Before a movie is released, no one knows whether it can make money. The star bonus can only attract traffic in the early stage. If the stars rely solely on the box office, Chow Run's method will not be called a box office poison.
On the set, Ding Xiu sent red envelopes to the actors one by one.
Those who received the red envelopes smiled and expressed their gratitude.
"Thank you Xiu Brother."
"Thank you, Director Ding."
"Thank you, Director Ding."
"Director Ding, where is my red envelope?"
At the end of the sending, Gao Yuanyuan mischievously reached out to Ding Xiu for a red envelope.
She was filming in Hengdian, and she knew that Ding Xiu and his crew were coming, so she joined in the fun.
Ding Xiu slapped her in the palm of her hand and said angrily: "No."
Gao Yuanyuan was unhappy: "Why do they all have them? I don't."
"Because you are not an actor on my crew."
"I can do it, too."
Ding Xiu rolled his eyes: "Stop making trouble, I don't have a role for you."
Xiuchundao is the drama of the male protagonist, and 80% of the scenes are all in Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan.
Even the heroine Zhou Miaotong has few scenes.
What can Gao Yuanyuan play when she comes here?
Playing a little maid and maid?
It's unrealistic.
"Just arrange a supporting role for me." Gao Yuanyuan thought for a while and said, "It's better to have a martial arts scene, such as one off the show."
Her schedule was tight, and Ding Xiu wanted to give her important roles, she didn't have time to act.
Her man finally became a director, and she couldn't say anything she didn't support, so she came here to make a guest appearance.
Ding Xiu was a little embarrassed and touched his chin and said, "There is a fighting scene where Wei Zhongxian can be adjusted. Then, let's get you a role of a woman dressed in a man. Do you know swordsmanship?"
"Yes, you forgot, I've filmed the Legend of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber."
Gao Yuanyuan has been filming costume dramas many times, the Legend of the Condor Heroes, and is the best in the world. She has filmed martial arts scenes herself. One of these two characters uses swords and the other uses swords.
So she can play with swords.
"Okay, I'll ask the screenwriter to get you a role and you can arrange the schedule."
It's just an ordinary supporting role, which doesn't affect the overall plot and is harmless. Ding Xiu agreed.
Without letting the crew subdue themselves, Gao Yuanyuan said: "No, after you finish it, set the time, I'll just come here."
Ding Xiu was moved to come and played the guest role and had to spend time on the crew. There were not many such people. He immediately gave Gao Yuanyuan a red envelope.
When he opened the red envelope, he saw that it was twelve yuan. Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes: "Your crew is really stingy."
Ding Xiu haha: "It's all for actors, it's for ordinary special appointments."
"If you don't be in charge of your business, you don't know how expensive the food and rice are. The crew is full of places to spend money. If you can, save as much as possible."
As soon as the machine was opened, it cost money like flowing water, which was more expensive than the ICU ventilator. Looking at the daily expenses of the bills coming from the financial statements, Ding Xiu took a few strokes of his heart.
Gao Yuanyuan put the money in her pocket and gave it to Ding Xiu: "I have received the red envelope. If you don't have enough funds, you can come to me. If I have money in my card, I will sell the Siheyuan."
"I thank you, I'm using all my money." Ding Xiu almost cried.
His cards are kept for Gao Yuanyuan, and the Siheyuan is also his.
The relationship is to turn the left hand into the right hand.
On tiptoe and patted Ding Xiu on the shoulder, Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Isn't your money my money? Why do we share it so clearly? Remember, if you don't have enough, come to me to get it."
"I still have a chance to go there, so I'll go there first. You'll have dinner together when you finish work in the evening."
...
"Each department is ready!"
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"start!"
In addition to directors, Ding Xiu also works as a part-time starring actor. He cannot direct the director while filming. This will be the commander of the deputy director Lu Yang.
In the dark night, two people were chatting, talking about Wei Zhongxian who had just fallen. When they walked to an alley, they heard a strange noise and leaned over.
"Who, come out!"
The lantern on the hand approached, and in the dark, it reflected a cold cheek, thick eyebrows, high nose bridge, thin lips, slightly wind-frosted skin, and sparse stubble on the lips.
The light went down, and when he saw the other person wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered sword straddling around his waist, he was so scared that he fell to the ground.
"Jin, Jin, Jin."
"The Jinyiwei handles the case, get out!"
Chen Lian, who was wearing a black flying fish suit, immediately walked out of the alley. Behind him was a team of Jinyiwei's subordinates, all of whom were flying fish suits and embroidered spring swords, and everyone had murderous aura on their faces.
After walking a few steps, I came to the door of Chen's mansion.
With the help of his two subordinates, Chen Lian easily climbed up the wall on their thighs, and jumped in as light as a swallow.
In front of the monitor, Lu Yang shouted, then put down his headphones.
"Only Brother Xiu can shoot this scene."
"I'm fucking like a four-meter-high wall, I just jumped in like this, and I didn't even rehearse at all."
Four meters is indeed not high, but for those who have not been trained, they will jump down for a while and jump up so smoothly while stepping on their thighs. Lu Yang feels that people who have been trained may not be able to do this. Effect.
If it was another crew, this scene would definitely be a substitute from martial arts or parkour.
"continue!"
Ding Xiu tidied up his collar and turned his head and said.
The camera followed him all the way to a room in Chen's mansion. After a while, two untidy women were pulled out and brought Chen Lian to Lord Chen's study.
At this time, Lord Chen is arranging things for his younger brother and asked him to take his wanted criminal Xu Xianchun to run away to Xizhimen.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Lord Chen's younger brother asked in confusion.
The two women were as close as their parents and dared not speak.
Until Chen Lian's figure walked out from behind the two: "Mr. Chen, Chen Lian is in Xiabei Town Fushi."
"Mr. Shen, even if he is the Jinyiwei, he will break into my mansion in the middle of the night, there should be an explanation."
"The adults know why I am here."
"Bang!"
After the literary drama, a martial arts drama began. Lord Chen's younger brother immediately started to attack Chen Lian, drew his sword and chopped it. Unfortunately, he was crushed by Chen Lian with one hand, his whole arm was pierced, and his nose and face were nailed to the table.
In this scene, the actor who plays the younger brother of Lord Chen is a martial arts master. He has been practicing martial arts for more than ten years and is extremely skilled in action scenes. It is considered a co-production with Ding Xiu, and there is no mistake.
But there were three shots in this martial arts game, and Ding Xiu kept the last one in the end.
When he came to Lord Chen's side, Chen Lian directly threatened the other party with Lord Chen's daughter and wife. He had the meaning of not saying that he would come to the father in minutes...
"Don't touch my daughter, she's only fourteen years old, I said, I said."
"Click, pass!"
"I throw it!"
Lu Yang put down his headphones and looked at Ding Xiudao who walked over to watch the replay: "Which talent is the screenwriter of this scene? The Jinyiwei was so badly hacked. This is not the Jinyiwei, it is even darker than the underworld."
After filming the first scene tonight, Jinyiwei was completely a villain, Chen Lian was a powerful martial arts but despicable, shameless, cold-blooded general flag.
This is different from the previous Jinyiwei. In previous film and television dramas, the camp where the protagonist is located is generally just, with most good people. Even the infamous Jinyiwei will become righteous and punish evil.
Ding Xiu is good. Wherever he goes, he will be a villain's nest.
"I made up this scene." Ding Xiu said lightly: "I'm considering mercy. The real Jinyiwei is much darker than this. I didn't restore the real scene mainly because I was afraid that I could not pass the trial."
That's the Jinyiwei. How many people were killed in the three major cases of the Ming Dynasty? Even the Jinyiwei in the later period was frightened.
What makes people scare is not their infamous reputation, but their means of doing things, all kinds of grievances, coercion and temptation.
For example, in today's scene, if Lord Chen really didn't tell Xu Xianchun's whereabouts, the Jinyiwei took turns to deal with his family.
The plot is so hot that it is no worse than the movies in Sakura Country.
Afterwards, his family members were also charged into the Jiaofangsi.
Lu Yang sneered: "If you restore it, our crew will have to go in."
"Stop being poor, watch the replay." Ding Xiu sat skillfully in front of the monitor and watched the replay just now.
Mainly watching the literary opera part.
Fortunately, it was just the first scene, and there were only a few lines in total, so there was no problem.
Five minutes later, the second scene began to be arranged.
According to Ding Xiu's instructions, a lot of mud was sprinkled on the street, and some rotten vegetables were also sprinkled. Both sides of the street were arranged like inhabited.
This is almost the case with the Ming Dynasty in his memory.
In terms of details, Ding Xiu is the most detailed director Lu Yang has ever seen.
Take the house as an example. According to the routine of the general director, it’s almost enough. Anyway, I don’t shoot it inside, it’s just a street drama.
Dante Xiu was different. He asked someone to go to the house to arrange a bed, test the quality of the windows, design a chimney, and create a picture of someone living in it.
The second scene was a chase scene. Jin Yichuan chased Xu Xianchun and wiped the other party's neck with two neat swords.
Combined with Chen Lian’s previous practice, their team of Jinyiwei is a complete villain.
Xu Xiancun ran out of the alley and stopped, because directly in front of him, Lu Jianxing was waiting for him with a long sword in his arms, with more than a dozen Jinyiwei holding crossbows.
The three brothers gathered together, and they were not as happy as they imagined. The eldest brother Lu Jianxing sighed and said that the eunuch party had fallen, and all the things assigned to them were offensive.
The third brother Jin Yichuan wanted to borrow money, and the second brother Chen Lian gave him two taels of silver and told him that this was not the case, it was not a solution.
Jin Yichuan seemed to have a hidden secret in his words.
The crew started work at 8 o'clock in the evening, and it was already twelve o'clock after filming these two scenes, and the crew finished work.
The other actors returned to the hotel, and Ding Xiu continued to watch the replay. It was not until Gao Yuanyuan called and remembered that she had an appointment with her, so she ran to have a meal.
The next day, the shooting continued.
The crew is divided into two groups.
One shot Chen Lian and Zhou Miaotong, the other shot Ding Xiu and Jin Yichuan.
In Nuanxiang Pavilion, Liu Sisi was lying on the bed wearing a thin gauze, and the firewood in the brazier next to her was burning.
Deep and add firewood to it.
"Come up and go to bed." Zhou Miaotong, who woke up, was not curious, did not yell, but said calmly.
"No, I'm fine here." Chen Lian stood up and sat on the chair. His eyes did not look at Zhou Miaotong's figure, but looked forward.
Zhou Miaotong said: "Come to Nuanxiang Pavilion, if you spend money, you will not go to bed, you will only have the only one."
Chen Lian lowered his head and rolled his throat for a moment, but he still said calmly: "When I save enough money, I will redeem you."
Outside, he was looking for Zhou Miaotong's client and was shouting loudly, clamoring to ask Zhou Miaotong to clean up and accompany him. The madam was persuading the other party and asking him to wait a little longer, and it would be him later.
The two people in the room heard such a loud sound, but they also seemed to be unheard, as if they were used to it.
Zhou Miaotong's calm face was a little more ridiculed: "My Lord General Banner, your salary will redeem me?"
"Besides, this is a brothel in Jiaofangsi. No one can get out without the documents of the Ministry of Justice."
After the words came to an end, Zhou Miaotong's face calmed down again, her tone was very depressed, and she had already accepted her fate.
"Ka!"
"Si Si's expression should not be so obvious, you should express your emotions in a tone."
Lu Yang stopped and corrected Liu Sisi's performance flaws.
Ding Xiu nodded, expressed his approval, and told her the play: "Zhou Miaotong can be said to be the credit of Chen Lian today. Her whole family was killed. This is a blood feud. She, a weak woman, could not kill Chen Lian, and she has been here for a long time again. She has accepted her fate by being ruined by a man.”
"So she is not grateful for the deep and refined. She is under her calm face, and she is struggling with a torrent of inner struggle. She is a little cruel when she mocks her."
Liu Sisi scratched her head and wondered: "Brother Xiu, what is a calm face and a struggle in her heart?"
Ding Xiu stood up, I'll perform for you, you'll perform Chen Lian and cooperate with me.
Facts have proved that Ding Xiu still has two skills. Not only can he act in martial arts, but he is no weaker than Liu Sisi in female dramas.
For some reason, Liu Sisi suddenly had an idea that if a man becomes slutty, there is nothing to do with women.
How did Ding Xiu demonstrate? Liu Sisi acted as a show, and it was not difficult at all.
This scene was spent without any danger.
Next door, Zhou Yiwei and Song Yang have had several NG scenes, but they have not met the standards. The assistant director is worried.
Zhou Yiwei played well, without any problems, and Song Yang was also good, but for some reason, it seemed that he was almost meaningful. That was the meaning, and he kept the whole circle.
Zhou Yiwei collapsed: "Director, why don't you give me a standard, I will act according to it."
He changed four or five performance methods, because the role of Ding Xiu was eating steamed buns when he appeared, so he ate more than a dozen of them and his stomach was so full.
I want to vomit when I see the steamed buns.
"Brother Xiu, you're here just in time." The deputy director saw Ding Xiu's figure and stood up and waved: "Can you use your understanding to act Ding Xiu's appearance?"
"What, didn't you take a photo?"
"It almost makes me feel different from when you read the script before. Why don't you tell them the show?"
"I'll watch the replay first."
Sitting in front of the monitor, Ding Xiu quickly finished watching the performances between Zhou Yiwei and Song Yang, then got up and came to the scene and said to Song Yang: "Let's do it again, I will play Ding Xiu, you are the same."
This scene is Ding Xiu's home scene, and the main focus lies in Zhou Yiwei.
He has to play "self" to show the other party.
Play yourself, don't say it, it's weird.
Asking Zhou Yiwei to give him the Miao Dao, Ding Xiu took a few steps back and walked out of the darkness, carrying the knife, and eating steamed buns in his mouth.
"Senior Brother." Song Yang spoke.
Without getting a conversation, Ding Xiu walked over while eating, bent down, looked up, and said with no stinginess: "What are you looking at?"
I haven't eaten steamed buns for many years and I'm a little choked, so Ding Xiu even swallowed it.
"I'm afraid that your friends who are working in the office will see me, don't worry, they have already walked a long way."
"Senior brother, I took the silver, go quickly." Song Yang took out two taels of silver.
Seeing that money was jealous, Ding Xiu threw away half of the remaining steamed buns and wiped his hands on the clothes on his chest. This was his respect for silver, and then sighed:
