Chapter 1150: Go to Xianggang to choose actors
Zou Wenhuai was already waiting at the airport at this time
Catherine is going to Xianggang to choose actors. This really kept him busy for a while.
The identity and status of Catherine now are different from the past. At this time, Catherine has the strength and identity that those people did not have in the past. The strength of Catherine at this time is no longer the same.
She is coming to Xianggang, if the governor of the ward calls, everyone will come to Pidianpidian.
Why?
Influential
After all, Catherine can be regarded as the coordinator of the school district. It is also built by Catherine herself, the most elite place in the world.
The Tower of Babel project is world-renowned
Even with Catherine’s enthusiasm, the Americans announced that-any attack on the school district would be regarded as a nuclear strike, and the attackers would be nuclear bombed.
Because of this, Catherine’s status has also risen.
Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people to know such things, but as a person with status, who doesn't know?
Just arrived in Xianggang, Catherine saw Zou Wenhuai who was waiting
"Mr. Zou, long time no see"
Catherine greeted each other
"Welcome to Xianggang, Miss Edson, we have prepared a place to rest for you"
They behaved very enthusiastically
"Well, okay" Catherine nodded: "Okay, I came to Xianggang this time mainly to select actors, well... I am going to shoot a big drama."
Zou Wenhuai nodded
"Xianggang is actually a good place. Coming here so often, without a house, it's really inconvenient..."
Catherine seemed to have thought of something suddenly
Damn, why did you think of buying a house again...
Catherine Alexander
"Forget it, let's go first"
This time Catherine ran to Xianggang alone, while Elsa and the others ran to the Great Wall with it—I really don’t know why they went there in a big winter...
However, they brought a large group of troops. The Chinese side was afraid that something would happen to them, so they sent a whole group to wait there.
All the way is very comfortable, it seems that the world in the past few years seems to be relatively peaceful...
At this moment, Catherine seemed to see a group of people inadvertently
So Catherine stopped the car and looked intently, Catherine understood
"Oh? Are you making a movie?"
Although Catherine came to Xianggang several times, this was the first time she saw a movie in Xianggang.
"Should it be okay if we go and see?"
Catherine wanted to see a movie made by people from Hunan and Hong Kong. After all, she plans to take some martial artists from here to the mainland later.
"This...no problem"
If there is no condition, we must create conditions
Zou Wenhuai still doesn't know who is making the movie, so he walks over immediately
At this time, Catherine found that there seemed to be some commotion over there.
Zou Wenhuai called the bodyguard at this time, so he went to ask
Soon after, Zou Wenhuai came back and Catherine asked, "What are they doing?"
"Uh, there are gangsters who want to collect land fees, and my bodyguard drove them away."
"Oh? How dare these people make trouble on the crew?"
Catherine is interested
And Zou Wenhuai is obviously quite embarrassed
Shaw Brothers, Art City, and DreamWorks are arguably the three most famous film studios in Xianggang.
what? You say Jiahe?
Sorry, because of Catherine’s existence, Golden Harvest seems impossible to exist anymore
...It seems that it will not be possible in the future
Because Zou Wenhuai, one of Jiahe's big brothers, is now doing miscellaneous things in his own hands...
DreamWorks is a foreign company. Although it is also very good in Xianggang, it is always boycotted. But even so, DreamWorks, with its status as a "foreigner", is a fish in the water—because there is no one. Dare to make trouble
And there is a local rich man in Art City. Shaw has been in business for many years, so no one dares to cause trouble.
But apart from these famous companies, other small film companies are different.
"Really, I really want to meet a gangster...maybe it will be interesting..."
My sword is already hungry and thirsty
At this time, Catherine was very anxious to try her skills. The last time she played against Wesker, Catherine was not addicted. If the group of gangsters were still there, could she kill the Quartet?
That must be a very interesting thing
Zou Wenhuai is Alexander here
Fortunately, when Catherine learned that this was only a small crew filming and there were no actors she liked, Catherine left disappointed.
"There are many people who make movies in Xianggang, but very few really make their debut."
This is the explanation Zou Wenhuai gave to Catherine
"Yes, Oriental Hollywood..."
Catherine shook her head. It is a pity that some of the stars in her photo have not yet come out. Otherwise, Liu Xhua, Liang Xwei, etc. will be pulled over to take a picture of Journey to the West... Well, it seems very interesting?
After a small episode, Catherine finally arrived at the hotel where she was staying
The itinerary started in the afternoon, so there is still time. At this time, Catherine is thinking about what she should do next.
In her last life, Catherine has learned to make movies, and she has also learned about TV dramas.
Among them, this "Journey to the West", Catherine will never forget
As a timeless classic, the old version of "Journey to the West" has set countless brilliant records, which can be called the glory of an era: it was the only censored, filming and broadcasting TV series in the 1980s that was filmed for 6 years. , Has been broadcast for 6 years; it is the TV series with the longest filming time and the most filming locations. Except for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the other side of the Strait, almost all of the country has left behind the footprints of the crew; it is the TV series with the most broadcast times in the country and even in the world , Has been broadcast more than 2,000 times so far, which is enough to apply for the Guinness World Records; it is the TV show with the most special effects and the most earthy special effects in the play. It requires the most special effects, but the most earthy way to achieve them; it is the only one with the most special effects. The TV series that won the Golden Eagle Award won the award once when it reaches 11 episodes. After all 25 episodes have been played, the TV series won the award again.
After filming the first scene of the TV series "Journey to the West" in 1982, in the next 6 years, the crew went north and south and completed a classic that is difficult to overcome.
Of course, Catherine also knows that this is the most difficult TV series to film.
In the early 1980s, TV dramas were still a thing of the past. At that time, there were quite a lot of objections to Director Yang, who directed "Journey to the West", which is not to be counted. After the live shooting, they also received huge resistance.
——The live-action shooting led by the crew has encountered unprecedented resistance from the beginning of the filming. Many people think they are visiting the mountains and water. Many people think that they should be shot in the studio. But at the time, CCTV was only in those few studios. I have to use both up and down shows, I can’t shoot at all
That's not even a big deal. Later, the working group formed by the Ministry of Finance and CCTV specially set up the crew to investigate whether it was a tour of the mountains and the water, and whether it was a waste of money.
——Perhaps in the 21st century, you really have to guard against it, but this is in the early 1980s
In addition to the difficult shooting conditions, the crew has to resist external resistance
Although the audience's response to "Journey to the West" was quite good after it was broadcast, the TV station was reluctant to pay for the filming anymore, and told them to end it, because it was completely contrary to the audience's reaction in society.
But in 1986, the crew really had no money, so they borrowed money to film-otherwise the audience would not have seen the 25 episodes of Journey to the West.
For Catherine, funding is indeed not a problem
But anyway, Catherine is still a foreigner
Although the permission was given to Catherine above, there might be someone shouting something like a monster...
Catherine does not think religion is a necessity of human life, but Catherine just finds such mythology interesting. It's as if Catherine also likes fantasy worlds.
But the Chinese in this era... uh... maybe some of them are easier to go online
What should I do when facing this situation?
In another way, Catherine started to think again with the Chinese way of thinking.
What do they need most?
Foreign exchange
"Well, then invest another 100 million yuan..."
Seeing the face of two billion dollars, they will not oppose themselves?
Foreign exchange is an absolute killer... Besides, Catherine has already asked. Some time ago, China introduced the "Journey to the West" from Japan.
......Uh, but the effect is not good
——The plot is too cheating. It’s okay for Tang Seng to be a woman. Monkey King’s appearance or something, that can make people vomit blood for three liters.
As for the filming of the script and the crew, Catherine thought it was pretty good.
The Chinese in this era also have various problems, but in general, they are still relatively simple
For example, the crew of "Journey to the West" went abroad and filmed the location of several episodes such as "Tianzhu Receiving the Jade Rabbit" and "Bosheng Elysium" in Thailand. This should be the first TV crew in the Mainland to shoot abroad.
There were also many voices at that time, saying that there is not enough domestic and they still have to go abroad to play
But the crew explained everything with facts: they stayed for a total of 20,000 US dollars and went out to shoot ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but when they came back, they had 3,000 US dollars left.
"Then get the equipment in place first..."
Catherine was talking to herself like this, and then called Zou Wenhuai directly, and then asked him to contact the DreamWorks headquarters and ask a special effects team to come over there, and Catherine also planned to use a panoramic camera for filming, which requires the other party Come forward
"Well... Next, it's time to choose an actor..."
Speaking of which, Xianggang at this time can be regarded as entering the fast lane of film development. It is not a hassle to choose a few famous in the future.
But for Xianggang itself, the appearance of Catherine was a big sensation.
For Catherine, her choice of actors may not be a big deal, but soon, Catherine’s incident caused a huge response in Xianggang...
