Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In fact, after confirming that the film will be filmed in China, Shen Zhenghui has already calculated that even 130 million is more than enough. If this is the case, then it is necessary to carefully calculate how to spend the money.  Naturally, the construction of the studio was operated through Wang Anping's relationship. In the end, it was a matter of mutual benefit. The completion of "The Magic Apprentice" also left a film and television base for China.  On the other hand, Shen Zhenghui will naturally not return the extra money to Colombia, and Kasuga will not care about the money being saved. When he expected to speed up the filming progress, he had already thought of making the best use of it.  Every penny, and the inexhaustible 130 million in filming expenses, can be directly used as the filming expenses for the sequel.  Of course, to do this well, the most important thing is to find someone who is loyal enough, trustworthy and very professional.  So Shen Zhenghui thought of his uncle who once worked in a bank.  Although he still has high hopes for ATV's TV series, under the current circumstances, it is self-evident which is more important. In addition, this year is the variety show season of ATV, with a series of TV series from Japan and South Korea.  The purchased variety show copyrights, including several major shows such as the Miss Asia beauty pageant and "The Voice of Asia", also destined that ATV's work focus could not be entirely on TV series, so Wang Bin was transferred to handle the accounts, and Wang Jun stayed at ATV to continue.  Accepting exercise is an irresponsible but very effective method.  Shen Zhenghui took full advantage of his local advantages and appointed his sister-in-law as catering logistics.  My sister-in-law worked in the food department in the 1980s.  Later, I partnered with several brothers and sisters-in-law to open a restaurant and engaged in vcd rental and other ups and downs for several years. Of course, I accumulated a lot of experience.  But it took a lot of hard work and didn't make much money. Now, after her husband, she also works for her nephew.  Her many years of social experience came in handy. She went to the capital to invest in opening a restaurant and poached a few frustrated chefs. When she arrived in this desolate town, there were both Chinese and Western chefs. She unified the logistics and purchases herself.  A large hotel was built out of a temporary wooden house.  All kinds of Western food and Chinese snacks are available.  After ensuring that the crew had a meal.  A special window for external supply has also been opened, which also ensures the convenience of dining for those who have nothing to do and come to such remote places to watch movie extras.  Many local villagers even came here to eat. The local government felt that the quality of the small kitchen equipped by the crew was very high, so they hosted the government reception here.  There are also a few more activities for bored officials.  I specially come to this remote town to eat Western food or Chinese food with unique flavors from all over the world, and then watch the blond female stars.  Of course, there are also those who come specifically to see male celebrities. The fujoshi atmosphere has not spread yet. In the future, fujoshis will reminisce online about the beauty of Gada in the Northeast, where countless international young girls stayed here for a period of time.  Time is all.  So with the help of Wang Bin and his wife, the expenses on the books were pretty good and there were not many problems found. Those European and American actors who traveled all the way to China to film unexpectedly discovered the loveliness of China. They faced them every day.  There are a wide variety of Chinese meals, dim sum, and snacks.  Even the French were stunned. The Japanese on the crew had long abandoned their own food habits and enjoyed eating Mapo tofu, fish head with chopped pepper, boiled beef and other dishes every day.  Those white people finally gave up the monotonous Western recipes and threw themselves into the embrace of Eastern recipes. One of the joys of everyone every day is to exchange opinions on food.  It wasn't until a few actors ate so much that they seemed to burst their armor that the assistant director came out to warn them to keep their bodies in shape.  However, a simple gym was soon built where the crew lived, and a lot of equipment was added.  Because these actors are interested in Chinese food.  As a result, many well-prepared Western foods became cheaper for the local people or the onlookers.  Or government workers and leaders who come to have a meal.  One of the leaders seemed to think that such a temporary building was not worthy of such delicious food, so he suggested to the crew to build a canteen building.  Shen Zhenghui had no time to talk to him, but after he expressed this idea in his own words, he was investigated after a while.  The scenery built here is indeed majestic, but the crew will not stay here much longer. After more than a month of filming, Shen Zhenghui finished filming the scenes in Sophien Kingdom. When filming many outdoor scenes, he had to leave early and return late.  The post-production of a movie like this with a magical story takes much more time than the filming.  When the young actors are attacked by the "Doomsday Catastrophe" magic during the performance, the assistant director must constantly remind them what the scene is now through a loudspeaker outside the venue, so that they can perform the corresponding expressions accordingly.  After applying makeup, Mario looks particularly weak, which is also consistent with the identity of the protagonist Enleko of the story.  Of course, in a pair ofUnder the garb, his body is toned and strong.  His brother Marco plays the role of Laerta, the young knight of Caoqi. Since he has no role for the time being, he is often asked to play the role of the knight who escorts the princess, or the sand pirate who hunts down the princess and her party.  Even though he knew that it was impossible for him to show his face in such a lens, Marco still seemed very excited and did not care at all that his brother was the absolute protagonist of the movie.  Their mother patiently watched her sons¡¯ performances on the set every day, bringing them water, lunch boxes, etc., and also helped the drama staff do whatever they could.  She was such a gentle and affable person that all the cast and crew loved her, and by the way, they were fond of her sons.  Everyone knows that his son has become famous, just like Daniel Radcliffe who filmed Harry Potter, he can become a superstar because of one movie.  However, the premise is that they can learn more from this film that is not limited to this film.  Of course, Daniel is disabled. He became famous too early, and no one could have expected the terrible physical development.  But Mario and Marco are different.  Mario is 16 years old.  Marco is 21 years old, and what they have shown is endless potential, as long as they don't suddenly gain weight or encounter misfortune.  It can be expected that their faces alone will be enough to gain a foothold in the film and television industry in the future.  Not to mention the physical strength and kung fu shown by Marco and Mario on the set.  They are all athletes. Their father played football when he was young. Marco and Mario also tried football. Marco once wanted to be a professional player. Later, after meeting Tony Jaa, they studied seriously for a period of time.  of Muay Thai.  These skills came in handy during the filming of the movie.  Marco is wearing armor - even though it is a prop, he is walking as fast as flying.  He can also chop the sword in various graceful postures.  Shen Zhenghui used a lot of Western martial arts guidance in this drama, because the style and weapons used are very Western.  After experiencing the destruction of Mekarus Fortress by the "Doomsday Catastrophe", the Sophien delegation entered the capital of the Kingdom of Kaaoch.  This Western-style building complex is just in shape at this time, and even the shots overlooking the city will need to be modified in post-production.  However, several key shooting scenes have been built with real materials.  Almost everyone was surprised by the progress of the filming.  According to the plan, the Glory Day celebration ended. Sophien's mission completed its historical mission and formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Kaaoch and signed a non-aggression treaty. Horkels III found a way to retain some important members of the mission.  ¡ª¡ªKate, Enleko, Bertina and Princess Frannie. Of course, Her Royal Highness the Princess stayed as a hostage. At this time, King Horkels III unexpectedly announced that Enleko and his wife dressed as women.  After the news that Miss Nasia was appointed as the Imperial Envoy, the first story ended.  That¡¯s it.  All the important characters in the whole story have already appeared. Even if they don't appear, they have conveyed their reputation in other people's mouths.  The first movie seemed very restrained.  But no one expected that it only took Shen Zhenghui three months to see the hope of completing the filming.  Many people have just entered the state at this time, and even Gordon and Thomas are full of doubts about Shen Zhenghui's progress.  Gordon came to persuade Shen Zhenghui, "Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry. You need to know that our expected release date is around Christmas 2006. Even if the filming is completed, post-production is still a very time-consuming job. Since we adopt the method of filming and production at the same time,  The format is so big that it can be better. The budget is still very generous. "But the director can also be worn out," Shen Zhenghui responded to Gordon, "You think it is easier for me to give me enough time to shoot seriously."  Actually no, when I started shooting, the effect I wanted was already formed in my mind. What I am doing now is to smoothly express what I envisioned in my mind. So far, I feel that I  It¡¯s not a bad job. On the contrary, it¡¯s uncomfortable for me to have to complete this process slowly. It¡¯s like you could have done something smoothly, but you want me to do it slowly.  Action, this is a kind of torture for me." Gordon could only shrug his shoulders at Shen Zhenghui's confident statement.  "I know you always surprise us, but this is a $200 million investment," Thomas said. "If it doesn't do well, Columbia will be sold to Sony again." Okay, this is indeed a bad joke.  , given that Sony has recently acquired MGM, Thomas¡¯s self-ridicule proves that his mentality is quite relaxed.  "Do you have any filmed material that you can show me?" Gordon asked. "You know, I have been busy flying around the world during this time to help you find actors, and let Ian MacClaire come to you.  It¡¯s not easy to play a blind bishop.¡±bsp; "It's also very difficult for Robbie Colterian to play a bear-like Forbidden Mage for you." Thomas immediately said.  "Yes, but we are not competitors of "Harry Potter." "Yes, for actors, they just need to be worthy of their salary." Gordon replied, "Making movies in China seems  It¡¯s really cheap,¡± he said casually.  Shen Zhenghui paid a silent tribute. That was already a price list that had been manipulated. The investment of hundreds of millions of dollars was still a drop in the bucket, but the special effects were where the real money was burned.  "That's right," Shen Zhenghui said, "I have ten minutes of footage that I have already produced. You can take a look." He took out something like a hard drive.  "This is" "Sony's new digital camera. The material is stored in digital form. It was used by the crew of "The Matrix"." Shen Zhenghui replied.  "Ah, yes. I know." Gordon's eyes widened, "I'm just not used to it yet." "You have to get used to it early, this will be the trend in the future." "Really?" he asked,  Then he said, "I prefer film." The hard drive was connected to the device and projected on the white wall in the room. Both Gordon and Thomas stopped talking and stared at the picture on the wall seriously.  Both of them are experienced producers.  Rich experience and unique vision.  At the same time well informed.  But even so, they were still shocked by Shen Zhenghui's shots.  It doesn¡¯t matter that the static scenery is majestic. Although both of them know that the actual shooting effect is definitely not like this, the changes in light and shadow are enough to make the lens full of strange beauty.  What shocked Gordon and Thomas was this.  The whole shot is very smooth, as if it has been carefully edited. The front and back smoothness seems to be part of the movie itself, rather than ordinary material with redundant and complicated shots. This material seems to have been carefully edited, discarding the superfluous.  Parts are the same.  "Has this been edited?" Gordon asked after a moment of silence.  "It was rough editing for a while, and it will definitely need more fine editing later." Shen Zhenghui replied.  "Special effects shots are all made with money, so we must avoid waste." "Necessary spare shots are still needed." Gordon stood up, not knowing whether he should laugh or cry at Shen Zhenghui's stinginess.  We should still admire Shen Zhenghui's precise control of the camera. This clip with almost no unnecessary shots can be directly shown in the cinema. "No," he said, looking at Shen Zhenghui seriously.  "You still have to shoot more material. If the footage is not enough during the final editing, it will be a troublesome thing." "We can reshoot at any time." Shen Zhenghui replied.  Gordon was choked up, "Reshoots?" "Before the first cut of the first part is completed and post-production is fully carried out, or even during the production process, the on-site shooting will not stop." Shen Zhenghui replied, "If the lens is needed  , you can reshoot at any time." Thomas looked at Gordon and then at Shen Zhenghui, "It seems you already have a good idea of ??how to edit it?" "Of course, it's actually been edited in my head, just wait.  "How long is the first part?" Thomas asked.  "Two hours and forty minutes." Shen Zhenghui replied.  "Isn't it too long?" "The minimum is two and a half hours," Shen Zhenghui replied, "otherwise many of the foreshadowing plots behind will be incomplete." "So the second and third parts are all in your head.  "There are five parts in total. If the middle part is too long and divided into two parts, it will be six parts," Shen Zhenghui said seriously, "So I think the first part will be released.  The time should not be Christmas, but summer vacation. " "You guarantee that you can do it?" Gordon's eyes widened. Of course, summer vacation is better than Christmas.  ¡°I¡¯m working on it,¡± he responded, then stood up, walked over to the projection equipment, and tapped the hard drive, ¡°and I think if you work on it overtime, there¡¯ll be no problem at all. Of course, I¡¯m talking about special effects and post-production.  Thomas took a breath, "Is Haruhi's special effects company so powerful?" "As long as you are willing to spend money, you can always do it," Shen Zhenghui responded.  Thomas looked at Gordon, "Should we change the scheduled release plan?" Gordon shook his head, "This can only be decided after seeing the real full movie." Thomas muttered something, but neither of them listened.  clear.    "So," Gordon cleared his throat, "Can you play this material again? I want to see it again." "Of course," Shen Zhenghui played the produced material again.  After reading it again, Gordon seemed very worried. He and Shen Zhenghui chatted a few more about the progress. It seemed that he had no more energy to care about Shen Zhenghui's own thoughts, so he said a hasty hello and left with Thomas.  .  "You don't seem to be very interested. The shooting progress has greatly exceeded expectations and the cost is within the budget. As a producer, you should be happy." Thomas said.  "What's wrong?" "Thomas," Gordon said leisurely, "Don't you think Hollywood is just a bunch of idiots? Look at what Shen showed today, how many Hollywood directors can reach his level.  " "He is a talented director, there is no doubt about it. " "Of course I know that just having talent is nothing. Hollywood can accommodate geniuses, but have you noticed the films he showed us?  "Special effects production," he kicked hard, "has caught up with Hollywood." "Isn't this normal? They have spent a lot of money over the years." Gordon suddenly laughed, "Neither you nor I are a company.  "It's a major shareholder, so it has nothing to do with us." "Of course!" Thomas shrugged, "It's good to make money." (To be continued)
