This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Jiang Bai also has a good voice. Although his singing style is completely different from that of Chen Yixun, he can also sing the high notes.

After all, singing opera is much more difficult than singing pop music.

After Jiang Bai finished singing, Chen Yixun stayed here chatting for a long time before leaving the stage.

However, Jiang Bai did not leave after stepping off the stage, but went to the lounge at the back.

Hong Kong Coliseum is also called Xiangjiang Stadium.

Because as early as more than 100 years ago, the Xiangjiang government reclaimed the sea in this area, and the project was carried out for several decades. But one day when a construction worker was digging a well, he discovered that the well water coming out of it was actually The well water was red, and then the well water was taken for testing. Although the official test results showed that the reason why the well water turned red was due to the presence of iron sulfide and mercury compounds, Feng Shui experts said that the reason why the well water flowed red was because of the damage caused by earth-moving here. Xiangjiang's dragon veins, so what flows out is not well water but dragon blood.

But no matter what the reason was, because of the red well water, the district was renamed Hung Hom.

In the 60s, the construction of the Xiangjiang Stadium began here. It took many years to design the stadium. In the last [-], construction started here. However, due to project expense issues, the project was officially launched four years later, and another four years passed. , the stadium was just completed.

It's just that this gym has been in use for more than 20 years, so it looks a little old now.

But this does not affect the viewing experience.

After the concert was over, Chen Yixun came back to put on makeup, and the band's musicians, dancers, and backing vocalists all came here together.

While chatting, I changed my clothes and took off my makeup.

Finally, Chen Yixun took Jiang Bai out for a meal and chatted.

Every time I have dinner with a singer, the issue of future cooperation will always come up while chatting. However, Chen Yixun is also very powerful in the industry, so Jiang Bai did not refuse. If he really collaborates with the other party on some songs in the future, it will still be not bad.

Or maybe in the future, when you are filming a movie, you can ask the other party to come over and play a small cameo role, which can also be used as an easter egg.

For people like Chen Yixun, it is also fun to occasionally make movies and play an interesting small role in them. Just like when he was filming "New Police Story" and heard that he could hit Wu Bai with a truck, he did not hesitate. Just went.

"If you can give me a chance to have sex with Zhou Jielun in the future, I can do it for free."

"Well, I can agree to it, but I don't know if Jie Lun is willing."

"It doesn't matter. Let's go to him to film the movie first. Anyway, if you just play a less important role, it won't cost much. I can help you with his salary, as long as you have a chance to hit him." one time."

"No problem. I'll try to invite him next time I'm filming and see if I can."

"By the way, if I have a chance to bump into Nicholas Tse, Zhou Bohao or Yang Qianhua, I can do it without any pay."

Jiang Bai couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "Brother, how much do you like to bump into people?"

Chen Yixun grinned: "There's no other meaning, it's just for fun. Singing all day long is boring anyway. I sing the same songs over and over again. In fact, I like to have fun."

"That's no problem. I will try my best to create more opportunities like this for you in the future."

"That's great. If there's such an opportunity, I'll be there."

After working overtime in the evening, he returned to the hotel. This hotel was booked by Yi Xun for him. After all, Jiang Bai was the guest he invited to sing, so all food, clothing, accommodation and transportation had to be arranged.

So he stayed in the hotel for another night. Chen Yixun bought him a plane ticket the next day, and Jiang Bai took the opportunity to return to Yanjing. Counting the time, all the casting work here had been completed.

Moreover, Chen Kexin, who is responsible for the construction of this drama, started working on it long before the casting was ready, and it is basically completed now. In addition, other crew members have also been recruited.

"The movie will start filming over there in Mentougou in three days."

Zhao Zhe said.

Jiang Bai nodded: "Okay, then I will drive there directly."

His salary for this drama was 3000 million.

After Jiang Bai agreed to star in this drama, Zhao Zhe also negotiated the salary on behalf of Jiang Bai. At first, Zhao Zhe planned to ask for 4000 million.

After all, "The Proposal" is a big-budget movie with many grand scenes, and after his inquiries, when Chen Kexin found Li Lianjie at that time, Li Lianjie directly asked for 1.2 million.

After hearing this, Chen Kexin almost blacked out and fainted. When Li Lianlian saw this, he quickly said that we are all old friends and only wanted a friendship price of 1 million.

Chen Kexin calculated on her fingers for a long time before agreeing.

After all, Li Lianjie is now a Hollywood movie star and has made quite a name for himself abroad, so the price is considered normal. Although Jiang Bai is less well-known internationally than Li Lianjie, he is currently trying to catch up.

Especially when "Jiang Hu" was released abroad, the box office exploded. In addition, he is now gradually starting to take on Hollywood roles. The previous "Fast and Furious" and later "Kung Fu Panda" can already represent Jiang Bai's entry into Hollywood.

But when Chen Kexin heard that Jiang Bai was asking for 4000 million, her eyesight also darkened. However, upon seeing this, Zhao Zhe finally lowered the price and asked for 3000 million.

"You don't know, he held the calculator and pressed it for a while, and then he agreed, but he also had a condition, that is, after we get the money, we will give him 10% of the score."

Jiang Bai didn't have any objections to this: "It's okay, just divide it up. You have to take a commission from the broker's introduction work. Chen Kexin didn't come up with this money himself. Anyway, there are investors behind it."

"Okay, so is there any company here that needs help preparing for you? Do you need to get a nanny car for you so that you can take a break during the trip?"

"No, why not get a nanny car? That thing is quite expensive."

"You still lack the money now?"

"Brother Zhao, good steel is spent on the blade. If I have the money, I might as well buy an antique ornament to put at home. At least I can keep it as long as I want."

"alright."

Then Jiang Bai went home to prepare.

Now when he takes on action movies, he usually works part-time as an action director.

They mentioned this matter at that time, but Chen Kexin originally planned to hire Cheng Xiaodong, but Cheng Xiaodong's asking price was also very high. Although it was not as high as the price of Li Liujiang and Li Liujiang, it was also the price of another starring Xu More than three times that of Jinglei.

Xu Jinglei was quite willing to star when she was found by Chen Kexin. After all, she could play with Li Lianlian, Liu Dehua, Jiang Bai and others, and she had emotional scenes with Li Lianlian and Liu Dehua. In addition, she was not short of money. So it only cost 200 million.

After Chen Kexin returned, she did some calculations. Actors alone would have spent nearly 1.5 million yuan. If Cheng Xiaodong was hired again, the cost would be another 700 million yuan.

If Jiang Bai is invited to be a martial arts instructor, only 200 million is enough.

In addition, Jiang Bai also promised to design all the actions to perfection, including the personnel arrangements on the battlefield.Although Cheng Xiaodong can also shoot such big scenes, after all, he is not as cheap as Jiang Bai.

So later he called Jiang Bai again. After Jiang Bai told him a lot about ancient battlefields, Chen Kexin made a direct decision and settled on Jiang Bai.

During the week of waiting, Jiang Bai went back and perfected his movements.

Seven days later, he drove to the filming location of "The Name of the People" on time.

This is a small village in the west of Yanjing.

The name of the village is a bit difficult to write, it is called Cuan (sound cuan).

Here they want to film the part of the cottage and the sworn relationship.

Due to the participation of big names, the opening ceremony was held very well, and nearby villagers came to watch.

But fortunately, everyone just watched from a distance and did not come to disturb.

After turning on the camera, they started filming. The protagonist of this film is Li Lianjie, so he has a lot of roles. Compared with previous movies, Li Lianjie's literary work also accounts for a large proportion in this film.

In the past, most of Li Lianlian's movies were based on how handsome he was, but here he plays the role of an army leader who was tricked by Kuiziying.

After putting on makeup, his entire face became very rough and awkward.

In the play, Liu Dehua and Jiang Bai will play the leaders of the village, and the young adults in the village will be their subordinates.

However, after taking the makeup photos, some problems arose when Chen Kexin started filming the movie.

Originally, he planned to shoot the scene for only seven days, but it ended up taking more than 20 days.

This made Chen Kexin a little distressed. It was so bad at the beginning, but how could it still be as good as it is now?

Chen Kexin once felt a little depressed and doubtful about himself. After filming this scene, he even secretly asked the investor to resign behind the back of the starring actors, saying that he didn't want the previous money and asked the other party to find someone else to film.

But the investor spent a lot of money and suddenly changed the director at this time, not to mention whether the other person can film the story well after he comes. If another person comes, he will wave his hand to indicate that all the previous things cannot be used. Including some previously built scenes also need to be re-modified.

Then they will lose at least several million in one fell swoop.

So in the end, after all the hard work, we invited leading actors such as Li Lianjie and Andy Lau to lobby together, and then we persuaded Chen Kexin to stay.

Fortunately, after filming the first part, Chen Kexin also gave great rights to the on-site shooting staff with enough creative space, so the subsequent plot went much smoother.

After the village scenes were filmed, there were palace scenes and battles.

They chose Zhuozhou Film and Television City as the filming location for this part.

After all, Zhuozhou is not far away, just in Baoding, Hebei, and there are plenty of places for fighting.

For these scenes, Chen Kexin hired thousands of actors who could ride horses.

At the same time, Chen Kexin requires that the scenes be realistic. It is best not to use a single wire during the fight, and not to design any fancy moves. Everything must be real.

From the perspective of other action directors, this kind of requirement may mean that a layman guides an expert. After all, according to Chen Kexin's intention, many processes and details must be subverted.

But the action director of this drama is Jiang Bai. Jiang Bai knows best what it means to do things with real swords and guns. Since you said you don’t need wires, then I will do it as if you don’t use wires. Since you don’t want fancy moves, then I will. All of them will be replaced for actual combat use.

Anyway, those who have action scenes are mature martial arts actors.

So from the very beginning, Chen Kexin only changed a few parts of the action designs that Jiang Bai gave to Chen Kexin.

But as an action director, he not only needs to design the actors' martial arts movements, but also needs Jiang Bai to design the scenes on the battlefield, including the so-called formation of the soldiers during the battle. To what extent does it become another formation against the enemy? Law.

And how to shoot these scenes, whether to use several long-lens shots set up in the distance, or to use drones to shoot in the sky, also needs Jiang Bai to do.

But on this point, the two of them had differences. Jiang Bai's idea was that since he wanted to shoot a big scene, he must use a long shot, combining a distant telephoto lens with a drone to capture both movement and stillness. , and then shoot some battle scenes between the soldiers and the protagonists.

But Chen Kexin wanted to shoot some more detailed things, such as the soldier's bleeding face and the ferocious expression with red eyes.

In the end, they discussed it for a long time and decided to divide it into two sides.

Chen Kexin is responsible for these more specific close-ups, while Jiang Bai is responsible for the big scenes.

Although the two of them had divided the work, the film's chief cinematographer Huang Yuetai suffered from old problems.

Originally, Chen Kexin had trouble filming. She had to shoot this detail and that detail. Now there is another Jiang Bai, and he has to take care of both ends.

In addition, this film is the film in which he has used the most actors in his 30 years of acting.

According to the design of Chen Kexin and Jiang Bai, a total of three tracks were used to shoot big scenes. Eight cameras were arranged on each track, and three tracks were shot at the same time, that is, 24 camera positions.

Even when filming a drama, three or four camera positions must be arranged at the same time to ensure that every detail on the actor's face is recorded.

Yes, this is Chen Kexin's requirement, and he not only has high requirements for the camera, but also for the actors. When he says every line, his body movements and facial expressions are very sharp.

For example, when the three protagonists were preparing to join the imperial court, the three adults were sitting on the seats and the three of them were kneeling behind.

The intrigues between two or three adults in the court are reflected through their expressions.

The audience may not notice it, but he must make these shots appear on the screen.

But fortunately, the actors who play these three adults are also experienced actors. As long as the director makes a request, they must do it.

I went back at night and studied the script desperately to understand the meaning behind every line.

Jiang Gong, Di Gong and Chen Gong were in separate camps. Except for Jiang Gong, the other two wanted to win over the three of them.

And none of the lines between these big shots is simple. After their painstaking research, every line and every look in the three people's eyes is full of drama.

The three of them have common interests but also want to grow secretly. (End of chapter)
