Since Li Chencan has decided to do things, he will go all out to do it.

Today, Li Chencan came to Zhongnan Province, because the next movie will be filmed here, and the shooting here will be in Zhangjiajie, and some shots will also be shot in Tianfu Province.

The whole crew has conducted a lot of investigations here, and Li Chencan wants to make the most beautiful scenes in the movie, so he will think carefully in many places.

Soon, everything for the movie was ready, and the actor Li Chencan had found it a long time ago, including hundreds of actors of all sizes needed for the movie, and those needed were being trained in martial arts under the guidance of several martial arts instructors, training many things needed for the movie, and even getting the tricks right, these preparations were necessary.

And the props of the movie have also been prepared after more than a month of preparation, in fact, because the time is too tight and too rushed, these places spend a lot of money, these are all extra money...... However, Li Chencan didn't care about this, he wanted to make "Smiling Proud Jianghu" a real martial arts movie, and it would also be a very well-made movie, no matter where it was, it would make people feel impeccable, very sophisticated and perfect martial arts film.

In addition, the costumes, props, and scenes of the movie were all negotiated and bought.

…… These things cost a lot of money, but Li Chencan didn't hesitate to do it anyway.

After this series of preparations and calculations, as well as a lot of experience in filming movies before, Li Chencan and the others have calculated the approximate investment of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and the investment in this film may be 500 million national yuan. About $100 million.

Such a high investment is top-notch in all recent martial arts movies, and such a high investment is definitely in the ranks of blockbusters. And the investment in martial arts films is actually not much, let alone the decline of martial arts over the years.

Martial arts films in the past two years have indeed declined, and China has been talking about the revival of new martial arts, but such slogans have been shouted for several years, but there is not much effect, although there are many new martial arts films, but most of them have little influence. There is no high box office. So China's so-called new martial arts revival has always been just a slogan in many places...... With such a high investment in martial arts films, basically all companies are afraid that such an investment in the box office will hit the streets, and that is a big problem.

But Li Chencan still has to invest such a high investment. He thinks that if such a movie wants to perform well at the box office, there should be no problem.

Soon, the movie officially began filming on December 21. Today started the launch of this film. There were also a lot of people at today's start-up press conference, and these people were not invited by Li Chencan, but they took the initiative to apply...... The reason for this is very simple, after all, Li Chencan returned to China after such a long time, and this is also a Chinese-language movie that was shot after more than two years.

So many long guns and short cannons. All gathered in front of Li Chencan and them.

Behind Li Chencan, there is also a movie poster shot after the makeup is set. This movie poster is a notch up from the previous 3D version of the comic.

There are many actors who have a big difference between costumes and fashion, some people may perform quite well in costume films, but the effect on fashion films will drop a lot, and some people may look very good in fashion films, but their performance in costume films is very average...... The actors selected by Li Chencan all belong to the type of ancient costumes that are quite good, so they also look very beautiful on the poster now.

This poster is four or five meters high and two or three meters wide, and the shape of such a huge poster follows the first version of the 3D poster, which is the poster of a person holding a long sword diagonally at the screen.

This poster also looks pretty.

Li Chencan's version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" will eventually be released in 3D and 2D versions, Li Chencan actually doesn't like 3D movies very much in this situation, he still feels that the current 3D version of the movie is not very mature, and it will take a long time for the development of technology to mature, but even so, most of the fight scenes in the movie will basically be shot with IMAX3D cameras, so that the captured pictures will also have a sense of impact.

The investment of 500 million yuan is mainly invested in various props and scenes and human resources for filming at that time.

The microphones of the reporters were aimed at Li Chencan.

Li Chencan faced all the long guns and short guns, sat in the center of the main creators, and began to answer reporters' questions.

"Director Li, the investment in this "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is so high, it can be said that it is the martial arts movie with the highest investment in the past five years, what are your main expectations for this movie? Do you hope to use this movie to carry the banner of the revival of new martial arts films? ”

The reporters' questions began with a bit of a straightforward taste.

Li Chencan smiled and said: "My expectations for this movie are indeed very high, I hope to make "Smiling Proud Jianghu" a movie that can awaken something about martial arts in everyone's hearts, so in order to be able to accomplish this goal, I have made a lot of efforts, invested a lot, and invested so much money...... It's to create the texture of the movie......"

"What kind of texture is this? What does it look like? Is it talking about the action scenes of the movie? ”

Li Chencan shook his head and said, "No, in fact, if you have watched "Batman: The Dark Knight", you should know that I tried to create a texture in the movie...... This texture is expressed in many ways. In the movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the texture will be reflected in the picture, action and connotation in many places, I believe that after you see the specific content of the movie, you will be able to know what I mean by texture. ”

"Your movie should be relatively unique, so what is the main thing about the "Smiling Proud Jianghu" that you are about to shoot now?"

Li Chencan said: "The unique thing about the movie is mainly the core of the movie, the picture shown in the movie, and the feeling of the movie...... The main thing is the feeling, well, everything is still waiting for everyone to talk after watching the movie, I believe that in the movie, many questions will find answers. ”

"Why did the film use such new actors? Not looking for old actors? ”

Li Chencan said: "This is to make the movie younger, and the most important thing is that such an actor is more in line with my imagination of the movie role, the movie is written by myself, and every storyboard script is drawn by me, so I have my own impression of every character in the movie, and I have found the actor who I think best meets my character's impression." ”

"This is your first film since returning to China, and it is also a Chinese film that you haven't shot for a long time, what do you expect from the box office and word-of-mouth of this movie?"

Li Chencan groaned slightly and then said, "My expectation is ...... The movie can pay off...... My more important expectation for filming this movie is that I just hope that the movie can shoot the martial arts in my mind, and shoot a feeling of martial arts, which is my biggest expectation. ”

…… After this start-up press conference, things about the filming of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" are also flying all over the sky, and many people are constantly releasing news and things about "Smiling Proud Jianghu" at this moment.

After everyone also heard Li Chencan say that he wanted to shoot the martial arts in his mind, he looked forward to "Smiling Proud Jianghu" even more, after all, Li Chencan's ability to shoot movies has been vividly reflected in "Batman: The Dark Knight", so in the next time, everyone's expectations for "Smiling Proud Jianghu" have also reached the highest.

After the launch conference, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" officially began filming.

At the beginning, the shooting was in the Huashan faction, and the scenes here have been set up, and the current shooting is also carried out under the current situation.

"Oops!"

In the monitor, Li Chencan saw that the female No. 1 Chen Fanxin fell, and Li Chencan asked people to go over and take a look.

The intensity of the shooting is a bit too much these days...... Of course, this is also the consistent style of Li Chencan's movies, he is really strict with the filming process to the extreme, and ordinary people can't control it.

Li Chencan has very high requirements for every actor, especially the male and female protagonists, and the requirements are even higher to the extreme.

He not only requires the actors and actresses to act in fights and other things, but also requires the acting skills of the male and female leads, and their performance Li Chencan is also strictly required.

It is under such circumstances that the filming progress of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is progressing very slowly, and it has been filmed to the current extent, and the filming progress of the movie is still in one place and has not advanced too far.

But Li Chencan is not in a hurry, anyway, the budget of the movie is there, and he will increase it if it is not enough, he now has the transferred 500 million US dollars as a base, that is, 2.5 billion national yuan, so much money to shoot this movie is still very simple.

The outside world has also been paying attention to the news of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", paying attention to many things that will appear in this movie, wanting to see the stills during the filming of this movie or something, and paying attention to the plot of the movie.

Now what you see is the plot synopsis: During the Ming Dynasty, the secret book of the forbidden palace "Sunflower Treasure Book" was mysteriously stolen, and the great eunuch of Jinyi Wei suspected that it was done by Lin Zhennan of Fujian...... This story is indeed the 1990 version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but Li Chencan added a lot of things in the middle.

Everyone is eager to know more about the plot of the movie. (To be continued......)
