During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 52 Setting the angle and starting shooting

On May 5, through multiple communications, invitations, and interviews, the main cast of "Painted Skin" was finally confirmed.

Wang Sheng is played by Chen Kun; Xiao Wei is played by Zhou Xun; Pei Rong is played by Zeng Li; The Demon Conqueror is played by Zhen Bullet; Lizard Jing is played by Huang Bai.

In the end, Zhen Tuan was found for the role of the Demon Conqueror. China Film and Television CEO Han believed that some elements of Xiangjiang should be added. After all, if it is done well, Xiangjiang's box office limit of tens of millions is not a big or small market.

It just so happens that Zhen Zhuan has been quite popular in the past two years. In 02, she starred in Lao Mouzi's "Hero". In 04, she starred in "A Love Affair" and "A Thousand Chances II: Huadu Wars". This year, she has several movies to be released. In July "Seven Swords" by Mr. Xu, and "Sha Po Lang" in November.

Moreover, Zhen Danzhu has a foundation in kung fu, so he can do more exciting fighting scenes.

With this thought, Wei Jin readily agreed. It was rare for Mr. Han to put forward an opinion, and it must be respected, otherwise you would really be a vegetarian.

In terms of remuneration, Chen Kun received 200 million, while Zhou Xun only received 150 million for half-price, Zeng Li received 100 million, Zhen Zhuan received 300 million, and Huang Bo received 50. Although he was a supporting role, Huang Bo was the king of bitter love songs and still had a fan base. .

The leading actors received a salary of 800 million yuan, and with the supporting roles, the film's actor salary reached million yuan.

And Wei Jin even got 800 million as the screenwriter and director. However, the movie "Painted Skin" has a lot of special effects shots and requires a lot of money. If Wei Jin takes away the salary, the filming funds will be a little tight, so Converted into investment.

At present, in China, most actors and directors' salaries are not too high, and producers can generally afford them.

However, international superstars such as Big Brother Cheng and Li Lianlian are paid more than 10 million US dollars. This kind of worth is simply not something that domestic producers can afford.

Therefore, these international superstars generally reduce their remuneration when they participate in domestic films, but even so, the starting price is tens of millions of yuan. Using the remuneration to convert the investment share and obtaining the film's box office dividends has become a compromise.

The conversion here is very complicated, much more complicated than paying the film remuneration directly. Sometimes the producer will suffer a loss, and sometimes the actor will suffer a loss.

On May 5, Weijin Fengliu Film and Television Company officially announced the cast of "Painted Skin".

The speculations that lasted for a week finally came to an end, but there was even greater excitement.
  Previously, various media reported a lot on the candidates, and fans of many celebrities thought that their idols were sure to win. Now that the dust has settled, the Internet has caused a commotion.

Zhou Xun's fans were naturally elated and overjoyed, almost setting off firecrackers.

Fans of several other popular actresses were not very happy. Some thought the casting was unfair, some vocally boycotted the movie, and some attacked Zhou Xun and Zeng Li's forums.

That's right, Sister Li now also has a Tieba. The little fan I met last time posted a group photo and autograph on the Tieba after returning home, which attracted onlookers. Everyone praised Zeng Li for being beautiful even in casual clothes, so that Tieba became A gathering place for Zengli fans.

As for the male actors, it didn't cause any disturbance, but Huang Bai's participation in the role did arouse a burst of ridicule from his fans. He is another silently dedicated character with a bit of a dog-licking attribute. His path to becoming the king of bitter love singers is gone forever.

Ignoring the disturbances from the outside world, Wei Jin came to Hengdian with a group of main creators on May 5. A large number of the city scenes of this movie will be completed in Hengdian, and the exterior scenes will finally be transferred to Ningxia. This is also the West Film The radiation range of power.

The crew had arrived a week in advance to set up the scene, and when Wei Jin and the other main creators arrived, a small town had already been decorated in a decent way.

Wei Jin felt that it was necessary to read the script before shooting the movie. On the one hand, it allowed the actors to get more familiar with each other and increase their tacit understanding. On the other hand, it also allowed them to better understand the script and implement the performance method the director wanted.

After briefly explaining their script creation background and the personality characteristics of each character, the main creators all had a deeper understanding of the characters they played.

After reading the script, Wei Jin arranged for several leading actors to put on makeup and test shoot a few scenes, which could also be used as behind-the-scenes filming.

Wei Jin planned to make some non-spoiler highlights every few days from the start of filming to the completion of filming, and put them online to keep the movie hot. There was no other way. The man talked and nailed every word. If he said he wanted to break the record, then he would do it. Various means were used.

That night, everyone had a simple dinner together to keep in touch and bond with each other. After all, we had to get along day and night for two months. The next day, Wei Jin held a simple and low-key opening ceremony, and the movie "Painted Skin" was officially launched.

The Wei and Jin version of "Painted Skin" does not set a dynasty, but directly fictionalizes a small border town. Wang Sheng, played by Chen Kun, is the general who defends the city. One day, he goes out of the city to kill bandits and accidentally saves a beautiful woman. It is Zhou Xun. Xiao Wei plays the role of a vixen in human skin.

Seeing Wang Sheng's bravery, Xiao Wei became interested and claimed that his whole family was killed and robbed by bandits, leaving him homeless.

Wang Sheng took Xiao Wei home out of sympathy and some unspeakable emotions.

Wang Sheng's wife Pei Rong, after hearing about Xiao Wei's life experience, was very kind to Xiao Wei, but she was vaguely worried that her husband had other thoughts. Due to his virtuous character and the guilt of not being able to have children, it was not easy to stop her, so she could only... I was confused over and over again.

Wang Sheng is also troubled. He has some thoughts about Xiao Wei, but he loves his wife very much and can't make up his mind.

Xiao Wei is relatively simple. She fell in love with Wang Sheng and wanted to replace Pei Rong, but she didn't find a suitable opportunity and could only lurk slowly.

The three of them kept pulling and pulling. At the same time, because Xiao Wei liked to eat people's hearts, they sent his subordinate lizard spirit to dig them out, which made the whole town panic. Rumors of a demon in the city spread.

The demon-conqueror who heard that there was a demon here hurried over, and the tragedy of this human-male love triangle officially kicked off.

"Ka, Brother Kun, your eyes need to be a little more tangled, don't just rely on facial expressions, come again."

It has been a week since the official launch. During this week, Wei Jin filmed some relatively simple scenes, mostly single scenes.

After a few days of running in, everyone has a deeper and deeper understanding of the characters, and a tacit understanding among the actors has gradually formed.

Wei Jin started shooting the emotional scenes today. Fortunately, the actors are relatively professional, and most of the scenes can be completed in just a few lines.

What was being filmed at this moment was the scene where Wang Sheng faced Xiao Wei's temptation, his body was honest but his heart was entangled.

"Hey, your mood is not right. Are you too familiar with Mr. Zhou? Her temptation is ineffective?"

After a few days of getting along, Zhou Xun's carefree and straightforward personality won Wei Jin's favor, and he gave her the nickname Zhou Xun from his previous life.

Zhou Xun was very satisfied when he heard that, so everyone on the set called him that.

"Kun'er, do you really have no thoughts about me?"

Zhou Xun was also joking from the sidelines.

"Ahem, director, I'll brew it a little more, give me five minutes."

The filming days passed like this day by day. Wei Jin filmed during the day and went to Li Jie's room to ride horses at night. Although the days were boring, seeing Li Jie dressed in costumes and ancient costumes, Wei Jin felt that making movies was really fun.
