China Entertainment started from Nortel 96

Qi Wei, who was buried in the mountains, suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Qing sitting on his lap. He took out a silk scarf to wipe the sweat on her forehead and said with a smile:

"Senior Sister Xu, I thought your size would change after losing weight. It seems I underestimated you. You are still so charming."

At this moment, Xu Qing had recovered from her sinking. She glanced at Qi Wei with a charming look, showed her iconic dimple smile, and said: "I just said that I am naturally beautiful. Now that I have checked it out, I can believe it." Bar"

Qi Wei played it dishonestly and said with a smile: "Yes, senior sister, I believe it, you are really my treasure."

"Hehe." The smile on Xu Qing's face became even brighter and more charming. She put her hands on Qi Wei's shoulders and asked, "Then what you promised me?"

Xu Qing once filmed the MV for "If This Is Love" from Qi Wei's second album.

This MV was a story-telling MV that lasted for more than six minutes, and became a huge hit after its release.

Xu Qing suggested to Qi Wei that this MV could be made into a movie.

Spending several million to make a movie was indeed a try, but at that time Qi Wei's company had already formulated a film and television plan and could no longer spare manpower to prepare other film projects, so Qi Wei suggested to Xu Qing that she should become a producer.

Although Xu Qing has never been a producer, she has been in the industry for so many years and is no stranger to producers. With the connections she has accumulated, she can also find people to help, so it is not a problem to form a crew.

When Xu Qing was about to give it a try, Zhang Dabeard came to the door with the crew of "Swordsman".

Xu Qing herself was a person who found it difficult to enjoy herself, and soon she forgot about being a producer.

"I will definitely do what I promised you, but senior sister, you have to tell me the reason why you suddenly changed your mind." Qi Wei gently scratched Xu Qing's chin and asked.

"Well, can't there be no reason?" Xu Qing asked with a smile.

"It's not your style to have no reason."

Seeing Qi Wei shake his head, Xu Qing told the truth.

"I heard that after Yu Feihong and you finished filming "Little Li Fei Dao", she started preparing for her movie. The script has been approved and she is forming her crew."

"You are quite well informed." Qi Wei couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Qing said proudly: "That's right, if you don't know who I am, I also found out that she searched around and no one was willing to invest in her crappy movie."

"It's just you. I can see that she got the investment from you." Xu Qing looked straight at Qi Wei, suddenly laughed, and asked curiously: "Junior brother, I know you are very fond of women. You are generous, but you are also a very shrewd person and rarely make money-losing deals. I am very curious about how she persuaded you on the set of "Little Li Fei Knife"."

"Hehe, just like you said, she sleeps with me."

"It's not easy for you to wear sleeping clothes." Xu Qing shook her head and continued: "Men have two major hobbies: dragging women from good families into seclusion and persuading prostitutes to be good. Women like her who think they are noble are like fairies who do not eat human smoke and fireworks. , let her fall into the mortal world, only then can you satisfy your desires. I remember that on the set of "Little Li Fei Dao", Jiang Qinqin, who played the heroine, was your woman, and there was also a woman you brought back from Wanwan. It seemed that she was Yu Feihong’s student.”

Xu Qing suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she had discovered a new world, covered her mouth and said in disbelief: "Could she be with her students in order to attract investment from you?"

"Uh" It's really a close guess.

Qi Wei did not admit it, but asked: "So, senior sister, you suddenly changed your mind and wanted to be a producer again because of her? Are you still secretly competing with her?"

"Yes, it's because of her that I want to compete with her. I want to be a producer like her, direct and act like her."

Xu Qing looked at Qi Wei and said softly: "You promised me back then that your investment in me would not be less than her movie. You must keep your word."

"Did you know that the budget of her movie was 10 million."

Qi Wei's words made Xu Qing stunned for a moment, and Yu Feihong couldn't help but ask: "How can she spend so much money on her crappy movie, a niche literary movie?"

"If you think about Wong Kar-Wai, think about Jiang Wen, all newcomers who have become monks are like this."

Xu Qing seemed to understand a little bit and asked: "Then you are really willing to give up, so are you willing to give up for me?"

"Of course I am willing to give up. Senior sister, you know that I have always been willing to give up to you. You are the woman I spend the most money on."

Excluding Yan Danchen, Gao Yuanyuan and others, Xu Qing is the woman who Qi Wei has invested the most in.

"Are you blaming me?"

"How come, senior sister, there are some women who are suitable for hiding in a golden house. I am willing to spend money on you. If you are happy, I am happy. Isn't that good? Besides, the money spent on you is just a drop in the bucket to me. .”

Although he has not calculated it carefully, Qi Wei should have spent several million on himself.

"A drop in the bucket." Xu Qing muttered repeatedly, looking at Qi Wei with more and more fascination.

For her, money can be regarded as the best aphrodisiac.

"Since you are so rich, the investment in my movie cannot be spent casually." Xu Qing said.

"I know this, senior sister, the funds for film investment must come from the company. Although I am the one who makes the decision, there are other shareholders who do things in a fair and orderly manner. If you ask me to invest money, at least let me see your project plan. Let’s study, so I can explain something.”

"Project planning document, I haven't finished this yet."

"Well, what about the script? It's been more than a year. Don't you think you don't even have a script?"

"Well these are all minor issues, right."

"I will only consider investing money after I have read your script and your project plan. She is the same way."

"I know." Xu Qing didn't care, and asked with a smile: "Maybe it's because I'm not as good at what she does, and I'm not as bottomless as she is. Should I be a little more bottomless?"

"Huh?" Do you have some misunderstanding?

Xu Qing said doubtfully in Qi Wei's ear: "From now on, I will do whatever you want me to do. As long as you want it, I will help you do it without your permission. Even if you want to put me and Feihong together, I will do it." Can."

"Why, do you still want to compete with her on the same bed?" Qi Wei couldn't help laughing.

"I've always had this idea." Xu Qing, who had recovered somewhat, became active again.

Well, this misunderstanding is quite good.

"Swordsman" was already in production before Qi Wei joined the cast, but it didn't take long, less than a month.

In the script that Qi Wei Fang agreed to review, Qi Wei played Linghu Chong in a total of more than 500 scenes.

With so many scenes, no matter how smoothly the filming goes, it will take at least more than a hundred days.

After resigning from "Young Man Bao Qingtian", Qi Wei did not take on any additional roles, so his schedule was relatively abundant.

It is now early June, and filming will be completed in October. During this period, in July, Qi Wei will be away from the group for almost a month to promote the new album.

The time spent on the set will not exceed four months.   It’s barely enough.

The schedule was very precious, so Zhang Dashu did not give Qi Wei much time to adapt to the crew. Qi Wei began to devote himself to filming the next day.

At this moment, Qi Wei was dressed in coarse cloth and ancient clothes. He had long hair without a crown. Instead, he had a ponytail-like bun on the middle and back of his head, leaving a few strands of slightly curly hair on both sides.

Jin Yong liked "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" produced by Zhang DaHu, so when Zhang DaHu proposed to adapt Jin Yong's novel, Jin Yong readily agreed and only received a symbolic copyright fee of one yuan.

He hopes that Zhang Dabeard can continue the style of "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin".

In "The Swordsman", Zhang Dabeard did indeed do this. The overall style of the play is more realistic, and the same is true for Fu Huadao.

The costumes and makeup are all simple and authentic.

Only a few high-ranking people wear more gorgeous clothes and makeup. The middle and lower classes are all made of coarse linen or other ordinary materials. The lower classes even wear ragged and tattered clothes, which are not as refined as TVB’s costumes.

It can even be said that Zhang Beard pioneered the use of tattered costumes in mainland ancient martial arts TV dramas.

It's realistic, that's it. It's impossible to be like the later generation where a mountain villager wore silk and satin to cut firewood, and a peasant woman swaggered through the market in her mother's clothes. That was really too inconsistent.

What stands out is the taste of Jianghu.

This is Zhang Beard's first martial arts drama in his life. Compared with the martial arts dramas he filmed later, he was obviously more cautious and sophisticated during the production of this drama.

The original novel mainly talks about swordsmanship. In order to express the essence of swordsmanship, the martial arts director Yuan Bin of this drama invited swordsmanship masters from all over the country to join in, and even let Yu Chenghui, known as the "Sword Master", play the role of Feng Qingyang.

Also managed to evolve some other weapons into swords.

The original novel did not emphasize the specific historical stage. In order to unify the costumes, daily utensils and street furnishings of the characters in the play and make the plot appear real and credible, the crew took the Song Dynasty as the time discussed by the "Four Friends of Meizhuang" in the original work, and set the entire story. The drama is based on the history of the Song Dynasty.

Monks and nuns have to shave their heads, and all nuns of the Hengshan sect have their heads shaved. In the play, Yu Canghai comes from Qingyun Mountain in Sichuan. Zhang Dabeard wanted to apply Sichuan's face-changing skills to Yu Canghai, so he hired Peng Denghuai, a master of face-changing in Sichuan opera.

After learning that he was also a martial arts actor, he decided to let Peng Denghuai play the role of Yu Canghai.

They even asked the entire Qingcheng faction to speak Sichuan dialect.

The Qingcheng School's face-changing and Sichuan dialect became a major feature of this drama in later generations, but now it seems a bit nondescript. It can be seen that Zhang Big Beard is still a bit bold despite his rigor.

In "The Swordsman", Zhang Dahuzhi specially customized the costumes and styles for each character according to the character's characteristics and plot.

Qi Wei has taken makeup photos before, but after seeing Qi Wei's style in "Little Li Fei Dao", he has improved it a bit now.

So when Zhang Dabeard saw Qi Wei coming out of the dressing room and getting dressed, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although he was dressed in coarse linen clothes, his handsome face, upright posture, and demeanor carried the freedom and ease of a knight in the world.

Is it because he has studied the role and done enough homework, or is it because he acted in "Little Li's Flying Knife"? Or is it both?

Although the characters of Li Xunhuan and Linghu Chong are very different, they have the same free and easy spirit as the knights in the arena.

But no matter what, Zhang Dabeard had to admit that Qi Wei was Linghu Chong with the best image and temperament in his mind.

Before coming into contact with Qi Wei, Zhang Dabeard had come into contact with several popular actors.

Take Huang Lei for example. Zhang Dabeard disliked him for being too elegant and delicate. I don't know if it was because of the dislike that he went to play Lu Bu on the set of Director Chen's "Lu Bu and Diao Chan".

Zhang Dabeard has seen his makeup photos of Lu Bu, and he looks really wild with a nose ring.

There is also Hu Jun, who looks too rough and heroic, but he is good as Qiao Feng. As for Li Yapeng, he looks dull, and he can barely play the wise and foolish Guo Jing.

As for the others, Shao Bing and Zhou Jie are quite different in appearance.

"Sure enough, Qi Wei is the most suitable." Zhang Dabeard nodded with deep understanding.

Jin Yong's martial arts drama can only be played brilliantly if the protagonist is chosen to fit the role and the minor flaws in the supporting characters can be ignored.

The most typical one is Louis Koo’s Yang Guo.

The same is true for "The Swordsman".

At least until now, Zhang Dabeard is still very satisfied with Qi Wei.

"Let's just have a casual scene today to get a feel for it. What do you think?" Zhang Bearded said to Qi Wei in a consultative tone.

"No problem, I'm ready." Qi Wei replied confidently.

Zhang Bearded nodded and said to Qi Wei: "Although you are not a professional martial arts actor, our drama is a martial arts drama after all. Although it can be improved, it is best for you to know some routine martial arts moves. This way It will look better when photographed.”

"That's true."

"So I asked Teacher Yu Chenghui, who plays Feng Qingyang, to call you. Feng Qingyang teaches Linghu Chong in and out of the play, which is a good story."

As soon as Zhang Bearded finished speaking, he saw Qi Wei playing swordsmanship.

"Producer Zhang, how was it?" Qi Wei asked after finishing playing.

"It's pretty good. When did you learn it?" Zhang Bearded said in surprise.

"I learned it on the set of "Little Li Fei Knife". Not only did I learn how to use swords and flowers, but I also learned a set of fists and kicks."

"I remember Li Xunhuan didn't throw the knife?" As he said this, Zhang Dabeard showed off the throwing knife action of Li Xunhuan played by Qi Wei in the trailer of "Little Li Flying Knife".

In Zhang Dabeard's view, Li Xunhuan could just throw the throwing knife to look cool, there was no need to practice these martial arts moves.

"Isn't this preparation for this drama?"

Zhang Dabeard nodded and said: "There is also a scene of Linghu Chong riding a horse in the play. This also requires training. You didn't tell me that you can ride a horse."

"Oh, I really know how to do it. When I was filming "My Father and Mother", I learned to ride horses on the grassland to pass the time."

Hmm. Spending time on horseback with Zhang Ziyi.

There were horses in the crew, and later Zhang Dabeard saw Qi Wei galloping on horseback, showing his skill.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Dabeard's impression of Qi Wei became even better.

You really found the right person. (End of chapter)
