Chapter 742: Fractures

To write the script, Jiang Xia had to take time out in the evening to start working.

The script of "Dark War" can wait a little longer, although he wants to make this movie, but it is not yet confirmed, the reason is that the box office of this movie is not very high.

In 1999, the box office was only more than 14 million Hong Kong dollars, and as a police film, the box office was only less than 1 million more than the box office of "Star Wish" released at the same time, which shows how painful the box office of this movie is.

The box office is not high, so when Jiang Xia chose it, he had doubts in his heart.

If it weren't for his acting skills, he would definitely choose "Infernal Affairs" directly, and he would not be so entangled.

After experiencing the five-minute performance of "Falling", Jiang Xia believes that his acting skills have made a breakthrough, but he has not yet reached that top-level level. Although Jiang Xia himself has honed his acting skills and is also teaching others to act as a director, there are things that are not said to be enough, they need experience and time accumulation.

Jiang Xia still has too few roles, his acting skills are good, but not good enough to take it out and conquer everything, and every actor has the kind of domineering spirit to take out and conquer everything, and he can play against other actors and actresses, and he will not fall behind at all.

That kind of domineering, Jiang Xia doesn't have it, he is in front of Lu Xiuping and Qiao Xue in "The City Full of Golden Armor", although his acting skills are not crushed, but he is also a little unwatchable, many times he is taken away, only with considerable concentration, can he not be affected and play his own level.

Compared with Ding Yiyi, he feels a lot better, although Ding Yiyi is also an actor, he does not have the strong field control ability of the older actors, his acting skills are more delicate, and he has not yet cultivated to the point of ignoring everything.

Jiang Xia thinks very highly of himself, but he also thinks that compared with Ding Yiyi, he is a little inadequate, but he thinks that the gap between himself and Ding Yiyi is not very far, and after two more roles, it is estimated that he will be able to catch up with him.

Other actors, their acting styles are relatively fixed, and generally when you think of this actor, you can think of his role, and each role has a relatively distinct style. When you think of Tony Leung, you will inevitably think of his charming eyes, when you think of Chow Yun-fat, you will inevitably think of the domineering spirit of holding a toothpick and holding a double gun, and when you think of Ge You, you will inevitably think of Uncle Ge's baldness......

Jiang Xia thinks that the style he can imitate can only be one person, and that is Liang Jiahui.

Leung Ka-fai is a very special actor, he doesn't have a very special acting style, but he can play every role thoroughly, you watch him act, you will always ignore his appearance, you can only remember his role.

Jiang Xia himself has a lot of roles to play, and there are many roles he will play in the future, these roles have different styles, he can't interpret each role now, he believes that there will be a day, the path he wants to take is the path of Leung Jiahui, so that people ignore his appearance and only remember his role.

Jiang Xia, who began to write the script of "Superstar", is very quiet, and during the break of filming during the day, he will also think about how to write the script.

The filming of "The Gambler" went smoothly, but there were still accidents, and it was Jiang Xia who had the accident.

In the movie, Ah Xing and the third uncle came to the villa where the gambler Daozi lived in order to introduce the gambler Daozai, had a fight with him, and then sneaked into the villa at night to prank. When he was outside the window, because the third uncle above was pulling the rope, he was discovered by Long Wu, and accidentally missed and fell Ah Xing from the second floor.

In such a shot, Jiang Xia was accidentally injured while shooting.

He was also very helpless when he was injured this time, and he couldn't blame others at all, it was purely bad luck. The camera was shot three times, all of them were the same shot, and the action was the same. In the movie, Ah Xing fell, but when filming, he asked Weiya to pull him away, and then shot the shot of lying on the ground, which was cut.

Three times to shoot, it was Wia who pulled him apart, but on the third time, Jiang Xia had a gust of wind, and then blew a flower pot upstairs, which happened to hit Jiang Xia's arm, Jiang Xia's arm was broken on the spot and was sent directly to the hospital.

"Why are you so careless?" When You Fangfei rushed to the hospital, she still complained about Jiang Xia.

Cheng Xin also rushed to the hospital as soon as possible, but she came a little late, because she was notified late, after Jiang Xia was injured, it was You Fangfei who was notified first, and then Cheng Xin.

"What's going on?" Cheng Xin asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Jiang Xia said: "It's okay, don't worry, it's purely accidental." ”

He attaches great importance to safety, especially his own safety, which is the most important thing, as long as he drives, he is absolutely in accordance with the most standard traffic regulations, the speed limit is how much, do not compact the line, do not catch the yellow light...... What does it mean to drive a car? It is good to drive home safely without deducting points. By following the traffic rules, the danger can be minimized.

It's the same when filming, the action scenes will be confirmed over and over again, and when the tricks are set, they will also be confirmed over and over again, and he will not really go into battle after ensuring that there are no problems at all. Even so, there are often injuries and accidents, and no one can guarantee 100% safety.

Jiang Xia is not afraid of injury, when filming, it is normal to be injured, as long as there is no danger to his life, this is his bottom line.

"When you shoot the city with golden armor, you are not lightly injured, right?" Cheng Xin asked, "You can't shoot some scenes that are not injured?"

Jiang Xia smiled: "How is it possible, unless you make a love movie, how can you not get hurt." ”

"Then make a love movie, it's not dangerous, and you can win awards. Cheng Xin said.

You Fangfei on the side glanced at Cheng Xin and saw the distress in her eyes under her cold face. You Fangfei lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Jiang Xia shook his head and said: "Love movies are not good, in a short period of time, I will not make love movies." ”

"Then what are you going to shoot?" asked You Fangfei.

"Police and gangster films, if you don't make police and gangster movies in Xiangjiang, isn't that a waste of Xiangjiang's resources?" Jiang Xia said, "I don't seem to have made a police movie yet, right? ”

"Your cop movie?" You Fangfei was surprised, "You can still write about cops and bandits?"

"Jokes, I can't write anything. Jiang Xia said proudly.

"You're fine, I'm leaving. Cheng Xin said.

After speaking, Cheng Xin left the hospital, and when she left, she glanced at You Fangfei.

Jiang Xia had a broken arm, and in a short period of time, he could only shoot a limited number of scenes, and the shooting speed was greatly reduced.

The crew that had just started to speed up slowed down instantly, and Jiang Xia had no choice, which could only be said to be bad luck.

His role couldn't be filmed, the actors and crew of the crew had a lot of time, and Jiang Xia himself also had a lot of time, but his arm was injured, and the script he wanted to write couldn't be written at all.

However, Jiang Xia was Jiang Xia in the end, and he quickly found something to do.

Before filming "The City Full of Golden Armor", there were two theme songs, but he just filmed the MV and did not sing it.

In the past two days, when he had time, he began to sing.

The first song to sing is "Chrysanthemum Terrace", this song is the ending song of "The City is Full of Golden Armor", and it is also the third song of Jay Chou's palace slow-shaking Chinese style songs, the first two are "East Wind Breaking" and "Hair Like Snow", which is also this song, which makes Jay Chou's Chinese style songs enter a higher age level, so that more people can hear his Chinese style songs.

At that time, Dong Chou was complained by everyone that the words were not clear, so in the song "Chrysanthemum Terrace", almost every word was bitten clearly, just for fear that director Zhang Yimou would not use his songs.

So looking at all Jay Chou's Chinese-style songs, the bite of this song is the clearest.

Jiang Xia is a person who likes Chinese-style songs very much, and he was very familiar with this song in his previous life, and now he is also familiar with singing it, which is quite relaxed and comfortable.

"Thy tears, weak and wounded,

The miserable white moon bends and bends, hooking the past ......"

Jiangxia recorded songs in the Hengying Building, Cheng Xin made Hengying, the shelf is so big, the facilities inside are naturally what they want, so Jiang Xia wants to record songs, so naturally there is a recording studio.

You Fangfei didn't come, it was Cheng Xin and Xue Yan who came, and there was a recording engineer.

As soon as Jiang Xia's voice came out, Xue Yan and the sound recorder's expressions moved slightly, soft, very soft. Jiang Xia's voice has a sense of sadness, and in this sadness, there seems to be a soft power, and as the lyrics progress, that softness disappears, replaced by a deeper sadness.

Cheng Xin doesn't have the musical literacy of Xue Yan and the recording engineer, so she can't hear some things about the song, but she can hear the whole song very well, and a faint sadness echoes in it.

After singing it, all three of them applauded.

"Mr. Jiang's words are very well written this time, I really admire Mr. Jiang. The sound engineer said.

"It's not just the lyrics, it's also the tunes. Xue Yan said, "It has maintained the same level." ”

Cheng Xin heard the voices of the two and didn't react. Jiang Xia didn't react at all, but asked to come again, to sing it over and over again, and take out the version in the best condition.

"You've got an arm injury, but your throat is fine. Cheng Xin said to Jiang Xia while eating.

"If you have an accident with your throat, it's a big deal. Jiang Xia said, "The arm only affects acting, and the director's words are fine." If something happens to your throat, you can't do anything. ”

"It's a good song. Cheng Xin said.

"The promotional song of the movie, of course, has to be sung well. Jiang Xia said with a smile.

"Aren't they two songs, and what is that one?" asked Cheng Xin.

"Golden armor. Jiang Xia said, "The publicity is divided into three waves, the first wave is the trailer, which can be released in October, and then the MV of the chrysanthemum platform will be released in November, and the MV of the Golden Armor will be released in early December. This is domestic propaganda, foreign, just put a trailer, the trailer for foreign countries has to be different from the domestic editing, and I will cut it myself when the time comes. ”

"You've done a lot of work this time. Cheng Xin said.

Jiang Xia said with a smile: "Of course with your heart, with an investment of nearly 300 million, you don't have to worry about impacting North American movies, isn't that a signboard for me." ”
