In order to find actors, Bai Yi went to Hong Kong City.
This was because none of the actors were suitable to be the three masters of Zhulong Village.
Hong Kong's movies were developing very well in martial arts, so there were more suitable people there.
The first one.
Bai Yi paid a visit to Huang Feihong's grand-disciple, Zhao Ling, who was Lin Shirong's disciple.
He had played a supporting role in other movies before, but it wasn't that eye-catching. Bai Yi felt that he was very suitable for the role of the tailor in the movie.
Zhao Ling was extremely curious when he personally paid a visit.
As a martial arts actor, he knew Bai Yi.
However, he didn't expect Bai Yi to come all the way to Hong Kong just for a supporting role.
"Mr. Zhao, I have a role here. The ultimate skill is the Hong Family's Iron Thread Fist. You're very suitable for it.”
Bai Yi listed generous conditions.
At the very least, Zhao Ling would not be able to obtain this condition under other directors.
But what moved Zhao Ling was the script.
In the script, the three masters of Zhulong Village were the embodiment of chivalry.
Everyone who knew kung fu yearned to become a hero!
This was Bai Yi's reputation.
He had just won two awards at the Golden Academy Awards, which showed that Bai Yi's directing ability was very strong. He believed in Bai Yi's directing ability.
The second one was the fried ghost.
In the movie, there was a person who bought youtiao, Dong Zhi, Wulang Bagua Stick.
This required a person who majored in martial arts performance. Dong Zhi was this person. He was a martial arts director himself, but he was not very famous.
Basically, a name was displayed in the credits of the movie crew.
In order to take down Dong Zhi, Bai Yi even sparred with him.
Because Bai Yi also had the ability to be a martial arts director, Dong Zhi was very surprised.
If a director had such a good foundation in martial arts, would his martial arts movies be better?
Therefore, he chose to accept it.
The remaining person, Ku Liqiang, was the only young actor among the three. He often acted in fighting scenes in Hong Kong movies, so it was not difficult to contact him.
After explaining his purpose of coming, Xing Yu quickly agreed.
Because he didn't have any other movies to act in right now.
He also heard that Bai Yi had visited a professional martial arts actor in order to hire a professional actor.
Just based on this seriousness, he believed that this director could make a good movie!
He had dealt with the three experts of Zhulong Village.
There were two more people.
The two experts on the kill list.
The sky is broken, and the earth is broken.
In Bai Yi's imagination, these two blind experts were playing a zither and killing people with the zither.
However, it was not easy to find an actor who could play the piano, so he still asked Zhang Yimou for help.
In the end, they finally found two old artists who graduated from Shaanxi Peking opera theater to act in the movie.
They were not only actors, but also artists.
She could completely play the role that Bai Yi wanted.
Due to the huge commotion caused by the recruitment, the reporters outside knew about it and began to report it.
The public knew about this.
Many people did not understand.
"What is Director Bai thinking? The supporting role was used so carefully and seriously, but the main character was a walk-on?”
"This extra must have a lot to do with Bai Yi! Could it be his relative?"
"That's very possible! Otherwise, why would he support a minor character?”
"Is there a need to be so serious about finding a supporting role? They didn't have many scenes, so it was better to put the manager in the movie!”
"By the way, aren't there many actors who want to audition for Director Bai's production team? Why did Director Bai have to personally invite actors? Why are you so shameless?"
"Are you kidding me? Why did they hire a few old artists to film a movie? Let an old artist act in a movie?"
"Director Bai's actions are really too impressive! I feel that this will be a very good movie.”
The public was discussing it on the Internet.
In fact, there were quite a few actors who applied for auditions. Some of the actors were chosen through auditions. When Bai Yi found these supporting roles, they needed to have a certain foundation, so they had to be treated with caution.
Bai Yi was unmoved by the comments on the Internet. He contacted everyone and headed to Shanghai's Chedun Film and Television Base.
Hengdian was not the only film and television base in Beijing.
There were a total of ten film and television bases.
Chedun Film and Television Base was one of them.
This place had the city customs of the old Shanghai, and many of the old Shanghai's shows were filmed here.
Before all the actors arrived, Bai Yi started to discuss the funding with Lin Qi and the company's staff.
"The entire movie requires more than 100 special effects shots, and we also need to build a building as a pig cage city, so I estimate that the movie will cost 200 million.”
Bai Yi said.
The crew was shocked.
The filming of this movie had not even started yet, but Lin You had already calculated the special effects shots needed. This was too amazing!
And he even wanted to build a building?
We're filming a movie, not a real estate developer. Why do we have to build a building!
However, Bai Yi was a man of his word in the production team.
" Alright," Lin Qi nodded." I'll get the finance department to prepare the money."”
The company still had 300 million yuan of funds to use.
Therefore, they no longer needed to invest.
Just as the production team was about to start filming.
Ji Yang called.
"Brother, don't you need money to make a movie? Why didn't you call me? Do you not treat me as your brother?" Ji Yang said.
In fact, a popular rule in the industry was that the director or producer would take the investment and everyone would share the risk.
If the box office sales failed, it wouldn't be a huge loss.
Some movies might have a few investors.
"Brother Yang, I still have some money on hand from my salary. I don't need investors for the time being."”
Bai Yi knew very well that if there were investors involved, then his right to film the movie would be very small.
If the investor brought the actor he wanted to hire.
You are using.
Or not?
Actors don't have acting skills and will only lower the standard of the movie.
There was no need to. He was a sugar daddy. He did not give him face.
Bai Yi was confident that the box office sales would not fall, and he had money on hand, so he naturally did not need to use investors.
Ji Yang was depressed.
He wanted to send money, but he couldn't!
He had worked with Bai Yi once before and knew that Bai Yi's movies were of high quality and could definitely make money.
But he didn't play according to the rules!
Filming a movie doesn't attract investors!
He was probably the only director in the industry who did this!
What do you want us professional film investors to do!
