I'm the director, I'm not bad

Zhang Yimou's words are straightforward.Even outright cruel.

He directly told the gap between them and Xu Xin.But no one refuted.

I can't even think of a rebuttal.

During these two days, they followed Xu Xin almost every step of the way, from the preparations in the early stage, to some handling methods and the strength they showed when the filming started.
Even when they were resting after lunch, Xu Xin would not refuse their request to see the original film, and generously showed them the original film after filming.

While showing, while telling his own creative ideas.For example, why use a gray and white filter.

What does the feeling of paleness conveyed through the screen want to express, and why one of the several scenes that were filmed was chosen alone, and the others are not so good.

Again.

If you just look at the mountain without climbing it, you don't know how high the mountain is.

With Xu Xin's explanation, they gradually discovered that the set, camera angle, entry point, and even the expressions of the actors, etc., which seemed simple at first glance, actually buried so much thought of the director.

If he doesn't say it, it may take a long time for the other party to understand.But after he finished explaining, everyone felt enlightened.

I feel like I learned a lot.

The most important thing is that the person who teaches them is only 24 years old this year.Not even satisfied.

The full age is only 23 years old.

Among this group of graduate students, Wen Muye, the youngest, was born in 85.The oldest is Guo Fan, who is 80 years old.

He is 30 years old this year.

This age is not uncommon among postgraduates. After all, after graduating from university, there are many people who started working in the society for two years and found that they did not have enough accumulation.

However, these people faced a junior in 86, and the gap they felt in him, as well as the other party's brilliant resume, inevitably made some people feel a little frustrated.

But it can't last for too long.

After feeling frustrated, they will immediately stop being fascinated by Xu Xin's simple and sometimes brilliant shooting techniques at that time, and immerse themselves in the absorption of that knowledge again.

If you can't compare it, you can't compare it.

Don't say 30 years old. ． ． ．It’s just that some of those 35- and 40-year-old directors in the industry still haven’t fully understood.

If you have the kung fu to feel sorry for yourself, it is better to learn something from Director Xu or Director Zhang.After all, Director Zhang seems to be quite talkative, and he doesn't have the airs of a big director.

If people leave something out from between their fingers, they can make themselves useless.This kind of opportunity must be seized.

Shooting "The Hawthorn Tree" is Xu Xin's most important thing now, but it doesn't mean he has nothing else to do.No, "The Hawthorn Tree" started filming on the 2nd, but on the 5th, the crew went back to Yuan'an for a rest.

Because the director is going to Shanghai for a meeting.World Expo will be held.The time is 2 days.

And Zhang Yimou was walking with him.

The old man returned to Yanjing, planning to start the project of "Jinling". Early morning on the 5th.

The two of them set off from Yuan'an in a car and headed for Yichang.

Xu Xin's original intention was to take his own plane to fly to Shanghai, and after flying to Shanghai, he got off the plane and sent the old man back to Yanjing.But Zhang Yimou found it troublesome.

Insist on taking the passenger plane.

The most important thing is that he was alone this time, Assistant Shen and the others didn't bring him with him.

Xu Xin was quite worried, for fear that he would be recognized at the airport and blocked by reporters and wanted Zhang Mo to come with him.As a result, the old man stared:

"She's an assistant director. She still has a lot of work to do while you're away. What do you want her to do with me?" At the end, there was another sentence:
"Can I still lose it?"

One sentence was blocked by Xu Xin.Xu Xin had no choice but to give up.

Sitting in the commercial vehicle from Yuan'an to Yichang, he thought for a while and asked, "I heard that you plan to

Invite a Hollywood actor? ""Ok."

Zhang Yimou nodded: "Have you seen Batman?" "Which one?"

"The Nolan series." ..
The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched, and after the story of "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" appeared in his mind, he began to associate the image of John Miller, a drunkard.

Subconsciously asked:

"You don't want to invite Christian Bale, do you?" Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up:
"You also think he is suitable?" "No."

After mixing the images of Batman and John Miller in his mind, he shook his head slightly:

"I can't think of it for the time being. Maybe I can get a feeling by looking at your makeup photos. But... His salary is not cheap, right?"

"It's okay, it's not expensive. We first met when I lined up the "Qin Shihuang" for the Metropolis. The guy is very humble, and I met him at the film festival. I thought he was very suitable for John at the time." I also asked him about the image of Miller. He contacted me around the beginning of last year. I have already read the original work.”

"Agreed to act?" "Yeah." Zhang Yimou agreed:
"I agreed last year, but the difficulty now lies in the salary." Speaking of this, there was a trace of emotion in his eyes:
"Hollywood salary. It's too expensive." "How much does he offer?"

"900 million U.S. dollars. In terms of conversion..." "Sixty-five-six million."

Xu Xin reported the numbers directly.However, I have some doubts:

"No, isn't he a Hollywood superstar? The reputation of "Batman" is really good, especially the second one. He actually only has 900 million? I remember he won something else with "Batman". The best of Saturn Actor award, right?"

"Fortunately, it's not the Golden Globes or the Oscars. Otherwise, the price would have tripled at least. So I can accept the price. I will sign the contract after confirming the film project with Weiping this time."

When Zhang Weiping was mentioned, Xu Xin frowned.After thinking about it, he said:
"Just one Bell costs more than 6000 million yuan, not to mention. They are all amateurs, and they don't cost much. The children are not counted. So he is the most expensive movie?"

"There is also a Hollywood photography team. I plan to shoot this movie in real locations, from the church to the ruins of Nanjing City. It is estimated to be two to three hundred million."

Xu Xinxin said that this investment is really not small.

It is also different from "Golden Armor", the "Golden Armor" is expensive, although it is also expensive in the way of serving.And it is said that the investment is close to 3 million.

But Xu Xin has thought about it for a few years, and the actual cost of this play may not be that much.

At that time, although the total investment was also said by the old man, it was between 2.7 and 3.5 million. ． ． ．But what was the relationship between the two at that time?
Xu Xin is just a fringe figure who has just joined the props team under the Olympic director team.A child with no hair on his mouth.

Good to you, good to you.

But it is impossible to let others completely confide in you without any concealment and secrets.

The investment amount mentioned by the old man is consistent with the investment amount mentioned by Zhang Weiping. Now it seems that it is actually very strange.

Not to mention anything else, from the fact that "Three Guns" was able to be said by Zhang Weiping to invest "more than [-] million yuan", we know that his words are too watery.

Including asking Jay about his salary later, and the cost of the song "Chrysanthemum Terrace", etc., Xu Xin estimated that the filming cost of "Golden Armor" was the most, at [-] million.

06 million in [-].Money is not as hairy as it is now.

It's already at ceiling level.

After all, it doesn’t use many locations, and it’s more expensive than those recyclable gold clothing.But today is different.

The two or three hundred million that the old man is talking about now is real money.After thinking about it, he said:

"Is the Weiping money enough?
You won't be looking for financing again this time, will you?It's like a farm game from "Three Guns". "

Now it was Zhang Yimou's turn not knowing how to answer.

Indeed, what Zhang Weiping meant was not to look for Bell, it would cost too much money.

Anyway, this scene was filmed to highlight the thirteen beauties, a foreign mortician, just randomly find a foreigner that everyone is familiar with to act, and it will be overwhelmed.

It doesn't cost much.

If you invite a third-tier actor in Hollywood, the salary will be 200 million US dollars at most.This is what Zhang Weiping meant.

But Zhang Yimou himself disagreed.

Compared with domestic actors who have a lot of excellent acting skills but are depressed.Hollywood's capital market determines that fame, acting skills and remuneration are in direct proportion.

People with good acting skills and famous names can of course "condescend" to join some low-cost movies, but usually it is for transformation, or because they really like a certain script.

But in most cases, acting skills and pay are directly proportional. After the failure of "Three Guns", "Jinling" was his ambitious work.This time he wants to take full control and not let anyone interfere.

However, his ambitious work will need to spend two to three hundred million yuan this time.Whether the domestic market can support the return of capital is a matter of debate.

Zhang Weiping has always been in a state of resistance to inviting Bell and the Hollywood production team.

If he hadn't been ruthless and insisted on not changing it, this matter might have been denied early on.Therefore, he didn't know how to answer Xu Xin's question for a while.

And how well Xu Xin knew him.

Seeing that the old man didn't answer, and adding his understanding of Zhang Weiping, he thought with his toes, and knew that it must be Zhang Weiping who wanted to spend a small amount of money to do big things
There was a trace of helplessness in my heart.

But this time he didn't say anything like "Why don't I come to invest" or "Why don't you come to my place".As for the reason for not saying it, even Yang Mi might not be able to guess.

He is afraid.

It's not that he's afraid of the old man spending money, nor is he afraid of offending Zhang Weiping.

It was because of the consequences of his impulsiveness that he was afraid of causing trouble to the old man.It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

Zhang Weiping's villainous face, he had already seen it that night.

A person who can poke a cerebral infarction patient's head with his finger.
Anyone who wants to overestimate his bottom line is simply a fantasy.

But now, the old man still holds the biggest handle in the other party's hands.That is the household registration of the three children and Aunt Ting.

If he is too high-profile at this time, he will directly turn against Zhang Weiping. He is not afraid.Don't mention anything else, what's the matter, I just hide behind my father.

Hey, I'm young, I can't beat you, should I go to the head office of my parents?Not ashamed.

Besides, as long as he doesn't break the law and sits upright, no matter how villainous other people are, he won't be afraid.It's a big deal to be disgusted.

But why make others hate yourself?But the old man was different.

If he really pulled the old man over, he would break up with Zhang Weiping.Then the matter between Aunt Ting and the three children would become a "scar" that the old man was most unwilling to uncover.

After the scar was uncovered, he might be able to block everything, but he couldn't block the pain that this scar brought to the mother and child.Yes, the scars are uncovered, and we start to deal with them. The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain.

But the problem is that what Xu Xin is pursuing now is to bring a treatment method for the old man. No one hurts, and the scar can be easily restored to its original state.

Therefore, he will not do anything that may arouse Zhang Weiping's vigilance until the child's household registration, superbirth, Aunt Ting and the old man get their certificates.

Because of the villain's inner bottom line, he really dare not overestimate.If the old man is silent, just be silent.

He turned his mind around, and said the only sentence he could make the old man not so upset:

"It's fine though. If there's any difficulty in investing, or if he wants someone to take the risk
You just ask him to contact me. Forget it, when the movie is finished and I find a chance to meet him, I will also tell him.

If he is short of money, I will borrow it from him.If he wants to share the risk, then at least I have a good relationship with the Pharaoh.Wanda Cinemas must also be very important to him, so I will invest with him. Don’t have any difficulties, I’m here. "

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou couldn't laugh or cry:
"What's the matter with you? I haven't considered you at all. Is there any reason for an adult to ask a child for "New Year's money" when he has no money? ""Hey~"

Xu Xin was delighted:

"You look down on people a bit. New Year's money? If my New Year's money is divided equally, let alone support the children of a prefecture-level city."

"If you really have spare money, if you think you can't spend it all, you should do something good. At a young age, you know that you can put a golden body on yourself, and charity is also a good dress. Not to mention the merits of accumulating blessings for your children and grandchildren~"

"Well"

Hearing this, Xu Xin was stunned and nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, I see."
Guangdong, Chikan.

Inside the set room of Yijin Building, where "The Grandmaster" was filmed.

Yang Mi stepped on cloth shoes with laminated soles, loose exercise pants on her legs, and a cheongsam on her upper body. She looked nondescript and sat in front of the makeup mirror.

There is no makeup on her face, but the hairstylist is helping her braid.And in her arms was the warmth of dozing off.

Compared with his younger brother's high adaptability to the weather in Guangdong, Nuan Nuan is a little uncomfortable. The three months of 3, 4, and 5 are the rainy season in Guangdong.

Chikan is close to the sea, and it has been raining every day for the past few days, making it very humid.It was only one day before Nuan Nuan, and her armpits began to turn red.

It seems to be quite painful, and I couldn't sleep well last night after tossing and turning.Yang Mi did not sleep for long.

She didn't pay much attention to the prickly heat rash on her butt last time, and threw the talcum powder at home after it was used up.At dawn, I hurriedly bought a pack. After applying it on the child, Nuan Nuan stopped crying.

At the moment, I am catching up on sleep in my mother's arms.

Sun Ting, on the other hand, was assembling a mosquito net on a second-hand cradle with a few props.

The reason why she used second-hand ones was because she was afraid that the varnish on the surface of the newly bought cradles might contain formaldehyde.Although you can also buy unpainted cradles, Chikan is too humid here, without the protection of paint, the wood of the cradle will smell if it is damp, and the child may not be able to sleep comfortably.

Cradle, mosquito net, fan are essential.No way, taking care of children is such a hassle.Soon, the twist braid was finished.

Yang Mi looked at herself in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, got up lightly, and carried the baby into the cradle.

After Sun Ting quickly covered the mosquito net tightly, Yang Yang, who was half lying and half sitting in the stroller, pointed at her sleeping sister and babbled, instead of lying down on the side.

"Hush."

Yang Mi raised a finger: "Don't quarrel with sister." "Yeah?"

As if she could really have a conversation with her son, she said to her father after explaining to her baby son to be quiet, "Then I'll go."

"Go, be careful, and be safe." "Yeah."

After answering, Yang Mi opened the door of the dressing room and walked out.Outside is a group of busy people.

The busy scene of these crew members made her feel both familiar and strange.However, she quickly collected her thoughts and walked towards the background of the Golden Building.

Soon I saw several familiar faces.

Liang Chaowei, Zhang Jin, Zhang Zhen, Yuan Heping, Wang Jiawei, Xu Haofeng and others were all there.

Zhang Jin was standing beside Yuan Heping, and Yuan Heping, the top domestic martial arts instructor, was gesturing certain moves to Zhang Jin one by one.

However, the moves are not complete, or there are basically no special moves, it is just a demonstration of how to fight.Today is the day when several leading actors meet.

Everyone came quite early.

It takes a few days to accept martial arts fingering
Guided training.Ye Wen and Gong Er's rivalry.

Ma San singled out a group attack in Guangdong Wulin.

Zhang Zhenhe's script didn't say whether it was the "organization" of the military command or some other department's siege scene.

Everyone has kung fu, but in fact, the traditional Chinese martial arts are not good-looking.Because from the beginning, the purpose of martial arts is not to strengthen the body, and the moves that can be used are also killer moves.

Therefore, the job of a martial arts instructor is to make these moves look better.They are going to be photographed.

Of course, Yuan Heping's ability goes without saying, and he has spent his whole life in movies.

He can almost be said to be a master of the northern martial arts in the way of presentation in movies, how to fight and how to fight well.But in fact, if you really look at it according to the martial arts school and the status in the world, Yuan Heping actually has no status in the martial arts.

This statement may seem absurd at first glance, but in fact, although the Yuan family is a family of martial arts, the Yuan family's martial arts has no school and no foundation.

It can't be compared with a "Guoshu Museum inheritor" like myself who has worshiped his master, and even more incomparable with Zhang Jin's professional martial arts team who has worshiped his master's inheritance.

Of course, these are all hypocrisy.

But if you really want to talk about the root of Miaohong, whether it is Ye Wen who worshiped Ye Wen's disciple Liang Shaohong as his teacher, or Zhang Zhen's teacher Wang Shiquan, everyone has inheritance.

Yuan Heping did not
Doors are sometimes so strange.

Moreover, if we really want to talk about it, Liang Chaowei will call himself Senior Sister.

Because he only worshiped Liang Shaohong as his teacher in 08.And I am in 07.Zhang Zhen wants to call himself "Master Uncle".

Because his teacher Wang Shiquan is a generation shorter than his master Yu Chenghui.Zhang Jin is more special.

If he is brave enough, he can call himself "Junior Sister".

When he was in the martial arts team, he practiced Chen style Taijiquan, and he was taught by Xiao Jiaze, a disciple of Chen Chunsheng, the master of Xiaojia Chen style Taijiquan.But there is no such thing as a teacher in the martial arts team. After graduating from the martial arts team, he worshiped Yuan Heping as his teacher.

Yuan Heping and Yu Chenghui have no seniority.

There is no way, the master is from Shandong Guoshu Museum.The seniority of the masters of the Guoshu Academy back then was too high to be discussed.But to be reasonable, the master's seniority should be the same generation as Yuan Heping's father, Yuan Xiaotian.

But still the same sentence, the Yuan family is not a serious martial arts inheritance.

Whether it's Southern Fist from the North, or Northern Fist to Jiangnan, the affairs of these martial arts figures have nothing to do with the Yuan family.Everyone has their own opinions, but he is brave enough to call himself junior sister.

But in fact, if it really starts to count on the old man's seniority, no one in this circle is necessarily higher than himself.But these are all matters of martial arts.

No need to be that serious.After all, when it comes to talking about it, Mr. Yuan's status is a master at the film festival.Not an actor can compare.

Now Yuan Heping is a martial arts instructor, and everyone is just an actor under the old man's command.

Mr. Yuan is currently taking photos of Zhang Jin and teaching him how to fight the Jinlou scene.And a Tayan kicked back, turned around, just saw Yang Mi walking over, and stopped his movements.

He looked at Yang Mi, and everyone turned their heads in the direction he was looking, and only then did they see Yang Mi walking over. "Honey."

Xu Haofeng was the first to say hello. "Is the child asleep?"

Yang Mi bowed slightly in embarrassment:

"Sorry, everyone has been waiting for a long time. Sorry, sorry~"

A few people don't care.

Those two children are chubby and cute, not to mention they are both old men. If they don't even have time for Bao Ma, then they are a bit too narrow-minded.

And Yuan Heping said:
"Then let's use the tricks of you and TONY first." "Well, okay."

Yang Mi nodded and started to move her joints. "Mimi, do you know Wing Chun?"

Hearing Yuan Heping's words, Yang Mi nodded:
"meeting
I know how to fight, but I haven't practiced it in particular, so I can set the standard for the three-fold hand movement. After she finished speaking, she put her feet together, took a diagonal step, crossed her hands, and put on Xiao Nian's airs.Demonstration of punching, spreading hands, and closing fists from Japanese characters.

Yuan Heping knew at a glance that the other party was not lying.Practice must have been practiced, but it is only superficial.After thinking about it, he said:

"In that case, I have three ideas, one is the most straightforward Bagua Zhang versus Wing Chun, the other is Bagua + Xingyi versus Wing Chun, and the last one is after Bagua versus Wing Chun, the two of you are fighting After more than a dozen rounds, switch between each other, you use Wing Chun, Tony uses Baguazhang to direct, you should watch it first? See which one is suitable?"

Wang Jiawei nodded: "Okay."

Following his words, Yuan Heping waved his hand:
"Stand back, TONY, come on you two. Use normal movements first, fight according to the routine, and remember to hold back." Liang Chaowei nodded with a smile:
"Okay." Yang Mi thought for a while
Three ways to play, right?

Then follow the director's request.Try gossip + form and meaning first.

So, she made a gesture of splitting palms.And Liang Chaowei's counterpart is Xiao Nim Tou.

"Small Nimtou, right? I'm here. The first move is to split palms, solitaire in a dragon shape, and Qinglong's claws."

As soon as she spoke, if there were computer special effects, a big question mark could be seen on Liang Chaowei's head.

what?
But before she figured it out, Yang Mi took a step forward and came to the front.

Her speed is neither fast nor slow, but the speed change between the steps is very strange. It is obvious that the first step is still very slow, but the next moment the speed frequency of the whole person suddenly changes, almost instantaneously accelerating, and teleporting. Like a tiger, he grabbed Liang Chaowei's neck like a tiger.

Liang Chaowei originally started with Xiao Nian Tou, with both fists closed at the side of the chest.Seeing this grab, subconsciously punched out the Japanese character
But as soon as he punched, Yang Mi's palm had already changed its grip and split. "Snapped!"

There was a small movement, and she directly broke the opponent's hand with the palm of her hand, and then followed this force to descend in a dragon shape!

Bend your knees, turn your left foot outwards, and leave the ground. The whole body goes down through the chest, pressing down on the opponent's arm and rushing straight down!
It's like Liang Chaowei's arm was unilaterally dropped a heavy object, and was brought down. The human instinct is to lift the heavy object vigorously.

But when he was about to lift it vigorously, the right hand that was pressing on his arm suddenly pushed to the side.
It is used to build all the foundations of Xingyi Wuxingquan. The so-called "one book can disperse thousands of plants, and ten thousand plants can be returned to one book" is a horizontal fist. Just like the name of the trick, he quickly leaned forward, and with the help of the power of the feet that were originally bent, he twisted at a step like a flower.
The whole person was like a screw rotating in reverse, pulled out on the spot, and the fist of the left hand attacked the jaw of Liang Chaowei who was completely destroyed by Xiao Nian, causing the middle door to open wide.

"clatter."

Liang Chaowei's upper and lower teeth clicked together lightly, making a crisp knocking sound.Not heavy.

Yang Mi pulled back her strength.

The force was as if the two rows of teeth collided once with their own force, and there was a sound.No pain, no itching.

But Liang Chaowei, who hadn't reacted yet, was belatedly aware of it, and smelled the fragrance of shampoo from the other party's body.

The whole place was silent.

How can there be any masters among the "Grandmasters"?

Ye Wen of Wing Chun boxing, just like that, Gong Er didn't even use the best Baguazhang, but just used a simple move in Xingyi boxing. The combined punch of "splitting palms down + dragon-shaped downward posture, followed by Qinglong's probing claws" disintegrated the entire offensive.

This is still power.

If you don't stay focused, this move...

It's enough for the other party to lie on the ground and can't get up.Among all the people who witnessed all this, Zhang Zhen looked blank.

His Bajiquan was also a monk halfway through. Although he won a championship, he knew the composition of that championship.

What's more, he practiced routines, this kind of counter-attack moves, except for the Bajiquan routine with his seniors in normal practice, he had never done it before.

So I can't understand it at all.Wang Jiawei couldn't see clearly.Yuan Heping's eyes were full of surprise.This
Zhang Jin frowned.

so strong
It's not the kind of airs, but the kind that really has a killer move!Her master actually taught her a killer move! ?

If someone dared to teach this in the martial arts team, he would have been expelled long ago!Only Xu Haofeng
Unknowingly, he recalled that in the afternoon after that year, after he was eaten a pot of beef by a young woman who didn't know she was pregnant, he used Baguazhang + Xingyiquan as a human sandbag as if digesting food after a meal fear in hello. oh shit.
How can there be such a terrifying woman in this world!Thinking of this, the thought extended.

He unconsciously thought of another thing.

Marrying such a terrifying wife, Xiao Xu Pingfan, what kind of life is he living?

Accompanied by this thought, the picture of Yang Mi laughing maniacally stepping on Xiao Xu's face, who was bruised and swollen and crying, came to mind.Hey.

Absolutely.
