There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 406 White Orchid

Jinxi Town, located in Kuncheng, Suzhou City, is not as famous as Wuzhen and Nanxun, but it can be regarded as an alternative place for self-driving tours in Shanghai. "The town is a country, surrounded by water on all sides", "you need a boat to travel close to you", the water alleys, river ports, arch bridges, arcades, Langfang, and markets, the charm of the water town is highlighted by the historical and cultural accumulation of more than [-] years. A breathtakingly wonderful picture scroll.

"Sister Ruoxi, why did you change?" Sisi and Jiajia couldn't help exclaiming as they looked at Qin Ruoxi, who was dressed in leather and had braids of colored rope.

Qin Ruoxi, who let makeup artist Evan paint her face with oil, made a face at the two little girls, scaring them to hide behind sister Yaran, Qin Ruoxi complained to Qin Mohan: "Sister, you have to be a model too." Do you wear makeup like this?"

"This is the characteristic of the character you want to express." Qin Mohan said to his sister: "Models are different from actors. Actors can express the characteristics of characters through body, movement, and language. Models must express through colors."

Chen Man on the side agreed with Qin Mohan's words, and she said to Qin Ruoxi, "Little sister Qin, just make an expression of dissatisfaction on your face after a while, as long as you don't mind it, I'll take a picture."

In the series of youth that Chen Man shot for "Marie Claire", they are vigor, unrestrained, rebellious and ignorant.The rest of the groups were all filmed, only the rebellious group was not filmed.

She needs to find a strong sense of contrast, and this feeling can be found in Qin Ruoxi.In terms of appearance, Qin Ruoxi is undoubtedly beautiful. Although she has not grown up yet, she is a little green, but she is still among the top few models she has come into contact with. Such a beautiful appearance is deliberately covered with oil paint, plus Dressed in hip-hop style, it is in stark contrast with the antique Chinese town behind him, so the sense of contrast comes out.

Qin Ruoxi, who was already a little impatient, completely expressed her heart. The corners of her eyes showed a rebellious taste from time to time, and Chen Man was extremely excited. This is what she wanted.

It could be considered a mistake, Qin Ruoxi's first modeling career ended after more than half an hour.Chen Man was particularly satisfied when watching the unmodified original film through the notebook.

She is also a beauty, but in the photo, Qin Ruoxi has an astonishing beauty beyond her age between her brows. The original bland willow eyebrows have been simply modified by Evan, and they are slightly raised to look unruly. The long eyelashes are flickering like Two small brushes, and the most eye-catching thing is her eyes, which are unusually agile and energetic.

Chen Man said to Qin Mohan: "Little sister Qin is really a model, she perfectly expressed what I need. It's really great."

Qin Mohan looked at his sister who was taking off her makeup, and smiled at Chen Man.My father often said that he was a lucky person, probably Erya, but he didn't expect to be able to fool around like this.

"You hit it by mistake and got lucky." Qin Mohan couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, Chen Man wanted this kind of effect to be able to shoot smoothly, otherwise, your future fashion path will be closed, probably No one will ask you to shoot again."

Qin Ruoxi doesn't care about these things, and she has experience: "From now on, I will pose for photos casually, and I can do whatever I want, whether I like to shoot or not, this is my personality."

Shen Fang and Qin Mohan looked at each other and shook their heads, probably this is a manifestation of the post-zero generation people showing themselves.

After finishing filming, Chen Man declined Shen Fang and Qin Mohan's lunch invitation, and returned to Shanghai with her team and Qin Mohan's stylist Evan. She wanted to process the post-production and submit it to "Marie Claire" as soon as possible.Finish the work at hand, and officially start preparations for Shen Fang and Qin Mohan's wedding photography, including location selection, time plan arrangement, and consignment of the wedding dresses that Shen Fang and Qin Mohan have already made.

After breaking up, Shen Fang and Qin Mohan took their four girls to play in this lesser-known ancient town.First, I had a meal of authentic Jinxi food in a small private restaurant.Then the two of them took a little girl and walked in the streets and alleys of this ancient town, feeling the bricks and tiles of this ancient town.The two older girls were leading the way, and they suddenly smelled a trace of elegant and fresh fragrance, which quietly permeated the whole body and lingered around the nose.

"It smells so good, do you know what it is?" Qin Mohan looked at the two little girls chasing and playing around him, and couldn't help but ask Shen Fang beside him.

"It should be white orchids. Many people here like to raise this kind of small flowers, and they will bloom in summer."

Bailan is the warmest flower, and Jiangnan is the most fragrant in summer.Just as the two of them followed the fragrance to find the source, "Bai~Orchid, Bai~Orchid..." This voice with Wu Nong's soft Jiangnan accent wafted to their ears softly and waxy. The silver-haired old man squatted by the bridgehead of the small street, carefully fiddling with the basket in front of him.

A half-meter-square plaque basket was held up by a wooden stool, and a piece of semi-wet printed and dyed blue homemade cloth was placed on it. Rows of white flowers lay neatly on the blue homemade cloth, pure and white.A few drops of water have just been sprayed on the flowers, and the water vapor slides down the edges of the petals, where the flowers quietly exude a delicate fragrance.

"Uncle, it smells so good." Sisi asked, pointing at the little white flower.

"Grandma, how do you sell white orchids?" Shen Fang asked. Today is not the weekend, so there are not many people coming and going in the town, and Grandma's business is not very good.

"Two yuan for one."

"Grandma, sell them all to me. I like this fragrance." Qin Mohan said, she wanted to put these flowers at home so that she could smell them all the time.

There were about fifty white orchids. Qin Mohan put them in a bag, asked Grandma for some thin threads, threaded some of them, and gave Sisi and Jiajia one each.

"Thank you, Sister Mohan." The two little girls curiously brought the little flower hanging on their chests to their noses and sniffed it.

"Hey, Brother Lei, are you looking for me?..." Just after buying the white orchid, Shen Fang received a call from Shen Lei, turned his head and said to Qin Mohan: "Brother Lei has something to ask us, the company is not far from here, we went there for a while Let's go."

Jiang Zhiqiang and director Xu Chengyi looked sadly at Shen Lei and Davis Chen who were sitting opposite Shen Lei and Davis Chen in Guiax Tiangong Company in Kuncheng High-tech Industrial Park not far from Jinxi Ancient Town, hoping to hear their opinions .

"I don't recommend using AI face-swapping technology." Davis said: "I believe Mr. Jiang and Director Xu have learned something about it these days. "Fast and Furious" is different from ours. Paul Walker has completed the pre-shooting, It’s just that the special effects shots in the later stage were not completed. James Wen found Paul’s brother as a stand-in. The release of this year’s summer file will also be postponed to next year. If our film is completely replaced, firstly, it will take a lot of time. After all, Ke Dong is the male lead, and there are too many shots. Second, the cost is relatively large, and the estimated cost will exceed yours. several times the investment."

Looking at the bitter faces of the two, Davis did not hide it, and continued: "Our suggestion is to reshoot all the scenes involving the male protagonist, which will be more coordinated than simply using AI to change faces. After all, AI changes faces Some details of the final picture will be obviously incongruous, including color matching, character expressions and so on."

"Young Master Shen, let's borrow one of your conference rooms, let's discuss it first." Jiang Zhiqiang said to Shen Lei with a wry smile.

"Okay, I will lend you this meeting room." Shen Lei and Davis left the room to them.

"Director Xu, do you think what they said is true?" Jiang Zhiqiang looked at Xu Chengyi, who is an expert in animated films.

Xu Chengyi, born in Xiangjiang, has joined the DreamWorks founded by Spielberg since 1989, leading the animation team to create various commercial films, animated short films and feature films.Known as the father of "Shrek", he directed "Kung Fu Panda" and was a big hit. In 2012, he found Jiang Zhiqiang with his script "Monster Hunting" adapted from the ancient Chinese mythology "Shan Hai Jing". I will meet this cheater Ke Dong.

"Davis and I are also acquaintances. He has worked together several times in Hollywood when it was digital special effects. He didn't shake us just now." Xu Chengzhi said: "I have not been able to sleep at night these days, and I have been thinking about how to solve the problem. For this problem, the only way to save money is to reshoot, reshoot all the shots involving Kedong. It's just the cost..."

"Yes, there is a cost issue." Jiang Zhiqiang said with a wry smile: "This time I can't go public on schedule, and a lot of financing funds are starting to ask for repayment, plus follow-up investment, at least more than [-] million."

This is Xiangjiang's traditional method of shooting film and television dramas, mainly financing.Jiang Zhiqiang's Anse Films established the project "Monster Hunt" with an investment of 3000 million yuan and the remaining 4000 million yuan in external financing.The general financing cycle is about one year, and the film "Monster Hunt" involves a lot of post-production. Jiang Zhiqiang has increased the interest payment, and the financing period is set to two years. The interest he will pay will reach about 5000 million. This incident directly made the prospect of this film unclear, and whether it can be released has become a question mark. If the film’s original planned Spring Festival file cannot be released, he will also have to pay [-] million in liquidated damages. The gold was close to [-] million, which completely drove Jiang Zhiqiang to a dead end.

Xu Chengxin suggested: "Mr. Jiang, should we borrow from Shen Shaochou, who is a master of craftsmanship? Their "The Return of the Great Sage" has received a box office of 10 billion, and at least a profit of [-] to [-] million. And he is also backed by Shanghai. It should be no problem to borrow some from Shen’s house.”

Jiang Zhiqiang sighed: "Now many companies are not optimistic about the prospects of this film, and they don't know what price they will have to pay to get the required funds."

In the ensuing negotiations, Jiang Zhiqiang put forward the demand in this regard, hoping that Uncanny Works could provide some financial support, and Shen Lei also showed a embarrassed expression.

Over the past few years, Ghost Ax Tiangong has been relying on his personal support. The initial investment in the special effects industry is too large. , The production cost, the uncanny workmanship will earn more than 2 million yuan.After distributing part of the dividends, he still needs to set aside the cost of follow-up production. Now he is also stretched, especially since Wild Fox has proposed a series of production plans for sci-fi films. He still needs to purchase equipment by himself. , How can there be funds to support Jiang Zhiqiang?

"Why don't you consider asking Yezi to invest?" Kang Qiao woke up a few people from the side.Yes, you can also find this local tyrant to invest.
