This is a slightly dilapidated high school, located in an alley in Mong Kok Old Street, if it weren't for the three people who asked all the way, all pointing to this side, Li Yadong really couldn't believe that there would be a high school here.

This reminded him of Chef Xie's filming of "My Savage Classmate".

The gatekeeper was an elderly uncle, and Li Yadong said that he was looking for the crew, and it was easy to walk in.

The school is very small, three old buildings enclose a courtyard, covering an area of no more than 500 square meters, and some fitness equipment is distributed in it, which is probably the playground of this school.

After all, Hong Kong is a city where every inch of land is valuable, and when he thinks of the University of Hong Kong where he studied, Li Yadong is also relieved, and then he finds that the students in the mainland are actually quite happy.

Because it was a weekend, the school was quiet, Li Yadong stood at the bottom of the building and looked around, it was easy to find some stopped figures on the third-floor corridor of the building on the left, and guessed that it was impossible to make a mistake in filming.

Walking up the stairs, I faintly heard the sound of a piano, and when I came to the third floor, I was sure that someone was really playing the piano. But to be honest, it sucks.

"No, no, no, do it again, Qiming, you get closer to her, teach her to laugh when she plays the piano, not laughing, laughing heartily......"

A voice came, and Li Yadong's eyes couldn't help but light up, feeling a little familiar. At this time, everyone in the crew was paying attention to the situation in the music classroom, but no one noticed him, so he leaned behind the crowd and tiptoed to look.

In the classroom, there is a line book in his hand, and he is correcting the actor's mistakes, who is it, not Zheng Yijian?

The director of the TV series "Laser Youth" is Zheng Yijian, you must know that he is a complete newcomer, so this drama is actually a bit of a ticket game.

It is not difficult to see from this incident that some leaders in TVB still appreciate him, otherwise with his current qualifications, he is categorically not qualified to be a director.

It's just a pity that he didn't seize this opportunity to make good works to give back to those leaders who appreciated him, so that soon after, he would be transferred to the children's channel to host the show, and it was not until the early nineties that he changed to a singer, and his career improved slightly.

Therefore, from a certain level, this play can also be understood as a test for him by the upper leadership.

"Alright, one more time, camera ready, Action!"

The piano sounded again, and the plot began to play out, to be honest, Wu Qihua's brother Wu Qiming, acting is really bad enough, and his brother is not half a star, no wonder he will fade out of the screen later.

"Click!" Before he could play for twenty seconds, Zheng Yijian shouted directly.

didn't blame the two actors, but walked to the piano, motioned for the actress to get up, sat down by himself, and said to Wu Qiming, "Come, let's play." ”

As he spoke, he showed a shyness on his face, and leaned into Wu Qiming's arms like a wooden stick, which made the entire crew laugh.

Wu Qiming looked embarrassed, Zheng Yijian rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you laughing more ugly than crying?"

"Haha......" There was another burst of people turning on their backs at the scene.

Li Yadong sighed, where is this filming, it's just funny, and I probably understand why Zheng Yijian can't keep being popular.

This person is too casual in doing things, as a director, he knows that the actors are not acting well, not only does not blame, but also accompanies them to be funny.

If it can be done in this way, that's weird.

It's like Chen Xiaochun once said in an interview with the media that the reason why Zheng Yijian's popularity has declined is actually two words - love to play.

He was originally an existence that could be on an equal footing with the Four Heavenly Kings, but after "Crazy Boy", instead of striking while the iron was hot, he reduced his workload.

Chen Xiaochun said that every time he called, he would either ski in Switzerland or watch bullfights in Spain, and he spent much more time playing than working.

On the other hand, Andy Lau and others, which one is not desperate?

Li Yadong realized that a staff member had discovered him in front of him, so he left the set without waiting for the person to ask.

Sitting on the small playground downstairs and waiting, about an hour later, it was almost dusk, the crew called it a day, and people came down one after another.

When he saw the target, Li Yadong got up and beckoned, "Zheng Yijian!"

Zheng Yijian was talking to a staff member next to him, when he suddenly heard someone shouting to him, subconsciously raised his head, and looked in the direction of the voice, looking a little unclear So, he didn't know this person.

"Okay, you go back first, call in the evening. ”

After sending off the staff, Zheng Yijian walked over and asked in surprise, "This gentleman, do you know me?"

"Of course......" Li Yadong smiled, "I've seen the advertisements you shot." ”

In this way, Zheng Yijian will understand, he was discovered by talent scouts when he was walking on the street at the age of seventeen, and then he has filmed many advertisements in a row, although he is not very famous, but he is barely a public figure, and it is not uncommon to be known by a stranger.

"You're looking for me?"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Li Yadong, and I am the boss of Dongfanghong Pictures......"

At this time, he should have handed over a business card, but Li Yadong forgot to prepare.

"Film and television companies?" Hearing him say this, Zheng Yijian's eyes couldn't help but light up.

He dreamed of making a movie, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity. Because Shaw Brothers' film business has stopped, the current strategic direction is all about television.

This is the first time that someone from a film and television company took the initiative to come to the door, which made his heart slightly excited.

"Or ...... Let's find a place to have a light meal and talk while eating?"

"Good. Zheng Yijian readily agreed, he wanted to make a movie too much, if the other party came because of this, as long as it was not a Fengyue film, he would definitely not miss it.

The two of them didn't go far, they found a quiet restaurant nearby, and one of them asked for a steak.

"Boss Li, I don't know if you're looking for me......" Zheng Yijian couldn't wait to ask before a steak started.

"Make a movie. ”

Hearing these three words, Zheng Yijian's heart instantly burst into joy, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

"What character, do you have a lot of lines?"

Li Yadong glanced at him, and after chewing the steak in his mouth, he smiled, "Male No. 1, what do you say?"

"What?!" Zheng Yijian exclaimed directly, causing the diners at several tables next to him to look at this side and apologize in a hurry, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

Then, looking at Li Yadong excitedly, he still said in disbelief: "Boss Li, do you really want to ask me to play the male lead?"

Li Yadong nodded with a smile and asked rhetorically, "Don't you want to?"

"Of course I do!"

Zheng Yijian replied without thinking about it, suddenly realized something, and asked weakly, "Boss Li, that ...... What kind of movie is it?"

"Gangster theme. ”

Zheng Yijian listened to it, and let out a long breath, as long as it was not a Fengyue film, everything else could be accepted.

He couldn't have imagined that the first time someone asked him to make a movie, he actually went directly to the male number one, and he could wake up with a smile in his dreams.

At this time, Li Yadong diverted the topic and asked, "Do you have a contract with Shaw Brothers?"

"Oh......" Zheng Yijian probably knew what he was concerned about, and quickly explained: "Yes, there is, but it's just an ordinary contract, similar to the kind of hired workers, the restrictions are not big, you should also know that Shaw Brothers no longer has a film business, so there are not too many restrictions on this aspect, and some companies are willing to ask us to make movies, and the above is actually happy to see." ”

"Then this contract, if you want to cancel it, is it difficult?"

Everyone has selfish intentions, and Li Yadong is no exception, there is almost no doubt that "Crazy Boy" can be a big hit, if it is possible, of course he wants to sign a few leading actors into his company.

"This ......" Zheng Yijian couldn't help frowning, he understood what the other party meant.

The contract he signed with Shaw Brothers is very simple, unlike those celebrity contracts, after all, he is not a star now, and it is not difficult to terminate it. But the point, once you do this, you will completely offend the Shaw Brothers, and it will be almost impossible to cooperate in the future.

However, he has never heard of this Dongfanghong Pictures, and it is obviously a small company.

For the sake of such a small company, is it worth offending a giant like Shaw Brothers?

Li Yadong saw his scruples and said lightly: "What I need to tell you is that the movie you are going to make next is not one, but a series, a total of six." ”

"Six?!" Zheng Yijian glared fiercely.

"Yes......" Li Yadong nodded, "And these six dramas will all be filmed this year, and they will be released in theaters almost indiscriminately." ”

He paused at this point, glanced at Zheng Yijian, and then continued: "What does this mean, you should be clear, right?"

Zheng Yijian was all careful at this time, and he was jumping and fluttering, of course he knew it, after all, he had been in TVB for more than a year, in such an intensive screening mode, as long as the play was not so bad that it was unsightly, he, the male number one, could mix up a little fame no matter how bad he was.

The other party is trying to make him popular!

If you want to come like this, it makes sense to want to sign him wholeheartedly, after all, who wants to spend so much effort to make an actor who doesn't belong to his company popular?

Isn't that a wedding dress for someone else?

When his thoughts came here, Zheng Yijian's heart was undoubtedly shaken, he stayed in Shaw Brothers, don't look at it now, it seems to be doing well, and he is even directing a TV series, but in fact, the situation is not good.

He has received rumors, this drama is similar to a test, if the filming is good, he may be expected to be assigned to the film and television department, on the contrary, if the market feedback is not good, there is a high probability that he will be transferred to the least channel.

Oh my God, as long as he thinks of facing a bunch of children every day in the future, and pretending to be cute and teasing them, Zheng Yijian's whole head is big.

However, even if he thought so in his heart, for the sake of safety, he still consulted, "Boss Li, I don't know if the script for the first play is available, if not, the story outline is okay, I want to take a look at it before making a decision." ”

Li Yadong didn't refuse, it was reasonable, and said: "This is a simple ......"

As he spoke, he beckoned to the waiter, asked him for a pen and paper, and described to Zheng Yijian at the dining table the first part of "Crazy Boy", the storyline of people in the rivers and lakes. 8)
