Chapter 253: Drill hard
But if you want to apply to others, you must first be able to say something useful, and for the two of them, what this movie can reveal to them is the theme, type and actors.
Because they can't be hidden.
Others can't enter the crew casually, but if bigwigs like Chen Kaige and Cheng Long want to visit the crew, they still have to let people in.
After all, everyone is an insider.
And there will be a crew visit in the follow-up, and some news needs to be released in advance, such as the starring actor and part of the plot.
Some films need to be kept completely secret to keep the audience feeling new, but some movies need to reveal some rumors in advance to arouse the audience's interest.
But these things can be said, it is inconvenient for them to mention how much money they have invested, as long as Brother Chen Kai asks Jiang Wen, he will say that he has spent a lot of money and emptied his family funds.
This is a very broad answer.
Those who listen can understand that they are indeed emptying their families, but it can also be understood that this is an exaggerated rhetorical device.
Because their company has just been established for a few years, in addition to Jiang Bai, the main bearer in the company, it is Dong Xun, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo, who have just become popular in recent years.
It's just that although they are a little hot, they are not at the same level as Jiang Bai's kind of fire.
Before that, he also made two small-budget movies, Crazy Stone and Crazy Racing, and even if he could make money, he would make tens of millions at most.
Coupled with the usual spending, there is not much left in the end.
In fact, directors like Chen Kaige generally don't make too much money themselves when making movies, because they have to take into account the risk of losing money, so they usually find several film and television companies to invest in order to achieve the purpose of sharing risks.
And this has the advantage that if the film can really make money, it will be much more convenient to ask those companies for money to make movies in the future.
Including if you can reach long-term cooperation with those big film and television companies, it will be much more convenient in follow-up publicity.
So after such a dinner, Da Jiang and Xiao Jiang also understood the content of the other two movies.
Although Chen Kaige said that his Wuji invested 300 million yuan, and also gathered actors from China, Japan and South Korea for filming, but after coming out of the wine bureau, the two pondered, and it is estimated that tens of millions of dollars were invested in this movie.
The 300 million yuan mentioned by Chen Kaige is probably equivalent to the title of the ancient war.
Every time there is a war, the two sides of the battle will claim to have sent an army of 100,200,000, but in fact, how can there be so many?
The cats in the circle are very clear, this is not how much money is publicized to the outside world, it is how much money is spent on real money.
Not only is this the investment in films, but also the remuneration given to actors.
It's just that most people do it and know each other.
The myth that Brother Cheng Long is filming now is also a co-production between China and South Korea, the director is Tang Jili from Xiangjiang, the heroine is Jin Xishan from the country of sticks, and the actor Liang Jiahui plays a supporting role.
Judging from the lineup alone, it is much more luxurious than the rivers and lakes.
Although Wu Jing and Zhao Wenjin also starred in the rivers and lakes, the two of them can only be regarded as the new generation and are transitioning to the Mesozoic generation.
But the transition between the two of them was not so smooth.
Jet Li, who is similar to the two of them, has already entered Hollywood at this age, and even Zhen Zidan is better than the two of them.
One of the two can only rely on the past scenery to shoot one film a year, and the other gives up the opportunity to become popular in the mainland and goes to Xiangjiang to develop, but the development is not satisfactory.
That is, a Jiang Bai can hold up the scene.
"This wave of us can be regarded as showing weakness, and they probably won't think that we can pose any threat to them when they look back, after all, our company used to make low-cost black humor comedies, but this time it suddenly turned to martial arts films, and it is certain that they will not adapt to the soil and water.
Even Zhang Yi has a phenomenon of not adapting to the soil after switching to make costume films. Jiang Wen analyzed.
"That's right, the more they relax their vigilance against us, the more beneficial we are in publicity, the only thing we suffer a little bit is the cinema chain, if the competition pressure is too great, the cinema chain will give us a lot less films."
Jiang Wen thought for a while: "I think it's actually okay in this regard, there are only a few relatively large theaters in China now, and I don't dare to say the rest, but there must be no problem with Huayi."
If Feng Xiaogang's world without thieves is also put in the Spring Festival stall, then we don't think we can take any advantage.
But as far as I know, among these films that will be released at the end of this year, there is only one such film as the Great Sage of Love, so how good can it be, right? They must also know what we can know, so I went back to the two Wang Zong and said that it would definitely be okay to arrange more films, but it might be a little more profit. ”
"That's okay, it's all a necessary investment, making a movie itself is a commercial act, there is no benefit, who wants to give you more benefits?"
"That's the case, I'm afraid you won't be able to think about it, but since you can think like this, I'm relieved, and we can talk about the other ones in this direction, anyway, if we can arrange more films, we can arrange a little more."
"Well, but let's talk about this later, let's finish the movie first, and then go to Lao Zhao to discuss the follow-up plan."
In the subsequent filming, Jiang Bai first handed over all the other people's actions, and then asked Jiang Wen to finish filming his own scene quickly.
Seeing that the day of racing is getting closer and closer, Jiang Bai has to go to the training camp first.
This kind of thing is definitely something that needs to be participated, and the longer the better.
Because every time before the race, the driver has to make all kinds of preparations in advance, in addition to the physical training before the race, there are also mental exercises, and the run-in with the navigator.
Especially in rallying, the navigator is the eye and hand of the racer.
And Jiang Wen also knew that Jiang Bai still had things to do next, and the movie that Jiang Bai was going to make next could be used for the promotion of their movie.
It's like when Jiang Bai was filming the Legend of Sword and Fairy before, he took the time to win the championship of a computer game.
When the final Legend of Sword and Fairy was released, many people who learned about this TV series through the game would also watch it.
Movies will be more intuitive, and audiences will choose movies because of very subjective personal likes and dislikes.
If there is one or several actors in the movie that they don't like, no matter how good the movie is, they won't watch it.
That's why many celebrities want to ensure continuous exposure, because only when they appear in the public eye at all times will the audience not forget them.
Every time before the release of a new work, there will always be some big revelations about the leading actors, but most of these are beneficial to themselves.
This is also why whenever there is a movie trailer on TV or the Internet, there will be an accident with a popular star who is not part of the movie.
Then some people will start to compare the star who had an accident with the starring actor of the upcoming show.
……
"You'an, I know you're from the imperial court, but I don't care, people live in the world just for fame and fortune, I know you're not the kind of person who is willing to be someone else's pawn, so I want to cooperate with you."
"Mr. Sun, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply, how do you plan to cooperate?"
"I can help you get rid of Zhang Qingyi together."
"Oh? And then what? ”
"If you want to go back to the imperial court, then I will do my best to assist you to climb up in the imperial court, and if you want to leave here, you can take away half of the wealth of Tianyi Palace."
"Mr. Sun, do you want to be a martial arts alliance leader who is a dog for the imperial court?"
"Hahaha, the word dog is used well, but who is not a dog in this world? It's just a matter of who to deserve.
You and I are both dogs, but I am the dog of Zhang Qingyi, and you are both the dog of Zhang Qingyi and the dog of the imperial court, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all dogs, they are all lackeys of the emperor, but what about the emperor? Everyone in the world calls the emperor the Ninety-Five Supreme, but isn't he a dog? Even though the power in the emperor's hands is the first in the world, he is still constrained by his ministers, and various rules and etiquette also restrict him.
So everyone is a dog, and it's not a big deal for me to be a dog for the imperial court. ”
"Mr. Sun can see it, people in this world are fighting all the time, some people are fighting with others, some people are fighting with their lives, some people are fighting with themselves, people with big fists always have to prove that they are bigger than others' fists, Mr. Sun is understandable to think like this, but what countermeasures do you have now to kill my father-in-law and replace him?"
"Naturally, there is a way, and you can come over with your ears ......"
Later, in Jiang Youan's ear, Mr. Sun said his plan.
……
On the third day after filming this scene.
Mr. Sun died.
As the chief military advisor of Tianyi Palace, he died at the hands of the imperial court.
……
Seeing that the rivers and lakes have reached the end.
The heroine played by Tong Liya has also been completed, because she did something she shouldn't have done in the plot.
And Jiang Bai also began to shoot the last paragraph.
In the final part, both literary and martial arts will usher in a climax.
Jiang Youan wants to fight with the people of Jinyiwei, with the main fight of the Wulin League, and with those gangs in Tianyi Palace.
So whenever Jiang Bai and those actors don't have a scene, they will practice crazy.
It's just that Jin Shijie is old and can't do so many martial arts moves, so he let the stand-in.
During this time, all the actors were miserable.
Jiang Bai is like a machine that will never run out, even if they engage in wheel warfare, Jiang Bai can still use ten strength to trick them.
And Jiang Bai has a total of three requirements for the actors' plays.
The first is to be proficient in all movements, and the second is to do your best when fighting him, don't worry about him getting hurt, all the movements are aimed at Jiang Bai's vital parts.
And the third requirement is also the most incomprehensible to everyone.
"When the time comes, you will use real weapons when you fight me, it's too boring to use ordinary weapons, I can't find that feeling, I will also use real weapons at that time, but you don't have to worry, I will definitely not hurt you."
"This is simply crazy, I've been a stand-in for so many years, and I've never seen anyone make such a request!"
"Yes, how can there be a real guy in filming? If you use props and have a bump, you have to go to the hospital if it is a little more serious, and if you use a real guy, you will have to lose arms and legs in case of an accident. ”
In the end, Zhao Zhe and Jiang Wen couldn't stand it anymore, and found Jiang Bai and argued for a long time before discussing that they could use real guys, but they couldn't open the blade.
These people who were closest to Jiang Bai didn't expect Jiang Bai to be so crazy.
If they hadn't been so good at talking, Jiang Bai would have really used a real guy with a blade.
But even so, Jiang Wen and Zhao Zhe privately combined, even if Jiang Bai is not afraid of danger, but people are just group performers, how can they risk their lives to film with you, so they directly took out five million and brought it to the set every day.
It means that if anyone is seriously injured, the five million is compensation.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and looking at the money, the group performers and martial artists are also moved.
Jiang Bai's kung fu they have seen, according to normal circumstances, Jiang Bai will definitely not make mistakes, but everything is afraid of a case, if something really happens, the five million will be enough for them to spend the rest of their lives.
However, everyone has their own thoughts, and the group performers want to gamble the five million, but although Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzheng also think that Jiang Bai is too much, they do not object.
Both of them are martial arts idiots, so when they saw that Jiang Bai dared to gamble ruthlessly, they all gritted their teeth and followed.
"Jiang Bai, this is the biggest gamble in my life!"
"In the past, when I was filming, some shots were a little dangerous at best, but this time I was shooting with my life."
"Yes, my life will be in your hands, but I won't keep it then."
Listening to Wu Jing and Zhao Wensheng's words, Jiang Bai just smiled: "Don't worry, as long as you practice the moves I taught you well, our next scene will definitely be able to go down in history." ”
"I hope so."
So for the next period of time, they practiced the movements every day, just to make sure that nothing went wrong.
The last two action scenes are divided into two days.
On the first day, I wanted to shoot the martial arts scene of Jiang Youan and the two Jinyiwei.
In this scene, Zhang Tian was seriously injured, and Liu Shaoren was slightly injured.
At the time of injury, they need to be sprayed with blood.
And these blood packets have been placed in various places on their bodies in advance.
Originally, when shooting this kind of shot, the character was scratched by a sword and had to switch shots.
This shot captures the sword and the body, and the next shot will shoot the clothes shattering and the blood gushing out.
But here in Jiang Bai, he asked Wu Jing and Zhao Wen to finish filming with one shot on the condition of a meal, that is, Jiang Bai directly used a real sword to cut their clothes and cut the blood bag, and then did not really hurt their skin.
