Chapter 540
After the May Day, Shu Yihuan's "Wudang" crew officially started.
Different from Du Caige's habit, Shu Yihuan held a start-up ceremony with great fanfare, a combination of ancient and modern, Chinese and Western.
There is an offering table with incense candles, candles, tribute fruit, suckling pig, mutton, etc. on it.
The main creative team of the crew took turns to come forward and worship the gods they believe in. Yes, there is no uniform rule, you worship whoever you believe in!
This is a characteristic of Dahua people, pragmatic.
In addition to the Chinese-style altar table, a Jesus statue was specially made for a few people who believed in Western religions for them to worship.
Anyway, the combination of Chinese and Western has done a good job.
After the ceremony, the main creative team also showed a portrait in front of the media and was interviewed by reporters, which is a warm-up for the promotion of the movie.
After the opening ceremony, the crew went straight to the Hengdian Film and Television Base.
Get ready to finish some of the scenes here first.
Because the Wudang Palace Group has not yet been built, so the construction continues over there, and the filming starts here first, otherwise it will take too much time and the schedule of the actors will not be coordinated.
A film crew, two or three hundred staff members, and everyone eats horses, and the daily expenses are not a small amount of money.
Therefore, Shu Yihuan's decision is to save money for the company.
Du Caige, assistant director, producer, and investor, of course, raised his hand to welcome him.
At this time, neither Xu Qingya nor Jiang Youxi had joined the crew because they didn't have many roles.
And Xu Qingya is currently in the cast of "Zhu Xian", and she won't be able to come over until the end of June at least. Jiang Youxi is running a business performance, and will join Shu Yihuan's crew a few days earlier than Xu Qingya.
As a great director, Shu Yihuan must have his own team.
In the entire crew, only Liu Zifei is familiar with Du Caige.
But as an assistant director, he will have to show his life ambitions in the film circle in the future, and he must not be arrogant, and he must contact more people.
Including those few important actors, photography, martial arts instructors, props, lighting, sets, costume design and makeup, I want to discover talents.
Iron-clad soldiers with flowing water,
Some of these staff are Shu Yihuan's team, but not all of them.
Even if it is Shu Yihuan's team, who said that he can't switch to another family?
Du Caige was very jealous of Shu Yihuan's royal photographer, but this one couldn't pry the corner, and it was probably more difficult than prying Shu Yihuan's wife.
But the rest of the staff may not be able to think of something.
In the first few days, the entire crew was still in the running-in stage, and the shooting progress was not fast.
Because Du Caige is often responsible for narrating dramas to actors, he is familiar with several actors.
The male No. 2 Luo Hengzuo used to have a koan with Du Caige.
His wife, Ai Ying, is a second-tier singer. She was also one of Du Caige's messing objects, and she also left a lot of video materials. Of course, this was before he married Ai Ying.
And after he and Ai Ying established their relationship, the Lin Ke photography scandal broke out...
Du Caige didn't know how he felt.
After all, it must be uncomfortable, right?
Although he said in front of the media that he didn't care about Ai Ying's past. Later, she continued to marry Ai Ying.
But to say that he has no grudges in his heart? Du Caige didn't believe it.
After all, looking left and right, this Luo Hengzuo is an ordinary Han nationality, without Thunder Cliff blood.
Therefore, Luo Hengzuo, in front of Du Caige, although he kept his surface calm, as long as he looked closely, it was easy to catch the embarrassment in his eyes.
Du Caige also tried his best not to have private contact with Luo Hengzuo, after all, he was not a yellow hair.
Luo Hengzuo has the title of Best Actor, but after observing in the past two days, Du Caige found that his acting skills are somewhat unworthy of the title.
Du Caige has learned about Luo Hengzuo's information. This person used to be a little fresh meat and a traffic star.
Later, he was raved about by Oasis Film and Television, and he made a miracle and gave him the title of Best Actor.
And it's not a Pheasant Award. He is the best actor of the "Flying Award", one of the three major domestic film awards, which is very valuable.
Du Caige has seen Luo Hengzuo's previous movies, and his acting skills should still be online. Although it can be said that he is the weakest actor, he is still an actor-level actor.
But this time on the set, it was found that Luo Hengzuo had made a big step backward.
This gentleman has not made a movie for 3 years. He has been participating in variety shows to make money for the past three years, which seems to be abandoned.
Shu Yihuan wanted him to be the second male lead, probably because of his popularity, but he certainly didn't expect his acting skills to decline so much.
In the past few days, once Luo Hengzuo played a role, Shu Yihuan's face was not very good, and it seemed that his blood pressure rose suddenly.
Du Caige's attention quickly turned away from Luo Hengzuo.
He began to observe the male lead Qu Hong with great interest.
Qu Hong is one of the top 3 martial arts stars in China.
Of course, as for the specific ranking of these three stars, it is a matter of opinion.
Du Caige watched with a cold eye, and found that Qu Hong's acting skills are still good, worthy of his title of actor, and at the same time, he is also a little real.
Several times, Du Caige found that when Qu Hong was out of play, he would exchange views with the martial arts instructor, and jointly design cool and cool fighting moves.
The martial arts instructor is also very willing to communicate with him and respects him very much.
Du Caige wanted to contact Qu Hong.
But he didn't expect that after a few days, he found out that Qu Hong was more arrogant, and he was a little more polite to Shu Yihuan, and he was a little ignorant to several assistant directors, including Du Caige.
This is hilarious.
On Earth, unless you reach the level of "two weeks into one", would an actor show his face to a famous director? Don't you want to be in the film industry?
Well, if it's an unknown director, that's possible.
In particular, actors who bring money into the group, or who have various special ways of doing things themselves, can be arrogant in front of those little directors.
But Du Caige has already made two best-selling movies, and he has proved himself that he is a well-known director.
What's more, he himself is a representative of capital and a shareholder of Dream Dream Entertainment, which is no secret.
Just because Qu Hong ignored him, it could only mean that the actor's head was broken.
Du Caige is very sorry.
Because he has always wanted to find a good actor to establish a long-term cooperative relationship.
Now we can be sure that Qu Hong has been passed.
Such an actor with a broken brain, although he is very professional, Du Caige cannot cooperate with him.
Because when there is disagreement, who do you listen to? Qu Hong obviously won't give in to him.
And Du Caige will not change the shooting plan because of Qu Hong's insistence.
Do remember! Actors are tools for directors.
The actor and actress are excellent tool people, and the rest are ordinary tool people and defective tool people.
But without exception, they are all tools.
Tool people do not need to have their own will.
Then the first female and the second female are Xin Wan from Duan Films and Liu Chi from Zongheng Film and Television. Both of them have the title of queen.
Xin Wan is one of the top florists in China in recent years. She is really more charming than Hua, and her looks are quite good.
As a mixed-race child, she has more three-dimensional facial features and a hotter figure than ordinary actresses. Coupled with good acting skills, as a vase, she can be said to be impeccable.
It's a pity that her salary is as good as her appearance.
Xin Wan is the opposite of Qu Hong. As a woman, she is well-rounded. She greets even unknown staff with a smile and never puts on airs.
She has no experience in action movies, and has acted in many costume dramas before, but the audience's evaluation is that her acting in costume dramas is a bit of a show, because her appearance is obviously not pure-blooded Han.
In this play, Shu Yihuan specially adjusted the script for her to play the role of the daughter of a sea merchant and the descendant of foreigners.
It doesn't matter if she can't make action scenes, as long as she is responsible for her beauty.
The second female lead, Liu Chi, often starred in martial arts films. Although they were all framing and embroidering their legs, they knew how to shoot action films.
Her appearance is a bit inferior, but according to the script Du Caige learned, her weight in this movie is not low at all.
It is said that the second female lead, in fact, her role is more than that of the female lead.
Her figure is also very sexy, and Shu Yihuan let the costume design design several sets of looks for her to highlight her figure.
It's to highlight her sexiness, her natural style in fights, and to let it go a little bit.
As for the other important actors, they also have their own characteristics.
It's an interesting cast.
After a few days of getting along, Du Caige's understanding of the staff has also made some progress. The skills of these staff are very solid, Du Caige wanted to pack up the entire crew except the actors.
In particular, this martial arts instruction team, including several masters who designed movements, as well as the group members who can act as ensemble performers and stand-in actors, made Du Caige envious.
If he wants to build a martial arts universe in the future, he will definitely need a martial arts instruction team of this quality.
It is a pity that such a top team is the only one in China, and there is no semicolon. The rest of the team is said to be worse than half.
Du Caige can only find opportunities to get close to them and see if they can establish cooperation in the future.
At the same time, in the magic capital, dream-chasing and mutual entertainment, a storm is taking shape.
