Chapter 344: The overjoyed Zhao Dao
"That's Jinzhou!" Zhao Baogang looked at Yang Feng in surprise, but the other party didn't speak, just looked at the picture silently, and there was an indescribable meaning in his eyes.
The picture slowly swept over the city of Jinzhou, this originally majestic city is now full of traces of the great war, the broken corpses, broken weapons and the soldiers wearing red mandarin duck battle jackets standing on the city, as well as the tired and sad faces on the faces of the soldiers, all tell people that the city has just experienced an extremely cruel war.
Seeing this, Zhao Baogang's heart was violently shaken again. Although there is no sentence or superfluous action in this scene, every shot tells people what it has experienced.
"This is the Ming army, and the other is the Manchu army!" Seeing this, as a few old birds familiar with history, Zhao Baogang immediately understood the identity of the armies on both sides, but when he said this, his brows furrowed again, "It's just that what I don't understand is that the Ming army outside the city is dressed so strangely, it actually wears plate armor and carries a musket on its shoulder, when did the Ming army start to equip muskets on a large scale, isn't this scientific?" This director is too nonsense, isn't this a mess? ”
In Zhao Baogang's complaint, a horn and war drums continued to sound.
With the sound of the desolate horn, the army outside the city still marched towards the city with a slow but firm pace, and at this moment, another army full of cavalry on the opposite side was also slowly gathering, they divided into several groups of men and horses and began to move slowly, trying to surround the Ming army that was parting out, and after a while, the cavalry in red armor slowly ran towards the opposite side.
When tens of thousands of horses run together, the momentum is extremely amazing, and the rumbling hooves seem to shatter people's hearts. In the face of the offensive that seemed to crush everything, the Ming army on the opposite side was not afraid at all, their large array stopped advancing, and then one by one the artillery pieces were pushed out, and under the command of the officers, these artillery began to breathe flames.
"Boom, boom...... Boom ......"
The flying firelight, the shrapnel and steel balls flying around, the neighing of the war horses and the knights who fell from the horseback after being shot into the body by shrapnel, all of this stunned Zhao Baogang, this is the war between iron and blood, this is the difference between life and death, all of this is stunned, this is a scene where men will be enthusiastic and women will scream, Rao is Zhao Baogang, the handful of directors who stand at the top of the country, can't help but be dumbfounded, There is a feeling of traveling back in time and time to watch the war between the two countries.
This half-hour video was quickly watched, and when the computer screen returned to the desktop, Zhao Baogang was still in a daze, and it took a long time for him to grab Yang Feng's hand like waking up from a dream and said urgently: "Mr. Yang, you must tell me, who shot this video, and which company in the United States made the special effects of the battle?" Is it industrial magic light? You must introduce them to me? ”
Don't blame Zhao Baogang for losing his temper, judging from his more than 20 years of experience in the industry, this battle scene is simply impeccable, just like what really happened, it can be fake, he can be sure that if this video can't be released, I'm afraid the entire Chinese film industry will go crazy.
Yang Feng, who was tightly grasped by Zhao Baogang's arm, shook his head helplessly: "I'm sorry Director Zhao, I can't agree to your request, I can't introduce you to the director who shot this video and the company that produced the special effects, the purpose of I gave you this video is to listen to Danchen say that you are worrying about the war scenes you are filming recently, and I happen to have this information, so I sent it to you to see." If you have to ask me where this video comes from, I'm sorry I didn't come here today! ”
After speaking, Yang Feng stood up and pulled out the USB flash drive to make a gesture to leave. Seeing this, Zhao Baogang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him tightly and begged: "Mr. Yang, no...... Brother Yang, Uncle Yang, you are my uncle, don't go! I don't want to ask, can't you, you must leave this video to me, I want it...... Make a price, and I'll buy the right to use it. ”
Yang Feng stopped, turned his head to look at Zhao Baogang, and said lightly: "I don't want money, you just give me 20% of the income of this TV series." ”
"Giving you twenty percent of the proceeds?" Zhao Baogang frowned when he heard this, and said with some embarrassment: "This drama is invested by CCTV, I am just a director, how can I be the master, and you want 20% of the income as soon as you open your mouth, this is too high, right?" ”
"I know you can't be the master, but you can find someone who can. You are an expert in this area, you should know how much huge manpower and material resources are required to shoot this video, and how much it costs to make these special effects, not that I brag, if we want to make such special effects, even if we smash all the investment in your TV series, I am afraid that it will not be possible, and now I only need 20% of the income, is it too much? ”
"This ......"
Zhao Baogang couldn't help but smile bitterly, as his own director, he naturally understood how shocking the video he saw just now, just now he almost thought he was watching a documentary, the scene of blood splashing, the picture of the war horse being cut off by a cannonball, and the wails of the soldiers on both sides before death made him still have an immersive feeling. If it weren't for reason telling him that this couldn't be true, he really thought it was a fact that had just happened.
However, despite the shock, Zhao Baogang still knows that in fact, there is nothing impossible to shoot in the film industry, just like the "Titanic" filmed by the Americans ten years ago, which also caused the collective amazement of the whole world at that time, and the scene of the sinking of the huge ship is still shocking to this day, so it is not surprising that Yang Feng can shoot such a war scene, the premise is that you are willing to spend money.
Thinking of this, Zhao Baogang couldn't help but glance at Yang Feng. Cameron spent $200 million to shoot the Titanic movie back then, and almost bankrupted the Twentieth Century Fox movie, and now how much money did it cost this guy to shoot this video?
Zhao Baogang thought for a while before saying: "Mr. Yang, this matter is not something I can decide alone, I need to bring this video back and ask the leaders of CCTV to make a decision later, what do you think?" ”
"Yes!" Yang Feng nodded, "If you can get the results within a week, you can call me directly, if it is more than a week, call Danchen, after all, I have to go out again in a few days, I hope you can understand." ”
"It's nature!" Zhao Baogang understood this, after all, a big boss like Yang Feng must have a lot of things to deal with every day, and naturally it is impossible to wait for him for a little thing.
"Then I'll wait for Director Zhao's good news." Yang Feng said, while handing the USB flash drive to Zhao Baogang, and Zhao Baogang also solemnly put away the USB flash drive closely, with a trace of joy on his face, with his decades of experience, if the TV series he filmed has such a grand war scene as a foreshadowing, this year's ratings champion will be nine out of ten.
After negotiating this matter, the first thing Zhao Baogang did was to ask the field staff to call all the extras who were invited to play cavalry, and let them all leave after they all paid their salaries.
Half an hour later, the leader of the group looked at the thin stack of bills he had received, and his eyes were full of disbelief. The script shouldn't be like this, what if there are no war scenes for them? Where did he go to find someone who could ride a horse and make a cavalry group charge posture according to his requirements, you must know that it is not a few hundred years ago, and there are fewer and fewer people who can ride horses, otherwise Zhao Baogang would not have invited them to film at a high price of five hundred yuan a day.
"What do you see, why don't you leave quickly when you get your salary, do you still want to stay and finish eating?" The field manager who was responsible for paying them wages said angrily, you must know that these people were recruited by him, and for this he didn't know how many times he had been scolded by Zhao Baogang in the past few days, and his heart had already been on fire.
"No, I said Lao Wang, have you really thought about it? If you're going to fire us, you'll never find a group performance as professional as ours anymore. The leader of the group, who had not yet recovered from the shock, was a little unconvinced, and said in a threatening tone.
The field attendant sneered: "Hehe...... You can rest assured. We won't invite you again, our director said, we won't shoot this scene, we'll go back tomorrow! ”
"Don't shoot, go back?" The group leader was dumbfounded, he never thought that the other party would directly give up filming war scenes and go home, if the other party really went back, wouldn't his people lose a lot of money, you must know that it is too difficult to find a job of 500 yuan a day in Inner Mongolia, an economically underdeveloped place.
Thinking of this, the group leader couldn't help but start to regret it. In fact, 500 yuan per person per day is already a high price, but when I saw that the other party was a well-known director in China, I became greedy after making such a generous shot, thinking that I wanted to blackmail the other party with the idea of not making money for nothing, so I secretly told those herdsmen to work these days, and when the other party was in a hurry, I took the opportunity to propose to increase the money. Now it's okay, the other party actually lifted the table and didn't play with him.
"Lao Wang...... No...... Director Wang, we've been working together quite happily these days, how can you say that if you don't shoot, you won't shoot? Do you see if this is good, we won't increase the salary, just calculate it according to the original 500 yuan a day, I promise to shoot with my heart and never make a mess for the director! ”
"It's late!" The field manager sneered and turned to leave, and when he left, he left a sentence: "If you weren't too greedy, I'm afraid things wouldn't have turned out like this, so you might as well reflect on it!" ”
The field service left, leaving only the group leader with a dull expression, and what was waiting for him now was not the processing money, but the anger of those group performances......
As a temporary landlord, Yang Feng invited Yang Feng to have a good meal of roasted whole sheep, and Yang Feng also moved more than ten boxes of wine from the trunk of his Land Rover, and with these wines, the atmosphere of this dinner was even higher.
The next day, Yang Feng and Zhao Baogang returned to the capital and Nanjing respectively.
Yang Feng ignored how Zhao Baogang persuaded his own leaders, and after returning to Nanjing, he went directly to the headquarters of Jiangdongmen Import and Export Co., Ltd.
When Yang Feng appeared at the front desk, the little girl at the front desk who was secretly playing with her mobile phone saw that the boss who had always been a dragon and had never seen the end of the dragon actually appeared, and the phone fell to the ground with an excited click.
Yang Feng stopped, walked to the little sister at the front desk, looked at her carefully, and admired the expression of the little sister at the front desk who was about to cry before asking, "Are Mr. Zhang and Director Xu there?" ”
"Mr. Yang here!" The little girl's head at the front desk is like a chicken pecking rice.
"Okay, you go ahead and I'll go in by myself!" After Yang Feng finished speaking, he pulled his legs and walked a few steps, looking at the back of Yang Feng who was about to leave, the little sister at the front desk breathed a sigh of relief, she patted her large-scale murder weapon, and was about to bend down to build up the mobile phone that fell to the ground, Yang Feng, who had just taken two steps, suddenly turned around and said to her: "By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing, don't play with your mobile phone when you go to work." This time, I will treat it as if I didn't see it, and if there is a next time, I will tell Mr. Zhang to deduct your salary! ”
After speaking, Yang Feng walked up the stairs, leaving only the little girl on the rooftop who jumped to her feet in anger.
Yang Feng came directly to Zhang Sicheng's office, and seeing Yang Feng's arrival, Zhang Sicheng stood up with a smile and welcomed him to the reception area on the side, and the two sat down.
"Mr. Yang, you came just in time, I was about to tell you, the kind of manual printing machine you asked me to find two days ago is too old, I can't find it on the market, if you want it, you have to let the manufacturer customize, this is so that the price is not cheap, I contacted several manufacturers, even the cheapest is more than 800,000 units, do you really want to customize this printing machine?"
"Yes!"
Yang Feng said very simply: "You immediately place an order for them and customize two units back, because I am in a hurry to use them, so I hope to get the stock within a week."
"That's fine." Zhang Sicheng nodded, if the manufacturer can't make this kind of imitation of an old antique from one or two hundred years ago within a week, the technicians of their factory should also wipe their necks collectively.
After talking about business, the two chatted for a while, looking at the young man in front of him who was only a working boy at the bottom of the society two years ago, but now he is in the upper reaches of the pyramid, and he can't help but feel a feeling of thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.
The two chatted until they got off work, and Yang Feng went out to pick up Xu Ziqing from work together.
Yang Feng spent a week with Yan Danchen and Xu Ziqing in the modern society, and then returned to the time and space of the Ming Dynasty with the required materials.
