Chapter 899: The Characters Are Together

Since October, Lao Bai seems to have disappeared and faded out of the sight of fans.

Preparations for the League of Assassins are in full swing.

Although he kept saying that he wanted to write at home, in fact, it was impossible for Sun Peng to stay out of it from the beginning, after all, only he knew what the movie would look like. So almost every few days, he had to meet with Lao Song and Lao Han once, either to discuss some issues in the preparation of the decision, or to discuss the shooting of some important shots with the two assistant directors.

With an investment of hundreds of millions of films, no one dares to slack off.

What's more, Sun Peng's ambition is big enough, and he wants to make this film more sophisticated than the original version, so it will not be easy. Especially those car chase scenes are also mixed with gunfights, and there are wonderful scenes transplanted by Sun Peng from other movies, which have to be carefully discussed with the two assistant directors.

Only at this time will Sun Peng be glad that he was not reckless and chose two suitable assistant directors.

If he really came by himself, Sun Peng didn't dare to say that he would not be able to shoot it, after all, it was the easiest thing to do than painting a gourd, but those difficult shots must be shot while pondering, and they would have to be tried countless times, and if they wanted to shoot in a short time, they didn't even think about it......

"So, behind every great director there is a group of obscure executive directors!"

While flipping through the script, Xue Ligang said casually: "Even if you are a good director, you can't be good at every type of shot, so you need a really powerful executive director to help." It's just that for most people, they will always only focus on the first on the list, and everyone else is dispensable! ”

“……”

Regarding Xue Ligang's words, Sun Peng could only reply silently.

I can't argue with that.

Because for these words, Sun Peng is one of the people who have the most experience.

When he first filmed his first movie "Dragon Gate Inn", Sun Peng was just an absolute rookie who had just read a crash course in directing for half a year, and some of them were just the pictures and sounds in his mind. So it is conceivable that if everything has to be handled by yourself, it is not strange that a movie will be made for a year or two. But with the help of Wei Xiaolin, a veteran...... No, it should be under Wei Xiaolin's overall control, and the filming effect of "Dragon Gate Inn" made Sun Peng extremely satisfied!

People don't know what a martial arts movie is, but they know how a movie should be made!

So the whole film is almost Wei Xiaolin's handwriting, especially at the beginning, it wasn't until more than half of the filming that Sun Peng had the confidence to take charge of the camera, but he also had to watch Wei Xiaolin from the side. But no matter whether the movie is released or the praise after the box office is good, everyone's focus will always be on Lao Bai, the father of martial arts, as for the words of another director, Wei Xiaolin......

Who's that?

And when "Kill Bill" was released, after the overseas box office was good, Wei Xiaolin's sense of existence was still very small, and only people in the circle could notice him......

"Teacher Xue, I really don't agree with this!"

After Lao Xue's words fell for a while, Lin Lin next to him spoke a little unconvinced: "Although those executive directors are really powerful, such as Mr. Wei who helped Xiaopeng...... But at the end of the day, they're still the work of Xpeng! I watched this whole process, basically what kind of effect Xiaopeng said he wanted, and then Director Wei filmed it......"

For the star of "Kill Bill", it is his brother's work!

Although Wei Xiaolin is very powerful and can always help Sun Peng a lot in specific shooting, in the final analysis, he is just an executor.

In other words, even if there is no Wei Xiaolin, there are Wang Xiaolin and Zhang Xiaolin who can help Sun Peng shoot it, but without Sun Peng's script and his conductor, this movie would not exist at all, okay?

"Well, I didn't say no!"

After listening to Lin Lin's obviously emotional words, Xue Ligang was stunned.

"Haha, actually, there's nothing wrong with what you say!"

Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Sun Peng hurriedly laughed and said: "Mr. Xue emphasizes that the executive director must be selected well, which has a great impact on the quality of the film; What Lin Lin said is that the director is the center of the crew, because only he controls the overall style and content of a movie...... Haha, in fact, it's just a different perspective. ”

"Yes, I think what Mr. Sun said makes sense."

At this time, Lang Chen next to him finally dared to interject and come in.

As a little budding newcomer in the film industry, on the left hand side is the old-timer who relied on a hurricane to rescue the resurgence, and on the right hand side is the female partner who successfully entered the world film circle with two dramas and a movie, and the one sitting opposite is a super bull who has won nearly 20 billion box office in the world......

said that it was a meeting between the director and several leading actors, but in fact, Lang Chen's plan before he came was to just listen and not speak!

Lin Lin glanced at Lang Chen, but he didn't continue.

Sun Peng glared at his cousin, and then asked with a smile: "Teacher Xue, the propaganda of Hurricane Rescue 2 should be at its peak around the Chinese New Year, right?" Does your time shadow affect the shooting of our new film? ”

According to the plan, filming of "League of Assassins" will start after the Chinese New Year and last for at least three months.

But Hurricane Rescue 2 ...... In fact, "True Lies" will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year as a blockbuster, and because the first part performed well at the box office, the time of release in Europe and the United States is not much different. So Sun Peng was a little worried, afraid that Xue Ligang would delay the filming because of publicity.

"This ......"

After hesitating for a moment, Xue Ligang smiled helplessly: "To be honest, I really don't dare to promise you in February...... But from March 1st, I'm sure I'll be able to devote myself to shooting, there's no doubt about that! ”

For Sun Peng's invitation, of course Xue Ligang didn't dare to slack off!

Let's not talk about Lao Bai's current fame and status, and he is also kind to Xue Ligang without a hurricane to rescue this film, where is he who has the second spring of his career? Let's just say that after reading the script and investment of "League of Assassins", Lao Xue also knew that he must not miss this film!

Although it is a supporting role, and it is also a big villain, it is also very brilliant when it is played well!

Besides, Xue Ligang is also very clear about his current position.

Even if "True Lies" succeeds again and allows his career to go further, it will be difficult to stand at the top of the film industry after all.

Without him, too old!

In fact, the film industry is sometimes very realistic, even if it became popular with the Hurricane series, but Xue Ligang's success came too late. With his current age, I am afraid it will be difficult to attract producers to create other blockbusters for him, and the biggest possibility may be to play some low-budget action movies, or big supporting roles in super big productions.

has been in the circle for so many years, and Lao Xue still sees this very clearly.

So the question is, which one has the strongest ability to create blockbusters?

No matter what others think, anyway, Lao Xue is super optimistic about the old white teacher in front of him. Especially this summer, when he saw that "The Sixth Sense" and "The Identity of Bourne 2" won six or seven billion dollars at the global box office respectively, he affirmed this even more......

"OK, that's good!"

After secretly calculating the time, Sun Peng nodded with satisfaction.

If you adjust it a little, it won't have much impact.

And "True Lies" is a script written by Sun Peng anyway, and he can't care too much, right?

"Jingle bells! Jingle bells! ”

Just when Sun Peng picked up the script and was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang. Sun Peng picked it up and greeted him, and heard the other party ask respectfully: "Hello Teacher Sun, I am the doorman of the community, Teacher Xiang Yuancheng is here, and he said that he has made an appointment with you......"

"Yes, we made an appointment, please let him in, thank you!"

Hurriedly said to the doorman, Sun Peng put down the phone and said happily: "Yes, now the four main characters of our movie are finally all here for the first time!" Next, let's take a good look at it, and if you have any questions, just ask......"
