Chapter 726: The battle for status
Where there are people, there is a world of martial arts.
Where there are big men in the world, the depth of this lake will increase exponentially.
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless one male and one female.
Chen Long and Li Lianjie are both bigwigs in the world and tigers in the film and television industry.
Before the filming started, there was already undercurrent.
When the filming started now, the undercurrent came even more.
Before shooting this film, the two jointly established a company.
The company is established to share profits and gain greater voice.
At the same time, we can also check and balance each other.
How to check and balance?
Their company, J&JProduction, has the final editing supervision rights for the film "Kung Fu King".
The final editing rights are in the hands of director Robert.
But Chen Long and Li Lianjie can supervise the editing content.
The reason why they want this power is also very simple.
What will happen if the Double Dragon Club or the Top Double Dragon Club?
Look at the time Zhao Wenzhuo and Donnie Yen made a comeback in later generations, you will understand.
Who can convince who?
Of course, the matter between those two is not that simple, and there are still third parties involved in it.
The people who practice martial arts are already very energetic, and in the end they fought each other, which caused chaos in the entire Chinese entertainment industry and hurt innocent people on a large scale.
Especially Shu Qi, all the photos of her early years were exposed.
Isn't they just taking it off for a while?
Are you going to keep holding on?
For this behavior, Zhang Yuan silently right-clicked the picture and clicked download and save...
The ranks of Chen Long and Li Lianjie are much higher than those two.
Not only is the high rank, but the status is much higher.
Put it in advance.
We are making up for one piece to make money!
And it also makes money from the foreigners.
How can you make money if you make a fuss?
In this regard, the two of them are indeed not as clear as these two big shots.
The final supervision of editing rights was to avoid the conflict between Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhen Zitan later.
The content of supervision is the number of shots of two people, the editing time, and the importance of scenes.
Anyway, I have to serve a bowl of water.
Because many producers fooled big stars, they filmed for several months.
But in the end, the pieces are cut for you in less than five minutes, and the whole process is used as green leaves for the people who are praised by Jindao.
That's not a big loss.
I have become a substitute!
This kind of thing is said in advance, limiting the other party's desire and opportunity to deal with things, but instead makes the project go smoother.
The director team is also serving carefully and has taken care of it for a long time. We must not favor one or the other.
If we talk about these two people having dinner together and racing together, they are logically friends.
But the higher the human society, the higher the level, the more blurred the boundaries between friends and enemies, whether they are individuals, groups or countries.
Today is a friend, tomorrow can be an enemy.
Even if this matter is a friend, if another thing is changed, we will become enemies.
Shaking hands in the last second and turning against each other in the next second is normal.
Chen Long and Li Lianjie, although the boss is not young, they still have a childish side in their personalities.
What does a child look like?
Sit down in a row to eat, and you have to eat two bites, and I have to eat three bites.
Eat one more bite than you, then I will be better than you.
It may not be too bad, but the stubbornness brought by life will make them do something "boring" and "helpless".
Just like now.
Director Robert Zhang Yuan said it.
The first question is the location of the two people's rest area.
This kind of big shot must have his own folding stool, and people cannot sit on it casually.
You broke it for me, what should I do if I fell down?
So they are all fixed in a good position.
They both have to sit facing south.
Fight for the south position.
In ancient times, emperors faced north and south, and the main seats of dinner parties also faced north and south.
In ancient times, the emperors sat like this, so of course these two kung fu emperors had to go south.
After a long struggle, the assistants of both sides moved around, and finally Robert set up two pergolas and sat close to each other, facing south, and then the solution was solved.
I only learned about the seating in the lounge area here, and after lunch, I started to get up again.
It is easy to get sleepy after eating, so Liu Qianqian put down her lunch box and planned to go back to the RV to sit and rest.
She is always drunk. "Do you want to come together?" he asked him.
"Do you have a bed in your car?" Zhang Yuan asked with his head protrudingly.
"Go to yours..." Xiaolongnu complained in a low voice. "I want to lie down and rest for a while if I scold me for anything."
Her RV belongs to her own home, a GMC.
The bed does not have it, but there is the kind of large and flat sofa seat.
This car is all yellow card, and the length is more than 6 meters.
She may not be able to take Alpha for 10 years. She was a GMC as soon as she debuted.
"Forget it, I won't joke with you." Zhang Yuan said seriously. "Don't you let the opposite sex get in your car?" "You are different..." She said with her cheeks pink.
"I got the same."
"Although most of the people on the scene were from the crew, there were inevitably bad people."
"I got into your car and was photographed. I don't know how many short compositions I wrote. "
"Not good to you." "And I won't get in. In the future, if you go to another crew, there will be a man who wants to get into your car."
"Your assistant can say: Even Zhang Yuan is not allowed to join."
"Please use me as an example, you can solve 99% of the troubles."
"I know, You are for my own good." Liu Qianqian waved her hand with a smile, and then got into the car.
He also found a place to rest himself.
The contract signed by Zhang Yuan did not provide rest.
Li Vin did not.
Huayi has always been stingy with her own people.
As soon as he sat down, he saw director Robert passing by again sighing. "Director, what's wrong?"
There are still two brothers.
This time it's not a seat.
The parking space was changed.
These two international superstars competed for whose car was parked closer to the set.
This started to fight again.
Of course, I will not come forward.
Chen Long and Li Lianjie were having tea together with a smile.
The assistant and driver on the other end were reversing back and forth into the garage.
Zhang Yuan held his forehead.
"Two top male stars scramble for parking space..."
"It's childish or not."
Rob said that this is all good.
The two of them had already found him because of resting in the RV.
It was not a parking space at the beginning.
It is the color of the RV.
Both of them have golden patterns.
After all, gold is the color of the emperor.
Later, I changed the same two cars, exactly the same, and then I stopped.
Zhang Yuan remembers that Uncle Long customized a super RV in the next few years.
Many Hollywood stars customize RVs.
Uncle Long's car weighs 15 tons and has a small conference room and bedroom. It is 50 square meters in total, which is larger than the houses of many people...
This is all low-key.
The RVs of Will Smith, Tom Cruise and others are even more exaggerated.
Will's RV is two floors, as big as a bus, with a suite that is nearly 120 square meters, with a bathroom and a bar.
What is a world superstar?
The RVs of the two big guys are now standard, which is about the same size as the one Liu Qianqian brought.
"Director, why not..." Zhang Yuan gave a trick.
Not long after, the crew found that there was a RV parked on the inside of the studio gate.
Similar to the door god.
There are white frames on the ground, and the paint has not dried yet.
Obviously, this is not a parking space, so I customized two.
In this way, the distance will be the same.
There are all sides of the gate, can it be different?
But there are new problems, whoever is left or right.
You have to say one man and one woman, and you can also say one man and one woman on the left and one woman on the right.
But if two men are on the right, they will be neither male nor female.
None of them will do it.
Rob found Zhang Yuan directly.
You planned the parking space. Come on, there is a new topic, so let’s answer it.
Zhang Yuan scratched his head straight.
Can you come to me with some good things?
But he really came up with a move.
After explaining to Robert, the man who had half understood went to say hello.
After a while, I ran back and showed my smile.
"It works!"
What is the plan he gave?
Chenlong was born in 54 and is born in the year of the horse. Li Lianjie is born in 1963 and is born in the year of the rabbit.
Baba, Wu horse.
According to the traditional Chinese hours, the hour of Mao is 5 to 7 o'clock and the hour of noon is 11 to 13 o'clock.
If you draw a horizontal line with 3 to 9 points as the axis, the birth date and month correspond to the position on the dial, which happens to be mirrored.
The crew door just east-west, on the line from 3 to 9 o'clock.
They have no objection to explaining other things from the perspective of Yin and Yang Feng Shui and Chinese culture.
There are few people in their generation who are not superstitious.
Dividing according to their own zodiac signs, both of them felt it was reasonable.
Glad to Robert.
You Chinese still have this particularity!
Zhang Yuan knew that the reason was not important, but the important thing was to give a step to satisfy both parties.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
It seems fair.
Anyway, as long as these two are quiet, it will be fine.
And it is good for him. "Zhang Yuan, Brother Jie bought some fruits and said he would give you one."
After a while, Lao Li's assistant ran over and stuffed him a box of imported kiwis. "Zhang Yuan, Brother Long said you're going to have a drink together tonight."
As soon as this person left, Uncle Long's younger brother ran over again. "Sure!"
They were not stupid. Robert, who was half a Huaxiatong, couldn't figure out his idea even if he gave him ten bottles of Naobaijin.
As soon as they guessed and asked, they knew it was Zhang Yuan's trick.
If both sides do not offend, it is always not bad to be able to sell well.
But he still underestimated these two "incredible" abilities.
It was only a day later, when Zhang Yuan thought they were calm.
He only realized that he was just temporarily putting aside.
The big one is still behind! "Zhang." Before finishing work at 6 pm that day, Robert found him.
You white guys wouldn't have come to organize a meeting like a disgusting worker's worker, right... Zhang Yuan muttered in his heart and came to Robert's office.
Not.
It's not that Robert's conscience is very good.
It's just that the white people have to get off work and have no time to make those boring things with you.
The moment he saw this brother frowning, Zhang Yuan understood.
He has seen this expression many times recently.
I have a kind of constipation that I can't pull it out. I wanted to use Kaiser to help, but it turned out to be a 502 beauty.
You can tell at a glance that the two brothers are here again.
"Zhang, I'm in trouble again."
"And it's still a big trouble."
Can you stop relying on old paths?
I helped you once, and now I will look for me after I go back. "Director, actually, my job is an actor." Zhang Yuan explained half-jokingly.
The key is that he can't get any useful scarce attributes from this person, and he is too lazy to take action.
"I understand Zhang."
"But this matter is a bit similar to what happened before."
"I think you may be able to provide some innovative solutions."
What's the specific matter?
It's really troublesome!
If it was a minor dispute before, it would be harmless.
Then now this matter is a battle for status!
The problem comes up with the opening ranking!
According to the habit of filmmaking, many films will be featured in large subtitles at the beginning of the screening to introduce the list of leading actors.
Bad is bad on this starring list.
Who is ahead!
Whether it's two names together.
It's still on the front and rear lenses.
The scores will definitely be scored in sequence!
Let's come back to this question, who is ahead.
Talent battle!
Whoever is ahead means who is the first kung fu superstar and is stably suppressing the other side.
The competition for the cast list is very common, both in the opening and ending of the movie.
The degree of heat is as fierce as the red carpet and the competition for the C position of the group photo.
If this matter is not done well, it will turn aside.
It will affect shooting.
Robert was too impressed when he heard their assistants come to ask about this.
After finding that he couldn't solve the problem, he even called Xiao Wang, hoping that he, the investor representative who is also a Chinese, could come forward to mediate as an intermediary.
The key is who will take a step back?
Use money?
Who is short of money for them?
This is the tone that is fighting for!
The two superstars began to tear up the rankings... Zhang Yuan rubbed his eyebrows.
Hey!
And then he suddenly thought.
Just like the previous birthday, they had a coincidence.
Chenlong's English name is JackieChan.
Li Lianjie's English name is JetLi.
Their English names are both J.
This is also the origin of the name of the J&JProduction company they jointly established.
The first letters are all the same, so it's easy to deal with.
"Rob, look, their first letters are both J."
"You can do this..."
Zhang Yuan took a piece of A4 paper and used a pen to Write and draw on paper.
"Bravo!"
So long after, Robert applauded.
That's it.
The first letters are the same, so use the first letters, then write the English names of the two people, put them in brackets, and write them in Chinese.
Anyway, the main market of this film is overseas, and it can be said that it is just as prefaced with the English name.
In this way, the starting points of the two names are the same, and there is no distinction between them.
"Zhang, I knew you could do it!"
"Sure enough, it was the right decision to choose you to come to the crew!"
[Received thanks from Robert Minkov, director skills +1! 】
I only say that I won’t pay me a bonus.
I'm too lazy to care about you.
It's not just the face of the two elder brothers.
Robert hugged him excitedly and patted him on the back, then ran out of the door, intending to notify the two of them on the spot.
Huh... Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, it was fine if he didn't have to work overtime.
Stay away.
Go to find Xiaolongnu to learn foreign languages.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yuan came to the set early in a casual outfit.
His character wears makeup and costumes the most complicated, and he has to come one hour earlier than others and prepare in advance.
The second only to her is Li Qiong.
On the contrary, the protagonist group is very easy to work with, but it is in a mess anyway.
Ding thud...
As soon as he sat down, the makeup artist took out the powder when someone knocked on the door.
This time he is also up-to-date.
The makeup artist comes with it and the crew reimburses their wages.
The person who used it was an old acquaintance who was on the crew of "Liancheng Jue", and was named Zhou Xiaoli.
When Brother Qian put on makeup and fooled him into buying a small courtyard, he also asked her for help.
This time, Zhang Yuan, the crew's makeup artist, personally asked for a major change, so he simply found someone himself.
By the way, I signed a long-term contract so that the makeup artist would follow me all the time.
It is normal for an actor who is a little famous to bring his own makeup artist, and he can now reach this level.
The benefits of bringing your own makeup artist are not only familiar with the characteristics, but also know how to use your appearance strengths.
There is also the quality of cosmetics, and you can control them yourself.
Actors put on makeup every day, and often wear makeup for 16 hours a day, for several consecutive months.
The things you use are too bad, and acne is a trivial matter, and a bad face is also very common.
And if you have to use more cosmetics to conceal your face, it will aggravate the condition and become a vicious cycle.
The makeup artist ran to open the door.
Zhang Yuan looked through the makeup mirror and saw that the director came.
And this person had a very difficult expression on his face.
It was like vomiting and I wanted to take some stomach medicine, but I felt like I swallowed half a pack of cement.
It's so blocked.
"Director, what's the matter?"
"Zhang, I'm in trouble again."
"How can I not look for me?"
"No, because there is an old Chinese saying, "There is a beginning and an end." Robert also pulled the idiom with him. "Your plan yesterday was very good." The man didn't give him a chance to shirk it, and sat directly beside him. "But after I went to talk to those two, another small problem arose." "What's wrong?" Zhang Yuanxin said, isn't this perfect?
"You ask the two of them to write their names horizontally and vertically."
"Yes."
"The problem now is, whoever stands straight."
Zhang Yuan:...
He shook his hands and picked up a piece from the table. Packing cigarettes.
After pulling out one, I took out the lighter.
Then he stood up, found a 90-degree corner, and squatted down in a wall-facing manner.
Lighten a cigarette and took a sip.
Hiss...
Destroy, tired, hurry up!
