Chapter 156: A Trip to the Hong Kong River (4)
On the third day, it was hot and windless.
At the Causeway Bay tram stop, a double-decker float dressed in antique style is parked. Ouyang, Xiao Xu, Zhang Li, Deng Jie, and Dongfang have already put on costumes, put on makeup, and drooped their heads in displeasure.
A group of reporters in ambush surrounded him, and Kaka began to take pictures again.
"Look this way, look this way!"
"Daiyu smiled, smiled!"
"Baochai, here and here!"
A few people reluctantly smiled and muttered quietly, "It turns out that this is a float parade on the street, I thought it was sitting in the car." ”
"How can you let us stand on the roof of the car, that's not a monkey?" Chen Xiaoxu was unhappy.
"The feudal society only paraded the streets, how did the Hong Kong film and television industry inherit this atmosphere?" Ouyang seconded.
"That's it, we, the condemned prisoners, are standing on the street in the car!" Deng Jie said.
"No, no, no!"
"No, no, no!"
ATV's hospitality was not without grandeur, and one of them was the parade of floats. However, due to the cultural differences between the two places, an incomparably glorious incident in Hong Kong has aroused great disgust among several people.
Ren Dahui and Wang Fulin persuaded beside them, "After people finish filming a TV series, they have to promote it like this." ”
"Since it's arranged, let's go up, otherwise the face won't look good. ”
"You should go shopping, and bear with me for a while. ”
"Then why don't you go?"
"Hey, people are watching actors, not us!"
A group of old scoundrels waved their hands one after another, indicating that they would not lose this person.
Ouyang swept his head inside and shouted, "Teacher Xu, you are also an actor, why don't you come up?"
"What am I doing in a supporting role, who knows me?"
Xu Fei squatted in a cool place, eating ice cream very happily, "It'll be over in a while, obedient." ”
"Li Kun, you are so bad twelve golden hairpins, you come up!" Deng Jie also shouted.
"I'm so old that I don't show my face. "Sun Mengquan is not stupid.
To put it mildly, the five of them got on the float and set off from the Causeway Bay tram station and slowly drove towards the downtown area.
The parade of floats had to stand on the roof of the car, but the gang hid in the carriage and couldn't get up. Aaron and the others were about to cry, "Mr. Ouyang, please, go up and stand up!"
"It's good to give face, if you don't go up, we will be scolded!"
Everyone couldn't bear to look at it, and reluctantly got on the roof of the car. Several people stood on it, their faces stiffened, and they felt more and more like monkeys, let alone waving, and they couldn't even raise a smile.
Reporters on both sides also wondered that they had seen a lot of floats, and it was the first time they had seen such a hard-pressed float. The crowd is even stranger, some know that it is the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", and some are not clear, and they are talking about it.
"They're on the edge?"
"Miss Asia?"
"It's possible, there's a boy. ”
In such a scene, ATV was also very helpless, only visited a downtown area, and then came back in disgrace.
The five of them changed their clothes and removed their makeup, which made them more comfortable.
When everyone returned to the bus, Aaron was also worried, "The itinerary is all disrupted, and it was supposed to take half a day to parade the streets, what should I do now?"
"Please tell me what kind of activities can be arranged?" said Miss Yin.
"That, Aaron!"
Xu Fei suddenly raised his hand and said, "Can you take us to the set for a visit?"
"On the set?"
Several members of the public relations department discussed slightly, "Yes, but it may not be interesting, you can bear more." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, we really want to see it. Wang Fulin agreed.
So the bus turned around and drove to ATV's headquarters on Broadcasting Road.
I took a cursory look at it before, but today I will be more detailed. Everyone bypassed the front building and came to the backyard, where several interview cars were parked, which was high-end and atmospheric, which made Dai Linfeng extremely envious.
Following the back building, Aaron introduced: "This is where we produce programs, including set rooms, props rooms, video studios, news departments, engineering departments and many other departments, and some TV dramas are also filmed here. ”
"Filming a TV series in the building?" Wang Fulin was surprised.
"The scenery will be understood in a while. ”
Everyone turned around three times and two times, walking in the labyrinthine floor, Xu Fei suddenly saw a sign that said, "Props room." ”
"Aaron, can we go in and have a look?"
"Yes. ”
He pushed the door open, and everyone was shocked, especially the few who were engaged in production.
A huge room, divided into categories, neat and tidy, first according to ancient costumes, the Republic of China, modern points, and then according to the type of use. Rows of shelves are filled with pots and pans, bottles, jars, cups and saucers, clock decorations, swords and guns...... At a cursory glance, there are several thousand.
In the other large room that is connected, it is densely hung with clothes, pants, shoes and hats, cheongsams, short shirts, armor, and robes.
Xu Fei picked up a porcelain vase casually, paper-paste, rough workmanship, far less fine than "Dream of Red Mansions". He lingered with Dai Linfeng, Wang Fulin, and Li Yaozong for a while before continuing to walk up.
The space above suddenly opens up, long and tall, with a full costume interior scene, and two groups of people are shooting nervously, without interfering with each other.
"One of the biggest weaknesses of our ATV is that we don't have our own set, but Yau Sang has bought a farm in Tsuen Wan and is ready to build our own TV city. The next time you have the chance to come over, you might see it. ”
Aaron looked proud, but Xu Fei knew that Qiu Degen would be investigated for the "Far Eastern Bank Fraud Account" case next year, quit ATV, and Lin Baixin took over.
ATV later built a film and television city in Tangxia Town, Guangdong Province, but it quickly went downhill, and all kinds of bankruptcies, even the land in Tsuen Wan was sold.
The two crews are costume dramas, and the filming is in full swing, so they don't have the time to deal with it.
Wang Fulin secretly moved to a corner, reached out and pinched the "pillars of the house", and pressed the "floor tiles".
Li Yaozong asked quietly, "How is it?"
"The floor tiles are foam, the pillars are paper-paste, and there may be poles to support them, otherwise they can't stand so high. What did you find?"
"I heard someone shouting Diao Chan, it should be a play in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but the tables and chairs are in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the windows, candlesticks, and wine cups are not right, you see, there is also a blue and white porcelain. ”
The two of them were surprised, they thought about how high the Hong Kong counterparts were, but the result was rough.
After standing like this for a while, when I saw that one set of shots was filmed, and when the next set of fighting scenes was filmed, my thoughts immediately changed again.
Two people fight against each other, one person directs, to the effect that first throw a chair, then jump up and kick the chair away.
“a!”
"If you want to kill me, it depends on whether you have the ability!"
A bearded man picked up the seat and slammed it at the other party, who obviously had a bit of kung fu, jumped high, and gave a beautiful kick.
Syllable!
Crash!
The wooden chairs suddenly split apart and scattered to the ground.
"Cards!"
"Next!"
“......”
Wang Fulin's eyes widened, this, how did this be done? Could it really be that he kicked it badly?
Dai Linfeng also came over, "That's the action guide that Xiao Xu said, right?"
"It should be, but how is this chair, how is it ......"
He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't see it.
Everyone watched for a while and was deeply shocked, one was Wu Zhi, and the other was the shooting speed. It's so fast! One shot after another, like a marquee.
And the actor doesn't seem to have a complete script, so he plays freely, and when he shouts ng, he says different lines several times.
Everyone was shocked and puzzled, can the TV series still be filmed like this?!
Xu Fei's feelings are a little deeper, the filming cycle of Hong Kong film and television dramas is short, as we all know, but it is not unexpectedly rotten.
"Gunfire" for 19 days, "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" for a week, "East Becomes West" for half a month, and "Crazy Boy Raptors Crossing the River" for 11 days.
The circle is full of impetuousness, circle money, following the trend, underworld, and behind-the-scenes transactions, but in this environment, so many classics can still be born.
Therefore, he has always believed that the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the first ten years was like a son of the plane, all kinds of hanging.
Director, screenwriter, actor, singer, cinematographer, art, music...... It seems that all the aura in this projectile land has been concentrated in the past twenty years.
Hong Kong people themselves don't miss it, because the environment is bad. But as bystanders watching pirated discs, when we mention old Hong Kong films, we always have a special attachment.
At that time, the fireworks were full of fireworks, the position was coquettish, and the beauties were not only beautiful, but also acting.
Even Li Jiaxin and Guan Zhilin's recognized vases, acting is at least qualified. and Lao Wang, who has always been underestimated, in the part of "Green Snake" where he played in the water with Maggie Cheung's mandarin ducks, Qiu Xiaozhi suddenly broke in.
Lao Wang's eyes changed, and he hung a small flower.
But then again, after 20 years of this miracle, Hong Kong seems to have been hollowed out of spirituality, plummeting, and even actors are out of business.
"Okay, let's get to know each other. ”
It's easy to wait for the crew to rest, and Aaron beckons both parties to come over.
"The TV series "Wulin Story", which talks about the enmity of the rivers and lakes, is our actor Yin Tianzhao. ”
Hi, God bless you!
Xu Fei shook hands when he went up, and his enthusiasm made Yin Tianzhao inexplicable.
Back then, Phoenix Satellite TV broadcast "I Have a Date with a Zombie", and he was in junior high school. Parents are strict and have to go to bed early at night, so they get up at five o'clock in the morning the next day to watch the replay.
Then I went to the school to discuss with my friends, Wang Zhenzhen, the generals, Kazuo Yamamoto, Ma Xiaoling's long legs, and long legs.
"This is "Diao Chan", our heroine Li Zhi. ”
Aaron's attitude is different, even a little flattering, "She is our Miss Asia champion last year, Qiu Sheng's strong support." By the way, she is also from the mainland. ”
"Hello, I am from Shanghai, and I came to Hong Kong a few years ago. ”
Li Zhi is dressed in ancient costumes, speaks standard Mandarin, and has a very decent smile.
As soon as they heard that they had come from the mainland, everyone couldn't help but be a little cordial and chatted for a while.
She gives people the impression that she is good-looking and has a strong figure, but she is actually very smart. In 81, he moved to Hong Kong with his father, and initially auditioned for the New Arts City, but the New Arts City disliked her and turned her away.
So she hired someone to teach her English, and then went to the University of San Francisco to study business economics, and participated in the Asian sister beauty pageant last year.
Xu Fei also shook his hand, felt the level of service in the eighties, and shook his head secretly.
Li Zhi, it's still good to have short hair.
