Chapter 376 Malice from Shandong people +1
“I understand, let’s go back and design a set of actions for you to see...”
To be honest, the set of "New Longmen Inn" Yuan Baye seems a bit old, but Zhang Chen likes it, so he will try his best to cooperate.
Isn’t the martial arts director responsible for realizing the director’s vision of martial arts effects?
"By the way, let me emphasize one point, you must not do slow motion. I am tired of slow motion..."
Hearing Zhang Chen say this, Yuan Baye was stunned. Is this a point about me, or is it about my "The Matrix".
As we all know, "Hacker Passed It Over" uses a series of slow motions. This thing is actually very low in the eyes of Chinese people, but foreigners watch it with relish. It can only be said that they have never seen the world~< br>
Yuan Baye is still stunned At the same time, Zhang Chen continued: "Every time I see slow motion, blowers and white pigeons, I get annoyed. Why do you need to do all this in a good action scene? Is it advanced to shoot dynamic scenes into static images?"
Oh, it turns out you were not talking about me, but Wu Baige.
Yuan Baye's heart immediately relaxed and he was no longer entangled.
Before, he was still thinking that if it didn't work, he would just leave.
The director has a prejudice against martial arts instructors, so how can he do this job?
It’s not like I can’t find anything to do.
Zhang Chen had no idea that what he just said almost forced Yuan Baye away, and he continued to output: "In short, "Painted Skin" must be played smoothly, with the feeling of flowing clouds and flowing water, which makes people watch it. No time to think.
That’s what I thought. , the little bird spirit is a young monster with limited mana, so the battle between the monster catcher and the little bird spirit is mostly based on martial arts, while the battle with Xiao Wei is based on spells, with more special effects. By the way, let you do this Have you strengthened your physical exercise over time? ”
"It's been strengthened, it's been strengthened." Several people around nodded.
Zhang Chen was satisfied.
"Okay, these are my requirements regarding martial arts, and I ask Yuan Baye to do his best."
"No problem, I will design a set of moves tomorrow and let Director Zhang confirm it. Is it what you want? After deciding on the style, we can start the subsequent design..."
"Then it will be hard work, Mr. Ba"
Zhang Chen still trusted Yuan Baye's ability.
Originally, the martial arts director of "The Night Banquet" was Yuan Baye. Xiaogangpao said that my action design for "The Night Banquet" was only one thing, it should be beautiful and like dancing.
Then, Ba Ye actually designed the movements with reference to ballet.
It’s really awesome.
A series of successes in later generations have also proved that Yuan Baye is indeed worthy of being called the number one martial arts commander in Hong Kong.
Zhang Chen was talking about it, and when Yang Xiaomi next to him saw that the topic was finally finished, he was about to ask, how should I act as the little bird spirit?
Zhang Chen suddenly said again: "I've been talking all afternoon and my mouth is dry. It's getting late now. Let's do this. I'll treat you all to dinner and drinks in the evening, and we'll chat while we eat~"
Zhang Chen’s purpose is to break the ice.
For example, Fan Binbin has worked with Zhang Chen on several movies and is very familiar with Zhang Chen's team members.
Zhang Jin also collaborated in a drama.
But it was the first time for the others to work together and they were not familiar with each other. Zhang Chen wanted them to get familiar with each other as soon as possible.
The wine table is undoubtedly the place where these people can get closer together the fastest.
Zhang Chen said hello, and others responded one after another.
"Chen Xi, check with the people around you to see where there are similar restaurants and book a big table~"
Although Chen Xi is already the third in command, Zhang Chen still has something to do. Zhang Chen can rest assured whatever she likes to do.
"Okay." Chen Xi was not pretentious.
"Okay, we will wait for the notification from Butler Chen later. Now everyone can rest first."
Half an hour later, Chen Xi got a sedan and pulled a group of creators Head to the hotel.
Director Wu of Ning Film Factory personally greeted him at the door of the hotel.
“Welcome, welcome~”
When he saw the visitor getting out of the car, Director Wu greeted him warmly.
"Director Wu, why do I bother you so much~"
"Director Zhang said this to be polite. This is our dereliction of duty. You are here, we should have done our best long ago. As a landlord, Chen Xi mentioned it just now, and I just remembered, Wan Wang Haihan~"
Chen Xi is also here Explaining on the side: "When I asked the staff just now, Director Wu happened to overhear me. I asked him to arrange it no matter what. I couldn't resist~"
"You're welcome, this is how it should be. My friend is here. , of course we need to be entertained with good wine and good food, not to mention so many friends~”
Director Wu praised everyone at once, and Zhang Chen stopped refusing.
"Well, Director Wu, I'm not polite. Ningxia was known as 'Shangjiangnan' in ancient times, and we happened to see it today."
The group of people said that and went to the hotel.
There was no need for a waiter. Director Wu led everyone directly to the private room.
This is an oversized private room that can seat twenty people, just enough for them.
"Director Zhang, everyone, let's see what you want to eat?" Director Wu said and handed over the menu.
"It's up to you, guest. It's our first time here and we don't know what's delicious, so it's better for Director Wu to come."
Director Wu didn't refuse when he saw this: "Okay. , do you have any taboos? The main food here is beef and mutton."
Wu saw everyone shaking their heads. The factory director then said: "Okay, I'll make it according to the characteristics~"
As he said that, he named several dishes in succession, and finally said: "You can't have food without wine. I heard that Director Zhang I am a person who loves wine, but we will not drink coal today to save wine, and drink some of our special wine~"
"Okay."
For people who love drinking, it is also a good thing to come to a strange place and taste the local wine.
"Ladies, how about some wine? Ningxia's wine is still very famous, and wolfberry wine is also good, but it just has some side effects~"
As he said that, the men present They all laughed, and Huang Xiaoming said with a smile: "Then I should give it a try~"
After saying that, there was a burst of laughter, and Qin Lan next to him knocked him embarrassedly.
"As for the men, let's drink Lao Yinchuan, which is also a local specialty~"
"Okay."
How to break the ice without drinking?
Not to mention that there should be few of these people who don’t like to drink.
Zhou Gongzi is said to have a good drinker. Chen Xi and Qin Lan are both from the Northeast. Even though they are women, ordinary people may not be able to drink.
Brother Xiao Ming is from Shandong. Even those who sit at the children's table in Shandong can be put down if they go to other places.
Zhang Yi is a soldier. Is there anything that soldiers can’t drink?
Fan Xiaopang has been socializing a lot, and his drinking capacity can only be described as unfathomable.
There are only three or two kittens left. Maybe some of them are drunk, but they can be ignored.
After a few glasses of wine, the conversation became more interesting.
Factory Director Wu held Zhang Chen's hand and kept on saying, "Director Zhang, we at Ning Ying have gone all out this time and bet on the future of all the employees in the factory..."
Zhang Chen could only comfort him. : "Don't worry, big brother, we also invested 30 million Well, we want to make this drama a benchmark~"
Now the people next to me heard it, and someone immediately asked: "Director Zhang, what do you think the box office of our drama can be? ”
The person asking the question was Chen Minghao.
"Drink this glass of wine, I tell you~"
Zhang Chen made a joke casually, but Chen Minghao didn't expect that Chen Minghao would lift his neck and fuck him directly, which immediately attracted a round of applause.
“Okay~”
Zhang Chen was also infected and picked up the cup: “Here, let’s accompany one too~”
After that, he raised his neck and did it.
Seeing that two people were doing it, the others followed suit and did it all.
Director Wu also followed suit, his blood boiling.
Zhang Chen then said: "The investment in "Painted Skin" is nearly 100 million. If the box office does not reach 200 million, it will be considered a commercial failure, but our real idea is 300 million~"
“Three hundred million? Hiss~”
Everyone couldn’t help but be stunned when they heard this number.
Nowadays, those who can break 100 million are very rare, and those who break 200 million can walk sideways in the circle. Why does Zhang Weiping dare to open his mouth? Isn't it because behind him is Zhang Yimou, who has broken 200 million.
So far in the country, only Zhang Chen and Zhang Yimou have exceeded 200 million.
There is only one person with 300 million, Cameron's "Titanic", 360 million.
But that is already the ceiling, a god-like existence.
"What happened to 300 million?"
Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Xi was a little unconvinced.
"In our "Painted Skin", the director is the best, the actors are also the best, the Fuhua Tao, the martial arts director, the art director, everything is the best.
We hired China Film Digital for the special effects department The center and Xantao Digital work together to present It's definitely not a junk product like "The Promise". It's the best in every aspect. If it's placed in the Lunar New Year period, I think it's still possible to break 300 million..." Chen Xi said impassionedly, and when everyone heard what she said, they were surprised It gave rise to a feeling that it was possible.
If you think about it carefully, Chen Xi said that the crew of "Painted Skin" is the best in all aspects. Although it is an exaggeration, it is not too different.
Is it really possible to break through 300 million?
For a moment, everyone's hearts became hot.
Being able to participate in a work worth over RMB 300 million is a huge influence for an actor.
Xiao Jin's face was red from drinking at this time, he patted his chest and raised his glass: "Director Zhang, if you say it's more than 300 million, no matter whether others believe it or not, I, old Xiao, believe it.
In the past two years, , I watched you create miracles step by step. You are a genius. As long as it is a movie, I will believe whatever you say. I respect you..."
Xiao Jin did drink a little too much, but It also looks cuter.
Zhang Chen was also moved by what he said and raised his glass: "Old Xiao, it's my turn to respect you. Thank you for accompanying me all the way and growing up with me."
After saying that, Zhang Chen said to the crowd: "You guys You may not know, but Lao Xiao has been cooperating with me since the first movie.
At that time, I was still a poor student and could not afford a high salary. At that time, Lao Xiao was a senior who knew special effects makeup. Talent, come to help for the sake of my teacher, and cooperate for the first time "Dark Invasion", we have been working together since then, and now I am the boss of the makeup team of Star Entertainment. What I am best at is CG makeup.
By the way, the monster makeup in "Dark Invasion". It's CG makeup. In this field, Lao Xiao is the best in our country..."
As he spoke, Zhang Chen gave a thumbs up, and several actresses next to him responded with admiring looks, turning Lao Xiao Xiao's blood boiled with excitement.
He waved his hand: "What are you talking about? A man will die for his confidant. I, Xiao Kong, have a lot of skills. At that time, no one in the country could use CG makeup.
In this aspect, we, Xingchen Entertainment, pioneered First of all, "Dark Invasion" and "Shark Beach" directly led to Related industries.
The best decision I have ever made in my life is to join Xingchen Entertainment.
Well, if I don’t say it too much, it would seem pretentious. It’s all in the wine. I did it. , you can do whatever you want~"
After that, Xiao Jin drank it all in one gulp.
"Fuck~" Zhang Chen couldn't really be casual, so he followed suit.
What he said caused everyone to applaud and express their feelings.
Just as Zhang Chen sat down, Mr. Zhou picked up the wine glass and came over again.
"Director Zhang, I have to thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to join "Painted Skin". In the past two years, I have made a lot of artistic films, but I have never had any resources for commercial films. It seems that everyone has already stereotyped me. , I am a literary actor.
So when Ms. Chen Xi approached me and invited me to play Pei Rong, I immediately agreed.”
The goddess of literature and art said it seriously, and it was obvious that this was what she really thought.
Chen Xi was smiling beside him.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen waved his hand to stop Zhou Xun from drinking: "Brother Xun, don't be in a hurry to drink. Now that we have said this, I will say a few words."
Mr. Zhou also wants to hear it. Hearing what Zhang Chen said, he didn't put down the wine glass he was holding.
Zhang Chen chuckled and said: "If you want to say you took advantage, it was actually "Painted Skin" that took advantage of you. Brother Xun, your acting skills are incredible. You are the most talented among all the actresses I have ever seen. It's really God who feeds you. The role of Pei Rong is actually a bit overkill for you
Why I say "Painted Skin" took advantage of you is because I have watched "If Love". When I went to Hong Kong last time, I met Director Chen Kexin through other people and chatted a lot, so I went to see "If Love" at the end of last year.
Here I will make a prediction. At this year’s Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards, you can at least win a trophy for Best Actress. ”
His~
Everyone was exclaiming.
Is Zhang Chen going to be the prophecy emperor again?
Although the Golden Horse Awards have been tepid in this era, the Academy Awards have always been authoritative.
Winning the Academy Award for Best Actress is almost equivalent to being at the top of the list of actresses.
"Now, you are still an actress in art films. When "Painted Skin" is released, you will be the Best Actress in the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress. Whether it is influence or salary, you said , did "Painted Skin" take advantage of you? "
Hearing Zhang Chen praise him so much, Mr. Zhou's face turned into a smile.
“Thank you Director Zhang for your kind words, then I will wait to receive the trophy.”
Regardless of whether Zhang Chen's words were polite or not, everyone else felt his affirmation of Mr. Zhou.
Mr. Zhou was also an open-minded person. He raised his neck and drank the three-ounce glass in one go. What Mr. Zhou drank was not wine, but Lao Yinchuan.
Zhang Chen was horrified when he saw it. Sister, do I know why your voice is hoarse?
But he could only have one drink with him. Although he could drink well, his stomach was also a little turbulent at this time.
Just now he unintentionally made a prediction again, but he has already predicted it several times, and it is not worse than this one, so it doesn't matter.
But the remuneration is really not nonsense.
Yuan Kong, the leading actors in "Painted Skin" only make less than 6 million in total, Zhao Yanzi has 1 million, and Chen Kun has 800,000. Only Donnie Yen has a higher salary, 8 million per person, which is more than the others. It's even higher.
This time and space is similar. The salary given by Zhang Chen is not high. Fan Binbin, Huang Xiaoming, and Zhou Xun are all 1 million, Zhang Jin is 800,000, and Yang Xiaomi is 300,000.
All the money was spent on special effects.
More than half of the cost of 90 million is for special effects, and the rest is for people to chew on, which is an astronomical figure every day.
And this is not all, if it is not enough, more may be added.
If Star Entertainment wants to break through 300 million, it must come up with something real.
At this time, Yang Xiaomi finally got a chance to speak, and quickly raised her glass: "Director Zhang, I also want to thank you..."
She originally wanted to consult the little bird spirit How to act, but the current atmosphere is obviously not suitable to talk about this, I can only talk about gratitude.
Zhang Chen spread his hands, "This is a wheel battle."
Everyone else laughed, "Yes, Yang Xiaomi took the lead, and we were all waiting in line."
"Director Zhang, I know, how many people want my role as a little birdie? Yes, Sister Chen Xi told me, and someone even offered a price that no one could refuse, but you They all refused..."
"Well, are you saying that I am not a human being?"
"Ah, that's not what I meant."
Yang Xiaomi also. I don't know what's going on. I usually have a sharp mouth, but why do I always feel so deficient in front of Zhang Chen.
Everyone laughed out loud and felt that this little girl was getting more and more cute.
Zhang Chen smiled and waved his hand: "I'm kidding you, don't mind. You were robbed of your role before. The role of Little Bird Spirit was promised to compensate you, and no one can take it away."< br>
Hearing Zhang Chen say this, Yang Xiaomi felt a sore nose. She had been frightened for the past two days, and these words made it all worth it.
Having been immersed in film sets since she was a child, she knows it all too well.
Even if the crew starts filming, it is common to change roles. No matter when the filming is not completed, the characters are not guaranteed.
But now that Zhang Chen has made a public commitment in front of so many people, this role should be solid.
After thinking about it, a smile appeared on his little face: "Thank you, Director Zhang~"
After that, he drank it all in one gulp, but his little face immediately turned red.
Zhang Chen made a move to drink, but when he caught a glimpse of the other people eager to try, he immediately stopped.
"Okay, let me take a break after drinking this cup and eat a few mouthfuls of food. You guys are about to join the group to learn moves from Master Yuan Ba. Why don't you give me a quick salute to Master Yuan? , be careful when he hides his secrets.
In addition, if you have any personal grudges, you can resolve them first. There is no need to stare at me.
By the way, Zhang Jin, didn’t you say that Shandong people can’t drink? Xiao Ming happens to be here, you can measure his depth..."
Hearing this, Zhang Jin's eyes immediately widened.
"I didn't say~"
"You said it, you said it during "The Rescue"~"
People around him immediately felt like they were flying in June. Director Zhang was so cruel. In order to eat a few bites of food, he did not hesitate to pull Zhang Jin out to block the gun.
Zhang Jin also reacted, hesitating for a few seconds, and then resigned: "Well, I said it, I forgot, I did say it~"
I don’t know how much is contained in this sentence Humiliation and unwillingness.
I am not clean anymore. In order to flatter Director Zhang, I am not clean anymore.
Then, he saw Huang Xiaoming next door looking towards him.
Malice from Shandong people +1
Huang Xiaoming raised his cup: "I am really not a drinker in Shandong. When I eat at home, I always sit at the children's table. Come on, brother Zhang Jin, why don't we go together~ ”
Watching the two of them drinking together, Zhang Chen felt so happy that he could finally have some food.
Well, Ningxia’s mutton is so delicious.
This is the largest ethnic minority settlement in China. The food culture is deeply influenced by Islamic food customs, and people like to eat beef and mutton.
Tan Sheep is also famous throughout the country.
I have to say, it’s really delicious.
......
(That’s all for today, our Ningxia Tan mutton rolls cost 58 per pound, where are you?)
