This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Yi Zhengxin agreed readily, and Jiang Bai also liked this kind of confident person.

"Okay, okay, then when is it convenient for you to join the job?"

"I can do it anytime."

"Then we'll go through the formalities directly today? Have you brought your ID card and bank card?"

"I brought it."

"Well, let's go through the procedures later, but before you go through the procedures, I still want to tell you that since you agreed so happily just now, I will give it to you according to this standard.

Although you are applying for the position of director, your current focus is on online short dramas, so I plan to set up a separate studio, but you are the only one in this studio at the moment.

At the same time, you need to build this job yourself. In other words, you have to recruit the people you need here. The only funds you can use are 100 million. If what you create can make money, then I will I will provide you with additional investment, but if I feel it is not working, I will stop your project at any time. "

For the current Jiang Bai, 100 million is only a drop in the bucket. There is no sunk cost in trying the waters in this industry.

After all, Li Yapeng, the most famous person in the industry, really loses whatever he invests in. One loss is tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

Yi Zhengxin's family is actually relatively wealthy, so his parents want him to go on step by step.

It's just that Yi Zhengxin didn't want to follow the arrangements of his family and boldly pursue his dreams, so he made game videos, made spoof videos, and shot some spoof short films when he was in college.

In fact, he also knows that spending 100 million to make a series of short plays is indeed very small.

Because the equipment, machines and personnel, including post-production special effects, are all calculated based on time.

But when he thought that Jiang Bai and Ning Hao were able to shoot "Crazy Stone" with more than 300 million yuan and received more than 3000 million yuan at the box office, he felt that he could do it too.

And this is a great opportunity for him.

Because Jiang Bai is not short of money, if he can do well, it means that he can become the person in charge of this studio.

"No problem, Brother Jiang, I promise to complete the mission!"

"Okay, then go ahead and go through the onboarding process. After that, come find me in my office and I will take you to meet other people in the company."

In this way, Yi Zhengxin went to join the company.

Officially became a director in the company.

Jiang Bai took him to get to know the heads of various departments in the company, and finally brought him to an office.

"This will be your office from now on, and the administrative department will provide you with a computer. After you recruit other people later, you can apply for any equipment you need, and it will be provided for you as long as it is reasonable. "

"Alright Brother Jiang."

"Well, come on, think about the project you want to do next, and then set up your studio."

"it is good."

Jiang Bai left after that.

In the next period of time, he will have to think carefully about the script of "Insidious", including the era in which this script was written.

"Director Jiang, are you busy? If not, let's talk about the script again?"

"Director Jiang, let's go out for a meal together."

"Director Jiang...ah, you have something to do today. Let's forget it. I originally wanted to talk to you about the role of Yu Zecheng again, so I'll think about it myself first."

Jiang Bai had nothing to do anyway. How could two people be passionate about thinking alone?
But just like that, Jiang Bai still tortured Jiang Wei quite hard. He had never seen such a difficult person as Jiang Bai in all the years of filming, but he quite liked Jiang Bai's way of tormenting people.

Finally, a few days before the filming of "Latent" begins, all the actors have been cast, and the filming location has been set in Hengdian, for the same reason.

There are all kinds of scenes there, and Fuhuadao companies are everywhere. You can find whatever you want.

But just before Jiang Bai was about to leave for Hengdian, he went back to the company. Seeing that Jiang Bai was back, Yi Zhengxin went to Jiang Bai directly and said that his team had been found.

"So fast?"

"It's been nearly a month, so it's not too fast."

"What about the wages you pay them?"

"There is no salary, but I told them that if this project can be completed, there will be many opportunities to make big money in the future."

"Then they agreed?"

"Yes, I'm looking for young people who have more dreams. Besides, your reputation is here, so you won't lie to others."

"But in this case, where will they eat and live?"

"My food and accommodation are all covered. I rented a house here. The place is quite big. There will be no problem in housing them. Brother Jiang, why don't you go and meet them first?"

"it is good."

Jiang Bai then followed Yi Zhengxin to their office.

"Brother Jiang, this is the person I recruited this time."

Jiang Bai took a look, good guy, there were seven or eight people crammed into the small office.

"Brother Jiang, let me introduce to you. This is Liu Xunzimo. He is just 20 years old this year. He is now a sophomore student in the Fine Arts Department of Communication University of China. He is currently responsible for the art design of the project and also serves as my assistant to the director."

"Brother Jiang, hello, I am Liu Xunzimo."

"Hello."

Jiang Bai shook hands with the other person and saw that the other person had long hair and a slightly feminine voice, but his smile was pretty good-looking.

"This is Liu Hao, who is also from Communication University, but we usually call him Xiao Ai. The position he applied for is actor."

This little love has rather tough facial features. Although he looks young, his beard looks quite masculine.

"And this is Bai Ke, who goes to the same school as them and is also an actor."

"This is Zhang Benyu, who came in as an editor, but because we are relatively short of people now, everyone can be an actor if necessary."

"This is Kong Lianshun. Currently he is mainly doing special effects."

Then Yi Zhengxin introduced Zhizunyu and Ge Bu. Zhizunyu was also a screenwriter, and Ge Bu was the only girl he found.Looking at this team, Jiang Bai felt anxious in his heart. Among these people, the oldest one was Zhizunyu, but he was about the same as himself. The rest were from [-] to [-].

Now he finally understood why these people were fooled by Yi Zhengxin.

We are all too young for love, it is when dreams burst out.

It doesn't matter whether you are paid or not, as long as you have food and housing.

"Very good, very young. When I first started working, I was about the same age as you, or even a little younger than you. Come on, work hard. Although you don't have a salary now, as long as you can make achievements, , you don’t have to worry about not making money, our company is different from other companies, here we only look at capabilities.”

"Director Yi, I still have a question, that is, they are basically in school now, and they must stay in school most of the time. How do you plan to deal with this?"

"I've already thought about this. I'm going to do the project and preliminary preparations first, and I'll let them come directly to participate in the filming as soon as they have a holiday. It will take more than a month to complete the filming."

"Okay, as long as you have a plan, work hard and try to achieve a career in school, so that when you graduate, you will be the one standing on the stage to share your success stories."

Although Jiang Bai said encouraging words, he was really a little unsure in his heart.

After leaving the office, he found Zhao Zhe: "Brother Zhao, the people Yi Zhengxin found are basically young people in their teens. In fact, I am still a little worried about them. If there is any need for their projects in the future, If you want to help, you should help as much as possible.”

"Well, actually, it's you. I probably wouldn't agree to these young men coming to our place."

"It's okay, let's give it a try first. If it doesn't work, keep an eye on them a little more and train them first. If they can train them, let them perform on their own. In fact, the company still needs these young bloods."

"Okay, you have always had a good vision. Next, you can film your movie and leave the company's affairs to me. However, I still need you to promote "No Man's Land" before it is released."

"That's all good to say."

So Jiang Bai went to the crew of "Latent" a few days later.

On the day he arrived on the set, Jiang Bai finally got the complete script.

Before, he only discussed the characters and background based on the original work and Jiang Wei's ideas.

But after getting the script, Jiang Bai glanced at it and frowned: "Why does this script look so crude, Director Jiang?"

Jiang Wei smiled sheepishly: "Because the original work is so well written, our screenwriters basically follow the original work when creating, so during filming, I plan to follow the original work while improving the script. "

"Good guy." This was Jiang Bai's first time filming this kind of scene. He had heard that this type of shooting was still happening in Xiangjiang.

It's even more outrageous than Jiang Wei. There was no script before filming. The screenwriter moved a table and a chair and sat in the crew to write and direct while filming.

But even so, the movie still has to be filmed. After all, the initial money has been invested and the actors' contracts have been signed.

After a opening ceremony, they started filming.

The story of the script takes place on the eve of the end of the Anti-Japanese War. The three parties, the Kuomintang, the Communist Party and the Japanese, are in opposition and the relationship is complicated.

Many of the names used here are real characters at the time, but this kind of drama basically has character prototypes.

Relevant to that era, the review by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television was very strict. It was not allowed to be too exaggerated or too empty. Every line and every segment that violated regulations would either be deleted or re-filmed.

The first scene is the field service of the military command. Yu Zecheng discovers that his beloved fiancée Zuo Lan has a close relationship with radicals such as Lin Huaifu. The appearance of Zuo Lan and Lin Huaifu makes Yu Zecheng, who is responsible for monitoring and sending signals, hesitate for a moment and let the target go. Although he later came up with an excuse to justify his actions, his boss eventually found out.

During filming, they were completely changing the lines in the script while improvising during filming.

Anyway, just ask Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei said that since you already understand it, you can arrange your lines according to the main line.

This also makes them very busy shooting every day.

We start shooting as soon as the camera is turned on, and as soon as the shooting is completed, we immediately hold a meeting to discuss what lines to say in the next scene and how to perform them...

Fortunately, the actors Jiang Wei hired this time were all senior actors, and they had thoroughly studied the original work before filming started.

"It's so tiring, filming like this every day."

"I swear I will never take a role like this again next time."

Feng Enhe, who plays Wu Jingzhong, sighed.

"No way, we were all deceived by the director." Jiang Bai replied with a smile.

"Oh, who would have thought that Director Jiang, a middle-aged man who seems to be honest, has so many evil thoughts in his heart?"

Jiang Wei touched his nose at the side, smiled and said nothing.

"But I think this model is quite novel. At least until now, I feel that our scenes are very good. Every day we sit together and brainstorm. I rarely see this kind of atmosphere in other crews." Dong Hyun was on the side trying to smooth things over.

"That is to say, when the screenwriter conceives the plot, at most several screenwriters discuss it together, but the screenwriter just writes, and it is inevitable that the writing will not be implemented well, but since everyone is an actor, there is no such problem.

The screenwriter is responsible for the overall control of the plot, and the actors are responsible for the lines and interpretation. This is called performing their duties and making the best use of everything. "

Only then did Jiang Wei open his mouth and follow Dong Xuan's words.

"Director Jiang, let's not talk about this. Anyway, next time you ask me to film a movie, I will definitely have to get the script before I agree." Jiang Bai teased.

But what Jiang Bai said was not a denial, but the uncertainty of filming like this was indeed too great.

"No problem, this time is also a special situation. Who doesn't want to be fully prepared for filming?"

But after all, everyone is still very cooperative.

One day, Dong Hyun secretly came to Jiang Bai during a break in filming. He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Jiang Bai, don't tell me, you look very handsome in a Chinese tunic suit and small glasses. You have a straight face." It’s really a bit serious.”

"Maybe it's because I'm more suitable for playing undercover roles." Jiang Bai said with a smile.

"Yeah, I think people like me wouldn't be able to survive more than three days if they were placed in ancient times, or they would have a miserable life. But if someone like you returned to ancient times, you would probably be able to live a prosperous life."

Jiang Bai listened and thought to himself that I was indeed very successful at that time. I was assigned to be an undercover agent when I was a few years old. I stayed with my adoptive father for decades before being betrayed by my own people.

But no one could have imagined that the old beggar would betray him in the end.

The first parts filmed in "Jiang Hu" are all Jiang Bai's real experiences, and the later appearance of Jiang Bai's illegitimate son as the lord of Yangzhou City was fabricated.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to pee. After I pee, I have to think about the lines for the next scene."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Dong Hyun was used to Jiang Bai's rude words. (End of chapter)
