Chapter 194: Master
Chen Bald called the money, a full 50 million, Cao Ping didn't expect him to be able to come up with so much money at once, but I heard Lao Yang say that the small and medium-sized enterprises in the surrounding cities have borrowed money from him, and he has made a lot of money over the years. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info notified Xiao Zuo and asked her to donate the money to the Jackie Chan Charity Foundation, and the matter was over. Otherwise, what else can be done? Even if you kill a bald man Chen, as well as Bald Li, and Bald Wang, there is a market, and only when there is demand can there be a market, with Cao Ping's current ability, he can only go so far.
Time is running out, Huo Jianhua, Jiang Xin, Zhang Danfeng, their salaries are not low, it is impossible for them to take their salaries for nothing and wait for Cao Ping's role to finish filming, Director Lin is also interspersed with the filming of scenes, and soon, it is time to leave. The scene was filmed in a hurry, but with the blessing of Sister Qingxia, the effect was not bad.
The day after Cao Ping's scene was completed, he asked Sister Dao to buy a ticket to Tianjin, Director Xu had already urged him several times, and he didn't have time to go back to Beijing, so he could only arrange work for them through video.
Yingbao has been transferred to Wenlian Company for more than two months, but the agent has not yet been determined, and there is usually only one assistant on the set to help run errands, and Cao Ping himself does not even have an assistant, so he books tickets and packs his luggage by himself. He can do without an assistant, but the marketing and promotion of the personal image brand of the two must be done by professional people. Although they can also find a professional brokerage company to do it like Sister Zhang, they are always not reliable from their own people. Therefore, the little white face needs to be responsible for recruiting two professional brokers in the near future.
As early as when Hua Qiangu released the news of the start of filming, several satellite TVs had already expressed interest. Now that half of the filming has been made, and the plot is almost out, Cao Ping asked Director Lin to cut some clips and send them back to the company first, and let the noodles be taken to make a promotional video for the special effects company.
After arriving in Tianjin, Director Xu sent a special car to pick him up. After arriving at the hotel, Cao Ping hurriedly put down his luggage and went to Xu Dao to make amends.
Xu Haofeng and Cao Ping have known each other relatively early, he was originally one of the screenwriters of "The Grandmaster", and he is also a martial arts novel author, who studies martial arts, so when he was on the set of the Grandmaster, he often chatted with Cao Ping and his martial arts practitioners.
Xu Haofeng began his literary creation in 1997, and unlike the romantic martial arts of the Jin Gu school, his martial arts novels created a school of documentary literature, allowing martial arts culture to return to reality, and is a representative of the modern martial arts literature continent. The martial arts world built is different from any martial arts world, there is no eaves and walls, no heaven and earth, only the duel of wisdom and skill between flashing and moving, and it is a real martial arts that bids farewell to stunts, special effects, dances, and hanging Weiya. This is also the reason why Cao Ping hurried to hurry, and even streamlined the shots, and hurriedly finished filming the scene of killing Qianmo to shoot this "Master".
Director Xu was taking Liao Fan, Song Jia, and his assistant Wang Jin to eat hot pot outside, and when Cao Ping went in, they were in full swing to put mutton inside.
"Teacher Xu, Teacher Liao Fan, Teacher Song Jia, Brother Jin!" Cao Ping greeted everyone and shook hands.
"Who is this?" Director Xu asked, who had never seen Sister Dao.
"Oh, this is my assistant, called Ying Xiaodao. Cao Ping introduced it, and Sister Dao also gave face and said hello to everyone.
Director Xu joked with Cao Ping: "If you don't come again, I'm going to call Song Yang back and start filming." Song Yang is also Director Xu's team, in 2012 "The Trail of the Widows", he played Liang Jinlu, and later filmed a movie of the same name also based on Xu Haofeng's novel "Arrow Warrior Willow White Ape", but it was not released for various reasons.
This is a joke, but if you think about it carefully, it is a bit of a question, Cao Ping smiled bitterly, grabbed the wine bottle and poured a full glass of wine and said: "I was wrong, Director Xu, I will punish myself with three glasses first!"
No explanation at the dinner table was as useful as three glasses of wine, and Xu Daoben was complaining, so he laughed and joked: "I think you are gluttonous." ”
Cao Ping drank three glasses of wine in a row, but his face did not change, and his crisp and neat performance also won the favor of Liao Fan and Song Jia. Liao Fan is a native of Hunan, he is a bold character, Song Jia is even more arrogant, he considers himself a man on weekdays, seeing Cao Ping's arrogance, Liao Fan also poured a glass of wine, came to clink glasses with Cao Ping, and said: "Cao Ping...... Well, I'm not very good at talking, it's nice to meet you, I respect you. As he spoke, he tilted his neck and drank a glass of wine.
This drank a little suddenly, Cao Ping hurriedly finished drinking, and then said politely: "Teacher Liao Fan, it's really polite, I should respect you, I just want to learn something from you this time." Liao Fan just won the actor in Berlin in February this year, which is the first time a Chinese actor has been killed, and in front of him, Cao Ping didn't dare to make a mistake.
"I can't talk about it, I can't talk about it. Liao Fan was already wooden, and he didn't know how to say: "Learn from each other." ”
"He's just stupid, he usually doesn't have much to say, come, let's go!" Song Jia smiled and picked up the wine glass. She and Liao Fan are old acquaintances, both brothers and sisters who graduated from the play, and the two also cooperated in "Curiosity Kills the Cat" in 06, and this is the second time they have collaborated in eight years.
After Cao Ping was also full, he drank one with her, Song Jia asked with a smile: "I watched "The Grandmaster", that action is so beautiful, which section was designed by you?" Liao Fan also seemed to have just remembered, and interjected: "Yes, I also watched it, that film is good." ”
Cao Ping smiled and said politely: "Actually, I can't say which paragraph, it was the first time I participated in the action design of the movie, mainly learning from the eighth master, and most of the actions were decided by the eighth master." ”
Xu Haofeng said with a smile: "Don't listen to him politely! Xiao Cao is a real kung fu, and he is also very talented in movie action design, otherwise how could I invite him to be a martial artist, and also change Song Yang to let him play the second male lead?"
"Mr. Xu has won the award. Cao Ping said with a smile, Xu Haofeng is the tutor of the Beiying Director Department, and when he was in Beiying class, Cao Ping also audited several of his classes, and since then, he has called Xu Haofeng teacher.
After four or five rounds of wine, the mutton was also scalded, and everyone put down their chopsticks and continued to eat.
Xu Haofeng knew Cao Ping's amount of food, and called the waiter to add some meat and vegetables, Liao Fan asked the director while eating: "Then Xiao Cao come here, will we start filming?"
Xu Haofeng nodded and said, "Of course, if it is delayed any longer, it should be autumn, Jin Shijie will arrive tomorrow, and we will start filming the day after tomorrow." Saying that, he turned back to Wang Jin and said, "You will be responsible for contacting the Qishilin and the British Club tomorrow, and we will shoot these two scenes first." Wang Jin nodded in response.
Looking back, Xu Haofeng asked Cao Ping again: "Xiao Cao, do you have a first draft of your action design?"
Cao Ping swallowed the mutton in his mouth, nodded and said, "I already have a rough idea, I'll show you when I go back." "Action design, there has never been a statement of compiling routines in advance, mainly to meet the needs of the director, most of the action of action movies are designed by Wu Zhi and the director together, running-in, sometimes when shooting on the spot, it has to be changed on the spot.
Cao Ping has read the original work, and his requirements for Xu Haofeng are relatively clear, what he wants is a real kung fu fight scene, in other words, a display of real killing skills, so there is no need to choreograph a lot of fancy martial arts movements, everything is based on actual combat, which is also the most important point to attract Cao Ping.
Liao Fan also nodded and said: "Then I'll take a look too, I've been in optical boxing these days, and I'm still worried about getting started with weapons." ”
Director Xu joked and said, "I had an agreement with him before, if he practiced Wing Chun well, we would shoot Wing Chun, and if he didn't practice well, he would change his name, Liao Fan would get up at four o'clock every day to practice boxing these days, and finally there was no risk of being chased and killed by Wing Chun Gate." ”
Cao Ping nodded and asked, "Then Mr. Xu, is Mr. Liao Fan mainly boxing or weapons in our movie?"
Xu Haofeng put down his chopsticks and said: "In recent years, the movies of Wing Chun have been filmed with fists and feet, and the martial arts of the Republic of China in "The Grandmaster" can actually be said to tell the story of a group of boxers, not to mention Donnie Yen's "Ip Man", which is just a layer of skin. So I'm not going to shoot fists and kicks in this movie, I'm going to focus on weapons, focusing on the eight slashes of Wing Chun, and the six and a half sticks. In the 19 martial arts halls in Tianjin, I am going to show all 18 kinds of weapons, and I will shoot the real number of fighting paths. ”
Cao Ping frowned slightly and nodded and thought, if all the fights were fought with weapons, it would be a bit tricky, not to mention that it was necessary to strive for truth, this is probably not only a lot of pressure on Liao Fan, but also the supporting roles have to find people with a foundation, which requires a high quality of group performances! Xu Haofeng wants to use this movie to confirm his strength in commercial films, not only the cast is strong, but also the props are quite hard, they are all real guys who have no blades, if you shoot like this, the actors are easy to get hurt! However, these things should be worried about by Director Xu, and he doesn't have to think about it for the time being.
But at this time, Sister Dao, who was quietly eating quietly on the side, suddenly opened her mouth and said: "If you want to shoot a real fighting effect, and you have to fight against eighteen kinds of weapons, I'm afraid it can't be done in a few days, right?"
Cao Ping kicked her under the table, but Director Xu seemed to be interested and asked, "Oh?
Glancing at Cao Ping, Sister Dao said with a smile: "After reaching a certain realm, you can have a knife in your hand or not, because you practice the law, the so-called "eight chopping knives", that is, the knife method is also the law of using the word "Yong" eight methods, so it is named "Eight Chopping Knife", it shows not the ferocity of killing, but the way of a gentleman. ”
"I didn't expect Miss Ying to also have research on the Eight Chopping Knife. Xu Haofeng said with a smile.
Sister Dao said: "The killing skills are not good-looking, and the decision of life and death is in the slightest, such an action will not be loved by anyone if it is filmed in the movie, right?"
This was a bit unkind, but Xu Haofeng was not angry, but said with great interest: "Could it be that Miss Ying also knows this?"
Sister Dao didn't make a sound, took the napkin, wiped the chopsticks, held one in each hand, and raised it in front of Cao Ping, and said with a smile: "Take a hand?"
