I only thought it was a tragic movie before.

In order to protect the evacuation of the large army, he fought until the last moment, for which he also deliberately watched the prototype of this movie, and also checked a lot of information related to the time.

But after reading the script, Jiang Bai found that many of the contents in this script were very problematic.

"No, if that's the case, then I definitely won't be able to act, how can I not be scolded to death, if it's a problem with my acting skills, people are scolding, if it's because of the plot, it's normal to scold, but if this kind of theme is messed around, it's not just a scolding."

Thinking of this, Jiang Bai felt that it was necessary for him to talk to Feng Xiaogang.

A few days ago, their task was to familiarize themselves with the script, but they had to be familiar with it in the crew, and by the way, they would feel it in combination with the atmosphere of the scene.

Therefore, when they read the script, they also find a place to watch themselves by themselves, and if there is a need for a play, they will find the actors who play the play to practice.

"What's wrong? Ginger white? Is there something you don't understand? Feng Xiaogang looked at Jiang Bai and said with a smile.

"yes, I do have a lot of things I don't understand."

"Then tell me, I don't have much to do at this time."

Jiang Bai sat down and put the script on the table, then unfolded it.

"Director Feng, I roughly read the script before, and there are a few places where I feel that there are some problems."

"What's the problem? You talk about it. ”

"First of all, this main story and the ending, according to the setting in the script, isn't it just to treat grassroots commanders and fighters as one-time consumables? And why did the regiment commander use deception to put a company in a desperate situation, not to mention that the tactical level of this company is not bad.

If they had known that this was a mortal mission, it would have been nice to call in volunteers or death squads, but it would have been an ordinary retreat. ”

"I needed to render it a tragic experience, so I had to do a certain amount of artistic processing." Feng Xiaogang explained.

Jiang Bai shook his head: "Director Feng, how can there be such artistic processing?" In order to make this movie, I also checked a lot of information and watched a lot of things, the Tashan Blockade, the Tieyuan Blockade and the Shangganling Battle, everyone knew that they would be sacrificed, and they knew that they would not survive, and many people died in front, but the people in the back should still be on the meeting. ”

After speaking, before Feng Xiaogang could continue to explain anything, Jiang Bai continued: "And this is just one of the points, as well as the way of playing when charging here, how can it be possible to charge directly against the enemy's firepower, generally not in a group of several people, only rushing a few dozen meters at a time, and then allowing to hide on the spot and output firepower to cover other groups and then rush forward, so alternately forward?"

Charging directly forward, isn't that just looking for death? There is no way to live, how can there be such a command?

"There may be brothers like that at that time, but it's better to call it comrade, right? Although it sounds domineering and cool to greet warriors with brothers, it has a certain anti-traditional lethality, and it can win the favor of audiences who don't like tradition and pursue novelty, and gain box office, but this is not in line with the facts, this is no longer a goof, this is simply a hard injury. ”

Feng Xiaogang didn't speak, but looked at Jiang Bai, wanting to see what Jiang Bai could say, because this movie was a remake from one, Zhang Guoli bought the copyright, and later Feng Xiaogang got the copyright from Zhang Guoli before making it, and he himself was actually very optimistic about this movie.

And Jiang Bai now came out and said that there were a lot of unreasonable things in this script, which made him not very happy, because the director is the biggest in a crew, and the actors have to listen to the director, not to mention a big director like Feng Xiaogang.

But Jiang Bai doesn't care about these, although he also has to take into account human feelings, but making a good film is his matter of principle, and he has finally accumulated such a long reputation, but he can't be ruined because of his crooked butt.

"There is also one of the biggest flaws in this is that if you want to issue a blocking mission to cover the withdrawal of a large army, it is impossible to use deception, you must set a time, as soon as the time comes, the troops can organize their own breakthrough and evacuation, whether it is three days or five days, there must always be a time, even if the hand of the division is blown off, you can also let others do it, right?

And the role played by Bao Qiang is too self-willed, the soldiers of the Ninth Company, as a team of veterans, when introducing the new instructor on the forward position where the enemy's fire is unknown, the company commander and the instructor can directly stand on the top of the trench and chat, and run around on it, isn't that just a live target for people?

There is also a health officer, hearing the wounded soldier shouting that they are dead, come and save me, so he left the other two comrades and ran to his side, and when the task is difficult to complete, he should report to his superiors in advance, this is all basic common sense, even if it is a prototype, it is not such a thing. ”

"If this movie can be made, it will definitely be a good film, but there are too many things that make people criticize, and there is also the fact that our army has never had a rallying number."

Feng Xiaogang kept flipping through the script when Jiang Bai was talking, but in fact he didn't read it, because he had already been familiar with the story in it.

"You mean to change all these things you said?"

"That's what I'm suggesting."

"That can't be changed, if you say so, most of my script will have to be rewritten."

"Director, I've always wanted to work with you, but if the movie is made like this, I really can't make it."

"You mean you're going to strike?"

Jiang Bai nodded: "If you can change it in line with the actual situation, you can continue filming, because those who are familiar with me know that I basically don't say anything to the script when filming, unless there is something on the action that I want to do."

But "Assembly Number" really can't help it, Director Feng, I paid this liquidated damages. ”

"No room for negotiation at all?" Feng Xiaogang asked with squinted eyes.

"Isn't it up to you? I'm just an actor, so I can't influence anything. ”

"Alright, then you can go."

Feng Xiaogang doesn't plan to grind, he doesn't like to be criticized when making films, it is definitely impossible to change it, if Jiang Bai insists on changing the script, then he can't keep the other party.

He just chose Jiang Bai among many actors, but it doesn't mean that this protagonist can only be played by Jiang Bai.

"I'll have someone call me tomorrow for liquidated damages, I wish Director Feng that your film can grow all the way and be a big hit at the box office."

After saying that, Jiang Bai walked out of this small shed directly, and the two of them made an unpleasant thing here, and the other actors also saw it, they wanted to come over to persuade them, but in the end they didn't come, only Wang Baoqiang walked around vigorously nearby, for fear that the two would have any conflicts, he was not worried about Jiang Bai, mainly with Jiang Bai's physique and force, it was impossible to suffer anything.

He was just worried that Jiang Bai had beaten Feng Xiaogang.

Finally, after seeing the two talking for a while, after Jiang Bai came out, Wang Baoqiang ran over and asked what was going on.

Jiang Bai said the matter again in general, Wang Baoqiang heard that he had just filmed a "Soldier Assault", and it was very appropriate to play the image of a soldier in "Assembly Number", but if this was the case, he would definitely not be able to act.

After all, Jiang Bai has quit acting, as Jiang Bai's good brother, he must support Jiang Bai, although Feng Xiaogang hurt him before, but Jiang Bai was the one who gave him the first bite to eat.

"Brother Jiang, then I don't want to act."

"You decide this yourself, after all, it's still rare to be able to make Director Feng's movie."

But Wang Baoqiang shook his head: "Brother Jiang, forget it, then I'll go to Director Feng to talk about it." ”

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Okay, then you go ahead and say it, have a better attitude, your liquidated damages company has given it to you."

"Hmm."

Then Wang Baoqiang ran in and directly told Feng Xiaogang that he didn't want to act.

went a Jiang Bai, and now there is another Wang Baoqiang, Feng Xiaogang is not so polite to Wang Baoqiang, and directly pointed at Wang Baoqiang's nose and scolded for a long time.

But Wang Baoqiang didn't refute, anyway, he definitely wanted to follow Jiang Bai.

In the end, Wang Baoqiang walked out.

And other people also came over at this time to ask what was going on, Jiang Bai didn't say much, just said that he wanted to quit acting, as for the specific reason, that is, after reading the full script, he found that he was not suitable for filming this drama.

Go back and go, but there is no need to stumble on others, just take care of yourself.

In this way, Jiang Bai and Wang Baoqiang returned directly to the crew and began to pack up their things and go back to Yanjing, and at the same time, he also called Zhao Zhe.

At first, Zhao Zhe thought that Jiang Bai was crazy, and he wanted to resign from Feng Xiaogang's movie, you must know that this kind of thing is very unfavorable to Jiang Bai, and it is easy to be said to be a big name.

In addition, Feng Xiaogang is not such a good person to get along with, it would be fine if he got used to it, but if he offended, maybe the other party would say something behind his back.

But after hearing Jiang Bai's reason, he was silent for more than ten seconds before he said slowly: "It's okay if you don't shoot, just come back to prepare our new movie." ”

As for Su Rou, she didn't ask anything, because she knew that Brother Jiang naturally had his reasons for doing this.

Jiang Bai directly bought the day's air tickets for everyone, returned to Yanjing with his luggage, and then immediately began to prepare for the overseas release of "Jianghu".

It is estimated that in a day or two, there will be news reports about his resignation from the assembly number, but Jiang Bai mainly depends on Feng Xiaogang's attitude, if everyone gets together and disperses, then he will naturally not say anything outside, if Feng Xiaogang still says this and that, then he can't go out and talk to reporters.

However, after Jiang Bai came back, Zhao Zhe told him another thing about "People in Embarrassment", he talked to Ning Hao, although Ning Hao had this idea, but recently someone found him with a short film and a musical, and wanted to ask him to be the director, Ning Hao was very interested.

So there is no way for Ning Hao here.

And Jiang Wen is even worse there, Jiang Wen's preparation of "Let the Sun Rise as Usual" is about to start, and the actors and everything have been selected.

And Zhao Zhe can be a director here, after all, this film is expected to invest about four million, and it is not bad to try it out.

But then on the one hand, there are various matters related to the release in North America, on the other hand, he has to do the "Jianghu" and "Crazy Racing" awards, plus the big and small things in the company have to manage, so he can't spare time.

"Who else can you go to? Looking for an outside director? Zhao Zhe asked.

Jiang Bai thought for a while: "Isn't there still a director in our company?" Otherwise, ask Xiao Yang if he is willing? He's actually quite talented. ”

"Xiao Yang." Zhao Zhe thought for a while, "It's okay for Xiao Yang to give this kind of small-cost film a try, it's a big deal that Ning Hao will be the producer for him, although Ning Hao can't stay in the crew all the time, it's still okay to come over occasionally to take a look and give guidance." ”

"Okay, let's do it."

After that, the two went to find Xiao Yang again, and as soon as they told him about it, Xiao Yang's face suddenly showed joy after hearing it.

What would he not want to do?

He was so willing!

Although he is now a mature and well-known advertising director, many brands specify that Xiao Yang will do it when shooting commercials, but he still wants to make movies more than commercials.

"Then you're ready to prepare, you don't have any work on your hands lately, right?"

"No, no, I'm done with all the work I do."

"Then this film will be handed over to you to shoot, and you will talk to Tian Yusheng when you go back, and the casting will start in a few days, and I will do the things reported to the relevant departments, so you don't have to worry about this."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhao, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity."

Zhao Zhe smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank Jiang Bai, he proposed it." ”

"Thank you, Brother Jiang!"

"It's okay, it's okay, shoot well when the time comes, tell me if you need anything, or tell Mr. Zhao."

"Good!"

In this way, Xiao Yang became the director of "People in Embarrassment".

Then he began to go back and talk to Tian Yusheng in detail.

Zhao Zhe went to prepare the crew, in addition to the director and screenwriter, the assistant director, camera lighting and other staff should also be in place.

And it is clearly written in the script of this movie, the scene is the airport, the train station, the bus, the small hotel, the ship, etc.

Therefore, these places should also be communicated in advance.

After all, it is not possible to shoot in crowded places, and filming cannot delay the normal operation of people.

As for Jiang Bai, he originally planned to make a cameo appearance in this play, but there were very few scenes, so there was not much to prepare, and he was now paying more attention to the release of "Jianghu" in North American theaters next month.

If you can open up overseas markets, then the income can be doubled again.

It's just that these places have actually been connected before, and now it's just to avoid anything going wrong when the time comes.

And the advertisements on the big screen in Times Square and the casino are still arranged in full as before.

After doing this, Jiang Bai went to the magic capital again, and since the assembly number was no longer filming, then he would have time to practice driving, and by the way, he would have more run-in with Yin Zheng, the new navigator.
