Chapter 158: Many Preparations
The script of A Chinese Ghost Story is very long, at least in Wang Zheng's opinion, the short A Chinese Ghost Story, in terms of script alone, is no shorter than Fengyun.
Movies are not as simple as TV series, and it can be said that every shot has to be carefully crafted.
Don't say anything else, let's just say that the never-fading Zixia blinking on the screen, Dongfang bathing, and Xiaoqian dressing......
Even after the special effects and actors are countless times better-looking, it is still a classic that people will miss forever.
Because there are too many filmmakers' efforts in this, they carefully scrutinize every shot of the movie, and some shots even have to be reshot dozens or hundreds of times!
It's definitely something that is hard to imagine during the filming of a TV series.
It is precisely this kind of perseverance and seriousness that has the heroes of the world who step on the colorful auspicious clouds, the peerless elegance of the sunrise in the East, and the heartbreaking Chinese ghost story.
Therefore, Wang Zheng, who wrote a movie script for the first time, can be said to be extremely serious.
From the actors' costumes, set lighting effects, and shooting techniques, Wang Zheng listed them one by one in the first version of the script.
Even the relationship between the characters, psychological activities, and even the details that should be in each shot have been recorded by Wang Zheng.
The purpose of this is not for anything else, but because this is Wang Zheng's first time making a movie, no matter what the reason, the details must be depicted in place.
Even, in many shots, Wang Zheng also drew a simple picture with reference to the Chinese ghost story in his previous life.
Caution is Wang Zheng's attitude towards this film.
In Wang Zheng's heart, there has always been only one A Chinese Ghost Story, and that is the original one!
In many subsequent remakes, although the means and special effects have made unprecedented progress, it is inevitable that the purest expressiveness will be lost. The expressiveness that makes you indulge in it!
Therefore, for Wang Zheng, the script of A Chinese Ghost Story can only be modified from the original one.
At the same time, because the Tianyuan world originally had sword immortals, monsters, and ghosts, many things Wang Zheng had to depict with realism and exaggeration.
Therefore, while the plot and expressiveness should refer to the original work, Wang Zheng must surpass the original work in terms of special effects and scenery.
While writing the script, Wang Zheng was also thinking about the various problems that might be encountered during the filming process.
In front of you, the closest thing is the cast of actors.
Lanruo Temple, basically the Tree Demon Grandma's family is competent enough, with the cultivation of the Tree Demon Grandma, plus Xiao Qian, they themselves are ghosts, and if they deliberately use mana to disguise, everything is not a problem.
As for Ning Caichen, of course Wang Zheng took it on very consciously. Although Wang Zheng is not the one with an irreplaceable status, Wang Zheng also has the confidence to deduce his own Ning Caichen.
This is the same as Wang Zheng once watched the legend of the White Snake.
In the original legend of the White Snake, the young Wang Zheng had complained countless times about why Xu Xian was so cowardly?
And the new version of the Legend of the White Snake gives Wang Zheng a different kind of viewing experience, this Xu Xian is a little different, although he is a powerless scholar, but he has his own stubbornness.
"Actor ......"
Wang Zheng bit the pen and groaned, after some arrangement, the main actors are still missing Yan Chixia and Xiahou Swordsman, but there is no one in the dragon set.
Yan Chixia can make Tie Zhu makeup, but for the first time to make a movie, Tie Zhu, a semi-professional photographer, must not be absent. As for the first-class set, it's okay to say......"
After a deep groan, Wang Zheng quickly had a calculation in his heart: "It seems that I still can't get around the old team." ”
Wang Zheng, who had nothing to say all night and roughly wrote out the script, found the tree demon grandmother early the next morning.
And the purpose of looking for her is nothing else, it is to hope that she will go to Taihua Sect and bring a few people back for herself.
Of course, as a Jindan demon clan, the tree demon grandmother will definitely cause a lot of trouble if she goes directly to Taihua Sect, so Wang Zheng also recorded a photo stone for her as evidence.
At the same time, there is also a list of the team he needs this time.
Field attendant Ma Yi, Xiahou swordsman Zhao Zimo, and the cameras that have been following Nangong Tiezhu.
Regarding Wang Zheng's request for filming, of course the tree demon grandma readily agreed. Almost without much hesitation, the tree demon grandmother flew in the direction of Taihua Sect in the light.
That speed is not known how many times faster than the broken carriage of Wang Zheng!
Of course, the reason why Grandma Tree Demon was relieved to run errands for Wang Zheng was mainly because she was a hundred reassuring to Wang Zheng, and believed that she would not play Xiaoqian's idea like Zhu Ming.
First, she looked at Wang Zheng's personality, although there were some philistines and some wise people to protect themselves, but the essence was indeed what a martial artist should be.
Second, Wang Zheng is a person who is full of fame, and he can't afford to ruin his reputation for the sake of a pure yin ghost body.
Therefore, the tree demon grandmother went to Taihua Sect with such peace of mind.
As for the chief director Wang Zheng, it's not that he has nothing to do without a team. You must know that filming, especially filming, has always been for fame and fortune.
Even if it's not for the sake of making money, you have to make money for the promotion of the movie. Otherwise, where will the money come from the crew, the set, and the special effects? Where will the money come from for publicity?
Don't say anything else, let's just talk about Huojiazhuang in the wind and clouds, Wang Zheng casually borrowed a courtyard in Xiling City and used it for a while, even if he finished filming the scene.
But if the same plot is placed in a clean and compact movie, it is necessary to restore a Huojiazhuang that should have been in order to let the short-term sense of drama burst out with the picture.
If nothing else, let's talk about Fast and Furious, in fact, the story is very simple, it is a click crash! But as a movie, are you embarrassed to hit a fake car? Who watches a fake car?
Therefore, in the shooting of a movie, a lot of things have to be restored in place.
The reason why the existence of the film and television city has endured is precisely because it has all kinds of large-scale buildings and props, and it is constantly updated.
The Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the film and television city all have copycat versions, and there are no flaws in them!
This is why the trend of domestic TV dramas in Dachu has not completely broken out now, otherwise Wang Zheng will also plan to build a film and television city according to the various customs of Tianyuan World.
You know, that thing is completely making money every day!
Of course, many props and scenes are also not available in the film and television city. For example, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Harry Potter, in order to shoot Harry Potter, just the close-up of the school of witchcraft and wizardry, the props team didn't know how much effort was spent and how much money was burned!
But no matter what, making a movie is a big thing to burn money!
And the family in the temple that is about to be renamed Lanruo Temple doesn't look like rich no matter how you look at it.
What's more, it is already very inhumane for Wang Zheng to ask them for filming without paying, if he asks people for money again...... If you can't guarantee it, the sky will thunder.
Therefore, Wang Zheng couldn't help but put his mind on the behemoth here, Qiongyun Academy.
I have something to do with the dean of Qiongyun Academy, right?
Moreover, after Xu Kang was brainwashed by himself, he had already found the direction of his life - to educate all living beings!
And what kind of story does A Chinese Ghost Story tell? The tragic story of people and ghosts falling in love.
In this story, there are simple and cowardly scholars, pure and shy female ghosts, sword cultivators who regard demons as enemies, and even more powerful demons!
Such a simple and complex background, through the twists and turns of the story of people and ghosts falling in love, finally shows a central idea that love can be selfless regardless of race and age.
Such a story can deceive tears, and it can also make many people understand through this story that even ghosts are good and evil, and the most important reason why people are human is the joys, sorrows, and sorrows when they are alive.
Under such a premise, flickering ...... No, it's to talk about cooperation with Xu Kang, and Wang Zheng has the capital!
In Qiongyun Academy, Wang Zheng and Xu Kang sat opposite each other.
"Anyway, Zhu Ming's matter has already happened, no matter how much you make up for it, it will have an indelible impact on Qiongyun Academy.
On the contrary, it is better to invest in my Chinese Ghost Story, and then the protagonist with the most true and kind temperament will be a student of Qiongyun Academy in the setting.
In this way, not only can the impact of the Zhu Ming incident be minimized, but also the brand of Qiongyun Academy can be advertised by the way, which means to advertise widely.
Of course, the most important thing is the concept conveyed in this movie, people talk about good and evil, and heterogeneity also has good and evil.
As soon as this movie comes out, it will definitely be able to lay a foundation for your life goal of being educated and classless.
I wonder if the seniors think the price offered by the juniors is worth it?"
Opposite Xu Kang, Wang Zheng smiled like a little fox waiting for a price.
When Xu Kang heard this, he sighed and scolded with a smile:
"If people know that Wang Zheng, who is full of fame, is such a philistine figure, I am afraid that many people will be sad. ”
Wang Zheng waved his hand, not eating this set at all: "You just say you don't agree!"
Xu Kang smiled bitterly: "Does the old man have any other choice?" The reputation of Qiongyun Academy, the old man's dreams, and even the old man's debt to the Huaishu Daoist friends are all tied together by you, can the old man still refuse?"
When Wang Zheng heard this, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his face: "That's the deal!"
Then, as if he had thought of something, Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows and said to Xu Kang:
"By the way, I don't have enough people over there, how many more can you lend me?"
