Chapter 608 Grab the cake

Even in Xiangjiang, working overtime during the Chinese New Year is a very painful thing.

But within Hengying, many people are also working overtime during the New Year.

When Jiang Xia first came to Hengying, he didn't deal with several other supervisors, which led to these supervisors wearing small shoes for Jiang Xia, and the employees sent to Jiang Xia to shoot "God of Gamblers" were not the top, and those top employees in Hengying didn't dare to go because of the supervisor's attitude, and now their intestines are repentant.

A movie with a box office of more than one billion, if you can participate in it, what a golden qualification it is.

Therefore, in the preparation of "The City Full of Golden Armor" this time, even the directors of several other departments still wanted to press them, but they were still robbed, and only then did some people grab the job opportunity - the opportunity to stay overtime.

There is a lot of preparation work in the early stage, and the first thing to get is the props and sets, which need to be done a long time in advance due to the arrangement of the script.

And they may not be able to get satisfactory results when they work overtime, because the standard of judgment is not them, but Jiang Xia.

This is also the purpose of today's meeting, and it is necessary to let Jiang Xia know the current process and put forward his own views and suggestions for improvement.

When Jiang Xia arrived at Hengying, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the meeting was held at eight o'clock, and it was quite appropriate for him to come at this point.

There was no one to cook in the restaurant, so Jiang Xia could only find a place outside to fill his stomach.

When he arrived at Hengying, Jiang Xia called Xue Yan.

"Hey, Jiang Xia, have you arrived?" Xue Yan asked.

"I've arrived, I've just entered the building, where am I going? or where are I going?" Jiang Xia asked.

"You don't need to go to the conference room, you come up to the props warehouse, do you know where it is?" Xue Yan asked.

"Know, I'll go straight over. Jiangxia said.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xia went directly into the elevator.

Coming to the prop warehouse, there are a lot of props here, all kinds of broken or intact, piled up in the warehouse, row by row, very neat, very beautiful, not cluttered at all.

The entire warehouse occupies half of the floor, and there is a place where the lights are on, and Jiang Xia walks directly to the place where the lights are on.

There are a lot of people here, some of them are known to Jiang Xia, and more are unknown, Cheng Xin and Xue Yan are there, and when they saw Jiang Xia, they just nodded lightly.

"What's the situation?" Jiang Xia asked.

"Here's the armor design, you look at the style. Cheng Xin pointed to the armor in front of him.

Jiang Xia looked up, it was not real armor, it was a one-to-one model made of 3D printing. Now to get prop models, it's all like this, it will be more convenient, than the original kind of real props, can't do it again, it's much more efficient.

Sweeping back and forth, Jiang Xia asked, "What is the template for the armor style?"

"It's the armor style of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, we refer to your script, and I feel that the standard armor of the golden armor will be more in line with the situation at the time. Someone gave Jiang Xia an answer.

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "How about the weight?"

"Look at what material you use to make it, if you really make a one-to-one real armor, it will definitely be heavy. If you can add some other materials, it will be lighter. ”

Jiang Xia touched the model and said, "Control the weight of the armor, around twenty catties, it doesn't need to be too heavy, and it can't be too light." If it's too heavy, the actor will have a burden, and if it's too light, there is no texture in it, and it's easy to float when running. ”

"Okay. ”

Jiang Xia looked ahead, there was a silver armor, and it was also a one-to-one model, and the difference between the style and the gold armor was quite large. The armor of the golden armor is mainly based on the image of the tiger, and the shoulder armor part and the cuirass part have the image of the tiger, which is very powerful. The silver armor is mainly in the image of an eagle, and the shoulder armor and cuirass, including the main body of the entire armor, are the image of a silver eagle, which is very handsome.

"Why do you use an eagle instead of a wolf here?" Jiang Xia asked.

"We believe that during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the totem symbol of the eagle has a clearer meaning than the totem symbol of the wolf, and it seems that the emperor's army is more powerful, and can fly like an eagle and advance and retreat freely. ”

"Wrong, it's better to replace it with a wolf. Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "The emperor's army, do you have to consider the emperor's personality, the biography of the characters? This is a person who will do anything to achieve his goals, and a ferocious creature like a wolf will be more symbolic than an eagle, isn't it?"

"But ......"

Cheng Xin said, "Change, wolf." ”

In a word, sex is given directly. Cheng Xin didn't react much when she saw Jiang Xia coming, she didn't even say a word, this was her first sentence, which was to help Jiang Xia suppress all opposition.

Jiang Xia smiled at her, and Cheng Xin glanced at him expressionlessly.

After Xue Yan knew the relationship between the two, and then looked at the way these two people got along, she could always find something different.

The two people who look very calm seem to have something different in them no matter how they look at it. What Cheng Xin wanted to do, Xue Yan already knew very well, but what Jiang Xia thought, she really had to take a good look.

Cheng Xin spoke, and the person in charge of the props team could only respond and record the revisions.

"Whose armor is here?" Jiang Xia asked, gesturing to the next set of armor.

In "The City Full of Golden Armor", the emperor's armor is golden, and there are two sets of armor for the second prince, one is the first silver, and the other is the last gold.

In front of Jiang Xia was a set of golden armor, which was obviously different from the original set of standard armor, but Jiang Xia really didn't see who this was for.

"This is an armor for the emperor, and the overall design is based on the image of a dragon, with some features of a lion. Director Jiang, look here, the shoulder armor is in the shape of a dragon, and the decorative significance is greater than the practical significance. ”

Jiang Xia got closer and saw clearly that there was a dragon-shaped pattern on the shoulder armor, Jiang Xia shook his head and said: "Since it is the emperor's armor, in the shape of a dragon, then highlight it a little, carve pictures and texts, in terms of decorative meaning, it can be welded here like accessories." It's the same on the helmet, the relief carving is very good, it is very difficult, but it is not vivid. The moviegoers won't be able to see this scene unless you give it a close-up, and you think there will be so many close-ups of a set of armor that is only worn once? ”

"Okay. ”

Again, I hurriedly jotted down the revisions.

Xue Yan listened to Jiang Xia's instructions and arrangements, she still has some prejudice against Jiang Xia now, but after knowing that Cheng Xin and Jiang Xia used to be lovers, the prejudice has been eliminated a lot, and she can now objectively observe Jiang Xia's behavior. She also has to admit that Jiang Xia has a standard and has some opinions on the movie industry.

When filming "God of Gamblers", I still didn't feel that he would participate in the whole process of filming a costume drama with such a long preparation time, which was very prominent.

It seems that in Jiang Xia's eyes, what can be seen is not the script, but the finished movie, and the use of every shot.

In the arrangement of props, the shooting situation and the arrangement of the shots were taken into account.

Xue Yan's known directors, I haven't heard of anyone who can do this, even if they are also self-written and directed directors, it is difficult to reach Jiang Xia's level, she admits that Jiang Xia's success is justified.

"The armor of the second prince must be actionable, and his final fight scenes are many and heavy. If the armor is not good, if it is too complicated, it is a bit redundant. But it can't be too simple, he is a great general, and he can't be as recognizable as standard armor. Your armor is good, but it's not recognizable enough, you can add a little something to enhance the recognition, I recommend making a fuss about the helmet. ”

"Okay, we'll redesign the helmet. ”

Jiang Xia nodded, and finished reading the props here, and then looked around, but didn't find any other props.

"How are the royal costumes prepared?" Jiang Xia asked directly.

"It's not ready yet, according to Director Jiang's requirements, it is the style of the Tang Dynasty, but the style of the Tang Dynasty is also divided into many kinds, which style should we prefer?"

Jiang Xia said: "Palace style." The costumes of the Tang Dynasty, the court costumes are very different from the costumes of ordinary people, we are filming court dramas, of course, court costumes. ”

"Yes...... In that case, isn't it a bit too much?" he glanced at Cheng Xin and Xue Yan as he spoke, but did not say the words.

Jiang Xia said: "It's okay, just do it." ”

"Okay. ”

Cheng Xin glanced at Xue Yan, Xue Yan immediately understood what she meant, and stepped forward to ask, "What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing?"

"It's okay, it's the style of clothing, the court costume style of the Tang Dynasty, which tends to be a little more open, covered by light yarn, and half-exposed, which is reflected in the paintings of the famous painter Yan Liben in the Tang Dynasty. The brother's concern was that the court clothes made in this way would be a little indecent and suspected of selling meat. Jiang Xia explained to Cheng Xin and Xue Yan.

"Does it have any effect?" asked Cheng Xin.

Jiang Xia shook his head and said: "It doesn't have much impact, it is supposed to reflect the luxury of the royal court, and the women who are dressed in revealing clothes are themselves one of the symbols of the feudal class." ”

"It's good that it doesn't matter. Cheng Xin said.

Xue Yan said on the side: "There may be still publicity expenses left, just saying that the palace is full of beauties selling meat can attract a large number of audiences." ”

Jiang Xia shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's a benefit from the attachment." ”

"I remember that at the beginning of the script, the first scene you wrote was a group of palace maids changing clothes?" asked Cheng Xin.

"Yes, yes. Jiang Xia nodded.

Cheng Xin didn't say anything more, just glanced at Jiang Xia more.

Jiang Xia didn't seem to notice, so he continued to ask: "In addition to costumes, what about the other props, swords, spears, and spears?"

"Those have ready-made templates, and you can use them directly when the time comes, and they are all here. ”

Jiang Xia followed over and took a look at it together, the overall is indeed very good, the quality is very good, and only one request was made: "Don't have problems with the color when the time comes, because we want a large amount." ”

"Okay. ”

"No special effects?" Xue Yan asked.

Jiang Xia said: "You don't know that the effect of the actual shooting is much better than the special effects." Even if we're a blockbuster, we don't necessarily need special effects everywhere, understand? We're blockbusters, not special effects blockbusters, understand?"

"I don't need you to lecture me. Xue Yan said unhappily.

Cheng Xin turned her head and glanced at Xue Yan, and Xue Yan immediately shut up.

"The props have reached this level so far, some accessories or something, they haven't been made yet, and they have to wait. The renderings of the scene layout have not been finished yet, but the place has been rented, what do you want, you can say now, there are people from other departments over there. Cheng Xin said.

"Let's go and see how far we can go. Jiang Xia took the lead and walked over.

Cheng Xin followed him, Xue Yan squinted her eyes, she noticed that Jiang Xia sometimes shouted "Mr. Cheng" but rarely showed an attitude towards his superiors, on the contrary, he had always been very casual.

Compared with the production of props, the art of the scene is also a very cumbersome thing.

In order to reflect the splendor of the entire palace, the rented palace had to be repainted, which was a work procedure that Jiangxia had set a long time ago, but there was no further guidance on how to redecorate and paint. At that time, he was busy working on the album and the "Superstar" series, and he didn't have time to care about this side at all.

To be honest, if I hadn't come here today, I really don't know how the preparations would have got.

"For the time being, only the renderings of the palace as a whole, as well as the renderings of the central round platform, according to the round platform in the sky and the round place mentioned before, the color is also bright yellow, with red. ”

Jiang Xia looked at the renderings and pulled the angle back and forth.

I have to admit that Hengying's strength is still there, and the armor props just now, although some of them are inconsistent with his ideas, but the details are really in place and perfect, and they can also reflect the skills of the prop master.

The current palace renderings are also very good, the height ratio of the high platform occupies the position of the entire palace, and the distance between the front and back is very in line with the requirements of Jiangxia.

"Beautiful. Jiang Xia exclaimed, "The picture style is also very good, is there a style inside the palace?"

"Not yet, but I tend to have a high platform style, which is mainly gorgeous. ”

"It's the kind of style that looks at the past and doesn't notice anything other than luxury, and it makes people indulge in color. Jiang Xia said, "Come on, I believe in you." ”

After finishing speaking, Cheng Xin also reluctantly said a few words, and then came out of the warehouse together.

Cheng Xin said: "The preliminary preparations for the movie are like this for the time being, do you have anything else to say?"

"The place has been rented, especially the venue in the southwest, has you talked about it?" Jiang Xia asked.

"It's down. Cheng Xin said.

"That's fine, when the palace is ready, by the way, you can also prepare for casting. Jiangxia said.

Cheng Xin said: "How is the second script of your God of Gamblers?

"Have you figured out what schedule?" Jiang Xia asked.

"If you can, try as fast as you can, summer is the best. Cheng Xin said.

Jiang Xia said speechlessly: "Summer file, are you kidding?"

"No kidding, the bigwigs of the casino can't wait too long, they have to consider the opinions of investors. If you don't have time, you can hand it over to Guo Zhilong to shoot, he promised me not long ago that he will be able to shoot the second part of God of Gamblers. Cheng Xin said.

Jiang Xia narrowed his eyes, this is to grab the cake......
