Chapter 538: Start worshipping God

When Jiang Xia arrived in Xiangjiang, the sky was just dawning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I went to the garage to pick up the car, and after seeing that it was still early, Jiang Xia decided to go home first.

Jiang Xia slept for a while on the plane, and he didn't rest well, it was no different from an all-nighter, and he didn't sleep well the night before, and it was not easy for Jiang Xia to keep his attention on driving now.

When he got home and looked at the empty three-story villa, Jiang Xia missed the happy time he had with You Fangfei and Jiang Chenxi yesterday, but he could only miss it, and then he yawned and put his things down and cleaned them up.

After cleaning up, Jiang Xia didn't rest much, went to wash up, went straight out to drive, and rushed to the set.

The time that Xue Yan informed Jiang Xia was eight o'clock in the morning and he had to rush to the set.

By the time Jiang Xia arrived on the set, it was already 7:45, only a quarter of an hour away.

There were a lot of people on the set, Jiang Xia looked at it, and could see several familiar people, all of whom were employees of Hengying, they came earlier than Jiang Xia, looking at the set that had been almost arranged, Jiang Xia's eyes narrowed.

He is the director, he should have the final say on the set, he hasn't come yet, everything is arranged like this, who arranged it?

Jiangxia's car is also well-known in Hengying, and there are not many people who drive luxury cars in Hengying, Jiangxia is one.

The car was not bought by Jiang Xia, it was driven for him by Cheng Xin at the beginning of his house. Even Cheng Xin's own car is not as expensive as Jiangxia's car. Because of this, his car is very easy to recognize, and there are few cars in the entire Xiangjiang, can it be difficult to recognize......

When I saw Jiang Xia's car arrive, I knew that Jiang Xia had arrived.

As the director of the whole movie, Jiang Xia has never worked with this team, and even the team members, Jiang Xia has not seen all of them, as a leader, he is really a little unreasonable.

However, he can't be blamed for this, according to the plan, next week is the start time, and he still has a few days to meet with the team, talk about how this drama is filmed, and talk about his plan, there is plenty of time. Now suddenly mentioning that now, Jiang Xia was caught off guard and was not prepared at all.

Jiang Xia watched that the entire crew was busy, everything was in order, it seemed that someone was combing the entire crew and directing the entire crew.

It's definitely not Cheng Xin, Cheng Xin doesn't have the ability or the idleness, so who could it be?

After getting out of the car, Jiang Xia approached here, only to see the person in charge of the crew, a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly bald, shouting this and that commanding the person there.

As the leading actor, Fang Ye was chatting with people not far away, Jiang Feng was chatting with his "girlfriend", smiling happily, and several other actors with more scenes were also standing not far away watching this side clean up.

Jiang Xia's arrival, they were the first to see and the first to react.

Fang Ye was the first to come over and greet Jiang Xia.

"Director Jiang, it's late today. Fang Yedao walked over, shook hands with Jiang Xia and smiled.

"There's no way, I just came back from the capital, and I came over non-stop. Jiang Xia shrugged.

After a pause, Jiang Xia looked at the worship venue arranged over there, and asked casually, "It's not bad here, who is responsible for getting it?"

"Guo Zhilong, Director Guo, if you don't come here in the morning, he will temporarily get it for you. Fang Ye said a word to Jiang Xia, and also helped Guo Zhilong explain.

Jiang Xia suddenly remembered who Guo Zhilong was.

After deciding to shoot "God of Gamblers", Jiang Xia, Cheng Xin and other directors collectively held a meeting, that is, the filming plan of "God of Gamblers", including the formation of the crew, publicity, release, etc., were all mentioned at the meeting. Among them, Jiang Xia mentioned the need for an assistant director.

The company would have arranged an assistant director for Jiangxia, and in all aspects of the entire crew, Hengying would definitely prepare very perfectly. In the end, there is a foundation of an old company, which has been mixed in the film industry for decades, and everyone has it.

Jiang Xia himself is not good at some gunfire movies, he needs an experienced assistant director to help him, Guo Zhilong is such an experienced assistant director.

Every director has his own good at it, John Woo's violent aesthetic films, bombing everywhere, but they are very good-looking and very pleasing to the eye, which is what he is good at; Zhang Yimou's early films, every frame is very exquisite, the composition is very rigorous, perfect, and the color is incomparably magnificent; Feng Xiaogang's films, his unique Feng humor, is his killer feature; Wong Kar-wai's films, messy editing, frequent golden sentences, and nonsense-like descriptions, are all his advantages, and only he can make his films with that kind of flavor......

When making movies, directors put their own advantages and ideas into the movie, and if they give up their own advantages, there will be problems, the most typical is Director Feng Da's "Night Banquet", which is simply a typical representative of the opposite.

Jiang Xia personally thinks that what he is good at is his ability to deduct details, and the other is the advantage brought by crossing, which can copy what he has seen without dropping, but this copy is also good at and not good at. He is good at costume dramas, as well as urban emotional dramas, and he is very good at these two aspects. Jiang Xia is not good at gunfire-themed movies, and he is not good at movies with modern urban stunts when he expands the scope.

Even if it is a movie with a magical theme, Jiang Xia can shoot it decently, but he is really unfamiliar with modern stunt movies, not only is he not familiar with the technology, but he is also not familiar with how to show the shots he wants.

However, as long as there are no stunts, Jiangxia can still control urban dramas, and even have advantages.

Jiang Xia knew where his strengths and weaknesses were, so he asked Hengying to arrange an experienced deputy for him to come over and help him shoot the gunfight scene. It's just this one, and the rest of the scenes are still Jiang Xia's idea.

Guo Zhilong is a veteran director in Xiangjiang, in the glory period of Xiangjiang films, he was the director who just debuted, caught the last train of the glory of Xiangjiang movies, and made two good police movies. But that's all, since those two masterpieces, his ability to make films has been declining, and I don't know if Xiangjiang movies have declined, and even let him fall, anyway, he has not been able to make any memorable movies. Since Hengying was established, he has also invested in a police movie, but he has lost a lot of money......

Although his achievements are relatively low, Guo Zhilong, as a native of Xiangjiang, has a high knowledge and understanding of gunfights and flying car stunts. Perhaps because of this, Guo Zhilong himself is very arrogant in Hengying, he is everyone in Hengying in this field, and he has arrogant capital, and he is very unhappy to let him be Jiang Xia's deputy.

Guo Zhilong's unhappiness was not what Cheng Xin told him, Cheng Xin was not so bored that he cared about his subordinates. Guo Zhilong was reluctant to be his deputy, which was mentioned by Feng Bowen when he gossiped about Jiang Xia. As a fan of Jiangxia, Feng Bowen often came over to chat with Jiangxia and tell him some gossip about the company.

Jiang Xia didn't know where Feng Bowen got the gossip, but it may not be groundless, looking at the situation at the scene today, it was almost Guo Zhilong who clearly expressed his dissatisfaction, and he didn't know Jiang Xia's director at all. Seeing Jiang Xia coming, the rest of the crew also greeted Jiang Xia from afar, and most of them nodded at him, only Guo Zhilong glanced at Jiang Xia, and then continued to arrange for others to work.

Do you have any work to do now? Yes, not much.

The start-up ceremony was scheduled at eight o'clock, and now there are only ten minutes left, and if there is still a lot of work to be done, it will definitely not be able to catch up with the time. This is a gesture deliberately made by Guo Zhilong, it seems that he is very busy, so as to avoid greeting Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia chatted with Fang Ye for a few words, Jiang Feng also came over to say a few words to Jiang Xia, and the rest of the actors also came over to say hello more or less.

Every actor here was named by Jiang Xia one by one at that time, and when he saw Jiang Xia, he naturally wanted to come over to say hello.

Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Xia didn't go to the venue to help arrange it in the past ten minutes, and the whole ceremony of starting up and worshipping God didn't seem to have anything to do with him, but he was indeed the nominal head of this play.

The ceremony began soon, and there were media following him, Jiang Xia frowned when he saw it, he still didn't like to contact the media.

"Let's go, go over. Although Jiang Xia frowned, he still said to the actors around him.

Cheng Xin was also on the set, but she didn't come out early in the morning, and after eight o'clock and let the middle venue out, she walked over from a distance with two female bodyguards and a secretary.

Every time Jiang Xia saw Cheng Xin wearing professional clothes, she felt that her short hair and professional clothes were really beautiful. She seems to be able to show the fierce and decisive strong woman temperament from her bones, and the whole person exudes a cold taste.

Before the opening ceremony, there must always be some scenes to say, it should have been Jiang Xia who said these words, he is the director and screenwriter, and the whole movie is his work, which is deeply branded by him, but Jiang Xia didn't go.

The scene was said to the media who came to watch the ceremony, and Hengying regarded "God of Gamblers" as a big bargaining chip for this year's Chinese New Year, so he naturally wanted to hype it up.

Although the meager headlines in the past two days are Jiang Xia and Xiang Ying's, Hengying's promotional photos of "God of Gamblers" are also being released day by day, the first day is Fang Ye's back, the second day is a photo of Jiang Feng holding a playing card, the third day is the gambling king Chen Jincheng, and the fourth day is ......

The online publicity is a bit tepid, and the headlines change too quickly, and it is difficult to stabilize the headlines.

Comparatively speaking, the propaganda of traditional media has become the main force, and the power of traditional media cannot be ignored, even in this era of national Internet, traditional media is still a powerful force.

Because Gongshan Studio has Jiang Xia, it does not cooperate with the media, and it is also a newly established small company, so it does not have enough power in traditional media, and it has not been able to take the initiative to grasp this channel, and it has been passively exposed. Hengyu Pictures is different, not to mention the energy accumulated by the two companies that were the predecessors of Hengyu Pictures, that is, just talking about Cheng Xin, with her name, can call on a lot of traditional media.

The eldest lady of Hengyu Group, a huge business empire, no traditional media dares to ignore her, as soon as she heard that Cheng Xin was the filmmaker herself, she didn't need to make much effort from Hengyu Pictures, so she let these media come to report on "God of Gamblers".

Just looking at the reporters who came to the scene, saying that it was a blockbuster with a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, people believed it, and the total cost of 30 million yuan could call for so many media, and Cheng Xin had this energy.

The media are looking forward to Jiang Xia speaking on stage, after all, they have never interviewed Jiang Xia, if Jiang Xia is speaking on stage, they can ask questions, which is also a disguised interview. In the eyes of the media, Jiang Xia is the planner, screenwriter, and director of the whole film, and there is no reason to let others go on stage, so he can only come.

However, at the beginning of the opening ceremony, the media was disappointed. They watched Jiang Xia come over with a group of actors, and then An An stood on the side, like a spectator, watching the performance on the stage, and finally it was Wei Xiadong, the head of publicity, who came to the stage to speak.

Cheng Xin also stood aside, at this time it was not time for her to speak, she was the last to speak, Wei Xiadong was followed by the production director Wu Ang, and Wu Ang was after her.

Wei Xiadong spoke a few words on the stage, answered a few questions, and stepped down amid applause.

Wu Ang said less on stage, and gave up the entire stage to Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin said a few more words, and then the media asked questions, answered two questions, and completed the first procedure.

This is part of the propaganda, the reporters are all invited and stuffed with red envelopes, so the questions asked are also prepared in advance, and the answers are also standard answers.

Jiang Xia looked at the two groups of people on and off the stage, as if he was talking about cross talk, and finished the first cross talk.

Then comes the main event, the real worship of God.

Jiang Xia is not a director of Xiangjiang, and he doesn't attach importance to this link, but he can't stand the fact that the crew is all from Xiangjiang, and he attaches great importance to this link, so he can only go up as if he was fate, light three sticks of incense, and insert them on the table.

The reporters are all filming this scene on the sidelines, and when they turn back to the news report, they need to have screenshots or videos, and they don't know which ones they will use when they go out on location, so they can only record them all faithfully.

After Jiang Xia finished worshipping God, she was followed by Cheng Xin, who was the producer and the second most important role in the entire crew. After that, there are some department heads of the crew, one after another, and finally the actors.

Waiting for the worship ceremony to end, it was officially turned on, next to the camera covered with red cloth, Jiang Xia and Cheng Xin shouted "321" and dragged the red cloth silk down, revealing the 3D camera placed below.

At this point, the whole boot-up ceremony can be regarded as a serious end. Don't think about filming in the morning, so many media reporters are here, if you don't interview the actors, it's impossible for the actors not to rub the news, and when they finish the interview, they can have lunch.

Cheng Xin left directly after the start-up ceremony, and didn't say a word to Jiang Xia the whole time, and rarely even looked at Jiang Xia, which made Jiang Xia can't help but think of what You Fangfei said, is it really jealous? )
