This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Chapter 227 Wang Yaqing

In this way, Su Rou stayed here at night.

The next day, after Jiang Bai woke up and did a pair of exercises for a while, Su Rou went back to her room to change clothes and make up.

In the morning, Zhang Yi took people to the production crew and asked Zhang Ziyi to come again.

But this time the action is still a bit unsatisfactory.

The main thing is that Zhang Ziyi has not touched dance for several years, so some basic skills have been abandoned, such as some movements such as splitting legs and flying swallows are not very good.

"I can't go on like this, Ziyi, if I give you two more days, can you practice these movements better?"

Zhang Ziyi thought about it for a long time. She has practiced these movements for a long time. If she can achieve a professional level, two days may not be enough.

"The director may not be very good. I'm not saying that I don't practice. The main reason is that some movements are too professional and need to be accumulated over time."

Zhang Yimou nodded: "Otherwise, let's use a stand-in for this part of the dance, but then you will shoot it again, and cut out the parts that show your face, and use a stand-in for the parts that don't show your face."

"I'm fine, sorry Director Zhang, I couldn't do these movements well."

"It's okay, it has nothing to do with you, it's because my requirements are too high."

Jiang Bai was listening on the sidelines.

In the end, Zhang Yimou still planned to use a substitute.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yimou called another girl.

"Xiao Wang, didn't I call you here to find you as a substitute? How are you learning those movements?"

"Director Zhang, I can come here at any time." The girl named Xiao Wang said, "I may be a little bit uninterested in the movements of flying swallows and splitting legs, but everything else is fine."

"You can't do it either? I remember that you won several gold medals in the National Dance Competition before?"

"Director, my coaching direction is different, so..."

Zhang Yimou sighed: "Okay, then the movements on the ground will be done by you."

Now their filming has encountered difficulties again.

The original dance teacher is not here now, otherwise it would be fine to invite the dance teacher directly.

I thought about it for a long time.

Zhang Yimou thought that he had been procrastinating for several days before, if he spent several more days looking for a new dance stand-in, he might not be able to finish filming the scenes here.

Hengdian does not mean that the rent can be renewed after the expiration date, because they have to book the venue in advance, and after one crew finishes filming, the next crew is waiting to come in.

The time that was originally abundant, now seems a bit stretched.

There was really no other way, so he had no choice but to look at Jiang Bai.

"Jiang Bai, what about you? Or have you completed those difficult movements?"

"Me?" Jiang Bai pointed to himself.

Then he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Ziyi: "Director Zhang, is my height and shape okay? Will it be too bad?"

Zhang Yimou sighed: "There is no other way, now you are the only one who can do those actions in our entire crew, and there are many male doubles for actresses, I remember that in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it was just Was Zhang Jin a stand-in for Ziyi?"

"Director Zhang, I don't really have a big problem here. If you let me go, then I'll do it when the time comes. It's just these clothes..."

"The clothes are easy to talk about. There are spares in the crew. When the time comes, just find one and make it bigger. Anyway, there are not many shots."

"Okay." Jiang Bai nodded. He didn't ask for more money this time. Although he said that the choreographer's money has already been paid, there are really not many shots. additional services.

Afterwards, Jiang Bai and this dance stand-in, Xiao Wang, checked their movements again, and chatted for a while during lunch, and learned that the other party was only 20 years old this year.

As early as when she was 13 years old, she participated in a national dance competition and won an award. Later, she also starred in an opera. After that, she was sent to Yanjing Dance Academy to study, and then participated in many programs, or won the first prize. Either get a gold medal.

Due to her outstanding performance, she also appeared on CCTV. That is, in this year, Wang Yabing stayed in the Youth Dance Troupe of Yanjing Dance Academy, working as a dancer and a teacher here.

And the other party's dance performance ability is really outstanding, and many moves are done very beautifully.

When Zhang Ziyi was rehearsing on the set two days ago, Wang Yabing was also watching, and silently wrote down these movements. Although Zhang Yimou hadn't explicitly asked her to do it at that time, she still remembered these movements after she went back. I have practiced.

In the afternoon, the three of them practiced movements here, because Zhang Yimou asked Zhang Ziyi to do the scenes showing his face, Wang Yabing to do other ground movements, and Jiang Bai to do the difficult jumping movements of Heng Feiyan.

In other words, this movement requires three people to do it.

So they have to cooperate better, at least to ensure that the landing point of each action is roughly the same, so that editing can be done later.

Otherwise, Jiang Bai faced the door after landing, but Wang Yabing faced the inside when he took this action. Zhang Yimou would never allow this kind of fake shot.

I practiced until more than four o'clock in the afternoon before resting.

But after resting, Zhang Yi found Jiang Bai again.

Now Jiang Bai gets a headache whenever he sees Zhang Yimou, although it feels good when he is resting, every time Zhang Yimou takes the initiative to find him, it must be a bad thing.

"Jiang Bai, I have another idea."

When Jiang Bai heard it, he thought it was true, this old man had too many thoughts.

"What do you think?" Jiang Bai asked honestly even though he was slandering in his heart.

"Didn't we experiment with how many beans you can throw at the same time and hit the drum accurately? I thought about it later, can you throw the beans on a drum first, and then use the rebound to make it hit again?" hit the other side of the drum?"

Jiang Bai thought for a while: "It should be possible to rebound once, but the distance and angle have to be considered, so the conditions are limited."

"Why? Can't you bounce back a few more times?"

"My dear uncle, this is against the laws of physics. If you want to make it bounce more times, you need to use more strength. To be honest, let me experiment a few more times and I can make it bounce. Three or four times, just put a little skill in it, but the biggest problem is that the head is not strong enough, if I use too much force, it will directly break through the drum head."

"Then how about some more skills?"

"Director Zhang, maybe it's theoretically possible, but that's beyond what I can do, unless I know how to do magic."

"Then do you know magic?"

As soon as Zhang Yimou said this, Jiang Bai was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed angrily: "Director Zhang, Uncle Zhang, if I know immortal arts, why am I still an actor?"

"Okay, but I'd love to do that kind of shot anyway."

"Only with special effects."

"Yeah, if you can't do it, then you can only use special effects, but special effects in this area are not that difficult."

They started filming in the evening. Although three people were involved in this dance, the overall filming process went smoothly.

It's just a pain for Jiang Bai, he has to wear the modified dance clothes and dance the dance five times, because Zhang Yimou needs to shoot more material under different camera positions, so that it is convenient for later selection.

After the dance, Jiang Bai went to change his clothes and put on make-up quickly, turning back into that Jiang catcher.

On the way to make up, Wang Yabing and Zhang Ziyi jumped up again.

Also everyone jumps five times.

Anyway, there is a scene diary for each shot to record which scene and how many times the scene was shot, so there is no need to worry about not being able to find the material in the later stage.

After changing his clothes, Jiang Bai came back to take pictures of Jiang Butou.

According to what was said before, Jiang Bai hit the corresponding drums.

Afterwards, the others left the scene, and Jiang Bai and Zhang Ziyi filmed the rival scene.

There is also a martial arts action between the two.

The reason is that after the little girl played the fairy guide game with Jiang Butou, she actually manipulated her sleeves to kill Jiang Butou.

But she was Jiang Butou's opponent, and soon they hit the pool.

Midfielder Zhang Yimou encouraged the two of them again: "Work harder for the next shot, because we are about to fall into the water, so our shot can only be shot once, try to go through it once, I trust you two."

"No problem director, don't worry."

Fighting scenes are what Jiang Bai is best at. Except for some high-jumping movements that require hanging wire, Jiang Bai relies on the weapons in his hands and his martial arts ability for most of the remaining movements.

Although Zhang Ziyi is not good at this aspect, and she has put all her energy on this dance recently, so she has been a little slack in practicing martial arts, but basically there is no need to worry about this problem when playing with Jiang Bai. Jiang Bai will take the initiative to guide.

It's like finding a student and asking him to recite all of Yueyang Tower in one day. The other party may not succeed, but let him recite it for a day first, and then write out the first word of each sentence, so that it will be easier to recite. too much.

At the end of the photo, Jiang Butou directly pinched the little girl's neck and flew into the pool.

With the huge splash of water, the little girl began to struggle, but Jiang Butou, played by Jiang Bai, was merciless and made the little girl suffer a lot before lifting her out of the water.

"Okay, okay, there's nothing wrong with this part. You've worked hard, go back and have a rest. We're going to finish filming the rest of the fragments from tomorrow during the day. In a few days, the plane ticket to Chongqing is also bought."

Zhang Yimou also arranged for the next work.

After filming in Yanjing, they can take a short rest for two days.

But Zhang Yimou also issued a death order, and they were not allowed to say anything related to the filming of Flying Daggers during the two days of rest.

Even if you are going to participate in other activities, you must not talk about ambush from ten sides.

Even if the reporter asks, he cannot answer.

The purpose is still for confidentiality. Usually when filming, no matter whether it is an actor or a staff member, as long as they enter the set, they cannot carry any other equipment that can record audio and video except for shooting.

Jiang Bai's mouth is strict and he naturally expresses that there is no problem.

And these two days he did have two things to do.

One thing is about Wang Yaqing. Wang Yaqing is now in her senior year and will be graduating soon.

Jiang Bai also contacted her some time ago.

Wang Yaqing's idea is to finish her senior year steadily, then graduate next year and apply for school recruitment to see if she can get into a good unit.

But Jiang Bai felt that it would be a pity not to study after graduating from such a good school, so he suggested that the other party take the postgraduate entrance examination.

Although Wang Yaqing's academic performance in school is not bad, she can receive bursaries and scholarships from the school every year.

But she still considered the tuition and living expenses after the postgraduate entrance examination.

Jiang Bai immediately said that Wang Yaqing didn't need to worry about these things, after all, they had come to this point, and they would pay two years' tuition fees.

And after being admitted to graduate school, if you study well, you can also get scholarships.

Jiang Bai has already inquired about this point outside. The scholarship of a good school firstly gives more money, secondly, it covers a relatively large area, and thirdly, it can also help the tutor to do some projects at the school, and get a few dollars a month. A subsidy of [-] yuan or wages.

And Jiang Bai also learned from Wang Yaqing that one of her teachers also valued Wang Yaqing and wanted Wang Yaqing to be admitted to his graduate school.

So Jiang Bai planned to take Wang Yaqing to have a meal with that teacher and chat with that teacher before the exam in December.

Although the teacher can't guarantee that he will ask for it before the exam, at least it can bring the relationship closer.

You have to rely on your own ability in the first test and re-test, but you can leave a better impression on the teacher, and it will be easier to get better scores in the re-test.

So he first picked up Wang Yaqing by car, and then waited for the teacher at the door.

Several people went to the restaurant to have a meal together.

Wang Yaqing's teacher is also considered a master in the industry. During the meeting, he also expressed his appreciation for Wang Yaqing. He also said that if Wang Yaqing's usual grades are stable during the postgraduate entrance examination, there will probably be no problem at that time.

During the process, Jiang Bai was mainly chatting with the other party. After all, although Wang Yaqing studied well, her interpersonal skills were still a little weak. It would not make much sense to ask Wang Yaqing's parents to come on such an occasion. Jiang Bai might as well take it responsibility.

The teacher also knew about Wang Yaqing's family situation, and also knew that Jiang Bai had been supporting Wang Yaqing for the past four years, so he revealed something extra.

"Actually, as far as I am concerned, Wang Yaqing's family situation is not very good. Without Mr. Jiang's relationship with you, I would most likely advise her to change to a major related to this major that is more employable when she takes the postgraduate entrance examination.

Because in our line of work, in addition to personal ability, it also depends on family background, but if Mr. Jiang can give her some help at that time, I still suggest that she directly take the exam with me. "

Jiang Bai nodded.

He may not have known much before, but now he is also the boss of the company, so he still has a certain understanding of these industries.

Although it is very popular to engage in finance now, people with a background are more likely to succeed than those without a background.

Whether you enter the banking system or enter a state-owned enterprise at that time, it all depends on your background and relationship.

If you can attract investment for the enterprise and deposits for the bank, this is performance.

As long as you have this ability and connection, even if you don’t have to go to work every day, your unit will worship you like a Buddha.

So this also means that there will be fewer detours in the workplace.
