A week after Xing Ye, Shen Mengfei and others returned to HK, everything was ready, and (Glory at Sea) officially started filming.

The cast of Glory at Sea can be called luxurious.

The starring lineup includes Xing Ye (as the male protagonist Jiang Shicheng), Xiao Li Zi (male second Steve), Shen Mengfei (male third Bruce), Liu Yifei (Jiang Tingting), Wang Zuxian (female protagonist Shen Xiangying).

The special guests are Liu Tianwang, Brother Hua (village head), and Fa Ge (old village head).

In addition, there are also a number of powerful actors.

Jiang Shicheng (played by Xing Ye) sits in front of the door of the mud brick house to mend fishing nets.

The Tibetan mastiff (Xiaobai) raised at home was bored lying at Xingye's feet and sticking out his tongue, it is early autumn, the weather is a little hot, and Xiaobai sticks out his tongue to dissipate heat.

A little boy of a few years old (Hai Sheng) trotted back and began to shout outside the fence, "Old man Jiang, old man Jiang, I have found out the news for you."

Jiang Shicheng stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and pretended to be angry and glanced at Haisheng.

"It's not big or small, how many times have you said it, you have to call grandpa."

"Tell Grandpa what you've heard."

......

Xing Ye's acting skills are superb, and the actor who plays Xiao Haisheng has no stage fright at all, and he performs very freely.

Xing Ye played the image of an old man who loves his grandson vividly.

Shen Mengfei watched Xing Ye acting beside him, and he was ashamed.

Xing Ye deserves to be Xing Ye, and his acting skills are too good.

The filming went very smoothly, and by the end of the first day of filming, the Delta incident that Jiang Shicheng recalled had already been filmed.

The next day, the filming encountered a bottleneck, and the actor who played the black ghost was unable to show the ferocity of the black ghost, which made Xing Ye and Shen Mengfei very big.

"Click!"

Xing Ye walked up and said to the actor who played the role of Captain Black Devil, "Your origin is your scar, and now the helmsman has uncovered this scar, your expression is angry, but it is only superficial, I can't see the murder, grief and anger in your eyes."

"If you want to be a good actor, you should devote yourself to the role, you can't just think about acting, you have to feel and have your own understanding of the character."

"You brew your feelings, I want to see the emotions in your eyes."

Xing Ye's preaching made the actor who played the black ghost ashamed.

After a while, the film continued to be filmed.

Captain Black Devil took out the dagger from his waist and slashed the pirate helmsman in the face, staining a lot of blood on the dagger.

Captain Black Devil licked the blood from his dagger.

"What a wonderful taste, it's so addictive." The actor who plays Captain Black Devil does not show a state of madness.

Xing Ye shouted "Click" again.

"Have you read too many scripts, do you have an in-depth understanding of the characters? How can it be angry when licking blood? The helmsman hasn't uncovered the scars of your life, and your anger now is only because the helmsman's stupid actions caused the pirate ship to capsize."

"Now that you're sanctioning the helmsman's stupidity, your anger at the moment should be temporarily gone, replaced by madness and madness, do you understand?" Xing Ye said.

"You look at your character again, think about it, and we'll do this again later." Shen Mengfei walked up and said.

"All the crew and actors, we'll skip this section now and shoot the next one."

Shen Mengfei felt that if he didn't skip this plot, he would probably have to spend it here today.

The Black Devil Captain actor was ashamed to take the script to the side to study the character positioning.

The crew transitioned to shoot the next plot. After three hours, the crew has almost filmed the memory scenes, and now there are only scenes related to Captain Black Devil.

The crew transitioned back.

The actors are in place.

ion！

It's just been a few minutes coming.

"Click!" This time it was not Xing Ye who shouted, but Shen Mengfei.

As one of the two directors, Shen Mengfei has been learning, he is talented, and he looks awkward when he watches the plot of the black devil torturing and killing the helmsman. He couldn't help it.

"Your expressions and movements are too exaggerated, it's enough for your eyes to be crazy, there's no need for your facial features to work together, and there's no need for your movements to be so exaggerated." Shen Mengfei walked over and said.

"Look at me and I'll show you this."

After Shen Mengfei finished speaking, he demonstrated it in person.

The actor who played the black devil was like an enlightenment, and he instantly enlightened himself and knew how to act.

"Thank you, director, I know how to act, give me another chance."

Seeing the firmness in the actor's eyes, Shen Mengfei chose to believe.

Everything is ready again.

ion！

This time, Shen Mengfei and Xing Ye were not disappointed, and this plot was finally passed.

After filming Jiang Shicheng's memories of the Delta Sea incident, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

"Click."

"That's the end of today's shooting, and everyone has worked hard. Let's go back and get some rest." Xing Ye said.

"Thank you for your hard work." Shen Mengfei also expressed his gratitude to the cast and crew.

Before today, Shen Mengfei had never felt so tired of being a director.

In his previous impression, the director was on top, shouting that the start and end would be over, passing what he thought could be passed, and reshooting what he thought would not work.

He didn't expect that as a director, he would have to study every role, teach actors to act, control every scene detail, and connect the scene and the plot.

When filming the movie Basketball Saboteur before, most of the scenes were filmed on the court, so the shooting was relatively easy, which gave Shen Mengfei an illusion: it turned out that it was not difficult to be a director.

In fact, there is no easy thing to say about any profession, either it takes effort or physical strength, in short, the profession is full of industrialization, if you want to be a little easier, you can only cultivate your career as a hobby and change your mind from the heart.

In the next month, the Sea Glory crew successfully filmed the parts of fishing, Jiang Shicheng's confession, rebuilding his home and developing gunpowder, and then it was the most difficult sea battle to shoot.

In order to pursue truth, Shen Mengfei and Xing Ye decided to go to the South China Sea to film.

Shen Mengfei and Xing Ye let out a rumor and asked the free masses to help star in the million-strong army.

The crowd that saw the news rushed to sign up.

The million-strong army of the sea war instantly had enough people.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Lizi has successfully lost more than 30 pounds after more than a month, and it seems that her appearance has returned to when she was filming Inception, not very handsome, but it looks good overall.

Shen Mengfei is responsible for the appearance of the movie Glory at Sea, in regular time, his handsomeness is not very reflected, when the sea battle began, when he put on the broken sleeve robe given by Steve, and when he was finally named a five-star general and wore a military uniform, his handsomeness was completely revealed.

In order to pursue the most realistic effect, the sea battle was filmed over and over again, and finally it took more than a month to complete the sea battle partially.

During the filming of the sea war, Xiao Lizi's acting skills exploded, which made people see what is called the strength of the Oscar winner.

Xiao Lizi completely showed the brotherhood and comradeship-in-arms from the changes in his eyes, tone and expression. gives people a feeling that Xiao Lizi is the character of Steve himself, and Xiao Lizi's acting skills are too good.

In the end, Shen Mengfei (as Bruce) also had a god-level performance, that is, when Xing Ye (as Jiang Shicheng) drove a fishing boat with the left-behind personnel of a small fishing village to save the scene, Shen Mengfei deduced Bruce's happiness of surviving in despair, and at the same time, after supplying the bomb, Shen Mengfei acted quite well.

When he said Steve's sacrifice, Shen Mengfei didn't cry, but the tears and grief, as well as the feeling of having no support at that moment, made people look worried.

Xing Ye and Xiao Lizi saw Shen Mengfei's play,

are all sighing that Shen Mengfei is too talented in acting.

After filming the sea battle, the film is also coming to an end. The later drama is easy to handle.

In the end, all the actors and staff of Glory of the Sea got together and took a group photo together.

"We're done!"

The whole film took two and a half months to shoot, and now only post-production and publicity are left to put the film on the schedule.

Shen Mengfei thinks that if it is released this summer, the box office will be higher.

Xing Ye approved Shen Mengfei's proposal.

Although Xiao Lizi said that he would be paid to act, Xing Ye and Shen Mengfei finally agreed to give Xiao Lizi a performance remuneration of 10 million meters.

The time has come to the end of July 2023, and the post-production of Sea Glory has been completed.

Xing Ye and Shen Mengfei have already begun to vigorously promote the movie.

Xiao Lizi and other actors are also helping to do publicity.

From filming to publicity, the whole movie cost nearly 400 million Huaxia coins in total, including all expenses.

The reason why it costs so much is that the prop ships and post-special effects processing in the sea war part are too expensive, and the actors also take a lot of them.

Xing Ye and Shen Mengfei did not treat any of the participating actors or any of the staff members badly, they were paid according to the highest standards.

After seeing the complete work that was made, Shen Mengfei and Xing Ye, as well as all the staff, felt that the efforts of the past few months were worth it.

According to the input cost of 400 million, the box office of this movie needs to reach 1.3 billion to recover the cost.

After seeing the finished film, Shen Mengfei and Xing Ye felt that this movie had every chance to hit the box office of 10 billion yuan by using the summer vacation.

This is the first work directed by Shen Mengfei, although it was directed with Xing Ye, but if he can break through the box office of 10 billion, then he will be a legend in the film industry, which is crazy.

Shen Mengfei felt that with this movie and the box office accumulated by the previous basketball saboteurs, he would definitely be able to become the highest-grossing actor in Chinese movies.

So far, the actor with the highest box office accumulation in Chinese movies is Wu Jin, Wu Jin's movie box office is mainly concentrated in the mainland market of China, but the movies starring Shen Mengfei are also very popular abroad.

This sea glory has star master, Xiao Lizi, Shen Mengfei, Hua Ge, Fa Ge five major movie stars together, plus Wang Zuxian's comeback to participate, full of gimmicks, coupled with a wonderful plot, it should not be difficult to break the box office record of Avatar.

The starring role of Xing Ye is enough to attract a large wave of domestic audiences, and Xiao Lizi's international influence can open up the overseas film market.

Glory at Sea has not been broadcast first, and the release of the global unified world is set for 8 p.m. on July 28.

The domestic pre-sale box office of Sea Glory reached 1 billion.

Earlier, after knowing that the movie Glory at Sea starring Xing Ye, Shen Mengfei and Xiao Lizi, as well as Wang Zuxian and Liu Yifei would be released in the summer vacation, several movies that were considered masterpieces were changed one after another, and no one wanted to confront such a luxurious lineup of movies.
