Chapter 217: Do You Dare to Say You're Better Than Everyone Else?

"Well, it's good to have such an idea, and if you have a new project in the future, remember to talk to us."

After that, Jiang Bai asked about the recent work of other departments, and the people in the post-production department followed Xiao Yang to work after making the racing car.

In the past, the company was poor, so everything was simple, but now that the company has money, it can naturally buy some of its own shooting equipment.

And if you want to shoot an advertisement for someone, you must bring your own equipment to the past, and it's no wonder that Party A doesn't cancel the order on the spot after seeing nothing.

"By the way, Mr. Jiang, Tian Yusheng of the screenwriting department has also written a new book recently, the outline has been shown to me, I have read it with Director Ning and Brother Jiang, it feels pretty good, do you want to take a look?" At this time, Zhao Zhe, who is also the boss of the screenwriting department, suddenly said.

Hearing that there was a new script in the screenwriting department, Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, the company needed such fresh blood.

It doesn't matter if you can use it or not, but at least everyone is creating.

"I'll take a look after the meeting."

After understanding and arranging the company's operational matters, Jiang Bai talked about the bonus.

When everyone heard that the company would reward them with 1.5 million yuan this time, they were very excited, after all, who didn't come out to work to make money?

Even if everyone has a dream, it is necessary to work the path that can shine with the light in their hearts.

But a man has to eat, and he must have bread and milk in his hands as he walks forward.

"Because the biggest hero of this movie is our director, Ning Hao and Ning Dao, the company decided to reward Ning Dao with one million, and others will also have corresponding rewards, but rest assured, the bonus issued this time is at least three times more than everyone's salary.

In the future, we will adopt such a reward system for filmmaking, if we lose, this bonus will definitely not be available, but if we make money, the company and I will take out a part of it to reward those heroes.

So everyone go to create, as long as it is a good work, we will shoot it, we have excellent young directors, excellent young screenwriters, and excellent actors, here you don't have to worry about your talent being buried, everyone knows that I came from the bottom, so I know the pain of Mingzhu's secret investment, here I don't dare to 100% guarantee that everyone can get ahead in the future, but as long as you have good works, the company will praise you! The premise is that the work must be good. ”

Jiang Bai on the front foot announced the bonus, and said these words on the back foot, which also belonged to the combination of grace and power.

He has made it very clear that as long as he has the ability to get ahead here, what he didn't say is that if the ability is not good, then naturally the company will not raise idlers.

It's just that even so, everyone is still very happy, after all, there are excellent people around them, and who would admit that they are garbage.

In healthy competition, if you see others excellent, then you will work hard to become better.

If you see that others are excellent, not only do you not work hard, but also frame, criticize, and slander others, such people, the company will not be able to keep such people.

After the meeting was over like this, Jiang Bai came to Zhao Zhe's office again, chatting and reading the script created by Tian Yusheng.

Zhao Zhe first said: "Jiang Bai, this time our new movie got a box office of 120 million, and the money is full of oil, I want to have a drinking party when I look back, and thank those who helped us." ”

"No problem, you can arrange this Brother Zhao, but if it's in the near future, I may not be able to go."

"It's fine, I'll just tell them to go." Zhao Zhe said, "Another thing is very interesting, that is, when we were promoting the movie before, the official website of the game where you won the championship also promoted it for us, and people didn't say that they wanted money, anyway, they put the banner of the car on the top of the official website, and hung it back and forth for more than a month, which I only found out later." ”

"So good?"

"yes, that's good, I didn't even expect them to do it."

"Well, then I also mentioned their game in an interview, so let's talk about it."

"Yes."

"By the way, do you have your own social media accounts?" Zhao Zhe asked again.

"Which platform are you talking about?"

"It's more public, Tianya, blogs or something."

"Yes, I signed up for the blog, but I use it less, and generally Tianya and Maopu are more."

"Shall I take a look at it?"

Jiang Bai thought for a while: "Look at it." ”

Then Jiang Bai logged in to his account on the computer and let Zhao Zhe take a look, anyway, there was nothing unpleasant.

Zhao Zhe was flipping on it, and the more he looked at it, the deeper his brows wrinkled, because he saw that Jiang Bai always sprayed passionately with people on the Internet in the early stage, that is, it was better later.

"You can't do this, you're a public figure, how can you say these things on the Internet?"

"It's okay, it's not a real-name system anyway, how can they know it's me?"

"That's not safe, go back and cancel these two accounts, create a few new accounts, which can usually be used for publicity, and also have another blog, you don't usually have time to write it yourself, just let them get it, and when we have a new movie or you go to shoot other people's scenes in the future, you can also cooperate with the publicity."

"Okay." Jiang Bai did not refuse.

After a while, he finished reading the outline of the script that Tian Yusheng had temporarily listed.

"The theme of the Spring Festival, it looks like a small cost, it feels pretty good, but it should be too late to shoot this year, so it has to be put to next year, and the script is not perfect yet."

Zhao Zhe smiled: "You are too resolute, you will shoot when you say that you will shoot, wait a while, at least wait until the complete script comes out." ”

"But Tian Yusheng's book is really good."

"That's good, then let's put this film in the plan for the time being, and how about watching the rest next year?"

"Okay." Jiang Bai nodded.

And Zhao Zhe has other things to do: "In the next two months, there will be several award activities, and we are all reporting stones, do you have time to pass?" ”

"I guess it won't work, but can this movie still be awarded? It's been so long. ”

"Yes, anyway, you can report if you haven't participated in it before, and this is reported at the end of this year, and the car has not been released at that time."

"Alas, I guess I can't go, you can go."

"Can't you go to any of them? We have a total of four, one is the Yenching University Student Film Festival, as well as the Chinese Film Media Award and the Huabiao Award. ”

"No, it's hard to ask for leave at Zhang Yi's place, unless I'm going to get the award, otherwise I can't leave."

"Well, that's a pity."

After that, they went out to have dinner together, and during the meal, they also talked about this year's movie landscape.

"So far in terms of the movies that have been released in 2004, our car has surpassed everyone, none of those Spider-Man, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings or anything can be beaten, I feel that if we persist like this, we may be able to win this year's box office."

Jiang Bai shook his head: "Brother Zhao, don't be happy too early, the ambush on all sides can't be filmed this year, but Xing Ye's side has filmed a kung fu this year, and Feng Xiaogang has also filmed a thief in the world, these two movies are quite capable of playing."

And maybe there will be some dark horses in the middle, I think it is enough for us to be able to stabilize in the top three in the end, and in the long run, people will earn dollars in the future, and when it is released abroad, it will become a dollar unit. ”

"That's right, but we're actually pretty good."

Zhao Zhe looked outside and saw that no one was eavesdropping, so he continued: "The new police story you filmed before ended up with a box office of more than 40 million, and Wong Kar-wai's new film 2046 just released last month, it is said that it has been in preparation for a long time, but I estimate that the final box office will be more than 30 million."

and the hero of heaven and earth filmed by Jiang Wen, although the director is not him, he must have done the work of a director in the crew, but the box office is also a blood loss, more than 40 million. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Bai sighed: "Alas, the times are different, I feel that comedies will definitely occupy at least half of the country in the future, firstly, the cost is low, and secondly, people's pressure is increasing, going to the movie is just a relaxed and happy picture, speaking of which, Brother Zhao, how do you feel about the new film that Jiang Wen is preparing?" ”

Zhao Zhe thought for a while, and then sighed: "I think the content is very deep, you say it's a literary film, but it has a bit of a commercial nature, but if you want to say it's a commercial film, he can't meet the standards of commercial films, I also talked to him, and he also knows that this film is estimated to make no money, but he just wants to make it." ”

Jiang Bai nodded: "When I was filming the fairy sword, I also read the script you sent, and I feel the same as what you said, the money is estimated to be unprofitable, the only thing that can be discussed is how much to lose, but the reputation should probably be able to earn some." ”

"When the time comes, we will invest some money ourselves, and the rest will be to find outside cooperation, Jiang Wen's movie is not a small investment, if we pay this money ourselves, it is estimated that the company will have to be dragged down." Zhao Zhe sighed and said.

"Well, we still have to make movies ourselves next year, and I still have a lot of them here, but I estimate that my film will cost almost as much as it will take, and the company here will only be able to take out 10 million at most." Jiang Bai felt that he could only do this.

"Alas, I thought we were enough now, but it's still not enough to make a movie." Zhao Zhe sighed vigorously, and stretched out his hand to the fortune tree as he spoke, but was slapped away by Jiang Bai.

"Don't drag it, Brother Zhao, how many pots have you changed in the past few years?"

"I don't count, there are more than a dozen pots anyway."

"Less, right, only a dozen pots? I don't think it's possible to go up to 30 pots? ”

"Not so much." Zhao Zhe waved his hand, "But do you have any ideas for your film now?" There are only a few screenwriters, but the director will have to decide on the people and those characters when the time comes. ”

"I don't know the director, but in terms of roles, I will be the leading actor when the time comes, and there is a role in it that is quite suitable for Bao Qiang, I plan to call him over, and Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzheng can also play two roles, and their kung fu is not bad."

"Well, Bao Qiang is indeed okay, Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzheng are your friends, and you can play two martial arts people when you call them, and you don't need to spend so much money if you have a good relationship, but do you want to invite a few more awesome? For example, Lee Nexus is like this. ”

Jiang Bai shook his head: "Brother Tie is still forgotten, his salary is too high, and there is no way to give a friendship price, besides, the role is not easy to arrange after he comes, my idea is to find a domestic kung fu master, such as Master Yu Chenghui, Wu Bin, Liang Xiaolong." ”

"Okay, but what about the female character?"

"It's easy to handle female characters, find one who knows kung fu, and find something distinctive for the rest, I think about it, there is one of my teachers among the main female characters, and there is a good friend in the Qinglou, mainly these two female characters, and the others are not so important."

"It's okay, don't worry, you've been thinking about it lately, I'll take a look at it, try to ask it after you choose, if you have a schedule, even if you don't have a schedule, ask someone else."

"Okay."

Early the next morning, Jiang Bai also got the Beijing Film Studio.

As for the new house, Jiang Bai will only be able to live in it next year, so according to the normal construction period, it will be completed by the end of the year, but after the house is renovated, it will always have to be dried before people can live in it.

"The company can shoot about four movies next year, one of mine, one for Ning Hao, one for Jiang Wen, and Tian Yusheng's one feels good, and the cost is not too high, you can try to shoot it.

And when I went to Zhang Yi to film, it is estimated that it will be February next year after filming, and Baolian Lantern will start filming at about that time, and it will be the middle of the year after filming. ”

"It's getting busier and busier every day."

"But it's okay to make money."

Thinking of this, Jiang Bai still called his sister.

"Hey, is my sister busy?"

"I'm not busy right now, what's wrong? What's the matter? ”

"It's okay, I just wanted to give you a call." Jiang Bai said with a smile.

"Call my sister more when it's okay in the future, and if you have any pressure to tell other people, you can also tell me, although you make a lot of money now, but the pressure must also be great.

But what are your thoughts on this year's Chinese New Year? Have I been to you or have you been to me? ”

"Sister, I may not be able to celebrate the New Year with you this year, I received another scene, I will join the group tomorrow, and it will be next year after filming."

"Huh? That's right. ”

Jiang Yue on the other side of the phone still sounded a little lost, after all, she is busy with Jiang Bai now, and she points to meeting each other during the New Year.

Usually I can only make phone calls, but Jiang Bai has to film during the New Year.

But it didn't take long for Jiang Yue to comfort again: "It's okay, it's better to be busy, you don't have to worry about me here, and you don't always have to give me so much money, I can't spend it all, I have food and accommodation here, and I usually buy clothes and the like, and there are not many opportunities to wear them." ”

"It's okay sister, can you keep it, by the way, do you remember the house you told you about before? Have you ever gone out to see it? ”

"House, this is not in a hurry, right?"

"What's not in a hurry, it's better to live in your own house than a dormitory, and now it's about to end the year, many developers will reduce prices in order to look good, sister, these days on the weekend, you just go out to have a look, the price doesn't matter, but you must be able to ensure the quality, you must be optimistic before the year, and then pay the money, you know?

Also, sister, take a look at the car, pick one you like, it's convenient to commute to work in the future, and you can drive yourself in case you have something to go out. ”

"I don't need it......"

"What's not to use, be obedient, let you buy it, you can buy it, otherwise I will keep the money and keep it, and I have to worry about whether it will be gone all day long."

"Okay, then I'll take a look."

"Sister, don't be so reluctant, you have to buy it, do you know?"

"Got it, got it."

After hearing his sister's promise, Jiang Bai hung up the phone with confidence.

If you have money, you have to spend it, and if you don't spend it, it's just a string of numbers.

And if you make money yourself, who will you spend it if you don't spend it on your family?

After telling his sister to go there, Jiang Bai thought about it and thought that the contract he signed with Zhang Jizhong in Xiaoao Jianghu was about to expire.

After the ambush was filmed, the money was returned.

One million used to be an astronomical amount for Jiang Bai, but now it's nothing.

……

The next day, Jiang Bai directly took Su Rou into the group.

The luggage when I was shooting the fairy sword had not been unpacked, and this time I just brought it over as it was.

After arriving at the crew, he arranged for Su Rou to pack up, and Jiang Bai came directly to the set.

The movie they want to make, titled Ambush on All Sides, is also Zhang Yi's second martial arts film after the hero.

And this time Zhang Yi is also full of confidence, although he has a reputation on the hero, but the box office is a real achievement, so Zhang Yi learned from the pain and learned some previous lessons, this time he is determined to make the ambush on all sides into a classic of fame and fortune.

For this reason, he also specially invited Liu Dehua, Zhang Ziyi and Jiang Bai.

Because he found that Jiang Bai's box office appeal is actually very strong, although it is not as good as superstars like Cheng Long and Li Lianlian, but it has begun to take shape.

Whether in China or abroad, there are people who buy ginger white's account.

And Jiang Bai has an advantage over the superstars just mentioned, that is, Jiang Bai is younger!

To be so young and have such good acting skills and such good kung fu, this is a necessary condition for fire!

After arriving at the crew, Zhang Yi took him to meet the others, at this time Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi were practicing their movements on the side, and Cheng Xiaodong was responsible for guiding the two of them.

"Let's stop for a while, Jiang Bai is here.!"

When the words fell, everyone couldn't help but look over,

Jiang Bai and these two are old acquaintances, Zhang Ziyi has cooperated in Heroes before, and Liu Dehua is even more familiar, Jiang Bai also served as the other party's stand-in in the world of thieves just filmed a few months ago.

"You should all be acquaintances, so you don't need me to introduce you separately, right?"

"No, Sister Ziyi and Brother Hua are very familiar with each other."

"Okay, let me tell you again, because you came in late, so you didn't catch up with our meeting at that time, our first half of the month was mainly to practice the action and familiarize yourself with the lines, in addition to the route of the first few scenes, so you are familiar with the camera position at that time.

In addition, we are filming behind closed doors, and we are not allowed to go out during filming, and we can call anything on the phone, but we must not reveal any information about this drama, including your assistant.

Usually, if you need to buy anything outside, just tell the staff and let them buy it, and the crew will reimburse the crew, of course, you can't buy things that are too outrageous, just the usual ones. ”

"Knowing the director, it's no problem."

"Okay, then you can talk to them here first, and then come to my place when you're done, I have other things to tell you."

After speaking, Zhang Yi went back to the small shed.

In addition to chatting with Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi, he also chatted a lot with Cheng Xiaodong, and after the last time he cooperated in Heroes, Jiang Bai followed up with four more works.

New Police Story, Heroes of Heaven and Earth, Crazy Racing and Legend of Sword and Fairy.

Three of them are action-related films.

Therefore, they chatted a lot about action, and in the process, Cheng Xiaodong also excitedly told Jiang Bai that after he knew that Jiang Bai was going to play Jiang Zhutou, he also specially designed a lot of gorgeous fighting moves for Jiang Bai.

"These actions are now only available to you, and even if they can do them, they are very reluctant, not as beautiful as you."

"Uncle Cheng, then you mean they can't do their work." Jiang Bai said teasingly.

Cheng Xiaodong smiled: "I dare to admit this, anyway, I think they are not as good as you, it depends on whether you dare to admit it." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Bai replied honestly: "Don't dare." ”

He really didn't dare, although he thought so in his heart, but this kind of thing is always not good to talk about outside.

After all, some people want to save face.

The entertainment industry is mixed, and sometimes people who may not be able to beat the eight poles will be resentful because of their popularity, let alone acting in a high-profile manner.

Not to mention anything else, even Li Lianlian will not say in public that he can fight better than others.

"Look, it's just that you don't dare admit it."

"Forget it, you and I just need to know about it, what's the point of letting others know?"

"Hahaha." Cheng Xiaodong couldn't help but laugh proudly after seeing Jiang Bai's softness.

"Okay, don't delay your time, Director Zhang still wants you to go to him, you can go quickly."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Bai also came to the small shed.

"Here comes Jiang Bai, sit down and drink some tea."

Zhang Yimou put down the script in his hand, and then poured Jiang Bai a cup of tea.

"I've told you the general arrangement before, now I'll tell you about the specific shooting content we have here in Beijing Film Studio, because this requires your cooperation, now you are not only an actor, but also a martial arts instructor, in another week, this movie will be officially launched, on the side of Beijing Film Studio, we basically shoot interiors, and interiors are mainly three parts.

The first part is in the Qinglou, the second part is in the prison, and the third part is in the yamen.

There are action scenes in the first two parts, but they are mainly focused on you and Ziyi, and I know that your own movements must be fine, but you also have to practice well. ”

"Director Zhang, I understand."

"Well, we've worked together before, so I believe in you, I don't think it's too difficult for you in terms of kiss scenes, if this play is played by someone else, maybe I'll divide the script into two parts, let the actors look at the good guys in front of them first, and then talk about the back.

But if it's you, I don't have so many doubts, you kid can play good guys and bad guys, especially bad guys who pretend to be good guys, so you have a complete script now.

Dehua's side is mainly looking for feelings and practicing movements, and Ziyi's side also has a lot of dance moves in addition to martial arts movements, so after you are busy with what you have to do, you are going to help Cheng Dao teach others.

He has limited energy alone, and if he puts all his heart and soul on Ziyi or Dehua, then the other person will definitely be empty.

In addition, you have another task, which is to take a pipa song first, which I told you before, you have to ask me to listen to it first, and then you can teach it to those musicians. ”

Jiang Bai nodded, Zhang Yi asked Jiang Bai to make some tunes first.

"No problem, Director Zhang, do you have any musical instruments here?"

"Yes, as long as it's something used in the play, I have it here, what? Do you want to play live? ”

"Yes, let's not waste time, Director Zhang, you listen to it first, if you think it's almost interesting, I can modify it again, but I think this song is still quite OK, if I can pass it on your side, I would better teach them earlier."

"Okay."

After speaking, Zhang Yi asked the assistant director to run and go back to get the pipa.

About five or six minutes later, Jiang Bai got the pipa.

First, I plucked the strings and listened to the sound.

"Director Zhang, your pipa is quite okay."

Jiang Bai touched his ears and knew whether the instrument was good or bad.

If you put it outside, this pipa should be tens of thousands.

However, this is still a lot worse than the pipa of the musicians under his father-in-law, and of course it is even less comparable to the instruments of the musicians in the palace at that time.

The life of the dog emperor is even more enjoyable than that of his father-in-law.

After trying the timbre of the piano, Jiang Bai tuned it again, after all, if this stringed instrument is played for a long time, the strings will become loose, and at this time, the player needs to tune it himself.

While plucking one by one, Jiang Bai adjusted the timbre of all the strings.

After that, he started playing.

Since this piece of music is to be accompanied by dance, the main style is graceful, and it is necessary to be able to highlight the graceful posture of the actors through music.

In fact, Jiang Bai did not live up to his expectations, this song is very beautiful as soon as he listens to it, as if he is in the palace or some prince's mansion listening to the musician playing with the dancing girl.

"Yes, yes, that's it, I can't find anything wrong with this, do you have a score over there?"

"Yes."

Since exposing his shortcomings in the heroes before, Jiang Bai has learned the stave well.

Now this piece is naturally available with staves, which is also convenient for musicians to learn.
