Chapter 52 Jiang Liu’s outlook on life
Night.

'Tongfu Inn' has swaying candlelight and longing figures.

"Fan Ming, Xiao Jian, have you found the feeling? Can you shoot it?"

In the inn, Yan Ni, Sha Yi and other leading actors were ready to go. Jiang Liu opened his mouth to urge Fan Ming and Xiao Jian, who had the biggest roles tonight.

The crew is still having night scenes today, mainly filming the ninth and tenth episodes [Mo Xiaobei sleepwalks in the movie city] and [The strong and courageous man catches the head and drinks strong alcohol].

"Get ready, you can come."

Fan Ming's cry came from outside the inn, and Jiang Liu signaled a serious start.

At the same time, he shouted outside: "Three two one, come in."

In the night, two figures wandered in front of the inn. As Yan Ni said, "Oh, what a god," the host turned to Xing Captou and Yan Xiaoliu at the door.

In the camera, Xing Baotou and Yan Xiaoliu have two blushing monkey-like butts, which look like they are drunk.

Among them, Lao Xing still had a smile on his face.

Yan Xiaoliu clung to Lao Xing with sleepy eyes.

"where is the guy"

When Fan Ming mentioned the wine gourd and said his lines, Jiang Liu said decisively: "Stop, Fan Ming, your smile just now doesn't seem so funny."

The director stopped, and Yan Ni and others rushed to the brazier without stopping. Fan Mingze, who was named by Jiang Liu, asked, "Is there a problem with the performance?"

Jiang Liu didn't say yes or no, but instead said: "Let's look back at the camera and find the reason."

"Wulin Gaiden" is a comedy.

Comedies have been difficult to shoot since ancient times, because most of the comedy effects are reflected in the actors' performances.

Stephen Chow's nonsensical movies are very popular among young people. Some young people like the plot in the movie, some like the lines in the movie, and some like the nonsensical and irrelevant plot in the movie.

But in the final analysis it is Stephen Chow's performance.

In other words, if Stephen Chow simply goes to that station, his action will attract young people more and make him more funny.

In the early 90s, when Stephen Chow's nonsensical films were most popular, Hong Kong film and television companies and directors followed suit with nonsensical comedy films.

There are many wonderful scenes, lines, and plots in these movies, but the result is that those who imitate Stephen Chow will die.

Even after more than ten years, comedy movies directed by Stephen Chow but not starring in them have never reached their peak and are not bought by the audience. It is because of the lack of Stephen Chow's performance.

Therefore, in a comedy, the actor's demeanor and body movements, that is, the performance, are particularly important.

Jiang Liu stopped because of a smile, not to be picky.

After Ning Hao played the camera on the monitor backwards several times, Jiang Liu asked Fan Ming, "Can you see it?"

"Not enough. What's that word called?"

"Silly." Jiang Liu blurted out.

"Yes, Director Jiang hit the nail on the head."

Fan Ming may not be famous, but he has been an amateur actor in the military since the [-]s. He has rich acting experience and has mastered the role of Capt. Xing early on.

Therefore, after Jiang Liu reminded him, Fan Ming understood how to display this smile.

Jiang Liu nodded and shouted, "Get ready to do it again," and said to the young actors Wang Baoqiang, Liu Tao, and Nazha:

“There are many kinds of laughter and their meanings are very different.”

"Haha: Maybe I'm in a very happy mood."

"Haha: I may be in a relaxed mood, or I may be sarcastic."

"Hehe: It's a bit silly."

When it comes to directing actors' acting skills, Jiang Liu is naturally better than directors of his age.

Even older directors.

He has been working in the film and television industry for more than 20 years and has seen all kinds of people and personalities. He also has a lot of experience. Training actors to act is not a big deal.

"Three two one, come in."

Shopkeeper Tong: "Oh, what a god"

At the door of the inn, a red-faced and thick-necked Xing Baotou lowered his eyebrows and said "hehe".This time, there was no call to stop. Xing Baotou wandered into the inn, raised his wine gourd and shouted: "Where are the people, where are the people."

"I'm not a human being?" As Shopkeeper Tong spoke, he pushed away the burping Xing Captou in disgust: "How much have you drunk?"

Xing Baotou drunkenly handed out the gourd: "It's not much, fill it up for me."

"Did you drink it all?"

"Ah, for the people, for the people"

"Okay, this scene is over, get ready for the next scene."

After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he yawned involuntarily.

He has been running around here and there and staying up late in recent days, and his energy is somewhat depressed.

If "Wulin Gaiden" hadn't been too important, he would have left the crew to Ning Hao and went back to his residence to sleep.

His position in this life is enjoyment.

Shooting night scenes is too tiring and physically damaging, so he wouldn't want to hurt his body unless he had no choice but to do so.

He had seriously considered it early on, as long as he got a few more companies, and when these companies had accumulated a certain amount of funds, he would leave all the night scenes in the crew to the executive director when he started filming again.

As for himself, he should sleep well, take care of himself, and visit tourist attractions around the world when he has time.

When you see the scenery and cities you like on the way, take a rest.

When you get tired of it, just continue on the road, enjoying the scenery and hunting for beauty along the way.

When you reach the age of 90 or [-] and you can’t play anymore and your brain is confused, you should contact Musk’s company or send your own rocket into space.

If he has many children and most of them are filial, he will bury himself in his hometown and leave a memory for future generations.

Jiang Liu's outlook on life has basically been like this.

Life is full of grass and trees, earn more money, have fun and drink well, kick your legs and get a cup of loess, why do you care about so many bullshit?

But there is also a possibility that his company did something that benefited the people and the country, which led to the name Jiangliu being called for many years.

Or maybe he had enough fun for a while, and some of Jiitchpai's works remained popular even after his death.

After all, things are impermanent.

He paused and filmed for a while, staying up until two or three in the morning. Jiang Liu called for a break again, and he was so sleepy that tears came out of his eyes.

He had just warmed his hands at the brazier when Ning Hao came over and handed him a cigarette: "Director Jiang, would you like one?"

Jiang Liu wiped the corners of his eyes and shook his head: "It's hard to quit. I don't want to make the same mistake again."

Ning Hao was speechless: "I say that I look like a chain smoker, but in fact, I am three years younger than me, and one year younger than Gao Yuanyuan."

Gao Yuanyuan, who was warming his feet, agreed: "That's right."

"I'm mentally old." Jiang Liu glanced at Gao Yuanyuan, frowned and looked at Ning Hao: "You must have something to do, just tell me."

Ning Hao hesitated and said: "I wrote a movie script and wanted to see if you are interested in investing in it."

"How much money do you want?" Jiang Liu didn't ask about the script and tentatively talked about money directly.

If Ning Hao needed money to make "Crazy Stone", he would borrow money and invest even if he went bankrupt.

But the time obviously didn't match up, so Jiang Liu didn't dare to talk too much.

What he earned was hard-earned money, not brought by strong winds. He really couldn't bear to use it for Ning Hao to shoot some underground movies.

"Budget between [-] and [-]."

Jiang Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "Ten or twenty thousand is no problem."

With such a small amount of money, Jiang Liu felt that he should support Ning Hao both emotionally and rationally. He also thought that Ning Hao would make money for him in the future.

After settling this little matter, it was time to shoot again.

Turning the camera back on, Jiang Liu managed to finish filming at seven o'clock, completing all the night shots of 20 episodes of "Wulin Gaiden".

At this point, most of the 20 episodes of "Wulin Gaiden" have been completed.
