Director of Rebirth of Xiangjiang

Chapter 661 Relationship Walking, Filming Daily (for Subscription)
"Huimin, Xiaodong, I don't want to start worshiping gods tomorrow. When I come to the mainland, I will do as the Romans do..." Before returning to the courtyard to rest, Zhao Hong held a meeting with the crew and filming staff.

The main thing is to understand the specific situation. In fact, the on-site setting work is usually handed over to the executive director or the assistant director, but he still needs to understand these things clearly, and let people know what requirements he has for himself.

There are not many scenes in the capital, mainly for filming. Cao Shaoqin, the great eunuch of Dongchang, framed Yang Yuxuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, to death, and used the exile of his children as bait to lure Yang Yuxuan's subordinate Zhou Huai'an in an attempt to wipe out his old subordinates.

There is also a new weapon scene developed by Dongchang Fancy Experiment.

These plots are only a few minutes in the movie, and they are not important scenes, the difficulty is not high, he only needs to control a general direction.

Li Huiming and Cheng Xiaodong wrote down Zhao Hong's words in notebooks. Although they are both experienced directors, they are a few streets away from him in terms of director level. They can learn something new from this big guy. Things are a great blessing.

Originally, Zhao Hong wanted to do a script reading, but since there are not too many roles in the capital, and the actors who have roles in the capital are all veteran actors, he postponed the script reading time. Yes, it's not too late to read the script when we arrive at Beibao, Ningxia Town.

On the second day, Zhao Hong's crew started the production in a low-key manner. In Beijing, he basically only spent half a day on the crew every day, and the rest of the time was spent seeing old friends and elders.

It's not that he wants to be lazy or something, it's because there are not many important roles here, even Li Huiming and Cheng Xiaodong are both able to handle it with ease. As for the photographer, although he is recruited by heart, he is also well-known in Xiangjiang. His name is Du Kefeng, and he is a foreigner. , but he has a deep understanding of Chinese films, and he is a well-ranked photographer in Xiangjiang.

Zhao Hong plans to let him be her royal photographer.

Originally, I wanted to invite Lao Mouzi to be the photographer, but he couldn't leave. He is currently co-directing the film "Ju Dou" with Yang Fengliang, and Xiao Gu has also become his photographer.

Therefore, Zhao Hong only met Lao Zhang once in the capital, and it was a bit difficult for the four friends in the dormitory to get together!

Instead, I got together with my classmates in the capital.

"I'm currently preparing for my new movie. Some time ago I read a novel by writer Shi Tiesheng. I felt very good and moved, so I wanted to adapt it into a movie."

Brother Kai is now in high spirits. Last year he directed a film with the main theme, and the box office was not bad. He thought he had caught the pulse of the audience, and it was time for him to show his talents.

"Tell me what this novel is about." Zhao Hong said pretending to be very interested.

"...Many years ago, in a remote place in China, a blind boy learned the piano from his master. The master told him that there is a medicine that can heal his eyes and make him see the sun again. This medicine must be played after he breaks a thousand strings. Can be taken out of the case, otherwise it is useless."

"After the master died, the blind boy broke one string after another, regardless of the rest of his life."

"After years of honing, the young boy became an old luthier, and was honored as "God" by the villagers."

"Whenever there is any dispute in the village, everyone always likes to ask the gods and gods to resolve it."

"Shenshen had a blind apprentice, Shitou, who had an affair with the village girl Lanxiu and was found out by the villagers and beaten up. Lanxiu left angrily."

"Huang Tian lived up to his painstaking efforts. The gods and gods finally broke the thousand strings, just for the master to say that only then can he get the prescription and see the light. However, the matter has an unexpected ending..."

After listening to Kai Ge's eloquence, Zhao Hong knew that this movie was his masterpiece "Walking and Singing". It was a good movie, but it didn't quite suit his taste.

It was just that Kai looked at him expectantly after he finished speaking, and he could only say against his will: "This story is really good, and it will definitely win awards abroad when it is made into a movie."

After listening to Zhao Hong's words, Brother Kai felt very happy. Now he just wants to give up the commercial film (which he thinks) he is good at and shoot a literary film. He just wants to compare with Lao Mouzi to see who has a better international reputation.

After getting together with Brother Kai and the others, Zhao Hong also went to Teacher Lu’s house. Teacher Lu has officially retired now. The main reason is that DreamWorks has set up a branch in the mainland, and the branch manager can directly connect with TV stations and film studios. .

He is now in his 70s and still looks hale and hearty.

"Xiao Zhao, why do you have time to visit me, a bad old man?" Teacher Lu said with a smile when he saw Zhao Hong coming to his house.

"Hehe, teacher, as long as I come to the mainland once, you will be here." Zhao Hong said very solemnly.

Zhao Hong stayed at Mr. Lu's house for two hours, and left after shedding a set of Huashen cups.

During the few days of crew break-in, the crews from the mainland and Hong Kong got along relatively happily, and nothing happened, and the filming of the scenes in the capital was also slowly finished during the break-in.

What I want to say is that Yang Yuxuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, invited Chen Daoming to play a guest role in this movie. His current acting skills are really quite good, and it took only ten minutes for his role to be over.

In fact, there are many cases where big names from the mainland are invited to make guest appearances, which is why Zhao Hong has been going around for a few days.

Zhao Hong knows one thing, that is, no matter how good the relationship is, it will become weak.

Now invite these old actors to make cameo appearances, and the relationship will be gradually established, and his foundation in the mainland will become stronger and stronger.

Zhao Hong feels very speechless about the fact that the capital of the Ming Dynasty in the original version seems to be in the desert, which is totally unreasonable!
This time the scene was shot outside the Forbidden City, and many places were supplemented with special effects during post-processing.

Cao Shaoqin: "Master Yang!"

Yang Yuxuan: "Bah!"

Cao Shaoqin: "Your Majesty Yang, you are specifically looking for trouble with me! Our Dongchang eunuchs have always been bitter towards the emperor. Are you not afraid of losing your head if you slander and falsely accuse me against me?"

Yang Yuxuan: "Eunuchs are not allowed to participate in politics is the ancestral precept left by Taizu (the original text said that Taizu felt weird)..."

Everyone was waiting for Zhao Hong's instructions. He watched the performance just now on the monitor and felt very good.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Zidan has a good understanding of this role, and he does not lose the wind when playing with Chen Daoming.

This is already the second shooting of this scene, and he felt that there is no problem, so he said: "Okay, pass!"

"Brother Daoming, thank you for being a guest star." Zhao Hong said to Chen Daoming with a smile.

"It's not too much trouble, it's nothing." Chen Daoming said with a little aftertaste.
