Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 112: No snow? Then I can also let Li Xunhuan and Ah Fei meet in the snow!
"A guy who can take a bath with an old woman! He must be a money-grubber!"

"Boss is right! Boss is really good at judging people!"

"We're throwing money at him. We have a movie for him to film, so it's not unfair to him."

"That's right. If he comes over, Chen Hong's project will be delayed, hahahaha..."

Shi Li and Guan Peng were celebrating in heaven on earth with bottles of champagne and so on.

Anyway, I was very happy this time.

It seemed that the previous attack on Liu Ye did not have much killing power.

I guess I didn't grasp the exact target.

This time, after some investigation, Jiao Enjun was finally found.

It turns out this person is in Chen Hong’s new play.

Looking at Jiao Enjun's appearance again... Shi Li is simply unable to control himself.

Take action and spend money directly!
Spend big money!
This guy is having a great dream and is even celebrating it now.

However, another piece of news soon came from there.

"What? He's still hesitating?"

"This guy won't accept my toast, so he'll have to drink a forfeit! Otherwise..."

"No, give him a chance! Anyway, I don't believe that Chen Hong can offer a higher price than me."

Shi Lu was full of confidence, and Guan Peng said nothing more.

In fact, their confidence is justified.

The current pay for actors in our country is indeed very low.

Speaking of height...actually, the ones that are well-known are taller.

Chow, Yi Chen and Jet Li.

For others, it is really difficult to exceed one million.

Jiao Enjun is an artist from Taiwan Province, and he is notoriously stingy when it comes to film pay.

Otherwise, how could he make up his mind to develop in the mainland?

We actually have an advantage here in mainland China, although the pay is low.

But you can shoot commercials.

Aunt Xiaoqing became the richest woman in China by shooting commercials. Her movies "Little Flower" and "Furong Town" had high box office.

But you can only earn a fixed salary, and at most you can get a bonus.

By the way, how much money did Shili spend this time?

100 million!
Moreover, he promised to play the leading role in three movies and TV series.

It must be admitted that this is indeed extremely tempting.

Faced with such a great temptation, how long can Jiao Enjun hesitate?

……

Zhangjiakou.

The famous mushroom here is a kind of mushroom.

The name of the mushroom Tricholoma is derived from the place where it was grown.

And there is one thing that is abundant here, and that is strong wind.

Not far from the capital, the wind was strong and frequent.

This... is really great!

"Yes! Here it is!"

Ma Xun is now Ma Bond, and he led our "The Flying Dagger" team to Zhangjiakou.

Then we went straight into the mountains and chose a mountain pass.

Although it is this season now, there is really no shortage of wind in this place.

As soon as our team arrived at this type of situation, we immediately felt like we couldn't stand still.

"Teacher Ma, is this place okay?"

Our handsome guy Jiao’s hair was blown into a mess.

"Don't worry! It's no problem!"

Ma Xun is very confident.

"My Director Ma, are you going to shoot here?"

Sister Hong naturally came too.

Now I finally understand what Ma Xun is up to.

Before coming, Ma Xun just said one sentence.

"Let's start filming this play now. Let's shoot an exterior scene first, and film the content of the first chapter of the book."

Chapter one?
The key point is: in the book!

Our show is the TV series "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li", not the novel "The Sentimental Swordsman".

You know, if a novel is to be turned into a film or TV series, it must be adapted.

And it needs to be adapted according to our current situation.

The beginning of our TV series must be different from the novel.

The biggest difference is obvious.

It’s almost summer now, but the first chapter of the novel is written very clearly.

Chapter title: Flying Knives and Swift Swords.

The opening is like this:
The cold wind is like a knife, treating the earth as a chopping board and all living beings as fish.

Snow flies for thousands of miles, turning the sky into a furnace, melting everything into silver.

Look at these sentences, let’s not talk about the writing style.

The key is clear instructions.

Li Xunhuan met Ah Fei in winter.

To be exact.

When Li Xunhuan learned that the Plum Blossom Thief who had been a scourge in the martial arts world many years ago had reappeared, he was afraid that something might happen to Lin Shiyin, so he brought a bearded man with him into the country.

This bearded man is called Tie Chuanjia, and he is skilled in the art of Iron Shirt.

He is also a rare master in the world.

He just followed Li Xunhuan and was willing to be his servant, but Li Xunhuan treated him as a brother.

In this heavy snow, the two of them met Ah Fei.

Ah Fei’s appearance in the book is very unique.

He was like a lone wolf in the snow.

His back was straight.

I won’t go into details about these, the key is the natural environment!
It’s snowing heavily and it’s windy and snowy.

What are you going to do now, Ma Xun?
So, just change it.

Why don’t we just let Li Xunhuan and Ah Fei meet in the current season?

So, Sister Hong said with a sweet smile, "My Director Ma, there's really no need to film it the way it's in the book."

There's nothing wrong with that.

In fact, this version in the original time and space is like this.

However, Ma Xun smiled and said, "I understand what Sister Hong means, but I promise that I can capture the image of 'snow'."

Snow? Where does the snow come from?

Jiao Enjun looked suspicious, but some people were more straightforward.

"Director Ma, you're not going to make snow, are you?"

The person speaking is Jin Song, the 'Iron Armor' in our play.

He was specially appointed by Ma Xun.

In fact, the character Tie Chuanjia does not appear in many film and television versions.

After all, if you delete this character's story line, it won't have much impact.

It's quite difficult to find such a person.

He has to be strong, fierce, and good at acting.

Ma Xun thought for a long time before he finally thought of Jin Song.

Actually, Zang Jinsheng could also do the role, but he is currently filming the CCTV version of "Water Margin".

It can only be this Jin Song.

This person is still quite young, but he is growing up too fast.

Some people are like this, like Uncle Benshan.

When on the same stage with Aunt Xiaoqing, Uncle Benshan always has to emphasize that he has to call Xiaoqing "sister".

Ageless old age... is also a kind of ageless age.

By the way, does Ma Xun really want to make snow?

"That's not necessary. We don't have that much money."

Ma Xun’s words are quite practical, especially the latter part.

Sister Hong knew that this guy was good at saving money.

But this makes me even more curious.

"How are you going to shoot it?"

Her question expressed what everyone was thinking.

Ma Xun laughed and pointed out a person directly.

"Brother Wu Jing, come here, let me take your picture first."

"Oh, sure."

Wu Jing is still very young now, but he dressed up for the filming this time.

A lone wolf in the snow.

Of course, I wore clothes made of animal skins.

But how do I shoot this?

Wu Jing doesn't like to talk now, but fortunately there are many acquaintances around this time.

This time, Ma Xun did not bring any martial arts director, which means there will definitely be no fighting scenes.

But, what about old man Zhang Xinyan?

The old man said before: I am here to learn too.

So, now everyone has to listen to director Ma Bangde.

So...

“Find the most powerful opportunity.”

"what?"

"Don't let the wind blow you in the direction you want. Face the wind and let it blow your hair up.

It’s best if the wind straightens your hair, and then you open your eyes.”

"Open your eyes? Ah... Director Ma, my eyes are hurting a little bit..."

What a howling wind.

It doesn't matter if it's uncomfortable.

Ma Xun even ordered Wu Jing to open his eyes to face the wind, which was really a bit too much.

But it’s not over yet.

"Hurry up, it will be over in a moment, hold on to the sword."

That's not a sword, it looks like a broken wooden stick.

But this is Ah Fei's sword in the book, and the wooden stick is the scabbard.

Wu Jing is speechless. He still has to act. It's really...

What a strong wind!
It’s worthy of being the wind outlet, the wind is really strong.

But Ma Xun immediately brought the machine over.

"Good! Hold on, this is good, good... come on, hit the board! Hit the board!"

Wow, so many people are busy.

Sister Hong was beaten with a stick.

This board is necessary to facilitate editing in the future.

This time, Ma Xun still used a movie camera.

He made up his mind to make this drama into a movie-level TV series.

There is no way, the scene in the original TV series is too tragic.

Of course, it costs a lot of money, but it’s okay, after all, most of these actors were recruited by him.

For example, Wang Binxian.

She came in a car, with two other people beside her, Yuanyuan and Bingbing.

They didn't get out of the car. There was no other way. The wind was too strong there. They could just watch from a distance.

"Oh, um, that..."

"It must be hard for Xiao Wu to see."

"Of course he cried, tears streaming down his face in the wind."

The three of them started laughing as they talked. In fact, they just came here to have fun.

But I didn't expect to see this kind of filming scene now.

Fortunately, Wu Jing was not praised too harshly.

Ma Xun quickly called out "Cut".

No one understood, but no one dared to say anything.

Now everyone understood that Ma Bangde had great power. "Next, it's your turn."

Li Xunhuan and Tie Chuanjia?
They just followed the arrangements, but an interesting scene occurred again.

"Bring me the things I prepared."

What did Ma Xun prepare?

Everyone has actually seen it before.

It is a plum tree.

The plum blossoms are not very good, they were bought locally in Zhangjiakou.

I bought it quite casually and bargained with the flower seller for a long time.

There is also a flower pot below, which is a gift.

But what is this thing used for?
“See that mountain pass?”

Ma Xun pointed to a corner ahead.

Jiao Enjun and Jin Song nodded repeatedly.

"You two, just come over there. Don't worry about anything else. Just one of you drives the carriage while the other leans out half of his body to look at the scenery."

"clear."

What a simple play.

In the book, Li Xunhuan and Tie Chuanjia entered the customs in a horse-drawn carriage.

Now, let's recreate this scene.

but!

“There’s still no snow.”

Sister Hong couldn't help but remind her.

Ma Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry."

As he spoke, he started looking for the angle with the camera again.

So strange, really strange.

Ma Xun shouted again, "God Ike!"

Sister Hong comes to hit the board again.

But Ma Xun did not take a picture of Li Xunhuan and Tie Chuanjia, he actually took a picture of the plum blossoms.

Moreover, he did not take a picture of the entire plum tree.

I just borrowed a branch from the tree, and the few winter plum blossoms on it.

But when Li Xunhuan and the other person appeared, Ma Xun's camera began to deviate.

Sister Hong has filmed many dramas, and she immediately had a picture in her mind.

It means that plum blossoms come first and then people.

Use plum blossoms to set off the characters?

This guy Ma Xun is really good at taking photos.

"Okay! Next, Ah Fei meets Li Xun Huan."

This shot was simple. Ma Xun filmed the two of them, one getting on and the other getting off a car.

But, it was also very simple to complete.

Such and such...

"We're done filming! We can call it a day."

what? !

"Is it that simple?"

“Is it really filmed?”

"Where's the snow? There's no snow."

Although, everyone shot very quickly, it can be said that they were not tired at all... Oh, that's not right, Wu Jing suffered a lot.

But this is too easy!

Ma Xun smiled and said, "Give me a day, and we will be able to see this scene tomorrow night."

Really?

Many people don’t believe it.

But, just wait a day.

The next night.

All members of "Xiao Li Flying Dagger" were now gathered in a room.

Some simple equipment is prepared here.

"Okay, let me show you the finished film."

Did he really figure it out?
Jiao Enjun was extremely surprised.

As for the others... probably only Sister Qing has some confidence.

As for Mr. Zhang, he just smiled and said nothing.

The other three beauties are Wang Yunxian, Yuanyuan, and Bingbing.

The three of them looked more and talked less.

Of course, everyone is extremely curious.

None of us saw any snow.

Ma Xun, how could a guy like you possibly present the contents of the novel?
At this moment, the lights went out and then the projector came on.

A picture appeared on the small screen.

There was no sound, but a chill came over me!
The scenery of the north is covered with ice and snow for thousands of miles!

This is the picture presented in front of everyone.

And then, a person appeared in the picture.

hooligan!

He stood there alone.

The merciless cold wind blew his hair.

But he stood proudly, fearless!
Next, a few winter plum blossoms appeared in the picture.

The branches are old, as if they were fighting against the sky to produce such beautiful plum blossoms.

As the camera turns, a carriage appears...

Seeing this, everyone in the room exclaimed.

"It's amazing!"

“This is what the novel is about!”

"We didn't even dare to write that in the script!"

"There really wasn't any snow yesterday."

Yes, there was indeed no snow yesterday.

Ma Xun smiled and said, "It's very simple. I picked the snow from other materials. It's not copyrighted. It just depicts the snow scene.

Actually, I just used some montage techniques.

How about it, it feels pretty good, right? "

very nice?
This is great!

Sister Hong was very good at handling things, and she immediately gave him a thumbs-up. "You are a genius!"

Just this whole picture.

Anyone who sees it will only have one feeling

Li Xunhuan meets Ah Fei in the snow!

There was indeed no snow in the shots Ma Xun took himself.

But he actually used many things to 'replace' snow.

Jiao Enjun really couldn't help it at this moment.

"Teacher Ma, this feeling, that is, this..."

“Plum blossom, I used plum blossom here.”

what?
For a moment, Ma Xun looked like Stephen Chow in "The God of Cookery".

However, what he said was not just a pretense.

"In the novel, there is a plum blossom thief, but when do plum blossoms bloom?

It's winter.

Therefore, the plum blossom has these two functions in my lens.

It’s a great way to accomplish the psychological implications.”

After he said that, I understood everything!

In fact, it’s not just the plum blossoms, there’s also the strong wind.

Ma Xun did not take pictures of the snow, but these things and the state of the characters.

All of them suggest that they are in the snow in winter.

Plus the snow scene materials found before.

perfect!

And such a clever lens design... Jiao Enjun immediately understood it.

"Teacher Ma, you are awesome! Really awesome!"

Ma Xun understood what he was going to say, so he simply pulled him out.

"Everyone, I want to talk to our Li Xun Huan about some private matters."

Of course there is no problem.

No one will say anything, and now there is still some content in this scene.

Just keep watching.

Ma Xun and Jiao Enjun came to the corridor and chose a place where there were not many people.

"Brother Jiao, I'm actually saving you."

"help me?"

"Don't you know that stone?"

"Stone Lichen? Who is he?"

"Oh, I see. The one who touched you was... Never mind. Let me tell you, the one who dug you out was actually Shiliu. Just look at this to see who he is."

Ma Xun gave some photos.

It's full of men, just their movements...

"Ah?! I actually..."

Ma Xun patted his shoulder and said, "It's just a small matter. Let's not go into details."

Of course Jiao Enjun understood.

"Teacher Ma, I am so grateful to you! Otherwise, I, my buttocks will be in danger! I must make this "Little Li Flying Dagger" a good one!"

Of course Ma Xun was very happy.

"How about this, you sign with Sister Hong's company. There should be a lot of dramas in the future."

"No problem! No problem at all!"

In fact, Ma Xun can use these photos first, although these photos don’t reveal anything.

But some of Shili's body movements are still very obvious.

However, Ma Xun still chose to conquer Jiao Enjun with his own lens and pictures first.

This is the kingly way.

My level is so strong, how can our "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li" be bad?
In fact, Ma Xun would not always follow the crew for filming.

He just designed the storyboard and then asked Sister Qing or others to shoot it according to it.

But considering the strength he has shown now... Jiao Enjun will definitely join him.

This probably isn't considered a scam, although he, the handsome guy Jiao, thanked us.

And what happened next was very clear to Ma Xun.

He has to deal with this stone paste properly.

But he also knew that Shi Li was not easy to deal with. This guy had the support of the financial system and was very powerful.

Strength means money, and it's so easy for this bastard to make money.

Hmm...I thought of a key point.

"Brother Jiao, how much did they offer you?"

"Hey, Mr. Ma, you don't have to call me that. Just call me A-Jun."

"This matter is not important, answer my question first."

"Well, one million, and the leading actor in three plays."

"It's a huge investment. Did they say how much they would invest in each movie?"

"They didn't specify, but they said it was at least 30 million."

Hey!
Ma Xun laughed after hearing this.

You know what, I actually found out some useful things.

……

Heaven on earth.

There was another crackling sound coming from the best private room.

Yes, Jiao Enjun did not hesitate for long.

But I chose to refuse...
