Darkwalker of the Sky World

Sun Cunzhou has been very anxious recently. He lived nearly thirty years old, and for the first time, he learned from scratch like an idiot.

At the beginning, standing in front of the camera, he was uncomfortable.

As a result, Zhou Zhen arranged for a photographer to follow him all day long without turning on the camera while carrying the camera.

Eat, sleep, practice martial arts, train acting, and even go to the toilet.

However, the effect was very good. After half a month, he became accustomed to the existence of cameras.

Sun Lutang invited nearly a hundred martial artists to the magic city, and Zhou Zhen generously paid for the travel and food expenses. He was not afraid of crowds, but he was afraid that there were no suitable actors.

During Zhou Zhen's inspection in Hebei and Beijing, these martial artists were arranged for acting training.

They don’t need how clever acting skills they have, at least they have to be seen on the screen and can be clearly positioned.

A few actors in the company acted as teachers, and they have been teaching them their respective postures, starting from the beginning, from the expressions of speech and the posture of walking.

When Zhou Zhen returned to the magic city, their training also came to an end.

Zhou Zhen spent three days and left forty people who touched the threshold. The others paid subsidies to let them go home.

Most of these people are uneducated, and belong to the category of people who are uncultivated by elm bumps.

Don't say standing in front of the camera, just let them make a few different expressions, they can't do it well.

Of course, Zhou Zhen is most concerned about Sun Cunzhou, he is a veritable actor, and he is also a shortcoming of the whole movie.

But this is a martial arts movie, his kung fu is very good, this advantage is not comparable to later movie stars.

Those who don't know how to act can be tuned out in later generations. It seems like that, not to mention that the audience's requirements are lower now.

And he has another advantage, that is handsome.

In terms of Kung Fu, he is taller than later generations of Kung Fu superstars; in terms of looks, he is also more handsome than the two Dragon Brothers, and Brother Jie, Bullet.

With thick eyebrows, big eyes, grandeur, and an excellent Kung Fu suit, acting is not so important in this action-oriented movie.

However, the literary opera of the whole play is the most difficult, most of the literary operas in the room, Zhou Zhen was filmed in the studio of the magic city.

At this time, Zhou Zhen became the Great Demon King and brought Sun Cun Zhou to life.

If it hadn't been for Mr. Sun Lutang's presence, and his wife and children were all here, he would have absconded.

During this process, Zhou Zhen also found a good seedling, and that was his eight-year-old son.

The little guy is still young and a bit spiritual, and teaches him acting, and he can do it faster than the grown-ups.

Moreover, he has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and it was just right to play the protagonist when he was a child.

Zhou Zhen felt a little regretful for him. He who had read Sun Lutang's history remembered that this little guy was a battalion commander and died on the battlefield during the Peninsular War.

There are not many indoor theaters in Demon City, mainly on the capital side and Hebei side, but mainly outdoor theaters.

It took only half a month for Sun Cunzhou to finish filming these scenes with difficulty.

Zhou Zhen booked a train and drove everyone from the crew to Hebei.

When setting out, because the heroine Sun Cimei was following, Bai Xiuzhu was worried about Zhou Zhen and let Xiao Lian follow her.

But Xiao Lian was a paper tiger, and within a few days of arriving in Hebei, he was pleased by Sun Cimei.

When preparing to go to the capital, Sun Cimei moved into Zhou Zhen's room, which made everyone on the crew envy.

To Zhou Zhen's surprise, the Hebei filming went smoothly, and the little guy performed well, bringing to life his grandfather's short experience when he was a child.

The old man followed all the way to watch the filming, and he couldn't do more for the grandson.

As for the son, he feels a bit hated that iron is not made of steel. When the shooting was not going well, he would yell at him, behave well, and only nodded slightly.

After shooting the Hebei film, the main filming location was in the capital.

The plot has been changed here, originally Zhou Zhen planned to end the plot of the first drama in Baoding.

But when I arrived in the capital, I wanted to promote oriental culture and introduce the Forbidden City to foreigners. In the end, I changed the plot to Sun Lutang's opening of a martial arts museum in the capital.

When I was in Hebei, there were not many martial arts masters used, mainly to play Sun Lutang's brother and master in the process of learning martial arts.

When you arrive in the capital, there will be two battles. All the martial artists will participate in the performance, and some people will be selected as a group performance.

When he arrived in the capital, Zhou Zhen had more entertainment.

Although he gave 300,000 yuan to the army, other yamen also came to fight the autumn wind.

Now the whole country knows that Malu Angel sold more than 5 million US dollars in box office abroad, and Zhou Zhenneng divided more than 2 million dollars, which is 6 million silver dollars.

The domestic box office has now exceeded 7 million silver dollars, and he can divide it into 3.5 million.

This is the income of nearly tens of millions of silver dollars, even if some of the expenses are spent, Zhou Zhen still has an income of several million in his hands.

Had he not been for the prime minister, he would have been chopped with leeks a long time ago.

Now all departments are too poor to open the pot, and Zhou Zhen is helpless, so he can only give three million to his father and ask him to make arrangements.

Once you have mastered the allocation of resources, you have also mastered the power. The current Jinquan is really in full swing.

Now many film companies have released their films, most of which are still crudely made.

The audience is not stupid. After being fooled a few times, they are not willing to pay the bill.

However, China’s market is very large. Even if the box office in movie theaters is not high, they will buy a few broadcasting-grade TV sets, and go to the county and villages to show them, and they can pay back.

In short, today's Chinese movies are developing much faster than in real history.

It's just that there is no other movie like Angel of the Road as popular.

Zhou Zhen is also suspicious that his work, "Kung Fu," which has devoted more effort and made more sophisticated works, may not be as good as Malu Angel's performance.

After all, the first one gets the most attention.

Putting away those trivial matters, the shooting continued.

The shooting location of the Beijing Martial Arts Museum is in the alley near Jingshan, the back wall of the Forbidden City, and the alley scenery in Houhai, which have been shot many times.

After the simple training, the martial artists made mistakes many times after the official shooting began.

Zhou Zhen's scheduling ability is good when there are few people, and when there are too many people, it is a little uncontrollable, so the shooting is particularly unsatisfactory.

Often because one person makes a mistake, the entire shot has to be retaken.

Zhou Zhen is now making a lot of money and is striving for perfection at all costs.

It was not until mid-June that the final shot was taken.

In the last big scene, Sun Lutang opened a martial arts hall in the capital, and then clashed with the local martial arts masters. There were only three of them, dealing with dozens of opponents.

Zhou Zhen directly arranged the scene to be filmed at the Golden Water Bridge at the gate of the Forbidden City.

Today the Forbidden City has been opened to the public. In order not to affect the visit of tourists, the shooting time is used in the morning and evening.

Not to mention, when the sun comes out in the morning, when the setting sun shines on the tower in the evening, the momentum is more magnificent.

The scene was chased and played all the way, and it took half a month to complete the filming.

When Zhou Zhen announced that all the shots were finished, everyone in the crew cheered.

Zhou Zhen also invited everyone to have a big meal on the Tianfu as a finale.

Tianfu has been in operation for two hundred years. It is famous for its sauced elbows. People in this era are short of oil and water. People who like roast duck definitely don't like pork as much.

Some people don't want to continue making movies. They ate and drank enough, and returned home with generous rewards.

Zhou Zhen stayed with others who had training value and were willing to continue making movies.

Now he, not to mention dozens of martial artists, even hundreds or thousands, he can also afford to raise them.

After the filming, he could not leave the capital. Because the big shots didn't let him go, they wanted him to edit and produce in the capital. They had to watch Zhou Zhen's painstakingly filmed film for the first time.

Zhou Zhen felt more and more repressed in the capital. These old guys are all human beings, and there is always reason to convince you, and they can interfere with his decision.

When you talk to him about the rules, he talks to you morally; when you talk to him morally, he talks about feelings to you; when you talk about feelings to him, he pretends to be pitiful to you.

After a rough calculation, Zhou Zhen was coaxed away by almost 3 million during this period of time in addition to the 3 million that he gave to his father.

In this, the navy alone coaxed 2.6 million away.

The navy bought warships with a budget of only five million, which was only enough to buy two German destroyers.

They asked for another million from Jinquan to buy weapons and ammunition on the warship, but it was still a lot worse.

The officials of the Admiralty showed loyalty to Jin Quan, while sending people to pester Zhou Zhen and cry for poverty all day long.

Zhou Zhen settled the accounts. Indeed, it was not enough to buy warships, and a base number of ammunition was too small, so he had to donate another 2.6 million to let the navy build the fleet.

Zhou Zhen didn't want to stay in the capital, and because he arrived in the capital, he couldn't live with Sun Cimei.

Although Sun Cimei was in Zhou Zhen's bed, it was still relatively difficult to enter the Jin family's door.

Zhou Zhen could only put her outside, rented a yard for her, and sent two old mothers to take care of her.

At the end of June, Zhou Zhen finally edited and copied the film.

The total length of the movie is 92 minutes, which is a very long movie in this era.

A film is only 25 minutes at most, and it cannot be broken at a critical time, so all four are between 20 and 25 minutes.

On June 1st, the film premiered in Beijing. On that day, all sectors of the government showed great face and participated in the premiere ceremony.

And this movie is also the first martial arts film, in which hard bridge and hard horse fights, let everyone not disappointed, let people watch with enthusiasm.

In addition to fighting, the film also shows profoundly from the misery of the late Qing Dynasty to the happiness of the Republic of China.

In particular, the film was shot in April and May. Spring blossoms everywhere, and the shots are very beautiful. It shows the majesty of the Forbidden City to the fullest.

Hearing the exclamation sounds from time to time in the cinema, Zhou Zhen knew that his film was at least more successful in terms of artistic performance.

As for the market's performance, it's up to fate now.

When the scene was gone, countless people watched with enthusiasm and excitement.

Jin Quan patted him on the shoulder with relief. "Little Qi, you did a great job."

For an old-fashioned father, it is already very rare to be able to praise his son in this way.
