In this way, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has been restarted, with almost a third of the team changed. Fortunately, the core staff has not changed, and because many plots have been filmed once before, it is not only very smooth to film them again now, It often triggers new insights, which results in a better quality than the previously shot part——

This is normal.

The longer a movie takes to shoot, the more refined the final product can be. However, this is the truth, but it is not so easy to implement in practice. Not to mention the cost that the crew spends just to operate it every day. The actors may not be happy with their schedules. Who wants to spend more than a year crafting a movie? Wouldn't it be nice for him to get two more movies if he has that time?

Besides, who can guarantee that you will be popular?

What if you put so much effort into this movie and it finally flops? Whose responsibility is it? No matter how long your career is, you can't joke about a few years. Among them, the male actors are okay, and they can play roles regardless of their age. Then, what can actresses do after they have passed their golden age?

So this matter is not easy to deal with.

But a reshoot can make the quality of the movie slightly better, and it is indeed a good compensation for the loss. And compared with the part before the reshoot, the current shooting progress is undoubtedly very fast. According to this rhythm, about In three or four months, the movie will be finished, and the next thing to be busy with is the post-production phase of the movie. This is the highlight of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Now it's 3d plus iax.

The special effects are good enough to attract audiences to the cinema. For this reason, Zhou Xingchi is contacting the top foreign special effects teams. Although they are not as wealthy as the top-level cost comparisons of "Avatar", among all domestic film investments, this film It should be considered second to none!

According to the script.

In fact, the main special effects are worth looking forward to, such as the fish monster causing chaos in the beginning, and the battle of wits and courage with Xuanzang and the villagers in the river. This plot feels a bit like the early "Jaws" with God's lag.

The fear of the unknown in the river.

Therefore, according to Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi's plan, this plot is to highlight a psychological horror. After the psychological fear is brewed enough, the fish demon produced by special effects will officially appear.

The second plot.

That is to say, the plot of Zhu Ganghye also follows the horror route, but it also favors a weird style of painting, because after Zhu Ganghye turns into a human form, his face is glowing with an inexplicable oil, and he is wearing a troupe costume, matching the style of Peking Opera. The overall background sound effect gives people a slightly weird feeling. This kind of design was well received in the previous life, and it is natural to make use of it in this life.

As for the most expensive special effects...

It must be a scene where Sun Wukong and Tathagata fight. Tathagata’s divine palm fights against Sun Wukong who has turned into a violent body. Although he is defeated, the shocking and domineering effect must be sufficient. After all, Sun Wukong is powerful in many people’s established impressions. Synonymous with the battle scenes, the battle scenes must be cool. As for the strongest exorcists killed before the duel with Tathagata, they were actually just to set off the power of Sun Wukong. Otherwise, Sun Wukong was directly abused by Tathagata, which seemed a bit too weak.

…

In the past, Luo Xun was just an actor, and most of the advice he provided to Mr. Xing was as a starring role or as a friend, but this time it was different. Now Luo Xun was an investor in the movie, so when he made suggestions, he was really talking to Zhou Xingchi. Talk from an equal perspective.

The front and back look the same.

In fact, it is still different.

The most obvious difference is that the things the two can discuss have become more in-depth. Before this, Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi discussed more about the performance presentation method. The opinions on the script were still based on Zhou Xingchi's own feelings, but now the two But they each shared half of the idea, and even what the special effects needed to look like were discussed between the two.

in this process.

While Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi were discussing, they also had some quarrels, but the good thing about the two of them was that the content of the quarrels was limited to their opinions on the work and did not involve private friendships. Therefore, the most common thing that happened was that everyone Everyone thought that Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi were about to start a long-term cold war, but as soon as the crew finished work, the two went to drink together.

Quarrel, only at work.

Never take it outside of work.

This made everyone in the crew marvel. After working for many years, they had never seen two such rational people. They really perfectly performed what it means to be right for the situation and not the person, and what is the difference between work and private life.

I slapped the table and blushed at work.

After get off work, we crossed our shoulders and drank wine to talk.

When working again, things started to get serious again, with all kinds of quarrels and dissatisfaction with each other. Fortunately, one of them would eventually convince the other, and there would be no long-term stalemate.

People often say.

Never do business with relatives and friends because it is difficult to distinguish between private life and reality. In the end, it may directly lead to the relationship between relatives and friends becoming more tense than enemies and enemies. But Luo Xun likes to cooperate with friends, and with Xia Yu, With Zhou Xingchi, because he does things in a measured way and believes that his friends are measured people, which is indeed the case.

Zhou Xingchi is a smart person.

He also understood the truth, so his cooperation with Luo Xun and their mode of getting along were very difficult for outsiders to understand, but outsiders did not need to understand. Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi cherished their friendship, so they never mixed friendship into the work, because that was a waste of friendship. It was okay to mix it up in a short time, but the relationship would be tested over a long period of time, and it was likely to end in a bad mood.

The correct approach is...

When the two of them were working, they were clearer than strangers. If it worked, it worked, and if it didn't, it didn't. When it was time to fight, they would not give in, and they would not have the common idea:

Aren't we friends?

This is an idea that normal people would have, but Zhou Xingchi and Luo Xun were obviously not among them. Their working styles were a bit similar, and it was really because Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi were both unkind people during their working period. The collisions between the two of them made the filming of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" go smoothly. This process was a simple process of raising problems and then solving them.

Two lunatics?

From this perspective, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the outside world's statements. After all, it is true that these two people are different from normal people, so much so that the crew began to wonder what the final effect of the movie made by two crazy people would be.
