Chapter 256: Martial Arts Film
"The reason why I made this "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is because I want to set a benchmark for martial arts TV dramas in the film and television industry, a benchmark for kung fu martial arts dramas!"
Benchmark?
At this moment, everyone looked at their young director plus boss plus starring in shock!
Being able to have a unique directing style in the entertainment industry and set up a benchmark for his own style is definitely a master-level director, no matter how they look at Yang Ming, he doesn't look like a master-level director.
It's not going to be a mouthpiece!
Some actors and some staff members looked at Yang Ming with suspicious eyes, and there was gradually a little muttering around them.
"Hehe!" Yang Ming smiled lightly, calm, lightly knocked on the table with his fingers, looked around with a little stern eyes, quieted the surroundings, a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "I want to ask everyone, which is the highest-rated TV series this year?"
- Shhh
People around me feel toothache!
It's a pity that before they could react, Yang Ming continued to stimulate them and said: "Which TV series is currently ranked second in this year's annual ratings?"
Hearing Yang Ming's words, some people who didn't turn their brains asked the people around them: "Which is the second-ranked TV series?"
"The second part of "Meteor Garden"!" the person who was asked said angrily.
The second part of "Meteor Garden" has been broadcast on Yanjing TV, and the final highest rating reached 6. 9%, lower than the ratings of the first part, and there are countless scolding arguments, but it is undeniable that this is a sequel TV series, and the ratings make the senior management of Yanjing TV very, very satisfied.
After a period of whispering and discussion, everyone now knows that the second in the annual ratings this year is the second part of "Meteor Garden", which means that the TV series that ranks first and second in this year's annual ratings are all from the hand of the teenager in front of him.
When everyone thought of this, the eyes that looked at Yang Ming immediately changed from one to the other!
No matter where you are, as long as you have strength and achievements, you can gain the respect of others, and this kind of truth can be used everywhere.
Yang Ming didn't continue to sell Guanzi, his eyes tightened, his expression froze, and he said seriously and solemnly: "At least the first and second TV series this year are all filmed by me, and the novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was also written by me, so I am full of confidence in this TV series, no matter when!"
The people around them felt a toothache again, they forgot that Yang Ming was still an author, at this time, they couldn't help but think of Yang Ming's other identity, and couldn't help but think that all the songs of this TV series were arranged by the one in front of them.
This has a criminal record, just think about "Meteor Garden"!
"You are all carefully selected by me, and you are the actors who I think can perfectly interpret their respective roles, in my eyes, even if you are a king, even if you are an actor, as long as you don't match the role, I will never use it, so, everyone, in my eyes, you are the best candidates for your roles, even if the king actor comes, it's useless!"
"Everyone, these media news reports, I guess everyone has seen them!" Yang Ming picked up a stack of newspapers and threw it on the table, and said loudly: "You are all in the entertainment industry, if you believe what the media says, then the sows will also go up the tree, according to them that our crew doesn't have to shoot now, and the matter is disbanded, in fact, I can afford to lose this money, but are you willing? Ask yourself, are you willing?
"No one can succeed casually, no one can climb to the status of the king in one fell swoop, the kings and actors are also slowly climbing from various small roles to their current respective status, the brave wins, everyone, do you work hard with me to overthrow them, or now you are escaping from the crew in disgrace, and you will always bear the name of my inferiority!"
After saying this, Yang Ming took a breath, then looked around, waiting for everyone's reaction, originally he thought that it was an acquaintance or Su Su around him who came out first to express his position, but he didn't expect Zheng Bolin, an old actor, to stand up first.
"I'm afraid of a bird, they're actors, we're also actors, and we have Yang Ming, a director who can shoot the first in the annual ratings, I'm afraid of a hair, we won, that's what we earned, we lost, and no one said anything!" Zheng Bolin said with a big grin waving his fists.
"That's it, I'm afraid of hair!"
"That's it!"
Driven by Zheng Bolin, the feelings of other people in the crew were all driven and developed in the direction that Yang Ming expected.
Yang Ming glanced at Zheng Bolin meaningfully, this old fritter who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, no matter how old he is in and out of the play, his intentions are explained in his last sentence, as actors, they don't have to bear too much pressure.
Compared with the extravagant cast discharged by Baoli Company, if "Smiling Proud Jianghu" wins, they will indeed make a profit, and if they overturn this group of TV series with many stars, they will definitely become famous;
Therefore, for their actors, no matter whether they win or lose, they will not have a loss, it is completely a sure win!
"Okay, then let's fight and overturn them, let our TV series step on each other's corpses, and become the No. 1 TV series in the annual TV series ratings next year!"
Yang Ming made a final decision and shouted loudly!
At this time, everyone's feelings were driven by Yang Ming, and they all shouted behind the first mouth, or it was the declaration of killing the other party.
Even Su Su and Chen Meijia, two beauties who don't talk much, were flushed with excitement, waving their little fists and talking non-stop.
Seeing the low morale of the crew before, now it was swept away, Yang Ming sat down, waited for everyone's mood to calm down, and was ready to start arranging work, Zhao Sheng, who was sitting next to Yang Ming, quietly gave Yang Ming a thumbs up.
Yang Ming smiled indifferently, he didn't have much self-satisfaction, he had seen a lot of this kind of thing to control the atmosphere of the crew in his previous life, and after being honed by two TV series in this life, now he is doing it with ease.
Next, when everyone's feelings were stable, Yang Ming began to arrange various matters of the crew in an orderly manner, and with Lao Chai, an experienced all-rounder, behind Yang Ming, to help him fill in the gaps, the crew's every matter was prepared without leakage.
After a while, the filming location and the actors with makeup were already in place!
I saw Yang Ming holding the microphone and shouting loudly: "The lights and cameras are all in place!"
"The first scene of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" begins!"
"Smiling Proud Jianghu" officially started filming.
In the past two days, the filming of the literary drama part was very smooth, and Xiang Jin and Liang Zhidan were a little idle, and by the third day, there was finally a martial arts part!
"Senior brother, I want a set of sword tricks that are more fancy and elegant!" On the sidelines, Yang Ming made his request to the two senior brothers.
"Fancy and elegant?" asked Jin with a frown.
"Well, that's good!" Yang Ming nodded.
Before filming this TV series, Yang Ming and Xiang Jin and Liang Zhidan have already communicated with each other, and this time he is going to shoot a martial arts film similar to a new martial arts, the action in it can't help but be elegant, and the action design must be whimsical!
This kind of whimsical creativity, there is no need to spend energy on the two senior brothers Jin and Liang Zhidan, they only need to design specific martial arts tricks!
For example, what posture should the sword move Bai Hong Guanri be.
There is Feng Laiyi, and what kind of action should it be, this needs to be designed by the two of them!
What Yang Ming needs is just posture, not the kind of kung fu that punches to the flesh!
Yang Ming has studied the current martial arts kung fu films in this world, and in this world, martial arts films and kung fu films have not been completely separated!
In fact, martial arts movies and kung fu movies are completely different things!
The difference between martial arts films and kung fu films is more subtle, although the latter is born from the former, but it pays more attention to the action elements of martial arts itself, pays attention to "real" in action design and aesthetics, and does not use or uses less stunts. At the same time, kung fu films focus on the fight itself, and are slightly inferior to martial arts movies in terms of cultural connotation and artistic sentiment. Martial arts films pay more attention to the "chivalrous spirit" and feelings.
According to Yang Ming's understanding, the biggest difference between martial arts films and kung fu movies is that in martial arts films, every stitch and thread, every flower and leaf can kill people!
In his previous life, Yang Ming thought that the martial arts films made by director Tsui Hark were the most elegant, and they could best reflect the concept of "chivalry" in the hearts of Chinese people, as for Ang Lee's "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger", Yang Ming didn't appreciate it very much, because he always believed that Ang Lee was made for foreigners, not for Chinese people.
Therefore, Yang Ming's current "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is to copy Tsui Hark's style, flying flowers, fallen leaves, needlework, iron hooks and even bare hands can kill people, the maturity of Weiya technology and the use of elegant aesthetics, the sword qi in the novel, light body skills, etc. have a very perfect visual display.
As long as this effect is filmed, even if Baoli Company invites all the kings and actresses in China, it will not work to join the crew of "Jianghu Heroes", and how many people will die!
Before, Luo Tianwen said that he was just a cameo, Yang Ming was glad for his decision, fortunately he was not the protagonist, otherwise he would have died even worse!
That TV series is destined to become a stepping stone for the new martial arts style benchmark of "Smiling Proud Jianghu"!
At the request of Yang Ming, the crew of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" applied various hanging technology to the actors, and at the same time, they were very curious, can kung fu TV series still be filmed like this?
is completely different from before, and many actors began to worry about Yang Ming's new martial arts filming.
Yang Ming didn't explain much, just said lightly: "We are reforming, you can rest assured!"
They can't see the effect of this new shooting method now, and these shots still need to go through post-processing and special effects in order to have the elegant vision of those classic martial arts films in the previous life!
As the days passed, the entire crew of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was filming in an orderly and tense manner, time passed quickly, and the scenes on the exterior of Huashan were soon filmed, and the next scene was Songshan!
