Chapter 24

Just do it.

Jiangliu immediately negotiated with the scenic spot to pull steel cables on both sides of Slender West Lake.

I don’t have any opinions about the scenic spot.

The crew of "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair" has already registered with the Culture and Tourism Bureau and will also pay a fee. The scenic spot must meet the normal requirements of the crew.

The scenic spot agreed, and Jiang Liu also informed Dunn of his idea of ​​"pulling the steel cable to shoot the ship head-on, with a panoramic view of the scenery on both sides of the Slender West Lake must be beautiful" as a precaution.

Dunn agreed with little hesitation.

He filmed "Getting into the Wrong Sedan and Marrying the Right Man" with a sense of resentment.

In the past two years, the domestic TV drama market has been almost dominated by Taiwanese dramas and Hong Kong dramas.

Even Korean dramas and Thai dramas can enter the mainland TV market.

Deng En was furious and felt that the mainland's great market should not be handed over to others. The Qiong Yao drama was a piece of shit.

So, Dern used Xi Juan's novel "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair" as the backbone, and ancient Chinese culture as the flesh and soul, and worked hard to make a pure and humanistic costume drama.

Thus the current crew of "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair" was born.

The importance Dunn attaches to "Sedan" determines that Jiang Liu's ambitions will always succeed.

Putting down the phone, Jiang Liu said to Yan Yan: "Director Deng will arrive in a few days. We don't have much time. We will shoot tomorrow."

"There was no problem with the shooting. I was afraid of using overhead shots, so I brought two wires in the car. The problem was that there was too little martial arts, and it was very dangerous for the actors to hang on the lake."

Jiang Liu put his hands together and looked at the height of the steel rope and the lake surface. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay. I'll just fall a few times at most. The brave ones will be starved to death."

Yan Yan nodded helplessly, and his cell phone rang at the right time.

"It's yours. This month's mobile phone bill is covered by me." Yan Yan handed the phone to Jiang Liu.

"No problem." Jiang Liu picked up his phone and took a few steps towards the lake.

The call was from Yu Dong, mainly informing Ang Lee that the domestic release date of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was July 7.

"You have to submit the finished film to me for approval by mid-May at the latest." Yu Dong reminded Jiang Liu.

"I know, do you have a specific plan on how to act like a fool?"

"There are some. Is there anyone next to you?"

"Safety, please tell me, maybe I can check for you and fill in the gaps."

Yu Dong kept talking for 10 minutes. Jiang Liu nodded frequently and sighed in his heart, "There is a reason why this guy got rich."

Jiang Liu summarized Bona's three-part plan for "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger":
One, the poster is a hit.

Bona will choose to replace, cover up, and hide the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" posters with "Hidden Dragon, Hidden Dragon" posters in movie theaters in some second-tier cities, so that the audience who enters the cinema will be preoccupied with it.

[-]. The conductor misled

The conductor will give verbal guidance between "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", focusing on guiding the viewing of "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" in some small cinemas.

[-]. Trouble with bills
In 2000, handwritten tickets were still used, and mistakes in handwritten tickets were inevitable.

Decades later, this kind of trick is still occasionally performed, let alone now.

Jiang Liu rubbed his chin and made a suggestion: "Maybe you can also contact theaters in third- and fourth-tier cities. The copies of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won't even be taken care of by small theaters. I firmly believe that theater owners in third- and fourth-tier cities Would love to make a fortune with us.”

"It involves too many areas. I'm a little short of manpower here, and I'm afraid that things will get serious!" Yu Dong said worriedly.

Jiang Liu slandered and ridiculed Yu Dong, but said, "What are you afraid of? We didn't plagiarize, and we didn't hype it up. Who would it hurt if we just released our own movie?"

"Just because the two movies have similar names, Ang Lee can release them, but our movie has to be avoided? Is there any divine law or royal law?"

Yu Dong was silent on the other side of the phone, probably thinking that Jiang Liu was "somewhat too shameless" in his mind.After the discussion was over, Jiang Liu returned the phone to Yan Yan and told him to recruit Lin Yan.

He jumped on the boat himself and worked with the workers to pull the steel cable to the other side.

I was busy until the middle of the night before the pre-shooting work for the ending scene of "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" was completed. After two hours of sleep in Cuizhu Hotel, Jiang Liu was woken up by Yan Yan, and all the extras and props arrived.

"Do you see something is wrong?" When he saw Wang Baoqiang after boarding the boat, Jiang Liu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Wang Baoqiang shook his head naively: "I didn't see it."

"Stop pretending, I won't hide it anymore. Let's make another costume movie. We are the protagonists and we will shoot the ending scene later. Are you excited now? But there is no pay."

Wang Baoqiang didn't say whether he was excited or not.

He kept smiling, his pores dilated and he got goosebumps all over his body.

Even without a paycheck.

Putting on foundation, lip gloss, and costumes, Dai Weiya and Jiang Liu finished their busy work and it was already dawn. With a serious "Go", Jiang Liu and Wang Baoqiang were pulled to about ten meters by the extras acting as martial arts on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. high.

Until now, "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" has been filmed, and Jiang Liu himself has no idea what the film looked like.

Looking at the previous scene, it looks like an ancient traditional martial arts movie.

The protagonist and supporting characters were fighting on the ground, using all kinds of cold weapons.

At the end, the movie became more imaginative. The two protagonists jumped more than ten meters high, fought in the sky, ran on the lake and exchanged fists.

This style is a bit like Hu Jinquan and Tsui Hark!
Jiang Liu scratched his head depressedly, and then started fighting with Wang Baoqiang in the air.

It is difficult to film a good fight without touching the ground, and you have to take advantage of the situation to increase the excitement. Scheduling is difficult. Even though Jiang Liu has decades of experience in the crew, the finale of "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" is still missing. The night shoot lasted three whole days.

"How can I explain that so much film was used to shoot a trivial matter for three days?" Yan Yan said sadly.

Jiang Liu shot "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" in order not to leak any traces and save film, and never used it unless absolutely necessary. Dern never noticed that the film was used too fast.

But it will be difficult to muddle through this time.

There were so many NGs that the film they brought was almost used up.

Jiang Liu said without thinking: "Just say that the film was stolen when it was left in the car. Remember to go back at night and smash the side glass of the van."

Severe and speechless.

But he was already in too deep to turn back.

Jiang Liu smiled and comforted Yan Jun and said, "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters!"

"We have indeed done some ugly things, but when we become prosperous in the future, we will compensate those who were affected. Maybe they will be happy to have this bad relationship with us in the future."

Jiang Liu's brain circuit is not ordinary magical.

A week after the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was completed, Dern led dozens of people from the "Sedan" crew to settle in the Cuizhu Hotel.

Jiang Liu rushed back and forth among the crowd, but Yan Liang was nowhere to be seen.

After asking, I found out that when the crew left for the south, Yan Liang terminated his contract with the crew early due to family matters.

Dunn was outspokenly angry.

The duties of the crew of "Sedan" are basically a carrot and a pit. With Yan Liang gone, the second team of photographers, Yan Yan, can only take over the job.

Jiang Liu wondered what Yan Liang was doing.

He sent a message to Zhao Wenhong's pager, and in the evening he learned that Yan Liang was going to take "Along the Railway" to participate in a documentary exhibition abroad.

The corner of Jiang Liu's mouth twitched. He was trying to kill him!
　The Li Hong in the front has been changed to Li Xin, so it doesn’t affect the plot and you don’t have to look back!
