Play Xiangjiang

Chapter [-] Those Actors

The hero and heroine of "Myth" and the villain Professor Gu have been determined, and another important role is naturally William, the scientist who studies the mysterious floating force, which Liang Jiahui concealed in the original version.

Perhaps influenced by the original version, Zhang Yi still invited Liang Jiahui to play.And Liang Jiahui just finished filming "Changing Face" and got rid of the blockade by the Taiwan authorities because of this, so naturally he would not reject Zhang Yi, and even turned down many starring roles because of this.

Others, such as Meng Yi's lieutenant Nan Gongyan and the generals of the Qin Dynasty, did not have many roles, so Zhang Yi did not specifically look for actors.In mainland China, it is not difficult to find suitable actors.

The preparation of a film is obviously not as simple as just determining the actors.

Jiying Special Effects Company, now Zhang Yi has invested a lot of money, has developed rapidly. Although it is still a loss-making company and the only one in Zhang Yi's industry that is losing money, it is the company that Zhang Yi attaches the most importance to.

Zhang Yi is satisfied with the development of Jiying special effects, at least worthy of Zhang Yi's investment.

The special effects involved in this movie are undoubtedly the heavenly palace in the underground palace and the floating power. Obviously, these things cannot be directly shot, and need to be produced with post-production special effects.

But Zhang Yi was not very satisfied with the design of the original underground Tiangong, and he was not very satisfied with the terracotta warriors around the Tiangong, so he put a lot of effort into this.

"This is the Tiangong! Very good." Zhang Yi looked at the designed Tiangong model and was very satisfied.The model is not a single one, but a group.Moreover, Zhang Yi also designed the Nantianmen, preparing to stage a martial fight outside the Nantianmen.

"Boss, look at these crossbow models again, how about the chariot model?" Lan Naicai said to Zhang Yi.

When Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately became interested.The arrows and crossbows of the previous dynasty were absolutely powerful at the time, and Qin was able to rule the world.Absolutely and its powerful crossbow, the chariot has a role that cannot be ignored.Moreover, these two things are definitely sharp weapons in the war. Zhang Yi wants to restore the ancient war scenes, so naturally these two things will not be missing.Today, he still can't forget the shock of Qin Guo's arrow crossbow when he watched "Heroes".

"Not bad, not bad! Compared with the people who designed these powerful crossbows and battlefields, I checked a lot of relevant information." Zhang Yi nodded and said.The strong crossbow and the chariot Zhang Yi hired a special person to design, and spent a lot of money on it, but the money was still worth it.

This is an ancient scene in the film.Zhang Yi didn't change much, but just explained how Zhao Gao and Qin Er Shi killed Meng Yi.Among them, Fusu and Mengtian were naturally mentioned.As for Meng Yi's robbery, it is also the most important part of the entire war scene, even more grand than the Fanbang army's snatching of the princess.

For the original version, it seems a bit unreasonable to snatch the princess, but shoot randomly at the carriage without fear of hurting the princess.The war scenes of stealing people are naturally different from the war scenes of killing people.Different wars naturally require different weapons.

The ancient scene of this film involves the military of the East.History, art, etc., on clothing, weapons and other props.Zhang Yi didn't want to deviate from history, so Zhang Yi spent a lot of energy, invited many people, and even invited many experts.

certainly.In addition to the action design of this film, I still spent a lot of thought.

Yuan Kui approached the door after returning from Jiying Special Effects, and showed some designs of the film to Zhang Yi for review.

Zhang Yi watched Yuan Kui's movements.The frown became more and more severe, while Yuan Kui, who was watching from the side, was heartbroken and looked at Zhang Yi nervously.

"The action of this film involves fighting and fighting on the ancient battlefield, as well as modern fighting. There must be a difference between these two aspects. The ancient fighting is mostly about fighting with weapons, while the modern is naturally mostly about fists and kicks. This is well designed. However, it is not enough. Especially the design of battlefield fighting is not enough. Double fighting, multiplayer fighting, battle of a hundred people, battle of a thousand people. Battle of horses, battle of chariots, we can discuss these again. You design it immediately The battle between swords and spears is very entertaining, but it is somewhat distorted. The Qin Dynasty did not have stirrups, and cavalry at that time mostly cooperated with chariots, or fought with bows and arrows, bronze long swords, and halberds." Zhang Yi Looking at Yuan Kui, he asked again, "You designed this all by yourself?"

Yuan Kui nodded.

Zhang Yi thought for a while, and then said: "One person is short in skills, and his imagination is limited. Even if you and I discuss it, it may not be perfect. Among your senior brothers, Bufan should call more. Before going to the mainland to shoot, the best So that we can design the fighting on the battlefield."

"Well, okay." Yuan Kui nodded, thought for a while, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, can you find some time to go to the mainland for inspection first, after all, some actions need to be matched with the shooting location."

"Well, you are right. I will arrange it as soon as possible. Before the filming starts, I need to do some on-site inspections. As for this film, the action is as realistic as possible. It cannot exceed the scope of manpower. Of course, there is a levitation force in the underground palace. Next, it’s okay to fly around.” Zhang Yi continued.

"Mythology" is being prepared in a low-key manner, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world. As Zhang Yi's new film, it has attracted a lot of attention in Hong Kong.

What Zhang Yi didn't expect was that this movie actually attracted great attention from the mainland.Of course, Zhang Yi has to suspect that this importance comes from his investment intention of hundreds of millions.

"Mr. Zhang, our film has been highly valued by the Cultural Bureau. You asked about the need for the military to cooperate with the film, and you got an answer. It is free for up to 1 people, and you can provide [-] good horses. And, if necessary The Cultural Bureau can send history professors from various universities and experts from the Terracotta Warriors as guides." Liao Yiyuan said to Zhang Yi with a smile.

When Zhang Yi heard this, he was a little dumbfounded.As for the number of actors in the army, he always thought that 3000 or 1 people would be enough, but he never thought that the number could reach 1. What kind of scene is [-] people?Do we need so many people?After all, clothing props are not ready-made.

The most important thing was the five hundred good horses, that was what really shocked Zhang Yi.As for those experts and professors, Zhang Yi naturally would not refuse anyone.To make this film more rigorous, why not do it.

"Myth" is not a movie with the main theme, and it can be said to be against the sky to be able to do so.This had to surprise Zhang Yi.After all, the hundreds of millions of investment is just an intention.

However, in addition to Zhang Yi's investment intention of several hundred million yuan, there is another important reason why mainland China attaches great importance to this movie is Zhang Yi himself.

Zhang Yi is now more and more influential in Hong Kong and even in Southeast Asia.This influence is no longer just incidental to fame in the past.After all, Zhang Yi's net worth skyrocketed due to a foreign exchange, and his status also went up accordingly.And this incident also showed Zhang Yi's talent in finance.

In addition, Zhang Yi became the vice president of Ming Pao, and it may not be long before Zhang Yi has another influential newspaper, Ming Pao, under his banner, grasping a side of public opinion.

In other words, what the mainland pays attention to is not movies, but Zhang Yi.

"Mr. Liao, can you make arrangements for me to bring some people to the mainland for a field trip?" Zhang Yi came back to his senses and said immediately.

Going to the mainland is not only a field trip, but also a connection with the other side.

"Of course there is no problem, I will arrange it as soon as possible." Liao Yiyuan said with a smile.

"Xiao Min, do you want to go to the mainland with me this time?" Zhang Yi asked Zhou Huimin.

"I won't go this time. "My Sassy Girlfriend" is about to be released, and I have to be busy promoting it, and I have to figure out the role of Yushu slowly." Zhou Huimin smiled and said, "Ayi, When will you go? Will you attend the movie premiere, this is my first starring movie."

"Don't worry. I'm going to the mainland, probably next month. Of course, I will attend the premiere of "My Sassy Girlfriend." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "However, I'm afraid it will take about a month to go back and forth this time. , I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back for your birthday."

"Hehe. It's okay, birthdays are celebrated every year." Zhou Huimin smiled, and then said to Zhang Yi, "With you, every day is as happy as a birthday."

"Just be happy." Zhang Yi looked at Zhou Huimin and said, "Me too."

On October 10, "My Sassy Girlfriend" premiered, the first romance film written by Zhang Yi, which attracted many media and audiences.

That night, Zhang Yi accompanied Zhou Huimin to attend. (To be continued..)
