Chapter 114: Treasure Island Filming (Part I)
Huang Zhan is worthy of being one of the four talents of Xiangjiang, Wang Zheng doesn't know how much time he spent writing lyrics for this song in his last life, but now it is instantaneous, although he only wrote the climax, but this also makes Wang Zheng quite admired.
With the tone and lyrics of the climax, Wang Zheng handed over the theme song to Leung Jiahui and Huang Zhan, and he returned to the set to continue the filming of "The True Color of Heroes".
The location of the Kowloon Police Station is just close to the Kowloon Pier, and the sea breeze is very strong, and the crew wasted half a day of strength to finish filming the exterior shots of Dillon and Zhang Guorong saying goodbye, but in the close-up shots of the two, the hairstyles are swaying in the wind, and it looks like there is no image at all, but this is more real, and Wang Zheng has not modified it too much.
"Brother Rong, tomorrow the crew will go to Taipei for filming, you can take advantage of the free time in the past few days to practice the theme song of this play, record it early for the audience to listen, and you can also warm up for our play!"
When the crew was cleaning up the machinery and equipment, Wang Zheng suggested to Zhang Guorong.
"Don't worry, when you come back from Treasure Island, I will definitely have recorded it!"
Since the song "Why Should We Ever Meet" add a lot of popularity to Zhang Guorong, he is very much looking forward to the songs created by Wang Zheng, especially this kind of song with a story background, which makes it easier for him to invest in his feelings, and I believe that the effect recorded by then will be extraordinary.
Although the treasure island is 800 kilometers away from the Xiangjiang River, the two cities are not strangers to each other, the trade is quite frequent, relatively, the procedures for entering each other are also very simple, this time there are not many people who follow Wang Zheng to the treasure island, in addition to the second director Wu Yusen and Dillon, Li Zixiong two leading actors, there is only Pan Hengsheng, the camera director.
The reason why there is no staff and camera equipment is because Shaw Brothers also has a branch in Treasure Island, and the personnel and equipment needed are here.
After a short flight, Wang Zheng and his entourage of five people landed safely at Taipei Taoyuan Airport, and when they left the airport, Ma Fangqi, the manager of Shaw Brothers in Baodao, had been waiting for a long time.
"Director Wang, I've heard of a big name for a long time, and when I see it today, I'm really younger than I rumored!"
As soon as he got out of the airport, Ma Fangxian held Wang Zheng's hand for a long time, and his attitude was too enthusiastic.
Since winning the Academy Award for Best Director, Wang Zheng has long adapted to these warm greetings, and he doesn't care about the authenticity of them, he quietly withdrew his hand and said with a light smile: "Manager Ma is too enthusiastic, you have made a lot of contributions to the company's expansion over the years, compared to you, my reputation is nothing!"
Ma Fangqi laughed when he heard this: "Director Wang is not only talented, but also eloquent, I have done my duty all these years, what credit is it!"
It was really boring to praise each other at the airport gate, and after Wang Zheng introduced a few people to him, he stopped this boring greeting.
Seeing that Wang Zheng was very indifferent, he smiled and said: "Director Wang, follow me in the car, I have set up a reception banquet for you, just to introduce you to a person of the Treasure Island!"
Wang Zheng didn't want to participate in any Raushzi reception banquet, he just wanted to determine the location as soon as possible, so that he could return to Xiangjiang after filming as soon as possible, but it was not good to lose Ma Fang's face, so he had to follow.
When the group drove to a Japanese restaurant on Yongkang Street in Taipei, the sun in the sky was already in the west, and the lights on Yongkang Street had already begun to be bright.
Led by a kimono-clad waiter, the group arrived at the reserved private room, where a man and a woman sat on the tatami mats, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Xiong, you came so early, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting!"
As soon as he entered the private room, Ma Fangji smiled and apologized to the man in it.
The man laughed and said, "No need to be sorry, as long as there is wine, I will come earlier than anyone else!"
Ma Fangxian laughed a few times before introducing Wang Zheng: "Director Wang, this is Mr. Xiong Yaoxiong!"
Wang Zheng heard that he looked at a man and a woman on the tatami mat, and was a little surprised at a glance, and he was directly skipped by the round-faced man who had no impression of it, but the other woman was very familiar, to be precise, it was Wang Guxian, who is only 17 years old now, although she was only 17 years old, but her appearance was already beautiful and refined, when Wang Zheng looked at her, the latter was also looking at him curiously with a pair of big watery eyes.
According to the historical trajectory, Wang Guxian will join Shaw Brothers this year, no wonder Ma Fangxian invited her over.
Ma Fang saw that Wang Zheng only looked at Wang Guxian, but he ignored Xiong Yaohao, and had to reintroduce him: "Director Wang, you may not have heard of Mr. Xiong's real name, but you must have heard of his pen name!"
"Oh?"
"Mr. Xiong's pen name is Gu Long!"
"What?
Wang Zheng's surprise is not trivial, I didn't expect that the middle-aged man in front of him who is not good-looking is Gu Long, although he is a reborn person, but he really doesn't know Gu Long's real name, and Gu Long rarely takes pictures in later generations, and Wang Zheng is not familiar with his appearance.
"It turned out to be Mr. Gu Long in person, but Xiao Ke Wang Zheng has eyes that don't know Mount Tai, and he doesn't know the true face of Mr. Gu's Lushan. The faux pas is Mr. Gu Haihan!"
"You are Wang Zheng?"
Gu Long glanced at Wang Zheng lightly and asked.
"Xiao Ke exactly, Mr. Gu knows me?"
Wang Zheng was a little curious, and it was an honor to be known by this big coffee.
"I don't know, but I heard Mr. Cha mention it. ”
Gu Long said a few polite words and didn't say more, but concentrated on tasting the sake of the Wa Kingdom in front of him, as if the sake was more attractive than Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng didn't care much about Gu Long's indifference, literati all had such and such stinky problems, and when he first saw Jin Yong, his old man's light temperament was also unbearable.
Seeing that the scene was a little cold, Ma Fangxian continued to introduce: "Director Wang, this is Miss Wang Guxian Wang, I have recommended Miss Wang to the company, Manager Fang Yihua is very satisfied with Miss Wang's talents in all aspects, and has been negotiating contract issues with Miss Wang's current Gundam company, I think it won't be long before Miss Wang will join our Shaw Brothers!"
Wang Zheng smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, Miss Wang and I are still our own family, welcome Miss Wang to join Shaw Brothers, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you!"
"I also look forward to cooperating with Director Wang, and I will ask Director Wang to take care of me when the time comes!"
Wang Guxian smiled and behaved generously.
In later generations, Wang Zheng heard that Wang Guxian had a straightforward temperament, and he almost became a basketball player when he was studying.
After that, Wang Zheng introduced Wu Yusen and others to the two, and Wang Guxian greeted them one by one generously and cheerfully.
As for Gu Long, he didn't have such a good temperament, and he just nodded slightly to Wu Yusen and Dillon, who don't have a reputation now, and then started to deal with sake again, acting like he loved wine as if he loved wine.
Gu Long is cold to the best director Wang Zheng, compared with Wu Yusen, Wu Yusen and the others are more indifferent, after introducing each other, several people either knelt or sat on the tatami mats and started this cooking banquet.
