Chapter Twenty-Six: The Beginning

The next day, various entertainment weeklies in Xiangjiang were freshly released.

The headline on the front page of China Entertainment Weekly: "Since Shao Tycoon became the largest shareholder of TVB, Shaw Brothers Pictures began to reduce production. Produced by Shaw Brothers Pictures, "The Ghost Blows the Lantern: The Ancient City" started shooting yesterday, and the film starred all the rookie actors, and the film was directed by an unknown 19-year-old director, which makes us wonder if a generation of film empires is about to reach the end of the day. ”

Yinghua Entertainment Weekly: "A group of actors who don't know who, a baby director who has never directed a movie, plus a story that I don't know, this is the new movie that Shaw Brothers Pictures is vigorously promoting, are we crazy, or is Tycoon Shao crazy?"

Xiangjiang Entertainment Weekly: "The film adapted from the ghost blowing lantern "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" has been officially launched yesterday, the play is starring Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xingchi, who have just graduated from the tenth phase of the wireless training class, and the director of this film is the author of the ghost blowing lantern Wang Zheng, who also graduated from the tenth phase of this year's wireless class. Shaw Brothers' bold use of newcomers may be a new attempt, and the industry is questioning, we will wait and see what the quality of this film is. ”

……

In Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Wang Zheng was holding these entertainment weeklies in his hands, feeling a little unhappy, and several leading actors such as Zhou Xingchi also looked at him with righteous indignation.

"Aren't you very idle, why do you buy this kind of nonsense weekly. ”

"I can't bear it anymore when they say it's useless. Da Fei said with an unhappy face.

"If you want to be a star, this kind of right and wrong commentary will accompany you for the rest of your life in the future, so you should be mentally prepared in advance. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Zheng decided to give them a good science about their troubles after becoming famous.

"That's not nonsense. Da Fei has never been so ridiculed and seems very angry, and Zhou Xingchi and others also feel the same way.

"What is this, when you really become famous and become a big star, some unscrupulous media will often report that you died in a car accident while filming in a certain place, or died of a certain disease, and create these fake news to attract the audience's attention, which will be common in the future. ”

Zhou Xingchi, Da Fei and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this, and Guan Zhilin on the side also couldn't believe it, Wang Zheng felt the need to prepare them mentally.

"I can't believe it, I can't believe it when I saw it for the first time. ”

When Wang Zheng was surfing the Internet at home in his later life, he was also shocked when he saw China's largest Internet pop-up message "Zhou Jielun died in a car accident", and then clicked on the webpage to know that it was a damn advertisement. Busy changing the subject:

"There are many things you can't believe, such as Miss Guan, try not to get close to the window when you change clothes at home in the future, maybe there are paparazzi holding a telephoto camera aimed at your window, and remember that the curtains at home will also have to be thicker in the future, because the camera in the paparazzi's hand may be a military lens, and too thin curtains may not be able to block it. ”

Guan Zhilin usually looks calm, and his face is pale after listening to Wang Zheng's words.

"This is all your troubles after you become famous, telling it to you is to let you have a psychological preparation and prevention, nonsense like this kind of entertainment weekly is nothing, the most perverted is the paparazzi running to your house to install cameras and bugs. Of course, this is a minority, but we have to guard against it. ”

Wang Zheng is not scaring them, there have been several such paparazzi in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry in later generations, and they have ignored the law for money.

After listening to Wang Zheng's words, everyone was a little distracted, and they hadn't been able to understand the troubles after becoming famous.

"Don't be stunned, when you become a big star, there will be paparazzi following you. Now you're all actors who no one knows, don't say it, it's quite apt, now go to put on makeup, and filming is about to start. Wang Zheng was also afraid that he would scare them by saying too much, so he hurriedly prepared to start the machine.

……

The story has come to Wang Kaixuan, played by Da Fei, received Hu Bayi played by Liang Chaowei at the station, the two are good friends, and the friendship of reuniting after a long absence is very well played.

The second scene is in the teahouse that was started yesterday, when the big gold tooth played by Zhou Xingchi sold the snuff bottle very proudly, it happened to be seen by the two people who came to the teahouse to eat, Wang Kaixuan knew that he had been deceived, the big gold tooth used a low price to fool away his ancestral jade pendant not long ago, and there was a conflict in order to get back the jade pendant.

The three of them are good friends and usually train together. So the acting is good, the expression is also in place, and this scene has passed a few times.

Wang Zheng has modified some details to facilitate the actor's play, for example, the big golden tooth played by Zhou Xingchi will go to the desert with the archaeological team, Wang Zheng added a skill to the big golden tooth, because the big golden tooth has learned the business of fighting with his father since he was a child, so he knows some ghost cave literature.

In the third scene, the big golden tooth tells the two that a Chinese American woman has funded a Chinese archaeological team, and they will go to the Xinjiang desert to find the exquisite ancient city that has disappeared into history, and the father of the Chinese American Shirley Yang disappeared in search of this ancient city and never returned.

She needs the archaeological team to find the exquisite ancient city and bring back her father's bones there, and the archaeological team is short of masters who can find the Jinding cave.

Hu Bayi felt that he had an obligation to take care of the orphans of his dead comrades, he needed money, and the archaeological team paid him 20,000 US dollars, so he went to Professor Chen with the big golden tooth.

In a retro building in Shaw Brothers Studios, people from various departments have gathered, and the lighting props have been equipped, and today's scene is very important. All the leading actors gathered together, Wang Zheng was talking to each of them, and Du Qifeng was explaining their waiting positions.

This set of shots will start shooting immediately, Wang Zheng will also play a student of Professor Chen, and the camera will be controlled by Johnny To.

β€œAction。 ”

The door was pushed open, Zhou Xingchi took Liang Chaowei and Da Fei into the house, the two people sitting at the table in the hall looked up, Liu Dehao, who played Hao Aiguo, was wearing a Mao suit, pushed the glasses on his nose and stood up, while Wang Zheng, who played the student, sat still and did not move.

Liu Dehao glanced at the three of them seriously, and said without waiting for the three of them to speak:

"I already know the purpose of the three friends, I think you all know the requirements of our archaeological team, what we need is talents, do you have the ability to explore and survive in the desert, or do you know the feng shui of the stars? If you don't have this ability, we won't go through the back door, and anyone's face is useless. ”

The three of them were very embarrassed by Liu Dehao's direct words.

"Patriotic, you are so rude, don't be like me, an elm student. ”

Professor Chen, played by Shi Tian, walked out of the inner room, followed by Guan Zhilin, who played Shirley Yang.

"Cards. I only heard Du Qifeng shout.

Everyone took off their expressions just now, Wang Zheng walked behind the monitor to watch the playback, Du Qifeng nodded to him, Wang Zheng said loudly: "This is over, prepare for the next shot." ”
