Since 2013, After directing his debut film "Zombie", after the director's talent was highly recognized, he began filming another big production "Wind Forest Volcano" 3 years ago, and the emperor of the film and a number of heavyweight actors including Jin Chengwu, Gu Tianle, Liang Jiahui, Liu Qingyun and Gao Yuanyuan performed, when the film announced that filming had made many fans wait.
However, since the film was announced in March 2018, the film has been released indefinitely for more than two years, and the Hong Kong media recently received news that the film was originally overspended from 200 million to 400 million Hong Kong dollars, and several companies invested in Jinhong, Shaw, Yindu, Erdong and Jiaying refused to continue, and even Mai Junlong's rich father had to stop investing money, so that post-production stopped because of financial problems.
In addition to the overrun, "The Wind" also reported problems such as actor dissatisfaction, and Ren Xianqi, who participated in the performance, filmed for several months, and after a big quarrel with Mai Junlong at the shooting scene, he broke up unhappily.
According to insiders, Xiao Qi is actually famous for his good temper and is very accommodating, but he also got angry this time, because the director asked the actors to shoot some unreasonable shots, or some actors could not accept the dialogue, because the director insisted, so that the actors often argued with the director on the spot.
Once filming a hanging Wea scene, Xiao Qi also reminded early in the morning that the camera would not have the effect required by the director, and as a result, Xiao Qi shot a hand strain, and unfortunately was said by Xiao Qi, unable to shoot the feeling that the director wanted, and finally got Xiao Qi angry on the spot, and the on-site staff was also frightened, because no one had ever seen Mr. Xiao Qi so angry, because the contract period expired at that time, so Xiao Qi did not shoot again.
In this regard, the Hong Kong media asked Xiao Qi manager Ke Shangmin for verification, he said: "This matter has been a long time, I don't remember, let him go."
In fact, this drama is not much when filming, it is said that the director always hides in the tent at the shooting scene, and many actors wait for most of the day without turning on.
Mai Junlong rarely communicates directly with the actors, this move has caused some actors to be dissatisfied, Leung Ka Fai and Jin Chengwu have differences with him for the sake of shooting problems, making the atmosphere of the scene very stiff, Jin Chengwu is also a flash when the contract expires, and later Mai Junlong wants to invite him to return to Hong Kong to make up for the play, and he also refuses with no schedule.
For the rumors of discord between the actor and the director, the supervising producer Xuan Jiazhen did not directly deny it, only said: "The director is very talented, the requirements are so high, and the pursuit of perfection, many times the shooting will be very insistent, so naturally there will be differences with the actors, Mai Junlong has always made too many films, not enough experience, it is necessary to accumulate experience."
For the film's overrun, Xuan Jiazhen denied: "This play is still continuing to be done in the later stages, it has not stopped, but it is too complicated, it takes time to complete, and the funds are no problem." This movie is really overspended, now the total cost is about 400 million, the director's requirements are so high, everything is well watched, so it takes more time to do it in the later stage, and this play will not be able to meet everyone next year at the earliest."
