Chapter 160 Boot (Thank you brothers and sisters!)
Different from the low-profile of "Youth", "Death Comes 2" is constantly high-profile. After being released simultaneously in China, North America, and Europe, it has also begun to be released in other overseas regions one after another. Every day, there are frequent good news, and the king
Everyone in the studio was excited about it.
As of January 30, the box office in China has exceeded RMB 300 million. The global box office has reached an astonishing height of RMB 1.7 billion. This is just the box office performance of the first seven days, surpassing "Death Comes 1"
Box office is just around the corner.
The three Chinese main actors who participated in the movie "Death Comes 2" have also begun to become famous around the world. Many Hollywood film crews have already spotted them and want to invite them to participate in the movie.
These three Chinese actors are naturally grateful to Wang Shang. And they all graduated from the Magic City Film and Television University. This time they became famous, which naturally made the Magic City Film and Television University look brighter, and their attitude towards Tianwang Studio became even more enthusiastic.
February 1st.
After more than a month of preparation, the crew of "The Fast and the Furious" has finally been assembled.
DigitalSquirse directly sent a team of 8 special effects artists. In addition to Wang Shang's large price, it was also related to the cooperative relationship between the two parties. In addition to guiding the shooting, the special effects team would also bring special effects apprentices from Tianwang Studio with them.
Make special effects molds and produce them on-site to speed up the filming of the movie and save post-production time...
In addition to the special effects team, there is also a large team of photographers, lighting engineers, set designers, scene recorders, assistant directors, costumers, makeup, props, and other logistics teams. Because the movie will involve a lot of fighting, the action
A director is a must.
When talking about action director, everyone can't help but think of Hong Kong movies. Compared with film positions created in the West such as music, photography, art, and editing, it is the only film position born in China and dedicated to the world's film industry.
As an indispensable film position in action movies, action directors have different titles such as "martial arts director", "martial arts director", "action director", etc. As Chinese martial arts action movies enter the international market, action directors are experiencing a new trend in the Western world.
The process of popularization and unification.
Wang Shang directly took the list and selected Yuen Kui, an old man who has been working as an action director in Hong Kong for more than 30 years. He is not only experienced, but also has experience as a Hollywood action director, and is familiar with the action routines that European and American movie fans like.
In addition to the crew, actors are also constantly being selected and put in place one after another.
The actor director (the director responsible for selecting actors) chose a special actor for Wang Shang. The two strong men are not from the film and television industry, but are national sports stars. One is weightlifting and the other is wrestling. They just retired this year.
Both of their names sound tough. The weightlifter is named Yang Gang, who is 195cm tall and weighs 95kg. The wrestler is named Zhang Shi, who is 198cm tall and weighs 100kg. They have both won many championships in their respective categories.
The achievements were quite brilliant. Standing in front of the two of them with Wang Shang's strong figure, they both felt that the mountain was huge.
At first, Wang Shang was quite worried about their abilities, because in the past time and space, Wang Shang had heard bad rumors about famous sports players: they had been trained since childhood, and after retirement, their daily social skills, learning abilities, and adaptability would be worse. Wang Shang
I also secretly asked the actor and director about their level in these aspects, and the result was a strange look from the actor and director.
After the actor-director explained, Wang Shang realized that the training of athletes in this time and space is a little different from the previous time and space. Sports in this time and space are a kind of freelance profession, and their lives are similar to those of ordinary people. Training will only start when preparing for competitions. Therefore, their communication,
Learning ability is not a problem at all.
Finally, Wang Shang asked them to do a few performances. There was really no big problem, and they learned quite quickly. Moreover, most of the performances played by these two strong men pretended to be cool, and there were not many other expressions. If there are problems, please give me some advice.
Just a few times is enough.
Moreover, Wang Shang still trusts the professional abilities of the actors and directors, so he must have gone through many auditions before recruiting these two people.
As for the four actors selected by Paramount, Wang Shang also conducted an interview and felt they were okay.
After the four actors passed the interview, they couldn't wait to go to the beach.
"There are such beautiful beaches in China. I really didn't expect it...the blue sky, the clear water, the seabirds, the sea breeze..." Jessica opened her arms and closed her eyes with a look of enjoyment...
"Yeah. And there are beauties..." Smith looked at Jessica in a cool swimsuit with a lustful expression, and then whistled at other beauties playing on the beach from time to time.
"Smith, I found that our director is very young, younger than me..." Fox and Smith, two black men, are indeed good friends, and they started talking about everything within a few days of meeting.
"He is very young, but I don't dare to underestimate him. You saw the script last night, my God! It's great! I can't wait to film it and watch it unfold on the screen."
So awesome!!" Smith shouted excitedly.
"Haha, me too!" At this time, Brian had regained his confidence and was no longer as decadent as before. This was all because of the script.
Soon after, other roles in "Fast and Furious" were also cast. The female police officer was a beautiful newcomer recruited by Tianwang Studio. Her name was Dumanni, she was 24 years old and was an acting student at Shanghai Film and Television University. The actor and director took a look
When I see her, I feel that she has a good image. She is heroic and yet has the tenderness of a beautiful woman. She is exactly suitable for playing the role of a female police officer, a sonorous rose.
The role of Hua Xuan, the hero's sister, was recruited from China Film and Television University. She is also a tall and sexy beauty named Song Zheng.
So far, Hua Xia's four main actors have all recruited Wan, and they are all newcomers.
The Asian actor finally chose Kang Sung, a Korean-American movie star who is well-known in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States.
…
After the drivers summoned by Wang Shang joined the crew as scheduled, Wang Shang officially announced the start of filming.
Wang Shang chose a place to turn on the phone in a square on the edge of the beach in Sanya City, only 200 meters away from the seaside, with only a 12-lane ring road in between.
On the day of launch on February 6th, the weather was sunny, the sky was clear, seabirds were chirping from the sky, and the sea breeze was blowing. It was a good time to travel.
According to the time set by the Feng Shui master, the power-on ceremony officially started at 10 o'clock.
But before 9 o'clock, the square, which is twice the size of a football field, is already full of people. It can be said to be a sea of people.
Most of them are local people and tourists who come here because of their reputation. Some tour groups have specially arranged this spot for tourists to watch the opening ceremony.
This launch is the most powerful ceremony lineup among Wang Shang's many films. In terms of guests, not only reporters have reached 200, but also four companies including Datang International, Paramount, Digital Special Effects Company, General Motors/Volkswagen/Daimler/BMW.
All car advertising sponsor companies sent people to support the event.
In addition, even the deputy governor of Nanhai Province in charge of politics and law also arrived with a group of government officials.
The arrival of these guests obviously excited the reporters, and the camera kept pressing the shutter on the guests.
Compared to the reporters, the crowds were obviously more enthusiastic, and they were constantly coming from all over, some to watch the celebrities and some to watch the fun.
Fortunately, there were local policemen maintaining order, otherwise the scene would have been chaotic.
After the opening ceremony, Wang Shang opened up the topic to reporters for Q&A, but obviously the reporters were most excited about the appearance of two well-known sports stars, Yang Gang and Zhang Shi, in the cast.
"What roles are you two playing here?"
"According to the script, Dashi plays an Interpol police officer nicknamed Jushi, while I play a wanted fugitive," Yang Gang revealed.
"The two of us are going to have a fight. Brother Yang, who is the king of Chinese wrestling, will have to show mercy." Zhang Shi said jokingly to Yang Gang.
"You are an Interpol police officer, you should be afraid of me as a fugitive..." Yang Gang also responded happily.
Some other actors have also been surrounded by many reporters, such as the white beauty Jessica Cassie, and the two black gay friends Smith and Fox...
Every actor is very interesting to the reporters. The news at this launch conference has already given them enough surprises.
But the bigger surprise is yet to come.
At 11:30, several roars were heard from outside the square.
"Wow, Maybach Landaulet!"
"Oh my god, Porsche Carrera GT!!, BMW Nazca C2!!"
"I'm so lucky today to be able to see so many top-notch sports cars at once!"
Along with the crowd and reporters’ exclamations, eight shiny sports cars drove into the square and lined up in a row!
Suddenly, countless flash lights illuminated these eight sports cars, and everyone's limelight was instantly stolen!
This is not over yet, just when everyone was exclaiming, another domineering GurkhaLAPV light armored personnel carrier made its debut!
The domineering appearance of the body has made countless men obsessed with it!!
This car was imported from Ford Motor Company after Wang Shang negotiated with the four major companies because the models of the other four companies were not as domineering as this one.
Naturally, Wang Shang would not miss such a good opportunity for advertising.
"These 8 sports cars are all sponsored by the four major automobile companies!! They will be in service until the end of the filming of the movie, when their heroic appearance will be seen on the screen!!"
After Wang Shang introduced the sports cars one by one, he turned to introduce the domineering car: "And this GurkhaLAPV light armored personnel carrier is sponsored by Ford Motor Company and will be the car of our Interpol character, Jushi!
!!”
After Zhang Shi heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't help but run over and caress and kiss her like a lover. He was so in love.
