Chapter 261 The Actors Are In Place
While looking for actors, Xu Muge also asked the crew to build the set according to his requirements.
In the movie Pig Cage Walled City, it is difficult to find a very similar place in reality.
So Xu Muge decided to build one. After all, this is the main shooting scene and it will be used many times.
The whole building looks huge and the amount of work is huge.
But in fact, there are not many places for shooting, there are only a few rooms on the first floor, other rooms are completely useless, and it is enough to have a look.
Therefore, building such a simple shooting venue is not as laborious as imagined.
But it costs a lot.
For this movie, Xu Muge's budget in terms of film production cost is 30 million, which can be spent with confidence.
As far as actors' remuneration is concerned, actors from all walks of life are eager to participate in Xu Muge's films, so the actors selected by Xu Muge don't ask for their remuneration, and let him see them.
Xu Muge is not polite to them either, giving an average market price based on their fame and role.
All actors' remuneration plus one, not much.
After all, the male protagonist is himself, and the female protagonist Liang Ruixue is free of charge, although the coffee spot is big enough.
This movie Xu Muge saves money as always, investing 70 to 80 million will definitely be able to complete the filming.
If it wasn't to build such a studio and there were a lot of special effects shots, it is estimated that around 30 million would be enough.
Most of the actors are already in place, and the three master actors in the play are a little slow to find.
Hongjia Iron Wire Fist, Golang Bagua Stick, Twelve Road Tan Legs.
Actors must practice family, especially the latter two, only in this way can the effect that Xu Muge want can be achieved.
The studio person in charge of finding the actors contacted Xu Muge.
"Mr. Xu, I found an actor who has good muscles in his legs. His name is Shi Yuxing. He is a trainer. He has been a stand-in in martial arts for a few years, but he has become obsessed with martial arts in recent years and has given up."
"Originally, he directly refused to appear in any movie, but after learning that it was your movie, he had a small request, as long as he met, he could act with zero pay."
Xu Muge raised his brows, "What request?"
"He may have a certain understanding of you and know that you can also kung fu, so he wants to learn from you."
Xu Muge was stunned, it turned out to be such a request.
It's too simple to want to be abused, just since Bajiquan rose to the god level, he hasn't touched anyone.
"Where is he now?"
"A martial arts hall in the magic capital."
Xu Muge and the company's people found the martial arts gym where Shi Yuxing was located.
After seeing him in person, Xu Muge was satisfied.
Although the appearance is completely different from the actors in the original work, but the body and temperament are very similar, the people from the company are quite reliable in finding actors according to Xu Muge's requirements.
Shi Yuxing stepped forward and shook hands with Xu Muge.
"Hello Mr. Xu, I have long admired my name and wanted to discuss with you for a long time, but there is no way to contact you."
Xu Muge nodded slightly, not wanting to waste time, "Here or somewhere else?"
"Just here."
Shi Yuxing took them to a ring in the martial arts hall. This was the kind of ring for Sanda, and there were many students training around.
After learning about Shi Yuxing and Xu Muge's discussion, all the people who could come to the martial arts hall gathered around.
"What's the matter? What are you doing here?"
"Boss Shi wants to solo with someone."
"Yo, who is so bold!?"
"It's not from the martial arts hall, it seems to be a director named Xu Muge."
"Wocao! So it was him! I even went to the scene to see him and the master of Taekwondo, and he was really amazing."
"Some have seen it."
Shi Yuxing put on protective gear and gloves, but Xu Muge was still wearing nothing.
However, in order to protect the other party, he still wore gloves.
In case he was injured, it would affect the filming.
When they were ready, they jumped into the ring.
"Please."
Shi Yuxing clasped his fists.
"Please."
There are professional judges on the side.
After the start, none of them rushed to attack.
Shi Yuxing wanted to observe his opponents and look for opportunities. Xu Muge was completely afraid that he would have no experience if he took the initiative, and he wanted to see how his strength was.
After four or five laps face to face in the ring.
Shi Yuxing took the initiative to attack and smashed his fist.
His punching speed is very fast, not much worse than that of a professional fighter.
Xu Muge raised his hand to block it easily, and swept his legs, too fast, Shi Yuxing couldn't dodge and fell to the ground.
Xu Muge did not pursue either, sighing inwardly.
"Looks like you need to put some water in."
After Shi Yuxing stood up, he stared at Xu Muge with a very serious expression.
"Don't let me, go all out, I want to see the gap between me and the masters."
"sure?"
"Um!"
Shi Yuxing nodded vigorously.
then.
Xu Muge feigned a punch, and took the opportunity to hit his chin with a punch, and he fell to the ground and fainted, finishing the ko.
Immediately, everyone was shocked.
"Wocao! What's the matter, I bowed my head, why did it end suddenly?"
"What a quick punch!"
"This is the real master!"
"Is Boss Shi okay?"
If a person's jaw is hit hard, it is easy to faint.
The doctor from the martial arts hall came over to check, and after confirming that there was no problem, everyone was relieved.
Shi Yuxing woke up after a while, except for the pain in his jaw, there was nothing serious.
He bowed his hands to Xu Muge.
"Mr. Xu is amazing, I'll take it."
Xu Muge smiled.
Another prostitute for an actor.
It's a pity that he was too lazy to let Xu Muge play for a while.
But now it's really hard to find someone who can fight Xu Muge back and forth.
If there are a dozen people beating around, that's fine.
Those black fans who were not used to Xu Muge thought about beating Xu Muge violently.
In fact, Xu Muge has been waiting for such a logical opportunity.
After chatting briefly with him again, the filming time was confirmed, and everyone in Xu Muge left.
The cast of Twelve Road Tan legs was confirmed, and the studio notified other actors to prepare to start filming.
Just happened to be this time.
The release of Xu Muge's last movie Chainsaw has ended, and the cumulative box office has come out.
A staggering $530 million.
This box office shocked people inside and outside the country.
You must know that this is a low-cost thriller and suspense film with a cost of only three million dollars. There are no big scenes, no well-known actors, and niche themes.
It is such a movie, but it can get such a high box office, I can only sigh the strength of the director and screenwriter.
At the same time, Xu Muge set a new record.
This time, it is not the overseas box office of Chinese-language films, but the overseas box office record of Chinese directors.
The former is filmed domestically and released abroad.
The latter is to go abroad to shoot and show abroad.
There are still some differences.
The former shows that the film is of good quality and has a wide audience, while the latter shows that Xu Muge has outstanding abilities and is recognized by film and television giants.
If he develops abroad, it is also bright.
