Chapter 178: Those actors

The male and female protagonists and the villain of "Myth", Professor Gu, have been determined. Another more important character is naturally William, who was disguised by Liang Jiahui in the original version, the scientist who studies the mysterious power of floating.

Perhaps due to the influence of the original version, Zhang Yi still invited Liang Jiahui to star. Liang Jiahui had just finished filming "Face Changing" and got rid of the ban by the Taiwan authorities. Naturally, he would not refuse Zhang Yi, and even turned down the job for this reason.

Many starring roles.

Others, such as Meng Yi's deputy general Nangong Yan, and the generals of the Qin Dynasty, did not have many roles, so Zhang Yi did not go out of his way to find actors. In mainland China, it is not difficult to find suitable actors.

Preparing for a movie is obviously not just as simple as deciding on the actors.

Jiying Special Effects Company, Zhang Yi has now invested a lot of money, has developed rapidly. Although it is still a loss-making company and the only loss-making company in Zhang Yi's industry, it is the company that Zhang Yi values ​​​​the most.

The development of Jiying's special effects still satisfies Zhang Yi, at least it is worthy of the money Zhang Yi invested.

The special effects involved in this movie are undoubtedly the heavenly palace in the underground palace and the floating power. Obviously, these things cannot be shot directly and need to be produced with post-production special effects.

Zhang Yi was not very satisfied with the design of the original underground palace, and he was also not satisfied with the terracotta warriors and horses surrounding the palace, so he put a lot of effort into this.

"This is the Tiangong! It's very good." Zhang Yi looked at the designed model of the Tiangong and was very satisfied. The model was not a single one, but a group. Moreover, Zhang Yi also designed the Nantian Gate and planned to build it outside the Nantian Gate.

Act out a martial arts fight.

"Boss, take a look at these crossbow models. How about the chariot model?" Lan Naicai said to Zhang Yi.

When Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately became interested. The crossbows of the previous dynasty were absolutely powerful at that time, and the Qin State was able to dominate the world. It definitely played a role that cannot be ignored with its powerful crossbows and chariots. Moreover, these two things were definitely used in wars.

Sharp weapons, if Zhang Yi wants to restore ancient war scenes, he will naturally not miss these two. Today, he still can't forget the shock of Qin's arrows and crossbows when he first watched "Heroes".

"Yes, yes! I must have looked up a lot of relevant information compared to the people who designed these crossbows and battlefields." Zhang Yi looked at it and nodded, saying. Zhang Yi hired someone to design the crossbows and chariots, so he spent a lot of time designing them.

It cost a lot of money, but it was still worth it.

This is an ancient scene in the film. Zhang Yi did not change much. He just explained the killing of Meng Yi by Zhao Gao and Qin II. Of course, Fusu and Meng Tian were mentioned. Meng Yi’s robbery and murder are also part of the entire war scene.

The most serious thing is more serious than the foreign army robbing the princess.

In the original version, it seems a bit unreasonable to snatch the princess and then shoot at the carriage indiscriminately without fear of hurting the princess. The war scenes of robbing people and the war scenes of killing people cannot be the same. Different wars naturally require different methods.

The same ordnance.

The ancient scenes of this film involve Eastern military, history, art, etc., as well as costumes, weapons and other props. Zhang Yi did not want to deviate from history, so Zhang Yi spent a lot of energy and invited many people and even many experts.

Of course, in addition to the action design of this film, a lot of thought was put into it.

After returning from Jiying Special Effects, Yuan Kui came to the door and showed some of the film's designs to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi looked at the movements planned by Yuan Kui. His brows furrowed more and more, while Yuan Kui, who was watching from the side, was heartbroken and looked at Zhang Yi nervously.

"The action of this film involves fighting and fighting on ancient battlefields, as well as modern fighting. There must be a difference between the two aspects. In ancient times, fighting was mostly about weapons, while in modern times, it is naturally about fists and kicks. This is well designed.

However, it is not enough. Especially the design of battlefield fighting is not enough. Two-person fighting, multi-person fighting, battle of a hundred people, battle of a thousand people. Battle on horseback, battle on chariots. We can discuss these again. The horse you designed

The battle between swords and spears is very entertaining, but it is somewhat distorted. In the Qin Dynasty, there were no stirrups. The cavalry at that time mostly cooperated with chariots, or fought with bows and arrows, bronze swords and halberds." Zhang Yi.

He looked at Yuan Kui and then asked, "You designed this all by yourself?"

Yuan Kui nodded.

Zhang Yi thought for a while and then said: "One person has limited skills and limited imagination. Even if you and I discuss it, we probably won't be able to do it perfectly. Among your brothers and sisters, call for more. Before going to the mainland for filming, I finally

So that the fight on the battlefield can be planned out."

"Well, okay." Yuan Kui nodded, thought for a while, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, see if you can find time to go to the mainland for inspection first. After all, some actions need to be coordinated with the shooting location."

"Well, you are right. I will arrange it as soon as possible. Before starting the shooting, I need to conduct an on-site inspection. As for this film, the action must be realistic. It cannot exceed the scope of human power. Of course, there is the power of levitation in the underground palace.

Come on, you can still fly around." Zhang Yi continued.

"Myth" is being prepared in a low-key manner, but there is no airtight wall in the world. As Zhang Yi's new film, it still attracted a lot of attention in Hong Kong.

What Zhang Yi didn't expect was that this movie actually attracted great attention from the mainland. Of course, Zhang Yi had to suspect that this attention came from his hundreds of millions of investment intentions.

"Mr. Zhang, our film has received great attention from the Cultural Affairs Bureau. You asked about the need for the army to co-star, and you got a reply. Up to 10,000 people can star for free, and 500 good horses can be provided. Moreover, if necessary

, the Cultural Affairs Bureau can send history professors from major schools and experts on terracotta warriors and horses as guidance." Liao Yiyuan said to Zhang Yi with a smile.

When Zhang Yi heard this, he was a little stunned. As for the number of people participating in the army, he always thought that two or three thousand people would be enough to support the sky, but he did not expect that the number could reach ten thousand. What kind of scene would ten thousand people look like? But it is necessary

Are there so many people? After all, the costumes and props are not ready-made.

The most important thing is the five hundred good horses, that is what really shocked Zhang Yi. As for the experts and professors, Zhang Yi naturally refused to accept them. Why not make this film more rigorous?

Why.

"Myth" is not a movie with a main theme. It is an incredible thing to be able to do this. This has to surprise Zhang Yi. After all, the investment of hundreds of millions is just an intention.

However, apart from Zhang Yi's hundreds of millions of investment intentions, another important reason for mainland China to pay attention to this movie is Zhang Yi himself.

Zhang Yi is now more and more influential in Hong Kong and even in Southeast Asia. This influence is no longer just incidental to fame in the past. After all, Zhang Yi's net worth has skyrocketed, and his status has also increased with it.

Rising. And this incident also demonstrated Zhang Yi’s talent in finance.

In addition, Zhang Yi has become the vice president of Ming Pao. It may not be long before Zhang Yi has Ming Pao, a very influential newspaper, under his control, and he can control public opinion.

In other words, what the mainland values ​​​​is not the movie, but Zhang Yi as a person.

"Mr. Liao, can you make arrangements? I would like to take some people to the mainland for an on-the-spot investigation?" Zhang Yi came to his senses and said immediately.

Going to the mainland not only requires on-the-spot inspections, but also establishes connections with the mainland.

"Of course this is no problem, I will arrange it as soon as possible." Liao Yiyuan immediately smiled and said.

"Xiao Min, do you want to go to the mainland with me this time?" Zhang Yi asked Zhou Huimin.

"I won't go this time. "My Sassy Girl" is about to be released, and I have to be busy promoting it, and I have to slowly figure out the role of Yu Shu." Zhou Huimin smiled and said, "Ayi,

When will you go? Will you attend the movie premiere? This is my first starring movie."

"Don't worry. I'm going to the mainland probably next month. I will naturally attend the premiere of "My Sassy Girl."" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "However, I'm afraid it will take a month to go back and forth this time.

I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back for your birthday."

"Haha. It's okay, birthdays happen every year." Zhou Huimin smiled, and then said to Zhang Yi, "With you, every day is as happy as a birthday."

"Just be happy." Zhang Yi looked at Zhou Huimin and said, "Me too."

On October 24, "My Sassy Girl" premiered, the first romance film written by Zhang Yi, which attracted a lot of media and audiences.
