Chapter 377 Zhang Chen posted a blog again
Yuan Baye was very efficient. He found Zhang Chen the next afternoon to check and accept the newly designed martial arts style.
It was actually a fight, performed by two of his assistants.
One person plays the role of a little bird spirit, and the other person plays the role of a monster hunter.
Because Xiao Wei's fighting style is more focused on spells, and there are not many pure action scenes. On the contrary, in the setting, the spells of the little bird spirit are weak, and most of the time they are physical attacks.
In Zhang Chen's version of "Painted Skin", there is no such setting that ordinary ice blades are harmless to monsters.
Monsters are also made of flesh and blood, but they are more powerful than humans. They bleed just like being stabbed.
The fight begins...
Yuan Baye's two assistants began to attack each other, both offensively and defensively.
The speed of the two of them is not too fast, mainly so that people can see their movements clearly.
Action scenes in movies are all played very quickly, so it certainly couldn't have been that fast when filming.
Mr. Yuan Baye explained from the side: "The monster-catching movements are very broad, and the weapons are mainly giant swords, combined with some magic weapons on the body..."
Zhang Chen nodded.
Master Ba turned to explain the little bird spirit.
"Little bird spirits are spirits. They don't like to use weapons. Their main attack method is their claws. If they are anxious, they can launch their own feathers. The feathers are more powerful and can be made into special effects, similar to the rainstorm pear blossom needle..."< br>
“This design is good~”
Zhang Chen suddenly thought of a funny point. The little bird spirit is a monster who loves beauty. Every time he shoots feathers, he feels regretful when he sees his bald feathers in the mirror.
The more Zhang Chen thought about it, the more funny he felt, so he told others about it.
The others laughed as they thought about it, and couldn't help but praise Yuan Baye's design.
Among the people, only Yang Xiaomi was a little worried.
Then if the fight is too intense, will I become bald? Is it necessary to give myself a close-up of my bald head?
The more I think about it, the more I shudder.
"Not bad, not bad, very good. This is the style I want. The eighth master is indeed the eighth master..."
Yuan Heping immediately identified Zhang Chen's point. As expected, he has a reputation for being a talented person. He can be called the number one martial artist in Xiangjiang because he has two brushes.
"There's nothing wrong with the martial arts style. Master Ba will design it according to this style."
After deciding on the martial arts style, I followed Zhang Shuping to look at the styling, which was actually setting the makeup.
This process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days.
Makeup artists and stylists will constantly adjust the actors' makeup according to the director's requirements until it is optimal.
The first person to come out was Pang Yong, who had the best makeup as a monster hunter.
He has a ball-shaped head, is dressed in cloth, and has leather armor at some key locations. He has a big sword on his shoulder. His body is full of vicissitudes of life, and he looks like a man from the world at first glance.
In fact, the shape of the monster hunter is that of a knight-errant, and the action design is similar, but with many more magical props.
In this regard, Hong Kong has many successful cases to learn from.
"Okay~"
What Zhang Chen fears most is that Jianghu people are clean, without the look of vicissitudes of life, but Yuan Baye has obviously noticed it.
Next is Pei Rong.
There's nothing wrong with Pei Rong's makeup, it just needs to be dignified and elegant, and her clothes don't need to be particularly gorgeous.
Mr. Zhou is now at the peak of his appearance. He has a face that is so tender that you can squeeze water out of it. He looks good-looking from the front or from the side. But he cannot speak, and it is easy for people to get into trouble when he speaks.
This girl is born with a girlish face. She is obviously born in the 70s, but she doesn't feel out of place when she plays a girl. She is much better than the green-painted Grandma Liu from Old Cucumber.
Speaking of Grandma Liu, the entertainment industry of that era was really tolerant.
What she did will be banned after 2020.
Then there is Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng has two sets of makeup, one for ordinary clothes, that is, a gown, and one for armor.
The regular clothes mainly focus on one person who is suave and the other person who is handsome.
Speaking of this, it's easy. Huang Xiaoming is a true performance.
He was able to get into Nortel because of his face, a sunny boy.
Even Huang Xiaoming himself is very satisfied with this look, grinning almost to the base of his ears.
Everyone says that Zhang Chen is good at photographing women, but he never thought that he is also good at photographing men.
Leader Huang was delighted. As soon as he put his hand back, he was immediately different from Zhang Jin's demon hunter.
The latter one is the aura of the worldly world, and the other is the official aura of someone in a high position.
Everyone applauded, who said he didn't have acting skills.
"Okay, okay, let me change the armor and see~"
Huang Xiaoming didn't need to move, he just stood there and stretched out his hands. Several people were busy beside him, just like Tony Stark changing his mecha.
Change the robe, install shoulder pads, chest pads, arm pads, leg pads, knee pads, and tighten the leather buckles~
After a busy day, when everyone dispersed again, Leader Huang had changed his appearance.
Just as Xiao Jin left, he remembered something again. He took two steps back, took out a few strands of the leader's hair and scattered them around his forehead, then sprayed water on his head and smeared ashes on his face.
Suddenly, a chilling aura that had just come off the battlefield hit his face.
Leader Huang was so satisfied that he spun around twice and received admiration from the people around him.
He himself is also very satisfied with his makeup.
I feel that the level of makeup artists and stylists at Star Entertainment is really high. This look is even more handsome than Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
"Don't laugh~"
While he was enjoying himself, the director's words almost broke his guard and also caused others to chuckle.
Then the little bird spirit appeared.
Yang Xiaomi's little bird spirit borrows the shape from "Painted Skin 2".
Yang Xiaomi dressed up in new makeup and spun around in front of everyone, then hooked her index fingers, showing a playful and cute look.
The youthful vitality of the little bird spirit came out immediately.
"Okay, remember, the performance of the little bird spirit is actually a bit similar to Guo Xiang. As long as you can show that kind of playfulness and agility, you will pass."
Zhang Chen's summary immediately made Yang Xiaomi's eyes light up, and she stuck out her tongue playfully.
What she did immediately aroused admiration from the people around her. Young girls are always popular.
"There is another set of makeup, when she is half-transformed..."
Seeing that Zhang Chen was satisfied, Zhang Shuping explained beside him, and then motioned to Yang Xiaomi to change clothes.
After all, she is a woman and cannot come on the spot like Huang Xiaoming.
After a while, Yang Xiaomi appeared again, this time with a pair of wings on the back of his clothes, similar to a bat shirt, and the wings would move when he waved his hands.
There are feather shapes on the wings and feather shapes on the headdress.
This immediately made everyone laugh, and everyone remembered the scene where they talked about spraying feathers.
Thinking that the gorgeous feathers now will become bare by the time, I can't help but smile.
Yang Xiaomi was still confused at first. She didn't expect her makeup in this movie to be so beautiful.
But soon I found that everyone was suppressing laughter, and I couldn't help but look at my left and right wings in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"
This confused expression immediately caused a chain reaction. The person who could barely hold it in just now could no longer hold it in and started laughing.
Immediately, the laughter infected the people nearby, and the people nearby also laughed. More and more people laughed, and finally it turned into laughter in the whole audience.
Yang Xiaomi's face was red, and she still didn't understand why everyone was laughing. Chen Xi couldn't see it, so he came up to her and told her secretly. She looked at the wings on her hands and started laughing too.
"What are you laughing at?"
While they were laughing and making noise, Fan Binbin walked out wearing makeup.
The laughter stopped immediately and turned into screams of surprise.
“So beautiful~”
“So beautiful~”
"If all fox monsters look like this, then I am willing to have my heart ripped out~"
Fan Binbin's fox demon look is really beautiful.
Her facial features are very suitable for heavy makeup, and when paired with a white dress, people say she is a fox demon, and people are more willing to believe that she is a fairy.
A living banished immortal~
The scene was a little quiet for a while~
The look of Mr. Zhou in the original version of "Painted Skin" is somewhat based on that of the geishas from Benzi, with black hair, white face, and small lips...
Because I am considering exporting to Japan~
Zhang Chen’s version definitely won’t.
But the setting of cold white skin is still needed.
In fact, speaking of Leng Baipi, there happens to be one in his crew.
Li Xiaoran is famous for his cold fair skin. His good skin is even envied by his colleagues in the industry.
However, Zhang Chen had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to be hacked.
"Binbin, take two steps and let Director Zhang have a look~"
The fox demon Xiao Wei is the eye of the entire drama and can directly affect the success or failure of the entire film, so there is no room for error.
After hearing Zhang Shuping's words, Fan Binbin walked around for a few steps, showing all aspects to everyone.
Zhang Chen touched his chin and his eyes wandered over her body: "When the official performance begins, your walking speed will be a little slower than this..."
Fan Binbin nodded, Zhang Chen's eyes were still looking at him: "It feels too upright, a little less charming. Remember, you are a fox demon, and charm is an innate skill. You can radiate it all the time when you walk, sit or lie down~"
Hearing this, Sister Jiuyi gave a wink, and Zhang Chen's face turned dark: "What I want is charm, not coquettishness..."
Fan Xiaopang's defense was broken by one sentence, and his face turned red.
Zhang Chen was so disrespectful, in front of so many people.
Zhang Chen wasn't done yet, he frowned and continued to scold: "If Xiao Wei fails in her performance, our film will be ruined. Please think about it carefully in the past two days, what is Mei? Watch more "Green Snake" , find the feeling..."
Everyone was silent. They were fine just now, but they turned against each other as soon as they could.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you, no one dares to speak.
"Okay, okay, let's go take off your makeup. Shuping and Lao Xiao will try their best to see if they can optimize it further. The launch conference will be the day after tomorrow, and we will meet again tomorrow."
Chen Xi quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
In fact, the makeup is not a big problem, Zhang Chen angrily pointed at Fan Xiaopang.
I'm a little angry. I decided you would play Xiao Wei so early, and I specifically asked you to practice more in private, and you got such a result from practice?
If he had known this, he would have replaced him.
In the dressing room, Fan Binbin was a little embarrassed.
The assistant next to her knew her so well that she could tell from her expression that she was sulking. She helped remove her makeup and comforted her: "Sister Binbin, don't be angry with Director Zhang. Director Zhang is also under too much pressure."
Fan Xiaopang pouted and said nothing, and the assistant continued: "Actually, you have to think about it the other way around, why Director Zhang has no requirements for anyone else but only has such high requirements for you, because he values you~"
"Counting the female stars that Star Entertainment has worked with, which one has Director Zhang been so attracted to by you?
Director Zhang has said that "Painted Skin" is a series, and "A Quiet Place" that was completed not long ago is also a series. Who in the entire Star Entertainment is treated like you? ”
The little assistant is a good talker, and once he talks, Fan Xiaopang's mood really improves a lot.
"Then he can't humiliate me in front of so many people..."
The assistant immediately followed: "Yes, Director Zhang did something wrong in this regard. He should apologize to you."
Fan Xiaopang laughed: "How is it possible? How can any director apologize to an actor?"
"Hehe, that's why our sister Binbin is so tolerant~"
Fan Xiaopang was also amused by his assistant: "You little girl, you are the only one who can speak~"
"Aren't I afraid that there will be a rift between Sister Binbin and Director Zhang? Director Zhang values you so much~"
"No, I'm not stupid. Don't I know who is good to me?"
"That's good. Director Zhang said we need to study more, so I'll go find the disc of "Green Snake" soon. Let's study according to Director Zhang's requirements and see if we can trigger any inspiration~"
"Hmm~"
In another room, Zhang Chen and Chen Xi chatted about the launch conference. "You don't have to worry about the launch conference the day after tomorrow. I have already arranged it. You just need to cooperate with me then."
Seeing Zhang Chen's confusion, the latter explained: "Manager Dong said that the promotion of "Painted Skin" must be done well from the beginning. The trap created by "The Promise" is too big. The outside world is now not interested in works of the same type. We have to retreat, we can no longer focus on filming as before, we must build up the momentum and keep "Painted Skin" popular, so that we can ensure the maximum film schedule when it is released..."
Movie promotion has its own way. Many blockbusters start to hype up from the moment of casting. All kinds of exposure and popularity are just to make the movie arouse the curiosity of the audience.
Curiosity can attract audiences to the cinema, but the establishment of this curiosity does not start before the movie is released.
"Painted Skin" is set for the Lunar New Year slot, which is the most competitive Lunar New Year slot.
When the blockbusters gather, people's attention will be distracted by all kinds of things, and the publicity at that time will be the most efficient publicity.
It is better to increase the exposure on weekdays. Casting today, finalizing the role tomorrow, starting the day after tomorrow, and exposing the stills the day after tomorrow...
Anyway, there is news and information bombardment every day.
The audience has been watching for a long time, and they will naturally remember that there is a movie called "Painted Skin". When it is released, it will light up the fire, and the probability of the audience choosing "Painted Skin" will greatly increase.
"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements~" Zhang Chen shrugged.
"But before that, you need to post a blog first. Tomorrow, "Kowloon Walled City" will be released~"
……
"Kowloon Walled City" will be released on Friday, March 3, the same day as Sun Entertainment's "The Wolf".
Star Entertainment, Lu Yang and Guo Fan tiredly collapsed on the sofa.
In these two days, I did everything I could.
Contact various newspapers and magazines, receive exclusive interviews, and brag about movies.
They have not been spared on the Internet, and their footprints have been left in various Tieba and forums.
For the sake of word-of-mouth, a test screening was even conducted inside Nortel in advance.
Don't think that all those in art schools like that kind of art film. It's impossible. A niche is a niche. Many people in Nortel also like fast food movies without any nutrition.
"Kowloon Walled City" is a fast food movie.
The character conflicts serve entirely for the fighting scenes. This is a movie made for fun.
After the movie was played, the teachers were a little disdainful of this kind of movie, but it did not affect their judgment of the movie.
The rhythm is tight, the plot is complete, and the action design is outstanding~
Lu Yang's debut film is OK in terms of completion, and it shouldn't be too bad at the box office.
They are very cautious when commenting on movies now because they suffered a loss from Zhang Chen.
When "Dark Invasion" was released, many people gave it low scores, but it turned out that it was successful.
However, "Dark Invasion" is better than "Kowloon Walled City". At least it also explores the friendship between girls.
What is there in "Kowloon Walled City" is to fight and fight and fight~
There is violence and adrenaline everywhere, and even some female teachers are excited after watching it, feeling that their own small universe is burning...
Yimu Lhasa...
Students were generous in their praise and wrote about their movie-watching experiences in various forums, including a second trailer.
The second trailer is the part about the toilet fight.
Semyon 1VS50, the famous scene of a battle to become a god.
Lu Yang is very sure that once the movie is released, the title of God of War in the Toilet will belong to Semyon. As long as the audience has watched the movie, they will be implanted with a subconscious idea - no one can beat Semyon in the toilet.
In addition, Lu Yang also edited the behind-the-scenes footage, showing various scenes of difficulties and injuries during the filming.
But this will have to be released after the movie is released. Manager Dong taught him these.
Arouse the audience's emotions bit by bit.
……
On March 3rd, Friday, the movie was officially released.
There were long queues in front of many cinemas, and it seemed that almost all of them were students.
A "Fearless" and a "King Kong" emptied the money out of young people's pockets.
But it happened to be the Chinese New Year, and after shouting a few words of "Happy New Year", the young people had money in their pockets again.
So, it’s great to be a young person.
It's daytime now, most young men are still at work, and most of the people who can come and queue are students.
Disagreements broke out among many teams.
"What should we watch, "Slaying the Wolf"?"
"I want to watch "Kowloon Walled City"~"
""Kowloon Walled City" is full of newcomers, what if it doesn't look good?"
"Brother, are you caught in the mountains and don't go online? The fight in the trailer is so fierce, you tell me it doesn't look good?"
"But I think the scene between Wu Jing and Donnie Yen in "Slaying the Wolf" is also very interesting~"
“Then I might as well watch both shows, it’s not like I have no money~”
"Yes, we have enough money now to watch both shows~"
A similar scene was played in many movie theaters. If students have money and leisure, they can watch both movies.
In many popular cinemas, both movies are showing strong sales.
The distributor of "Slaying the Wolf" is Hong Kong's Oriental Film Distribution Company, founded by Huang Baiming. It has produced the "Ip Man" series in later generations, and it still has some strength.
This time, the producers of "The Wolf" and "Kowloon Walled City" have tacitly chosen not to hold premieres.
Premieres are generally reserved for large productions and are part of the publicity.
When a small- to medium-budget movie holds a premiere, the cost of the premiere may be higher than the movie itself, which invisibly increases the difficulty of repaying the cost, and the gain outweighs the loss.
"Two pieces of "Sha Po Lang"~"
"I want two copies of "Kowloon Walled City"~"
"A piece of "Kowloon Walled City"~"
……
This weekend in March, "Sha Po Lang" and "Kowloon Walled City" are inseparable.
"How are sales going?"
The supervisor asked at the Beijing branch of Oriental Film Company.
"I visited a few sample movie theaters, and the data collected is basically a 50-50 split between "Slaying the Wolf" and "Kowloon Walled City" ~" the subordinate replied.
50/50 is not good news.
The cost of "Sha Po Lang" is probably several times that of "Kowloon Walled City". Donnie Yen's salary alone is almost worth the cost of "Kowloon Walled City".
This means that the box office of "Sha Po Lang" must be at least several times that of "Kowloon Walled City" to be considered a tie.
Hong Jinbao and Simon Yam on the side looked unhappy, "We have tried our best to promote it, why are we still like this?"
After hearing this, the head of the branch replied: "This is the capital, the headquarters of Star Entertainment. The New Film Alliance has always arranged a high number of Star Entertainment's films. Here, our publicity resources are completely incomparable with others..."< br>
The person in charge couldn't help but murmur: Don't you understand the principle that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake?
Oriental Film is a Hong Kong company and Star Entertainment is a Beijing company. Who is the landlord?
“It’s no use finding so many friends to help with the platform?”
Hong Jinbao went all out for this movie, put on his old face, and found many friends to help him. Many entertainment news can see that Hong Kong movie stars will casually mention "Slaying the Wolf" during interviews, urging everyone to go Watching the movie is all about Hong Jinbao's face.
Even Cheng Long is no exception.
The person in charge shook his head when he heard this: "If you know how to find people, others will too. Zhang Chen is the kind of person who responds to everything in mainland China. Even without saying hello, many artists who want to cooperate with him will help carry the sedan chair.
< br>
The ones under Wang Jinghua are even more exaggerated. When people are interviewed, they always hold their ticket stubs to show that they have actually seen the movie. Many people are even interviewed after the show. ”
Shijiu Culture’s move is really weird.
There is nothing more convincing than having big stars actually show up at the cinema to watch the movie.
Didn’t all the big stars go to see it in person? How precious their time is. If you go to see it in person, it means it will definitely look good.
The audience is so simple.
Only Shijiu Culture can do this because it is the only one with so many big names under its umbrella.
Although Wang Jinghua couldn't ask them to do anything, many big names were still willing to help.
What's more, he can also express his goodwill to Zhang Chen. No one can guarantee when there will be an opportunity to cooperate. This little bit of goodwill may be the decisive weight.
……
At the same time, Zhang Chen’s blog was released.
【
Before "Crazy Stone" was released, I said that Ning Hao was an extraordinary genius, but no one believed it.
After the movie was released, it was proved that Ning Hao was really a genius.
Regarding "Kowloon Walled City", I would also like to say that Lu Yang is not a genius, but he will indeed become a very good director, especially in the field of action films.
I know there will still be people who don’t believe it. This is normal. You have the right to question it, so we’ll see.
"Kowloon Walled City" is Lu Yang's debut film. I have seen the finished film and it was very well shot.
Coupled with Semyon's performance and Ruian's action design, the three of them are seriously underestimated. If they work together, I am looking forward to the movie's box office miracles.
In addition, I promised Lu Yang that if the box office exceeds 40 million, I will let him direct the companion part of "The Rescue". Whether he can get this opportunity depends on everyone~
Wish you a great box office success~
】
The length of the blog is not long, it just brags about Lu Yang's awesomeness and talks about the bet by the way.
However, the impact is huge.
The Internet exploded.
"Taken", an action movie, has generated a box office of 260 million, which shows its great influence.
At present, all the main creators in "Tailor" have their own personal forums, and they are quite active.
Even Ruian has one, and he has become famous in the country without even knowing Chinese.
"Zhang Chen Bar" has become one of Baidu's top 20 post bars, with countless members.
In the bar, several old people who often fill water are chatting:
Zhang Chen, this slut, when will he film "Hurricane Rescue 2"?
Yes, I'm waiting for him to make a sequel. He went abroad to film "A Quiet Place". After filming, he thought it was time for "Hurricane 2", and he made another crappy "Painted Skin". Brothers, how about Let's go report it so that he can't film "Painted Skin" and come back to film "Hurricane 2" honestly...
A weird netizen put forward a weird idea, and someone immediately responded:
Brother is a great talent, I think it is ok.
I think +1
I think +2
I think +3
……
Soon the building reached dozens of floors, but someone immediately replied:
Brother, it's useless. "Painted Skin" has already been reviewed. It's useless to report it at this time. Believe me, I'm in the industry. If we want to watch "Hurricane 2", it will be after "Painted Skin" at the soonest...< br>
There was a sigh below.
This garbage will kill the whole family if you don’t add more to the hole...
Who knows where his home is? I want to send him a blade~
Send blade +1
Send Blade+2
Send Blade +3
……
Seeing that the building was about to be built in such a boring way, at this moment, someone replied:
Brothers, big news, have you read Zhang Chen’s blog? The sister chapter of "Hurricane" is finally revealed~
The companion piece to "Hurricane", what is it, "Hurricane 2"?
Someone responded subconsciously.
I don’t know either. You’ll know if you go and take a look. The management has just moved it back and it has been pinned to the top.
Then a bunch of people ran to read the pinned news, and not long after, the post bar became active again.
Holy crap, can anyone tell me what the companion piece to "Taken" is? Is it a sequel?
It should be, it must be related to "Hurricane", otherwise how can it be called a companion piece.
This guy finally realized his conscience and saw our message.
Then I support a movie ticket, not for anything else, just for my "Hurricane" sequel.
I also support one, even if it doesn’t look good, I will accept it~
Brother, it shouldn't be bad. I just checked and the action director of "Kowloon Walled City" is the action director of "Hurricane", and the director is the assistant director of "Hurricane".
So why are you hesitating? Support~
Management, management, you come out and organize everyone to increase the box office. You don't want to watch "Hurricane 2" anymore.
The management immediately appeared and replied in bold font:
Brothers, rise up. Didn’t he say that as long as he exceeds 40 million, he can start filming the companion chapter of "Hurricane"? Let's help him pass 40 million...
(End of chapter)
