Chapter 339: "Jianghu 2" is about to start filming
In the past few days, Jiang Bai has been busy with movies at home, designing and conceiving the script at the same time, and how to shoot it when the time comes.
Filming is not only about the plot, but also about the scenery, and the costumes can also reflect the connotation that a movie wants to express.
Just like when Zhang Yi was filming heroes, the color tone was very obvious, when they were lying, the scene was black and white, and when they were telling the truth, the main color of the scene was very bright.
"The plot of the rivers and lakes itself is a little depressing, but there are still some humorous branches that can be filled in the middle, and the color can be highlighted when the time comes."
"There are also a few of these tunes that can be changed a little bit."
"These weapons and clothes...... It's all right, you can find someone to start doing it. ”
"But I need to choreograph a few more dances."
Jiang Bai felt that he still had a lot of things to do.
Time passes day by day, and the work is constantly improving.
But just before Jiang Bai was ready to set off and go to Hengdian to film.
Kill the Wolf is about to be released.
Killing the wolf was not selected in the Spring Festival, but in May, avoiding all blockbusters.
Jiang Bai also followed to publicize it.
On the day of the release, Jiang Bai also posted a promotional advertisement on Weibo for everyone to watch.
Three days later, Jiang Bai also asked Ye Weixin about the results of killing the wolf, and then was told that the box office of killing the wolf in the first three days was 7.1 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Alas, it's in the streets, how can it be?? I think this movie is very good, if you want the plot to have a plot, and if you want to have action, how can the box office be so bad? ”
Listening to Ye Weixin sighing over there, Jiang Bai comforted kindly: "Director Ye, don't think too much, in fact, our movie is very good, but there is no way to release it in the mainland, the market over there in Xiangjiang is so big, and it will definitely be almost impossible to support the box office just by relying on that side, this has nothing to do with you, if it can be released in the mainland, why can't it be multiplied several times on this basis on the first day?" ”
It is true that the wolf has not been reviewed in the mainland due to the subject matter, so it can only be released in Xiangjiang, and the film and television industry in Xiangjiang has been relatively sluggish in recent years, so it is completely expected to hit the street.
And there is another reason, which is that after defeating Sammo Hung in the end, he sat there and drank, only to be pulled out of the skyscraper by Sammo Hung, who suddenly burst out.
And the scenes that died together were also deleted.
Therefore, the plot becomes simply the victory of good people over evil.
You must know that Jiang Bai still felt that this paragraph was the essence at the beginning.
If it can be released, it will definitely make the results a little better.
"Alas, I'll have to explain it to the investors again."
"Director Ye, don't be sad, although the box office is not ideal, at least the reputation is there, and everyone's comments on the Internet are also praised, especially those actions, how awesome." Jiang Bai comforted him again.
"This is whether it is popular or not, I think that the movie that I Ye Weixin made for so long can only get so little at the box office on the first day, and I feel that if there is no you, the box office may be a lot less."
"Director Ye is polite, that's definitely not it, your reputation is outside, everyone will definitely buy it, the reason why our current results are not good is just because the basic plate is too small, and after the release of Xiangjiang, we will take it to foreign countries to be released, maybe it will become popular in foreign countries."
Ye Weixin was still sighing there, and Jiang Bai couldn't help but want to sigh with the other party when he heard it.
After sighing for five minutes across the phone, Ye Weixin said that he was going out, so he hung up the phone.
……
Just the day before Jiang Bai was about to go to Hengdian, the beast also made all the content that he never expected, and invited Jiang Bai to come over and take a look.
I never thought that it belonged to a short drama to be put on the Internet, and each episode was an independent story.
An episode lasts about five minutes, and this time they filmed a total of fifteen episodes.
So it only took more than an hour to watch it all.
When watching this drama, Jiang Bai gathered all the people in the company to come over.
An hour and a half, from beginning to end.
Everyone's laughter basically didn't stop.
Because most of the people in the company are creators, they receive a lot of new things, and it is easy to understand the meaning of some of these memes.
"Awesome, it's called a beast, I didn't expect 1 million to really let you shoot it!"
"No, no, it mainly depends on Brother Jiang's leadership and everyone's cooperation, I just did some insignificant work in it." The beast said modestly.
But no matter how modest the beast is, everyone's evaluation of this short film is still very high.
Even those young actors have smiles on their faces one by one.
For them at this stage, whether they earn money or not is one thing.
The most important thing is that what is made can be recognized by these professionals.
"However, I feel that the form of this drama may still be a bit ahead of the curve for the current film and television industry, and I am afraid that after it is broadcast, the results may not be too good."
Listening to everyone's praise, the beast was still a little bottomless in his heart, worried that Jiang Bai's one million would be lost, so he said something to give himself a way out, and also to give everyone a preventive shot.
After all, he still wanted to make some achievements when he entered this company, and he didn't want Jiang Bai to be disappointed in him after filming this film.
I won't support him to do these things anymore.
"It's okay, what we want is to be ahead of the curve, good works will not be limited by the times, take 10,000 steps back, even if the current results are not very good, maybe they can be re-turned out and popular again in the future, there are many such examples.
And you can rest assured, this time you took 1 million to make it like this, and it can be a sequel when you go back, and then you will write the script first, and then make a proposal, and we will have time to discuss it later. ”
"Okay, thank you, Brother Jiang, in fact, I already have the idea for the second season, and I have also written part of the script, but I will change it after I finish writing everything and then show it to you."
"Okay, don't rush, think slowly." Jiang Bai comforted.
Immediately after that, the beast began to dock with Youku to prepare for the broadcast.
And Jiang Bai turned his head and came to Li Ronghao's side again.
Li Ronghao's first album has also been completed, and he plans to release it in a few days.
"Brother Jiang, I'm also a little uncertain in my heart."
"It's okay, you're so talented, don't worry about not being popular, I'll recommend it to you on Weibo when the time comes, and then you can open a Weibo yourself, you can usually be more active and active, and aren't there some music festivals in China? Or an underground show or something, you can go to these places more often to show your face when you have time.
And I've heard all the songs on your album, they're actually very good, and when the time comes, I'll also give you a review of those music awards, and try to get him back with a few awards. ”
Li Ronghao didn't think about it so much, but he didn't expect Jiang Bai to arrange it for him.
"Brother Jiang, you have done so much for me, I am really ......"
"Oh, what's the hypocrisy? Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, your top priority now is to write songs well, and don't think about anything else. ”
After speaking, Jiang Bai thought of one more thing: "By the way, how about my yard now?" If there is anything unpleasant, if the plumbing furniture or something is old, tell me, and I'll have someone change it when I get back. ”
"It's not all good, Brother Jiang, and even if those are broken, I'll just change them, just the little rent you charge every month, it's like nothing."
"Well, anyway, these are small money, you can do it, I'm going to Hengdian tomorrow, send me a text message after your song is released, I'll help you do publicity, and find some friends to help you promote it."
Then Jiang Bai went back to pack his things and prepared to go to Hengdian.
Since she is going to film this time, Su Rou will inevitably go with her, and now Jiang Bai's work agent is Yang Tianzhen, and Su Rou has become an assistant in life.
Yang Tianzhen received the play for Jiang Bai on the side, and after making work arrangements, he and Su Rou bought air tickets and prepared passports and the like.
And these two girls get along very well, Su Rou has followed Jiang Bai for so many years, has seen a lot of superstars and famous directors, and the whole person is not the same as the first mental outlook, and it is also generous to take it out.
And Yang Tianzhen is very smart, counting her age, Su Rou is a few years older than her, so Yang Tianzhen also screams after Sister Rou every time she sees her.
At the same time, Su Rou also takes care of this chubby and naughty girl, even if the other party is more powerful than herself in the world, but when they are fine, they will go out to shop and buy clothes together.
After coming to Hengdian, Jiang Bai also called everyone to a meeting as he did when he was an actor before, and talked about how to make this movie.
I also assigned tasks to the other assistant directors and the chief camera team, and the person in charge of the art and costume road.
For example, what to highlight when preparing the actors' makeup, the storage and scheduling of the costume, and how many group performances are needed for certain scenes.
Before the movie started, Jiang Bai called those actors with action scenes to the set and began to teach them movements, this time Wang Baoqiang still came, and now he is a member of Jiang Bai's Jiang family class.
Although Jiang Bai was busy before, and he wanted to go back to Yenching Sports University to attend classes after he had time, he never had time to expand his Jiang family's class, but he still decided that after he returned after filming this time, he must recruit some people from those graduates of Sports University and Shichahai Sports School.
At that time, even if he is not free, he can let Wang Baoqiang take them out to pick up the work.
"Bao Qiang, you can teach these people's movements after you are familiar with them, Wu Jing and Brother Zheng, I can just go back and teach them alone, because they learn quickly."
Wang Baoqiang nodded, revealing the iconic two rows of big white teeth: "Okay, Brother Jiang, I promise to complete the task." ”
Then Jiang Bai taught Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzheng the movements again.
When these two used to make movies, the action director designed the action and then let them practice, and in the process of practice, they would also modify these movements to a certain extent according to the moves they were good at.
But with Jiang Bai designing for them, the movements are different, Jiang Bai knows the essence of each sect's moves, and he can play them out at will.
Therefore, Zhao Wenzheng and Wu Jing only need to practice according to what Jiang Bai taught step by step, and they don't need to make any changes at all.
Because they change themselves, they may not be more wonderful than Jiang Bai's design.
For these people who practice martial arts, being powerful is powerful, and whoever is powerful admires them.
"Then you practice first, and then ask me again if you have any questions."
"Okay Jiang Bai, you go and get busy with yours, our brothers will practice here by themselves."
Jiang Bai nodded, turned his head and called Liu Sisi and Wang Ou over.
In this one, the two of them are the main actresses.
However, Liu Sisi studied dance before, so all physical conditions are good, but Wang Ou is a little bit meaningless, and her major has nothing to do with movements.
Before, because of her outstanding appearance and good figure, she was secretly registered by her sister and asked her to participate in the model competition, but she didn't expect to win the championship in the end.
"Xiao Ou, you don't have any foundation, so in the past few days, you will practice the basic skills and pull the flexibility of your body, but you must pay attention to it and don't get hurt."
"Okay, Brother Jiang, but I don't know how to ...... these things"
"It's okay, I'll teach you later."
"You watch it now, I'll teach you first."
Turning his head, Liu Sisi was standing in front of him.
"Sisi, it's been more than a year since the last time we worked together, but you practiced dance before, and this time there are a lot of movements in addition to dance."
"Brother Jiang, I'll study hard! But if I'm doing something wrong, you have to tell me. ”
"Then I'm sure I'll say it."
Then Jiang Bai began to teach Liu Sisilai one move at a time, there are still some differences between learning dance and learning martial arts, for example, although dancers also require a sense of strength, compared to martial arts, the sense of strength will still be insufficient.
This will lead to a soft fight.
After an afternoon, Jiang Bai taught the other party two sets of moves.
"You should remember all the moves, focus on practicing the sense of power in the past few days, you can find the feeling first, and then try it together with the coercion after you have a sense of power."
"Okay, Brother Jiang."
Liu Sisi nodded, then rubbed his shoulders and legs and left, because Jiang Bai was holding a stick in his hand during the practice, and he would hit where it was not in place, although he didn't use force, but after all, those with fine skin and tender flesh would also feel pain.
But she never complained, after all, she did not do it well.
After Liu Sisi left, Wang Ou came over again: "Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, it's my turn." ”
"What should you do?"
"It's time for me to practice the basic skills, I've been sitting next to me and watching for a day, Sisi's movements have learned some, but my basic skills are too poor, and it doesn't look good at all."
"It's going to be night now, do you want me to work overtime?"
"Why don't we work overtime, I want to make the most of the evening time, and if we need to turn off the lights and leave here, we can go back to the hotel."
"Hotel?" Jiang Bai glanced at the other party playfully, "Are you sure you want to learn the basic skills seriously?" ”
"Of course."
"And how do you want to learn?"
"I must have learned how you taught me." (End of chapter)
