Chapter 586 Action Comedy
The films directed by Jiang Heng are recognized as top resources in the industry.
Even first-line stars may not have the opportunity to participate in them.
Yin Zheng, a little unknown who has just entered the film and television industry, can have such an opportunity. Shen Teng, Wei Xiang and others are very envious.
When asked what type of film it is, everyone is a little less envious.
Action movies, that's really not!
Moreover, according to the current development of the film and television industry, even if they know kung fu, they will not shoot the kind of action movies with fists and flesh.
First, this type of film is not very popular. Second, you can make money by making light and funny comedies, and you can make a lot of money. Why suffer that?
Unless it is a comedy movie with the gimmick of an action movie, it can be considered.
Shen Teng thought that after Jiang's action blockbuster is released, if the market feedback is very good, he can release a "spoof" version.
This kind of thing is often done in the Hong Kong film market, especially by Director Wang Jing, so Jiang Heng is expected not to mind too much.
At worst, we can ask iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures for investment. He won't refuse to make money, right?
Speaking of which, Director Jiang seems to have a preference for action movies recently!
Shen Teng's thinking is somewhat unconstrained. Thinking of the sequel to "SPL" that Bona Pictures is preparing, and Jiang Heng's next movie, he suddenly said: "What do you think, let's make an action movie too?"
"Action movie?"
Chang Yuan said in his unique voice: "Can we shoot that kind of domineering and fierce iron fist style? I heard that the sequel to "SPL" that is being prepared recently will be more exciting than the first one!"
Shen Teng smiled, "We are a comedy team, we definitely can't go for the tough guy style, right?"
Song Yang glanced at Chang Yuan on the side and smiled and said: "The sissy style is almost right!"
"Go to hell!"
Several people talked and laughed, and didn't take it too seriously.
But after Song Yang went back, he was still a little concerned!
For the "Happy Twist" team at this moment, this is the best time.
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" earned 2.7 billion yuan, and "Charlotte's Troubles" will not be too bad. In today's Chinese-language film market, there are too many bosses and investors who want to cooperate with "Happy Twist", but there is a lack of suitable scripts.
If you really want to write a good one, the first choice is naturally iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures. If they don't approve, they can find other investors.
He didn't have many roles in "Charlotte's Troubles". Of course, the setting of being with Charlotte's mother at the end is really eye-catching.
Unfortunately, he did not participate in "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and was still a little transparent to the audience.
It doesn't really matter whether he is in the promotion activities or not.
Song Yang first conceived and wrote an opening, and then took leave to miss the promotion on the second day, and stayed at home to write the script.
The publicity team of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures naturally didn't care much about Song Yang, but Zhang Chen, the boss of Happy Twist, thought that since there was inspiration, it was worth a try, just in case the script was not bad!
In this way, Song Yang spent two days to write a first draft of a movie.
He showed it to Zhang Chen first, who thought it was pretty good, so he thought about visiting the crew of "Jingwei Filling the Sea" and talking to Jiang Heng about it.
Although Jiang Heng said during the last meal that he would not mind him cooperating with other film companies.
But Zhang Chen thought it would be better to meet Jiang Heng.
If Jiang Heng approved of the script, it would mean that it was more valuable, and he could "offer a high price".
If Jiang Heng disagreed, he would contact other companies.
During the negotiation, it can be said that Director Jiang was more optimistic about the script, but the share was not agreed.
If Jiang Heng did not approve of the script, or was dismissive, it meant that the quality of the script was really average.
Just fool an investor and shoot it randomly. With the current reputation of the team, it would be able to make money anyway.
Zhang Chen had a very good idea, but when he called to contact him, he found out that Jiang Heng actually went to Hong Kong to attend the new film press conference of "SPL 2".
There are only two places for filming this movie, Hong Kong and Thailand. The film company certainly cannot hold a new film press conference in Thailand, so Hong Kong was chosen.
Jiang Heng gave the crew two days off and took Yang Mi to attend the new film press conference of "SPL 2".
At the scene, the Hong Kong media reporters were sharp-tongued and asked tricky questions. They asked him if he was dating Yang Mi.
Jiang Heng denied it of course and said that he came here just to support the movie.
Yang Mi also said that she has liked kung fu movies since she was a child and liked the movie "SPL" very much. Of course, she also likes the city of Hong Kong, so the crew came here together during the holiday.
Hong Kong people naturally know Jiang Heng's filming principles. Every week or ten days or so, the crew must be given a day off.
Although it is impossible to have a weekend off, it is much better than other crews that exploit actors.
However, the reporters did not hear what they wanted, and they exchanged glances with each other. Many people secretly made up their minds to follow the filming.
Please...collect 6...books...!
If you can take a photo of Jiang Heng and Yang Mi being intimate, you will be rich.
After the new film press conference, Jiang Heng booked a hotel and invited the whole crew to dinner.
Director Ye Weixin smiled and came forward to toast, and said that he wanted to invite Jiang Heng and Yang Mi to guest star.
Jiang Heng asked who he wanted them to play, and Ye Weixin said that he wanted Yang Mi to play the pregnant woman who was kidnapped at the beginning, and Jiang Heng could play the husband of the pregnant woman.
Yang Mi was very interested in this setting, but after learning about the experience of the pregnant woman, she felt that it was not auspicious, so she refused after thinking about it.
Most people in the entertainment industry are superstitious.
Even Jiang Heng himself was unwilling to play such a role.
In the end, it was decided that both of them would play police officers. Yang Mi played a civilian policewoman and could show her face in the meeting where the police force analyzed the case.
As for Jiang Heng, he was arranged to play in the airport melee scene.
Because of the short time and high difficulty, Jiang Heng, based on the principle of "I'm here", temporarily played the director.
There was no need for the actors to improvise. The actors with frontal shots were told how to act.
This alone made Ye Weixin admire him very much.
After all, even if he is a director, he often doesn't know how to act in some scenes.
In this case, the director often tells the actor, I need you to dance, or I need you to show a sad state.
At this time, the talented actor often delivers a very perfect answer.
For example, when filming "The Legend of Su Qier", director Chen Jiashang didn't know how to show Su Chaharcan's sadness when facing the house raiding, so he let Zhou Xingxing act it himself.
As a result, Zhou Xingxing sat on a Luohan bed, squinting his eyes and singing Nanyin.
Director Chen Jiashang was stunned, and there was only one thought in his mind, this is a genius!
And at the filming site of the "SPL 2" crew, most people also think that Jiang Heng is a genius.
Although he didn't participate in the preparation of the film, he looked confident when he was dispatching and arranging on the scene, and when he was explaining the play to the actors, it seemed that the content of the film was all in his mind. (End of this chapter)
