I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 161 I have never fought such a rich battle before
"Director Wan, you are finally here!"

After landing in Shanghai, Wan Qingshan was picked up by the crew of "Ip Man" and went to the hotel where the crew of "Ip Man" stayed. He met Jiang Zhiqiang in the lobby.

Wan Qingshan frowned slightly, shook Jiang Zhiqiang's extended hand, and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are also an investor in "City of Golden Armor". You should know that Director Zhang's side only ended two days ago!"

Jiang Zhiqiang rolled his eyes in his heart, "The Golden Armor" has just been filmed, but your Wan Qingshan movie has been completed long ago. If you hadn't stayed away to learn from Zhang Yi, "Ip Man" Shooting has already started.

"Haha, Director Wan, I also know that you are not procrastinating, so I am also sighing.

Director Wan, you don’t know that in order to facilitate your shooting, I spent a lot of money to build Ip Man’s mansion, a cotton factory, and Wuguan Street.

Also, I asked the crew and actors to come over the day before yesterday. Everything is ready and just waiting for you.

Therefore, I am looking forward to seeing you Wan Dao! "

A surprised expression flashed across Wan Qingshan's face. In order to praise Zhang Jin, Jiang Zhiqiang was really willing to spend money to set up all the shooting scenes.

But Jiang Zhiqiang seems to be a little too hasty!The actor came over the day before yesterday.At that time, "A City Full of Golden Armor" had just ended!
"Mr. Jiang, I know you are anxious, so I rushed over as soon as Director Zhang's crew came out."

Wan Qingshan originally wanted to rest for two days, but when the filming of "The City of Golden Armor" was about to end, Jiang Zhiqiang called him a few times and asked him to finish over and come over to join the crew of "Ip Man".

As a result, Wan Qingshan could only hurriedly deal with the matter of opening a studio with Zeng Li and opening a company with Zhang Zhao, and then rushed over immediately.

"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Director Wan."

After Jiang Zhiqiang made a casual remark, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, Director Wan, what do you think of holding a launch conference the day after tomorrow?"

Wan Qingshan raised his eyebrows. He had just arrived. The crew didn't know what was going on, so they just held a launch conference!

Wan Qingshan was about to speak out. How about not waiting for two more days to let him get familiar with the situation of the crew?

But then it suddenly occurred to me that he didn't invest in "Ip Man". He was just a director now and was only responsible for filming. It was better to listen to Jiang Zhiqiang for the rest.

So, Wan Qingshan changed his words and said, "Mr. Jiang, I have no problem, everything will follow your arrangements!"

The smile on Jiang Zhiqiang's face grew wider. He was now afraid of Wan Qingshan's delay.

When the script of "City of Golden Armor" was revised, he knew that Wan Qingshan would definitely stay on the crew until the end of filming in order to learn from Zhang Yimou.

At that time, he didn't have any objections. It would be okay to film "Ip Man" later. He was not in a hurry about "Ip Man".

He wasn't in a hurry at first, but now he is very anxious, very anxious!
Half a month ago, Jiang Zhiqiang was very happy when he learned that "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" had grossed more than 700 million US dollars at the box office within one week of its release in the United States.

But after he was happy, he became anxious. "Loyal Liver, Righteous and Brave" was released too soon!

And "Ip Man" hasn't been filmed yet. By the time "Ip Man" is finished filming, the popularity of "Loyalty and Righteousness" will definitely be gone.

His initial plan was that after the filming of "Ip Man" was completed, it would be released simultaneously in the mainland and Hong Kong Island, and then in Japan and South Korea.

As for North America and Europe, he is not in a hurry to release it. He will wait for "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" to be released in North America and Europe and then make a decision based on the box office results.

If "Loyal Liver, Righteous and Brave" does well at the box office in North America and Europe, then take advantage of the popularity to find connections to arrange for its release. If it doesn't, then wait half a year or a year before releasing it.

However, 21st Century Fox actually did not follow common sense. It had only been a few months since it bought the copyright of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave" and it actually arranged to release it. As a result, all Jiang Zhiqiang's plans came to nothing.

Jiang Zhiqiang has cooperated with Hollywood film companies for many years and knows the arrangements for Chinese-language films after the Hollywood film companies bought the rights to Chinese-language films.

If part of the film's funding comes from the company, and the company has bought the copyright, like "Kung Fu" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it will naturally be slightly tilted and arranged to be released as soon as possible.

But dubbing, plus waiting for schedules, publicity and distribution, a set of processes, especially when waiting for schedules takes a long time, the release date is almost half a year later.

If the movie does not have its own company to invest, then just wait. Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu Football" and Zhang Yimou's "Hero" just waited for almost two years before they were released.

After "Hero" became a success in North America, the media reported that it was suppressed by Hollywood film companies. In fact, that is normal.

Hollywood shoots so many movies every year, plus they invest in movies from other countries. Chinese-language movies that are not invested by their own company will of course have to be put in the back row. Only when the company has no movies released will they think of the Chinese-language movies in the corner.

So after knowing that "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" was a hit in the United States, Jiang Zhiqiang immediately accelerated the preliminary preparations for "Ip Man". If he couldn't find the scene for a while, he would build it. He was not afraid of spending money, so he just had to-quickly!

A week ago, the news that "Loyal Liver, Righteous and Brave" was released in the United States for two weeks and earned US$800 million at the box office spread back to China.

At the same time, Jiang Zhiqiang also received news that 21st Century Fox will immediately arrange for "Loyal Liver and Brave" to be released in other regions of North America and Europe.

Now, Jiang Zhiqiang was even more anxious. If it hadn't been for the filming of "The Golden Armor" which was about to be finished, he would have personally gone to the set and asked Wan Qingshan to come out and shoot "Ip Man" immediately.

"Ip Man" can't be filmed immediately, but Jiang Zhiqiang doesn't have to wait in agony.

He contacted Columbia Pictures in Hollywood and gave part of the investment in "Ip Man" to Columbia Pictures.

He knew that with his connections, after the filming of "Ip Man" was completed, the release time of "Ip Man" in the United States would be scheduled for three months at most, and it would not be released immediately.

It can't be released immediately in the United States, let alone other parts of North America and Europe. The only way is to bring in Columbia Pictures.

"Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" was a hit not only in the United States, but also in Mainland China, Japan and South Korea.

The box office prospects of "Ip Man" should be very attractive to Columbia Pictures.Coupled with his lobbying based on his personal connections, "Ip Man" should be released in North America and Europe immediately after filming is completed!
"Director Wan, you've been tired from traveling, so you should rest first. I'll make arrangements for the launch conference the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, you are busy!"

Afterwards, Jiang Zhiqiang immediately went to prepare for the launch conference, and Wan Qingshan walked towards the elevator under the leadership of the staff!

As soon as the elevator stopped on the fifth floor, Wan Qingshan and Duan Tong followed the crew out of the elevator. After taking just two steps, they saw Fan Bayi walking out of the corner.

Fan Bayi, who originally looked worried, suddenly froze when he saw Wanqing Mountain.

Then, she twisted her waist and walked towards Wanqing Mountain, smiling brightly and saying, "Director Wan!"

"Miss Fan!"

Wan Qingshan responded, looking up and down Fan Bayi!
Wearing a long skirt with suspenders and a waist, Fan Bayi exposed a section of her calves and white arms. Coupled with the twisting steps of women in modern society and her charming face, she was full of temptation!
But Wan Qingshan looked at it for a few times and then withdrew his gaze. Because of the long skirt, he couldn't tell whether Fan Bayi had lost weight!

"Have you lost weight? How much weight have you lost?"

The crew's eyes suddenly brightened, and their eyes secretly turned back and forth on Fan Bayi and Wan Qingshan, their faces full of curiosity about the gossip.

Fan Bayi, who had just walked over, looked stiff, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. Then, she smiled and said,
"Director Wan, some time ago, I learned walking posture from the teacher, and there were several business activities in the middle. I was too busy and didn't have time to lose weight. So, I didn't lose much, just one pound. .”

Just after finishing speaking, Fan Bayi suddenly thought of rumors in the industry that Wan Qingshan was very strict when filming. When filming "The True Meaning of Love", Wan Qingshan almost deleted Gao Yuanyuan's special scenes because Gao Yuanyuan's expression was not in place. .

Fan Bayi's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly promised, "Director Wan, don't worry, I've been working hard to lose weight recently, so the filming won't be delayed!"

Wan Qingshan had frowned slightly when Fan Bayi explained before, but now he frowned even more when he heard Fan Bayi say this.

"The filming will begin in a few days. How can you lose weight in such a short time? Let's do this. I will discuss with Mr. Jiang later and put your scene in the back.

If you haven't lost weight yet when it's time to film your scene, then I won't care! "

Fan Bayi breathed a sigh of relief, and the staff there had a look of disappointment on their faces.

"Don't worry, Director Wan, I will definitely lose weight later!"

Wan Qingshan nodded slightly, "Okay, I won't tell you any more, I'm going back to my room first."

"Director Wan, walk slowly!" Fan Bayi said with a smile.

After returning to the room and packing up their things, the crew gave Wan Qingshan the script of "Ip Man".

The changes to the script of "Ip Man" were almost entirely based on the suggestions given by Wan Qingshan.

Compared with the original script, the new script has fewer insignificant scenes, two more fight scenes, and one more character - Ma Hong!
In the middle section, after the island country soldiers occupied Foshan, the story of the miserable life of Ip Man and his wife Zhang Yongcheng was much less.

There is also a lack of the previous plot describing the life of Ip Man and his wife.

Two additional fight scenes were added, one at the front. After Ip Man and Jin Shan came to compete, a few days later, Ma Hong, a master of the Monkey King's Cloak Boxing, came to the door and competed with Ip Man. They fought for dozens of times. Zhao was defeated in the end!
Another added fight scene is at the end.

After the island nation occupied Foshan, Ma Hong defected to the island nation and became a lackey!

In the ring, Ip Man first defeated Ma Hong, and then fought with the island country's general - Miura!

， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ， ，

At around eight o'clock in the evening, when Wan Qingshan was reading the script in his room, Jiang Zhiqiang knocked on the door.

"Director Wan, there will be a press conference the day after tomorrow. You and many people on the crew don't know each other. So I called people to the conference room and let everyone get to know each other. When shooting later, everyone will work more smoothly."

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and went to meet the crew at night. Even if you Jiang Zhiqiang is anxious, you are not in such a hurry!

Although he was surprised, Wan Qingshan still agreed. He had nothing to do anyway, so he could just get to know the crew.

"Mr. Jiang, you should think carefully!"

Wan Qingshan complimented him casually and followed Jiang Zhiqiang to the conference room.

When Wan Qingshan and Jiang Zhiqiang entered the conference room, there were already more than a dozen people in the conference room.

Wan Qingshan glanced around and saw that in addition to some well-known behind-the-scenes staff, there were also a group of familiar faces from Hong Kong actors.

Suddenly, when his eyes glanced at a person, Wan Qingshan paused for a moment, and his heart was filled with surprise.

When Jiang Zhiqiang and Wan Qingshan walked in, everyone stood up.

Then Jiang Zhiqiang took a quick step, patted Hong Jinbao on the shoulder next to him, and said with a smile,
"Director Wan, Hong Jinbao, the big brother in the Hong Kong film and television industry, I invited him to be the martial arts instructor for the "Ip Man" crew."

Then Jiang Zhiqiang turned slightly, looked back and forth between the two of them, and said with a smile, "You two, I think even though you haven't met each other, you must know each other!"

"Haha, Director Wan, who doesn't know?

Director Wan, I went to see your "The True Meaning of Love" and "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" when they were released on Hong Kong Island.

Both movies are very exciting. I made such wonderful movies! "

Hong Jinbao has a fierce look on his face. Even if he has a smile on his face, it looks like he is smiling evilly!

"Director Hong, my achievements are nothing compared to yours. Decades ago, you were famous throughout Southeast Asia!"

After Wan Qingshan and Hong Jinbao complimented each other, Jiang Zhiqiang introduced other people to Wan Qingshan.

"This is Zhang Shuping, a very famous art director in the international film industry. He was the art director of Wang Jiawei's "Days of Being Wild" and "Chungking Express". I invited him to be the art director of "Ip Man" guide!"

"Hello, Director Wan!"

Looking at Zhang Shuping, who has a slightly rounded figure, Wan Qingshan responded, "Hello!" 'At the same time, I was also sighing in my heart that Jiang Zhiqiang really worked hard for "Ip Man"!

"Director Wan, this Kang Xiaotian is responsible for the lighting of "Ip Man". He was responsible for the lighting of "Farewell My Concubine" and "Sunny Days". He has also collaborated with Director Zhang on several films before."

"Hello, Director Wan!"

"Hello there!"

While Wan Qingshan responded politely, Li Youbin's emoticon could not help but appear in his heart, 'I have never fought such a wealthy battle! '

At the same time, Wan Qingshan also had an idea in his mind, whether he should let Li Yancheng bring his group of people and learn from these people!
However, as soon as this idea came up, Wan Qingshan dismissed it.Yan Dong was able to study with Zhao Xiaoding because he had a brotherhood with him at the same school.

These people have nothing to do with each other, and they don’t know how to teach!

At this time, Wan Qingshan saw Jiang Zhiqiang patting Kang Xiaotian's shoulders again with a tough look, and said with a smile on his face,

"Master Kang, I stole it from Jiang Wen. In the past two years, the time limit for prohibiting Jiang Wen from directing had passed.

In the past few years, Jiang Wen has been thinking about his new movie. Finally, he had an idea for the new movie. When he was about to prepare the crew and contacted Master Kang to give him the lighting, I took the next step and pulled Master Kang away. Here comes the crew of "Ip Man".

For the sake of Master Kang, Jiang Wen called me specifically, lowering his profile and hoping that I would let him go, haha! "

Wan Qingshan smiled in surprise, Jiang Wen, a person with such a proud temperament, could actually lower his profile for Kang Xiaotian!
"Director Wan, Bao Dexi, you must know that I invited you to be the photographer of "Ip Man"!"

Wan Qingshan looked at the bald man with a white beard and quickly replied,

"Of course I do. Who in the film and television industry doesn't know photographer Bao Dexi, the first Chinese photographer to win the Academy Award for Best Cinematography!"

"Director Wan, you are overly praised. I won the award because of Director Ang Lee. He made "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" so well that I won the award!" Bao Dexi replied very modestly.

"Director Wan, this is the screenwriter of "Ip Man", Huang Ziheng, a well-known young talent in the Hong Kong film and television industry. He adapted the upcoming "Dragon Tiger Gate".

At the beginning, I thought that most of the people who watch movies now are young people, and those who understand what young people like are young people, so I specifically asked him to write a script for me.Unexpectedly, within two months, he would come up with the script for "Ip Man". "

Wan Qingshan looked at Huang Ziheng, who had a hairstyle like Chen Haonan and a face that looked a bit like Jaycee Chan, and said with a smile, "Hello!"

"Hello, Director Wan."

Wan Qingshan thought that everything would be fine after this greeting, and Jiang Zhiqiang thought so too. He was about to introduce others to Wan Qingshan, but unexpectedly, Huang Ziheng suddenly continued.

"Director Wan, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my dad. When my dad made "Ghost Horse Love", it was based on your "The True Meaning of Love", but I didn't tell you in advance. I'm really sorry."

The faint smile that had been hanging on Wan Qingshan's face froze for a moment, and then he smiled and said,

"It's okay, it's normal to borrow from movies!"

Jiang Zhiqiang, whose face turned blue, looked closely at Huang Ziheng, his eyes full of anger!

He had never paid attention to any movies Huang Baiming had made, and he didn't expect such a thing.

If I had known that Huang Baiming had borrowed from Wan Qingshan's movies, I shouldn't have let Huang Ziheng join the team.

Anyway, Wan Qingshan is here, and with Wan Qingshan's screenwriting ability, if there are some mistakes in the middle crew that need to be corrected, he can fix them immediately.

It is said to be a reference, but Jiang Zhiqiang understands that it is plagiarism.

In the past, the film and television circles in Hong Kong often copied each other. When the older generation of filmmakers saw which movie was a hit, they would copy it and make money.

Jiang Zhiqiang was angry, not to avenge Wan Qingshan, but because he was worried that something would happen to Wan Qingshan and the crew would not be able to film!

Now Wan Qingshan says it's nothing, but Jiang Zhiqiang knows very well that Wan Qingshan is the only one who takes advantage of others, and if others take advantage of him, he will always find opportunities to get it back!

But Jiang Zhiqiang knows that getting angry will not help, and even getting angry will make things impossible to deal with.He suppressed his anger, looked away from Huang Ziheng, and thought in his heart, "I hope nothing will happen!"

"Director Wan, thank you for your understanding. I have also advised my dad before that when borrowing from movies, you have to say it in advance.

But maybe it was because of the film and television environment my dad was in back then, where everyone learned from each other and understood each other, so he thought it was nothing and didn’t tell you in advance. " Huang Ziheng, who didn't know whether it was sincere or fake, said to Wan Qingshan with an apologetic look.

"It's nothing, I can understand." Wan Qingshan replied with a smile.

As soon as Wan Qingshan finished speaking, Jiang Zhiqiang interrupted.

"Okay, okay, it's all over. Don't talk anymore. Director Wan, come here, let me introduce the others to you!"

Jiang Zhiqiang was afraid that Huang Ziheng would continue to apologize, which would make Wan Qingshan even more angry!

Wan Qingshan, humph, if you don't give him any benefits, it's impossible for him to forgive you with just two words of apology.

In addition, Wan Qingshan was suspicious, so you apologized again and again in front of everyone.Maybe, he will feel that you are forcing him to stop even if he doesn't forgive you!
"Director Wan, this is Qian Xiaohao. You must know that his and Lin Zuoying's zombie movie was very popular in the mainland CD market.

He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and I asked him to play the role of Ma Hong.For this reason, the script was also changed for him.

Originally, Ma Hong's background was positioned as a master of Bajiquan, but knowing that he had practiced Monkey King's Cloaking Boxing since he was a child, I let Huang,"

Jiang Zhiqiang was stuck for a moment before continuing, "The screenwriter changed the script and changed Ma Hong's background to a master of the Monkey King's Cloaking Fist!"

"Hello, Director Wan!"

"Hello there!"

Looking at Qian Xiaohao with a little beard, Wan Qingshan felt very pity.

A popular kung fu star back then, Zhou Runfa acted as his voice in "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley".

Even though he became less popular later on, in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", as the supporting role of Dong Tianbao, he was able to overtake the protagonist Li Lianjie in the limelight.

He has to have acting skills and skills, but it's a pity that the secret filming incident caused him to sink instantly.

In the next dozen years of his original life, except for one "Zombie", he could only rest on his laurels, making zombie movies and spinning around in online movies.

As for the candid filming incident, it is very likely that he was framed by someone else.When he was so popular, there would be no shortage of women.

What's more, so many Hong Kong celebrities have caused bigger troubles than him, but nothing happened at all. As for him, he sank instantly.

After all, it was because he offended some tycoon in the industry that no one in the Hong Kong film and television industry dared to support him, so he could only play small supporting roles.

This is even more pity!

Before Wan Qingshan could continue to regret it, Jiang Zhiqiang introduced other people to Wan Qingshan.

'Director Wan, this is He Zhenhua, I asked him to be the assistant director of "Ip Man". This is Simon Yam, playing Zhou Qingquan.This is Shi Xingyu, who plays Wu Chi Lin, and this is Chen Zhihui, who plays Master Liao,,,'

When there were only three actors left, before Jiang Zhiqiang could introduce him, one of them shouted respectfully, "Director Wan, my name is Huang Xiaoming, and I play Sha Dan Yuan in "Ip Man"!"

"Uh, hello!"

Wan Qingshan had been surprised when he met Huang Xiaoming before, but now after hearing Huang Xiaoming say that he played Sha Dan Yuan, the surprise that had disappeared before returned and became even stronger!

Before, Wan Qingshan was surprised why Huang Xiaoming appeared here, but after thinking about it later, it was considered normal.

Huang Xiaoming has not joined Huayi yet!The agency he is currently signing with is the company of Edison Chen's father, Chen Zemin.

Although Chen Zemin was furious because of Huang Xiaoming's private appearance in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" before, he no longer praised Huang Xiaoming.

But in the past few years, Chen Zemin strongly supported Huang Xiaoming and led him to meet many big bosses in the Hong Kong film and television industry!

Huang Xiaoming, if nothing else, is really good at dealing with people. In his original life, he has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and no one seems to have said that he is difficult to get along with, not even such gossip.

Huang Xiaoming is very good at dealing with people. He has a good relationship with these big bosses in the Hong Kong film and television industry, and he even recognized Mr. and Mrs. Xiang Huaqiang as his godfather and godmother.

Now that Chen Zemin no longer praises him, he can still hang out in the Hong Kong film and television industry by relying on these connections.

In his original life, Huang Xiaoming always had a lot of resources in the Hong Kong film and television industry, relying on the connections he made in the past few years.In addition, he also developed well at that time. With these big bosses in Hong Kong, you help me and I help you, which made him very popular in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

With the connections that Huang Xiaoming has made in the Hong Kong film and television industry, it is not too unusual to be cast in "Ip Man"!
Now, Wan Qingshan is very surprised because Huang Xiaoming actually starred in Sha Dan Yuan!
The character of Sha Danyuan is, at best, a supporting role; at worst, he is just a supporting role!

Although "The Banquet" starring Huang Xiaoming has not yet been released, his previous TV series "The Emperor" also became a hit.

In addition, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring him and Liu Yifei only premiered a few months ago, and the ratings are not low!

He is now considered a well-known young actor, and coupled with his relationship with the Hong Kong film and television industry, how could he come to play a minor role!

At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang looked at Huang Xiaoming, and then said to Wan Qingshan,
"Director Wan, Huang Xiaoming introduced himself, so I won't introduce them to you. As for the other two, Director Wan, you are more familiar with them than me!"

As soon as Jiang Zhiqiang finished speaking, Zhang Jin and Fan Bayi shouted respectfully,
"Wan Dao!"

"Wan Dao!"

Wan Qingshan was not so polite to Zhang Jin and Fan Bayi. He smiled and said, "Okay, we don't have to be so polite with each other anymore!"

After finishing speaking, Wan Qingshan looked at Fan Bayi who was smiling, and then turned his eyes slightly to look at Hong Jinbao over there!
A few years ago, there was gossip news that when Fan Bayi went to Hong Kong Island to develop, in order to develop, she took refuge in Hong Jinbao.

There was even a small news website two years ago that published a piece of news in the tone of an insider breaking the news, saying that Fan Bayi suffered a big loss by taking refuge with Hong Jinbao!
Fan Baiyi did not expect that Hung Jin-bao had a high status in the Hong Kong film and television industry, but he could not provide many resources.

It is said that since the decline of Hong Kong's film and television industry, Hung Jin-bao has seldom used money to invest in movies, and almost no longer works as a director or film. He only makes money every year by acting and working as a martial arts instructor.

If he doesn't use money to shoot movies, he, Hong Jinbao, will have no resources. Even if he has a high status, it will be useless.

The resources in the Hong Kong film and television industry cannot be obtained by relying on connections and status. The resources in the Hong Kong film and television industry are all exchanged.

Hung Jin-bao has no resources to give to other film and television companies and cannot make money for them, so the most they can do is give some garbage resources because of Hung Jin-bao's status as the eldest brother of Hong Kong film and television companies.

Some garbage resources caused Fan Baiyi's development in the Hong Kong film and television industry to be in a mess. In the end, he had to go back to the mainland to develop. He relied on Feng Xiaogang's movie "Mobile Phone" to become popular.

Thinking of this news, Wan Qingshan felt a little strange. If this news was true, with such a complicated relationship between the two of them, there wouldn't be anything unusual when they met!

She surrendered her life to Bayi and didn't get any resources, so she couldn't bear to hate Hong Jinbao!
But now, Wan Qingshan saw that there was nothing unusual about the two of them. When Fan Bayi glanced at Hong Jinbao before, there was no trace of hatred in his eyes.

"Now that we all know each other, look, why don't we discuss the script together while everyone is here.

Simon Yam, you actors, talk about your understanding of your respective roles, and Zhang Shuping, you guys behind the scenes, also talk about your views on the script. "

At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang's words made everyone's faces flash with surprise.

Jiang Zhiqiang asked everyone to come to the conference room before, and he said the same thing as Wan Qingshan, saying that if they got to know each other first, the filming would go much smoother.

But now Jiang Zhiqiang is talking about discussing the script. This is too anxious. It's not like we will start shooting tomorrow. Discussing the script late at night will not delay our rest!
When Jiang Zhiqiang saw that everyone was silent, he looked at Qingshan and was about to speak.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that anyone could be the leader, but Wan Qingshan couldn't be the leader.

No matter who agrees to him first, as long as someone takes the initiative and adds his face, the others will have to agree.

But even if you agree, you will always feel unhappy in your heart.He also knows that no one likes to discuss scripts late at night.

So we can't let Wan Qingshan say this. When "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" was promoted on Hong Kong Island, Wan Qingshan's troubles had already made many Hong Kong artists dissatisfied with him.

Among the Hong Kong artists in the crew, there must be some who are dissatisfied with Wan Qingshan because of what happened back then.

If they are even more dissatisfied with Wanqingshan, they might make some small moves during subsequent filming.

Wan Qingshan is not the kind of person to give in. There is no doubt that there will be disagreements between mainland artists and Hong Kong artists.

So, Jiang Zhiqiang immediately changed his eyes and turned to Simon Yam!
"Simon Yam, are you fine next? Can I waste a little time on you and discuss the script together!"

Simon Yam was at a loss. Although he is an old actor and has senior qualifications.

But he shouldn't be allowed to say this. He is just an actor in the crew, and he only plays a supporting role.

Wan Qingshan should be the one to take the lead. Even if Wan Qingshan is not suitable, it should be Hong Jinbao and the others. Why let him say it? Doesn't this make him offend others!

Ren Dahua didn't want to speak, but Jiang Zhiqiang kept staring at him. He could only reluctantly reply with a smile on his face, "It's my problem, Jiang Sheng!"

Suddenly, Jiang Zhiqiang was all smiles!
"Simon Yam is fine, what about you?"

"What's the problem, Jiang Sheng!"

"No problem, Mr. Jiang, discussing the role in the script is what an actor should do!"

,,,,,,
After everyone responded in confusion, Jiang Zhiqiang asked the hotel waiter to bring tea fruits to everyone, and while eating, he talked about the script.

Listening to everyone taking turns to express their understanding of their respective roles, as well as Zhang Shuping and other people's thoughts on the camera, Wan Qingshan, who was eating fruit, had a very absurd feeling in his heart!
What makes Wan Qingshan feel ridiculous is not that these people said anything wrong.

In his opinion, people like Simon Yam had the right understanding of the character, and people like Zhang Shuping had the right idea of ​​the picture.

What really makes Wan Qingshan feel ridiculous is that Jiang Zhiqiang actually asked everyone to discuss "Ip Man" here!
"Ip Man" is a commercial action film, so the shots only need to be non-obtrusive. If it is made in a stylish way, it will be very abrupt and make the audience feel strange.

As for the actors, not to mention, except for the character of Ma Hong, which can be explored in depth, all the other characters are just facial makeup and cannot be explored even if you want to.

Wan Qingshan really couldn't think of anything worth discussing in "Ip Man". If he really wanted to make "Ip Man" more exciting, he should have allowed Hung Jin-po, Zhang Jin and Qian Xiaohao to discuss martial arts moves.

"Ip Man" focuses on overseas box office, and its selling point is action. Making the action scenes exciting is the key.

After Wan Qingshan swallowed the orange in his mouth, he glanced at Jiang Zhiqiang and murmured in his heart,

"He understands the film industry very well, otherwise he would not be able to control Anle Pictures, but he definitely does not understand the film itself, otherwise he would not be able to see that "Ip Man" has nothing to discuss at all!"

At this time, after Huang Xiaoming finished explaining his understanding of the character Sha Danyuan, Jiang Zhiqiang looked at Wan Qingshan and said,

"Director Wan, what do you think?"

"Well, I understand very well, I don't have any opinion!"

Jiang Zhiqiang's complexion suddenly changed, his face turned blue, and his face twitched slightly.

Everyone took turns talking for half an hour just now, but Wan Qingshan didn't have a word of opinion and only focused on eating.

Jiang Zhiqiang had noticed before that Wan Qingshan was a little indifferent.

Therefore, every time Qian Xiaohao and the others finished speaking, Jiang Zhiqiang would ask Wan Qingshan for his opinion, just to let Wan Qingshan express his opinion.

But Wan Qingshan always said, "He understands the same as I do." ''Master Bao said exactly what I thought! '

He has been putting up with Wan Qingshan, but Wan Qingshan has been like this every time, and this time he really can't bear it anymore.

"Director Wan, I gave you a director's fee of 500 million, shouldn't you be more responsible?" Jiang Zhiqiang said with a gloomy face.

Suddenly, expressions of surprise appeared on everyone’s faces!
Why did Jiang Zhiqiang suddenly get angry at Wan Qingshan? Wan Qingshan was so irresponsible just now that made Jiang Zhiqiang so angry!

Also, 500 million!

The sky-high director’s fee!

The only one in the industry!If this spreads out, everyone in the circle will be shocked!
Zhang Yimou's directorial fee was less than 3000 million, but Wan Qingshan dared to take 500 million!

Wan Qingshan really dares to take it!Jiang Zhiqiang is really willing to give!
Jiang Zhiqiang suddenly lost his temper. Wan Qingshan was surprised, but on the surface he still looked calm and broke off an orange segment and put it into his mouth. Then, while eating, he said,
"Mr. Jiang, you must think that I am not responsible enough and that I am not worth 500 million.

Then I don't have to be the director of "Ip Man", and I can refund you half of the director's fee you paid me in the early stage! "

After eating two more oranges, Wan Qingshan saw that Jiang Zhiqiang didn't speak and just stared at him closely. Wan Qingshan thought for a moment and said in a slow tone,
"Mr. Jiang, you are the boss of a film and television company and you know how to run the film industry, but I think you definitely don't understand the film itself.

"Ip Man" is just a commercial film, the picture is normal and the acting is very simple, so there is no need for too much discussion at all.

Most of the actors and behind-the-scenes staff are my seniors and have rich experience. All I need to do is discuss it with them for a word or two before filming starts.

Mr. Jiang, I also understand that you are also worried about the movie. When you see that all my answers are in agreement, you feel that I am irresponsible.

But Mr. Jiang, why don’t you think about it, maybe I really agree in my heart! "

As soon as Wan Qingshan finished speaking, Jiang Zhiqiang, who looked much better, asked,
"Director Wan, of course I know they are experienced, otherwise I wouldn't invite them to join the "Ip Man" crew, but do you really have no different opinions?"

Jiang Zhiqiang found it hard to believe that Wan Qingshan had no objection. In his opinion, Wan Qingshan's two consecutive movies were box office hits. In addition to Wan Qingshan's understanding of the audience's psychology, Wan Qingshan must have a different understanding of movies than ordinary people.

Wan Qingshan was wondering why Jiang Zhiqiang suddenly became angry. Jiang Zhiqiang thought too highly of him!

"Mr. Jiang! I'm just an ordinary director, and "Ip Man" is a commercial action movie with characters based on facial expressions. Even if I want to have an opinion, I can't find one!"

Seeing Wan Qingshan's helpless expression, Jiang Zhiqiang became a little convinced.

Then, he said with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, Director Wan, I was confused just now, please forgive me!"

"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Jiang, it's all for the movie!"

Seeing that Wan Qingshan and Jiang Zhiqiang were getting along again, Zhang Jin and Fan Bayi breathed a sigh of relief. If Wan Qingshan and Jiang Zhiqiang had a falling out, they would be the ones who would suffer the most.

As for the rest of the people, a trace of disappointment flashed in their eyes. In their opinion, it would be better to have a falling out, and it would be better to cause the crew to disband.

Some of them don't want to be on this crew because of what Jiang Zhiqiang did.

There are also those who don’t want to cooperate with Wan Qingshan, but they have to come because of Jiang Zhiqiang’s invitation.

If the crew falls out, that's fine, they can all go back.

Wan Qingshan and Jiang Zhiqiang were having such a quarrel. Jiang Zhiqiang also believed what Wan Qingshan said. There was nothing to talk about in the script, so Jiang Zhiqiang asked everyone to disperse.

When everyone stood up and prepared to leave, Wan Qingshan suddenly shouted, "Mr. Jiang, wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you."

Jiang Zhiqiang, who had just stood up, was stunned for a moment and sat down. "good!"

Everyone glanced at Wanqingshan curiously, and then continued to walk towards the door.
