Chapter IV: Identity

Xu Zheng is a proud person!

Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to apologize after the word-of-mouth failure of "Xi Youji"...

What does that movie have to do with him? The starring role is obviously a happy family!

Let's put it this way, if you look at the TV series he acted, there is no Douban score lower than 7 points!

This man's vision is really powerful.

"Spring Splendid Pig Bajie" is a TV series that really started Xu Zheng's career, and it was not favored by investors in the preparation stage, and the fundraising was in trouble.

At that time, Xu Zheng considered: "There is not much investment in this drama, even if the ratings are dismal, there is not much pressure to recover the cost", so he invested all his savings in the drama into the TV series.

As a result, this drama created "a myth in the history of Chinese television", not only did his role play "Zhu Bajie" become a classic role, but he also received dividends twice as high as his salary!

So, in general, he really can't look at it...

In fact, the creative ideas of "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie" have influenced his later "Embarrassment" series...

The producer of "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie" is called Fan Xiaotian, this product is a very unreasonable person, in the era when Mom was not born, he single-handedly created this drama mode of "the meaning of existence is to be complained about".

The creative mode of that drama: Find a Hong Kong screenwriter team, there is no idea and outline at all, that is, a few people sit together to make jokes, and then fill in the plot one by one according to these jokes.

"Thai Embarrassment" and "Hong Kong Embarrassment" are all stories that have characters and jokes first, and then they have them!

Therefore, he likes the script of "Big Diamond" very much, because this story contains jokes, which is a notch higher than finding stories in jokes!

It is said that Ning Hao originally wanted to invite Xiao Taohong to play Bao Shihong's wife, so he sent her an email with a script, and then Xu Zheng read the script and took the initiative to ask for a cameo with zero pay...

Why did Xu Zheng look through his wife's email?

I don't know...

But in the entire crew of "Crazy Stone", he is the most famous one, and he joined for free, and Ning Hao respects him very much.

Zhu Bajie, who no one knows...

Of course, the husky reminded Lu Xiaoran not to call him Zhu Bajie, but to call someone Mr. Xu!

......

Ning Hao spoke first: "I called Guo Tao, and he joined the group the day after tomorrow." ”

Yue Xiaojun: "Then let's start the day after tomorrow?"

"Have you got your car ready?"

Lu Xiaoran nodded: "... I'll go to the depot tomorrow..."

"How much?"

"Two cars plus one, eight thousand. ”

Ning Hao: "... That's fine. ”

"What car is 8,000 yuan?"

"Two scrap cars, modify them, modify them plus transportation costs... The boss and Zhang Jing are old friends, and they will confiscate our transportation fees!"

"Okay, then let's start work the day after tomorrow!"

Yue Xiaojun: "Are the actors alive?"

"Qi lived, Wang Xun promised to come and perform for a week!"

Lu Xiaoran was a little curious: "Who is Wang Xun?"

Yue Xiaojun replied: "The one who plays the Four Eyes, I heard that he is very famous in Chongqing!"

"Can we have Teacher Xu famous?"

"That is, when you mention Zhu Bajie now, you can think of Xu Zheng!"

“... Don't talk about this, eat..."

......

"Who settled the account just now?"

"I don't know, is it you who settled the account?"

“... It shouldn't be, it seems to be Xu Zheng..."

"Shanghainese are so generous?"

"You're geographic..."

The three of them walked and talked, and when they returned to the room, they found that there was one more person.

Quite tall, glasses, buckteeth, very thin, wearing a suit, in short, very ugly - which one is on the picture!

He was setting up his own bed - the inn itself was not particularly clean.

Lu Xiaoran and the three of them are not the kind of people who pay attention to people, the room is used for sleeping, and they live together, each of them brought a few underwear and two changes of clothes...

"Who are you?"

"I'm Wang Xun... You live in this house?"

Yue Xiaojun bared his white teeth and smiled happily: "Yes..."

He felt that his appearance might be going up - from the penultimate one to the bottom!

"I'm Huang Bo!"

"Lu Xiaoran!"

'Whew!'

Good night came out from under Lu Xiaoran's bed.

"I've got something to eat for you!"

Lu Xiaoran casually picked up a lunch box and poured fish balls: "Eat!"

Good night wagging tail and happy dinner...

“... You... How can you have a dog in a hotel?"

“... I can't throw it away, can I?"

Strictly speaking, the crew is not allowed to have dogs!

But that's a regular crew, "Crazy Stone" is a regular crew with wool, and the actors are all counted as a maximum of one hundred and fifty people, and more than half of them are actors from the local repertory troupe, a standard grass stage team!

Lu Xiaoran's actor contracts are all settled at one time - the regular crew generally pays a part of the deposit first, and then the actors start to work, and when the actors finish their work, they will give the rest of the money according to the contract.

TV series are more complicated, pay one in advance, pay another one after filming, be bought by the TV station, and then pay the last one...

When it came to "Stone", these actors either joined voluntarily or coaxed and deceived - Liu Hua, who played Brother Dao, was framed, he was the most senior in the cast group, and a group of young filmmakers set up him, an old-timer, so he was coaxed into the group.

"Anyway, you can't keep it in this house, this room is the four of us!"

Huang Bo squatted on the ground and touched the good night dog's head, and then asked, "... The three of us didn't speak, why do you have so many things?"

"What's your attitude?"

"Don't, Mr. Wang, don't be angry, Brother Bo is in the character now," Lu Xiaoran said: "Or, go find the assistant director to change rooms..."

Yue Xiaojun smiled: "Teacher Wang, you can be wronged, this dog is very well-behaved, you see, how cute..."

"No, I'm firmly against dogs! I'll go to the assistant director now!"

The four eyes were very unhappy and went out directly...

Huang Bo asked, "Who is it?"

Yue Xiaojun returned to the university: "... Wang Xun, the actor of Four Eyes, a local!"

Lu Xiaoran interjected: "Well, I just inquired, he is indeed very famous in Chongqing!"

Wang Xun is well-known in Chongqing, he is one of the "Top Ten Laughing Stars in Bashu", often starred in some local column dramas, relying on stage plays to support his family, just received a 100-episode column drama, "Crazy Stone" is he took the time to act...

This is what the husky just told him...

Lu Xiaoran didn't take Wang Xun seriously, the husky told him that this guy later got mixed up with Huang Bo, hugged him goodnight, and teased him a few times: "... That can't dislike us good night!"

Good night very comfortably with your eyes closed...

"Eh, Brother Yue, let's add some drama to Brother Dao?"

"What's the show?"

"It's that when Brother Dao moved, he saw a dog at home, so he stole it!"

Yue Xiaojun's eyes lit up: "Yes, you can add a paragraph." ”

After talking to himself for a while, he ran to find Ning Hao...

The screenwriter of "Crazy Stone" is Ning Hao + Yue Xiaojun.

Yue Xiaojun graduated from the Department of Chinese Opera Literature, at first he wanted to be a reporter, and later someone introduced him to write scripts, and slowly became a professional screenwriter...

He and Ning Hao are close friends, and the whole story of "Heart Flower Road" is actually Yue Xiaojun's personal experience - marriage failure...

Ning Hao took Yue Xiaojun from Beijing all the way to Dali.

There is a very literate version that says this: In Dali, Yue Xiaojun smoked his last cigarette, and Ning Hao asked, "Have you figured it out?" Yue Xiaojun nodded.

Immediately, the two returned to Beijing and wrote what they saw and heard on the road as "Heart Flower Road", and the two people on the road were replaced by Huang Bo and Xu Zheng...

He has an inspiration, and it's normal to run to the director...

"Brother Bo, let's go and pull the car back together tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'm fine anyway. ”

After chatting for a few words, the executive producer walked in with four eyes: "What is your situation? How can you have a dog?"

Lu Xiaoran glanced at Huang Bo, and then replied, "... This dog is also an actor in our crew, a very important prop!"

"Really?"

"Of course, the screenwriter went to the director to discuss adding a play, you just opened a single room for Mr. Wang, he is different from us, we are young actors!"
