This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Jiang Bai has been busy with the movie at home these days, designing and imagining the script at the same time, and how to shoot it.

Filming is not only about the plot, but the setting and costumes can also reflect the connotation that a movie wants to express.

Just like when Zhang Yi was filming heroes, the color tone was very obvious. When they were lying, the scene was black and white, but when they were telling the truth, the main color of the scene was very bright.

"The plot of Jianghu itself is a bit depressing, but there are still some humorous subplots in the middle that can enhance the plot. The color can be highlighted at that time."

“There are also a few of the songs that could use a slight change as well.”

"These weapons and clothes... are all fine. We can find someone to start making them."

"But we still need to choreograph a few more dances."

Jiang Bai felt that he still had a lot of things to be busy with.

Time passes day by day, and each piece of work is constantly being improved.

But just before Jiang Bai was about to leave for Hengdian to film.

Sha Po Lang is about to be released.

Sha Po Lang was not released during the Spring Festival, but was released in May to avoid all blockbusters.

Jiang Bai also went to promote it.

On the day it was released, Jiang Bai posted a promotional advertisement on Weibo for everyone to watch.

Three days later, Jiang Bai also asked Ye Weixin about the results of Sha Po Lang, and was told that the box office of Sha Po Lang in the first three days was HK$710 million.

"Oh, it's a flop. How could it be?? I think this movie is pretty good. It has plot and action, so why is it so bad at the box office?"

Listening to Ye Weixin sighing over there, Jiang Bai kindly comforted him: "Director Ye, don't think too much. In fact, our movie is very good, but it just can't be released in mainland China. The market in Xiangjiang is so big. If you only rely on that to support the box office, you will definitely miss it. This has nothing to do with you. If it can be released in mainland China, why can't it double on this basis on the first day?"

This is indeed the case. Due to the subject matter, Sha Po Lang has not been screened in mainland China, so it can only be released in Hong Kong. In addition, the film and television industry in Hong Kong has been relatively sluggish in recent years, so it was completely expected that it would be a hit.

And there is another reason. After defeating Sammo Hung, he was sitting there drinking, but he was pulled out of the skyscraper by Sammo Hung who suddenly burst out.

The scene of the two dying together was also deleted.

Therefore, the plot becomes simply about good guys defeating evil.

You must know that Jiang Bai still felt that this section was the essence.

If it can be released, it will definitely make the results slightly better.

"Oh, I have to explain it to investors later."

"Director Ye, don't be sad. Although the box office is not ideal, at least the reputation is there. Now everyone's comments about Sha Po Lang on the Internet are also positive, especially those actions, how awesome." Jiang Bai comforted again he.

"It's just that it's a success but not a box office success. I think that for a movie that I, Ye Weixin, have made for so long, I can only get this little box office on the first day. And I feel that if it weren't for you, the box office might be a lot less."

"Director Ye is being polite. That's definitely not the case. Your reputation is great and everyone will definitely buy it. The reason why our performance is not good at present is just because the base is too small. After Xiangjiang is released, we will get it to be released in foreign countries." Maybe it will become popular in foreign countries.”

Ye Weixin still kept sighing, and Jiang Bai couldn't help but want to sigh along with him.

After the two sides sighed for five minutes across the phone, Ye Weixin said he wanted to go out and hung up the phone.

……

Just the day before Jiang Bai was about to go to Hengdian, Mingshou also produced all the content that he never expected, and invited Jiang Bai to come and take a look.

I never expected that it would be a short drama to be put on the Internet, and each episode would be an independent story.

One episode lasts about 5 minutes, and this time they filmed a total of fifteen episodes.

So it only takes a little over an hour to watch them all.

While watching the show, Jiang Bai summoned everyone in the company to come together.

One and a half hours to watch from beginning to end.

Everyone’s laughter basically never stopped.

Because most of the people in the company are creators and receive a lot of new things, it is easy to understand the meaning of some of the memes.

"Awesome, called a beast, I didn't expect that 100 million would actually allow you to photograph it!"

"No, no, it mainly depends on Brother Jiang's leadership and everyone's cooperation. I just did some trivial work." Mingshou said modestly.

But no matter how humble Mingshou is, everyone still thinks highly of this short film.

Even the young actors all had smiles on their faces.

For them at this stage, making money or not is one aspect.

The most important thing is that what you make can be recognized by these professionals.

"However, I feel that the format of this drama may still be a bit ahead of the current film and television industry. I am afraid that after it is broadcast, the results may not be very good."

Listening to everyone's praise, Mingshou still felt a little unsure. He was worried that Jiang Bai's 100 million was in vain, so he said something more to give himself a way out, and also to give everyone a vaccination.

After all, he wanted to make some achievements when he entered this company, and he didn't want Jiang Bai to be disappointed in him after filming this film.

I will no longer support him in doing these things.

"It's okay. What we want is to be ahead of the curve. Good works will not be limited by the times. Taking a step back, even if the current results are not very good, they may be re-edited and popular again in the future. In this way There are many examples.

And don’t worry about the beast. This time you got 100 million to make a film that you never expected. It can be continued later. When the time comes, you can write the script first and then make a proposal. We will be free later. Discuss it. "

"Okay, thank you, Brother Jiang. In fact, I already have an idea for the second season, and I have written part of the script now, but I'd better wait until I finish writing everything before I revise it and show it to you."

"Okay, don't be in a hurry, think about it slowly." Jiang Bai comforted.

Immediately afterwards, Mingshou began to connect with Youku to prepare for broadcast.

And Jiang Bai turned around and came to Li Ronghao's side.

Li Ronghao's first album is also finished and plans to release it in the next few days.

"Brother Jiang, I feel a little unsure."

"It's okay. You are so talented. Don't worry about not being popular. When the time comes, I will recommend it to you on Weibo, and then you can open a Weibo yourself. You can be more active in normal times. In addition, aren't there some music festivals in China? ?Or underground performances and the like. When you have time, you can go to these places to show your face.

Also, I have listened to all the songs in your album, and they are actually very good. When the time comes, you will also comment on the music awards you receive, and try to win a few awards. "Li Ronghao didn't even think so much. He didn't expect that Jiang Bai had already made arrangements for him.

"Brother Jiang, you have done so much for me, I really..."

"Oh, what are you being pretentious about? Mother-in-law, your top priority now is to write songs well, don't think about anything else."

After Jiang Bai said this, he thought of another thing: "By the way, how are you living in my yard now? Is there anything weird about it? If the water pipes, furniture, etc. are old, just tell me and I'll have someone take care of it later. Change it."

"Brother Jiang, it's fine if you don't have them. And even if they are broken, I can just replace them. The little rent you collect every month is as good as nothing."

"Well, these are just small amounts of money anyway. You can do whatever you want. I'm going to Hengdian tomorrow. After your song is released, send me a text message and I'll help you promote it. Also, find some friends. Let me help you spread the word.”

Then Jiang Bai went back to pack his things and prepare to go to Hengdian.

Since he is going to film this time, Su Rou must go with him. Now Jiang Bai's manager is Yang Tianzhen, and Su Rou has become his assistant in life.

Yang Tianzhen received the scene from Jiang Bai, and after making work arrangements, she contacted Su Rou to buy air tickets and prepare passports.

And these two girls get along very well. Su Rou has been with Jiang Bai for so many years and has met many superstars and famous directors. Her whole person's mental outlook is different from her original one, and she is also generous when she is taken out.

And Yang Tianzhen is very smart. In terms of age, Su Rou is several years older than her, so every time Yang Tianzhen sees her, she calls her Sister Rou.

At the same time, Su Rou also paid more attention to this fat and naughty girl. Even if she was better at dealing with people than she was, they would still make an appointment to go shopping and buy clothes together when they had nothing to do.

After arriving in Hengdian, Jiang Bai called everyone together for a meeting and talked about how to shoot the movie, just like he did when he was an actor.

Tasks were assigned to other assistant directors, the chief photography team, the person in charge of art and Fuhua Road.

For example, when preparing actors’ makeup, what should be emphasized, the storage and scheduling of costumes, and how many extras are needed for certain scenes, etc.

Before the movie started shooting, Jiang Bai called the actors who had action scenes to the set again and started teaching them their moves. This time Wang Baoqiang also came, and now he is a member of Jiang Bai's Jiang family class.

Although Jiang Bai was busy before and wanted to go back to Yanjing Sports University to attend classes when he had time, so he never had time to expand his Jiang family class, he still decided to wait until he returned from filming this scene. We must recruit some people from those graduates of the Sports University and Shichahai Sports School.

At that time, even if he is not free, he can ask Wang Baoqiang to take them out to pick up work.

"Baoqiang, after you have mastered the movements of these people, you can teach them. Wu Jing and Brother Zhuo, I can teach them alone later, because they learn quickly."

Wang Baoqiang nodded, showing his iconic two rows of big white teeth: "Okay, Brother Jiang, I promise to complete the mission."

Then Jiang Bai taught Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzao their movements.

When these two made movies before, the action directors designed the movements and then asked them to practice. During the practice, they would also modify these movements to a certain extent based on the moves they were good at.

But with Jiang Bai designing for them, the movements are different. Jiang Bai knows the essence of every sect's moves and can pull off any of them.

Therefore, Zhao Wenzhuo and Wu Jing only need to practice step by step according to what Jiang Bai taught, and there is no need to make any changes at all.

Because their own changes may not be more exciting than Jiang Bai's design.

For these martial arts practitioners, being powerful means being powerful, and they admire whoever is powerful.

"Then you practice first, and if you have any questions later, just ask me."

"Okay Jiang Bai, you can go and do your work, we two brothers will practice here by ourselves."

Jiang Bai nodded, turned around and called Liu Sisi and Wang Ou over.

In this one, the two of them are the main actresses.

However, Liu Sisi studied dance before, so her physical condition was in good condition, but Wang Ou was a bit disappointed. Her major had nothing to do with movements.

Previously, because of her outstanding appearance and good figure, her sister secretly signed her up to participate in the modeling competition. Unexpectedly, she won the championship in the end.

"Xiao Ou, you don't have any foundation, so you should practice basic skills and stretch your body's flexibility in the past few days, but be careful not to get injured."

"Okay, Brother Jiang, but I don't know these things yet..."

"It's okay, I'll teach you later."

"You watch it now, and I'll give it a try first."

Turning around, Liu Sisi was standing in front of him.

"Sisi, it's been more than a year since the last time we worked together, but before you practiced dancing, this time there are a lot of moves besides dancing."

"Brother Jiang, I will study hard! But if I do anything wrong while studying, you must tell me."

"Then I will definitely say it."

Then Jiang Bai began to teach Liu Sisi one move after another. There were some differences between learning dance and martial arts. For example, although dancers also required a sense of strength, compared to martial arts, the sense of strength was still insufficient.

This will result in a soft beat.

After an afternoon, Jiang Bai taught the other party two sets of moves.

"You should have memorized all the moves. In the past few days, focus on practicing the sense of strength. You can find the feeling first. Once you have the sense of strength, try it together with the coercion."

"Okay, Jiang Ge."

Liu Sisi nodded, then rubbed her shoulders and legs and left, because during practice Jiang Bai held a stick in his hand and hit wherever it was not in place. Although he did not use force, after all, the skin and tender flesh were fine. It will feel painful.

But she never complained, after all, it was indeed her fault.

After Liu Sisi left, Wang Ou came over again: "Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, it's my turn."

"What should you do?"

"It's time for me to practice my basic skills. I've been sitting there watching for a whole day. I have learned some of Sisi's moves, but my basic skills are so bad that it doesn't look good at all when I practice."

"It's almost evening now. Do you want me to work overtime?"

"Why don't we work overtime for a while? I want to make use of my time at night. If the studio needs to turn off the lights and leave, we can still go back to the hotel."

"Hotel?" Jiang Bai glanced at the other party playfully, "Are you sure you want to learn basic skills seriously?"

"Of course."

"Then how do you want to learn?"

"I must learn how you taught me." (End of Chapter)
