Mainland China, Qiong Island.

A sparsely populated place, but with hundreds of people, temporarily living here.

At first glance, there are many people in period costumes among them.

In this era when Hengdian and Langfang were not built, if Xiangjiang people want to shoot TV dramas and movies in the mainland, Qiongdao is the most suitable.

Whether it is the climate, the conditions, or the geomorphological characteristics of itself, Qiongdao can meet all needs.

There is only one main reason why Qiongdao did not develop into a famous film and television base in later generations.

The center of China's film and television industry lies in the north.

Therefore, even with Hengdian, the world's largest film and television base, the corridor under Huajing is still alive and developing strongly.

Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai are connected by two film and television bases, so their role is very strong, and it is very convenient for everyone to come and go.

For example, when I was filming in Hengdian today, I could go to Lin'an and Huhai to do various activities and go to TV stations to do programs after a few hours of car ride.

But what about Joan Island?

It's too far, it's too inconvenient.

This is the most important reason why Qiongdao, even if it is the first film and television base selected by Xiangjiang Films, has not developed.

But now, there is no such worry on the side of Qiongdao.

The film and television industry in Hong Kong is several times stronger than in previous lives.

An endless stream of crews came over, bringing a lot of income and popularity to Qiongdao.

Even people in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia know that there are often Xiangjiang crews here, so they will add the goal of Shanghai Qiongdao when they travel.

Not to mention the filming of classic movies such as "Shanghai Beach", basically in front of every familiar building, there are tourists taking pictures here.

Although these tourists are not as rampant as after 2017 - the roads are blocked, the airports are crowded, and countless people who go to work are unable to go back on time, but the tens of thousands of tourists every month, coupled with the fact that they are still Xiangjiang people and foreigners, is also a great boost to the tourism industry of Qiongdao.

So now when the crew of Xiangjiang comes to Qiongdao, they all enjoy the treatment of being accompanied, taken care of, and taken care of.

They don't have to worry about almost anything other than giving money.

This is the case with the crew of "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

In order to conform to the scenes set in the script, Hu Jinquan did not spend the Spring Festival on Treasure Island, but went to Qiongdao Island to investigate for half a month, and then selected a mountainous area and built Lin Zhennan's mansion here for important scenes in the play.

Hu Jinquan is notoriously truthful in making movies.

"The Chivalrous Girl", which made him famous, also spent half a month, doing nothing, and going to the valley early in the morning every morning to shoot the first ray of sunshine.

After half a month, I finally got it, but in the end, because of the rhythm and plot rendering problems, this shot was actually abandoned.

So after "Chivalrous Girl" hit the street at the box office, Hu Jinquan fell to the point where there was no movie to make, and there was a reason.

If it weren't for the fact that a few years later, "The Heroine" won two awards at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for Best Picture, Hu Jinquan would not have been able to turn over.

Even so, Hu Jinquan's film works in recent years have obviously decreased.

Because it is now a box office-based commercial film bestseller, Hu Jinquan's style has fallen behind the times, and it is okay to occasionally schedule films on Baodao, but no one in Xiangjiang buys it.

This time, Yin Jun specially invited him to go out of the mountain, and Hu Jinquan agreed after thinking about it.

When he came to the script, he was very satisfied.

Second, Yin Jun gave enough money, whether it was the director's salary or production costs, especially the latter, which could be squandered by him in filming.

The third point is that Hu Jinquan really wants to use this film to tell everyone that I am not old yet!

After a month of careful preparation from January, the crew finally started filming.

For such a long time, Hu Jinquan advised the layout of various scenes, and discussed the plot and run-in with the crew.

As the leading actor, Li Lianjie has not had a temper yet, and he will do whatever Hu Jinquan asks him to do, and he seems to be very obedient.

But Hu Jinquan didn't like him.

Because Li Lianjie was born with a cold face, his facial expressions are not rich enough, and he can't express the chic posture of the hero Ling Hu Chong in his heart.

But Li Lianjie is the only protagonist set by Yin Jun, it is said that Yin Jun is very optimistic about this young man, and Hu Jinquan can only endure it.

After so many years of ups and downs, Hu Jinquan is no longer so stubborn, let alone that this is just a commercial film.

He also dreams of doing what Yin Jun explained like his brother-in-law Li Hanxiang, and he can get the investment in literary films given to him by Yin Jun.

Besides, Li Lianjie is really working hard, and he insists on himself in many dangerous scenes, this kind of seriousness is appreciated by Hu Jinquan.

It's just that Yin Jun does take good care of Li Lianjie, and there are five Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts who serve him alone, staring at Li Lianjie specifically to prevent him from being injured due to various actions and fights.

The working state of the entire crew is Hu Jinquan's most satisfied.

Xiangjiang people are much more dedicated than the lazy and self-reliant Baodao people.

The work attitude is also positive and professional.

For example, Wen Jun, the producer specially assigned by Yin Jun, and the assistant director Xu Ke, are all outstanding talents.

As long as he is instructed, no matter what the requirements and ideas are, Wen Jun will definitely be able to do things properly as soon as possible.

After working together for a while, Hu Jinquan, who realized it later, heard that this Wen Jun producer was actually the deputy general manager of Kirin Films and Yin Jun's confidant.

Unexpectedly, Yin Jun sent him out, no wonder the crew was so obedient and serious.

And although Wen Jun is the most powerful film producer, in addition to taking care of daily affairs, he does not interfere in all filming matters, which makes Hu Jinquan like it the most.

As a director, no one likes to have a mother-in-law in charge, and shoot according to their own filming style, that's the best.

The other assistant director Xu Ke can see that he admires Hu Jinquan very much, and there are many concepts and styles of Hu Jinquan's shadow.

But Hu Jinquan doesn't think that Xu Ke is the same kind of person as himself.

When communicating on weekdays, he has already seen that Xu Ke prefers that sharp and concise style, and it is full of violent factors.

In terms of the plot, Xu Ke's handling of the details is not enough, but he just hopes that there will be greater contradictions and conflicts to make the movie look more exciting and good-looking, and he doesn't care about the sublimation of the theme of the whole movie.

But Xu Ke is in these links he likes, and his talent is first-class strong.

Action directors including Yuan Xiangren and Dong Wei were all impressed by the actions designed by Xu Ke.

When presented in the camera, the fight scenes not only have elegant characteristics, but also have the majesty of tigers and tigers, which looks very enjoyable.

……

Hu Jinquan praised and regretted Xu Ke, but Xu Ke was very dissatisfied with Hu Jinquan.

In addition to the time when he first entered the crew, Xu Ke was respectful to Hu Jinquan, and now Xu Ke is completely disappointed in Hu Jinquan.

He found that his idol was still the same kind of thinking as he was in the 60s and 70s, and the pictures he shot were stretched and elegant, but they were very slow and scattered, and they did not have the style of a normal commercial film at all.

If such a movie is released, it will be a complete disaster.

The plots in the play can't be connected, procrastinating and paying too much attention to inconsequential details, and the audience doesn't know what this cumbersome and boring movie is about, so what good box office is there?

Maybe this will be Yin Jun's first box office failure!

You must know that for the movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Yin Jun invested a full 30 million production costs.

The actors and behind-the-scenes production staff are all first-class good players.

The total salary of all the actors does not exceed 5 million, Hu Jinquan's director's salary is 2 million, and the remaining more than 20 million is all used for filming.

But this money, in Xu Ke's opinion, was not used at all, and a lot of it was wasted.

There are many unnecessary shots, just to express the emotions and expressions of the characters, Hu Jinquan will boil them over and over again, and he has to shoot them until he is satisfied.

I'm sorry, Master Hu, this is a commercial movie!

The most important thing in commercial movies is definitely not to dig out the psychological changes of the characters at every moment, but to the plot, the rhythm of the whole, and the kind of visual effect expressed in the movie!

This element is vividly expressed in Yin Jun's "Speed of Life and Death".

Xu Ke even watched "Speed of Life and Death" fifteen times, just to learn the various elements expressed by Yin Jun in it.

Now he finally understands why Hu Jinquan is obviously a master of making martial arts films, but he has been completely ruined all these years.

Idols are really behind the times!

Now it's time for your generation to make an appearance!

Xu Ke remembered the promises that Yin Jun made to him, as well as the movies he promised him, and his heart was hot.

Of course, Xu Ke is not without gains.

I learned Hu Jinquan's shooting techniques and his way of expression at close range, which is very good for Xu Ke.

In addition, Xu Ke also admires the members of this crew.

For example, martial arts instructors Yuan Xiangren and Dong Wei, their understanding of martial arts movements is simply a must, and many times Hu Jinquan and Xu Ke can understand it as soon as they say it.

And then the designed action is also very good-looking, quite a sense of flowing water.

The next time Xu Ke directs himself, he will definitely invite one of them to come over and design the fight action.

What's more important is the starring Li Lianjie.

Xu Ke liked him when he saw it, and then felt Li Lianjie's various fighting skills and the kind of temperament expressed, Xu Ke felt that he must find Li Lianjie to be his protagonist in the future.

As for which one it is, he hasn't figured it out yet, it's just a vague shadow.

Perhaps, in the script given by Yin Jun, there will be a role suitable for Li Lianjie?

After all, this young man is also one of the newcomers that Yin Jun values the most!
