I really don't want to fight with gods

Chapter 405 The career is not delayed

Jing Xiaoqiang is really busy.

He came to the bar mainly because this is where the film crew is currently stationed, the old director also lives here, and all the other people live in the old bungalows rented nearby.

It can be regarded as an early experience of the old Shanghai style.

It is next to the flower consulate, very compelling.

Then it is to bring all the main creative personnel together for a meeting.

Explain the scripts of his next two films.

"Taiping Wheel" was the highlight, and everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it.

The director took a pipe and smoked fiercely!

The "Shanghai 1920" that Chen Weiyu and Qiao En will star in has an investment of about 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

It is a very standard Hong Kong style, similar to the TV series "Shanghai Beach".

But when Jing Xiaoqiang talked about the script of "Taiping Wheel", all the main creators had a feeling of wow, so eye-catching!
When making this kind of historical film in China at this time, I like to turn it into an epic of the times.

There are so many characters involved, and it would be a pity if there are not more than a dozen important characters in the film. These characters use their own ups and downs in life to strengthen their historical significance.

It looks vast, but it is easy to distract the theme of the movie.

"(tai) Tai (tan) Ping (ni) Wheel (ke)" narrated by Jing Xiaoqiang is so simple and clear that it is outrageous.

It's a story about the hero and heroine getting on the boat, going to bed, jumping off the boat, and jumping as you jump.

But it portrayed the picture scroll of life and death very profoundly.

The point is, this is a visual feast!
In addition to the good-looking protagonist of handsome men and beautiful women, it is the majesty and might of the passenger ship, and the tragic and tragic sinking.

This is a love disaster movie.

The plot is so thin, but from Jing Xiaoqiang's description, everyone thinks it will be very good!
Including but not limited to, looking for an old ship in Shanghai to transform it into a luxury cruise ship of that era, many shots of the big ship were performed in models and pools several meters long.

In fact, Hollywood has long had this tradition of filming under the sun.

Then superimpose the effect of computer synthesis... Uh, this doesn't seem to exist now, but it's not a big problem.

The Titanic, which cost more than a billion yuan to shoot, naturally has its advantages, but it must also have its waste.

After all, the crew not only burned a lot of money, but also produced a lot of oolongs, and spent a lot of money in the exploration.

And the same movie was shot in China, and it was shot in Hollywood.

Just like the labor costs on both sides, there is a huge difference.

Jing Xiaoqiang is confident that he will spend 5000 million yuan to shoot a version that is not bad. After all, the main point of this movie is still the romantic love between shredded meat and receiving guests.

The magnificent exterior scene is just a supporting role for the icing on the cake.

All the main creators were looking forward to it, even Qiao En looked at Chen Weiyu and asked who the heroine was.

Chen Weiyu didn't say a word.

Because the old director was a little hesitant, how about combining the old Shanghai and Shanghai Jianghu dramas that look very Hong Kong movies into one?
Isn't this going to erase her heroine?

Fortunately, Jing Xiaoqiang is still a bowl of water: "Oh oh oh, I still have to shoot..."

There was a burst of laughter in the bar.

Probably everyone could see his favoritism, Chen Weiyu had to bite the corner of her mouth hard again, not to reveal her emotions.

But what Jing Xiaoqiang said made sense: "Listen to the outline of the script of the third movie first..."

This is also an idol romance film that impressed him very deeply: "Love Returns to Paris".

Probably in 95 or 96, he had the most painful and difficult time in his long-distance relationship with Bai Lianting in his previous life. He often squatted in a rental house and watched DVDs to escape reality.

The love poison in this movie is so beautiful that he has watched it countless times.

Harrison Ford's word-of-mouth romance is not difficult or expensive.

But the scene where Cinderella turns into a princess and attracts the prince is very interesting in the real world.

"According to my idea, the country girl has liked the bohemian second young master since she was a child, and she stayed away from the dull and serious young master, but the second young master looked down on her until her father, the driver of the master's family, sent her daughter to Shanghai. After Hai came to study and work and became a capable and fashionable woman, the second young master who had a marriage contract came to pursue her again. In order to prevent the family marriage from being ruined by his younger brother's debauchery, the eldest young master had to interrupt, and finally fell in love with the heroine..."

This time Chen Weiyu took the lead in booing: "I want to play this!"

Jing Xiaoqiang quickly complimented: "You don't have a taste of the country..."

Monica hummed in satisfaction.

The atmosphere was so active that Chang Danlin was very excited to be such a team member.

What a future career to look forward to.

Jon asked seriously: "Then where is the heroine of this movie? Who will play the second young master?"

Jing Xiaoqiang first pointed to himself: "In order to save costs, let me come as a cameo for this bohemian character..." Then he pointed to the corner of the bar.

Lan Ling, who was just informed by Luo Li to bring her here, looked at the angle of her fingertips with incredible eyes, making sure that she was facing her face, and then stood up and bowed with shocking calm!
Luo Li hurriedly bent down to help her straighten her clothes and trousers.

With this psychological quality alone, Lan Ling's future is not ordinary.

Everyone turned around and stood up to look at her.

With a height of 1.6 meters, she is slim and capable but not aggressive at all. Wenwen's quiet appearance makes her temper stubborn, not a firm appearance that can be easily persuaded.

The word beautiful doesn't make sense for an actor of this level.

Because she seems to be explaining how a girl from a small place stands strong in this social circle.

Many veteran filmmakers from HK nodded to each other, confirming that this girl fits the temperament of the character.

Jon also watched: "Do you have a dancing background?"

Lan Ling is neither humble nor overbearing: "I am 14 this year and have practiced dancing for [-] years."

Jon nodded happily: "It's a great honor to work with you."

Jing Xiaoqiang raised the topic: "But this plot is definitely not suitable for China today, so it can only be in 1940, or even before 1920, I think it should be in the countryside of Jiangnan..."

At this time, looking at it again, Lan Ling does have the kind of graceful and soft girl from Jiangnan. Although her actual personality is very different, but after hearing the outline of Jing Xiaoqiang's description, she immediately adjusted to a similar temperament.

It can also be regarded as a talent for role switching.

Chen Weiyu couldn't help but secretly glanced at her man again. After all, she was born in a beauty pageant, and then started filming after two months of training in a TV station training class.

Compared with this talented super hardworking player, the gap is a bit big.

A little inferior!

This is an emotion that she rarely showed in HK before.

But what Jing Xiaoqiang cares about is: "In this way, we will almost have three movies of similar eras to start shooting at the same time, so as to save money to the maximum extent, and almost all extras, props, and scenes can be shared, which can be regarded as sharing the cost, and then we can target different audiences. the market to make a profit..."

Because according to Jing Xiaoqiang's vision, and Boss Ou's promise to him, he will assist "Taiping Wheel" to go to theaters in European and American markets.

Then 1920 must focus on the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets. This "Love Returns to Shanghai" is mostly aimed at the mainland market.

Of course, there will definitely be cross-coverage, the Taiping Wheel is compatible downwards, and the global market, the Southeast Asian market, and the Asian mainland market will all make money.

The only problem is: "Jon may be stereotyped. In the future, when others mention you, you will be the image of the early [-]th century..."

In fact, Jon has always had this problem. He is so handsome. He mentioned that he is an image of a troubled son with a big back.

There is no way to integrate him into other characters.

He himself frowned when he heard it, but Jing Xiaoqiang fooled him with a single sentence: "But your main stage in the future is a musical, and these characters are just passers-by for you to increase your attention..."

Jon immediately nodded deeply!

With an introverted personality like him, being able to return to the stage is his favorite.

Therefore, what Jing Xiaoqiang can hand over now is the relatively complete script of "Taipinglun", and the script of "Love Returns to Shanghai" that needs to be filled with dialogue and scenes.

The prop master has to start thinking about how to complete this part from now. In the next six months to a year, the entire film crew will be stationed in Shanghai and busy all their lives.

And Jing Xiaoqiang, as the producer of the latter two films, can only participate in the Spring Festival Gala in February and the Broadway performance in March.

The time of the whole crew has to be arranged like this.

Everyone began to claim their jobs one after another, and even Uncle Cheng, who had been leaning on the counter and listening with gusto, raised his hand: "I know Taipinglun, the boss's descendants are my friends, and there are photos and materials about Taipinglun at his home. Invite him to dinner!"

Jing Xiaoqiang said yes repeatedly.

In fact, what Uncle Cheng said quietly was: "Go home for dinner tonight?"

Jing Xiaoqiang is well-known all over the country, and he still made this request, amused: "Okay, I'll pick up Missy."

Uncle Cheng lowered his voice: "Must me into the crew too, so I can take Auntie to see a peep show!"

Then there is no problem!
I just don't know which aunt it is.

Sitting in a bar in the winter sun, accompanied by a cup of coffee or whiskey, or Australian wine, we had a meeting for two or three hours.

Many bar regulars began to appear and greeted Jing Xiaoqiang in surprise.

He just ended his official duties, smiled and responded to others, sat down and asked Luo Li: "I don't have a role for you now, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Luo Li was taken aback: "Why, you're going to Pingjing again soon?"

After being separated for two months, the emotions accumulated from the crew of "Snow Valley" seem to have improved a lot, at least not as dependent as before.

But Luo Li still liked to look up at his face, slowly smiling.

Jing Xiao teased her emphatically: "I haven't seen enough handsome guys these days. Shall I put you in the crew and watch it every day as a supporting role?"

Luo Li shook her head: "I don't think I'm able to help you right now. There are still some small things I need to do. I can't just take all the class notes for you."

Jing Xiaoqiang asked her: "Where's your court drama script?"

Luo Li seemed to have gotten used to sticking out her head, and keeping her head back, she took out a soft copy from her bag.

Handing it over as if death was home: "Just don't laugh."
