A different director [entertainment circle]
Work related
It shows the temperament that I want to show, which is closely related to the following plot stories.
In the script, Han Yuanbin played by Xie Beiyang is a son of a rich family, who has a strong yearning for martial arts since he was a child.It's just that he was born in a family of merchants, and the family is quite rich. The two elders in the family don't want their only child to be involved in the bloody, life-or-death arena.
Han Yuanbin once also wanted to learn martial arts, but was stopped by his parents, saying that learning those things about fighting and killing is useless.
Han Yuanbin's usual pleasure is to listen to books in the hotel, and at the same time learn about the world through books and picture books.The more I understand, the more I want to travel to the rivers and lakes.
The "Xie Wuya" mentioned by the storytellers just now is Han Yuanbin's favorite character in the Jianghu. Like him, he is a son of a merchant and a single heir for nine generations, but he forcibly created his own legend in the Jianghu.
The character of "Han Yuanbin" is characterized by an unrealistic longing for the world, which can be summed up as "the stupid son of the landlord's family".
Qin Yan and the stylist took these characteristics into consideration when setting the costumes and styling for "Han Yuanbin".
In terms of clothing fabrics, they chose top-quality handmade silk and satin, and made a special trip to find someone to purchase from Suzhou City. This was bought by Qin Yan at a high price.
The total investment for the entire "Laughing Jianghu" is about 3 to 000 million.
In general movies, the remuneration of actors will occupy about half of the budget of the entire movie project.
But because the main actors Qin Yan was looking for were all young students in school, or newcomers who had just graduated for a year or two, he kept the salary relatively low.
Even for those old drama contracts, Qin Yan opened them more generously.But the total remuneration of all the actors is only seven to eight million yuan. Compared with other films of the same scale, it has saved more than 800 million yuan.
And the more than 1000 million Qin inkstones were all used in the cost of filming.
Not only "Han Yuanbin", the clothes of other characters are also carefully designed and customized, and the price of each set of clothes is more than [-] yuan.
This is not a small statistic among costume props. The 400 sets of clothes in the whole movie cost millions of dollars.
Although it is not as good as the tens of thousands of dollars in clothes in "A Song of Ice and Fire", let alone the hundreds of thousands of dollars in "My Fair Lady" and "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", but it is definitely a must in domestic movies. Top-of-the-line specifications.
Although the current make-up technology is not as superb and uncanny as the future, but with the specially designed clothing, Xie Beiyang's temperament is well displayed, just like a rich man with no deep experience in the world and a simple mind.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with Xie Beiyang's family background, playing a role like the second generation of the rich is not the slightest thing.
Qin Yan admitted that when he designed the protagonist of "Laughing Jianghu", he had referenced some of Xie Beiyang's own characteristics.
Wearing the same clothes on their body, some people can wear it with the feeling of post-modern art, but some people can wear it with a sense of magnificence. Xie Beiyang is undoubtedly the latter.
Han Yuanbin, who was sitting at the wine table, formed a stark contrast with the group performers who were wearing ordinary linen clothes behind him. A rich man who is well-clothed and doesn't know the sufferings of the world, but also has some naive and innocent images of a rich man on the screen.
Qin Yan praised in his heart: In terms of appearance alone, the role of Han Yuanbin is enough to make people's hearts move. He suddenly remembered a character in "Snowflake Jade Dragon" that was highly praised a few years ago. Compared with it, Han Yuanbin Bin is definitely not inferior.
Although there were not many intense actions in the scene just now, in fact, the difficulty factor was not careful. Xie Beiyang had to temporarily use his eyes and micro-movements to temporarily his emotions.
When listening to the book, Han Yuanbin had yearning and excitement in his eyes.When clapping, go all out, you can tell from the muscles on the back of your hands and the color of your palms.
Qin Yan could tell at a glance that Xie Beiyang had brought his own experience, Qin Yan was too familiar with Xie Beiyang's expression.
This is Xie Beiyang's reaction every time he sees his favorite movies and actors.
Of course, sometimes Xie Beiyang looked at him with the same expression. Although Qin Yan was very happy in his heart, he would never admit it.
It's just that this way of performing is not a long-term solution, and can only be adjusted/taught slowly in the future.
Although he was very satisfied in his heart, Qin Yan still nodded his head reservedly and said, "This scene is over", completely preventing anyone from hearing the true emotion in his heart.
But even so, several young actors around burst into loud cheers.
Getting along with Qin Yan some time ago, they know how strict Qin Yan is.So they also knew very well that when Qin Yan said "yes", it meant that the level of the scene was really good.
"Okay, the next step is the key point. Everyone cheer up."
The following Act 2 was not filmed according to the order of the plot development, but continued to shoot the scene of Mr. Storyteller and Han Yuanbin.
Throughout "Laughing Jianghu", the storyteller appeared twice.The first time was just now, which represented Han Yuanbin's longing for the world.
The second time is that Han Yuanbin has already encountered a series of changes. After he truly realized how complicated the world is, he returned to his hometown and heard a storyteller talking about dramas.
Mr. Storyteller is a specially invited actor, and he is getting older, so it is impossible to wait on the crew all the time.Of course, Qin Yan arranged all the two scenes of Mr. Storyteller on the first day.
While waiting for the field staff to change the interior decoration of the entire restaurant, Xie Beiyang also changed his outfit with the help of a makeup artist.
In the plot of the movie, Han Yuanbin has gone through a series of changes, and he has lost the innocence and romance of the beginning. The character of the character is more stable, even a little decadent and self-defeating.
Corresponding changes have also been made in the corresponding clothing. Although they are all top-grade silk and satin, with gold thread hooks visible, the background color has been changed to a more mature dark blue.
There are also changes in makeup, from hairstyles to eyebrows.
Everyone present was a little nervous, because this scene is the key to today.Continuing to express completely different emotions, the difficulty can be imagined.
Even Qin Yan took it a lot seriously. While Xie Beiyang was putting on makeup, he kept communicating with Xie Beiyang about his character's emotions.
"Remember, at this time you find that the world is not as beautiful as you imagined. You feel very tired, but you still don't want to quit the world, you want to try to change it. It's not tiredness, but nostalgia..."
This involves a change in mood, Qin Yan has higher requirements for Xie Beiyang's acting skills.
"Scene 1, Act 2 is officially filming."
The storyteller is still talking about the same plot on stage, even the camera is scanning in the same direction.But when the wine table was swept, apart from Han Yuanbin, there were two other people sitting on the wine table, namely "Shen Qimeng" played by Xi Qianqian and "Gu Ziwei" played by Yang Zhenhai.
Hearing the familiar story, Han Yuanbin's expression showed a complex emotion.
Now he doesn't believe in the happy world and the distinction between right and wrong in the storyteller's story, and he shows an imperceptible sneer at the storyteller's story.
He even wanted to get up several times to tell the cheering audience that the world is not as simple as you imagined, but in the end he endured it.
Shen Qimeng and Gu Ziwei on the side glanced at each other, they both knew what their good friend had been through during this time.
Shen Qimeng comforted in a low voice: "This world is a place of right and wrong. How can there be so much innocence and romance? Don't take these things too seriously."
After hearing this, Han Yuanbin was silent for a moment and said, "Yeah, how could this world be as simple as the story, I was too stupid before."
At this time, Han Yuanbin's expression was obviously self-deprecating, and he had doubts about many things he once firmly believed in.
This can be regarded as the most lonely plot point in the whole play.
Although it is not as heart-piercing as the intense and exciting confrontation, the emotional changes in this scene are more restrained and more heart-wrenching.
The most painful thing in the world is not failure, but powerlessness.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Gu Ziwei said, "Let's go, the enemy will come after you if you don't go." He got up and took his two friends to continue to the next destination.
Han Yuanbin subconsciously raised his hand to order the servant behind him to reward the storyteller.But after he raised his hand, he realized that he was no longer the carefree rich young master.The right hand seemed to be frozen in mid-air, and it took a while to retract it.
Rather lonely, he took out an ingot of broken silver from his pocket and threw it on the table, and immediately caught up with Shen Qimeng and Gu Ziwei.
This scene is officially filmed.
When Qin Yan was planning the first day of filming, he was worried about whether Xie Beiyang and the others could perform well.In particular, Xie Beiyang's emotional changes in two consecutive scenes are so obvious, which makes it more difficult.
So he kept staring at Xie Beiyang, including his expression and body movements.The conclusion is pretty good!
As long as there is no problem with the photography, this scene is over.
Don't think that this scene is so simple. Xie Beiyang is indeed a genius. The half a year of study has given him richer theoretical experience in acting.
But the success of this scene is actually the result of Xie Beiyang's thousands of practices.
Because he and Qin Yan are still in a semi-cohabitation state, Xie Beiyang can be considered to be close to the water, and whenever he is free, he will ask Qin Yan to tell him a play.
Especially after learning about the shooting task on the first day of filming, Xie Beiyang also felt obvious pressure.
Faced with such pressure, Xie Beiyang didn't feel nervous because of it, but turned it into his own motivation, practicing in front of the mirror and DV camera again and again.
During this period of time, the two of them did not read books or write scripts at night.So Qin Yan privately taught Xie Beiyang how to comprehend the changes in his emotions.
In the past, the reason why so many people wanted to find Qin Yan to act in a play was not only because of Qin Yan's reputation, but also because of Qin Yan's first-rate training/teaching ability for actors.
How many actors can get an excellent director to give him private lectures in this life?
Xie Beiyang's progress is quite astonishing, today's performance is very good, several senior performers who came to watch the first scene all showed expressions of appreciation.
Amid the cheers of a group of people, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang subconsciously looked at each other and smiled.
"No, this one will be retaken."
There was no emotion in Qin Yan's voice, and he directly declared that the performance just now was bad.
Although the filming process on the first day was relatively smooth, it does not mean that the entire "Laughing Jianghu" crew has been smooth sailing.
With the advancement of the plot, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang have not practiced many scenes, not to mention other actors besides Xie Beiyang, like Xi Qianqian and Yang Zhenhai, they also have various shooting problems .
In fact, the actors that Qin Yan took a fancy to were all quite outstanding young actors, at least among their peers' acting skills, they could be said to be remarkable.
But "Laughing Jianghu" has selected a large number of veteran actors with real acting skills, as well as Qin Yan's own high standards for acting skills.
Moreover, in "Laughing Jianghu", these old drama characters are not made to pretend to be ugly or design facial makeup images. You can see through the good and evil of the characters at a glance, and you don't need acting skills at all.
In some martial arts works, the characters have mischievous faces and squeaky voices as soon as they come out, for fear that the audience will not know that they are bad guys.Moreover, these bad guys seem to have no brains, and their behavior lacks the most basic logic.
Especially some high-level villains will always make the audience curious: How did such an IQ become the leader/leader?
And Qin Yan designed the biographies and personality traits of these supporting roles who were not so important in the play, so that their lines, behaviors, and choices became traceable.
When Qin Yan visited these old drama characters, he even brought a biography of each character, just to tell them: These characters are not supporting roles in facial makeup. Although there are not many roles in the role, each character has its own uniqueness .
The supporting roles in martial arts film and television works in these years are really the same. The roles given by Qin Yan are undoubtedly attractive to the veteran actors, which is one of the reasons why they took the roles.
And Qin Yan told them from the first scene that they don't need to stop acting, and try to play every role as well as possible.
Especially a few middle-aged actors, who had suffered a lot in the gym before, suffocated their breath, and were going to show Qin Yan, a junior, their true strength.
So after entering the filming of the rivers and lakes part, Xie Beiyang and the others were immediately crushed.The changes in mood and demeanor of the old actors directly stunned the young actors who played with them.
There is a feeling of being at a loss when being caught on stage by the acting teacher in class.
In fact, in many cases, in order to make the acting skills of young actors appear less embarrassing and stupid.It is a convention in film and television dramas, try to let middle-aged actors perform in a silent manner, and act a little stupid.
Otherwise, when they appear in the same screen, the two parties just happen to be competing with each other, and the audience's attention will be completely focused on the strong character, and the entire screen and the plot will be instantly out of balance.
But Qin Yan is unwilling to give in in terms of acting skills, obviously he can shoot better acting.In order to take care of those who are not good at acting, let the actors with better acting skills take the role?What's the point!
Are you weak? Are you justified?
Compared with commercial films, the narrative structure of literary films tends to be slower.Every look and expression of an actor will be infinitely enlarged.
This requires actors to control all kinds of emotions in place.
Qin Yan has become accustomed to the shooting method of excellence, and is also used to actors showing the emotions of the characters through the lens. It is impossible for him to lower his requirements, just like a person who is used to delicious food suddenly asks him to eat for nothing. Steamed buns, you will definitely not get used to it.
If there is anything bad about the performance, then Qin Yan will definitely stop and shoot again.
If it doesn't work once, then ten times.It must meet the passing line in Qin Yan's mind!
This is the habit he developed when he was making literary films, and it is also the condition for making high-level films.
But in this way, the filming progress of the entire "Laughing Jianghu" was drastically slowed down.
It is impossible to spend a lot of time making a high-end movie in the future.
Because generally a good crew will invite well-known actors to participate in the performance, so as to attract enough audiences, but these actors are all worth a lot of money.
After all, compared to acting remuneration, the income of celebrities will be much higher if they accept other variety shows and business endorsements. No celebrity is willing to spend a lot of time on the set with you.
At the same time, stars also need film and television works to maintain their popularity, and tirelessly join various film and television works.
And this is also the reason why so many stars have obviously accepted the role, but actually have so little time to join the crew.
As for all filming with actors who are obsessed with acting?That doesn't work either.
If no one wants to watch it, and if there is no profit, there will be no investors.
Due to various factors, the actual time for each crew to shoot is only about two or three months.
And not only in the future, even for the current crew, it is quite a luxury to want to shoot over and over again.
After all, every day the machine is turned on, so many employees work on-site, food expenses, venue rental fees, group performance fees... at least tens of thousands a day, these are all real money.
How can a film crew dare to use so many young actors as the main actors of a commercial film like Qin Yan.
Qin Yan dared to spend money like this because of the relatively low salaries of these young actors. You must know that when he signed the contract with them, he specifically noted the issue of the shooting cycle.
The general film shooting cycle is 3 to 4 months, but Qin Yan's shooting cycle is directly written as 6 months to 1 year.
If it were an actor with status, he would have been dissatisfied with such a new contract for a long time, but they are all newcomers and value every opportunity. Even if Qin Yan's contract does not seem to be very lucrative, they are willing to accept it.
In the whole set, Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian are the most valuable ones, after all, they are considered very popular figures on the Internet now.
Coupled with the great body of "Ancient House" and other works, he is the actor with the highest voice in the discourse circle of the entire set except Qin Yan.
However, the two of them were the leading actors, and they were also the actors who received the most scolding from Qin Yan.
There was a scene yesterday where Han Yuanbin and Shen Qimeng met for the first time.
In the setting, Shen Qimeng is a well-known beauty in the world, and Han Yuanbin has heard of her name several times before.
According to the plot in the script, Han Yuanbin thought that he should have a special relationship with Shen Qimeng, and she should fall in love with him at first sight, as the script said.
So Han Yuanbin took the initiative to approach Shen Qimeng to get close, but Shen Qimeng ruthlessly rejected him. In the end, Shen Qimeng couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him, and Han Yuanbin fell to the ground.
However, Xie Beiyang's performance did not meet Qin Yan's requirements at all. Qin Yan got stuck 7 times in a row and was talking to Xie Beiyang:
"You don't like Shen Qimeng, and you're not attracted by her beauty. So your expression can't be serious or lewd. You're not a pervert, you should be a little conceited. Look at her What did you play just now? Are you still a well-fed son? What is the difference between your performance and the passer-by villain in those bad movies?"
"The performance is too deliberate!"
Several times, the surrounding staff felt that Xie Beiyang's performance was already in place, and even on the set they could still smile.But it was still directly vetoed by Qin Yan, and there was no chance of objection at all.
Xi Qianqian's acting was fine, and she acted with Xie Beiyang again and again, without showing any impatience, as if she had gotten used to it long ago.
The two of them didn't refute, they acted and summarized according to Qin Yan's request over and over again, until Xie Beiyang forgot the expressions and movements he designed at the beginning, Qin Yan shouted "pass".
This is not an accidental situation, Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian basically have a day without getting stuck.If they didn't know that they had worked together on "Ancient House", people around would probably think that Qin Yan was deliberately making things difficult for them.
When Qin Yan, Xi Qianqian, and Liu Zhengwen were filming "Ancient House", they had a very good relationship in private, and for Qin Yan at that time, it was a timely help.
But no matter who's work is not in place, Qin Yan will still point out the problem without hesitation.Being reprimanded by my friends, in front of my friends, that feeling is even more uncomfortable.
Now, even if Qin Yan pointed out in front of more than a dozen staff members that there was something wrong with their acting, they could accept it without changing their faces.
Of course, the face change here means that they will not be angry because of it, not that they will be indifferent to Qin Yan's guidance.
Perhaps at first they thought their performances were in place, but when Qin Yan showed them several versions of the photography, they knew by conscience which version performed better.
Qin Yan asked them a word at that time: "Which one do you want to see?"
No matter how hard and tiring they were, the moment they saw the work, they all endured it.
In contrast, the other young actors had fewer roles and were called out less often, but how could they have experienced such a stormy reprimand.
Sometimes Qin Yan was scolding him to the point of embarrassment, and even wanted to stand up and resist.But when they saw that Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian, who were scolded far worse than themselves, were still accepting the teaching with humility, they endured it again.
So Qin Yan fell into a mode of training newcomers, and the entire set could hear Qin Yan lecturing to young actors every day.
In the first few days, Qin Yan was quite patient.Help each actor analyze their roles and adjust their emotions.
But no one can maintain emotional stability forever, especially when similar problems recur, the mood will become more and more irritable.
The same is true for Qin Yan, his voice will become more and more tense, his expression will become serious, and he will even reprimand him loudly.
The middle-aged actors and other staff on the side were happy with this scene.
They didn't take too many film jobs a year, and they weren't the ones being reprimanded, so they watched the fun from the sidelines at ease.
And they are also people who have experienced big winds and waves. They know that Qin Yan's teaching method is actually the most obvious improvement for young actors.
Don't think that Qin Yan is just cursing, but after pointing out the problem, he will also tell the young actor how to solve it.
How to understand emotions, how to design movements, how to control voice...
There are often interruptions, but in half a day at most, these young actors can find a way to adjust.
Just now Yang Zhenhai's literary play made a mistake again, like a primary school student, with his hands pressed tightly to the seam on both sides of his trousers, he bowed his head and listened to Qin Yanjiangxi.
The heads of several large sects who played the role of Jianghu were all watching the show from the sidelines.Liu Tianming and Duan Hong even held their thermos cups and sat on the pony to chat.
With a casual smile on his face, Liu Tianming said to Duan Hong:
"You said that young people nowadays just love to toss about a show that is so relaxing and joyful. Why do you have to be so strict? Sometimes I think it's okay. Why do you think Qin Yan is so demanding? Woolen cloth?"
Liu Tianming seemed to be complaining, but Duan Hong, his old partner, saw through it at a glance. Liu Tianming couldn't hide his liking for Qin Yan.So he did not hesitate to expose the true face of his old friend:
"Come on, dare you say that you don't like directors like Qin Yan."
"Didn't you hesitate when Qin Yan invited you to participate in the show before? You asked me if Qin Yan had some shit luck to be able to shoot such a high-grossing work. Now you know the reason?"
Liu Tianming nodded in agreement, indeed.These days, there are not many directors who know what kind of work they want to make. Although Qin Yan is usually stubborn, many of his ideas are really good.
"I'm still quite curious about where he will go in the future."
Similar private conversations took place among more actors and studio workers. They all have experience with the set, and they often encounter such things as directors and actors.
But they have never seen a director like Qin Yan who treats commercial films as literary films.
They could see that Qin Yan had high standards for movies, and his request was not based on imagination.Qin Yan is always justified, he knows where the limit of an actor is, and he knows how to make the film better.
But the vast majority of directors will eventually strike a balance between cost and effect. Except for some directors of literary and artistic films, no commercial film will be so picky.
Of course, another very important reason why they could tolerate Qin Yan's fury was that when the contract was signed, the contract had agreed that the filming cycle of "Laughing Jianghu" would be relatively long.Moreover, the hourly salary is considered relatively generous in the industry.
For the vast majority of workers, feelings are definitely not enough, and they have to support their families.As long as Qin Yan gives the money in place, half a year's film can be made into two years.
For this matter, Qin Yan had "kindly" discussed with Ding Chang several times.
Now Ding Chang is in charge of Huayan's administration and property work.Ding Chang naturally wanted to find a job in his position.Although he doesn't particularly understand film shooting, he understands film operations.
He knows what the return on investment ratio is, what he knows is the production cycle, and he knows what all kinds of box office splits are!
With an investment of 4000 million, it means that the box office needs to reach at least 1.2 million to pay back!And what is the concept of 1.2 million, at this time no domestic director dares to pat his chest and say that his movie will definitely reach 1.2 million.
When Qin Yan gave him the script of "Laughing Jianghu" at the beginning, he expressed his clear opposition - there were no stars, no basic box office market, and unclear investment prospects.
Ding Chang is telling the truth, if Qin Yan's name is erased, he will never invest in this drama personally.
And the reality is so cruel. After Qin Yan spread his idea of making a movie, no one came to him to invest.
At that time, Qin Yan had already come up with the film project, with an investment of 4000 million, and there was not a single second-tier star. The investors were not allowed to intervene in the actors, roles, and the details of the filming...
Without Qin Yan opening his mouth, these investors left cursing one by one.Later, he revealed these requests to various entertainment weekly magazines.
But this incident did not cause any waves in the industry, why?Because no one believes it!
As long as anyone has a brain, it is impossible to make a movie like Qin Yan.The media in the entertainment and film and television circles all thought this was false news and were unwilling to report it at all.
The author has something to say: I love the irascible Director Qin too!
051 Tyrant
In order to reduce the risk of "Laughing Jianghu", Ding Chang tried his best to persuade Qin Yan to lower the production cost.Even if the film fails, there is still a chance for a comeback.
In terms of reducing production costs, Ding Chang proposed many solutions that have long been mature in the domestic industry-such as reducing staff, shortening the cycle, selecting third- and fourth-tier actors, and so on.
Of course, there are still some ways to increase the popularity of the movie - star joining, gossip hype, insider trolling...
Of course, Qin Yan knows that Ding Chang's starting point is for Hua Yan, and this is the current domestic film production route.
But he, Qin Yan, is not an ordinary director. He prolongs the filming cycle, raises the wages of the behind-the-scenes staff, lowers the lead actor's salary... everything is for the quality of the movie.
If Qin Yan's ideas are spread now, it will definitely cause ridicule in the industry - stupid idealists.
Has any director done this before?Yes, and there are many of them.But the problem is that these directors have all failed.
Because as long as the box office of the final film is not good and the profit margin cannot meet the expectations of investors, then the director will be socially dead in the investment circle.
It takes money to make movies!
It is not a group of people who say "I want to make a movie for Huaguo" can succeed.That film camera is burning money every second.
How many directors choose to succumb to the market in order to invest.
However, Qin Yan did not abide by this set of rules at all, the reason is very simple, he is rich now, and Hua Yan is the only investor in "Laughing Jianghu".
He can avoid intrigue and infighting with those "smart" businessmen.You can shoot whatever movie you want.
This is also Qin Yan's usual style, but in his previous life, he was a rich second generation, and he didn't care about income.And now Qin Yan is still responsible for supporting his family.
He doesn't want this kind of shooting regardless of cost to be just a flash in the pan.Therefore, Hua Yan must survive, and "Laughing Jianghu" must succeed!
In the end, of course, Qin Yan persuaded Ding Chang, he said: "Trust me."
After listening to it, Ding Chang sighed, and never talked to Qin Yan about lowering the cost. He silently worked hard to help Qin Yan form a more efficient work team, so that "Laughing Jianghu" would not exceed the budget as much as possible.
This is also the reason why Qin Yan invited Ding Chang to partner in the first place, because Ding Chang is a qualified producer, but he has not completely fallen into the "money eye".
Put simply, the producer is in charge of all the financial aspects of a movie, and the director is in charge of the artistic creation.
Even Qin Yan didn't dare to be a producer and director at the same time, he was afraid that one day his brain would get hot and he would overrun the movie budget again.
Anyway, under Qin Yan's "money offensive", no staff member would be disgusted with Qin Yan's strictness at this time.
They even regarded the scene of Qin Yan training new actors as watching a play, and their daily life was quite nourishing.
"Yang Zhenhai, come here. This is not how you acted. You can see for yourself what you did just now?"
Now Qin Yan is angry at Yang Zhenhai's performance again.
In "Laughing Jianghu", Han Yuanbin played by Xie Beiyang is a rich kid who simply yearns for life in the martial arts world, while Yang Zhenhai's role of "Gu Ziwei" is a handsome young man who already has a great reputation in the world .
As the leader of the new generation of Jianghu, he is known as the "Jade Dragon Spear", a gentleman is like jade, and a spear is like a dragon.
Not only is he good at martial arts, but he is also handsome and has outstanding character. There are countless suitors in the world.
But in fact, under Gu Ziwei's gentle, chivalrous and courageous mask, Gu Ziwei is a person who is particularly unwilling to deal with others.
At the beginning, because he didn't want to compete with the brothers and sisters of the same school, he went down the mountain alone to wander the rivers and lakes.
The reason why Gu Ziwei wields his sword to the end of the world is because it says in the scriptures that young heroes should eradicate evil, promote good, and promote martial virtues, so he eliminated all the troubles along the way and gained a reputation all over the world.
It is widely rumored in the world that Gu Ziwei is taciturn, ruthless, and he is a chivalrous man who does justice without leaving his name, which adds to his charm.
Due to some coincidence, Gu Ziwei and Han Yuanbin met, and Gu Ziwei happened to be rescued by Han Yuanbin.
Gu Ziwei, like the young hero in the storybook, made a promise to Han Yuanbin, who knew that Han Yuanbin's request was for Gu Ziwei to take him on a tour of the rivers and lakes.
This took the life of Gu Ziwei, a communication disorder patient.But when he made the promise, there were still many people from the rivers and lakes present.
Before Gu Ziwei could refuse, a group of people from all over the world shouted, "Mr. Gu Ziwei is a man of integrity, he will do what he says, and he will definitely take you on a tour of the world!"
These flattery directly put Gu Ziwei in the sky, and he couldn't refuse it at all.So Gu Ziwei could only take Han Yuanbin into the rivers and lakes.This led to the meeting with Shen Qimeng, and a series of turmoil in the rivers and lakes.
The role of Gu Ziwei is very interesting. On the surface, he is synonymous with "young heroes" in the world, and he strives to fulfill all other people's expectations of him.
But in essence, Gu Ziwei is a typical social phobia patient, especially unwilling to deal with people.
How to switch between the young hero of the cold lake who is righteous and the social terror of autism has become the difficulty of the performance.
In the scene just now, Han Yuanbin cheated Gu Ziwei again, and then Gu Ziwei "comforted" Han Yuanbin in front of Shen Qimeng and other people in the rivers and lakes who were very understanding, but he roared secretly in his heart, wanting to abandon his pig teammates.
In front of everyone, Qin Yan said loudly: "Yang Zhenhai, what are you doing? I asked you to show your dissatisfaction with Han Yuanbin in your heart. I didn't make your face twitch. Look at your expression just now. Are your emotions well conveyed?"
The more complex and in-depth a character is, the easier it is to leave a classic image.But this also means that the role is more difficult to perform.
Qin Yan didn't want to simplify Gu Ziwei's role, so he could only tell Yang Zhenhai over and over again.
Xie Beiyang, who was the most recent focus of observation, found that Qin Yan was not scolding himself, and there was a little excitement in his heart, so he couldn't help showing a smile.
As a result, this smile was seen by Qin Yan, which ignited the rage in Qin Yan's heart.
Qin Yan's voice was not loud, but because every time Qin Yan got angry, the set was extraordinarily quiet, and everyone could hear it clearly:
"Xie Beiyang, don't laugh either. Look at what you showed just now. Your character is still sincere at this stage. He represents innocence rather than stupidity."
"After the conflict just now, there should be apology in your smile, implying that you have gradually understood the rules of the world, paving the way for the next role change. What do you think your deliberate smile looks like just now? Like a fool Similarly, those who didn't know thought that Gu Ziwei was traveling around the rivers and lakes with a mentally handicapped person."
Xi Qianqian on the side didn't dare to speak at all, she knew how often she behaved
In the script, Han Yuanbin played by Xie Beiyang is a son of a rich family, who has a strong yearning for martial arts since he was a child.It's just that he was born in a family of merchants, and the family is quite rich. The two elders in the family don't want their only child to be involved in the bloody, life-or-death arena.
Han Yuanbin once also wanted to learn martial arts, but was stopped by his parents, saying that learning those things about fighting and killing is useless.
Han Yuanbin's usual pleasure is to listen to books in the hotel, and at the same time learn about the world through books and picture books.The more I understand, the more I want to travel to the rivers and lakes.
The "Xie Wuya" mentioned by the storytellers just now is Han Yuanbin's favorite character in the Jianghu. Like him, he is a son of a merchant and a single heir for nine generations, but he forcibly created his own legend in the Jianghu.
The character of "Han Yuanbin" is characterized by an unrealistic longing for the world, which can be summed up as "the stupid son of the landlord's family".
Qin Yan and the stylist took these characteristics into consideration when setting the costumes and styling for "Han Yuanbin".
In terms of clothing fabrics, they chose top-quality handmade silk and satin, and made a special trip to find someone to purchase from Suzhou City. This was bought by Qin Yan at a high price.
The total investment for the entire "Laughing Jianghu" is about 3 to 000 million.
In general movies, the remuneration of actors will occupy about half of the budget of the entire movie project.
But because the main actors Qin Yan was looking for were all young students in school, or newcomers who had just graduated for a year or two, he kept the salary relatively low.
Even for those old drama contracts, Qin Yan opened them more generously.But the total remuneration of all the actors is only seven to eight million yuan. Compared with other films of the same scale, it has saved more than 800 million yuan.
And the more than 1000 million Qin inkstones were all used in the cost of filming.
Not only "Han Yuanbin", the clothes of other characters are also carefully designed and customized, and the price of each set of clothes is more than [-] yuan.
This is not a small statistic among costume props. The 400 sets of clothes in the whole movie cost millions of dollars.
Although it is not as good as the tens of thousands of dollars in clothes in "A Song of Ice and Fire", let alone the hundreds of thousands of dollars in "My Fair Lady" and "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", but it is definitely a must in domestic movies. Top-of-the-line specifications.
Although the current make-up technology is not as superb and uncanny as the future, but with the specially designed clothing, Xie Beiyang's temperament is well displayed, just like a rich man with no deep experience in the world and a simple mind.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with Xie Beiyang's family background, playing a role like the second generation of the rich is not the slightest thing.
Qin Yan admitted that when he designed the protagonist of "Laughing Jianghu", he had referenced some of Xie Beiyang's own characteristics.
Wearing the same clothes on their body, some people can wear it with the feeling of post-modern art, but some people can wear it with a sense of magnificence. Xie Beiyang is undoubtedly the latter.
Han Yuanbin, who was sitting at the wine table, formed a stark contrast with the group performers who were wearing ordinary linen clothes behind him. A rich man who is well-clothed and doesn't know the sufferings of the world, but also has some naive and innocent images of a rich man on the screen.
Qin Yan praised in his heart: In terms of appearance alone, the role of Han Yuanbin is enough to make people's hearts move. He suddenly remembered a character in "Snowflake Jade Dragon" that was highly praised a few years ago. Compared with it, Han Yuanbin Bin is definitely not inferior.
Although there were not many intense actions in the scene just now, in fact, the difficulty factor was not careful. Xie Beiyang had to temporarily use his eyes and micro-movements to temporarily his emotions.
When listening to the book, Han Yuanbin had yearning and excitement in his eyes.When clapping, go all out, you can tell from the muscles on the back of your hands and the color of your palms.
Qin Yan could tell at a glance that Xie Beiyang had brought his own experience, Qin Yan was too familiar with Xie Beiyang's expression.
This is Xie Beiyang's reaction every time he sees his favorite movies and actors.
Of course, sometimes Xie Beiyang looked at him with the same expression. Although Qin Yan was very happy in his heart, he would never admit it.
It's just that this way of performing is not a long-term solution, and can only be adjusted/taught slowly in the future.
Although he was very satisfied in his heart, Qin Yan still nodded his head reservedly and said, "This scene is over", completely preventing anyone from hearing the true emotion in his heart.
But even so, several young actors around burst into loud cheers.
Getting along with Qin Yan some time ago, they know how strict Qin Yan is.So they also knew very well that when Qin Yan said "yes", it meant that the level of the scene was really good.
"Okay, the next step is the key point. Everyone cheer up."
The following Act 2 was not filmed according to the order of the plot development, but continued to shoot the scene of Mr. Storyteller and Han Yuanbin.
Throughout "Laughing Jianghu", the storyteller appeared twice.The first time was just now, which represented Han Yuanbin's longing for the world.
The second time is that Han Yuanbin has already encountered a series of changes. After he truly realized how complicated the world is, he returned to his hometown and heard a storyteller talking about dramas.
Mr. Storyteller is a specially invited actor, and he is getting older, so it is impossible to wait on the crew all the time.Of course, Qin Yan arranged all the two scenes of Mr. Storyteller on the first day.
While waiting for the field staff to change the interior decoration of the entire restaurant, Xie Beiyang also changed his outfit with the help of a makeup artist.
In the plot of the movie, Han Yuanbin has gone through a series of changes, and he has lost the innocence and romance of the beginning. The character of the character is more stable, even a little decadent and self-defeating.
Corresponding changes have also been made in the corresponding clothing. Although they are all top-grade silk and satin, with gold thread hooks visible, the background color has been changed to a more mature dark blue.
There are also changes in makeup, from hairstyles to eyebrows.
Everyone present was a little nervous, because this scene is the key to today.Continuing to express completely different emotions, the difficulty can be imagined.
Even Qin Yan took it a lot seriously. While Xie Beiyang was putting on makeup, he kept communicating with Xie Beiyang about his character's emotions.
"Remember, at this time you find that the world is not as beautiful as you imagined. You feel very tired, but you still don't want to quit the world, you want to try to change it. It's not tiredness, but nostalgia..."
This involves a change in mood, Qin Yan has higher requirements for Xie Beiyang's acting skills.
"Scene 1, Act 2 is officially filming."
The storyteller is still talking about the same plot on stage, even the camera is scanning in the same direction.But when the wine table was swept, apart from Han Yuanbin, there were two other people sitting on the wine table, namely "Shen Qimeng" played by Xi Qianqian and "Gu Ziwei" played by Yang Zhenhai.
Hearing the familiar story, Han Yuanbin's expression showed a complex emotion.
Now he doesn't believe in the happy world and the distinction between right and wrong in the storyteller's story, and he shows an imperceptible sneer at the storyteller's story.
He even wanted to get up several times to tell the cheering audience that the world is not as simple as you imagined, but in the end he endured it.
Shen Qimeng and Gu Ziwei on the side glanced at each other, they both knew what their good friend had been through during this time.
Shen Qimeng comforted in a low voice: "This world is a place of right and wrong. How can there be so much innocence and romance? Don't take these things too seriously."
After hearing this, Han Yuanbin was silent for a moment and said, "Yeah, how could this world be as simple as the story, I was too stupid before."
At this time, Han Yuanbin's expression was obviously self-deprecating, and he had doubts about many things he once firmly believed in.
This can be regarded as the most lonely plot point in the whole play.
Although it is not as heart-piercing as the intense and exciting confrontation, the emotional changes in this scene are more restrained and more heart-wrenching.
The most painful thing in the world is not failure, but powerlessness.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Gu Ziwei said, "Let's go, the enemy will come after you if you don't go." He got up and took his two friends to continue to the next destination.
Han Yuanbin subconsciously raised his hand to order the servant behind him to reward the storyteller.But after he raised his hand, he realized that he was no longer the carefree rich young master.The right hand seemed to be frozen in mid-air, and it took a while to retract it.
Rather lonely, he took out an ingot of broken silver from his pocket and threw it on the table, and immediately caught up with Shen Qimeng and Gu Ziwei.
This scene is officially filmed.
When Qin Yan was planning the first day of filming, he was worried about whether Xie Beiyang and the others could perform well.In particular, Xie Beiyang's emotional changes in two consecutive scenes are so obvious, which makes it more difficult.
So he kept staring at Xie Beiyang, including his expression and body movements.The conclusion is pretty good!
As long as there is no problem with the photography, this scene is over.
Don't think that this scene is so simple. Xie Beiyang is indeed a genius. The half a year of study has given him richer theoretical experience in acting.
But the success of this scene is actually the result of Xie Beiyang's thousands of practices.
Because he and Qin Yan are still in a semi-cohabitation state, Xie Beiyang can be considered to be close to the water, and whenever he is free, he will ask Qin Yan to tell him a play.
Especially after learning about the shooting task on the first day of filming, Xie Beiyang also felt obvious pressure.
Faced with such pressure, Xie Beiyang didn't feel nervous because of it, but turned it into his own motivation, practicing in front of the mirror and DV camera again and again.
During this period of time, the two of them did not read books or write scripts at night.So Qin Yan privately taught Xie Beiyang how to comprehend the changes in his emotions.
In the past, the reason why so many people wanted to find Qin Yan to act in a play was not only because of Qin Yan's reputation, but also because of Qin Yan's first-rate training/teaching ability for actors.
How many actors can get an excellent director to give him private lectures in this life?
Xie Beiyang's progress is quite astonishing, today's performance is very good, several senior performers who came to watch the first scene all showed expressions of appreciation.
Amid the cheers of a group of people, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang subconsciously looked at each other and smiled.
"No, this one will be retaken."
There was no emotion in Qin Yan's voice, and he directly declared that the performance just now was bad.
Although the filming process on the first day was relatively smooth, it does not mean that the entire "Laughing Jianghu" crew has been smooth sailing.
With the advancement of the plot, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang have not practiced many scenes, not to mention other actors besides Xie Beiyang, like Xi Qianqian and Yang Zhenhai, they also have various shooting problems .
In fact, the actors that Qin Yan took a fancy to were all quite outstanding young actors, at least among their peers' acting skills, they could be said to be remarkable.
But "Laughing Jianghu" has selected a large number of veteran actors with real acting skills, as well as Qin Yan's own high standards for acting skills.
Moreover, in "Laughing Jianghu", these old drama characters are not made to pretend to be ugly or design facial makeup images. You can see through the good and evil of the characters at a glance, and you don't need acting skills at all.
In some martial arts works, the characters have mischievous faces and squeaky voices as soon as they come out, for fear that the audience will not know that they are bad guys.Moreover, these bad guys seem to have no brains, and their behavior lacks the most basic logic.
Especially some high-level villains will always make the audience curious: How did such an IQ become the leader/leader?
And Qin Yan designed the biographies and personality traits of these supporting roles who were not so important in the play, so that their lines, behaviors, and choices became traceable.
When Qin Yan visited these old drama characters, he even brought a biography of each character, just to tell them: These characters are not supporting roles in facial makeup. Although there are not many roles in the role, each character has its own uniqueness .
The supporting roles in martial arts film and television works in these years are really the same. The roles given by Qin Yan are undoubtedly attractive to the veteran actors, which is one of the reasons why they took the roles.
And Qin Yan told them from the first scene that they don't need to stop acting, and try to play every role as well as possible.
Especially a few middle-aged actors, who had suffered a lot in the gym before, suffocated their breath, and were going to show Qin Yan, a junior, their true strength.
So after entering the filming of the rivers and lakes part, Xie Beiyang and the others were immediately crushed.The changes in mood and demeanor of the old actors directly stunned the young actors who played with them.
There is a feeling of being at a loss when being caught on stage by the acting teacher in class.
In fact, in many cases, in order to make the acting skills of young actors appear less embarrassing and stupid.It is a convention in film and television dramas, try to let middle-aged actors perform in a silent manner, and act a little stupid.
Otherwise, when they appear in the same screen, the two parties just happen to be competing with each other, and the audience's attention will be completely focused on the strong character, and the entire screen and the plot will be instantly out of balance.
But Qin Yan is unwilling to give in in terms of acting skills, obviously he can shoot better acting.In order to take care of those who are not good at acting, let the actors with better acting skills take the role?What's the point!
Are you weak? Are you justified?
Compared with commercial films, the narrative structure of literary films tends to be slower.Every look and expression of an actor will be infinitely enlarged.
This requires actors to control all kinds of emotions in place.
Qin Yan has become accustomed to the shooting method of excellence, and is also used to actors showing the emotions of the characters through the lens. It is impossible for him to lower his requirements, just like a person who is used to delicious food suddenly asks him to eat for nothing. Steamed buns, you will definitely not get used to it.
If there is anything bad about the performance, then Qin Yan will definitely stop and shoot again.
If it doesn't work once, then ten times.It must meet the passing line in Qin Yan's mind!
This is the habit he developed when he was making literary films, and it is also the condition for making high-level films.
But in this way, the filming progress of the entire "Laughing Jianghu" was drastically slowed down.
It is impossible to spend a lot of time making a high-end movie in the future.
Because generally a good crew will invite well-known actors to participate in the performance, so as to attract enough audiences, but these actors are all worth a lot of money.
After all, compared to acting remuneration, the income of celebrities will be much higher if they accept other variety shows and business endorsements. No celebrity is willing to spend a lot of time on the set with you.
At the same time, stars also need film and television works to maintain their popularity, and tirelessly join various film and television works.
And this is also the reason why so many stars have obviously accepted the role, but actually have so little time to join the crew.
As for all filming with actors who are obsessed with acting?That doesn't work either.
If no one wants to watch it, and if there is no profit, there will be no investors.
Due to various factors, the actual time for each crew to shoot is only about two or three months.
And not only in the future, even for the current crew, it is quite a luxury to want to shoot over and over again.
After all, every day the machine is turned on, so many employees work on-site, food expenses, venue rental fees, group performance fees... at least tens of thousands a day, these are all real money.
How can a film crew dare to use so many young actors as the main actors of a commercial film like Qin Yan.
Qin Yan dared to spend money like this because of the relatively low salaries of these young actors. You must know that when he signed the contract with them, he specifically noted the issue of the shooting cycle.
The general film shooting cycle is 3 to 4 months, but Qin Yan's shooting cycle is directly written as 6 months to 1 year.
If it were an actor with status, he would have been dissatisfied with such a new contract for a long time, but they are all newcomers and value every opportunity. Even if Qin Yan's contract does not seem to be very lucrative, they are willing to accept it.
In the whole set, Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian are the most valuable ones, after all, they are considered very popular figures on the Internet now.
Coupled with the great body of "Ancient House" and other works, he is the actor with the highest voice in the discourse circle of the entire set except Qin Yan.
However, the two of them were the leading actors, and they were also the actors who received the most scolding from Qin Yan.
There was a scene yesterday where Han Yuanbin and Shen Qimeng met for the first time.
In the setting, Shen Qimeng is a well-known beauty in the world, and Han Yuanbin has heard of her name several times before.
According to the plot in the script, Han Yuanbin thought that he should have a special relationship with Shen Qimeng, and she should fall in love with him at first sight, as the script said.
So Han Yuanbin took the initiative to approach Shen Qimeng to get close, but Shen Qimeng ruthlessly rejected him. In the end, Shen Qimeng couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him, and Han Yuanbin fell to the ground.
However, Xie Beiyang's performance did not meet Qin Yan's requirements at all. Qin Yan got stuck 7 times in a row and was talking to Xie Beiyang:
"You don't like Shen Qimeng, and you're not attracted by her beauty. So your expression can't be serious or lewd. You're not a pervert, you should be a little conceited. Look at her What did you play just now? Are you still a well-fed son? What is the difference between your performance and the passer-by villain in those bad movies?"
"The performance is too deliberate!"
Several times, the surrounding staff felt that Xie Beiyang's performance was already in place, and even on the set they could still smile.But it was still directly vetoed by Qin Yan, and there was no chance of objection at all.
Xi Qianqian's acting was fine, and she acted with Xie Beiyang again and again, without showing any impatience, as if she had gotten used to it long ago.
The two of them didn't refute, they acted and summarized according to Qin Yan's request over and over again, until Xie Beiyang forgot the expressions and movements he designed at the beginning, Qin Yan shouted "pass".
This is not an accidental situation, Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian basically have a day without getting stuck.If they didn't know that they had worked together on "Ancient House", people around would probably think that Qin Yan was deliberately making things difficult for them.
When Qin Yan, Xi Qianqian, and Liu Zhengwen were filming "Ancient House", they had a very good relationship in private, and for Qin Yan at that time, it was a timely help.
But no matter who's work is not in place, Qin Yan will still point out the problem without hesitation.Being reprimanded by my friends, in front of my friends, that feeling is even more uncomfortable.
Now, even if Qin Yan pointed out in front of more than a dozen staff members that there was something wrong with their acting, they could accept it without changing their faces.
Of course, the face change here means that they will not be angry because of it, not that they will be indifferent to Qin Yan's guidance.
Perhaps at first they thought their performances were in place, but when Qin Yan showed them several versions of the photography, they knew by conscience which version performed better.
Qin Yan asked them a word at that time: "Which one do you want to see?"
No matter how hard and tiring they were, the moment they saw the work, they all endured it.
In contrast, the other young actors had fewer roles and were called out less often, but how could they have experienced such a stormy reprimand.
Sometimes Qin Yan was scolding him to the point of embarrassment, and even wanted to stand up and resist.But when they saw that Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian, who were scolded far worse than themselves, were still accepting the teaching with humility, they endured it again.
So Qin Yan fell into a mode of training newcomers, and the entire set could hear Qin Yan lecturing to young actors every day.
In the first few days, Qin Yan was quite patient.Help each actor analyze their roles and adjust their emotions.
But no one can maintain emotional stability forever, especially when similar problems recur, the mood will become more and more irritable.
The same is true for Qin Yan, his voice will become more and more tense, his expression will become serious, and he will even reprimand him loudly.
The middle-aged actors and other staff on the side were happy with this scene.
They didn't take too many film jobs a year, and they weren't the ones being reprimanded, so they watched the fun from the sidelines at ease.
And they are also people who have experienced big winds and waves. They know that Qin Yan's teaching method is actually the most obvious improvement for young actors.
Don't think that Qin Yan is just cursing, but after pointing out the problem, he will also tell the young actor how to solve it.
How to understand emotions, how to design movements, how to control voice...
There are often interruptions, but in half a day at most, these young actors can find a way to adjust.
Just now Yang Zhenhai's literary play made a mistake again, like a primary school student, with his hands pressed tightly to the seam on both sides of his trousers, he bowed his head and listened to Qin Yanjiangxi.
The heads of several large sects who played the role of Jianghu were all watching the show from the sidelines.Liu Tianming and Duan Hong even held their thermos cups and sat on the pony to chat.
With a casual smile on his face, Liu Tianming said to Duan Hong:
"You said that young people nowadays just love to toss about a show that is so relaxing and joyful. Why do you have to be so strict? Sometimes I think it's okay. Why do you think Qin Yan is so demanding? Woolen cloth?"
Liu Tianming seemed to be complaining, but Duan Hong, his old partner, saw through it at a glance. Liu Tianming couldn't hide his liking for Qin Yan.So he did not hesitate to expose the true face of his old friend:
"Come on, dare you say that you don't like directors like Qin Yan."
"Didn't you hesitate when Qin Yan invited you to participate in the show before? You asked me if Qin Yan had some shit luck to be able to shoot such a high-grossing work. Now you know the reason?"
Liu Tianming nodded in agreement, indeed.These days, there are not many directors who know what kind of work they want to make. Although Qin Yan is usually stubborn, many of his ideas are really good.
"I'm still quite curious about where he will go in the future."
Similar private conversations took place among more actors and studio workers. They all have experience with the set, and they often encounter such things as directors and actors.
But they have never seen a director like Qin Yan who treats commercial films as literary films.
They could see that Qin Yan had high standards for movies, and his request was not based on imagination.Qin Yan is always justified, he knows where the limit of an actor is, and he knows how to make the film better.
But the vast majority of directors will eventually strike a balance between cost and effect. Except for some directors of literary and artistic films, no commercial film will be so picky.
Of course, another very important reason why they could tolerate Qin Yan's fury was that when the contract was signed, the contract had agreed that the filming cycle of "Laughing Jianghu" would be relatively long.Moreover, the hourly salary is considered relatively generous in the industry.
For the vast majority of workers, feelings are definitely not enough, and they have to support their families.As long as Qin Yan gives the money in place, half a year's film can be made into two years.
For this matter, Qin Yan had "kindly" discussed with Ding Chang several times.
Now Ding Chang is in charge of Huayan's administration and property work.Ding Chang naturally wanted to find a job in his position.Although he doesn't particularly understand film shooting, he understands film operations.
He knows what the return on investment ratio is, what he knows is the production cycle, and he knows what all kinds of box office splits are!
With an investment of 4000 million, it means that the box office needs to reach at least 1.2 million to pay back!And what is the concept of 1.2 million, at this time no domestic director dares to pat his chest and say that his movie will definitely reach 1.2 million.
When Qin Yan gave him the script of "Laughing Jianghu" at the beginning, he expressed his clear opposition - there were no stars, no basic box office market, and unclear investment prospects.
Ding Chang is telling the truth, if Qin Yan's name is erased, he will never invest in this drama personally.
And the reality is so cruel. After Qin Yan spread his idea of making a movie, no one came to him to invest.
At that time, Qin Yan had already come up with the film project, with an investment of 4000 million, and there was not a single second-tier star. The investors were not allowed to intervene in the actors, roles, and the details of the filming...
Without Qin Yan opening his mouth, these investors left cursing one by one.Later, he revealed these requests to various entertainment weekly magazines.
But this incident did not cause any waves in the industry, why?Because no one believes it!
As long as anyone has a brain, it is impossible to make a movie like Qin Yan.The media in the entertainment and film and television circles all thought this was false news and were unwilling to report it at all.
The author has something to say: I love the irascible Director Qin too!
051 Tyrant
In order to reduce the risk of "Laughing Jianghu", Ding Chang tried his best to persuade Qin Yan to lower the production cost.Even if the film fails, there is still a chance for a comeback.
In terms of reducing production costs, Ding Chang proposed many solutions that have long been mature in the domestic industry-such as reducing staff, shortening the cycle, selecting third- and fourth-tier actors, and so on.
Of course, there are still some ways to increase the popularity of the movie - star joining, gossip hype, insider trolling...
Of course, Qin Yan knows that Ding Chang's starting point is for Hua Yan, and this is the current domestic film production route.
But he, Qin Yan, is not an ordinary director. He prolongs the filming cycle, raises the wages of the behind-the-scenes staff, lowers the lead actor's salary... everything is for the quality of the movie.
If Qin Yan's ideas are spread now, it will definitely cause ridicule in the industry - stupid idealists.
Has any director done this before?Yes, and there are many of them.But the problem is that these directors have all failed.
Because as long as the box office of the final film is not good and the profit margin cannot meet the expectations of investors, then the director will be socially dead in the investment circle.
It takes money to make movies!
It is not a group of people who say "I want to make a movie for Huaguo" can succeed.That film camera is burning money every second.
How many directors choose to succumb to the market in order to invest.
However, Qin Yan did not abide by this set of rules at all, the reason is very simple, he is rich now, and Hua Yan is the only investor in "Laughing Jianghu".
He can avoid intrigue and infighting with those "smart" businessmen.You can shoot whatever movie you want.
This is also Qin Yan's usual style, but in his previous life, he was a rich second generation, and he didn't care about income.And now Qin Yan is still responsible for supporting his family.
He doesn't want this kind of shooting regardless of cost to be just a flash in the pan.Therefore, Hua Yan must survive, and "Laughing Jianghu" must succeed!
In the end, of course, Qin Yan persuaded Ding Chang, he said: "Trust me."
After listening to it, Ding Chang sighed, and never talked to Qin Yan about lowering the cost. He silently worked hard to help Qin Yan form a more efficient work team, so that "Laughing Jianghu" would not exceed the budget as much as possible.
This is also the reason why Qin Yan invited Ding Chang to partner in the first place, because Ding Chang is a qualified producer, but he has not completely fallen into the "money eye".
Put simply, the producer is in charge of all the financial aspects of a movie, and the director is in charge of the artistic creation.
Even Qin Yan didn't dare to be a producer and director at the same time, he was afraid that one day his brain would get hot and he would overrun the movie budget again.
Anyway, under Qin Yan's "money offensive", no staff member would be disgusted with Qin Yan's strictness at this time.
They even regarded the scene of Qin Yan training new actors as watching a play, and their daily life was quite nourishing.
"Yang Zhenhai, come here. This is not how you acted. You can see for yourself what you did just now?"
Now Qin Yan is angry at Yang Zhenhai's performance again.
In "Laughing Jianghu", Han Yuanbin played by Xie Beiyang is a rich kid who simply yearns for life in the martial arts world, while Yang Zhenhai's role of "Gu Ziwei" is a handsome young man who already has a great reputation in the world .
As the leader of the new generation of Jianghu, he is known as the "Jade Dragon Spear", a gentleman is like jade, and a spear is like a dragon.
Not only is he good at martial arts, but he is also handsome and has outstanding character. There are countless suitors in the world.
But in fact, under Gu Ziwei's gentle, chivalrous and courageous mask, Gu Ziwei is a person who is particularly unwilling to deal with others.
At the beginning, because he didn't want to compete with the brothers and sisters of the same school, he went down the mountain alone to wander the rivers and lakes.
The reason why Gu Ziwei wields his sword to the end of the world is because it says in the scriptures that young heroes should eradicate evil, promote good, and promote martial virtues, so he eliminated all the troubles along the way and gained a reputation all over the world.
It is widely rumored in the world that Gu Ziwei is taciturn, ruthless, and he is a chivalrous man who does justice without leaving his name, which adds to his charm.
Due to some coincidence, Gu Ziwei and Han Yuanbin met, and Gu Ziwei happened to be rescued by Han Yuanbin.
Gu Ziwei, like the young hero in the storybook, made a promise to Han Yuanbin, who knew that Han Yuanbin's request was for Gu Ziwei to take him on a tour of the rivers and lakes.
This took the life of Gu Ziwei, a communication disorder patient.But when he made the promise, there were still many people from the rivers and lakes present.
Before Gu Ziwei could refuse, a group of people from all over the world shouted, "Mr. Gu Ziwei is a man of integrity, he will do what he says, and he will definitely take you on a tour of the world!"
These flattery directly put Gu Ziwei in the sky, and he couldn't refuse it at all.So Gu Ziwei could only take Han Yuanbin into the rivers and lakes.This led to the meeting with Shen Qimeng, and a series of turmoil in the rivers and lakes.
The role of Gu Ziwei is very interesting. On the surface, he is synonymous with "young heroes" in the world, and he strives to fulfill all other people's expectations of him.
But in essence, Gu Ziwei is a typical social phobia patient, especially unwilling to deal with people.
How to switch between the young hero of the cold lake who is righteous and the social terror of autism has become the difficulty of the performance.
In the scene just now, Han Yuanbin cheated Gu Ziwei again, and then Gu Ziwei "comforted" Han Yuanbin in front of Shen Qimeng and other people in the rivers and lakes who were very understanding, but he roared secretly in his heart, wanting to abandon his pig teammates.
In front of everyone, Qin Yan said loudly: "Yang Zhenhai, what are you doing? I asked you to show your dissatisfaction with Han Yuanbin in your heart. I didn't make your face twitch. Look at your expression just now. Are your emotions well conveyed?"
The more complex and in-depth a character is, the easier it is to leave a classic image.But this also means that the role is more difficult to perform.
Qin Yan didn't want to simplify Gu Ziwei's role, so he could only tell Yang Zhenhai over and over again.
Xie Beiyang, who was the most recent focus of observation, found that Qin Yan was not scolding himself, and there was a little excitement in his heart, so he couldn't help showing a smile.
As a result, this smile was seen by Qin Yan, which ignited the rage in Qin Yan's heart.
Qin Yan's voice was not loud, but because every time Qin Yan got angry, the set was extraordinarily quiet, and everyone could hear it clearly:
"Xie Beiyang, don't laugh either. Look at what you showed just now. Your character is still sincere at this stage. He represents innocence rather than stupidity."
"After the conflict just now, there should be apology in your smile, implying that you have gradually understood the rules of the world, paving the way for the next role change. What do you think your deliberate smile looks like just now?
