Chapter 123 It's a Big Problem
The 3D main control room looks cool from the outside, but it is actually very narrow inside.
How narrow is it? It is actually built behind a small off-road truck, otherwise it would not have been transferred so quickly. So, when Kim Jong-ming and the other two followed Tsui Hark in, the two technicians who were originally sitting in the innermost had to take the initiative to retreat, otherwise the two ladies would not even have to sit on a chair.
"You two go and call the top ten workers here together." Mr. Xu waved his hand and arranged a job for the two of them.
Where do you need these two people to call? The core characters in the crew have already followed the four people to the door of the main control room. Mr. Xu's words were actually not to ask them to call people, but to signal the people at the door, telling them that they could come in.
Sure enough, as soon as the words were finished, five or six senior executives of the crew who had been wearing various clothes were uniformly put on down jackets with yard numbers, and then they squeezed into the narrow control room with a smile.
"Come on, Xiao Jin, I'll introduce you." Mr. Xu started with a short Maitreya Buddha-like man in the lead. "This other director of our crew, Zhang..."
"I know, Director Zhang Zhiliang!" Jin Zhongming, who was ready, quickly stepped forward and grabbed the other party's hand intimately. "The teacher and senior Andy Lau have mentioned you to me many times!"
Zhang Zhiliang grinned and laughed, and also pulled Kim Jong-ming and exchanged some greetings. It’s not a big deal, not to mention that Kim Jong-ming does have a different relationship with him. That’s right, this second-person on the set, theoretically, is the director of Tsui Hark and the director of the movie and literary drama, who was the director of "Mo Gong", so he has an old relationship with Kim Jong-ming's teacher An Sheng-ki.
"Just know each other." Tsui Hark was stunned for a moment, then reacted. "And this person... Xi..."
"Teacher Xi Zhongwen." Kim Jong-ming actually recognized it. "I have worked together in "The Promise of Revenge"... I will ask Teacher Xi this time."
"Why are you so polite?" Xi Zhongwen waved his hand with a smile. "I like to work with acquaintances, so it's easy to do it! I have always kept your body shape data in there. This time I know that you and Jet Li came together. I have made several sets of clothes early. We can try it in the evening... Let Director Xu comment!"
Xi Zhongwen, director and famous art director, but his most famous profession is a fashion designer. He can almost be considered the most outstanding film and television fashion designer in China. In recent years, the mainstream costume films in China have almost always asked him to serve as the fashion designer in art directing.
Tsui Hark opened his mouth and quickly pointed to the third person: "Do you know this too? This is the person in my bag!"
"Of course!" Without Kim Jong-ming speaking, the big man in Tsui Hark could not help laughing. "When Xiao Jin was promoting "The Legend of the Conquest", she spent a while in Hong Kong, and she almost lived with Brother Xiaodong... How could I not know him?"
"I had said in Hong Kong before when I could work with Brother Yuan Bin, but I didn't expect that the opportunity would come as soon as possible." Kim Jong-ming also stepped forward and greeted the famous martial arts director with the same stage name as Korea.
Yuan Bin is one of the famous seven little benefactors, but this person is mainly engaged in the behind-the-scenes martial arts director, and surprisingly he followed Cheng Xiaodong. Later, due to his outstanding performance, he was promoted to be a formal martial arts director by Tsui Hark in the famous "Huang Feihong" series, and since then he has almost become Tsui Hark's imperial martial arts director.
Seeing this scene, Tsui Hark was speechless. Young Master Zhou and Fan Xiaoxuan behind him couldn't help but look at each other. How could this Korean actor be more familiar with the core of the crew than others?
"I don't believe that you know the next one." After a while, Tsui Hark pointed to a lady who was about the same age as him. "Tell me who she is?"
Jin Zhongming was stunned for a moment, and he didn't call him out all of a sudden, because to be honest, he really didn't know this person. But... how to say it, it doesn't mean he can't guess it?
First of all, this lady is very old, but her gentle temperament is also outstanding. The dark down jacket of the field worker could not hide her literary temperament. Kim Jong-ming just glanced at it and understood in his heart that this should be a screenwriter, the so-called "writer" in Korea.
And considering the ranking of this person who appears here, it is obvious that she should be the chief screenwriter.
Then the question is, the plot of the movie "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" can almost be said to be original by Tsui Hark himself. In this case, if he still uses the top screenwriter, then...who would it be?
Seeing Kim Jong-ming, Tsui Hark finally felt a little proud. He was like this on the set. On the one hand, he was very majestic and had to interfere in everything. This is the origin of the so-called "master". But on the other hand, he is sometimes like a child, with a very high jump in his mind, and he also makes some weird things from time to time...
However, just as Tsui Hark was about to give an introduction, Kim Jong-ming spoke tentatively: "Can it be the screenwriter of "New Longmen Inn" and Mr. He Jiping and Teacher He?"
Our Master Xu was stunned on the spot.
He Jiping, born in 1951, has introduced her too much to useless. Just remember that she is the number one screenwriter of the Hong Kong drama industry. At the same time, as Kim Jong-ming said, she is the screenwriter of "New Dragon Inn", the predecessor of the movie "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".
Therefore, her appearance can be said to be unexpected and reasonable.
"Yes!" Tsui Hark nodded. "Ji Ping is the screenwriter of "New Longmen Inn", and it is normal for you to guess... Then I won't introduce this person in the end, you must be more familiar with..."
Kim Jong-ming looked at Tsui Hark in a daze. He really didn't know him or could not guess it, but the last middle-aged man actually bowed to him and said hello, which made him even more puzzled.
"Why don't you recognize this?" Mr. Zhou, who was watching the fun behind him, couldn't help it.
"You know all the ones you shouldn't know, but you don't know what you should know?!" Mr. Xu finally couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you..." Kim Jong-ming tentatively reached out to hello.
"Mr. Kim Jong-ming..." The other party raised his head and spoke, and Kim Jong-ming had a glimpse of his understanding as soon as he opened his mouth. It turned out to be Korean! "I, Choi Soo-chang, is the director of the 3D special effects technology department of J Pictures. He led two colleagues here to obey the orders... I would like to ask Mr. Kim Jong-ming for instructions in the next two months!"
Jin Zhongming suddenly laughed.
You should know that Yu Dong had told him about this when he came before. He also understood in his heart that it was probably because of the official GV theaters under the J, which had the best 3D+IMA technology application in mainland China, so he brought these people from the theater chain.
"Okay!" Seeing Kim Jong-ming react, Tsui Hark clapped his hands. "Since we are familiar with each other and don't seem to be outsiders, we must work together sincerely in the future... and try our best to make the movie well! And without further ado, I will see Xiao Jin's set of costumes... Zhongwen?"
"We are all ready, but we are not here. Let's go back to the hotel to take our time and try out a set of tricks!" Xi Zhongwen answered very quickly.
"That's good." Tsui Hark nodded with satisfaction. "Won Bin... Since you know each other, is there any problem with the action design?"
"It should be no big problem." Yuan Bin explained with his chin. "Little Golden's body is very good and his foundation is also very good. It's no problem to hang a wire or something, so unlike those people, he doesn't need special training... and there are not many real fighting scenes in his scenes, and it's more just to show off..."
"Riding a horse!" Tsui Hark suddenly mentioned something seriously. "He has a lot of scenes at the right time..."
"I'm quite familiar with riding horses." Jin Zhongming quickly explained. "But just in case, and the terrain on the desert is special, I'll arrange a horse and a master for me. I'll get used to it as soon as possible in the past two days!"
"That's good!" Tsui Hark nodded with satisfaction. "What I want is this attitude... and the style... But when I go back this evening, we will personally debug the clothes... By the way, Xiao Jin, your assistant, has he brought his own makeup artist?"
"No." Kim Jong-ming, who was thinking about something, quickly responded. "I came here overnight and didn't bring anyone... But it shouldn't matter. The makeup artist directly asked the crew to help."
"It's OK." Tsui Hark frowned slightly. "But what about life?"
"This... I am a casual person and I don't have any special needs in life." Kim Jong-ming looked around. "And even if it's a bit inconvenient... I have eaten and lived with Jet Li for several months. His assistants are very familiar with each other. You can ask his people to help for the moment... Just wait for my assistant to come in two days."
"Ah!" Tsui Hark nodded. "Then let's just do it for the time being, but Boss Li is not here at the moment... Let's talk about the specific situation tonight... Is there anything else? Since Xiao Jin is here, let's talk about it if you have any questions..."
But... no one spoke, almost everyone remained silent, and even Mr. Zhou, who was sitting behind Tsui Hark, smiled without saying a word.
"Okay... Xiao Jin, you are just a newcomer... I'll let someone take you back to the hotel first and get familiar with the accommodation environment." Tsui Hark immediately spoke when he saw this.
Kim Jong-ming frowned instinctively, and he felt something was wrong. You know, although he had only been to Tianmo Film and Television Base for half a day, he really felt that the atmosphere in the crew was a bit stiff... I thought Tsui Hark would say it openly so that he could deal with it, but now it seems... it seems that things are not that simple.
Of course, he thought so in his heart, but Kim Jong-ming didn't show it on his face, and his frowning was just fleeting. He immediately obeyed Tsui Hark's arrangements with a smile.
"Just do it like this." Kim Jong-ming smiled without hesitation. "But you are still working hard in the sand here. I, a person who is so late, can go to the hotel to rest... I am really a little sad."
"Xiao Jin, you're thinking too much." At this moment, just as Tsui Hark was about to speak, a low but distinctive female voice suddenly rang out, and it was Zhou Xun. "You came here early this time to help the master... You don't know that the master is obsessed with you these days, so in the end he just posted a photo of the Korean flag here and then looked at it every day... Master, Xiao Jin is here, can you remove this photo?"
Jin Zhongming immediately put down the rest of his thoughts, and then followed Zhou Xun's fingers and looked curiously at the display screen in the main control room.
Sure enough, as the other party said, above the main display, a photo of the Korean flag, a photo of a cute camel, and a photo of a blower stuck there side by side.
"What's going on?" Jin Zhongming was a little puzzled.
"Ha!" Tsui Hark laughed dryly. "I have a habit of making those things I am thinking about, and then put them in the closest place to me, hoping to solve them soon."
"So that's it, the blower... I already understand, but what's going on with camel?" Jin Zhongming asked curiously.
"What could it be?" Fan Xiaoxuan couldn't help but smile. "These days have been the scenes of Sister Xun and me. The most difficult part of the filming is not the two scenes today, but a scene of riding a camel... I have been filmed almost ten times. The two camels are usually fine, but they run around as soon as the filming officially starts..."
"There's no way." Tsui Hark explained helplessly. "Animal dramas... have always been the most unexpected..."
"It will be solved sooner or later." What else can Kim Jong-ming say, and he can only comfort the other party in this way.
"Go and have a rest first." Tsui Hark waved his hand and urged him for half a sentence. "It's very hard to put on makeup at night."
Kim Jong-ming stopped talking, but lowered his head and said goodbye, then walked out of the control room with the others. However, as soon as he walked out of the main control room, before he had time to say a few more scenes to the senior executives of the crew, the special effects personnel leader sent by J Pictures suddenly came over and spoke:
"Mr. Kim Jong-ming...that photo of the Korean flag is not referring to you."
"Is that true?" Kim Jong-ming didn't seem surprised. "What does that mean? I saw the blower with my own eyes."
"It means us." The minister named Cui quickly explained. "It's like this. The 3D special effects team in the crew was originally planned to be very large, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan Strait, Singapore, the United States... Of course, we are also South Korea. However, the team leader Mr. Chuck Comisch, who was originally invited by the crew, seemed to be very arrogant and didn't want to come..."
Chuck Komischi, the leader of the world's 3D movie, "Avatar" is his proud work. But now it seems that this gentleman doesn't look down on the movie "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", has been famous and has been promoted, but no one appears at all...
"What then?" Kim Jong-ming was very upset at first, but he was also helpless. "Why is this related to you again?"
"If the American team doesn't come... our Korean team is very important, but... we don't understand Chinese, they don't understand Korean, so as far as I know, the photo of the Korean flag was hung up by the master for the translation issue... It has nothing to do with you."
"So that's it." Kim Jong-ming nodded casually, then looked at the many senior executives of the crew who were glancing over here, but did not react much.
At this moment, he had already understood a little... That is, the crew encountered a big problem, so big that it could not be explained in public, and maybe even big that Tsui Hark himself could not say it.
Zhou Xun reminded himself either out of dissatisfaction or out of kindness.
"Mr. Jin Zhongming... The master asked me to take you to the hotel." At this moment, the young staff member who was carrying things with him just now pushed a motorcycle over with a little embarrassed.
"Are we still going to be together?" Kim Jong-ming laughed, ignored the minister Cui, who was not interested in the j's, turned over and stepped on the back seat of the motorcycle, and the car left immediately. (To be continued.)
