"In order to keep this skin, it must devour people's hearts, and it must float around."

"No one knows who you are, you can only hide under this skin."

Zhou Xun was wearing a white fur jacket, leaning lazily on the bed, revealing his shoulders and legs as white as jade, and looking at the camera with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, click!"

Wu Yuan shouted with satisfaction: "This is over!" ”

He took the walkie-talkie and said happily: "Brother Xun, you vixen, you are really good at acting." ”

Seriously, before the official start of "Painted Skin", whether it was the crew or Han Dong and other investors, they were very puzzled that Wu Yuan wanted Zhou Xun to play a fox spirit.

Zhou Xun, what is everyone's impression of her?

Quirky, cute, energetic, and grinning.

None of these words have anything to do with "vixen".

Even her appearance is not the type of charm, her beauty is the kind of generous beauty, and her face is more round and jade.

But when Zhou Xun really put on the costume, did the makeup of "Xiao Wei", and lay lazily on the collapse like this, without any words, everyone could really feel the charm from her.

This kind of charm is not the kind of charm of "Daji" in the stereotype, it is another kind of charm, which only belongs to Zhou Xun.

In fact, the role of "Xiao Wei" is also different from the stereotypical vixen, although she can also charm men, she also pays her heart for Wang Sheng.

The little only point in "Painted Skin" is not profligate, she fell in love with Wang Sheng after she was rescued, and wanted to replace Wang Sheng's wife, everything she did was for love.

This is also the reason why the character of "Xiao Yui" is difficult to be hated by the audience after the movie is released.

Wu Yuan doesn't need a "sauger" vixen, but a vixen with a true temperament.

In this case, Zhouxun's performance is very suitable.

"The director is too good at casting." Brother Liu, the cameraman of the crew, said to his assistant with emotion: "Everyone was not optimistic about Zhou Xun to play the fox spirit before. ”

"I didn't expect this to be really filmed, and the acting is so good."

The assistant seemed to be a fan of Zhou Xun, and he said proudly: "Brother Xun'er can't shoot well?" ”

"The most spiritual actress in the country is not a joke."

"The box office of "If Love" is 40 million!"

"The dancer that Brother Xun played in it is so beautiful!"

Wu Yuan didn't know that his subordinates were discussing the weekly news, and after he praised it, he carefully checked the photographed materials again, and waved his hand with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll shoot here today!" ”

"Call it a day!"

"Transfer tomorrow, pack up and go to Yinchuan together!"

All the crew responded excitedly, and immediately cleaned up the set with their hands and feet.

Zhou Xun was also wrapped in a white-fur jacket, walked down barefoot from the bed, deliberately ran to Wu Yuan's side, and reached out to tease his chest.

"Director Wu, I'm a vixen, is it expressive?"

Wu Yuan was speechless and knocked off Zhou Xun's little hand of rubbing oil, "Expressive, very expressive, it is not in vain that I try my best to choose to play Xiao Wei." ”

The main characters of "Painted Skin" did not audition, and it was set when Wu Yuan's house was eating hot pot at that time.

Later, when the crew was preparing, Wu Yuan was also arbitrary, and directly sent invitations to these actors and asked them to sign contracts, without even trying the play.

In the eyes of Zhou Xun Chen Kun and others, Wu Yuan's behavior is undoubtedly full of trust.

They also wanted to live up to Wu Yuan's trust, and after joining the group, they went all out and took this movie seriously.

No longer joking, Zhou Xun looked whole and asked seriously: "Will you transfer to Yinchuan tomorrow?" ”

"Yes, I filmed all the scenes on location, and it just so happened that we also went to participate in the Golden Rooster Award together." Wu Yuan responded.

Some of the scenes in "Painted Skin" were filmed in the Gobi Desert in the northwest, which was originally suitable for filming in Ningxia.

And now the Golden Rooster Awards are all held in Yinchuan, and for Wu Yuan, doing the two things together is obviously the most time-saving and labor-saving.

The next day, September 8, Wu Yuan flew to Ningxia and Yinchuan with all the members of the "Painted Skin" group.

There is a film and television city in Yinchuan, or a film and television base.

This film and television city was first built in the Ming Dynasty, when it was called "Zhenbei Fort", and was a frontier fortress in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Later, in the 80s of the last century, it was discovered and noticed by domestic filmmakers, and gradually became a popular movie and TV series filming location.

The classic movie "Wrangler" was filmed here, and Xing Ye's "Journey to the West" was also filmed here.

The most classic building of this film and television city is the tall city gate.

Supreme Treasure and Zixia Fairy kissed each other at this city gate, and also left the classic line that became popular all over the Internet ten years later.

"Look at him, he looks like a dog!"

Wu Yuan took the crew of "Painted Skin" and transferred all the staff here on September 10.

Of course, the current Yinchuan Film and Television City has not really become a film and television city, and the famous "Old Yinchuan Street" scenic spot has not yet been built.

At present, Yinchuan Film and Television City is still the main simple, primitive, rugged and desolate style, restoring the appearance of the historical ancient city.

Of course, "Painted Skin" can't simply be filmed here.

In fact, one of Wu Yuan's assistant directors had already brought people here a month in advance, and according to Wu Yuan's requirements and drawings, he set up exterior locations outside Yinchuan Film and Television City.

After the crew arrived here, they basically rested in the film and television city after finishing work, and they needed to go to the location set up five or six hundred meters away from the film and television city to shoot.

And as soon as it came up, it was a big scene.

Wang Sheng, played by Chen Kun, took his Wang Jiajun to return from the battlefield in the Western Regions, and Xiao Wei was also rescued by Wang Sheng at this time.

It's not that Wu Yuan hasn't filmed this kind of big scene of dispatching many people.

Whether it is the pirate battle in "Pirates of the Caribbean 1", or when he was the executive director in his dream, he commanded such a big scene.

However, Chen Kun, the leading actor, is the first time to film a war scene.

Looking at Chen Kun, who was fully armed and wearing thick armor, Wu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

is different from Chen Jiashang's version of "Painted Skin", as a mainland director with strong roots, Wu Yuan specially invited an expert in the archaeology of Han Dynasty costumes from the Huaxia Institute of Archaeology as a consultant when preparing the crew.

The costumes of the crew's costume department and the costumes made for the actors are all imitation of the Han Dynasty style, including the armor is also Han Dynasty armor.

Like the ugly ear cover hat worn by Chen Kun in Chen Jiashang's movie, it is impossible to appear in Wu Yuan's crew.

There is no way, when Chen Jiashang filmed "Painted Skin", most of the domestic films used Japanese designers in costume design.

Zhang Yimou has to take the blame for this, starting from "Hero" to "Ambush on All Sides", Zhang Yimou uses Japanese stylists, and "The City is Full of Golden Armor" is also.

Later, Feng Xiaogang learned this when he filmed "Night Banquet".

The big directors have done this, so other directors must follow suit.

Therefore, even if Chen Jiashang used a costume designer from Hong Kong Island, in terms of clothing design, he did not restore the background of the Han Dynasty, and some very inconsistent costumes appeared, and even soldiers wore chain mail.

Wu Yuan doesn't do this.

None of his team have been trained in Japanese fashion design, and all of them are domestic fashion designers.

His costume designer was taught by Mr. Li Jinxiang, the stylist who was the 1993 version of the "Three Kingdoms" TV series.

Coupled with the off-site academic support of professional costume archaeology professors, you can't go wrong with the exquisite costumes of "Painted Skin".

At this time, Chen Kun was wearing a popular Xuanjia in the Han Dynasty, also known as Zha Jia.

Because he is a general, he wears the highest grade fish scale armor, thousands of pieces of iron are densely sewn together, and the inside is filled with cooked cowhide, which will not be very comfortable to wear, but full of security.

As for the soldiers he led, each of them wore leather armor made of cooked cowhide to protect their chests and backs.

Just these armors for the soldiers, the crew spent more than one million yuan to produce.

Coupled with the costumes of other actors and group performances, just spent on costume production, and the crew of "Painted Skin" spent a small five million.

It's called a blockbuster!

"All set, get on the horse and get ready to shoot!" Wu Yuan shouted with a loudspeaker.

The little fifty herdsmen who were recruited from Ningxia and could ride horses immediately jumped onto the horse, stretched out their hands to stroke the horse's head, and calmed the restless horses.

Chen Kun also took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and with the help of his assistant, rode his horse.

Yes, Chen Kun can ride a horse now.

Wu Yuan let him practice horseback riding at the equestrian base in Huairou in the capital half a year in advance.

Chen Kun didn't have any complaints, and practiced riding for half a year very cooperatively.

In these days, all the movies of big directors require real shooting, including circus or something, and it is impossible to use stand-ins or fake horses.

Even TV series with stricter requirements must be filmed by real people to ride horses.

Liu Yifei has also been learning to ride a horse recently, just because she also had a horseback riding scene when she was filming "The Condor Heroes".

Bearded people are so strict with actors, it makes no sense that Wu Yuan would allow him to use a stand-in because he has a good relationship with Chen Kun.

After the group performers and Chen Kun who were the little fifty guards rode on their horses, they were followed by one or two hundred group performers in leather armor, and the group of people was running briskly on the desolate Gobi.

The smoke and dust rolled up the wind and sand, and the scene of a large army returning to the fortress jumped out.

The desert, lonely smoke, and sunset are the background, and the black and red army marches in it.

"Good, lift up!" Sitting behind the monitor, Wu Yuan shouted excitedly.

This scene, this picture, is so beautiful!

He believes that after the movie is released, this scene will become one of the classic scenes of the movie!

[Director Wu Yuan's new work starts, and after filming high school students shoot "Painted Skin"! ] 】

[The first magic-themed movie in China, Wu Yuan, the director of Hollywood, is personally at the helm! ] 】

["Painted Skin" spent 150 million Yinchuan to shoot, and Zhou Xun played the most beautiful "fox spirit"]

["Painted Skin" was officially launched, and Leslie Cheung and Sun Li teamed up to "catch" Zhou Xun! ] 】

[150 million investment, Oriental New Magic Action Art Giant! ] "Painted Skin" officially started filming! 】

Although Wu Yuan rejected Han Dong's Beijing start-up ceremony for "Painted Skin", this does not mean that "Painted Skin" will be launched, and Han Dong will not publicize it everywhere.

Just when Wu Yuan was filming "Painted Skin" in Yinchuan, from Sohu Entertainment on the Internet to the major offline print media, they all rushed to report the news of the launch of "Painted Skin".

The five leading actors have also been announced, and the lineup composed of Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Zhang Guorong, Zeng Li, and Sun Li is also good in the current mainland film industry.

After learning the news, many fans had a strong expectation for the movie "Painted Skin" and chatted on the Internet.

"Paint the skin? Is that an adaptation of "Strange Tales"? ”

"Is it the mainland adaptation of "The Yin and Yang Mage of Painted Skin" performed by Wang Zuxian and Zheng Shaoguan?"

"No, the last person who played the skin girl ghost was Wang Zuxian! Even if Zhou Xun is indeed beautiful, it can't compare, right? ”

"How did Director Wu run to adapt the story of "Liao Zhai", which has been a theme that has been broken by Hong Kong Island movies."

"The story of the painted skin is a little too old-fashioned, it's boring."

It is normal for there to be disapproval and opposition.

Before Wu Yuan, Hong Kong Island had already made at least six or seven versions of painted skin movies, throwing away some peach-colored versions, and then throwing away some of the classic movies that had no splash when they were released, as well as the classic movie "Painted Skin: Yin and Yang Mage".

Wang Zuxian's painting of the female ghost left a very deep impression on the mainland audience.

Now that Wu Yuan is also going to shoot "Painted Skin", it will definitely be compared, and Zhou Xun and Wang Zuxian, at least on the surface, are really not comparable.

Wang Zuxian was the goddess of Asia back then, from the fire of the two sides of the strait to Japan and South Korea and then to Southeast Asia, she was the dream goddess of the whole Asian generation.

Now that Zhou Xun wants to play a role played by Wang Zuxian, it is impossible to say that fans do not question it.

Of course, there are still a few voices that oppose and disapprove.

"This is Wu Yuan's movie, will he simply remake a Hong Kong Island movie? It's definitely a new magical story! ”

"I haven't seen the reporter who said it, this is the first magic blockbuster in China, Wu Yuan is the director of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and his magic blockbuster is looking forward to it!"

"The more classic the story, the more difficult it is to shoot, but I must be looking forward to Wu Yuan coming to shoot "Painted Skin", he is the director who is the best at making this kind of magic movie in China!"

"Wu Yuan's movie still needs to be questioned? Everyone is rushing to invite them in Hollywood, and if they can come back to make a movie for our mainland audiences, they should be secretly happy! ”

"I'm the only one who doesn't care about Painted Skin and just wants to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 2."

After the battle of "Your Name", young people in China are now a little blind to worship Wu Yuan.

It's not just because of the status and strength he has achieved in Hollywood, which is hard to match.

is also because Wu Yuan really knows how to make movies that young people love to watch, and he is the only director in China who really pays attention to young people's viewing experience.

Many young people saw that Wu Yuan's new commercial film had started filming, regardless of 3721, they all supported it on the Internet, saying that they must go to the cinema to cheer them on.

I don't know if this is the so-called "rice circle".

Anyway, Wu Yuan is very pleased, what he wants is influence in the young people.

Five or six years later, this group of young people is the main movie-watching group during the box office explosion of the movie!

It was they who walked into the cinema with their parents and their children, supporting the 2010-2015 mainland movie box office explosion!

In this way, Wu Yuan gave the crew two days off with a happy mood.

It's not that he gave the crew a holiday because he was praised on the Internet.

It's that he, Zhang Guorong, Chen Kun, and Zhou Xun are going to attend the award ceremony of the Golden Rooster Awards.

Early in the morning of September 19, the four of them took a bus back to the city.

In the hotel arranged by the organizers of the Golden Rooster, several people changed into formal clothes and dresses under the arrangement of the stylist, and went to the award ceremony.
