    Chapter 57: Shooting starts (please recommend) Shaw Brothers Studios.  In a simple dressing room, Chu Ling looked at himself in the mirror wearing a hood and ancient costume, and couldn't help but show a look of excitement in his eyes.  This time¡¯s filming was different from the previous two. Whether as a director or as a starring role, Chu Ling¡¯s feelings were completely different.  After all, the last two dramas can be said to be nothing more than minor dramas, with some depth in acting skills, but in terms of directing, the depth is far behind. If the last two dramas are compared to novice works, then these two are now  It can be said to be a masterpiece.  The difficulty between the two is not great.  "A-Ling, how do you take care of your skin? In my opinion, there is no need for you to wear makeup?" A mature woman with beautiful appearance sighed and touched Chu Ling's face.  Looking through the mirror in front of him and looking at the envious Ren Qianyu behind him, Chu Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Why can't I get excited at all when you say that?" "Gr" Ren Qianyu  Yu Jiao smiled and teased: "Don't be depressed. There is still a market for pretty boys like you. At least I have a good feeling for you. How about it? If no one wants it, why don't I get it for you?"  He rolled his eyes, closed his eyes, and allowed the other party to smear unknown cosmetics on his face. Chu Ling did not want to provoke the woman behind him. Although the other party was also considered a beauty, just because she was Zhao Mazhi  When the introduction came, he was too embarrassed to make a move.  Of course, if the opponent can reach the level of Zhao Yazhi, Chu Ling will take action even if it is not easy. However, the current opponent has not given him the urge to pursue him.  Seeing that Chu Ling was silent, Ren Qianyu stopped talking and concentrated on putting makeup on the man in front of her who made her heart beat. However, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Facing such an outstanding man, if she hadn't had self-awareness, she would have really  I wanted to catch him, but now it's a pity.  After a while.  "Okay." Ren Qianyu said with a smile while putting away her cosmetics.  Opening his eyes, looking at himself in ancient costume, exuding the flavor of a young hero, Chu Ling nodded with dissatisfaction. He didn't know the quality of the other four makeup artists, but the level of the one in front of him was  Not bad indeed.  "Very good, I'll take care of you in the next period of time." After saying this, after greeting the other party, Chu Ling walked out of the dressing room. After all, there were a lot of things going on today.  Staff members were constantly shuttled through the venue, arranging everything needed for worshiping gods. Around them, reporters were frantically pressing the shutter to take photos of everything in front of them.  Chu Ling had only seen such a grand opening scene once, and that was when he participated in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". At that time, he had just set foot in this industry. He did not expect that in just over half a year, he would already have what he has now.  Achievement.  Looking at everything in front of him, Chu Ling sighed for a moment before walking towards Wang Jing who was directing the staff to arrange the arrangements.  "How is it? Is there anything wrong?" Chu Ling asked in a deep voice.  Turning his head to look at Chu Ling, Wang Jing wiped his sweat, patted his plump chest and said, "Don't worry, are you familiar with this kind of thing? Nothing can go wrong." Hearing this, Chu Ling stopped talking.  As he spoke, he knew that he was too nervous. After all, it was just a startup ceremony. With Wang Jing's sophistication, how could something happen?  Having nearly died many times, Chu Ling should have been very open-minded about everything, but for some reason, looking at everything in front of him, he couldn't help but become nervous, as if he suddenly returned to that place again.  The mood you feel when you kill someone.  "Huh" Wang Jing relaxed for a moment, no longer disturbed and focused on his busy work. He looked around and walked towards Yuan Heping and Cheng Xiaodong who were chatting together.  Yuan Heping is in his forties. He is a famous action director and director in later generations, known as Master Ba. He has participated in many famous movies such as "The Matrix" and is a very successful action director.  Cheng Xiaodong's reputation is no worse than the previous one, maybe a little worse in action direction, but in terms of directing, he is more successful than Yuan Heping. Among some fans who love filmmakers, his reputation is also higher than Yuan Heping.  Much higher.  Just like "A Chinese Ghost Story" and the current film "The Swordsman: The Unbeaten East", these two movies are both works directed by Cheng Xiaodong.  In order to invite these two people, Chu Ling spent a lot of thought.  After all, although the two people now have not reached the heights of later generations, in terms of martial arts in Xiangjiang, both of them can be said to have become famous.There is nothing for the two of us, but it would be difficult to invite two people together.  After all, Wu Zhi, one person is enough for a film, two people together?  This is unheard of. Moreover, only one person can go on stage to receive an award for a film. Who will go then?  It would be fine if they were two unknown people, but these are two martial arts directors who have become famous. If Chu Ling hadn't spent all his time, these two great masters might not have been willing to serve as martial arts directors for a film with others.  refer to.  "Ba Ye, Brother Dong, we are about to start worshiping the gods. What are you two talking about?" Chu Ling came over and asked with a smile.  The two people turned their heads and saw that it was Chu Ling, and couldn't help but smile at the same time.  Yuan Heping said with a smile: "The first scene is to shoot a martial arts scene. You, a great director, have spoken out. How can we two wage earners not study it carefully?" "Yes, other directors always choose the first shot.  It's a simple shooting, but you actually gave us a problem." Cheng Xiaodong shook his head helplessly, "You know, this kind of action scene using wires to fight in the air is rare. This is my first time with Bage. If you can't pass it in one try.  "Don't blame us." Hearing this, Chu Ling said confidently: "Don't worry, I'll take the first shot. It's just a practice scene. I'm still sure. You two just need to tell me the moves." That's right.  , the reason why Chu Ling also found these two famous martial artists after reading the original work was to modify the martial arts action in the two films.  Let¡¯s not talk about the TV version. After all, the movie version was released in the early 1990s. Although it is a classic in terms of fighting scenes, Chu Ling, who comes from a later generation, is not very satisfied when he recalls it now.  Just like the scene at the beginning of the movie, where Dongfang Bubai is practicing in the lake, in Chu Ling's opinion, it is nondescript and completely devoid of excitement.  Especially when Dongfang Bubai stirred up the lake water and punched holes in the trees, Chu Ling felt like crows were flying all over the sky. He really had nothing to say about this special effect.  Of course, these are the opinions of later generations of Chu Ling. In fact, if it is filmed according to the original work, with the appreciation ability of the current audience and coupled with publicity, it will definitely not be a problem to obtain high box office.  However, since Chu Ling plans to make a big one, he will naturally not make a film that he is not satisfied with after watching it. At the very least, even if the special effects are not at the level of 10 years from now, at least they should be at the level of a few years from now.  Level right?  As for the costumes in the movie version, Chu Ling had nothing to say and changed them all.  After all, the movie only lasts for more than ninety minutes. Let¡¯s ignore the rest. The minimum visual effects must be produced, otherwise who will buy it?  Just like the later "Tiny Times" which had high box office but low reviews, with Chu Ling's unprofessional eyes, what he saw was the gorgeous scenes and costumes, and then the plot.  Of course, these are Chu Ling¡¯s own opinions. He doesn¡¯t know what others think?  What do you think?  ¡°That¡¯s how he sees it anyway. When he makes a film, he never intends to show it to those film critics who have very discerning opinions.  The first one is naturally oneself, who can finish watching the film and be satisfied with it; the second one is the audience, as long as the audience feels that the movie ticket is not wasted, then he is successful.  As for those film critics and whatnot?  It was simply not within the scope of Chu Ling's consideration.  In fact, what counts for a film is its box office. A high box office naturally means that more people watch it. More people watch it, which naturally means that the audience likes the film more. And if a film can be accepted by the public, it is a success.  's video.  If we take it seriously, Chu Ling, like Wang Jing, is a commercial director who only cares about the box office; however, he is different from Wang Jing. The other party will shoot some movies that are purely for making money, and he will definitely not  will do so.  Chu Ling doesn't care whether a movie's reviews are high or not, but at the very least, he will never make a movie that he didn't put all his energy into, and the audience scolded him after it was released.  This is also one of the reasons why Chu Ling doesn¡¯t want to cooperate with other directors. Looking beyond this era thirty years ago, there are really very few directors who can shoot movies that he can¡¯t find fault with. Even the classic ""  God of Gamblers and other films are the same.  This is not a comparison between Chu Ling and others, but a fact.  Just like "God of Gamblers", this is indeed a classic film. Even if you watch it more than thirty years later, you will definitely like it. However, liking it does not mean that you are not dissatisfied. If you are willing, you will still watch it thirty years later.  Anyone can pick out a dozen things about this classic movie that they are dissatisfied with.  This is the result of more than thirty years of experience.  When shooting this kind of film, Chu Ling can't help but give opinions like he did when shooting "The Condor", but no matter what,?What directors hate most is when others criticize their work. After all, if the work is shot according to your wishes, does it belong to you?  Or is it mine?  And this kind of thing offends people the most, so Chu Ling made the decision not to participate in films shot by other directors. This not only avoids making others and himself uncomfortable, but also avoids offending others.  (Sorry, I haven¡¯t withstood the temptation in the past two days, but don¡¯t worry, I will resume updating from today on. I owe three chapters. Starting from today, I will update three chapters a day for the past three days.) (Here I would also like to thank Wudi Shuxian for his update.  However, the chapter added to thank you for the tip may be posted three days later. Please forgive me for this.)
