Chapter 346: Returning the Favor

Jiang Bai tried it first, and then the technical team found a problem, that is, a car could run with the huge safe, but it couldn't run fast, so the director decided to run the two cars together.

However, there are two important male characters in this film, one is Van Diesel, the other is Paul Walker, and after chatting for a while, they finally decided to let Paul Walker come, and Van Diesel still responded to the previously revised script.

Then the technical team re-planned the route and the arrangement at that time.

In the early stage, the two cars were pulled and run together, and then Paul Walker was unhooked, and Jiang Bai was pulled and run alone.

On the bridge, the two drove their cars and constantly used actions such as turning and changing lanes to crash one police car after another into it.

A sea of fire caused by the collision and explosion of cars covered the road, but these fires did not stop Jiang Bai, he continued to walk through the firelight, and those police cars also rushed over one by one, trying to stop Jiang Bai.

The sound of flying roadblocks, the sound of tires grinding against the ground, and the adrenaline-pumping roar of the car's engine after the nitrogen acceleration is turned on, resounded on the set.

Although it was filming, the scene was still very dangerous, there were no people in those police cars at all, and they were all set up in advance for automatic driving.

That's why they can be unscrupulously crashed one by one.

Although these police cars themselves are vehicles that have been set up to be destroyed, each of them is worth tens of thousands of dollars, so Jiang Bai added 30,000 US dollars to the cost of this film in his heart for each collision.

And in this scene, only Paul Walker and Jiang Bai are really driving the car.

During this time, the two also glanced at each other through the window, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes.

“ Good job!”

Paul Walker said with a mouth shape, this is not only an interpretation in the play, but also Paul's praise for Jiang Bai himself.

He himself is very keen on racing, and he also knows that Jiang Bai is a professional racing driver, so he has the best relationship with Jiang Bai in the entire crew, although Jiang Bai is later.

But there is always more to talk about.

This scene was carefully planned before filming, and because of the huge cost, Lin Yibin asked them to pass it at the best time.

And the two of them did not live up to their expectations.

After filming, Jiang Bai and Paul Walker looked at each other and smiled, sat on the side and chatted, while Vin Diesel wanted to finish filming the shot of him leading other police cars away on the other side and causing those police cars to collide in a row.

While Van Diesel was filming, there were also constant explosions, and the cars either flipped up directly or crashed on the spot, and parts flew all over the sky.

"No wonder this series can be so popular, even if the third part is not starring a few of you, it can still win such a high box office." Jiang Bai said.

"Violence, blood, passion, this is always everyone's favorite thing to watch, anyway, for me, I don't like to watch movies that can make people sad in the cinema, although I have made them myself."

"After all, it's a man, who doesn't want to drive a sports car, in fact, even in some games, people will drive a car to go on a rampage to satisfy their desire to destroy."

"yes, but I hope that Chevrolet doesn't crash, it's not mine, but it's a good friend of mine."

Jiang Bai knew that Paul was talking about the car that Vin Diesel was driving.

So he secretly remembered these words in his heart.

After this shot was finished, the rest was not too complicated, so they filmed here for about ten days or so before it was successfully completed.

At the same time, the pre-release preparations for the domestic "Jianghu II" have also entered the final stage, and this film has aroused many people's expectations due to its previous success, and the publicity plans proposed by Jiang Bai have greatly stimulated people's attention, so now the audience's demand for "Jianghu II" is very high.

In addition, the beast has also found Party A, and when the time comes, in the second season of "Never Expected", their brand will be put in front of the brand for brand exposure, and after the filming, they will continue to help them do publicity at the end of the film.

The beast revealed some of his side of the script slightly, and Jiang Bai nodded straight after listening to it.

In addition, Jiang Bai asked the follow-up plan of the beast again, whether he planned to continue filming the third season of "Never Expected", or whether he would shoot something else.

And after the success of the first season, while writing the script for the second season, the beast is indeed thinking about its future path.

The series "Never Expected" is indeed very good, he doesn't plan to give up, but at the same time he also plans to open another IP, as for what content to shoot, he is still thinking about it, but the style is definitely still the funny style of "Never Expected".

At the same time, he also thought that if the people in his main creative team were still there, he could also shoot a series of theme dramas for each of them.

After hearing the plan of calling the beast, Jiang Bai also nodded, in terms of planning for the future, the beast is still very perfect.

At the same time, he felt that the idea of calling the beast was somewhat similar to his own, that is, to praise everyone who had hope of becoming popular as much as possible.

Because Jiang Bai knows that whether a person can become popular or not has nothing to do with his appearance, as long as his ability is enough, he has the potential to be popular.

As for "Never Expected", as long as the leading actors have a holiday, they can start filming immediately, this time he is going to shoot while filming, anyway, an episode will only be about ten minutes.

There are not a lot of materials, so how can I catch up with overtime.

When the episode that promotes "Jianghu II" is broadcast, it will almost be able to catch up with the second month of the release of "Jianghu II", and then pull a wave of traffic to "Jianghu II".

……

Returning to "Fast and Furious" again, Lin Yibin called several other directors to spend three days and three nights checking the pictures they had shot before, and after all the problems, they started to hold auctions.

Of course, this step is also necessary, otherwise when the car is sold, it will be found that some shots need to be retaken, and things will become troublesome.

You can borrow it from those buyers, but who knows where the car will be delivered?

If people go directly to the United Kingdom and France, they will have to be transported from Europe to this side again, not to mention the time it takes to come and go, and the actors' schedules may not be able to be arranged.

So the inspection is a must.

As before, there were many well-known actors and celebrities from all walks of life at the auction.

Jiang Bai, as one of the leading actors, naturally has to greet these people politely, although he has already negotiated with the senior management of Universal about the agency distribution in North America, and if this cooperation is pleasant, he can also find them to continue the agency in the future.

But there is always no harm in increasing more contacts in these places, but Jiang Bai has made friends with some people who have a good impression of China and do business, as for the political circles, he has no contact, if the other party comes over, then smile and chat, and there are not too many in-depth exchanges.

At the auction, Jiang Bai took a fancy to a total of two cars.

And Jiang Bai also spent three million dollars to finally photograph both cars.

Although Paul Walker also took a fancy to one of them, when Paul Walker saw that Jiang Bai also made a bid, he decisively gave up.

It's just that after the auction is over, everyone plans to go back, but Jiang Bai stopped Paul this time, and then directly threw away one of the car keys.

"White?"

Paul Walker looked at the key in his hand with some puzzlement.

Jiang Bai smiled: "I saw this Chevrolet Corvette I liked it very much before, so I gave it to you, although this car was driven by Fan in the movie, but I asked him before, although he himself liked this car, but he didn't want to collect it, so you can accept this car, as a thank you for giving me the car before." ”

Paul Walker really likes this sports car, and when Vin Diesel practiced during previous filming, Paul Walker rubbed it many times.

"This is a beautiful national treasure-level sports car, launched in the fifties of the last century, it has a history of 60 years, did you just give me this car?"

"Of course, we have an old Chinese saying called a gentleman's word, a horse is hard to chase, and there is another word called reciprocating a peach, when I couldn't afford it, you gave me that car, and now I will definitely repay you.

Although this car can be affordable if you buy it yourself, I want to have these two cars as a testimony to our friendship. ”

"Hahaha, thank you, brother."

Paul Walker came up and bumped fists with Jiang Bai, and then hugged him loudly: "I'll take this car, and I'll play with you when I go to China in the future." ”

"No problem."

After that, everyone went back to the hotel, and the car Jiang Bai bought was a classic sports car driven by the character Mia in the play, this car is made in Japan, the brand is Toyota, and the model is ns X-R.

It's like a human blink.

It's just that Jiang Bai thinks that this black looks average, and he plans to change it to white when he turns around.

After participating in the auction, Jiang Bai stayed here for another day to complete the various procedures at the auction house, and returned to China after paying the commission.

The filming this time was much smoother than expected, and after coming back, Jiang Bai just caught up with the premiere of "Jianghu II".

So I didn't have time to rush to participate in the screening of "Jianghu II".

After running around in major cities in China and publicizing a wave, they put the premiere in Yanjing.

At the premiere, Jiang Bai also specially invited some domestic cosplay players to wear costumes in "Jianghu II" to welcome those media and invited insiders.

At the same time, banners were also hung outside the theater, some of which were made by Jiang Bai himself, but more were made by Jiang Bai's friends.

Zhang Yi was also invited to attend the premiere this time.

In fact, he also wants to see what kind of film Jiang Bai can make for the first time directing a movie, and whether it can surpass the first film directed by Jiang Wen.

After entering the venue, he and Jiang Bai chatted for a long time, but there were only two topics, one was the martial arts program of the Olympic Games, and the other was a movie.

"Director Zhang, I have found more than 2,000 people, although I went out to shoot a drama some time ago, but their practice has not fallen, and I will ask them to rehearse to perfection in the next period of time, and strive to pass the first trial smoothly."

"Well, I'm relieved that you do things, as long as I cooperate with you, there is never a time when things go wrong, and now I'm more worried about other people, and I have to urge and urge again.

However, it is the first time for me to take on such a big project, and there will definitely be a lot of forks at that time, but Jiang Bai, when the time comes, you will be the martial arts group, and you are the person in charge of the martial arts group, so I will give you full authority over more than 2,000 people.

And when people are waiting to come in or something, you have to tell them to make sure you know where they are at all times. ”

"Don't worry, Director Zhang, I will definitely bring more than 2,000 people well."

"Hmm." Zhang Yi nodded, and then patted Jiang Bai on the shoulder, "But you sold Guanzi to me before, and you have always refused to talk about movies, and this time you are about to go in, you can always reveal a little bit to me, right?" ”

"It's really not good, really, don't be in such a hurry, it's all come to this point, it's so disappointing to know the plot in advance, just wait to go in and take a look, but I'm not sure if the second part can surpass the first, anyway, I've done my best."

"I know this, you didn't come to me at that time, if your film is really bad, don't tell others that I taught you when you go out, if they have to ask, you can say that Chen Kexin taught you."

"Hahaha, don't worry, I will definitely throw all the pots on Director Chen's head when the time comes."

After chatting, Jiang Bai personally took Zhang Yi to the reserved seat.

And Jiang Bai also returned to his seat, surrounded by Xiao Yang, Zhao Zhe and others, who were all the main creators of this film.

Before the movie started, they still showed a VCR, which is also everyone's expectation for this film.

Jiang Wen, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Wu Yanzu, Peng Yuyan, Yuan Heping, Cheng Xiaodong...... Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jason Statham and others have appeared.

It can be described as full of noodles.

And this VCR is also the first time it has appeared.

Because Jiang Bai didn't have a bottom in his heart before the screening, but after the screening, Jiang Bai found that the evaluations of those moviegoers were very high, and some people even said that this film was not worse than the first one, and even faintly surpassed.

In the second part, the shooting is also more realistic.

Jiang Bai's directing style was still influenced by Jiang Wen to a certain extent, although Zhang Yi also taught Jiang Bai a lot, but Jiang Bai learned more from the other party about the use of color in movies.

As for the art of storytelling, it has to be Jiang Wen.

Wait until the VCR is finished.

The big screen dimmed, then lit up again.

The film begins. (End of chapter)
