Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 110: Cannons are used to measure land area
We had dinner in the hotel and it was brought to our room by the waiter.

"What's wrong, Zu Ming? Why are you looking at me?" Zhen Jiecheng asked while helping Li Pingbin pour wine.

"It's okay, that's it."

"What is it? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you holding it in?"

"I just feel like you know so much, Jie Cheng brother!"

"A lot? Not much! This is just the basic knowledge I need as a director."

"Not much? And it's basic?" Jaycee Chan strongly suspected that someone was pretending, but facing Zhen Jiecheng's as if it was a matter of course, Jaycee Chan was confused again.

"Zu Ming! You don't think Jie Cheng is showing off, do you?" Li Pingbin laughed and said, "Hahaha! You don't have to refute me. I know the answer just by looking at your expression."

After a pause,
"Zu Ming, you're actually right. For most directors, there's really no need to learn so much."

"Let's take some Hong Kong crews that you often come into contact with as examples!"

"In the past, Hong Kong was full of fast-moving crews. From writing the script to starting filming, from wrapping up to post-production, and then to release, the entire process only took a month, or even less."

“Under the influence of this trend, do directors need to have multiple and comprehensive skills?”

After taking a sip of wine, Li Pingbin turned his gaze to Zhen Jiecheng.
"Jie Cheng, you are from the photography department, right?"

"Yes! I majored in photography in my undergraduate studies, and now I am studying directing in graduate school."

"Last time on the set of "A Letter from an Unknown Woman", I remember you mentioned to Teacher Cao Jiuping that you also taught yourself art design?"

"Yeah! Yes, I have a certain foundation in art, so I learned it."

"I see that you have written songs for many singers, so you must have also studied music?" Li Pingbin asked.

"It's just basic musical literacy. I learned it before I went to college, but it's not in-depth."

"In film post-production, such as combining shots, fading in and out, and simple special effects like circle in and circle out. You should be familiar with these linear editing tasks, right?"

"I know a little bit about it!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded.

"Snapped!"

Li Pingbin suddenly clapped his hands and looked back at Jaycee Chan.

"Hey~ this is what we call professionalism!"

"Gululu~" Jaycee Chan swallowed his saliva.
He glanced at Li Pingbin, then at Zhen Jiecheng,

Then he looked at the script on the table, as well as the storyboard that the two of them had drawn while discussing it in the afternoon.

In my mind, Sun Yanzi's "In My Singing Voice", "Don't Think of Me", and Li Wen's "Dancing Diva" echoed.
Finally, his eyes focused on Zhen Jiecheng's face again.
"Brother Jiecheng, you must be very busy when you are in school, right?"

"Yeah!" Zhen Jiecheng was busy gnawing on his steak without even raising his head.

Damn! What the hell is this half-mature, seven-mature bullshit.

As long as the money is in place, why not break the rules and send up the charcoal that is only 10% cooked?

"Brother Jiecheng, you work really hard!"

"Yes! Yes!" Zhen Jiecheng accepted Fang Zuming's praise very calmly without any modesty, "After entering university, I have had nine girlfriends in two and a half years!"

"Divide in the morning, talk at noon!"

"Split at noon, talk in the afternoon!"

"We'll talk in the afternoon on the bed!"

“Can you not work hard and not be busy?”

Jaycee Chan: 0.0
Have a good night and feel refreshed.

The fatigue from yesterday's journey was swept away, and the big brother was full of energy. Zhen Jiecheng waited for a long time before it finally subsided.

I didn't disturb Li Pingbin. After all, he is fifty years old and his sleep quality cannot be compared with that of young people.

Zhen Jiecheng simply washed up and called Cheng Hao first. Then he put on sunglasses and a mask, left the hotel, and plunged into the bustling downtown of Hong Kong.

Because of the memories of his past life, Zhen Jiecheng had no sense of novelty or shock when facing an international metropolis.

Some are merely preserved in images, nostalgia for that "Oriental Hollywood".

In his previous life, Zhen Jiecheng could always hear netizens praising Hong Kong actors for their looks, figures, acting skills, professionalism, and even character.

Zhen Jiecheng has always been too lazy to argue about this.

It’s not the arrogance of being the only one sober while everyone else is drunk, but rather the understanding of empathy.

Those born in the 60s and 70s are okay, but especially those born in the 80s and 90s, it is not an exaggeration to say that they grew up watching Hong Kong movies and TV series.

Zha Liangyong's martial arts drama, Chen Long's action film, Zhou Dufa's knife music and cigarette.
The image of Uncle Nine became a source of security for many children late at night. Young and Dangerous directly influenced and spawned a large number of campus thugs.

What Zhen Jiecheng remembers most vividly is that he locked the doors and windows, turned down the volume, turned on the VCD, put in the disc that he and his classmates had rented with money, and then, with a red face, began to criticize Xu Jinjiang angrily!
Therefore, with the help of these emotional filters, no matter how it is beautified, it seems normal.

But when he actually set foot on this hot land, Zhen Jiecheng thought he had prepared himself mentally, but he still couldn't help but frown.

I just wanted to buy breakfast, but the hospitality turned from warm welcome to cold and disdainful attitude in just one sentence.

I still bought breakfast, and everything from the warm hospitality to the continuous smiles was all because of one sentence.

In the former case, Zhen Jiecheng spoke in Mandarin.

In the latter case, Zhen Jiecheng changed to another one and spoke English.

Under the propaganda of solidarity among “blood brothers and sisters”, there has been a heated discussion in Hong Kong for many years about how ordinary people treat the topic of “immigration”.

The sophisticated middle class is already doing it, and the general public doesn’t want to do it, but they don’t have the money.

Zhen Jiecheng really wanted to scold him, but he held back in the end. He hailed a taxi and went straight to the hotel.

All along the way, I just wanted to slap myself hard a few times.
Shit! I'll make you a bitch!
Why don't you just stay in the hotel? Why do you have to come out?
Isn't this just his own fault?
"What's wrong, Jiecheng? Why do you look so bad?" Li Pingbin, who had just woken up, saw Zhen Jiecheng and asked curiously, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Yes!" Zhen Jiecheng forced a stiff smile. "Teacher Li, you know me well. I'm only 22 years old. I have a bad temper and can't sleep alone."

"."

Li Pingbin twitched the corner of his mouth, strongly suspecting that Zhen Jiecheng was showing off in front of a fifty-year-old middle-aged man like him.

"Ahem! Well, that's exactly what happened!"

"But no matter how angry you are, you have to put it down when you come to Hong Kong!"

"especially you!"

"Hehehe, you'd better take it easy, or you'll be in trouble when you get older."

"It's okay! I've been in good health since I was a child. I'll recover quickly. There's no problem!" Zhen Jiecheng patted his chest.

In my mind, Teacher Ai’s famous words rang:

"Cannons are used to measure land areas!"

Of course, Hong Kong is a national territory, and we must measure it carefully!
I'm really angry now!
This is not something that can be solved by just one, two or three people!

“Beep, beep, beep.” “Hey, Zu Ming, are you up?”

"I'm going to trouble you now. Let's finalize the filming location as soon as possible! The sooner the better!"

"What? Do I have something urgent to do? No, no, Ying Huang greeted me through Brother Jiang before coming here!"

"Not only Ying Huang, your dad also has some friends in the film and television industry! They all want to talk to me."

"Since I have to go back to Beijing in February to support the school's art exam, I just want to finish my work quickly and try to spare enough time."

"My friends in Hong Kong are so enthusiastic, how can I let them down?"

"Hahaha, let's put it this way! When you come to Beijing in the future, I will definitely treat you well!"

The busyness started immediately.

Zhen Jiecheng doesn't even have the extra energy to pay attention to the various slanders against him by the Hong Kong media these days.

On the one hand, the discussion with Li Pingbin about the ideas for shooting the script is still ongoing.

As one of the top photographers in the country, Li Pingbin has his own ideas and thoughts.

This made Zhen Jiecheng's plan to copy the original "Parasite" in terms of overall style fail, so he gritted his teeth and simply tried to continue copying while standing.

On the basis of absorbing the montage techniques used in the original version, I added the opinions that I finally came up with after communicating and choosing between me and Li Pingbin, giving this "Parasite" a new look!

On the one hand, the filming locations carefully selected by Jaycee Chan need to be inspected one by one.

Based on Li Pingbin's opinions, a shortlist of candidates was selected.

On the other hand, the senior screenwriter from Hong Kong contacted by Brother Chen Long is already in place.

Under the leadership of Zhen Jiecheng, the script was localized to a certain extent.

Zhen Jiecheng is required to participate fully in every aspect and is extremely busy.

“This house is nice!”

It was another day of field investigation. When Zhen Jiecheng arrived at the villa with Fang Zuming, his eyes lit up!
He immediately turned to look at Li Pingbin.
"Teacher Li, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Li Pingbin looked around.
"Yes! Sure! The resulting composition will be great! Better than the alternatives we picked out before!"

"That's settled! This is it!" Zhen Jiecheng's joy was beyond words.

Stride to the French window,

Sunshine, breezes, lawns, fruit trees, and sweeping views!
"The floor-to-ceiling windows need to be remodeled and reassembled."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the French window.
"A stone table and several stone chairs were arranged on the lawn."

"For example, I am the male protagonist right now, peeking out through the glass cautiously."

"The former nanny and the villa hostess were sitting on a table and chairs on the lawn talking."

“I needed the stitching line of the French window to be exactly in the center of the shot, with the original nanny on the left and the villa hostess on the right.”

"The lawn is green, the flowers are in full bloom, the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing the hostess's hair and also ruffling the corners of the former nanny's clothes."

"But a splicing line separates the two worlds!"

"Even if they breathe the same air and sit face to face!"

"Good idea!" Hearing this, Li Pingbin's eyes lit up. "In addition to the camera language, we can also make some changes to the music to further enhance the atmosphere!"

"Yes! I thought so too!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded, "I have called Brother Jiang and asked him to help me contact Jiu Shirang of Neon."

Although Zhen Jiecheng always hopes that Baga will die, he has to admit that Baga is really strong in music.

In the field of pop music, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scenes in the early years made their living by covering pop songs.

Only a few musicians such as Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, Wubai, and Beyond are supporting the banner of originality.

In recent years, cover songs have continued, but they are not limited to the Baga family. The range of choices is getting wider and wider, including Western countries and even European countries.

For example, Pan Shuai, who squeezed out Tao Jiji through publicity and forced himself to be on par with Zhou Jielun, Ling Junjie, and Erge. Didn't he rise to fame by singing covers and couldn't help himself?
The same is true for film and television soundtracks!
Including "The Original Scenery of Hometown", many classic soundtracks full of Chinese cultural style are all from the hands of Japanese people.

Even Zhang Yimou's 08 Olympic team invited Japanese people to participate in the design.

Damn, I can’t help but accept it!
"Jiu Shirang? He is an old friend of Jiang Wen and they have worked together many times! There will be no problem asking Jiang Wen to act as a matchmaker."

"Wait! Didn't Joe Jiushi take over the music for The Sun Also Rises?"

"But it won't stop me from working on Parasite!" Zhen Jiecheng said confidently, "The Sun Also Rises is just a transitional work for Jiang Ge. How long can it take?"

"Besides, even if there is a slight conflict in schedule, he is the elder brother and I am the younger brother, so he should give in to me!"

"You brat!" Li Pingbin couldn't help laughing, "With your face, Jiang Wen will definitely start to curse you!"

"Yeah! He did. First it was you, then Jiushi. I even asked Jinglei to go for a cameo a while ago. He was so scared that someone would make a fuss about the fact that the crew of The Sun Also Rises was able to shoot normally without a director."

"So it's normal for him to curse! He can curse, it doesn't hurt, it won't hurt me."

"Hahaha! Jiang Wen and you are a perfect match!" Li Pingbin couldn't hold it back any longer and laughed out loud, his cheeks flushed with laughter, "Fuck, you two brothers are amazing!"

The paparazzi in Hong Kong are having a hard time.

The giant horse is in pain!
I had been looking forward to seeing Zhen Jiecheng for a long time, but it turned out that this guy was busy with work all day long. No! He was not busy with work!
Diurelaom!

You're only twenty-two years old!

How can you have a bullshit career at your age?

You should only want to fuck women now! And golf!

Flop! This is the right direction to work towards!
It is extremely shameful to waste talent and youth!

The paparazzi all sighed and lamented that Zhen Jiecheng was not a good son.

Damn, he was doing very well in the mainland, but not in Hong Kong. Isn't this blatant discrimination?
How do you say it in the words of the Lighthouse Country?

Oh yes, regional discrimination!

But just as the paparazzi were preparing to develop their thoughts on this and criticize Zhen Jiecheng in their subsequent reports.

"There's news from Yinghuang!"

"We're having a cocktail party tonight!"

"Fang Shilong is back in Hong Kong! Prince Long picked him up at the airport, and the father and son went to the hotel where Zhen Jiecheng is staying!"

"Come on, let's exchange information about which female celebrities have received invitations."

"."

"They are all in their thirties or forties! Some are even almost fifty!"

"Hahaha! They are all Zhen Jiecheng's taste!"

"Let's go! Let's work overtime tonight. Let's get started tonight!"
