The program team lost contact, and the desert island live broadcast reversed the character design

Chapter 288 Martial arts training and script reading

The crew of "The Swordsman" has completed preparations, and the main actors have begun intensive training.

This is also Su Zhe's request. He doesn't want to make a martial arts drama into a low-cost special effects drama, without any move design at all, relying entirely on the Weiaga blower to create the beauty.

The fight scene is just a few people standing on the spot waving their hands, emitting waves, and adding light pollution special effects in the post-production process. It looks cool, but is actually perfunctory.

This has nothing to do with cost. Wages in martial arts are not high (compared to stars). It's just because the leading actors are afraid of the pain and tiredness and don't want to work hard to perform tricks.

For example, in the snow, the cost is not low, it is also a big IP, and the martial arts scenes are really eye-catching.

But Su Zhe worked hard and just wanted to make the best "Swordsman" and not let down the best Ren Yingying.

In fact, compared to the public opinion environment for the remake of Jin Yong's drama in his previous life, the requirements for him are looser. After all, he does not have the predecessor Zhu Yu, so no matter what he makes, he does not have to worry about being scolded.

After all, it is his “original creation”!

But he didn't want to disgrace the classics in his own hands. This was the minimum bottom line for "Wen Chao Gong".

……

After discovering that he still had to train intensively, veteran actor Xun Qingsong, who plays Yue Buqun, couldn't help but sigh:

"It's been a long time since I saw the crew training before filming. Su Zhe really deserves to make money."

Su Zhe smiled and said:

"It would be shameless to make so much money and not do a good job and just want to fool the audience! This can only be regarded as my obligation and I don't deserve to be praised."

Li Wenshi, who plays the role of junior sister Yue Lingshan, stuck out her tongue and said:

"Brother, there is something in your words. Are you mocking some people in the circle? It would be terrible if I spread the word to you! Unless..."

She twisted her fingers and made a gesture of counting money, "blackmailing" Su Zhe in a weird way.

Su Zhe immediately turned serious and counterattacked:

"How can you talk, little girl? In my heart, everyone in the circle is serious and responsible for the show! Who do you think I am mocking? Tell me your name!"

Li Wenshi was dumbfounded, her face turned red because Su Zhe was suppressing her. She didn't dare to say whose name, so she could only say helplessly:

"you are vicious!"

"Hahaha!" Everyone around laughed.

It was time for a break during training, and a group of people gathered around.

Since "The Swordsman" is divided into major forces such as the Wuyue Sword Sect, Shaolin Wudang, and Demon Cult, each force has a unique martial arts style.

Therefore, martial arts instructors designed different styles of martial arts movements according to different schools.

In the Central Edition of "Swordsman", and even among the Five Mountain Sword Schools, each school's swordsmanship is different, divided according to mountain styles, and is very sophisticated and careful.

Su Zhe simply asked Wu Xing to do the same and take the essence to achieve perfection.

Therefore, when actors train, they practice according to different sects, so Su Zhe chats with Xun Qingsong, Li Wenshi and other Huashan sect members.

However, Su Zhe and Li Wenshi are quite special. Due to the needs of the plot, they have to learn all the swordsmanship of the Five Mountains Sword School (in the cave). They are the two hardest working people in the whole crew.

But Li Wenshi didn't feel it was hard. On the contrary, she was chattering all day long and was very happy:

"Hehe, my classmates are jealous to death when they know that I am acting in Big Brother's drama. Am I going to become famous?"

She was just a freshman, not long into adulthood, and was full of fantasies about becoming famous. She was a newcomer selected by Zhang Hongwei when he went to Beijing Film Academy (signed by Zhang Hongwei's company), and he took a fancy to her innocence.

Xun Qingsong heard what she said and couldn't help but persuade him:

"Don't be too ambitious. It's a good thing that you are participating in this drama at a young age. You should learn from Su Zhe how to be serious about acting. It will be of great benefit to you throughout your life."

Although he plays Yue Buqun, he is a kind and honest elder in reality.

When Su Zhe heard what he said, he quickly said humbly:

“There are so many veteran actors in the play, it’s us young people who should learn from you.”

The main characters such as Yue Buqun, Zuo Lengchan, and Ren Woxing are all veteran opera actors, from Dongfang Bubai and even Mei School Peking Opera.

Thanks to Su Zhe's current fame and Zhang Hongwei's wide connections, he had the opportunity to invite them.

Otherwise, when Su Zhe was filming, he had a lot of money, but how could he have such ability?

——You have the money, but you don’t know who to look for!

So "Kiss" all relied on him and Liu Heluo, "Secret" invited Chen Zhanhong, and it was not until "The Swordsman" that it was perfect, and every role was carefully selected.

The atmosphere of the "Huashan Sect" was very harmonious, until the martial arts instructor asked them to start training, they started to sigh:

"It feels like I just took a break!"

"so tired!"

But the Wuyue Sword Sect is led by Su Zhe, and the Demon Sect is led by Cheng Lanyun. All the actors are honest and very obedient.

The martial arts instructor also breathed a sigh of relief.

The martial arts instructors and practitioners in the play mainly come from mainland martial arts teams and Hong Kong. In recent years, as the crew has paid less and less attention to martial arts, their jobs have become less and less.

Now that they have received the big job of "The Swordsman", they all attach great importance to it and can't wait to use all their skills. If they are chosen by Su Zhe, they can work more in the future.

The martial arts instructor flattered Su Zhe:

"Mr. Su, you learn so fast. Have you practiced before?"

Su Zhe shook his head and said honestly:

"I have never practiced this kind of swordsmanship."

"What kind of training did Mr. Su have?" they asked curiously, and the actors also looked over curiously.

Su Zhe thought about how to use the various long and short weapons rewarded by the system. They were all killing skills, very practical means of killing on the battlefield.

But the killing skills are not good-looking to use, let alone performable. If Su Zhe wants to film martial arts scenes, he also needs to learn these moves from martial arts practitioners that although they are not powerful, they are very beautiful to fight.

So he just smiled and said:

"It's just a small number of moves. Let's continue practicing the routine."

Su Zhe said this, which is equivalent to the boss not wanting to perform and letting everyone work. Of course, no one is making noises...

"I don't believe it! Hurry up and perform!" Li Wenshi shouted loudly, trying to get others to join him.

other people:……

This kid probably has no future.

Su Zhe was also speechless. He patted her head and rolled his eyes:

"Have you finished your practice? Just start making noises here. Once you have mastered the Huashan sword technique, go and practice the Taishan, Songshan and other sword techniques."

Li Wenshi fell silent immediately when Su Zhe pressed her head, and smiled:

"Brother, let's practice the Chongling Sword Technique first."

Chong Ling Sword Technique, which is the dating sword technique jointly created by Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan, is translated into English as “gg-and-mm’s sword”, which means “brother and sister’s sword technique”, and is very expressive.

If it were an old aunt in the industry (Zhou Jiamin:???) who suddenly said this, there would be no doubt that she was trying to hook up with Su Zhe.

But Li Wenshi didn't think much of it. When she saw such an outstanding male god like Su Zhe, she couldn't help but be attracted to him and instinctively wanted to get close to him.

After all, she is just a freshman girl.

Her peers would admire them when they saw the military training instructors, student union members, basketball team members, etc., let alone when she saw Su Zhe, a big star?

But Su Zhe glanced at her and said directly:

"Let's practice Huashan Sword Technique first. I've been practicing Jade Girl Sword for a long time and I'm still not familiar with it. How can I practice the advanced Spirit-Charging Sword Technique?"

This girl is too lively and can't be too kind, otherwise who knows when she will learn the swordsmanship of the Five Mountains.

However, Su Zhe actually admires Li Wenshi. She is lively and youthful, so she can act like a junior sister.

In martial arts and fairy novels, the master brother and the junior sister are classic CPs. Without Yue Lingshan's foreshadowing, how could they set off the images of Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying?

Li Wenshi stuck out her tongue, quickly got into her stance, and continued practicing her sword.

After all, Su Zhe had the foundation and practiced the fastest. After learning the Huashan Sword Technique, he immediately left his brothers from the Huashan Sect behind and went to practice other sword techniques from the Wuyue Sword Sect. In addition, he also has to practice Dugu Nine Swords.

But Dugu Nine Swords, the martial arts director really didn't think of a suitable way to express it.

What does "there are flaws all over the body but there are no flaws at all"?

What is "Breaking Sword Style", "Breaking Knife Style", "Breaking Gun Style"...?

Just break it. Is it a causal weapon? Is there a "machine gun-breaking" or "atomic bomb-breaking" type?

How to design the action?

Someone complained:

"Mr. Su, your novel is very cool and handsome, but it is so difficult to implement it! How can you find a sword technique that can defeat all the weapons in the world? This is unscientific."

Su Zhe laughed loudly:

"After all, this is a martial arts novel, how can it rely entirely on science?"

The martial arts teachers discussed it for a long time and could only add special effects.

Their idea was to design a set of very cool swordsmanship moves, and the rest of the effect would be achieved entirely through special effects.

After all, it is a martial arts film, not a martial arts film, so it needs some special effects.

Su Zhe agreed.

Moderate special effects under realistic conditions have more visual impact.

They went to design the movements of Dugu Nine Swords. Su Zhe took advantage of practicing swordsmanship to visit the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demon Sect, and became familiar with all the actors in the crew.

The more he learned about it, the more Su Zhe admired Zhang Hongwei's casting and thought:

"It's great to work with him."

Zhang Hongwei did not work for Su Zhe, but also participated in the investment. Otherwise, as a well-known producer, he would not have come to work as a worker——

"Swordsman" invested 4 million, of which Long Aotian invested 3.2 million, accounting for 80% of the share and all copyrights.

Su Zhe must hold 100% of the copyright. After all, Jin Yong's dramas are all related to each other.

Zhang Hongwei invested RMB 8000 million, with a 20% share and no subsequent copyright.

Among them, Su Zhe's own salary is 1 million, and Cheng Lanyun's salary is 6000 million, which is 1.6 million.

Su Zhe's salary was for himself. He had always priced the film at 1 million and was guaranteed to make a lot of money. Zhang Hongwei couldn't say anything.

It's hard to determine Cheng Lanyun's price because she has never filmed a TV series. In terms of movie remuneration, the remuneration of actresses in the industry is not that high.

After discussion between the three companies, they happily settled on a salary of 6000 million yuan. They respected Cheng Lanyun very much and thanked her for helping her out in times of need.

Except for the bug of Su Zhe, the salary for this film is really high.

There are many rumors about high salary in the industry. For example, in Su Zhe's previous life, Zhou Xun's "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" was widely rumored to have a salary of 1 million, and was criticized by Yang's mother. In fact, it was only 5350 million (confirmed in the prospectus);

Ni Ni’s 9800 million is true, but it is the package price of two dramas, and each one is less than 5000 million (it is said);

Yang Mi is also widely rumored to have a high salary, but her acting salary for Sansheng was more than 3000 million (confirmed by financial reports);

Really high salary, it should be 8000 million for Da Baobao's cutout without self-reward!

Basically, the high salaries on the quotation list cannot be trusted.

So Su Zhe happily gave Cheng Lanyun 6000 million. He was really wealthy and respected his teachers.

Since you respect your teachers when it comes to money, you don’t need to be too polite verbally:

"Hahaha, Master, you are so stupid, you can't even learn such a simple trick."

Cheng Lanyun was helpless and muttered:

"It's so difficult. I worked really hard."

In fact, Ren Yingying has very few fighting scenes, which are mainly special effects. She doesn't have to practice swordsmanship as hard as the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and it is said to be very simple.

I didn't expect that she was so good in literary drama, but struggled in martial arts.

"There is no other way but to practice more." Su Zhe had no idea, so he could only encourage her, "Hahaha, the director has filmed the behind-the-scenes, and will post it on Weibo during the promotion period so that everyone can laugh at you!"

Cheng Lanyun:......

What do you call encouragement?

……

In addition to training, Su Zhe also organized the main actors to conduct script readings.

He had never done this before. After all, the scenes in "Bad Kiss" and "Secret" were very focused on him and the heroine. As long as the two of them cooperated well, there would be no problem.

But Su Zhe had the final product in mind, so there was no need to discuss it at all, he just guided the heroine to act together.

But "The Swordsman" is different. The supporting characters also have a lot of roles. Only when they are well shaped can we build this splendid martial arts world.

With this real world of martial arts, Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying can "smiling proudly".

Therefore, this play also challenges everyone's literary skills and cooperation ability.

While reading the script, a group of veteran actors spoke freely. Su Zhe marveled at their abilities and took the opportunity to improve the script.

At the same time, the novel version of "Swordsman" written by him also became popular among the crew.

Countless actors, martial artists, and crew members, especially men, young and old, are obsessed with "The Swordsman."

Some people even almost got injured because they stayed up late reading and kept yawning during training during the day.

He even argued:

"I stayed up late studying the plot, what's the problem? I'm working overtime, and I don't even need overtime pay!"

In the end, Su Zhe had no choice but to collect "The Swordsman" with the entire crew, just like the teacher who collected novels back then, emphasizing discipline:

"Only during the prescribed script reading time can we watch "The Swordsman" together and study the plot. In addition, everyone has signed a confidentiality contract and is not allowed to leak the plot!"

After this own incident, the training camp also reached its climax.

I learn new moves every day and have new ideas every night when I read around.

Everyone is quickly getting into character.

This makes many veteran actors feel emotional:

"This is what it felt like back then! Everyone was doing one thing seriously for the sake of the drama. It would be great if they were all like Su Zhe."

They think too much, and the general crew would not be willing to do so! Su Zhe paid millions more in salary for training!

This is because the biggest names, Su Zhe and Cheng Lanyun, participated without any complaints, while the others, who were either veteran actors or newcomers, could all receive intensive training, and their overtime pay was not much.

If it were another crew, would you like the big-name stars to work overtime for training? Can you afford 208 million a day?

Not to mention working overtime, even for normal filming, some "big stars" didn't come a few times, and they relied on stuntmen except for close-up scenes.

But that’s what works are. If you spend more time and energy, you’ll be more likely to produce good works.

Just spending money without thinking about it is also a piece of rubbish!

Of course, this is not to say that money is not important, money is very important, but money is to ensure that everyone can devote their time and energy to it. After all, most people cannot concentrate on creating when they are hungry.

So after a few weeks of training, almost all the actors were transformed.

"The Swordsman" is finally about to officially start filming!

Everyone is excited:

Although the training camp is very good and everyone is growing, we still have to look at the growth results.

The first scene was filmed from the Huashan School!

　Recently, the salary of celebrities has actually dropped. Not to mention the celebrities like Da Baobao who have been banned, but the normal front-line stars, such as Sun Li, have dropped from more than 6000 million at their peak to 2000 million. It shows that the market has regained its composure and is no longer superstitious about celebrities, which is a good thing.

　　But the timeline of this article is a little earlier, still during the peak period of celebrity salary.
