Heartless mages are completely different from donkeys getting water and nightclubs.

Although donkey water and nightclubs have brought huge profits to the bright era, in terms of production, these two movies are out-and-out small productions, small-budget movies, there are not a few actors, and there are only dozens of corresponding crew members. Needless to say, the whole scene is in a supermarket; The scene of the donkey getting water is also mostly inside and outside the rain temple, which is simple to the point of simplicity.

But Heartless Mage is different, there are dozens of main and supporting roles involved in the Heartless Mage TV series, including various tricks, and there are many scenes of dozens or hundreds of people. Moreover, the scene changes frequently, and there are many different scenes.

Mage Wuxin is expected to invest 12 million, this is the first time that the bright era has tried to shoot a TV series, the first time to run a large-scale project, and the people in the entire company are very cautious.

Although 12 million is not much, it is not less, the first time to produce a TV series, the bright era also pulled Huayi, in addition to the bright era, Huayi also participated in the investment.

In the end, Bright Times invested 8 million, Huayi invested 4 million, and Huayi provided some crew members with rich experience in TV drama shooting, and the income was divided into 46 percent, Bright Times 6, and Huayi 4.

Although Bright Times rejected Huayi's shareholding, when Gu Cancan and Wang Zhonglei mentioned that the two sides could cooperate in filming Wuxin Mage, Wang Zhonglei learned about the project and immediately agreed.

This Republic of China fantasy drama basically had no similar genre before, and Wang Zhonglei is not sure whether it can be recognized by the market, but in his opinion, this drama can successfully pass the review of optoelectronics, proving that the bright era, or the Gu family, still has some energy.

After all, there are really ghosts in it.

Moreover, Gu Cancan's reputation as a genius director has already resounded in the industry, and he can make a good relationship with the bright era through co-production, and the income ratio is still four or six, Wang Zhonglei is still very satisfied with this.

Gu Cancan chose to cooperate with Huayi, also because the other party has this rich experience in TV drama production, after all, the bright era has no experience in complex projects, and with the participation of Huayi personnel, the filming process can also avoid many detours.

Huayi not only has staff involved in the filming, but the actors also want a piece of the pie.

Gu Cancan no longer gave in to this, several main actors insisted on using the contracted actors of the bright era, but there were not many signed actors in the bright era, and in the end, except for the roles designated by Gu Cancan, most of the others were picked by Huayi's actors.

Yes, Huang Haibo is also an actor of Huayi.

Among the roles, in addition to Gu Xuanwu of Huang Haibo, Feng Shaofeng played the role of Feng Shaofeng, and Bai Liuli was played by Jia Meiliang.

Bright Times also tried to invite Jia Niliang to join, but in the end Jia Niliang chose Huayi.

Wang Zhonglei's vision is also very keen, he read the script and decisively judged that although the main characters were picked by the bright era, the rest of the dust and Bai Liuli are very likable characters, Huayi is praising Feng Shaofeng and Jia Niliang, so these two roles are divided between the two of them.

Gu Cancan has no opinion on this, except for a few she picked, there is no problem with giving the rest to Huayi.

……

In this filming of Wuxin Mage, Gu Cancan is the producer and producer, and he is also the actor of Yue Qiluo.

This time she didn't plan to be the director again, the producer is not just a name, she has to participate in all aspects of the filming process of the entire crew, and she has to play the biggest villain role, so she really doesn't have the energy to direct and shoot again.

Cao Jiankui and a director of Huayi jointly served as the director of the play.

There are still too few personnel in the bright era, and now, except for Gu Cancan, there is still only Cao Jiankui who can handle the director.

After the box office dividends of the donkey get water, we must recruit another group of relevant professionals, Gu Cancan thought to himself.

April 1, Hengdian Film and Television City.

Today is the day when the Heartless Mage crew starts work.

Early in the morning, Gu Cancan, the actors and the staff came to the rented Republic of China Style Street early, and the staff prepared an incense case early, with melons and fruits and a roast suckling pig on it, which was used to hold the groundbreaking ceremony.

The crew held a groundbreaking ceremony to worship God before the start of work, which was passed from the Xiangjiang side, and there was no such custom in the mainland at first, but since the Xiangjiang entertainment circle went north, this custom has also spread to the mainland, and it has soon become the standard process of each crew.

Gu Cancan used to be a very staunch materialist, but things like rebirth and transsexuality have happened to her, and the so-called materialist worldview has long been full of gaps, although she feels that this kind of worship ritual is not misused, but she will not object to it.

In fact, the people of Xiangjiang are particularly important to worship the gods of the groundbreaking ceremony.

It is said that when Zhang Yimou was filming "Hero", the mainland crew forgot about this procedure, and as a result, Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung refused to start work.

Later, I quickly made up for it before I officially started filming.

This may be a joke, but it reflects the importance of the Xiangjiang people to the opening ceremony for the movie.

Atheism has developed in the mainland for decades, and there is basically no way to worship immortals, if you have to say which way to worship immortals, it should be to worship the camera god......

In fact, there is a saying for this.

In the early days of film, the film in the camera was easily accidentally scratched by the parts inside during shooting, commonly known as "scribing".

If "scribing" occurs, it will cause immeasurable losses to the crew, but the machine scribing is unpredictable and difficult to prevent, and the only thing that can be done is to cover the camera with a red cloth to "suppress evil spirits", in order to seek a kind of psychological comfort, which is actually a calming effect.

Gu Cancan came to the construction site, and some media had gathered here at this time, which were specially invited by the crew.

The start-up ceremony has developed to this day, not only to worship God for psychological comfort, but also to play an additional role in publicity.

When we watch entertainment news, we can often see that a certain crew held a start-up ceremony in such and such a place, and the actors and actresses were on the scene, which are all propaganda methods, otherwise the reporter will be full of food and support, and he will have nothing to do to interview a crew to start the film.

Gu Cancan wants to participate in the filming of a TV series, and now the popularity of Donkey Water has just gone down, and the fame of director Gu Cancan is even more unique, she wants to shoot a TV series, and there are still a lot of media who want to interview relevant details.

There were more than a dozen reporters present, but they were now stopped by several security guards more than ten meters away, and the flash kept turning on to film Gu Cancan's worship process at the start-up ceremony.

The cast and crew lined up in turn, each holding three sticks of incense in their hands, Gu Cancan stood in the first place, the incense in his hand was particularly thick, as thick as a thumb, and nearly sixty centimeters in length.

According to what the old man of the crew said before, Gu Cancan bowed three times to the head of the case, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Then Cao Jiankui, Huayi's director and others finished the incense in turn, Gu Cancan reached out and lifted the red cloth covering the camera, and announced loudly: "Master Wuxin, now it's officially on!" ”

Immediately, there was a burst of cheers and thunderous applause.

Heartless Mage, filming has officially begun.

The crew began to busily arrange the filming scenes, and Gu Cancan led Cao Jiankui and a group of main actors to be interviewed by the reporters present.

Unlike other places, whether it is the opening ceremony or the on-site answering of reporters' questions, there are very few onlookers.

After all, this is Hengdian, except for the group performances where the locals live in Hengdian, these people have seen too many star actors, and they have long lost interest in watching star actors, and only some new group performances may be interested in watching interviews with other actors.

The reporter closest to Gu Cancan held up the microphone with the word Teng Xun on it, and asked loudly: "Gu Cancan, are you the director of this TV series?" ”

After glancing at this reporter, Gu Cancan replied with a smile: "No, in our TV series Heartless Mage, I play the villain, and the director is Cao Jiankui." ”

"Why didn't you act as a director this time?" The reporter of Tengxun asked.

"I personally like the role I play, and I want to play her well. You also know that I haven't studied acting, and playing a role with a lot of roles is also a very big test for me, and in order to play this role well, I am no longer distracted to be a director. Gu Cancan replied.

A female reporter asked loudly: "Gu Cancan, you are already a successful film director, why do you want to star in a TV series?" ”

"It's my personal hobby, I like to be a director and shoot what I want, but I also want to try acting."

"May I ask Miss Gu, I see that several actors in this TV series are actors who are good at water, why did you come to participate in the filming of the TV series, and does Miss Gu have a shooting plan for the next movie?"

"Gu Cancan......"

Gu Cancan made a gesture to stop, and said with a smile: "Everyone, we have so many handsome guys and beauties on the scene, our handsome Director Cao, and our super popular Zhang Yiman - Sister Wan Qianwan, don't always ask me alone." ”

The reporters smiled cooperatively and began to ask other people, but when they asked other people two questions, they always had to pull the topic to Gu Cancan.

Who made Gu Cancan the most talked-about person.

Among this group of people, except for Gu Cancan, Wan Qian is the most popular, and then Huang Haibo.

Although Huang Haibo is not handsome, he is popular at this time, and there are many reporters targeting him.

As for Jia Niliang, Feng Shaofeng, etc., there are basically no reporters to deal with them, and now they are still small and transparent.

Looking at Huang Haibo, who was talking eloquently in front of reporters, Feng Shaofeng always had a smiling expression on his face, but he was actually a little resentful in his heart, this small-eyed man looked far worse than himself, why could he get such good resources from the company and be so popular.

Jia Niliang was also slowly envious in her heart, and couldn't help but think of Liu Bang's words, the eldest husband should be like this.

……

The first day of filming is the run-in period between the actors and the director, and they are looking for feelings for each other, so naturally it can't be called any shooting progress.

Gu Cancan didn't let her be arranged, the first scene was filmed with Gu Xuanwu and Wuxin Crescent, the scene was Gu Xuanwu's house, and they went to explore the plot of the murderous mansion coming back.

Wang Kai cut an inch of hair according to Gu Cancan's request, his facial features are upright, his face is resolute, his inch head looks sunny and handsome, wearing a beggar suit full of patches, and he looks calm, like a noble son in distress, without the slightest feeling of despair.

This kind of temperament is exactly what Gu Cancan wants.

Wan Qian has Jin Chen's hairstyle that has been changed by the Republic of China, she has a beautiful goose egg face, and she can easily control all hairstyles.

Huang Haibo is wearing a military uniform, his face is white, and he is taking deep breaths at a certain frequency in the corner, which is his habit, and through the process of deep breathing, he gradually substitutes his emotions into the role.

Wan Qian secretly looked at Huang Haibo with some curiosity, and her heart was eager to try. I have long heard that Huang Haibo's acting skills are good, and Wan Qian wants to see it head-on.

Everything is ready, the gaffer adjusts the light, and the boarder comes on the field.

"Smack."

“ACTION!”

With Cao Jiankui's order, the staff began to get busy.

And Huang Haibo, Wan Qian, and Wang Kai began to enter the state of performance.

"Come, Master, please have tea." Huang Haibo smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hmm." Wang Kai picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

Wan Qian glanced at Huang Haibo carefully, and waited for Wang Kai to pick up the teacup before reaching out to take her cup.

Huang Hai sowed the horse golden knife and sat down, his small eyes scanning Wang Kai Wanqian back and forth, his expression was both expectant and suspicious.

"I said, master, you have seen it, what is going on in my house, is there a ghost?"

Wang Kai smiled without saying a word, put down the teacup, and went to take a small snack on the table and put it in his mouth.

Wan Qian secretly touched Wang Kai's knee, looking a little worried.

Gu Cancan was watching from the sidelines, and couldn't help but admire, the three of them performed really well, whether it was small movements or expressions, they all properly expressed the characters.

The show continues.

"To bring this evil out, you need a brave and great living man." Wang Kai looked at Huang Haibo and said slowly.

Huang Haibo nodded in agreement: "Hmm." The expression on his face switched to solemnity, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was looking at who could be called brave.

"Your Excellency, ......" Wang Kai showed a playful smile on his face at this time.

Huang Hai raised his eyebrows, looked at Wang Kai suspiciously, his expression changed from solemn to dull, looking stupid and cute.

"Your lord's yang qi is heavy, your murderous spirit is also heavy, and your life is blessed, I think, this person is you, my lord!"

"No, this, master, master," Huang Hai's small eyes blinked, his face was cute, his eyes flickered a few times, and said, "You are also a big living person." ”

"Hey, I can't do it, the evil is afraid of me, and I still need you to come forward."

"No, then, look at my guard." Huang Haibo pointed to the dragon set A, who had been acting as the background, and said with a straight face: "He is tall and mighty, handsome and chic, what do you think of him, master?" ”

Long Tao A took a step forward, stood upright, and saluted Wang Kai.

"Click!"

Cao Jiankui raised his head from the camera surveillance and shouted: "What are you doing taking a step forward, who let you add your own drama!?" ”
