Hongshi Gorge in northern Shaanxi, the crew of "East Evil and West Poison" has been filming here for two weeks, and every actor is miserable, why? Because many actors don't understand what the film "East Evil and West Poison" is about, it can be said that they are confused, they just shoot according to Chen Ge's requirements.

However, compared to many times in his previous life, even Director Wang Da himself didn't know what to shoot, Chen Ge in this world at least knew what effect to shoot. So although many people are ignorant, at least the progress is not slow.

In the previous life, many people couldn't understand "East Evil and West Poison" at first, and when it was released in theaters, the audience scolded because they came to see Jin Yong's martial arts blockbuster, but who knew that what they watched was a group of people in the desert, sleepwalking and muttering to themselves without knowing what to say.

However, although "East Evil and West Poison" is difficult to understand, it is a timeless classic. Even "Journey to the West", which was born from it, has a similar fate to it. "Journey to the West" was not accepted by people at first, it was released in 94 and failed at the box office, and it was not until 1997 that it began to circulate in mainland universities and the Internet and became popular rapidly.

In fact, comparing the two films, it is easy to find that Ouyang Feng has become the supreme treasure, White Camel Mountain has become the Water Curtain Cave and Pansi Cave, and Murong Yan and Murong Yan have become Zixia and Qingxia.

The song that just opened is the same as the soundtrack of the scene of Zixia's death in "Journey to the West", both of which are "The Lonely Shadow of Heaven and Earth Let Me Go". There is such a dialogue in the contest between the blind swordsman played by Tony Leung and another swordsman:

Blind Swordsman: "I shouldn't have come here!" ”

Swordsman: It's too late for you to regret it! ”

Blind Swordsman: Do you want to leave one hand behind? ”

Swordsman: "No, you have to stay, leave your life behind!" ”

This right? The final ending of Duan Zhenghe and Journey to the West is very similar.

Sunset Samurai: "Looks like I shouldn't have come." ”

Reincarnated Zixia: "You don't know until it's too late. ”

Sunset Samurai: "Can you make some memories?" ”

Reincarnated Zixia: "I don't want to remember, if I want to, I'll leave your people......"

Chen Ge has the deepest understanding of the charm of the evil and the poison of the east, and the influence of the classics on people is often the same as that of the aged wine, the longer the time, the more the taste is felt.

At this time, it was break time, the actors were sitting together and talking, and Chen Ge was sitting here alone in a daze.

"Director!"

Chen Ge looked up.

Liang Chaowei threw a bottle of water over, "Director, are you thinking about the plot again?" ”

Chen Ge smiled, nodded and said, "There are some places that haven't been thought about yet. ”

Liang Chaowei didn't speak, he knew Chen Ge's character, nodded and turned back.

Chen Ge looked at Liang Chaowei's back, at present, the addition of Liang Chaowei and Liang Jiahui is the one thing he is most satisfied with, Lu Liang has been in the circle for so many years, and his connections are really extraordinary, and even these two actors can shout, so that he is more confident to shoot the evil and the west well.

On the other side, after Liang Chaowei walked back, Liang Jiahua asked, "How is it?" ”

Zhang Xueyou also looked at him.

Liang Chaowei said: "How can it be, I'm still thinking about the plot." ”

"Director Lu, the actors have not been in the right mood recently." Liang Jiahui said to Lu Liang next to him.

Lu Liang nodded, "I know." ”

Liang Jiahui said: "You should know what I mean, in the past two weeks, there is almost no plot in the clips filmed, and even a little confused, of course Chaowei and I are fine, but if you look at other people, it is almost a little unclear So, some actors have begun to say that it is inexplicable." ”

Lu Liang looked at the desert and said, "The idea of a genius is a madman many times. ”

Liang Chaowei and Liang Chaowei know what this sentence means, others may not be able to see Chen Ge's specialness, but during this time, they already know what kind of person Chen Ge is, whether it is in terms of director or acting skills, Chen Ge is an absolute genius, from the beginning Chen Ge and Liang Jiahui were immature in the play, and now this immaturity is not very obvious, almost every second is improving, sometimes the illusion given to Liang Jiahui is that he is playing with an old drama bone.

Zhang Xueyou said: "I'm not particularly professional in making movies, but I'm very confident in watching people, and Chen Ge is absolutely no problem." ”

Lu Liang stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks, "I'll go over and take a look." ”

Chen Ge found Lu Liang coming over, "Director Lu, what's wrong?" ”

"I'll come over to see you, how is it, is this time considered a habit? As a starring actor and a director, I feel tired of your workload. ”

"Tiredness is secondary, I'm just afraid that I'll waste this good script."

"It turns out that you also have times when you are not confident."

"Of course, I hope it's not a simple movie, but a movie with a soul of its own, but if you look at our actors, basically everyone is retreating now."

"Actually, I think about this matter a lot, when I made my first movie, I also met many people with such eyes, but in the end, I found that the results are not bad, no matter what the situation is now, when the results come out, everything will be understood."

Chen Ge smiled, "Don't worry, you don't have to comfort me, I just express my feelings, I will definitely finish the filming, and it will definitely be filmed." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Ge stood up and clapped his hands, and shouted loudly: "Okay, let's start filming!" Wait for Zhang Xueyou's turn to appear! ”

is different from the young gang leader who is known as the most handsome, chic, snow-white, and clean gang leader in the beggars of all dynasties, Hong Qi in this is dirty, just came out of the countryside, didn't even eat, squatted under the broken wall, and didn't move for a long time.

“action!” With Lu Liang's shout, the camera began to rotate, and in the shot, Chen Ge said with a smile: "Do you know why I invited you to dinner?" ”

Hong Qi, played by Zhang Xueyou, said with a wooden face: "I don't know! ”

Chen Ge said: "Because I know you're hungry." Actually, I've been paying attention to you for a long time, and I saw you squatting under that broken wall, and you didn't move for a long time, and I don't look like you're sick. I've seen a lot of young people like you, and if you know a little martial arts, you think you can run rampant in the world, but in fact, it's a very painful thing to go through the rivers and lakes. Knowing martial arts, there are many things that can't be done. You don't want to plow the fields, do you? You don't have the shame to rob, and you don't want to show up on the streets, how do you live? If you are strong in martial arts, you have to eat. There is a profession that suits you very well, which can not only help you earn some silver taels, but also do chivalrous deeds, are you interested? You, think about it, but be quick, you know, you're going to get hungry soon! ”

"Cut, too!"

The whole film can be said to have no plot to speak of, and it is full of such extremely philosophical dialogues and long monologues. In his previous life, this drama dragged on for two years, and because of the schedule, the scenes of these stars were filmed extremely scattered, and only his brother had time to spend time in the desert with Director Wang, and as a result, he became the only person who could connect the whole film.

In fact, the original purpose of the filming of "East Evil and West Poison" was a commercial martial arts blockbuster, but it is a pity that although director Wang Da considers himself a commercial film director, he is going farther and farther on the road of literary films, and it can be regarded as a lost harvest.

In the previous life, after Director Wang completely overthrew the initial role, all the scenes that were filmed for 30 days were abolished, but for Chen Ge, there was no such serious waste problem.

Therefore, although the filming of "East Evil and West Poison" is slow, it is not much different from the shooting of ordinary movies, and most of them are remade again and again because of the actors' acting skills.

Even the performances of several actors in the Liang Dynasty and Wei Liang's family have been shouted NG many times by Chen Ge.

Although Chen Ge will not yell like some other hot-tempered directors, he has a firm attitude, and often decides that there is absolutely no room for retraction if he decides to do it again, Lu Liang thinks that it is okay, and after a long time, Lu Liang also found that Chen Ge's shot of NG can indeed be better every time he decides, so he doesn't say anything more.

"Director Lu, I finally admire the person you chose now." In between shooting, Chen Ge gave Lu Liang a thumbs up.

"Liang Chaowei and Liang Jiahui, the two predecessors, simply played the roles of East Evil and North Beggar, I believe that the next Hong Kong Film Festival, there will be a place for the two of them."

As the filming of "The True Color of Heroes" came to an end, Chen Ge really admired Lu Liangcai.

During this time, there were many problems during the filming process, and Chen Ge had no way at all, but most of them were solved by Lu Liang in the end, and it seemed that he had made the right move to find Lu Liang.

"It's nothing, don't rush to celebrate just yet. After filming this scene, the shooting on our side is about to start. Now, the New Year's stalls should be completely fine to catch up. ”

"As I said that day, when the film is finished, I will set up a few tables and invite all the staff and actors to have a good meal. After all, this is my first work as a director. ”

・・・・・・

・・・・・・

With the passage of time, "East Evil and West Poison" is not far from completion.

When the last scene ended, when Chen Ge finally shouted 'CUT', everyone erupted into enthusiastic shouts. This shooting was too hard. Even the veteran dramatists who have been on the battlefield for a long time have sweated.

"East Evil and West Poison" is positioned by Chen Ge as a 'literary film', but the fight scenes in it are undoubtedly very grand. It's hard to shoot, and both the actors and the crew work hard. With a budget of 20 million, under the careful consideration of Chen Ge and others, the money for post-production was finally left.

"Thank you very much for your support over the past few months!" Chen Ge clapped his hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, and continued: "Today, I just simply prepared a few bottles of champagne for everyone! I think everyone is tired now, so they should rest well when they go back. The day after tomorrow, I will hold a "East Evil and West Poison" finale party for everyone!! ”

"The director is domineering ......"

The strange screams and shouts of a group of staff made Chen Ge and others cry and laugh.

And at this moment, everyone finally got a chance to breathe. Chen Ge's heart that he had been holding on to was also put down a lot. The rest is all trivial things in the later stage. After processing, he can look forward to the release of his first film directed.

Two days later.

The main hall on the second floor of the Lisa Hotel is full of people today.

In order to hold this grand finale party, Chen Ge did not hesitate to charter the entire Lisa. This is also the first time that Hong Kong has held a so-called 'finale reception' at the end of film shooting.

All the crew members of "East Evil and West Poison" have arrived, and the gate of Lisa Hotel has become a sea of flowers. In addition to the flowers sent by some companies, many of Chen Ge's friends such as Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xingchi also sent flowers in their personal names.

In the main hall on the second floor, there is also a huge red banner - the filming of "East Evil and West Poison" is over, and the camera is turned off for a reception. As Chen Ge's first movie, Chen Ge recently stated that "I Went to School 2" is on the air again, which is full of topicality, plus some publicity, so many reporters in the media industry also came to the scene.

For this reason, Chen Ge was also willing to set up two tables for these reporters. If nothing else, it should be to thank them for 'sparing no effort' to promote "East Evil and West Poison". Whether it's negative or positive, in the end, only the quality of the film can determine the audience's reputation.

In addition, some people even sent a filming crew to broadcast live. This is a win-win situation for Chen Ge or them. "Chen Ge, it's a big deal! The finale cocktail party was broadcast live, but the publicity fee for "East Evil and West Poison" was saved! ”

Lu Liang gave a thumbs up and said with sincere admiration.

Chen Ge smiled undeniably: "It's not like I'm going to invite someone to come. It's people who come to the door themselves! "Oh?"

"What do you think!" 'Finale Reception', which film company has held such a reception. All I can say is that the people who host the live stream do have an eye! Not only did they get a lot of hits on the Internet, but they also promoted their software well. Chen Ge's face was red, and he said with a smile: "We don't suffer any losses, in short, "East Evil and West Poison" is definitely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." ”

"It really is! I think that in the future, many film companies will copy our model and hold a 'finale party'! Lu Liang looked at Chen Ge with blazing eyes.

・・・・・・

・・・・・・

"Whew! If I don't come again, you people will still want to leave me a little no. Just when everyone was staggering, Liang Jiahui's refreshing voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, and Liang Jiahui and Liang Chaowei stood side by side. For a while, everyone burst into laughter. "You two are here. If you don't come back, I'm ready to ask the waiter to pack one for you! Chen Ge got up, pulled the Liang family to his table and said, "Don't say anything else, let's punish yourself three cups first!" ”

No one knew that Liang Jiahui would come today, because they are usually busy and rarely participate in these activities.

Everyone started to heckle. "Chao Wei and Jia Waving, it's not interesting for you not to drink some today." "Yes, if you're late, you'll have to punish yourself three times first!"

Liang Jiahua, who was instigated by everyone, could only smile, and then drank it all. When the glass was put down, everyone applauded. There were even a few guys with good deeds who deliberately shouted, 'Brother Wao's good drink, have another drink!' ’

Although the reporters also ate, drank and talked, of course, at this moment, they all held their cameras and pointed at these creators for a while. Such a harmonious scene, it would be a dereliction of duty to miss it!

couldn't stand everyone's coaxing, Liang Jiahua picked up a glass again and handed it to Chen Ge and said, "Director, I really can't drink anymore." How's that, for me! Let's ask the director to have a ......"

"That's right! Director, have a drink, you haven't drunk it with us yet! ”

"That's it, the young director must have a good amount of alcohol." "Director, a man can't say no, that's what you said!"

All of a sudden, the original 'flames of war' actually spread to his side. Chen Ge reluctantly took the wine glass and said, "You guys are in the Tai Chi of the Liang family, I'll drink it!" While speaking, Chen Ge deliberately gestured to the reporter with a wine glass.

"Drink the wine slowly, everyone continue to eat first!"

The whole crew is really relaxing today.

In the end, Chen Ge, as the director, naturally walked around every table to toast. Thanks to the efforts of many staff, he has become a 'good director' who can get along with everyone in the eyes of reporters.

Of course, the cameraman is carrying a machine to follow Chen Ge closely, and the Hong Kong people don't know much about the 'finale reception'. Such a good opportunity, how will they let it go.
