Chapter 502 Reviewing the script again
The reason why it is said that the action design at the end of "Mythology" is the most difficult is not without reason. It starts with Wang Xiaohu's revised script.

In Wang Xiaohu's opinion, "Mythology" can be divided into two parts, ancient and modern. Among them, the ancient part is filmed according to the plot set earlier, and the modern part will not follow the plot of the original "Mythology".

After several discussions between Wang Xiaohu and Li Bihua, the current script of "Mythology" was finally adjusted, that is, all the plots of the first draft were rejected. Descend from expert to apprentice position.

In the modern part of the script, it is necessary to show the unpredictable organs of the Qin Dynasty and the suspended splendid palace beyond human imagination. These all require superb sets, and many of them need special effects and special effects. The special effects cost hundreds of dollars.

Of course, Yuan Heping and others don't need to worry about these things. Their main task is to complete the dangerous fighting action design of Professor Gu, Tiger, and the princess.So after taking out this script, these lunatics started squatting in the Concord meeting room to toss.

From making the plan outline by hand at the beginning, to each person designing action sketches according to the plot, and then dividing into several groups for action rehearsal, Wang Xiaohu screened the actions according to the designs, and combined his own ideas with the actions in the original "Myth". Finally, several sets of movements were determined, but even with such a concerted effort, only one tenth of the huge workload was completed.

"If this goes on, I don't know how to get the year of the monkey!" Wang Xiaohu scratched his hair depressedly, feeling very bad.He simply threw all the action design sketches on the table, and walked to the balcony to take a breath.

"The concept of time, there is no news from the mainland recently. Grandma, I thought it would be very smooth to enter the mainland for filming this time. Who would have thought that it would be so troublesome."

Wang Xiaohu stood on the balcony and complained depressedly, the phone in the study rang at this moment, he hurried back to the study to grab the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm Zhao Gang!" The voice on the other side of the phone was still very hearty, which made Wang Xiaohu almost cry when he heard it.

"Old Zhao, I finally got your call. You don't know that I'm going to be in a panic these few days. If you don't call me again, I'm going to kill Xingshi to ask the crime!" Wang Xiaohu was excited on the phone Say.

Zhao Gang coughed twice, and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry for you. There have been too many domestic affairs recently. The college entrance examination system was restored just a year ago, and the Second Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee was held a year later. The whole country is very busy, so your affairs have been delayed, please forgive me, please forgive me."

"Old Zhao, you can't let me shave my head and make me hot, can't I delay entering the mainland for filming?" Wang Xiaohu said depressingly.

"Hey, didn't I just communicate with Minister Huang Zhen of the Ministry of Culture? Our requirement here is to review the script first." Zhao Gang said with a smile on the phone.

"Uh, you have to review the script again?" Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows, feeling extremely unhappy.

Zhang Gang said: "Yes, now is a critical period. We have just ended the chaos in our country. We must strictly review and check some things, so you have to be patient."

Wang Xiaohu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, blood was dripping from his heart, time, time was wasted by these so-called bureaucracies, hurry up, I have been preparing for this drama for more than a year, and your uncle’s I started to ask for a script, what the hell did you do so early?

However, there is no way around this, as it is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, I believe that from now on, Dalu will have a complete concept of himself, so Wang Xiaohu endured his unhappiness, curled his lips and said: "Okay, just review the script when reviewing the script! I hope the shorter the review time, the better!"

"Well, Mr. Wang, I have to remind you that the script you sent this time should be a complete draft, and it's best not to make a lot of revisions like last time, lest, lest hehe, you should be able to Do you understand?"

"Understood, Lao Zhao, don't worry this time, the script will never be revised in any way!" Wang Xiaohu said with assurance.

Wang Xiaohu knew why Zhao Gang made such an exhortation, because something like this happened in the script of "Shattering Earth" last time. The script Wang Xiaohu sent to the mainland for review had undergone great changes after the official start of filming. If the people of the whole country are busy with earthquake relief, the country must have a heart-to-heart talk with itself and ask why it modified the script without authorization.

It’s not good to cooperate with mainland China in this era. They think that once the script is approved, you have to shoot according to the script, and you can’t make any revisions and adjustments in the middle. If some plot developments have a negative impact on the image of mainland China , it must be modified.

In order to prevent the leaders of the Ministry of Culture from mainland China from misunderstood that the films were all grotesque or too commercial, Wang Xiaohu simply explained the script in a comprehensive way. Those plots are to promote Chinese culture, which plots are to establish the image of Chinese soldiers, and which parts The most representative of China's great rivers and mountains, etc., the number of words in the explanation alone far exceeds the number of words in the script, and a large stack of paper wasted nearly a week of Wang Xiaohu's time.

Despite all the discomfort, Wang Xiaohu sent the script of "Mythology" to the mainland through Director Liang of the Hong Kong Branch of Xinhua News Agency in the fastest time.

I believe that in a few days, the Mainland Ministry of Culture will receive the script and review it.

During the review of the script, Wang Xiaohu was not idle. He went to the company meeting room every day to check whether the movements designed by Qi Xiaofu were reasonable, and at the same time distributed the script to the main actors in Hong Kong.

Just as important as the script is the choice of actors. According to Wang Xiaohu's plan, he will play the leading roles in "Mythology", playing the roles of Meng Yi, the general of the Qin Dynasty, and Tiger, the archaeologist.

The heroine, the princess, did not bother Wang Xiaohu. The original version of Princess Yushu was played by Korean actress Kim Hee-sun. Wearing Korean national costumes is very eye-catching. Even the white dress in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is also very stunning. .

Therefore, the candidate for the princess must first be beautiful, and the second is to be stunning in ancient costumes. At present, there are two candidates for female artists in Xiehe Company in this regard. One is of course Brigitte Lin who has just signed a contract. Her ancient costume style is still good. , but her appearance is slightly neutral, especially her eyebrows.

The other one is Wang Xiaohu's wife, Zhao Yazhi, whose appearance as the white lady in her previous life made her very popular. She has become the goddess in the hearts of thousands of movie fans, and is also the number one beauty in ancient costumes.

When Wang Xiaohu told his wife this idea, Zhao Yazhi was shocked at first, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Ah Hu, actually when you changed the script, I wanted to ask you for this role." Zhao Yazhi said with a light smile.

"Ah?" Wang Xiaohu was taken aback.

Zhao Yazhi explained: "In the past, you were unswervingly using Hollywood actresses. I can't say anything. After all, you have to consider the box office of the film. Since you revised the script, I have been trying to figure out the character of the princess, and I think this role is very good. challenge."

This is true. When Wang Xiaohu was revising the script, he often communicated with Zhao Yazhi and Li Bihua. In fact, subconsciously, Wang Xiaohu designed the character of the princess according to the image of his wife. Valuable advice.

"Tsk tsk, it's better for my wife, who knows how to save my husband a lot of actor's salary." Wang Xiaohu chuckled, isn't that the case, the two are husband and wife, and they have been on-screen husband and wife for a long time.

Except that the two were not married in "The Righteous Hero", when did Wang Xiaohu pay his wife a salary when filming "Ip Man" and "A Hu"?No, absolutely not, who has ever seen money taken from the left hand and handed over to his right hand, has a simple thing become so complicated?
"Hmph! I'm not as nasty as you think, I just want to challenge myself." Zhao Yazhi raised her head and said disdainfully: "To be honest, I haven't made a film for many years since I finished filming "A Hu". Yes, and this movie is a big production, and the requirements for the princess's acting skills are also very high. It is still a costume drama, and it must be challenging to shoot, I want to act!"

Wang Xiaohu looked at his wife who was suffering from drama addiction, and could only smile wryly, "I'm hanging on to Wia, and it may be a long time."

"Don't be afraid, your wife is not so fragile." Zhao Yazhi shook her powder fist and said, "I haven't stopped practicing in the past few years. Don't think that you are the only one who is practicing. I am the master of two apprentices now! "

The two apprentices are of course Brigitte Lin and Lin Fengjiao. Zhao Yazhi, as the manager of the two beauties, besides being in charge of their normal work, also buys one get one free to teach them Wing Chun, which is a good story in the film industry.

"By the way, if the two of us are filming, who will take care of Jia En?" Wang Xiaohu suddenly thought of his son, the little guy is not a good role to serve now, he is more than two years old and is very naughty, running around the house all day Those who came and went, especially Wang Xiaohu's practice room, this kid had to crawl in and out of the practice room every day, so frightened Zhao Yazhi directly put a lock on the practice room to prevent the child from going in and messing about.

"Well, just leave it to my mother to take care of it." Zhao Yazhi said that there was some hopelessness here, "Hey, it would be great if Guohao was still at home. I blame you. I promised Master Huang to send Guohao to the United States. Hmph, Now there is no free labor to help babysit.”
