After dealing with Yu Tian and Li Qinqin with a few vague words, they immediately organized on-site shooting.
First paragraph.
Lion Grove Back Garden.
The daughter of the king expressed her love to Tang Seng.
According to the script.
Director Yang made major changes to the original work, especially the trajectory of Elder Tang’s psychological activities.
In the original work.
The character Tang Seng is completely indifferent to the love between men and women in the world, and has a heart of stone. In Director Yang's opinion, this is not in line with the psychology of normal people at all.
Modified.
Tang Seng became a living person, and for a time he had a confused heart and true love for his dignified, beautiful and tender daughter, the King.
But after he thought that he had penetrated deeply into Buddhism and shouldered the great trust of Li Shimin, he finally gave up the most beautiful love in the world for the great cause of learning Buddhist scriptures. He flatly rejected the courtship of his daughter, the king, cut off the love, and firmly embarked on the road of learning scriptures.
Hide all the pain in your heart.
After the script was revised by Director Yang, the whole scene became more flexible, the actors could get into the scene quickly, and the emotions became more intense.
Yu Tian had nothing to do and didn't want to be disturbed, so he stood behind Director Yang Jie and watched him telling the actors the script and precautions.
Half an hour later.
Zhu Xiaolin and Tang Seng were ready to start shooting.
The Lion Forest was closed and Yu Tian could not enter, so he sat outside and chatted with Sun Wukong who was resting.
"You did a good job, thank you for your hard work."
Yu Tian said with a smile.
"well..."
Sun Wukong shook his head, "It's really hard work. It's exhausting... The crew is short of money and can't attract investment. Didn't you see that our clothes are all torn? Many supporting roles are played by one person."
In the 1986 version of Journey to the West, one person does play multiple roles.
Sun Wukong has played the roles of Chang'an Tea Guest, Nine-Tailed Fox, Che Chi Guo Taoist, Young Monk of Guanyin Yuan, Zong Zuofeng, Bai Wuchang and dozens more.
Zhu Bajie also plays more than 20 roles such as a passerby from Nanfangbuzhou, a Taoist priest from Xianyue Sanxing Cave, a Tongbei monkey, a charioteer and groom, a heavenly soldier, etc.
Even the most insignificant Sha Seng played the role of the Dragon King of the West Sea.
The crew is also really short of money.
Although CCTV invested three million.
But in order to make the film perfect, Director Yang led his team to search for locations in 19 provinces across the country. Just arranging accommodation and meals for the actors was no longer a small sum of money.
Coupled with the expensive production costs of post-production special effects and the remuneration of extras, it costs hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands each time to start the movie.
This also caused the TV series originally planned to have 25 episodes to run out of money halfway through filming.
Director Yang was also worried about this matter at this time.
But that's what Yu Tian came for.
Because he knew that he only needed to contact an opportunity to attract 3 million sponsorship for the Journey to the West crew.
No need to do too much.
Just follow the script exactly as it should have been in your previous life.
soon.
After the filming of the morning scene was completed, Director Yang was already covered in sweat when he went out.
"Not bad! Let's continue in the afternoon, Xiaolin, you and Shaohua should take a break and recuperate!"
Zhu Xiaolin and Tang Seng went to the side to sit and play together, only looking at Yu Tian from time to time.
Yu Tian nodded to her.
When Director Yang came out, he immediately greeted her and offered to shoot commercials and stills for Zhu Xiaolin to promote.
"no."
Director Yang really refused, which greatly delayed the crew's filming process.
Li Qinqin was still advising on the side, "Brother Yu, don't disturb Director Yang. If it doesn't work, just forget it. We'll wait until Xiaolin finishes filming. Anyway, Jiang Xiaoli and I are enough."
Yu Tian disagreed.
He followed closely behind Director Yang and said as he walked, "I'm not taking up Zhu Xiaolin and the crew's time in vain. Three million is okay. I'll get you three million in investment. The condition is that the crew cooperates with me in filming and promoting it."
How much?
Director Yang was stunned for a moment!
three million...
She really needs funds now.
CCTV had originally promised to give her three million, but the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" applied earlier and the money went to them.
to this end.
CCTV also wants the Journey to the West crew to stop filming.
Director Yang finally got the opportunity to continue filming, but the condition was to raise investment himself.
How can it be so easy to attract investment?
It can't be done just by talking.
so.
After hearing that Yu Tian could bring in three million yuan soon, Director Yang's eyes immediately lit up and he asked in surprise, "Really? Please tell me again how much it will be!"
"three million!"
Yu Tian vowed to do so.
The sound was so loud that the Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, Monk Sha and other actors all gathered around.
Li Qinqin was also stunned.
I thought Boss Yu was really crazy!
In order to support this Zhu Xiaolin, do you want to spend three million?
Little did I know.
Yu Tian didn't need to spend a cent of this money at all, because someone had already prepared to invest, but the two parties had not negotiated and cooperated, and there was only one opportunity left.
And he.
It's just a matter of borrowing flowers and offering them to Buddha, a little earlier, to connect these two things together.
Director Yang immediately agreed.
There is no reason not to agree.
shoot!
Don’t mention promotional photos of the crew, anything will do!
This is great.
Yu Tian took the opportunity to sign another cooperation clause, buying out the advertising rights of Monkey King and other actors for twenty years.
Don’t spend a penny!
It will be of great use in the future!
only.
Director Yang agreed, but she demanded that the promise must be fulfilled after the investment was completed.
"no problem."
Yu Tian already had a plan in mind and immediately went out to call China Railway No. 11 Bureau.
There was a veteran cadre named Jin Zilong from the 11th Bureau of China Railway to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. He was also a soldier writer, and he especially liked Journey to the West.
In his previous life, he learned by chance that the crew of Journey to the West was short of money, and especially helped contact the old leader of China Railway No. 11 Bureau to get investment.
as expected.
This time is the same as last time.
After Jin Zilong learned that the crew was having difficulties, he immediately contacted the old leader.
The next morning.
The 11th Bureau responded to the letter and invited the financial staff and publicity staff of the Journey to the West crew to come over and negotiate in person.
Director Yang didn't go.
Shaohua, the actor who plays Tang Monk, went there in person.
The third day.
Shaohua called back and told Director Yang that the 11th Bureau agreed to sponsor, and the funds were three million, which would be available at any time!
Director Yang was so happy!
no sooner said than done.
Let Yu Tian shoot whatever he wants.
Yu Tian immediately contacted Chuncheng and the newspaper and asked people to come over with clothing samples and photography and art staff to take pictures.
Jiang Xiaoli is also here.
Sioux City happened to have beautiful scenery, so we decided to shoot the entire advertisement here.
Zhu Xiaolin was even more happy.
We cooperated very well and took more than 400 photos.
Including photos of daily life wearing various costumes from Persian garment factories and snow boots, as well as photos of the set of her daughter King, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity for her to become famous.
Only Li Qinqin was not happy. It can be seen from the photos that her smile was a little perfunctory. It was difficult to choose a few good ones, and she also hired a photographer to take some private photos.
night.
A group of people escorted Zhu Xiaolin back to the set.
Director Yang specially treated us to a meal.
Let's have a banquet.
Yu Tian said goodbye and returned to the capital overnight.
Early September.
Huaqing will start school tomorrow, and he has to accompany Li Wanrou to attend the opening ceremony.
But before bidding farewell to Li Qinqin, she suddenly handed Yu Tian an envelope.
"Don't let others see it. There are my secrets in the photos inside. If you like it, come to me at any time."
secret?
Yu Tianyi frowned.
When looking again.
Li Qinqin had already stopped a car and headed back to Beijing Film Academy.
