Jianghu Martial Arts School [Comprehensive Martial Arts]
Chapter 75 Film and Television Base
Waking up early in the morning, Shen Qingping first came with a set of deep inhalation and exhalation method taught by Ximen Chuuxue. The refreshed Shen Qingping finished washing and dressing, ready to face a new day of work.
Two little spirit foxes ran around beside his legs, very happy.
He first inspected the construction site of the school, and the project has come to the final stage.
Old Jiang, the foreman, walked over with a smile and handed Shen Qingping a cigarette: "Principal Shen, what do you think?"
Shen Qingping declined the cigarette politely, and said with a smile, "That's right, it's almost time to cap it off, right?"
Jiang Gong took a deep puff of his cigarette: "Yes, the whole project will be completed in about half a month."
The speed of this construction team is considered very fast, but in less than half a year, the construction of several buildings has been completed.In private, Shen Qingping let Wuqing see it quietly, saying that the quality of the building is quite good, and it is not a tofu project.
Therefore, although the wages and raw materials for this construction were a little higher than the market price, Shen Qingping paid generously.
When it comes to money, Shen Qingping's face can't help but collapse.Recently, money has been the most annoying thing for him.
Wuxia World has been unable to get in touch for a long time. Seeing that the money in the school bank card is decreasing day by day, the next step is to hire someone to renovate and so on. Funds are needed in all aspects.
Although Huang Rong's dim sum shop is very profitable, even though the live broadcast can also get a lot of rewards, even though several big bosses don't need to pay their own wages, and all the money they earn is handed over to the school, but it is not enough.
After all, in order to allow more people to come to the martial arts school to learn traditional martial arts, the school does not charge high tuition fees from the students. In addition, it also provides lunch, clothing, utensils, accommodation and so on. It is almost no profit at all.
In order to make students more motivated, various competitions are often held in the school, and the accumulated prize money is also a considerable amount.
What's more, Shen Qingping has to pay the employees' wages, and she has to post a sum of money.
Assistant Feng Feng said with a smile, where is Shen Qingping running a school?It is clearly doing charity!It is almost the same as the Confucius Classroom of the Confucius Institute that China has vigorously promoted overseas.
The difference is that the Confucius Institute has Hanban, a big benefactor, who provides unconditional financial assistance, but the source of funds for the Jianghu Martial Arts School has been cut off.
Shen Qingping pondered, when she was really short of money, she had no choice but to borrow money from the bank, using the school as collateral, so she must be able to get some money, right?
Alas, outsiders say that Principal Shen of the Jianghu Martial Arts School is so beautiful. He is the head of the school at a young age and has been included in the candidate list of young entrepreneurs in Bishan City. In fact, do you know how much trouble Principal Shen has?
Forget it, let’s think about how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
***
Before Shen Qingping actually applied for a loan from the bank, Lu Xiaofeng, who successfully passed the interview with the crew of "Flying Clouds and Flying Moon", brought good news.
"Rent our school's venue for filming?" Shen Qingping was taken aback.
Lu Xiaofeng at the other end of the video smiled and winked at him: "How about the principal? I highly recommend our school in front of the director. Director Chen saw the photos and thought it was good. If you agree, the crew will send someone to check the venue immediately. "
Waving a paper fan, Hua Manlou smiled and added: "Principal, the school has been struggling with cash flow recently. Everyone is aware of it. He heard that the crew is looking for a suitable venue, so he recommended our school to the director."
Shen Qingping couldn't help but look at Lu Xiaofeng on the other side of the video with admiration: Brother, be steady!
Previously, Lu Xiaofeng was able to defeat other seasoned opponents by defeating other experienced opponents and successfully got the role of "Liu Yun" in the film. Touched and surprised.
Let the crew of "Flying Clouds and Flying Moon" come to the school to film?
Shen Qingping's first thought was: Wow, can I meet many celebrities?
Second thought: Wouldn't it be possible to make a big publicity in this name?
The third thought: Having a topic = being able to fire.
Shen Qingping: Sure!
Looking at the smile on Shen Qingping's face that gradually changed from cloudy to sunny, Lu Xiaofeng on the other side of the video smiled meaningfully: he knew that the shrewd principal Shen would not let go of such a good publicity opportunity.
After turning off the video, Lu Xiaofeng went to tell the director in a blink of an eye that Principal Shen of the Jianghu Martial Arts School had agreed to the filming crew, as long as they didn't disturb their normal teaching process.
As for the cost, Shen Qingping is very generous: it's free!
The reason why Shen Qingping is free is because of her own considerations.
At present, the most famous film and television base in China provides free venues for the crew.Don't think that you can't make much money if you provide it for free. Which actor doesn't need money for accommodation and meals?Not to mention actors, the fan base who come to visit the set after hearing the news can also contribute a lot of wealth.Not to mention that after the film and television base becomes a tourist attraction, it can attract many tourists and generate a lot of income.
Yangjia Village is located in a remote place, and there are no decent hotels nearby. If the crew really came to their school to shoot a movie, they must choose a place to stay.
The school's new dormitory building is about to be completed, and there are not so many students for the time being, why not let the crew live in it?
——The shooting venue is free, but it doesn’t mean that the accommodation is also free.
Moreover, there is a canteen.Shen Qingping believes that the craftsmanship of the chefs in the cafeteria will firmly grasp the hearts of everyone. They will have snacks from time to time for three meals a day.
Of course, Shen Qingping runs a martial arts school, and he has not forgotten that their most important task is to promote traditional Chinese martial arts.But if there is a movie filmed in the school, he will take the opportunity to promote it, afraid that no one will pay attention to their school?
It can be said that it is perfect to make money and be famous.
Shen Qingping: Oh yeah, I'm really a planner!
***
At present, there are only a few domestic film and television bases, but with the prosperity of the film and television industry, the number of large and small production groups has sprung up at a rapid rate.As far as the most famous film and television base is concerned, there are crews stationed in various venues in the base for filming every day, and it seems to have become a well-known tourist attraction in China.
Bishan City also set up a film and television base, which is the one where Lu Xiaofeng and the others filmed "One Sword to the West 3". No matter in terms of scale or other aspects, that film and television base is much more formal than Jianghu martial arts school.The most important reason why Director Chen Shen fell in love with their school was not Lu Xiaofeng's strong recommendation, but a coincidence.
"Flying Clouds and Flying Moon" is an old-fashioned martial arts revenge film.The hero Liu Yun is a son of a family, but when he was three years old, his father was framed by a traitor, and his whole family was persecuted. Only Liu Yun escaped because of the protection of his loyal servants.After Liu Yun grew up, he learned martial arts by chance. He wanted to avenge his family, so he returned to the capital, looking for opportunities to take revenge.
The heroine Fei Yue is the daughter of a treacherous minister who framed Liu Yun's family back then. She ran away from home because she was dissatisfied with the marriage the family chose for her, and happened to run into Liu Yun who came to avenge her.Affected by various force majeure, the two fell in love.
In the end, the two sides realized that the other party was actually the son of the enemy. After making painful psychological choices, Liu Yun killed the enemy with his hands, bid farewell to Fei Yue, and finally wandered the world.After Feiyue buried her father, she also embarked on a journey to find Liuyun.
The plot is very old-fashioned, a typical martial arts film routine, mixed with all kinds of bloody love and hatred, but the audience just likes it.
The reason why Chen Shen was able to make one hit is entirely because he is able to grasp the audience's psychology. He knows what the audience likes, so he shoots in that direction. The fire is just right, neither too much nor too strong. not enough.
In addition, Chen Shen is a director who attaches great importance to pictures and details. He once worked as a photographer, and the films he made are relatively perfect, at least from the picture. No matter how picky people are about commercial films, it is difficult to pick out any bones in this regard.
It is conceivable how strict Chen Shen is on the shooting location.It is said that every time he shoots a movie, he spends several months looking for suitable venues all over the country and even around the world.Unlike many films produced under the green cloth of studios, almost every shot in his films is shot on-site, and he will not choose special effects unless it is absolutely necessary.
Before preparing for "Flying Clouds and Flying Moon", Chen Shen actually found a venue.Unexpectedly, shortly after the start-up, a fire broke out in one of the important venues due to aging lines.
The house on fire was not too big, but it also damaged some houses, so this century-old house was protected by the local government, and it was forbidden to allow any crew to settle in and shoot before it was renovated.
Originally in Chen Shen's plan, this old house was used as the heroine's home.This mansion named Gao Family Courtyard was first built in the Qing Dynasty and belonged to a wealthy salt merchant named Gao at that time.The typical architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties shows the rich financial resources of the Gao family everywhere.
In fact, there are several luxury houses similar to the Gao Family Courtyard in China, but none of them are as well preserved as the Gao Family Courtyard.
Everyone in the industry knows that Chen Shen has a problem. He doesn't like to shoot movies in film and television bases, and prefers those real scenes.In his words, the buildings in those film and television bases were all built by modern people. At first glance, they looked passable, but after a few more glances, they were completely different.
Although the play in the Gao Family Courtyard failed, Chen Shen was unwilling to give up his high standards. After inspecting several courtyards and being unsatisfied, Lu Xiaofeng appeared.
Lu Xiaofeng just showed Chen Shen a few photos, the photos of Jianghu Martial Arts School.
The Jianghu Martial Arts School was originally supervised by the martial arts government, and invested a lot of money. There are also masters like Huang Yaoshi who have studied Fengshui. They have seen Fengshui. Both the architecture and layout are top-grade, not those of film and television bases. Pipeline styles are comparable.
In addition, the school building is in Ming and Qing style, which is consistent with the background of the movie.When Chen Shen fell in love with the Gao Family Courtyard, he considered its architectural style.
After looking through the photos carefully, Chen Shen was excited: "What place is this?"
Lu Xiaofeng knew that Chen Shen was interested in the photos, so he told him that this was a martial arts school.
Chen Shen was a little shocked: When did martial arts schools become so powerful?It is better than a dedicated film and television base.
Judging from the photos, this place is Chen Shen's ideal shooting location, even better than the Gao Family Courtyard!
After learning that the principal of the martial arts school agreed that the film crew would not charge any fees for borrowing the venue, the resolute Chen Shen immediately bought a ticket to Bishan City, and he wanted to come to the school for a field trip.
As the half master, Lu Xiaofeng naturally came back with him.To be honest, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I still miss you.
Shen Qingping had already made preparations under the notice of Lu Xiaofeng, and personally greeted Director Chen Shen for the school inspection.It just so happens that those new buildings have also been completed. Although they are still undergoing interior decoration, they do not affect the overall image of the school.
Shen Qingping also showed Chen Shen a tour of their teaching process. After seeing Ximen Chuuxuewujian and Guo Jing practicing boxing, Chen Shen was shocked by the spirit of the students.
At that time, he had only one thought: with these students, the extras would not have to worry.
There is a scene in the film, after the male mainstream cloud became the leader of the martial arts, he led the major gangs of the martial arts to attack the mansion of the treacherous officials.What else is more suitable for these group performances than martial arts practitioners?
What surprised Chen Shen even more was that each of the coaches in the school was better-looking than the other, and all of them possessed unique skills. No matter in appearance or martial arts, none of them were inferior to Lu Xiaofeng.
——The reason why he chose Lu Xiaofeng, a newcomer, as the leading actor in the movie against all opinions, was not only because Lu Xiaofeng was good-looking, with a suitable aura, and his acting skills were not too bad, but also because of his good skills, no matter how difficult it was. Actions can be shown with ease.
As a Kung Fu movie, the action is gorgeous and beautiful is the most important point.
After some investigation, Chen Shen was very satisfied with another meal cooked by Huang Rong himself, and signed the contract on the spot.
Looking at the contract that still smelled of ink in his hand, Shen Qingping smiled so much that his eyes curled up.
Although the news that the crew will come to the school for filming cannot be released for the time being after signing the non-disclosure agreement, Shen Qingping believes that once the crew moves in, it will be difficult to hide the news.
Who are the gossip reporters and fanatical fans, and are there any secrets in this circle?
Two little spirit foxes ran around beside his legs, very happy.
He first inspected the construction site of the school, and the project has come to the final stage.
Old Jiang, the foreman, walked over with a smile and handed Shen Qingping a cigarette: "Principal Shen, what do you think?"
