Chapter 59 Chaos and Trouble
The opening ceremony is over.
The reporters returned home with a full load.
I paid enough for the carriage and horse fare when I came, but I didn’t expect that I could bring aniseed with me when I left.
"Xiao Xu, your speech is too explicit...sigh."
Zhang Guoshi sighed, he never likes to offend others.
Even if I despise "Red Cliff" in my heart, I will never show it.
"I think it's pretty good. For young people, it's normal to be a bit unabashed in what you say. Besides, that Wu Yusen can shoot crappy stuff. With the same funds and subject matter, if he shoots it for you, it will definitely be much better than him."
< br>
Zhang Weiping admired it with eyes and patted Xu Ming on the shoulder, feeling quite the same as me.
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, plus Motoyama was there.
He really wanted to wave his hoe and adopt a son.
"It's all thanks to Master's good teachings, and in my heart, Director Zhang is indeed better than the one named Wu, and our movie's box office will definitely surpass "Red Cliff"." Xu Ming flattered him fiercely.
Could he not know that "Three Guns" has received polarizing reviews after its release, and the box office has only reached 260 million, which will exceed half of the total box office of the two parts of "Red Cliff"?
Even Zhang Guoshi and Zhang Weiping knew it was impossible.
After all, the total investment in "Three Guns" was only 70 million, of which 15 million was used to buy the film adaptation rights of "Blood Maze" and 20 million was used for publicity funds.
Excluding the actors' remuneration, the funds spent on production did not exceed 30 million.
The total investment of "Red Cliff" is 85 million US dollars, totaling 600 million yuan. Even if it is exaggerated, it will not be much more.
But what Xu Ming said, even if it was unrealistic, would only make the two of them happy to hear it.
It can be said that "Three Guns" can be compared with "Red Cliff", which is already a victory.
"I taught you well. Please speak clearly and let others hear you. You will think that what you child said was my instruction."
Uncle Benshan's mouth twitched at the side, wishing he could give his disciple a slap on the back of the head.
I just want him to make some noise, similar to shouting a slogan that the movie box office will exceed hundreds of millions. Who would have thought that this guy would go to "Red Cliff" to get into trouble.
By the way, this guy's last movie partner was Orange Sky Entertainment, so it's absolutely unambiguous to use his former colleague as a tribute.
"Yes, yes, it was not taught by my master, it was all my own thinking." Xu Ming nodded repeatedly.
It's just that the big guy no longer believes it, with an expression that sees through everything.
Finished.
It looks like this pot can't be removed.
Uncle Benshan scratched his head and looked at Xu Ming next to him. The latter had a harmless expression on his face, and he immediately became angry.
"I am your master. What principles should I tell you? Come here."
"Master, kick gently."
……
"Stuck!"
"This is the way to go."
Xu Ming was relieved when he heard Zhang Guoshi's voice.
He was dressed in pink, so gorgeous that he didn't even notice it.
Regardless of Zhang Guoshi's reputation in later generations, Xu Ming appeared in the former's scene for the first time as an actor, and the tension cannot be erased.
Fortunately, the difficulty of the first step is very low.
"Xu Ming, you don't have to be too tense. Relax and use your most comfortable performance method. If you need to adjust, I will tell you." Zhang Guoshi shouted from behind the monitor.
"I understand, Director Zhang."
Xu Ming nodded and let the makeup artist touch up the makeup on his face.
Then the master walked over slowly and said in a low tone: "Director Zhang is right, your acting is too serious. It brings out the feeling of the two of us."
"Although you entered the industry halfway, I think your performance on Liu Laogen's big stage was not bad."
He brought the entire Zhao family class here just to promote the Errenzhuan culture.
It also laid the foundation for Liu Laogen's big-stage theater performances.
Xu Ming's acting just now was more serious, which was not in line with his ideas.
It was quiet.
Often, there can only be one person's voice on the set, and that's the director.
What's more, this is Zhang Guoshi's place.
"Okay, let me adjust my state, Master." Xu Ming nodded.
Zhang Guoshi didn't say anything, how could he go against his master's wishes?
But the anger that was hidden in my heart at the beginning dissipated in an instant. I am the only actor in "Three Guns", and the right to speak lies with Zhang Guoshi, Master and Zhang Weiping.
He could only nod to anyone who spoke.
When the filming started again, Xu Ming showed off his excitement when he acted in "Not Short of Money".
This time the master was satisfied.
Zhang Guoshi frowned.
Everyone on the field is waiting.
"Let's do it again. Just try the show and do it every way." Zhang Guoshi said thoughtfully.
This result made everyone in the crew breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a haze emerged in their hearts.
The director still compromised out of habit.
But he only compromised half of it, neither fully moving closer to Uncle Benshan's ideas, nor firming up his own ideas.
When there are two voices on a set.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
This is doomed to the chaotic style of this movie.
Xu Ming is good at everything.
He uses multiple acting methods to express almost every scene.
Although he was caught between Zhang Guoshi and Uncle Benshan, he was very ecstatic.
But under the hands-on training of the two, Xu Ming's acting skills improved by leaps and bounds.
He also realized that if the film had a different director, "Three Guns" might become a vulgar comedy that would do well at the box office.
If Zhao Jiaban was replaced in this drama, perhaps "Three Guns" could become a brain-burning suspense film with a good reputation.
But Zhang Guoshi and Uncle Benshan are both very talented people.
When two very talented people, but neither agree with the other, meet, if their thinking cannot be synchronized, the mixture will become a disaster.
For several days.
Xu Ming has turned on the bad mode.
"Brother Honglei, please do your best."
"Cheng Ye, just let go and act, I will support you."
"Sister Yan Ni, the comedy effect performed by you and Teacher Ni Dahong is so good. I think we can keep up the good work."
In short, the scenes are all yours, and I, the protagonist, am willing to be a green leaf for you.
So much so that there was a wave of humility in the group.
Everyone knows that Xu Ming is generous.
The more this happens, the more willing everyone is to give in to him.
Your sister, I really don’t want to show so much face, okay...
Xu Ming wanted to cry but had no tears.
But how many people really don’t want to act in Zhang Guoshi’s play?
Even if the former shows resistance, everyone will just think that young people are thin-skinned.
"Stuck!"
"This is it, it's done."
Everyone responded feebly.
After several days of continuous work, they were exhausted.
Including the actors, they were also full of confusion and their acting was so messed up.
Xu Ming looked even more drained.
Every time he took a photo, the thoughts the two of them instilled in his ears seemed to be fighting in his mind.
In his previous life, little Shenyang listened to his master wholeheartedly.
But Xu Ming couldn't do it. He knew what would happen if he continued acting like that, so he was embarrassed.
I can no longer let myself lie down like this.
Otherwise, he was afraid that he would have a mental breakdown before the filming was finished.
He wants to open the mic boldly!
"Director Zhang..."
A bit stuck, there will be another chapter later
