Chapter 6 Looking at Taiwan
In Shaw Brothers Studios, the crew of "Shanghai Tang Thirteen Taibao", the "student" Guan Wei in "Thirteen Taibao" did not have many scenes, and the crew of "Changhe" did not have any accidents, and they only took a few times in a morning to get through.
Zhang Che attaches more importance to this movie, and now after several twists and turns, the dust has finally settled, and he is very happy in his heart. When Lu Feng saw Zhang Che's expression, he knew what his master was thinking, and gave his junior brother Cheng Tianci a look, the latter understood, the two of them made a happy face, shouted loudly, gathered everyone, Lu Feng said to Zhang Che: "Master, it's time to announce the finalization." ”。
When Zhang Che heard this, he put away his sadness, a smile appeared on his face again, looked around at the crew, and said loudly: "Now, I announce that ...... "Shanghai Thirteen Taibao" is officially completed!" ”
When everyone around heard the sound, they shouted in unison......
Andy Lau and Liang Jiaren were nervous during the wireless schedule, saluted Zhang Che, said that they could not participate in the finale banquet, and left first after confessing; Zhang Che had already known what Run Run Shaw had in mind during the negotiation earlier, so he didn't say anything more, and everyone packed up their photographic equipment and props and equipment, and then went home.
Cheng Tianci was driving in front of him, and Lu Feng had the intention to divert Zhang Che's attention, so he found a topic and said, "Master, didn't Chen Xunqi send a younger brother over to study with you?" It's today, right? ”。
"Hmmm! It's called Chen Yongren, and I asked Jiang Sheng to stay at home just to wait for him; Xun Qi has cooperated with me many times before, and he has helped me a lot, and this affection should be repaid sooner or later. Zhang Che replied.
"Oh...... Of course, I don't know what Master is going to arrange? Lu Feng continued to ask.
Zhang Che didn't answer for a while, Lu Feng was thinking about it, and suddenly heard Zhang Che speak again: "I have to concentrate on the late production of the 'Thirteen Taibao' recently, I don't have time, and I listen to Xun Qi, his younger brother is a blank sheet of paper, and he has to start from scratch, doesn't your company in Taiwan just have a drama to start?" If you are so interested, I will leave it to you first, let it practice first, familiarize yourself with the process of film shooting and the operation of the crew, you should be more serious and use more snacks. ”。
"Huh?" Lu Feng was dumbfounded, why did he inexplicably take on a job with students? Seeing Zhang Che looking over again, he didn't know how to refuse, so he had to say yes again. Cheng Tianci, who was driving in front, laughed secretly.
Chen Yongren, who was still talking and laughing with Jiang Sheng in the "Long River", did not know that he had been assigned to Taiwan without knowing it; After several changes after meeting, he chatted with Jiang Sheng very speculatively, and the relationship between the two was also a lot closer, and there were many fewer taboos in speaking; The conversation between the two is related to Zhang Che and the movie, but listening to Jiang Sheng's tone is very emotional: "The world is impermanent, although the Hong Kong film market has flourished in recent years, Master and we have made movies, but there are fewer and fewer people who like to watch them, especially Master and his old man is old, and his energy is not as good as before, and he even fell asleep when he was working on the set recently; In addition, his old man's favorite disciple had an accident, and he was exhausted by repeated encounters and blows, but his old man was naturally strong and refused to admit defeat, and we were helpless, and we didn't know where to go in the future! ”。
Chen Yongren clearly knew that the film concept of "Long River" was no longer suitable for today's Hong Kong, and Zhang Che's "Shanghai Tang Thirteen Taibao" was not well received, until a year later, he rushed to the mainland to shoot a few movies, although the box office in Hong Kong was not ideal, but it was extremely popular in the mainland, where entertainment culture is scarce; As a disciple, John Woo has the highest achievements and has left a reputation in Hollywood; Li Xiuxian has always been active in the film industry and has made many classic police and gangster films; Jiang David and Dillon had film and television works in the next ten years, but they also switched careers to make TV series after the downturn in the film industry; Jiang Sheng, Lu Feng, Guo Chai and others have few works after this, or occasionally do some action design for some movies, or go to Taiwan to shoot TV series.
Thinking of this, he had a flash of inspiration, as if he was joking, and smiled at Jiang Sheng: "Brother Jiang, you don't have to worry, one day you won't be able to mess around, you can go to my film company to help, and the little brother will definitely be reused." ”。
"Hah...... A film company? You kid is not small! Okay, if I can't get it anymore one day, I'll go get that bite to eat. Jiang Sheng naturally heard the meaning of Chen Yongren's joke, and also jokingly replied. At this moment, the two heard a commotion outside, but saw Jiang Sheng glance at the wall clock, stood up and said to Chen Yongren: "It should be Master, they are back, I heard the voices of several people in the crew." ”。 Chen Yongren had already stood up, and the two went out together......
In the office hall of "Changhe", a group of people were carrying photographic equipment and props and equipment, Chen Yongren looked around, they were all young adults, but he didn't see anyone who looked like Zhang Che; I saw a man look over here, and walked over with a few people, Chen Yongren knew two of them, one was the actor of Luo Hu in "Thirteen Taibao", Lu Feng, one of Zhang Che's disciples, and Jiang Ming, the actor of Mr. Gao in the movie at the same time, and the others also looked familiar; In fact, compared with Lu Feng, Chen Yongren is more familiar with Jiang Ming, because he later participated in a classic TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady", which was popular all over Asia and the Chinese world.
Jiang Sheng also seemed strange not to see Zhang Che, and when he stepped forward, he took the lead in asking, "Ah Feng, what about Master's other family?" ”。
Lu Feng raised his legs and sat on the desk next to him, and replied: "You also know that the master is old, and he has often been sleepy recently, and he has been busy all morning today, and I see that he is also very tired, so let Tianci send him back to rest first!" After speaking, he glanced at Chen Yongren, who was standing next to him, and asked, "You are Chen Xunqi's younger brother?" ”。
Jiang Sheng heard Lu Feng's question, took the initiative to introduce it to everyone, and introduced other cadres to Chen Yongren; Seeing this situation, Jiang Sheng dismissed everyone to continue working, and asked Lu Feng: "Master, he should remember Yongren, right?" He didn't come back, didn't tell you anything? ”。
Chen Yongren also cast an inquiring gaze, but Lu Feng sighed when he heard this, and said to Chen Yongren, who was also curious: "Yongren, if you have nothing else to do, you will hurry up and go home first to pack up your things, prepare some bags, and also say goodbye to your parents, come here to find us before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and go to Taiwan together; Of course...... If you want! ”。
Jiang Sheng and Chen Yongren next to him were stunned when they heard this, the former spoke first, looked at Lu Feng and asked, "You mean that Master arranged for us to take Yongren?" ”
Lu Feng spread out his hands and asked rhetorically, "Otherwise?" He jumped off the desk and explained to Chen Yongren, who was puzzled: "Master has recently been concentrating on the post-production of the 'Thirteen Taibao', and I don't have time to teach you, and you have just entered the industry, and you have to start from scratch, so there is no need to trouble Master, it just so happens that my brother and I have a drama to open in Taiwan, you first follow us to familiarize yourself with the operation of the crew, and then it depends on your own choice which direction you want to develop!" What about your opinion? ”。
Chen Yongren had already sorted out the context in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Brother Feng, you are joking, I just entered the industry and I don't understand anything, what can I say?" It's up to you. ”。
Lu Feng was relieved to see Chen Yongren talking so well; "By the way," Jiang Sheng suddenly asked, "Yongren, where do you live?" ”。
"Yuen Long." Chen Yongren replied. "That's great, your home is much closer to the airport than this, and you don't have to take a long detour in such a hurry tomorrow, why don't we meet directly at the airport?" Jiang Sheng Road.
"OK, no problem! What time is the plane? ”。
"You can get there before eleven o'clock, we will meet at the entrance of the departure hall, and we will handle the ticket, you don't have to worry about it."
Chen Yongren nodded yes, and then spoke: "In this case, time is tight, if the two elder brothers have nothing else to explain, the younger brother will go home first to prepare, and I have to explain to the family." ”
Jiang Sheng and Lu Feng glanced at each other, both shook their heads, and the former spoke: "Then you go home first!" Be careful on the road, and wait until we meet tomorrow. While speaking, the three of them moved their feet, and when they arrived at the door of the "Long River", Chen Yongren even said that there was no need to send it again, and the two told him not to forget the time the next day, so they watched him leave his sight, turned around, and Lu Feng spoke: "Senior brother, how do you feel about staying with this kid all morning?" ”。
Jiang Sheng: "The material that can be made ......".
“…… Gone? ”
Jiang Sheng glanced at Lu Feng: "He may be a thousand miles, but I am not Bole, I can see the future after talking all morning, I have the ability to open a fortune telling early!" ”
"But...... It feels like a good person and can make deep friends! Lu Fengzheng was speechless, but he heard Jiang Sheng say again.
