Chapter 238: I want to be a director

"Then you might as well be a director yourself." The outspoken Wang Baoqiang spoke after listening to Wu Jing's words.

It is very difficult for an actor to have a say in the crew, unless you are a first-line actor, or a super first-line actor, otherwise you are a part-time worker.

The director is a bird, and the investor is not a bird.

Casting, scripting, shooting, framing, which round got you in charge?

Two more sentences, the director still scolds you, one sentence can scare you by taking care of your own affairs, and you can't say half a word.

So if Wu Jing wants to speak, he can only be a director himself, or he is the largest investor, otherwise who will listen to him?

"Bao Qiang has a point." Ding Xiu said, "If you are so unwilling, then direct it yourself."

Wu Jing hesitated for a few seconds, and then smiled stupidly: "I have no directing experience, I don't understand a lot of things, and I can't shoot."

Ding Xiu chuckled and said, "Isn't it modest, you don't know what the current director is like, if it's not uninterested, I can be myself."

A good actor is sometimes half a director, which is not false at all.

has been filming for a long time, and the crew knows a little bit about all aspects, take Ding Xiu as an example, lighting, camera, makeup, props, he knows a little bit of these things, if he is willing to work hard to study, not to say that he will be completely willing, at least it is not a problem to understand the specific workflow.

It's true that the life of a director is not easy, but there are also different kinds of directors.

It's very difficult for Zhang Yi to take care of everything.

But it's just an ordinary director, in fact, the threshold is not so high, because many things can be handed over to the people below.

You just need to come out with the story and the general direction, and the rest of the shooting has cameras, the crew has an assistant director, the martial arts has a martial arts instructor, and the script has a screenwriter.

Huang Bodao: "This is the truth, after being in the industry for a long time, I will always encounter some scenes, and I feel that the director of the mallet is not as good as himself."

"Take a crew I joined last year, the director doesn't understand anything, he can't tell a simple shot, he doesn't know what a script is, he sees me, and he wants to scold people, and I thought at the time, it's better for me to be on it."

"I've met this kind of director, too." Wang Baoqiang is energetic: "After playing camera for a few days, I have to change careers, but I don't understand anything, and he doesn't care about the sparse performances of the actors, every one of them is passed, it's too bad."

"The most unlucky thing is to be pitted by the assistant director, a broken prop sword is quoted at 888, a hat is 4500, and the crew dares to report thousands of dollars for vehicles, and in the end, the crew was disbanded less than a month after it was established, and the director lost a lot of money."

This is the disadvantage of easily crossing the line, not understanding anything, and being cheated so much that my father can't recognize it.

If you have worked as an actor before, this kind of thing will never happen, because you have been in the industry for a long time, and everyone has a little bit of a bottom about these things.

Even if you don't understand, you can ask your peers for advice.

A prop sword is eight hundred and eighty-eight, Zhang Yi has to call his father when he comes.

Eighteen dollars is too expensive for this thing.

Of course, this kind of crew is a director who doesn't understand, or a father who specializes in pit investors, and the coal boss is stupid and has a lot of money, and some want to invest when they see the project.

They are not very demanding, they just talk to the actresses of the crew and eat.

Some people on the road went to the club to find a woman to be an actor, rented a few machines at will, and bought a broken script to fool the coal boss.

Every day, the money for gas, lunches, field work, group performances, and overtime pay are all doubled, and the assistant director's pocket is full.

"Forget it, I don't have any money, I can't do it." Wu waved his hand in surprise, but the distress on his face was gone, and he turned into a smile, as if he had made some decision.

Seeing him like this, Ding Xiu knew that this was heartbeat, and he was already thinking about what script to come out.

At present, the film and television industry is very good, and the future is bright, to be honest, if he is not too tired, Ding Xiu wants to be a director himself.

After drinking a meal for more than two hours, several people were in high spirits and ready to go home.

At the door of the bar, Ding Xiu saw Wu Jing take out the car keys and said, "Don't drive when you drink, call a substitute driver."

"Me again

Don't be stupid, how many probes and traffic police will go out this way." Wu Jing took out his mobile phone and made a call and ordered someone to drive.

It's just that the car key is in his hand, and he has to wait for someone to come before he can hand over the key, otherwise he will definitely leave with Ding Xiu and them.

After Ding Xiu and a few people left, the bar security guard came out and said that he wanted Wu Jing's car to move, which was a bit of a block, and other cars couldn't pass.

Wu Jing spread his hands: "Dude, I'm drinking, why don't you open it."

"Handsome guy, don't be embarrassed for me, where do I dare to drive your car, I can't afford to pay for it if it is damaged, you better move it yourself, just move it, and take a few steps forward."

With a salary of 1,800 yuan a month, how dare the security guard drive Wu Jing's car of 6 or 700,000 yuan, and he can't drive and has no driver's license.

"Okay, I'll go."

Wu was helpless, took out the car keys, got into the car, lit the light, started, and drove a few meters away in front, so that he could not die, and two traffic policemen came over.

"Hello, turn off the engine and get out of the car."

"Take a test of alcohol."

"Comrade, I called the substitute driver, and it was the security guard who asked me to move the car, and I only moved five meters."

"So you drink?"

"I drank, but I didn't want to drive, the security guard told me to move."

"You're even drunk driving."

"I'm called a substitute driver, I don't believe you look at my call history."

"ID Card, Driver's License, ......"

The release time of Black Fist started at twelve o'clock in the evening, and Wu Jing originally wanted to guard it, but he went directly to the detention center this night.

It also alarmed media reporters.

As a result, a 1,500-word review, 12 points were deducted, and a fine of 800 fell on the head.

When Ding Xiu saw Wu Jing the next afternoon, he was riding a lady's bicycle.

"This car is good, environmentally friendly, safe, and there is no traffic jam."

"Don't bury me, I didn't sleep well all night yesterday, and I dealt with media reporters in the morning, and I met with bad luck."

"If I hadn't agreed to you for a charter treat, I wouldn't have wanted to go out today."

When people are unlucky, they stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, because of the box office, they are in a bad mood, and they go out drunk driving, which attracts reporters.

In the afternoon, when he was still sleeping, Ding Xiu called him to remind him of the charter, and he remembered that he promised to invite everyone to watch a movie.

Because the road is not far, I came by riding the bicycle of the aunt who cooks at home.

Ding Xiu smiled: "You are indeed unlucky, park the car, let's enter, Baoqiang They have arrived."

Broken bicycles don't need to be locked, Wu Jing parked directly against the wall on the side of the road, and followed Ding Xiu into the movie theater.

The reason for the charter is that just a few of them sit directly in the first row to chat and eat melon seeds.

After the movie starts, several people shut up.

The story told by Black Fist is very simple, Gao Gang, a national martial arts champion, joined the Peking Opera Troupe and came to Hong Kong Island for a short-term performance.

Because of his excellent skills, he was valued by the company of the underground boxing tournament and invited him to fight, but he was reluctant at first, and his sister also persuaded his brother not to fight.

Gao Gang likes a girl named Xiao Tian in the group, Xiao Tian also likes him, when they eat hot pot together, they are unhappy because of the checkout problem, so Xiao Tian persuades Gao Gang to go to a boxing match, saying that he can make a lot of money.

In order to make Oda happy and live a good life, Gao Gang went and won one game after another...... In the end, he wanted to stop, but the company didn't agree, arrested his sister, and asked him to finish the last game.

The finale is perfect, the male protagonist wins the game, rescues his sister, and sits under the stars with his girlfriend Oda to tell each other's past.

After watching the movie for more than 80 minutes, Wu was shocked and said, "Don't be stingy with your brothers, give advice to your brothers, so that I can have room to grow in the future, the movies are like this, and I'm not afraid that you will speak badly."

"The story is too old-fashioned." Ding Xiu was the first to speak: "I want to doze off, the total box office of more than 600,000 on Hong Kong Island is not without reason."

This kind of old-fashioned story is still filmed, and it is also a miracle, and the box office of more than 600,000 is high.

Huang Bo was not as ruthless as Ding Xiu spoke, but said seriously: "There is nothing to say about the martial arts movements, they are very realistic, the actors are also good, and the rhythm is very stable, but there is a problem with logic."

"The male protagonist's mother was sick and needed money, but he didn't go to the boxing match, because he went to have a hot pot with his girlfriend, it doesn't make sense."

"I really like the martial arts in this play." Wang Baoqiang waved his fist and said: "The fist is to the flesh, the movements are smooth, there are many difficult movements, and there is a lot of hard work behind the scenes."

With his hands on his chest, Wu Jing responded to their opinions: "It took me a lot of effort to fight martial arts, it was winter when I was filming, and my shirt was wet after filming every day, and I suffered countless injuries, including my face, legs, hands, and waist."

"In order to be realistic, we are really fighting and carrying a lot of actions, and what I am most satisfied with in this drama is martial arts, so I think Bao Qiang's vision is very good."

"As for Brother Xiu and Brother Bo's opinions, I can't help it, because the version you are watching now is different from the one released on Hong Kong Island."

"This version is eighty-seven minutes, and the Hong Kong Island version is one hundred and six minutes, and there are some differences in the plot, such as the male protagonist Gao Gang has no sister."

"Xiao Tian and Gao Gang don't really love each other, Xiao Tian has always been a member of the company, she deliberately let Gao Gang play the game, and she also gave the male protagonist a green hat."

"The people in the company wanted the male protagonist to play a fake match, so he threatened Xiao Tian's life, and in order to save Xiao Tian, the male protagonist deliberately cut off his leg in the game."

"In the hospital, Oda asked the male protagonist what he liked about himself, and the male protagonist confessed his true feelings, revealing his heart, and Xiao Tian, who couldn't get over his conscience, jumped off the building and committed suicide."

"The angry male protagonist ran to the company to take revenge, and finally died at the gunpoint of the strip......

This story, Wu Jing told it extremely melancholy, and some of the encounters between Oda and the male protagonist were actually changed based on his own experience.

For scale reasons, the mainland version deleted a lot of things, and also made a sick old mother and sister come out, all to pass the trial.

The Hong Kong Island version is the essence.

However, it's useless to say these now, before the deletion, there was only more than 600,000 box office on Hong Kong Island, and now there are so many deletions, the story line is incomplete, just like Huang Bo said, there is a problem with the logic.

It is conceivable that the box office on the mainland is not much higher.

Anyway, this wave is dead.

"Damn, if there is something uncut, you didn't say it earlier." Ding Xiu got up and said, "Do you have any resources, get a look."

Wu rolled his eyes: "Where can I get resources?"

Wang Baoqiang raised his hand: "I should have."

Half an hour later, at Ding Xiu's house, several people watched Wang Baoqiang take out a CD.

Wu Jing's forehead was bruised, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

It's all like this, and there are still people who pirate CDs, and he doesn't know whether to be happy or cry.

"Wow!"

"Is this uncut, it didn't disappoint me, this martial arts fight is bloody enough."

"Good guy, no wonder the box office is not high, the heroine was rubbed like this, I was angry when I saw it."

"Is it black like this, I'm a little pessimistic, and my heart is blocked after reading it."

"The theme is not good, except for sadness or sadness, martial arts is a highlight, and nothing else is good."

The uncut version is much darker than what Wu Jing said, astringent, bloody, and more depressing overall, the male protagonist has always been passive, arranged, and designed.

In order to save his girlfriend, he cut off his leg, and it hurts to watch.

It turned out to be all a game.

Regarding the heroine, there are a lot of shots, including pictures of being taken advantage of, but anyone who is a man can't be substituted.

The finale is also pitifully sad, the protagonist suffers peanuts and falls in a pool of blood.

Ding Xiu made a pot of tea, poured himself a cup, crossed his legs and said: "Comedies are popular these days, you learn from Ning Hao, ordinary martial arts don't work, it's tiring and bitter, and the audience doesn't like to watch it."

"Most of the people who go to the cinema are young people, and if you only take care of the emotions of the male audience, then a large number of female audiences will be lost, and comedies are different

Men and women, young and old, are killed."

Picking up the glass on the table, Wu Jing also added a cup for himself, and also filled it up for Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang.

"Brother Xiu, if you want to say this, I have a different opinion, it's not that the audience doesn't like martial arts movies, they just don't like martial arts movies that aren't good."

"I admit that the tone is a bit dark, and I won't do that next time."

Ding Xiu sneered, "Next time, when are you going to do it next?"

"Next year." Wu Jing said seriously: "I went back and thought about what you said last night, it's not unreasonable, I want to be a director, personally handle a play, prepare it in the second half of this year, and release it next year."

"Don't you have no money?"

"Yes, I don't, but you do!"

"Ahem, ahem!" Ding Xiu was choked by the tea, and said speechlessly: "You have a good calculation, if you want money, if you want a life, you can do it yourself."

There are very few people who can take money from him.

It's always him who asks for money.

"Brother Xiu, don't you see the outside, don't worry, the majority of this drama is mine, you only need to support me for three or five million."

Ding Xiu put down the teacup: "After watching the movie, everyone rests early, and I'm a little tired."

Three or five million, Wu was shocked to open his mouth, doesn't this mean that he wants his life?

The just-finished filming of Xinshang Tang is the highest-paid drama since he started filming, with only more than 2 million.

The ones that were filmed before were less than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, and the high ones were 1.8 million, and Wu Jing's mouth was his annual income, which was more painful than him cutting him with a knife.

"Brother Xiu, three million, three million is okay, right?"

"Don't push me, 2.5 million, hey, hey, why are you still doing it."

"Baoqiang, Baoqiang, don't run, Brother Bo, do you have money?"
