This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Chapter 199 Jiang Bai's Story

Seeing that the few people reconciled again, Jiang Bai didn't talk about it anymore, instead he coaxed Ning Hao to invite guests to a big restaurant for dinner.

In fact, this time it was Zhao Zhe who had suffered some grievances. In the past, Ning Hao was the one who couldn't speak up to Zhao Zhe in many cases.

After all, Zhao Zhe has more experience in the industry, while Ning Hao is more idealistic, and ideals will succumb to reality most of the time.

Usually at that time, Zhao Zhe took the initiative to invite Ning Hao to dinner and drink after achieving his goal.

It can be said that although I have known Zhao Zhe for a longer time, the number of times the two went out to eat and drink alone, Zhao Zhe and Ning Hao are comparable to myself.

So in Jiang Bai's view, although the two of them quarrel every now and then, and sometimes they quarrel very fiercely, the relationship between them is more like iron buddies.

They cherish each other and are both teachers and friends, but they are never polite when they speak.

Even after the quarrel tonight, they didn't say a word to each other to control their anger, but when they met the next morning, they would act as if nothing happened.

But now that the matter has been settled, Zhao Zhe intends to take the film and send it over for review first.

In the evening they had another meal together.

Of course, this time it was Ning Hao's treat, but Ning Hao was not allowed to pay for the wine, because the wine was Moutai that Jiang Bai took from the car.

"Speaking of which, this wine was given by director Feng Xiaogang. It's a good wine, and it sells for thousands of dollars a bottle!"

Zhao Zhe and Ning Hao opened the wine with excitement, and then Ning Hao poured it for everyone present.

But Jiang Wen looked at it and shook his head: "What kind of good wine is this? If you take it outside, you can sell it to a bad guy, and it will only cost three thousand yuan at most. I still have several bottles of wine worth tens of thousands. They were all given by others, bring them over another day and let’s taste them together.”

"Okay! Jiang Ge is so big!"

Jiang Bai was the first to join in!
"Really? I've never drank a bottle of wine worth more than 1 yuan!" Ning Hao said in amazement, his eyes widened.

After entering this industry, he has heard about the extravagant life of many rich bosses and celebrities, but he himself has not experienced it much.

"That must be true. Look at you, who has never seen the world. I will give you two bottles when the time comes. You can drink slowly when you go home." Jiang Wen was very generous, and he admired this young man very much. The director and screenwriter are not stingy at all.

"That's so embarrassing." Ning Hao smiled, "However, thank you Brother Jiang first. I will definitely not want to drink this wine when I take it back. I have to save it until my son gets married!"

"Then why don't you wait until your first seven to get it?" Zhao Zhe jokingly said, because they have a good relationship with Ning Hao, so they usually talk about everything.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao, what you said is really ugly. What should I drink for the first seven days? Then I'm already in the old coffin. Could it be that my son and grandson pour the wine into the urn and mix the ashes with me? Can't say it?"

But after saying this, they remembered that when they were filming the crazy race car, those gang members picked out the ashes in front of Ning Hao's guest driver's taxi and rubbed them on their teeth.

So there was another burst of laughter.

Talking, laughing and laughing, the day's affairs were completely exposed.

Because they know each other well, although they usually quarrel, it is only because of differences of opinion.

It's normal for everyone to have different ideas about the creation of a movie, but as long as the final movie is good, that's enough.

If everyone is friendly, you care about my emotions, I care about your emotions, and dare not speak out if there is any problem, this is actually a big problem.

And Jiang Wen actually likes this kind of atmosphere very much. When it’s time to quarrel, it’s noisy, and when it’s good time, it’s good. They are all gentlemen. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. It’s boring to hide it, but after that, these things will pass No, there's no need to keep the small belly in your heart all the time.

"By the way, Jiang Bai, then you will be joining the Immortal Sword group in a while, have you done all the moves?"

Jiang Bai looked at Zhao Zhe who was asking himself a question, raised his wine glass and clinked with him, and said after drinking, "Of course everything is ready, I never fight unprepared battles."

"Ready? Didn't you have been filming a while ago? And you've only rested for a few days, and I haven't seen you preparing these."

Jiang Bai pointed to his head: "It's all in there. I may have to watch the literary drama, but I never need to make extra preparations for martial arts movements."

"As expected of Jiang Bai, the most capable person in the actor world, his words are tough, come and go!" Jiang Wen picked up his wine glass and touched Jiang Bai.

This bite, they go down a lot.

But after drinking, Zhao Zhe continued to ask him: "But now there is a problem that if you go to film Xianjian, you will be the leading actor and action director, and you will probably be very busy, but our racing car will also be in this section Time starts to promote, and you have to go to a lot of city roadshows, then your time..."

"Brother Zhao, I can't help it. I can only look at the arrangement of the announcement at that time. If I have time or I can spare time here, I will go to participate. If it doesn't work, I can only go. What I can strive for is to attend the premiere on the day."

"Well, that's the only way to do it now. In short, if you can come, you should come and show your face. After all, many people can enter the movie theater, but they are actually here for you."

"no problem."

As they talked, they talked about the future development of the company. Among the people who sat down again, except for Ning Hao, all of them had shares in the company.

It's just that although Ning Hao has no shares in the company, he is also the most indispensable person for the company to make movies. Even if Jiang Wen comes, Ning Hao is no less important than Jiang Wen.

Although Jiang Wen is very talented in filming and acting, considering the two films Jiang Wen made when he was a director, one was Sunny Days based on Wang Shuo's novel, which invested 200 million US dollars at that time. , As a result, the box office lost about 1000 million yuan, and the devils came and even failed to pass the review.

And Ning Hao made a film and directly made 3000 million.

Therefore, the values ​​of the two are different, and Ning Hao is naturally an indispensable talent for the company.

Therefore, when they get together, they must consider the future development direction of the company.

If the crazy car is successful, then they can continue to shoot their own film, but if the momentum of this film is not as good as the stone, then they have to think about whether to change to another track.

"By the way, Ning Hao, do you have any new plans in the future? Now that the car racing has been filmed, it will be released soon. What do you plan to do next?"

Just then Jiang Bai asked.

Ning Hao shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet, but this racing car and the previous stone actually belong to the same model, and I don't want to make this kind of thing anymore, although I'm better at this kind of comedy, But next I want to shoot something different.

It's just that I haven't made up my mind yet. In fact, as a director, I feel that I am still a little impetuous. So in the next year, I plan to settle down and find a few crews to be executive directors or directors. As an assistant director, I also learn from other people. "

"Indeed, it's good for you to think so. I think this movie has a relatively high chance of success. We voted for about 1000 million yuan. As long as the box office sells for 3000 million yuan, we can pay back. But I feel that the quality of your movie is unreasonable." It is definitely no problem to reach more than 6000 million.

But you really should study and study again, how about this, do you have a goal?If not, I will ask you later to see if I can introduce you to a few crews. "

"There is no target yet."

"Well, then I'll go back and look for you, or Brother Zhao, you can also ask for help."

"No problem." Zhao Zhe agreed straight away, and now he is basically familiar with this circle, and he can know in advance which crew is going to start or start a project, and is going to start recruiting actors.

And it's not going to be the chief director, but if you're just an assistant director and executive director, you should be able to ask.

"What about you, Brother Jiang? What are your plans?"

Jiang Bai looked at Jiang Wen again.

"What other plans do I have? I'm still banned and can't be a director, but Xu Jinglei called me a few days ago and wanted me to act in her movie. I'm still thinking about it, so let's start I didn't tell you, I plan to read the original work of this movie during this time, and if the movie is okay, I will go to her to shoot it.

After this year, I can continue to make movies, and I have already conceived a book, Jiang Bai, don't refuse me when the time comes. "

Jiang Bai nodded: "That's for sure, I will definitely support the projects of our company's own people, but what is the theme of your new movie, Brother Jiang?"

"The subject matter? If I have to say it, it should be a commercial film. It is divided into four stories. It seems unrelated, but it is actually very interesting if you think about it carefully."

After Jiang Wen said this, Zhao Zhe couldn't help but thump in his heart, because he heard Jiang Wen say yes before talking about commercial films.

Although we haven't been together for a long time, Zhao Zhe still has a certain understanding of Jiang Wen. If Jiang Wen's film is a pure commercial film, then he should be very sure that this is what it should be and not what it should be.

It's just that he didn't show anything at this time.

"Then we can read the script together later."

"No problem!" Jiang Wen agreed, "Old Zhao, you are also a screenwriter, I believe you will like it after reading it!"

After finishing speaking, they looked at Jiang Bai again: "What about you?"

"Me, now I have two films on hand, one is Immortal Sword, which is probably a fairy tale film, and the shooting cycle is also long. I guess I will have to stay in this group for the second half of this year, and there will be a mythology film next year. The Lotus Lantern is going to be filmed, and it is estimated that it will take another three or four months to make a base, but in fact, I also have a story here that I want to do, but I only have a story now, and I have to talk to you later to see if it can be filmed. cinematic possibilities."

When everyone heard that Jiang Bai had a story he wanted to film, they couldn't help becoming interested.

"what type is it?"

"Yes, Jiang Bai, are you going to transform and develop?"

Jiang Wen was even more excited: "Are you right? What's the point of being an actor? All the stories you shoot are other people's stories, so you have to be a director yourself. No matter if you lose money or make money, it's all yours." , People living in this world must have some works of their own.”

But Jiang Bai shook his head: "I'm not interested in being a director for the time being. Even if this story can be filmed, I plan to invite someone from the company to be the director. Either Brother Zhao, Ning Hao, or Brother Jiang. As for me It's too early to be a director.

After all, even Bao Qiang won Best Actor, but I haven't got anything yet. "

"Hahaha, you can't say that. Even if you don't win the best actor, your acting skills and achievements are obvious to all. Whether it's the audience, your peers, or the market, who doesn't recognize you now? ability and the appeal of the box office and ratings?"

"That's true, but I still plan to deepen my career as an actor first. As for the director, I will talk about it later."

Jiang Bai really didn't intend to be a director by himself. Firstly, he still lacks a lot of knowledge in this area. Secondly, he is also a director and a leading actor, and he also works part-time as an action director. When the time comes, I guess he will have to intervene in Wenxi, and he will have to continue With the screenwriter, there are too many things in that case.

It's better to take it slowly, after I really get a few actor trophies, and after I'm fully familiar with the director's various matters, it's too late to think about the transformation slowly.

"Then what kind of story do you have? Anyway, today is a long time, and everyone has nothing important to do tomorrow, so you can talk slowly, what are you afraid of when we have wine?"

Jiang Bai nodded: "Actually, this is a story about martial arts and the court, and it may be a bit longer to tell."

"The protagonist of this story, let's call him Jiang Bai for the time being..."

In this way, Jiang Bai slowly told his story with the help of wine.

The turbulence above the court, the danger in the martial arts, and the intrigue between people.

Conspiracy and plotting, strife and plot.

From being forced to be helpless to gradually adapting to his own identity, although his heart is bright, he is in darkness.

Until the protagonist who is also named Jiang Bai gradually sank, only the last bit of light remained in his heart, supporting him with painstaking efforts.

This protagonist is not a good person. In other words, under such an environment, he is not a good person at all.

In order to achieve his own goals, countless people died because of him, but because of the information he passed back, more people were saved from the sword.

But even so, his hands were covered with blood. He would often stare blankly at the blood-stained long sword in a daze at night, but the next day he would go out again with various appearances and see Meet different people and do those shady things.

But at the end of the story, Jiang Bai still beautified his own story.

Although Jiang Bai himself failed, he still thought of a happy ending for himself. In the end, the martial arts leader who killed countless people died, and he finally completed his mission and returned to the court as an idle official.

In fact, whether it is a TV series or a movie, it is always the true stories that can really move people's hearts.

Although they knew that this story was fabricated by Jiang Bai after hearing it, but under Jiang Bai's narration, this story is extremely true.

It was as if Jiang Bai experienced it himself.

"It's amazing, if this story can be filmed, it will definitely look good!"

"Yeah, this is clearly the martial arts version of Infernal Affairs, and it's darker and more real than Infernal Affairs!"

"It's just that the final ending is a little bit off. I always feel that this Jiang Bai..." Jiang Wen looked at Jiang Bai again when he said this, "Don't take it to heart, I'm talking about the protagonist in your story , I always feel that it would be better for him to have a good death. It is impossible for a person like him to be an idle official after returning to the court. He will either be killed because he learned too many secrets from the court, or continue to return to the court to do some shame about..."
