Chapter 1045: The Martial Hero is Dead (asking for monthly ticket)

Some scenes of “Fireworks in the Daytime” were filmed before the snow fell, and these were the main scenes filmed in the early stages.

Then it’s the turn of the indoor scenes.

There are also some night plays, some sentimental plays, or sentimental plays at night.

For example, this scene on the Ferris wheel.

Wan Qian had previously filmed a scene with some sentimental content with Wang Jingchun, but the scale of the scene was not very large.

Wang Jingchun plays the owner of the laundry shop.

Apart from Zhang Zilii, he is probably the only person who has made advances towards Wu Zhizhen and has not been killed by Liang Zhijun.

The reason is simple: he can’t do it.

The actor who plays Liang Zhijun is Huang Bo.

Huang Bo was chosen to play this role because he had schedule.

Liang Zhijun’s personality is probably that of a bootlicker with a strong desire for control. There is a certain probability that he is not good enough, otherwise Wu Zhizhen would not have to look for a man outside.

It inevitably reminds people of “Sword Rain”.

This is also the script written by Hao Yun.

There is a saying in it: It’s not that you can’t do it, it’s that you don’t have it.

The scene on the Ferris wheel is the most explicit scene in the entire movie, with both a warm and a sex scene.

“Change the angle of camera No. 2 to this angle, use a borrowed angle to shoot, camera No. 1 to shoot the distant view, and camera No. 3 to shoot the close-up of the face. This is the effect I want. Can it be done?”

Hao Yun posed a difficult problem to the photography crew.

The camera crew looked conflicted. It’s such a simple scene, you just need to hug the actress and chew on her.

Seeing that the actress looks willing, there probably won’t be any problem.

As a result, you insisted on just having a quick taste, and even that quick taste was done with a borrowed camera. Brother, are you misogynistic?

“OK, adjust the camera positions, everyone hurry up and move, everyone is not cold.”

After Hao Yun gave the order, director of photography Cao Dun immediately carried out the request.

He was an old man who followed Hao Yun and knew Hao Yun’s temper.

Hao Yun has a plan for making movies. If you follow his plan, it doesn’t matter if you make some mistakes.

He is definitely not a tyrant on set.

But if the filming cannot be carried out according to his plan because of your reasons, I’m sorry, he can replace you at any time.

The only one who can ruin his plans is his woman.

Don’t feel aggrieved, because he will not cooperate with you in the future, and it will not be too late for you to feel aggrieved.

After arranging the photographer, Hao Yun discussed the play with Wan Qian again.

In fact, Wan Qian has been acting very well these days. She is the kind of woman who may not be extremely beautiful, but has a charm of her own.

It’s the ability to perform that kind of cool, charming…sexy vibe.

“Don’t shake the camera, this is your first day as a photographer, Cao Dun!” This romantic scene is divided into several shots.

One is that two people are flirting with each other, and some scenes are taken with a borrowed angle.

One is Wu Zhizhen’s reaction when he was fucked.

Another one is Zhang Zilii’s reaction.

It’s okay to shoot with two people, the key is to see how good the two people’s acting skills are and whether they can immerse themselves in that atmosphere.

Zhang Zili asked Wu Zhizhen to take the initiative, and when the two of them got together, Wu Zhizhen took the initiative.

It looked like they were chewing very passionately in the camera, but in fact, they were not touching each other at all.

But Wan Qian was still a little shy. After all, even if Hao Yun was pretending to be decadent on purpose, he was still a rare handsome man. Coupled with his status, he made women even more obsessed with him.

Fortunately, both of them are professionals.

So it looks very smooth in the lens.

It was just a little awkward when it came to taking photos of a single person.

The photographer held the camera, stood above the actress with his legs apart, and shot from below.

The actress has to make movements and expressions.

Or like Hao Yun now.

The photographer lay down with the camera in his hand, and then Hao Yun rode on the photographer…

There’s no way around it, that’s how all romantic scenes are shot.

This photographer was a little nervous as it was the first time that Hao Yun rode on him. Even his usually calm hands were shaking a little.

Hao Yun directly asked Cao Dun to shoot this shot.

“This angle is really scary.” Cao Dun made a joke and successfully filmed the scene.

“OK, let’s call it a day. Let’s call it a day and go have a barbecue together later.”

Although “Black Coal, Thin Ice” only required 30 million yuan for investment, since there were no special effects and no big scenes, the funds were very sufficient. Hao Yun occasionally acted as a good boss by getting everyone to shoot in the cold weather.

When the staff on site heard this, they immediately stopped feeling tired.

The first snow of the year in the Ice City fell one night. Wearing a sheepskin coat, Hao Yun pushed open the door to the terrace of his hotel room and saw tiny snowflakes swirling down to the earth under the dim light.

The wind was freezing and the temperature suddenly dropped to ten degrees below zero.

The snow didn’t fall for long last night, but the snow was very thick, which was just convenient for Hao Yun and his team to film.

Many scenes of this drama were shot on snowy days.

For example, the scene where Hao Yun got drunk and lay on the side of the road on a snowy day.

It is said, just said.

In the Northeast, every year on snowy days there are cases of people falling drunk on the roadside. If no one calls the police, the police will take them away and they will freeze to death.

The main reason for this phenomenon is that people don’t feel cold when lying on the snow after drinking.

The ethanol component of alcohol has the effect of dilating blood vessels, making people feel hot.

In addition, alcohol and its metabolites have a certain anesthetic effect on the central nervous system, which reduces the skin’s sensitivity to external cold, so you don’t feel so cold after drinking.

There is such a scene in “Fireworks in the Daytime”.

Zhang Zilii was riding a motorcycle under a tunnel bridge and lay there in the snow.

Then an extra appeared.

This extra saw a man lying on the snow. He went over to show concern, but found that the man was drunk. Then he rode away his good bike and left his own broken motorcycle there…

It’s really laughable, but also really scary.

“Did Zhang Zili know nothing about the whole thing, or was he angry, or did he not care? Guo Ke…” Hao Yun asked by name.

“Normal anger is definitely not okay, and complete indifference is not good either. It would be better to add some sentimentality to highlight his hope for changing the status quo.” Guo Ke [Note 1], whose name was called, thought for a moment and answered slowly.

This is not his first time as an assistant director. He had been an assistant director before joining the Young Directors Program.

However, although he looks strong, he is actually a bit soft-hearted.

He seldom speaks actively during filming and always observes silently. Hao Yun hopes that with his rich experience, he can start making movies independently as soon as possible, so he would call on him to answer questions.

“Okay, you can direct this part.”

After Hao Yun finished putting on her makeup, she fell directly to the side of the road.

This scene is probably the most decadent moment of his entire play, he is drunk but not actually asleep.

When the extras took off his helmet, he was lost in memories of the past, with a look of pain on his face.

Borrowing wine to soothe your sorrows will make you even more miserable.

The extras pushed him twice, and then he pushed them away.

This extra is called Bi Gan. He did not show up in the entire film and only had a few lines.

He was able to perform because he had the best motorcycle skills and could ride even on snow.

This is also a performance in front of the boss.

Many of the minor supporting roles in “Fireworks in the Daytime” were played by these assistant directors.

Small supporting roles don’t require any acting skills, they just need to obey and understand what the director means.

Who else could understand Hao Yun’s meaning better than these assistant directors?

“OK, this scene has been filmed. For the scene with Huang Bo and Zhang Yi tonight, you and Zhang Dalei will be the main actors, Xin Yukun, and the others will assist. I’ll watch it tomorrow after it’s finished.”

“No problem, Director, go ahead and don’t worry!”

“That doesn’t sound right. If you’re hungry, ask Zhang Yi to treat you to a meal. He’s a local.” “No way. I’m filming a death scene today, and it’s the kind where the body will be cut up. Shouldn’t I be given a big red envelope? Why are you asking me to treat?”

Zhang Yi plays the policeman Xiao Wang, who takes over as the criminal police captain after Zhang Zili leaves the police force.

While he was trying to capture Huang Bo, he was killed by Huang Bo with an ice knife.

Hao Yun had to admit that for the needs of the movie plot, he had somewhat discredited our police officers.

First, a group of four people arrested two suspects, but they only had one pair of handcuffs, which indirectly led to two deaths and one injury.

It would have been fine if the criminal police captain played by Zhang Yi went out on a mission alone, but when the suspect said his arm was injured and asked him to handcuff him in front, he naively believed it.

“I’ll reimburse you later!”

“Then I’ll take my brothers to eat casserole, the boss will treat us!”

“Bring me a copy when you go back!”

Hao Yun waved his hand and left the set. He lay on the snow for more than an hour. Even though he had a very good physique, he still felt a little cold.

Moreover, he had an appointment to call An Xiaoxi, and if he delayed it too late, it would disturb An Xiaoxi’s rest.

By the way, Hao Yun can also see his precious daughter through video chat.

Otherwise his daughter won’t recognize him when she sees him next time.

Moreover, although his main job every day is filming, being busy is actually his normal state.

The post-production work on “The Martian” alone was enough to keep him busy.

In order to finish filming “Fireworks in the Daytime” in November, he had to let the assistant directors shoot some unimportant shots. He would check them after the filming anyway, and they could also use them as teaching materials to train these assistant directors.

Hao Yun is probably the least jealous director.

He wished that each of these assistant directors could be capable of taking charge of their own affairs.

The movie “The Martian” has many special effects shots, and Hao Yun needs to follow up and provide guidance frequently.

The film is scheduled to be released in North America in January.

If the movie is very popular, it will add momentum to Hao Yun’s Oscar campaign.

“Fireworks in the Daytime” was edited as soon as it was filmed, and then it was sent to the Berlin Film Festival early next year.

第61届柏林国际电影节将会于2011年2月10日至20日举办，比27号的奥斯卡颁奖典礼更早一些。

Hao Yun might become the best actor before he even wins an Oscar.

Of course, it is also possible that there are both, or neither. Whether it is the Berlin Film Festival or the Oscars, it is not something that Hao Yun can control.

What he can mainly influence is the current Chinese-language film industry.

He was filming in Harbin, and people from the Chinese film industry often came to visit him.

Some came just to make themselves familiar faces, especially directors or actors from Northeast China, such as Yang Yazhou, who had just finished filming the movie “Big Sun” to commemorate the third anniversary of the Wenchuan earthquake. When he heard that Hao Yun was filming in Harbin, he drove over to have a meal with Hao Yun.

Huang Jianxin’s film “Back to Back and Face to Face” was co-directed with Yang Yazhou.

Yang Yazhou has won multiple best director awards at the Golden Rooster, Golden Eagle, Huabiao and Feitian Awards.

His films focus on morality and people’s livelihood, and the living conditions of ordinary people. He always sees sunshine in suffering. He can be said to be a person with social conscience and artistic pursuits.

Of course, when others visited Hao Yun, it was impossible for him to turn a blind eye to the local cultural figures.

He also visited some old artists in person.

For example, Mr. Wang Zhichao, 83 years old, was once the director and dean of the Ice City Drama Theater and the director of the Cultural Bureau.

However, it is rare to see someone like Xu Haofeng who comes all the way from the capital.

“Brother, you are wearing too little…”

This is an ice city with a temperature of minus fifteen degrees Celsius. Well, minus fifteen degrees Celsius is the result after the temperature has risen.

Xu Haofeng was wearing a down jacket that didn’t look very thick.

What’s even more outrageous is that he was wearing a formal shirt underneath that looked good but was useless.

You look down on the temperature in our great Northeast.

“I didn’t expect it to be so cold.” Xu Haofeng said, shivering. In fact, it wasn’t cold in the room, it was just extremely cold outside.

“You’ve come all this way, brother, this is…” Hao Yun went straight to the point.

“Begging for alms, well, I want to make a movie, a martial arts action movie, a real martial arts action movie.” Xu Haofeng didn’t beat around the bush.

He felt that the person who understood him best in the entertainment industry was probably Hao Yun.

Because Hao Yun is not only a martial artist himself, he has also filmed martial arts films such as “Sword Rain”.

“Xu Ke is currently filming a martial arts film. ‘The Mystery of the Phantom Flame’ can barely count as one. Why did you think of looking for me instead of Bernard?” Hao Yun was not very interested in martial arts films.

This thing is beyond photographing.

You spent a lot of effort to make this movie, but not only did it not make much at the box office. If you compare it with the Hong Kong martial arts films from ten years ago, what you made is like a pile of feces. Isn’t this just asking for trouble?

Anyway, Hao Yun doesn’t think he can make a martial arts film that surpasses “New Dragon Inn” and “Swordsman II”.

Nowadays, various technologies such as photography and special effects have been improved, but these things are meaningless when applied to martial arts films.

Something made with an investment of 200 million yuan may not necessarily be better than a movie that costs 8 million yuan to produce.

That’s right, Hao Yun was complaining about Xu Ke.

His new film “Dragon Gate Flower Armor” invited Li Lianjie and cost 200 million to shoot, while his previous work “New Dragon Gate Inn” only cost 8 million.

“That’s Xu Ke.” Xu Haofeng expressed endless bitterness in one sentence.

Because it is Xu Ke, some people are willing to invest because Xu Ke has created many miracles.

What does Xu Haofeng have?

The only thing he can brag about is being the screenwriter and martial arts consultant for Wang Jiawei’s “One Bag Master”, and this title has to be followed by “one of”.

“Can I see the script?” Hao Yun has written so many scripts and his vision is clear.

He can tell whether a script can be made into anything by just flipping through it.

Sure enough, after taking the script from Xu Haofeng, Hao Yun knew after a few glances that this old man’s movie was going to fail.

He looks like a loser.

“Take another look, take another look!” Xu Haofeng begged hurriedly when he saw Hao Yun wanted to put it down after flipping through a few pages.

It’s not that he couldn’t find money to make a movie.

He has written several books over the years and has quite a few die-hard fans, from whom he could find some wealthy people to get some money.

But that kind of people only act on impulse and will back off if the movie loses money.

Therefore, Xu Haofeng hopes that people can truly understand his movies.

It would be best to find a rich man who knows martial arts, understands martial arts, and doesn’t care about the loss of tens of millions.

Hao Yun just happens to meet the requirements for a long-term meal ticket.

“Well, Mr. Xu, please do as you please. I’ll finish reading the script.”

Hao Yun smiled and did not refuse such a request. Xu Haofeng’s introducer was Lu Jinming, who was Hao Yun’s martial arts teacher. They had kept in touch over the years, and Hao Yun would personally bring gifts to Lu Jinming during the holidays.

The concept that “once a teacher, always a father” no longer exists, but respecting teachers who deserve respect will never go out of style.

After Hao Yun finished reading the script, he spoke again: “I admit that this script is indeed somewhat interesting, but that’s all. It is simply impossible to make a comeback in martial arts films with this movie.”

This is not something that humans can decide; it is decided by the market.

“I understand. I just want to shoot something to tell people what the real martial arts world is like. There’s no high-altitude flying or fancy fighting…” Xu Haofeng quickly explained.

“Okay, how much do you want?”

Hao Yun is a very utilitarian person and rarely does business that would lose money.

However, fewer and fewer people are paying attention to martial arts. Instead, people like Ma Baoguo, who is hailed as the “Kung Fu King” in the British martial arts community, have taken their place.

In modern society, martial arts are not important.

But martial arts can also be said to be very important, as they represent the blood of a nation at certain times.

So Hao Yun was willing to give Xu Haofeng a chance.

Willing to give people like Xu Haofeng a chance.

“Eight million is fine. If that doesn’t work, six million will do. I just hope to rely on Black Bean Media’s publicity channels during the publicity.”

Xu Haofeng was overjoyed, but still didn’t dare to ask for too much.

“Okay, we at Black Bean Media have invested in this project.”

Hao Yun wanted to roll his eyes. It’s just a D-level project. I will give you this face if you let Lu Jinming pass on a message.

There’s no need to make this trip in the snow and wind!
