Lao Zhang is definitely well versed in the art of hype. Previously, the copyright cost only one yuan, and there was also a choice for the heroine. Now Zhou Xun, now Zhang Ziyi, all kinds of conflicts, the hype is abuzz. But when it came to the launch of "The Swordsman", there was no sound, and there was not even a launch press conference.
In his words, this is called relaxation. The topic has been hyped before. The more mysterious you are, the more the outside world wants to know. The more the outside world wants to know, the reporters will chase you to report.
Speaking of Zhou Xun, let me say one more thing. At the beginning of the year, she starred in "April in the World" with Huang Lei, Liu Ruoying, and Yi Nengjingyi, which received great praise. In addition, at the Paris International Film Festival last month, she won the "Suzhou River" ” won the Best Actress Award in one fell swoop. For a time, major media reported it one after another. Of course, this also included Rong Xinda Company's intention to promote the upcoming "Da Ming Gong Ci".
Zhou Xun was famous, but Lou Ye was in trouble. He was banned from directing for five years by the General Administration for participating in foreign film festivals without permission.
Although Li Tang was upset about Zhou Xun winning the award, he was not envious of it because "Suzhou River" is a female-oriented film. It was natural for Zhou Xun to win the award. It would be abnormal if he won the award. Woolen cloth.
On March 27, "The Swordsman" was launched at Wuxi Water Margin Film and Television City.
Chief producer Zhang Jizhong, two directors, as well as starring actors and behind-the-scenes creators, etc., hundreds of people attended the opening ceremony.
It was Li Tang's first time to participate in this kind of power-on ceremony, and he was quite curious. The first two times, there was no chance at all. The last few times, I joined the group midway and missed the opening ceremony.
He also inquired about it privately, and heard that it was very particular. Not only was the time and location particular, but he also couldn't be present at the scene if the horoscope was in conflict.
Teacher Wei Zi was left to rest in the hotel because of the wrong horoscope.
Nowadays, it is becoming more and more open, and even CCTV dramas do not taboo such feudal superstitious activities.
In the square in front of the Daxiangguo Temple on Shanghe Street in the Qingming Film and Television City, several rectangular tables were prepared early, covered with bright red velvet. The statue of Mr. Guan is placed in the center, with roasted suckling pig, snacks and fruit plates in front, and big red candles on both sides.
There are also two cameras on tripods, placed in front of the altar table, covered with red cloth.
The auspicious time has arrived, everyone lined up neatly, presented their luggage to Mr. Guan together, and then offered incense in turn. The first one is the chief producer Zhang Jizhong, followed by the chief director Huang Jianzhong, then Yuan Bing, the male lead Shao Bin, the female lead Xu Qing, the second male lead, the second female lead...
Incense in turn.
Li Tang is still the second male lead, just behind Peach Butt.
After a set of procedures was completed, Sun Haiying, who guest-starred as the emcee, shouted loudly: "I wish "The Swordsman" a good start!"
This guy is an actor from the Shenyang Repertory Theater. He had previously played a small supporting role in the TV series "The Blue Enchantress" where Zhang Dabeard was the producer. He was spotted by Dabeard and was able to play the flower-picking thief Tian Boguang in "The Swordsman". .
Along with the chief producer Zhang Jizhong, director Huang Jianzhong, and the two leading actors Shao Bin and Xu Qing, they unveiled the red hijab on the camera and the ceremony was completed.
After the power-on ceremony, Li Tang, his junior sister Miao Yiyi, and his senior brother Tumen prepared to leave. It was a rare break for most of the day, so the three of them made an appointment with Teacher Wei Zi who stayed at the hotel to go shopping in the city. Chen Lifeng originally wanted to go, but he just had his head shaved yesterday and did not dare to go out to meet people.
Oh, by the way, Sun Haiying is also going together. Although this guy is very old, he is very active in everything.
"Xiao Li!"
The three of them waited for a while. Sun Haiying, who was temporarily guest emcee, was about to leave when Li Tang was stopped by director Huang Jianzhong.
"Director Huang!"
Lao Huang walked closer and glanced at the other three people.
Sun Haiying was very smart and said hurriedly: "Then let's go first, Li Tang, we will wait for you in the hotel lobby."
"Hey, I'll be there in a minute."
After the three people left, Lao Huang said apologetically: "Xiao Li, your announcement needs to be adjusted."
Li Tang was surprised when he heard this: "Why are you notified now?"
Because he got the notice a week ago, which stated the work contents for the next few days after the filming started, including which scene to shoot, the time, location, actors and director of the shooting.
Giving you a week's notice in advance will give you enough preparation time, so that you can have time to communicate with the actors in the opposite scenes. If you have any questions, you can also communicate with the director in advance to ensure the smoothness of the on-site shooting to the greatest extent.
But if there are changes in the notice, you should notify it in advance. The shooting will be tomorrow, so you only notify it today, which is somewhat unjustifiable.
Lao Huang hurriedly said: "It won't affect your preparation time. The main thing is... well, some of your scenes may have to be postponed."
Huang Jianzhong was a little embarrassed to say it, but he couldn't help it, and the temporary adjustment also faced many problems. Not only the adjustment of the actors, but also the plans of the entire behind-the-scenes creative team had to change, and everyone was complaining.
Of course, the biggest problem is the actor. Li Tang is not a cat or a dog who can be rubbed casually. If he doesn't agree, there will be no way to adjust.
Seeing the troubled expression on Lao Huang's face, Li Tang vaguely guessed something, but he still asked: "Director Huang, can I ask why adjustments are needed?"
"That's not because Shao Bin, just before the opening ceremony, said that he wanted to film some of his scenes first, so..."
Lao Huang didn't say anything further. His meaning was very clear. In order to accommodate this man, he could only postpone other people's announcements. In fact, Lao Huang felt aggrieved. He had no way to deal with this man. First, he joined the set early and was late. In order to accommodate him alone, he disrupted the entire script reading plan. There was also an incident during martial arts training. All kinds of moths can be said to be full of misdeeds.
But he still doesn't know it, relying on his own big name, he acts like the boss in heaven, the second boss in earth, and the third boss in himself.
To be honest, Lao Huang was particularly annoyed when he just heard that Shao Bin said that his play would be brought forward. At this moment, he even looked forward to it. He hoped that Li Tang would not agree and would just make a fuss about it. When the fuss got bigger, he would simply I gave it to Zhang Dabeard. Anyway, his boss Zhang appointed the first and second male lead, which gave him a headache.
As expected, Li Tang felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that. Whether Shao Bin was playing a big role or you liked to show off, as long as it didn't infringe on his own interests, he would pretend he didn't see it. But now it was clearly violated, and he even thought it was because Shao Bin had been holding back for so long and wanted to give him a blow.
If I have a tough attitude, he will either withdraw or make things worse. In the end, there will probably be a choice between me and him, or him and me. At this point, Li Tang felt that he was obviously going to suffer a loss. Everyone had signed the contract and one-third of the salary was paid. Compared with his salary of more than ten or two hundred thousand, it might not even be a fraction of Shao Bin's. . Even if Zhang Dabeard is reluctant, for the sake of the overall situation, it is not difficult to make a choice.
Children only talk about right and wrong, adults talk about pros and cons. Li Tang asked himself that if he was too tough, it would obviously be detrimental to him. Especially when he saw a strange color flashing across Lao Huang's bitter face, he had an idea.
As the saying goes: Where there are people, there will be struggles; Mao Zedong also said: Fighting with others is endless fun. Having been in the group for such a long time, he had already heard about the battle over the right to speak between Zhang Dabeard and Lao Huang, so it was not difficult to understand why Lao Huang suddenly changed his tune during the interview. He obviously turned his passivity into an active one and defeated Big Beard. An army. Of course, it was Li Tang himself who benefited in the end.
But at this moment, despite his pitiful appearance, Lao Huang, an old silver coin, might be secretly wishing that he and Shao Bin would have a fight, or even have it end badly, so that he could hand over the conflict naturally. Anyway, people are chosen by bearded men, giving them a headache, thus achieving the purpose of undermining the prestige of bearded men.
If this is the case, then it is very likely that you are the unlucky one.
After Li Tang quickly went through the pros and cons in his mind, he said calmly: "Director Huang, you can arrange this matter. I just have more time to prepare."
Huh?
A strange color flashed through Lao Huang's eyes. Don't young people today have no temper at all?
Li Tang's reaction surprised Lao Huang. Was it cowardice or considering the overall situation? Lao Huang leaned towards the latter, and he could not help but be impressed by the young man in front of him.
After all, everyone is willing to cooperate with good people who take the overall situation into consideration, instead of scheming with selfish people all day long, which is so tiring!
"good."
Lao Huang nodded with a slightly complicated expression. Although the goal hidden in his heart was not achieved, for him at least the following shooting work could proceed normally. If the trouble really breaks out, Beard's side will certainly be devastated, but his continued work as a director will inevitably be affected. It's hard to say whether the pros outweigh the cons.
Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing.
Lao Huang, who quickly figured it out, breathed a sigh of relief, patted Li Tang on the shoulder with a smile, and said meaningfully: "Xiao Li, I know what's going on."
As a person who has experienced a special era, Lao Huang naturally has his own set of experiences in protecting himself and fighting wisely. Whether you are trying to win over someone or you are trying to show your favor, no matter what it is, you must have as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible, so that you can remain invincible. As for Shao Bin's various remarks, in his opinion, pretending to be cool is fun for a while, but he doesn't know what will happen in the future. It's a completely brainless move.
Regarding Lao Huang's show of goodwill, Li Tang naturally went along with it and said hurriedly: "Please take care of Director Huang in the future."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Of course, Li Tang couldn't just give in. A person should assess the situation and don't care about the length of time. At present, he doesn't have the capital to challenge Shao Bin, so he should write this down first, and the future will be long. When the filming is halfway through and no one can be replaced, if Shao Bin continues to push the envelope, then he doesn't mind everyone breaking up, and it will be enough to allow him to stand on the moral high ground.
Everyone was very tired from the martial arts training that lasted for more than half a month. Going to the city was just a walk around to relax and taste the local food.
First update, please double the monthly ticket!
