Chapter 70 Martial Arts Instructor Wu Bin
Lin Yong gently opened the door and walked in. Seeing that everyone was still reading around, he found a stool and sat down.
Zhu Jinming glanced at him, and Lin Yong nodded slightly, indicating that what Liu Hongmin said was true. Zhu Jinming smiled and continued to listen to the lines spoken by the two veteran actors.
These lines have been changed several times and they read much more smoothly.
Soon, the reading ended and everyone looked at Lin Yong.
Lin Yong stood up and said, "Good news, the desert that Hongmin mentioned really exists, and it has already formed a large scale. Linxiang County heard that we wanted to go there to film, and expressed great welcome. And said, If we need it, we can help set up the scene. In other words, if we want, the entire film can be shot there."
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but let out a cheer. Especially for two veteran actors, Xie Tian and Cheng Qiang, going to the desert for filming would indeed be a test for them. If it were replaced by Hunan Province, the situation would be much better.
“Let us thank the red people for providing us with a new shooting location!”
“Hua Hua Hua——”
Everyone immediately stood up and applauded, they shouted Liu Hongmin came here just to check for gaps and make sure the core of the movie remained unchanged. Unexpectedly, Liu Hongmin actually brought them such a surprise.
Liu Hongmin stood up quickly, "I just mentioned it."
Lin Yong waved his hand and asked everyone to put their hands down.
"Hongmin, you don't know how much benefit your words will bring to us. I won't talk about the health of the two old colleagues, but just talk about the cost of the film, which can save at least 20 %."
Zhu Jinming also said: "That's true, Comrade Liu, you deserve everyone's applause."
"Today's reading was a success, and there is still some time before the start of the program. , maybe we can rehearse it, after all, there are a lot of martial arts scenes in it."
Lin Yong nodded, "I think it's okay"
"I'll go to Hunan Province first. It’s agreed to build a Kucha city. Hongmin, do you have any information about Kucha city?”
Liu Hongmin shook his head, “If you really want to build a Tucheng, you can introduce me. I'll let you know that he has done some research in this area. However, I don't think you need to build the entire Kucha city, just build an earthen wall. As long as the camera angle is right, the final scene can be eliminated. One thing is that Guo Yuanzheng and Lu Shishi met a caravan on the road. The caravan needs a team of camels. Can Hunan Province get one? "
Lin Yong: "I will find one after I get there. Look for it!”
Liu Hongmin: “If you don’t have camels, you can find some donkeys or mules. Only relatively large caravans on the Silk Road use camels, and small caravans basically use donkeys and mules.”< br>
"Donkeys and mules are easy to find." Lin Yong said: "Hongmin, how about you help people to the end, or become our historical consultant?"
Liu Hongmin was stunned for a moment, "Brother Lin, where am I? I have time! How about I introduce one to you?”
“What are you introducing?”
Lin Yong said: “You are the author of the original work and you are a student of history. Are you more suitable?"
Zhu Jinming also advised: "Yes, Comrade Liu, this movie is very important to us, I think it is also very important to you, if you come to be a consultant, It will be good for your future."
Liu Hongmin thought for a moment, "If it's just in the capital, that's no problem." Zhu Jinming: "In this way, I'll let the artist do the costumes. Try on the clothes. If everything goes well, you won't have to go to Hunan Province."
"That's okay!" Liu Hongmin agreed.
In the next few days, Liu Hongmin went to Beijing Film Studio to watch rehearsals. After watching it for a few days, Liu Hongmin couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Why don't we find a martial arts instructor!"
Fighting scenes are rarely shot in mainland movies these days. Even if there is, unless it is a relatively professional fighting scene, there is basically no need for martial arts guidance. The martial arts instruction industry only emerged after the "Shaolin Temple" became popular.
Zhu Jinming also felt that the fighting scene was a bit weak, so he originally planned to just make do with it. After all, the core of this film is not a fighting drama, but since Liu Hongmin brought it up, it is not impossible to find a martial arts instructor, which will cost at most 180 yuan.
So, Zhu Jinming asked Beijing Film Studio to contact the Beijing Martial Arts Team. The Beijing Wushu Team was very cooperative and assigned a coach.
"This is coach Wu Bin, he is the deputy leader of the Beijing Wushu Team."
Zhu Jinming shook hands with Wu Bin, and then told Wu Bin the situation. Wu Bin heard Zhu Jinming's request and devised martial arts moves on the spot without even hesitating.
Army fighting requires simple movements, so Wu Bin just adjusted the way the two veteran actors exerted force, and the two quickly mastered the fighting movements. Of course, if you want to be proficient, you need more practice, so Wu Bin needs to be seconded for a few days.
In their spare time, Wu Bin and Liu Hongmin got together.
Wu Bin heard that Liu Hongmin had been to Xiangjiang and met the Xiangjiang crew filming, so he asked Liu Hongmin many questions.
He has many martial arts athletes who are always looking for opportunities to shoot film and television dramas. A few months ago, Li Lianjie was selected by Zhang Xinyan, the director of "Shaolin Temple", and has already joined the team for training.
This drama is a co-production, most of the staff are from Hong Kong, and the actors are basically from mainland China. I heard that because of the different treatment in the two places, there are often frictions within the crew.
Liu Hongmin explained Xiangjiang's treatment and said: "If you want to seek equal treatment, it is basically impossible. Although Great Wall Film Company has a domestic background, it is a Xiangjiang company after all. Unless you can Find someone you can talk to, otherwise they won’t take the initiative to increase costs.”
Does Wu Bin know anyone who can talk to him? The only rich person he knew was Liu Hongmin.
"Hongmin, you made so much money in Xiangjiang, why don't you make a movie?"
Liu Hongmin was stunned for a moment, this proposal is very attractive!
It’s not that he didn’t consider making movies before, but he only made a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars at that time, which was too little money to invest in movies.
But, it’s different now. He has not yet asked Sanlian Publishing House to pay him two royalties less! Whether it is the traditional Chinese version or the Japanese version of Shaobao Er, it has sold much more than before. There is only a Korean version, so the number of copies I bought is about the same as before.
More than two million Hong Kong dollars is definitely not enough to shoot a movie in Hong Kong. But if you are shooting a movie in the country, it is more than enough!
After "Shaolin Temple" is released, martial arts movies will take the world by storm. When the time comes, as long as Li Lianjie is signed, it will be a cash cow! Even if Jet Li can't be signed, it's not impossible to bring out a few martial arts stars!
What's more, he now has a future superstar in his hands, and it would be a waste not to use it.
It seems that "The Ming Dynasty 1566" needs to be released first, and Shao Bao San will be written out first.
