Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 186

"Crack!"

"The mood is not right, try again!"

"Crack!"

"You shouldn't be showing 'busy but not chaotic' through body language! You're a retired agent, you've been in this business for decades! These movements have long become second nature to you!"

"Answer the phone here. What I need is a micro-expression, a fleeting micro-expression!"

"As a father, you feel a sense of urgency when your daughter is in danger, but your professional experience as an agent quickly suppresses your conditioned reflex. I have to capture this process of change through the lens!"

From Jing Tian to Chen Long.

Different identities, same process.

The sound of "click" echoed in the set, leaving the Hong Kong employees led by Pan Yaoming stunned.

This is the big brother!

When has Big Brother ever suffered such injustice since he came back from Hollywood?

Even the eldest brother Hong Jingbao had to show enough respect to him, and on the set, he was the only one who could "point fingers" at others, including the director. He was never "embarrassed" or lectured, just like a newcomer!
How many times has this "clicked"? I can't remember, probably about seven or eight times.

Oh no, is he going to follow Wang Jiawei's example and torture my eldest brother?

Thinking of this, Pan Yaoming felt inexplicably terrified. As an acquaintance who knew Chen Long's temper, he seemed to have seen the storm that was about to happen on the set.

Seeing this, Li Pingbin grinned.

"Teacher Li, what are you laughing at?"

"Haha, I laugh at you for worrying too much."

"Do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Nonsense, isn't it obvious?" Li Pingbin raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, Jiahui said that Jiecheng and Wang Jiawei are different. Even if the process is similar, the essence is different."

"As for the filming progress of this scene being stuck, that is even less of a problem."

"Jiecheng is not about people, but about the matter. In Jiang Wen's words, it's fair, fair, and damn fair!"

"Chen Long may not be able to adapt to it for a while, and may even be a little annoyed because of it, but when he figures it out, he will understand."

After a pause,
"He will definitely figure it out, and quickly. Not only because Chen Long is already at the age of knowing his destiny, his temper is different from before. But also because this play is very important to him!"

Li Pingbin is right.

If it were Chen Long from ten years ago, let alone a quarrel, it was possible that the quarrel would turn into a fight.

But things are different now. After a brief annoyance, Chen Long did not feel dissatisfied. Instead, he was embarrassed beyond words.

There was no way, Jing Tian was staring at me with his big eyes!
Especially when his clear eyes revealed the honest expression of "It turns out that brother is the same as me", Chen Long felt a little at a loss as to what to do.

Ah this
“Question Xu Jinglei, understand Xu Jinglei, become Xu Jinglei! Hey~ the essence of human beings is always the same!”

Li Pingbin smacked his lips and made a profound summary.

"Xu Jinglei? Teacher Li, what does Xu Jinglei have to do here?" Pan Yaoming asked puzzledly.

"You can replace Xu Jinglei with Jing Tian!"

"Jingtian? Didn't Tiantian perform well? Big brother didn't question her. He always praised her!"

"Haha! You don't know Jiecheng. Although I don't quite understand why Jingtian suddenly acted so well just now, one thing is true." Li Pingbin raised his head confidently, "I have only seen Jiecheng look at Jingtian like that once, and the last time was when it was Liu Yifei!"

"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. Just keep reading. You'll understand what I'm saying after a while."

After saying this, he stopped talking.

He watched the show calmly, and Pan Yaoming admired him for his calmness. As expected of a famous senior in the industry, his aura was truly extraordinary!

……

"Jiecheng, tell me the play again in detail!"

Chen Long really couldn't stand Jing Tian's look anymore, and he just wanted to finish the filming as soon as possible.

If it were anyone else, they would have already thrown the Hong Kong version of “What are you looking at?” at him, but it had to be Jing Tian!

This girl is cute, polite, sincere and lovable. Apart from other things, Uncle Lu also sponsored a large amount of expenses, such as charter flights, the difference in upgrading hotels, and the professional chef team that arrived with the crew.

Chen Long didn't have the confidence to speak up at all.

"Brother, regarding this plot, I sent it to you as soon as the script was finalized, and there have been no changes in the middle."

"I think you should be more familiar with it than I am! You have spent more time and energy on it. You are different from Jing Tian, ​​you don't need me to explain the play in detail."

Zhen Jiecheng shook his head.

"I only mention two points!"

"First, a blank expression is itself a type of expression."

For example, Tony Leung and Yang Yang, both with tense faces, present completely different visual effects, and it is obvious who has facial paralysis.

“Second, a plain tone can also carry rich emotions.”

On the premise that the tone remains basically unchanged, pauses and lengthens are made at different syllables, and the rhythm is adjusted to express distinct changes in emotions.

For example, in In the Name of People, Gao Yuliang and Hou Liangping. The former has many long "plain" lines, but he portrays the deep temperament of being in a high position vividly, and at the same time, he also restrains the emotions that need to be expressed and the metaphors that need to be implied. What about the latter? When encountering similar lines, it is no different from mechanical recitation!

"I understand!" Chen Long nodded.

His many years of working experience have accumulated rich experience in literary drama, and with Chen Long's deliberate polishing and improvement, he quickly understood Zhen Jiecheng's meaning after a simple thought.

"Give me some more time, I'll adjust!"

"Okay, big brother."

"Well, Jiecheng, I may need to click a few more times, or even more, to get the feeling right." Chen Long said, nodding in the direction of Jingtian, "Well, Jingtian is watching all the time."

Seeing Chen Long's hesitant expression, Zhen Jiecheng was amused.
"How about 'keep one'?"

"Oh, yes, yes!" Chen Long nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "'Protect one' is good! Jiecheng, you are so thoughtful. Thank you!"

"Hey, you're welcome. It's nothing!" Zhen Jiecheng waved his hand. "Brother, go ahead and adjust it. Let me know when you're done."

Looking at Chen Long's departing back, he smacked his lips.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Jing Tian is not the same as Liu Yifei. Instead, Brother Long behaves like Jie Lun."

"Damn, this is so magical!"

It took two whole days to polish a scene of answering the phone before Chen Long finally got the feel right and performed the scene to the satisfaction of Zhen Jiecheng.

Looking at a group of foreigners with incredible expressions, Li Pingbin just felt bored.

Tsk, there are a lot of bumpkins in Hollywood who have never seen the world.

It's only been two days, is that considered three days?

If Jiang Wen were called over, it would give Jiecheng some motivation.

Or if you want to make it more exciting, you can call Wang Jiawei as well, and the three of you can play Landlord together.

That would be fun to shoot!
Unlike now, there was only Jiecheng shouting on the set, it was not lively at all.

Thinking of this, Li Pingbin started to crack the melon seeds he brought from China, and missed the happy time he had spent tasting delicious food with Liang Jiahui a few months ago.

"Old Li!" Zhen Jiecheng's voice rang in my ears.

Damn it! Teacher Li didn’t even call you, you are such a fool.

"Hey~ here we come!"

I murmured in my heart, agreed with my mouth, and my body was very honest.

Li Pingbin quickly put away the melon seeds and trotted towards the direction of the monitor. Seeing Li Pingbin in place, the three photographers gathered together, and Zhen Jiecheng began to give instructions on the precautions for the next shooting.

“As I said before, in the first fight between the hero and the trafficker, I will use fast editing and shaking shots to show the speed of the fight.”

“The close-up shots must accurately capture the hero’s cold expression and every precise strike! This will enhance the tension and visual impact of the action scenes.”

"As for the chase scene,"

Zhen Jiecheng raised his head.

“You can try to use a technique of quickly moving horizontally across the foreground to create speed lines, but during the quick switch, you must maintain the dynamic composition I set! Of course, the same goes for fighting scenes.”

"Otherwise, try again!"

"Is there a problem?"

"No problem!" Li Pingbin blurted out without thinking.

That's it?

It's just a little harder, a little more tedious, a little more serious and a little more precise!

I've already gotten used to it!

Seeing his senior's straightforward answer, Pan Yaoming, who was a little hesitant, had no choice but to bite the bullet and say,
"no problem!"

Seeing this, Adam Greenberg, the photographer invited by New Line, was dumbfounded after hearing the translation.

I've been in this industry for so long, but I've never seen a Hollywood commercial action film that was so sophisticated.

Isn't this a popcorn movie? It's not an art film either!
Also, are all Chinese photographers so amazing? Are their handheld camera techniques and skills so precise and advanced?

Why could you agree so readily?

No, they are both like this, if I raise objections won’t it show that I am incompetent?
So, I gritted my teeth:
"No problem!"

"OK! Thank you all for your hard work!" Zhen Jiecheng smiled happily.

He grabbed Li Pingbin who was about to go back to eat some melon seeds, and after the other two left, Zhen Jiecheng gave him a thumbs up.

"Old Li, great cooperation!"

"Ah? Cooperation? What cooperation?"

"Okay, they're both gone, and there's no one else around, so why are you still pretending?" Zhen Jiecheng grinned, "We really are in perfect sync! I just gave you a look and you understood immediately!"

"Eyes? Wait, you don't mean the blink just now?"

"if not?"

"Fuck! I thought you couldn't sleep last night because you were thinking about women, so you're sleepy today."

"Damn! Don't you understand my look?"

"I don't understand shit!" Li Pingbin waved his hands, "And what's this bullshit coordination you're talking about? I don't know anything about it!"

"Let me put it this way. I'm just used to being bullied by you! Can you put it aside for now and just respond first?"

"If the filming is not good, I can just do it again and again. It's not like the film money is deducted from my salary anyway."

Zhen Jiecheng: (￣∠￣)

Chen Long’s journey of suffering did not end there. He still had to endure the ubiquitous gaze of Jing Tian, ​​who was keen on observing and learning on the spot.

In terms of literary drama, the feeling of precise capture has not yet been finalized and still requires familiarity and adjustment.

The martial arts scenes are no longer the familiar furniture scenes, nor are they the fancy ones with comedic effects.

"Click". No! The sound of "protecting one line" not only did not decrease, but became more frequent.

It wasn't just Chen Long's mistake, but also the actions and positions of other actors and extras.

This also involves the problem of the pictures taken by the photographer.

Amid the constant sounds of “click” and “take a shot”, the film set seemed to have turned into a film processing center.

If this continues, by the time the film is finished, the burned film will probably be enough for Jiang Wen to shit around the earth. He shits once, and the film is broken multiple times. He scrapes once, otherwise he will never be able to scrape it all!
The producer sent by New Line could no longer hold back and raised objections to Zhen Jiecheng.

But it’s no use, the contract clearly states that the director has the final say!
The producer of New Line went to discuss the matter with the producer sent by China Film.

But it was useless, because the boss of China Film Group was Zhen Jiecheng’s senior.

As for the producer from Hong Kong, he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

There is no way. Chen Long has always said that "Jiecheng has the final say". What can he do?
Finally, Lu Zheng heard the news from Jing Tian and called him from China.

"Tiantian is a newcomer with no experience and is slow to adjust, which will waste a lot of film. To show our sincerity, Xingguang Canlan is willing to prepare tuition for Tiantian. If the film budget exceeds the budget, the tuition will be used to fill the gap!"

From then on, there was no more sound on the set.

There was only the figure of Zhen Jiecheng walking around with a loud speaker!

"Fuck!" Mandarin.

"Fuck you!" in Cantonese.

"Wang Defa!" English.

Speak the truth to people and speak lies to foreigners!
No one is a robot. As his patience was worn away bit by bit, Zhen Jiecheng's irritability also grew.

Fortunately, there is only a six-hour time difference between France and Beijing, so it does not affect my phone call with Cheng Hao.

Thanks to Cheng Hao's gentle comfort every day, Zhen Jiecheng was able to control his emotions.

"Sister, I know losing your temper is not good."

"But you don't know, some people just deserve to be scolded!"

"If you don't increase the intensity, he will immediately let down his guard."

"I have finally gotten into the groove recently. If I don't hurry up and shoot, once I relax, I might have to get back into the groove again and find the feeling again. By then, I will really become Wang Jiawei, who can drag down several investors with just one play!"

"Bah! Stop talking nonsense. What the hell? Director Wang is the one who helped you win the Palme d'Or!" Cheng Hao spat on the other end of the phone.

"By the way, Jie Cheng, I plan to tell my uncle and aunt the news before the New Year."

"Don't you want to go back to your hometown for the New Year? Why don't you just come to Qingdao? It happens to be right after the New Year when I'm due to give birth soon."

"Okay, you have the final say!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded.

"Also, the drone team you asked me to follow has recently been short of funds."

So fast? Zhen Jiecheng was stunned.

This is the only time in DJI’s history that it will be looking for investment. Shouldn’t it be at the end of this year?
In the end, it was Lu Di, a family friend of the founder Wang Tao, who generously donated $9 to help DJI overcome the difficulties.

Wait, there are only two months left until the end of the year. If we count the time Wang Tao takes to seek investment from others, it should be about the same.

"Sister! Then take action!"

"According to my previous plan."

“On the one hand, we invest and take shares, but we do not interfere with development.”

"On the one hand, our company will provide promotional resources, including but not limited to endorsements from artists signed by the company, as well as close-up shots when drones are needed in my film!"

"Also, please inform the team that I would like to meet with their team when I return home after filming Taken."

After a pause,
"Let's talk about the Olympics!"

"But this is not interference with development, nor is it empty talk of dedication. If it is done well, it will be of great benefit to their drone research and development and future market launch!"
