In less than three days, the novel "The First Chaos in History" became popular on the Internet, making countless people laugh!!
On the Qidian Chinese website, the number of clicks on "The First Chaos in History" quickly increased from one million to ten million! There are countless rewards and rewards!!
In the wireless reading base, "The First Chaos in History" has been sought after by countless book friends. It has accumulated more than 10 million clicks in just two days since it was launched, and the sales list has directly entered the top ten of the weekly list!!
Most of them came here because of the brand name Wang Shang. After reading the novel, they said it was good, which was quite enjoyable.
As the novel continues to be popular, the author Zhang Xiaohua is naturally also widely discussed. However, Zhang Xiaohua did not show up at this time, but concentrated on writing.
The formation of the crew of "The First Chaos in History" has also attracted a lot of attention.
On July 10, the crew was completed. Wang Shang divided the script into 3 seasons, with 15 episodes in each season. However, they were filmed together during filming.
On July 15, Wang Shang signed an online sales agreement with China's four major video websites, and it was agreed that "The First Chaos in History" would be unified and launched on the four major video websites at the same time.
Wang Shang's influence at this time is no longer what it was a few years ago. When "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and "Love Apartment" were launched on online videos, Wang Shang was not qualified to compete with the four large video websites.
Negotiations can only be led by the issuer, Datang International.
Now, with all the miracles he has created in the past few years, Wang Shang is already on an equal footing with them, and he has directly expressed his request - 60% share of video sales.
When "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was uploaded, the share ratio obtained at that time was 25%. After several years of development, network operations have gradually matured and costs have gradually decreased. The number of users has gradually increased, and profits have become larger and larger. And the production of TV series and movies
Costs gradually increase.
In the end, there were several conflicts between producers and theaters. The producer's share ratio was also mentioned again and again. At the end of 2006, it was gradually increased to 55%.
At this time, Wang Shang directly demanded a 60% share. Although it made all these video companies unhappy, Wang Shang adopted various strategies to defeat it and soon made them succumb.
"It's only 5%. Anyway, he promised not to premiere on the TV station." They found an excuse to comfort themselves. There are many well-known directors who have a kind of 'sales guarantee', so the video website raises the asking price.
They will all make certain concessions, around 2%-3%. Wang Shang is a bit more ruthless this time, just 5%.
After the agreement was signed, media outlets with keen sense of smell began to report on it one after another.
"Wang Shang joins hands with the four major online video stations, and "The First Chaos in History" will be launched on the four major online video stations!"
"Wang Shang will split "The First Chaos in History" into three seasons, with each season having 15 episodes. It is planned to be broadcast while filming, with two episodes per week."
On July 24, the TV series' location selection, budget and other matters were quickly completed under Wang Shang's instructions, and most of the filming locations were set at the Magic City Film and Television Base.
On July 25, the selection of roles in the TV series was completed, and Wang Shangwei wanted to go quickly. They all chose actors with rich experience.
"There's still room for Zhang Ziyi to make a cameo..." Wang Shang picked up the phone and made an overseas call.
The only time Wang Shang and Zhang Ziyi had any communication was at the Oscars in 2005. Because both parties have a tacit understanding to get closer to each other, the current relationship between the two parties is pretty good. So Wang Shang is quite confident about inviting Zhang Ziyi.
.
"Guest appearance in your TV series??" Zhang Ziyi's voice rose a little after receiving the call from Wang Shang. She was probably a little excited.
"Yes, the specific plot is like this..." Wang Shang transformed Liu Laoliu into Xiao Qiang into Zhang Ziyi, and then encountered the crazy pursuit of several dinosaurs.
"Hahaha, Mr. Wang, this plot is so funny. I agreed to act..." Zhang Ziyi readily agreed. Then she said, "Mr. Wang, how about I make a guest appearance for free this time. I haven't filmed a TV series for a long time.
It’s a kind of memory!!”
"Okay! That's it! Can you come back tomorrow? The filming will start the day after tomorrow!! The whole shooting process won't be too long. It should be completed in one day and it won't delay your other work."
"No problem, I will fly back tomorrow." Zhang Ziyi readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, the agent next to Zhang Ziyi asked curiously: "Sister Zhang, why do you want to act for free? Your worth is so high~~"
Zhang Ziyi looked out the window and replied with a smile: "I will certainly charge money from other people, but as for Mr. Wang, I will gain more if I don't charge money than if I do."
On July 27, "The First Chaos in History" was launched quickly at the Magic City Film and Television Base.
Wang Shang didn't hold any press conference, but a lot of media reporters came on the day of the start-up and worship ceremony. Although they couldn't interview the crew, they filmed the crew's start-up and worship ceremony, and there were enough news materials.
But when all the reporters were extremely surprised, they actually saw Zhang Ziyi.
"Will she also play a role in the TV series??"
Because the novel "The First Chaos in History" in this time and space did not mention at the beginning "the plot in which the protagonist Xiao Qiang transformed into Zhang Ziyi", these reporters did not know the reason why Zhang Ziyi appeared here.
After the opening ceremony, filming officially began, and all reporters were asked to leave and were not allowed to enter the crew.
In order not to waste Zhang Ziyi's time, Wang Shang deliberately placed her two guest appearances at the beginning.
With Zhang Ziyi's acting skills, there is no NG at all. Her two scenes were passed at once!
After Zhang Ziyi finished filming her two scenes, she did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she stood next to Wang Shang and watched the crew continue filming. What followed was the earth-shattering encounter between Liu Laoliu and Xiao Qiang.
Liu Laoliu, who plays the role from beginning to end, is played by a veteran actor from the Magic City Film and Television Alliance. Needless to say, he is a very good actor with experience.
The role of Xiao Qiang is an internal actor of Tianwang Film and Television Company. He has played roles in many movies such as "The God of Death" and "The Fast and the Furious". His acting skills have been honed well, so he was selected by Wang Shang to become the actor.
The protagonist.
In addition to being a little unfamiliar and not harmonious at the beginning, these games quickly passed through each one quickly as they became familiar with each other without any NG.
Zhang Ziyi covered her mouth and laughed while watching. She was obviously amused by this TV series, especially those lines. She couldn't help but laugh when she heard them.
One day later, the filming work changed location and was arranged to the protagonist's home. This 'protagonist's home' was a studio in the film and television base. After a quick layout, it became the protagonist's home.
What I want to shoot now is the process of 'Jing Ke' getting dressed in 'Xiao Qiang''s home and seeing various modern things for the first time.
Preparation of props, debugging of cameras and other equipment, makeup of main actors...
An hour later, everyone was ready.
"Everyone, take your seats!!"
"Photography and sound equipment are ready!!"
After everything was ready, Wang Shang began to shout: "Act 1, Scene 18, action!!"
The crew moves together!
Jing Ke accepted the instructions from the 'Immortal' Xiao Qiang and started to put on his clothes. Without going into too much detail in the script, the actor who played Jing Ke knew exactly how to act: "An ancient person who has just come to modern times must be familiar with the modern world."
Trousers and shirts mean that they don’t understand and they don’t know how to wear them.”
So a comedy was staged where the pants were worn on the upper body and the shirt was worn on the lower body, and there was also a funny scene where the wrong holes were poked. With his own writing and acting, it took him 30 seconds to finally get 'dressed up', just right.
Push the last remaining pair of underwear onto your jeans.
This actor's performance was wonderful, very expressive, without any artificiality, and he played out the various expressions of confusion, ignorance, curiosity, and inquiry that should belong to an ancient person after coming to the modern age.
In this scene, the crew members basically covered their mouths to suppress laughter.
The show continues...
Xiao Qiang walked in the door and was shocked when he saw Jing Ke wearing his underwear backwards. Then he said feebly: "Damn, you think you are Superman, you are wearing those underwear."
Jing Ke looked indifferent and didn't care about these details. He threw his underwear aside and said calmly: "Your clothes are uncomfortable to wear."
After getting the clothes and the assassination dagger, Jing Ke began to show off his curious baby spirit: "What is that (finger glass)? And why is there no lamp oil (finger lamp)?"
Immortal Xiao Qiang violently replied: "This is the fairy world. Even if you tell me, you don't understand..."
