"It's so glamorous, change it again!"

In the studio, Kang Jianfei sat on a rattan chair with Erlang's legs crossed, and said to Zhang Mian, who was standing under the light.

"Director, can you see this set?" Xi Zhongwen, who served as the art director and costume designer of "Notes on Tomb Robbery", came over with a set of white clothes and asked.

Kang Jianfei looked at it carefully a few times, nodded and said, "Try it." ”

Xi Zhongwen handed over the clothes, and Zhang Meng immediately took the clothes and ran to the changing room.

Before Zhang Meng came back after changing his clothes, a middle-aged man in a blue suit said: "Director, that set of clothes just now is too trendy, and it is difficult to see people wearing that style in the mainland." ”

The middle-aged man who spoke was Xun Sicheng, a costume consultant hired by Chen Xunqi from the mainland, and used to work at the Pearl River Film Production Company.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "This dress was designed by Mr. Xi and Miss Tang together, not to mention the mainland, even in Hong Kong, it is very trendy." ”

Mr. Xi is Xi Zhongwen, and Miss Tang is Tang Shuchen, the cousin of Tang Shuxuan, vice president of DreamWorks Film and Television, and Tang Shuchen's husband Lu Guanting also works at DreamWorks. In another time and space, the theme song "The Love of My Life" of "Journey to the West", the songwriters are Lu Guanting and Tang Shuchen.

Xun Sicheng didn't give face to Xi Zhongwen and Tang Shuchen, he said: "I have read the script of "Notes on Tomb Robbery", Zhang Qiling is a mainland woman, and she is engaged in illegal tomb robbery. Therefore, not only can you not dress trendy, but you must also dress more ordinarily than ordinary people, so that you will look low-key. Since DreamWorks hired me as a costume consultant for the film, I had to be worthy of the salary I was paid. ”

Xi Zhongwen retorted: "Mr. Xun, what we want to make now is a movie, not a documentary that respects reality. If a movie wants to sell well at the box office, it must attract the audience, and if the heroine wears the kind of clothes that can't be found if she falls into the crowd, then what do you need us people to do? Go directly to the roadside stall and buy a few clothes and start shooting. ”

After all, Xun Sicheng has just come from the mainland, and his film concept is completely different from Xi Zhongwen: "I think a good movie relies on its content to attract the audience, not what the actors wear." If you let the heroine wear the same set of clothes in "Notes on Tomb Robbery", what is the difference between letting a Ming Dynasty person wear modern clothes? ”

Kang Jianfei listened to the argument between the two, and he could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Xun Sicheng used to be a director in Zhujiang Film Company, and shooting movies in the system is a task, and the director only needs to complete the film, and he doesn't need to think about the box office at all, but he Kang Jianfei must consider the market.

If the costumes of the characters in the movie are ordinary, it may be more logical, but it will definitely greatly reduce the appeal of the film to the audience.

But in the same way, Xun Sicheng's opinion cannot be ignored, if the actors' costumes are too fancy and trendy, it will look too fake, thus destroying the overall atmosphere of the film and producing an indescribable sense of disobedience.

"Mr. Kang, do you think this is okay?" Zhang Mian quickly came back after changing his clothes, stood under the light and slowly turned in a circle and asked.

Kang Jianfei's ten fingers and thumbs of both hands were stuck into a square lens, he closed one eye and observed through the lens for a few seconds, and suddenly spoke: "The light tone is too soft, a little colder." ”

The gaffer immediately adjusted the light until Kang Jianfei shouted OK.

At this moment, Zhang Mian under the light was dressed in white, her long hair hung down to her vest, and Kang Jianfei asked her to hold a prop sword, which made Zhang Mian's whole temperament change abruptly, and she looked extremely cold and glamorous under the cold light.

Kang Jianfei said to Xi Zhongwen: "Zhongwen, remove all the decorations on the details of this set of clothes, and leave one or two finishing touches, to be simple, capable and feminine." There is also a little tightening of the trouser legs, such a big trouser leg is too outrageous, not to mention tomb robbery, even going on an outing seems cumbersome. ”

"Okay, I'll make changes when I get back." Xi Zhongwen said.

Xun Sicheng interjected: "Director Kang, isn't this inappropriate." ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said: "The male and female protagonists, including important supporting roles, must be eye-catching in terms of costumes and styling. But Mr. Xun, you're right, I will prepare a few sets of ordinary clothes for all the characters, give different looks according to different situations, and the script will also have slight details changes. ”

The director has said this, Xun Sicheng naturally doesn't want to say more. Anyway, he was seconded by the China Film Co-production Company, and after filming this film, he will return to work at the Pearl River Film Company.

Another half a month has passed, and the costumes of the main characters in the film have all been completed, but the movie has not been able to start for the time being. It was rainy on the Danxia Mountain side of the location, and the weather was impossible to shoot at all, and the indoor studio set up in Hong Kong was not completed.

Kang Jianfei could only continue to wait, and first took the character's makeup photos for the second round of publicity. A few main characters, each with a set of makeup photos, is enough for the photographer to be busy for four or five days.

"Change your look again, raise your sword sideways, look straight ahead, and look a little more cold and restrained...... OK, Miss Zhang, you've taken all the photos. In the studio, the photographer put away his camera.

The gaffer turned off the light box, and several assistants were busy cleaning up the reflectors. Zhang Meng carried the prop sword that was used as a black gold blood sword at zero hour, rubbed her shoulders and walked towards the locker room, posing for most of the day, her bones were sore.

When Zhang Meng changed his clothes and took off his makeup, he saw his agent Deng Baola coming over with a smile, and she immediately greeted: "Hello Sister Paula." ”

Deng Baola went to the Academy of Performing Arts to find Miss Deng that day, she is not the gold medal agent of Oriental Entertainment Company, and can only rank in the second echelon of the company's agents. She asked with concern, "Amin, the makeup photos were taken smoothly, right?" ”

Zhang Meng responded with a smile: "It's quite smooth." ”

Deng Baola took Zhang Meng back to his car, actually took out a thermos pot, and said warmly: "You have been filming for most of the day, you must not have eaten lunch well, I will make you a little hot, drink it while it is hot." ”

"Thank you, Sister Paula." Zhang Meng knew that Deng Baola was deliberately befriending, but she was still very moved, scooped a spoonful of hot and drank it, and praised again and again, "Sister Paula's craftsmanship is really good." ”

Deng Baola smiled: "Don't drink too quickly, be careful of burning." ”

Brokers and celebrities have a symbiotic relationship, and the celebrities are famous and make more money, so that the brokers can get more commissions; Similarly, the more contacts and resources an agent has, the easier it is for his or her stars to become popular.

Oriental Entertainment Brokerage Company has been operating for many years and has formed a set of models that are similar to and different from those of American brokerage companies. The two stars who are also signed with Oriental Entertainment Company, even if they have the same www.biquge.info when they first sign the contract, if they have different agents, then their future development will be very different.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and now the Oriental Entertainment Agency is roughly divided into three factions: one is the old man promoted by Pan Yingzi when he was the general manager; One faction is the current general manager Zhang Guozhong's subordinates; There is also a faction under Deputy General Manager Chen Bingkun.

Among the three factions, Pan Yingzi no longer cares about the company's affairs after giving birth, but she is still a shareholder of Oriental Entertainment Company, and the old people she promoted are all in important positions, and they have the earliest batch of actors such as Zhou Yanfa , Zhong Chuhong , Guan Zhilin , etc. This faction belongs to the veteran faction, with old qualifications but not competing for the limelight, and no one will be provoked by the rules, but everyone will give some face.

Zhang Guozhong mainly controls the artist resources of DreamWorks, and the agents of big names such as Wang Guxian, Leslie Cheung, and Leung Jiahui are all under the general manager Zhang Guozhong.

Although the remaining Chen Bingkun is the vice president, he is a veteran who has befriended Kang Jianfei since the Shaw Brothers era, and he is in charge of the previous future star artist training class. He has a large number of young actors in his hands, such as Liming, Zhou Hailin, Huang Qiusheng and others, who have close ties with Oriental Television Production Company, mainly supplying artist resources to Phoenix TV and Macau Satellite TV.

Now the people who are fighting the most are Zhang Guozhong and Chen Bingkun, both of whom are delusional about expanding in each other's territory. On weekdays, DreamWorks and Dongshi Company make movies and TV series, and the two gangs even compete for a small supporting role, desperately stuffing their own actors into the crew.

In general, Zhang Guozhong, as the general manager and several big-name stars, is currently in absolute upper hand.

There is competition to make progress, Kang Jianfei naturally cannot be naïve enough to think that his company is harmonious. Not to mention Oriental Entertainment, even DreamWorks has split up a few years ago.

The problem is that the fight between Zhang Guozhong and Chen Bingkun has begun to cause internal friction, which has had a bad negative impact on the company's development.

Now there are hundreds of film companies in Hong Kong, and Oriental Entertainment Company is the largest company in Hong Kong with many artist resources.

Zhang Guozhong and Chen Bingkun's agents, in order to grab film contracts for their subordinates, actually began to maliciously lower prices, and even all kinds of messy unspoken rules came out.

Deng Baola is Chen Bingkun's agent, and Kang Jianfei appointed her to sign Zhang Meng, in fact, she was knocking Zhang Guozhong in disguise, wanting to balance the strength gap between Zhang Guozhong and Chen Bingkun.

At the same time, Kang Jianfei also asked Pan Yingzi to come forward on his behalf, and terminated the two agents who maliciously competed half a year ago, along with the stars involved, and dismissed them from the company. This move is actually a strict warning to Zhang Guozhong, Chen Bingkun, and all the agents of the company.

Deng Baola used to be a relatively good agent at most, with two quasi-first-line stars and several third-rate actors in hand, and she also knew some directors and producers in Hong Kong. She received the task in a daze, and then became the agent of the heroine of Kang Jianfei's new film, which made Deng Baola think that she was dreaming for a long time.

Because of Kang Jianfei, Deng Baola is very optimistic about Zhang Mian's future, so she tries her best to have a good personal relationship with Zhang Mian, and treats Zhang Mian better than her husband. Deng Baola has only one purpose, that is, to be her agent for a long time after Zhang Meng becomes popular.

Once a top popular star appears under his hands, Deng Baola's network resources in the circle will be quickly enriched, and even if she leaves Oriental Entertainment Company one day to work alone, she can mix very well.

Seeing that Zhang Meng drank a small half of the scald, Deng Baola instructed: "Amin, you will go to Danxia Mountain to film after a while, remember to bring the mosquito spray I bought, otherwise the mosquitoes in the mountains will be very fierce." ”

"I see, thank you, Sister Paula." Zhang Meng smiled and put the thermos pot on the lid, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and said, "I can't eat it." ”

"It's good to be full, who let you finish eating." Deng Baola opened the thermos pot, and he didn't think it was Zhang Meng who ate the leftovers, so he scooped it up and drank it.

Deng Baola's actions have shortened the distance between the two very much, and Zhang Mian is about to regard her as a confidant big sister.

Deng Baola said: "Amin, do you know how hard-won this opportunity is? Many young actors in the company want to be the heroine of Mr. Kang's new film, and their agents are active everywhere, and even the makeup artists and prop masters who often follow Mr. Kang to film have been invited to eat countless meals, just to find out Mr. Kang's tone. ”

"Sister Paula, I know this if you don't tell me." Soon after Zhang Miao joined the company, she felt that the people around her were either jealous or flattering, and the root of it came from the role she was about to play and the director of this movie.

Deng Baola said: "So you must take advantage of this opportunity, if you miss it, you may not be able to become a big star in your life." ”

Zhang Miao nodded solemnly and said, "Sister Paula, I will work hard to shoot the scene well." ”

Deng Baola shook his head and said: "Acting well is only one aspect, what is more important is to have a good relationship with Mr. Kang." ”

Zhang Mian said worriedly: "I don't know Mr. Kang well, and I have only spoken a few words. ”

"That's why I remind you, silly girl," Deng Baola said hatefully, "If you just make this movie well, with Mr. Kang's directing strength, you will definitely be famous as the heroine." But how big this name can be, whether it is an instant hit, or whether it is used as a vase, no one can say clearly, it is possible that in a year and a half, the popularity you earned in the play here will be scattered. ”

Zhang Miao asked, "Sister Paula, what should I do?" ”

Deng Baola said: "I just said, it is to have a good relationship with Mr. Kang. As long as you befriend Mr. Kang, you will definitely be popular in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the future, and if you can't make a second movie, you will definitely not make an appointment. In the past two or three months, you have been in contact with Mr. Kang several times, but you only said a few words to him, you are wasting the opportunity in vain. The last time I tried on clothes, didn't I let you take the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Mr. Kang? How did you forget all my words! ”

"Mr. Kang has been discussing clothes with Mr. Xi and them, I can't interject, and after the discussion, he will leave directly, and I don't dare to catch up." Zhang said that although she has studied drama for several years, her personality is still very introverted.

A person's personality is largely caused by the environment in which he grew up, such as Kang Jianfei's shamelessness, extremism and greed, which has a huge relationship with what he has encountered since he was a child.

Zhang Mian has lived on it since he was a child. In Hai's alley, her mother married far away to Hong Kong to earn a living, and she could only follow her aunt and grandmother. Zhang Meng has not had her parents by her side since she was a child, which makes her introverted to almost autistic, and later she was taken to Hong Kong by her parents, and the people around her speak Cantonese that she doesn't understand, which makes it even more difficult for Zhang Meng to make friends.

In another time and space, when Zhang Meng and Zhou Xingchi first collaborated on a movie, both of them were introverted and autistic personalities, but fortunately, Wang Jing and Wu Mengda were adjusted, otherwise the movie would not have been made at all.

Deng Baola was very speechless at Zhang Mian's expression, she said: "You are an actor, why can't you wipe your face?" ”

Zhang Meng said: "Acting is acting, I can do it by lying on the ground and rolling, but the problem is that talking to Mr. Kang is not acting." ”

Deng Baola said: "What are you afraid of? Go directly to Mr. Kang, find something to say, and his impression of you will be better a few more times. Don't let me finish the filming, and end up communicating with Mr. Kang, and it's only about work. ”

Zhang Miao voiced his concerns: "I'm afraid what if he ignores me?" Wouldn't that be humiliating. And I'm not very good at talking, I can only talk to acquaintances, in case I say the wrong thing and offend Mr. Kang. ”

Deng Baola covered his forehead and said, "Okay, I'll serve you." Think about it from another angle, Mr. Kang handpicked you to be the heroine, what is his impression of you? ”

Zhang Miao said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be too bad." ”

Deng Baola said: "It's not that it's not too bad, but it definitely sees some aspect of your potential." What you have to do now is to let go of the worries in your heart and take the initiative to build a relationship with Mr. Kang. If you can't find a topic, start with things at work, ask him for a script, and when you are familiar with it, then slowly move on to private topics. ”

Zhang Meng said distressedly: "But Mr. Kang has been very busy recently, running back and forth between the mainland and Hong Kong, and I don't have many opportunities to contact him. ”

Deng Baola said: ""Notes on Tomb Robbery" is a big investment, and the preliminary preparations are very cumbersome, and Mr. Kang is of course very busy. What I mean is that you have to seize every opportunity to contact Mr. Kang in the future and get along with him little by little. Especially when filming in the mainland, everyone shoots in Danxia Mountain during the day, and most of them have to go back to the city to live at night. ”

Zhang Meng nodded and said, "I'll try my best." ”

Deng Baola hesitated for a moment and said: "The time for filming on location in Danxia Mountain may not be long, and there is no chance when filming in Hong Kong." So you must seize the opportunity to film in the mainland, if possible, I can go directly to Mr. Kang's room to ask for advice after returning to the hotel in the evening. ”

"Evening ...... Mr. Kang's room ......" Zhang Meng could hear the meaning of Deng Baola's words no matter how stupid she was, and she exclaimed, "Sister Paula, you want me to ...... That's not good. ”

Deng Baola explained: "This kind of thing, you can do it yourself." Do you know why Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin, and Wang Guxian have been popular? Which of the companies doesn't know their relationship with Mr. Kang? It's just that no one said it. With your appearance and temperament, if you are willing to pay, you will definitely be able to become the next Honggu, Xiaoqian and Thirteen Aunts of the company. ”R1152
