Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is an almost impossible task to complete a movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan in one month.  Because looking at the entire film history of China and the world, there is no precedent.  The larger the cost of a movie, the longer its promotion period is. One month is not even enough for promotion, let alone to complete the entire process from planning to release.  No investor will make such an attempt because the risk is too high and they may lose everything.  Making a movie in this way may result in the most profitable movie in history.  However, Tang Xiaosheng decided to give it a try because he was not afraid of losing money.  Although Tang Xiaosheng¡¯s current net worth is only about 1.2 billion yuan, and he is not a rich man, he knows that he was originally just a poor boy from a poor mountain village, and he is very content with his wealth today.  He himself is not a person who likes to spend money very much. The money he has earned in the past few years is enough for him to use for several lifetimes.  Now he doesn't care too much whether he makes a few hundred million more or a few hundred million less.  If what he wants is money, with his current ability and influence, making money will be easy.  "What's more, if Zixia can be found as soon as possible, the souls of the other three Tang Xiaosheng can return as soon as possible, and Xiao Longnu, Zhao Min, Ren Yingying, Dongfang Bubai and others can no longer be so entangled, then losing hundreds of millions will not matter.  It is precisely because of this that Tang Xiaosheng decided to spend 600 million yuan for the production of the movie "Journey to the West: Searching for Zixia".  600 million yuan, although it is not the largest investment in the domestic film industry, but since the entire production period of the movie "Journey to the West: Searching for Purple Clouds" is expected to be only 30 days, with an average cost of more than 20 million yuan a day, the money is spent at an absolute speed.  It is the fastest in the global film and television industry.  As the saying goes, money can make the world go round.  The astronomical rate of burning money is not meaningless. In exchange for a strong production team, the result is super high production efficiency.  After the crew was established, in addition to appointing Zhang Zhizong as the chief director of the film, the director team was appointed.  There are also eighteen assistant directors and more than forty assistant directors.  As for the number of production crew, crew, photography crew, art crew, recording crew and post-production personnel, they are at least fifteen times more than the average film crew.  Among them, the total number of members of the film special effects team reached an astonishing 300 people.  At the same time, all the members of the crew are the most professional and top-notch people in the domestic industry. It was Tang Xiao who took advantage of the connections of more than a dozen veteran directors in the Martial Arts Association.  Finally, a super luxurious production team unprecedented in the history of Chinese films was formed.  Only such an almost abnormal giant production team can ensure that the movie "Journey to the West: Searching for Zixia" can successfully complete all production within one month.  Because on average.  The crew must complete at least thirty days' worth of work in one day as an ordinary crew.  While the crew was successfully established, other aspects of work were also progressing very smoothly.  It only took Zhao Min one day to get the approval from the Film Bureau, which meant that the crew could start working the next day.  It only took Xiao Longnv and Wang Yuyan one day to design all the action designs for "Journey to the West", and they were highly recognized by directors Tang Xiaosheng, Zhang Zhizong and 18 assistant directors.  Xiao Zhao also did an excellent job. She spent a day selecting nearly 600 extras from the kung fu school that the crew needed, and got in touch with the crew, and the relevant rehearsals officially started on the same day.  As for Tang Xiaosheng.  His most important task is to solve the problem of selecting actors.  Hu Tianzhuan and Big Big Wolf both have the souls of Tang Xiaosheng in their bodies. Of course they agreed to film "Westward Journey" together without hesitation. Hu Tianzhuan was confirmed to play the role of Tang Monk, while Big Big Wolf played the role of the Bull Demon King.  At the same time, Lin Meimei (Qingxia) also agreed to play the role of Zixia in the play.  After all, Zixia is Qingxia's sister, and Qingxia also wants to find Zixia very much.  So he agreed to participate in the filming of the movie.  Lin Meimei likes Tang Xiaosheng (Zhang Jinling), so she naturally hopes to have more opportunities to get along with Tang Xiaosheng, so she also agrees to the decision to play Zixia.  In addition to Lin Meimei, Bai Xiaoxiao will also play another important female role in "Westward Journey" - the white-bone spirit Bai Jingjing.  In the world of "Westward Journey", Bai Gujing is one of Zixia's apprentices, and also had a relationship with Zhizunbao.  After determining the five main characters: Tang Monk, Bull Demon King, Zixia, White Bone Demon, and Supreme Treasure.  The cast of "Westward Journey" is basically complete.  What is particularly worth mentioning is that the day after he decided to film "Westward Journey", Tang Xiaosheng personally contacted the famous Chinese actor Mr. Stephen Chow.  Stephen Chow is one of the most influential movie stars in the Chinese film industry. He has broken Hong Kong movie box office records 6 times and won 8 annual Hong Kong movie box office championships.Known as the "King of Comedy" in Chinese, he is also the founder of "nonsensical" movies.  And for Tang Xiaosheng.  Stephen Chow is the guiding light of his acting career and his idol.  Eleven years ago, when Tang Xiaosheng came to Jinghua City alone and started to play small roles, the first celebrity poster he put up in his room was Stephen Chow.  Before Stephen Chow became famous, he was just an unknown little bit player, but he always had a dream for his acting career and refused to relax. He kept trying to write scripts, pondering classic films, studying theories intensively, and studying acting skills.  Day after day, year after year, after working harder than anyone else, he finally achieved the legend of this Chinese film superstar.  These experiences of Stephen Chow once gave Tang Xiaosheng great encouragement and made him believe that as long as he works hard enough, there will be rewards.  It is precisely because of this that during Tang Xiaochang's six-year acting career, when he honed his acting skills alone in his room day and night, although his life was miserable, his heart was always full of hope.  Therefore, Tang Xiaosheng has always been grateful to Stephen Chow.  After becoming famous, Tang Xiaosheng had met Stephen Chow in the past few years.  Although there were not many exchanges, the two had many similar ideas, especially in terms of acting and kung fu.  Stephen Chow has admired Bruce Lee since he was a child and is very interested in kung fu. As Tang Xiaosheng is the current domestic kung fu star, he soon chatted with Stephen Chow, and the two had a deep friendship.  However, the main purpose of Tang Xiaosheng's contact with Stephen Chow this time was to discuss the movie "Westward Journey".  Since we are going to film "Westward Journey", we need the corresponding filming copyright.  Although the copyright of "Westward Journey" is not owned by Stephen Chow, Stephen Chow has a close relationship with the copyright owner. It would be easier to obtain the copyright if he was the bridge maker.  "Westward Journey" was to be released in a month, and Tang Xiaosheng had to get the copyright in the shortest possible time, so he had to turn to Stephen Chow for help.  After learning that Tang Xiaosheng was going to remake "Westward Journey", Stephen Chow was very interested, and after reading the script drawn up by Tang Xiaosheng, he was even more looking forward to the movie.  In the ending of Stephen Chow's version of "Westward Journey", Zixia sacrificed herself for the Supreme Treasure.  The regret in this love tragedy has been left to Supreme Treasure, to thousands of movie fans, and to Stephen Chow himself.  In Tang Xiaosheng's new version of "Westward Journey", there is an opposite plot. In order to find Zixia, Zhizunbao sacrifices himself.  Simply put, this is the sequel to "Westward Journey", which will tell the audience what happened after the regrettable love story of Zixia and Zhizunbao.  After seeing the script written by Tang Xiaosheng, Stephen Chow liked it very much and hoped that this movie would be released.  Therefore, Stephen Chow enthusiastically helped contact the Hong Kong company that owned the copyright of "Westward Journey" and made an appointment to discuss copyright matters.  It was with the help of Stephen Chow that the entire negotiation process went very smoothly. Dreamhouse Film and Television Company, represented by Tang Xiaosheng, finally successfully obtained the filming rights for "Westward Journey".  What¡¯s even more gratifying is that Stephen Chow said that if there is no conflict in schedules, he would be very interested in playing the role of ¡°Ancestor Bodhi¡± in ¡°Westward Journey¡±.  If Stephen Chow is willing to join "Westward Journey", it will undoubtedly give this movie another excellent selling point, and Tang Xiaosheng will certainly be eager to do so.  After obtaining the copyright, Tang Xiaosheng held a press conference that day to officially announce the company's plan to film "Westward Journey".  After listening to Tang Xiaosheng's speech, more than a hundred reporters were dumbfounded, thinking that they had heard wrongly.  A huge investment of 600 million yuan, the movie was released within a month, Tang Xiaosheng starred, Zhou Xingchi joined, the most luxurious giant film and television production team in history, Hu Tianzhuan and Tang Xiaosheng starred opposite Any of these factors are enough to become  Breaking news.  But now, Tang Xiaosheng's plan to shoot "Westward Journey" integrates all these factors, and its shocking and explosive degree can be imagined.  Precisely because it sounded like a fantasy, many reporters present thought Tang Xiaosheng was joking at first.  When they learned that all this was true, all the reporters were stunned and could not understand Tang Xiaosheng's plan at all, because no one had ever done this before.  A movie with a huge investment of 600 million, such a big deal, has to be released hastily within a month. This seems to be completely in the direction of losing all the money. It is completely inconsistent with the operating process of the movie. The reporters are completely  I don¡¯t know what Tang Xiaosheng is thinking.  Soon, reporters spread this incredible explosive news. As soon as the news came out, the entire film and television industry exploded.  Most people find it difficult to find a reasonable explanation for Tang Xiaosheng's seemingly crazy behavior.    Among them, psychiatrists from Jinghua Psychiatric Hospital speculated that Tang Xiaosheng was diagnosed with "intermittent psychosis" at the beginning. Could it be that his mental illness relapsed, leading to mental disorder? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out out of nowhere, speculations like this arose one after another, attracting widespread attention from all walks of life. Even after the filming of "Westward Journey" started, it suddenly became the most lively topic.  Seeing all this, Tang Xiaosheng is quite satisfied. What he wants now is this kind of sensational effect, and the movie "Journey to the West: Searching for Zixia" will definitely be recorded in history and passed down to future generations.
