Chapter 245

On the 15th day of the first month, Leng Qingqiu came to the Jin residence and asked Zhou Zhen to bring Ouyang a letter.

That night, Zhou Zhen carefully opened the letter and found a fact.

That is, without the intervention of Jin Yanxi, Leng Qingqiu doesn't like Ouyang. At most, she just likes him.

In a fashionable word, Ouyang takes her as a goddess and she takes Ouyang as a spare tire.

Ouyang licked the dog in front of her. She enjoyed the feeling and hung Ouyang.

After sealing the letter again, Zhou zhense thought carefully: if Leng Qingqiu falls into the trap, please "avoid its difficulty" and accept her.

All the people in the capital who should visit visited him. He spent 100000 silver yuan to maintain the relationship above.

He is now worth a lot. Jin Quan is worried about his safety. He specially transferred a whole team of ten people to go to magic capital with him to protect his safety.

On the day of leaving, none of the former friends came, but several upper class CHILDES came to see them off.

Sun Lutang also sent Li Yulin and his son to see them off, but they were blocked out by the guards.

Zhou Zhen said something before he let them go and introduced them to these people. If there is fate, maybe you can find a free job in front of these childe brothers.

It was another four-day journey from the capital to the magic capital.

By this time, the film "Romance of the West Chamber" had been completed.

Zhou Zhen went to the company to see the film without rest. At first glance, he was very disappointed.

Without his supervision, the director received little influence from him. Although there are some improvements, it is still not different from the films of this era. It can be called rough and random.

However, the cost of the film is not high. If you want to break even and earn a little, there is no problem.

Zhou Zhen summoned all the people at home from the film company to come to the company and spent a day analyzing the gap between the two films.

From the viewfinder, lighting, clothing, props, lens language gap, and even make-up all commented once.

With each shot, Zhou Zhen paused and began to talk.

He himself is not a professional and has little knowledge of acting and directing.

However, he has film shooting experience of later generations, which is beyond the imagination of people in this era.

Although they didn't boast, they could see from their eyes that they regarded themselves as a master.

One day, after analyzing the two films, Zhou Zhen asked everyone to write a job change report according to their position.

Before coming here this time, he also consulted sun Lutang and prepared to make a film based on him.

Moreover, his second son Sun Cun Zhou played him.

The film starts with sun Lutang's father's death, his mother's serious illness, his suicide and being saved.

It mainly tells about his experience of learning martial arts with different people. In 1888, he returned to Baoding to open a martial arts school, then clashed with the local martial arts school, and the fight against nearly 20 people ended.

Three superb places are arranged in the middle to show the essence of various martial arts from the beginning.

Zhou Zhen promised that he would be paid 1000 yuan for the film based on him. If he made it later, his children and grandchildren would get the copyright fee.

This cooperation mode surprised him. He not only eagerly agreed, but also actively promised to invite suitable roles as long as he gave money.

Even if domestic people are not interested in the film, foreign people will be interested.

The cultural output of martial arts films starts from now on.

Sun Cun looks handsome. Although he is silent, this is a silent film. Zhou Zhen is confident to make him a Kung Fu superstar in the world.

He was reluctant at first, but Zhou Zhen convinced him.

Zhou Zhen promised to teach him to fight and Tan leg, and offered him a high price of 200 yuan for a film.

At this time, his opposition is useless. If he doesn't come, sun Lutang can break his leg.

The old man is the most famous. Now he's making a film to promote him. He's very excited. If he hadn't been old, he would have wanted to make the film himself.

This film is the first one in Zhou Zhen's plan. The first one is to fight with the domestic people, the second one is to fight with the Chinese people, and the third one is to fight with the Japanese people.

In terms of plot, there are many films that can be used for reference. Zhou Zhen is not afraid of being ugly.

Nowadays, people have low requirements for movies. As long as they can tell a story completely on a silent screen, someone will watch it.

No one knows what acting skills and special effects.

As long as you play well, the audience will like it.

Zhou Zhen taught these filmmakers a complete lesson with the experience of later generations. Her main energy was still on collecting money.

The road angel is shown all over the country. At this time, banks are not as convenient as later generations. There is a 10% handling charge for remote storage.

This is not hundreds, thousands of silver dollars, hundreds of thousands of silver dollars. The handling fee alone is tens of thousands. It's better to transport by yourself.

Golden velvet sent hundreds of his men to collect money all over the country. Although it seems to cost a lot, it can actually save more than half of the cost.

Moreover, the film was also released abroad. As soon as it was released, it caused a nationwide sensation.

Rich Oriental customs, exquisite scenes, beautiful actors, a moving story like a camellia girl.

Coupled with the prosperous background of magic capital, the luxurious stage of the big world has set off an oriental fever.

Zhou Zhen's films are commercially promoted through the consulate, giving the consulate 10% commission, but one advantage is that with their supervision, everything can follow the formal business procedures.

Those foreign businessmen will not risk the interests of a film to offend people in officialdom. Even if there is some difference in the box office data, it will not be too much.

Every day, telegrams from various countries will be sent to Mordor. Seeing the income of the film, not to mention golden velvet, even Huang Chujiu is envious.

Dozens of people have been busy for less than two months, and the cost is less than 30000 silver yuan. Now the box office has exceeded ten million.

In the United States alone, supported by a large number of copies, the box office reached $2 million, second only to the box office records of several stars such as Chaplin.

At first, many people just wanted to see what kind of films could be made in the Far East.

As a result, they saw a well-made film, and none of the films they made could match the exquisite production.

Shooting techniques, clothing and acting skills of actors are all excellent. Every lens seems to be a textbook.

In France, some media even published a report that "excellent films are in the East, and French films need reform".

A story of dancers and artists from the East and an oriental Camellia girl have caused far more sensation in Europe than in the United States.

Zhou Zhen's soft hand in receiving money has been praised in the media.

Newspapers, large and small, have continuously published the sensational news of road angels in Europe and America. For China, which has been bending over, the films that have conquered Europe and America can be described as strengthening China's national prestige.

A film has achieved a social phenomenon.

Since the release of films in Europe and America before the Spring Festival caused a sensation, magic has added hundreds of film companies in just two months.

With the idea of becoming famous at one stroke, countless people want to make another film that shocked the world.

Zhou Zhen did not attack or support this phenomenon and stayed out of it.

Hundreds of thousands of silver dollars were received again. Martial artists from the South also gathered in the magic capital. Zhou Zhen arranged the acting training, but left the magic capital and went to Hebei and the capital.

The most important thing in film shooting is not the shooting process, but the preparation process.

The shooting of each lens includes a series of complex composition, such as the action and expression of the characters, clothing, makeup props, the angle of the camera, light, the background behind, and so on.

The same group of actors, almost the same props and costumes, can shoot the opposite "east evil and West poison" and "east becomes West".

Even if there is a version of any film, it is impossible for the same director to restore the original lens language, let alone others.

At present, Zhou Zhen has only a simple plot idea. He brought a group of subordinates to Hebei to investigate the shooting environment and improve the script.

The writing of the script should be based on the actual environment and how to show the lens language one by one. The preparatory work in the early stage is more complex than shooting.

Each scene should be displayed in which environment, from which angle, light processing and expression processing are very complex system integration.

Especially in the era of silent film, this is more important.

Chaplin became the only superstar in the silent film era because he grasped this very well.

Zhou Zhen wants to make a cross era work, which is also his last work planned.

After making this film, he can enjoy the rest of the good time at ease.

So he wants to make a more perfect work than the road angel as his imprint in this time and space.

In Hebei, he inspected several counties, selected several shooting sites in Baoding, and then left personnel for the set.

Later, he returned to the capital and used his identity to get permission to shoot in the Forbidden City.

He took three teams of photographers and specially made a wooden movable tower more than ten meters high.

On the tower, not only the boom was made, but also the exquisite slide rail was made.

He wants to record the Forbidden City of this era and show the ancient Chinese civilization to foreign people.

Martial arts films are just a carrier, and cultural publicity is the most important.

After investigating the shooting angle and the brilliance of the plot, Zhou Zhen plans to take out 50000 silver yuan to buy film when making films.

From all angles, record the majestic and powerful Forbidden City.

During this period, Zhou Zhen took out 300000 silver yuan and gave it to his father. He asked him to win over several warlords and become his own power.

This money must be spent. Even if they don't spend it themselves, someone will come to play the autumn wind.

Therefore, if you first win over a few warlords, you will form more effective support.

At the end of March, Zhou Zhen returned to the magic capital. At this time, the script has been written, all the actors have been in place and are in intense training.

On the first day of April, in the studio of magic world, the first film named "the growth of Kung Fu" officially began shooting.
