Chapter 228: Actor Selection

After the male protagonist of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" selected Chen Yu, Fan Zhe also set some other actors.

The heroine Yan Zheke let Una get it.

In the first half, among the male supporting roles, the role of 'Lin Que', which is almost the heaviest, was handed over to Chen Weiting.

There are also a few stars about the third to second tier, who have also received invitations to roles, but the roles are generally not heavy.

For example, the protagonist Lou Cheng's sworn friend, the experimenter of Cai Zongming, known as the 'King of Mouths', will be Peng Yuchang;

For example, in the middle of the plot, together with the protagonist Lou Cheng, they will be called the two martial arts geniuses of the world, Ren Li and Peng Leyun, the former actor is one of the more famous ones at present: Nazha, this girl from the northwest, she or her team will accept a supporting role, in fact, Fan Zhe feels a little surprised. And the latter let Zhu Yilong get it. This is also an actor who became popular in a drama some time ago, with excellent appearance and good acting skills.

So, looking at it this way, the cast of the main characters is already quite good.

Although there are no particularly first-line veteran movie stars, there is no shortage of popularity.

The three of Dimension Entertainment's own family won't say much; Peng Yuchang is also a little famous, Nazha and Zhu Yilong are not bad.

And on Starlight, Wedo Entertainment is still making more attempts.

Not all actors auditioned.

In addition to these main characters, there are also characters like Shi Jianguo's 'master', as well as 'Dragon King' Chen Qitao and 'Martial Saint' Qian Donglou, two so-called true peerless shuangjiao, although they have limited appearances in the early stages of the story, they are quite important characters.

They all invited quite good actors.

This part of the salary is relatively better, after all, it is similar to the nature of cameos, and there are not many scenes.

spent a certain price, the 'Dragon King' found Liao Fan, and the actor of 'Martial Saint' was Zhu Yawen.

At first glance, the whole lineup is quite starry.

Of course, this also comes at a price, and the cost of the salary of "Martial Arts Master" has gone up a lot all of a sudden.

Chen Yu and Una, although they are their own actors, are not newcomers who used to film "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" together. Una may be better, Chen Yu is now a popular student, and Fan Zhe will not go to overly squeeze others just because this is his own actor. According to the market price, the salary is as much as it should be opened - anyway, according to the brokerage contract, a part of it will be withdrawn.

As for the other actors, Fan Zhe is mostly satisfied with the salary.

The story content of "Martial Arts Grandmaster" will not be filmed all at once. The story of the first part will go on until the main character Lou Cheng's school, that is, Matsushiro University, wins the championship of the National University Martial Arts Association.

This is about half of the original work, the original book has more than 2.5 million words, and under the condition that Fan Zhe will not make a lot of content abridgement, if you want to finish filming one episode, I am afraid it will take one or two hundred episodes.

is a more suitable idea, Fan Zhe still hopes to be divided into two to three parts to shoot.

The entire series is arranged, and there are about 70 episodes, which is the common length of current domestic TV drama production.

It is precisely because of the reason that there may be a next film, the contracts signed between Wedo Entertainment and each actor stipulate that the actor shall not be absent from the filming of the next film unless there is force majeure, and the salary will be increased by 10% according to the main part, and a considerable amount of liquidated damages will be compensated for violation.

Under such circumstances, the salary cost of "Martial Arts Grandmaster" has risen to more than 120 million.

In fact, it is quite a high expense.

With a budget of about 500 million, 300 million is in the production of special effects, and there is another about 80 million funds, in addition to spending a lot of money to recruit the action team, the rest of the shooting costs are actually not as rich as imagined.

But it's not nervous.

After the actors were in place, it was soon time for 'action training'.

With a tight schedule, after this half-month of movement training, it will almost be January.

According to Fan Zhe's plan, at that time, the official shooting plan will be launched, and the shooting will be completed before next summer, and then the post-production will be completed as soon as possible, and strive to be officially launched around next year's National Day.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time for the actors' action training, Fan Zhe rushed back to the company and participated in a meeting about "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2".

It's been a year since the project started last fall.

After listening to the report of the project team, Fan Zhe learned that the progress of the entire project was about 70%.

The main art resources are actually almost already provided. The remaining difficulties that need to be overcome are still technical.

"I have never rushed you, and I will not be. However, now that it's been a year, you should at least give me a time frame to be able to produce the full work. ”

The main planner Eggplant and Gao Yixiang glanced at each other, and Eggplant said: "Boss, we can guarantee that we will be able to come up with the finished product before next summer." ”

"Well, that's good."

Gao Yixiang added later: "Actually, we estimate that in a week, we will be able to come up with an initial trial version." The framework of the whole game has actually come out.,The art has also been done.,The remaining difficulties,Mainly in the dynamic rivers and lakes.,And dynamic NPCs.,There's a lot of optimization work.,Actually,Now it's really going to send a test version.,It's not impossible.。 ”

"Don't send the test version." "I don't want to go out with an unfinished beta. But can there really be a playable version in a week? ”

"Yes." "Actually, when the time comes, we're going to test it internally, and then we can start some promotional work, and by the way, invite some players to do an internal test or something." ”

Fan Zhe estimated his time, and then said: "I will be in the company in a week, and I will come when the time comes." ”

"Okay boss, don't worry."

……

This news made Fan Zhe very happy.

"Taiwu Picture Volume 2" can be regarded as the largest, longest-running, and most invested project launched by Wedo Entertainment since its establishment.

In this regard, Fan Zhe still has high hopes.

Games are something he loves, and he is also quite interested in the whole set of gameplay and planning that he came up with before.

He wants to know what his company has invested more than a billion yuan to make.
