history.

However, Tang Xiaosheng still decided to give it a try, because he was not afraid of losing money.

Tang Xiaosheng's current net worth, although it is only about 1.2 billion yuan, is not a rich man, but he knows that he was originally just a poor boy from a poor mountain village, and he is already very content with today's wealth.

He himself is not a very good person who spends money, and the money he has earned in the past few years is enough for him to use for several lifetimes. Now he makes a few hundred million more, or a few hundred million less, he doesn't care too much. If what he wants is money, with his current ability and influence, making money is simply easy.

What's more, if you can find Zixia as soon as possible, let the souls of the other three Tang Xiaosheng return as soon as possible, and make Xiaolongnu, Zhao Min, Ren Yingying, Dongfang Undefeated and others no longer so entangled, it would be nothing to lose hundreds of millions.

It is precisely because of this that Tang Xiaosheng decided to spend 600 million yuan for the production of the movie "Journey to the West: Looking for Zixia".

600 million yuan, although it is not the largest investment in the domestic film industry, but because the movie "Journey to the West: Looking for Zixia" is expected to have a production period of only 30 days. With an average daily expenditure of more than 20 million yuan, the speed of spending is definitely the fastest in the global film and television industry.

As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind. The astronomical speed of burning money is not meaningless, it is exchanged for a strong production team, and what is gained is super high production efficiency.

After the establishment of the crew, in the director team, in addition to appointing Zhang Zhizong as the chief director of the film, there are 18 assistant directors and more than 40 assistant directors. As for the number of production crews, drama crews, camera crews, art crews, recording crews, and post-production crews, they are at least fifteen times more than ordinary film crews.

Thereinto. A member of the Cinematic VFX Team. The total number of people has reached a staggering 300.

At the same time, all the members of the crew are the most professional and top people in the domestic industry, and Tang Xiaosheng has used the connections of more than a dozen veteran directors of the Wuxing Association. finally formed an unprecedented ultra-luxurious production team in the history of Chinese films.

Only such an almost perverted giant production team. In order to ensure that the movie "Journey to the West: Looking for Zixia" can successfully complete all the production within one month. Because on average. The crew must complete at least thirty days of work in a day for an ordinary crew.

While the crew was successfully established, all other aspects of work were also progressing very smoothly.

It only took Zhao Min one day to get the approval of the Film Bureau. This means that the crew can start working from the next day.

Xiaolongnu and Wang Yuyan also completed all the action designs of "Journey to the West" in just one day, and were highly affirmed by directors Tang Xiaosheng, Zhang Zhizong and 18 assistant directors.

Xiao Zhao's work was also done very well, she spent a day on the kung fu school to select nearly 600 extras needed by the crew, and got in touch with the crew, and officially started the relevant rehearsals on the same day.

As for Tang Xiaosheng, his most important task is to solve the problem of selecting actors. Hu Tianzhuan and Big Big Wolf both have Tang Xiaosheng's soul in their bodies, of course, they didn't hesitate to agree to shoot "Journey to the West" together, Hu Tianzhuan confirmed to play Tang Seng, and Big Big Wolf played the role of the Bull Demon King.

At the same time, Lin Meimei (Qingxia) also agreed to play the role of Zixia in the play. After all, Zixia is Qingxia's sister, and Qingxia also wants to find Zixia very much, so she agrees to participate in the filming of the movie. And Lin Meimei likes Tang Xiaosheng (Zhang Jinling), she naturally hopes to have more opportunities to get along with Tang Xiaosheng, so she also agreed to the decision to play Zixia.

In addition to Lin Meimei, Bai Xiaoxiao will also play another important female role in "Journey to the West" - Bai Jingjing, the white bone spirit. In the world of "Journey to the West", Bai Gujing is an apprentice of Zixia, and he also had a relationship with Supreme Treasure.

After determining the five main roles of Tang Seng, Bull Demon King, Zixia, White Bone Spirit, and Supreme Treasure, the cast of "Journey to the West" is basically completed.

It is particularly worth mentioning that on the second day after deciding to shoot "Journey to the West", Tang Xiaosheng personally contacted the famous Chinese actor Mr. Stephen Chow.

Stephen Chow is one of the most influential movie stars in the Chinese film industry, he has broken the box office record of Hong Kong films 6 times and won the box office champion of Hong Kong films for 8 years, and enjoys the reputation of "King of Comedy" in Chinese and is also the pioneer of "nonsensical" movies.

For Tang Xiaosheng, Stephen Chow is the guiding light of his acting career and his idol. Eleven years ago, when Tang Xiaosheng came to Jinghua City alone to start playing tricks, the first star poster he posted in his room was Stephen Chow.

Before Stephen Chow became famous, he was just an unknown little dragon, but he always had dreams for his acting career and never let up, constantly trying to write scripts, figuring out classic films, reading theories, and studying acting skills. Day after day, year after year, after putting in harder work than anyone else, he finally achieved the legend of this Chinese film superstar.

Stephen Chow's experience once gave Tang Xiaosheng great encouragement, and also made him believe that as long as he works hard enough, he will definitely be rewarded. It is precisely because of this that in Tang Xiao's six-year career, when he honed his acting skills alone in the room day and night, although the days were hard, his heart was always full of hope.

Therefore, Tang Xiaosheng has always been grateful to Stephen Chow.

After becoming famous, Tang Xiaosheng has met with Stephen Chow in the past few years. Although the number of exchanges is not much, many of the ideas of the two coincide, especially in acting and kung fu. Stephen Chow has admired Bruce Lee since he was a child and is very interested in kung fu, and Tang Xiaosheng, as the current domestic kung fu star, he soon chatted with Stephen Chow, and the two have a deep friendship.

However, Tang Xiaosheng's main purpose in contacting Stephen Chow this time was to discuss the movie "Journey to the West".

Since you want to shoot "Journey to the West", you need the corresponding filming copyright. Although the copyright of "Journey to the West" is not in Stephen Chow's hands, Stephen Chow has a close relationship with the owner of the copyright, and it will be easier to get the copyright if he is the matchmaker.

"Journey to the West" is going to be released within a month, and Tang Xiaosheng must get the copyright in the shortest possible time, so he had to turn to Stephen Chow for help.

After learning that Tang Xiaosheng was going to remake "Journey to the West", Stephen Chow was very interested, and after reading the script drafted by Tang Xiaosheng, he was even more full of expectations for this movie.

In the ending of Stephen Chow's version of "Journey to the West", Zixia sacrificed herself for the Supreme Treasure. The regret in this tragedy of love was left to Supreme Treasure, to thousands of fans, and to Stephen Chow himself.

In Tang Xiaosheng's new version of "Journey to the West", there is an opposite plot, and Supreme Treasure does not hesitate to sacrifice himself in order to find Zixia. To put it simply, this is a sequel to "Journey to the West", which will tell the audience the story that happened after Zixia and Supreme Bao's regrettable love story.

After seeing the script written by Tang Xiaosheng, Stephen Chow liked it very much and hoped that this movie would come out. As a result, Stephen Chow was very enthusiastic to help contact the Hong Kong company that owns the copyright of "Journey to the West", and met to discuss the copyright.

It was with the help of Stephen Chow that the whole negotiation process went very smoothly, and the Dream House Film and Television Company represented by Tang Xiaosheng finally succeeded in obtaining the filming copyright of "Journey to the West".

What's even more gratifying is that Stephen Chow said that if there is no conflict in the schedule, he is very interested in making a cameo appearance in "Journey to the West" to play the role of "Bodhi Ancestor".

If Stephen Chow is willing to join "Journey to the West", this will undoubtedly give this movie another excellent selling point, and Tang Xiaosheng will certainly not ask for it.

After getting the copyright, Tang Xiaosheng held a press conference on the same day to officially announce the company's plan to shoot "Journey to the West". After listening to Tang Xiaosheng's speech, the more than 100 reporters were dumbfounded, thinking that they had misheard.

With a huge investment of 600 million yuan, the movie will be released within a month, starring Tang Xiaosheng and joined by Stephen Chow, the most luxurious giant film and television production team in history, Hu Tianzhuan and Tang Xiaosheng play opposite scenes...... Any one of these factors is enough to be blockbuster news.

And now, Tang Xiaosheng's plan to shoot "Journey to the West" has integrated all these factors, and its shock and explosiveness can be imagined.

It was precisely because it sounded like a fantasy that many reporters present thought that Tang Xiaosheng was joking at first. When they learned that all this was the truth, all the reporters were stunned, and they couldn't understand Tang Xiaosheng's plan at all, because no one had ever done it.

A movie with a huge investment of 600 million, such a big deal, but to make the movie be released in a hurry, it seems that it is completely in the direction of losing all money, and it is completely inconsistent with the operation process of the movie, and the reporters don't know what Tang Xiaosheng is thinking.

Soon, the reporters spread the news of this incredible explosion, and as soon as the news came out, the entire film and television industry suddenly exploded. For Tang Xiaosheng's seemingly crazy actions, most people find it difficult to find a reasonable explanation.

Among them, psychiatrists at Jinghua Psychiatric Hospital speculated that Tang Xiaosheng was diagnosed with "intermittent psychosis" in the first place, could it be that his mental illness relapsed, resulting in mental disorders?

For a while, such chaotic conjectures emerged, which also attracted widespread attention from all walks of life, and even "Journey to the West", which started filming, suddenly became the most lively topic.

Seeing all this, Tang Xiaosheng is quite satisfied, what he wants now is this sensational effect, and the movie "Journey to the West: Looking for Zixia" will definitely go down in history and be passed on to future generations. (To be continued.) )
