Chapter 679: Study Guide
"Ah Xin, congratulations!"
As soon as they met, Xu Lao Wei smiled and said hello to him.
"Director Xu, you're welcome, I didn't win the award. He Xin said with a smile.
He actually saw some envy in Old Monster Xu's eyes, which made him a little surprised. In the Chinese film industry, Xu Ke's name is enough to make people look sideways, but as a commercial film director, he has always been in the circle of Chinese films. He has won either the Golden Horse or the Golden Statue, but has never been recognized by an international film festival.
People are all the same, and they all want to be recognized by awards after they are famous and profitable. You don't see the traffic of the little fresh meat and flowers in later generations, who are often explosive in their acting skills, plastic surgery acting skills or something, desperately marketing their acting skills, and they are all trying to become people's artists.
Obviously, Xu Laowei was no exception, but the look of envy only flashed in his eyes, and then he began to talk about the topic: "When will Miss Cheng be in place?"
The original plan was to participate in the Tokyo Film Festival and run a roadshow in Beijing and Shanghai in two days, but after winning the actress, many activities could not be shirked, in addition to planning for the future career, there are many human factors in it.
He Xin could only apologize: "It will be around the sixth of next month at the earliest." ”
"Six, it shouldn't be a big problem to run in. Old Monster Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
Hong Kong filmmakers who have experienced the golden age of Hong Kong films are still more reasonable about the issue of actors' schedules, after all, there were so many big stars back then, dozens of dramas were waiting to be filmed, and rolling scenes were commonplace, and even the scripts were created on the spot.
"Oh, that drone is really good, the picture is stable, it's not worse than Hollywood stunt shooting, and the key is that it's as simple as a toy. Ah Hui was dumbfounded when he came over for the first time, he didn't expect that the mainland could make such a magical drone. Old Monster Xu leaned comfortably on the sofa, holding a cigar, and smiled.
"Ah Hui also wants to order two of these drones, can you help urge Mr. Wang's side to ship quickly, there are two dramas in Hong Kong waiting to be used." Old Monster Xu said again.
"No problem, I'll call him when I get back. ”
It's great to have business coming to your door.
200,000 UAVs are definitely a conscientious price for photographic equipment that often costs tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of lenses, and millions of machines.
The drone may be a big toy in the eyes of Xu Laowei, but Yu Dong may sound like a business. He asked tentatively: "Ah Xin, this kind of drone can be mass-produced and brought to the market, doesn't that Boss Wang have any ideas?"
The subtext behind me is probably that if he has no money, he can invest.
He Xin glanced at him, shook his head and said, "At present, this is only an experimental product. Speaking of this aerial photography, I had no way to find him at the beginning, it was purely to catch ducks on the shelves, which was just a small function of the drone. In addition, the flight control system he developed has many imperfections, and it cannot be mass-produced as a product for the time being. ”
"That's right. I have also consulted with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology about this drone, although we call it a drone, but the real scientific name should be called an aerial robot. The most important thing is this flight control system, or computer software, which is leading in the world. That Mr. Wang is very famous at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and he is definitely a wizard in the field of aerial robotics. I didn't expect Ah Xin to have a relationship with him and be able to temporarily help change to a drone specifically used for aerial photography. Easy to use!Save money!"
Xu Laowei is also knowledgeable, followed by an explanation, and gave a thumbs up at the end.
"That ......"
Yu Dong wanted to speak and stopped.
He just sees the immediate benefits and wants to invest. But he also inquired privately that such high-tech things are in many cases a bottomless pit, and often there are great risks.
Think about it or forget it.
......
The next day, in the morning.
After the renovation of Xinhao Media, the upstairs and downstairs are very large. On the first floor, there is a multi-functional hall of nearly 100 square meters, which can be used as a screening room, a conference room, a rehearsal hall and a reception room.
For the first time, the creators of "The Wind" gathered together.
Xiaodouding, Yu Dong, and Shi Nansheng are all producers, Xu Laowei is the producer and director, and the director is Uncle Gao Qun.
The entire behind-the-scenes production team is basically composed of a mixture of Hong Kong and the mainland, such as photographer Ah Hui Cai Chonghui, art director Huang Canon, and lighting Cai Lixiong are all old members of Xu Ke, who have worked with He Xindu in the crew of "Seven Swords", and they are all old acquaintances. Including the styling design, Tim Yip is also from Hong Kong, and the others are from the mainland. With Hong Kong filmmakers heading north, this kind of collaboration is now commonplace.
In terms of actors, Gu Xiaomeng: Cheng Hao, originally Cheng Hao seemed a little far-fetched, but the new Tokyo actress was enough to be logical all of a sudden. It's just that this Tokyo actress is busy with mundane affairs and didn't attend today, but as her boss's wife, no one can say anything.
Li Ningyu: Li Bailian, Wu Brigade: Hu Jun, Takeda: He Xin, Wang Tianxiang: Wang Zhiwen, Jin Shenghuo: Yingda, Bai Xiaonian: Wang Kai, including Zhang Yi, who played the cleaner who didn't have many scenes, also came over to join in the fun.
The sixth master is still Mr. Wu Gang, but at this time he is busy filming the main theme movie "Iron Man" directed by Yin Li in the Northeast, and the commander is also the original Shi Chaoqi, and he has an old friendship with Lao Gao.
Except for Wang Kai and Zhang Yi, who are all newcomers, the others are all old acquaintances, and there is a burst of greetings. Especially Wang Zhiwen and Li Bailian, who once played a father and daughter in the TV series "No Regrets Tracking", it has been fifteen years, and it is inevitable that they will be a little embarrassed to cooperate again.
In order to keep it secret, most people have not read the full script, but only gave a short biography of the characters.
For example, the description in Gu Xiaomeng's original book, everyone is beautiful, young and beautiful. In the original movie, because of Zhou Xun's appearance, some changes were made to fit her eccentric temperament.
Now that it has been replaced by Cheng Hao, it is naturally sexy and charming, arrogant and flamboyant.
Gu Xiaomeng's character biography is roughly from a wealthy family, his family background is very hard, he worked as a minister under Xu Shichang in his early years, and later did business. There are many examples in history of this kind of revolution failing and industry saving the country, and the most important thing is that her father and Wang Zhaoming are brothers, which has created her arrogant and arrogant, and even a little dissolute. But in fact, she is a brave, strategic, and faithful revolutionary lurking in the headquarters.
Li Ningyu, born in a scholarly family, is handsome, self-contained and calm, used to be a top student in the Department of Astrophysics of the University of Pennsylvania, and studied in the communication class of Qingdao Ocean University. She is the chief of the translation and telecommunications section of the Military Aircraft Department of the Puppet Army Headquarters, a Kochi talent of that era, proud and reserved in her heart, but very conservative emotionally, and has a deep love for her lover Liu Linzong.
Wu Zhiguo was not portrayed enough in the original version, and it seemed very simple, but this time the script appropriately added a part of his background.
Born in the Fulanwang clan, his ancestors were generals of the Hunan army. When he was young, he studied in Germany and received a Hitler-style military education. The elder brother joined the Communist Party in his early years, and was brutally killed by the Guo Party during the Qing Dynasty, while his father was killed in the Red Army fighting local tyrants. It can be said that his feelings for both the CPR and the CPR are very subtle.
And he himself was repeatedly excluded in the Guodang army, framed by villains, and went to Mr. Wang in a fit of anger to save the country. He had made many military exploits in Qingxiang, and he looked down on the Japanese, but he was loyal to Mr. Wang, and on the surface he was the most unlikely one.
Jin Shenghuo, director of the Military Aircraft Division, is said to be a relative of the commander and went up by nepotism. He is a timid person and has no skills, but he is a reader, a master of calligraphy, and can imitate other people's notes. and Wang Tianxiang, the director of the puppet army's secret service, did not deal with it.
Bai Xiaonian is a simple and complex character, a famous Kunqu opera singer with an innocent personality, but in order to protect himself in troubled times, he had to commit himself to the commander. As a result, his personality is a bit extreme, fantasizing that he is innocent, but in reality he is despised by the people around him.
He was introduced to the commander by Kim Sung-huo. Jin Shenghuo, as an old-school scholar, is also a good south wind, he was once fascinated by Bai Xiaonian on the stage, and he couldn't pursue it, so he introduced him to the commander out of the dual psychology of revenge and flattery. Therefore, Bai Xiaonian has a special grudge against Jin Shenghuo.
There is a passion scene between Bai Xiaonian and Jin Shenghuo in the original version, which may be too spicy and was deleted.
Wang Tianxiang, a traitor to Zhongtong. Cunning and ruthless, he knew that he had no way out, so he followed the Japanese wholeheartedly.
His family is poor, and it may be precisely because of this shabby family background that he has a crush on Gu Xiaomeng, who is both sexy and beautiful, and is from a wealthy family.
In contrast, the character of Takeda played by He Xin is the simplest, born in a samurai family, but he was ridiculed by his colleagues because of the cowardice of his ancestors, with low self-esteem and self-esteem, because he hoped that his colleagues would be transferred back to China. In order to save his career, in order to wash away the shame of his ancestors, and to revive the prestige of his family, he insists on finding the spy hidden in the headquarters.
Today, when everyone got together for the first time, they didn't read the script as soon as they came up, but by letting everyone talk freely, they understood the context of their respective characters, characters and the relationships between them.
Wang Zhiwen, Yingda, and Hu Jun are all old actors, and they all have a lot of ideas about the characters they want to play, such as Yingda designed himself to wear a pair of glasses, and because he is a veteran reader, he consciously dresses himself up to the west in order to be recognized.
Wang Zhiwen said that in addition to being ruthless and cunning, Wang Tianxiang should also have a soft side in his heart, such as when facing Gu Xiaomeng......
Hu Jun felt that his appearance was a little too upright, and offered to make a scar on his face or something to increase the murderous spirit of the character.
And the fledgling Wang Kai faced so many big names for the first time, and his performance was very restrained. Xu Ke looked at him like this, and deliberately asked him to show his level of Kunqu Opera in public.
The result is not only good, but also the kind of charm that is shown, ushered in a round of applause from everyone. Sometimes newcomers don't necessarily ask for good acting skills, and attitude is very important.
In contrast, Zhang Yi, the drama spirit, is much more active and open, he doesn't have many scenes, so there is no need to appear here, but he is under the banner of learning from teachers, he is very modest and sincere, and he won everyone's favor as soon as he came up.
He also pointed out that the cleaner in the original biography was a veteran oilman, but he still had the country's righteousness, and after being captured once, he took the initiative to ask to join our party, and then fought in the heart of the enemy. The reason is how it is possible for a veteran oilman to be both literate and understand Morse code. It should have been fought in the heart of the enemy as an intelligence worker of our party from the very beginning.
In fact, the original version does have a lot of flaws, such as the relationship between Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu, as soon as it came up, it was "Sister Yu, I see that you are very close!", which is obviously a bit blunt.
There is also why Bai Xiaonian bit gold and made a fire as soon as he came up, and quarreled at the dinner table, in addition to the grudge in his heart, it seems that he did not explain it thoroughly enough.
So another plot was designed: on the first night of entering Qiuzhuang, Jin Shenghuo knocked on Bai Xiaonian's door and wanted to pull an accomplice, but Bai Xiaonian ignored him, and the two quarreled, exposing their past grievances in the process of quarreling.
As for the spicy scenes, forget it, even if it is filmed, it is impossible to pass the review.
And then there is how to be sure that her body can be sent out after Gu Xiaomeng's death, a sentence was added to the script, to the effect that with her family background, even if it is an underground party, she can collect a whole corpse.
Such a free speech, especially through the discussion of everyone's understanding of the relationship between the characters, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, so that everyone's understanding of their respective characters becomes deeper and clearer. Xu Lao Wei was also very excited, and through everyone's discussion, he also had a lot of new ideas.
......
Night, home.
He Xin took a shower and came out of the bathroom, and saw his girlfriend nestled in the bed, still holding the script in her hand.
"You're not tired, go to bed early. ”
"I've been out for almost a week, so don't hold everyone back. ”
Cheng Hao has always been strong, but now he is even more worried that he will not be able to keep up with the rhythm, which will damage his reputation as a new Tokyo actress.
Saying that, she also hesitated and said: "It's okay to say anything else, but I have never been able to grasp the interaction between Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu." ”
As she spoke, she asked curiously, "What does Li Bingbing say about this?"
"What can she say? No one has seen the full script. ”
Compared with other actors, Cheng Hao should be said to have a very advantage, for the sake of confidentiality, most actors only get scripts related to the roles they play. Even Li Bailian, who was the first to learn the news, only came into contact with the most original script, and many details are still unclear.
Only Cheng Hao, as the proprietress of the boss, can see the full script, including the latest feedback on some details of the adjustments. What she was entangled with at this time was the plausible lily relationship between Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu before.
There's no way, this can't be explained in too much detail. It's too detailed to pass the trial.
If Jin Shenghuo and Bai Xiaonian have spicy eyes, then Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ning are only beautiful, and it would be a pity not to show a little.
Saying that, He Xin sighed, as if he had expected such a thing, and said: "Don't study it, go to bed early, there are a few disks in the study, you can take a good look tomorrow, I believe it will help you deal with the interaction between Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu." ”
"What dish?"
Cheng Hao was an anxious person, and hurriedly got up from the bed as he spoke, and ran out with his slippers, still complaining: "Really, you didn't say it earlier!"
"Hey, don't worry......"
He Xin couldn't stop her at all, so he had to shake his head and burrow into the quilt by himself. Originally, I wanted to have a good performance tonight, after all, I have been recuperating for more than a week.
Anyway, Cheng Hao ran to the study and saw a few discs next to the projector, she picked them up and looked at them: ""Garden Nightmare", "Mulholland Road", "Self-combing", ......"
