Chapter 321: It's so cool to be a director
Hu Yanbin has just recently started his new round of tour.
Although the other party is only 22 years old now, he made his debut as a singer as early as 16 years old.
At the age of 17, he released his first single, and sang for the anime TV series I sang for the song.
In 01, he released a single.
In 02, he released his first album and became the first domestic singer to release a solo album in the mainland, Xiangjiang and Taiwan provinces, and the album sold more than 250,000 copies in the mainland market by the end of 2002.
From 2002 to 2005, Hu Yanbin's development momentum was the most fierce year, and in the past few years, he won almost all the awards he could get, and he was a smash hit.
Although he has not been in the circle as early as Eason Chan, Hu Yanbin's reputation is not bad at all.
After arriving in Hangzhou, Jiang Bai was on the way to the hotel by car, he saw a lot, people with glow sticks walking on the street, and from time to time he could see fans holding banners and posters of Hu Yanbin for spontaneous publicity.
This time, Jiang Bai also has to sing three songs, and these three songs are also Hu Yanbin's famous songs, and they are very popular.
Hu Yanbin received Jiang Bai on the first night, and they went to the rehearsal on the morning of the second day.
Because of the previous experience, this time Jiang Bai is also more familiar with the process of the whole concert, and he is more relaxed at night.
When Jiang Bai rose from the lifting platform, a close-up of Jiang Bai also appeared on the big screen.
The audience's cries are like a tidal wave, wave after wave.
"If you are a hero, you are destined to have no tears and no regrets
How dangerous this laugh is to wear intestinal poison
Only you know how beautiful these tears are
How ridiculous is this heart not to live without you
I don't want a name in this life
Just want to get a smile in exchange
……”
Hu Yanbin's voice was a little thin and sharp when he sang, so Jiang Bai also sang with the other party's voice.
This is not difficult for Jiang Bai, he used to sing for his father-in-law, and he sang Lao Sheng, Tsing Yi and Danjiao.
Although Jiang Bai released a single before that was ugly, there are still many people who have never heard Jiang Bai sing, and after listening to it for the first time, they found that Jiang Bai's singing is so good.
When Jiang Bai sang all three songs on stage, the audience was still unsatisfied.
But at this time, Jiang Bai had already gone down.
However, sitting in the background, Jiang Bai could still hear someone shouting his name outside, and this cheer was undoubtedly a great reward for Jiang Bai.
Isn't it an affirmation of one's own singing skills that other people's fans call their names at other people's concerts?
In this way, he has been listening to Hu Yanbin's follow-up songs in the background.
With all the lights on the stage turned off and the lights in the venue turned on, Hu Yanbin's concert came to an end.
That night, Hu Yanbin took Jiang Bai out to celebrate again.
Also going with the band members of this concert and several harmony singers were also there.
"Yanbin, where are you going next?"
Hu Yanbin thought about it: "That's it for this month, basically in Hangzhou, because there are still a few brand ceremonies in the future, and there is also an advertisement to be filmed, and next month I will go to Ningbo, Wenzhou, Suzhou and Nanjing, basically changing places every week." ”
"That's pretty busy, but you can do a few more concerts, after all, your fans are looking forward to it."
"I want to too, but I can't do it, I have a lot of things to do next, and I can't concentrate on preparing for the concert."
"It's good that there are a lot of things, it means that you are very popular now."
"No, no, no matter how busy I am, I definitely can't compare to you, Brother Jiang."
"You're welcome, in fact, there are still natural advantages to being a singer, at least actors like us basically can't see the grand occasion of tens of thousands of audiences in the audience.
Behind the camera, there are only the director of the crew and those staff, every time a scene is filmed, it is a few months, and it is those people who go back and forth, and if the shooting is good, the director can praise a few words, if the filming is not good, the director will point to his nose and scold, that is, the work can have a sense of accomplishment when it is released, but the word of mouth will be scolded overwhelmingly, so the singer is still freer. ”
Hu Yanbin smiled again when he heard Jiang Bai's words: "Brother Jiang, this is your modesty, a singer like me can't make as much money as you make at the box office of a movie even if he sings and smokes all year round, and what's more beneficial is that you can still make foreigners' money, which is quite remarkable." ”
"Haha, that's right, I still like to make foreigners' money, in the past, they moved movies to our country to make money, but now I have the opportunity to earn them, and I can raise my eyebrows to some extent."
"By the way, Brother Jiang, just now you said that you are very envious of being a singer, in fact, there is no problem at all to become a singer under your current conditions, you see, you are famous now, and your singing skills are good, and you can also compose and arrange music.
I heard that the stories of the rivers and lakes were all conceived by you, and you came up with the story, and then handed it over to those screenwriters to improve, so with such creative skills, there must be no problem with lyrics, if you can transform into a singer, then you can't immediately trample us people under your feet? ”
"Didn't you kill me? It's definitely not enough to step on the soles of my feet, but I really want to develop in this area, but I don't have much time to create in this area, I have a song now, or Rong Hao helped me write it. ”
"Then you can find someone else to write it for you, if you're interested, how about I help you get a song?" Let's work together. ”
Jiang Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes, in fact, I have this idea, but I am not embarrassed to say it." ”
"Hahaha, what's so embarrassing about this, I've helped many people write songs before. I helped Wilber Pan compose and arrange several songs on the album of Gecko Walk, including Hacken Lee, Zheng Zhongji, and Gu Juji, who also collaborated with me.
In short, if Brother Jiang, if you have this intention, this matter will be wrapped up in me, just to see if Brother Jiang can also find me to cooperate with you when you are filming. Hu Yanbin was a little embarrassed when he said this.
Jiang Bai heard what Hu Yanbin meant, he helped him make a song, and then asked him to make an interlude or theme song for the movie, or play some roles in the play.
Because Hu Yanbin received these business cooperation outside before, it was basically the theme song of some events or advertisements, or TV series and cartoons.
But the film has never been touched.
It's not the same to be able to make a theme song for a movie, although the number of viewers of TV series is more, after all, as long as there is a TV, you can watch it, and there is no threshold, but the reason why many actors only make movies and not TV series is because movies can better reflect the level of a work.
Whether it is the script, the shot, or the story, it is stronger than many TV series.
If he can enter the film circle by himself, then Hu Yanbin will definitely not worry about business cooperation in this area in the future.
Jiang Bai has no need to refuse, Hu Yanbin is talented, and if he can cooperate with the other party, he will definitely make a profit.
"Okay, then I'll thank Brother Jiang first, I'll think about it when I go back, and create a song tailored for you."
"Don't say that, I should thank you."
Jiang Bai and Hu Yanbin, who came and went, became more and more speculative the more they chatted.
Even Hu Yanbin said that in the future, when he shoots a MV when he comes out with a song, he also wants to find Jiang Bai to star.
Jiang Bai naturally would not refuse.
MV Mom, this thing is the best shot.
It's better than commercials.
On the third day, Jiang Bai returned to Zhuozhou.
The crew here is almost rested, and they are also preparing to shoot the last few scenes.
The last few scenes, except for the ending, are basically scenes on the battlefield.
The topic is that Pang Qingyun took his brothers to attack Suzhou City, which was also the military order that Pang Qingyun made in front of the three adults.
10 days to take it completely.
For this scene, they all used thousands of stuntmen and horses.
24 cameras shot at the same time.
The various staff members alone are in the hundreds.
But the division of labor between them is still as agreed before, Chen Kexin is responsible for the details, and Jiang Bai is responsible for the big scene.
Before the start of filming, Jiang Bai held a meeting with those stuntmen, because the formation involved in the filming was required to be neat and uniform, so it was necessary to grasp the scheduling and distribution of personnel.
Jiang Bai divided them into more than 50 groups, each group of about 60 people, and also designated a team leader.
"The leader of Group 25."
"Yes, Brother Jiang."
"At the beginning of filming, your first task is to surround the people of Group 5, and in the back you are rushing to the front, to maintain the formation as much as possible, and at the same time your performance must be in place, if one person is not expressive enough, your group's shots may be cut as a whole, you know?"
"Got it, Brother Jiang!"
"There is also the third group, you are on the periphery in the first game, you have to be ready to rush into the inside at any time, and when you are in the back, you are a little closer to the middle when you charge, but your group also has to show your face, so show well and cherish these opportunities, I have also been a group performer, so it is rare to know that you can show your face in a big scene."
"Got it, Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Bai arranged one group after another, and soon sent the tasks of each group down.
After that, there is a rehearsal, after all, such a big battle, if you don't rehearse it in advance, you won't be able to shoot at all.
So they had to rehearse this all the time for the first week.
Finally, a week passed, and the filming of this scene on the battlefield began.
Chen Kexin's studio is located on the top of the mountain, so you can see the whole thing below.
Jiang Bai sat next to Chen Kexin, looking at the monitor with the other party.
At the same time, there are 5 walkie-talkies in front of him.
Two of them were for the cameramen, three for the actors, and each group leader wore headphones and then shielded them with helmets and armor to avoid goofs.
"Group 25 starts to rush forward, and the others follow!"
"One person in group 6 has fallen behind, hurry up and keep up!"
"What do you eat for 50 groups? What are you running around? Don't want to do it anymore? If you don't want to do it, you can leave! ”
"Stay safe, don't get hurt."
"Unit 14 panned to the left, swept around the edge of the battlefield, and machine 6 moved forward, yes, yes, did you see the dust in front of you? Shoot it all in. ”
"Swingarm 9 swept past the edge of the battlefield, yes."
In the past, Jiang Bai filmed pure kung fu films with a little love at most, and those directors were also very experienced, so Jiang Bai didn't command much, but this time he really took the walkie-talkie and started directing, and Jiang Bai found that it was so cool to be a director.
It's just that after just one morning of shooting, Jiang Bai felt that his mouth was dry.
Look at the five or six empty mineral water bottles scattered next to it.
At lunchtime, Chen Kexin smiled and praised: "You still have a lot of talent as a director, do you want to consider transforming in the future, those famous actors will be directors themselves, I think you are still quite suitable for this path." ”
In the past, Jiang Bai said this to others, but now Chen Kexin said this to himself again.
"Director Chen, I do think it's quite interesting to be a director, I'll think about it later, but I haven't systematically learned anything about being a director."
"It doesn't matter, whether it's an actor or a director, it depends on talent, the rules are those, but those who can shoot things have their own ideas, but actors pay more attention to their own acting skills and abilities, and being a director is to control the overall situation and worry a little more, but I think you should be able to handle these well."
"Director Chen is polite, if I really become a director in the future, I will have to ask you for advice."
"That's fine, feel free to call me."
For the rest of the day, they were filming on the battlefield here.
Before and after, Jiang Bai and Chen Kexin combined filmed for nearly a month to finish filming all the battlefield scenes.
And they spent tens of millions of dollars on these battlefield scenes alone.
"I don't know how many of these scenes will be left in the end."
Jiang Bai sighed in his heart.
Movies are generally just over an hour to more than two hours.
It is not possible to put it in days.
But he didn't worry too much about this, after all, the right to edit was in Chen Kexin's hands.
Then they had to go to the city to shoot.
Shooting is basically on location.
City gates and streets.
This in turn requires the street scene of Zhuozhou Film and Television City.
There are also several scenes in this paragraph, but it mainly talks about the things between the three leading actors.
The three words of the name run through the whole movie, and the ending points out the words that the three of them said when they were together, if the brother messes with my brother, he will be killed!
Pang Qingyun and Zhao Erhu are two different personalities, Pang Qingyun wants peace in the world, but what Zhao Erhu wants is benevolence and righteousness.
At the same time, Pang Qingyun also has ambitions, but he is suitable for war, not politics.
Brave and resourceful, but too idealistic.
The contradiction between Pang Qingyun and Zhao Erhu also began to lay the groundwork soon after it began.
At first, it was a young man named Little Dog under Zhao Erhu, who raped women after breaking through the city of Suzhou, and was finally dealt with by Pang Qingyun with military law.
No matter how Zhao Erhu pleads, he can't change the ending, this is the first contradiction.
The second contradiction is that almost all the people brought by Zhao Erhu have been defeated, and he wants to retreat, but Pang Qingyun refuses, and promises that he will give an explanation later.
The third contradiction is that after the city was breached, Zhao Erhu wanted to spare those soldiers for their lives, but the first thing Pang Qingyun did after entering the city was to slaughter these people.
The fourth contradiction was when attacking Nanjing City, the two sides were deadlocked, and Zhao Erhu blended directly into the city, who knew that the city lord on the Nanjing side planned to exchange his life and death for the safety of everyone in the city.
So Gu Yi was killed by Zhao Erhu, and Zhao Erhu opened the city gate directly from the inside.
But after the army entered the city, he privately finished the military rations, which offended the court and Pang Qingyun.
It is a crime to privately distribute military rations, and Zhao Erhu privately sends military rations, those people are grateful to Zhao Erhu, and they have nothing to do with Pang Qingyun, which is undoubtedly challenging Pang Qingyun's prestige.
Therefore, Pang Qingyun later received instructions from the imperial court to trick Zhao Erhu into the streets and alleys and arrange for crossbowmen to shoot him.
The next day, Jiang Wuyang found Zhao Erhu's body.
Compared with the other two, Jiang Wuyang is more simple.
At Pang Qingyun's inauguration ceremony, Jiang Wuyang came out, and the two confronted each other.
It's just that no matter how fierce Jiang Wuyang's offensive is, Pang Qingyun has never been a killer.
But at this moment, with the roar of a salute, a gun rang out in the distance.
The projectile hit Pang Qingyun's body, and Jiang Wuyang also pierced Pang Qingyun's heart.
As the sound of firecrackers continued to explode, projectiles hit Pang Qingyun's body one after another.
As a chess piece, Pang Qingyun finally lost his value and became an outcast.
On the occasion of his death, Pang Qingyun looked at this brother who was born and died with him.
I finally remembered the same name they made together, brothers messing with my brothers, they will be killed!
So he kept saying that he would kill himself quickly.
On the one hand, this is to complete the original vote between their brothers, and on the other hand, it is also to let Jiang Wuyang accept his head as a vote for those adults after his death.
Because he also knew that he would definitely not be able to live in the future after offending many people in the court.
These gunshots are the best example of this.
But Jiang Wuyang can, there is hope, and there is a future.
It's just that Jiang Wuyang still remembers another sentence in their oath
"Life is not life, death must die together!"
It was raining so hard that it soaked his clothes.
His brothers are dead, and he has absolutely no reason to survive.
Then a voice exploded from the rain.
"The one who stabs the pang, Jiang Wuyang is also." (End of chapter)
