Huayu started from the fairy sword

That night.

Director Zhou Xingchi paid out of his own pocket, invited Cao Jun, Shu Qi, and Luo Zhixiang to have a meal together, and even opened a bottle of 1990 Kangdi, which is considered to welcome Cao Jun into the group.

After all, Cao Jun is not an ordinary actor, but one of the most popular actors in the mainland who is both powerful and idol, he is also the owner of Century Film and Television Company and one of the most popular directors of commercial films.

Zhou Xingchi's attitude towards Cao Jun is naturally more kind and respectful than other people.

Although Cao Jun and Shu Qi have heard about each other for a long time, this is the first time they meet in their lives.

Strictly speaking, Cao Jun grew up watching Shu Qi's movies, especially the "Wang Nu Heart Sutra" that she collaborated with Teacher Xu Jinjiang.

However, Cao Jun prefers Li Lizhen in the movie "The Heart Sutra of the Queen", and has no feeling for Shu Qi.

Seeing the real Shu Qi face to face this time, Cao Jun's first reaction in his heart was that she really wouldn't grow old. She felt that she looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years ago, and even more interesting.

Cao Jun and Luo Zhixiang are both masters of time management and old acquaintances. Because they are both Pepsi superstars, they often shoot Pepsi commercials together.

After all, he is the host, Luo Zhixiang is very good at enlivening the atmosphere, and knows how to interact with people, making Shu Qi laugh from time to time.

During this period, Cao Jun and Shu Qi also looked at each other several times, which was not considered to be an exchange of affection, but rather a test of each other.

Cao Jun was not in high spirits due to the tiring day, and just responded to her politely with a smile.

Obviously, a man like Cao Jun definitely has no shortage of women, and a woman like Shu Qi also has no shortage of men.

After finishing a bottle of 1990 Kandy and almost eating dinner, Luo Zhixiang asked the big guy to sing K.

Cao Jun thought about filming tomorrow, so he politely declined: "Forget it, little pig, we have to film tomorrow."

Shu Qi also echoed at the side: "Little pig, Director Cao just came from the capital this afternoon, and he hasn't rested much yet, so he must be very sleepy, right?"

Cao Jun said calmly, "I'm a little sleepy."

Zhou Xingchi took advantage of the situation and said to Luo Zhixiang: "Then let Director Cao take a good rest and get together next time when we have time."

Since the two directors Cao Jun and Zhou Xingchi have said so, Luo Zhixiang can only agree.

After returning, Cao Jun carefully reviewed the script of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" in the presidential suite.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Xingchi has always been very partial to the story of "Journey to the West". He has long imagined this fantasy world with infinite charm. There are too many story themes suitable for adaptation into movies hidden in this ancient legendary story. , Therefore, the script has also been brewing for many years.

Zhou Xingchi has always hoped to shoot a super blockbuster that belongs to the Chinese people. In addition to rich visual effects and grand stories, it also needs to have super creativity and imagination. Good story.

The monster-ridden Journey to the West allows the film to continue the strange and magnificent visual style of Zhou Xingchi's previous films, and at the same time it is full of a sense of oppressive and suffocating tension.

...

It is conceivable that the story of the script "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is all adapted from "Journey to the West", and it still has a certain relationship with the original work.

But the characters are completely different, and the whole direction of the story is also completely different.

In Zhou Xingchi's words, the title of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" should be divided into two parts.

The next day, in the morning.

As soon as Cao Jun arrived on the set, Zhou Xingchi walked over and asked him: "Cao Dong, I forgot to ask yesterday, can you accept shaving your head?"

Cao Jun thought to himself that he was playing Tang Seng, and it was necessary to shave his head. This professional quality was still there, so he said straightforwardly: "No problem."

Seeing Cao Jun's cooperation, Zhou Xingchi heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help admiring: "Cao Dong is indeed a top actor with high professional ethics!"

Soon, Cao Jun went to the dressing room to shave his head.

After shaving his head, Cao Jun was not idle, reciting his lines in the corner.

Because the first line is quite long, after Cao Jun recited it, he wanted to say what to say there, and brewed his emotions by the way.

Suddenly, Zhou Xingchi walked in and asked, "Cao Dong, what are you doing?"

Cao Jun said: "I'm memorizing my lines."

Zhou Xingchi hurriedly said: "No need to remember, I changed everything."

Cao Jun let out an "Ah", a little unable to laugh or cry,

Before the filming started, Cao Jun thought, he is also a Grand Slam TV Emperor, so he must show his acting skills in front of Zhou Xingchi, and he must not pull his hips.

As a result, after the filming officially started, Cao Jun discovered that in the film "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", there is basically no need to think about how to act.

In addition, when Zhou Xingchi was filming, he would always hold a lollipop in his mouth, and while eating the candy, he would give Cao Jun suggestions for improvement.

Moreover, Zhou Xingchi will also hold hands and teach Cao Jun how to act.

Fortunately, Cao Jun's understanding is not bad, and the number of ng times is much less than other actors.

In addition, Cao Jun himself is a fan of Zhou Xingchi, and he is familiar with his nonsense, and he can quickly understand what Zhou Xingchi wants to express.

Of course, if Cao Jun had his own ideas, he would discuss it with Zhou Xingchi.

As long as the results are good, Zhou Xingchi will also accept it, and he will also praise Cao Jun by the way: "Cao Dong, thank you, your idea is great."

Cao Jun knew that Zhou Xingchi was talking about scenes, because he would praise people in different ways every day in the crew, and he didn't take it to heart, and said modestly: "Master Xing, you are too polite, I am an actor, you are the director, and I am in the crew. I listen to you!"

Although Cao Jun said so, he also had his own ideas, and he didn't completely follow Zhou Xingchi's opinions.

Fortunately, Zhou Xingchi also gave Cao Jun a lot of face. No matter what Cao Jun thought, he would listen carefully and communicate with Cao Jun patiently.

It may also be because of the poor reputation in Xiangjiang. After Zhou Xingchi came to the mainland to film, he seemed to be a different person.

Therefore, after Cao Jun joined the crew of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", the cooperation with Zhou Xingchi was much smoother than expected.

...

They are all smart people, and Zhou Xingchi also felt that directing Cao Jun was very comfortable and challenging.

Although Cao Jun doesn't know much about Zhou Xingchi, he can be sure that Zhou Xingchi is definitely a workaholic and has strict requirements on the scenes, shooting almost from morning to night.

For example, on this day, Zhou Xingchi started filming the scenes of Cao Jun and Shu Qi early in the morning, with almost no rest except eating, and at night he continued to film the scenes of Luo Zhixiang and the four beauties in the wilderness.

Among the four aunts, only one aunt has lines, and that is Zhang Mei'e from Hengdian.

During the actual shooting, the aunts took a full 8 days to shoot.

During the trial shooting, Aunt Zhang Mei'e got the chance to speak lines in a stronger Hengdian Mandarin.

The four aunts in ladies' attire were expressionless, throwing flowers while carrying the empty son played by Luo Zhixiang, grabbing the scene as soon as they appeared.

Zhang Mei'e spoke standard Dongyang Mandarin: "You said it earlier, why didn't you say it earlier, you said it earlier"

"Cough, what do you mean, to sprinkle or not to sprinkle?"

"If you don't spread it, you have to pay the wages" and other lines laughed Zhou Xingchi and a group of staff on the scene.

The performance of the four aunts in front of the camera directly overwhelmed Luo Zhixiang.

Therefore, the performances of the four aunts in the film are completely authentic, with authentic makeup, authentic performances, and authentic lines. The comedy effect created by the aunts exceeded expectations.
