Coquettish Rebirth

After returning to Shanghai, Jia Hongjian didn't need to care about the specific arrangement of accommodation and the like. He just made a call to Li An's side to ask how Li An's crew was doing. "Lao Li, how is it? Is the shooting going well? Are there any difficulties? If you have any difficulties, please tell me. If I can help you, I will definitely help you, even if it is the difficulties and inconveniences in your life." As the boss, Jia Hongjian, Sincerely, this is caring in place. How can other investors care so much about the various problems encountered during filming?How can other investors care about the life problems encountered during filming?For their group of investors, the directors and film crews who work for them, no matter how difficult it is, as long as they can make them, investors, make money!Other difficulties and so on... Which line of work is not difficult?

"Thank you Mr. Jia for your concern. We have no difficulties for the time being. Although it is true that there will be problems with going to the toilet, diverting water, and taking a bath when shooting in the wild, after all, our base camp in the northwest is still stationed in Bird City, so the most we can do is stay in the wild. I will go back once a week, and generally speaking, it is passable..." Li An then, at Jia Hongjian's request, talked about their shooting in the field by the way.For example, when shooting in the wilderness, where is there any toilet, so basically a small wooden house is built with plywood or the like, and then a big hole is dug in the ground inside the house, which is considered a squat pit!There are only two such toilets for men, women and children!

In that kind of wild place, not to mention the lack of water, even if there is no shortage of water, they dare not drink wild water at will-everyone is a city dweller.I'm all spoiled, if I get diarrhea from drinking, won't this affect the shooting?This is not to say that urbanites are discriminated against or something is wrong with pampering, but that urbanites really have this kind of problem, just like foreign countries, especially Japan. As a result of all kinds of cleanliness, people are prone to allergies without contact with too many foreign objects!Especially the hay fever in Japan, how many people sneeze and catch a cold in spring!But in China, there are not many pollen cakes at all!

So when Li An and the others went to shoot, they got too much drinking water.I directly got a pickup truck filled with twenty or thirty barrels of bottled water for everyone to use.If it is not enough, the pickup truck can run back to the city during the day to fill up water and bring it back!As for other meals, although there is no box lunch, they have bought vegetables, fruits and meat.There is a chef who cooks next to the crew every day.So except for the uncomfortable toilet.Besides sleeping in tents and the like, there is really not much uncomfortable place, even if there is a place to wash in the shower-it is also a temporary single bathroom built.You can boil hot water and take a shower!

After Jia Hongjian's heart was reassured here, Li An turned to mention one thing, "Mr. Jia, Li Kaixiang... is really working hard! She now practices with her mother every morning, every day with Daomadan The same starts with basic skills... This girl is really hardworking... and even now she is still practicing horse riding every day!" Jia Hongjian was taken aback when he heard this, he knew that Li Yanlong brought his mother there, but he took his mother with him. After the mother passed away, you still practice with your mother all day long? "Really?" he asked.

"Well, really. She's really working hard now. I haven't given her any praise. She just keeps working hard and practicing. She practices first every day, and then finds Yuan Heping to learn the moves to be performed. She is proficient and beautiful. After I finished it, I became more proficient in filming...Of course, I have higher requirements for her. Let her follow Yang Ziqiong's standards, but she can still grit her teeth and persevere...Mr. Jia, the actress you found But it's unusual!" Li An couldn't help admiring.

It turned out that after Li Kuangqiang followed the crew to the southwest, he really worked hard all the way.Not to mention practicing from dawn to dusk every day, every time I practice the martial arts moves to be filmed in advance, I have to practice the moves to look good and handsome.However, maybe because she doesn't have any foundation in martial arts and dance classes, the accuracy of the movements is a little bit poor. It is to ask her to do the same movement ten times, and the height and length of each movement may be different.In this way, it will have a slight impact on the routine of cooperating with other actors. Sometimes the kick may be over ten centimeters, forcing the other actor to step back, and then the other actor only has half of his body in the camera. , which will start shooting again.

For this kind of thing that has to start filming again, and may have to continue ng, it is actually quite painful for some directors.After all, this kind of ng is also a waste of film!And this film also costs money!Take Kodak's 35mm film as an example, the minimum specification is 400 feet, that is, it can roughly allow a machine to shoot 4 minutes of movie film, even the cheapest one costs about 3000 yuan!Moreover, in such a movie, Ang Lee still used the 320 film in Kodak's vision5277t series as the film negative, so the price was even higher!It can be said that by the end of the last film, the film money wasted on Li Kuang is quite a lot!After all, this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"

At the same time, when Ang Lee first discussed the entire martial arts style with Yuan Heping, he did not adopt the more "modern" fist-to-flesh fighting style like in "The Matrix", and did not combine various modern fighting techniques. To make fighting look cool and lethal.What Ang Lee prefers is the more traditional Hong Kong-style wire hanging method. He wants to reflect the dreamy sense of human flying, so the fights in this scene are not too many hand-to-hand combats, but too much wire hanging!And this hanging steel wire is also the first time for a big girl to get on a bridal sedan chair for Li Yanlong!

For an actress, not even an actress, even a male actor, when they are hoisted by a steel wire that is not much thicker than chopsticks behind them, they are very excited at first, but as the height rises, it brings It's not excitement, but panic!For example, when a person is hoisted ten meters into the air by a chopstick-thick steel wire, which is about three stories high, and there is nothing around for him to step on, he is just dangling by a steel wire like this. hanging in mid-air.Then I knew that if the steel wire jumped, the person would definitely be seriously injured if he fell!At least a broken leg!Even if the whole person is photographed flat, the ribs or spine will be broken!In this case, there is only a steel wire behind him, and then he has to do all kinds of martial arts moves, look good, and act... Is it really easy?Even when Cheng Long is filming, he usually doesn't let outsiders hang steel wires on them. He usually chooses people from Cheng's class to act as stand-ins, because it is troublesome to cooperate with "laymen".Even the newcomers who came in from Cheng's class trusted the wire rope made by the old man 100%, but after hoisting them up, they all turned pale, let alone other ordinary actors who were not born in martial arts!

According to Ang Lee, this Li Kuang was hanged on a steel wire during filming, and his face was pale enough at the beginning.The first time I took a shot with a steel wire, I was taken aback for 15 times!As a result, after such an experience, Li Kuangqiang didn't know what to do, and then hung the steel wire or something the next day, his face turned pale, but the scene was able to be filmed normally, but the number of times of ng back and forth was reduced!

"But Boss Jia, I'm not going to praise her. I might only give her a compliment when I know it's finally done..." Li An's words were tantamount to teaching him or cultivating Li Yan, and doing it in advance with Jia Hongjian. a report.Regarding this, Jia Hongjian nodded, "Well, that's fine, I understand. You can just manage it according to your method. I believe in you and support you. An actor like her always has to go through Only through tempering can one succeed..."

Anyway, Jia Hongjian didn't feel distressed. Although the two had a good relationship, on the one hand he couldn't see the scene over there, and on the other hand, he and Li Kuang were not in that kind of boyfriend-boyfriend relationship, so he really wouldn't be in a relationship. Distressed or something.Besides, kindness does not command soldiers, if he, the leader, loves this and that at every turn, and then tells them not to sharpen, who is good for it?

After Li An almost finished his report here, Jia Hongjian suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Lao Li, I'm going to ask you to shoot "Tang Xuanzang's Magical Journey", which actor do you think is better? What kind of actors do the protagonists need? I can help you get in touch with them in advance and do pre-production preparations..." That's right!Although the entire script has not yet been released, the outline of the plot has been released, and Rowling is also helping to write a spin-off novel.Under such circumstances, it is indeed possible to start the preliminary preparations, such as setting the schedule of the actors and so on.

"Ah? This? Hiss..." Li An hesitated.He, Lao Li, is not such a planned person. If he really had a plan, he would not stay at home for another six years.He basically just thinks about the feeling he wants before doing things, and doesn't know what details he wants.So, this led to a result. The martial arts routines that Yuan Heping thought of in advance may not even be what Li An wanted, but Li An just didn't say what he wanted in advance, and he only said a rough idea. A general idea of ​​the concept, and when Yuan Heping wants to discuss with him how to refine the concept and idea into actions, he doesn't do it!Of course, most of the actions designed by Yuan Heping will still be adopted in the end, but a small part is always changed, which also increases the number of ng times to a certain extent.For such an Ang Lee, let him figure out in advance what actor he wants, he really can't do it.But the question in front of him was Jia Hongjian, a person who made him unable to resist or refuse...

So after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Mr. Jia, I haven't had time to think about this, or I will tell you after I think about it? Or if you see any actors that you think are suitable, tell me, and I will take a look at them Appropriate or not?"

"Okay, then I'll first think about who is suitable." As a result, Jia Hongjian naturally refused to let him accept such a job directly! (To be continued..)
