Chapter 118: Angel Fund Charity Concert Stars Club
"Card! Rong Shao, take it easy!"
After finishing the 'trivialities', Wu Cheng entered the normal shooting state. is filming the scene where Rong Shao's Shi Junmai and Ami meet for the first time and drive a car on the street to talk.
"Take out the calmness you had when you were chatting with Alain!" Wu Cheng exclaimed.
As a result, Leslie Cheung's face turned red when he heard it, originally in the crew, Leslie Cheung belonged to a relatively shy category, and he would not joke casually if he was generally unfamiliar.
But now that he is called by Wu Cheng, he is already thin-skinned, where can he stand this stimulation.
Lin Qingxia, who played Ami on the side, covered her mouth and giggled when she heard this.
"Okay, let's do it again!" Wu Cheng waved his hand and said, "Think about it, at this time, Shi Junmai hasn't taken a fancy to Ami, but he just thinks that she has great potential and is worth cultivating, instead of pursuing her, what's there to be nervous about?"
Half an hour later, the scene ended, and Wu Cheng announced that he would call it a day.
……
"Ka! Ah Hua, wait a minute!" When filming Ren Dahua as the agent, Wu Cheng shouted again, "Makeup...... Akan, come over here......"
"Director, what's the matter with people!"
Makeup artist Ah Kan pinched the orchid finger in his hand, twisted the 'little waist', and appeared in front of Wu Cheng.
Wu Cheng doesn't know if most male makeup artists have a tendency to be a woman, but this Ah Kan is definitely a very typical category, usually his words and deeds are not good, but he still feels that he is very man, which really makes Wu Cheng speechless. However, he is also a good material.
"Ah Hua, do you see clearly? Yu Guangtai, you play, this is the state, learn a little!"
"Ouch, director, you're going to die, people aren't the kind of gay that Yu Guangtai is, are they very manly, are they good? What are you laughing at, what are you laughing at? What's so funny, hum!
Shaking hands, twisting waists, stomping feet, typical motherhood.
"Ouch! I can't stand it anymore!" Lin Qingxia smiled while holding her stomach.
Others are also laughing, but Ren Dahua is embarrassed to laugh, because he will be in this state for a while, although he doesn't need to be so exaggerated, but he also needs to be very girly.
Unlike the original film, Wu Cheng did not put a thick fake beard on Ren Dahua. Of course, the original version of Yu Guangtai is not so powerful.
Wu Cheng just wants Ren Dahua to break through his performance boundaries.
Of course, this is also one of the relatively rare comedic effects in this film. The whole film is on the heavy side, and Wu Cheng needs something to embellish it.
"Director, I can do it!" After a long time, Ren Dahua said to Wu Cheng.
Wu Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just treat it as a joke, play a little more openly, and act as a woman." ”
Ren Dahua smiled and nodded, and Wu Cheng shouted at Ah Kan again: "Ah Kan, put some more powder on Ah Hua's face and make it whiter, a motherly person pays great attention to her appearance, just like yourself." ”
"Director, you're so annoying! Don't use other people as teaching materials all day long! People are very manly, okay?"
"Uh-huh, you're very manly, we all know that!"
When they heard this, they laughed again.
The filming continued like this, and the 'Drunken One' on the Xiangjiang side was also painted, and it was screened for twenty-three days, and the box office in Xiangjiang was as high as more than 11 million.
This is the third film with tens of millions of dollars since the creation of Donglong International. Many people are lamenting that the prosperity of the film industry in Hong Kong is coming, and more people are also participating.
However, on the other hand, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers give people a sense of declining and aging, and they do not have the strong vitality of Donglong International at all.
"Shaolin Gate" and "Children of Jianghu" were painted early, although their box office is much higher than in history, reaching more than two million, nearly three million. can be compared with Donglong International's 'drunk one', it is completely incomparable.
It can be said that the limelight of Donglong International has overshadowed these two large companies.
In this way, the Flying Dragon Cinema Line is a continuous stream of films, directly breaking through the blockade of Golden Harvest.
The release of 'Drunken One' in the Nanyang area, Wu Cheng was still handed over to the Shaw Brothers, and Shao Daxiang enjoyed his influence in Nanyang, and Wu Cheng would not be able to shake it for a while.
Moreover, Wu Cheng was also worried that the Shaw Brothers would join forces with Golden Harvest to block him. Although he is not worried about this situation now, it is better not to show up, or not to appear.
Moreover, the issuance of the Nanyang side, Donglong International will not be able to establish it for a while and a half, compared with the ticket warehouse of Japan, South Korea and Baodao, the Nanyang side is much inferior. In Japan and South Korea, Wu Cheng was still handed over to the two distribution companies that originally issued 'miscellaneous', and Wu Cheng directly handed over the distribution of Baodao to the branch on Baodao, and Zhang Aijia was in charge.
Zhang Aijia also lived up to Wu Cheng's trust, and simply completed the matter, which not only borrowed the momentum of Jiang Sangongzi, but also contributed to Zhang Aijia's own relationship.
It can be said that with Zhang Aijia in charge, Wu Cheng can save a lot of energy.
After the issuance of 'Drunken One', Donglong International's branch on the treasure island side can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold. As for whether it can be an instant hit in the future, Wu Cheng pins his hopes on "Taking the Wrong Car".
With the box office income of 'Drunken One', Donglong International can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and Wu Cheng is also relieved, otherwise, the funds this time will be a little tight.
Playing like him, once the capital chain is broken, it may be a situation of total collapse. It's no wonder that people who know that he plays like this will be scared.
In September, the crew was divided into two, one part was handed over to Yu Kanping to direct, Wu Cheng was responsible for one, and some big scenes were scheduled by the two together.
In fact, in Yu Kanping's opinion, when filming a big scene, he was stealing a teacher. Although Wu Cheng is not very old, he is not nervous at all in the scheduling of this big scene.
What he didn't know was that Wu Cheng actually couldn't help it, because he was almost the soul of the entire crew, if he didn't have self-confidence, how could other people work?
"How is the venue arranged?" Wu Cheng looked at Yu Kanping and asked.
The whole play can be said to be the treasure island version of the song and dance film, and the most important thing is naturally the interpretation of these songs, speaking of which, this can be regarded as a very big scene.
Wu Cheng didn't know how the scene was filmed when people filmed this drama, but he didn't want to be sloppy and didn't want to borrow other concerts to shoot, so he had to set it up himself.
Deng Lijun, who was just busy with the announcement and was about to rest, was brought to a series to hold a large-scale comprehensive concert directly, and the ticket income of the concert, except for a certain expense, was directly invested in the 'Angel Charity Fund'.
The Angel Charity Foundation was founded by Deng Lijun, Lin Qingxia, and Zhao Yazhi. Although it is not very famous, it has helped many people.
Of course, they are almost just a name, and this time, it is time for them to make a collective appearance. To this end, Wu Cheng also invited many people, such as Jiang Sangongzi, such as the executives of several major film companies and TV stations. There are also many singers on the treasure island who are willing to come to cheer.
It can be said that this concert directly cost Wu Cheng nearly half of his total investment.
"Xiao Cheng, let's drink saliva first!"
Zhao Yazhi also came from Xiangjiang, and the "Book of Swords and Enmity" over there has been completed, and Zhao Yazhi can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at her thin face, Wu Cheng was distressed.
He knew that Zhao Yazhi wouldn't stay much in Baodao, because the wireless side had already set up the 'Huiming' project, and a week later, Zhao Yazhi had to go back to the wireless to report.
However, compared with the scenes in "Book Sword", Zhao Yazhi's roles in "Huiming" are much less. After all, she is not the only heroine in the play "Hui Ming".
In addition to the two roles of Han Youniang and Cheng Qiyun, three other roles are retained, one is the role of the princess, the other is the role of the red lady, and finally the role of the mixed-race Adney, because these roles are very helpful to the protagonist.
In this way, although the role of Han Youniang is the heroine, there are not many scenes.
Wu took a sip of water, took a sip, and said, "Sister Zhi, as the founder of the Angel Fund, you are going to perform on stage at night, are you ready?"
Zhao Yazhi smiled bitterly when she heard this, and said, "I don't sing well, why did you ask me to go on stage?"
Zhao Yazhi is obviously not confident in this regard, unlike in later generations, when she sang "Shanghai Tang" on stage. In fact, speaking of this, Wu Cheng wanted to complain, because in later generations, Zhao Yazhi came to power either "Shanghai Tang" or "Waiting for a Thousand Years", which really made people unhappy.
But there's no way around it, after all, she doesn't play music.
But this time, Wu Cheng will not ask her to sing the theme song of "Shanghai Tang" again, not to mention that the drama "Shanghai Tang" has not yet started filming, even if it is filmed, Wu Cheng will not ask her to sing this song all the time.
What Wu Cheng is going to let her sing is "I Only Care About You". Although this song has always been sung by Deng Lijun before, the copyright of this song is Wu Cheng's own, and this song was also given to Zhao Yazhi by Wu Cheng, and now she sings it for herself, which is even better.
Although she is inferior to Deng Lijun in terms of singing skills, what is the problem? As long as she can interpret the emotions in it, it is completely enough.
And Lin Qingxia sang a lot on the stage, although in the movie, Lin Qingxia's original voice will not be used, but this is the scene, and Lin Qingxia needs to sing it herself.
Like "The Same Moonlight", "If the Wine Sells Nothing", "Whether", etc.
Although Lin Qingxia's singing skills are not good, in fact, everyone on the scene is playing with the atmosphere, as long as the atmosphere is up, it doesn't matter what you sing. Wu Cheng is confident that with his 'creativity', he can push the atmosphere of the scene to one high or climax after another, as long as he is willing.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Yu Kanping gestured to Wu Cheng and said, "Director Wu, it's ready!"
"OK! The concert has officially started, Sister Xiaoyan, it's up to you!"
Wu Chengchao came to guest host Zhang Xiaoyan smiled and said.
