The start-up time was set for ten days later, and Chen Shi didn't think about holding a start-up press conference, and he didn't even invite the media.

Li Yalian asked him: "Why don't you hold a start-up press conference?

Of course, Chen Shi knows that he can publicize it, but Gu Long's book-making movies have always been very controversial, he doesn't want to be scolded, he just wants to quietly shoot his ideas, as long as the quality is excellent, he is not afraid of box office problems, martial arts films are now a big hit, because "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscar statuette, therefore, now many well-known directors in China want to make martial arts films, and when the time comes, Chen Shi only needs to play the banner of Gu Long and the words of martial arts films, and someone will definitely come to see it.

He said: "We have to keep a low profile, although we have some money, but, in the film industry, who knows who we are? We can't stand people's questioning, and we don't want to get into trouble, if we are surrounded by a bunch of reporters, how can we live?"

It is very important to keep a low profile as much as possible, those artists who want to be well-known and cooperate with the hype of reporters will never think that their lives have long been surrounded by reporters, maybe some people will like that kind of life, but Chen Shi definitely doesn't like it.

Li Yalian said: "Then we also have to have a worship ceremony, now all the crews are doing this, if we don't do it, will we be discussed?"

Turning on the camera to worship God originated from the crew of Hong Kong and Taiwan, which is the habit of the Chinese people, everything must be auspicious, and even when you go out, you have to choose a good day, so it is not surprising to start worshiping God, that is, to pray for God to bless the crew with all safety.

Although Chen Shi is not superstitious, this kind of thing still has to be customary, otherwise it may be discussed by the crew, if something happens, others will definitely accuse you of saying that it is because you don't worship God and so on.

He said, "Let's get one, but I don't know how to worship God, you know?"

Li Yalian nodded and said, "I know, I saw it when I participated in the filming of "The Drunken Man", so I just have one this time." ”

Chen Shi said yes, and then asked Li Yalian to prepare, and he wanted to convene a meeting with the crew to discuss work issues. Although Li Yalian is the director, who made him Li Yalian's husband? Therefore, let him do these trivial things, Li Yalian just needs to sit behind the monitor and shout to start and end when the camera is turned on.

On this day, in addition to the actors, everyone in the crew came, Chen Shi called everyone to come to a meeting to discuss how to shoot, after all, he was the first time, although many people in the crew were veteran filmmakers, but if there was no deployment, there would be no direction.

After everyone arrived, Chen Shi walked into the office and greeted everyone: "Hello everyone, some of you may not know me yet, first introduce yourself, I Chen Shi, is one of the producers and directors, responsible for communicating with you, everyone here, you can find me if you have anything, the problem that cannot be solved must be said in advance, how to do creative work, therefore, you need to put forward more opinions, anyone who has an opinion, can come to me to talk." ”

Everyone nodded frequently, and Chen Shi said again: "Photography, field affairs, props, costumes, makeup and art planning and other departments, you are all veteran filmmakers, Xiao Gao has said that you are very capable, I will not make harsh requirements for you, my only requirement is to be obedient, if anyone is disobedient, or if you disobey the yang and yin, and engage in some conspiracy, don't blame me for not being emotional, I will definitely not go too far, as long as I do the work in my hands, I will definitely not embarrass you, I hope you will cooperate as much as possible." ”

Everyone said yes, and it must be a seamless cooperation.

Chen Shi asked: "Now I ask, has the venue been chosen? Is there a problem? Is the costumes and props complete? Has the modeling design been discussed? If not, hurry up and ask questions, let's decide here now, discuss here, what we want is efficiency." ”

Everyone did not refute Chen Shi, because he is not only the boss, but also the producer, or the director, who has any objections?

The problem has not been solved yet, and they brought it up when they left, among them, the shooting venue has been solved for the time being because of the lease problem, Chen Shi listened to me, and urged them to solve it as soon as possible, and then the costumes and props have been prepared, art planning, and modeling design are about the same, only some details are missing, and Chen Shi doesn't have to worry about it.

It took nearly four or five hours for the meeting to get everything done, and then Chen Shi waited for the camera to start.

In addition to preparing for the start-up worship ceremony, Li Yalian also had to contact two actresses, Gao Yuanyuan and Zhang Jingchu, these two people were settled by Chen Shi, and Li Yalian had not seen them yet, so she finally took the time to meet today.

Gao Yuanyuan is not as intellectual and generous as in later generations, but a little girl's temperament, Zhang Jingchu is very quiet, and she has not spoken while sitting.

Li Yalian asked the two of them, "Have you both read Gu Long novels?"

Gao Yuanyuan said: "I didn't, I just read one recently." ”

Zhang Jingchu replied the same as Gao Yuanyuan, Li Yalian nodded slightly: "After I go back, read more Gu Long novels, which will help you understand the characters, Gu Long's books are very special, especially the women in them, they are all independent, although there are many shameless behaviors, but after all, they are a minority, the characters in his books are not the image of traditional girls, but modern, the image of modern urban women." ”

There are three images of women in the ancient dragon book, one is the traditional type, this kind of woman is more in the early and middle books, like Lin Shiyin, Shen Bijun, etc., and there is also a kind of independent personality, this kind of woman will not be attached to men, unlike traditional women who will only revolve around men, the representative of this kind is Feng Siniang, and the last one is a bad woman with a ruthless and spicy poplar flower, Lin Xian'er is the representative.

It can be said that Gu Long writes about modern characters, although the background is ancient, however, everyone's character is modern.

Of course, there are three kinds of modern women, the traditional one belongs to the good wife and mother, with an independent personality, and the self-centered one belongs to the strong woman, of course, there is the kind of woman who uses her beauty as a weapon to deceive men and fool all men, this is the dancing girl in modern society.

Gu Long himself is very popular in the song and dance hall, and his research on women can be said to be the pinnacle, therefore, the women he writes are hateful, cute, amiable, real, and feel real, and these women live by your side.

Gao Yuanyuan asked Li Yalian: "Director, do we want special training? I heard that the requirements for martial arts scenes are very strict. ”

Li Yalian explained with a smile: "Although we are shooting martial arts films, there are not many martial arts scenes, we want to shoot alternative martial arts action scenes, which are literary fights, martial arts culture, have you seen "East Evil and West Poison"? You can take a look at this film, the style we want is very similar to it." ”

Both girls said that they had not seen it, they had never been interested in martial arts films, although martial arts movies were very popular, but they had heard of unpopular movies like "East Evil and West Poison", but they had not really seen it.

Gao Yuanyuan said: "I'll go back and see, where is it sold? I'll go back and buy a disc to see." ”

Li Yalian said: "I have it at home, you go back with me to get it." ”

Gao Yuanyuan said: "How can this be?"

Li Yalian smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a disc, but I remember that there is only one, and the two of you can't divide it." ”

Zhang Jingchu hurriedly said: "I don't need it, I'll just go out and buy one." ”

Li Yalian thought for a while and said, "That's it! You two go to my house, and then watch it at my house, I have a movie theater at home, and it looks better in the movie theater, unlike what you watch on TV." ”

Of course, movies will only have an effect if they are watched on the big screen, otherwise after the appearance of television, movies would have been eliminated long ago.

The two wanted to say something more, Li Yalian directly pulled the two of them away, and after going out, Chen Shi was already waiting in the car. Seeing the two actresses, he asked what was going on, Li Yalian explained, and then he asked the two to get into the car quickly, and then started the car.

Along the way, Chen Shi asked the two actresses to say whatever they wanted, and in the future, in the crew, the two of them will be the best scenery.

Gao Yuanyuan talked a lot, and asked Chen Shi and Li Yalian questions from time to time, at first they didn't know that the directors of this movie were two, but now after knowing it, they were immediately envious.

Gao Yuanyuan said: "The two directors are so happy, open a husband and wife file, and there will definitely be one more legend in the film industry in the future." ”

Chen Shi and Li Yalian laughed, and in their laughter, the car drove into the villa area, and at this time, Gao Yuanyuan and Zhang Jingchu were stunned in surprise. They really didn't expect the director's home to be in such a good place.

After getting out of the car, they went straight to the movie theater, Chen Shi found the film, then showed it to them, and then went up. The parents in the house have not come back yet, the younger siblings and sister have already come, and the sister has to pick up her parents, so as soon as Chen Shi came, she was leaving, and Li Yalian accompanied the two actors to watch the movie.

This movie is very unique, and the unique thing is that the thread of the story is completely separated, which is of course the characteristic of the king of sunglasses, and the most beautiful thing about this movie is the cinematography, every second is the result of careful selection, and it is the result of countless polishing.

Also, the dialogue is particularly interesting, and the inner monologues of the characters are a major feature.

Of course, ordinary people will fall asleep when they look at it, if they don't have a little love for literary youth, they can't stand it, Chen Shi can't stand it, only Li Yalian, who has watched it over and over again, every time she watches it, she will have a heartfelt experience and an explosion of inspiration.
