Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 170 If you want to get involved in this business, you have to have a background. Look, they are all my senior brothers!

Get off the plane at Suzhou-Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport and transfer.

The journey to Hengdian is a bit cumbersome.

In the previous life, it was not until 17 years that Dongyang Hengdian General Airport was officially opened to traffic and became the first township-level airport in China.

When I walked to the exit, I saw a plump girl wearing black-framed glasses and holding a sign from afar.

It says on it: Don’t use your back to hit the ball if you dare. I’ll give you three balls!
Traditional Chinese characters are written in a very northern style.

Add to that the resentment that was overwhelming.

That’s right, it’s that kid Jie Lun!

So Zhen Jiecheng strode forward,

"Were you sent by Xiaolunzi to pick me up?"

"Ah?" The fat girl was stunned, and only then could she see Zhen Jiecheng's face hidden by the baseball cap and sunglasses.

"Zhen no, Brother Cheng! I'm Brother Jay's new assistant. My name is Li Fengni, and Brother Jay calls me Dani."

The accent is terrible.

"Dani, right? Okay, I get it!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded, "Why are you still in a daze? Let's go. I don't want to be discovered at the airport and be surrounded by people."

"Ah? Oh! Brother Cheng, please follow me!"

Jie Lun sent his nanny car. The interior space is very spacious and comfortable to sit in, but I don’t know how the shock absorption is.

When I got in the car, the first thing I saw was a brand new ashtray filled with a layer of water.

Obviously, this was Jie Lun's special order.

Seeing this, Zhen Jiecheng didn't hesitate to light a cigarette with the car window half open.

"I heard that my senior originally chose Huang Xuan from Beijing Dance Academy to play the second prince, but that idiot Zhang Weiping insisted on finding someone with high traffic and great appeal."

"I had a big fight with my senior brother over this, and that's why I forced Jielun in."

Zhen Jiecheng had a curious expression on his face.

"Dani, tell me, is Jie Lun enjoying his time on the set of Curse of the Golden Flower?"

"How does it feel to be clicked every day?"

"Oh, by the way! After burning so many rolls of film, did that idiot Zhang Weiping get mad?"

"I was thinking, the money for burning the film is not much less than renting a caravan to take a shit. He can quarrel with the movie emperor over this, so he can't just let Jie Lun off, right?"

Dani:.
Adequate fat energy reserves are not enough to fully power the brain.

Faced with Zhen Jiecheng's extremely wild chatting style, Dani's phone went offline.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke.

"Hey, Director Zhen, Jay is doing well on the set, and he hasn't been cut too many times."

"As for Mr. Zhang, he rarely comes to the crew."

"That's true. Gong Li even wrote no meeting into the contract." Zhen Jiecheng smacked his lips. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. If she dares to show her face, it's a breach of contract and she has to pay compensation. My goodness, this is much more overbearing than the clause that requires the RV to shit."

In the early years, when the company of wealthy businessman Huang Hexiang held an event, Gong Li and Zhang Weiping were both guests.

At the reception, Gong Li and Huang Hexiang danced. Soon, the rumor that "the two kissed in public" spread and reached Lao Mouzi's ears very quickly.

Zhou Xiaofeng, who was an old partner of Lao Yi, later said in the book: "Zhang Weiping and his wife comforted Zhang Yi on the surface, but continued to speak ill of Gong Li in front of Zhang Yi and fabricated all kinds of lies."

It is not clear what Lao Mouzi was thinking exactly, but when Gong Li proposed to get married, Lao Mouzi became hesitant and evasive, and they parted ways since then.

Afterwards, Gong Li learned the whole story and broke off relations with Zhang Weiping and his wife and cut off all ties with them.

Later on, perhaps she was moved by Huang Hexiang's sincere attitude in courting love, or perhaps she had some kind of revengeful mentality.

In short, Gong Li now has another identity in the "Curse of the Golden Flower" crew: that is Mrs. Huang!

I don’t know why the old man felt his body tremble with every step he took when facing his wife’s queen look.

What's on your mind?
"Wait, master, stop the car!" Zhen Jiecheng suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong, Director Zhen?" Dani asked puzzledly.

He did not directly answer his question, but continued to direct the driver.

"Backwards! Backwards again!"

"Alright, alright!"

Zhen Jiecheng excitedly took out his cell phone and took pictures outside the window.

Suddenly, I saw a family planning slogan printed on the wall of a house on the roadside: Having a son or a daughter is equally good, a daughter can also pass on the family line.

Below the slogan is Chun Ge’s warm and sunny smile.

Arrived at the set of "Curse of the Golden Flower".

The first person to come forward was Wei Lanfen, the coordinator of the Olympic opening ceremony.

"Director Zhen! Welcome, welcome!"

"Our Olympic Creative Team has been looking forward to your visit."

"By the way, congratulations again on winning the Palme d'Or. You have engraved your name in the history of Cannes, and we are proud of it too!"

"Teacher Wei, you are too polite, aren't you?" Zhen Jiecheng smiled and stepped forward to shake hands, then patted his head in annoyance, "Hey! I said you are polite, but I was also polite. Why call me teacher? I should call you Sister Wei!"

"Sister Wei, I have accepted the offer from the Olympic Committee, so I am naturally a member of the team. How can I welcome you as one of my own?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Director Zhen, you are right!" Wei Lanfen nodded with a smile.

"Sister Wei, why are you still so polite? Why call me Director Zhen? Call me Jie Cheng!"

"Hahaha, Jiecheng!" Wei Lanfen's smile spread wide. "Come on, let's talk while we walk!"

"You came at an inopportune time. Everyone is taking a nap."

"Director Zhang has to film a movie and host a discussion meeting at the same time. He is very energetic and we can't handle it."

"We often have to attend meetings late at night, which disrupts our daily routine."

"So we've learned to catch up on sleep whenever we can. Because Director Zhang may come over at any time, it could be late at night or during the day."

"You don't know, last time we were discussing ideas in a room similar to an inn, and we were shooting a martial arts scene outside. Suddenly, the production manager came over to remind us to leave quickly, and as soon as we left, someone broke in from behind, knocking down the doors and windows!"

We were chatting when we suddenly stopped.
"By the way, Jie Cheng, have you eaten?"

"I have eaten on the plane." Zhen Jiecheng replied, "Sister Wei, is Senior Brother filming right now?"

"Ok!"

"I want to go over and take a look."

"Now? You must be tired from the journey, don't you want to take a rest?"

"No, Sister Wei, I'm still young, so what's a little fatigue?" Zhen Jiecheng rubbed his hands excitedly, "I've long wanted to observe Senior Brother's camera language, especially his use of color tones."

Seeing this, Wei Lanfen chuckled.
"No wonder you, Jiecheng, have achieved such great accomplishments in film at such a young age. With this attitude towards learning, anyone can achieve great things."

"Okay, I'll take you there!"

Pass through the hutong houses, royal palaces, and royal gardens.

As the most expensive and largest scenic spot in Hengdian World Studios, the Ming and Qing Palaces were built based on the Forbidden City in Beijing at a 1:1 ratio.

The place where Wei Lanfen took Zhen Jiecheng was the essence of the scenic area's architecture: the palace located on the central axis of the Ming and Qing Palace Scenic Area.

"Wow! What a big deal!"

The core palace, carefully built for filming needs, is extremely gorgeous, surrounded by five-meter-high walls!
Zhen Jiecheng just took a quick glance and smelled the scent of money.

"How could it not be a big deal? Three thousand workers were mobilized to set the scene! I heard that Director Zhang has also contacted the armed forces and will dispatch nearly a thousand soldiers to perform the highlight of the Double Ninth Festival mutiny. There will be 20,000 extras participating in the performance."

Zhen Jiecheng was not the only one who was amazed.

Even though Wei Lanfen had seen it many times, she still couldn't help but feel excited every time she saw it. "A thousand-meter velvet carpet!"

"Gong Li's six costumes were all custom-made. The gold-plated phoenix robe weighed 20 kilograms and was made of fabric bought from France."

"Zhou Runfa has an extra set of costumes. The dragon robe is even more outrageous. It is made of 18k gold pieces strung with gold thread. It took more than a month to make and cost 125 million. Every time he wears it, he needs seven or eight people to help him!"

Zhen Jiecheng was amazed when he heard this.

Compared with this, what does Nolan's bombing of buildings and planting corn fields look like?
Nothing!

"Come on, Jie Cheng, let's go in."

There were special people guarding outside the set, but even if Wei Lanfen was not there, Zhen Jiecheng could easily get in by scanning his face, so there was basically no plot where he would pretend to be cool and get slapped in the face after being stopped.

Walk lightly and try not to make any noise to disturb the shooting.

Zhen Jiecheng focused his attention on the palace.

Countless warm colors are spread out before your eyes!
Including golden glazed tiles, carved and hollowed-out columns, colorful carpets, and dazzling golden ornaments and headdresses.

The superposition of bright and colorful colors makes it extremely luxurious, even to the point of being exaggerated!

"Old man, this is what you did on purpose!"

Zhen Jiecheng was pondering in his heart.

In the color wheel, due to its high brightness, yellow has the highest brightness and purity, and has a strong highlighting effect.

This is the time to introduce another hue, especially black or dark gray.

There is a significant metaphorical mapping between the two colors and their communicative meanings. For example: Zhou Runfa's golden armor and Zhou Jielun's black armor!

Through color metaphors, the relationship between characters can be easily highlighted or weakened, such as power relations, monarch-subject relations, hierarchical relations, etc.

Then, under the combined effect of cognition and experience, color plays the role of language.

This is the camera language of Lao Mouzi!

The analysis is complete, continue to focus.

The "red" that Lao Mouzi loves also comes into view.

Interspersed and not coherent.

There is no doubt that "red" is a metaphor for blood.

At the same time, the alternation and interweaving of "yellow" and "red" also reveals the visible or invisible struggles in the court.

Zhen Jiecheng was not focused on the scenes being filmed, but was looking around with a frown.

Pause from time to time, think, and then continue looking around.

Until a familiar "click" sounded in my ears!
"Don't be nervous, Jielun."

"I know you feel a lot of pressure acting with Gong Li, but you have to keep your mind calm!"

The assistant director stepped forward immediately to calm Zhou Jielun down.

As the biggest and most obvious loser in the "Curse of the Golden Flower" crew, Zhou Jielun also has the most pressure.

"It has nothing to do with Sister Gong," Zhou Jielun waved his hand, "It's my own problem!"

"Sister Gong is quite humorous and she often enlightens me with a smile."

After a pause, he began to reflect on his mistakes.

"Well, I was nervous at first, so I might not have been looking into her eyes."

The sentences are quite messy, even if you don't look at the expression and only listen to the voice, it can definitely be called a textbook "tense" performance!
Hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng couldn't hold it back any longer and burst out laughing.

The laughter was so sudden that everyone turned to look.

"Hahaha, Jie Lun, tell the truth!"

"You didn't look into Sister Gong's eyes, so where were you looking at?"

"Also, I strongly suspect that your nervousness is not because of your cooking, but because..."

"Damn it! You idiot, stop talking nonsense!" Zhou Jielun was furious. He interrupted Zhen Jiecheng and rushed over to cover his mouth with his hands and feet bared, fearing that he would say something irrelevant again.

"Stop, stop, stop! You're still in your costume, if you damage it you'll have to pay for it!"

"I'll pay for it! It's not like I can't afford it!" Zhou Jielun stiffened his neck.

"What's the point of just paying for the clothes? They still have to be customized. How are you going to compensate me if the shoot is delayed?"

Zhou Jielun was dumbfounded and stopped moving his hands.

Zhen Jiecheng raised his eyebrows proudly.
"Did I hit a sore spot? Look how anxious you are!"

"Okay, stop pushing me. Don't you see Sister Gong is grinning and watching the joke? Sister Gong isn't anxious, so why should you be anxious?"

Hearing this, Zhou Jielun looked over anxiously.

When I saw Gong Li smiling and waving her hand, I immediately felt at ease.

"Damn it, you're just a bitch, I'm here to help you calm down!"

"Isn't it just that Sister Gong's costume is more sexy? Why do you say that?"

"Even though Uncle Ge and Sister Jialing shook the carved wooden bed apart, they never shivered as much as you do!"

"Fuck! I can't beat you anyway!" Zhou Jielun rolled his eyes. "You can say whatever you want, I won't listen anyway, so I won't be infected by you!"

"Is it bad to be infected by me? Am I bad? Do you despise me so much?"

"My teacher told me to follow in the footsteps of my senior brothers, strive to learn from the best of all schools, and become a combination of all their best characteristics."

"Senior Han also said that I have already embarked on this path! And I have made significant progress!"

As he spoke, Zhen Jiecheng patted Zhou Jielun on the shoulder.

"What's the matter? Do you think my department head teacher is wrong? Or is Mr. Han from China Film Group wrong?"

"Or maybe it's because my senior brothers are not good enough and don't have outstanding characteristics?"

Without waiting for Zhou Jielun to answer, he turned and walked towards Lao Mouzi.
"Hello, senior brother!"

Then there is photographer Zhao Xiaoding.

"Hello, senior brother!"

Then there is the art director Huo Tingxiao.

"Hello, senior brother!"

Then there is the recording engineer Tao Jing.

"Hello, senior brother!"

Finally, there is Bian Zhihong.

"Hello, senior brother!"

One sound after another echoed in the studio.

Zhou Jielun stood there in a daze, his eyes wide open.

Gong Li was already laughing so hard that she was holding her stomach.

A collection of all the best features? And it comes from the mouth of the "notorious" Zhen Jiecheng.

Should we criticize ourselves or should we confess and be lenient?

Thinking about it, he gave Lao Mouzi a look.

The old man was still honest, but his old face couldn't bear Mrs. Huang's attention and he avoided it awkwardly.

Seeing this, Mrs. Huang's smile became even more meaningful.

　Jay Chou’s original words.

　　Anyway, I guess he couldn't resist the dazzling white light of the snow!
