Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 527 "Di Renjie" is finished, and the film appointments continue!

On March 3th, directed by Tsui Hark, Cao Jun, Lin Gengxin, Feng Chaofeng, Carina Lau and other stars co-starred in the movie "Di Renjie: Dragon King", which was finally completed successfully in Hengdian Film and Television City.

Frankly speaking, for Cao Jun, the two-month to nearly three-month shooting routine is not only a process of exporting himself, but also a process of enriching himself.

Because in the process of cooperating with Director Tsui Hark, Cao Jun felt that as a director, his level was too low, and he would shoot according to the script without any technical skills.

Although Tsui Hark is 60 years old, he still studies computer special effects and various high-tech related to movies.

Compared with Tsui Hark, who "lives and learns", Cao Jun, a young filmmaker, is really a bit reluctant to make progress.

Therefore, Cao Jun also respected Tsui Hark, especially the more he knew about Tsui Hark, the more awesome he felt.

Tsui Hark's films have always been famous for their "fastness". This not only refers to his high output and numerous works, but also refers to the storm-like fast pace of his films. The suffocating countless short shots are edited and brought a dazzling sense of satisfaction to the audience in front of the screen.

But what few people have noticed is that after Tsui Hark entered the IMAX 3D era, this style is undergoing obvious changes.

The style of "Di Renjie: The Dragon King", can no longer be summed up by "fast", but should be "full".

If you look closely at the action scenes of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", you will find that the number of shots is much less than that of Tsui Hark's previous works, and it is also less than Hollywood works such as "Superman: Man of Steel", which is also an IMAX 3D work. Tsui Hark made adjustments considering the visual impact of the super-large screen.

For the new screen that is full of details, too fine editing is no longer necessary. Slowing down the pace to show the details is another option.

In addition, Tsui Hark is famous for his fondness for playing with monsters, such as the Old Black Mountain Demon, the Millennium Green Snake, and the Flying Centipede... even in comedies like "The Full Feast", a big fish has to be featured.

In "Di Renjie: The Tongtian Empire", he put down his body and played the little bug "Red Flame Beetle", which was obviously the idea of ​​the producer Chen Guofu.

This time "Di Renjie: The Dragon King of God Capital" focuses on underwater 3D, he finally let go of his hands and feet, and made a good show of the carp king fighting the Tang Dynasty navy.

Although the stitching of CG images and real-life scenes is still slightly flawed, the unrestrained imagination cannot fail to remind people of the magical images in "Zhuangzi" and "Shan Hai Jing" that have attracted thousands of generations of Chinese people.

In addition, the dazzling sketches of wonderful scenes in the script and the ambition of the "Di Renjie" series are really fascinating.

Dongying people who studied fantasy literature in the late Qing Dynasty once wrote a book called "Fly, the Great Qing Empire".

If after "Di Renjie: Dragon King of the Divine Capital" is released, seeing the magnificent ancient fantasy of Huaguo blooming on the big screen, it is estimated that the voice of "Fly, Great Tang Empire" will echo in the hearts of the audience.

In addition to monsters and Gu worms, the movie "Di Renjie: Dragon King, God Capital" also shows other ancient subcultures.

The first part focuses on Buddhism and Nestorianism, and this one mainly shows the landscape of Taoism and Zoroastrianism. The last shot of the film ends with an Arabic-style dome building, showing the inclusive and prosperous mind of the Tang Dynasty capital.

One of the highlights of Di Renjie's series is various mysterious subcultures in ancient times.

Judging from the results of the first part, Cao Jun has reason to believe that Di Renjie, who he plays, can continue to wander in the mysterious world of ancient China with his friends and complete their unfinished adventure.

Because this cooperation is very pleasant, Cao Jun and Tsui Hark have made an appointment in private, if the movie "Di Renjie: The God of Dragon King" can make money, they will continue to cooperate with the "Di Renjie" series of films.

March 3, 21 p.m.

Accompanied by his assistants and bodyguards, Cao Jun arrived in the capital smoothly.

Because the weather in Beijing is still relatively cold, which is the season when it turns warm and cold, Cao Jun made an appointment with Huang Baoqiang to eat hot pot at a hot pot restaurant opened by a friend.

Originally, Cao Jun only made an appointment with Huang Baoqiang, not Chen Sicheng, but Chen Sicheng heard Huang Baoqiang say that he wanted to eat hot pot with Cao Jun, so he insisted on Huang Baoqiang's help to introduce him.

Chen Sicheng wanted to meet Cao Jun. On the one hand, he wanted to be friends with a big shot in the film and television industry like Cao Jun. On the other hand, he also wanted to invite Cao Jun to invest and star in his new film - "Love Story in Beijing".

Huang Baoqiang didn't know that Chen Sicheng had so many thoughts, but simply thought that Chen Sicheng wanted to get to know Cao Jun, so he explained the specific situation to Cao Jun.

Seeing Huang Baoqiang's face, Cao Jun sighed helplessly: "Okay, Baoqiang, if he really wants to see me, you can call him."

The three men eat hot pot together, which is quite atmospheric.

Chen Sicheng also took this opportunity to propose a toast to Cao Jun: "Cao Dong, you are my idol, the reason why I can become a TV drama director is because of your encouragement and inspiration, I would like to offer you a toast..."

In fact, in the past two years, Chen Sicheng wanted to transform from a TV drama director to a movie director, but he was afraid that he would not be able to grasp it, especially in the movie box office, and he was afraid that he would screw up.

Because making a movie is different from making a TV series. They are two very different things. As long as the filming of a TV series is not too bad, you can basically make money back and make money.

For example, Chen Sicheng's self-directed and self-acted TV series "Love Story in Beijing" not only paid back his capital, but also made a lot of money. It also allowed him to successfully transform from an actor to a director.

But this time, Chen Sicheng found Cao Jun through Huang Baoqiang's relationship, and also wanted to invite him to star in the movie version of "Love Story in Beijing".

Although Chen Sicheng doesn't have that much money, as long as he can invite Cao Jun, a large group of film companies will naturally invest in it.

Of course, Chen Sicheng is not short of money to make movies now, and many film and television companies want to invest in his movie.

However, Chen Sicheng himself had no idea, because he felt that his current movie lacked all elements, the only thing missing was a big box office hit like Cao Jun.

You know, just the day before, the film "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", directed by Zhou Xingchi and starring Cao Jun, had a cumulative global box office of 2.25 million US dollars, surpassing the global box office of 2.17 million US dollars set by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Record, becoming the world's best-grossing Chinese film.

In order to ensure that the movie "Love Story in Beijing" is foolproof and allow him to transform successfully, Chen Sicheng cast his sights on Cao Jun.

Because Chen Sicheng couldn't afford to hire other big names, the only one who could gain a relationship was Cao Jun who had a close relationship with Huang Baoqiang.

However, Cao Jun is now a popular fried chicken, and many film directors want to ask him to play the male lead.
