Chapter 319: Crashing Lovers

Jiang Bai's voice is also good, although he sings completely different from Chen Yixun, he can also sing the treble part.

After all, singing is still much more difficult than singing pop.

After Jiang Bai finished singing, Chen Yixun stayed here and chatted for a long time before getting off the stage.

It's just that after stepping down, Jiang Bai didn't leave, but went to the lounge at the back.

The Xiangjiang Red Pavilion is also known as the Xiangjiang Stadium.

Because as early as more than 100 years ago, the Xiangjiang government reclaimed the sea in this place, and the project was carried out for decades, but one day when a construction worker was digging a well, he found that the well water gushing out of it was actually red, and then the well water was taken for testing, although the official appraisal results showed that the reason why the well water turned red was because there was iron sulfide and mercury in it, but the feng shui master said that the reason why the red well water flowed out was because the ground was moved here and injured the dragon veins of the Xiangjiang River, so it was not the well water but the dragon's blood that flowed out.

But for whatever reason, because of the red well water, the district was also renamed Hung Hom.

In the 60s, the construction of the Xiangjiang Stadium began here, and it took many years to design it, and finally 73 years of construction started here, but due to the problem of engineering expenses, the project was officially started after four years, and it took another four years for the stadium to be completed.

It's just that this gymnasium has been in use for more than 20 years now, so it looks a little old now.

But that doesn't affect the viewing experience.

waited until after the concert, Chen Yixun came back to put on makeup, and the musicians, dancers and harmonies of the band came here together.

While chatting, I changed my clothes and removed my makeup.

In the end, Chen Yixun took Jiang Bai out for dinner and chatted.

Every time I have dinner with a singer, I always talk about cooperation in the future, but Chen Yixun is also very strong in the industry, so Jiang Bai did not refuse, if he really cooperates with each other on some songs in the future, it will be very good.

Or in the future, when you are making a movie, you can let the other party come over and make a simple cameo in a small role, which can also be used as an easter egg.

For people like Chen Yixun, it is also interesting to occasionally go to make movies and play an interesting little role in it, just like when he heard that he could drive a truck to hit Wu Bai when he was filming "New Police Story" before, he went without hesitation.

"If you can give me a chance to bump into Zhou Jielun in the future, I can also do without money."

"Well, I can agree here, but I don't know if I'm willing to do it."

"It doesn't matter, when the time comes, let's find him to film first, anyway, if it's just a cameo for a less important role, it won't cost much, and I'll help you pay him when the time comes, as long as I have the opportunity to bump into him."

"No problem, then I'll try to invite him next time I film, and see if I can get it."

"By the way, if I have the opportunity to bump into Nicholas Tse, Zhou Bohao, or Yang Qianhua, I can also do without pay."

Jiang Bai couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it: "Big brother, how much do you like to hit people?" ”

Chen Yixun grinned: "There's no other meaning, it's just playing, anyway, it's boring to sing all day long, singing and singing are the same songs, in fact, I'm a very fun-loving person." ”

"That's no problem, I'll try to create as many opportunities as possible for you in the future."

"That's great, if there's such an opportunity, I'll be on call."

In the evening, he worked overtime and returned to the hotel, and Chen Yixun also booked this hotel for him, after all, Jiang Bai was the guest he invited to sing, and all food, clothing, accommodation and transportation had to be arranged.

So he stayed in the hotel for another night, and the next day Chen Yixun bought him a plane ticket, and Jiang Bai took the plane back to Yanjing, calculating the time, and the casting work here had been completed.

And Chen Kexin, the architect of this play, has been working on it long before preparing for casting, and it has basically been completed by now, and the other crew members have also found a seven, seven, eight, eight.

"Three days later, the movie started on the Mentougou side."

Zhao Zhe said.

Jiang Bai nodded: "Okay, then I'll drive over directly then." ”

His salary in this play is 30 million.

At the beginning, after Jiang Bai agreed to appear in this play, Zhao Zhe also went to talk about the salary on behalf of Jiang Bai, and at first Zhao Zhe planned to ask for 40 million.

After all, "Casting a Name" is a big-budget movie, and there are many grand scenes in it, and after his inquiry, when Chen Kexin found Li Lian at that time, Li Lianlian directly opened 120 million yuan.

Chen Kexin almost went black after hearing this, and fainted, Li Lianjie saw this, and hurriedly said, everyone is an old friend, as long as a friendship price, 100 million.

Chen Kexin folded his fingers and counted for a long time before agreeing.

After all, Li Lian is now a Hollywood movie star, and he has made a lot of fame abroad, so it is normal to ask for this price, and although Jiang Bai is a little less famous than Li Lian in the world, he is currently trying to catch up.

Especially when "Jianghu" was released abroad, the box office was quite explosive, and he is now gradually starting to take on Hollywood dramas, the previous "Fast and Furious" and later "Kung Fu Panda" can already represent Jiang Bai to enter Hollywood.

But after Chen Kexin heard that Jiang Bai was asking for 40 million, his eyes were also dark, but Zhao Zhe finally lowered a part of it and asked for 30 million.

"You don't know, at that time, he took the calculator and pressed it for a while, and then agreed, but he also has a condition on his side, that is, after we get this money, we will score 10% for him."

Jiang Bai has no objection to this: "It's okay, it's divided, the broker has to take a cut from the middle, and this money is not taken out by Chen Kexin himself, anyway, there is an investor behind it." ”

"Okay, so is there any company you need to prepare for you? Do you need to get a nanny car for you to take a break? ”

"No, get a nanny car, that thing is quite expensive."

"You're still short of that money, are you?"

"Brother Zhao, good steel has to be spent on the blade, with that money, I might as well buy an antique ornament and put it at home, at least I want to put that thing for as long as I want."

"Okay."

Then Jiang Bai went home and prepared it.

Now he takes action movies, usually part-time and then works as an action director.

At that time, they mentioned this matter, but Chen Kexin originally planned to invite Cheng Xiaodong, but the asking price on Cheng Xiaodong's side was also very high, although it was not as high as the price of Li Liu Jiang and the others, but it was more than three times that of the other leading actor Xu Jinglei.

Xu Jinglei was quite willing to act when she was found by Chen Kexin, after all, she could play with Li Lianlian, Liu Dehua, Jiang Bai and others, and she had emotional scenes with Li Lianlian and Liu Dehua, and she herself was not short of money, so she only needed two million.

After Chen Kexin went back, he also calculated an account, and the actors alone would spend nearly 150 million, and if Cheng Xiaodong was found again, it would be another 7 million expenditure.

And if Jiang Bai is invited to be a martial arts instructor, only two million is enough.

In addition, Jiang Bai also guaranteed that all the actions could be designed to perfection, including the personnel arrangements on the battlefield.

Although Cheng Xiaodong can also shoot such a big scene, after all, it is not as cheap as Jiang Bai.

So later, he called Jiang Bai again, and after Jiang Bai told him a lot of things on the ancient battlefield, Chen Kexin directly made a decision and settled Jiang Bai.

During the week of waiting, Jiang Bai went back and perfected the action to the end.

Seven days later, he drove on time to the starting location of "Casting a Name".

It is located in a small village in the western part of Yanjing.

The name of the village is still a bit difficult to write, and it is called 爨 (cuan).

Here they are going to shoot the part of the cottage and the junction.

Due to the participation of big names, the opening ceremony was also held quite well, and nearby villagers came to watch.

But fortunately, everyone just watched from a distance and didn't come to disturb.

After the start of filming, they also started filming, and the protagonist of this drama is Li Lianlian, so he has quite a lot of scenes, and compared with the previous movies, Li Lianlian's literary drama in this drama also occupies a large proportion.

In the past, Li Lianlian's filming was mostly about how handsome he came, but here he wants to play an army leader who was pitted by the Kuizi camp.

After applying makeup, the whole person's face becomes very rough and embarrassed.

Liu Dehua and Jiang Bai want to play the leaders of the cottage in the play, and the young adults in the village are their subordinates.

It's just that after taking makeup photos, Chen Kexin had some problems when she started filming the movie.

Originally, he planned to shoot only seven days of filming, but in the end, it took more than 20 days.

This made Chen Kexin a little distressed, it was so bad at the beginning, so if it was still like now?

Chen Kexin was a little depressed and suspicious for a while, and after filming this paragraph, he even secretly asked the investor behind his back to resign, saying that he didn't want the money in front of him, and asked the other party to shoot with another person.

But the investor spent real money, and suddenly changed the director at this time, not to mention whether the other party could shoot the story well after he came, in case someone else came, he waved his hand to indicate that the previous things could not be used, including some scenes that had been built before, and they had to be changed again.

Then they will lose at least a few million at once.

So in the end, it was easy to talk about it and invited Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua and other leading actors to lobby together, and then persuaded Chen Kexin to stay.

Fortunately, after filming the previous part, Chen Kexin also gave great rights, so that the on-site shooting staff had enough creative space, so the plot in the back was much smoother.

After the filming of the village scene, there is a palace scene and a war.

For this part, they chose the filming location in Zhuozhou Film and Television City.

After all, Zhuozhou is not far away, in Baoding, Hebei, and there are plenty of places for war.

For these scenes, Chen Kexin found thousands of actors who can ride horses.

At the same time, Chen Kexin asked the picture to be real, it is best not to use a single Wia when fighting, not to design a fancy move, all of them must be real.

In the eyes of other action directors, this kind of requirement may be the guidance of laymen to guide insiders, after all, according to Chen Kexin's meaning, many processes and details must be subverted.

But the action director of this play is Jiang Bai, Jiang Bai knows best what a real knife and a real gun is, since you say you don't need Weiya, then I will follow the one that doesn't use Weiya, since you don't want fancy moves, then I'll replace them all for you to use in actual combat.

Anyway, those who have action scenes are mature martial arts actors.

So from the beginning, Jiang Bai gave Chen Kexin those action designs, and after Chen Kexin read it, he only changed a few places.

But as an action director, not only must the actors' martial arts movements be designed, but also the pictures on the battlefield also need to be designed by Jiang Bai, including the so-called formation of the soldiers during the battle, to what point it will become another formation against the enemy.

There is also how to shoot these pictures, whether to shoot with a long shot with several long shots set up in the distance, or whether to use a drone to shoot in the sky.

But the two of them have a disagreement on this point, Jiang Bai's idea is that since he wants to shoot a big scene, he must use a long shot, combine the telephoto lens in the distance with the drone, there is movement and stillness, and then shoot some combat footage of the soldiers and the leading actors.

But Chen Kexin wanted to shoot something more detailed, such as the soldier's bleeding face and the hideous expression of the red eye.

In the end, they discussed for a long time and decided to split into two sides.

Chen Kexin is responsible for these more specific close-ups, and Jiang Bai is responsible for the big scenes.

Although the two of them have divided their jobs, Huang Yuetai, the chief cinematographer of this movie, has suffered an old sin.

Originally, Chen Kexin was troublesome when filming, this detail had to be filmed, and that detail had to be filmed, but now there is another Jiang Bai, and he has to take care of both ends.

In addition, this movie is the movie that uses the most actors in his 30 years of filming.

According to the design of Chen Kexin and Jiang Bai, a total of three tracks were used to shoot a large scene, and eight cameras were arranged for each track, and three cameras were shot at the same time, that is, 24 cameras.

Even if you are filming a literary scene, you have to set up three or four cameras at the same time to ensure that every detail of the actor's face is recorded.

That's right, this is Chen Kexin's requirements, and he not only has high requirements for the camera, but also for the actors.

For example, when the three leading actors were about to go to the imperial court, the three adults sat in their seats, and the three of them knelt behind.

The intrigue between two or three of the adults in the court must be reflected through their expressions.

The audience could not notice, but he had to get the shots on screen.

But fortunately, the actors who play these three adults are also old actors, as long as the director asks for it, then they must do it.

In the evening, I went back and worked hard to study the script and understand the meaning behind each line.

Jiang Gong, Di Gong and Chen Gong were in their own camps, and in addition to Jiang Gong, the other two wanted to win over the three of them.

And none of the lines between these big names are simple, after their painstaking research, every line and every look of the three of them is full of drama.

The three of them have both common interests and the intention of growing in secret. (End of chapter)
