China Entertainment 2000.

Chapter 13
The crew successfully settled in Zhuozhou Film and Television City, and Jiang Liu found Han Li.

Two requests.

1: Be the makeup artist and stylist for "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger".

2: Make up and style the cast member Wang Baoqiang and another cast member.

"Are you doing private work?" Han Li immediately noticed Jiang Liu's Xiao Jiujiu.

In front of the simple dressing table, Jiang Liu whispered: "That's about it. Use the resources of the crew to shoot a graduation film."

Han Li seemed to be in disbelief: "What a fool, the school can still let students spend their own money to shoot their graduation works?"

Jiang Liu was speechless for a moment, so he had no choice but to say: "Can I help you? Just ask for anything."

"A set of cosmetics worth no less than 2000 yuan."

"Deal, let's get to work." After Jiang Liu agreed without delay, he pressed Wang Baoqiang on the chair.

After arriving at the film and television city, Jiang Liu informed him that Wang Baoqiang had been selected to be the protagonist in his graduation film.

A ruthless character with a very high force value that makes people frightened, and whose role is second only to the protagonist.

Wang Baoqiang was so excited that he solemnly stated that zero pay didn't matter. He also thanked Jiang Liu for allowing him to get over his addiction to starring and show what he had learned over the years.

Jiang Liu praised Wang Baoqiang approvingly.

As for whether Wang Baoqiang will disappear from the entertainment industry due to the notoriety after the release of "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" and lose his subsequent star power?
Jiang Liu can't control that much. His current life principle is to die as a fellow Taoist rather than as a poor Taoist.

"My graduation project is a costume short film. The character played by Wang Baoqiang, Feng Yuxiu, is a martial arts idiot. After the death of his wife, he completely transformed into a fierce and decisive martial arts hero who faces the world."

After Jiang Liu introduced Wang Baoqiang's character, Han Li keenly found a flaw in Jiang Liu's script.

"Which dynasty?" Han Li asked.

Jiang Liu: "Whatever."

Han Li was speechless: "A bun or braids?"

Jiang Liu thought for a moment: "Let's do it in a bun in the front to make it look fresher and brighter. From now on, we can wear it with our hair down and make it darker."

"Where are the clothes?" Han Li asked again.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter. The main thing is how many fight scenes need to be filmed?" Jiang Liu shrugged and said it was not an important film.

"It's up to you." Han Li started working, and Jiang Liu trotted to the school grounds of the film and television city.

On the way, Jiang Liu paid homage to Zhuozhou Film and Television City, which he had not seen for a long time.

These days, Zhuozhou Film and Television City is still one of the top ten film and television cities in China.

Zhuozhou Film and Television City was built in 1990 with an investment of 3 million yuan from CCTV. It built Tang City, Han City, Tongque Terrace, Ming and Qing Palaces, and traditional residences in Wharf Town, Baoding. It also provided studios, food and accommodation for the crew.

However, with the rise of Hengdian Film and Television City and Huairou Film and Television City, Zhuozhou Film and Television City gradually declined and was finally completely abandoned in 2016.

Walking all the way to the school grounds, the crew of "Sedan" was handing out spears to the extras. When they saw Jiang Liu, they all said hello with playful smiles, which perfectly explained what it means to be king in the mountains without tigers.

Jiang Liu gestured to everyone with his middle finger and said seriously: "Brother Yan, how long will the sideshow take?"

"Depending on the situation, you can go as fast as you want, or go as slow as you want. But today I can't go fast, so I have to turn on the camera and shoot a few more times to save the film you need." Yan Yan said understandingly.

"Chong, I'm not in a hurry."

Jiang Liu took out a cigarette and handed it over, then gave the rest to the crew.

Seeing all the extras holding weapons, the staff shouted for everyone to line up and practice walking and trotting.

Soon, Jun gave the order and the filming officially started.

The staff replaced Yan Liang and carried the camera, and the lighting engineer turned on the lights, but the monitor was completely dark, and everyone was working in vain.

He shut down his camera four or five times in a row to shoot, which directly saved Jiang Liu a lot of film. Jiang Liu was overjoyed.

But Jun Yan reminded him seriously:
"Liu'er, "The Sedan" was uncharacteristically used to shoot "The Sedan" on 16mm film because Anhui Province and Taiwan have 16mm film stock, and you thought your short film would need to be converted to 35mm film to be shown on the big screen." Jiang Liu nodded and said: "I understand this. I have taken film classes a lot and know the difference between 16mm and 35mm film."

To put it bluntly, Jiang Liu wouldn't have been able to film "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" if he hadn't known that Dern used film to make the film softer and softer for the TV series.

The filming stopped until the evening, and the military camp drill scenes planned by the crew were all over. When General Sha Pingwei, played by Sha Yi, said "disband", Shi Shiran, a soldier wearing armor and holding a steel gun, walked out of the military camp.

At the same time, Jiang Liu started to follow with a camera.

Along the way, in order to increase the length of the film, he filmed all the very different buildings such as Tangcheng and Tongque Terrace.

There is no way to polish the details, so I can only work rough.

Other directors find it hard to make movies because they have too much material, and it hurts their brains to cut out every carefully thought-out scene.

Jiang Liu made the movie because he was afraid that there would be too little material and the movie wouldn't even last 90 minutes.

After shooting a roll of film, Jiang Liu immediately changed it, and then trotted into a forest with the crew's lighting engineer.

Yan Yan, Sha Yi, Han Li, Wang Baoqiang, and the young man playing the soldier were already waiting.

"Here, I've brought you all the film I saved today and tomorrow." Yan Yan handed over the box containing the film.

"Thank you, I'll explain the show to you two."

Jiang Liu nodded and called over Wang Baoqiang and the rest of the cast: "What we are filming is a fighting scene. Fighting scenes look difficult, but they are easy as long as you remember the routines well. You two are young, so your memory must be good?"

Jiang Liu didn't let anyone refute him. After encouraging him, he took the steel gun and padded it twice and started teaching the moves.

Yan Yan, Sha Yi and others were startled and avoided them one after another.

But after a while, he was surprised. Jiang Liu's spear dance was very lively, but his moves were not messy at all. He looked very much like a practicing martial artist.

actually not.

Jiang Liu did not receive any family inheritance, but he did know how to wield swords and guns, as well as Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Baji and other martial arts.

These skills were learned in his previous life, in order to gain more skills and more success.

After teaching the actors in the group, Jiang Liu taught Wang Baoqiang how to use a short blade, and then let the two practice sparring to get familiar with each other.

About an hour later, the first scene of "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" began.

In the sunset, a soldier walked lazily towards the woods.

At the edge of the woods, he looked warily into the depths of the woods. It was completely silent, with no insects or birds chirping. But in the end, he frowned and walked into the woods.

"You're late, weapons king."

A hoarse voice stopped the soldier from moving forward, and alerted him deep in his heart. No one had called him the Weapon King for some time, and he himself had almost forgotten the nickname given to him by the world.

"who are you?"

"Feng Yuxiu of Chang'an." Wang Baoqiang, whose face was painted in carbon, walked out from behind a big tree.

"You've got the wrong person. The military camp is closed for rest today and I'm in a hurry to go home."

The Weapon King walked toward Feng Yuxiu as if there was no one around. The two of them saw that they were about to get close. Feng Yuxiu kicked out. The Weapon King, who was already on guard, held his spear horizontally to block it, but still stepped back a few steps and realized that they had met. opponent.

"If you want to go home, defeat me." Feng Yuxiu said this and flew up.

The duel between short ninja and spear started in the small forest.

Another hour of teaching, setting, and shooting passed. After Feng Yuxiu used a short blade to break through the armor and slit the weapon king's throat, Jiang Liu shouted "stop" with joy.

Yan Yan, who watched until the end, first praised: "Niu, the fighting is no worse than in the movies."

"The lighting is good, the afterglow of the sun shines on the forest, creating a unique artistic conception." The lighting engineer gave a thumbs up.

Jiang Liu laughed loudly and said, "Don't brag. I said I'd like to treat you to dinner and you won't come back until you're drunk. Let's go back to the cinema and start working now."
