Chapter 267: The Things That Happened to Be Filmed (Part I)
The main plot of "The Sunflower Treasure Book of Smiling Proud Rivers and Lakes" revolves around the martial arts cheats "Sunflower Treasure Book", so the name of the first movie is just right.
The mysterious theft of the "Sunflower Treasure Book" hidden in the palace, the chief eunuch of Jinyi Wei suspected that Lin Zhennan did it, so he bought Zuo Lengchan to secretly verify it, which opened the prelude to the heroes from all walks of life killing each other in order to win the "Sunflower Treasure Book". The eldest disciple of the Huashan faction, Ling Hu Chong and his junior sister Yue Lingshan, were involved, and later found out that the master Yue Buqun was a hypocrite. In the final ending, Ling Hu Chong was awarded the Dugu Nine Swords by Feng Qingyang and defeated Yue Buqun, but because of this, he saw through the red dust and decided to return to the rivers and lakes with Yue Lingshan and all the senior brothers.
The plot is not too complicated, but the ups and downs reveal the complex human nature and bloody rivers and lakes one by one, which is a rare good movie and a work of conscience.
The addition of high technology has made the audio-visual effects of movies more and more shocking, but the plot has become weaker because of this, and even many movies are special effects for the sake of special effects, regardless of the plot. The plot is fragmented, and there are countless clouds and fog. If there is any special effects blockbuster that has done a good job of the plot in addition to the special effects and told a story to the audience, then this special effects blockbuster must be a very blockbuster, and there is no pressure at all at the box office to collect hundreds of millions of dollars around the world; And the word-of-mouth of this movie is certainly quite good.
So before filming the two-part film series of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Stephen Zhao explained to director Zhao Xiaogang that he had to tell me the story no matter what.
Speaking of which, Zhao Xiaogang's qualifications and abilities are not enough to control a special effects blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million, and he has only independently directed one season of "Never Expected", a "Legend of the Condor Heroes" and a TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu"; However, these are not big problems in Stephen Zhao's view, how can you train a director without spending some money?
What's more, Zhao Xiaogang also served as an assistant director in the crew of "Painted Skin". I have had a long communication with the great director Chen Xin, and I believe that he will not be disappointed this time.
Zhao Xiaogang was moved, but the pressure was great.
The two-part film series of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", each of which is an investment of more than 100 million yuan, and Stephen Zhao also said that he could continue to add it, which made him, a director who has only independently directed three TV series, almost gray hair. Every day, the food is not fragrant, the tea is not good, the food is not fragrant, and the people are obviously thin.
In order to be able to make the two movies better, Zhao Xiaogang invited his friend Ge Chuan to serve as the assistant director, a director with a high reputation in the TV field, who became popular with the hit drama "Burning Youth", and last year set a ratings record on CCTV with the Republic of China drama "House Gate", and the current work is compiled in the Huaxia TV Drama Center.
Stephen Zhao agreed. It's just a pity that I can't sign Ge Chuan to the company.
"Lao Zhao, you can start ......" On the filming set, Ge Chuan, who was ready, shouted towards Zhao Xiaogang's position, and then stared at the machine he mastered.
"All units have paid attention, now shoot the first scene of the first day, okay, action!" After shouting to the end, Zhao Xiaogang waved his right hand down heavily. It seemed to tear apart all the obstacles in the filming process.
Stephen Zhao stood at the rear of the crew, calmly watching all this.
I've always worked as a chief producer. Now he is able to run a crew smoothly very well, and he knows all the processes well. Although the scene in front of me is exciting and exciting, as long as you think of the troubles in the future for more than half a year or even a year or two, you will lose your mood.
The laborer is the most glorious, but the laborer is also the most painful.
Stephen Zhao thinks that he can only be regarded as half a laborer. Or it can't be said that the laborer is not able to endure too much suffering, and after a while and a half of labor, he must rest happily.
The analysis and co-ordination of a crew can be divided into a production team, a director group, a photography group, an art team, and a recording team, with as few as dozens of people. There are nearly 1,000 people, which is a complete system, and if there is any link, the crew will not be able to carry out or seriously delay the construction period.
Stephen Zhao is the chief producer and producer, so he has the power of life and death for everyone in the film crew of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but he doesn't have the idle time to stare at every place, which is too inefficient, his job is to control important personnel and ultimate financial power.
Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people!
Master important personnel, such as production directors, on-site producers, directors, assistant directors, male and female leading actors.
The ultimate financial power, in addition to personally controlling a large amount of income and expenditure, must also control the production director, because the production director is responsible for giving money. Every expense of the crew, how much to spend and how to spend it, all need to be watched by the production director. The chief producer is the CEO, and the production director is the CFO.
"Hey, why didn't our Bingbing come? Didn't she say that she was the heroine of the movie? Zhao Xingchi was pondering, an abrupt and sharp female voice sounded in his ears, he looked back, and saw Xue Ying, the second middle girl, glaring at him angrily, as if he had made some unforgivable mistake.
Zhao Xingchi was stunned for a while, and it took a while to understand who "our family Bingbing" was in her mouth, and couldn't help frowning: "Don't you know that the movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is a two-part series? Zhou Bing is the heroine of the second part, and now she is filming the first part. β
Kang Xueying asked in a shrill voice, "You dare to lie to me?" Do you believe that I asked my dad not to do business with your family? β
"Don't do business with my family? Are you sure you can convince your dad? Zhao Xingchi asked with a smile, he was not angry at all about the question of this middle two girl, and some were just deeply pitiful.
"You're not a good thing either!" Kang Xueying was furious, waving her hands with her teeth and claws, and her long snow-white nails reminded Zhao Xingchi of Mei Chaofeng's "Nine Yin White Bone Claws".
With that, she turned and left.
Zhao Xingchi snorted, didn't hold her, only said coldly in the back: "Waste, get me how far away, go back and suck your father's blood!" β
Kang Xueying turned her head suddenly, looked at him with fire-breathing eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not a waste!" β
Zhao Xingchi sneered: "Is it a waste that is not said by mouth, but by making!" Also, don't you want to like Jiang Gehuan? You don't have any ability like this now, why do you like people? β
Kang Xueying laughed angrily: "Your agitation method is too naΓ―ve. Also, who do I like about you? Why do you mind my business? β
Zhao Xingchi said calmly: "I don't care about you, I pity a father's love for his daughter!" Now, I'll give you two choices, one is to roll me right away, as far as you want; One is to stay in the crew honestly, don't embarrass your father, and don't embarrass yourself! In addition, you may not know that Jiang Gehuan will come here to film soon. β
Kang Xueying's face changed several times, and she still stayed after the last moment, but she said stiffly: "Don't think that I stayed to earn face, I'm not rare, I just stayed for my Jiang Gehuan Oba!" (To be continued......)
