King of Special Effects

"The Peacock Empress" is a fairy tale TV series in ancient costume, starring Yifei and co-produced by Mango TV.

Judging from the current response on the Internet, due to Yifei's previous tax evasion incident, this TV series will take a lot of risks. Perhaps the producers understand this, but if they continue to do so, then They must have their own ideas.

Judging from the currently known TV dramas of the same period, "The World" and "In the Name of the People 2" are absolutely competitive in ratings.

Yi Yang has no time to worry about this aspect now.

After completing the script of "Progress", the focus of Liangyi Media's work turned to the preparation of props for this movie.

Design, customization, and scenery all need to be detailed to any detail.

As the saying goes, details determine success or failure. How well a movie is produced can be seen from these props. It makes sense that it can get high box office and high reputation. There will be no random things in this world.

In the studio of Liangyi Media, there are steel pipe formworks everywhere.

The staff is nervously making the layout of the scene, and Yi Yang also brought all the crew members to the scene to copy.

Tan Xincheng is directing the installation of the hatch of the huge spacecraft at the moment. This thing is left over from "Under the Deep Space", and after a slight change in appearance, it will be used in the filming of "Progressive".

"Brother Yi, these preliminary preparations will take at least two months."

Yi Yang nodded: "In a hurry but not in a hurry, take it step by step, the actor hasn't been found yet!"

Actors are also a brain-intensive problem. There are only so many actors in the country. The actors must be determined according to the roles of the movie, and actors should be selected according to their play.

Yi Yang made a cast list, and then asked Gillian to be in charge of contacting and negotiating.

There are 16 main role actors needed in "Progress", and half of them need foreign actors.

As for the leading role, Yi Yang plans to find Huang Xuan and Duan Yihong this time, as well as the actress Miao Pu.

On the cast list drawn up by Yi Yang, there are Alkaki, Falcon McKay and others.

A big name like Robert couldn't afford it, so Yi Yang could only choose the right one.

Of course, this is just the actors that Yi Yang drafted for the time being. Whether he can cooperate with them will have to be discussed later.

Gillian couldn't handle the matter of finding an actor by herself, and Gong Ying was also asked to contact and negotiate with her abroad, and some domestic actors, Yi Yang, had to negotiate by herself.

Duan Yihong is an old acquaintance. If you want to play a role, you can confirm it after sending out the script and making a phone call. The other is Huang Xuan, who is also a popular and powerful actor. Yi Yang has never cooperated with him, and there is no intersection. .

After learning that he is currently filming in Hengdian, Yi Yang directly took the script and bought a plane ticket.

The goal of "starting filming within this year" is getting closer and closer. Other work is being carried out intensely, and the actors have to be finalized as soon as possible.

Gillian and Yi Yang split into two groups, and Gillian took the two of them to the capital to talk to Miao Pu and the others.

The plane landed at Hangcheng International Airport, in order to save time, Yi Yang rented an SUV directly in Hangzhou and went to Hengdian.

By the time we got to Hengdian, it was already dark.

Contacted by phone, Huang Xuan hadn't finished work on the set yet, so Yi Yang simply found the place where he was filming.

It's in the Qingming Shanghetu Scenic Area. Tickets are not sold here at night, unless they are crew members, or the security guards will stop anyone who goes in casually.

Yi Yang didn't plan to go in either, and just waited by the door while playing with his mobile phone.

Nearly an hour later, Huang Xuan came out of the scenic spot accompanied by his assistant.

He was still wearing an ancient costume and a mask, but Yi Yang recognized him from a distance.

Open the door and walk up to them.

Huang Xuan also saw Yi Yang, hurried up to meet him, shook hands with Yi Yang, smiled and said, "Yi Dao, I finally met a real person today!"

"Hello, brother Xuan!"

"I'm really sorry, today's filming didn't go very well, the crew just finished work, Director Yi, let's find a place to talk!"

Yi Yang nodded: "Okay!"

As for Hengdian, Yi Yang himself has been to Hengdian so many times that he is already familiar with it.

Huang Xuan's assistant went to drive, and Yi Yang also drove the car. After ten minutes' journey, he came to a restaurant in the town.

"Yi Dao, what do you think of this place?"

As long as he can talk about things, Yi Yang really has no habit of being picky about this place.

"Okay, I invite you to dinner!"

Huang Xuan hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, Yi Dao, it's my honor that you came all the way here to find me, I invite you, okay!"

Forehead!

Yi Yang didn't hold back, the three of them went upstairs to order food, and Yi Yang also handed over the script to Huang Xuan.

"A sci-fi movie, you play a character who is an astronaut, responsible for overhauling special equipment, and one of the leading actors."

Huang Xuan flipped through the outline of the script and read it carefully.

Going on to read, although the script is not very thick, it still takes time to read it. In order to save time, Huang Xuan just chooses places with his own role to read.

Soon, the food came out. Yi Yang was also hungry all day, so he was polite and started to eat with chopsticks.

Huang Xuan ate while watching. After a meal, he closed the script.

"Director Yi, to be honest, I really wanted to try this sci-fi movie, but I never had the chance. I also really want to take this role, but I have to ask the company and agent for advice."

Yi Yang nodded: "Of course!"

"Then Yi Dao, can I get back to you in a few days?"

Yi Yang thought for a while: "I need an exact time, because the time for this movie is very tight, we plan to start filming before the end of the year, if it's not convenient for you, we have to find someone else."

At this time, Huang Xuan's assistant said, "Director Yi, can I ask about the salary of this character?"

"Our budget for this role is no more than 600,000!" Yi Yang said directly.

Six hundred thousand?

Yi Yang has been making movies for many years, and he is also famous now.

Huang Xuan has also heard that Yi Yang's movies do not pay the actors very high salaries, and the scenes of this character just now were not particularly difficult, and they were all shot indoors, so there is no need to worry about the wind and rain.

Huang Xuan discussed with his assistant in a low voice, and then said to Yi Yang: "Yi Dao, how about it, we will give you an accurate answer within three days."

"good!"

"Then I will take this script with me?"

Yi Yang smiled: "Of course, but I need a confidentiality agreement."

Huang Xuan signed the confidentiality agreement, and after chatting with Yi Yang about some details, he said goodbye and left.

In Hengdian, when he was free at night, Yi Yang just drove around for a drive.

This is the largest film and television base in the country, and it is normal for a crew to be filming at one or two o'clock at night.

Just on the side of the road, Yi Yang met a TV crew who were still rushing to shoot night scenes in the middle of the night.

At the same time, Yi Yang also saw a familiar figure in the crew——Zhao Yinger!

Yi Yang was taken aback, parked the car in the parking space on the side of the road, and walked towards the crew.
