super star system

Zhang Cheng, who just returned to China, is really busy!
Known or not, many people are looking for him.At this moment, it is considered to have stopped, and Zhang Cheng has also gained a reputation in the whole of China.After all, he is the first person to win an international award; Cheng Jijie is now doing all kinds of entertainment. Although Zhang Cheng has repeatedly asked to reduce the exposure, Cheng Jijie, the only actor at the national treasure level, is still constantly entertaining. be exposed.Even getting up to urinate while eating is discussed for a long time by everyone.

Fortunately, Cheng Jijie didn't take his grades so seriously, otherwise he might have lost control.Even so, Cheng Jijie's film appointments were one after another, and the film salary suddenly reached 4000 million, which is a proper super first-line celebrity.Zhang Cheng was a little skeptical about life, could he be able to finish the ten-year task in one shot?How about calling Zhang Guorong?
Of course not. Zhang Cheng knew that there was a deviation in history. This deviation was only a little bit, but he was in it, and the inertia was too great. If he was not careful, he might disappear completely.

Moreover, because of "Farewell My Concubine", although she has gained some international fame, to be honest, she is really nothing in the world, especially in Hollywood.

Many famous international directors went to Hollywood to hang out with assistant directors.It's still uncertain when it will become famous.In particular, the status of Chinese people in the United States may not be as important as some black people.Going there and fighting is not so much fighting the film as it is fighting the color of the skin.

Giving up these things and focusing on shooting your own movies and TV series is the truth.Only the continuous success of one's own films and continuous breaking of the rules is the best way.

After pondering and adjusting for several weeks, Zhang Cheng has confirmed his path and started to walk firmly.The first is the special effects team, which China has, but the technology and equipment are basically things from the 80s in the United States.Perhaps other than Wia, Huaxia's counterparts may not necessarily know each other.

Setting up a special effects studio can be described as a huge investment. After becoming a director, Zhang Cheng finally invested 1.8 million to buy a lot of second-hand equipment from the United States.Although it is considered an ordinary product in the United States, it is still a first-class equipment in Asia or China.

Then, Zhang Cheng bought a lot of the best equipment from Japan and Australia, with a total cost of 5 million.Coupled with the previous investment, it is best that Zhang Cheng's full initial investment in the special effects studio in Guangdong Province has reached 7.5 million.

In addition to this, we also recruited talents from all over the world, including Japan, the United States, India and other places, as well as Chinese special effects talents, a total of more than 30 people, so that the special effects studio barely started.

After the special effects, it is the formation of the prop group. The main props in "Journey to the West" are all kinds of armor and costumes, especially the outfits of the people in the heaven, which can be described as extremely gorgeous.There is also the design and construction of the heavenly court, and other places are not bad.

Most of the costumes used in CCTV's "Journey to the West" were used, although they looked pretty good.However, there is still some water.This time, Zhang Cheng designed the costumes according to the legendary impression, specially invited more than 20 costume designers and a large number of craftsmen.

The next step is to scout locations in various countries. Finally, a total of 17 national scenic spots have been determined, as well as location shooting; on the one hand, various procedures and passport issues for the crew have to be handled.On the other hand, it is necessary to get in touch with the Huaxia military and hire some security work.In some places, soldiers are also needed to help film group performances of some big scenes.

After all these were basically ready, Zhang Cheng began to choose roles.This time is not the poverty of the previous life, but Zhang Cheng has a budget of about 4000 million to choose roles.

First of all, colleges and universities across the country are recruiting beauties, as long as you think you are a beauty, you can apply. After Zhang Cheng first goes to school to confirm, there will be a nationwide audition. Fairies and goblins need a total of more than 150 beauties.Among them, there are also some beautiful actresses who look good but not necessarily outstanding, and are used in the big drama Daughter Country.

Another actor is also very important, that is, Xiao Lulu who has been practicing for a long time. The reason why Zhang Cheng agreed with Xiao Lulu's participation is because he thought that there is also a role of red boy in it.Actors in Honghaier's period are officially in the era of boys and girls, and there is no difference between men and women at all.The only thing is that Lulu may be too cute to play that kind of cruelty.

A large number of actresses were present, making Zhang Cheng a little confused for a while.This is a situation where whoever encounters is caught up in the circle.One or two beauties may be recognized at a glance. When tens of thousands of beauties from all over the country gather, Zhang Cheng's face is green.It looks the same to everyone, but it doesn't work if you don't choose.Therefore, audition is the only best choice.

As long as you audition and put on your clothes, if you don't have that style, then I'm sorry.Even if some girls are not particularly outstanding, they are very charming when they wear clothes, and they are hired directly.

After several 10 people traveled in Guangdong Province, there are almost 200 people left. On the one hand, Zhang Cheng has a hard time choosing, and on the other hand, there are some who don’t want to leave. Even if they play some passers-by in it, it’s fine. As long as you don't drive yourself away.

The remaining people started the second stage of selection. First, they all put on costumes, and then everyone began to audition one by one; various characters were tried one by one; this is the role determination.Many people also went from ordinary actors to special actors all at once, from supporting roles to leading roles all at once.For example, the actor of the role of the king of the daughter country.The previous selection was only qualified. When deciding on the role, Zhang Cheng saw that he had a particularly graceful and generous temperament, and then, he was paid a high salary all of a sudden.Originally, if it was just an ordinary actor, the subsidy was 120 yuan a day.But becoming the king of the daughter country is 500 yuan a day.

This is the price outside of the main drama. When the filming of Daughter Country was officially filmed, the remuneration was 50 paid separately.Calculated in this way, an actor with a leading role will earn at least 80 in one performance.

In fact, if it is not high according to the TV series, it is not too low for three or five episodes.There are also many long horns; for example, Guanyin, Tathagata, Lei Gong and Dian Mu, Dragon King, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Chang'e, these are all long horns, and they are all a group of people with objective pay.There are four main characters.Tang Seng's mentor and apprentice, Tang Seng is also a student chosen by Zhang Cheng in the university, and the film salary is directly 300 million. Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk are two old actors.Although he is not very famous in China, he is still familiar, and the direct salary is 300 million.Monkey King is played by Zhang Cheng himself.

In order to perform this monkey show well, Zhang Cheng specially invited a family of monkey performers, and the Jin family came to the scene to film and guide.Of course it can make people like this, Zhang Cheng also invested a lot of money, he gave 500 million in the early stage.500 million will be settled after the completion.The crew invested a total of 3 million (excluding equipment).

The worst thing about filming this kind of large-scale costume drama is the pollution. Zhang Cheng knew that if he wanted to make others speechless, he had to do it himself.Therefore, Zhang Cheng also spent a lot of money on cleaning up the entire crew after shooting, which is why Zhang Cheng's total investment is as high as 3 million.

Because of the filming experience of "People on the Journey" before, the crew still has to divide into multiple crews.In addition to his own two groups, Zhang Cheng also hired the entire family-making team and three other mature teams, a total of thirteen crews started filming together.

When it was November, the production crew was finally completed, and Zhang Cheng announced that "Journey to the West" would start.

The first episode was filmed in Lu Province. According to previous life records, the first episode was filmed by Zhang Cheng very quickly, and then went directly to editing. Even if the monkey king was born, the filming was completed, and the edited film would be sent back immediately. The emperor gave Cheng a guide.

At the end of the first episode, Zhang Cheng immediately began to shoot all the shots that can be used in this place, and at the same time began to plan for the second part of the shooting. There are still some places that need to be communicated with tourist attractions, and the schedule should not affect others. To receive tourists, we have to rush to shoot videos.

Zhang Cheng forgot the time when he was filming, and he was always striving for perfection as he was imprinted in Journey to the West in his previous life. Therefore, although the filming progress was very fast with the convenience of the script.However, in the face of large-scale serial dramas, it is too slow.

Especially in many fighting games, even Journey to the West from the previous life is relatively weak in this respect.Therefore, Zhang Cheng set it according to the camera sense in "A Chinese Journey to the West".And in terms of playing, I imagine it is like Shushan, fantasy and grand.It also uses a lot of assumptions as the basis for playing.

So in this area, not to mention actors and cameras, even the other assistant directors are confused.

However, Zhang Cheng already has new settings for many images in his heart, how to deal with special effects, how to narrate the film, etc. have all been considered in place.

By the end of December, the crew of "Journey to the West" had basically finished their filming and scenes in China, and they were about to start traveling abroad.During this period of time, the efforts of Zhang Cheng and the crew were only seen by director Cheng, and some of them remembered to follow the report for a period of time at the beginning of the domestic film removal. At this time, they have all run away, and Zhang Cheng has been forgotten in the long river of memory. ,

The crew of Journey to the West has also gradually faded out of people's sight, but Zhang Cheng's Journey to the West has just begun, and there are still many things that he needs to do slowly.

The first stop was Myanmar, and the locations were actually determined along the lines of the plot and filming.The Burmese filming was in Baoji country, and there will be a drama filmed in Thailand later, which is Xiaoleiyin Temple; other groups have slowly started to withdraw, but the starring team led by Zhang Cheng will start various shootings here we go.Many people were already showing signs of fatigue. Xiao Lulu was also brought back to the imperial capital by Cheng Yuanfeng after filming the scene of the red boy.
