Chapter 2: Claws
Sitting in front of the monitor and watching for twenty minutes, Zhang Hongren was stupid.
He felt that his chest was very tight, and he had an old groove that he didn't vomit or feel unhappy.
According to another assistant director, this is to reflect the touching plot of the actor's kindness and simplicity.
This TV series is a costume fantasy drama, and the main content is love.
That's right, the main thing is love!
Or, in addition to romantic dramas dressed in various skins these years, are there any other dramas on TV?
This TV series is called "Clouds Fall into the Red Dust".
To put it simply, it is the story of the son of an ignorant emperor who went down to earth privately and fell in love with a human empress.
Old-fashioned, and clichΓ©.
But if you can shoot and act, then it's not a big problem.
But herein lies the problem.
Zhang Hong watched the 20-minute clip.
This part of the plot is about the god who has just descended to earth, that is, the male protagonist.
In order to show his kindness, he directly arranged a "tear-jerking" plot.
The actor was walking on the road and saw an old man sitting on the ground with an old lady in his arms.
The old lady was seriously ill, and she was not going to do it anymore, and she had already begun to explain what was going on.
And then there's the spit point.
The actor stood two meters away and silently watched the big lady chatter.
She said something like "old man, I'm dying, I can't be with you anymore".
There is another affectionate BGM that urges people to pee.
And then...... She just babbled for fifteen minutes!
Fifteen minutes, it!
How come you die and die and you can't die?
Zhang Hong's boxed lunch has been eaten! She's not dead yet!
Then the actor stood two meters away and watched it for fifteen minutes!
Then the lady said that she was in great pain and begged the uncle to give her a good time.
The uncle agreed, and when he raised his hand, he was about to stab the eldest mother to death.
Then the male protagonist suddenly rushed up and grabbed him: "Uncle! I'll give you all my money!
Then the old man was very surprised: "Ah, who are you, why are you giving me money, why are you so kind?"
Actor: "I see the feelings of your two elders, I am moved, I will give you all the money, go to the doctor." β
Zhang Hongren is stupid!
You've been standing two meters away for fifteen minutes!
Fifteen minutes!
Is this uncle blind?
The blind man sees again, what a medical miracle!
If Zhang Hong deals with this, let the uncle and aunt get the money and immediately stand up and run like no one else!
Don't you want to be affectionate? What kind of atmosphere do you have after fifteen minutes of affection?
And isn't it to show the innocence and kindness of the male protagonist?
That's how it should be!
It's a pity that the funnier one is coming.
didn't shirk it for a long time, and the aunt thanked the protagonist half-dead for a long time.
She said a bunch of crap like "you're so kind, thank you so much, I really don't know how to thank you, you're such a nice person"!
Speak for a full five minutes!
I know that you want to set up a character, maybe the script is indeed a brushstroke, but if you shoot like this, it's only funny!
Five minutes later, after the eldest lady finished saying all the words of thanks, her head tilted, her eyes rolled, and she lost her breath.
Yes, she's out of breath!
At this time, Zhang Hong's eyes had lost their highlights.
He couldn't figure out what he had been watching in the past twenty minutes.
Sensational?
The rhythm is so bad, and it's a fart feeling!
In order to set up a character for the protagonist?
He only thinks that the protagonist is stupid, ridiculously stupid.
The language of the lens is even more rubbish.
And the acting skills of the characters are even more garbage in the garbage!
That's not just garbage!
What can be filmed in a few words, it took 20 minutes to get it!
And why is this plot so familiar? as if he had watched this TV series in his previous life.
If you think about it, isn't this the ...... Ahem!
The name of the TV series is still not mentioned.
However, Zhang Hong was quite impressed.
He remembered that he watched TV with his mother at dinner one night in his previous life, and he happened to act in this plot.
He complained about this TV series at the time, I can really do it!
Zhang Hong turned his head and glanced at the buddies in the photography group.
His eyes were complicated.
There's a lot to say in it.
But the buddy should have seen it, so he scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Director Zhang, you know me, and I don't want to...... But it can't be helped, the plot is like this. β
After a pause, he looked back, and then leaned next to Zhang Hong and lowered his voice: "Director Zhang, that old man and old lady are from the capital." and the little white face, they are all together, and we can't stop it if we want to add drama. β
Well, that makes sense...... Zhang Hong nodded, saying that he understood why these people's acting skills were so bad.
is still alive and dead, and the expressionless faces are the same as reading the lines according to the line book.
No matter what mood you are in, you will only frown, me!
But there is no way, who makes the family an investor.
Even if he doesn't know anything about the entertainment industry, Zhang Hong also knows that people who bring money into the group can't afford to mess with them.
At this time, Wang Yeyin, who went to negotiate with the little white face, came back.
Just looking at the expression, Zhang Hong knew that the result was not good.
"Xiao Wang, what did they say over there?"
Wang Chen hid back in the nanny car and didn't get down, and his agent said that he asked Director Sun to apologize to him, otherwise he wouldn't shoot this scene. After speaking, Wang Ye scolded, "What kind of bullshit is a big name! Director Sun said that he has no acting skills and is not wrong!"
Wang Chen is the name of the little white-faced fresh meat.
Zhang Hong glanced at him: "Xiao Wang, can you afford to buy a house in the capital?"
Wang Ye was stunned for a moment, and then became a little angry: "Director Zhang, I can't afford to buy a house in the capital! But I'm still young! It's a big deal to go back to my hometown in the future! And does this have anything to do with the current situation?"
"Don't be angry. Zhang Hong patted him on the shoulder, "Actually, I can't afford it." β
Then he shrugged: "You see, when you get poked in the sore spot, you get angry, and because it's the truth and you can't refute it, you get even more annoyed." β
Wang Ye thought thoughtfully: "So Director Zhang, do you think that guy has no acting skills?"
"Nonsense, the one with acting skills is called a 'powerful young actor', is he?" Zhang Hong smiled: "Also, just call me Brother Zhang." β
But I'm two years older than you...... Wang Ye opened his mouth, and finally shouted: "Brother Zhang." β
The atmosphere was no longer so stiff, but Zhang Hong sighed: "But now even if he doesn't have acting skills, we have to use him, I'll find a way to apologize on behalf of Director Sun in a while, otherwise the owner of the family really withdraws the investment, then we really have to finish playing, and this film will not be filmed." β
As a senior office worker, he knows the importance of face.
For the bigwigs, face is very important.
But for office workers who are trying to earn hard-earned money to eat, what is it?
Well, it's all self-soothing from old fritters.
In Zhang Hong's view, if you don't treat yourself as a person, then others are even less likely to treat you as a person.
And he just learned that a total of 90 million was invested in this play.
Among them, Jimei Culture Media invested 85 million, and the remaining 5 million was paid by Director Sun Zheng's own pocket, so he couldn't let Director Sun spend the 5 million in vain, right?
Well?
Zhang Hong suddenly noticed that something was wrong.
He raised his head and asked, "Xiao Wang, what is Wang Chen's salary?"
Wang Ye thought for a while and replied: "If it is calculated according to the salary of a single episode, he can get a total of 80 million for this drama." β
It means that excluding the salary of the little white face, all the other costs add up to only 10 million?
And among them, there are five million, which is paid by Sun Zheng's handsome old man out of his own pocket?
No wonder I still think it's strange, I am a rookie director in this parallel world, why can I let others invest 90 million?
Originally, I thought it was Director Sun's face, but now that I look at it, there is a reason for this, but the more important reason is here.
Zhang Hongmo rubbed his smooth chin: "What is this Wang Chen...... Is it the male protagonist named by Guimet Culture?"
Although this kind of investment ratio is rather nonsense, he has seen similar things in the news in his previous life.
For example, if a drama invests 100 million, the actor's salary is 80 million.
Then I took a closer look and found that in fact, the investor who invested in the movie had an inextricable relationship with the financier behind the male protagonist.
Hey, hey, hey......
"yes. Wang Ye took out his mobile phone and flipped through the information, "Jimei Culture said before investing in this film, they only invested if there was Wang Chen, and they would not invest without Wang Chen, and this article was also written into the contract. β
Zhang Hong thought thoughtfully: "Then what does this Wang Chen have to do with Jimei culture?"
"Wang Chen is a contracted artist of Jixing Cultural Communication, I have investigated, Jixing and Jimei are the same boss, and I heard that there is capital standing behind this boss, but no one knows who it is. Wang Ye said hatefully: "I'm afraid that he is another boss who wants to take the opportunity to make money as an artist." β
"No, no, no, it's not that simple. Zhang Hong smiled.
That's pretty straightforward.
Jimei claims to have invested more than 80 million in a big play, but the salary of the designated actor is 80 million.
What is this, Wang Chen is also a tool man.
It is equivalent to saying that the capital behind Jimei made a big advertisement for publicity, and also relied on the name of director Sun Zheng to hold a handful of his own small fresh meat, and then most of the money was recovered.
How clever!
But in this way, Zhang Hong has the bottom in his heart.
Five million can't be filmed?
How is that possible!
Anyway, that's all there was to it!
Just find a handsome actor.
After a while, if you give the other party down the steps, then everything will be fine.
If the other party insists on making trouble, then he doesn't mind letting the other party get pasted.
He beckoned: "Who's that." β
The little brother of the camera crew ran over: "Director Zhang, you call me?"
"Well, you go and get ready, find a few more cameras to film everything that happens for a while, and remember that the radio equipment is turned on. Then I took pictures of all angles, all directions, and no dead ends, and I remember to shoot the close-ups of the panoramic scenes.
Come, give me the little bee to put it on the collar first. Remember to be hidden, you have to cover it with a military coat to be out of sight. β
"Okay! look!" Although I don't know why, the photographer is still ready to go.
After putting on the little bee, Zhang Hong straightened his military coat, then put his hands in his sleeves, and walked towards Wang Chen's nanny car in such a graceful manner.
When he got closer, Wang Chen naturally didn't get out of the car, only his female agent, who had a visual measurement of at least two hundred pounds, stood proudly outside the car door.
When Zhang Hong came over with Wang Ye, she looked at Zhang Hong contemptuously with her nostrils: "What do you say, either Sun Zheng came over to apologize, or you insulted our company's artists first, and we won't shoot this scene." β
Scold...... Zhang Hong smiled.
Director Sun vomited blood and was hospitalized, how can he apologize now?
He bowed ninety degrees directly, and then said loudly: "Zhang Hong apologizes to Mr. Wang Chen on behalf of all the members of the crew directed by Sun Zheng! Director Sun said that Mr. Wang Chen's acting skills are not good, I resolutely disagree! No one in our crew approves of it!"
Director Sun Zheng was hospitalized by Mr. Wang Chen, which was purely self-inflicted!
If our crew loses a future actor like Mr. Wang Chen, who can win the Oscar sooner or later, then our crew will regret it!"
The fat woman's face changed at that moment.
She gritted her teeth and said, "What do you mean!"
"No, no, no, I'm just apologizing. Zhang Hongxiao is harmless to humans and animals, and even a little humble, "Why don't I kneel down for the two of you?" If not, I will kowtow a few more times? What if I don't see blood in my head?"
The fat woman's expression was hideous: "Are you here to be weird with me? Okay! I'll tell you! We won't shoot this scene! You wait to be divested and dispersed! I want to see how you shoot this scene!"
Zhang Hong stretched his hand out of his sleeve, snapped his fingers, and then raised his left hand with a scissor hand.
Wang Ye, whose face was flushed with excitement, suddenly realized.
Then he took out a cigarette and sandwiched it between Zhang Hong's index and middle fingers.
When Zhang Hong put the cigarette in his mouth, he took out a lighter and helped Zhang Hong light it.
Zhang Hong took a deep breath, then a puff of smoke sprayed on the fat woman's face, and said a word with a smile:
"Claw!"
In his previous life, as a keyboard powerhouse, when he encountered this kind of garbage TV series, he often complained to people on the Internet about what kind of garbage this was!
Then other people's little fresh meat fans couldn't spray it, so they began to attack personally, and then cited an old-fashioned topic: "You can do it, you can do it"!
So!
Today!
Zhang Hong, a keyboard powerhouse, is about to tell her!
I'll do it too!
This drama, he is done!
