Chikan Ancient Town has a 3-kilometer-long arcade street with about 600 ancient houses built along the Tan River. The south bank is a countryside and the north bank is a city. All arcades are far larger than the huge group of western-style buildings on Kaiping Old Street.

It is known as the "fifth ancient town in China".

On November 22, "The Grandmaster" held a start-up ceremony in Chikan Film and Television City, Guangzhou. Meng Qingzhou originally planned to go to Jinzhou, Harbin to take pictures of the temple first, but at the suggestion of Xue Xiaolu and Du Kefeng, the itinerary changed;

The actor's condition has not been adjusted yet, so he directly went to the subsequent plot, and Xue Xiaolu was worried about delaying progress;

Yuan Yumei personally served as the producer and signed an agreement with Chikan Film and Television City as early as October. From today until April 1 next year, the film and television city will not be opened to the public, and she is worried about the plot being leaked;

Even at the opening ceremony, Lao Meng was overwhelmed by the two martial arts instructors around him;

Yuan Heping and Xu Haifeng argued over the action design in the movie. One wanted to highlight Wing Chun's characteristics of winning by distance, and the other wanted to capture Wing Chun's attack method design from the inside out;

Meng Qingzhou had no objection to both methods. What he wanted was to show the background of the times and cultural heritage through kung fu;

"Guide Yuan, Lao Xu, can you make a comprehensive look? The first film will be filmed tonight. You can't think of it again on the spot. If you really want to say it's amazing, it must be the most powerful unlimited fighting. Otherwise, we can also learn from it?"

What is unlimited fighting technique?

In a word, I will kill you by any means: if you have an ashtray on your hand, don’t use an ashtray when you have a broken beer bottle, don’t use a broken beer bottle when you have a watermelon knife, don’t use a watermelon knife when you have a folded stool, don’t use a folded stool if you have a big black star, don’t use a big black star, don’t use a big black star, don’t use a Minigang six-barrel machine cannon, don’t use AK-47 when you have a nuclear weapon... Congratulations, you are already invincible in the world, and only Uncle Ao, ** and others are just like you.

This is the unlimited fighting technique, the most modern way is better than moves.

Yuan Heping and Xu Haifeng instantly gave up their thoughts and stared at Meng Qingzhou with sharp eyes. He was not afraid that you were the boss. It was related to the dispute over martial arts schools. The two formed a united front;

"Director Meng, we are filming Chinese Kung Fu. Unlimited fighting is purely a hooligan way of playing. How could it be used on Ip Man? He is a true master of Wing Chun! "

"There are many genres of Wing Chun, and I and Director Yuan are just a little different. Don't worry, you won't delay the shooting!"

Meng Qingzhou nodded expressionlessly, he could always calm down now.

After the simple start-up ceremony, the crew began to take their place and prepare tonight's night scene, which is Ip Man's first martial arts performance;

Wang Jiawei's movies have never been highlighted by stories and plots. He has always been a very pure film language user, and often supports the entire movie through audio-visual art constructed by pictures and music;

Meng Qingzhou is just the opposite of him. Since the first film "33 Days of Love Break", he has mainly relied on stories and plots close to life to attract audiences, so he felt tricky about filming "The Grandmaster";

The original "The Grandmaster" was filmed for three years, and this is simply incomprehensible to Meng Qingzhou. No wonder Deng Guangrong almost killed the King of Sunglasses back then;

"Don't be so close to the lights. Two groups here face the water on the ground. Xiao Wu, your two units are mainly staring at the rain, remember!"

After discussing with Lao Meng, Dukefeng adjusted the camera position;

"Lao Du, there are many close-ups and close-ups in this section. Please help me look at the side camera."

The fight at the beginning mainly reflects Ip Man's superb martial arts. The focus of the shooting is to show off the routines and figures of Ip Man's fists and feet.

One word, how cool it is!

Lao Meng and Dukefeng used the shooting method of stretching the grid, which was higher than the shooting speed of 24 grids per second. The entire action showed a slow motion effect. It not only reflected the rapid speed of Ip Man's fist and foot, but also used the slow drop of rain to highlight the powerful explosive power.

This photography technique was agreed upon by Meng Qingzhou after consulting Du Kefeng, which improved the precise visual experience of the close-up shots, and also highlighted the characteristics of Ye Wen's high martial arts and excellent psychological quality, which has a good narrative effect and rendering effect on the development of the plot.

I was not that nervous on the first day, and Liang Chaowei seemed to be in good condition. In less than two hours of this scene, I finished work;

"Weizai, how about it? I feel a little bit!"

Before the filming, Meng Qingzhou specially reminded several starring actors that they should ask them to bring up the things that are not right in time without any concern;

"It's okay, some of it is not stretched. Director Meng, if there is a fighting scene in the future, let's move first, and the filming will be smoother!"

“OK!”

...

"The Grandmaster" is under the custody of Meng Qingzhou, and the progress is smooth, but "The Ancient Sword Qi Tan" far away in Hengdian was disappointed. On the first day of the filming, Li Xiaolu was half an hour late. Director Li Mingyu was supported by her boss, so of course she was not afraid of her. She came up and taught her a lesson, which was also a killing chicken to scare the monkey;

Li Xiaolu was unhappy. She had followed the path of Huang Zhongjun in Huayi and finally got the role. Moreover, judging from the situation of the crew, she was a senior figure at least. Li Mingyu gave her face like this, which made her feel embarrassed!

"Director Li, you're just a few minutes late, there's no need to say that!"

"How many minutes? Li Xiaolu, we notified yesterday that we arrived at the crew at 8:30. It's already nine o'clock. You are also an old man in the circle. Don't you know these rules?"

Xiaohu and Gulina came out of the dressing room. Seeing the atmosphere, they hurried over. Li Xiaolu was Huang Zhongjun personally called her to recommend it. No matter what, they are also big shots. Mimi must give this little face!

"What's going on?"

Li Xiaolu dared to stab Li Mingyu. As soon as Yang Mi came forward, she immediately became honest. This person is not a good person. Not to mention that she is unreasonable, even if she is not reasonable, she has to rest;

"It's okay, Yang Mi, I'm late, Director Li asks me to pay attention!"

Mimi didn't want to have a bad time on the first day of the computer, and she called the sermon with a dark face: "You're so good at standing, and you're not ready yet!"

"The first scene is ready, Mr. Yang, look..."

"What are you looking at? I'm not a director. If you have any questions, please contact Director Li, or you'll find a producer!"

The court affairs were so scared that Mr. Yang, isn’t the producer still you?

All the newcomers at the halftime saw this scene. In addition to reminding themselves to abide by the crew discipline, they had a more intuitive feeling about Yang Mi's status, especially Chen Tingwei and Ma Tianyu, who were both a little bit slim;

Although Meng Qingzhou's "The Grandmaster" is so arrogant, the real cost is not as good as this "Ark Sword Qi Tan". Many people in the crew know that Hua Zixiang is standing behind Wan Chongshan. The reason why he joins is that he has the idea of ​​getting a relationship with Wan Chongshan;

Mimi has also made several movies, but she was still frightened by these expenses for the first time she became a producer;

Although movie actors often spend hundreds of millions of dollars, they should also be distinguished, because there is a principle: actors usually act in TV series for money, and movies are more famous (especially actors who usually use TV series as their main works).

If it is an actor who mainly acts in TV series, his movie pay is relatively lower than that in TV series. For example, Wang Zhiwen, Chen Baoguo, Jiang Wenli, etc., the absolute big names in the TV series market, their movie prices will not be too high;

If the actor has acted in several movies and gradually turned to movies, he will take on TV series less, and once he takes on the order, the price will be very expensive, such as Sun Honglei.

But if the actor is a big name in the film industry, he will basically not take on TV series because his movie pay is already very high, but this is relatively rare.

There is a overlap in the range of actors that TV series and movies usually choose, but the difference is still quite large.

Overall, if you want to sell a movie, you must hire a few big brands. The price of big brands is relatively high, and it is not uncommon for a person to have a budget of a TV series. However, if you watch the proportion of the actor’s pay to the total budget, it is very likely that the TV series will often be a little higher.

Simply put, TV series focuses on stories. Although the picture performance is now paying more and more attention to it, this part is not so outstanding after all, and this part saves much money than movies;

In terms of actors, although the price of actors in TV series has increased sharply recently, there is still a gap in the price difference between first-line TV series actors and first-line movie actors.

Like the male protagonist Qiao Zhenyu, the salary is only 180,000 yuan per episode, and Yang Mi himself sets it higher, which is only 500,000 yuan;

The pay for "The Grandmaster" is different. Liang Chaowei, the general market price is about 8 million. If it is sunglasses, it is only a friendly price of 3 million. When it comes to Meng Qingzhou, for the sake of Emperor Ying, Liu Jialin called 6 million, and Lao Meng also recognized it. The key is that the other person is worth it;

Zhang Zi also has 5 million, because it is because of Lao Meng's face;

...

"Yanjing Meets Seattle" was officially released, with a total box office of 712 million yuan. This is also the first movie in Wanchongshan to exceed 700 million yuan. However, because Meng Qingzhou and Xue Xiaolu were both on the crew, Zhong Li's idea of ​​holding a celebration banquet was lost, so she could only buy the headlines that had been bought for several consecutive days, and was widely publicized;

But what really made Wan Chongshan famous was "Super Body", starring Tianxian. One month after its release, the domestic box office exceeded 500 million, and the global box office had exceeded 380 million US dollars. Qinglian Film and Television was under the jurisdiction of Wan Chongshan. This impressive performance naturally made major film and television companies in the circle jealous;

Huayi has invested in Feng Delun's two-part "Tai Chi". The "Wilderness" directed and produced in the United States has been a great success. The Huang brothers hope that he can bring this luck back to China;

After seeing the sweetness of the big light, Lao Wang and Bona Yudong called Meng Qingzhou, and they were full of money, so they were looking forward to Lao Meng taking them to fly;

Zi Xuan and the other two who stayed in Yanjing also received good news from France and Qinglian Film and Television Harrison. Their full investment "Unreachable" was released worldwide and achieved remarkable results;

The film directed by famous director Olivi Nakash is not on a high budget, without any cool gimmicks of Hollywood action blockbusters, and has created a miracle in French film history for 9.5 million euros.

After the release of "Unreachable", it has occupied the French box office champion for three consecutive weeks. Judging from its current reputation, local media inferred that it is very likely to break the record of the classic love film "Titanic".

This film, based on real events, has won the Golden Kirin Award and Best Actor Award at this year's Tokyo Film Festival at the end of November.

The two starring actors: François Cruse and Oma Sai. The two male protagonists have been named the actor with their vivid interpretation and tacit cooperation.

It was not until the news of the movie won the award reached China that people in the entertainment industry discovered that the producer was actually Hua Zixiang, which was even more shocking than "Super Body";

"Unreachable" has a box office of US$248 million in two weeks since its global release. The investment agreement signed by Hua Zixiang was 60% of the box office revenue as their investment return. Now it seems that this is a classic film and television investment;

Many domestic film and television companies or media groups have been looking for the best foreign film and television investment model. Hua Zixiang, the firecracker, ignited the enthusiasm of many people;

In fact, there are many domestic investors who invest in Hollywood movies, including "Kung Fu King" in which Huayi has participated, "Mummy 3" in which Shanghai Film and Television participated, and "Snowflake Secret Fan" in which Huayi and Shanghai Film and Television both have participated, etc.

However, these projects are actually very risky, and the partners must have at least one of the five major ones. Otherwise, it will be difficult to guarantee how much it can be sold overseas.

Statistics show that in 2010, 46 of the 47 domestic films sold by 17 domestic production companies overseas were co-production films, but the box office scale of most of these films overseas was much lower than that of domestic, not to mention the copyright fees that can be obtained by production.

Moreover, in the co-production film, the main selling points of movies with better box office numbers in overseas are action elements and the types are relatively single.

It is something that many industry insiders have never thought about being able to make profits by investing in feature films!

Soon some media disclosed Hua Zixiang's investment details, and Yang Xiaohu, who was in Hengdian, was also jumped by the reporters who flocked to him;

"Mr. Yang, the box office of "Unreachable" is almost over 300 million US dollars. Will Hua Zixiang adapt it and put it on the domestic big screen?"

"300 million? So fast, wasn't it still more than 200 million the day before yesterday? It's not that we have a good vision. A friend recommended this project to Tangtang. At that time, he also went there with a try-out attitude. I can only say that the director did a good job and we only benefited from it!"

"Adaptation? I can't say it well. The national conditions are different. It's hard to change. I'll tell you after we go back and discuss it!"

"Mr. Yang, I heard that it was recommended by Mr. Wan Chongsan, Meng. Is it true?"

Mimi's eyes turned around and she was about to tell the truth, but she was suddenly pulled by Gulina beside her, and then she realized that it would be better to have less trouble;

"No, Director Meng has a good project, so he must have given Wan Chongshan. How could he take care of our Hua Zixiang? You are thinking too much!"

The reporters all vomited so quickly. Yang Mi, okay, is it really good to talk lies with your eyes open?

Your Hua Zixiang project is not taken care of by Boss Meng. Also, who doesn’t know that Hua Zixiang is our back garden of Mr. Meng. Can’t you tell the truth?

"Mr. Yang, Tong Liya was found to have a child with a crew of "The Grandmaster". Do you know this?"

"Ah? Is there such a thing? Where did Yaya come from? Don't talk nonsense, be careful I will sue you for slander!"

When Tong Liya and Zhou Tong and aunt took Xiaoyu to the ancient town, they didn’t know who discovered it. Zhou Yun bought the photo, but the news spread;

Even Xiaogu and Reba were questioned by reporters in Yanjing, which scared several people to sweat in cold sweat;

Although having children without marriage is not a big deal, there are still many concerns for public figures. Meng Qingzhou has issued a ban on the crew of "The Grandmaster". If anyone spreads it, he will not be able to do anything;
Chapter completed!
