Chapter 231 Exploring "Painted Skin" (Please subscribe for the first update!)
After staying in the capital for a few days, I also got together with senior executives of several major companies.

After discussing for a few days, most of the companies felt that mainland actors could be used on a large scale, and there was no need to go to Xiangjiang actors if the cost was below the medium level.

In the past few years, the box office of the films starring those first-line stars in Xiangjiang has not been much better. Most of the box office is 2000 million, and very few reach 3000 million.

In 06, Chen Kun was the leading actor in "Yun Shui Yao", which won a box office of 3500 million.

The movie starring a group of second- and third-tier stars in "Crazy Stone" also exceeded 2000 million.

The director of "Peacock", Gu Changwei, is directing for the first time, and Zhang Jingchu is not very well-known, but still took 1000 million at the box office.

However, a large production with an investment of hundreds of millions still dare not easily use mainland actors, the risk is too great.

The basic tone is set, and the young actors in Xiangjiang should be used more cautiously. If any scandal breaks out some time before the movie is released, all the money will be in vain.

And Wang Zhongjun in "If You Are the One" also hoped that Feng Xiaogang would change actors, because Shu Qi's past history is really not very glorious.

However, Feng Xiaogang was also stubborn and insisted on using Shu Qi, saying that he could not find a more suitable candidate besides her.

To be sexy without being too beautiful, there are not many suitable actors.

There is no way, just use it, Wang Zhongjun can't persuade it.

Feng Xiaogang's movies have always had the greatest freedom, and if Wang Zhongjun insisted on forcing it, Feng Xiaogang would be very upset.

What's more, "Assembly" has just exploded and won the annual box office champion. Feng Xiaogang has the confidence to do so.

"If You Are the One" doesn't have much to do with Tang An, it doesn't matter if it explodes or strikes.

If Tang An really stayed in Huayi with all his heart, he would still hope that Feng Xiaogang would make a big fuss, and even push him behind the scenes.

"People on the Journey" and Wu Jing were contacted by Xu Manyun, and Tang An let go of the two low-cost films and handed them over to her, ready to return to Omen.

But before going to Omen, I still want to go to the crew of "Painted Skin" and get off the plane in Yiwu, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

At that time, the construction of Hengdian Airport had not yet started, and it would not be completed until 2018, so we had to transfer a bus.

Tang An didn't inform anyone, and Wu Ershan didn't know, so he came quietly.

At this time, there are still many film crews in Hengdian. Whether it is a movie or a TV series, there are popular and unpopular schedules.

Most of the popular TV series will be broadcast during the winter and summer vacations. At that time, students have vacations and just have time to watch TV.

Start shooting now, if you hurry up, you can almost catch up with the summer vacation.

In the south, the temperature is a little higher, but the wind is also strong, and it is uncomfortable to have a gust of cold wind pouring in from the neck.

Tightening his scarf, Tang An rushed towards the filming location of the crew.

The background of "Painted Skin" is placed between the Qin and Han Dynasties, but it is not specified specifically, and the costumes are borrowed from the cultural relics unearthed at Mawangdui.

In this case, we cannot shoot in Liaozhai City in Zichuan, where the buildings and gardens are more like Ming and Qing buildings.

Liaozhai City is a large-scale film and television base built by the local government in the birthplace of Pu Songlin. Many Liaozhai TV series, ghosts, foxes and demons were filmed there.

When I came to the filming location of the crew, it was a street in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and Wang Sheng's mansion was here.

There were a few crew members watching at the door. Some ordinary audiences may not know Tang An these days, but there are very few people in the industry who don't even know him.

As soon as they saw Tang An, several field workers who were squatting on the ground chatting and eating melon seeds quickly got up.

"Mr. Tang, you are here."

"Hi, Mr. Tang."

Tang An nodded, "Is the crew inside?"

"Yes, they are all here. Director Wu is filming inside." The scene manager said quickly.

"Look carefully, don't let the paparazzi get in."

Tang An walked towards the yard, meeting people from the crew along the way.

In a hall, the crew was preparing for the next scene, Tang An went in directly.

"Mr. Tang!"

"Hi, Mr. Tang!"

"Hi Mr. Tang!"

"Mr. Tang, you are here!"

Everyone, including the five leading actors, greeted Tang An no matter what they were doing.

Zhao Wei glanced at Zou Xun from the corner of his eye, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

The sister-in-law and manager Chen Rong beside her whispered something in her ear before she calmed down.

Zou Xun noticed Zhao Wei's gaze, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Boss Tang is here, I'll go say hello." Huang Feng, the agent beside her, who is also the vice president of Huayi's artist management department, got ready.

"No need to go." Zou Xun shook his head.

"It's rare for Mr. Tang to come here, maybe he'll leave tomorrow." Huang Feng said puzzled.

"What do you think Mr. Tang is here for?" Zou Xun asked back, still sitting leisurely on the chair.

"You mean I understand!"

Huang Feng suddenly realized that Tang An was still filming, and if there was nothing important, he could just send Mr. Xu from his studio to visit, why bother to go there himself.

Not far away, Yang Mi was a little agitated, if she hadn't been pulled by her assistant Zhao Luoyao, she might have joined her.

"Hi everyone!" Tang An also nodded, and gave Yang Mi a secret smile.

Wu Ershan in front of the monitor was startled when he saw Tang An, and quickly got up from his chair to meet him.

It came suddenly, isn't this a private interview on Weibo!
The ancient emperors and imperial envoys who went on tour in micro-clothes would not turn on the beheading mode every time they went, and with a single knife, dozens of hundreds of heads fell to the ground, bleeding all over the place.

There's nothing wrong with the crew, Wu Ershan was also puzzled.

"I'll drop by to see if Director Wu's crew is okay." Tang An looked around and said with a smile.

"Mr. Tang, don't worry, the crew is fine, and the filming progress is within schedule."

Then Wu Ershan gave up the monitor, and called out some films shot today for Tang An to watch.

Wu Ershan thought for a while, and then said, "Mr. Tang, why don't I arrange for someone to show you all the other films?"

As a genuine director, no one wants others to point fingers at the things they shoot.

But Wu Ershan is self-aware. Tang An gave him the position of director, and he can take it back at any time, even halfway through the filming.

Even the president of the Xiangjiang Directors Association and a big director like Cheng Jiashang were dismissed with just one word.

But Tang An's words reassured him.

"You don't have to read it, I believe in Director Wu's ability."

Tang An took a look in front of the monitor and returned the chair to him.

There is no problem with the shooting, but some shots, photography and lighting are a bit biased towards Zhao Wei.

One or two shots doesn't matter, if the two of them share the same frame throughout the film, it will be easier to highlight Zhao Wei's role.

But Tang An didn't say anything, and it didn't really have a big impact on the whole movie.

The roles of Zhao Wei and Zou Xun are a bit like Zhang Manyu and Wang Zuxian in "The Green Snake", but Wang Zuxian's white snake is more brilliant.

The filming continued, and Tang An was watching from behind the monitor.

In the next scene, Pang Yong is drunk at Wang Sheng's house, calling Pei Rong's name vaguely in his sleep, which is heard by Wang Sheng who just came back.

Then Pei Rong brought Pang Yong a glass of water, and when Pang Yong turned around, he unconsciously grabbed Pei Rong's hand.

"All departments prepare!"

"The actors are in place!"

"No. 15 games, one shot, one shot!"

"start!"

Standing behind was Tang An. Wu Ershan's shout was a little unnatural at first, but he immediately stared at the monitor intently.

It was a very ordinary scene, and the actors did it very well, except that Zhao Wenzhuo accidentally knocked over the water twice.

However, just as he was about to take another shot, Tang An stopped.
