Chapter 195 If you don’t force yourself, you won’t know how much you have no bottom line.
The opening ceremony ended with Xu Ming’s remarks.
In his words, on the day the movie is released, the gods will surely block the gods and the Buddhas will block the Buddhas.
It’s not that he is too confident, but that his opponent will be vulnerable next year.
The top four box offices in the previous life, ranking first in "The Flowers of War" is about to be delayed until 12 years.
The second is "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" led by Bona, with Xu Ke and Li Lianjie, who is a strong opponent, but he only won more than 500 million box office.
I won’t talk about the third “The Founding of the Party”. The 400 million box office proves that this main theme movie that piles up stars has limited potential.
The fourth is "33 Days of Love Break", which was filmed by him in advance.
The old fifth "Eavesdropping Storm 2" is even more worth mentioning, with a box office of only more than 200 million yuan.
After this calculation, Xu Ming actually has only two opponents, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "The Great Founding of the Party".
The schedules are slightly staggered, and the remaining party dishes are picked up in minutes. "You guys take a photo first. I will have an interview with the Sixth Princess of CCTV in the afternoon. I will be able to share the people from Group B in two days when I come back." Jiang Wen is about to leave after attending the opening ceremony.
The more popular "Let the Bullets Fly", the more nervous he has. It is already a busy time to be able to attend the ceremony.
Why did the crew divide into AB groups decide when preparing for the preparation, or was it proposed by Ning Hao himself.
The latter didn't realize that he could beat Jiang Wen, so it would be better to delegate power directly and let Jiang Wen bother with the assistant director.
"How many days will you go in the next two days? We have to have an accurate number, otherwise the itinerary is not easy to arrange."
Xu Ming grabbed Jiang Wen and said seriously: "You are a big guide at least. I still need to teach you this?"
"Hey!"
Jiang Wen widened his eyes, and faced Xu Ming's unreliable eyes, and said angrily: "Three days, I will definitely join the group in three days."
"Okay, I can still trust Director Jiang's promises. After all, no one can stand without trust. Could Director Jiang be the kind of person who breaks his promise?" Xu Ming said with a smile.
Jiang Wen choked in his throat in one breath, and his mother's words were clearly blocking him.
The key is that there is only a moment before, he really wants to fool him first, but he really has no time to delay.
I didn't expect Xu Ming to rebel against the generals.
This kid knows himself very well.
"Don't worry, I will never go back on my word to block your boy's mouth." Jiang Wen said angrily.
Xu Ming smiled and sent him away with a smile on his face.
Wait for him to come back.
Ning Hao couldn't help but say, "You speak so hard to Director Jiang, don't you worry about offending him?"
He knew that Xu Ming and Jiang Wen had a good relationship, but in front of so many people, Jiang Wen had just broken the box office record and was so disrespectful. He was worried just now.
"That means you don't understand Director Jiang. He is smart. He understands the truth. It's just that he is willing to do it. The smarter the person is, the less likely he is to be offended, especially for matters that take the truth." "He is just used to testing other people's bottom lines. We have to keep the bottom line at the beginning so that he can't let himself go completely." Xu Ming explained that "The Unknown" is his trump card next year, and he cannot let go of mistakes. Naturally, he cannot allow Jiang Wen to do something randomly.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the emotional foundation between him and Jiang Wen is that the latter still owe him a great favor.
If it were someone else, it would be strange if Jiang Wen was not embarrassed.
Ning Hao nodded as if he understood it, not knowing whether he had understood the essence or the essence.
He immediately asked, "By the way, I don't understand what the video of Hu Guangsheng and Li Haigen in the script is about robber spoofing. I don't understand what it means. Can this thing defeat their self-esteem?"
To be honest, at the beginning, he suspected that the script was not written by Xu Ming.
It's someone who writes on his behalf.
But the deeper the contact with Xu Ming and the more discussions, the more impossible it is. This guy is very knowledgeable about the script, and his insights in some places made him, the director, unexpected.
It's so complete that the movie hasn't been filmed yet, and the other person's mind seems to be full of movies. "Have you watched "A Beast Cause of a Steamed Bun"? The so-called spoof video is the style extended from that video, but it will be more intense and sarcastic. I call it a ghost animal." "After a while, I will ask the spoof video to be cut out in the later stage, and you will understand it at a glance." Xu Ming has already figured out a propaganda plan centered on this.
The spoof video will be posted online in advance to create an off-the-scenes drama.
When it is released, if any viewers recognize it, it will be considered an Easter egg. "Then I understand." When Ning Hao heard "The Blood Case caused by a Steamed Bun", he immediately had a clear view of the emotions of the two stupid thieves.
This online short film from 2006 not only made netizens very happy back then, but was also regarded by many director students as a trendy way to deconstruct the film.
Even Director Chen was so angry that he sued the producer.
That would be true to the reaction of the two stupid thieves.
…
"Card!"
"This one is OK, it is stronger than the previous one. Xu Ming, you can be more aggressive and you must completely suppress Baoqiang." Ning Hao said.
Since the start of the shooting, although it started to be stumbled, fortunately, after everyone started to work, their efficiency gradually improved.
This mainly lies in Xu Ming's performance.
Wang Baoqiang needs to be said more, he has great worries. This character is almost no difficulty for the former.
But Xu Ming's side, compared with Wang Baoqiang's performance, it was almost interesting.
It’s not that he didn’t act well, it’s not good enough.
However, Ning Hao found that the other party adjusted quickly and basically pointed out the shortcomings, and would correct them in the next article.
This also made Ning Hao feel relieved, otherwise the performance level of Xu Ming, the starring actor, would not be able to keep up with it and the whole drama would have collapsed. "Okay, I'll adjust my status." Xu Ming nodded, walked to the monitor, and watched the replay of the clip he had just performed.
Compare with the original Zhang Yu performance in my mind, make improvements.
In the eyes of everyone, his strong learning ability is what he possesses.
Let’s take a look at Wang Baoqiang who is free and easy on the screen.
Xu Ming had to sigh that the other party was really a gift from God, and this guy couldn't even see any signs of acting.
It's a good thing that he did enough preparations before filming, and there are comparisons of the original versions to learn, otherwise he would be crushed to death by the drama. "Brother Baoqiang, how did you play the character? Do you have any skills?" Xu Ming asked. "I have no skills, I'm just thinking about it." Wang Baoqiang scratched his head.
He has never received professional training and mostly performs roles with his own intuition.
For example, Nezha with three eyes rolled...
"Okay, by the way, how are you talking about Xu Zheng's "Lost in Thailand"?" Xu Ming asked casually. "The talk is almost done, they are all friends. He is the first time he has been a director. He is not well-off at all. I am going to play in a friendly manner." Wang Baoqiang replied.
He is actually not that familiar with Xu Zheng, but he has worked together once in "Lost in the Road".
The latter called him to continue the popularity of "Lost in the Road". "Haha." Xu Ming chuckled, not saying anything. If I remember correctly, it was only after this movie that the two parted ways.
On the one hand, Huang Bo earned nearly 50 million in box office share, while Wang Baoqiang still paid 2 million in films.
Although Huang Bo used three million friendly pay as an investment to get dividends, after Xu Zheng made a big box office sales, he was reluctant to even give the latter a red envelope, which was a bit too stingy.
On the other hand, it is also related to "Hong Kong Empress", Xu Zheng wants to eat alone.
The sequel simply kicked out the other two starring actors, with him as the protagonist, but unfortunately he won the box office and overdrawn his reputation.
Bao Daier and Wang Baoqiang are not actors of the same level as Wang Baoqiang.
The same is silly, the latter makes people feel cute, the former makes people feel annoying, and sometimes it is really hard to say about the audience.
"Xu Zheng said that Qi Ming was planning to vote for him, why didn't he vote again?" Wang Baoqiang said in confusion.
"Investment is changing rapidly."
Xu Ming did not explain too much and responded to it.
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"I don't understand what these big guys are thinking, so I'll just shoot my scene." Wang Baoqiang shook his head and said.
Just like as a signed actor of Huayi, no matter how big the group has conflicts with Xu Ming, he did not stop him from joining the group.
Enemy and friends sometimes only depend on the change of position.
In fact, Xu Zheng came to Qi Ming many times a while ago, but every time he was deliberately shirked by Xu Ming and never showed up.
If this guy dares to use himself as a backup, he has to bear the corresponding price.
The companies such as Light, which were originally interested, seemed to be frightened by the online articles about actors' directors and the copyright issues of "Lost in the Road", and were constantly shaking.
In this case, Xu Zheng has little choice.
Xu Ming is sure that the other party will find him here. Anyway, he has bought the copyright of "Lost in Thailand" from Huaqi.
If this guy is really ignorant, he doesn't mind starting another series.
Wait until another shot is finished.
When Xu Ming found the state he wanted.
A business car drove into the set and got a bald head out of the car. "It's winter, I brought you some hot drinks. Don't be polite, each person has a cup." Xu Zheng signaled the entourage to carry the hot drinks down, and then walked towards Xu Ming and others.
His face was filled with smiles: "I'm here to visit everyone, didn't disturb you?"
"No, we just finished taking a photo, why are you thinking about coming?" Wang Baoqiang said happily.
"Director Ning Hao has worked together twice. We are also old partners. I know Mr. Xu, both of them are old acquaintances. I passed by Long Province, so I naturally have to come over to say hello to you." Xu Zheng smiled. "I heard that he was talking nonsense, I called him to come and play a guest role." Ning Hao explained. "Hey, you're here to act, and you're hiding it from me." Wang Baoqiang patted Xu Zheng's arm, and the latter had a forced smile on his face.
Obviously, it is not very suitable for the other party's hot body movements.
Xu Ming watched calmly. He had a premonition that the other party was coming for himself. It seemed that the financing journey of "Lost in Thailand" was not going smoothly.
That's true, after all, there is a guy like him who throws nails on the road in this life.
No matter how good the other person's tire is, it will leak. "I only have about a hundred pounds of meat, and I will leave it to you Director Ning to arrange it." Xu Zheng greeted everyone and took the script from the deputy director, as if he was just for a guest appearance.
Xu Ming was not in a hurry, he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai anyway. "Xu Zheng said he was coming to visit the set two days ago. I told him that he would help him play a guest role when he came. He thought that if he didn't come, he would change someone, so he didn't notify you in advance."
Ning Hao specially found the former and explained who made the other party the crew the biggest investor.
Xu Zheng has a guest role, and he naturally has to inform the other party of the same person who gets a paycheck. "Haha, it's a good thing to invite Teacher Xu to play a guest role. If you think these roles are suitable, just set them up directly." Xu Ming said with a faint smile.
He is not the one who keeps his hands on small matters, he just vaguely just passes.
On the first day, I received a wind from Xu Zheng.
The next day, the other party went to Group B to film a rival scene with Jiang Wen.
It was not until the third day of the arrival that Xu Zheng took advantage of the evening to return to the hotel and found Xu Ming.
"Mr. Xu, do you have time? I want to talk to you about something."
Xu Zheng stood at the door and said respectfully. "Yes, come in and talk, Director Xu." Xu Ming welcomed the other party into the door with a close attitude. "I'm so good at Director Xu. I've just co-directed several TV series." Xu Zheng waved his hand and said modestly.
"You are..."
Xu Ming didn't have time to talk to this guy, and signaled the other party to get straight to the point. "It was still the one I talked to about "Lost in Thailand" with you before. I thought about it for a while and felt that I could only feel at ease when I cooperated with you." Xu Zheng said.
It's still holding it at this time.
What is considered during this period of time? It is obviously a failure to compare the stores.
I can only feel at ease when I cooperate with myself. It is obvious that other companies are not as generous as him.
The conditions given by the light should be relatively harsh.
Think about it, it is not good for Xu Zheng in public opinion, and there are disputes over copyright. All kinds of negative buffs are stacked together. It would be strange if the investor did not lower the price. "Oh, Lost in Thailand, we discussed it internally, and it doesn't quite meet the company's requirements." Xu Ming smiled and said the most ruthless words.
Xu Zheng was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect that he would go smoothly in the first time, but he hit a wall for the second time.
You know that a good horse will not eat the grass, but it will be even more devastating to find that it will not be eaten. "Aren't you quite optimistic about it before? I polished the script for a while, and it is guaranteed to be more funny than before and more in line with the audience's appetite." Xu Zheng said anxiously.
"Who can really understand the audience's appetite? You have also seen that "Tangshan" and "Let the Bullets Fly" are not comedy themes, which means that the market trend is not in comedy, let alone we have already invested in the black comedy "The Unknown". "
Xu Ming shook his head and said with an apology: "You might as well ask other companies in the industry. I heard that Pony Pent and Light are collecting new projects, or I will introduce you to Dong Yu of Bona."
Xu Zheng has been to all the companies mentioned by the other party. If there is hope, he will not travel far to Long Province to make a guest appearance.
"Mr. Xu, I'll tell you, I've contacted all these companies. They are not thinking of making a good movie. I can't accept that my work has been tampered with beyond recognition."
"I believe that as a screenwriter and actor, you understand my mood."
Xu Zheng played the sincerity card with a sincere look: "I am willing to spend 10 million savings to invest in the movie. You can start filming by helping to allocate funds."
"The previous conditions were not suitable, so we can talk about it."
I'd be over if I had talked like this earlier.
This person sometimes doesn't know how unrestrained he is.
