This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Chapter 233 Is this a warning film about long-distance relationships?
"Congratulations Jiang Bai, this time you won the Best Supporting Actor, next time you should win Best Actor."

After everything is settled, Jiang Bai will leave for Ukraine.

After Zhang Yi saw Jiang Bai at the airport, he smiled and congratulated him.

"Director Zhang, I would like to borrow your good words, but that will have to wait a little longer. Right now, all the movies I'm starring in are almost done, and there will only be one TV series next."

"The TV series can also get Shidi."

"Hopefully."

"But what's the name of the TV series you filmed? I remember there was a lot of trouble at that time."

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy."

"Yes, that's it. We don't have many such films in the mainland, and the Tang people are quite capable. Although most of them are young actors, they all have good potential." Zhang Yimou said again.

"Director Zhang, when will you make a movie about fairy tales?"

"Then I guess it's enough. It's not easy to master fairy tales compared to martial arts ones. I've only made a few historical films with martial arts elements. Let's take my time in the future."

They also got on the plane while chatting.

Then there was no big problem with the shooting in Ukraine. Originally, there were only a few scenes to shoot, but the plot was a little more complicated, but the real time-consuming factor was the environment.

At the beginning of the design, Zhang Yimou wanted to grow a sea of ​​flowers by himself. For this reason, he spent thousands of dollars to buy a lot of seeds, and specially invited more than 80 local flower farmers to take care of them. .

But later he found that the growth of these flowers was not good enough, so he had to find another original flower field again.

Unexpectedly, the snow season in Ukraine came early. During the few days of filming, it snowed heavily in Ukraine, and the flower fields were covered by heavy snow.

It can't be melted in ten days and half a month, not to mention that the snow doesn't know when it will stop.

So the problem to be faced later is that the previous scene of chasing and fighting in the sea of ​​flowers has been filmed. If we want to carry out the same scene to the end, we can only reshoot this scene in the snow, or wait until the filming is finished. Snow, after the snow is completely melted, I will shoot again.

But either way is very time consuming.

In foreign countries, it is no different than in China. The filming cycle that was set before must be completed within the cycle, and then leave the country, so they can't wait any longer.

No way, Zhang Yimou had no choice but to change the ending alone, changing from a sea of ​​flowers to a field of snow.

Just added a small transition in the middle.

At the end, the younger sister let Liu Butou go, and after careful consideration, she decided to wander around the world with Liu Butou, and go to the land of flowers and flowers together.

Jiang Butou, who discovered everything, saw his childhood sweetheart run away with a man he had just known for a few days, so he immediately chased after him.

After confirming that the little girl fell in love with that man thoroughly, Jiang Butou killed the little girl with tears in his eyes, and then Liu Butou found out that the little girl was dead, Jiang Butou appeared in grief, and the two started a big fight .

Liu Dehua practiced this movement for more than half a month. He was practicing during filming intervals. When Zhang Yimou was worried about the sudden change of the scene, Liu Dehua was also practicing.

He was looking for Jiang Bai's tricks every day, just to make the final scene more exciting.

But during the fight between the two, the younger sister who should have died stood up again.

This time she was still on Liu Butou's side.

Facing Jiang Butou, who is about to use his unique skill of throwing knives, and Liu Butou, who is waiting to die, between these two male gods, the little girl finally chooses Liu Dehua.

"If you kill him, I will use this flying knife to kill you."

Snow fell like goose feathers. In this icy world, Jiang Butou's heart was colder than the air outside.

It turned out that the clown was Jiang Tutou himself!
The little girl still had her own flying knife stuck in her body. At this time, the little girl would rather pull out the flying knife to let herself die than save Liu Tutou.

At this moment, Liu Butou really understood the little girl's intentions, directly dropped the weapon in his hand, and staggered towards Jiang Butou. At such a close distance, if Jiang Butou was so cruel that he wanted to kill himself, Then the little girl is absolutely unstoppable.

He was already begging to die with all his heart, just so that the little sister could live.

But in the end, Jiang Butou made a movement of throwing the knife, and at the same time, the little girl also pulled out the knife on her body and threw it away.

And the direction she flew was not Jiang Butou, but she wanted to use her own flying knife to intercept Jiang Butou's flying knife.

It's just that he didn't expect that Jiang Butou didn't throw the throwing knife in the end, but feinted like A Bai in the new police story.

His flick just threw out a drop of bright red blood.

The little girl's knife got her wish and knocked down the drop of blood, but she herself also fell on the snow because she began to lose a lot of blood.

The little girl died in Liu Butou's arms. In the snow, Liu Butou hugged the little girl's body in great grief. Jiang Butou, who was also disheartened, turned around, staggered, and stumbled towards the distance. away.

Although the acting skills are extremely compelling, Jiang Bai has never been able to fully bring Jiang Butou's emotions, because the actions designed by Zhang Yimou are completely inconsistent with Jiang Bai's style of behavior.

If Jiang Bai was allowed to act in his true colors, as early as the very beginning, he would not have given the little girl a chance to shine.

How can a stabbing be enough?
At least two or three stabs in the heart, and then wipe the person's neck, so that people can die completely.

And even if he killed someone, he would never leave the flying knife at the scene of the crime.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the little girl really came back to life in the end, and she could find a throwing knife on her body, when the final confrontation came, Jiang Bai would definitely trick the flying knife out of the little girl first, Then kill Liu Butou directly to ensure that the two of them can die completely.

"Please, Catcher Jiang is currently an undercover agent. If he can't complete the mission, Feidaomen will definitely not let someone who can't even complete the mission be spared. And if he stays alive, what if Catcher Liu goes back to expose himself? , the same still can't survive.

Now the ending is beautiful, and everyone's feelings are also reflected, but it's like a child's play, purely art for the sake of art. "

Jiang Butou staggered and fell into the snow after taking two steps, thinking in his heart.

He suddenly thought of a line from Zhou Xingchi's Westward Journey filmed many years ago.

"He looks like a dog."

Now Jiang Bai only feels that he looks like that dog.

No job, no wife, no brother.

Jiang Bai felt that this movie was not like a martial arts movie, but more like a warning to those couples in long-distance relationships.

Long-term companionship is not as good as temporary warmth.

When your girlfriend calls and tells you that her aunt is here, you who are far away in another city can only say drink more hot water, but the seniors or juniors from the same school can stay by your side to ask for their care.

"Okay, it's done!"

When the camera finally freezes on Jiang Bai, who fell into the snow, Zhang Yimou stood up and shouted, and at the same time, everyone started applauding to celebrate the completion of the play.

In order to shoot this last scene, everyone braved heavy snow.

"Director Zhang, don't you need to reshoot the last part?"

Then the assistant director asked.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened!
The staff, including the props and photography, also looked at the assistant director in disbelief, thinking how could such a cold word be said with a body temperature of more than 30 degrees?
Now the weather in Ukraine is more than minus 20 degrees!

Jiang Bai wanted to rush up and cover his mouth!

Director Zhang hasn't said anything yet, what are you looking for here?

You can wear a big padded jacket and big gloves to watch us shoot, but we have to wear costumes to survive the cold!
But fortunately, Zhang Yimou did not intend to shoot the second time, and the performances of several people in the last scene were perfect.

Moreover, it is snowing heavily now, and the dense snowflakes blocked many shots, and the shots were hazy. The actors did not sneeze or tremble during the process, which was enough.

"No need, this is fine now." Zhang Yimou waved his hand after finishing speaking: "Everyone pack up, let's go back to the hotel first!"

"Dehua, Ziyi, and Xiao Jiang, quickly put on your coats. After returning to the hotel, you all have a good rest and take a hot bath."

As soon as the words fell, the personal assistants who had been waiting at the side hurried up with their coats in their arms, and Su Rou patted the snow off Jiang Bai's body with distress.

However, due to too much snow, in addition to the snow on the surface, some snow has seeped into the clothes. If I just put on the coat like this, I am afraid that it will be even more uncomfortable after the snow melts when I get in the car.

So Jiang Bai first took off his costume and threw it to the staff at the side before putting on the overcoat with Su Rou's help.

Back in the car, Jiang Bai felt fine, except that his exposed skin was a little cold, but Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi had already curled up into a ball, swaying uncontrollably.

"Brother Jiang, drink some hot water, warm up first." Su Rou opened the water cup and poured out some hot tea for Jiang Bai.

"Ah."

Jiang Bai took it and took a sip, feeling much more comfortable.

Then this car drove back to the hotel first, and the rest of the director and staff had other cars.

After all, there are only seven seats in the commercial vehicle. One driver, three actors, and three assistants are enough to fill the seats.

After returning to the hotel, Jiang Bai immediately took a hot bath and lay down on the bed beautifully.

Recalling the ending of the previous ambush from ten sides.

"Although Director Zhang's artistic accomplishments are not bad, it is still difficult to break out of this vicious circle. Even if Jiang Butou finally killed the younger sister, he was still too entangled in the relationship between his children and killed his most beloved person. But let them go at the end..."

"Hey, my movies will definitely not be made like this in the future. The world is about fighting and killing, and the way of the world is just a means to become stronger, gain power, and increase wealth."

Jiang Bai sighed: "However, the filming of this film has already been finished. Although many places are a bit sloppy, the final box office should not be much worse. After all, the director of this film is Zhang Yi, and everyone is still very willing to buy it."

After the shooting of Flying Daggers, Zhang Yimou decided to stay here for a few days, let everyone go out for a walk, and then directly chartered a flight back to China.

After returning home, Zhang Yi hosted a wrap-up banquet and invited everyone to a meal.

"There is a long way to go, I hope we will have more cooperation opportunities in the future, and I hope everyone will be smooth and smooth on the road in the future."

After Zhang Yimou finished speaking, everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in their glasses, and then the scene ended.

Early the next morning, after Jiang Bai finished exercising, he thought about what to do today, whether to go to the company or lie down at home for a few days.

But just as he was thinking carefully, the phone rang suddenly.

"Hey, Brother Jiang, I'm right at your door, please open the door for me."

It was Wang Baoqiang's voice.

When he opened the door, he saw Wang Baoqiang standing at the door with his iconic bright smile on his face. There was also a large snakeskin bag in his hand, which was so full that he didn't know what was in it.

"Good morning Jiang Ge, have you had breakfast yet?"

"I didn't eat it."

"That's right, I brought you tofu nao and fried dough sticks, eat them while they're hot."

As he spoke, Wang Baoqiang picked up the bag in the other hand and dangled it in front of Jiang Bai's eyes.

Helped Wang Baoqiang carry another snakeskin bag to the yard and put it against the wall, while Wang Baoqiang went to the kitchen and took the bowls, chopsticks and spoons into the room with ease.

Put the bag of tofu nao on the bowl.

"Brother Jiang, come here, the tofu won't taste good when it cools down, I even ordered some chili for you."

Sitting back at the table, Jiang Bai stirred the tofu nao with a spoon, and asked, "Baoqiang, why are you here? It's so early in the morning, and what's in that bag outside? It's really heavy."

Wang Baoqiang put his hands crossed on the table, showing two rows of big white teeth, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Brother Jiang, I just heard that you are back, so I came to see you. The bag outside is potatoes, our hometown I planted it myself.

I wanted to bring it to you a long time ago, but it was filming before, so I didn’t bother to go back. Later, you were not in Yanjing, so I couldn’t give it to you. I happened to go back during the Chinese New Year, so I brought it to you A bag came over. "

"Well, Baoqiang, thank you, you're being considerate, it must be very inconvenient to bring such a heavy potato?"

"It's okay. I came here this year in the car of a fellow villager. He sells vegetables and often runs back and forth. He just happened to bring me here. I took a taxi here today, which is very convenient."

Jiang Bai couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, although Wang Baoqiang has already rented a house in the urban area, but it would cost tens of dollars to take a taxi.

"Your taxi fare is enough to buy such a bag of potatoes."

"The taxi fare is the taxi fare, and the potatoes are the potatoes. The main reason is to let you, Brother Jiang, taste the potatoes grown by ourselves in our hometown. These are all eaten by ourselves, without spraying, and the green ones are very green."

Jiang Bai nodded. Many vegetables sold in the vegetable market are medicated, but it is definitely safe for rural people to eat by themselves.

While talking about Jiang Bai, he ate the tofu brain specially brought by Wang Baoqiang.

"Bao Qiang, do you have any plans for the future? Did Lao Zhao find any other scenes for you?"

"There are a few supporting roles, but they are all in Yanjing, so there is no need to run around."

"That's okay."

After seeing Jiang Bai finished his breakfast, Wang Baoqiang went to clean up and said, "By the way, Brother Jiang, there is one more thing I want to tell you this time. During the time you were filming in Ukraine, Feng, who we worked with, The movie he directed was released, and it just came out recently.

But when it was taken for approval at that time, because the issue of the finale had not passed the review, it could not be released in the mainland, so Director Feng asked Wang Shuo for help at that time. As a result, Wang Shuo changed five words and finally passed the review. . "

Jiang Bai couldn't help being curious: "Which five words?"
