Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Iron Tree Blossoms

is different from the small crew of "Escape", "A Generation of Queens" is worthy of being a historical masterpiece, with a main creative team of more than 800 people, more than 100 actors with names and surnames on the script alone, and countless costumes, props, equipment, venues, and vehicles.

Managing such a large crew is a huge challenge for anyone.

What's more, Zhu Bing is still a producer for the first time.

Fortunately, Zhu Bing has a strong team under him, and Zhu Bing is good to her people on weekdays, so that her team employees have not left their jobs for three years - it is rumored that Zhu Bing is very bold with the people around him, and the year-end bonus is as high as six or seven figures. When the company's employees got married, she wrapped 30 tables of banquets and gave gifts and necklaces. Another old employee who had been with her for 7 years married and couldn't afford to buy a house, so she directly bought a set and gave it to the employee as a wedding house. With such a boss, how can employees be disloyal and not work hard?

And with such a team to assist Zhu Bing, coupled with Zhu Bing's huge network, the preparation of "A Generation of Queens" went very smoothly.

Moreover, this time Zhu Bing is really moving, she not only invested a lot of money, but also found a lot of good friends to play in friendship.

Zhang Zhiwei plays Xu Hui, Yang Baobao plays the eldest grandson queen/Zheng Wanyan, and simply plays Chen Guiren, so let's not talk about it.

Zhu Bing also found her friend Zhang Chen to play Li Zhi.

Zhang Chen is one of the symbols of Chinese pop culture, known as the "all-round Asian superstar of film and television songs", with an all-round talent with exciting multi-faceted abilities, and his status and traffic in the entertainment industry are even above the vast majority of the four heavenly kings.

Zhu Bing can find such a person to play the second male, and her energy can be imagined.

March 29th.

The crew of "A Generation of Empresses" held a grand opening ceremony in the Taiji Palace of the Tang Dynasty Palace in Hengdian.

As the leading actor, Xu Kai also participated in the huge opening ceremony of "A Generation of Queens".

Moreover, I don't know if Zhu Bing did it on purpose, or because of Xu Kai's identity as the male protagonist, Zhu Bing actually arranged for Xu Kai to stand in the C position with her.

With the deputy producer Song Shan, the deputy producer Wang Qingzai, and the superstar Zhang Chen, Xu Kai, an unknown person, actually stood in the C position with Zhu Bing, which will inevitably be speculated.

Someone swore and said: "If there is nothing between Zhu Bing and Yu Qingyun, I will twist my head off and kick it for you." ”

Some people envy Xu Kai: "I can actually get Zhu Bing, this Yu Qingyun is really a model for my generation!" ”

Some people laughed at Xu Kai: "Yu Qingyun looks like a gentleman, but I didn't expect it to be a soft rice eater, tsk!" ”

With so many rumors, it is impossible not to reach Xu Kai's ears.

In this regard, Xu Kaizhi smiled.

One mouth can't persuade everyone, and the villain must live.

Moreover, Xu Kai is not a young man in his twenties, and he is not so angry.

It's not necessary to be old enough to explain.

Life in the world is to make people laugh, occasionally laugh at others, Hongchen is busy competing for hot meals, why not be afraid of idlers.

At the opening ceremony, Zhu Bing announced on behalf of the producer: "This drama has a creative team of 800 people, including more than 500 scene designs, 380 large-scale scenes, nearly 1,000 shooting points, and an investment budget of 350 million. We also invited Hollywood styling teams to create scenes such as the ancient capital of Chang'an, the Taiji Palace of the Tang Dynasty and the Battle of Dongliao, the battlefield of the ancient empire, and some scenes in the studio were built in the National Digital Film Industrial Park. We are committed to restoring this true history. ”

Deputy producer Song Shan then said: "We refresh the data of the TV drama circle at any cost this time, we have spent tens of millions of yuan on costume styling alone, and all the actors' costumes add up to about 3,000 sets, of which Bingbing's costumes alone are as many as 260 sets." ”

Deputy producer Wang Qing took over and said: "We are committed to creating an epic historical masterpiece and presenting it to everyone." ”

After the three major producers finished speaking, it was the turn of the actors to speak.

On the premise that Zhu Bing had finished speaking, as the leading actor, Xu Kai was the first to stand up: "Thank you producer for giving me the opportunity to play Emperor Taizong, I will definitely do my best to interpret the role of Emperor Taizong." ”

After saying this, Xu Kai handed the microphone to Zhang Chen, and behaved quite low-key.

Zhang Chen said a lot of things to stand up for Zhu Bing, and then handed over the microphone to Zhang Zhiwei.

The main actors spoke in turn, and then it was the reporter's turn to ask questions.

As the first protagonist, the first traffic star, the first investor, and the first producer of this play, Zhu Bing is undoubtedly the person who is asked the most.

Then there was Zhang Chen.

Then there are popular stars such as Yang Baobao and Simple.

And when it was Xu Kai's turn, he only asked: "Mr. Yu, why were you chosen as the protagonist?" ”

Xu Kai replied according to what Zhu Bing told him before: "I think the producer should have his own considerations. ”

Zhu Bing immediately took the ball passed by Xu Kai: "Please take a look at the stills." ”

As soon as Zhu Bing's voice fell, a still of Xu Kai appeared on the big screen.

In this still, Xu Kai is at least a dozen years older, and he is completely a middle-aged face.

But Xu Kai did not lose half of his charm because of this, on the contrary, Xu Kai exposed his other side, calm, wise, sage, heroic, and looked at the world, which is a good interpretation of Li Shimin, the first emperor of the ages.

"I have cooperated with Brother Yu in "Escape", the first time I saw Brother Yu, I felt that Brother Yu was the best choice for Emperor Taizong, and in the subsequent contact process, I found that Brother Yu was both civil and military, with a calm personality, wisdom, and excellent acting skills, at that time I decided that I would sincerely invite Brother Yu to join "The Empress of the Generation" to add luster to this play, and then I looked for Brother Yu three times, and Brother Yu agreed to play Emperor Taizong."

Speaking of which, Zhu Bing also showed Xu Kai a resentful little look.

Xu Kai secretly said that it was not good.

Really!

The next day, Zhu Bing's eyes spread along with the launching ceremony of "A Generation of Empresses".

Fortunately, this is just a look, Xu Kai is not famous, and this iconic historical moment was soon drowned in the overwhelming reports of "A Generation of Empress".

The reporters who can come to the start-up ceremony are almost all partners and friends of the crew, how can they hold on to Xu Kai, who was advocated by Zhu Bing?

At the end of the question session, "A Generation of Empresses" was officially launched.

In order to demonstrate the strength of the crew of "A Generation of Empresses", the crew selected two sets of big dramas as the scenes to be filmed at the opening ceremony.

The first group filmed the big scene of Zhu Bing and their royal wives entering the palace.

In the second group, Xu Kai competed with his three sons.

(The rest has already been prepared, and it will be ready to start filming just after the main actors arrive.) )

It stands to reason that naturally the first group of dramas is more eye-catching.

Although there are only a few sets of shots in this scene, and even Zhu Bing doesn't have a few lines, the cost of this scene alone for the set and group performance exceeds one million, which can fully show the strength and ambition of the crew of "A Generation of Empress".

But many reporters were attracted by the competition between Xu Kai and his three sons.

I saw that Xu Kai not only matched Emperor Taizong's appearance and bearing, but also killed decisively, and beat his three "sons" cleanly.

As far as the facts are concerned, the reason why this situation occurs, first of all, is that Xu Kai's martial arts are too high, and secondly, it is also because the three actors who play Xu Kai's son, although they have practiced martial arts for a few days, they are still just showmen, whether it is action or reaction, they are too much worse than Xu Kai.

The director didn't want Emperor Taizong played by Xu Kai to be too strong, and it seemed that the three ambitious princes were too incompetent, so he repeatedly shouted clicks, and then discussed with Wu Zhi and Xu Kai how to make the actors who played the three princes lose reasonably.

Every time, Xu Kai followed the requirements of the director and Wu Zhi to let and cooperate with the three actors.

But because the two sides are really too different, as a result, the more Xu Kai lets in, the more awkward the things are filmed.

There is no way, the director can only let the three actors replace him.

In this way, Xu Kaicai contributed a wonderful fight scene to "The Empress of the Generation".

Seeing Xu Kai's play, a group of reporters, including the actors and staff of the crew of "The Empress of the Generation", knew why Zhu Bing said that Xu Kai was both civil and military.

I won't talk about the aspect of the text.

In terms of martial arts, Xu Kai is really powerful, the three well-known martial artists in the industry have joined forces and have been beaten by Xu Kai only to parry and have no power to fight back, the key is that Xu Kai is not only beautiful, but also not fancy, every move is a real killer move with great practical combat significance, and it seems that the fight between them is both real and good-looking.

It can be said that taking Xu Kai's fight scene as the opening scene of "The Empress of the Generation" will definitely catch the audience's attention at once.

Zhu Bing's eyes were full of smiles and unconcealed appreciation.

Zhang Chen leaned over and asked bluntly: "What, the iron tree is blooming?" ”

"Go."

Zhu Bing said stiffly: "I just think that I have tapped a good actor." ”

Zhang Chen scoffed: "Use me as a green leaf to foil him, just because he is a good actor?" ”
