Chapter 331: Martial Arts Instruction

Lee Jung-sub muttered: "If even these small supporting roles have to show toughness, then the protagonists and some important characters must be even stronger!" However, training to this level is not something that can be done in a short period of time! ”

Jang Sung-won asked, "When will this drama be broadcast?" ”

Lee Jung-sub said: "It may be January 2 next year, but it may also be advanced to the end of November." ”

Zhang Chengyuan sneered: "At the end of November? Isn't that a joke? This is a historical action drama, not a love idol drama, how can it be filmed in such a hurry! ”

Lee Jung-sub said: "Of course I know this, but although I am the director of this drama, the broadcast arrangement of the TV series is not something I can say." If the TV station mandates that it be broadcast at the end of November, then the crew can only rush into battle and shoot in advance. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "If this is the case, can you still make a high-quality TV series?" ”

Lee Jung-sub said: "So I have to focus on it, I plan to maintain the shooting quality of literary dramas and weaken action scenes, after all, action scene shooting is more time-consuming and not easy to shoot well!" In this way, the quality of the shooting will be reduced, but it will generally remain at a certain level. ”

Zhang Chengyuan was unhappy, and said in a deep voice: "Director Li, you seem to have violated our previous agreement by doing this?" If he had known about this situation, he would not have taken this drama for anything. However, he also knew that Li Zhengxie couldn't be blamed for this, because he couldn't help himself, but when he was in an unhappy mood, his tone was inevitably not good.

Although Zhang Chengyuan's tone was a little rushed, Li Zhengxie was not embarrassed and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it first." Am I not discussing this with you? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "What are you discussing?" Aren't you already planning for it? ”

Lee Jung-sub looked at Jang Sung-won with a smile. "I'd like to hear your thoughts. If you have a better idea, or are sure that you can train the actors and shoot the action scenes in a short period of time, I can't change my mind! ”

For him, if he can shoot high-level martial arts dramas on the premise of maintaining high-quality literary dramas, it would naturally be the best. However, the martial arts instructor he invited before obviously didn't have this ability, so it was up to Zhang Chengyuan. If only Zhang Chengyuan could really surprise him. That's good.

Zhang Chengyuan thought for a while and said, "I have some grasp." However, it's better to find a way to delay the broadcast for a while! "Now, quitting the crew is not a good way, first, it will damage his reputation, and second, he doesn't want to give up halfway.

Lee Jung-sub said: "I'm trying to figure out a way to do this, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to do it!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan frowned and said, "It's best to be able to do it, if you can't do it, then it's troublesome." ”

Lee Jung-sub said, "I'll do my best." Still, we have to prepare for the worst. Well. Didn't you just say that you can be sure in a short period of time? Then we can give it a try. If you have any ideas or conditions, just say it, and I will try my best to meet you. ”

Let's be honest. He extremely doesn't want to see Zhang Chengyuan quit the crew, not only because Zhang Chengyuan is popular and has good acting skills, which can attract a large number of female audiences, but also because time is running out now, where is it so easy to find a suitable actor to replace Zhang Chengyuan in a hurry? That's why he put down the director's shelf and sincerely discussed with Zhang Chengyuan in order to keep Zhang Chengyuan. If Zhang Chengyuan can be retained, then even if he agrees to some conditions, it is not impossible to consider!

As for using the contract to force Zhang Chengyuan to stay, he didn't think about it. Because Zhang Chengyuan risked damaging his reputation and paying some liquidated damages to the crew, he could easily quit the crew. He was the one who was troubled.

After hearing Lee Jung-sub's words, Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Then I'm welcome." Well, number one, I'm going to be the martial arts instructor for this show! Time may be running out now, I don't think there's any need to have a competition on the shooting effect of the action scenes we discussed before, you can directly appoint me and the person you value as martial arts instructors at the same time, but the final decision is in my hands. ”

Li Zhengxie said without thinking: "Okay, I agreed to this." ”

Anyway, he didn't have the luxury of hoping how exciting the action scenes could be, and he must have thrown it to Zhang Chengyuan to toss and think nothing would go wrong. With his understanding, Zhang Chengyuan is not a person who has no ability and likes to talk about it, no matter what, Zhang Chengyuan is also a kung fu master, and he has filmed action scenes in Hollywood, which can be regarded as well-informed, plus the assistance of the martial arts instructor he selected before, let Zhang Chengyuan be responsible for the filming of action scenes, and it will not be worse than he originally expected.

Zhang Chengyuan continued: "Second, funds and equipment must keep up. In order for the martial artists to meet my requirements in a short period of time, it is necessary to ensure sufficient meals, massages, training subsidies and other necessary expenses. In addition, you can't be sloppy with the wires, protective gear and other equipment used during training, and these should also be prepared in advance! ”

"Massage fees? Are you going to ask a masseur to give the actors a massage? "Nothing else, but hiring a professional masseur seems a bit too exaggerated.

"Yes! In order to avoid physical problems, such as strains, sprains, muscle fatigue, etc., several professional masseurs or doctors need to be asked to help. Although Zhang Chengyuan himself can help the actors massage, and the effect is better, he is not so kind, and he does not have the time.

"Okay, I also agreed to these two conditions!"

"Thirdly, during the training, I need to properly manage the rights of the actors involved."

Lee Jung-sub said: "This is as it should be. ”

"Fourth...... Well, that's all for now, and I'll ask you for advice if I need it later. In a hurry, he didn't think of too many things to pay attention to.

Li Zhengxie said: "Okay, I'll wait for you to open your mouth at any time!" Seeing that the conditions proposed by Zhang Chengyuan were not very harsh, Li Zhengxie was greatly satisfied, so he simply agreed. For him, it is definitely worth it to exchange these conditions for Zhang Chengyuan to stay in the crew!

He continued: "In the future, the actor's action scene training will be handed over to you, and I will go and gather the actors and tell them about your current position." ”

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said, "No hurry." Let them keep practicing. I'd like to meet with the original martial arts instructor first! ”

"Hmm. That's fine! You wait here, I'll go talk to him first, and then bring him over. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile: "You tell him slowly, I'm waiting here, don't worry." Jang Sung-won guessed that Lee Jung-sub was going to appease the martial arts instructor.

Waiting for Li Zhengxie to leave, Cheng Youli asked, "Cheng Yuan, why do you want to be this martial arts instructor?" She didn't think that Zhang Chengyuan was not qualified to be a martial arts instructor, but that Zhang Chengyuan did not have the need. A film and television crew in South Korea. Martial arts instructor is not a very big job.

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said: "It's not for anything, I just want to design the future fight between the two of us to be good-looking, romantic, and interesting, Sister Youli, don't you think it's interesting?" ”

"Be serious! Let's be honest! ”

Zhang Chengyuan put away his smiling face and said, "Okay, I'll be honest." The reason why I want to be a martial arts instructor is to help the director shoot the action shots of this show, so as to increase the ratings and maintain my reputation as a 'ratings guarantee'. The second is to practice with this drama and accumulate experience. In order to direct an action movie or TV series in the future. ”

"You still want to be a director?"

Zhang Chengyuan nodded and shook his head again. said: "I do want to be a director, but my goal is not only to be a director, but to invest in it, direct it myself, perform it myself, and make a high-grossing movie or high-rated TV series to make more money!" Sister Youli, don't you think this is much more lucrative and more challenging than just being an actor? ”

Cheng Youli said: "Your idea is not bad, but there are not many blockbuster movies in South Korea every year, so be careful to lose money!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Sister Youli, if I fail to invest and become a beggar, then I will rely on you to support me in the future!" ”

Cheng Youli smiled: "If you become a beggar, I will kick you away!" ”

"I'll pester you, let you have to support me!"

……

When Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Youli were talking and laughing, Li Zhengxie led a middle-aged man of thirty-five or six years old to come over, about 180 cm tall, and his body was quite strong, Zhang Chengyuan guessed that he might also be born in martial arts.

Walking in front of Zhang Chengyuan, Li Zhengxie introduced: "Chengyuan, this is martial arts instructor Wen Shicheng!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan bowed slightly and said, "Hello senior! ”

Wen Shicheng looked at Zhang Chengyuan and replied: "Don't dare to be it, you are a big star, I am just a small character, I dare not let you call me a senior!" Listening to this tone, I don't know if I really dare not do it, or if I have resentment in my heart.

Zhang Chengyuan felt that Wen Shicheng was mostly resentful, but he could understand this, if he was Wen Shicheng, he would almost think like this: "You are a big star, you don't take being your male number one seriously, but you come to rob me of my job when you have nothing to do, I really don't know what to do!" Therefore, Wen Shicheng was angry in his heart, and even cursed him secretly, which was normal.

Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile: "In the future, the two of us will cooperate well and strive to help the director shoot action scenes." As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to Wen Shicheng, ready to shake hands with him.

Wen Shicheng thought to himself: "Without you, I can help the director shoot action scenes, but now I have to listen to you, a young man, dictate my fingers, it's really depressing!" Because of Li Zhengxie's face, it was not good to turn his face with Zhang Chengyuan, so he had to reach out and shake Zhang Chengyuan.

When he realized this, he just wanted to retract his strength, but he changed his mind again: "Why don't you take the opportunity to teach this guy a lesson, so that he won't dare to go too far with me in the future." Thinking of this, he added a little more strength to his hands.

Zhang Chengyuan felt that the strength in Wen Shicheng's hand was getting bigger and bigger, so he guessed his thoughts, and sneered in his heart: "It's really beyond my strength!" Ask for your own hardship! Immediately, he added a little more strength to his hands.

Wen Shicheng suddenly felt that Zhang Chengyuan's hand suddenly turned into an iron pliers, pinching his hand bones in severe pain, even if he tried his best to endure it, he couldn't help but snort lightly, fortunately, the pain only lasted for less than a second, and then disappeared all of a sudden, otherwise he would have to look foreign! For a while, he was shocked and inexplicable, and looked at Zhang Chengyuan in a daze.

Zhang Chengyuan still had a warm smile on his face, but his eyes seemed to be extremely intimidating, Wen Shicheng looked at it a few times, and for some reason, he was stunned.

Jang Sung-won let go of Moon Se-seung's hand and smiled at Lee Jung-sub: "Director, I want to talk to Mr. Moon Se-seung alone!" Please make it easier! ”

Lee Jung-sub was a little puzzled, but he still nodded.

Then Zhang Chengyuan said to Cheng Youli: "Sister Youli, you talk to the director, I'll go back!" Seeing Cheng Youli nodding, Zhang Chengyuan took Wen Shicheng's shoulders and walked to a no-man's corner of the gymnasium. Wen Shicheng was in a trance, and as soon as he was pulled by Zhang Chengyuan, he instinctively followed.

Li Zhengxie and Cheng Youli chatted casually, while watching Zhang Chengyuan and Wen Shicheng talking in the corner, although they couldn't hear the voice, but judging from the demeanor and behavior of the two, they gradually found that Wen Shicheng's attitude towards Zhang Chengyuan seemed to be more and more respectful, as if facing his own teacher.

After about ten minutes, Zhang Chengyuan walked back, while Wen Shicheng followed him respectfully.

In front of Lee Jung-sub, Jang Sung-won smiled and said: "Director, I have already talked with Wen Shicheng's predecessors, and we will definitely cooperate closely and cooperate closely in the future." ”

Hearing this, Wen Shicheng immediately nodded in agreement.

Li Zhengxie felt a little strange, but didn't ask, just said: "That's good, I'm relieved to see that you get along so well." But he thought in his heart: "This Zhang Chengyuan's eloquence is too good, but after talking for a few minutes, he will speak Wen Shicheng obediently, as if he can listen to his orders at any time." ”

Then, Li Zhengxie saw that it was only about an hour before lunch time, so he said to Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Youli: "Cheng Yuan, Youli, you have just arrived here, you don't have to rush to start work, it is better to go outside for a circle, take a walk, and familiarize yourself with the environment, and start work in the afternoon." ”

Zhang Chengyuan thought that he would have to stay and work in this action school for the next month or two, and he should familiarize himself with the environment here, so he said: "Okay, Sister Youli and I will go outside for a walk and come back in a while." ”

Li Zhengxie said: "Take a turn for a while, don't rush back, I'll call you when it's time for lunch." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Youli nodded to him and left together. (To be continued......)
