242 【Explore Lin Qingxia】
Ye Jin then went to Taiwan to promote "The Strange Tactics of Laughing Fist".
As usual, newspapers, radio, television, and movie fans have one-stop activities, and there is nothing new.
Ye Jin has long been familiar with this and has completed the publicity task very easily.
After the publicity work was busy, Ye Jin took a bus to the Banqiao set in Taipei County to visit the set.
Banqiao Studio was originally built by the League of Nations led by Li Hanxiang. The dream at that time was to build it into Asia's No. 1 cinema, with a scale greater than that of Xiao's Cinema.
Unfortunately, the operation of the National League was not good, and it closed down in the late 1960s, so the Banqiao set was forced to resign.
The reason why Ye Jin went to Banqiao to visit the set was because "Eight Hundred Heroes" was filming there.
As the starring actor, Lin Qingxia has a strong role; she made a main theme movie, which attracted much attention from all walks of life. Everyone is very serious in their work, and even if they don’t have their own drama today, they will stay on standby in the crew.
Seniors like Ge Xiangting, Jin Han, Ke Junxiong, Qin Han, Xu Feng and other seniors are all like this. As a junior, Lin Qingxia naturally couldn't take a leave alone and went to Taipei to meet her lover.
So Ye Jin had to move the boat and went to Banqiao to see her.
...
As soon as I arrived at the Banqiao set, I heard the rumbling explosion, which was deafening.
Ye Jin was shocked.
At this stage, the mainstream of Xiangjiang movies is kung fu movies.
Shooting movies are rarely filmed, and even if they are filmed, there will not be too many explosion scenes.
After all, the current investment in Hong Kong films is limited. If a movie takes away the actors’ pay, the production fund is only 400,000 to 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, so it cannot afford to explode.
Therefore, Ye Jin was a little uncomfortable when he heard such a loud noise at first.
When I entered the set and arrived at the shooting location, I saw the crew filming a battle scene.
Both sides of the war opened fire, da da da da da da boom boom, the flames were swept in, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Seeing such a vigorous battle scene, Ye Jin suddenly remembered the days when he filmed in Hengdian.
At that time, because of the big sale of anti-Japanese dramas, Hengdian filmed it all year round, claiming to be [killing millions of Japanese devils in ten years].
Ye Jin was the first to enter the industry and was often used as a supporting role in it. I feel really moved when I think about it.
...
A few minutes later, the battle scene was finished.
Director Ding Shanxi shouted "ok". For a moment, everyone relaxed. Those who drank water, those who smoked, those who chatted...
Ye Jin saw the opportunity and walked forward, smiled and said hello, "Director Ding, don't be fine!"
It is said that when you enter the temple to worship gods, you can call people when you come to the crew and don’t say hello to the director.
Ding Shanxi is drinking water to moisten her throat.
The smell of gunpowder in this scene is so strong that it will make you feel terrified if you smell too much.
As soon as he saw Ye Jin, he immediately stood up, "Oh, Mr. Ye, long time no see!"
"Long time no see." Ye Jin nodded and smiled, "Director Ding, congratulations on launching another masterpiece."
"You're welcome." Ding Shanxi waved his hand and said with a modest smile, "Mr. Ye, you are here in Taiwan this time..."
"Oh, "The Strange Tactics of Laughing Fist" will be released in Taiwan soon, I'm here to promote it." Ye Jin explained, "Come on the way to explore the team again."
"I have heard of the famous name of this drama, and it sets another record in the box office of Xiangjiang." Ding Shan smiled happily, "I think it will definitely be a hot sale in Taiwan."
"I borrow your auspicious words." Ye Jin bowed and smiled.
At this time, the leading actors and the creative staff of the play all came over when they saw Ye Jin.
Ye Jin is now the number one superstar in Hong Kong and has made a name for himself in Japan. Moreover, his Mythology Film has produced many excellent works and made huge profits, which is evidently the third largest film company in Hong Kong.
Therefore, for such big stars and tycoons, everyone naturally wants to make friends and expand their connections. If they have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, they may be able to do so.
"Come on, Mr. Ye, I will introduce you to some friends." Ding Shanxi smiled when she saw this, and then introduced several actors and main creative staff to Ye Jin.
The main creator is fine. Taiwan’s film production skills are far inferior to those of Xiangjiang, so Ye Jin is not interested in poaching from Taiwan. He is interested in getting to know several actors, especially Zhang Aijia and Xu Feng.
As far as he knows, Zhang Aijia is a well-known actress from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and has starred in many classic movies. Those who have watched Ye Jin include the "Best Partner" series, "Chicken and Duck Talk", "A Lang's Story", "Auspicious Stars", "Eight Tales", etc., and his acting skills are very good.
Xu Feng is a well-known hero and the official actress of the great director Hu Jinquan. He has worked with "Longmen Inn", "Hitter", "The Storm of the Spring Pavilion", "Loyalty and Martyrdom", etc. He is Director Hu's favorite actress.
Her appearance is full of heroic spirit and her temperament is cold as ice, especially her eyes seem to shine. The image of a hero is extremely successful, and no one can match her.
Even though Lin Qingxia created many images of chivalrous women in her later acting career, such as Qiu Moyan, Dongfang Bubai, Hua Wuque, Longer, etc., she was still inferior to Xu Feng.
Unfortunately, in the 1980s, Xu Feng stopped filming and withdrew from the entertainment industry. His whereabouts were unknown, which made Ye Jin quite regretful.
...
After seeing these people, Ye Jin exchanged a few greetings and then brought Lin Qingxia to the side.
Although he was determined to poach Zhang Aijia and Xu Feng, now is not the best time.
First, there is no project suitable for them for the time being, and they can only be idle when they are dug up, causing great waste of human resources; second, they want to poach them just now, but they may not agree. Just like having a partner, the more they are proactive, the more passive they are.
So let’s get to know each other today and leave an impression, and then slowly get in touch with each other if you have the chance in the future.
"Qingxia, you've lost weight." Ye Jin looked at her, and saw that her little face was thinner than before, and a little darker than before. "Is filming very hard?"
"No." Lin Qingxia waved her hand.
If we compare the previous two literary and romantic films, "Outside the Window" and "Cloud Piaopiao", it is indeed very hard to shoot this "Eight Hundred Warriors".
Because she played Yang Huimin, she swam across the Suzhou River and sent a flag to the army fighting in Sihang Warehouse. This is a landmark event and will definitely be filmed. Just like filming "Water Margin", we have to film famous sequels such as "Lu Zhishen Pulls Up the Weeping Willows" and "Wu Song Fights the Tiger".
But Lin Qingxia can't swim, and at most she can do a few dogs, so these days, she spends two hours practicing swimming every day. The key is that it's winter now, and even the indoor swimming pool is very low. So learning to swim is definitely a chore, and life is worse than death.
However, compared to filming "The Elder", she felt that it was not that hard. When filming "The Elder", she had a long fight scene. Even if the action actor who played with her was free, she was often beaten and bruised and swollen.
Moreover, a fight scene requires forty or fifty moves. As long as one move is wrong, it will be done all over again. It takes several times. Even if the director doesn't say anything, the eyes of other actors in the same crew are embarrassing enough.
Furthermore, she is the well-deserved protagonist of "The Elders" and is responsible for the box office. Once the box office is defeated, even if Ye Jin doesn't care, she will lose face.
So when she was filming "The Elders", she faced great mental pressure and physical pressure.
In comparison, "Eight Hundred Heroes" is just physically stressful, which is not so unbearable. To be honest, as she practices more and more, she also fell in love with the feeling of swimming in winter.
