"First of all, thank you for coming to the opening ceremony of "Partners in China". I don't have much to say. I just hope that everything goes smoothly during the filming, and then everything will be fine."

"By the way, I would like to emphasize the safety issue at the end. I hope everyone will pay attention and film a good show under the premise that everyone is safe. This is what we need to do, thank you!"

As soon as the opening ceremony began, Jiang Xiao was the first to be invited to speak. He originally wanted to leave this opportunity to Han Wuping, Da Laowang, Liu Dehua and others, but in the end he couldn't defeat these "seniors".

Then he didn't want to be verbose, and finally ended his speech with only two sentences. Immediately, amid the applause of the audience, he handed over the opportunity to speak to others.

Basically, they follow the order of Han Wuping, Big Lao Wang, Liu Dehua, and Han Jiaren. Maybe Jiang Xiao took the lead, and everyone didn't talk too much about it. They were all relatively concise clichés.

Han Jiaren even said directly, "My boss Jiang Xiao has already spoken, so I will skip it."

At the end, the opportunity to speak fell to director Han Yan, who unexpectedly bowed to him and said, "Before speaking, I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Jiang for giving me such a

An opportunity to direct "Partners in China", thank you!"

"I only value strength. You have all the strength you should have, so I believe you can make "The Chinese Partner" well."

In response to this, Jiang Xiao himself smiled slightly and then said a trick.

In fact, it's not a routine. Although it was based on his status as an alumnus, if Han Yan had no real ability at all, he would definitely not put the directing opportunity in his hands.

"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your trust. As a director, I deeply feel the great responsibility. I hope to have a harmonious cooperation with everyone from today on."

"In addition, I hope that no matter who is on the crew, if you have any opinions, please raise them directly to me."

"Filming is a team job, and we are all part of it, so only if we all work together to straighten everything out can we achieve the best state of cooperation. Well, thank you everyone!"

After Han Yan finished speaking, he bowed to the audience again, humbly placing himself in a very low position.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

The next second, Jiang Xiao immediately clapped his hands, showing his support for Han Yan with practical actions.

After all, he found the person, and he doesn't support anyone.

"Hua hua hua~~!!!"

The final effect was very good. Under his leadership, the entire opening ceremony quickly became a round of applause.

After that, we came to the final part of the opening ceremony, lighting incense and lifting the "red hijab" on the camera.

In addition, the scene is not open to the public, so there are no interviews to be accepted. Once the red cloth is lifted, it will be a successful conclusion to the opening ceremony.

…………

More than half an hour later, as all preparations had been made, the filming of the first scene of "Chinese Partner" would begin soon.

This scene is about a university teacher giving a lecture. Deng Chao couldn't listen and questioned the teacher because he had never been to the United States but was judging the United States with prejudice. It seemed to destroy the American dream in his heart, so he interrupted the teacher in class.

, and said that he would definitely go to the United States to prove it.

Then Huang Bo also stood up to support him, which aroused the resentment of other students in the class and started a fight.

Jiang Xiao is also in this scene, but he is just a backdrop. He only needs to show that on the one hand he is influenced by tradition and respects the teacher, but on the other hand he does not want to let down his friends.

Therefore, he did not stand up and question the teacher like Huang Bo did, but when the boys in the class wanted to beat Deng and Huang, he blocked the door with himself.

However, although this scene between the character of the teacher and the three of them is a rival scene, they will not appear in the same shot, so they have to be shot separately.

This is not difficult to understand. In a scene like face-to-face, if you want to capture the front view, what the actor needs to face is not the opponent actor at all, but a camera.

Unless the camera is shot from the side, or the two actors are in the same direction, such as sitting on the same chair and chatting.

In short, in today's first scene, neither Jiang Xiao nor Deng and Huang will appear directly on camera. They will only need to use lines off-camera to coordinate with Andy Lau.

Obviously, it goes without saying that the person who will play the teacher today is Lao Liu. This is what Jiang Xiao said before that he had something to discuss with the former.

It was mainly because Andy Lau insisted on attending the opening ceremony that he came up with the idea of ​​letting him make a cameo.

After much deliberation, I gave Liu Tianwang the role of the teacher who was said to be "too young and too naive".

No, the other party has already put on a pair of work clothes at this moment, the kind of dark blue clothes with two pockets on the chest.

With makeup, Andy Lau looks like an old-fashioned intellectual.

"Don't look at me. You are the director. You have the final say on the set. I also listen to you during filming. Even if I have any objections, I will only raise them after the filming is completed. We will discuss the situation later."

At a certain moment, after seeing that everything was ready, director Han Yan looked towards him, and he had no choice but to tap the other person's arm and give a clear reminder.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Jiang Xiao has never had the idea of ​​trying to be a director is because he feels that this job is too tiring and time-consuming, and he has to be involved in every aspect of a movie.

So he felt that being an actor was great, he just had to act well in his own drama.

Anyway, since "Chinese Partner" has selected Han Yanlai as the director, he will naturally give him the rights he deserves. He has no intention of worrying about everything, as long as the final acceptance check is taken care of.

Here, after hearing Jiang Xiao's words, Han Yan himself stopped talking, took out the role of director, raised the walkie-talkie in his hand and said: "Okay, everyone, pay attention, confirm it one last time,

Are you all ready?"

"You're ready, director, you can turn it on at any time."

Soon, a series of responses came back from the intercom.

"Okay, the recorder comes in to take action and prepare to start the game."

After confirming everything, Han Yan finally issued the boot command with a little excitement.

…………

At noon, the crew of "Partners in China" naturally held a kick-off banquet, and everyone attended, including Han Wuping and others.

The previous guest role of Andy Lau was filmed very smoothly, and it did not require superb acting skills. For Liu, who has been filming for one or two decades, there is no problem.

The only difficulty is probably that Liu Tianwang needs to speak English a little bit worse to make the earthy smell stronger.

Because I wasn’t very sure about it, I had to ng it a few times.

Not to mention these, at a certain moment during the dinner, Jiang Xiao suddenly heard Han Wuping sitting next to him whisper: "By the way, Xiao Jiang, next year will be the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Huang Jianxing found me and planned to let China Film Group take the lead in filming."

How about a gift film? Are you Lemon Entertainment interested?"

"This is a good idea. Making a gift film to celebrate the 60th birthday of the motherland is also a blessing for our literary and art circles. Director Han, can you tell us more about it?"

Yes, as soon as he heard this, Jiang Xiao knew that Han Wuping was "catching young men."

After all, whether the main theme is admitted or not, in the perception of most filmmakers, it is a type that is not easy to succeed.

It stands to reason that even if the gift film is compensated, it will not have any impact on China Film, but as the director of the film, the former may hope to make the scene more beautiful, so it is a good idea to attract some "partners".

"It's just an idea for now, nothing concrete, I still need to study it."

Seeing that Jiang Xiao was young but still very mellow in dealing with things, Han Wuping felt quite satisfied and told the truth frankly.

"Is that so? Hey, Director Han, I have an immature idea. I don't know if I should talk about it or not."

In my memory, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" basically involved all the famous celebrities in the industry. Jiang Xiao estimated that even if it didn't happen today, he would have participated in it sooner or later, so why didn't he take the initiative to give some opinions?

If he can have a good relationship with China Film Group, he will definitely not want to make enemies. Only by being friendly can he make money.

"There's nothing I can't say about this. Let me listen to your opinion."

After all, Jiang Xiao is a young man, and maybe the ideas proposed by the other party will be recognized by young people nowadays. Han Wuping really doesn't mind listening to it.

"I can't say I'm high-minded, but I think so. We can make a movie with the theme of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and use an all-star cast."

"All the roles in the film, no matter how big or small, except for the special ones, are all played by celebrities. What do you think?"

Thinking that Han Wuping said that he didn't have anything specific, Jiang Xiao showed up "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" without any scruples.

"Miaojiang, I think your idea is good, and the name "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is very appropriate. I didn't have any direction at first, but you have pointed out a clear path for me."

"The idea of ​​using an all-star cast is also a good one. This will definitely attract a lot of attention. It is different from the traditional genre and can be considered a new innovation."
Chapter completed!
