Chapter 190: Differences of Opinion
One is still the old saying, what kind of Lao Tzu teaches what kind of son, Guan Shan himself is obsessed with the life of flowers and wine, after the divorce, his girlfriend has changed wave after wave, the youngest is a few years younger than Guan Zhilin, and it is normal for Guan Zhiyi to follow him.
It is not difficult to understand why Guan Shan would judge Wang Zheng with the eyes of playing with feelings, because he himself is such a value.
These are Guan Zhilin's family affairs, Wang Zheng is not qualified to interfere, she can only let the flow of things, and when she can't clean up this mess one day, it's not too late to intervene again, now that all the actors have arrived, it is time for "Plan A Sequel" to officially start.
Although the sequel continues the story background of the first part, only the pirates in the first part find Ma Rulong for revenge, and on the whole, the sequel is a new independent story.
In Xiangjiang at the end of the Qing Dynasty, public order was chaotic, and the Chinese police assistants, known as the "three rings of the town", were in cahoots with underworld gangs. Ma Rulong, who was originally a marine policeman, was assigned by his superiors to take over the West Ring Road and carry out the clean-up work of black and white. On the other hand, the Qing court sent Ouchi masters to Xiangjiang to arrest Wan Tianqing, Bai Yinghong, Shanshan and other revolutionary party members, while a group of pirates with developed limbs and simple minds wanted to wait for an opportunity to take revenge on Ma Rulong. The three people clash with each other and contain each other, forming a good show full of entertainment.
The revolutionary element in the film is a new element in the Hong Kong film industry, in addition, the sequel will continue the magical and thrilling experience of the little police detective Ma Rulong, with a series of jokes and wonderful fights, with a Hong Kong-style civilian hero.
"The corruption and incompetence of the Manchu government have impoverished our people and turned our Chinese into a second-class nation in the world."
"Cards. β
"Jialing, your tone seems too rude. Now you are a revolutionary comrade, you must use your unwilling cry to radiate the blood of your compatriots, do you know what it means to be hoarse, and start again!"
The set of the sequel is located in an old street in Yau Ma Tei, and the street is full of people, porters pulling rickshaws, newspaper delivery people speeding past on bicycles, hawkers pushing carts and hawking, and foreigners wearing sunhats and European-style long skirts.
The dispatch of so many actors is to truly restore the streets of Xiangjiang at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and even the costumes they wear are also Republic of China costumes designed by the art director.
Such a careful set layout was "stuck" here in Liu Jialing.
"Director, give me a little time, I'll brew my emotions again!"
Liu Jialing, dressed in Hanfu, looked a little anxious, today's scene is the first set of shots after the official start, but she wasted a lot of time here.
This scene is indeed a bit difficult for Liu Jialing today, Wang Zheng tried to be patient, stepped forward to demonstrate in person, and said while making gestures: "It doesn't matter if the voice is not in place, you can also dub it later, but you must highlight the excitement in your heart, you can express it with body movements, such as clenching your fists and clenching your hands together during the speech." β
With Wang Zheng's personal demonstration, Liu Jialing's performance gradually found the right direction, and after a few mistakes, she barely met Wang Zheng's requirements, but the tone of her voice had to be re-recorded later.
Outside the crowd of onlookers watching the speech, Chen Long came to Wang Zheng's side and said, "Ah Zheng, will your requirements be too high, I don't want to see the scene of being shouted by you." β
Wang Zheng smiled: "How come, Brother Long was nominated for the Golden Horse Best Actor with the role of Ma Rulong, I am very confident in your acting skills!" and then explained: "The reason why this scene is so strict is because our whole play revolves around the theme of revolution, so the opening scene must be made by the audience to feel what revolution is, and revolution is not as simple as inviting guests to dinner." β
After listening to the explanation, Chen Long nodded thoughtfully.

When Liu Jialing gradually found the right direction, the speech shooting continued, and this time the camera was no longer a close-up of her.
"Sir, buy flowers!"
As more and more passers-by watched the speech, Zhang Manyu, who played Shanshan, appeared as a flower girl to raise donations for the revolutionary cause, but few people bought it.
Zhang Manyu transformed the expression from smile to loss to smile to smile, and her interpretation is very good, among the actresses who have worked with Wang Zheng, she is undoubtedly the one with the best acting skills at present.
As soon as the camera turned, a close-up of Guan Zhilin, who played Bai Yinghong in the crowd, saw that she had cut off her long hair, and her capable short hair had a different style, at this time, she was nodding in agreement with Liu Jialing's speech, while observing the surrounding environment, suddenly seemed to see something, hurriedly left the crowd of onlookers, and whispered when passing by Liu Jialing: "There are green clothes." β
Reminded by Guan Zhilin, Liu Jialing hurriedly ended her speech, and mixed in with the flower girl Zhang Manyu in the passing crowd, and when the two green-clothed policemen arrived at the scene on bicycles, the two had already disappeared into the street.
When Zhang Manyu and Liu Jialing appeared on the other side of the street, a British four-wheeled bicycle came to the two of them, and Wang Guxian, who was wearing a long European-style skirt with a flower ribbon, shouted on the car: "Shanshan, where are you going, I've been looking for you for a long time!"
Seeing the appearance of Li Zhenna played by Wang Guxian, Zhang Manyu hurriedly took Liu Jialing to greet her, and said with a smile: "I'm going to Xihuan, what is the matter with me?"
"Of course there's something, get in the car first!" Wang Zuxian invited the two of them into the car and looked at Liu Jialing: "Why haven't I seen you!"
Zhang Manyu hurriedly introduced: "This is my cousin Qiu Ling, who just came from the mainland!"
"Next week, my dad will have a birthday party for me, and you can come along!" On the four-wheeled vehicle, Wang Zuxian sent an invitation to the two.
In order to shoot the dialogue between the three people on the four-wheeled bicycle, the props team laid a long camera track on the side of the road, and in order to create a youthful atmosphere, more than a dozen birds were placed in front of the camera.
Fortunately, none of the three people in the car had NG, except for Liu Jialing's somewhat dull facial expression, Zhang Manyu and Wang Guxian's performances were quite perfect.
In particular, Wang Guxian is not at all like a 17-year-old girl, not only does she look down-to-earth and generous, but her performance is also very natural, a European-style skirt perfectly outlines her tall figure, especially the unbearable small waist, which is reminiscent.
After the filming of the scenes in which the four heroines appeared respectively, the actor Chen Long will also officially appear, but before the start of filming, Wang Zheng and Zou Minhuai, one of the producers, had a difference of opinion.
Compared with Fang Yihua's production method that rarely interferes with the crew's filming and relies on the director's play, Zou Wenhuai has completely become a reverse contrast, not only supervising the crew's filming throughout the process, but also directly interfering when encountering unsatisfactory places.
Wang Zheng insisted that Chenlong use the original sound to record the dialogue during the filming, including the post-recording, but was opposed by Zou Minhuai.
Zou Wenhuai thinks that Chenlong's voice is too rough, and the use of the original voice will affect the quality of the film, and in the first part, all of Chenlong's dialogues were recorded by voice actors, and if it suddenly changed, the audience may not be able to accept it.
It is a big deal that the director and producer have a difference of opinion, and the crew temporarily stopped all filming, Fang Yihua became a peacemaker, and gathered Wang Zheng, Zou Minhuai, and the protagonist Chen Long in the temporary director's room, ready to persuade the two.
Before Fang Yihua could speak, Wang Zheng spoke to Zou Minhuai first: "Boss Zou, I can understand your concerns, but I still insist on my opinion, only the original voice can perfectly express the character's mental activities, and the audience will have a greater sense of substitution, and the original soundtrack movie will also be a popular trend in the future, except for foreign language films, I believe that in a few years, most Xiangjiang movies will be recorded in the original soundtrack." β
Wang Zheng's unrelenting step made Zou Wenhuai a little unhappy, and patiently persuaded: "Director Wang, maybe you are right, but the box office results of the first drama have already proved that the audience absolutely accepts dubbing, so why should we take the risk of using the original sound." β
Wang Zheng was also very unhappy, and laughed: "If I understand correctly, Boss Zou thinks that the first 19 million box office is a good result, but if so, I dare not agree." β
Wang Zheng's laughter made Zou Minhuai's unhappiness completely explode, and he asked coldly: "If 19 million is not a good result, then how much does Director Wang think is the box office?"
Wang Zheng didn't care about his cold words, stretched out three fingers and said: "If Boss Zou doesn't interfere in any matters of the crew, I guarantee that the local box office in Xiangjiang will exceed 30 million, and if it can't be reached, I will make up the rest myself." β
As soon as Wang Zheng's voice fell, Fang Yihua and Chenlong, who had not spoken out, gasped, and there has been no sequel work that can surpass the first one at the box office in Xiangjiang's decades of film history records.
is also a Shaw Brothers employee, Fang Yihua couldn't sit idly by and watch Wang Zheng's righteous dispute, and hurriedly persuaded him: "I think what Boss Zou and Ah Zheng said makes sense, I think it's better to add the original sound and dubbing to the production process, and then discuss which version to use after the finalization." β
Wang Zheng knew that Fang Yihua was thinking about himself, and said with a slight smile: "Aunt Sixth doesn't have to worry, as long as Boss Zou agrees not to interfere with the shooting, my guarantee just now will be valid." β
Looking at Wang Zheng with a calm face, Zou Minhuai began to hesitate, unable to figure out why he was so confident, and after a while he said: "If Director Wang really has so much confidence, what does it matter if I quit the production team." β
Seeing that Zou Minhuai was about to give in, Wang Zheng changed his somewhat sharp tone just now, and said with a smile: "Boss Zou doesn't need to quit the production team, as long as he doesn't interfere with any of my shooting decisions, I can guarantee that Golden Harvest Film Library will add a film with a box office of 30 million." β
With more and more movies produced in Xiangjiang, the audience's demand is also increasing, constantly refreshing the box office record in Xiangjiang film history, which also means that the golden age of Xiangjiang films is slowly approaching, with the memory of his previous life, Wang Zheng has absolute confidence to get 30 million box office.
Golden Harvest so far, the highest box office is still the 22 million box office maintained by Chenlong's "Fast Food Truck", if there is a possibility of a 30 million box office film, whether Wang Zheng can do it or not, Zou Minhuai also wants to give it a try, he finally decided to quit the production team and no longer interfere in the filming of the crew.
