Although from the title of the play, the selection of materials to the selection of actors for the main roles, the outside world has a lot of doubts and disfavorables about "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", and many TV stations have been discouraged, or have taken the opportunity to lower prices. However, this qiē did not affect the sincerity of cooperation on Nanguo Satellite TV in the slightest.

The huge success of "The Shadow of Ping" and the pleasant experience of working with Deng Zheng and Jiang Zhipeng made the senior management of Southern Satellite TV quite confident in this duo.

The film purchase agreement has been preliminarily drafted, with a total of 32 episodes, with a basic purchase fee of 1 million yuan per episode, plus a new version of the "VAM agreement".

The floating increase in the purchase fee in the new version of the "VAM Agreement" is 0.1 for every time the benchmark rating is exceeded, and the purchase fee for a single episode will increase by 100,000.

Because the show will be broadcast next year, the benchmark ratings used for reference are the average prime-time ratings for the whole of this year, which has not yet been counted, and it is estimated that it will be around 1, which is a lot higher than last year's 0.737. This is also an important reason why Nanguo Satellite TV agreed to increase the floating increase.

The day before Deng Zheng went to attend the dinner of the Northern Media Group, the "Shengshi Hundred Flowers" TV Festival, one of the three major TV festivals in China, was held as scheduled. Deng Zheng didn't go over, Jiang Zhipeng, Fan Jia and others went together.

As the TV series with the highest ratings and the most topical this year, "The Shadow of Ping" won a total of seven nominations: "Most Popular Actor Award", "Most Popular Actress Award", "Audience's Favorite TV Drama Actor Award", "Audience's Favorite TV Drama Actress Award", "TV Drama Best Director Award", "Best TV Drama Award of the Year", and "Best Screenwriter Award".

But in the end, only Deng Zheng and Fan Jia won the "Audience's Favorite TV Drama Actor Award" and "Audience's Favorite TV Drama Actress Award", two chicken rib consolation awards that need to be ranked alongside others.

The most important awards went to other companies.

Thereinto. Mr. You Zichang won two important personal awards, the "Most Popular Actor Award" and the "Best Performing Arts Award" for his wonderful performance in "Song of the Long Wind".

Deng Zheng didn't expect to win the award at all.

So although Jiang Zhipeng has repeatedly emphasized. The "Audience's Favorite TV Drama Actor Award" that helped him get it back has a lot of water and low gold content, but he is still very happy. After all, this award is automatically received by the top three voters of the audience, representing the audience's true love for Cheng Dù.

In his opinion, this is more meaningful than the professional award given by the so-called expert jury.

The most important location in "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, but now it is deep winter, and it is too cold there, so I didn't go over, so I shot in Fangzhu Film and Television City first.

Fangzhu Film and Television City is much larger than Yuanming Film and Television City. It is currently the largest film and television shooting base in Asia. There are more than a dozen film and television shooting bases spanning thousands of years of history and time, bringing together the characteristics of the north and south regions, and several super giant modern studios.

There are not only palace buildings and natural environments that the crew needs, but also a Taoist building imitating Zixiao Palace in Wudang Mountain, which can be used to shoot parts involving the Wudang faction.

Although Deng Zheng did not have specific shooting and performance tasks, as an investor, producer and chief producer, and the author of the original work, he still followed the crew to Fangzhu.

After joining the group, he doesn't have to worry about anything else, and he can't worry about anything else. He started the work of martial arts design.

Qi Ye has another appointment, and the martial arts instructor who came over this time is Qi Bao, Qi Ye's second disciple. Before he came, the master had taught him and told him countless times: when facing Mr. Jin Liang, he must treat him as if he was a teacher, and learn things from others.

He wondered in his heart. What can a young man in his early twenties understand, and he still wants me, a person who has been practicing martial arts for more than 30 years and has eaten martial arts for more than ten years, to learn from him?

But less than three days after joining the group, he was completely convinced. And not only him. Ma Gui was also completely dumbfounded.

Actually, if you follow the foundation of traditional martial arts. Qi Bao and Ma Gui are definitely better than Deng Zheng, especially Qi Bao. The ranks are all professional level seven, and Deng Zheng is only level three.

But the foundation is the foundation, and how to better apply it to martial arts dramas is not the same thing at all.

The artistic conception and style of martial arts dramas are very important, and the design ideas of martial arts need to be whimsical and eclectic, and they must serve the characteristics of the characters and the plot...... It is still very different from the martial arts routines and martial arts methods of daily training.

Qi Bao didn't understand until this time, no wonder Master Qi Ye was able to shoot the martial arts action of "Ping's Trace" so freehand and sensational in the industry, and his brothers and sisters desperately wanted to know the trick, but the master just refused to teach. I thought that the master had an epiphany and his realm improved by leaps and bounds, but it turned out that he really benefited from the guidance of this Mr. Jin Liang!

In fact, it's not that Qi Ye refuses to teach, it's just that he hasn't summarized it after filming, and he really can't teach it now.

Although Qi Bao is ignorant, he understands one thing, it turns out that the master is right, when filming martial arts dramas, "designing actions" and "designing action pictures" are really two different things.

Deng Zheng is actually still exploring.

He also learned about the special terms and techniques of these filming because he had been pondering, discussing, and discussing with Qi Ye and Jiang Zhipeng during the specific filming of "Ping's Shadow", and he had some experience on how to design martial arts actions and how to better present them with lens language in the future.

In order to make "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" show the best effect in martial arts, and in order to form his own professional martial arts team as soon as possible, he did not hide anything from Qi Bao and Ma Gui, and taught them everything.

On the evening of the first weekend of joining the group, after dinner, Deng Zheng went to the place where Qi Bao and Ma Gui lived as usual to discuss the martial arts design of one of the main characters, and when he walked to the door, he found Qi Bao and more than a dozen martial artists he brought sitting together, with solemn expressions, as if they were raising money.

"What's wrong?"

Qi Bao replied: "A colleague suffers from muscular dystrophy, which is not enough money to treat it. The big guy is discussing raising some money for him and responding to emergencies. ”

Deng Zheng nodded and motioned for him to come out.

Qi Bao followed him outside, and Deng Zheng asked, "Didn't you buy insurance?"

Qi Bao smiled bitterly: "Our profession is a high-risk job, and we shoot war scenes all day long, either standing on the city tower and jumping down, or riding a horse and falling into the pit." How can there be an insurance company to cover us, the reason is very simple: Wu Xing will definitely be injured, and this deal is not cost-effective. ”

Deng Zheng was stunned.

He knew that martial arts on the earth in his previous life were very hard and dangerous, especially in the Hong Kong film industry in the seventies and eighties, it is said that the injury rate of martial arts was more than 50%, and for martial arts, falling and beating were simply commonplace, injuries, **, muscle atrophy, and even death were the risks and costs that this type of work must bear.

Many martial artists came out in their teens, did not study any books, and did not have the concept of saving money, took a daily salary, either ate and drank, or gambled, and the money was spent, not thinking about the long-term. When they are in their fifties, or even in their thirties, they can't fall, and some people want to drive a taxi, but their lumbar spine is broken, and they can't sit still for three hours, so how can they drive a taxi? So the only thing they can do is to go to the building to work as a security guard and as an administrator.

It's good to be able to do this.

But he really didn't expect that the martial arts in this world would be so bitter!

Because the kind of martial arts in Hong Kong in the previous life is very different from the martial arts in this world. Those martial arts in Hong Kong, skills, weapons, boxing, cars, power, fire, substitution, and miscellaneous, must be able to do everything and dare to do it.

Although there are action movies in this world, they are limited to police and bandits, wars, spies, gangsters, and a small number of fights, and there are no two major classifications of martial arts and kung fu, so they are basically some gunfire, flying cars and other stunts, and that type of work is not called martial arts, it is called stuntman.

The martial arts of this world basically only appear in history, assassinations in ancient costumes, and large-scale war scenes, and most of them are about attacking cities and grabbing land, and fighting in battle formations.

Seeing Deng Zheng's doubts, Qi Bao sighed:

"It's much better now, my master debuted at the age of eighteen, he was doing martial arts at that time, and he was not allowed to wear protective gear on the set, shooting a shot of the enemy attacking the city, and the soldiers fell down from the height of the arrow, and the ten martial arts were lined up there as a backup, the first person was broken, the second and third had to be followed, and the ambulance was waiting next to it, and if it was broken, it was sent directly to the hospital. ”

Deng Zheng frowned: "Why?"

Qi Bao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "For the sake of face." Everyone is a martial arts practitioner, and if you wear pads and use cardboard boxes for protection, some martial artists will say, "Oh, what school are you from, why are you so useless?" For the sake of face, everyone can only fight hard. Not to mention the ordinary small martial arts, even if it is a senior in the industry like my master, sometimes I have to go into battle in person. I have a deep impression that a few years ago when I made a historical war movie, a martial artist stood on a high slope and didn't dare to jump down, and the master shouted: "You can't jump?" ”

"Is there no industry association that can protect rights and interests?"

"There are those who do gunfire and explosive stunts. There are few people in our industry, and in recent years, the competition in the film and television industry has been too fierce, many companies are cutting expenses, and there are fewer and fewer movies and TV series that require war, equestrian, and killing scenes such as history and ancient costumes. As soon as people's hearts are scattered, there is a lack of cohesion and leadership. ”

Qi Bao said, remembered something, and laughed happily: "But Mr. Jin Liang, after the success of your "Ping Trace", many martial arts dramas have been launched recently, and our industry is obviously better mixed, and our salary has also risen." It's hope, but it's not just that this craze is gone. Alas, it's a pity that the muscular brother can't catch up with this good time. ”

Deng Zheng is also a person who practices martial arts, and he looked very sad, took out his wallet, took out all the cash, and handed it to Qi Bao: "Brother Bao, a little heart." It's not enough to ask me for it. Rest assured, this industry will only get better and better in the future. (To be continued......) R1292
