Chapter 72 Preliminary Preparations

"Secret Service Academy: Ace Agent" will be co-starred by Zhang Xiaoye and Chen Long, and the director has no intention of hiring another person, and the two are also co-directed.

Of course, most of the work will still be given to the more experienced Chenlong, and he is mainly responsible for the control of the story, which has been laid from the beginning of the script, except for the blank space for the fight scene, he has written all the shots clearly.

Even if there is a successful performance with the camera, this is still a thorough Zhang Xiaoye work, not Chenlong's work.

When the script was written, he and Ye Qianwen felt that there was no problem and put it in front of Chenlong, Chenlongzi read it carefully, and said with a smile: "Yezai, I have been filming for so many years, and there are not many opportunities to contact such a detailed script." ”

The real Chenlong works, the whole crew has to revolve around him, he has to intervene in everything, it doesn't matter what the script is, it has always been how he wants to shoot, before Zhang Xiaoye appeared, he couldn't just point fingers and could only be an actor alone, that is, "Killer Trench", these Western films invested by Golden Harvest.

"Brother Long, although there is no script, although it is free, this is not a good habit, not to mention the inefficiency, it is easy to derail the story. Zhang Xiaoye's habit is the opposite of Chenlong, he thinks that it is better to polish the script and then shoot according to the script than to think about how to shoot it temporarily.

Chen Long said: "If the script is good enough, of course, it is still the best, in fact, it is mainly because there are not many people like you in Xiangjiang at present, and they are not filming around the script in the first place." ”

"Brother Long, what do you think of this script?"

Zhang Xiaoye had told him the general plot before, but now he just showed all the details again, he asked Chen Long and smiled: "I'm not as good as you in the script, but it is certain that it can definitely achieve the effect you want, and that is enough." So the question now is, besides the two of us, what other actors do we need?"

"If the heroine is the heroine, I want Li Shafeng to come, I said when I filmed Mr. Zombie before that I had the opportunity to cooperate with her, and now I am starting to fulfill this promise, and the other characters are still Brother Long, you can think about it, I don't have any good ideas. ”

Zhang Xiaoye first finalized Li Shafeng, saying that she was the heroine, but there were still not many scenes, and the story and the male protagonist did not develop a plot that the audience liked.

"Li Shafeng, I know, it's a pretty little girl, it seems that she is only nineteen years old this year. Chen Long squeezed his eyebrows when he heard this, revealing an expression that all men understand.

"It's pretty beautiful. Zhang Xiaoye also admitted it with a single eye, after all, this guy is not a good person, if he is not hypocritical, he will do it first, it will be a tragedy.

Chen Long was not surprised by this at all, looking at Zhang Xiaoye and still feeling like a bosom friend, he said with a smile: "Okay, then Li Shafeng's side will be handed over to you to be fully responsible, and I will look for other roles, and I will inform you when the time comes." ”

Zhang Xiaoye nodded and said, "Brother Long, don't forget the props, this can't be sloppy." In addition, you have to find a special effects team, preferably Hollywood, Xiangjiang doesn't have anything like this at all, and it's also troublesome. ”

Chen Long joked: "Don't worry, Jiahe has always been in contact with Hollywood, it's not difficult." I will also ask the props team to start preparing immediately, your checks have arrived, how can you still let these things be stumped, now you are waiting for my good news. ”

It's easy to set up a crew, Chenlong can pull people up in a day through Golden Harvest, and the set props are the top priority in the preliminary preparation, especially for such a type of movie, the props and sets are especially important.

The British have always advertised themselves as gentlemen, and this movie also shows the so-called gentlemanly demeanor to the fullest. In addition to the various high-tech equipment used by the agents themselves, suits, leather shoes, umbrellas, and watches are all standard.

The reason why Zhang Xiaoye chose Chenlong is also inseparable from these elements, if he is changed to Hong Jingbao, no matter how he dresses up, he will not look like a gentleman, and the social boss is almost the same.

Maybe Xiangjiang has other actors with a more gentlemanly temperament, but the role requires a sense of humor in addition to this, which happens to be Chenlong's talent, and there is only one Chenlong who can do these two things.

Chenlong himself started by relying on witty martial arts, and he also relied on this to conquer the world, but in this movie, Zhang Xiaoye has to urge him to be as restrained as possible, the movie needs to have a sense of humor, but it can't be as exaggerated as in his movie.

In essence, this is a work that pretends to be handsome, and if it is made into a comedy, it will be a mess.

It takes a lot of thought to get the preliminary preparations, and the props team also has to keep an eye on it himself, and also achieve the effect he wants, and during this time, he can arrange the next things, and he will be too busy when it is time to shoot.

First of all, you need to have enough manuscripts, otherwise the novel can't be taken care of, then you can only break it, and you can't find someone to ghostwrite it, although Jin Yong and Gu Long have done this, especially the latter, this has become the norm, but he is not ready to follow suit.

There is also to write songs for Ye Qianwen, this is very simple, but you have to think about yourself and Ye Qianwen in the long run, after all, the inventory in your brain is limited, if you take out the classic songs that are suitable for Ye Qianwen in three or two clicks, what will you do in the future?

Therefore, even if there is no drama "Ace Agent", even if Zhang Xiaoye continues to be her producer, she can no longer handle all the songwriting, otherwise it will be embarrassing when she can't get the work out of the inventory.

There is no need for this, no matter how awesome a singer is, it is impossible to make every album and every song a classic, and there are singers who have not been able to call a classic work from singing for N years to retirement in later generations.

As long as you make sure that Ye Qianwen can have a few classics on each album, this is already very remarkable, and it is not difficult to do this, so you should still give other songwriters some opportunities, and maybe you can give birth to other classics that he doesn't know.

If he comes alone, all of them are classics, and it is easy to empty the inventory, and adding some songs that are not classics will destroy the image of all his products being high-quality products, and he can't make it any way.

After careful consideration, he came up with two songs for Ye Qianwen this time, "Blessing" and "Once Heartbroken", the former is Cantonese and the latter is Chinese, which also takes into account the Xiangjiang and Taiwan markets.

Whether it is for movies or pop songs, Taiwan is now like a Xiangjiang ATM, a market that no one wants to let go, and the benefits that can be brought are too great.
