Chapter One Hundred and Six. Crazy (4th Watch)
Jin Yong was patrolling around the company with his hands behind his back, when he suddenly heard a loud noise. Jin Yong's brows furrowed.
As the chairman of the board of directors of Ming Pao, Jin Yong has always adhered to the rule of law of "clear rewards and punishments" for the management of the company, but as for the so-called "human etiquette", Jin Yong does not respect it much. This in itself seems to be in conflict with his admiration for Buddhism. But in fact, in Jin Yong's view, doing knowledge and engaging in management are two different things, and different methods are needed. To put it more simply, he is like the "black and white" in his novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu", like a crazy idiot. Engaging in management is like "let me do it" inside, ruthless.
You need to know: mercy is not in charge of the army, it is a taboo in management!
So when Jin Yong heard that the company was in a mess and didn't look like he was on duty, he was angry.
With his hands behind his back, Jin Yong went home directly and entered his director's office. Then he beckoned the secretary to come in and said, "Call that editor Sun!" ”
The secretary went out, and after a while, Editor Sun took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and knocked on the door respectfully and came in. Judging by his expression, it is estimated that he has already learned the reason for Jin Yong's anger from the secretary.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cha, I've kept you waiting!" Editor Sun wiped his forehead again.
"Don't be nervous, sit-!" Kim Yong motioned for him to sit down.
Only then did Editor Sun sit down boldly, he knew a lot about the media tycoon in front of him, known as "Confucianism", and he seemed to be kind on the surface and didn't care about anything, but in fact he worked rigorously and was even more strict with his subordinates.
"Do you know what I called you for?" Jin Yong took a soft sip of tea.
"What I know - the reason why the employees were noisy just now was because Chen Xiaoxiao said that it was her brother Chen Xiaotang, who was an actor in wireless, who wrote "Xun Qin" - that person also played Ouyang Ke in the new version of "Shooting the Condor"!" Editor Sun said cautiously.
""Searching for Qin"? Ouyang Ke? Jin Yong frowned, and suddenly said, "What is the situation of this novel serialized now?" ”
"What? Oh-" Editor Sun couldn't figure out what the boss meant, so he said truthfully, "This novel was not very good at the beginning, the author's writing was average, but it was a good idea, but as the serialization progressed, more and more people liked this novel, and the newspaper alone received thousands of letters from readers." ”
"Thousands? What do you say? ”
"Most of them are urging, and there are ...... who ask about the follow-up storyline"
"Hehe, interesting, really interesting!" Jin Yong suddenly laughed, seeing that editor Sun was puzzled, Jin Yong smiled and said: "You should know that when "Ming Pao" was in a recession, it was I who wrote novels to support it, and I didn't expect that after so long, "Ming Pao" once again became a concentration of readers' letters. But because of another novel! It seems that I have lost my eyes, and in addition to the gimmick of that novel, it has extraordinary potential! ”
Editor Sun was surprised, you must know that after Jin Yong sealed the pen, in addition to the newly rising Wen Runpress, it was rare to praise his peers, not to mention that he was still a novice...... There was a plan in his heart, so the editor Sun asked cautiously again: "Mr. Cha, then are we going to do something?" ”
Jin Yong smiled: "What do you say? We run a newspaper, and what we need most is to break the news, and the news! ”
"I understand, Mr. Cha, I'll do it right away!" That Sun edited it thoroughly.
Jin Yong nodded, and the editor bowed and left.
Jin Yong took a sip of tea, tapped the table with his fingers, and suddenly, said, "Chen Xiaotang?" Very interesting young man! ”
……………………… Xiangjiang Shaw Brothers Cinemas, the set of "New Dragon Babu".
After the revised script, it is very different from the original script, it is estimated that even if Jin Yong and his old man read it, he will not recognize that this is his own martial arts work, to put it bluntly, this play basically just selects the characters and structure in "Tianlong", but the story has been greatly adapted. is like "Tianlong Babu: Tianshan Tong Ma" filmed in his previous life, but only selected an episode in it, and then adapted it into a new martial arts story.
The adapted story mainly tells the story of "Murong Fu" who was smart and sensitive from birth, but he had to take on heavy responsibilities, like Hua Wujian in "The Peerless Twins", although he is the pride of the sky, he is not happy, and only when he is with his cousin Wang Yuyan can he understand what the joy of life is. It's a pity that when he grew up, this tragic son had to make a painful choice between the great cause of restoration and perfect love...... In the words of director Xiao Sheng, he wants to shoot a martial arts romance film, transplanting Shakespeare's tragic character "Hamlet" to Murong Fu, with a comedy beginning and a tragic ending.
Because the adapted script was too big, Xiao Sheng even had a conflict with the New Century Film Company, which invested in the filming of this drama, but in the end he still persuaded the person in charge, saying that it would be either a classic or a bad movie!
This great director Xiao Sheng, who deserves to be known as a gold medal director and gold medal producer, is familiar with filming this kind of martial arts drama. He is especially good at grasping the emotional scenes in martial arts stories. As a traditional martial arts film, love has always been just the cream on the cake, but Xiao Sheng has to try his best to change this. In his opinion, a pair of childhood sweethearts and women can have more room to play in terms of feelings.
Compared with director Xiao Sheng's self-confidence, others need to rearrange their scenes, integrate into the role, and dig into the depth. Among them, Chen Xiaotang's role has increased too much, and it is easier to say some martial arts scenes, after all, where is his skills, but he is a little nervous about the grasp of emotional scenes.
According to the newly changed script, a scene about the first meeting between the hero and heroine Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan started filming soon.
In the bamboo forest, Murong Fu, played by Chen Xiaotang, is dressed in white and practicing swords. Bamboo leaves fell one after another and spread to the ground.
Suddenly, there was a coquettish laugh from the side.
"Who? It hasn't come out yet-" "Murong Fu" thought that someone was spying on him practicing, which was a taboo in martial arts, so he flew up in the air and stabbed his sword at the source of the laughter.
The camera changed, and I saw a shadow flashing from behind the emerald green bamboo, and a peerless face showed a frightened face.
Seeing that the tip of the sword was about to stab the extraordinary girl in white, Murong Fu suddenly turned his wrist, and the long sword stabbed past the woman's shoulder, piercing the bamboo, and the bamboo broke in an uproar.
Seeing that the fallen bamboo was about to suppress the woman in the alluring city, Murong Fu stopped her slender waist with one hand, and flew up, both of them were fluttering in white, spinning and landing in the sky above the bamboo forest.
Then the eyes of the two looked at each other affectionately, and Chen Xiaotang, who played Murong Fu, suddenly laughed.
There is no doubt that Chen Xiaotang is very talented in martial arts, but he is still a little less skilled in filming such an affectionate love scene, otherwise he would not laugh. Helplessly, director Xiao Sheng had no choice but to shake his head and signal that the scene of "four eyes facing each other" had been refilmed in the end.
Fortunately, Chen Xiaotang was very competitive, and he didn't laugh again during the second shooting - Chen Yulian, who played the opponent with him in his arms, pinched the flesh around his waist fiercely - how could poor Chen Xiaotang laugh, and he had to make a very happy and romantic affectionate appearance...... Next is a martial arts drama, in order to get the secrets of the Wang family, Wang Yuyan played by Chen Yulian was chased and killed, and the killers who followed Chen Yulian flocked to the top and scolded Chen Xiaotang to make way. Chen Xiaotang didn't know how to look at it, he just looked at Chen Yulian stupidly, and easily defeated the killers in one fell swoop. For this scene, the design of martial arts is very interesting, Chen Xiaotang's infatuated expression is very romantic and true, and the emotional performance is perfect, Chen Xiaotang's interpretation completely achieves the effect required by Xiao Sheng.
What follows is naturally the dialogue between the hero and heroine, and the lines of the script are also well designed, and the shooting is easily completed. It is worth mentioning that Chen Xiaotang has a good grasp of his feelings, and he has recovered from his gaffe to his original unruliness, but his words and deeds show a deep sense of proportion hidden from his feelings, which makes Xiao Sheng applaud.
For the sensational style required by the film, this scene is completely qualified, and Xiao Sheng is also satisfied, Chen Xiaotang and Chen Yulian's expressions and eyes have completely reached the depth of "love at first sight", not just a simple plot transition, their performance, anyone who watches it will feel that it is a combination of golden boys and girls.
So, Chen Xiaotang, who is not good at acting in emotional dramas, passed another level. However, Xiao Sheng was still not satisfied, and the next thing he immediately filmed was a pure emotional scene, which was also the most difficult scene he thought to grasp, he believed that as long as Chen Xiaotang could pass this hurdle, the whole film would no longer challenge him.
At this time, the plot development is that after the hero and heroine join forces to deal with several groups of enemies, they hide in a forest in the drizzle, and the two people sit facing each other in the bushes, with a huge banana leaf on top of their heads. The drizzle is blurry, and the two handsome men and beauties are alone, which is already a very beautiful artistic conception, Xiao Sheng and the photographer did not waste it, and filmed this scene beautifully, which can be called the ultimate beauty. In such a beautiful artistic conception, the most difficult thing to grasp is the mentality and feelings of both men and women. The plot is mainly dialogue, but the male protagonist has a burden, thinking about the plan to restore the country, and he can't fully open his heart to his feelings, he is a little confused, on the one hand, he is moved by the heroine's affection, and on the other hand, he is troubled by the mission he accepts. And the heroine has fallen into the quagmire of love and can't extricate herself, and she has the meaning that only her cousin will not marry in this life, it is in this situation that Chen Xiaotang and Chen Yulian's deductive skills are shown, Chen Yulian's situation is relatively simple, she has completely entered the play, she doesn't have to pretend to be affectionate, Chen Xiaotang's mood is very complicated, but with the acting skills he learned from Qin Pei and other old-timers, as well as the experience accumulated when he played tricks, he still successfully completed his role and interpreted that contradictory psychology to the core.
As a result, a scene with a beautiful picture, but the relationship between the people in the play is weird, and the atmosphere is a bit mysterious.
"Okay, great." As soon as he filmed the whole scene, Xiao Shengxian couldn't help but applaud loudly: "Chen Xiaotang, this scene fully shows your talent, but it's a pity that I don't shoot literary films, otherwise I would definitely find you to film." Looking at his happy appearance, it seems that Chen Xiaotang acted really well.
Chen Xiaotang was still immersed in the plot, responded casually, and waved his hand like a fly, which was an answer to Xiao Sheng. The people present couldn't help laughing when they watched this scene, even Chen Yulian couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Sheng himself shook his head and smiled, this Chen Xiaotang was simply "crazy".
