Because the special effects are being done while filming, the current progress can definitely keep up with this year's summer schedule.
As for "Li Bai", after the filming was completed by Lu Liang, the post-production work was started slowly.
A few years ago, everyone expected it to be released in the summer.
But now, firstly, the post-production work is still incomplete, and secondly, it collides with "Nezha 2".
It's not a good idea for one's own people to beat one's own people.
Therefore, the schedule of "Li Bai" was immediately postponed.
Qi Ji naturally devoted himself to the filming of "Butterfly Lovers" again.
But within a few days of filming, and only ten scenes away from the completion of "Butterfly Lovers", the crew of "Soldier Assault" came to visit again.
Lu Liang found many actors to play the role of Xu Sanduo, but he himself felt that the role was not what he wanted.
So this time I came to Qi Ji to find an actor suitable for this role.
The character Xu Sanduo is honest, loyal, humble, tough, and tolerant of others.
Especially the purity of his heart - this is a man who cannot tolerate any sand in himself.
With this kind of personality, Baoqiang was really the most suitable one when looking at the entertainment industry in his previous life.
Qi Ji searched his memory for current Chinese stars and found that there was indeed no actor of Wang Baoqiang's type.
So we can only settle for the next best thing.
Choose among the six actors who have a more suitable image identified by director Lu Liang.
After two rounds of auditions, an actor in his early twenties named Sun Changjin finally got the role.
Sun Changjin himself has a military background, so there is no problem with his overall temperament and image.
In addition, he does not have the so-called handsomeness that is popular among today's traffickers.
His skin is a bit dark.
His character in dealing with people is something that Lu Liang values very much about this guy.
"Okay, let's make a decision then. Time is very tight. Our drama must be broadcast in August. By then, it will contribute to our military recruitment cause!" Lu Liang gently patted Sun Changjin's shoulder.
, said with a smile.
Today was the second time he saw Sun Changjin, and he was quite impressed by the young man's modesty.
After walking around the world for a long time, Lu Liang could tell at a glance whether a young man's humility in front of others was an act.
Qi Ji also said: "You should act well this time. This is a great opportunity!"
Sun Changjin could only nod his head yes.
Because he was so excited that he was a little disoriented.
This is "Soldier Assault"!
This is a top-notch military drama directed by Lu Liang, written by Qi Ji, and endorsed by the above!
This is a TV series that countless actors and actresses in the industry can't wait to jump on!
Its male lead actually fell to a young actor like me?
You know, I just came out of military arts, and I haven’t even played the second male lead yet!
Is this the male lead who directly becomes the main theme of this kind of drama?
Sun Changjin took a deep breath and expressed his determination to Lu Liang and Qi Ji: "Director Lu, Director Qi, don't worry. Starting from today, I will read the script carefully every day, figure out the thoughts of the characters, and shape the characters well!"
Lu Liang said: "If you don't understand something, ask me more. It will probably take half a month before the crew officially starts filming. But because this time, we were given a green channel throughout the whole process, so when the filming of the show actually starts,
It is very fast. Of course it will also be very difficult, so you must be mentally prepared to endure hardship!”
Lu Liang attaches great importance to the drama "Soldier Assault".
As the only director in the 20 billion box office club in China so far.
In fact, Lu Liang hasn't filmed a TV series for a long, long time.
Because for capital, investing in Lu Liang's filming is the most profitable thing.
It also took three months to shoot.
A movie may only have a few hundred shots and a hundred minutes.
It can be polished carefully back and forth.
But for TV series, there are dozens of episodes.
Many times, the details may not be so perfect.
Because the director is under huge financial pressure.
A crew is pulled together, whether filming or not.
Every day, the funds used are six or even seven figures.
This has resulted in a lot of TV dramas, but it’s not that they don’t want to be well-produced.
But due to the pressure of time and money, I didn’t dare to take more photos.
Therefore, many TV drama directors hold the idea of "Okay, this one is okay, then let's make the next one quickly".
But when it comes to Lu Liang...
After all, he has a good reputation.
Even if he "marries" to film a TV series.
So the entire filming and production of "Soldier Assault" will definitely be in accordance with his high requirements for filming movies.
So Qi Ji is not worried about this at all.
I believe that under the leadership of Director Lu, "Soldier Assault" can be successfully completed.
The news that Sun Changjin got the male lead of "Soldier Assault" spread quickly.
This made many actors in the entire circle feel sour.
"Damn it, I have worked with Director Lu three times, and I thought Director Lu would come to me this time! I went to the audition in vain!"
"You can't say that. If you have the chance to audition, you have already surpassed many people!"
"The only thing I can't understand is that in this kind of drama, why not choose a more popular person to be the male lead? After all, I heard that it is a recruitment advertisement! If this male lead is more popular, the publicity effect will definitely be better.
!”
"Haha! But... most of my brothers' fans are female... What's the use of attracting them to watch the show!"
"But what kind of cat and dog is Sun Changjin? He actually defeated so many famous actors and got this role?"
"Could it be that Qi Ji made the decision? After all, Qi Ji's status as a screenwriter is extraordinary!"
Many media also reported this incident.
[The male lead of the new drama "Soldier Assault" co-written by Qi Ji and Lu Liang has been confirmed! 】
[Half-newcomer Sun Changjin! Can he afford a big production like "Soldier Assault"? 】
[Appearance wins? Why was Sun Changjin chosen by Qi Ji and Lu Liang!]
[What does it mean to be a chosen one? Sun Changjin jumped over the dragon gate. How did he do it? 】
It has to be said that the combined popularity of Qi Ji and Lu Liang is unprecedented.
"Soldier Assault" is still in the preparation stage, but it has already received so much attention.
It can be said that it became popular before it was broadcast.
Netizens are naturally paying attention to the news about this drama at all times.
"Hahaha! I saw that after "In the Name of the People" became popular, did you ask Qi Ji to save the day?"
"I heard that the role that Sun Changjin got this time was very competitive among male artists from all over the world! But I didn't expect it to be won by a little-known actor! There are so many actors.
They’re all mad!”
"These people are used to being praised by capital! Really capable directors...Qi Ji and Lu Liang don't care about these people at all! Hahahaha! Well done!"
"I heard that our recruitment has not been ideal in recent years, so this time we want to spend some time on propaganda! Qi Ji plus Lu Liang, this top-notch configuration, the last time I saw it, was in "
Li Bai "It's up there!"
"Let me correct you. The screenwriter of "Li Bai" is Qing Teng... And our recruitment number can be increased by relying on Qi Ji and others to produce a TV series? If only things were that simple, that would be great
oh!"
night.
Qi Ji looked at the samples of "Li Bai" in the production studio of Banana Entertainment.
Li Bai, played by Li Dacheng, is dressed in green clothes and walks with a sword.
The atmosphere is just like what Li Bai said in his poem.
A thousand miles to kill one person, no mercy at all.
The quality of the film is still very good.
Qi Ji said: "The soundtrack of the film is not even interesting."
Lu Liang nodded aside, then looked at Qi Ji, half-smiling.
He specially dragged Qi Ji over to watch the samples today because of what Qi Ji said at this moment.
Seeing Lu Liang's expression, Qi Ji immediately understood and said immediately: "That's okay, I'll do it!"
May 10th, the crew of "Butterfly Lovers".
Today is the last scene of the crew.
It is also the last scene of the play Butterfly Lovers.
On her way to become a monk, Zhu Yingtai came to the place where Liang Shanbo was buried.
In order to pursue the best visual effects for this scene, Qi Ji waited for three full days before it arrived in rainy weather like today.
In this part of the movie, there were strong winds and yellow sand filling the sky.
Zhu Yingtai bit her finger in front of Liang Shanbo's tomb and wrote her name on his tombstone.
Then Liang Shanbo's tomb collapsed, revealing a large hole, and Zhu Yingtai jumped in.
We cannot sleep together in life, and we must share the same acupuncture point in death.
After filming this scene, the actress Zhu Lingzhi who played Zhu Yingtai almost exhausted all her strength.
After Qi Ji shouted "click", all the staff on site stood up.
Everyone applauded and cheered together.
"It's done, it's done!"
"Teacher Zhu's performance today was really amazing."
"Director Qi, can our movie be released during the Spring Festival?"
"Teacher Qi Ji does a good job! I feel that every teacher in our crew has made great progress under the guidance of Director Qi."
Zhu Lingzhi was sitting on a chair at the moment, taking off her makeup slowly.
There were still tears on her face.
This is evidence that she was deeply into the drama just now.
Qi Ji waved his hand to everyone, asking everyone to be quiet: "Okay, everyone must be present at our final banquet tonight. I also prepared a small red envelope for everyone. Those who didn't come, what's the big deal?
No."
The actor who plays Liang Shanbo is called Liang Dalong.
Because there are no scenes with him in the past two days, he has already left the group.
Hearing Qi Ji say that he wanted to give out red envelopes, the crew immediately cheered.
Zhu Lingzhi also stood next to Qi Ji and said with a smile: "Director Qi, it is really a pleasure to work with you. I hope we can have the opportunity to work together again next time."
Qi Ji is still very satisfied with Zhu Lingzhi's acting skills.
In the 1994 version of Butterfly Lovers, Yang Caini played the role of Zhu Yingtai.
Her temperament is fresh and pleasant.
Compared with her, Zhu Lingzhi was no less generous.
After several months of filming Butterfly Lovers, it was finally finished. Qi Ji was so busy that he could have a little leisure time.
Everyone enjoyed the closing banquet in the evening.
After so many busy months, especially the producer and assistant director, the crew relied on them to support Qi Ji when he participated in the national competition.
So Qi Ji also gave the two of them a big red envelope.
The closing banquet lasted until early in the morning, and everyone returned happily.
The team can take some time off.
But the post-editing work has just begun.
Naturally, Qi Jilai personally supervised the editing of the entire film.
He must control the overall style.
During the filming of "Butterfly Lovers", Qi Ji himself probably only spent half of the time staring at the scene.
So during some of the time when he was away, some of the shots he shot were unnecessary.
Although there are storyboards drawn by him, whether he was watching at the scene or not, what was photographed was still somewhat different from the scene in his mind.
And in the later stage of this time, Qi Ji wanted to have the same style as "Green Snake".
It just has a bit of a cult feel to it.
Therefore, Qi Ji put in a lot of effort in this post-editing work.
On the other hand, Qi Ji took the time to compose the soundtrack for "Li Bai".
"Li Bai" is a movie about a knight-errant.
Therefore, the overall soundtrack style is naturally Chinese-style.
It only took Qi Ji three days to complete this soundtrack.
After sending it to Lu Liang, he was very satisfied.
"The first draft can achieve this level of perfection. Looking at the entire music world, I think you should be the only one, Qi Ji." These are the exact words of Lu Liang's praise.
Qi Ji has now developed an immunity to these compliments.
In his heart, besides completing five thousand years.
What I want to win most right now is a few awards from the film industry.
The first is the domestic film circle, with the Golden Rainbow Awards and the Golden Dragon Awards.
Because the Golden Dragon Awards includes both movies and TV series, it is more commercial.
The Golden Rainbow Award is more literary and artistic.
But Qi Ji's films have never won these two awards.
The previous "Green Snake" was shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award.
But because he didn't win the award, Qi Ji didn't even go to the award ceremony.
Then there are several foreign awards...the three major awards in Europe, and Hollywood.
Qi Ji even wanted to win a prize.
Morning.
Qi Ji prepared breakfast for Qi Youning.
Seeing his daughter eating poached eggs obediently, Qi Ji said: "Ning Ning, do you think I can take care of you better than your mother?"
Mu Yunxiu went out to participate in a program these two days and was not at home.
Qi Youning glanced at Qi Ji and took a bite of egg white.
Seeing that his daughter was silent, Qi Ji said again: "Dad is asking you something."
Qi Youning immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, you only dare to ask me this question when mom is not around!"
She looked at Qi Ji with an innocent face.
Qi Ji touched the left side of his face in embarrassment: "Nonsense!"
Time flies by quickly, and another week has passed.
The draw ceremony for the eighth round of the national competition has officially begun.
