Chapter 1029 Destined?
Excellent film directors and TV series directors will definitely be good at fragment shooting.
The so-called fragmented shooting is to cut out the plots in movies and TV series and shoot them in different shooting orders, but finally edit these fragments into the correct order to form a normal and smooth movie or TV series.
Lin Lingdong has been trained in TV series in the past few years and "Prison." He cannot be said to be a perfect director, but he is definitely an excellent director.
The ground-breaking masterpiece of Yongsheng Film Company fell on him, and of course he knew whose credit it was.
Not to mention that Yongsheng couldn't afford to offend Xiang's family, but just for Jun Shao's trust and respect, he had to finish "October Siege".
The day he got the script, Lin Lingdong followed his own habit and read it carefully several times. Then he started to set up the model and simulated the plot several times until he had a complete impression in his mind. He just started to write his own storyboards.
After the storyboarding is finished, Lin Lingdong will compare it with Yin Jun's rough storyboarding to see where his own shortcomings are and what Yin Jun's storyboarding can make up for.
He is not afraid to change Yin Jun's scripts and scenes, because Yin Jun has told the outside world early on that not all of his scripts are the best. If there are better plot arrangements, atmosphere rendering, and plot arrangements, they can be completely arranged as follows Modify it according to your own wishes.
No one will try to change Yin Jun's script at all costs, because compared to Yin Jun, neither the director nor the producer is so amazing and talented, so everyone has now formed a habit of focusing on the details. Add your own understanding to make the whole story appear fuller.
Lin Lingdong did this when he was filming "Prison." Of course, when the film was finally completed, he also invited Yin Jun to watch it and provide opinions.
Now that he has more experience and confidence, Lin Lingdong will naturally add more things of his own.
It's not that Lin Lingdong is emboldened because "Prison" won the grand prize at the Cannes Film Festival, but Lin Lingdong now knows that Yin Jun doesn't care about this at all and can make the best movie based on his script. Good works are what Yin Jun values most.
Yongsheng gave Lin Lingdong the right to form his own crew. This was also because Yongsheng had just entered the film industry and they were unable to recruit many professional talents. They needed to make a few movies before they could build their own team.
This is also an important reason why they are looking for Yin Jun. Everyone must see that following you is profitable, so that they will join Yongsheng Film Company.
Lin Lingdong was not polite either. He brought over a group of people from Qilin Film Company that he could use easily.
While he was still working hard on the script in the office, this group of assistants had already started various preparations.
This includes the selection and construction of the scene, as well as the preparation of various costumes, equipment, materials, etc.
Today he came to the set not only to check the preparations of the set, but also to meet with a group of actors.
The cast of "October Siege" is so strong that, in Lin Lingdong's view, it is definitely a first for Hong Kong.
Don't mention anything else, just mention the two superstars Huang Yuanshen and Liang Xiaolong, which is enough to convince countless movie fans in Hong Kong and even Asia.
One "Huo Yuanjia" and one "Chen Zhen" have made these two popular all over Asia. Even in Japan, there are countless fans of them.
No one had dared to think of putting Huo Yuanjia and Chen Zhen together in a movie, and starring good and evil in a direct confrontation before.
Especially Liang Xiaolong. He originally liked majestic and positive roles. If he was suddenly asked to play a villain, he would be unlikely to agree to it under normal circumstances.
Only Yin Jun had such dignity. After personally visiting Liang Xiaolong's home, he persuaded Liang Xiaolong to take over the role.
Others, such as Xie Xian and others, are also very famous stars in Xiangjiang.
With so many big and small stars gathered in one crew, as a director, you can imagine the pressure involved.
Fortunately, behind Lin Lingdong, apart from Yin Jun, he himself is also a director who has won the Cannes Palme d'Or in record time, which is enough in terms of prestige.
Lin Lingdong is not worried about those famous actors. He mainly came to see the two actors selected by Yin Jun today.
Compared with other big and small stars, the two of them are the weakest link in the crew.
A young man named Jet Li is an actor from the Mainland, but he has only appeared in one movie. His main job is not acting, but performing martial arts.
Miss Li Zhi is familiar with Lin Lingdong. After all, Lin Lingdong is from Qilin TV. Lin Lingdong has met this beautiful woman who is said to be Yin Jun's new love several times. She is indeed beautiful. She smells like a beauty from the North Country, especially that figure... Well, once you see her, you will understand why she has become Jun Shao's favorite.
The roles of these two people are not the most important. They are much worse than Huang Yuanshen and Liang Xiaolong, and even inferior to Xie Xian.
However, with Yin Jun's approval, and Lin Lingdong can also feel the desperate and destructive power contained in Liu Yubai, the darkness that withers after blooming again, is very suitable for him, so Lin Lingdong is very happy. I want to shoot this scene beautifully.
…
Manager Zhu Xi informed her that it was 2 p.m. Lizhi had finished her part in the morning and only had time to go home and change clothes. Then she hurriedly got into Zhu Xi's car and arrived at the temporary studio in the New Territories.
Because the scenes of the October siege were all done more than 70 years ago, the best filming location was originally in Qiongkou City, Qiongdao, but Yongsheng was not willing to go there to film, so he could only find a few old people in the New Territories. Streets with piles of houses served as temporary filming locations.
There will also be some additional scenes at the Jiahe Photography City, but the main filming location is here.
Today is the first time that director Lin Lingdong summons the actors. In order to give him a good impression, Lizhi naturally has to be more diligent.
But when she arrived, she found that it was only 1:30 in the afternoon, but the place was already full of people.
"Why are you here so early?" Lizhi asked Zhu Xi in surprise after getting off the car in the parking lot.
"With such a big production and a gathering of stars, naturally everyone pays attention to it." Zhu Xi stood in front of Lizhi, carefully looked at her clothes and appearance, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's very beautiful. A beautiful woman, let’s go!”
Lizhi is already very tall and has a frighteningly good figure. Coupled with her peach-like face, she can score 80 points on her own.
In addition, after filming recently, she has learned a lot of dressing up, and she has naturally become a beauty with a score of 90 or above.
Since joining Kylin TV in August, in the past three or four months, Li Zhi has played supporting roles in 15 dramas. The number of roles is increasing, and now she has almost had the opportunity to appear in about 5 episodes.
The arrangement of Lizhi's scenes was all coordinated by Zhu Xi and the production team. With her status as Liang Shuyi's former assistant and various rumors in the company, the producers naturally wanted to give her face.
Even if Li Zhi's acting skills were far from up to standard, they would definitely hold their noses and admit it, otherwise they would definitely not be able to bear the burden of this vixen acting coquettishly and complaining in Master Jun's arms at night.
As the person Li Zhi trusts most now, Zhu Xi has figured out that this girl from mainland China is still a baby, and Jun Shao has not eaten her.
However, even Lizhi herself didn't know that Yin Jun had secretly called Zhu Xi several times to inquire about Lizhi's performance, and asked Zhu Xi to actively help her win roles and help her improve.
What the boss meant by doing this, according to Zhu Xi's own analysis, was to prepare this somewhat unsophisticated mainland girl to become a well-known star, and then to eat her up, which would give her a greater sense of accomplishment. .
All right.
Don't blame Zhu Xi for thinking too darkly. The entertainment industry is like this. It's hard for her to believe that Yin Jun doesn't ask for anything, but simply wants to help Lizhi.
Zhu Xi actually wished that Yin Jun would eat Lizhi early, so that she could achieve her goal and become the housekeeper of one of the concubines of the Yin family - she did not expect Lizhi to replace Guan Zhilin. Guan Zhilin was Yin Jun's childhood sweetheart. It is absolutely impossible to be replaced by another woman. The thought of replacing her is just asking for death.
Because many other actors had arrived, the two women also quickened their pace.
As a result, just when she was about to step into the courtyard of the studio, Lizhi unexpectedly collided with a person rushing from the side.
"Ouch~~"
Lizhi was already tall. After being hit, she lost her balance and fell down diagonally.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale. Just when she screamed, someone suddenly grabbed her arm, and then with such force, she was violently pulled back.
Suddenly, Lizhi ran into a man's arms.
Well……
It's a bit inappropriate to say it was in the arms, because she was taller than this man.
Lizhi, who was still in shock, had not yet reacted. She could only hold on to the man's hands to stand firm on her own, while her feet were still trembling.
"What did you do? So reckless?"
Zhu Xi only came back to his senses at this time, and while hurriedly supporting Lizhi, he also scolded the man.
Li Zhi released her grip on his arms and glanced at the man, finding that he was a pretty and handsome young man with a face full of embarrassment and apology.
"Yes... I'm sorry... I was too impatient..."
The handsome man quickly apologized, but what he said was not Cantonese, but Mandarin.
Standing next to him, there was another very beautiful girl. At the same time, she said in unskilled Cantonese: "I'm sorry, miss, you didn't get hurt anywhere, did you? It's our first time filming here. Let's go." I was on the wrong road, so I was rushing a little too fast and accidentally bumped into you, I’m so sorry!”
"Filming? You guys?"
Zhu Xi was not an idiot. Before he could express his anger, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, "Which crew are you from? What role do you play?"
"It's the crew of "October Siege". My boyfriend plays a character named Liu Yubai." The girl replied.
"Ah, it's you!" Zhu Xi's face softened a little, and he said in less proficient Mandarin, "It just so happens that our Lizhi is also in the crew of "October Siege", and she plays the role of the woman Liu Yubai can't forget. !”
"What a coincidence!?"
Li Lianjie and Huang Qiuyan exclaimed at the same time.
"Yes, what a coincidence!" Lizhi calmed down and stretched out her hand, "Mr. Li, I hope we can have a happy cooperation... I am also from the mainland, and I am from Shanghai."
"oh……"
Li Lianjie was a little uncomfortable with this kind of etiquette, and shook hands with Lizhi gently, his face still a little red.
"Then let's go over there first, see you later!" Lizhi smiled, turned around and walked inside.
To her, Li Lianjie was just a fellow countryman, and there was nothing worth caring about.
However, Li Zhi didn't notice the flash of surprise in Li Lianjie's eyes when he casually looked at her beautiful back.
