Chapter 43: The dark horse in the film industry who has been recorded in film history

On the track, Xu Ang was speeding with his legs open. Zhang Ming and his coaching team timed the timing and observed Xu Ang's movements. After coming to the United States for several days, their work finally started.

Xu Ang, who is about the technical essentials, didn't realize it very quickly, that is, they said it once, and then Xu Ang tried to do it a few times, which made Zhang Ming feel that it is good to have a smart brain.

It was found that the teaching of technical essentials would not take up too much time, so Zhang Ming immediately started the next item, which was also the most important one.

That is to design a running pace that suits Xu Ang according to his own situation.

This pace includes the size of each step, the frequency of the step, and the different force at each stage of the track, etc.

And this requires constant adjustment by observing Xu Ang's running situation.

Before that, Xu Ang never thought that there are so many ways to run a 100-meter run, which made him both surprised and curious. Xu Ang also wanted to know how fast he could run after using professional techniques.

"Nine seconds seventy-nine."

This result made Zhang Ming take a breath, but also made him more and more sure that Xu Ang's performance could be improved.

Don't look at the improvement of only 0.1 second, you must know that it is not easy at all to make further progress, especially this 0.1 second improvement allowed Xu Ang to break through the limit of 9 seconds and 8, and the significance is even more extraordinary.

Can Xu Ang become the world champion in the 100-meter race?

Do not!

Zhang Ming shook his head: It's not as simple as being a champion, he can also break the world record.

When he thought that the first yellow race world champion in the 100-meter race came out of his hands, and that the most shining pearl in the track and field would no longer be an exclusive stage for white or black races, Zhang Ming's heart was hot.

As for breaking the world record, that's even more incredible.

Zhang Ming seemed to see a bright future for himself.

And this has a premise, that is, Xu Ang has to cooperate with him, otherwise everything can only be a dream.

It's about his own future, so Zhang Ming can't help but care. He also showed Xu Ang the thoughtfulness and generosity that he had never shown to other athletes.

As long as his grades don't slip, he should train moderately, not as desperately as he used to train others.

Xu Ang did not know the preferential treatment he received. He had no comparison object, and thought that all athletes were like this. And Zhang Ming's generosity also gave Xu Ang a lot of time to do other things, such as filming "Blair the Witch", which Jiang Wu thought was just an ungraduated student from the Film and Television Academy.

Just as Jiang Wu commented on the script before, he felt that this script can only be used to practice hands, and it is for beginners to practice hands. He said so and thought so. Therefore, when Xu Ang asked for Xu Ang to be the photographer himself, Jiang Wu did not object.

He Jiang Wu is just taking this to get familiar with the Hollywood filming process and prepare for the actual filming in the future. Xu Ang likes to play with his hands-on work such as "Blair Witch" and let him play. Anyway, this thing can't be in theaters. show.

The story of Blair the Witch is very simple.

It tells the story of three film school students who go to a small town called Blair to investigate the legend of witches with their camera equipment.

They entered the Black Mountain Forest in order to find the trace of the witch, and then disappeared. No matter how the locals searched, they could not find it.

It was not until a year later, that is, this year, that someone found a package from a very secret hut in the mountain, which contained the diary of one of the students and a film copy that had been edited, recording what happened when the three disappeared. all terrorist incidents.

Putting those events together, it's what this movie is about.

In order to make the displayed picture more realistic, most of the lenses use the first angle of view, and Xu Ang also requested to use a handheld DV to shoot.

It is for this reason that Jiang Wu is more and more indifferent to "Blair Witch".

Can a handheld DV be compared to a camcorder for filming?

Your camera shakes and shakes, and the picture quality is so bad. Are you trying to torture the audience, or torture the audience?

Oh, I'm sorry, you can't torture the audience, because it's impossible for any film and television company to release something more amateur than amateur movie lovers.

This is what Jiang Wu said, and no one can change it.

In fact, not only Jiang Wu thinks this way, but everyone who participated in the production of "Blair Witch" thinks this way, including Yang Xiaomi who played one of the three main characters in it.

For Yang Xiaomi, it doesn't matter if he accompanies Xu Ang to practice his hand, it's just to satisfy the hobby of the rich.

As far as the crew is concerned, as long as Xu Ang gives enough money, he will shoot a bunch of shit. These people will use the professionalism of their Hollywood film and television personnel.

Can't it really change?

Xu Ang had a different opinion, so he approached Jiang Wu: "Brother Wu, let's make a bet that it will be shown in theaters in the United States."

Jiang Wu shook his head and refused without thinking: "No gambling."

Really think that Jiang Wu is stupid. This is the United States, a capitalist country where money is paramount. Can Xu Ang, a billionaire, do anything?

"Then let's bet something else." Xu Ang rolled his eyes and said again, "Like a big box office sale?"

Jiang Wu's eyes widened: "You really dare to think about it."

If I bet on this, I won't be afraid.

"Tell me, how much box office do you want to bet Rubbing his chin, Xu Ang said tentatively: "The rice needs to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road needs to be taken step by step. We can set a small goal first and then Finish it, let's say sell it for 100 million. "

Jiang Wu: "!!!"

Are you crazy or am I crazy? You still expect it to sell 100 million at the box office for this piece of shit, and this is in the United States, and the unit of measure is US dollars, what a joke.

Seeing Jiang Wu's joking expression, Xu Ang said, "Just bet 100 million at the box office, and I will be responsible for the difference between your next two movies' investment. Jumping."

Jiang Wu responded boldly: "Yes, just do it like this."

Yang Xiaomi, who was on the side, just looked at it, but she didn't dare to speak.

Are the things rich people play so fresh and refined? One hundred million dollars is just a small goal, and a small goal like this will never be accomplished in my life.

What is the gap?

This is the difference.

With Xu Ang's character, can he do things he is not sure about?

As a dark horse in the Hollywood film industry, "Blair Witch" has been written into film history. Although as a model of low cost and high box office, its value is not in the film itself, but in its groundbreaking. Otherwise, Jiang Wu would not have taken it seriously and should have placed the bet made by Xu Ang.

After all, the reason for the success of "Blair Witch" is not in the movie, but because of the extra-discretion, which is beyond Jiang Wu's professional scope. Unexpectedly, these extra-disc moves were never thought of in this era, and it is not clear how they work, but they have been played out in later generations.

"Brother Wu, I'm waiting for your handstand dance."

I don't know why, but after hearing Xu Ang say this, Jiang Wu felt that he made a wrong decision.
