Chapter 84 Nothing to admit
Shao Yingxiong only five days after entering the crew, he found that he had gained some gray hair. The torment when filming "Don't Talk to Strangers" came back. What made him suffer from insomnia all night was not the feeling of filming, but the accuracy of acting.
Movies are too tormenting, especially movies with tight rhythms. This is completely different from shooting TV series. Once a storyboard is taken during the shooting, the cruelty is not a single point. Divide the shot that should be one shot into multiple shots, and then piece together to the same time period through editing. This shooting technique requires a high level of accuracy for the actor's performance. No matter where the last shot stops, during shooting, you must make your face perfectly connected with the moment of the last shot switch, which requires too high accuracy. For example, when the old man played by Feng Suifan fell from the second floor, Shao Yingxiong took pictures from 7 am to twelve to twelve to forty noon, because there was a storyboard in the middle.
Wei Jiahui was too cruel. He regarded Shao Yingxiong as the beautiful jade in his sculptor's hand. No flaws were allowed to appear during the carving, otherwise he would start over immediately. After five days of shooting, Wei Jiahui became familiar with Shao Yingxiong, and spoke in a slight polite manner. He even opened his mouth: "Do you want box office? You can almost connect perfectly. Why don't you continue to work hard?"
Under Wei Jiahui's guidance, Shao Yingxiong developed a special skill, that is, he could still smile in the last second. As long as Wei Jiahui shouted out the word "', Shao Yingxiong, who was like conditioned reflex, would immediately get into the role! The whole person was so that Wei Jiahui could only rely on one look to express his anger. For example, in "Accident", Mei Ling (woman) taught the old man to lie, Shao Yingxiong almost swept his eyes and acted out his anger, without any expression on his face.
Thanks to Wei Jiahui, the way he taught Shao Yingxiong's performance is very simple, that is, to scare people. Don't Shao Yingxiong have many workers? Then use one eye to let these people know that they have done something wrong. If you appear in front of them, their expressions are respect rather than fear. Then you fail. So Shao Yingxiong began to practice his eyes in the crew crazy, and he was helpless in watching the crew: "Brother Shao, what are you doing? You are so stunned for me..."
In addition, Wei Jiahui also asked Shao Yingxiong to practice how to express melancholy with a dull face. He placed a chair downstairs of the hotel while the crew was resting, so he asked Shao Yingxiong to sit on the chair to practice expression. If no one ran back and forth between the worker at the door, he went up and asked, "Brother Shao, what's wrong with you?" Then you, Shao Yingxiong, would definitely not be considered successful.
Of course, there are also. For example, how to practice guilt with dodging eyes; how to use one move to show sudden regret; how to show resentment in the method of pinching cigarette butts...
Shao Yingxiong became Wei Jiahui's woven bag, and he put everything he knew about the movie performance.
Wei Jiahui has his own selfish intentions. He fell in love with "The Embroidered Chun Dao" and wanted to have a good relationship with Shao Yingxiong when filming "Accident", and then use Shao Yingxiong's team to film "The Embroidered Chun Dao" because a good team will definitely not be cultivated in a short period of time. Wei Jiahui knows this very well.
During this time, Tang Wei was always arranged next to Shao Yingxiong's room. Wei Jiahui gave Tang Wei only one task, that is, to take advantage of all the time in the crew to fall in love with Shao Yingxiong.
Wei Jiahui did not explain whether this "love" was in or outside the play. He did not explain that Shao Yingxiong was about to become his father. He was just waiting quietly, waiting for Tang Wei to become friends with Shao Yingxiong with the purpose of "love". Only in this way can we film the scenes about memories when the two of us are together.
This is Wei Jiahui's cleverness. He should not perform too fake shots, and even ask Shao Yingxiong not to have extra expressions and actions when playing the role of monitoring Wu Zhenyu. Taking notes is taking notes, eavesdropping is eavesdropping, and analyzing the other party's dialogues should not give too much doubts. Just simply.
In "Dark War", Du Qifeng made this request to Andy Lau, and vomited blood if he vomited blood. Don't look like he was hurt, so when Andy Lau vomited blood to Meng Jiahui, he just said "I'm sorry" expressionlessly.
During the filming of the entire movie, Shao Yingxiong also learned a trick from Wu Zhenyu. It was to use extremely slow facial expressions to express pain. When they filmed Wu Zhenyu's scenes of going to the corridor to beat Shao Yingxiong, Wu Zhenyu, who liked to use extreme facial features to express emotions, played this trick very beautifully, and highlighted the role of insurance agents in an introverted environment in the whole group.
In the corridor, Wu Zhenyu and Shao Yingxiong met. One walked downstairs and the other walked upstairs. The moment they met at the corner of the stairs, Wu Zhenyu knocked Shao Yingxiong to the ground with a punch.
After Shao Yingxiong fell down, he slowly got up. Wu Zhenyu slowly raised his eyebrows and twitched the corners of his mouth. Tears flowed down his completely twisted cheeks. He slowly raised his eyebrows and made saliva stick between his lips like thin lines. Even Shao Yingxiong, who was playing with Wu Zhenyu, was in pain for him, especially when he asked in the slightest tone under such a large expression: "Why do you want to harm me?" At the moment of this line, it seemed that the whole world had collapsed. It was Shao Yingxiong who personally destroyed Wu Zhenyu's world.
At that second, Shao Yingxiong was really afraid to look at Wu Zhenyu's eyes. He was too sad. Even if he looked at it more, he was afraid of hurting him. Shao Yingxiong could only dodge his face to the side of the corridor against the wall, while using his hands to touch his face, ashamed and guilty. His whole mood was completely forced out by Wu Zhenyu, and Shao Yingxiong didn't even play it.
"Why do you want to harm me!!!"
Wu Zhenyu suddenly shouted when he was extremely excited, and then he began to explode, punching Shao Yingxiong randomly, and every stroke was a random blow.
This is a real fight. Shao Yingxiong was beaten and squatted down. Wu Zhenyu stopped and used great force to fight when the camera could not capture Shao Yingxiong, but gently fell on Shao Yingxiong.
The end of this scene was when Wu Zhenyu left. After beating Shao Yingxiong, he turned around dullly and walked down the stairs. He muttered like a lunatic: "Why do you want to harm me...Why do you want to harm me..." It's endless.
This scene was highly praised by Wei Jiahui. Wu Zhenyu performed it very well, and even Shao Yingxiong was driven very well by him, so he deserves to praise it.
"Sorry, I didn't hurt you when I filmed the film, did I hurt you?" Wu Zhenyu came over to apologize very cordially, and helped Shao Yingxiong slap the dust on his body and said, "Your muscles are very hard, and my hands are sore that I hit them."
What can Shao Yingxiong say? Apart from the awkward smile, it is not appropriate to say anything.
"Xiao Shao, let him invite you to have a meal. This kind of person is the most hateful. He will be so good after beating him." Wei Jiahui was in a very good mood after filming this scene and started joking.
Shao Yingxiong took the opportunity to say, "I'd better invite it. I'm the host in the capital. I'll be looking for Brother Zhenyu to have a meal next time I go to Xiangjiang."
Wu Zhenyu glanced at Shao Yingxiong with appreciation, and his joking expression reminded people of Liang Kun in "Young and Dangerous": "Let's go."
In the evening, Shao Yingxiong paid privately to invite the entire crew to eat hot pot. Everyone was sweating prone to Donglaishun's mutton hotpot. Eating mutton hotpot in the winter was a kind of enjoyment.
"Xiao Shao. Haven't you shown me three books before?" Wei Jiahui said sarcastically: "How about giving "Embroidered Chunjian" to me? I want to film "Embroidered Chunjian". Of course, the script of "Crazy Gem" is also very good, but I have more ideas about "Embroidered Chunjian". I plan to let him play "Ding Xiu"."
Shao Yingxiong glanced at Wu Zhenyu and felt that the character "Ding Xiu" in "Embroidered Spring Sword" is really suitable for Wu Zhenyu, and then asked: "Where are the others?"
"I want to let 'Liang Jiahui' play Lu Jianxing, and now I'm in the same company, so I can speak out; Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan have not yet decided on it; I want to find Li Zixiong the role of Zhao Jingzhong; Wei Zhongxian has few scenes, and more of them are guest appearances. I want to find Ren Dahua."
Shao Yingxiong laughed. This was simply the Xiangjiang version of "The Embroidered Spring Sword". He said, "Brother Hui. It's not that I don't give you face. Do you know how much investment is in the next drama? It's only 10 million, which is less than our "Accident". According to your lineup requirements, the pay for the Xiangjiang boss is not too angry. A 10 million yuan investment may not even be invited by Liang Jiahui." Shao Yingxiong is telling the truth. Liang Jiahui is a recognized acting school in the Xiangjiang circle. He can play whatever role he is. He is born with a calmness under the camera. A movie actor who can act in dramas, comedy films, black-gang films and has won good box office results. Will he shoot your drama with only 10 million yuan investment?
Stop making trouble!
"Do you know why I always go against you in this drama? Your performance is not bad, but what I want is to strive for excellence." Wei Jiahui's eyes lit up: "You think. If I invested 20 million yuan to make a big return to Huayi in this drama, the next drama will always care about how to write it on the contract? A director who has already proved himself with someone else's script. Why do you have to continue to prove yourself once before you can get reused? This is illogical."
Shao Yingxiong nodded. Wei Jiahui was so concerned about "Accident", which was obviously a journey for himself in the future. As long as the box office of "Accident" has good box office results, what contract should he talk about? As long as the investment he wanted in the next drama was not a lion, Wang Zhongjun had no reason to refuse. Don't Wang Zhongjun want to make money?
No one will stop making money.
"How much box office do you think "Accident" can get?" Shao Yingxiong asked. As a director, at least you, Wei Jiahui, have a psychological expectation of your own movie.
Wei Jiahui thought for a while and said cautiously: "My idea is to take 30 million from mainland China and 20 million from Xiangjiang."
Shao Yingxiong made a rough calculation and said, "Brother Hui, according to your algorithm, it seems that he has just returned the money. I don't know how the Xiangjiang theater chain and the producers divide the box office. There are 46 people in the mainland, but in fact, there are only more than three people. Even if the 50 million yuan is all the box office in the mainland, I can only earn an audio-visual product right and..."
Shao Yingxiong raised his head and looked at Wei Jiahui very carefully: "Do you still want an overseas market?"
"That's right!" Wei Jiahui was surprised by Shao Yingxiong's cleverness: "Our movie is linked to thrillers in terms of atmosphere and rhythm to meet the requirements of the audience in Xiangjiang for new types of movies, so I want to shoot two endings, one ending, which will be reviewed in mainland China, and the other ending is planned to be used in Xiangjiang. Didn't You Naihai change it for you? Just change it a little, and we just use that ending, and then take the second ending to the island country!"
Island Country!
That is a paradise for thrillers. If "Accident" enters under the banner of thrillers, it might be able to achieve a good box office result. The main problem is that the two box office markets of Mainland and Xiangjiang have already recovered from Wei Jiahui's budget. In other markets, no matter how much the voters are, they will make money!
"Brother Hui, I'm not attacking you, but if you want a movie to start in the movie market, it's not just about hard work." Shao Yingxiong was telling the truth.
Wei Jiahui looked at Shao Yingxiong and said in a blind eye: "So, I would like to ask you to do a favor. This is your first movie to star in the male lead. You don't want your box office results to fail, right? I was brought from Xiangjiang in person. I guess you don't want to die miserably when you watch the first movie I came to mainland China, right?"
"Aren't you trying to make me think again?"
Wei Jiahui shook his head and said, "No, I just plan to tell the truth, put the ring between you and Du Qifeng on the media. After filming this drama, I will personally copy it to Hollywood to do the post-production. This is why our drama only costs 15 million yuan in total. When it is time to be released, I will let the company reveal the agreement between you and Du Qifeng to the media!"
This method...
Shao Yingxiong didn't know what to say. He himself was very resistant to hype and scandals. But once this news broke out, the bet between Shao Yingxiong and Du Qifeng was enough to attract enough audiences to enter the movie. With the gimmick of "accidental murder" and enough publicity, perhaps the box office of 30 million in mainland China is not difficult. Maybe after the news passed by Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang's box office of 20 million is also possible. Who doesn't want to see what kind of movie is dare to challenge Galaxy's image! Even if you watch it critically!
As long as the box office is released and the film is of excellent quality, the fame will naturally come over without any effort.
Wei Jiahui was reflected by Galaxy. He used the method of hype and quality to grab the box office, and did not make Shao Yingxiong feel that he was against his will because he didn't tell lies, just tell the truth.
Shao Yingxiong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Hui, if you do this, I will offend most of the Xiangjiang movie market, right?"
Chapter completed!
