Chapter 260: To the Enamel Country
By March 27, Jiang Changsheng took the lead in recording his album "The Seventh".
On April 3, Liu Yifei's album "Backlight" was also recorded.
By the way, the two also recorded the theme song and interlude of Fairy Sword Three.
After nearly a month of training, Shu Sing's singing skills have also improved greatly.
The magic phone was ready to turn on, and she joined the group with songs, ready to practice singing while filming.
Jiang Changsheng "rested" at home for a few more days, and then prepared to go to the country of Ename.
On the morning of April 7, Han Sanpin held a press conference in the hotel near Yanjing Airport, titled "The Farewell Party of the Crew of "War and Love" Leaving for Enamel", announcing the official start of filming of the co-production between China and Ename.
This farewell party is a show, the main purpose is not to promote the film, but to publicize, and the co-production project has begun.
Some of the factors behind it are very strong.
Therefore, there are a lot of reporters at the press conference, and most of the reporters are from big platforms such as Sheep TV and David TV.
When Jiang Changsheng came to the scene, he saw the crew who went to the country to film this time.
Even Jiang Changsheng, there are a total of 15 actors, among which Jiang Changsheng is more familiar, Wang Zhiwen, who plays the captain of the team to aid the team, Liao Fan, plays the backbone of the team hyena.
The last one is a woman, Tong Axiang, who plays the second female number Li Quhan.
After Li Xiaoran refused to play Li Quhan, Jiang Changsheng began to choose suitable actresses in Tianya Entertainment.
chose and chosen, and finally chose Tong Axiang, and Jiang Changsheng didn't have anything else to think about.
The main reason is that Tong Axiang is black and thin at this time, and it really fits the character image of Li Quhan, and her facial features are three-dimensional and deep, which is also in line with the aesthetics of foreigners.
The only thing that has doubts is Tong Axiang's acting skills, and it is still very difficult to play the character growth of Li Quhan.
Jiang Changsheng originally wanted Yang Xue or Yang Rong to play Li Quhan, and the acting skills of these two were much better than Tong Axiang.
Helplessly, Yang Xue is playing Tianxian and Yang Rong is in the big crew of the big guys, both of which are the operations of Du Hanwei, but Tong Axiang who has no drama appointment, so he has a schedule and gets the important role of Li Quhan.
Therefore, luck is also very important in life.
At the press conference, Jiang Changsheng sat in the middle, on his left was producer Han Sanpin, and on his right was Wang Zhiwen, an old drama bone.
A reporter from Yanjing Satellite TV asked: "Jiang Changsheng, you are the director of the drama War and Love, and you directed a big-budget movie co-produced by Hua Fa for the first time as a director, are you nervous?" ”
Jiang Changsheng did not answer the reporter's question immediately, but turned his head to Han Sanpin and asked, "Is our movie a big production?" ”
Han Sanpin explained: "The total investment of this film is 100 million Chinese dollars, and the cast is also very luxurious, of course, it is a big production. ”
Jiang Changsheng nodded: "Okay, then let's be a big production, as a director, I am very confident." ”
Jiang Changsheng's conversation stunned the reporters.
Although it was through anger, a reporter at the scene couldn't help but ask: "Jiang Changsheng, where does your confidence come from?"
As the director of the movie, the movie is about to start shooting, you don't know the amount of investment and the cast, and you have to ask the producer on the spot.
With such an attitude, can you make a good movie? ”
Faced with the reporter's questioning, Jiang Changsheng was not angry, he said lightly: "If you go to understand my past resume, you will know where my confidence comes from." ”
Jiang Changsheng and the reporter didn't speak, but Tong Axiang, who was sitting at the long table, took the initiative to speak.
"Mr. Jiang has won the Mao Dun Literature Award for writing, ranked first on the list of best-selling authors in the world for two consecutive years, and is an outstanding graduate who has won the top prize in the college entrance examination and the first in Beiying.
When the singer won the Grammy three times, he was the singer with the highest record sales in the world in the 21st century.
When the roles created by the actors are all classics, they also won the Golden Horse Best Actor.
With such a resume, it's not too much to be a director. ”
Jiang Changsheng looked at Tong Axiang in a little surprise, this woman is growing up very fast.
The last time we met at the dinner table, she was still very reserved, and she had only seen her for a few months, and she knew how to pat herself on the back.
The entertainment industry is really a good place for people to improve......
When Tong Axiang said this, the reporters stopped talking.
According to Jiang Changsheng's resume, let alone being a director, it seems that he can succeed in anything.
There was silence for a moment at the scene, and a reporter from Sheep TV raised his hand and asked, "Jiang Changsheng, you have led the co-production of Sheep TV and Korea KBS TV before, and your results are very good."
Do you have any expectations for this Huafa co-production film? ”
"This co-production is a project jointly led by the three parties of Light Point, Wenhua Bu and Foreign Teacher Bu, and my biggest expectation for this co-production is that I hope that this film can promote cultural exchanges between China and China......
On this occasion, Jiang Changsheng was not only skinned at the beginning, but also played an official tone later, anyway, he thanked the official for his support, promoted cultural exchanges, and so on.
After the one-hour press conference, Jiang Changsheng and others boarded a special plane to the country of Ename.
That's right, the 15 actors, plus Han Sanpin and other crew logistics personnel, as well as Jiang Changsheng's assistants and bodyguards, add up to a total of more than 40 people.
The official directly sent a special plane to see him off, which is the benefit of hugging the official thigh.
This time he went to the country of Ename, Jiang Changsheng brought a total of two bodyguards.
He has never brought an assistant, but he also brought an assistant - Zhu Zhu.
After this woman knew that Jiang Changsheng was going to the Enamel Kingdom, she directly gave herself a vacation and wanted to follow Jiang Changsheng to the Enamel Kingdom.
In the name of Jiang Changsheng, he was called an assistant.
However, Jiang Changsheng is a director in the crew this time, and he really needs an assistant to help communicate and deal with things, so Zhu Zhu is not all about fun, and he has to do some practical things.
On the plane, Zhu Zhu was wearing a professional suit, with a hip skirt outlining the perfect hip shape, and her smile was very stylish.
She was more professional than the flight attendant's service.
It was also serving tea and pouring water, and it was a personal massage, which made Jiang Changsheng comfortable.
The men in the cabin all looked at Jiang Changsheng with envy, but Tong Axiang was different, she was envious of Zhu Zhu.
She also wanted to sit next to Jiang Changsheng and communicate more with Jiang Changsheng to deepen her relationship.
However, seeing Zhu Zhu's figure and temperament, thinking of his thin figure, Tong Axiang still had an inferiority complex, a little depressed, and sat alone in the back reading the script.
Jiang Changsheng sat on the sofa of the special plane, a little bored, so he simply called Han Sanpin and others over to understand the situation of the crew.
Han Sanpin introduced: "The filming location of the movie is mainly in two places, one is the 13th district of Bali, which has a Chinatown, which is not only the area with the highest concentration of Chinese in Bali, but also the area with the best preservation of the original style of Bali.
According to the records, the team that aided the enamel in China did live in District 13.
We have chartered a building in District 13, which is the base of the team in the movie, and it has been renovated.
The other is Strasbourg, a small border town on the border between the Enamel and German countries, where some of the scenes of the war and the camp of the bell were completed. ”
In fact, there were three locations where the movie was filmed, and the last one was in China.
There will be content and footage of Huaguo's Anti-Japanese War in the movie, as a contrast with the appeasement policy of the Enamel State, Huaguo insists on mastering the power of the military pile, so the image of Weiren will also appear.
Teacher Tang Guoqiang and other special actors will come to make cameos.
The assistant director of War and Love is Wang Chao, who is also one of the representatives of the 6th generation of directors in China, who directed "Day and Night" and "Jiangcheng Summer", and has won several international awards.
Han San also took great pains to hire him as Jiang Changsheng's assistant director, one is because Wang Chao has enough ability and is very good at shooting literary and artistic films, and the other is that Wang Chao, like Jiang Changsheng, is also a writer, and he has many works such as "South" and "Anyang Baby", etc., which are published in Ename, and the sales are passable.
Third, Wang Chao has been the assistant director of the movie Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin, has work experience as an assistant director, and is good at playing auxiliary.
The last point, which is also what Han Sanpin values the most, is that Wang Chao has a good temper and is not stubborn.
In Han Sanpin's opinion, Jiang Changsheng seems to be very talkative, but in fact, he is very resolute and stubborn in some aspects.
If you find an assistant director with a strong personality, it is estimated that you will quarrel with Jiang Changsheng in the crew, which is not good.
Han Sanpin, as a producer, has a very clear attitude, he has told the rest of the crew many times that there can only be one voice in the crew of the movie War and Love, and that is Jiang Changsheng.
Wang Chao also knew his positioning, so after Han Sanpin introduced the filming location, actors, hotel accommodation and other logistics conditions, he handed Jiang Changsheng a piece of information, and then said: "According to the script, I have formulated a rough shooting schedule, Director Jiang, you can take a look, if there is anything that needs to be modified, then tell me." ”
Jiang Changsheng glanced at it a few times and said to Wang Chao: "Senior brother, you can call me Changsheng or junior brother, don't call Director Jiang." ”
If it is someone else, he still needs to rely on various titles or beating actors to establish his prestige, Jiang Changsheng doesn't need it, he even has Cheng Kaige in the industry, and his prestige is enough.
Looking at photographer Zhao Fei again, Jiang Changsheng asked, "Senior Brother Zhao, have you seen this shooting plan?" ”
Zhao Fei nodded: "I've seen it, no problem, the photography team can cooperate." ”
Zhao Fei, like Wang Chao, both graduated from Beiying, so Jiang Changsheng called them senior brothers.
Mixing in the circle, born in the three major hospitals, is somewhat beneficial.
Zhao Fei is also a gold medal photographer in China, and his works include "The Red Lantern Hangs High", "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", "Mobile Phone", and later "Let the Bullets Fly".
Originally, Zhao Fei was going to go to Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" crew some time ago, but was cut off by Han San.
Jiang Wen can't complain about Zhao Fei and Han Sanpin, who let him make a movie, he has been preparing for several years and is still preparing, and he was only ready to start filming at the end of last year, but the photographer was gone......
Several people checked the specific details of the filming together, and Jiang Changsheng saw that the others were not resting, so he invited Wang Zhiwen, Liao Fan and Tong Axiang over.
Everyone gathered around and discussed the script.
The script of the movie was written by Jiang Changsheng, and the general framework is similar, but compared to it, the characters and plot tension of the script are stronger.
Wang Zhiwen is one of the benchmark figures of Chinese actors, he has the script next to him, but he didn't pick it up, because the script has already been memorized.
The same goes for Liao Fan.
In this way, Tong Axiang, who was already inferior, became even more nervous.
When discussing the script, only she looked at the script from time to time, and these people with better acting skills than her worked harder than her, Tong Axiang said that the pressure was great.
Jiang Changsheng didn't say anything when he saw Tong Axiang's performance, it was too early to talk to her now.
Let's talk about it to the crew.
