Chapter 166 Director Tian Has Opinions About You

Because the post-production special effects were not done, Xia Rubing couldn't understand it either.

She was just shocked by Xu Lang's murderous aura, ten lives were dealt with in five seconds, and the guns greeted her neck and head.

If she sees the scene where hundreds of people are killed, she will be even more shocked.

The soul-breaking gun has never been shot in vain, and it never needs to be replenished. This is Xu Lang's style of shooting Sha Zilong.

Firstly, Sazilong is a pragmatist, he is a bodyguard, and all he encounters are desperadoes.

Secondly, Xu Lang is a little tired of similar kung fu movies, and wants to beat foreigners to incite the audience's emotions to earn box office, and also wants to advocate that the benevolent is invincible, and forcefully display the pathetic Confucianism.

It's like you slap me in the face in public, and I throw stones into your garden, and then say, peace is the most important thing for us.

In a messy world, everyone is a bloodthirsty beast.

When you go to the battlefield and take up weapons, you will die or I will die. When foreigners shoot and fire, they will not show mercy.

After filming Xu Lang's scene, it was already night.

There was only the last scene left, Zhao Xiaoyang drove Wu Dalong and Shi Shi over ahead of time, and also brought Xu Mama and Xu Yaya, she also had a part in the scene tonight.

It is estimated that I will have to work overtime until 12 o'clock at night. Fortunately, Xu Lang usually handles the relationship well, and the staff does not have too many complaints, and the night scene is tense and exciting.

While eating lunch, Wu Dalong came over and squatted down to smoke.

"Did you say that in the new play, actresses are not allowed to bring their agents into the crew?"

Xu Lang picked up his meal and asked, "I said so, what's the matter, Brother Long."

"why?"

"Except for Tang Wei, I think it's very difficult for them to meet my requirements. With an agent, they can't make a good show."

"They are all young idol actors, and the manager is very serious about them. How can it be impossible to not let them join the group?"

"If they don't agree, I'll replace them."

"Except for Tang Wei who is freelance, Zhang Yinxue who belongs to Huatian, and Lin Yun and Zhou Qiong who belong to Light and Shadow, you can't afford to offend them. Now Tian Dong has a lot of opinions on you. He thinks that you are a new director and don't know the heights of heaven and earth."

"Did he call you?"

"I made the phone call myself."

"Then what should we do, he doesn't want to shoot the show well?"

"It's almost enough, don't offend people, they are all big bosses behind them."

"I'll go talk about it another day. If it really doesn't work, I really have to change people. I'm communicating well with Sister Deng now, so I don't necessarily need local actors."

Shi Shi walked over and said, "You...why are you so stubborn? Can you provoke Tian Dong? Their company has the strongest distribution ability. No matter how good the film is, what's the use if the film cannot be sold?"

"There are a lot of publishers, as long as the work is good and the audience likes it, that's fine."

"It's not as simple as you think." Wu Dalong said.

Xu Lang's insistence on the principle is very good, but Wu Dalong compromised too much when filming the film, which resulted in the quality not passing the standard. Up to now, the investor of the second film has not been finalized, and the script has not yet been written.

Although the investor in the first film also made some money, it did not meet people's expectations, and the motivation for further investment was not enough, so the risk was very high.

In the entertainment circle, you must not offend the big bosses. Even someone with a status like Master Xing has been scolded, let alone Xu Lang.

Most audiences have low taste and conform to the crowd. If you get paid to give you bad reviews and low scores, it will be a headache.

"Let's talk about it, it's still early, if the manager doesn't interfere with the filming, it's fine." Xu Lang replied helplessly.

Sister Deng's review is estimated to be at least half a month.

Wu Dalong and Shi Shi looked at each other, then shook their heads helplessly. Xu Lang had managed to survive so far, if he was blocked by the boss, he would lose a lot of head resources.

If the big director asked so, it can actually be discussed, mainly because Xu Lang's weight is too light.

Of course, if it's a great director, those managers wouldn't dare to force him.

The domestic film and television industry has no contract spirit at all. Originally, actors signed a contract with the producer, and after getting the money, they had to fully obey the director's instructions.

But the current situation is that whoever has a high status and who has a backer has the right to speak.

A lot of new directors’ filming is not good, not because he doesn’t have the ability, but because the actors changed the script on the spot, and even directed the director to shoot the film, and in the end it was a mess.

If these actors think they are experienced, they can invest or raise funds to become directors themselves.

But in fact, they just feel good about themselves, they don't have the ability.

Pushing is nothing more than showing off your muscles and your status.

Xu Lang must control all the initiative, because this is his work, if it is rotten, the audience will only scold him.

……

In the man-made Old Summer Palace, a raging fire has already ignited. The fidelity of the flames in the later stage is limited, and the cost of special effects is high. It is more cost-effective to take close-up shots.

There are more than a dozen shots in this group, with different lengths, and they must be shot before the model of the tree house is burned to ashes.

Sha Zilong rode a war horse, searched for the whereabouts of the little pigeon in the Old Summer Palace, and fought with the foreigners. The gunshots were loud and tragic.

He was shot twice, and Tiefutu's armor was also deformed. The horse was shot three times in the head and twice in the neck. Finally, he couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground with his eyes open, bleeding from his nostrils, and he was dying.

The coalition soldiers were very loose and had been searching around, in a state of confusion, beating and shooting at each other.

Most of them retreated, and were defeated by Sand Dragon one by one, beheading forty or fifty.

Sha Zilong knelt down, touched the horse lying in a pool of blood, and said, "Old friend, wait for me."

After speaking, he picked up the deformed helmet and put it on, then raised his gun and continued to search.

"Drive...drive...drive..."

Three horses rushed in from behind, jumped over the small fire, and rushed towards the sand dragon. Three stuntmen came down, and the actors mounted their horses to pose for pictures.

Those who rushed to help were Wang Sansheng, the old man Sun, and the drug seller.

"What are you doing here?" Sazilong asked.

"Like your soul-breaking gun and kill foreigners." Elder Sun said.

The two of them actually didn't dare to come. Those who were provoked by the drug seller were martial idiots. They were itching to think that the soul-breaking gun might be lost.

Unexpectedly, in the end they also died in the sea of ​​fire along with Sha Zilong.

"Hey, this can't be learned in a day." Sha Zilong laughed.

"As much as you can learn." Elder Sun said generously.

Sand Dragon nodded, brandished his long spear, plunged it into the fire, swept out the burning slag and flew towards the foreigners, rushing to fight.

In the military room, Xu Yaya has already entered the play. The Fifth Junior Sister played by Shi Shi has loose hair, holds a spear, and is covered in blood to protect her.

And her husband, the fourth junior brother played by Wu Dalong, was already dead when he appeared on the stage, lying on a pile of coalition corpses and shot several times in his body.

In real history, there were more than 300 defenders, eunuchs, court ladies, craftsmen, and concubines in total.

"You are beautiful and braver than a man. Put down your arms and I will spare you." The coalition commander said with a pistol.

"Bah..." Shi Shi spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Bye!" The coalition commander raised his pistol.

Shi Shi threw the iron spear, but was easily dodged because of exhaustion.

Just when the opponent was about to shoot, a cold iron gun shot in through the window, cut off one of his hands, and nailed it to the wall.

Of course, this shot requires post-processing special effects.

"Crack, it's over, the next scene, Xu Yaya is going to... Action."

At this time, Xu Yaya's acting skills exploded, and she rushed forward bravely, biting the leg of the commander of the coalition army, biting tightly, her eyes were full of resentment, but she didn't let go.

The other party screamed fiercely, hitting her weak back with his fist, but still did not let go.

Sha Zilong broke in through the window, drew out his iron gun and gave a handsome sweep, the commander's head fell to the ground.

Without hesitation, he took the pigeon and threw it out. The drug seller caught her and was about to ride away.

A large number of soldiers rushed over when they heard the gunshots, and she looked back at Sazilong, whom she had admired for a long time.

"Kaka...Chen Ge, where are your tears?" Liu Bo said.

"I'm sorry, director, the time is too short, I didn't cry." Chen Ge said nervously.

It's past eleven o'clock now, and this is the last shot.

More than 100 people are waiting to call it a day.

"Chen Ge brewed for a minute, put eye drops on her, started throwing Yaya, and then did it again." Xu Lang shouted.

"Yaya, aren't you tired?" Chen Ge asked apologetically.

"It's okay, sister, I'm fine, don't be nervous, I will cooperate with you." Xu Yaya replied.

Xu Lang's mother felt distressed when she saw her granddaughter being tortured like this, surrounded by fire. It was the first time she knew that filming was so hard, but her son was like this every day.
