After the trial of "Let the Bullets Fly", Li Fengkuan seemed to be unsatisfied. This time he wanted to really make a large-scale war film. This theme was marketized by mainland films, and no one tried it. Everyone was excited to guess what war Li Fengkuan was going to shoot.

Think about it, if there are large-scale blasting scenes, it is probably not the era of cold weapons. It seems that only the late Qing Dynasty and the War of Resistance Against Japan were in the process of Li Xiaole's tradition of never designing costume dramas, and the theme of the War of Resistance Against Japan is extremely likely. Netizens on Tianya website are enthusiastically speculating about what Li Fengkuan's movie will be filmed this time, is it a classic such as "Let the Bullets Fly 2", or a remake of "Tunnel War" and "Mine War"?

On the other hand, hundreds of film production companies in China, large and small, were recruited by Li Fengkuan for the first time, which made the crowd excited. You should know that this is the Black Pearl Company, which has become one of the four major films in China. In the first public recruitment process in China, whether it is the students of the Film and Television Academy or the old birds who have been in the industry for many years, they all submitted their resumes to Black Pearl Company with uneasiness and expectation, wanting to try their luck.

In just three days, Li Fengmao's influence in the Chinese area, coupled with the powerful trick of using "Transformers" as bait, Black Pearl Company's email received thousands of bid letters...

Li Xiaole and Lei Ting selected all the applicants' information. The most successful result was that in the martial arts industry, the company quickly selected a team led by Chen Jie. The reason was very simple. Chen Jie was very famous in the circle, not only because he was experienced, but more importantly, he was from an elevator project and was very unique in the installation of various clues and steel wires. He was also very good at engineering blasting, which was very in line with the crew's requirements this time.

After all, Li Xiaole has been a stand-in for so many years, and he still has great experience in these stunts. He has the ability to coordinate technically and needs real skilled martial arts guidance.

The special effects makeup group and CG have a big problem. First of all, it can be confirmed that the crew cannot afford the first-class teams in Europe and the United States. Their price is too high. Even the cheapest Australian team will have to spend millions of yuan on a business trip in China for half a year. Not to mention that the props they use have strict requirements on the venue.

What makes people even more helpless is that several special effects production companies in the United States have millions of dollars as soon as they open their mouths. The famous kerneloptical team said that if they want to travel to China for half a year, the lowest price is 7 million US dollars, and the CG production has to be calculated separately. Li Xiaole almost couldn't breathe. No wonder this kerneloptical will close in 11 years.

On the other hand, although the domestic group is cheap and only costs 1.25 million at most, it is obviously technically unable to meet the requirements of "Sedek Barre". In the end, Li Xiaole screened some Asian special effects companies with experience and sufficient capabilities, and selected a Korean production team from the dwarf.

Of course this is just a temporary measure. In terms of CG production, Black Pearl must be based on its own team, so Li Xiaole has already made a request to Lei Ting:

"You have to learn how they make CG in movie shooting. I believe that those image software programs are not a problem for you. At the same time, you have to look for a group of young Chinese designers who are talented in CG processing on the Internet. We need to train our own teams, and now we will learn from Korean companies first."

Lei Ting's talent for digital images was unattainable. She used her connections on the Internet to find a 27-year-old designer named Wu Wei. Then, she recruited some young CG designers with Wu Wei as the backbone. In just one week, the CG team of Black Pearl Company had begun to take shape. The name of Li Xiaole gave this team is also very interesting, called "Hei Fan".

Now this "black sail" is just being produced. When this "black sail" unfolds, the speed of Black Pearl Company's sailing through the wind and waves will be greatly improved.

The most critical department special effects makeup group is meaningless just looking at the works. Li Xiaole can only take a stupid approach. He conducted a realistic interview on the second studio. He even gave interviewers who were on business trips abroad for half a year and signed an agreement, and took a plane to pick up and drop off, and competed with his domestic colleagues to select the best.

This competition has attracted great attention in the industry. There are more than 70 special effects makeup artists participating in the competition, including people from the United States, Canada and Australia. In the eyes of many people, this competition is expensive and even a bit wasteful. But from Li Xiaole's perspective, it is worth finding a core makeup team that suits him.

The question Li Xiaole gave is very simple. Within three days, anyone can use the materials from the special effects base of China Film Group to create a simulated character model.

This is the way he watched a show "Special Effect Makeup Artist Showdown". In a short period of time, limited material themes can quickly see the depth of this person's special effect makeup skills. In these three days, he will completely include modeling, sculpture, color patterns, spray gun coloring, character design and other details.

Many people bring the model to make it, no matter how good it is, it is useless. Maybe it took him half a year to make one, combining efficiency and quality required in the movie.

The final interview result was expected. Lanny Wisemore from Los Angeles was favored by Li Xiaole. This brown-haired white female designer is only 24 years old. Her face is very small and cute. She is as thin as a paper man. She is wearing a colorful cloth piece spliced ​​outfit and puts various decorations on her body. Her hair is also curled into weird braids like a ghost baby, looking like a bad girl who likes weird styles.

But within three days, she made a model dummy that was almost exactly the same as Li Xiaole herself, and cut off the head of "Li Xiaole" in front of everyone in the interview, which scared everyone. Those bloody interfaces made people frightened and showed the perfect craftsmanship in details.

Looking at her information, Lanny Wisemore is a member of the famous legendary family in the American makeup industry, the Wisemore family. However, his father, Michael Wisemore, is the most famous makeup artist in the family. However, this father divorced his mother who raised her very early, and the two were in a state of being enemies after breaking up.

She started doing makeup at the age of 17, working for a family haunted house. She also worked in the morgue. She was hired by Magee-FX at the age of 19, located in Sun Valley, California. She worked on creating aliens, carnivores, werewolfs, horror characters and various film projects as big as a live-action, and is currently a freelance makeup artist.

What is the reason for coming here for the interview... "Because I am a crazy fan of H and am fascinated by Happy Li's handsome appearance, I hope to work with him."

Li Xiaole couldn't help but feel amused and laughed, okay, this is a talented female designer, but obviously a weirdo, but most of the talented people are perverts, it's her, Lanny Wisemore, as the new crew member of the Black Pearl.

After a lot of effort, three groups were finally formed and the model scene was constructed with Xu Zhen, Li Xiaole and Han Sanpin applied for the project requirements for filming co-production.

The investment of "Seedek Barre" is still based on the responsibility system of the factory manager. As for the investment, although the 180 million requested by "Seedek Barre" this time, it did not arouse many oppositions.

No one has any opinions on the subject matter. Since Li Xiaole can make "Let the Bullets Fly" box office exceed 700 million, why can't he make a 180 million movie?

At most, everyone just whispered in private: "Director Li was too risky this time? Although it was a story about the anti-Japanese war, he filmed the indigenous people of Taiwan. Is anyone watching it? The audience is not familiar with these characters."

"Who knows what he thinks? Anyway, their second studio has a way of marketing. It's hard to say that this movie will not sell well..."

"Well, the most important thing is how the cast is. As long as there are good actors, no matter how bad the subject matter is, it won't be a big problem."

Everyone knows it well that although the subject matter is not very optimistic, the script is still good after all. As long as a group of big-name actors are gathered in the name of Li Xiaole, it is not a big problem to recover the cost of this movie. After all, the ripple effect of "If You Are the One" and "Let the Bullets Fly" last year will continue to ferment.

The actor is indeed the part that Li Xiaole is currently worried about.

After the news that "Sedek Barre" was launched, although the outline of the script had not been made public, Li Xiaole received hundreds of recommendation letters from actor agency companies in the entire Chinese area. Each agent tried his best to promote his own actors. Not only those unknown young actors, but also many top actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait who had no film appointments hoped to star in this movie.

Chen Daoming, Wang Zhiwen, Sun Honglei, Huang Qiusheng, Huang Rihua, Liu Dekai, and even Zhou Runfa all expressed their willingness to have schedules and be summoned by Li Xiaole at any time, not to mention new generation actors such as Zhou Xun, Lin Jiaxin, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Lu Yi, and Lin Feng.

If it were any other movie, this situation would have made Li Xiaole excited, but this time, he could not use these people because this movie carries the soul of the Seedk tribe, and he wants to keep it authentic as much as possible. He decided that like the original version, most actors use Taiwanese aboriginals instead of professional actors.

After the trial of "Let the Bullets Fly", Li Fengkuan seemed to be unsatisfied. This time he wanted to really make a large-scale war film. This theme was marketized by mainland films, and no one tried it. Everyone was excited to guess what war Li Fengkuan was going to shoot.
