Deng Guangrong is 26 years old this year, handsome and chic, debuted for ten years, it is the rising period of his career, if it weren't for the gimmick of 10 million investment to attract him, plus the not low salary, he would not have been able to come over to shoot a new director's play.

As soon as he finished filming two movies, he was sent by Wang Zijun to the Linkou set, and the ancient city that suddenly appeared really shocked him.

"Mr. Deng, I'm finally looking forward to you." Although Deng Guangrong came a month after filming began, Wang Zijun was not good at showing dissatisfaction.

Deng Guangrong said that in addition to being known as Taiwan's three major literary and artistic students, he is also a Hong Kong bigwig: he and Bruce Lee are close friends; Chow Yun-fat, Liming, Leung Ka-fai, Andy Lau, and Ren Dahua have all been supported by him and played his little brother; He has married Jin Lan with Xie Xian (Nicholas Tse's father), Zhang Chong, Chen Ziqiang, Shen Dianxia, Qin Xianglin, and Chen Haoyi; also slapped Cheng Xiaodong's father in public, and the latter had to thank him for giving him a chance; Even Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai were cultivated by him...... Such characters, if they get along well, when they go to Hong Kong to make a film in the future, they will say hello and the actors will be all together, and they are all big names.

Although Deng Guangrong is popular at the moment, he is still just a popular student, he said apologetically: "I'm really embarrassed, I can't leave if the play is not finished, and I came a little late." ”

"It's okay, just stagger the trick." Wang Zijun said a few words, and then pulled him to start talking. Deng Guangrong's role is mainly in the battle of the city gate, and he is the soul of this section, and he was finally poisoned to death by the army.

Deng Guangrong changed into a military uniform, the makeup artist made his face old and black, and then a special veteran taught him how to hold a gun, shoot, and how to hide behind the fortifications.

"What a professional!" An hour later, Deng Guangrong couldn't help but sigh that compared to this, the battle scenes in the previous movies were like children playing at home.

Ke Shouliang smiled: "Isn't it? Yesterday's explosion splashed a real pebble and smashed my forehead. ”

"And the explosion?" Deng Guangrong asked incredulously.

Wang Zijun smiled and told him the basic knowledge about the explosion point, and Deng Guangrong really realized that the background behind Wang Zijun was not simple. In this era, even fireworks are prohibited, only some gang members can get homemade explosives and guns, and tons of explosives must be purchased from the army during filming, and they have to go through layers of review, which is impossible for ordinary directors to do.

This is also the helplessness of the Taiwanese film industry, which can't even get the explosion scene, so it can only make a small fuss. In the complete film industry system, the classification of movies is very diverse, for example, Hong Kong has a series of genres such as police and bandits, comedy, gambling, martial arts, history, Fengyue, literature and art, horror and so on, but what about Taiwan? The deformed prosperity allows directors to make money as long as they make money, and over time, martial arts films, romance films, and literary films with the smallest cost and easy production have become the mainstream. Until the audience was tired of watching local films, Hong Kong films suddenly rose and occupied the Taiwan film market in one fell swoop. And Taiwan has also become a dumping ground for Hong Kong films, which has indirectly promoted the prosperity of Hong Kong films.

Wang Zijun's purpose is to raise the audience's appetite and make other directors have to spend time making movies seriously.

Deng Guangrong has been acting for ten years, and his surname is very high, Wang Zijun only said a few requests, and he threw away all the stage flavor on his body, almost all of them once.

After the shooting, Wang Zijun said with a smile: "It's really easy to work with you, and I save a lot of film." Do you want to go for a drink tonight? ”

Deng Guangrong shook his head and said: "I am also very happy, today's harvest is not small." But even if you drink, we have to film tomorrow, and when it's over, we won't get drunk and won't return. ”

"That's settled." Wang Zijun made up his mind to befriend this person, because Deng Guangrong is very temperamental to him, that is, bold and generous, and because of this kind of surname, Deng Guangrong will be able to give him face in both black and white in Hong Kong in the future.

"Definitely!" After Deng Guangrong finished speaking, he dragged his tired body back to sleep, he has been filming since the Spring Festival, and he can only sleep for a few hours a day.

Wang Zijun is also tired enough these days, reaching out to get his coat, but Ke Shouliang took the first step and said with a smile: "Brother Jun, I'll help you get it, don't be too tired." ”

Wang Zijun was stunned, this is the little black brother who values righteousness and ignores money? Why do you look like a dog-legged follower?

"You kid, put your mind to good use of filming." Wang Zijun scolded with a smile and took his coat and put it on.

Ke Shouliang smiled awkwardly and followed behind Wang Zijun.

Lin Fengjiao and Zhao Yazhi's roles have long been completed, but now they are all contracted actors of Wang's Film Company, and when the company has no other business, they temporarily stay in the crew to help, and by the way, they have more contact with acting.

Lin Fengjiao works hard, and many jobs that are not her are rushed to do, which is quite liked by the rest of the crew. And Zhao Yazhi is doing her part, usually observing other people's acting, and occasionally making some small pranks to mediate the atmosphere.

It's just that since Wang Zijun kissed her last time, she has never had a good face for Wang Zijun.

Wang Zijun returned to the room after eating haphazardly, and was about to rest, but Lin Fengjiao came in with a big pot of chicken soup.

"Where did it come from?" Wang Zijun asked, the crew is all beef rice, but there is no chicken.

Lin Fengjiao said with a smile: "It's the pheasant that Uncle Wang and his veterans caught in the mountains and forests, I stewed a big pot for them, but you are not the only one." ”

Wang Zijun uncovered the hot clay cover, took a sip with a spoon, and praised: "The soup is thick and delicious, and the craftsmanship is good!" ”

Hearing Wang Zijun's admiration, Lin Fengjiao was even more happy, sat down and looked at him and said, "If it's delicious, you can eat more, and I'll keep some for you." ”

"Huh?" Wang Zijun suddenly felt that the woman in front of him seemed to be too enthusiastic about herself, could she be interesting to herself?

Lin Fengjiao was looked at by Wang Zijun like this, her pretty face turned red, she stood up and said, "Ah, you eat slowly first, I remembered that I still have something to do, so I went out first." After speaking, before Wang Zijun could answer, he turned around and left the room.

There are beautiful women who like themselves, and as a man, Wang Zijun is of course very happy in his heart, but what follows is trouble.

Don't look at Lin Fengjiao's surname Ge Wen, it seems that she will not fight back when others beat and scold her, but what she believes will be put into practice very actively. In the previous life, the relationship between Lin Fengjiao and Cheng Long was originally like a separation, but when she learned that Cheng Long had not broken off with Teresa Teng while dating her, Lin Fengjiao immediately launched a reverse chase and snatched Cheng Long from Teresa Teng.

Wang Zijun didn't want to see Lin Fengjiao and Lin Qingxia fighting for themselves and being jealous.

But I have to say that Lin Fengjiao's chicken soup is really delicious!

...... "Brother Jun, I just came to a screenwriting major, saying that I want to join the crew!" On this day, Wang Zijun was directing the set of the street battle, and suddenly Ke Shouliang ran over and said.

After Ke Shouliang's unremitting efforts, he has now become Wang Zijun's assistant part-time.

Of course, he is an assistant who specializes in running errands, and he can't do it at all if he is too professional, and he needs to learn slowly.

"Screenwriter? I've made most of my movies, what does he do as a screenwriter? Wang Zijun wondered.

Ke Shouliang said: "He said that he wants to be a director and learn to make movies with you." ”

"What kind of mess?" Wang Zijun said, "Then throw him into any group, let him learn from the basics." This kind of thing also bothers me, really! ”

"Okay, I'll let him do the drama." Ke Shouliang came to help introduce him because of his friend's entrustment, but seeing that Wang Zijun was too busy, he was ready to create another opportunity next time.

Without waiting for Ke Shouliang to walk away, Wang Zijun suddenly asked, "Wait, he didn't say what his name was?" ”

Ke Shouliang thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be called Hou Xiaoxian." ”

"Hou Xiaoxian?" Wang Zijun was taken aback and said, "That, you call him over." ”

Ke Shouliang walked outside the filming venue, beckoned to a young man in the distance, and shouted, "Come here, Director Wang wants to see you!" ”

Hou Xiaoxian ran over and thanked: "Thank you, Brother Xiaohei." ”

"Thanks for what? You are a friend of Ah Cheng, of course I want to help you say good things. Ke Shouliang patted his chest and said.

Hou Xiaoxian is now studying in the film and drama department of the National Art School, and he is about to graduate in three months, until he heard a friend talk about some inside stories of Wang Zijun's filming, he hurriedly looked for it all the way.

Hou Hsiao-hsien studied screenwriting, Taiwan is not as good as the Hong Kong film industry, and the screenwriting is still relatively good, but after studying for a few years, Hou Hsiao-hsien wants to be a director. The reason for this idea is that he is dissatisfied with the current Taiwanese films, which are too cookie-cutter and too detached from reality, and Hou Hsiao-hsien wants to make a new movie that is close to reality and pays attention to the bottom.

Just a few months ago, a teacher from the art school came into the classroom with a copy and said, "Today we are going to study a commercial film!" ”

The whole class laughed, what is there to study in the commercial, just set up a camera and say a few random words.

Teacher Zhengse said: "This commercial is only three minutes, but he uses various foreign film theories very skillfully and successfully, which is unprecedented in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even in the entire Asian region." Okay, let's watch it first. ”

The teacher's solemnity aroused everyone's interest, and they all stared at the big screen.

The footage was apparently taken directly from the TV with a camera, and even the black border of the TV can be seen. But it was this pirated film with poor picture quality that shocked these guys from professional backgrounds speechless, and they held their breath one by one, for fear of missing any detail.

The film was played ten times in class that day, and then the teacher didn't say a word, and directly announced the end of class and asked them to go back and write a movie review.

Hou Xiaoxian later learned through the narration of an actor in the commercial film that this film was actually directed by the popular singer Wang Zijun. And last week, a friend of his, Ah Cheng, played tricks in "Bloody Lonely City", and after he went back, he boasted about what kind of artillery fire or something, Hou Xiaoxian asked, only to know that the 10 million epic masterpiece on TV was actually directed by Wang Zijun, so he asked for leave at school and rushed over.

Wang Zijun glanced at him a few times, he was not tall, his appearance was ordinary, and he did not have the temperament of Taiwan's number one director in the future, to put it bluntly, he was stunned.

"I heard you studied film?" Wang Zijun asked.

Hou Xiaoxian seemed a little excited to see Wang Zijun, since watching the commercial, at least half of their class is Wang Zijun's fans.

"Yes, I studied screenwriting, but I also know a little bit about directing." Hou Hsiao-hsien replied.

Wang Zijun nodded: "Okay, you can do it with Xiao Hei first, how much you can learn depends on yourself." ”

Hou Hsiao-hsien watched the set staff tear down the wooden building, and said with some distress, but more than that, he was happy, and his film concept was that everything should be close to reality.

Hou Xiaoxian stayed in the crew for a total of thirteen days, and what excited him the most was that once Chen Kunhou was not available, Wang Zijun was also acting, and he actually asked him to take charge of the camera.

The first time he made a cameo appearance as a director, Hou Xiaoxian's hands and feet were trembling, and he looked stupidly after the filming was over, and he actually forgot to stop. His appearance was still treated as a joke many years later, when he had already become an international director, but every time he laughed, he blushed.

The ending of the movie Wang Zijun has been greatly modified, one or two hundred wounded soldiers left behind the palace, and Yu Chengwan broke through with his troops, these are all key portrayals, which can be said to be the big ** of the whole play.

Watching the makeup team get the wounded soldiers for a long time, Wang Zijun felt dissatisfied and ran over to do it himself. Glue-soaked toilet paper is applied to an actor's face, then the middle part is torn off, red ink is dotted into it, and finally it is cured with toothpaste. The original face without wounds was blurred with flesh and blood at this time, as if someone had slashed it on it, and it was impossible to tell the truth without touching it with your hands.

"That's it!" Wang Zijun clapped his hands and said.

"Good, that's amazing!" The members of the makeup team looked at their boss and felt that he was a monster, he not only helped the artists design the costumes, but actually came to make up.

"Okay, the last few shots, call it a day after shooting! Everyone's spirit! Wang Zijun yelled at everyone to bury their positions.

This set of shots is a scene where the defenders have no way to retreat, the army comes up to clear up, and the wounded and sick fight back and die together with the enemy. After their bullets were gone, the soldiers rushed up with a smirk and stabbed them with bayonets, and some of those with missing arms and legs hugged the enemy's thighs and bit them, and finally were pierced into a hornet's nest.

But more often than not, the few remaining grenades were detonated, not giving the army a chance to vent.

"What are you doing, telling you to bite him, what about you doing it, kissing for a long time and not biting!" Wang Zijun angrily pointed to an extra.

These dozens of people were recruited temporarily, and many of the actors who flickered on TV left after some experience, and the rest were characters with slightly more scenes. Later, Bai Muyang had to go to other studios to find a batch of them, but these people thought that filming Wang Zijun was too tired, and the salary was double the price of other crews.

The man listened and scolded: "Bite your mother, his pants are full of mud and dirt, why don't you bite them!" ”

Wang Zijun said angrily: "I'll give you 40 yuan a day, you go to other crews to take a look, are there more than 20?" If you take the money, you'll have to do the hard work for me! ”

The man took off his prop hat and smashed it on the ground, yelling: "Lao Tzu is fed up with you, I haven't seen a director like you, obviously acting very well and deliberately saying that it can't be remade, Lao Tzu did a slamming action more than 20 times yesterday, you think you are doing push-ups, isn't this a heart to fix me?" Lao Tzu won't act today, what can you do with me? ”

When the whole crew heard the quarrel, they all gathered around, Wang Zijun was angry in his heart, and waved his hand vigorously: "What do you see, what should you do!" If you don't act, right, just get out, and don't sign up for me filming in the future. ”

"If you don't act, you won't act, there are a lot of filming in Taiwan, who has to do it for you?" The man took off his uniform and left with a curse.

Wang Zijun looked at the other actors and asked: "Who doesn't want to act and say directly, if you pick a pick during filming, how much film will be ruined and how much he will pay!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but in the end, no one left.

"Who's going to play that role?" Wang Zijun asked.

"I'll do it." It was Deng Guangrong, who had just finished the scene, who raised his hand and said, "This role needs to show its face, it is very hideous and heroic, I think it is a challenge to acting." ”

"Thank you!" Wang Zijun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, this role really needs a little bit of acting skills, although it only shows his face for a second. If it weren't for Deng Guangrong to save the scene, then the only way to delete this role would be.

The makeup artist covered Deng Guangrong's face with blood and bandaged some bandages, so that people could not tell that it was Deng Guangrong, and then began to continue shooting.

Then there is the picture of "Yu Chengwan" breaking through, and the five cameras are turned on at the same time, in order to interpret this battle from every angle. Before the start of filming, these people had trained no less than ten times, but they were still in the old condition, but if it wasn't for the big action that affected the picture, Wang Zijun didn't care about him, and just cut out the lens from another angle.

“cut！” Until Wang Zijun shouted the sound of the card in his mouth, everyone in the crew breathed a sigh of relief, and then cheered in unison.

is still the same sentence, it is too tiring to follow Wang Zijun to film, and there is no director in Taiwan who is so demanding as him.

However, if you wait for the filming to be finished, that sense of accomplishment is something that you didn't have in other crews before.

People began to pack up their things and prepare to leave, Wang Zijun asked the finance to send money immediately, and at the same time, there was a red envelope for each person, which was regarded as a reward for everyone's hard work in the past few months. When the red envelope arrived, the complaints in everyone's hearts were eliminated a lot - this boss is still very humane.

Lin Fengjiao and Zhao Yazhi packed their luggage, and the former said with a smile: "Have you seen that the boss was so fierce just now, although he didn't have a thick neck like the others who were angry, but his face was so angry that the people next to him didn't dare to speak." ”

Zhao Yazhi chirped: "This person is not honest, he has a lot of bad intentions, you have to be careful in the future." ”

Lin Fengjiao retorted: "It's okay, the boss is very good, as long as he doesn't mess with him, he is smiling when he talks." ”

Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but tell the secret that had been holding in her heart, and added: "He is actually a pervert." The first time I saw me, I moved my hands and feet, and the last time I was filming, he kissed me forcibly. If I hadn't signed a contract with his company, I would have gone back to Hong Kong a long time ago. ”

"No, it won't." Lin Fengjiao thought to herself: Why didn't he do anything to me, could it be that I didn't look as good as Ah Zhi?

Zhao Yazhi saw Lin Fengjiao's fascinated look on her face, and was immediately defeated by her.
