Chapter 255
But if you want to get someone else’s words, you must first be able to say something useful. For the two of them, what this movie can reveal to them is the subject matter, genre and actors.

Because these two things can't be hidden at all.

Others can't casually enter the crew, but if big shots like Chen Kaige and Cheng Long want to visit the crew, they still have to let them in.

After all, everyone is an insider.

And there will be crew visits in the follow-up, and some news needs to be released in advance, such as the starring role and part of the plot.

Some movies need complete secrecy to keep the audience feeling novel, but some movies need to reveal some wind in advance to arouse the interest of the audience.

But these things can be said, and it is inconvenient for them to mention how much money they invested. As long as Chen Kai asked Jiang Wen, he would say that he spent a lot of money and emptied his family.

This is a very broad answer.

Those who listen can understand that they have indeed emptied their homes, but they can also understand that this is an exaggerated rhetorical technique.

Because their company has just been established for a few years, apart from Jiang Bai, who is the leader, Dong Xuan, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo who have just become popular in the company in recent years.

It's just that although they have a fire, it's not at the same level as Jiang Bai's fire.

Before that, I made two low-budget movies, Crazy Stone and Crazy Racing, and even if I could make money, it would be tens of millions at most.

Coupled with the usual spending, there is not much left in the end.

In fact, directors like Chen Kaige usually don't pay too much money when making movies, because they have to consider the risk of losing money, so they usually find several film and television companies to invest in, in order to share the risk.

And another advantage of this is that if the film can really make money, it will be much more convenient to ask those companies for money to make a film in the future.

Including if we can reach long-term cooperation with those big film and television companies, it will be much more convenient for subsequent announcements.

So after such a meal, Da Jiang and Xiao Jiang also understood the content of the other two movies.

Although Chen Kaige said that his film Wuji invested [-] million yuan, and also gathered actors from China, Japan and South Korea to shoot, but after they came out of the wine bureau, the two of them thought about it, and estimated that this film only invested tens of millions. .

The [-] million mentioned by Chen Kaige is probably equivalent to the title of war in ancient times.

Every time there is a war, both sides will claim to have dispatched an army of 20 to [-], but how can there be so many in reality?
They are very clear about the tricks in the circle. It's not how much money is advertised to the outside world, it's how much money is spent for real money.

This is not only the case for film investment, but also the remuneration for actors.

It's just that most people do it without knowing it.

Brother Cheng Long is currently shooting Mythology, which is also co-produced by China and South Korea. The director is Tang Jili from Xiangjiang, the heroine is Kim Hee-sun from Bangzi Kingdom, and the actor Liang Jiahui plays a supporting role.

Just judging from the lineup, it is much more luxurious than Jianghu.

Although Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzhen also starred in Jianghu, they can only be regarded as actors of the new generation and transitioning towards the Mesozoic generation.

But the transition between the two of them was not so smooth.

Jet Li, who followed the same path as the two of them, has already entered Hollywood at this age, even Zhen Zidan is better than the two of them.

One of the two can only rely on the past scenery to take on a film a year, and the other gave up the opportunity to become popular in the mainland and went to Xiangjiang to develop, but the development was not satisfactory.

That is to say, a Jiang Bai can hold up the scene.

"This wave of us can be regarded as showing weakness to the enemy. Looking back, they probably won't think that we can pose any threat to them. After all, our company used to make low-budget black comedy films, but this time it suddenly switched to martial arts films. , Acclimatization is certain.

Even Zhang Yimou was not acclimatized after switching to costume films. "Jiang Wen analyzed.

"That's right, the more they relax their vigilance against us, the more favorable we will be in terms of publicity. The only thing we suffer is the theater chain. If the pressure of competition is too great, the theater chain will give us a lot less film schedule."

Jiang Wen thought for a while: "I think it's actually pretty good in this regard. There are only a few relatively large theaters in China. I dare not say anything else, but there must be no problem with Huayi.

If Feng Xiaogang's A World Without Thieves is also put on the Spring Festival, then we probably won't get any advantage.
But as far as I know, among the films that will be released at the end of this year, there is only one such as The Great Sage of Love, how good can it be, right?They must also know what we can know, so I went to the two Mr. Wang to talk about it. It is definitely no problem to arrange more films, but it may be to make a few more profits. "

"That's okay. It's all necessary investment. Making a movie is a commercial activity. There is no profit. Who is willing to give you more benefits?"

"That's right. I'm afraid you won't be able to think about it, but since you can think so, I'm relieved. We can also talk about the other companies in this direction. Anyway, if we can arrange more films, we can arrange more."

"Well, but let's talk about this matter later, let's finish the movie first, and then go to Lao Zhao to discuss the follow-up plan."

In the subsequent filming, Jiang Bai first handed over the actions of other people, and then asked Jiang Wen to finish filming his own scene quickly.

Seeing that the day of racing is getting closer, Jiang Bai has to go to the training camp first.

It is definitely necessary to participate in training camps, and the longer the time, the better.

Because every time before the race, the drivers have to make various preparations in advance. In addition to the physical exercise before the race, there are also mental exercises and running-in with the navigator.

Especially in rallies, the navigator is the eye and the hand of the driver.

And Jiang Wen also knew that Jiang Bai still had things to do next, and the movie Jiang Bai was going to make next could be used to promote their movie.

It's like when Jiang Bai took the time to win a computer game champion when he was filming Legend of Sword and Fairy.

When the final Legend of Sword and Fairy is released, many people who have learned about this TV series through the game will also watch it.

Movies will be more intuitive, and audiences will choose movies because of very subjective personal likes and dislikes.

If there is one or several actors in a movie they don't like, even if the movie is good, they probably won't watch it.

This is why many celebrities and artists must ensure continuous exposure, because only when they appear in the public eye all the time, will the audience not forget them.

Every time before a new work is released, the leading actors will always have some big revelations, but most of these are beneficial to themselves.

This is why whenever there is a movie preview on TV or the Internet, there will be an accident with a popular star who does not belong to the movie.

Then some people will start to compare the star who had the accident with the lead actor of the upcoming show, and they will see each other with each other.

……

"You'an, I know you are from the imperial court, but I don't care. People live in this world only for fame and fortune. I know you are not the kind of person who is willing to be someone else's pawn, so I want to cooperate with you."

"Mr. Sun, I didn't expect you to hide it so deeply. How do you plan to cooperate?"

"I can help you get rid of Zhang Qingyi together."

"Oh? Then what?"

"If you want to go back to the court, then I will do my best to assist you to climb up in the court. If you want to leave here, you can take half of the wealth of Tianyi Palace with you."

"Mr. Sun, do you want to be a martial arts leader who acts like a dog for the imperial court?"

"Hahaha, being a dog is a good word, but who in this world is not a dog? It just depends on who you want to be.

You and I are both dogs now, but I am the dog of that Zhang Qingyi, and you are both Zhang Qingyi’s dog and the court’s dog. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all dogs, and they are the emperor’s lackeys, but what about the emperor?Everyone in the world calls the emperor the Nine-Five Supreme, but isn't he a dog?Even though the emperor has the most power in the world, he still has to be restrained by his officials, and various rules and etiquette also restrain him.

So everyone is a dog, and it's no big deal for me to be a dog for the court. "

"Mr. Sun can take it easy. People in this world are fighting all the time. Some people are fighting with others, some are fighting with their lives, and some are fighting with themselves. People with big fists always want to prove that they are better than others." Others have bigger fists, so it is understandable for Mr. Sun to think so, but what countermeasures do you have now to kill my adoptive father and replace him?"

"Of course there is a way, You An, come here with your ears..."

Then in Jiang Youan's ear, Mr. Sun told his plan.

……

On the third day after filming this scene.

Mr. Sun is dead.

As the chief strategist of Tianyi Palace, he died at the hands of the court.

……

Seeing that the rivers and lakes have been filmed to the end.

The heroine played by Tong Liya has also been completed, because she did something she shouldn't do in the plot.

And Jiang Bai also started filming the last segment.

In the final part, both literary and martial arts will usher in a climax.

Jiang You'an wanted to fight the people from Jinyiwei, the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the gangsters from Tianyi Palace.

So whenever Jiang Bai and those actors have no scenes, they will practice crazily on them.

It's just that Jin Shijie is too old to do so many martial arts moves, so he let him stand in for him.

During this period of time, all the play actors were miserable.

Jiang Bai was like a machine that would never be exhausted. Even if they were in a wheel battle, Jiang Bai could still use great strength to match them.

And Jiang Bai has three requirements for the actors in the play.

The first is that you must be proficient in all the moves, and the second is that you must do your best when fighting him, so you don't have to worry about him being injured, all the moves are aimed at Jiang Bai's vital parts.

And the third requirement is also the most incomprehensible to everyone.

"When the time comes, you will all use real weapons when you fight with me. It's too boring to use ordinary weapons. I can't find that feeling. I will use real weapons at that time, but don't worry, I definitely won't It hurts you."

"This is simply a lunatic. I have been a stand-in for so many years, and I have never seen anyone make such a request!"

"Yeah, how can you use a real guy for filming? If you have a bump with a prop, you have to go to the hospital if it is a little serious. If you use a real guy, you will lose arms and legs in an accident."

In the end, Zhao Zhe and Jiang Wen couldn't stand it any longer, and found Jiang Bai to argue for a long time before they agreed that they could use real ones, but not swords.

These people who walked closest to Jiang Bai did not expect Jiang Bai to be so crazy.

If it weren't for their good talk, Jiang Bai would be a real guy who really wanted to use it.

But even so, Jiang Wen and Zhao Zhe made up their minds in private, even if Jiang Bai is not afraid of danger, but he is just a group performer, who is willing to risk his life to film with you, so they directly took out another 500 million, and carried it every day. to the set.

Said that if anyone is seriously injured, the 500 million is compensation.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Seeing the money, the swarm performers and martial artists were also moved.

They have seen Jiang Bai's kung fu. According to the normal situation, Jiang Bai will definitely not make mistakes, but they are afraid that something will happen. If something happens, the 500 million is enough for them to spend the rest of their lives.

But everyone has their own thoughts, and the group performers wanted to gamble the 500 million. Although Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzhen also felt that Jiang Bai was too much, they did not express any objection.

Both of them are martial idiots, so they dared to gamble cruelly when they saw Jiang Bai, so they also gritted their teeth and followed.

"Jiang Bai, this is the biggest bet I've ever made in my life!"

"When I was filming before, some scenes were at most dangerous, but this time I took my life."

"Yeah, my life is in your hands, but I won't keep it when the time comes."

Hearing what Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzhen said, Jiang Bai just smiled: "Don't worry, as long as you practice the moves I taught you well, our next scene will definitely be recorded in the annals of history."

"hope so."

So for the next period of time, they practiced movements every day, just to make sure nothing would go wrong.

The last two action scenes were split into two days.

On the first day, the scene of Jiang You'an and the two Jin Yiwei's Wuhan University was filmed.

In this scene, Zhang Tian was seriously injured and Liu Shaoren was slightly injured.

They need to be sprayed with blood when they are injured.

And these blood bags have been placed in various positions on their bodies in advance.

Originally, when shooting this kind of scene, the character was scratched by the sword to switch the scene.

In this shot, the sword is added to the body, and the next shot will show the broken clothes and blood flowing out.

But here with Jiang Bai, on the condition of a meal, he asked Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzhen to agree to finish the filming with one shot, that is, Jiang Bai directly cut their clothes with a real sword and cut the blood bag, and then did not really hurt them. to their skin.
