Chapter 63: Robbing People (Asking for Collection)

has the foundation of her parents there, and this Miss Guan's appearance naturally has nothing to say, as for her acting skills, Lin Xi didn't take this into account at all.

In another time and space, this Miss Guan has not really learned to act for more than 20 years since her debut, or she has not put her mind on it at all, so she is beautiful and beautiful, and she has acted in a lot of movies, but there are not many roles that can really be remembered.

Lin Xi didn't feel that she was obligated to help this Miss Guan correct her attitude towards her acting career, and asked her to play the heroine, purely because she felt that it would not be a bad thing if there were a few more eye-catching beauties in this play.

For filming "Chu Liuxiang" by himself, Lin Xi is ambitious. He wants to make this TV series out of the texture of a movie and become a milestone work of Hong Kong martial arts TV dramas in this time and space.

If you want to realize this idea, you must reinvent the original TV series.

In terms of the script, Lin Xi has made some appropriate optimizations, but both the original novel and the plot of this version are already very perfect, and there are not many things worth changing, so I can only start from other aspects.

There is definitely no need to think about the stunts, the things made with the current technical level must be miserable, and Lin Xi is a perfectionist, he thinks that he will either not do it, or he will do the best, and add some nondescript stunts into it, the audience who has not seen anything in the world may buy it, but Lin Xi himself will feel very awkward.

The reason why Lin Xi has such an idea is mainly because in another time and space, he has seen too many shoddy "five-cent special effects", obviously the technical level is sufficient, and the investment is also abundant, but the producer is willing to spend money on inviting all kinds of "little fresh meat" who only have appearance and no acting skills to play the starring role, and make publicity to attract attention, but he is not willing to spend a little more money to make the stunts a little more serious and decent.

When the audience watches this kind of TV series again, it's quite normal when there are no special effects, but a special effect will directly make you feel the urge to use the remote control to smash the screen.

It is not difficult to explain why there are more and more martial arts TV series that use special effects, and the investment is getting bigger and bigger, but the audience is more nostalgic for the era when martial arts TV series did not use special effects much.

Because of the limited level of special effects technology at that time, the TV dramas of that era could only find ways in other aspects, and the use of "earth special effects" such as sound, light, smoke and shadow was inevitably clumsy from the perspective of future generations, but it was the greatest sincerity that TV drama shooting in this era could give.

And those TV series in later generations, what they lack the most is sincerity.

Of course, Lin Xi hopes that the TV series "Chu Liuxiang" can still be regarded as a classic by everyone after many years, so he can only work the word "sincerity", and without considering special effects, he can only innovate in action design.

Lin Xi is a complete layman in this regard, what he relies on is all kinds of film and television works he has seen in another time and space, originally he just had ideas and concepts but didn't know how to implement them, and Cheng Xiaodong's appearance just made up for this.

In another time and space, Cheng Xiaodong was recognized as the "best firefighter" in the industry, Tan Jiaming filmed "Famous Sword" in the early days, and Xu Ke filmed "Sword and Horse" in the middle of the game, and asked Cheng Xiaodong to remedy it; Later, Zhang Yimou filmed "Hero" and Chen Kexin filmed "Casting Names", both of which were just in time for the film to start filming, and finally decided to find Cheng Xiaodong to save the emergency, and Cheng Xiaodong was able to hand over a satisfactory answer every time.

It must be known that rushing into battle in a short period of time is a great test of the skills of the martial arts, and among the many famous martial arts in Hong Kong, Cheng Xiaodong is definitely not the one with the most personal style, but he is the one who can adapt to the director the most, so he has a nickname called "Wild Martial Finger".

can have such a ability, which has a lot to do with the TV martial arts that Cheng Xiaodong is engaged in now.

In Hong Kong in this era, TV martial arts is recognized as a profession with no future, which is not to say that filmmakers feel that they are naturally superior and look down on people who make TV, in fact, most filmmakers start to contact this industry from making TV, if they discriminate against those who make TV because of this, it is equivalent to looking down on their own origins.

The main reason is that the cost of filming TV dramas in this era is extremely low, whether it is the salary of personnel or the investment in the production of products, it can be saved, and the shooting time is very rushed, it is often filmed at noon and broadcast at night, and the production is inevitably shoddy, and the entire industry is like this, so the martial arts who shoot TV will have a low status and have always been looked down upon.

Cheng Xiaodong is one of the "outliers", when he first entered the TV station as a martial arts finger, martial arts TV series still stayed in the way of stage interpretation, playing around in front of a very small background board, as long as the lens is long, it is easy to reveal flaws.

In the face of such simple creative conditions, most TV martial arts fingers must have the idea of making do with what they can watch, but Cheng Xiaodong is not, although he is a TV martial arts finger, he has always insisted on putting the concept of film shooting into martial arts dramas, he personally takes charge of the camera, makes props, and edits, and uses lens switching to cover up various flaws as much as possible.

This time to Li's TV selection, Lin Xi also heard from a producer that when Cheng Xiaodong was filming "Silkworm Transformation", there was a scene where a certain character held a dragon's head crutch as a weapon, but there was no such prop at all during filming, Cheng Xiaodong just stuck a shoe on a stick and asked the actor to beat it, and then covered it up a little when the camera was switched and the picture was edited in the later stage, and no one in the audience saw the flaws after the broadcast.

This maker probably has a good relationship with Cheng Xiaodong, and at the same time knows that there is an important agreement between Lin Xi and the big boss Qiu Degen, so it is inevitable that he will exaggerate when he talks about this.

Lin Xi didn't know what the real situation of this matter was, but he had seen a lot of Cheng Xiaodong's works in another time and space, and was very familiar with his style, knowing that even if there was some moisture in this matter, it would not be too far from the original truth after squeezing it out, so he decided to invite Cheng Xiaodong to serve as the martial arts instructor of "Chu Liuxiang" on the spot.

Coincidentally, Cheng Xiaodong was hesitating whether to leave Li during this time, firstly, because the TV station had been sold by an Australian consortium, and the new boss was not clear about what their "old ministers" would be; Second, the wireless side once again extended an olive branch to him.

This is not the first time that Wireless has tried to recruit Cheng Xiaodong, as early as after the success of "Silkworm Transformation", Wireless moved the idea of poaching people.

At first, Wireless just dug Cheng Xiaodong's assistant Lin Manhua over, but later it turned out that Lin Manhua's martial arts skills were only equivalent to the original martial arts skills of Wireless, and did not bring a breakthrough in the action effect of wireless martial arts dramas, so Fang Yihua personally went out to lobby Cheng Xiaodong, and promised that the price of job-hopping was several times that of Li, thinking that it was foolproof, but he was rejected.

It turned out that Cheng Xiaodong was nostalgic for the old days, and secondly, he had done his best in Li, so there was no need to go to wireless and other martial arts to grab jobs.

But this time the situation is different, Li's new owner, Cheng Xiaodong no longer needs to stick to the same place as before, whether it is from personal feelings or future development, so he also moved his mind to leave.

Lin Xi only learned about this situation a little later, and at this time Cheng Xiaodong was almost ready to negotiate with wireless, Lin Xi went directly to the door in a hurry, and did not bother to say anything, and directly offered a condition that Cheng Xiaodong could not refuse.

As long as Cheng Xiaodong helps Lin Xi shoot this "Chu Liuxiang", Lin Xi can unconditionally provide Cheng Xiaodong with a martial arts movie script, and invest in supporting Cheng Xiaodong to be the director of this movie.
