Chapter 242
This Spring Festival, Ada Choi and Zhang Jin and his wife had a very happy life because they accepted Wang Xu's invitation to join "A Chinese Odyssey" before the New Year.
Zhang Jin served as the martial arts director of the film, and Cai Shaoqi joined the role of Princess Iron Fan. As a result, Cai Shaoqi is the fourth popular first-line actress to join after Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Yan and Zhao Rongrong.
On this day, spring is bright.
Ada Choi and his wife appeared in Changsha to participate in the film's trial assembly. As soon as they arrived at Jinxiong Film and Television, they saw twenty or thirty reporters holding long guns and hundreds of movie fans standing in front of the building.
"Empress!"
Movie fans shouted excitedly when they saw Ada Choi appear, and the reporters did surround Ada Choi and wanted to draw more insider information from her mouth.
Cai Shaoqian always kept a polite smile and shook her hands to the reporters. She did not respond to a word, and then walked into the building under the escort of the security guards.
Like her, several actors who arrived earlier followed the agreement and did not disclose the news about the film to the reporter. Now Wang Xu's movies are getting more and more good at using mystery. Of course, this is also because he has the qualification to play mystery, which makes ordinary crews messed up by themselves.
"Sister Yu, Brother Jin!"
When Cai Shaoqian and his wife walked into the building, Wang Xu's agent Chen Ruan greeted her. "Oh, Ruan Ruan!" Cai Shaoqian and Chen Ruan gave a warm hug.
"Sister Yu, you look so good if you don't see you on a holiday, and Brother Jin is also full of red face." Chen Ruan led the two into the elevator while joking.
"Ruan Ruan, you are getting more and more beautiful, and you are a big agent now. Congratulations!"
"Don't praise me anymore. I'm just a little assistant. What kind of big agent is there."
"Hey hey, that modesty means you have already started to act like a big agent!"
"Haha. You're really good at joking!"
Chen Ruan smiled and said, "We are going to the fourth floor now. Brother Dahammer and others are already putting on makeup. There are actors who can't take photos when trying on makeup, and assistants and agents cannot bring their phones in, even me."
Cai Shaoyan nodded to show that he understood.
The fourth floor arrived soon. Cai Shaoyan saw several familiar female stars, including Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Yan, Zhao Rongrong, and several of them wearing makeup in the room.
When the three actresses saw Cai Shaoyan and his wife coming, they all greeted each other in friendly terms. Among them, Liu Yan and Zhang Jin were good friends in the filming of "The Gambling Saint", and they hugged each other when they met.
Several actors congratulated each other and said that everyone was very happy to work together. At this time, Cai Shaoqi asked which actors were changing clothes in the room.
Zhao Rongrong told her that there were Luo Jiaying, Wu Mengda, Qian Feng, Xiao Ai, Wang Xu and Zhuang Xiaodie inside. Moreover, Qian Feng, Wu Mengda and Wang Xu were inside for a long time.
"Uncle Da, Brother Feng and Brother Dahammer, one is Zhu Bajie, the other is Bull Demon King, and the other is Sun Wukong. The makeup of the three of them is very complicated and they have to be reversed. It started at five o'clock in the morning, and it has been 4 hours now."
All the actors present, and they knew that sometimes it took several hours to wear a costume. Cai Shaoyan herself had experience. She played the queen in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". It took half an hour to wear the palace clothes and headdresses every time she wore it. If she wanted to play the elderly queen, she also needed special makeup, and the skin on her hands and neck needed to be aged, which took six or seven hours.
This time, "American Journey" spent a lot of money to hire the top international special effects team, which is Vita Studio, which has participated in the special effects production of "Lord of the Rings" and "Avatar".
"A Chinese Odyssey" has an investment budget of 300 million yuan. Of which 150 million is spent on special effects production. In the film, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Spider Spirit, Bull Demon King, and hundreds of monsters of all sizes all require a large number of 3D special effects. For this reason, Jinchu Film and Television and Vita Studio began to collaborate on designing and producing these models half a year ago.
The headquarters of Wita Studios in New Zealand has produced more than 200 clay sculptures for the film "A Chinese Odyssey" and it takes ten large trucks to install them.
Wang Xu is confident that the new version of "A Chinese Odyssey" will definitely win a few streets compared to Stephen Chow's "A Chinese Odyssey".
"Four female stars, please come in."
At this time, a staff member came out to take Cai Shaoyan and the other two into a dressing room, leaving only Zhang Jin, Chen Ruan and seven or eight assistants who came with the stars waiting outside.
Another hour has passed.
Cai Shaoqian, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhao Rongrong and Liu Yan came out in beautiful costumes, followed by Tang Monk played by Luo Jiaying and Sha Monk played by Xiao Ai also came out.
Tang Monk and Sha Monk have references to various versions of TV series, and there is no need to make a reversal model, which is the simplest. In comparison, the four beauties' costumes require some thoughts to design.
After the several people came out, they commented on each other's outfits. If they were dissatisfied with them, they would make suggestions on what details they needed to be modified. The designers would immediately redesign them based on their opinions. It can be seen that this work is not that easy, and the crew arranged three days to try out the costume.
"Look, Sun Wukong is out."
At this time, Chen Ruan shouted, it turned out that Wang Xu had finally come out, and the big guy hurriedly surrounded him.
Wang Xu's version of Sun Wukong designed it towards the Monkey King's principle. He only made some inverted molds on his hair, eyes, nose, and mouth, and only a little monkey hair was stuck on his face.
In general, it is the personified Sun Wukong, who can vaguely distinguish Wang Xu's original appearance.
"Senior Brother!" It was Zhu Bajie's shouting. When everyone looked back, Zhu Bajie played by Wu Mengda came out.
It was really Zhu Bajie, and he could not see his original appearance at all. Only Wu Mengda's shadow could be found from the voice of his speech and his eyes.
"I'm pregnant, I'm a twin. I can't walk anymore with my senior brother!"
"hehe!"
Everyone laughed as Zhu Bajie was stumbling and staggering. Wu Mengda's big belly weighed four or five kilograms, which was a bit heavy. But he was not even worse. Qian Feng's "crying" sound came from it.
"It's so miserable~~Slayhammer, Uncle Da, I can't walk. Come and help me!"
Qian Feng, no, it was Bull Demon King who came out. He was wearing bionic biological skin all over his body, with metal armor on his outside. He had two cow horns on his head and a ferocious black iron mask. He was burly and his arms were as thick as ordinary people's arms.
There were rows of sharp thorns extending from both arms to shoulders, one of which was holding a fierce trident.
If it is a 3D model in the computer, his eyes will still be red, his horns will burn violently when they get angry, and the weapon trident will also emit a blue light. Now it is a physical model, of course there is no such light and shadow effect, but this is already fierce enough.
If Qian Feng hadn't spoken out first, everyone would have been shocked when they saw this monster come out.
Wang Xu was very satisfied with the computer special effects given by Weita Studio. The design of this Bull Demon King is a bit like the ultimate wave ss in the video. Of course, the original special effects are inferior to those of today.
The Bull Demon King looks really scary, but it makes people feel miserable from his mouth, and it seems very difficult to raise his legs. This contrasting look makes everyone laugh constantly.
An assistant curiously took the Bull Demon King's trident and played with it. It turned out to be metal, but it was actually very light. I didn't know how to make it out of materials.
Just as everyone was admiring the Bull Demon King, Zhao Xiaolan's voice came from inside: "Fairy Zixia is coming out!"
The boss’s wife is coming out, and everyone is staring at the dressing room with eager eyes. Even Wang Xu, who had seen it for a long time, stood with everyone, looking forward to his wife’s appearance.
And Zhao Rongrong and Gao Yuanyuan couldn't wait to push the door and walk in, and have a sneak peek.
“Wow, so beautiful…”
The amazement of Zhao Rongrong and Gao Yuanyuan came from the dressing room. Hearing the sound inside, the people outside felt even more itchy and began to look at each other.
After two minutes, finally, with the support of Zhao Rongrong, Gao Yuanyuan and Zhao Xiaolan, a beautiful ancient beauty who was as beautiful as a fairy came out slowly.
The beauty was wearing a bright red gauze dress, a big fish-white shirt inside, a blood-tooth-colored gauze skirt, a red flame-colored gauze dress, a snake-like bun on her head, a white jade hairpin in the middle, and a bright red pomegranate flower was inserted on her temples.
Holding a sword in his left hand, wearing a bell on his wrist, and making a pleasant ringtone when his arms swing.
The beauty has a beautiful body like the undulating mountains and rivers, and her crystal clear skin like snow and full of elasticity, which makes everyone look straight at it.
There are beautiful women in the north, and they are peerless.
One look at the city, and the other look at the country.
What he was talking about was Zhuang Xiaodie in front of him. Even Wang Xu, who was with her day and night, couldn't help but scream obsessively: "Wow, perfect. Wife, I really love you so much!"
Wang Xu is rarely so stingy in front of outsiders. You can imagine how satisfied he is. On the contrary, Zhuang Xiaodie blushed when he was shouting in front of everyone. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
