Chapter 423: Heaven-shattering demon thief, born stunner
"It's coming, it's coming!"
The media reporters gathered at the Beijing Airport looked forward to it and looked excited.
Soon I saw the bodyguard opening the way with a vigilant expression, and Liu Yifei came with a pair of sunglasses on her little face and a fairy spirit.
Aunt Liu, who was next to her, was wearing a floral dress, smiling brightly, and seemed to be in a good mood.
The box office of "Bouquet" has gone to 700 million, and it is a big kill in Asia, compared with those little flowers in China, Liu Yifei faintly has a feeling of next level.
"Wow! Liu Yifei! It's so beautiful! ”
"Sissi, how do you feel about the box office explosion of "Bouquet"?"
"It's fun."
Liu Yifei was quiet and easy-going, her steps paused slightly, and a smile bloomed on her face: "Actually, I didn't expect the box office to be so high, I am very grateful to the audience for their love, and I also thank the director, I think most of the credit is his." ”
"Zhou Yutang doesn't seem to have participated in the roadshow."
"Director Zhou participated in the first half, he has a tight schedule, and there is still a drama in his hand, so I'll run more."
"Yifei, do you know that?"
Yu Ji began to do things: "You are working hard outside to promote the roadshow, but Zhou Yutang lingers in nightclubs, and you rekindled your old relationship with Zhou Xun last night?" ”
"Huh?"
Liu Yifei and Aunt Liu were stunned for a moment.
The smile on Aunt Liu's face disappeared instantly, but Liu Yifei looked calm: "I don't know very well, it should be a party between friends, if it wasn't for the busy work, I would also like to sing K with my friends"
Miss Xiao Liu and Shu Chang are well-known iron-blooded best friends, and their relationship with Zhou Xun is not bad.
At the beginning, Zhou Yutang threw her to Zhou Xun to teach acting, and Zhou Gongzi's teaching method was very distinctive, taking Miss Liu to go shopping, sing K, and have a lot of fun.
All kinds of unserious business, acting skills have not improved, but the two have become best friends.
The matter of going to Xiao Wang's club, Zhou Yutang mentioned it when chatting with Tianxian that night.
Liu Yifei didn't think that Zhou Yutang would have anything to do with Zhou Xun at all, this was not Xiao Zhou's dish at all.
She's confident in herself!
That same evening.
This has been fully confirmed.
The clouds disperse and the rain is harvested, after cultivating immortals.
Liu Yifei leaned next to Zhou Yutang, said a bunch of interesting things she encountered during the roadshow, and then asked: "Xiao Zhou, you are about to join the group next, right?" ”
"Hmm."
Zhou Yutang hugged Liu Tianxian with just the right amount of softness and roundness, and couldn't help but kiss her lightly on the cheek.
"And what about the celebration feast?"
"Let Sister Shuang arrange it, the shooting time is a little tight."
"Oh."
Liu Yifei stroked her hair: "I also received a lot of notices, and I will come back to continue acting in dramas after the performance, do you think I can win awards in the future?" ”
"Believe in yourself, of course."
Zhou Yutang's hand gently slid over the body of the Heavenly Immortal condensed like fat snow.
"Really?"
There was light in Miss Liu's eyes.
"Of course it is."
The warm and soft feel brought by the delicate curve forced Zhou Yutang to say something against his will.
In all fairness.
Xiao Liu's acting talent is not top-notch.
But at least people are willing to try.
As the man behind her, he must stand up and support him.
After the start-up press conference, before Liu Yifei returned to the capital, Zhou Yutang also took the time to stay with the beauty in Tsing Yi for a few days.
After accompanying the beauty in Tsing Yi to watch "Bouquet", the first sister of Jiangdong was about to go to "Introduction to Architecture" as a producer, and he also bid farewell to Gentle Township and arrived at the crew of "Demon Thieves" in a low-key manner.
Although others are not there, the entire crew framework has been set up.
Guo Fan, Wen Muye, and Lu Yang will serve as assistant directors, and they are fiercely arguing about the storyboard artwork, and Chen Xi is explaining things to the director of photography, art director, special effects team leader and others.
Oh, and Han Jianu is also there, she belongs to the mascot of the crew.
Chen Xi straightened his back and had a small face, quite like an ace producer: "Director Zhou said that for special effects, no matter how much money is spent, you must do your best." ”
An investment budget of 200 million is no joke.
The crew has more than 20 special effects teams, with a total of more than 900 people.
The core shots were handed over to Vision Media and Warner mercenaries, and the other secondary shots were outsourced.
"This time, the shooting time is short, the main focus is on post-production, and I want to bring a dazzling visual feast to the audience."
Zhou Yutang poured chicken soup into the main creators of the crew: "The colorful stage, the dazzling lights, the flying ribbons, and the dazzling 360° rotating lens, I want to make the audience feel as if they are really in the special performance of a famous magician and watch an unparalleled show."
There is a translator communicating with the top special effects experts on Warner's side, and the white fat man, the head of the special effects mercenaries there, is also very excited, and he can't wait to do it right away.
Chen Xi came over to report his work: "Boss, Deng Chao may have to join the group a few days late, and he wants to promote "The Four Famous Catches". ”
"Let him as soon as possible, the shooting cycle here is a bit tight."
Zhou Yutang nodded and continued to discuss the plot with the three generals.
The film and television projects he himself participated in are not the kind of nominal producers, and the production structure is usually U-shaped.
That is, the preparation period is long in the front, the shooting period in the middle is short, and the post-production is long.
The film was prepared for nearly a year in the early stage, and according to the industrialization process of commercial film production in Hollywood, the storyboard was animated before the film started.
Cut while shooting, and keep up with the post-synchronization.
But when things come to an end, it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of accidents, and the actors' schedules will be very troublesome.
Zhou Yutang himself pushed a bunch of announcements, and Hu Ge was easy to say, but Deng Chao had his own company.
The current Deng Chao is also a first-line male star in the circle, with high commercial value.
He not only has "Shocking Demon Thieves" in his hand, but also a "Celestial Empire Partner" below, and he also has to find time to record a running man variety show during the period.
This time in the past, he participated in the publicity work of "The Four Famous Catches", and it was also a special greeting from the old king of light, and this face had to be given no matter what.
The main creator of the crew joined the group one after another, and read the script before the start of filming.
"Let's talk about the character design first."
Zhou Yutang began: "The male protagonist Akai is the king of the K organization who left clues in "League of Thieves", and he is good at changing playing cards, and this technique often captures the hearts of female audiences, so it corresponds to the lover's card meaning. ”
"Deng Chao's Guan Yin, whose identity is the hermit card among the four knights of the K organization, is good at hypnosis and mind reading, and has been performing on world tours for many years, but he was swept away by his brother who is also an agent, leaving him alone."
"Hu Jie, who is played by Lao Hu, is proficient in lockpicking, corresponds to the Grim Reaper card, and has several thrilling escapes."
"And then there's Molly from Naza, who is good at escape, a priestess of the Four Knights of the K-Organization, and was also Akai's assistant."
Speaking of this, Gulnazza raised his hand: "Director, I think we can add an emotional line between Molly and Akai, which will attract the audience more." ”
Are you trying to attract an audience?
Several people turned their eyes in unison, and they saw that Gulnazar blushed a little.
If there is nothing to do, he will come to Zhou Yutang, even a blind man can see what Gu Li Nazha thinks about him.
"That's not the theme and selling point of the movie."
Zhou Yutang said calmly.
Originally, there was also an emotional line between Zhang Yi and Masami Nagasawa, but it was cut off by Zhou Yutang.
His version of "Shocking Demon Thieves", in order to pass the trial, involves the blurring of the domestic reality background.
Some of the settings in the movie are the same as the original plot, such as the identity of the Four Horsemen.
It is mainly a more reasonable explanation of the behavioral motives of several protagonists, and at the same time it also serves the layout of the entire cinematic universe.
The overall plot has also been changed, with Akai's family feuds and grievances as the main line, and 3 unprecedented stunning magic shows as the main breaking point.
The last villain BOSS originally belonged to another mysterious organization, and killed Akai's father, the king of the previous generation of K-organization, Akai who inherited his father's god-level talent, and when he grew up, he came back for revenge.
The Four Horsemen are his most faithful companions, while Yumoto's role is that of a bystander.
Through his mouth, he explained the cracking and guessing of magic, and the person in charge of the protagonist group appeared in front of him, and through the perspective of Old Man You, he gave the audience's shocked reaction from several angles.
It is more layered to bring out the forced style of the protagonist group.
The main line is the revenge plan of the male protagonist Akai, and the three dazzling magic shows are the process.
Through the perspective of the police, clues are obtained from the objects of each magic show, and so the plot progresses layer by layer, and finally leads to the final boss.
Then the four knights teamed up to lay out the final show and kill the final villain BOSS, only to find that the villain BOSS had a Q tattoo on his body.
Dig another pit.
The movie started quickly, and a few simple shots in the early stage were shot very smoothly, and today's shooting is the blood sacrifice ceremony of Gulnazha who escaped under the mouth of a piranha.
Zhou Yutang came to the scene to watch the set, and the external producer in charge of the props introduced him diligently: "Director Zhou, this water tank prop is in accordance with your requirements, I specially invited a folk handicraft expert, and it took 300,000 yuan to make it, absolutely professional and easy to use."
"300,000?"
"That craftsman from Baoding, Hebei Province charges a lot of money."
"Look at the effect."
"I'll demonstrate."
The life producer in charge of the props demonstrated the operation of this water tank to Zhou Yutang.
There are switches up and down, which can be controlled freely.
There are a lot of folk handicraft experts, and the prop master who makes this prop can add chicken legs.
Although Zhou Yutang suspected that this external producer had taken a kickback, he did not break it.
It's normal to take kickbacks in the crew, as long as the people below don't look too ugly and can do things in place, he basically turns a blind eye when he sees it.
This water tank is an important prop for the scene that Gulnazar is going to shoot today.
Because of the limited time of the whole movie, in order to let the audience have a clear understanding of the abilities of the Four Horsemen, everyone arranged a simple appearance scene.
Nazha is good at escape techniques, and the main purpose of his appearance is to highlight this.
There was a 60-second countdown watch hanging from the scene, and the hands and feet were tied with locked chains.
She needs to untie the locked chains and escape the tank within the time limit.
Otherwise, she will be swallowed by a vat full of piranhas poured down from the top of her head.
Nervous, exciting.
Just looking at it can give you an adrenaline rush.
"Is there a problem?"
Zhou Yutang went over and glanced at Guli Nazha and found that she was a little nervous.
"I can, director."
For today's scene, Gulnazar also went to learn to swim for a few months.
"Camera crew, how is the camera ready?"
"Ready, Director Zhou."
"OK, attention, departments."
"Touch-up."
"Live, Quiet, 3, 2, 1, Go!"
When the board was written on the spot, the eyes of the group performers on the scene, including Chen Xi, couldn't help but focus on Guli Naza.
A wave of amazement rose in everyone's hearts.
No wonder they all said to believe in Zhou Yutang's vision.
The two NPCs around her locked Gulna's hands and feet, and then ripped off the coat that was wrapped around her.
The delicate face, the silver deep V short skirt, revealing the skin of the frost and snow, and the beautiful legs of the white flowers, refracted the light that made people's hearts beat under the light.
The scene began to let out a roar of excitement like a ghost crying wolf and a wolf.
Poof!
The thrilling natural stunner of beauty, like a mermaid, fell into the water box.
