Entertainment Empire - Chapter 924

c882 Training and filming

As for the fact that Luo Xun likes to take Huang Bo to film, even the media has noticed it. There was a hot news that a group of actors headed by Huang Bo were Luo Xun’s “harem”.

Of course, this “harem” is not the same as that “harem”.

In addition to Huang Bo, this “harem” also includes Wang Baoqiang, Xu Zheng, Deng Chao and others. Each of them is very successful and has received great help from Luo Xun.

Take Wang Baoqiang for example.

A “Lost in Thailand” was a box office hit, which made his comedy talent widely recognized. A national variety show “Running Man” made him more famous and became an actor familiar to young people. He also appeared in the popular “The Sun Also Rises”. Although he was not the protagonist, he also made a lot of money –

Let’s talk about Xu Zheng.

In the same “Lost in Thailand”, Luo Xun almost made the other party ascend to heaven in one step, directly making him the director and the leading actor. This alone is already exaggerated.

Not to mention Deng Chao.

He was the biggest beneficiary of the popularity of “Running Man” that year. At that time, his popularity as the captain of the Running Man team made his competitor Huang Xiaoming envious, not to mention that Luo Xun provided him with the opportunity to cooperate with Marvel. As for how to cooperate specifically, Luo Xun is not concerned for the time being.

He is very determined.

Only when there is no room for further breakthroughs in China will he go to the international field for development, and now for him, there is still room for improvement in China.

For example…

The box office of actors exceeds 10 billion; for example, the box office of directors exceeds 10 billion; only when these big goals are achieved, Luo Xun can be regarded as truly unstoppable in China.

However, the road still needs to be taken step by step.

Luo Xun, who doesn’t like to be ambitious, quickly put his mind into the shooting. Most of today’s shooting is outdoor scenes, which do not require too much performance, and are purely collecting some pictures.

Luo Xun will stare at some outdoor scenes.

For some outdoor scenes, Luo Xun himself will also participate in them. After all, he is the male lead, and he will appear in most of the scenes.

The first day of shooting was completed.

Xia Yu patted his calf and said, “You are quite interesting as a director. On the first day of filming, you actually let us big names go on location. Do you know how much we are paid for one day of filming?”

“Can it be higher than mine?”

Luo Xun teased, then laughed, “This is to help you get into the mood. Put on your clothes and enter the plot first, so that you can integrate into it.”

While talking.

Many tents have been set up around. This is also Luo Xun’s request, so that everyone can live in the tents at night: “The characters in the movie have lived like this, so we can do the same.”

“I agree.”

Huang Bo looked up at the sky and said, “How nice, the sky is blue, the stars are blinking, beautiful.”

“I play an American girl.”

Xia Yu rolled his eyes at Luo Xun.

Luo Xun laughed: “I’m sorry, otherwise you can take a car to the hotel and come early tomorrow, so as not to delay our work.”

“Then forget it.”

Xia Yu didn’t want to be accused of being unprofessional. She was very strict with herself in acting.

“As long as you agree.”

Luo Xun clapped his hands and drew the attention of all the actors: “We will hand out a book later. Everyone should read it and learn it carefully.”

“What book?”

Everyone was curious, but they soon understood, because Luo Xun handed out “Quotations from Mao Zedong”. How could people of that era not understand such an important thing?

Not only that.

After reading “Quotations from Mao Zedong”, Luo Xun also took everyone to watch model operas, which were also popular in that era.

He was well prepared.

In fact, such training would be better before the official filming of the movie, but Luo Xun didn’t have time to do it. Anyway, it didn’t make much difference to train while filming.

Not only important actors.

Luo Xun assigned tasks to the extras. They all wore costumes to work, imitated going to the countryside to join the production team, and even assigned squad leaders to let everyone get in touch with the pulse of that era to the greatest extent –

Unlike the main actors.

Luo Xun arranged for the assistant director to train this group of extras long before the filming started. By the time the filming started, this group of people had trained for more than a month, so there was no problem with their professionalism. On the contrary, he, Huang Bo, Xia Yu and others had not trained much and needed to learn a lot of things temporarily.

After finishing all this.

It was already three hours later.

Everyone was not sleepy, so they gathered together to chat. Xia Yu asked, “Is it difficult to shoot a green screen scene?”

“You haven’t shot one before?”

“Yes, I have, but I have never shot a scene that is more magical. Most of the shots in the whole movie require green screen performances.”

“Easy.”

Luo Xun smiled and said, “Just rely on your imagination. I will remind you when to give you a close-up. A green light flashes, and a big zongzi appears in front of you. We start shooting, and then you imagine that there are big zongzi behind the camera.”

“It’s scary.”

Huang Bo wrapped his clothes tightly.

Xia Yu naturally knew what a zongzi was. After all, to participate in this movie, you have to read the novel of “Ghost Blowing Light”: “Then you have to tell me how big and tall the zongzi is. Is it this big, this big, or this big?”

“At least you can gesture seriously.”

Everyone laughed, because when Xia Yu described the size, he drew a circle of about the same size with both hands. There is no more perfunctory gesture than this.

After laughing.

Tired, everyone went to rest. Luo Xun lay in the tent, said good night to Sui Sui, and fell asleep soon.

The next day.

It was still mainly outdoor shooting, but there were more performances. At the same time, Luo Xun received news from the team that the tomb-robbing scene was completed-

During the preparation of the film.

Luo Xun asked the team to make the scene under the tomb, because there were several shots that needed to be shot with a gorgeous feeling, which was difficult to shoot with pure CG.

This is not an easy task.

After all, this kind of scene is not like the grassland, where you can just find a ready-made one. You must create something that does not exist according to the description of the novel and the script. Whether it is the human resources, material resources or financial resources consumed, it is very terrifying.

Fortunately, all this was completed.

After reading it a few times, Luo Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and even the mood for shooting was better. He announced directly during the break: “The official shooting will start tomorrow. Half of our outdoor shots have been collected.”

Everyone nodded.

Luo Xun was looking at the finished product picture sent below on his mobile phone. The huge device that looked like a red spider lily, photographed from a high altitude, had a rather magnificent feeling –

This was the effect Luo Xun pursued.

For “Mojin: The Lost Tomb”, Luo Xun’s requirements were to have a charming, magnificent, dreamy, and mysterious feeling. The style of special effects would also affect the audience’s perception of the movie.
