"You're still looking to hire some reliable film composers, aren't you? I heard that Fang Dou knows a very good composer, and they have a very good relationship. Only if you accept Fang Dou will you be able to hire that person."
Chen Bei had never heard of Fang Dou, but since Chang Ming said so, he was willing to believe it.
The martial arts instructors in Hong Kong are very famous. The success of Hong Kong's action movies back then was definitely due to the efforts of these martial arts instructors.
The contribution of martial arts instructors to Hong Kong's action films is no less than that of teachers to the island's action films.
Later, the film and television industry in Hong Kong was not doing well, and many martial arts instructors chose to go overseas, and some went to Hollywood to develop.
Ever since Hollywood hired these martial arts instructors, the improvement in their fighting skills has been visible to the naked eye.
Anyway, in Chen Bei's memory, before hiring Chinese martial arts instructors, the fighting scenes in European and American action movies were still at the level of you punch me, I punch you back, and the competition was just about who could take the beating more!
Action movies are a very popular film genre, so Chen Bei certainly cannot give up this huge market.
That's why he chose Hong Kong Island as the second filming location. He needed to get in touch with practitioners in Hong Kong Island and recruit some useful talents.
So Chen Bei took out his business card and handed it over politely, saying:
"Hello, Mr. Fang Dou. Let's get to know each other. My name is Chen Bei. I own a film company in mainland China. I'm currently filming a movie in Hong Kong. I've heard from friends in the industry that your martial arts instruction is quite high. I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting you to my company?"
The boss of a film company? Still making movies in Hong Kong Island? You?
Fang Dou took the business card handed over by Chen Bei with some surprise, his eyes full of distrust.
Fang Dou casually glanced at the business card in his hand and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, I haven't heard of this company, and I don't plan to continue working in the film and television industry."
Fang Dou patted his thigh and said:
"You can see that my legs are broken now. I'm a cripple. How can I be a martial arts instructor for others?"
Chen Bei looked at Fang Dou's legs and asked with some doubt:
"The martial arts instructor doesn't have to be on stage himself, so it shouldn't have any impact, right?"
Chen Bei is a novice when it comes to film and television shooting. He doesn't quite understand the operating procedures, so he speaks carefully. He thinks this is the respect he should show to professionals.
Fang Dou smiled bitterly and said:
"While martial arts instructors don't have to perform on stage themselves, some moves, once designed, must be demonstrated to the actors in person. Otherwise, it's difficult for the actors to fully understand the subtleties of the moves."
After hearing this, Chen Bei understood that oral narration was ultimately too subjective and one-sided.
This is the same reason why animation is definitely more intuitive than novels. The conversion of language and text into images requires brain processing.
You cannot guarantee that everyone's brain thinking logic is exactly the same as yours.
Therefore, if the martial arts instructor does not demonstrate it personally, he will often describe one action, but the actor will perform another action.
This kind of thing may not seem like a big problem, but if you really look into it, it will be a waste of time, greatly slowing down the progress of filming and increasing costs.
Besides, everyone knows what kind of people these days are like, but will they really stand there and correct their movements over and over again?
If you have the free time, why not shoot a few more commercials?
If Fang Dou continues to insist in this situation, conflicts will definitely arise.
It would be even more disgusting if the other party brought up the fact that he had a lame leg.
From Fang Dou's expression, it can be seen that he must have encountered such a thing.
Even if the stars don't say anything, won't their followers and agents be sarcastic?
Chen Bei knew the character of those agents too well.
This time he came to persuade the other party to join, and Chen Bei had already considered various situations.
So after hearing Fang Dou's refusal, he was not disappointed, nor did he leave. Instead, he continued to look at the other party with a smile and said:
"Teacher Fang Dou may not know me very well. You can check it out online first. Our company is quite powerful."
"Also, our company respects authority very much. As long as you are the martial arts instructor, you will have absolute say in this matter. This can be written into the contract."
"If anyone dares not to cooperate, we can even replace them directly."
"This is our sincerity, and I think you should be able to sense it. Of course, we won't force you to make a decision right away. This is a pretty big deal, after all. You can think about it. If you're willing, you can always call us."
Chen Bei pointed to the phone number on the business card and said:
"Then we won't bother you with your business for now. My friend also recommended several other very talented teachers in the film and television industry, and we'd like to visit them as well."
After saying that, Chen Bei smiled confidently and prepared to leave, because he could clearly see that when he said he had to visit other people, Fang Dou's expression obviously changed and became very nervous.
He wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to start.
Fortunately, someone nearby spoke up for him:
"What are you still hesitating about, Brother Fang? Don't you know who this guy is? He's Teacher Chen Bei. The movie he made a while ago made hundreds of millions of dollars in the mainland alone. If you really follow him, you'll be rich again!"
