Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition, in order to celebrate the Olympics and the update of this book, tomorrow night at 10 o'clock in the red envelope area of this book, I will send a few red envelopes, a small meaning, not a respect! )
The original dream.
After Cheng Weiliang and Xu Xiaoming discussed things in the office, they began to gather the crew and prepare to go.
"German BMW? This is the car dealer sponsorship for you and the crew?" Mei Xiaoqing wanted to follow the car, she and the actors got into the bus, Xu Xiaoming saw Cheng Weiliang's high-end car in the garage today, and couldn't help but praise. Cheng Weiliang nodded with a smile.
Everyone took a car and a company bus, with a whole load of photography, lighting, props and other equipment and equipment, and drove to the campus of Hong Kong University on Pok Fu Lam Road, Hong Kong Island, where the start-up worship ceremony was held at 10 o'clock this morning.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, the convoy drove from the ATV building on Broadcasting Road in Kowloon Tong in northern Kowloon to the main island of Hong Kong, which is separated by Victoria Bay.
Cheng Weiliang was carefully driving the high-end business sedan handed over to him by the sales manager of BMW's Xiangjiang branch last night, and he didn't dare to let go of his hand and speed to his heart's content. He only got his Xiangjiang driver's license a month ago, and the damn Xiangjiang driving rules are to drive on the left, which is different from the right driving in the mainland and most countries, which makes him quite unaccustomed to driving. Therefore, although he has not driven for a long time since he came to Xiangjiang, and his hands have already been itchy, he still has to drive this high-end car with good performance.
"This high-end car is comfortable to sit on! The seats are soft and there is a lot of space. How many years will I have to save to buy a car like this?" Mai Cui, a newcomer to ATV with a very lively temperament, sat in the back seat of the car, and she said excitedly while jokingly tossing her butt up and down in the soft seat.
Guan Zhilin pursed his lips and moved his ass out in disgust, not wanting to get too close to the babbling yellow-haired girl next to him.
"Xiao Cui, this car is so expensive! It is estimated that it will cost two or three hundred thousand, right? Our salary of two or three thousand a month is too far away!" Yuan Qiongshan also touched the seat under him, looking yearning and sighing. Yuan Qiongshan was not yet 20 years old at this time, she had just graduated from the training class, and ATV didn't pay much attention to her, at this time, Yuan Qiongshan couldn't imagine that one day she would become the king of comedy Stephen Chow's golden supporting role in the blockbuster movie, remembered by tens of millions of viewers in the mainland, with unlimited scenery!
"Sisters, it doesn't matter if you don't have a car, don't you still have a company to give us a car for free? Free cars are the best!" Zeng Huaqian personally accompanied Cheng Weiliang to negotiate with BMW, watching her sisters talk about this BMW company-sponsored car for the crew, she sat in the passenger seat and turned her head, and smiled slightly proudly. In addition to accompanying Cheng Weiliang to meet the sponsor in the first two days, Zeng Huaqian has been staying at ATV and receiving acting training with other new actors in the crew.
"Hmph, it's all good, it's better to have it yourself!" Mai Cui muttered and snorted. "Dandan, you also have to be ambitious, if you don't have confidence, how will you be a big star in the future?"
Although Mai Cuixian is also a newcomer who has just graduated from ATV, she is much stronger than Yuan Qiongshan in the same class, and the station will focus on cultivating her as a new generation of Xiaohuadan. She was also arranged by ATV to participate in the 30-episode costume highlight "Girl Cixi" produced by senior producer Li Zhaohua at the end of the year. This is a rare costume historical drama with a huge investment in ATV over the years, and the whole Taiwan attaches great importance to it, ATV regards it as another masterpiece of TVB's counterattack after this year's "Walk to Tiger Mountain Again", it is reported that the high-level intends to use this drama to fight TVB's Taiwan celebration drama in November, Jin Yong's martial arts "Condor Heroes" starring Liu Dehua and Chen Yulian.
Mai Cuixian was able to participate in this costume drama as soon as she graduated, and she was proud of her for a while, and swept away the sullenness of the failure of the heroine of "Meteor Garden" in the audition a few days ago. When she saw her classmates, there was always some pride in her unconscious tone. Who made this and last graduates, some of them still play tricks now?
Li Saifeng, who was also sitting outside, was facing Zeng Huaqian, who was the co-pilot in front, and she looked at the scenery outside the car window without saying a word, not interested in participating in this boring discussion.
Li Saifeng secretly looked at Cheng Weiliang, who was driving the car without squinting, and thought: A big star like him, he doesn't have to buy it himself, there will be a company that will automatically send the car to the door for him to drive for free, right?
Thinking about it, Li Saifeng came up with a god, she seemed to see that one day she would also get the same scenery as Cheng Weiliang yesterday when he received thunderous applause from the audience! It seems that there is also a boy like Prince Charming, playing the guitar and singing love songs for her, and they stand together in the center of the stage to accept the envious eyes of everyone in the Great Hall!
"Hey, Saifeng, what about you, speak!" Mai Cuixian next to him crossed Yuan Qiongdan, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Li Saifeng's eyes a few times, and Li Saifeng woke up from his short fantasy.
Li Saifeng blushed, not knowing what Mai Cuixian asked just now, so he could only vaguely conceal it: "What are you doing with this crazy girl? I don't want to answer you." ”
Mai Cui smiled at her with a teasing look.
Listening to the laughter of the girls, a smile overflowed from the corner of Cheng Weiliang's mouth. Newcomers who have just debuted, they can still smile carefree now, and when they are immersed in this circle for a year or two, will your smile still be as innocent as it was at the beginning?
I think that when he just graduated from the directing department, he was also full of confidence in himself, looking forward to the day when a popular blockbuster will be born in his hands. It's a pity that the reality has dealt him a heavy blow, maybe the person he accidentally offended when he was a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers is too powerful in the film and television industry, maybe he is not talented enough, and no film and television company is willing to accept him.
For five years, I have been running all over the country with the TV and film crews, and I can only stay at the bottom of the crew, either as a miscellaneous assistant, or as a small supporting role that I don't know what number of men he is, or even a trick! The only thing I begged my grandmother to tell my grandfather for the millions of investments he begged, and other investors still stuffed all kinds of related households into the crew, obviously, other investors didn't look down on him as a little director at all, so they didn't think about making money, they just thought about the addiction of filming!
His mother's serious illness became the last straw that broke the camel's back! He was disheartened and completely bid farewell to the dream he had been fighting for for ten years since he was in middle school! He returned to his hometown and became an ordinary office worker from 9 to 5.
After thousands of years and several lifetimes, some people still remember their original obsessions.
The ideal is immortal, and the truth is forever!
He Cheng Weiliang was reborn in Xiangjiang in the 80s, maybe God gave him another chance to prove himself again!
"What about them? Have they fulfilled their original dreams?" Cheng Weiliang thought secretly with interest as he drove the car, tilting his head to the side of the car and glancing at the girls in the car who were chatting with interest. Of the four women in the car, three of them shined in the Xiangjiang film and television industry in later generations. Except for Mai Cuixian, who hasn't heard much about it, Zeng Huaqian's achievements in film and television works are weak, and Guan Zhilin and Li Saifeng, one is a famous vase with not weak acting skills in the film industry, and the other is a famous female star in action movies!
Zeng Huaqian sat in the passenger seat, she was embarrassed to talk to Cheng Weiliang alone in front of other people in the car, and after Cheng Weiliang drove, she didn't like to participate in the topic of girls' chatter, so Zeng Huaqian had to turn sideways and talk to a few people in the back row.
Just now, she was talking to Mai Cuixian about the style of the clothes used in this drama is very trendy, and she wants to let the tailor customize a set by hand after filming. was talking energetically, Zeng Huaqian suddenly had a feeling that Cheng Weiliang, who had not been very vocal, turned his head sideways and looked at her just now, with a smile on the corner of his mouth?
Zeng Huaqian felt a feeling in her heart, and her palms suddenly sweated slightly. Oh yes, legend has it that many of the clothes in the play were conceived by him and then designed by Lianye Garment, and the one I like should also be designed by him, right? Look at the beauty in his heart, hum!
Zeng Huaqian turned around and sat up straight in her seat. After a while, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Cheng Weiliang's side face, and asked curiously, "Cheng Weiliang, what were you laughing at just now?"
Cheng Weiliang held the steering wheel in his hand and looked ahead, he smiled before turning his head, meeting Zeng Huaqian's gaze on him, and instead of answering her question, he asked: "Zeng Huaqian, what was your original dream of entering the film and television industry?"
"Huh?" Zeng Hua Qian was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Cheng Weiliang suddenly asked her this, but she still thought about it seriously and replied: "University is too difficult to get into! Acting is a profession that looks quite interesting, I think I chose this profession to become a big star like Xiao Fangfang, so that all the citizens of Xiangjiang will like to watch my play! Haha! My ideals are great, right?" In the end, she probably felt that she was talking too much, and laughed self-deprecatingly.
Xiao Fangfang was born as a child star, one of the most popular female stars among the citizens of Xiangjiang in the sixties and seventies, and countless boys and girls worshipped her as an idol!
"Xiao Fangfang, well, your ideal is good! During this time, I have polished my acting skills and played the heroine well, and I will ensure that you have completed half of your ideal!" Cheng Weiliang looked ahead, and after overtaking a slow broken car, he said seriously.
"Which half?"
"It's a bit difficult to make all the people of Xiangjiang like you, so let you pay attention. When "Meteor Garden" rushes out of the Xiangjiang River and goes to Asia, you will be the star of all eyes!" Cheng Weiliang's lips turned up slightly.
"Oh my God!" Zeng Huaqian rolled her eyes, and secretly looked back at the sisters in the back row, she really wanted to rush over and cover Cheng Weiliang's mouth immediately. This person usually looks quite modest, but if he is not careful, he will always come up with one or two arrogant words. He used to mention it to himself in private, but now he openly says it, I don't know what other people think of him? No wonder some newspapers accuse him of being arrogant. Oh, how come men in the world have the problem of bragging? However, it is not good for men to be too humble and too submissive, and it is still very cute to brag and brag occasionally and speak ambitiously!
After thinking so, Zeng Huaqian's heart was also balanced.
"Why, you all think I'm talking big, don't you?" Cheng Weiliang suddenly smiled at the few people in the back row.
"No, no, Director Cheng, you are so talented, our drama must be popular. Mai Cuixian hurriedly waved his hand.
"I ...... I didn't think about it that way. I believe that director Cheng is not that kind of person, you won't. "Yuan Qiongdan's mouth is still relatively stupid now, and she is not as smooth as when she plays Sister Pomegranate in the future.
"The whole script was created by Director Cheng for Xiaoqian's sister, and I don't think I will deceive Xiaoqian. If you say red, then it will be red. Didn't you see that Xiao Qian got the most applause yesterday?" Guan Zhilin smiled faintly, slightly sarcastic. Since she hit a nail in Cheng Weiliang's last interview, she has become a little interested in this young director, and she will pay attention to his demeanor and temperament on weekdays.
mentioned yesterday's press conference, even Li Saifeng and the other two girls all focused their jealous or envious eyes on Zeng Huaqian. Yesterday's appearance of Zeng Huaqian, as well as Cheng Weiliang's foil to her, is so amazing and eye-catching that people can't forget it in a short period of time. Not to mention that when Cheng Weiliang answered reporters, he personally confirmed that the portrayal of the heroine was based on the true original form of Zeng Huaqian. At yesterday's press conference, in addition to Cheng Weiliang, I am afraid that only Zeng Huaqian was the most prominent.
Zeng Huaqian listened to Guan Zhilin's strange tone, and secretly thought that this woman who loves to sell amorous things heard that she was also the heroine of the audition, and she is probably still unwilling now, hmph! Am I afraid of you! She didn't refute it, but thinking of yesterday's moving situation, there was still a trembling feeling in her heart.
Cheng Weiliang smiled, and didn't pay attention to the provocation in Guan Zhilin's words, beauties always have some privileges. For example, when he set off from ATV just now, Guan Zhilin said that the bus was too crowded, so could he hitchhike him? As soon as Guan Zhilin got into the car, Mai Cuixian, who had never dealt well with her, also pulled a few sisters into his car.
A few women in a play, I hope these masters don't make things for him during the filming.
When Cheng Wai-leung arrived at the Pok Fu Lam Campus of HKU, the rest of the crew had already started their work. Those who move props move props, those who put incense cases do incense cases, and those who do conductors do commands. Everything is in order, and it is worthy of an old team with rich filming experience. If it weren't for cooperating with the TV station, even if Cheng Weiliang had money, he would have to go outside to find all kinds of talents to form a new crew, I'm afraid he would have to spend a lot of effort just to coordinate the crew to do things!
As soon as Cheng Weiliang came to the scene, he was invited to the vice principal's office and chatted for half an hour for tea. The University of Hong Kong is the highest university in Hong Kong, and it is thanks to ATV's face to borrow other people's venues for ten and a half months to shoot, and of course, Cheng Weiliang also promised to hire Hong Kong students as extras, give full salaries, and provide Hong Kong students with extracurricular activities and work-study opportunities.
Back at the scene, Cheng Weiliang found that the incense table, roast suckling pig, fruits, etc. for the worship ceremony had been arranged, just waiting for the auspicious time to come. On the other side of the classroom, lighting equipment and camera equipment are at the mercy of intense adjustment, artists are directing the handymen to move, lift, and set up scenes, hairstylists and makeup artists are making up and touching up the makeup for the actors who appeared on the stage today in the dressing room, and the actors who have a role in today's scenes are holding their own part of the line book and muttering to themselves, as if they are memorizing their lines and figuring out the characters.
The once quiet campus, as the auspicious time of opening approached, more and more people flocked to this open space. Cars drove into the campus of the University of Hong Kong, and waves of reporters arrived at the scene of the start-up worship ceremony.
"Mr. Cheng, congratulations! It's good to start!" a young man in a black suit came to the scene surrounded by several people behind him. After passing through the busy crowd and seeing Cheng Weiliang, he strode to congratulate Cheng Weiliang.
Cheng Weiliang was talking to Xu Xiaoming about the filming of the first scene, and when they heard the sound and looked back, it turned out to be Li Naixi, the general manager of TAL Garment, Cheng Weiliang greeted him with a smile and said: "Mr. Li, welcome to our opening ceremony."
