China Entertainment: Director’s Happiness Is so Simple

Chapter 326 Is Released, the Costumes and Makeup Should Be More Rigorous

Filming will continue, and in mainland China, following the hits of "Twenty Again" and "Initial D", the summer schedule has already been detonated.

Then everyone's eyes finally turned to the last domestic blockbuster of the summer.

Huayi King: It’s my turn this time!

On August 1st, the crew of "Peak 3" moved to the mainland for filming. On the same day, "Painted Skin" finally had its premiere after half a month of intensive publicity.

It has also obtained distribution passes in Southeast Asia and other places, and like "Initial D", it can achieve a 5-day delay in release in the mainland.

Although in the project "Painted Skin", Xingchen and Huayi have the same share, in terms of publicity, this is always Huayi's project, but Xingchen's special effects and part of the team are introduced.

Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, this movie is a return to glory for Huayi, which has been in turmoil for more than a year since Sister Hua left.

The premiere was a grand event.

It doesn’t work if it’s not grand.

The current commercial movies in the Mainland, let alone Huayi and Chen Jiashang, are actually the great poet and Lao Mouzi. Compared with Lu Ping'an's golden signature, if you want to achieve the same publicity effect, you have to spend more money.

But I, Huayi, am rich!

"A magical milestone in domestic film history"

"Rebirth of traditional literature"

"Hollywood special effects" and so on.

Various propaganda bombardments have been indiscriminately and intensively bombarded for half a month.

Just a piece of shit, the heat can reach the sky.

And in terms of quality.

All fans know so far is the trailer and theme song.

And these two things seem really good so far.

The trailer was directed by Xingchen, and it goes without saying that it feels blockbuster.

Fans can also see from the trailer that the special effects are flawless, just like the stars, oh, are they from the stars? There's nothing wrong with that.

The strongest one is the theme song "Painting Heart".

Jane Zhang's singing voice was a hit in last year's "Super Girl".

The dolphin sounds in "The Condor" in the first half of the year are also amazing.

The melody and singing of "Drawing Heart" this time are all excellent.

So combined, all pre-sales box office of "Painted Skin" directly exceeded 40 million.

Hong Kong great director Chen Jiashang, Zhou Gongzi + Chen Kun + Zeng Li.

Especially the last three leading actors, there are signs of upgrading their status before they are released.

Xingchen and Huayi also put a lot of thought into the promotion plan of the three leading actors.

Lizi was entrusted by Xingchen, and the marketing positioning was to assist Mr. Zhou, which means that if you don't compete for position, you won't be able to compete, so this is the most efficient and harmonious way.

It goes without saying that the main character is Mr. Zhou. The film would not work without her.

So in the question and answer session, Chen Jiashang recalled the past: "Of course Wang Sheng is Chen Kun. I have been optimistic about him for a long time. I was undecided about Xiao Wei's choice at first. Director Lu did not even think about it after reading the script. He said, "You must find Mr. Zhou, who else can play the role besides her?"

Mr. Zhou felt comfortable, and Chen Kun also felt comfortable, and they both responded to Li Zi: "At that time, we were thinking about who Pei Rong would find. Sure enough, Mei Sanniang came. The director's vision for casting was really amazing. .”

Chen Jiashang: "At that time, Director Lu and I happened to meet each other in Hengdian, and then we happened to go to the set of Liao Zhai. When I saw Zeng Li, I asked who this person was and we decided to play the role."

As for Wu Jing, she was also promoted to a star this time. Chen Jia said: "Wu Jing is very famous in Hong Kong. He is the villain of "Slaying the Wolf". Wow, the performance is really effective. This time we need a fighting actor. After looking for many people, I finally chose Wu Jing.”

Publicity means hello, me and everyone. The better the publicity is, the most beneficial it will be for actors who lack fame.

Now that the words are out, the next step is to watch a movie.

Soon, the movie started.

This version of "Painted Skin" is somewhat different from the original version.

I won’t talk about the actors, but the main thing is the scene and the way of persuasion.

The original version of the costume, how should I put it, the costumes of Xiao Wei and Pei Rong are good, but otherwise, at a glance, you can tell that this is Hong Kong style.

During the production process, Lu Ping'an learned that the original team responsible for serving Hua Dao was brought by Chen Jiashang from Hong Kong, and some of the people in this team were later members of Li Rengang's team.

Li Rengang was the person who later came up with the flying saucer hat of "Seeing the Dragon and Removing Armor".

This guy loves this stuff.

He also created a flying saucer hat universe tetralogy.

Since 2008, he has used the same visual style to shoot four movies with different historical backgrounds: "The Dragon Removes Armor", "The Imperial Guard", "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", and "The Lion". The characters in the drama all use smoke makeup. Xun, the clothes are all flying saucer hats.

In an interview, he said: "This is not my preference. This kind of helmet has existed in history. Even if there are one or two helmets on display in the museum, I feel that there are only these types of helmets. There is one aspect that the Chinese have not done. Well, it’s about protecting our ancient cultural relics.”

It does make sense, but the problem is that the flying saucer hat originated from the hat-shaped helmet that resembled an inverted sea bowl during the Southern Song Dynasty. This helmet shape was greatly developed in the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, but it was definitely unreasonable to use it in the Three Kingdoms period. Not to mention that this kind of helmet is usually pointed, because ancient Chinese, especially those in the Ming Dynasty, had buns, so the shape of the helmet must be very tall, leaving enough space for the buns.

So, Li Rengang either regarded all ancient Chinese as bald or bald, or just took a look at some helmets on display in the museum, and used the British helmet as a template as a prop without understanding it, and then blamed the Chinese for not protecting the cultural relics.

Lu Pingan didn't like this kind of magic change, and didn't know if this guy had other purposes, but after talking with the Xiangjiang team, he was sure that they were in a state of being sophisticated and unsophisticated about history.

For example, on the armor of the Song Dynasty, some Western elements or elements that only appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were put, and then they were modified for the purpose of looking good. As a result, the final product looked very strange, so that you knew at first glance that the armor of the Song Dynasty would never be like this.

But in their view, it's all ancient anyway, there is a template, it's fine if it's roughly the same.

This is exactly the same as the UFO hat.

Lu Pingan's attitude towards historical elements in movies has always been rigorous.

You can decide what dynasty it is at will, but after deciding, you have to use the style of that dynasty.

You can make some modern aesthetic adjustments to match the film's composition and aesthetic style, but the basics must still be consistent with history, unless you explicitly say it's fictional.

After all, this is a Chinese-language film, not a product of a small Hong Kong workshop.

The film is not only released in the mainland, but also exported, so it can't be messed up.

In the future, it would be best to let outsiders know what dynasty it is from by seeing the form of clothing.

This kind of thing can't be vague.

So Lu Ping'an pulled in the production team of "Wonderful Night 1".

Finally, after reasonable beautification, the visual effect of the current "Painted Skin" has a bit more historical unity and heaviness.

So when the fans criticize it, there is no need to criticize the costumes and props.

Then the movie begins.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Captain Wang Sheng led the Wang family army to rescue a stunning woman in a fierce battle with the sand bandits in the Western Regions
