In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

At Dali Huangcaoba Airport, Shen Xudong followed the flow of people to the exit and felt the warmth of the southern city in winter...

Not bad indeed!

Shen Xudong doesn't know much about Dali, but he has been fascinated by it for a long time - Ziwei Erkang was preparing to go to Dali in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2"...

This also formed Shen Xudong’s first impression of Dali: romantic and poetic!

I untied my mother's scarf, stuffed it into my bag, and then dialed the phone...

This is the phone number of the production assistant of "Dragon Movie", and it was also given by Zhang Jizhong

After all, Shen Xudong is working with the screenwriter and can be considered a teacher-level figure. It makes sense to arrange for a production assistant to come and contact him!

Oh, the assistant is a man, his name is Qi Xiaolei, not Mr. Zhang’s later wife...

He seemed surprised to see Shen Xudong...

After chatting for a while, Qi Xiaolei couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Xiao Shen, are you really from the drama department?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Your looks are more than enough to be an actor. I think you should apply for the acting department!"

"Ha ha…"

Shen Xudong did not respond to this topic...

Applying for the Department of Theater and Literature was a decision he made before he had any memory. At that time, was he thinking about becoming an actor? Got shit in your head?

Tang Xianzu, Guan Hanqing, Wang Shifu, Kong Shangren, Ma Zhiyuan...

Those who are famous in history are those who wrote scripts, but actors are considered a loser?

After merging the memories, I did regret it for a while...

The daily salary is 2.08 million!

In terms of appearance and temperament, isn't he much better than those gang of young people in prison?

Later, he thought, since actors earn so much, the capital behind them must earn even more!

In this case, why not do capital?

If he can't make capital, he can do something else - after all, he can't resist the temptation...

Shen Xudong asked the crew about the situation, and Qiao Xiaolei just said it was very messy, and then shut up!

In fact, you know it if you think about it.

"Dragon" is jointly directed by four major directors, and the cast team is also from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places...

How could it be so easy to cooperate sincerely?

…

The screenwriters in the team are actually members of the director team according to their positions.

If you meet a director who has a strong ability to control the work, he and the screenwriters usually eat and drink for free without even having to go to the scene;

You can go sightseeing on location or go out to play karaoke with actors who have finished work early...

After finishing the job and getting a generous salary, life is simply not that exciting.

Of course, this kind of good thing is relatively rare. In most cases, the director is just a jobber, which would be miserable!

The screenwriter needs to go to the scene with the team every day. Whenever there are problems related to the plot, the director or producer will come to you.

Changing the plot and lines on the spot are minor, and there may even be situations where you have to tell the new story several times to teach the actors how to act...

What's even worse is that in order to save money, investors asked the screenwriter to rush out a script with fewer scenes on the spot to control the director's shooting progress...

The cost of filming has been reduced, but no one dares to take responsibility for the results of the work. In the end, it is very likely that the screenwriters will take the blame!

The crew of "Dragon" doesn't have so much to do...

But there should be no need to go to the scene...

Before leaving, Shen Xudong called Shi Hang and asked him about the work he and the screenwriters had to do...

Shi Hang told him, 'Listen to the director and do whatever the director asks you to do! ’

‘But I was invited by the producer! ’

‘Then just listen to the production director and do whatever he asks you to do! ’

Shen Xudong keeps it in mind...

…

Most of the filming locations for "Dragon Movie" are in the "Dragon Movie" studio...

Save costs!

The three major attractions of Xixia Palace, Zhenlong Chess Game and Zhennan Palace have been completed...

The film and television city is only two kilometers away from the ancient city of Dali. It is very close. If you want to shoot street scenes or something, you can shoot directly in the ancient city of Dali.

Speaking of Zhang Jizhong's version of Jin Yong's drama, there is really nothing to say about the location!

It’s not like TVB, which is so stubborn that it’s not even willing to shoot outdoor scenes when filming “Dragon Movie”…

He was not willing to spend money on clothing. The leader of the Beggar Clan wore a hat and became the king of the South Campus. How could he give back that hat?

Even if you, Qiao Feng, are Han at heart, so if you don’t leave your hat, you have to dress your sister-in-law well, right?

Okay, you said that people in the world don’t stick to trivial matters, but you are already a king. Should your sister-in-law Azi’s clothes be changed?

No, still dressed in civilian clothes...

Due to limited funds, TVB adopted the Shaw Brothers martial arts film shooting method of the year, with a strong opera stage expression method, including a character's appearance and freeze-frame as soon as he came up, which was used to shape the character's personality. An essential part of almost all TVB martial arts dramas.

They will magically change the plot, often to strengthen the emotional line and affect their own storyline. This is also a frustration limited by their dramatic expression techniques.

Therefore, when watching TVB's martial arts dramas, one is usually moved by the emotions of the characters...

Because they spend a lot of plot telling the emotions of the characters...

"Dragon" is actually not very Jianghu. The core of the story of "Dragon" is that the world is not controlled by others. So what if you are a hero? A large number of long shots can express the insignificance of people and the atmosphere of the times.

Therefore, some people always say that the success of Zhang Jizhong's "Dragon" is a coincidence...

It should be right!

Later, he applied these to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but it was inappropriate - "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was still very quaint...

Rivers and lakes are not rivers and lakes, that is called mountains and rivers.

The rivers and lakes are fireworks markets, flood and drought docks, sideshows, BJ flyovers, Tianjin Sanjia, Shanghai Concession, etc. This is called the rivers and lakes.

The best movie in Sam's heart is "Lotus Contest", the pinnacle of Singaporean martial arts dramas, a remake of "The Swordsman" + "Meteor and Butterfly Sword", a sister-brother relationship, a stepmother falling in love with her son, full of drama, and a villain The introduction of ninjas…

Simply groundbreaking!

Back to the story, Shen Xudong arrived at the set and was arranged into a single room in the hotel...

Not bad, the treatment is not bad!

Single room!

That night I also met Director Yu Min, and of course the production director Mr. Yang Niansheng...

Mr. Yang Niansheng is an actor himself, so he played a role in the film: Abbot Xuanci!

They couldn't say they welcomed Shen Xudong's arrival warmly, but at least they met...

As for Shen Xudong’s mission…

"You should follow Yu Min first!"

Shen Xudong is incompetent...

In fact, he wanted to follow Zhao Jian - Zhao Tianba: 'Huang Feihong, your martial arts is nothing more than this, so many people told me to run away! ’

Zhao Jian went to Peach Blossom Island for filming and was not in Dali Film and Television City at all!

By the way, Peach Blossom Island is located in the Zhoushan Islands in Zhejiang Province, where "The Condor", "Dragon" and later "The Condor" were filmed...

Yu Min is also good. He was responsible for shooting the C group, which is Duan Zhengchun's scene...

"Dragon" has many characters and many character clues. It needs to be filmed in four months, and will be released in December after six months. It is understandable to use a joint director method.

However, Shen Xudong is not particularly familiar with Duan Zhengchun's role...

Still need to review it.
