Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 307 I’m a big producer, and you asked me to be a stand-in!!!

"Fuck, this..."

“Luckily it wasn’t released during this period.”

"If this is released, it will be a huge loss."

Watching "Charlotte's Troubles"

Some filmmakers in the industry secretly sighed at their luck.

In fact, someone in the circle has already suggested this before.

Chen Cheng’s work "Charlotte's Troubles" will be released soon. I hope that the film with the same release date as his can be rescheduled.

However, many people in the industry also expressed.

Charlotte's Troubles Chen Cheng is just the producer.

He did not participate in the directing, production, or starring.

This work is simply labeled "Chen Cheng's work".

result.

When they came across this work labeled "Chen Cheng's Work" at the same time, they finally understood what "Chen Cheng's Work" meant.

Although the domestic film market continues to grow.

Logically speaking, some other films also have a certain market space.

In fact.

The domestic market is indeed growing.

But the influence of Chen Cheng's works is growing even faster.

To use the words of an industry insider.

The growth of the domestic market has obviously benefited Chen Cheng.

Of course this is a joke.

But this also fully proves the horror of these four words in Chen Cheng's works.

"I think it's not bad. Chen Cheng is very kind."

"How to say?"

"Look, Chen Cheng has chosen the off-season. If he had chosen the prime time, all the blockbusters would have been wiped out."

"Well, there is nothing I can do about being slaughtered by Chen Cheng's works. I should work hard to improve my cultivation."

……

"Everyone is here, let's talk about the book."

Charlotte's Troubles is still on air.

Chen Cheng invited the four directors of "My Fathers and Me" to come over.

The project of "My Fathers and I" has been approved.

But not so soon to start shooting.

One is that the actors still need to be selected.

Another more important thing is that Chen Cheng needs to communicate with four directors to determine the filming direction of "My Fathers and Me".

Yes.

Chen Cheng, the hands-off boss, seems to have an easy job, but it is not that easy.

The four words "Chen Cheng's Works" are affixed to it, which means it has great value.

If the gold content in the latter is watered down.

If Chen Cheng's works were just four words, they would not be so highly praised by everyone.

So even though Chen Cheng was not involved in the specific filming, directing, casting... and other things.

But he still has to control the direction of the film.

"I have read all four scripts, they are pretty good, I think there is no problem. However, when it comes to filming, you may be a little confused. The biggest question, I think, is whether this is a documentary, a short film, or even a theatrical movie?"

"My Fathers and Me" is not like other feature films, it is a theme.

"My Fathers and Me" has four short stories.

Four short stories are combined into one movie.

It's called a movie.

It can also be said to be a collection of four short films.

However, if you think of it as a short film or a documentary, then there is something wrong with the shooting direction.

"I can make it clear to everyone that this is not a documentary, nor are it four short stories. This is a large-scale cinema movie. Although the four short stories seem to be shot separately, they all have one theme, which is our fathers. I also know that everyone will think that its form of expression is different from that of traditional cinema movies. At present, there has not been a movie combining four short stories like this in the domestic market. But I want to say that the form of expression of a movie has never been fixed."

Ichiban communicated with four directors.

The four directors gradually understood from their initial doubts.

Even if I didn't fully understand what Chen Cheng meant.

They know it too.

They just need to follow the direction Chen Cheng said.

As for whether you understand it or not, you will understand it slowly in the future.

In their eyes.

Chen Cheng's understanding of movies is one of the best in the country.

The reason why they couldn't fully understand it was simply that they hadn't reached the same level as Chen Cheng.

End of the meeting.

The four directors looked at each other and said, "Do you understand what Director Chen said?"

"Half and half."

"I'm also half and half, but I'm not worried."

"Why? Aren't you afraid that no one will watch this movie? You have to know that the four of us, except Sister Xu, are all amateurs."

"Hahaha, I'm really not worried at all."

"how?"

Huang Bo was a little surprised and asked Xu Zheng.

Then he seemed to understand something and said, "Xu Zheng, you are most familiar with Director Chen and you have worked with Director Chen the longest. Did Director Chen teach you some tricks in secret?"

This said.

Several other directors also looked at Xu Zheng and said, "Xu Zheng, you can't keep it to yourself, share it quickly."

Xu Zheng said quickly, "What special trick? I don't have any special trick. You all know that Director Chen has been a hands-off boss in the later period. Take Lost on Journey 2 for example. It was not shot by Director Chen, but by Director Wu Jingyuan and Director Zhang Lu. Director Chen just watched from the side. Well, it's similar to us. He gives you a direction and then asks us to do it ourselves."

"Then why aren't you worried at all? Do you think you are more awesome than Director Wu Jingyuan and Director Zhang Lu?"

"How is that possible? I'm a newcomer, okay?"

"Then tell me quickly."

"You guys."

Xu Zheng took out the project materials for "My Fathers and I" and said, "Didn't you see the four words on it?"

Pointing at the four words "Works of Chen Cheng", Xu Zheng said.

"alright, I got it."

Look at these four words in Chen Cheng's work.

The four directors need not say anything.

But they know.

If a work is labeled with the four words "Chen Cheng's Work", it means that Chen Cheng has great confidence in this work.

otherwise.

At most, Chen Cheng is labeled as a producer.

……

This is not.

Chen Cheng is just a producer on another work.

This work is called "SPL 2".

but.

It’s not that Chen Cheng didn’t want to label it with the four words "Chen Cheng's Works".

For this work.

Chen Cheng is still very optimistic.

Moreover, Chen Cheng specially drafted Wu Jing as the protagonist, and most of the characters in the film are also played by mainland actors.

The reason why it is not marked with the four words "Chen Cheng's Works".

The main reason is to give other directors more opportunities.

otherwise.

They are all works by Chen Cheng.

This makes people not pay much attention to who the director is.

The director of SPL 2 is Ye Weixin.

He has previously directed not only SPL 1, but also the Ip Man series.

After all, he is a well-known director.

Giving directors like Ye Weixin certain opportunities will also be beneficial to the development of domestic films.

It’s impossible that all the good films can be caught by Chen Cheng.

"Director Chen, we have been waiting for you."

The casting for SPL 2 has been completed and the filming will start on the same day.

Chen Cheng attended the opening ceremony of SPL 2.

Director Ye Weixin personally welcomed Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng simply greeted everyone and then stepped backstage to chat with some behind-the-scenes producers.

Although he is the producer.

But he never interferes with the director's filming.

However, Chen Cheng was free these days and stayed in the crew of "SPL 2" for a few more days.

It is different from other dramas. In general, the literary scenes are shot first, and then the action scenes.

However, SPL 2 starts with action scenes.

One of them was proposed by Hong Jinbao.

He said he wanted to find the feeling.

Another consideration is that the other main actor, Thai star Tony Jaa, does not have much schedule.

He had to go back to Thailand after filming.

After comprehensive consideration, Ye Weixin agreed to shoot the action scenes first.

Action scenes have always been something Hong Kong films are very good at.

This has been reflected in SPL 1.

The martial arts instructor at this time is Hong Jinbao.

Therefore, Hong Jinbao specially designed a lot of exciting actions in SPL 2.

The most exciting one.

Of course it is the warden played by Zhang Jin.

Don't be fooled by his gentle appearance. Every time he appears in public, he wears a suit and a white shirt.

But this warden has the highest combat power among all the characters in SPL 2.

In a one-on-one fight, he not only beat the two characters played by Wu Jing and Tony Jaa to death.

Even if Wu Jing and Tony Jaa joined forces, they might not be able to completely suppress Zhang Jin.

in the past.

Zhang Jin was also dubbed a "gangster in a suit" because of his role as a prison warden.

Zhang Jin also performed well this time.

He was originally from the Yuan family and had very good skills.

For a long period of time before that, he worked as a martial artist and star stand-in in Hong Kong.

He was desperate for a chance.

at last.

The opportunity has arrived.

Zhang Jin made sufficient preparations.

This also made the entire shooting process extremely smooth.

Hong Jinbao also had high praise for Zhang Jin.

Just sometimes.

Anything can happen on set.

I don’t know if it was because the action scenes that day were too difficult, or what…

However, during an action scene that day, Zhang Jin exerted too much force and broke his right leg.

first timing.

Director Ye Weixin also reported the matter to Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng said: "All medical expenses of Zhang Jin will be covered by the crew. In addition, his previous salary cannot be reduced by a single cent."

Although no one wants this to happen.

But after it happens, we should make the best possible efforts to protect ourselves, which is what Chen Cheng has always advocated.

Ye Weixin also nodded, but he frowned again and said, "Director Chen, Zhang Jin is currently in the hospital. I asked the attending doctor, and he estimated that he might not be able to film for a year or two."

"so serious?"

"Well, it's not that I can't shoot a movie, it's that I can't shoot an action scene."

“That’s good.”

Chen Cheng nodded: "It's okay, just wait for Zhang Jin to be discharged from the hospital."

Ye Weixin was a little embarrassed and said, "If we wait until Zhang Jin is discharged from the hospital, the crew will be delayed for too long. In addition, Tony Jaa also has to return to China. If something happens to Zhang Jin later, then our drama..."

"What you said makes sense."

Chen Cheng touched his chin.

Zhang Jin is an important actor in the play.

Not like other actors.

If an actor can no longer perform, it will have a huge impact on a film.

"what do you mean?"

"Director Chen, how about changing an actor?"

Ye Weixin suggested.

Chen Cheng shook his head: "No."

Chen Cheng said: "I believe you have also seen that Zhang Jin's performance as the warden is very eye-catching. Changing actors is a small matter, just a little more production funds. But can changing an actor achieve the same effect as Zhang Jin?"

"this?"

Obviously.

Ye Weixin cannot guarantee it.

To be exact, no.

Every actor has his own style.

Zhang Jin's style of a thug in a suit is also revealed unintentionally.

Change another actor.

Even if you go in this direction, it will never be as good as the original.

"How about this, Director Ye, I'll discuss with Director Hong and see if we can find a stunt double who is more talented in action."

Chen Cheng thought about it and came up with an idea.

……

"Uncle Hong, how is the situation on the crew?"

Chen Cheng called Hong Jinbao.

Hong Jinbao also sighed: "We have switched to filming a drama these two days. I guess Zhang Jin won't be able to return to the crew for a while."

Hong Jinbao is an action actor.

He knew very well how rare it was for a person to have the talent for movement.

Hong Kong has been making movies for decades.

There aren't many who are talented in action either.

The older generation includes Hong Jinbao, Cheng Xi, Jet Li...them.

But now it's basically unplayable.

Only Zhen Zaidan is slightly okay.

But after all, too many talented people are lost.

Although Zhang Jin is from the mainland, he has always followed the Yuan family and can be regarded as a representative of Hong Kong.

When filming a movie some time ago, when Hong Jinbao saw the style and momentum displayed by Zhang Jin, he sighed secretly and felt that there would be successors to Hong Kong action movies.

I didn't think so.

Before the filming of this scene was completed, Zhang Jin was admitted to the hospital.

Chen Cheng said, "Uncle Hong, here's what I'm thinking. How about finding a stunt double for Zhang Jin? Finish filming some of the more complicated action scenes, and then reshoot the other simpler scenes after Zhang Jin is discharged from the hospital. What do you think?"

Just saying this, Hong Jinbao shook his head and said: "No."

Chen Cheng was a little surprised and was about to speak.

Hong Jinbao explained, "It's not that we can't find a stunt double, but the stunt double can't meet Zhang Jin's requirements. You know, it was only after I saw Zhang Jin's outstanding action talent that I designed a series of action scenes for Zhang Jin. These action scenes are very demanding, and ordinary stunt doubles can't do them. Only someone like Zhang Jin who came from the Yuan Clan can perform these action scenes. If someone else comes, they will have a hard time."

"That's it."

This is true.

Not all actions can be done well using a stunt double.

Such as Jet Li.

Jet Li may not be the best fighter.

But to perform action scenes as cool and beautiful as Jet Li's is really not something that any stunt double can do.

of course.

It would be fine if you just let a stand-in take over for some shots.

But now Zhang Jin is injured and cannot film.

If you want to find a stand-in, you have to take over a lot of the scenes.

This is equivalent to replacing 90% of Zhang Jin's action scenes.

This said.
