Is "East Becomes West" a martial arts film?

No!

This film is a spoof action movie.

There are more comedy elements than action elements.

If you have to set a genre for this movie, Zhang Sheng thinks it should be a comedy.

If you look at this movie from the perspective of a martial arts film, the evaluation is just two words: bad movie.

But what about from a comedy perspective?

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is very popular.

There is no doubt about that.

Many of the characters in it are impressive.

The evil in the east and the poison in the west, the southern emperor and the northern beggar.

For those who have watched this drama, when it comes to these characters, I am afraid that many of them can tell their fame.

These characters are still familiar today.

Especially after "The Condor Heroes", these characters are even more plump.

Zhang Sheng wanted to shoot this, which instantly attracted the attention of countless people.

Of course, in addition to the content of the movie, the topicality of Zhang Sheng's new film also focuses on the all-star lineup and the release of the Spring Festival.

All-star cast?

So which stars will star?

Naturally, this is in the spotlight.

As for the release of the Spring Festival file, it is nothing more than because there are only three months before the Spring Festival.

Time is obviously in a hurry.

Movies that are in a hurry generally give people the impression that the quality is not guaranteed.

Even if the quality of Zhang Sheng's movies is trustworthy.

Under such a topic, the film's launch conference naturally attracted a large number of media reporters.

What's more, "Resident Evil 2" is still being released!

The popularity of this movie has not completely faded.

And when those media reporters arrived at the scene, they were shocked to find that this star lineup is really strong!

Zhang Sheng starred as Wang Chongyang.

Zhongshentong Wang Chongyang, the ceiling of combat power in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Wu Zhuo played the northern beggar Hong Qi.

Who is Hong Qi?

That is naturally Hong Qigong in "Shooting the Condor" and "Condor".

When you are old, you are "Gong", and when you are young, you are "Little Seven", "Ah Seven", not "Seven Gong".

Deng Ming starred as Ouyang Feng.

Peng Yuqian starred as Emperor Duan of the Southern Emperor.

Ihozin starred as the East Evil Yellow Pharmacist.

The other characters are a little incomprehensible.

Liu Yun plays the princess.

Wen Feifei starred as the national teacher.

Yu Xiaoxi plays the role of the little junior sister.

These characters should be new.

And the most incomprehensible thing is that Gu Sisi actually starred as Zhou Botong.

Old urchin Zhou Botong?

It must be a man!

Gu Sisi is acting in reverse!

And the story of this film is also very simple.

The main thing is that when Zhang Sheng introduced, he said it very simply.

He just said one sentence:

The film mainly tells a series of absurd stories about the East Evil, the West Poison, the Southern Emperor, the Northern Beggar, Zhou Botong and others when they were young. It's ridiculous. ”

How ridiculous it is, we will not know until the film is released.

Zhang Sheng naturally won't spoil here.

And those media reporters may not have listened to the word "ridiculous".

The focus of their attention is probably still on the word "young".

This movie is about the story of the world's five best when they were young.

Then naturally there will be nothing to do with Huang Rong and Guo Jing.

"Director Zhang, the actor of your film is so strong, I don't know how much to invest?"

During the reporter's question session, a reporter asked.

With such a lineup, the salary is probably amazing.

Needless to say, Zhang Sheng's movies are definitely tens of millions.

People may not be willing to take it.

It is probably not an exaggeration to say that he is the highest-paid actor today.

Of course, this remuneration has something to do with the fact that he doesn't take on much drama.

However, the main reason is that "Terminator" broke 100 million at the box office in North America, and Hollywood sent him a lot of invitations.

Among them, the salary is 20 million US dollars.

However, he was still pushed by Zhang Sheng.

Of course, if you star in a domestic movie, it will naturally not be so high.

But it's definitely tens of millions of dollars.

Hollywood gives Zhang Sheng such a high salary, largely because of his influence and appeal in China.

And for a group drama like "East Becomes West", the salary is naturally less, but it is not much.

In addition, Wu Jie, Deng Ming, and Gu Sisi's movie salaries are all above 30 million.

And Liu Yun, Peng Yuqian, Wen Feifei, Yu Xiaoxi and others are basically above 10 million.

If the actors' salaries of these people are sufficient, I am afraid that they will be nearly 200 million.

Coupled with the cost of filming and production, the investment in this film is probably not small.

"The investment in this film is not large." Zhang Sheng said, "As for how big it is, we won't know until after the shooting." The reason why it is not big is because the main actors are not paid. The bulk of the cost is on the shooting and production costs. ”

The princess's actress was paid, but she was not very famous, and when she starred in Zhang Sheng's movie, her salary was reduced.

So it just meant a bit.

She wanted to get dividends like everyone else, but unfortunately he didn't have that qualification.

And the filming and production cost of this film is not high.

There are no special effects, how much can it cost for the shot of Ouyang Feng flying in the sky wearing boots.

As for the monsters in the Nine Yin White Bones, Zhang Sheng didn't think about using any special effects to make them.

Of course, he didn't plan to be as sloppy as the original.

What other special effects are there?

Emperor Duan has one head left?

How much money can be spent on the technical content of special effects?

The big scene?

Naturally, there was none.

There are not many actors.

"Director Zhang, are you really going to enter the Spring Festival file for this movie? Now that the Spring Festival is only three months away, how can you ensure the quality of the film while still catching up with the schedule? ”

"If you can catch up, that's good." Zhang Sheng said, "If you can't catch up, it doesn't matter." However, I think I can catch up. The film is still very well prepared. As for the quality of the movie, I am sure that it will not disappoint fans. ”

"Director Zhang, as for the adaptation of this movie to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", is the screenwriter Ling or Yuanle?"

Zhang Sheng's vest has not yet been exposed, and media reporters naturally don't know about it.

The script of the TV series is out of "Yuanle", so what about the movie script?

But they are all famous screenwriters.

"It's my name." Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "This movie actually has nothing to do with the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so I just borrowed their names and martial arts." ”

In the field of film, Zhang Sheng's vest is obviously not as famous as himself, nor is he more worthy of the trust of fans.

"Director Zhang, the cast is so strong, so who are they?"

It is not uncommon for actors to compete for positions in the circle.

Sometimes even bayonets are red.

Of all these people, who has the biggest wrist?

That has to be Zhang Sheng.

His status as a director adds a lot of points.

What about other than that?

Wu Jie, Deng Ming, and Gu Sisi should belong to the first echelon.

Liu Yun, Peng Yuqian, and Ihozin should belong to the second echelon.

Relatively speaking, Wen Feifei and Yu Xiaoxi are worse.

"This is a group drama, there is nothing to speak of." Zhang Sheng said, "Not all movies need to be ranked. Well, then the cast will come in alphabetical order by their names. ”

With an all-star cast of movies, where is there any battle for position?

It can be said that it is all the protagonists, and it can also be said that it is all supporting roles.

At the press conference, Zhang Sheng was the biggest focus, but it was not the only focus.

Wu Jie and others were naturally questioned by the media.

They are all old rivers and lakes, and no matter how tricky the questions of those media reporters are, they are also at ease.

At the end of the press conference, information about the film was reported by the media.

Changsheng Entertainment's publicity and distribution department is naturally indispensable to promote it behind the scenes.

After all, the Spring Festival is only three months away.

Some blockbusters released during the Spring Festival have now begun pre-promotion.

The topicality of "East Becomes West" is still very sufficient.

The main creative team is too strong.

In addition, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" itself is a popular TV series.

And the follow-up "The Condor Heroes" is also a big hit.

The characters in it are household names.

Audiences who like this drama naturally have expectations for this movie.

is not only looking forward to the plot, but also looking forward to what the stars can play those roles.

If you look forward to it with the characters of the original TV series, it is estimated that it is destined to be disappointed.

In the ceiling of combat power, the supernatural king Chongyang was stoned to death by a boot when he appeared.

The Southern Emperor wanted to become an immortal, and the Northern beggar turned into a licking dog, and he wanted to commit suicide because of his feelings, and he was poisoned by Western poison into a sausage mouth.

The filming of "East Becomes West" did not go as smoothly as expected.

The actor's acting skills are naturally no problem.

This movie can't talk about acting either.

The problem is that there are often laughs when patted and patted.

This one is stable, but the other one is not.

One laugh, and the audience starts laughing.

The whole crew laughed constantly.

The only thing worth chuckling at is that the filming is progressing quite well.

"Mr. Guo, are you interested in making a cameo?"

Zhang Sheng's crew has never been short of visiting classes.

What's more, "East Becomes West" was filmed in a film and television city not far from Yanjing.

However, Zhang Sheng didn't expect that the first person to come to visit the class was Guo Yunlin.

"Very interested!"

Guo Yunlin said with a smile.

He has not made cameo appearances in Zhang Sheng's movies once or twice.

This cameo is also often talked about by fans.

Of course, the main thing is that Zhang Sheng will also make cameos in his movies.

It's a favor.

No matter how you calculate it, it's all earned by him Guo Yunlin.

The attraction of Zhang Sheng's cameo is much more attractive than that of his Guo Yunlin's cameo.

Guo Yunlin did not come alone this time, but brought his son-in-law Guo Peng.

Guo Peng came to a certain crew to try out.

He came along, and naturally wanted to go through personal connections and win that play.

As for whether it went smoothly, then I don't know.

He heard that Zhang Sheng was filming in the film and television city, so he came to visit the class.

In fact, there are also his sons who are familiar with Zhang Sheng.

Guo Yunlin made a cameo, and Guo Peng also made a cameo.

Guo Peng's cameo is the second shopkeeper, the one who was scolded by the cousin played by Yu Xiaoxi.

And what about Guo Yunlin?

He plays the role of the shopkeeper who was scolded.

Guo Yunlin's line is just one sentence: I'm afraid that the girl will scold me.

However, relatively speaking, Guo Peng has a little more lines.

Of course, there are no two words when facing my cousin.

Just three words:

"Me"

"I want to."

However, there are still a lot of lines with Zhou Botong and others played by Gu Sisi before.

Guo Peng is also a little famous now.

The battle for fame was on "The Happy Comedian".

He can't escape the fate of the second generation of other stars: who is his father (mother)!
