Soon, the movie is about to start. Zhiling takes Lin Chen's arm and walks into the screening hall. In front of and behind them, leilong and five bodyguards disguise themselves as the audience and protect them quietly.
In the movie, Gu Zai, dressed as a soldier and with short hair, appeared on the screen.
"How handsome
Immediately, female fans screamed in the movie hall.
But the people around them didn't blame them. On the contrary, many people nodded silently.
Gu Zai's military uniform is really handsome, and just in the first act, it makes people feel different from the past TV series version of the story of Qin.
Xiang Shaolong was a Hong Kong Island police officer in the "biography of seeking Qin" broadcast by Hong Kong Island TV station in those years. This time, the film version goes back to the original setting. Xiang Shaolong becomes a special military soldier, which is consistent with the original work.
Although it is only a change of character setting, it has made people feel the pursuit of restoring the original work in this film.
In the first part of the journey, the film almost completely restores the original work. Xiang Shaolong appears as a prodigal son in love and an elite in the army. There are many military scenes in it, which are vivid.
The audience may think it's just a set, but Lin Chen can see that NIMA is a real barracks!
It must be Wu Jing who gave it to Gu Zai.
After that, Xiang Shaolong accepted the experiment and went through the state of Zhao one year before Ying Zheng, king of Qin, ascended the throne, only to find that he was exiled in ancient times and could not return.
In order to go back to the future, Xiang Shaolong, who knew little about history, began to find Ying Zheng, who was still under house arrest and lived a protonic life in the state of Zhao and had not succeeded to the throne at that time.
At the beginning of the plot, guzai dealt with it very smoothly. He didn't look like a new director at all, and he didn't procrastinate on the plot at all.
After that, Xiang Shaolong went to Handan, the capital of Zhao, and gradually stepped into the aristocratic circle of Zhao state through his excellent martial arts and wisdom. Then, Xiang Shaolong and Zhao mu, the ruling state of Zhao, had an intrigue in officialdom and love.
Although Xiang Shaolong is romantic but not obscene, although affectionate and affectionate, he lingered in the flowers, in that special era like a fish in water.
However, after several calculations by Zhao Mu and others, Xiang Shaolong conspired to flee to the state of Qin, and disguised his adopted son Xiaopan as later Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng.
Finally, with the help of Wu family, Xiang Shaolong successfully avoided Zhao Mu's eyes and ears. His family, Zhu Ji and Ying Zheng's mother and son escaped from Zhao state and went straight to Xianyang.
This is the end of the first drama of the state of Zhao.
In the past, Lin Chen had seen the story of the TV series "the story of Qin Xun" many times and was very familiar with it. So he naturally found that the story of the film version was very different from that of the TV series version.
Because of the cost, many characters and stories have been deleted in the TV version of the biography of Qin, but almost all of them appear in this film version!
Gu Tsai has collected most of the young and beautiful actresses on Hong Kong Island, and let them appear in the play. Even if they only appear in the role of maid for a few seconds, they are all beauties.
Angela, who is arranged by Lin Chen to join the cast, is also on the stage as an important figure Tingfang.
In addition to the integrity of the plot, as the most essential point of the story of Qin, the film is also completely restored.
For example, Xiang Shaolong relied on fighting skills in the army to easily fight against the enemy horse bandits. For example, he attracted countless beauties by relying on Tang poetry and Song poetry.
A section of the plot of pretending to be more handsome is completely restored by guzai, which makes the audience enjoy watching it.
Of course, the movie version of the story of Qin Dynasty is not completely restored. For the plots of heart abuse and human abuse in the original book, guzai has made some changes. While maintaining the tragic plot, it does not make people feel unacceptable.
In addition, for the sake of scale, some plots have been deleted, but guzai's treatment is also good. Instead of deleting for the sake of deletion, he changed the plot to meet the needs of scale on the big screen.
In addition, Gu Zai's restoration on the grand scene also enabled many audiences who were dissatisfied with the drama version to do as they always wanted.
Once upon a time, Xiang Shaolong, who was deleted from the drama version, fled the first World War of Zhao and was moved to the big screen by guzai.
The size of the battlefield surprised all the audience.
Before that, films that were recognized as good at war scenes in China, such as hero and Chibi, which Zhiling once played, were not worth mentioning before the Wujiabao war.
"My God! How did you make this scene of guzai? "
Zhiling has played in "Red Cliff" and knows that it is difficult to shoot war scenes, so she feels totally incredible about the scenes on the screen.
Because everything is so lifelike.
As many as 30000 Warring States soldiers besieged Wujiabao. This scene looks completely lifelike, as if the real ancient war was photographed by guzai.
Lin Chen knew something about it and explained to her, "look at the actor who plays Teng Yi. His name is Wu Jing. He is the one who contacted the army for guzai. The play borrowed 5000 soldiers from the army and invited the Hollywood ring king's team to do special effects. This scene alone burned guzai's budget of 200 million Hong Kong dollars."
"200 million?" Zhiling was surprised.
"That's not all. If it wasn't for Gu Zai's own special effects team, which has some repetitive special effects production, I'm afraid 200 million would not be enough."
Movie special effects burn money in this way. In the past, Chinese movies have been criticized for their special effects. Even some movies that claim to invite Hollywood teams to make special effects are hot. In fact, the money for those movies is not in place.
In Hollywood, the average price of special effects per second is $1000! This is still the average price. If there is a demand for time, the price will be higher.
So Hollywood's top special effects are all piled up with money. The cost of a special effects movie is 100 million yuan, which is quite common.
On the other hand, in China, when it comes to inviting the Hollywood team and investing tens of millions of dollars, I'm afraid the money actually given to people is not even 10 million dollars, and more money is given to the stars, and the rest of the money still wants to produce good special effects. Isn't that a dream?
But this time the biography of Qin Dynasty is totally different. All the investment Lin Chen gave guzai was used in the production.
In addition to the 200 million yuan spent on inviting foreign teams, and our own special effects company to complete the special effects of the story of Qin, the rest of the budget was also spent on mass actors, army actors, props and scenes.
As for the stars in the film, except that he is a big name, the rest are not new people, or actors in the previous drama version, and the film pay is not high.
But even so, fortunately, there are not many big scenes in the first part of the story of Qin, so the budget is enough.
If it is the next two, guzai estimates that the budget may exceed a staggering billion!
But is it worth the investment?
This can be seen by the spontaneous applause of many people around Lin Chen from the end of the movie to the beginning of the cast.
If it is to be described in one sentence, Lin Chen can also be described in the words of an audience sitting in the front row of him.
"Great, it's the best adaptation I've ever seen!"
