Director’s Legend

Because it is a three-part continuous shooting, the characters in the play are also selected in three films together, and 21 main characters were released in the first batch.

The Yellow Emperor has Xiong Xuanyuan, Yandi Shennong Lieshan, Chiyou, Yinglong, Luozu, Hou Gangjie, Nvba, Xuannv, Feilian, Chisongzi, Momu, Shaodian, Fubao, Qibo, Limu, Fenghou, Da Hong, Chang Xian, Chi Jiangzi, Xing Tian, ​​Kua Fu.

Because in private, Shao Shuaijun has already confirmed to the production team that the actor's salary is not allowed to exceed 5 million yuan for the leading role, not to exceed 2 million yuan for the secondary protagonist, and not to exceed 500,000 yuan for the general supporting role. Shao Shuaijun thought that such a low salary would not attract any stars.

But the response was beyond imagination. A group of Chinese film stars almost rushed to audition, even willing to participate in the film with zero pay. It's not just the second- and third-rate stars who don't plan to ask for money, even the top Chinese stars don't ask for money one by one, as long as they can act.

"Ah Jun, you are so famous now that other people want to participate in your movie. Now, the actor's fee can be saved by half. If the cost is reduced, the movie will be half successful." Wang Wei calculated Considering the cost of using the star lineup, he said cheerfully.

"Who are the people who came to audition for the Yellow Emperor?" Shao Shuaijun asked casually while flipping through a stack of concept drawings of character modeling.

"Let me see, Liu Dehua, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Weijian, Ghee Peng, Chen Xiao..."

"Where is the audition for Emperor Yan?"

"Post Lin, Liang Chaowei, Guo Fucheng, Cheng Long..."

"The one who auditioned for Luo Zu?"

"Liu Shishi, Zhang Jingchu, Gao Yuanyuan..."

"Very good, when I arrange the audition. I have some materials related to the script here, which are some myths and legends recorded in history. You can send a copy to each actor for me. I hope they can study this material carefully , and I'll ask a few background questions about the character."

"OK."

After everything was settled, the audition officially began.

At the Jiahe film and television base in Beijing, Shao Shuaijun, Wang Wei, Cameron and other members of the production team, as well as members of the director team, participated in the details. The first audition is for some minor supporting roles. Before the audition, there will be a special makeup artist. Draw an audition makeup for the actors. For Shao Shuaijun and others' reference, is it suitable for performance.

Acting is one aspect, and image is also one aspect.

Before some actors even started to perform, Shao Shuaijun directly denied it. The script was something he pondered over and over again. Every character image has a steelyard in his heart. Whether it can act or not only needs to take a look. Among the actors who can act, choose those who can act well. After half a month of casting, the main cast was finally determined.

Kuafu. Played by Xie Tingfeng. Xing Tian, ​​played by Wang Xueqi. The Red General, played by Xu Zheng. Chang Xian, played by Lian Weijian. Da Hong, played by Deng Chao. After the wind, played by Zhang Guoli. Hou Gangjie, played by Wen Zhang. Qi Bo, played by Ge You. Red pine nuts, played by Huang Bo. Fei Lian, played by Li Bingbing.

The remaining Huangdi, Yandi, Chiyou, Luozu, Momu, Xuannv, and Yinglong are the main protagonists, and they are still in the process of casting. In the ensuing half-month audition, the candidates for the seven leading actors were finally determined.

The Yellow Emperor is the male protagonist of the Yellow Emperor Trilogy and the only protagonist in the whole story. Liu Dehua has become the actor of the Yellow Emperor by virtue of his handsome appearance, well-honed acting skills, and hard work on the background knowledge of the Yellow Emperor.

Emperor Yan is an important role in the Yellow Emperor Trilogy, the villain boss of the second part of "Yellow Emperor: The Battle of Yanhuang". Brother Cheng Long defeated many opponents by virtue of his strength.

Chi You, who did not appear in the first two parts, was the absolute villain boss in the third part "Yellow Emperor: Dragon Totem". Zhou Runfa won this role by virtue of his strength.

Ying Long, the main assistant of the Yellow Emperor, runs through the trilogy, and the role is very important, and he must be able to play. In the end, the real bullet became a cosplayer with his own ability and understanding of the role.

Luozu, Momu and Xuannv are the three heroines. In Shao Shuaijun's vision, these three heroines, one for each, will die at the end of each to set off the plot. In the end, Liu Shishi got the Luozu, Zhou Xun got the mother, and Liu Yifei got the Xuannv.

By mid-August, all the roles, large and small, were finally settled. It's ready to boot.

The opening ceremony was held in the capital, and the real shooting locations were scattered all over China. Studios have already begun to be established in Shennongjia, Jiuzhaigou, Qinghai Plateau and other places. As an epoch-making film series, Shao Shuaijun hopes that all backgrounds will be shot in real scenes.

The original special effects team of "Inception" will join hands with d2 and ilm to participate in the production of special effects. The original photography team of "Inception" will also cooperate with Huang Yuetai, Lu Le and others.

"I am very excited and excited to be able to participate in Director Shao's Yellow Emperor trilogy. I would like to thank Director Shao, the production team and the director team for entrusting me with the role of Yellow Emperor. For me, playing the role of a Chinese ancestor, There is a lot of pressure, and I hope to put in 100% of my energy to perform Huang Di well." Liu Dehua said excitedly at the opening ceremony.

"This big production of Chinese-language films will comprehensively create stories from ancient myths and legends, and explore the accumulation of China's 5,000-year history and culture. As an actor, it is a very honorable thing to be able to participate in it. About Emperor Yan is also the ancestor of the Chinese. He had a war with the Yellow Emperor, but how to evaluate the historical contribution of Emperor Yan and how to portray the image of a sage is not too much, it is difficult, but it is very challenging." Cheng Long said talk.

As the heroine of the first "Yellow Emperor: The Rise of a Bear", Liu Shishi also said brilliantly: "I have cooperated with Director Shao many times. In the previous cooperation, Director Shao was very peaceful. He occasionally blows wind when filming. In private, we They were very relaxed. This time it was a little different. Director Shao said, "Liu Shishi, you should know that this time the movie is the largest and most important one I have ever made. You have to make sure. Don't hold back, if you think If you can’t successfully play Luo Zu, you should quit immediately. Otherwise, you will meet a devil director.’ I can feel that this shooting will be very hard, but I will work hard to prevent Director Shao from finding fault. "

Shao Shuaijun also said: "I have already said enough about the movie. The script is a wonderful story that combines the contributions of many authors and screenwriters. The four major magic series are the biggest plans I have ever produced. Huang Di San Part 1 is a blockbuster with special effects. The big return on investment is unknown. I hope that all the cast and crew of our crew can put up the most energy, devote themselves to it, and fight hard for two years to complete the creation of the film. "

The filming time of the Yellow Emperor trilogy. It is expected to span two years.

Actor and director group. After talking about feelings, the opening ceremony is over.

Then the crew went deep into the mountains and started filming. And the media. After a wave of hype, the movie gradually faded away.

In the affliction, Huang Di gradually understood his mission, and began to lead the refugees to survive in the troubled times, rebuild the Xiong tribe, and finally divided the world into three parts, with Emperor Yan and Chi You Ding.

In this way, time flies. "Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" ended successfully with a global price of 430 million U.S. dollars.

Four months later, all the scenes of the first film were finally filmed, and the copies were edited into a movie and sent to post-production. Shao Shuaijun continued to film the related plot of the second part.

"The Yellow Emperor: The Battle of Yanhuang" tells the story that the tribe of the Yellow Emperor grew stronger and stronger, and finally the Battle of Banquan broke out. After a arduous battle, the Yellow Emperor defeated Emperor Yan. When everyone wanted to kill Yandi, Huangdi let Yandi go, because Huangdi understood that the real enemy was not Yandi, but Chiyou.

When filming the second part, Shao Shuaijun will be busy, and the promotion work of "The Yellow Emperor: The Rise of the Bear" will also start simultaneously.

The schedule of the film has been arranged. The premiere ceremony will be held successively from May 2014. In June, it will be officially released in overseas small ticket warehouses. It began to be shown in the Mainland. The main actors, as long as there is a gap in filming, will go to various places for publicity.

There are all Chinese stars in the movie, even the supporting roles are also stars, so there is no need to worry about the publicity work not being able to attract people. In Europe and the United States, celebrities with certain influence in the world, such as Cheng Long and Zhen Bullet, are mainly responsible for publicity.

Emperor Yan, played by Cheng Long, sits on a throne built of huge stones, holding a huge whip in his hand, with horns on his head, and looks different from ordinary people's mighty. Looking down from above, Yandi's arrogance is undoubtedly revealed.

"Fubao looks at the stars at night, and the Big Dipper is entangled by lightning!"

Fu Bao, played by Zhang Ziyi, looks up at the starry sky, the starry sky is bright and boundless, the Big Dipper is particularly bright, and lightning wraps around the Big Dipper, vaguely forming a sword.

"This child has a strange sign, and my wife has seen the Big Dipper entangled in electricity. It will become a great tool in the future." Shaodian, played by Li Lianjie, is holding a baby. The baby is plump and cute, but it can be seen that the baby has horn-like protrusions on its head and some scales on its body.

Xuanyuan played by Liu Dehua turned his back to the camera, Luozu played by Liu Shishi asked: "You don't do anything, what do you want to do?"

"I don't know the meaning of my existence."

There were dead bodies on the ground, and Xuanyuan stood alone.

"Would you like to lead us?"

A group of refugees look longingly at the camera.

"where are we going?"

A child, looking up and asking his mother, is in a group of refugees.

"Go where you need to go."

Xuanyuan spoke loudly to a group of refugees.

"Why don't you go!" Ying Long, played by Zhen Bullet, scolded a group of refugees.
