In the script conceived by Jiang Bai, there are basically no useless characters, so even if Xiao Yang plays a turtle man, there are still some impression points in the overall storyline that the audience can remember.

In addition, there is also a role of the court connector, the other party is Jiang Bai's superior in the court, and Jiang Bai is also directly responsible for the other party.

The name of this character is Gu An, and he used to be an undercover agent of the imperial court, but unlike Jiang Bai, Gu An's undercover place is not the leader of the martial arts alliance, but a hostile country.

Gu An relied on his own strength to go undercover in the enemy country for more than 20 years, and finally turned the enemy country upside down, and now he has returned to the court and become a member of the secret agent.

The name of their organization is called the Imperial City Division, which is the same as the name of the secret service agency of the Song Dynasty in history, but the things are darker, and the Imperial City Division is directly responsible to the royal family, and is completely under the jurisdiction of other departments.

Everyone in the court knows about the Imperial City Division, but apart from Gu An, only a few people know who the Imperial City Division is.

Therefore, the appearance of this character should be somewhat deceptive, on the surface it looks gentle and elegant, but in fact it is ruthless and selfish.

And the age should be about thirty-five.

In the end, they chose Liu Yijun among a group of people who auditioned, Liu Yijun is just thirty-five years old this year, graduated from the Nortel Performance Department, has acted in modern urban dramas, period dramas, and costume dramas, the performance tension is enough, and the costume appearance is also very good.

What's more important is that the other party's acting skills are online, which is more in line with their requirements.

In this way, after everyone arrived, Zhao Zhe and Jiang Wen also came to this conference room.

In this film, Jiang Wen is the chief director, Zhao Zhe is the director of the literary drama, and Xiao Yang is the assistant director.

In fact, the company originally planned to let Ning Hao be the assistant director, but Ning Hao couldn't leave recently, so he was replaced by Xiao Yang.

Although Xiao Yang has always made commercials before, how can he not want to make movies as a director?

In addition, Xiao Yang himself also has strength, so let him familiarize himself with the filming process of the film in this film first, and cultivate it more.

And the action director is naturally Jiang Bai, although Jiang Bai's status in the circle of martial arts instructors is still much worse than Yuan Baye and Cheng Xiaodong, but when it comes to real skills, he is not inferior to them, but he entered the industry late, and this is a circle of seniority.

But now many films are still willing to invite Jiang Bai when they are in preparation, because Jiang Bai can not only be an action director, but also filming, which is a double win, and usually these businesses are packaged, and the price can be cheaper.

It's just one or two roles to pay.

doesn't blow or black, the current Jiang Bai can already influence the ratings and box office to a certain extent.

This is not groundless, looking at Jiang Bai's seven years in the industry, he has officially played the role for nearly five years.

In the past five years, few of the dramas he has acted in have hit the streets.

Even if it is a film like Ambush on All Sides and Heroes, even if the word of mouth hits the streets, the box office can rush up.

Although the success of these two films does not depend entirely on Jiang Bai, Jiang Bai's fame and prestige do account for part of the reason.

In addition to being the starring actor and action director of this film, Jiang Bai is also responsible for the art, props and music of this film.

Because in addition to the script, actors, and shooting scenes, it is also necessary to determine the overall style of the movie, and the costumes and props must also fit the history.

The Bureau of Radio, Film and Television has requirements in terms of movies, in addition to the fact that actors in military themes cannot have plastic surgery, especially if the characters are police officers, they must not have plastic surgery, and in addition, they must not be too dark in style, and the overall publicity must still be positive and positive.

Finally, when filming costume films, the costumes and makeup of the characters must not be too out of line, they must be done according to a certain dynasty in history, and if it is an alternate history, it is also necessary to innovate based on a certain dynasty.

Usually movies need to invite some professional people to guide in this regard, but Jiang Bai is an ancient, and in order to go undercover, he has naturally already understood all kinds of etiquette.

Instruct you on what kind of system to use for costumes, props, and weapons.

"Okay, now that everyone has arrived, I believe you have all known each other, but before that, I still hope that you can introduce yourself again, your name and the role you play."

Jiang Wen stood at the front, wearing a dark gray shirt, but the cuffs were pulled up to the middle, and he said after glancing at everyone with his hands on the table.

After speaking, he first introduced himself, he is not only the chief director of this drama, but also made a cameo appearance in a scene in the movie, the commander of the Sanpin Jinyi Guard in the imperial court, and the top boss of Wu Jing and Zhao Wensheng.

And everyone introduced themselves in front of everyone in turn.

"Okay, everyone should have introduced each other to the end, and we're going to have a formal meeting now."

"Everyone here has read the script, so we should know what kind of story we want to film."

"This story is a bit dark on the surface, and basically none of the characters that have appeared are good people, but what I want to say is that everyone is already tired of being a good person in reality, and in film and television works, who is still willing to be a good person, isn't it?"

After Jiang Wen said this, everyone else laughed, indeed, even if they become stars, they are still cash cows in the hands of capital more often, and they live with masks every day.

Everyone has a selfish side, and deep down there will be some dark thoughts.

"In short, we are very optimistic about this script, and we look forward to your wonderful performance in the play, and then I will talk about our arrangements during this time."

Then Jiang Wen gave a general overview of the next shooting plan of this drama, and at the same time let others have a number in their hearts.

Thanks to a certain literary film director surnamed Wang, many actors now ask in advance how long the filming cycle is after joining the group.

Otherwise, a movie that goes around and around will take a year or two to shoot, and they won't have any exposure halfway, and they can't even connect private work to go to the hole.

That would delay both fame and money.

"Next, we have to shoot in Hengdian for two and a half months, and the remaining half a month to shoot on location, of course, there are not many people who want to participate in the location shooting, so most people can finish it in less than two and a half months.

Then it was the beginning of the week, and everyone's main task was to learn their own martial arts moves, and those who did not have martial arts moves were familiar with their roles, and the deeper they understood, the better.

Every afternoon, we have to read the script together, and I hope that everyone can adjust it as soon as possible. ”

In this way, Jiang Wen talked about it for a long time, and finally glanced at Jiang Bai: "Although this story was written by me, Director Zhao, Director Ning who didn't come, and some other screenwriters in the company."

But the core of the real story is what Jiang Bai told us, so if you have any problems with the plot, in addition to looking for me and Director Zhao, you can also find Jiang Bai. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Jiang Bai again.

Before, they only knew that this was Jiang Bai's own movie, but they didn't know that this story actually came from Jiang Bai.

No wonder the main character in this drama is also surnamed Jiang.

After the meeting, everyone can move freely in the afternoon, prepare some daily necessities for the next filming, or go out for a walk.

And Jiang Bai took the script and went back to study it.

For this film, he is more interested in this film than all previous works.

This is the story of his own experience, and it is also his memory of the previous world, so he wanted to make this film well.

And they also discussed the name of the movie for a long time, during which everyone mentioned several movie titles.

But in the end, the name of the film was determined to be "Jianghu".

Because this series of stories revolves around the rivers and lakes, the name is both atmospheric and suitable for the theme, although there is the participation of the imperial court.

But whether it is to take the Imperial City Division, or to name the theme of the Great Xia Dynasty after the dynasty in which Jiang Bai was at the time, it is not as appropriate as the rivers and lakes.

The next day, Jiang Bai and others came to the crew, first familiarized themselves with it, and then began to practice formal martial arts movements.

In this regard, the planning is still in accordance with Jiang Bai's previous martial arts guidance process, and first teach people with many movements.

However, Jiang Bai is the one who has the most action in this movie, followed by Wang Baoqiang, Wu Jing, and Zhao Wenzheng, the three of them were originally born in martial arts, so they learned the action quickly.

And in the process of learning, they also found that this time Jiang Bai took out the action more powerful than before.

Each move had traces to follow, but it was slightly different from what they knew, but every time Jiang Bai demonstrated a set of moves, they found that the design of these moves was flawless.

The moves are gorgeous, and even in reality, they are quite lethal.

"Jiang Bai, you kid has been hiding it before, we haven't seen you take out these actions before."

Jiang Bai smiled: "Of course, after all, this is the movie we want to make ourselves, so we must be more serious, how about it?" These movements of mine are tailored specifically for you. ”

"I don't have to say it, just one word, absolutely!"

Practice the movements during the day and read the script at night.

After three days, the leading actors in this film are completely familiar with their actions, and even Jiang Bai is full of praise for the line skills and acting skills shown by Jin Shijie, an old-timer.

Except for the different appearances, the other tones and demeanors are completely the appearance of his father-in-law who gets along day and night.

"Jiang Bai, you kid entered the play so quickly, I sometimes feel that the way you look at me is a little wrong."

After the script reading meeting on the third day, Jin Shijie looked at Jiang Bai and said.

"Mr. Jin, after all, this story was conceived by me, and it is also based on me, so my feelings for your character are naturally not ordinary."

"Hahaha." Jin Shijie smiled when he heard this, "What? Is this based on your real experience? ”

"Pretty much." Jiang Bai said in a half-joking, half-serious tone.

It's just that even if he said this, no one else took it seriously, after all, Jiang Bai was a person standing in front of them alive, and there was something about crossing in film and television dramas, but not in reality.

However, they still sighed at Jiang Bai's omnipotence.

Not only is the acting good, but the design story is so powerful.

Even if Jiang Bai is only one of the screenwriters in the job list, Jiang Wen and Zhao Zhe both said that this is the story proposed by Jiang Bai, and they are just responsible for perfecting it and adapting it into a script.

On the fourth day, Jiang Bai began to teach them new moves, and Tong Liya, as the heroine, except for some martial arts moves, the rest was more as an Oiran talent show.

However, Tong Liya was originally born to learn to dance, so there is no problem with her figure or anything.

The dance in this was also designed by Jiang Bai, and he directly took out the dance that the Oiran was best at in the Fengyue Building and taught it to Tong Liya.

"Although these dances I taught you are more difficult, you should have no problem completing them."

Tong Liya looked at Jiang Bai enviously: "Brother Jiang, you really know everything, you can dance so well with this kind of dance by a woman, you are ashamed of yourself, let me, who has been learning dance since childhood, be ashamed of yourself." ”

"No, no, I just know a little bit, if you really want to look good, you have to come."

After teaching Tong Liya dance, Jiang Bai went to teach Zhang Songwen to play the piano.

Zhang Songwen plays the role of a pianist in this film, that is, the pianist who previously infiltrated the court with the intention of assassinating the emperor, and later escaped and entered the Tianyi Palace.

At the same time, he is also Jiang Bai's teacher on musical instruments.

It's just that Zhang Songwen didn't know how to play the piano, and he had to learn it here.

Because he didn't know anything about music theory, Zhang Songwen went to study for a period of time as early as when he got this role.

"Songwen, I'll teach you how to play these tunes first, and then record these movements, and then you can practice them when you go back."

"No problem!"

Zhang Songwen nodded.

After that, Jiang Bai had to teach Huang Bo some tricks.

Huang Bo plays the ghost hand Huang, that is, the disciple of Tianyi Palace who is proficient in Jianghu tricks.

"Brother Bo, these techniques are not very difficult, you can practice them if you practice more."

"Isn't that difficult? I feel like my hands are going to cramp in the past few days. ”

Jiang Bai thought for a moment: "Then why don't I change it to something simpler for you?" Or find you a stand-in. ”

"No, no, I don't want to use that thing, these martial arts movements I do are not difficult martial arts, you have already taught me by hand, although it is difficult, but I can still learn it, you just look at it, in two days I will make you unable to see any flaws."

"Okay, Brother Bo, then it depends on your performance then."

In the past few days, I have sorted out the setting and script content of the new movie, so I will change it alone, and I will start to restore the previous update tomorrow
