Worship the gods, ask for forgiveness, and exorcise evil spirits. In Hong Kong, the production crew had to start filming and worship the gods because of the supernatural. In fact, the supernatural was very popular in Asia. Even in the current Han country, this was a taboo. In the countryside, there would be very famous witches. Some ordinary families would worship these people. Although in the mainland, animals were not allowed to become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was still a deep taboo in this area.
This opening ceremony was a feast for the Koreans, or more accurately, the country bumpkins. When the staff from Hong Kong explained, everyone understood and worshiped the gods seriously. It did not look like a monkey show like the Westerners did. Tian Xingjian was also fortunate enough to taste a piece of tribute suckling pig this time. As one of the few Korean members, it was quite a face-saving thing. In this regard, Tian Xingjian had a much higher status than Jin Yunxi, the little assistant. After all, he joined the group with the title of assistant counselor.
Of course, Shen Lie and Quan Chengwu were also people who had a share of the pie, not to mention the female lead, Jin Xishan, who had a good seat.
After the opening ceremony ended, Quan Chengwu and Tian Xingjian pretended to stay at the filming site with the Hong Kong crew for a while. They chatted casually. These were all informed in advance. When the reporters and other people left, they could pack their bags and leave.
"Is the roast pig delicious?" Jin Yunxi finally got the chance to ask Tian Xingjian curiously.
"It's alright. It's a little greasy and I didn't cook it well. Sigh, didn't you eat?”Tian Xingjian looked at Jin Yunxi and said proudly.
"Hmph, you have to buy one for me when we go back to Seoul. I'll eat it alone, or I'll teach you a lesson.”Kim Yoonhee said indignantly. Although Tian Xingjian's status in the crew seemed to be much higher than his, she actually did more work than him. She had to follow Jin Xishan throughout the costume design process. As for Tian Xingjian, she knew that he was a group of people who would stop after filming the Han plot.
That was why she was so indignant. Why couldn't she eat roast pig with him? This was what made him the most angry, especially when he saw Tian Xingjian's face. He wanted to step on this hateful guy's face with her flat shoes.
"Okay, okay, we'll talk about it later. By the way, did you read the email I sent you? It's some Han Dynasty clothing I found on the Internet. Some of them are photos of museum relics.”Tian Xingjian was just teasing her, and now that he was working, he naturally started talking about work.
"Ah, why didn't you say so earlier? I'll see later. It's all your fault for not turning on your phone these past few days.”Kim Yoonhee said indignantly. She also realized that following Tian Xingjian had an innate disadvantage. She couldn't win in arguments, and she was always the one doing the cleaning.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll go smoke first. There's still an hour left.”Tian Xingjian looked at his watch. According to Hong Kong's request, they could only leave at 11:00 pm. They still had to pose for the reporters. After all, it was a cooperation between China and Korea.
"No, you're not allowed to leave. If you leave, who will I talk to?”As soon as Jin Yunxi finished speaking, she saw Tian Xingjian dodge her hand and walk through the crowd with a wicked smile. When she tiptoed to look for him, she could no longer see the bastard.
Tian Xingjian didn't care about this shoot at all. This shoot was nothing more than an eye-catching shoot. As for how Shen Lie got the CJ executives to pick the fruit, he wasn't interested in it, nor was it his place to know. Of course, Tian Xingjian wouldn't be stupid enough to go to the set and give orders. Their crew was the product of the cooperation between two big companies.
This would be very beneficial to them in the future. When the film was released and received good reviews, it would add an important experience to each of their resumes. Tian Xingjian's flattery had indeed paid off in the past few years. Shen Lie did not forget his loyal lackey. This time, he even gave him the title of director's assistant.
Tian Xingjian knew that no one would read the credits at the end of the film. The credits would be written after the names of the actors and actresses, along with a bunch of producers and supervisors. Of course, the credits would appear behind the director's column. After the seven or eight assistant directors in the production team like Quan Chengwu, the credits would appear under the director's assistant column.
However, Tian Xingjian's name wasn't displayed in Korean, but in proper Chinese. However, there was a bracketed " America " at the end. The audience would probably guess if he was a Chinese director or something. Anyway, they would not think that he was a Korean.
Of course, there was no point in saying so much. Assistant director, hehe, it was just a nice name. It was no different from a tea assistant.
This time, the filming location was indoors. Tian Xingjian, who had just voted for the script, knew that the scene would be Liang Jiahui getting the magical stone from India and performing a flying show with a group of people.
He ran to the grass behind the villa and sat down on the stone steps beside the house. He took out a cigarette and lit it up. He began to think about his future. This filming was definitely a chance for him to show off. He could brag in Han with this resume in the future. He might even find a few girls to arrange for Shen Lie. One day, a script would hit his head and he would be asked to guide him or arrange for him to shoot a TV series or something to practice.
However, Tian Xingjian still felt that it was better for him to shoot a movie himself. After all, he had the advantage of a bugged website. Although the script was a little expensive, he could become famous in one go. As long as he found an investor, he wouldn't be short of money. Naturally, he would be able to buy the script from the website. Although he would definitely suffer a huge loss in the early stages, as a director, even if he took a share of the box office, it would only be so much in Han. He wasn't an investor, so he would only earn a small amount.
Of course, Tian Xingjian had never thought of becoming a famous director in Han. He wanted to go to Hollywood. Han was just his starting point, not his destination. Only by making a name for himself in Han and Asia could he leave Han and go to Hollywood.
"Hey, lend me a light!" Tian Xingjian, who was imagining his future, suddenly heard someone talking beside him. He subconsciously handed the lighter over and continued to fantasize about his future life. Scarlet John, Natalie Potter, Ivanka Trump, these were all excellent women.
" I wonder if Scarlet and Natalie are good gay friends in this world. It would be great if they could have a threesome. Mm-hm, I think Daddy Ivanka even ran for the country's president in 2015. I wonder if he won. He might even be the first son-in-law. Tsk tsk!'
"I heard you're from Singapore?”The voice that sounded in his ear again made Tian Xingjian very unhappy. He was thinking about how to have sex with Ivanka in the White House and couldn't help but frown.
"Hello, I don't understand what you're saying!”As Tian Xingjian spoke, he turned his head to see which bastard dared to disturb his Bai Yue fantasies. Moreover, he was speaking Korean. However, just as he was about to glare at this bastard to make him retreat, he realized that he couldn't afford to offend this person.
"Haha! You're drooling!" Chen Long looked at the guy beside him with interest. He could naturally tell that this kid was thinking about something good. Otherwise, why would he sit on the steps and smoke while beaming at the air?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, big brother. Is there anything?”When Tian Xingjian saw the person beside him, he obviously couldn't continue pretending. He came here in the name of a translator. He had interacted with the other party yesterday, and he also wanted an autograph to show off when he went back.
"If there's nothing to do, we can just chat. This isn't Han Country, so there's no need for that!”Chen Long patted Tian Xingjian's arm, stopping him from standing up and bowing.
"Don't you have to deal with the paparazzi?”Tian Xingjian tried to find a conversation. God knows why this busy man would come here to smoke. He seemed to be immortal and even sat beside him. They didn't seem to be familiar with each other. Moreover, when he asked for an autograph yesterday, he didn't get it personally. He asked his assistant to pass it to him.
"It's to avoid the paparazzi. It'll affect the filming. I heard that you graduated from the University of Southern California?”Chen Long only had an impression of this kid after listening to Jin Xishan's words yesterday.
"I guess so. I just got a graduation certificate. It seems like I entered the directing industry a little early.”Tian Xingjian didn't dare to boast that he had much real talent. Talking about directing skills in front of this person was like playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong. Perhaps he couldn't compare to him in theory, but the movies that he made were enough to surpass him by an entire world.
"Indeed, directing has a disadvantage for young people. If you can't continue doing it, what are you going to do?”Chen Long said casually.
"I'm going home to be a cook." Tian Xingjian shrugged his shoulders and said. His family was the descendants of the imperial chefs of the former Qing Dynasty.
"Oh, your family owns a restaurant. Are you Chinese or a local?”Chen Long nodded and asked.
"My ancestors were from Xi'an. They hid in Xinjiapo during the war.”Tian Xingjian could say that he was Chinese, but he suddenly felt that this might be an opportunity. One had to know that Chen Long was filming a story about the Qin Dynasty, so he might get extra points. Of course, Tian Xingjian wasn't lying. His ancestors were indeed from Xi'an.
"Oh, Xi'an people, then do you know anything about the Qin Dynasty?”Chen Long also asked in a hurry, but after asking, he was happy in his heart. He had read the script, of course, he had checked the information in advance, and the Korean staff had also done a lot of research. If the crew did not have a certain understanding of Qin Chao, would they still be able to survive in the crew?
"It's just some things from books, such as terracotta soldiers, Mount Li, Huaqing Pool, and the Ming Dynasty city wall. I don't know much about them.”When Tian Xingjian heard this, Chen Long's words were indeed triggered. Of course, he couldn't let him give up just like that. He had a wild hope in his heart. If he could make Chen Long interested this time, maybe he wouldn't have to go back to Seoul to shoot the scene of the broken Goryeo Palace that was destined to be cut.
"Have you heard of the Ageless Medicine?" Chen Long also casually mentioned that the script he gave Hanfang this time wasn't all. In order to keep it a secret, he only sent Hanfang a portion of the script that they needed to shoot. This was what every production team would do. There was nothing special about it.
"Qin Shihuang is asking for immortal pills? "Both official history and unofficial history have mentioned it. However, whether or not it has been practiced is to say that it has not been practiced, while unofficial history is to say that it has been practiced. However, unofficial history is just a novel. It's fine to brag. If it has been practiced, the emperor will find a Taoist priest to practice it." Tian Xingjian said while calmly watching Chen Long's face. As expected, when he said unofficial history, his elder brother's eyebrows jumped."Actually, I personally admire Qin Shihuang.""I think it's a smear of the Han Dynasty and later generations to say that he was greedy for the throne. After all, history is the winner's thing. When I was young, I heard my grandfather say that the father and son had seen the library of the former Qing Dynasty. There was information that showed that they had discovered more western countries during the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, I think Qin Shihuang only wanted the Qin people to expand their territory and give future generations a more comfortable living environment. Moreover, Qin Shihuang's father and brother died young." He was afraid that he would not be able to give his descendants a more comfortable life after his death, so he wanted to live longer.”
"Your family is also a descendant of the former Qing Dynasty?" Chen Long looked at Tian Xingjian curiously.
"No, my grandfather and my great-grandfather were both chefs from the previous Qing Dynasty!”Tian Xingjian felt a little bitter in his heart."Damn it, I've told you so many things about Qin Shihuang, and you're talking to me about the Qing Dynasty. It's been more than 2000 years, okay? Stop fooling around. Let's continue talking about the Qin Dynasty. I haven't told you about helping Master Su."
"Imperial kitchen?" Chen Long was really interested this time. The chefs of the former Qing Dynasty imperial kitchen were very impressive people.
"No, no, no. The imperial kitchen is a general term. In short, the imperial kitchen is what we are doing now. It's just an ordinary kitchen. Moreover, our family isn't so lucky to cook for the emperor.”Tian Xingjian had already given up. What was going on? Why was he talking about his family's genealogy when he was just sucking up? Forget it, he should just go back and film the lousy plot of the Goryeo Palace.
"Isn't your family from Xi'an? Why did you go to the capital to cook?" Chen Long was quite interested in this secret.
"At that time, our family was originally cooking for the magistrate. Later, when the Empress Dowager returned to the capital, she casually brought it along.”When Tian Xingjian heard this, he felt like he was going back in circles. He quickly added fuel to the fire." Actually, I heard from my grandfather that our family has been from Chang 'an for generations. It seems that if the genealogy wants to be Pan, it's still the descendant of Tian Fen. She's Wei Zifu's younger brother and the wife of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.”
"Wei Qing? Huo Qubing?" After all, Chen Long had some inkling in his stomach.
"No, no, no. We're just collateral relatives. In modern terms, Prime Minister Hetian is a relative that we can barely reach. We can't even get close to the Wei family. Moreover, the genealogy wasn't passed down from the Han Dynasty. It was only added during the Qing Dynasty.”Tian Xingjian was also speechless. He was talking about Qin Shihuang properly, but now, he had gone back to the Qing Dynasty, and then back to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Alright, he admitted defeat this time. He could only blame himself for not being good at it. It seemed that Shen Lie and Chen Long were indeed not on the same level. Even if he wanted to flatter them, he could not do so.
Usually, when he talked to Shen Lie about the history of Huaxia, he would make Shen Lie dizzy. Even though he was dizzy, his eyes were filled with curiosity. Looking at Chen Long, not only was his face full of wrinkles, but he was also talking nonsense with him. As expected, it was better to talk about Chinese culture with foreigners. When talking about Chinese history with Chinese people, they were talking about different dynasties.
"That's not bad. Our ancestors were also prime ministers. Fang Xuanling, we're quite fated.”Chen Long chuckled. He felt a little like a hero cherishing a hero.
" Nonsense. I heard that your family has nothing to do with Fang Xuanling in the future. It's you who's always sticking close to him. Duang! Of course, Tian Xingjian was just complaining in his heart. He had to pretend that it was such a coincidence. Then we are also descendants of scholar-bureaucrats.”
" That's right…" Chen Long was about to continue bragging to Tian Xingjian when he saw his assistant running over. He stopped the topic and left after saying goodbye to Tian Xingjian.
Tian Xingjian looked at the departing figure with an indescribable feeling. Damn it, I've wasted my breath for a while. Fine, continue fantasizing. I was just thinking about who it was. Oh right, Marilyn monroe. Pei pei, this woman has already gone to see God. Right, right, right, Nicole Kidman. Tsk tsk. Sister, don't be anxious. Wait for me to save you. Little Tang will cheat on you sooner or later. Don't be with him. Follow me. I will hold your hand and walk to the peak of life together.
Tian Xingjian knew how to find trouble for himself. He didn't get Chen Long's favor, so he continued to fantasize about punching the Grammys, kicking the Oscars, holding the Hercules Cup in his left hand, playing the Super Bowl in his right hand, and sitting on the Blaine Cup below his butt. Well, it was a little isolated. Forget it, it was better to force it. After all, his nickname was Long Aotian, and his nickname was Zhao Yuetian.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Shen Lie found Tian Xingjian, who was hiding behind the villa and smoking. He greeted him and prepared to return to the hotel to pack his luggage. He still had to take the afternoon flight. If he missed the time, he would have dinner in Hong Kong. The company would never reimburse him.
This time, however many people came from Korea, they would still go back. Even Kim Hee Seon had to go back with them. She did not have much of a role in the movie. After returning to Korea, she would finish filming the Goryeo Palace first. Then, she would meet up with the crew at another place.
Of course, as mentioned before, there was also a crew from Hong Kong who followed them back to Seoul for Korean guidance. Yes, it was just to guide you on how to shoot. They asked you to shoot the person and not give me a scene. They asked you to give me a close-up and not give me a hand shake. That's right, that's it.
If Tian Xingjian had the choice of coming to Hong Kong, he would rather go to Jeju Island to hide from the snow and ice. At least the scenery there was good, there were beaches and the sea. This time, he came to Hong Kong to see the sea. What could he see in the dark night? The most important thing was that the ticket to Jeju Island was cheap. After all, it was a domestic trip, so the ticket was twice as cheap as coming to Hong Kong.
Of course, if Tian Xingjian managed to trick Chen Long into staying with the crew this afternoon, then Tian Xingjian would definitely say something else. He would definitely praise Hong Kong more than flowers.
As an ordinary person, Tian Xingjian naturally couldn't be spared.
After returning to Seoul, there was nothing much for him to do. He would report to the crew in two days. As for the Hong Kong staff who were arranged to come to Korea, naturally, CJ company's special staff would receive them. They did not need to care about them. After greeting them, Tian Xingjian took a ride directly to the apartment building, saving the fare. Kim Yoonhee did not follow them, but went with Kim Hee Seon and the others. As for what they were busy with, it was nothing more than clothing and makeup effects.
"Alright, I've worked for nothing. As expected, it's better to rely on myself than to rely on others. I still have to rely on you. Almighty Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, please ask the website to give me a lucky gift bag. Give me a script for free. I really don't have the money to buy it anymore. Oh right, I'll also give you a full set of the script, post-production editing, and background music. I don't need anything else. Oh, oh, oh. Don't forget that there's an investor. The most important thing is that there's an investor.”After Tian Xingjian returned to his room to bathe and burn incense, he bowed to the laptop in front of him. If it weren't for the limited conditions, he would have copied the opening ceremony in Hong Kong. Every time he opened a website, he would have to use one. As long as the website could give him a big gift bag for free, it wouldn't be good to always do charity.
A philanthropist was a job for the rich. A poor person like him just needed to show some kindness. He couldn't afford every script that was so expensive. If he could sell his kidney, Tian Xingjian would definitely do it. However, the World Food Agency wouldn't accept it.
When Tian Xingjian entered the website again, it was still the same as before. There were no new notifications, no dialog boxes that popped up, and it was still the same half-dead website. Other than the movie covers, ratings, and prices, there was nothing else. Moreover, this thing was not like Taobao. Tian Xingjian wanted to choose a price order and see if he could get an underrated movie from the lowest one. However, this thing could only be ranked by ratings or by country.
"Eh? Could it be that the version has been updated?" Tian Xingjian, who was casually flipping through the pages, suddenly realized that the version was a little different from the previous ones. In the past, the price of the movie was the same according to the rating. For example, if you scored 6 points, whether it was a commercial film or a literary film, the price would not be the same. However, it was different now. There were two movies with the same rating. The literary film was cheaper than the commercial film. The price of many movies had even changed.
As if he had discovered a new continent, Tian Xingjian wanted to find out why the website had updated its version. He browsed around and when he clicked on the downloaded option and saw the two movies he had downloaded, he instantly stood up.”
