Chapter 228 Actor Selection
After the male protagonist of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" selected Chen Yu, Fan Zhe also appointed some other actors.
The heroine Yan Zheke let Una get it.
In the first half, among the male supporting roles, the character "Lin Que" who is almost the most important, is handed over to Chen Weiting.
There are also several stars around the third-tier to second-tier cities who have also received invitations to roles, but their roles are generally not heavy.
For example, the best friend of the protagonist Lou Cheng and Cai Zongming, who is known as the "King of Mouths", will be Peng Yuchang;
For example, in the middle of the plot, he will be called two martial arts geniuses with the protagonist Lou Cheng, together with the world's genius, Ren Li and Peng Leyun. The former actor is one of the most famous ones at present: Nazha, a girl from the northwest, she or her team will accept a supporting role, which actually surprised Fan Zhe. The latter was won by Zhu Yilong. This actor was also an actor who became popular in a drama a while ago. He has excellent appearance and good acting skills.
So, from this perspective, the cast of the main characters is quite good.
Although there are no particularly front-line veteran movie stars, there is no shortage of popularity.
I won’t say much about the three of Weidu Entertainment’s own people; Peng Yuchang is also a bit famous, Nazha and Zhu Yilong are both pretty good.
And on the starlight, Dimension Entertainment is still making more attempts.
Not all the actors auditioned.
In addition to these main characters, there are also characters like Shi Jianguo, the "Master", as well as the so-called "Dragon King" Chen Qitao and the "Warrior Saint" Qian Donglou. Although they have limited appearances in the early stages of the story, they are very important characters.
They all invited pretty good actors.
This part of the pay is relatively better, after all, it is a similar guest appearance and has few roles.
After spending a certain price, the "Dragon King" found Liao Fan, and the actor of "Wu Sheng" was Zhu Yawen.
From this point of view, the entire lineup is quite a bit like a star-studded look.
Of course, this also comes at a cost. The pay cost of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" has increased a lot at once.
Although Chen Yu and Wu Na are their own actors, they are not newcomers who used to film "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" together. Wu Na may be better. Chen Yu is now a popular young actor. Fan Zhe will not overly squeeze others just because he is his own actor. According to the market price, the amount of pay he should pay - anyway, according to the agency contract, a part of it will be withdrawn.
Most of the other actors were satisfied with their pay.
The story of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" will be filmed all at once, but it will be released in two parts. The story of the first part will be approximately until the school where the protagonist Loucheng is located, that is, Songcheng University won the championship of the National University Martial Arts Association.
This is probably half the original work. The original novel has more than 2.5 million words. If Fan Zhe does not do a lot of content deletion, the whole drama will probably have one or two hundred episodes.
A more appropriate idea, Fan Zhe still hopes to be divided into two parts.
The entire series is arranged in about seventy episodes, which is a common length for domestic TV series production.
The filming will complete the contents of both movies at once. The two consecutive movies have great advantages. On the one hand, it saves money, and on the other hand, it can maintain the consistency of the quality and style of the entire drama.
However, in terms of post-production and publicity, we will only do the upper part for the time being, and the lower part will probably have to wait a year before doing it.
Under such circumstances, the pay cost of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" has increased to more than 120 million.
Actually, it is a very expensive expenditure.
With the entire budget of about 500 million, 300 million yuan is used for special effects production, and about 80 million yuan. A considerable part of it is spent on recruiting action teams. The remaining shooting costs are actually not as rich as imagined.
But it's not nervous.
After the actors were in place, it was soon time to have ‘action training’.
When the schedule is tight, it will be almost January after the half-month action training is completed.
According to Fan Zhe's plan, the official shooting plan will be launched at that time. The shooting will be completed before next summer and the later stage will be completed as soon as possible, so as to strive to be officially launched around the National Day next year.
Taking advantage of the fact that the actors had some time to train their actions, Fan Zhe rushed back to the company and attended a meeting on "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2".
This Target 3a masterpiece has been a year since the project started last fall.
After listening to the project team's report, Fan Zhe learned that the progress of the entire project was about 70%.
The main art resources are actually provided almost all. The remaining difficulties that need to be overcome are still technically.
"I have never urged you, and I won't. But, in this year, you must at least give me a time limit that can produce a complete work."
The master planner Eggplant and Gao Yixiang looked at each other, and Eggplant said, "Boss, we can guarantee that we will be able to produce the finished product before next summer."
"Well, that's good."
Gao Yixiang added later: "Actually, we estimate that in a week, we will be able to come up with an initial trial version. The framework of the entire game has actually been released and the art has been completed. The remaining difficulties are mainly in the dynamic world, dynamic NPC, and a lot of optimization work. In fact, it is not impossible to publish a test version now."
"Don't post the test version," Van Zhe said, "I don't want to use an unfinished beta version. But can there be a serious version in a week?"
"Yes." Eggplant took over the conversation, "In fact, we will prepare for internal testing at that time, and then we can start some publicity work and invite some players to conduct an internal testing or something."
Fan Zhe estimated his time and said, "I'll be in the company in a week, and I'll come when the time comes."
"Okay boss, don't worry."
...
This news made Fan Zhe very happy.
"Taiwu Painting Volume 2" can be regarded as the largest, longest-lasting and most investment project since its establishment.
Fan Zhe still has high hopes for this.
Games are something he loves, and he is also quite interested in the whole set of gameplay and planning he has come up with before.
Chapter completed!
