This star is too fierce

Chapter 380 Is This Movie a Big Investment?
Is "East Becomes West" a martial arts film?

No!

This movie is a spoof action movie.

There are more comedy elements than action elements.

If you have to set a genre for this movie, Zhang Sheng thinks it should be a comedy.

If you look at this movie from the perspective of a martial arts movie, then the evaluation is just two words: bad movie.

But what about from a comedy point of view?

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is very popular.

There is no doubt about this.

Many of the characters in it are impressive.

The evil in the east and the poison in the west, the gods in the south and the beggar in the north.

People who have watched this show, when it comes to these characters, I am afraid that many of them will be able to tell their famous skills.

These characters are still familiar today.

Especially after "The Legend of Condor Heroes", these characters have become more plump.

Zhang Sheng wanted to shoot this, which immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Of course, in addition to the content of the film, the topicality of Zhang Sheng's new film is also focused on the all-star lineup and the Spring Festival release.

All-star lineup?
So who will star?
Naturally, this has attracted much attention.

As for the release of the Spring Festival file, it is nothing more than because it is only three months away from the Spring Festival file.

Time is clearly running short.

Movies that are rushed generally give people the impression that the quality is not guaranteed.

Even the quality of Zhang Sheng's movies is trustworthy.

Under such a topic, the film launch conference naturally attracted a large number of media reporters.

What's more, "Resident Evil 2" is still in theaters!

The popularity of this movie has not completely faded.

And when those media reporters arrived at the scene, they were shocked to find that this star lineup is really strong!

Zhang Sheng plays Wang Chongyang.

Wang Chongyang, the supernatural power in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the ceiling of combat power in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Wu Jie played the northern beggar Hong Qi.

Who is Hong Qi?

That is naturally Hong Qigong in "Shooting the Condors" and "Shen Condor".

When you are old, you are the "Gong". When you are young, you are the "Xiao Qi", "Ah Qi", not "Qi Gong".

Deng Ming starred in Ouyang Feng, a poisonous drug in the West.

Peng Yuqian played the role of Emperor Duan of the Southern Emperor.

Yi Huoxin starred in Dongxie Huang Yaoshi.

The other characters are somewhat incomprehensible.

Liu Yun plays the princess.

Wen Feifei starred in the national teacher.

Yu Xiaoxi starred as the junior sister.

These characters should be newly added.

The most incomprehensible thing is that Gu Sisi actually played Zhou Botong.

The old urchin Zhou Botong?
It must be a man!
Gu Sisi is acting in reverse!

And the story of this film is very simple.

Mainly when Zhang Sheng introduced it, he said it very simply.

He just said:

"The film mainly tells a series of absurd stories that happened to Dongxie, Xidu, Nandi, Beibei, Zhou Botong and others when they were young. It's really absurd."

How absurd it is, we will have to wait until the film is released to find out.

Naturally, Zhang Sheng won't give any spoilers here.

And those media reporters may not have listened to the word "ridiculous".

The focus of their attention is probably still on the three words "when you were young".

This movie captures the story of Wujue Wujue when he was young.

Then naturally there will be no such thing as Huang Rong and Guo Jing.

"Director Zhang, the actors in your film are so powerful, how much is the investment?"

During the reporter's question session, some reporters asked questions.

With such a lineup, the pay may be astonishing.

Needless to say, Zhang Sheng's leading movie is definitely worth tens of millions.

People may not be willing to accept it.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the highest paid actor today.

Of course, this remuneration has something to do with his lack of acting.

But the main reason is that "Terminator" broke through [-] million box office in North America, and Hollywood sent him many invitations.

Among them, the remuneration has been paid out to 2000 million US dollars.

However, he was still pushed by Zhang Sheng.

Of course, if you star in a domestic movie, it won't be so high.

But it's definitely worth tens of millions of dollars.

Hollywood paid Zhang Sheng such a high salary, largely due to his domestic influence and appeal.

As for group dramas like "East Becomes West", the salary is naturally less, but it is not much less.

In addition, Wu Jie, Deng Ming, and Gu Sisi's film salary is all above 3000 million.

And Liu Yun, Peng Yuqian, Wen Feifei, Yu Xiaoxi and others are basically above the tens of millions.

If the remuneration of actors like them is paid enough, it may be close to [-] million.

In addition to the cost of filming and production, the investment of this film may not be small.

"The investment in this film is not large." Zhang Sheng said, "As for how big it is, we won't know until the filming is over. The reason why it is not large is that the main actors are not paid. The bulk of the cost is the production cost."

The actress Wang Hao is paid, but she is not well-known, and she starred in Zhang Sheng's movie, and her salary was reduced.

So just for a moment.

She really wanted to get dividends like everyone else, but unfortunately he didn't have that qualification.

And the production cost of this film is not high.

There are no special effects, just a shot of Ouyang Feng wearing boots flying in the sky, how much can it cost.

As for the monster in Jiuyin Bone, Zhang Sheng didn't think about using any special effects to make it.

Of course, he didn't intend to be as sloppy as the original version.

What other effects are there?
Emperor Duan has only one head left?

How much does the technical content of special effects cost?
big occasion?
Of course not.

There are not many extras.

"Director Zhang, is your movie really going to enter the Spring Festival? It's only three months away from the Spring Festival. How can you keep up with the schedule while ensuring the quality of the film?"

"It's good if you can catch up." Zhang Sheng said, "It doesn't matter if you can't. However, I think I can catch up. The preparation for this movie is still very good. As for the quality of the movie, I believe it will not disappoint movie fans. .”

"Director Zhang, this movie is adapted from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so is the screenwriter Yi or Yuanle?"

Zhang Sheng's vest hadn't been exposed yet, so the media reporters naturally didn't know about it.

The script of the TV series is "Yuan Le", so what about the script of the movie?
But they are all famous screenwriters.

"The inscription is my name." Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "This movie actually has nothing to do with the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". It's just borrowing their names and martial arts."

In the field of film, Zhang Sheng's vest is obviously not as famous as him, nor is he more worthy of the trust of movie fans.

"Director Zhang, the cast is so strong, so who are they?"

It is not uncommon for actors to compete for positions in the industry.

Sometimes even the bayonet hits red.

Among so many people, who has the biggest wrist?
That must be Zhang Sheng.

His status as a director adds a lot of points.

What else?
Wu Jie, Deng Ming, and Gu Sisi should belong to the first echelon.

Liu Yun, Peng Yuqian, and Yihuo Xin should belong to the second echelon.

Relatively speaking, Wen Feifei and Yu Xiaoxi are worse.

"This is a ensemble play, and there is no ranking at all." Zhang Sheng said, "Not all movies need to be ranked. Well, when the time comes, the cast will be listed in alphabetical order of their names."

In a movie with an all-star lineup, where is there any competition for titles?
It can be said that they are all protagonists, and it can also be said that they are all supporting roles.

At the press conference, Zhang Sheng was the biggest focus, but not the only one.

Naturally, Wu Jie and others were questioned by the media.

They are all old Jianghu, no matter how tricky the questions of those media reporters are, they can handle them with ease.

At the end of the press conference, the relevant information of the film was reported by the media.

Naturally, Changsheng Entertainment's publicity and distribution department must promote it behind the scenes.

After all, the Spring Festival is only three months away.

Some blockbuster movies released during the Spring Festival have already started pre-promoting.

"East Becomes West" is still very topical.

The creative team is too strong.

In addition, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" itself is a popular TV series.

And the follow-up "The Legend of Condor Heroes" is also a big hit.

The characters in it are well-known.

Audiences who like this show naturally have expectations for this movie.

Not only looking forward to the plot, but also looking forward to what the stars can play those characters like.

If you are looking forward to it with the characters of the original TV series, you are probably doomed to be disappointed.

In the ceiling of combat power, Wang Chongyang, the supernatural power, was smashed to death by a boot when he appeared on the stage.

The Southern Emperor wanted to become a fairy, the Northern Beggar turned into a dog licker, and wanted to commit suicide because of love, and the Western Poison became a sausage mouth.
The filming of "East and West" did not go as smoothly as expected.

The acting skills of the actors are naturally no problem.

This movie is not about acting either.

The problem is that patting and patting often laughs.

This one stabilized, but the other one couldn't.

With one laugh, the audience started laughing.

The whole crew laughed constantly.

The only thing worth chuckling is that the filming progress is not bad.

"Teacher Guo, are you interested in making a guest appearance?"

Zhang Sheng's crew has never been short of visits.

What's more, "East Makes West" was filmed in the film and television city not far from Yanjing.

But Zhang Sheng didn't expect that Guo Yunlin was the first to visit the class.

"Great interest!"

Guo Yunlin said with a smile.

It's not once or twice that he made a guest appearance in Zhang Sheng's movie.

This cameo is often talked about by fans.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Sheng will also guest star in his movies.

Return favors.

No matter what, he, Guo Yunlin, made the money.

Zhang Sheng's guest appearance is much more attractive than his Guo Yunlin's guest appearance.

Guo Yunlin didn't come alone this time, but brought his son Guo Peng with him.

Guo Peng came to a certain crew for an audition.

He followed, naturally wanting to use his personal connections to win the play.

As for whether it goes well, I don't know.

He heard that Zhang Sheng was filming in the film and television city, so he came to visit the set.

In fact, some of them made their sons familiar with Zhang Sheng.

Guo Yunlin made a guest appearance, and Guo Peng also made a cameo appearance.

Guo Peng guest-starred as the waiter of the shop, the one who was pissed off by the cousin played by Yu Xiaoxi.

And what about Guo Yunlin?
He played the role of the shopkeeper who was hated.

Guo Yunlin's line is just one sentence: I am afraid that the girl will scold me.

However, relatively speaking, Guo Peng's lines are a little more.

Of course, he didn't say a word when facing his cousin.

Just three words:

"I"

"I think."

However, Zhou Botong and others who played with Gu Sisi still have a lot of lines.

Guo Peng is now considered a little famous.

The battle for fame is on The Comedian.

He can't escape the fate of other second-generation stars: who is his father (mother)!
