Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 145 If you dare to hit someone on the set, I’ll beat the shit out of you.

"Director Chen, your words are quite interesting."

Wang Jianlin was somewhat excited by Chen Cheng's words.

But having seen many storms before, Wang Jianlin did not express his opinion immediately.

Instead, it signed a memorandum of cooperation with the crew of "October Victoria".

This memorandum is not a real contract.

He was expressing the intention of both parties.

Although not a true signature, this memorandum is also a major progress.

At least.

This indicated to everyone that the project was going to be successful.

"Director Chen, should we wait for Wanda's response or start filming first?"

After Wang Jianlin left, Chen Cheng asked.

After thinking for a while, Chen Kexin said, "I don't know what the situation is with Wanda, but it seems that they are indeed interested. So, let's start filming. Even if they are not interested, I will sell my car and house, and borrow money from friends to get the last 2000 million."

"Ah."

Chen Cheng nodded.

He thought so too.

Really have to wait for them.

I don’t know how long I have to wait.

Start filming first, and shoot some scenes that don't require Central City as the background.

After the filming, the project is estimated to be completed.

This is also what many directors in the industry often do.

As long as the production cost reaches 8%, you can basically consider starting filming.

Currently, "The Siege of the City in October" is only 2000 million short, so there will be no problem in starting filming.

……

A week later.

"The Besieged City in October" started filming in Hengdian.

Before turning on the computer.

Chen Cheng sorted out the plot of "The Siege of the City in October".

The background of October Siege is that Sun Yat-sen arrived in Hong Kong and prepared to hold a meeting with representatives from 13 provinces to discuss the uprising.

But at this time, the Qing court sent "Yan Xiaoguo" to organize a series of killers to assassinate Sun Yat-sen.

The newspaper's president "Chen Shaobai" organized a group of people to protect Sun Yat-sen.

The first person Chen Shaobai looked for was Fang Tian from the opera troupe.

Fang Tian was originally a general of the Qing Dynasty, but later fled to Hong Kong.

This target person was too obvious, so he was killed first by Yan Xiaoguo.

Fortunately, Fang Tian’s daughter “Fang Hong” escaped and later joined the group protecting Sun Yat-sen.

Chen Shaobai seeks help from wealthy businessman Li Yutang.

Li Yutang originally just wanted to do business. Although he also helped Chen Shaobai, he did not want to get involved in the revolution.

He didn't want Chen Shaobai to drag his son into this.

But he didn't expect that.

His own son was determined and vowed to fight to the death.

Subsequently.

Li Yutang organized a group of people to secretly protect Sun Yat-sen.

In the hands of these people.

There was Shen Chongyang, who was originally a gambler. He loved gambling so much that he became a running dog of the Qing court.

Seeing that he refused to change, his wife Yueru left him.

When Li Yutang gathered people to protect Sun Yat-sen.

Yueru asks Shen Chongyang to protect Sun Yat-sen.

But Shen Chongyang was unwilling.

Because Yueru has married Li Yutang as a concubine.

Shen Chongyang felt that this was a humiliation to himself.

Not to mention, this is to help Li Yutang.

But Yueru said, if you don’t want your daughter to be left alone in the future, then you can just refuse to agree to anything.

Only then did Shen Chongyang realize that he actually had such a well-behaved daughter.

For my daughter.

Shen Chongyang joined the team to protect Sun Yat-sen.

Except Shen Chongyang.

There is also Wang Fuming, a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple. His life is not very good and he makes a living by selling tofu.

When life was difficult before, he had eaten the rice that Li Yutang distributed to the poor.

I heard that Li Yutang wants to protect someone.

Although Wang Fuming didn't know who to protect, he still stepped forward because of the favor he had received from Li Yutang.

Of course there is also the fourth brother Deng.

Fourth Brother Deng was just Li Yutang's driver.

When he knew that Li Yutang wanted to protect Sun Yat-sen, Deng's fourth brother also expressed his desire to join.

Li Yutang was deeply moved, knowing that this time Fourth Brother Deng would definitely die.

So, three days before Li Yutang protected Sun Yat-sen, he took his fourth brother Deng to propose to Achun.

There is also Li Chongguang, who is Li Yutang's son.

He was willing to be Sun Yat-sen's substitute.

There is also Liu Yubai played by Li Min.

He is a martial arts champion and also a son of a wealthy family, with an irresistible noble aura.

But he fell in love with his stepmother, which angered his father to death and the family fell into poverty.

At this point Liu Yubai became confused and became a beggar.

Every time Li Yutang saw Liu Yubai, he would give him a big white dollar.

later.

Li Yutang spent a large sum of money to redeem the family heirloom iron fan for Liu Yubai.

In order to repay Li Yubai's kindness, Liu Yubai joined the team to protect Sun Yat-sen.

Just a pity.

Regardless of the reasons, these little people participated in protecting Sun Yat-sen.

But at the end of the script.

All the minor characters who participated in protecting Sun Yat-sen died.

……

"Chen Cheng, what are you doing?"

"I'm writing a biography. This is the last one."

"You, you, the filming is about to start, you hide in the office and write the character bio. As a co-director, you need to go out and let everyone interview you."

"You and Brother Sen are here, so it doesn't matter whether I go or not."

"You have to go."

Chen Kexin pulled Chen Cheng.

As they walked, Chen Kexin said, "You know that Desen hasn't been in a good condition recently. In the coming period, you will have to take on more tasks for the crew."

"What did Brother Sen say?"

"That's what Desen meant."

"That's...ok."

After thinking about it, Chen Cheng nodded.

In recent times, Chen Cheng has known about Chen Desen's situation.

His condition really hasn't recovered yet.

Not only did it not recover, it declined quite seriously.

Otherwise, Chen Kexin would not have said that.

For the quality of the entire film.

So Chen Kexin put a heavier burden on Chen Cheng.

This also leads to.

After the filming started, Chen Cheng became the busiest person in the entire crew.

This favor.

He doesn't just have to stare at the monitor.

At the same time, you have to put more energy into makeup, art, set design, props, costumes, etc.

even.

For the martial arts scenes, Chen Cheng also had to communicate with the martial arts instructor "Dong Wei".

"Card……"

this day.

The crew filmed a literary scene.

This literary drama.

The story mainly tells about Chen Shaobai, a revolutionary played by Tony Leung, who was captured by his student, Yan Xiaoguo, a court official.

The role of Yan Xiaoguo is played by Hu Jun.

Although Hu Jun’s acting skills are pretty good.

but.

When he met the multi-faceted actor Tony Leung, he was immediately outshined.

This scene has been NGed five times, and none of them achieved the effect Chen Cheng wanted.

Chen Cheng called Hu Jun over. "Teacher Hu Jun, the character you play, Yan Xiaoguo, cannot just show your cruelty. Although Yan Xiaoguo is cruel, strictly speaking, he is not a bad person."

"Director Chen, isn't Yan Xiaoguo a villain?"

"It's just that we define him as an anti-character, but from another perspective. Not necessarily."

Chen Cheng said: "The main contradiction between Yan Xiaoguo and Chen Shaobai is the difference in their values. Chen Shaobai wanted to save China with new ideas and revolution. Although, from the perspective of the future, this is right. But at that time, not everyone agreed. Just like Yan Xiaoguo, he didn't think so. In his mind, he believed that using foreign ideas and foreign forces to launch a revolution was rebellion and harmed the country. In history, this is the contradiction between the royalists and the revolutionaries."

"So, in your rivalry with Chen Shaobai, you don't use cruelty to deal with him, but use your different ideas to create a kind of ideological impact. In addition, for you, although Chen Shaobai is the teacher of the character you play. However, Yan Xiaoguo respects this teacher on the one hand, but also looks down on this teacher on the other. Why is this? Because Chen Shaobai keeps shouting revolutionary slogans, but he faints when he sees blood. He faints with blood."

"It takes ten years for a scholar to rebel. In Yan Xiaoguo's eyes, he didn't believe that the so-called revolution launched by Chen Shaobai could save the country."

Chen Cheng's writing attribute reached 80 points.

With 80 attribute points fully activated, this kind of acting made Hu Jun nod his head from time to time.

"How about it?"

"Director Chen, let me try again."

Hu Jun felt as if something had suddenly dawned on him.

Chen Cheng nodded: "Okay, let's do it again."

set.

Yan Xiaoguo, played by Hu Jun, slowly walked up to Chen Shaobai, played by Tony Leung, with food in his hands.

"Sir, it's been a whole day and night, and you haven't eaten, drunk, or spoken."

Hu Jun walked slowly and spoke very gently.

This character is actually a person who respects teachers very much.

"Your stomach is not in good condition, and the students are very worried."

Then Mr. Hu took out another bottle of wine and said, "This is your favorite Fenjiu. I brought it specially from Shanxi for you."

But Chen Shaobai, who had been captured, snorted coldly: "I'm full, so you can send me on my way."

But Mr. Hu shook his head: "You are my mentor, I will remember this."

Hu Jun untied Chen Shaobai: "Once a teacher, always a father."

However, Chen Shaobai did not accept Hu Jun's respect for teachers. He looked at Hu Jun and said, "Yan Xiaoguo, do you still remember the comments I gave you when you graduated?"

"Excellent in schoolwork."

Listening to Chen Shaobai's comments, Hu Jun smiled.

as if.

He returned to the school where he studied.

But Chen Shaobai's words were not favorable. He then said, "He is a foolish man, and it is difficult for him to be a great talent."

Despite this evaluation, Yan Xiaoguo still calmly replied: "Sir, you have wronged me. You think I am a lackey who only knows how to be respectful and obedient to the court. I am not. I dare to ask, the country has been bullied, but in the end, what did the foreign devils give you? In addition to years of war and the people's miserable lives, what else did they give you?"

Chen Shaobai said: "Human rights are granted by nature, and everyone is born equal. But why are some people born to be masters, and even given the title of Son of Heaven? And others are born to be slaves."

Yan Xiaoguo said righteously: "The imperial power is a gift from heaven, and it has always been so."

Chen Shaobai stood up and said, "Xiaoguo, you received a Western education. You are not willing to open your eyes and take a look at our world. This world is very big, much bigger than you think."

Yan Xiaoguo disagreed: "It is precisely because students have received Western education that they can see clearly that all foreigners have evil intentions..."

"Card……"

For this scene, all the lines were reviewed in one go.

Chen Cheng shouted "Cut" and cheered loudly.

"it is good."

"Pass."

“This one is fine.”

Chen Cheng replays the footage.

The more I watch it, the more I like it.

Just now, after listening to his explanation of the play, Mr. Hu completely understood the role of Yan Xiaoguo.

and so.

Just now I was talking with Tony Leung Ka Fai.

Even though Tony Leung is a versatile actor, Yan Xiaoguo's performance is equally good as his, and he even slightly surpasses him.

……

"This director Chen from the mainland is really not a simple person."

The filming was finished that day.

Liang Jiahui, who plays Chen Shaobai, said admiringly.

"It's really not simple."

Several other actors also nodded. "I've heard of him before. He's said he's awesome. When we were filming a drama together, he and our Hong Kong producers would often fight. Before I met him, I didn't have a good impression of him. But during this period when we were filming "October Besieged City", I realized how capable Director Chen is."

"That's not true. Chen Kexin even said that although he was the co-director, he was actually the director. It was mainly because Director Chen Desen was not in good shape."

"It has nothing to do with whether Director Chen Desen is in good shape or not. It's just that Director Chen is too powerful. Today, Hu Jun played Yan Xiaoguo, who was always suppressed by Brother Liang. In the end, Director Chen turned the tables with just a few words."

This made Tony Leung feel a little embarrassed.

However, he has been acting for decades, so this is nothing. He said: "The character of Yan Xiaoguo is very exciting and well acted, no worse than Chen Shaobai. Hu Jun did not fully understand the role of Yan Xiaoguo before, but after receiving guidance from Director Chen, he suddenly realized it. I think Hu Jun will have a wonderful performance as Yan Xiaoguo in the future."

Everyone chatted from time to time.

On the other hand, Zhen Xiudan, who played Shen Chongyang, didn't care.

of course.

He had no intention of challenging Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng is the co-director.

Now he is even sharing the work of chief director.

If he challenged Chen Cheng, he would be courting death even though he was a well-known actor in Hong Kong.

His indifference was just a result of his unhappy mood.

He doesn't approve of Chen Cheng.

But since he was going to film here with Chen Cheng, he wouldn't say much.

But Donnie Yen didn't dare to say much to Chen Cheng.

But for some other actors, that's not the case.

This is not.

During a fight scene the next day, something went wrong on Donnie Yen's side.

"Ahhh, Brother Zhen, it hurts."

A martial artist who was filming a fighting scene with Donnie Yen shouted.

Chen Cheng stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhen Xiudan smiled and said, "Director Chen, it's okay, I just used a little too much force just now."

Chen Cheng frowned and said nothing.

Although he felt that Zhen Xiudan seemed to be really going to fight.

But this kind of martial arts scene often cannot be stopped.

I had no choice but to let everyone try again.

result.

It happened again, and the martial artist screamed in even more pain.

"Director Chen, I'm sorry. I did use too much force just now."

Seeing Chen Cheng's cold face, Zhen Xiudan explained, "I just talked to this teacher. When we start shooting, we need to do it for real if we want to achieve a good effect. If we do it fake, it won't hurt and won't be effective. Teacher, what do you think?"

The martial artist next to him was stunned and didn't dare to say anything.

He was just a small-time martial artist and he still had to film in the future, so how could he dare to offend Zhen Xiudan?

Not to mention that he is an ordinary martial artist.

In the circle, he heard that when this guy was unhappy, even some other well-known actors were beaten.

"Really."

"Since we are going to fight for real, let me practice with Teacher Xu Dan."

In this situation, Chen Cheng also knew what was going on.

As he spoke, Chen Cheng looked at the martial arts instructor Dong Wei and said, "Dong Wei, keep your eyes on the monitor while Teacher Dan and I take a scene."

"Director Chen, are you coming?"

"Yeah, I know some tricks."

"Director Chen..."

"Why, you don't dare."

"Director Chen, I'm afraid of hurting you."

"You dare to hit others, but you don't dare to hit me?"

"Director Chen, this is what you said."

Zhen Xiudan is a person with a bad temper.

Although he didn't want to conflict with Chen Cheng.

However, Zhen Xiudan was furious when Chen Cheng said this.

"I said."

"Come."
