Chapter 31: Under the Battle
"Senior Brother Lin, you and Lewis had a wonderful fight just now, is your kung fu really self-taught?" Xu Jinglei asked curiously, in her eyes, Lin Yuquan is like a mystery, not only opened a film company at a young age, but also serves as a director, screenwriter, starring and action director, how can a person be so powerful, since her debut, she has been called a talented girl, but compared to Lin Yuquan, it really dwarfs, and now every time he thinks of the scene when he met for the first time, he feels incredible.
"Well, I just practice it casually." Lin Yuquan said casually, of course he couldn't divulge the secret of a cultivator's memory, in the past, when Xiao Yang and the others asked him, they could only just find a reason to go over.
"Hmph, can you be so powerful in practicing by yourself?" Zhen Zidan snorted dissatisfiedly, Xu Jinglei and Ning Hao and Xiao Yang may not feel much of it, but as a person who practices martial arts, he knows Lin Yuquan's strength, and he is definitely one of the strongest people in his known range to defeat Lewis, and he knows better what kind of hard work it takes to achieve his kind of Cheng DΓΉ, of course, he also knows that this kind of thing is definitely not suitable for delvein, it is related to the mystery of Lin Yuquan's martial arts, people who learn martial arts have always cherished their own martial arts, and they will never teach them to outsiders, so he turned his mouth and asked: " To be honest, I've always wondered how you invited Lennox. The three Lewis came to China to make a movie? It stands to reason that even if they want to make a movie, they shouldn't choose a Chinese movie, is it to spend money? β
"It's definitely not money, I remember that Yuquan seems to have sent something to Lewis and them, and the key should be inside." Ning Hao shook his head and said, he accompanied Lin Yuquan almost throughout the casting, so he naturally knew the details, if it was a high salary, it would definitely be discussed and announced at the meeting, and the only thing that Lin Yuquan decided by himself was that when he sent things to Lewis and others, he sent them directly.
"Yes, Yuquan, you never told us about it, what is inside the mystery!" Xiao Yang also asked with great interest.
"Guess." Lin Yuquan's smile was unusually bright.
Who could have guessed that?
Zhen Zidan and Xiao Yang both looked at him speechlessly, Ning Hao closed his lips tightly, his eyes rolled from side to side, as if he was thoughtful, and Xu Jinglei kept guessing with interest.
"Stop, I said Senior Sister Xu, can you guess more reliably?" Lin Yuquan looked at the interested Xu Jinglei helplessly, although she was over thirty years old, but in some ways she was still like a little girl like Wang Luodan and Liu Yifei, which was both likable and a headache, lest Xu Jinglei guess again, he said the answer directly: "Actually, it's not that complicated, my method is quite simple, I just sent a video of me practicing martial arts, saying that I can help them improve their martial arts level, so they came with a daze, after I fought with them, they immediately agreed to act, It was only a symbolic salary of $100,000. β
This salary is really not high, although it is placed in China, only near-line movie actors can get it, but in foreign countries, with the price level of foreign countries, it is nothing, just like spending 100,000 yuan to invite Yao Ming, a basketball star who is playing on the NBA Rockets, to star in a movie, it is definitely a low price, which is equivalent to friendship starring.
"You're amazing!" Zhen Zidan patted Lin Yuquan's shoulder and said appreciatively, but then again, this method can only be made by Lin Yuquan himself, and it must not be copied, after all, where do other directors have the strength to defeat the three of them, and they can also give them guidance and help them improve.
The other three also had expressions of amazement.
"Brother Zhen, if Senior Brother Lin also used this trick on you at that time, would you agree to take a salary cut to act?" Xu Jinglei couldn't help but ask curiously.
For actors, the salary is extremely sensitive, and it is never reduced based on personal preferences, otherwise you will receive 500,000 yuan for this play, and 3 million for another play, will the director and producer of another play have no opinion? Why are you so high in my place, is my play necessarily not a good show?
And the actor's agency and agent are also unwilling, after all, the actor's salary is directly related to the income of the company and the agent, unless it is a top director like Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou, after starring, the actor's fame and value can be greatly improved.
Of course, there is no brokerage company and broker by himself, and Zhen Zidan does not have a brokerage company, and he has always taken care of it by himself.
"Hehe, it will definitely be, but unlike the purpose of Lewis and others, Lewis wants to improve his competitive level, and I am first an actor, and then a person who practices martial arts, what I think is that this director has such a strong ability, and he will definitely be able to make this kung fu film very exciting, and in the case of being optimistic about the good results of "Huo Yuanjia", the price reduction is of course nothing." Zhen Zidan said with a smile.
"Brother Zidan, you think so, it seems that I made a big mistake this time, I knew that I would do it, your salary is the highest among all actors, I will definitely save a lot of money by doing this." Lin Yuquan pounded his chest exaggeratedly, looking like he regretted not being at the beginning.
Zhen Zidan didn't sell it at all, and said with a bright smile: "Who made you only see me as a star and an actor, I regret it now, it's too late." β
"It's okay, I still have the next movie, if you don't give me a discount, I'll have to find someone else." Lin Yuquan put away his exaggerated expression, and said with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
The smile on Zhen Zidan's face suddenly froze, and Xu Jinglei and the three of them burst out laughing.
After a short break for lunch, the crew soon started filming again in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, Lin Yuquan needed to shoot the battle between Muslim Abdulaev and Machii Xun.
In Lin Yuquan's conception, the most exciting scene in the film is Huo Yuanjia's four battles, and except for the nameless and nameless ones that took place in the martial arts arena, the remaining three were all held in the ring, not only these three, but also the battles between the northern masters and the British wrestlers and the Japanese swordsmanship masters also took place in the ring, so Lin Yuquan deliberately arranged these battles and the corresponding stunts and special effects to be filmed today and tomorrow.
In fact, this is also a shooting method commonly used in movies and TV dramas, basically the current shooting sequence is roughly divided into three types, one is to shoot according to the advancement of the plot, but this is mainly applicable to a single shooting scene; The second is according to the scene, that is, the often said venue, when shooting across regions, all the shots of a certain venue are often filmed, and then the location is changed, which is mainly because the crew of the film and TV series is huge, and it will take a lot of time and money to transfer to the scene, which is not conducive to the cost of shooting, so the corresponding venue shooting will be arranged before the start of filming, and a work order will be sent to each department in advance, listing the number of scenes filmed the next day and the work tasks of each department; The third is to consider the schedule of the actors, which is mainly for big-name actors or actors whose schedules may conflict, for example, if Li Lianjie really shoots "Huo Yuanjia", because the schedule conflicts with Luc Besson's "Danny the Wolfdog", he will focus on filming his scenes, and then shoot other shots.
Lin Yuquan didn't have the problem of actor schedule in this shooting, in addition to saving shooting costs, he wanted to figure out a way to stimulate several actors involved in the fight, so that they could compete and be competitive, so as to achieve a better battle effect, no one who studied martial arts wants to be compared to others, even if the strength is not as good as the other party, he will do his best to show his best side, because no one can afford to lose that person.
When he came back from the lunch break, Lin Yuquan immediately carefully told Muslim Abdulaev and Machii Xun, and after the two basically understood his requirements and the precautions for their respective performances, the afternoon shooting officially began.
And this arrangement, sure enough, had a remarkable effect, and was well received by Lin Yuquan and Lennox in the morning. The impact of Lewis's fierce battle, the two of them almost used their lives for this period of time, and after Lin Yuquan's guidance, they have already improved their respective housekeeping skills, making the battle quite hot.
In fact, it will also be a serious test for Lin Yuquan, because with Muslim Abdulaev and Machii Xun playing at full strength, he will have to deal with it carefully and strive to show the blood of the battle to the extreme.
It's really the consequence of the battle is naturally extremely easy to get injured, and it's okay to fight against Muslim Abdulaev, because the opponent uses fist and foot kung fu, and it didn't cause him much damage in this regard, even if the plot requires it, some scenes that require punches to the flesh are also under his exquisite control, all of which are hit in the parts that have been treated in advance, and they are closed with one touch, because there is protection, it only hurts a little, and it will not hurt.
But it's different from fighting with Machii Xun, because Machii Xun uses swordsmanship, even if he uses high-fidelity props, if he accidentally touches it, the consequences are still quite strict, and after filming with Machii Xun, he was stabbed or cut in several places on his body, but fortunately, his reaction speed is super fast, not too strict.
To Lin Yuquan's satisfaction, after special arrangements, not only did the three Lewis show their unprecedented level, but even Wu Jing, Zou Zhaolong, Fan Shaohuang and others, who were actors the next day, almost fought to act, all of them played at a super level, which made the applause on the set continue.
Even Zhen Zidan, who had already finished filming, repeatedly asked Lin Yuquan to reshoot it, which gave Lin Yuquan a headache, so he had to promise to shoot again after his injuries were all healed.
