Chapter 313 Troubleshooting
After the official media exit, ‘Tian Shang Zhi Xi’ has really broken out of the circle. Not only has the number of newly uploaded videos skyrocketed, but it has also received an invitation to Andy Lau’s Magic City concert.
Although I am only responsible for the warm-up before the official performance, this is already a huge breakthrough compared to before.
Even Li Xiuman made a special call to express his gratitude to Xu Kun and LeTV.
The biggest beneficiary of this hype is undoubtedly the combination of Xu Kun and Tianshang Zhixi, but "The World" has also taken a sip of soup, and most reports will casually mention the name "The World" head.
The Sixth Princess is also very satisfied with this. When they chose Xu Kun, apart from being dissatisfied with the Hong Kong people's "grouping together to exclude others", they wanted to use Xu Kun's fame to popularize the project.
Now that we got what we wanted, we even spent an unprecedented 500,000 yuan on special effects.
This little money can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, Zhang Jin's own martial arts foundation can offset a lot of expenses. Zhou Yi's martial arts team is not just a fake. The martial arts moves designed are both smart and beautiful.
Xu Kun personally experienced it and was full of praise for Zhou Yi's martial arts - he invited two sets of martial arts fingers for "Heroes of Sword", but combined they couldn't touch Zhou Yi's. exhaust.
As soon as he finished practicing the routine designed by Zhou Yi, Huang Bin hurriedly offered him a towel and sour plum soup, and at the same time flattered him: "Director Xu, your skills are no worse than Wu Ying's!"
Zhang Jin also echoed from the side. : "Director Xu's speed and strength are rare among free-boxing fighters. If we were to fight, I might not be Director Xu's opponent."
"Stop praising me. I'm going to use a weapon." It’s all for free.”
Xu Kun wiped his face hard, but he was not in a hurry to drink the sour plum soup. In this summer, filming an action scene would be over if he accidentally exploded his lungs.
Although he claims to have used the weapon for free, he actually believes in disguise that he may not be weaker than Zhang Jin in a bare-handed fight.
Both of them are talented players. Zhang Jin has the guidance of a famous teacher, and Xu Kun has the physical advantage. If he really risks his life, it depends on who is ruthless enough.
"Where did the sour plum soup come from?"
At this time, Producer Dong asked doubtfully: "I don't seem to have approved this funding, right?"
Xu Kun turned around after hearing this. Xiang Huang Bin thought to himself that this guy couldn't use his own money to open a small stove, right?
As a result, Huang Bin was also a little confused: "Isn't this arranged by you?"
The three of them were staring at each other with big eyes. Yin Tao, who was wearing a small suspender and blowing a fan aside, said vaguely: "Someone gave this specially to our crew."
As soon as she said it, the three of them understood. .
It is true that Sun Donghai has never been to the crew again, but his presence is indirectly highlighted from time to time.
Xu Kun has not found a way to counter the general's army yet, so he can only adopt a ignoring attitude for now.
After calming down for a while, he said to everyone: "It's almost time to rest, let's continue shooting - first a long shot, and then a close shot."
The reason why we emphasize close-up shots is not for the cameraman, but for the leading actors.
Because when taking pictures of distant views, they can only dress neatly.
But when taking close-up shots with only the upper body exposed, they can roll up their gowns to their waists and wear only a pair of large pants underneath.
Even Yin Tao is no exception.
She, Zhang Jin, and Zhang Ruoyun were standing in a perfect glyph formation, speaking their lines in a serious manner, and below were three pairs of naked thighs. They all wanted to take off their shoes and stuff their feet into the silent fan.
At this time, Xu Kun was glad that he had the foresight. If he had directed and acted himself, if nothing else, the steamer day in June alone would drive people crazy.
Of course, even if he was just a director, he would not have much time to spare. He had to communicate with various departments every day, especially the cameramen. He wished he could break down every shot and discuss it.
When others were resting at night, he was still studying the storyboards.
The more he studied, the more Xu Kun felt that directing was a tricky job.
Film and television dramas can be said to be a synthesis produced by the collision of the minds of directors, screenwriters, and actors.
And because the director's personal color and outlook will affect all aspects of the film to the greatest extent, the director must try to maintain a certain degree of restraint and objectivity during the filming process.
Every thought that pops up in your head requires repeated introspection. Is it self-pleasure to take pictures like this? Can the audience accept it? Is this metaphor too deep? Would it appear banal and tacky if it was too straightforward?
After you have finished self-reflection, you should also seek the opinions of those around you and try to distinguish whether they are telling the truth or trying to flatter you.
In short, every idea, from birth to implementation, must be kneaded like dough, and by the time it finally reaches the camera, it will most likely be unrecognizable.
Then you start to worry again, wondering whether the product of this compromise is what the audience wants. With all this going on, it’s no wonder that many directors are grumpy when filming—worrying hurts the spleen.
Of course, there are some talented directors who can produce amazing works according to their own wishes; but most people can only produce a bunch of hysterical garbage if they act recklessly.
Xu Kun is not the former, nor does he want to be the latter.
So I can only grit my teeth and fight with my own thoughts and ideas.
But he said that after work went on strike that night.
Zhang Ruoyun, who was wearing striped trousers and rolled up his vest into a creaky nest, ran to Xu Kun and said, "Director Xu, do you think it's still too late for me to start practicing martial arts from now on?"
"What are you doing? "
Xu Kun turned his attention away from QQ on his mobile phone, glanced at him and asked: "You want to beat your father to the ground and beg for mercy?"
"I don't learn martial arts. You can do it too!"
Zhang Ruoyun made a bodybuilding pose, and then explained: "I just saw that you and Jin Ge's movements are very handsome, so I also want to learn it, maybe I can use it in future filming. Up.”
Although he seemed rebellious when we first met him, this kid was actually quite easy to get along with - his rebellion was just a silent protest against his father.
In addition, he felt that he and Xu Kun were in the same boat, so he pestered Xu Kun with questions every chance he got.
“It’s good to learn.”
Xu Kun nodded and said: “It’s definitely too late to practice real kung fu at your age, but it’s never too late to learn routines - you’re an actor He has average talent, but after learning some martial arts routines, there are still many ways out."
When Zhang Ruoyun heard that he had average acting talent, he immediately became a little unhappy, pouting like a donkey and looking mindless. look.
But Xu Kun doesn't hate such people.
Since becoming famous, there are too many people around me who are deliberately trying to flatter themselves, and a middle-aged boy like this can actually be a relief.
At this moment, a call suddenly came in. Xu Kun motioned for him to get on the bus quickly, then walked to the corner and answered the phone.
The call was from Lu Liping.
She has successfully connected with Li Xiaoran in the past few days, using the reason of 'preaching'.
Sun Haiying is a well-known 'crazy believer' in the circle, and it is normal for Lu Liping to help attract people to preach.
It just so happens that Li Xiaoran has been emotionally unstable recently and can easily resonate with those religious theories. It can be said that the two parties hit it off.
It only took less than a week for Lu Liping to become warm and familiar with Li Xiaoran, and even went to church together twice.
After getting in touch with him more, she also sympathized with Li Xiaoran's experience.
This girl was also bewitched by Sun Donghai's sweet words at first. Sun Donghai was obedient to her before he succeeded, but after he succeeded, his true colors were gradually exposed.
First, she monitored her schedule, and when Li Xiaoran questioned her, she yelled at her, and later even started to fight.
What made Li Xiaoran collapse the most was that Sun Donghai even threatened her parents in person, pointing at their noses and swearing.
Xu Kun was not surprised that Sun Donghai beat and scolded Li Xiaoran, but he had the same attitude towards Li Xiaoran's parents...
It can only be said that from the bottom of his heart, he did not regard Li Xiaoran as his equal. creature.
Instructing Lu Liping to continue to inquire for more information, preferably Sun Donghai’s other bad behavior, Xu Kun hung up the phone.
This time the black material is still close to being exposed. When more is collected in the future, it may be exposed to the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Based on Sun Donghai’s background, Hong Kong and Taiwan media will definitely write a big book about it.
However, this matter cannot be rushed. It is best to wait for the right opportunity, either until Sun Donghai gets into trouble with others again, or until Xu Kun gets into trouble with the Hong Kong and Taiwan media again.
This way Sun Haidong will not be able to find him easily.
