This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Chapter 219 Do you dare to say that your job is better than others?
"Well, it's good to have such an idea. If you have a new project later, remember to talk to us."

After that, Jiang Bai asked about the recent work of other departments, and the people in the post-production department went to work with Xiao Yang after making the racing car.

In the past, because the company was poor, everything was simple, but now that the company is rich, it can naturally buy some of its own shooting equipment.

And if you want to shoot an advertisement for someone, you must bring your own equipment. It would be strange if Party A didn't cancel the order on the spot after seeing nothing.

"By the way, Mr. Jiang, Tian Yusheng from the screenwriting department also wrote a new book recently. I have read the outline. Director Ning, Brother Jiang and I have read it. It feels good. Would you like to read it? ?" At this moment, Zhao Zhe, who is also the head of the screenwriting department, said suddenly.

Hearing that the screenwriting department had a new script, Jiang Bai couldn't help sighing, as expected, the company needs such fresh blood.

Regardless of whether it can be used or not, at least everyone is creating.

"I'll take a look after the meeting."

After understanding and arranging the company's operations, Jiang Bai talked about the bonus.

When everyone heard that the company would reward them with 150 million yuan, they were all very excited. After all, who doesn't come to work to make money?

Even if everyone has a dream, they must work hard to move forward on the road that can be illuminated by the light in their hearts.

But people have to eat, and they must have bread and milk in their hands when they walk forward.

"Because the biggest contributor to this movie is our director, Ning Hao, Director Ning, so the company decided to reward Director Ning 100 million, and other people will also be rewarded accordingly, but everyone can rest assured that the bonus issued this time is at least everyone's salary. more than three times.

In the future, we will adopt this kind of reward system when we make movies. If we lose money, we will definitely not have this bonus, but if we make money, the company and I will use part of it to reward those heroes.

So everyone go ahead and create, as long as it is a good work, we will use it to shoot. We have excellent young directors, excellent young screenwriters, and excellent actors. Here, you don’t have to worry about your talents being buried. Everyone Everyone knows that I came from the bottom, so I know the pain of Mingzhu's secret casting. Here I dare not 100% guarantee that everyone will succeed in the future, but as long as you have good works, the company will praise you!The premise is that the work must be good. "

Jiang Bai announced the bonus on the front foot, and said these words on the back foot, which is also a combination of grace and power.

He has made it very clear that as long as he has the ability, he can succeed here, but what he didn't say is that if the ability is not enough, then naturally the company will not support idlers.

But even so, everyone is still very happy, after all, they are surrounded by excellent people, who would admit that they are rubbish.

In a healthy competition, if you see that others are good, you will try your best to become better.

If you see that others are excellent, instead of working hard, you frame and criticize others, the company cannot keep such people.

After finishing the meeting like this, Jiang Bai came to Zhao Zhe's office again, chatting and looking at the script written by Tian Yusheng.

Zhao Zhe first said: "Jiang Bai, this time our new movie has won 1.2 million box office, and it's full of money. I want to hold a reception later, and thank those who have helped us."

"No problem, Brother Zhao, you can arrange it, but if it is in the near future, I may not be able to go."

"It's okay, I can just ask them to go." Zhao Zhe said, "There is another interesting thing, that is, when we were promoting the movie, the official website of the game you won the championship also promoted for us. I didn’t even ask for money, anyway, I put the banner of the racing car on the top of the official website, and it hung for more than a month, and I didn’t know about it until later.”

"so good?"

"Yeah, it's really good, I didn't expect them to do this."

"Well, then I'll mention their game when I was interviewed later. Let's reciprocate."

"can."

"By the way, do you have your own social platform account?" Zhao Zhe asked again.

"Which platform are you talking about?"

"It's more public, Tianya, blogs and so on."

"Yes, I have registered for a blog, but I don't use it very much. I usually use Tianya and Maopu more."

"Then is it convenient for me to take a look?"

Jiang Bai thought for a while: "Look."

Afterwards, Jiang Bai logged into his account on the computer and let Zhao Zhe look at it. Anyway, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Zhao Zhe was flipping over it, and the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, because he saw that Jiang Bai was always flirting with others on the Internet in the early days, and it was only later that he got better.

"You can't, you are a public figure, how can you say these things on the Internet?"

"It's okay, it's not a real-name system anyway, how could they know it was me?"

"That's not safe. You can cancel these two accounts later, and create a few new ones. They can be used for publicity, and you can also create a blog. You don't have time to write, so let them do it." Come on, in the future when we have a new movie or you go to shoot other people's movies, you can also cooperate with the publicity."

"Okay." Jiang Bai didn't refuse either.

After a while, he finished reading the outline of the script that Tian Yusheng had temporarily listed.

"The theme of Spring Festival travel, it looks like a small budget, and it feels pretty good, but it should be too late to shoot this year, and it will have to be next year anyway, and the script is still not perfect."

Zhao Zhe smiled and said, "You are too resolute. If you say you want to shoot, you will shoot it. Wait for a while, at least wait until the complete script comes out."

"But Tian Yusheng's book is really good."

"That's right, let's put this film in the plan for now, how about watching the rest next year?"

"Okay." Jiang Bai nodded.

And Zhao Zhe has other things to do: "In the next two months, there will be several awards activities, and we will only apply for stones. Do you have time to go there?"

"It probably won't work, but can this movie still be judged for awards? It's been such a long time."

"Yes, anyway, you can apply if you haven't participated in it before, and this is reported at the end of this year, and the racing car has not yet been released at that time."

"Oh, I guess I can't go, you go."

"Can't you go to any of them? We have applied for a total of four, one is the Yenching College Student Film Festival, and the Chinese Film Media Award and the Huabiao Award."

"No, it's very difficult to ask for leave at Zhang Yimou's place, unless I'm going to get the award, otherwise I won't be able to leave."

"Well, that's a pity."

Afterwards, they went out to have a meal together, and chatted about this year's film pattern during the meal.

"As far as the movies that have been released in 2004 so far, our car has surpassed everyone. None of those Spider-Man, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc. can beat it. I feel like we If you persevere, you may be able to win this year's box office champion."

But Jiang Bai shook his head: "Brother Zhao, don't be too happy too early. Flying Daggers won't be able to finish filming this year, but Master Xing's filmed Kung Fu this year, and Feng Xiaogang also filmed A World Without Thieves. Movies are pretty good.

And there may be some dark horses in the middle, I think it is enough for us to be in the top three in the end, and in the long run, people will earn US dollars in the future, and when it is released abroad, it will become dollar units. "

"That's what I said, but we are already very good."

Zhao Zhe looked outside and no one was eavesdropping, and then he continued: "The new police story you filmed before finally grossed more than 4000 million at the box office, and last month Wong Kar-wai's new film 2046 was said to have been prepared for a long time. It's been a long time, but I estimate that the final box office will be around [-] million.

There is also the hero of heaven and earth filmed by Jiang Wen. Although he is not the director, he must have done a lot of work as a director in the crew, but the box office is also a blood loss, in the early 4000 million. "

Hearing this, Jiang Bai sighed: "Oh, the times are different, I feel that comedy films will occupy at least half of the domestic market in the future. Firstly, the cost is low, and secondly, people's pressure is increasing. Going to the movies is just a picture. Relaxed and happy, Brother Zhao, what do you think of the new film Jiang Wen prepared?"

Zhao Zhe thought for a while, and then sighed: "I think the content is very deep. If you call it a literary film, it has a bit of a commercial nature, but if you call it a commercial film, it is enough. It’s not up to the standards of a commercial film, I’ve talked with him, and he knows that this film probably won’t make much money, but he just wants to make it.”

Jiang Bai nodded: "When I was filming Xianjian, I also read the script you sent, and I feel the same as what you said. The money may not be earned back, and the only thing that can be discussed is how much it is lost, but word of mouth should probably be enough. Earn some."

"At that time, we will invest some money ourselves, and we should find outside cooperation for the rest. The investment in Jiang Wen's film is not small. If we pay all the money ourselves, the company will probably be dragged down." Zhao Zhe sighed Said.

"Well, next year we have to make movies ourselves. I still have a lot on my side, but I estimate that the cost of my movie will be about the same. The most that Jiang Wen's company can produce is 1000 million. "Jiang Bai feels that this is the only way to do it.

"Oh, I thought we were good enough now, but it's still not enough to watch a movie." Zhao Zhe sighed and stretched out his hand to the rich tree, but Jiang Bai slapped it off.

"Stop dragging, brother Zhao, how many pots have you replaced the fortune tree in your office in the past few years?"

"Not counted, anyway, there are more than a dozen pots."

"Is it less, only a dozen pots? I don't think it's worth thirty pots or more?"

"Not so much." Zhao Zhe waved his hand, "But do you have any ideas about your film now? We are the only scriptwriters, but the director will have to decide on people, as well as those roles."

"I don't know the director, but as for the roles, I will be the leading role at that time, and there is another role in it that is quite suitable for Baoqiang. I plan to call him over, and Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzhen can also play two roles. They The work is pretty good."

"Well, Baoqiang is indeed good. Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzhen are both your friends. You can also act as two martial arts figures if you call them over. Moreover, if you have a good relationship, you don't need to spend so much money. But do you want to hire some more powerful ones? ? Like Li Lianlian.”

Jiang Bai shook his head: "Brother Jie, forget it, his salary is too high, and there is no way to give him a friendship price. Besides, it is not easy to arrange roles after he comes. My idea is to find a domestic kung fu master. For example, Master Yu Chenghui, Wu Bin, Liang Xiaolong and others."

"Alright, what about the female character?"

"The female characters are easy to handle. Find one who knows how to work hard, and find something unique for the rest. Let me think about it. Among the main female characters, there is my mistress and a friend from the brothel. The main It’s just these two female characters, the rest is not that important.”

"It's okay, don't worry, you've been thinking about it recently, I'll take a look too, try to ask after you've chosen, if you have a schedule, forget it, if you don't have a schedule, then ask someone else."

"it is good."

Early the next morning, Jiang Bai got back to Beijing Film Studio.

As for the new house, Jiang Bai will not be able to live in it until next year, so according to the normal construction period, it will be completed by the end of the year, but after the house is decorated, it has to be aired out before people can live in it.

"The company will probably be able to shoot four films next year, one for me, one for Ning Hao, one for Jiang Wenyi, and Tian Yusheng's one is also good, and the cost is not too high, so we can try to make one.

And when I went to film with Zhang Yimou, I guess it will be February next year after the filming, and the Lotus Lantern will start filming around that time, and the filming will be in the middle of the year. "

"It's getting busier every day."

"But it's okay to make money."

Thinking of this, Jiang Bai still called his sister.

"Hey, is sister busy?"

"I'm not busy now, what's the matter? What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just want to call you." Jiang Bai said with a smile.

"In the future, if you have nothing to do, call your sister more often. If you have any pressure, you can tell other people and tell me. Although you make a lot of money now, the pressure must be great.

But what are your thoughts on Chinese New Year this year?Did I go to your place or did you come to my place? "

"Sister, I may not be able to celebrate the New Year with you this year. I have received another scene. I will join the crew tomorrow. After the filming, it will be next year."

"Ah? Is that so."

Jiang Yue on the phone sounded a little disappointed. After all, she was busy with Jiang Bai now, so every year she would see her during the Chinese New Year.

Usually I can only make phone calls, but Jiang Bai still has to film during the Chinese New Year.

But not long after, Jiang Yue comforted again: "It's okay, it's better to be busy, you don't have to worry about it on my side, and you don't have to send me so much money all the time, I can't spend it all, I will cover food and housing here, I usually buy clothes and the like, and I don’t have many opportunities to wear them.”

"It's okay, sister, why don't you keep it? By the way, do you remember what I told you about the house before? Did you go out and have a look?"

"House, don't you worry about this?"

"There's nothing to worry about. Living in your own house is better than a dormitory, and it's almost the end of the year. Many developers will cut prices for the sake of looking good. Sister, you can go out on the weekends these few days. Take a closer look, the price doesn't matter, but the quality must be guaranteed. You must be optimistic about it before the year, and then pay the money, you know?
Also, sister, take a look at the car too, pick the one you like, it will be convenient for commuting to and from get off work in the future, and you can drive by yourself in case you have to go out for something. "

"It's unnecessary..."

"If there's anything you don't need, be obedient. If I tell you to buy it, you can buy it. Otherwise, I'll keep my money, and I have to worry about whether it will disappear all day long."

"Okay, then I'll go and have a look."

"Sister, don't say so reluctantly, you have to buy it, you know?"

"I know, I know."

After hearing his sister agree to come down, Jiang Bai hangs up the phone in peace.

If you have money, you have to spend it. If you don’t spend it, it can only be a string of numbers.

And if you earn money yourself, who will spend it if you don’t spend it for your family?
After instructing his good sister, Jiang Bai thought for a while that the contract he signed with Zhang Jizhong in Swordsman was about to expire.

After the filming of Flying Daggers is over, the money will be returned.

The previous 100 million was an astronomical figure for Jiang Bai, but it is nothing now.

……

The next day Jiang Bai brought Su Rou directly into the group.

The luggage from the filming of Xianjian has not been unpacked, but this time, it happened to be brought over intact.

After arriving at the set, he arranged for Su Rou to pack the luggage, and Jiang Bai went directly to the set.

The movie they are going to make is called House of Flying Daggers, and it is also Zhang Yimou's second martial arts movie after Heroes.

But this time Zhang Yimou is also full of confidence. Although the word-of-mouth on the hero has rushed to the street, but the box office is a solid result, so Zhang Yimou learned from the painful experience and learned some previous lessons. This time he is determined to lay ambush on all sides It became a classic handed down with fame and fortune.

For this reason, he specially invited Liu Dehua, Zhang Ziyi and Jiang Bai.

Because he found that Jiang Bai's box office appeal is actually very strong. Although it is not as good as superstars like Cheng Long and Li Lian, it has already begun to take shape.

Whether in China or abroad, there are people who buy Jiang Bai's account.

And Jiang Bai has an advantage over those superstars just mentioned that Jiang Bai is young!
Such a good acting skill at such a young age, such a good kung fu, this is the necessary condition for being popular!
After arriving at the set, Zhang Yimou took him to meet other people. At this time, Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi were practicing movements, and Cheng Xiaodong was in charge of guiding them.

"Everyone stop for a while, Jiang Bai is here.!"

After the voice fell, everyone couldn't help looking over,

Jiang Bai and the two are old acquaintances. Zhang Ziyi has worked together in Heroes before, and Liu Dehua is even more familiar. Jiang Bai even acted as a stand-in for each other in "A World Without Thieves" just filmed a few months ago.

"You should all be acquaintances, so you don't need me to introduce you again?"

"No, we are very familiar with sister Ziyi and brother Hua."

"Okay, let me tell you again, because you came in late, so you didn't catch up with our meeting at that time. Our time in the first half month was mainly to practice movements and familiarize ourselves with lines. position route, so you will be familiar with the position of the camera at that time.

Another point is that our filming here is closed. You are not allowed to go out during the filming period. You can make any normal phone calls, but you must not disclose any information about this film, including your assistant.

Usually, if you need to buy something outside, you can tell the staff and ask them to buy it. The money will be reimbursed by the crew. Of course, you can’t buy too outrageous things, just the ones you usually use. "

"I know the director, it's no problem."

"Okay, then you can chat with them here first, and come to me when you are done with your work. I have something else to tell you."

After Zhang Yimou finished speaking, he went back to the small shed.

And Jiang Bai is here to reminisce with everyone. In addition to chatting with Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi, he also chatted with Cheng Xiaodong a lot. Since the last time he cooperated in Heroes, Jiang Bai has filmed four more works.

New Police Story, Heroes of Heaven and Earth, Crazy Racing and Legend of Sword and Fairy.

Three of them are action-related movies.

So they chatted a lot about actions. During the process, Cheng Xiaodong also excitedly told Jiang Bai that after he knew that Jiang Bai was going to play Jiang Baotou, he specially designed a lot of gorgeous fighting actions for Jiang Bai. .

"Now only you can do these movements. Even if they can do it, they are very reluctant. They are not as beautiful as you."

"Uncle Cheng, then you mean that their jobs are not good enough." Jiang Bai said jokingly.

Cheng Xiaodong smiled: "I dare to admit this, anyway, I think they are inferior to you, it depends on whether you dare to admit it."

Hearing this, Jiang Bai replied honestly: "Don't dare."

He really didn't dare, although he thought so in his heart, but it's not easy to talk about such things outside.

After all, some people want face.

There is a mixed bag of good and bad people in the entertainment industry, and sometimes people who may not be successful will feel resentful because they are popular, let alone act in a high-profile manner.

Among other things, even Li Lianlian would not say in public that he can fight better than others.

"Look, it's just that you live too hard to admit it."

"Forget it, as long as you and I know about it, what's the point of letting other people know?"

"Hahaha." Cheng Xiaodong couldn't help laughing complacently after seeing Jiang Bai softened.

"Okay, I won't waste your time. Director Zhang wants you to find him, so go quickly."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Bai also came to the small shed.

"Here comes Jiang Bai, sit down and drink some tea."

Zhang Yi put down the script in his hand, and poured Jiang Bai a cup of tea.

"I have told you about the general arrangement before, and now I will tell you about our specific shooting content at the Beijing Film Studio, because this requires your cooperation. Now you are not only an actor, but also a martial arts instructor. In another week, the film will be officially launched. At Beijing Film Studio, we basically shoot interior scenes, and the interior scenes are mainly composed of three parts.

The first part is in the brothel, the second part is in the prison, and the third part is in the yamen.

There are action scenes in the first two parts, but they mainly focus on you and Ziyi. I know that your own movements must be fine, but you must practice well. "

"Director Zhang, I understand."

"Well, we've worked together before, so I trust you. I don't think it's too difficult for you in terms of the kissing scene. If this drama is performed by someone else, maybe I will divide the script into two parts, let the actors first Let's look at the part of the good guy in the front, and let's talk about the back later.

But if it's you, I don't have so many doubts. You can play both good and bad guys, especially bad guys who pretend to be good guys, so now you have a complete script.

Dehua's side is mainly to find the feeling and practice movements, and Ziyi's side also has a lot of dance moves besides martial arts, so after you finish what you have to do, you go to help Cheng teach other people.

His energy alone is limited, if he puts all his heart and soul on Zi Yi or De Hua, then the other person will definitely be emptied.

In addition, you have another task, which is to come up with a piece of pipa music. I told you about this before. You have to ask me to listen to it first. If you can, you can teach those musicians. "

Jiang Bai nodded, Zhang Yi asked Jiang Bai to come up with some tunes.

"No problem, Director Zhang, do you have any musical instruments here?"

"Yes, as long as it is used in the play, I have it here, what? Do you want to play it live?"

"Yes, let's not waste time. Director Zhang, please listen to it first. If you think it's almost interesting, I can modify it. But I think this song is quite OK. If I can pass it with you, I'll be fine." Teach them early."

"also."

After Zhang Yimou finished speaking, he asked the assistant director to come back and bring the pipa back.

About five or six minutes later, Jiang Bai got the pipa.

First, I plucked the string and listened to the sound.

"Director Zhang, your pipa is pretty good."

Jiang Bai knew whether the instrument was good or bad as soon as he touched his ears.

If it is placed outside, this pipa should cost tens of thousands.

But this is still a lot worse than the pipa of the musicians under the foster father, and of course it is even more incomparable with the instruments of the musicians in the palace at that time.

The dog emperor's life is more enjoyable than that of his adoptive father.

After trying out the timbre of the piano, Jiang Bai adjusted the tuning again. After all, if this stringed instrument is played for a long time, the strings will become loose. At this time, the player needs to tune it by himself.

While plucking one by one, Jiang Bai adjusted the timbre of all the strings.

After that, he started playing.

Since this piece of music is to be accompanied by dances, the main style is graceful, and the graceful posture of the actors must be highlighted through the music.

In fact, Jiang Bai did not live up to his expectations. The artistic conception of this song was very beautiful, as if he was in the palace or in some prince's house, listening to the musician playing with the dancer.

"Not bad, that's all. I can't find anything wrong with it. Do you have the score?"

"some."

Ever since he exposed his shortcomings in the hero before, Jiang Bai has learned the staff carefully.

Now this piece of music naturally has a stave that can be used, which is also convenient for musicians to learn.
