After attending the premiere of "Myth", Wang Zhengfei took Liu Yifei and the crew members to Shanghai to participate in the crew training.
During this period, although Wang Zhengfei was not in Shanghai, he basically asked about the training situation every day. Although the shooting had not started yet, in Wang Zhengfei's view, the training situation was closely related to his subsequent shooting. If he did not want to waste time later,
If you spend a lot of time on this, this month's training camp is still needed.
This is especially true when it comes to martial arts scenes in ancient costumes. People who have been trained are completely different from those who have not been trained. Especially in "Qin Shi Mingyue", although it still has the title of martial arts, as far as Wang Zhengfei is concerned,
It seems that there are already signs of the fantasy of later generations, and the fighting in it is definitely not limited to the traditional new martial arts. It should be said that it is similar to the level of Huang Yi's martial arts.
Therefore, a lot of things require post-production, and they attach great importance to post-production. This is why Wang Zhengfei has to invest a lot of money. Post-production is a costly thing, and it is all calculated in seconds. It can be said to be a gold-swallowing beast.
Not an exaggeration.
Because the fighting scenes in "Qin Shi Mingyue" are much more gorgeous than those in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, the requirements for actors are also higher.
Wang Zhengfei got off the plane at Pudong International Airport and found Gao Yan waiting for them outside.
"Hey, boss, why are you here!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile. At this time, there were two outsiders, Liu Yifei and the room team member. Calling him boss gave him face and didn't seem too alienated.
"Let's go, let's talk about it after we get in the car!" Gao Yan said with a smile.
After a few people got in the car, Gao Yan didn't hide anything and just said it directly. The main reason is that the filming of "Crazy Racing" has been completed and the "Crazy Racing" team has returned to Yanjing from Xiamen. As for
A group of people such as Ning Hao and Huang Bo also arrived in Shanghai to complete dubbing and other post-production tasks. Although dubbing work can be done by hiring dubbing actors, generally speaking, it is rarely used in movies.
As for voice actors, TV dramas generally use more voice actors.
However, the sound is generally collected on site and repaired later. Of course, there are some things that cannot be repaired and have to be added later.
No wonder, Wang Zhengfei suddenly realized, because he remembered that Gao Yan should be in charge of the filming of "Crazy Racing" in Xiamen at this time. He is still very competent as a producer, but in any case, Gao Yan will definitely
We have to go back to Shanghai because "Qin Shi Mingyue" is about to start filming. In any case, "Qin Shi Mingyue" will be the main work direction of Xingchen Entertainment for quite some time in the future, although "Crazy Racing" has exhausted Xingchen now.
The last bit of liquidity for entertainment, but it is still not enough to compare with "Qin Shi Mingyue". Crazy Racing is just a medium-cost film, while "Qin Shi Mingyue" is a rare large-scale production in the film and television industry nowadays.
.
In fact, according to general rules, it is normal for a newly emerging company like Star Entertainment to advance step by step, just like "Immortal" in reality, then "Crazy Stone" and now "Crazy Stone".
Racing" and finally "Qin Shi Mingyue", it should be a bigger investment than the previous one, but the span of the last "Qin Shi Mingyue" is a bit too big.
At that time, he will still have to come back as a producer. Although Wang Zhengfei is also a producer, the producer has not stipulated that there can only be one. And although Wang Zhengfei has the title of producer, he is actually the director and responsible for part of the production.
Wang Zhengfei doesn’t have the energy and doesn’t want to care about things like the filmmaker’s job, the wages of supporting actors, etc. The reason why Wang Zhengfei wants to be a producer is because he doesn’t want to be stuck by the producer. Which actors should be used? Every time
He has to make his own decision on where the investment is spent, and no one is allowed to dictate in this regard. What he wants to shoot is what he wants to shoot, not what the producer wants to shoot. In this case
It's definitely not uncommon in the entertainment industry. For example, the producer Zhang Jizhong is very powerful, and ordinary directors really can't cooperate with him.
But if the other party is Gao Yan, the problem is not big. Anyway, he is one of his own, and he will not get stuck. He is not so much a producer as a handyman, which is different from the one in "Crazy Racing".
Times are different. When filming the "Crazy" series, Gao Yan was of course very consistent with the crew, but when it came to "Qin Shi Ming Yue", he basically just took care of some chores, and he couldn't get involved in the filming.
The status of Wang Zhengfei and Ning Hao in Xingchen Entertainment was highlighted. In front of Gao Yan, although he respected Ning Hao very much, a part-time worker was a part-time worker, but Wang Zhengfei was one of the bosses and directly participated in the dividends.
Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan arrived at the training base and first took Liu Yifei and the crew members to meet with the actors.
In a spacious open space, a group of big names are practicing some basic movements with martial arts. Although these martial arts fingers are not particularly famous, there are not many martial arts fingers like Yuan Heping in the entire circle.
, it’s not that Wang Zhengfei didn’t invite him, but for a martial arts director of Yuan Heping’s level, money is not a big deal. Wang Zhengfei is not stingy with money. It’s just that it’s hard to hire a director of Yuan Heping’s level even if he has money. Through Chen
The relationship between dragons is okay.
Yuan Heping and Chen Long are both members of the Seven Little Blessings. They have cooperated not once or twice, but they have a very good relationship. However, after finding Yuan Heping later, they discovered that the other party had a man on hand. Wang Zhengfei was helpless. He had no choice but to be rejected.
Let him go with the work at hand. His relationship with Yuan Heping is not that deep, it is just a chance encounter.
Therefore, Wang Zhengfei could only do the next best thing and look for other military commanders. Fortunately, after Hong Kong experienced the glory of the 1980s, among other things, there were batches of various behind-the-scenes practitioners. With the current situation in Hong Kong
With the decline of the film industry, these first-class talents in their heyday either went north to the mainland to find jobs, stayed at home, or changed careers. Wang Zhengfei had very little accumulation in this area and didn't know many, but Chen Long knew a lot.
Well, being in the industry for so many years was not in vain, and at this time his son Jaycee Chan was still working for Wang Zhengfei, so why didn’t he try his best?
Chen Long's timely help solved Wang Zhengfei's considerable troubles. Various relationships allowed Wang Zhengfei to expand a lot, and he also got to know quite a few older generation Hong Kong filmmakers.
Although Hong Kong movies are in decline now, Wang Zhengfei, an older generation of filmmakers who created Hong Kong's glorious era, still has great respect. After all, in a sense, he can be regarded as growing up watching Hong Kong movies.
Although these martial arts fingers are not the top ones, they are still top-notch. They were recommended by Chen Long personally, so naturally they are not much different. They are also well-known in the Hong Kong martial arts circles. Basically, Qin Shimingyue
There was no problem with their guidance. Wang Zhengfei had taken the time to communicate with them several times before, and roughly shared with them the fighting style Wang Zhengfei wanted for "Qin Shi Mingyue". Each film has its own fighting style. "
The style of "Qin Shi Mingyue" Wang Zhengfei's requirements are a bit more like the fairy tales or fantasy of the previous life, rather than the traditional martial arts. The action will be more in the later stage, but being chic and beautiful is a very important requirement.
Of course, Wang Zhengfei's biggest gain during this period was not these military commanders, but Chen Long actually loaned out the Chen family class.
Chen Long’s Chen Jia Ban is definitely a famous team in the film industry. They have followed Chen Long in his wars for decades. There are very few teams in the industry that can compare with this team. Generally speaking, Chen Jia Ban only works for Chen Long.
Long himself works and rarely goes on loan, which shows how determined Chen Long is for his son. Moreover, Chen Long will not have any work for the rest of this year. He is no longer able to shoot a year when he was young.
After several action movies, it would be a good time to find a job for the old brothers under my command.
Chen Jiaban is well-known in the circle for his daring to fight and rush. Having Chen Jiaban's help will undoubtedly be very beneficial to the filming of "Qin Shi Mingyue".
However, no matter what Chen Long's reason was for lending Chen Jiaban, Wang Zhengfei was very grateful to him. One yard at a time. No matter what the other party's reasons were or what his thoughts were, it was always a fact that he helped him.
Seeing that director Wang Zhengfei finally made his appearance, a group of actors who had been training immediately gathered around him.
Most of the people who can be here have been in the entertainment industry for quite some time. When they saw Wang Zhengfei finally appearing, they naturally knew that filming was about to start.
They have all read the script and conducted arduous training in the early stage. Basically, they all know that the next filming will definitely not be easy. It should be said that it is very difficult and the hardships will definitely not be less. But these people
Wang Zhengfei selected them one by one. Who is afraid of hardship? If you are afraid of hardship, you will not be able to get ahead in the entertainment industry. Artists in the entertainment industry are famous in front of others, but they are only famous in front of others. Behind the scenes, they have to work hard.
It is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Enduring hardship is an essential quality for them. If they cannot endure hardship, they will not be able to become a superstar. Look at those king-level figures, which ones have no hardships, which ones have no setbacks, and which ones have a smooth journey.
will succeed.
Effort is often directly proportional to reward, and they know this relationship better than anyone else.
Wang Zhengfei did not participate in the training camp this time, but he believes that there is still nothing wrong with him!
