Kim Jong Ming fell asleep as soon as he returned...... In fact, he couldn't make the decision, so he rushed over overnight, and he traveled a long distance and carried things with a body of sand, and he had already accumulated I don't know how much tiredness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and now come to the hotel into his room, put down the backpack in his hand and make a phone call to take a bath, the tiredness is directly soaked out, can't be stopped!

And when I fell asleep and woke up again, it was already evening, and after eating a little, director Tsui Hark appeared with art director Xi Zhongwen, along with several crew makeup artists with a full set of tools.

"Do you have any thoughts about these two characters?" Tsui Hark seemed to be really tired, lying on the sofa when he spoke, and in the well-lit hotel room, the bloodshot at the corners of his eyes became clearly visible.

"There are a few. Jin Zhongming retracted his gaze and replied seriously. "One person with two horns...... To be honest, there must be a strong contrast, and it is necessary to grasp the characteristics......"

In the movie "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", the first actor didn't intend to ask whether it was Zhao Huai'an played by Jet Li, it is one thing to be invincible, and it is one thing for Jet Li to be in a coffee position. And the first heroine didn't intend to ask, and it was naturally Ling Yanqiu played by Zhou Xun, for the same reason.

However, in comparison, Kim Jong-myeong's role is also very prominent, which is not to say how brilliant the villain character was set at the beginning...... Rather, Jin Zhongming has to play two roles that look the same at the same time, one is the powerful Xichang Gongyu Huatian, and the other is a thief who eats by mouth. These two characters, one is the negative one, and the other can also be called one of the protagonists.

Then, the addition of the two roles together makes Jin Zhongming's status in the crew extraordinary.

"It's right to grasp the characteristics. Tsui Hark nodded. "The most fearful thing about martial arts movies is not being scolded, but being mediocre, whether the audience likes it or hates it, at least it should make them refreshed. ”

"Is this how the name Xu Laowei came from?" Jin Zhongming couldn't help laughing.

"That's right. "Tsui Hark is very generous. "I'm just about showing what makes me different...... Don't talk about this, let's talk about the characters, so where do you think these two characters should start?"

"The Wind Knife can highlight the love triangle between him and the two female thieves. Jin Zhongming replied quickly, and it seemed that he had been prepared. "Because the most brilliant thing about his role is his respect for women, which is a very beautiful gentleman's style. And then there's his cleverness and reality...... The latter two can be felt from his technique of wrapping the tightrope of his fingers and the ability of the lotus flower to be tongued. But ......"

"But?" Tsui Hark, who had been nodding repeatedly, held his chin and stared at Jin Zhongming with interest.

"But...... For the role of Yuhuatian. Jin Zhongming's tone became uncertain. "Let me put it this way, since we separated last year, you have sent me three versions of the full text script, and you have sent me a lot of storyboards drawn by you in dozens of times...... To be honest, whenever I think I've eaten up the character, I shake up again when I see something new from you...... Slowly, this character became more and more complex in my mind, and in the end, I even felt that the worldview and martial arts values presented in the whole movie were constantly adjusted...... I don't know if it's because I'm thinking too much or if you're trying to show too much. ”

"You're right to have this reaction!" Tsui Hark's answer caught Kim off guard. "I've been waiting to talk to you about the script, but now it seems that you know the characters better than I thought...... In this movie, I just want to draw a picture of the martial arts world "Qingming Riverside Picture", and then put all my own understanding of martial arts into it...... And since it's a painting, the Chinese dialect is about hiding and revealing things, so it's normal for you to keep perceiving new things in the script...... For example, politics, military, religion, race, court, opera...... All in all, just like you think!"

"Director Akira Kurosawa said that for a director, making a movie is to show the picture in his mind to everyone!" said Kim Jong-myeong. "I have a rough idea of your determination, but sir...... With so many things in one movie, can the audience understand it? Do they have the patience to watch it? And you, sir, are you ...... Are you tired or not?"

Xi Zhongwen, who had not spoken, couldn't help but glance up at Jin Zhongming, but still didn't speak.

"That's my problem. Tsui Hark pouted. "And you don't need to be responsible. And Xiaojin, let's hit it off at first sight, as a movie senior, I'll make an exception to teach you a sentence today!"

"Listen up!"

Master Xu sat up, then opened his eyes, and the shiny pupils that were reflected by the whites of his eyes stared at the young man in front of him: "Xiaojin, the value of a movie is not just measured by box office and word of mouth...... To the extreme, the box office and word-of-mouth are just some objective conditions for its birth in modern society, and it also has a natural function as an artistic carrier, and it can even be said that it can carry everything in a filmmaker's heart!"

Kim Jong-ming did not speak.

"Forget it, you just need to listen to this, it's not suitable to talk about it now. Tsui Hark turned his head to look at Xi Zhongwen, who was also bowing his head and silent, and did not mean to continue in this direction. "Now the problem is still the movie itself, let's go back to the topic, or the same sentence, the overall achievement of the movie has nothing to do with you, you play this role well...... You go on to talk about your understanding of the role of Yuhuatian. ”

"As far as I know at the moment. Jin Zhongming immediately pressed down on the floating thoughts, he pondered slightly, and tentatively gave his final answer. "I think the character of Yuhuatian should be a combination of Cao Mengde, Zhou Gongjin, and Wang Yangming in soul, heroic, arrogant, and saint-minded, plus the kind of talent that the three share in the world...... However, these three great souls can only inhabit the body of a eunuch with outstanding martial arts...... That's all. ”

"Okay!" Tsui Hark patted the case, really shot the case, and the old man patted the coffee table and stood up. "Before I met you last year, I asked another actor I liked, and he replied that Cao Cao and Zhou Yu at that time, but he didn't add another saint...... Goldie...... So the two of us hit it off at first sight! and we acted according to this feeling...... That's right, so for the image design of this character...... Do you have any ideas?"

"After all, it depends on the professional's approach. Jin Zhongming looked at Xi Zhongwen, who was sitting quietly on the side, and chuckled. "Master, you and Teacher Xi must have their own understanding...... But I have an experience that I use a lot in myself......"

"Oh?" Xi Zhongwen finally let out his first voice of the night, because he knew that this was coming to his own realm. "Tell me about it. ”

"My image is actually not very prominent, but there is one thing on my face that I am very proud of, that is, I have a pair of good eyebrows!" As he spoke, Jin Zhongming stretched out his hand and crossed his natural sword eyebrows. "And my eyebrows are so dense that I can do as much as I want...... So I think that when playing the role of Yu Huatian, the makeup must be as masculine as possible, so the eyebrows should be straight and stiff in shape, but considering his own eunuch status, he should be dyed white from the color, so that with his own feminine movements caused by physiological factors, a different kind of beauty can be formed, and at the same time his character can be reflected...... When playing the wind knife, it is completely possible to modify the eyebrows to be gentle, but the color should be prominent, so as to express his inner activities that are completely unsuitable for Yuhuatian, and can also give the audience an obvious distinction that cannot be explained but can be perceived......"

"Yes!" Without waiting for Xi Zhongwen to answer, Master Xu approved of this setting. "That's it, change clothes, put on makeup...... Let's adjust while operating! Only the three of us can be settled on the costume, starting with the makeup of the image of the factory superintendent's uniform......"

In this way, the three of them did not say anything more off-topic, but just began to set the costumes attentively.

You must know that because "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is shot in IMAX3D, the requirements for pictures and details are higher, because the background or details that can be blurred in the past will be revealed due to the 3D effect in the movie. Therefore, whether it is clothing or styling, it must be more refined.

According to Xi Zhongwen on the side, the skirt ribbons of some ancient costumes must be specially made, so that they can be more textured and realistic due to the 3D effect. It is precisely because of this that Jet Li's simple black suit has been redone three times before.

In fact, according to his estimates, Jin Zhongming is likely to not be able to shoot a scene in the first three days, this is because he, the highest-level film and television costume designer in China, needs at least three days to get Jin Zhongming's three main costumes.

If you don't have clothes, do you want to shoot naked?

In this way, it was not until after eleven o'clock in the evening that things came to a satisfactory conclusion.

Seeing Jin Zhongming take off his makeup, Xi Zhongwen and a few makeup artists were about to prepare to say goodbye with a lot of patterns and data tables.

Master Xu naturally wanted to leave, but when he got up, he couldn't help but sigh a little: "This is 3D!"

"Speaking of which. Jin Zhongming, who got up and was about to give it away, suddenly asked a question again casually. "Listen to the Korean special effects artists at CJ...... Mr. Chuckkomischi from the American side didn't come at all?"

"yes!" Tsui Hark smiled bitterly. "How can Mr. Chuck see a movie with a small investment of 30 million dollars? Our 3D team was originally just using the name of others to do publicity, but in fact, there was only one expert from Digital Domain in the United States, and he was only a teacher for us, and he was not willing to do it himself...... The main thing is still to rely on us to learn and sell it now. ”

Jin Zhongming nodded.

He actually wanted to say, 'Sooner or later, there will be a group of people in Hollywood crawling over on their knees', but thinking that this kind of emotional catharsis is useless at this time, so he swallowed the words again, and turned his mind to comfort the other party, but this time the words came to his mouth, and he didn't know what he remembered, so in the end Jin Zhongming just nodded:

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"What a hard work. Tsui Hark stopped when he heard this, and then waved his hand at Jin Zhongming. "As you said earlier, the director just wants to show the picture in his mind to everyone, but ...... You know, it's very difficult to make such images, because they are virtual, like soap bubbles and glass...... So, I couldn't help but yell out of shape...... Xiao Jin, today's events have made you laugh...... Concentrate on acting!"

After that, the great director turned around and said goodbye.

Seeing the other party behaving like this, Jin Zhongming could only close the door and sigh, and then sat on the sofa in the suite alone and was stunned.

In fact, on the way to the hotel, when Kim Jong-ming sat on the back seat of the motorcycle, he already knew a lot of things from the mouth of the field worker who gave him chicken legs. Coupled with what he saw and heard in the morning and some people's hints, Jin Zhongming already knew about the troubles faced by the crew.

First of all, of course, it was the lack of filming progress that caused me not to come, this is my own pot, and I can't get rid of it anyway.

Secondly, there are some technical difficulties.

To be honest, the realistic style of Americans is almost inseparable from Jin Zhongming, who has worked at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles since he was a child. How much can a movie with a total investment of only $30 million be used to learn technology? How can an American teach you sincerely in such a situation?

Thereupon...... This is why there will be a situation where two experienced Korean 3D special effects personnel are so valued, forcing director Tsui Hark to post a photo of the Korean flag in front of him because of a translation and communication problem, alongside the blower and the camel.

Speaking of which, don't underestimate the problem of blowers and camels, for any movie, equipment and the animals involved in the show have always been a difficult problem...... It's a chronic disease! It's a matter of course to stick it there.

In addition, there are some things that Jin Zhongming has also seen, such as...... Jet Li's question.

Of course, I can't help everyone if I didn't come, but this question was said from the beginning, but what about Jet Li?

Actually, Kim Jong-ming guessed a rough idea after a little thought -- that is, this international superstar is now less and less focused on movies for various reasons.

Let's not talk about the influence of Tibetan Buddhism on him for a long time, but in the last two years, he has become a member of the China Entrepreneur Club and a goodwill ambassador for the World Health Organization. At the same time, his philanthropic undertakings and personal investment companies are all getting bigger and bigger...... In this case, taking over the filming of this movie is more like simply giving Tsui Hark a face, after all, it is not an exaggeration to say that Tsui Hark is his benefactor......

In fact, Jin Zhongming also guessed correctly, Jet Li is planning a new cultural company with Ma Shoufu at this moment, it can't be said that he has no professional ethics for this movie, but wanting him to put more energy into it is tantamount to a fool's dream......

But then again, Jet Li is the number one celebrity in the crew, his status and influence in the crew are natural, and he has a responsibility and obligation beyond the identity of an actor. Just like the previous "Vote for Fame", didn't he rely on him to bridge the rift between Chen Kexin and Cheng Xiaodong?

Therefore, this kind of attitude of filming and leaving without a scene is acceptable for any other actor, but he can't!

Not to mention, according to what Kim Jong-ming observed, now the crew really needs a second person who can control the scene to control the scene!

Because, in addition to the objective problems mentioned earlier, the crew is actually not very peaceful internally!

And this question is very simple to say, it is the problem between Tsui Hark's personal team and PropNex!

Speaking of which, the emergence of this problem is actually natural! Think about it, on the one hand, there are people from Xiangjiang, on the other hand, people from the mainland, on the one hand, artistic as the purpose, on the other hand, economic gains as the bottom line, on the one hand, they occupy the top level of the crew, and on the other hand, they are natural middle-level of the crew...... It would be strange if there was no suspicion of this! And today's on-site conductor surnamed Wu's temper attack is the most obvious manifestation of this emotion.

But...... So but, these are actually not the most important things, because they can be overcome, and the real biggest problem, or hidden worry, is actually the director Tsui Hark.

Jin Zhongming heard this question on the way to the crew. Yu Fatty, this guy chattered to himself all the way. However, at that time, Jin Zhongming's idea was mainly derived from the perspective of Yu Dong's economic benefits, and he felt that he was living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, complaining that he was coming late, complaining about the slow progress of filming, and then wasting the crew's money...... And now it seems that it is precisely the ignorant self who really spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Then, when he saw that Tsui Hark was going to make himself a blower for the position of a blower on the set, Kim Jong-ming really seriously considered this issue.

But...... In the end, what convinced Jin Zhongming that Tsui Keli was powerless was actually when he saw the second director Zhang Zhiliang in the general control room.

Before he came, Jin Zhongming knew that there was a second director, but he didn't think much about it, because of such a big production...... But when he came to the scene and saw so many problems, he suddenly reacted, Director Zhang Zhiliang is not a cat or a dog, this is a great director! The set was so nervous that such a big director was needed to be in charge of literature and drama...... How busy do you have to be?

So, after Zhou Gongzi also made an abrupt hint, Jin Zhongming finally woke up completely. And he immediately remembered an important thing, that is, Tsui Hark's wife, Shi Nansheng and Ms. Shi, who have always been the producers of her husband's directorial works, are not here!

On the way here, the field worker's answer also verified this answer, there was no Shi Nansheng, at least the film started filming in Tianmo Film and Television City for a month, and Shi Nansheng was not seen.

Jin Zhongming immediately called Yu Dong on a phone call in the car, and Yu Fatzi's answer was just as he guessed, the couple had a breakdown, and the time of the collapse was the time when he was in the capital before...... In short, Jin Zhongming, who is a little inexplicably weak-hearted, finally understands now - the entire crew is actually supported independently by Tsui Hark.

Think about it, no matter what, all the previous problems: what didn't you come, what Jet Li didn't come, what blower, what camel, what Korean translation, and what internal contradictions in the crew...... So what? With the prestige of this great director, who is even respected by Korean special effects personnel, what are these problems? As long as he calms down and deals with them, how can he let them spread?

Therefore, in the final analysis, there is actually only one problem, that is, director Tsui Hark, the 'master' of the crew, has a problem himself - his marriage has changed, although I don't know if Shi Nansheng took away some of the team members before leaving, but just with the departure of this strong woman who has been the chief housekeeper who has partnered with him for decades, Tsui Hark is a little powerless as a director when he is in charge of the crew. What's more, this is a problematic and extraordinarily large crew!

At this time, looking back, why did Yu Dong have to tell himself again and again that Tsui Hark was the biggest problem of the crew? Because this is the truth, and he is more worried that once Tsui Hark can't hold on, the entire crew will collapse!

And the performance of Zhou Xun is actually not right.

Not to mention anything else, the strange attitude of 'only sweeping the snow in front of her own house, regardless of the frost on the tiles of others' shown by this actress during filming is actually not the professional attitude that a Grand Slam actress should have at all. The reason for this is probably because I am indignant and dissatisfied with the disappearance of the two male protagonists, myself and Jet Li? Although there are many actors in the crew, in fact, she is the only one who has the right to be angry.

However, maybe she felt that her willfulness was a little unbearable for Director Tsui Hark, who worked hard to the extreme, or maybe she just saw that the Korean actor who was absent from work and played a big name came and had a good attitude, so she suddenly reminded the other party in public out of place.

As for the purpose of the reminder, Jin Zhongming also knows it in his heart...... To put it simply, Zhou Xun should have seen the respect of those Korean special effects personnel for herself, and to put it more complicated, she also saw that she had a harmonious relationship with the senior management of the crew, and even knew that she was the second shareholder of Bona, so she was reminding herself to take responsibility for herself and share something for Master Tsui Hark.

However, as soon as he thought of this, Jin Zhongming couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Of course, he knows that as far as the communication problem of CJ's Korean special effects personnel is concerned, it is simply a matter of hand; the bridging problem between the two factions of the crew, with his identity as the second shareholder of Bona, and then pulling Yu Fat Man to reluctantly make up for it; even the organizational problem of the actors after Jet Li is absent-minded, as long as he and Zhou Xun are willing to cooperate, it is almost a certain thing......

However, just now, he obviously hinted at Tsui Hark many times just now, but Master Xu always let himself 'act first', and he also said such a declaration to himself...... In this case, if you don't act well first, what qualifications do you have to meddle in the general affairs of the crew?

Thinking of this, Jin Zhongming had a splitting headache, but he had to press his mind to sleep, and then quietly waited for the arrival of a new day.
