Chapter 75: The Movie Is Finished (Ask for Recommendation Votes!)

Polygram Records, in this era, was one of the largest record labels in the world.

In Hong Kong, PolyGram has also signed most of the big singers, dominating the Hong Kong record industry with an absolute advantage.

It wasn't until 82 years later that Huaxing Records, with the strong support of TVB TV, held a "Rookie Singing Contest" to discover a large number of cutting-edge singers.

In the mid-80s and 90s, when Huaxing Records became a symbol of the Hong Kong record industry, Polygram's influence in Hong Kong gradually declined.

However, in this era, an international record giant like PolyGram still controls Hong Kong's record industry, and the vast majority of Hong Kong's musical talents are from PolyGram.

"God of Songs" Xu Guanjie has signed a contract with Polygram since the 70s, and has become PolyGram's biggest singer in Asia!

In the Hong Kong Polygram branch, Xu Guanjie's qualifications and prestige are quite high.

Because, on a whim, Zhang Shaojie wrote a song "Demon Girl" for Anita Mui, and this song needs to be recorded by a professional recording studio to achieve the best effect.

With Xu Guanjie's relationship, Zhang Shaojie and Anita Mui first came to the recording studio of "Polygram" Records, and with the assistance of Polygram's music production talents, "The Demon Girl" was recorded to a record-level sound effect!

in the studio.

The more Anita Mui sings, the more she enters the state:

The enchantress crossed her waist and looked sideways at the badboy

The mouth that can interfere with the mind is slightly open

The demon girl crossed her waist and looked sideways at the badboy

The spark at the waist vaporizes every deep sea

eonbadboy

I didn't look at you

eonbadboy

You can have the courage to make tonight more exciting."

As the last note fell, Zhang Shaojie was the first to applaud.

In the recording studio, everyone who played musical instruments also paid tribute to Anita Mui, a female singer with a unique singing style!

"Good! Good work, done, call it a day! Xu Guanjie said.

"Congratulations, Anita Mui! Your boyfriend is so amazing that he actually came up with such a song that can play to the strengths of your voice! Xu Guanjie smiled.

"Brother Guanjie, thanks to your guidance. I am a song from the grass stage team, far inferior to the singer from your professional class! Anita Mui smiled.

"What a god of songs, that's the record company! There's a lot of publicity, as if I'm really a god! Xu Guanjie said self-deprecatingly.

Zhang Shaojie said with a smile: "In this world, it all depends on blowing first and then praising it!" If you don't blow it first, how will anyone know about you? There are really fans who agree, so I can hold it! Brother Guanjie, you have been popular for so many years, but it is not just a fluke that can be described as a fluke, right? ”

Xu Guanjie smiled bitterly: "How can you be popular, I only sold 350,000 records in the entire Asian market." You are really good, the sales of an episode of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" exceeded 500,000 copies, right? I sing, and I produce two or three records a year, which is already prolific. Your book sells one episode every two weeks, 25 episodes a year, and compared to the income, you will probably be ten times as much as mine by the end of the year! Hong Kong's beautiful star, can he be more popular than you Zhang Shaojie? ”

Zhang Shaojie has been busy for so many days, but he really didn't carefully calculate how much money he can make in a year. Hearing Xu Guanjie's explanation, Zhang Shaojie himself couldn't help but be stunned!

However, in a blink of an eye, Zhang Shaojie smiled: "You can't say that!" I'm just writing books! Readers like my books, but they don't necessarily like me as a person. You big stars are different! Fans, not only love your songs, like your movies, but also follow your people! Therefore, businessmen can be willing to pay for advertising for you! However, I, a book writer, can I earn advertising endorsements in a year? ”

Anita Mui leaned back in front of the auditor's laughter and said, "You two are shameless, don't praise each other!" One said, "You are a cow," and the other said, "You are better than me!" It's really meaty! ”

Zhang Shaojie and Xu Guanjie exchanged glances and stopped the topic awkwardly.

Not long after, Zhang Shaojie and Anita Mui returned to the set first, and as for Xu Guanjie, they still have their own songs to record!

Xu Guanjie was known as the "God of Songs" in this era, but Xu Guanjie's success was not unrelated to his eldest brother Xu Guanwen.

You're welcome, Xu Guanjie relied on Xu Guanwen's movies to drive his record sales!

When the three movies "Ghost Horse Double Star", "Genius and Idiot", and "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" became popular in Asia, Xu Guanjie also released his record of the same name!

With the popularity of these movies, the records naturally sold very well!

Among them, the record of the same name of "Ghost Horse Double Star" sold 150,000 copies, "Genius and Idiot" sold 200,000 copies, and the record of the same name of "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" sold 350,000 copies!

Such amazing record sales have pushed Xu Guanjie to the level of a music superstar.

From the movie record of the same name, Xu Guanjie, who has tasted the sweetness many times.

"Modern Bodyguard" is in intense production, and Xu Guanjie will naturally make his record of the same name before the movie is released

____________

The afternoon sun is very scorching.

But the Golden Harvest crew still didn't have a holiday.

More than a dozen runners were gathered together. Xu Guanwen explained: "Wait a while, you will follow the movements rehearsed before, use sticks, surround me, and fight with me." I was driven in front of a sloping wall and found a pair of tools that could crawl to the wall. As for you, because you don't have the tools to climb the wall, you are scolding down there. Then, I got carried away, the wall-climbing tool went wrong, I slid down the smooth slope again, and I was beaten by you, this play, that's it, Shaojie, do you have any suggestions to add? ”

Zhang Shaojie thought for a while and said: "There is one step missing, it should be, the company sent you to investigate the cause of the theft on the ship." You take a group of subordinates to investigate. After you entered the barbed wire gate, your subordinates took advantage of your inattention and closed the iron gate. So, after you failed in your attempt to escape, you fought with the unscrupulous shipyard bully workers."

Xu Guanwen thought about it for a while, and thought of Zhou Shichang in the play, the surname of the fox and the fake tiger, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to fight with a group of bullies single-handedly.

It is more reasonable to be framed by a subordinate.

However, the words framed by the subordinates are too unreasonable and a bit abrupt, after all, they are carrying out the tasks assigned by the company in the play.

Therefore, Xu Guanwen thought: "It's not reasonable for subordinates to close the iron door and frame their bosses directly!" It's not as good as this, the employees of the shipyard close the door regularly, and Zhou Shichang's subordinates will not save them when they see death. knew that the group of bullies inside was a vicious thug, but he still didn't stop the shipyard workers from closing the door Zhou Shichang, who was trapped inside the door, fighting with a group of people, and going out to the sea"

Zhang Shaojie took a sip of tea, thought about it, and felt that the part that was omitted from the original script began to seem reasonable with Xu Guanwen's addition.

"Brother Guanwen, good! In this way, the funny plot can be retained, and the logic can stand up to scrutiny. It should work! Zhang Shaojie said.

Xu Guanwen listened, felt that it was true, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll start!" Now you stand in the director's point of view, observe us, and if the shooting is not good, we have to cut! ”

Zhang Shaojie nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Guanwen!" ”

Although Xu Guanwen can direct and act by himself.

However, if he is too involved in acting, he will inevitably forget that he is the director, and at this time, he needs to be a bystander to correct some obvious mistakes.

If a director already has his own style, Xu Guanwen doesn't dare to use it.

However, Zhang Shaojie is a rookie assistant director and will only follow the rules to implement the plan, which makes Xu Guanwen very relieved.

In fact, the cooperation between Xu Jiaban and his gang is quite tacit, except for Xu Guanwen himself who stopped and remade some parts, most of the scenes were passed by the surname once!

The whole script has a total of 90 minutes of play. According to the current progress, at least more than ten minutes of filming has been completed.

Such a speed, although Zhang Shaojie does not feel slow.

However, Xu Guanwen was still not satisfied.

At his request, in the next few days, it seems to be soaring!

Soon, the Anita Mui version of Ah Zhen was photographed.

In this paragraph, Zhang Shaojie suddenly felt a headache!

The script has been changed, but the plot set for Anita Mui has deviated from the original drama. Therefore, Zhang Shaojie seemed a little out of shape beside him.

None of the directing skills he learned from Xu Guanwen seem to be useful.

Xu Guanwen was ruthless, and scolded Zhang Shaojie a few words: "Is it because she is your girlfriend, she is not called cut!" Damn, a little more manhood, the whole process, everyone filmed smoothly, and when it came to her performance, it was a bit bad, which slowed down the progress of the entire crew! Do you know how much loss it will bring to the company if the progress is slow? ”

Anita Mui was scolded and secretly cried.

Zhang Shaojie didn't dare to say much.

However, I also cheered up and fought for a good performance.

Of course, when he went home at night and before leaving for the crew in the early morning, Zhang Shaojie and Anita Mui rehearsed the upcoming part in advance.

Anita Mui plays Ah Zhen, and Zhang Shaojie cooperates with rusty cooperation, playing the part of Deng Xiaolong.

Such efforts have made Anita Mui progress rapidly. When it comes to the crew, when it is officially performed, it can be passed by shooting three or four times at most.

Xu Guanwen is not an unreasonable person.

After seeing Anita Mui's rapid progress in the past few days, the part she played is also remarkable.

Especially the song "Demon Girl" can add a little popularity to the movie, so I occasionally praise Anita Mui.

At this time, Anita Mui's acting skills also increased, and Zhang Shaojie began to breathe a sigh of relief.

――――――――

The movie was shot faster than expected!

In mid-May, it was finished, and only post-production remained.

Xu Guanwen was happier to be able to complete the pre-production of the movie, so he paid out of his own pocket and invited the entire crew of more than 200 people to the hotel to charter a venue and have a big meal!

"Shaojie, this drama has basically been filmed! Although you are a new hand, the speed of progress and the high level of understanding are really admirable! I take the liberty to ask, are you interested in doing movies, if you are interested, you can do it in Golden Harvest! Now as a screenwriter and assistant director, after a few movies, you can become a director! Xu Guanwen invited.

Zhang Shaojie said with a smile: "Brother Guanwen has a good intention!" During this time, although I learned a lot of things, I was very relaxed when I was writing novels, but when I was making movies, I was like a goose with a dull head, tired and half dead! For the time being, I can't bear the hardships, or go and become a writer! ”

Xu Guanwen was stunned for a moment, and soon smiled bitterly: "That's right!" You can make more money as a writer than a great director! ”

Zhang Shaojie explained: "It's not just because of money"

Xu Guanwen said: "Forget it, the writing is also very good. If you become a director, it may be a blessing for movie fans, but those readers of yours are going to scold me to death! By the way, you'll continue to write scripts in the future, right? ”

Zhang Shaojie said: "The script can still be written! ”

"Then we look forward to working together in the future!" Xu Guanwen smiled, "I have confidence in your script!" ”

After a month and a half of cooperation, Zhang Shaojie and Xu Guanwen have a bit of sympathy.

Zhang Shaojie admires Xu Guanwen's mastery of the film industry, and Xu Guanwen doesn't admire Zhang Shaojie's talent and talent in the novel and screenwriting industries!
