Chapter 31: You Have a Story, I Have Wine

Recently, Director Yang filmed Jiang Tian and their robbers' group scene, which is also the highlight of the movie, a fight similar to that between old boys.

This kind of scene where two gangs of bad guys kill each other because of misunderstandings abound, but it's really troublesome to film. For this episode, the director plans to finish filming in a week.

And the location of the shooting was in the bomb shelter, but not the real bomb shelter.

It is an "old classmate hot pot" built by the crew in a factory area in Shuangfu, Jiangjin, and it looks like an air-raid shelter hot pot, with piles of beer boxes and Jiang Xiaobai posters on the wall, just like an authentic Chongqing hot pot restaurant style.

The place is small, and it is not easy to fight. In this fight scene, the director invited a Korean action director team. The leader is called ChoDonghyuk, and the two sides do not understand the language, and sometimes they directly use their hands to gesticulate, which makes Jiang Tian and them amazed.

How brave you are in the last second, how cowardly you are in the next second. After Xu Dong was caught by the robbers, he was tied up with Liu Bo, Yu Xiaohui, and Wang Pingchuan, and his body was drenched in gasoline.

The four protagonists confided in each other on the side, and Jiang Tian and the four robbers walked around on the side.

Just when Jiang Tian and the others were about to throw down the lighter, Seventh Brother rushed in with someone, and a group fight was staged.

Before the fight, he pretended to be a force, holding a spear and iron rod on the other side, and the robbers were posing, pulling the tie and unbuttoning it by the way, Jiang Tian squatted down and stretched out his hand to tie up his long hair.

This hair-tying scene, Jiang Tian filmed it three times before it succeeded, the director's requirements are relatively high, and he has to tie it naturally and look good, but Jiang Tian really doesn't have that experience, so he barely passed it later.

Fighting in a hot pot restaurant, that's pots and pans flying, both as weapons and as defense. After filming a scene, several batches of props were changed.

This is not the end, among them, Yin Fang's big backpack was cut open in the fight, and the coins in the torn bag flew out, and the red tickets flying in the sky made people adrenaline soar, and they couldn't help but reach out to grab it.

Stimulate!

In the whole scene, Jiang Tian has been pretending to be cool and fierce in the early stage, and only after being stabbed in the back did he have a painful expression, and the overall performance is still very relaxed, and the big head is to watch their action scenes.

Fortunately, he has been preparing for a long time in the early training, and Jiang Tian's action scenes feel okay, at least he has grasped the essence, he is fast and ruthless, and he punches to the flesh.

In the end, they completed the shooting in the director's plan, and Jiang Tian also ushered in the completion of the first film.

On May 11, the crew held a small finale banquet.

Except for the male protagonist in the protagonist group, everyone else is finished. In the robber group, except for Wang Yanlin, the three apprentices were finished. The rest of the plot will wait for Chen Kun to come back from the event before filming, Jiang Tian has read the script, it is also a highlight,

The alleys were filled with a damp and grim atmosphere, high walls and wires, exhausting fights, unrecognizable scars......

With the experience of the completion of "Heartless Mage", Jiang Tian's sense of parting at the finale banquet this time was not so strong, I thought it was going through the motions, but I didn't expect everyone to be so sincere......

At the finale banquet, after three rounds of wine, the director said a lot.

Starting from "Nightclub", more than a dozen small-budget films such as "Bullfighting" and "My Tang Dynasty Brothers" were released in China that year, and it was also the first boom of domestic small-budget comedy films, and "Nightclub" was just one of them, which was discussed and criticized.

Many people wanted to get to know him, and people kept telling him, "Yang Qing, what should you do next...".

"At that time, I would have naively thought that those were also part of the movie, and those people were filmmakers", so for a long time after filming "Nightclub", Yang Qing spent useless time in these conversations and meetings, and his creation was repeatedly interrupted.

It wasn't until later that he slowly understood, "It seems that everyone in this world wants to help you, but they have more of their own purposes, and no one really cares who you are." ”

Those criticisms also frustrated Yang Qing, who knew very well that the commercial success was fleeting, and that "Nightclub" was the result of the director's lack of mature control, which was a shameful failure for him.

In the following time, he decided to put aside his work for the time being, and did his best to help Xu Guangtou write the script of "People in Embarrassment 2".

"Even though it wasn't my favorite story at the time, I was willing to do it for my friends."

In order to wait for "Nightclub" to start, Xu Guangtou did not accept other film appointments for the whole year.

It took them a few months to write the outline of the script, but they had a conceptual conflict with the copyright owner of "People in Embarrassment 2", and they were dragged into a long-term copyright dispute, and both sides were entangled and consumed each other.

At the beginning of 2011, there was a dark tide in the industry, and film and television companies began to carry out the original accumulation of talents, and they used their own resources or advantages to sign screenwriters and directors.

Dozens of well-known screenwriters and directors have signed contracts with major film and television companies, screenwriters Lu Wei, Liu Heng, Lan Xiaolong, Kong Ergou, directors Wu Yusen, Zhang Baibai have completed the signing of the contract with Pony Galloping, Yang Qing is also one of the directors who were interviewed at the same time, and the agency wants to sign Yang Qing and Xu Guangtou together to Pony Galloping to be the signing studio.

Then Yang Qing talked about the deceased Li Ming, the former chairman of the Pony Galloping Group, and he put his arm around Yang Qing's shoulders and said, "It's brothers, let's do business together." ”

Until now, Li Ming is the "big brother" respected by Yang Qing in his heart, and after stripping off the multiple coats of businessmen and film and television company bosses, he has affection in his bones.

Yang Qing said, "There is a certain smell between us, people will be bullied in the industry, and I hope to have a big brother by my side to carry it together."

"It's a pity that he left us early, alas......"

Jiang Tian listened very carefully, these were all blind spots of knowledge that he didn't know before.

The copyright issue of "People in Embarrassment" has been entangled and delayed for a long time, and then it was Yang Qing who proposed to "change the story and go to Thailand to shoot", and he put forward this idea to everyone in Pony Galloping, including the producer and boss, but no one supported him, and it seemed that only he and Xu Guangtou could see the prospects of this project.

He tried to persuade him countless times, and the idea was finally approved after a long process, but then he was once again at a stalemate on personnel and budget issues, and he was frustrated by the long period of attrition.

He collected a lot of information about Thailand for Xu Guangtou, gave the name "Thai Embarrassment", and then sent an email to Xu Guangtou.

wrote in the email, "Brother Zheng, I'm quitting, you go to shoot "Thai Embarrassment", this is the movie you have always wanted to make, but it is not the movie I have always wanted to make, I can only accompany you here, and the rest of the way will go by yourself." ”

Jiang Tian remembered a sentence: There is a state of life, with its own unruly edges and bones, which will not be pulled by external forces, it is its own shape, and the summary is to go your own way and let others say it.

Director Yang paused, and he continued, "I don't regret it, from that time on, I was ready to make my own movie, that is, "Hot Pot Hero". ”

"There were ups and downs in the middle, and it wasn't until now that the film was almost finished."

"So I'm so grateful to be able to come together with all of you and create this film together, and I really thank you for that."

After he finished speaking, he raised his wine glass and toasted everyone, and Jiang Tian and the others applauded him.

After the director finished expressing his thoughts, he proposed that everyone express their thoughts in turn, and everyone said what was in their hearts.

Maybe Director Yang said so much and opened everyone's chatterbox, and Chen Kun also said a lot.

"If I hadn't left at the age of 17 to go to BJ, I might have a high school degree, living with my mother in Chongqing, and doing some petty theft for the sake of life."

"Liu Bo is a bit like me, if I don't leave, it's like this, just like myself in a parallel world..."

Then he talked about his encounter with the director, then excused himself, the director visited again, etc., and then said that in such a place so close to home, he reconciled with himself and his biological father.

Jiang Tian felt that today's finale banquet was a story bureau, and Brother Kun burst into tears as he spoke.

During this period, Chen Kun glanced at Jiang Tian's side several times, and Jiang Tian only noticed that Yin Fang's mood next to him was wrong, and he was pouring wine all the time.

Jiang Tian glanced at him sideways, only to see his face full of tears.

"You..."

Yin Fang wiped his tears, "It's okay... I'm sorry... It's affecting you. ”

Jiang Tian patted him on the shoulder, "How come, buddy, don't bear it, just cry if you want to." ”

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
