I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 446

  Chapter 446 444. The dragon's downward trend · Qinglong's claws

  Zhang Yimou's words are very straightforward.

   Even outright cruel.

   directly told them the gap with Xu Xin.

   But no one refuted it.

  I can't think of refuting.

  In the past two days, they have followed Xu Xin almost every step of the way, from the preparations in the early stage, to some handling methods and the strength they showed when the filming started...

  Even when they were resting after lunch, Xu Xin would not refuse their request to see the original film, and generously showed them the original film after filming.

  While showing, he was telling his creative ideas.

  For example, why use a gray and white filter.

  What does the feeling of paleness conveyed through the screen want to express, and why I chose a certain one out of the few scenes I shot, and what is the difference between the others.

Again.

  If you just look at the mountain without climbing it, you don't know how high the mountain is.

  Following Xu Xin's explanations, they gradually discovered...the set, camera angles, entry points, and even the expressions of the actors, etc., which seemed so simple at first glance, actually buried so much thought of the director.

  If he doesn't say it, it may take a long time for the other party to understand.

   But after he finished explaining, everyone felt enlightened.

  I feel like I have learned a lot.

  The most important thing is that the person who teaches them is only 24 years old this year.

   Not even satisfied.

  One year old is only 23 years old.

   Among this group of graduate students, the youngest Wen Muye is 85 years old.

  The oldest one is Guo Fan who is 80 years old.

  He is 30 years old this year.

  This age is actually not uncommon among graduate students. After all, after graduating from university, they first started working in the society for two years and found that they didn't have enough accumulation.

  However, these people faced a junior in 1986, and the gap they felt in him, as well as the other party's brilliant resume, inevitably made some people feel a little frustrated.

  But it can't last for too long.

  After feeling frustrated, they will immediately stop being fascinated by Xu Xin's simple and sometimes gorgeous shooting techniques at that time, and once again immerse themselves in the absorption of that knowledge.

   If you can't compare, you can't compare.

  Don't say 30 years old... It's just that some directors in the circle who are 35 and 40 years old have not yet understood it.

  If you have the kung fu to feel sorry for yourself, why don't you learn something from Director Xu or Director Zhang. After all... Director Zhang seems to be quite talkative, and he doesn't have the airs of a big director.

  People leave some things out from between their fingers, and they can make themselves useless.

  This kind of opportunity... must be seized.

  Filming "The Hawthorn Tree" is Xu Xin's most important thing now, but it doesn't mean he has nothing else to do.

   No, "The Hawthorn Tree" started filming on the 2nd, but on the 5th, the crew went back to Yuan'an for a rest.

  Because the director is going to Shanghai for a meeting.

  Expo meeting.

  Time is 2 days.

   Zhang Yimou was also walking with him.

  The old man returned to Yanjing, planning to start the project of "Jinling".

  Early morning on the 5th.

  The two of them set off from Yuan'an in the same car and headed for Yichang.

  Xu Xin's original intention was to take his own plane to fly to Shanghai, and after flying to Shanghai, he got off the plane and sent the old man back to Yanjing.

  But Zhang Yimou found it troublesome.

  Insist on taking a passenger plane.

  The most important thing is that he was alone this time, Assistant Shen and the others didn't bring him.

  Xu Xin was quite worried, for fear that he would be recognized at the airport and blocked by reporters... He wanted Zhang Mo to be with him.

   As a result, the old man stared:

   "She is the assistant director. She still has a lot of work to do while you are away. What do you want her to do with me?"

  At the end, there is a sentence:

   "Can I still lose it?"

   One sentence was blocked by Xu Xin.

  Xu Xin had no choice but to give up.

   While sitting in the commercial vehicle from Yuan'an to Yichang, he thought for a while and asked:

   ""Jinling", I heard that you plan to invite a Hollywood actor?"

"Um."

  Zhang Yimou nodded:

   "Have you seen Batman?"

   "Which one?"

   "The Nolan series."

  The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched, and after the story of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" appeared in his mind, he began to associate the image of John Miller, an alcoholic.

   subconsciously asked:

   "You don't want Christian Bale, do you?"

  Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up:

   "You also think he is suitable?"

"Well…"

   After mixing the images of Batman and John Miller in his mind, he shook his head slightly:

   "I can't think of it for the time being. Maybe I can get a feeling after looking at your makeup photos. But... His salary is not cheap, right?"

"It's okay, not too expensive. We first met when I lined up the "Qin Shihuang" for the Metropolis. The young man is very humble. Later, I met him at the film festival. At that time, I thought he was very suitable for John. About the image of Miller, I also asked him about it. Around the beginning of last year, he contacted me... I have already read the original book."

   "Are you promised to play?"

"Um."

  Zhang Yimou agreed:

   "I agreed last year, but the difficulty now lies in the salary."

   Speaking of this, there was a hint of emotion in his eyes:

   "Hollywood pay...too expensive."

   "How much does he offer?"

   "9 million dollars. Converted..."

   "Sixty-five to six million."

  Xu Xin directly reported the number.

  But I have some doubts:

"No, isn't he a Hollywood superstar? "Batman" has a good reputation, especially the second one. He actually only has 9 million? I remember he won something with "Batman"...Saturn is the most Best actor award?"

   "Fortunately, it wasn't the Golden Globes or the Oscars. Otherwise, the price would have tripled at least. So I can accept this price. After I go back and confirm the film project with Weiping, I will sign the contract."

  When Zhang Weiping was mentioned, Xu Xin frowned.

   thought for a while, and said:

   "Just one Bell is more than 60 million... I won't mention Thirteen, they are all amateurs, and they don't cost much. The children don't count... So he is the most expensive movie?"

   "There is also a Hollywood photography team. And I plan to shoot this movie in real scenes, from churches to the ruins of Nanjing City... It is estimated to be two to three hundred million."

  Xu Xinxin said that this investment is really not small.

  It is also different from "Golden Armor". The "Golden Armor" is expensive, although it is also expensive in the way of serving. And it is said that the investment is close to 300 million.

   But Xu Xin has thought about it for a few years, and the actual cost of this play may not be that much.

  At that time, although the total investment was also said by the old man, it was between 270 and 350 million...

   But what was the relationship between the two at that time?

  Xu Xin is just a fringe figure who has just joined the props group under the Olympic director group.

  A child with no hair on his mouth.

  Being good to you is good to you.

  But it is impossible to let others completely confide in you without any concealment and secrets.

  The amount of investment that the old man said is consistent with the amount of investment that Zhang Weiping said... Now it seems that it is actually very strange.

  Not to mention anything else, from the fact that Zhang Weiping said that the investment in "Three Guns" was "over 100 million", you know that his words are too watery.

  Including asking Jay about his salary in the later stage, and the cost of the song "Chrysanthemum Terrace", Xu Xin estimated that the filming cost of "Golden Armor" was the most, at 100 million.

  One hundred million in 2006.

   Money is not as hairy as it is now.

   is already at ceiling level.

  After all, it doesn't use many locations, and it's more expensive than those recyclable gold clothing.

  But today is different from the past.

  The two or three hundred million that the old man is talking about now is real money.

   After thinking about it, he said:

   "Is that Weiping's money enough?...I won't be looking for financing again this time, right? It's like the farm game made by "Three Guns"..."

   Now it's Zhang Yimou's turn and he doesn't know how to answer.

   Indeed, what Zhang Weiping meant was not to look for Bell, it would cost too much money.

  Anyway, this scene was filmed to highlight Thirteen Hairpins. A foreign embalmer can just find a foreigner who is familiar to everyone to act.

   It doesn't cost much.

   Hire a third-tier actor in Hollywood, and the salary is at most one or two million dollars.

   This is what Zhang Weiping meant.

   But Zhang Yimou himself disagreed.

  It is different from domestic actors who have a lot of excellent acting skills but are depressed.

  Hollywood's capital market determines that fame, acting skills, and film pay are in direct proportion.

  Famous people with good acting skills can of course condescend to join some low-cost movies, but usually it is for transformation, or because they really like a certain script.

   But in most cases, acting skills and pay are directly proportional.

  After the failure of "Three Guns", "Jinling" is his ambitious work.

  This time he wants to take full control and not let anyone interfere.

  But...his ambitious work will use two to three hundred million yuan this time.

  Whether the domestic market can support the cost return is another matter.

  Zhang Weiping has always been in a state of resistance to inviting Bell and the Hollywood production team.

  If I hadn't been ruthless and insisted on not changing it, this matter might have been denied early on.

  So, he didn't know how to answer Xu Xin's question for a while.

   And how well Xu Xin knew him.

   Once I saw that the old man didn't answer, I added my understanding of Zhang Weiping... Thinking with my toes, I knew that Zhang Weiping must be the one who wanted to spend a small amount of money to do big things...

   A trace of helplessness appeared in my heart.

  But this time he didn't say "Why don't I come to invest" or "Why don't you come to my place" or something like that.

   And the reason for not saying it, even Yang Mi might not be able to guess.

  He is afraid.

   It's not that he's afraid of the old man spending money, nor is he afraid of offending Zhang Weiping.

   But because of the consequences of his impulsiveness, he was afraid of causing trouble to the old man.

  It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

   Zhang Weiping's villainous face, he had already seen it that night.

  A person who can poke a cerebral infarction patient's head with his finger...

  Anyone who wants to overestimate his bottom line is simply a fantasy.

  And now, the old man still holds the biggest handle in the hands of the other party. That is the household registration of the three children and Aunt Ting.

  If he is too high-profile at this time, he will directly turn against Zhang Weiping...he is not afraid.

  Don't mention anything else, if there's anything wrong, I'll just hide behind my father.

  Hey, I'm young, I can't beat you, should I go to the head office of my parents?

   Not ashamed.

  Besides, as long as he doesn't break the law and walks upright, he won't be afraid of other people no matter how villainous they are.

   At worst, I will be disgusted.

  But why make others sick of themselves?

   But the old man is different.

  If he really pulled the old man over, he would break up with Zhang Weiping. Then the matter of Aunt Ting and the three children would become a "scar" that the old man was most unwilling to reveal.

  After the scar was uncovered, he might be able to block everything, but he couldn't block the pain that this scar brought to the mother and child.

  Yes, when the scars are uncovered and we start to deal with them, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain.

   But the problem is that what Xu Xin is pursuing now is to bring to the old man a treatment method that... no one hurts, and the scar can be easily restored to its original state.

   Therefore, before the child's household registration, super birth, aunt and old man get their certificates, he will not do anything that may arouse Zhang Weiping's vigilance.

  Because...the villain's inner bottom line, he really dare not overestimate.

   If the old man is silent, just be silent.

  He turned his mind around and said the only sentence he could make the old man less upset:

"But it's okay. If there is any difficulty in investing, or if he wants someone to take the risk, you can ask him to contact me... Forget it, when the movie is finished and I find a chance to meet him, I will also talk to him he said.

  If he is short of money, I will borrow him and it will be over. If he wants to share the risk, then at least I have a good relationship with the Pharaoh. Wanda Cinemas must also be very important to him, so I will invest with him... Don't have any difficulties, I'm here. "

  Hearing this, Zhang Yimou couldn't laugh or cry:

   "What's the matter with you? I haven't considered you at all. Is there any reason for adults to ask children to get "New Year's money" when they have no money?"

   "Hey~"

  Xu Xin is happy:

   "You look down on people a bit. New Year's money? If my New Year's money is divided equally, let alone support the children of a prefecture-level city."

   "If you really have spare money, if you think you can't spend it all, you should do something good. At a young age, you know that you can put a golden body on yourself, and charity is also a good dress. Not to mention the merits of accumulating blessings for your children and grandchildren~"

"Well…"

  Hearing this, Xu Xin was stunned...

  Nodding thoughtfully:

   "Oh, I see."

  Guangdong, Chikan.

  The filming location of "The Grandmaster" - the Golden Building set room.

  Yang Mi stepped on cloth shoes with layered soles, with loose exercise pants on her legs and a cheongsam on her upper body. She looked nondescript and sat in front of the makeup mirror.

  There is no makeup on her face, but the hairstylist is helping her braid.

   And in her arms is the warmth of dozing off.

  Compared to his younger brother's high adaptability to the weather in Guangdong, Nuan Nuan is a little uncomfortable.

   The three months of 3, 4, and 5 are the rainy season in Guangdong.

   Chikan is close to the sea, and it has been raining every day for the past few days, making it very humid.

   Nuan Nuan It's only been a day, and the armpits are starting to turn red.

   It seems to be quite painful, and I couldn't sleep well last night after tossing and turning.

  Yang Mi didn't sleep for long.

  The last time she had prickly heat on her buttocks, she didn't pay much attention to it, and threw the talcum powder at home after it was used up. At dawn, I hurriedly bought a pack. After applying it on the child, Nuan Nuan stopped crying.

  Currently catching up on sleep in mother's arms.

   Sun Ting was on the side with a few props and was assembling the mosquito net on the second-hand cradle.

  The reason why she used second-hand ones was because she was afraid that the varnish on the surface of the newly bought cradle would contain formaldehyde. Although you can also buy unpainted cradles... but Chikan is too humid here, without the protection of paint, the wood of the cradle will smell when it is damp, and the child may not be able to sleep comfortably.

   Cradle, mosquito net, fan are essential.

  No way, raising a child is such a hassle.

   Soon, the twist braid is finished.

  Yang Mi looked at herself in the mirror, nodded in satisfaction, got up lightly, and carried the child into the cradle.

  Sun Ting hurriedly covered the mosquito net tightly, and began not to lie on the side, but Yang Yang, who was half lying and half sitting in the stroller, pointed at her sleeping sister and babbled.

   "Hush."

  Yang Mi raised a finger:

   "Don't quarrel with my sister."

   "Yeah?"

   "Well, so good~"

  As if she could really talk to her son, after explaining to her baby son to be quiet, she said to her father:

   "Then I will go."

   "Go, be careful, be safe."

"Uh-huh."

   After answering, Yang Mi opened the door of the dressing room and walked out.

   Outside is a group of busy people.

  The busy scenes of these crew members gave her a feeling of both familiarity and strangeness.

  However, she quickly collected her thoughts and walked towards the background of the Golden Building.

   Soon saw a few familiar faces.

  Liang Chaowei, Zhang Jin, Zhang Zhen, Yuan Heping, Wang Jiawei, Xu Haofeng and others were all there.

  Zhang Jin was standing beside Yuan Heping, and Yuan Heping, the top domestic martial arts instructor, was gesturing certain moves to Zhang Jin one by one.

  However, the moves are not complete, or there are basically no special moves, and they are just demonstrating how to fight.

   Today is the day when several leading actors meet.

  Everyone came quite early.

   To receive a few days of martial arts instruction training.

   Ye Wen and Gong Er's rivalry scene.

   Ma San singled out a group attack in Guangdong Wulin.

  Zhang Zhenhe did not say in the script whether it was the "organization" of the military command or some other department's siege scene.

  Everyone has kung fu, but in fact, the traditional Chinese martial arts are not good-looking. Because from the beginning, the purpose of martial arts is not to strengthen the body, and the moves that can be used are also killer moves.

  So, the job of a martial arts instructor is to make these moves look better.

  They are going to be photographed.

  Yuan Heping's ability goes without saying, he spent his whole life in movies.

  He can almost be said to be a master of the northern martial arts in the way of presentation in movies, how to fight and how to fight well.

   But in fact, if you look at it according to the martial arts sect and status in the world, Yuan Heping actually has no status in the martial arts.

   This statement may seem absurd at first glance, but in fact, although the Yuan family is a family of martial arts, the Yuan family's martial arts has neither school nor foundation.

  It can't be compared with a "Guoshu Museum successor" like myself who is serious and has worshiped his master, and even more incomparable with the inheritance of Zhang Jin who worshiped his master in a professional martial arts team.

   Of course, these are fake heads.

   But if you really want to talk about the root of Miaohong, whether it is Ye Wen who worshiped Ye Wen's disciple Liang Shaohong as his teacher, or Zhang Zhen's teacher Wang Shiquan... everyone has inheritance.

  Yuan Heping did not have...

   Portals are so weird sometimes.

   Moreover, if we really want to talk about it, Liang Chaowei will call him senior sister.

  Because he only worshiped Liang Shaohong as his teacher in 2008. And I am in 2007.

  Zhang Zhen wants to call himself "Master Uncle".

  Because his teacher Wang Shiquan is a generation shorter than his master Yu Chenghui.

   Zhang Jin is more special.

   If he is brave enough, he can call himself "Junior Sister".

  When he was in the martial arts team, he practiced Chen-style Taijiquan, and he was taught by Xiaojia Chen-style Taijiquan master Chen Chunsheng's disciple Xiao Jiaze. But there is no such thing as a teacher in the martial arts team. After graduating from the martial arts team, he worshiped Yuan Heping as his teacher.

  Yuan Heping and Yu Chenghui couldn't discuss their seniority.

  No way, the master came from Shandong Guoshu Museum. The seniority of the masters of the Guoshu Academy back then was too high to be discussed.

  But to be reasonable, Master should be of the same generation as Yuan Heping's father, Yuan Xiaotian.

   But it's still the same sentence, the Yuan family is not a serious martial arts inheritance.

  Whether it's South Fist North Fist, or North Fist Going to Jiangnan... The affairs of these martial arts people have nothing to do with the Yuan family.

  Everyone has their own opinions, but he is brave enough to call himself junior sister.

   But in fact, if it really starts to be counted on the seniority of the old man, no one in this circle may be higher than himself.

   But...these are all matters of martial arts.

   There is no need to be so serious. After all, when it comes to talking about it, Mr. Yuan's status is a master at the film festival.

   is not comparable to actors.

  Now Yuan Heping is a martial arts instructor, and everyone is just an actor under the old man.

  Grandpa Yuan is taking pictures of Zhang Jin and teaching him how to fight the Jinlou scene. And a Tayan kicked back, turned around, just saw Yang Mi walking over, and stopped his movements.

  He looked at Yang Mi, and everyone turned their heads in the direction he was looking, and only then did they see Yang Mi walking over.

   "Mimi."

  Xu Haofeng greeted first.

   "Is the child asleep?"

  Yang Mi bowed slightly in embarrassment:

   "Sorry, everyone has been waiting for a long time. Sorry sorry~"

   Several people don't care.

  The two children are chubby, not to mention very cute... They are both old men, if they don't even have time for Bao Ma, then they are a bit too narrow-minded.

   Yuan Heping said:

   "Then let's use your tricks with TONY first."

   "Well, okay."

  Yang Mi nodded and started to move her joints.

   "Mimi, can you know Wing Chun?"

  Hearing what Yuan Heping said, Yang Mi nodded:

   "Yes, I know how to fight, but I haven't practiced it in particular, so I can set the standard for the three-fold hand movement."

  After she finished speaking, she put her feet together, took a diagonal step, crossed her hands, and put on Xiao Nian Tao's airs.

   From the Japanese characters, the demonstration of punching, spreading hands, and closing fists was performed again.

  Yuan Heping knew at a glance that the other party was not lying.

   Practice must have been practiced, but it is only superficial.

   After thinking about it, he said:

"In this case, I have three ideas, one is the most straightforward Bagua Zhang versus Wing Chun, the other is Bagua + Xingyi versus Wing Chun, and the last one is after Bagua versus Wing Chun, the two of you are fighting After more than a dozen rounds, switch to each other, you use Wing Chun, Tony uses Baguazhang...Director, you should read it first? See which one is suitable?"

  Wang Jiawei nodded:

"good."

  Following his words, Yuan Heping waved his hand:

   "Stand back, TONY, come on, both of you... Use normal movements first, fight according to the routine, and remember to hold back."

  Liang Chaowei smiled and nodded:

"OK."

  Yang Mi thought about it...

   Three ways to play, right?

   Then follow the director's request.

  Try gossip + Xingyi first.

  So, she made a gesture of splitting palms.

  While Liang Chaowei corresponds to Xiao Nian Tou.

   "Small Nimtou, right... I'm here, the first move is to split palms, solitaire to form a posture, and Qinglong to claw."

  As soon as she spoke, if there were computer special effects, a big question mark could be seen on Liang Chaowei's head.

  What... what?

   But before she could figure it out, Yang Mi took a step forward and came to the front.

Her speed is neither fast nor slow, but the speed change between the steps is very strange. It is obvious that the first step is still very slow, but the next moment the speed frequency of the whole person suddenly changes, almost instantaneously accelerating, and teleporting. Like a tiger, he grabbed Liang Chaowei's neck like a tiger.

  Liang Chaowei originally started with Xiao Nian Tou, with both fists closed at the side of the chest.

  Seeing this grab, subconsciously punched out...

  But as soon as he punched, Yang Mi's palm had already changed its grip and chop.

"Snapped!"

   There was a small movement, and she directly broke the opponent's hand with the palm of her hand, and then followed this force...

  Dragon shape down!

  Bend your knees, turn your left foot outwards, and leave the ground. The whole body goes down through the chest, pressing down on the opponent's arm and rushing straight down!

  It's like Liang Chaowei's arm was unilaterally dropped a heavy object, and was brought down. Human instinct is to lift the heavy object vigorously.

  But when he was about to lift it vigorously, the right hand that was pressing on his arm suddenly pushed to the side...

It is used to build all the foundations of Xingyi Wuxingquan. The so-called "one book can disperse ten thousand plants, and ten thousand plants can be returned to one book" is a horizontal fist. Just like the name of the trick, he quickly leaned forward, and with the help of the power of the feet that were originally bent, he twisted at a step like a flower...

  The whole person was like a screw rotating in the opposite direction, pulled out on the spot, and the fist with his left hand attacked the chin of Liang Chaowei who was completely destroyed by Xiao Nian Tau, causing the middle door to open wide.

   "Dah."

  Liang Chaowei tapped his upper and lower teeth together, making a crisp knocking sound.

   Not heavy.

  Yang Mi pulled back her strength.

  The force was as if the two rows of teeth collided once with their own force, and there was a sound.

  No pain, no itching.

   Liang Chaowei, who hadn't reacted yet, was belatedly aware of it, and smelled the scent of shampoo from the other party.

  The audience was silent.

   How can there be any masters among the "grandmasters"?

Ye Wen of Wing Chun boxing, just like that, was defeated by Gong Erna... he didn't even use the best Baguazhang, but just used a simple move in Xingyi boxing. The combined fist of "splitting palms + dragon-shaped downward posture, and then the green dragon's claws"...disintegrated the entire offensive.

   This is still power.

   If you don't stay focused, this move... will be enough for the opponent to lie on the ground and be unable to get up.

  Among all the people who witnessed all this, Zhang Zhen looked blank.

  His Bajiquan is also a monk halfway. Although he won a championship, he knows the composition of that championship.

   What's more, he practiced routines, this kind of counter-attack moves, except for the Bajiquan routine with his seniors in normal practice, he had never done it.

  So I can't understand it at all.

  Wang Jiawei couldn't see his eyes clearly.

  Yuan Heping's eyes were full of surprises.

this…

  Zhang Jin frowned.

  So strong...

   It's not the kind of showmanship, but the kind that really has a killer move!

  Her master actually taught her a killer move! ?

  If someone dared to teach this in the martial arts team, he would have been expelled long ago!

   Only Xu Haofeng...

Unknowingly, he recalled that afternoon after that year, after he was eaten a pot of beef by a young woman who didn't know she was pregnant, he used Baguazhang + Xingyiquan as a human sandbag as if digesting food after a meal Greeting fear…

  Mom...

  How can there be such a terrifying woman in this world!

  Thinking of this, the thought expands.

  He unconsciously thought of another thing.

  Married such a horrible wife...Xiao Xufan, what kind of life is he living?

  Accompanied by this thought, the image of Yang Mi laughing wildly while stepping on Xiao Xu's face with a bruised nose and a swollen face that was crying, came to mind.

Hey.

   Absolutely.
