605 [The Dream of the Dragons]
The morning breeze blows the waves, and the pale green curtains sway in the wind.
Zhao Yazhi stood on the balcony and enjoyed the sea view for a while, before returning to the house in a comfortable mood and picking up the script of "The Legend of the New White Lady" that Kang Jianfei had just called.
Kang Jianfei was sitting not far away writing and drawing, revising another script.
The two were busy with their own work, Zhao Yazhi watched the script of "The Legend of the New White Lady" for two episodes, and then walked up to Kang Jianfei and asked, "This is the movie you are going to make in the second half of the year?" ”
"Yes, the title of the film is 'My Sassy Girlfriend'." Kang Jianfei said.
Zhao Yazhi smiled and quipped: "Another romance movie? You're addicted to making literary romance films. ”
Kang Jianfei explained: "DreamWorks' shooting plan for the second half of the year was formulated two months ago, and at least three films will be released for Christmas, New Year and Spring Festival. Xu Ke's "Shushan 2" should be able to catch up with the New Year, Wang Jing's "Huang Feihong 2" is scheduled for the Spring Festival, and there are already two fantasy and action movies, so it's just right for me to make up a romantic comedy. ”
"You asked Wang Jing to shoot the second part of the "Once Upon a Time" series?" Zhao Yazhi asked in surprise, she was skeptical of Wang Jing's ability to make kung fu films.
"Don't worry, let him come to shoot and toss a little novelty, lest the audience have less and less expectations for the sequel." Kang Jianfei is not worried about Wang Jing's ability, the third part of the "Huang Feihong" series in the original time and space was filmed by Wang Jing, this guy made a serious heroic kung fu film into a spoof version, which makes people laugh and does not seem to be in harmony at the same time, this skill is enough to be worthy of the title of a ghost director.
According to the artist publicity plan formulated by Kang Jianfei, there are now four kings and four small kings in Oriental Entertainment Agency.
The four kings are movie stars Chow Runfa, Chow Xingchi, Leung Ka-fai and Li Lianjie, although Zhang Guorong is very popular in the film industry, he has more influence as a singer. So it is generally classified as a superstar in the music world.
In addition, after He Jiajin starred in "Shushan", although his value skyrocketed, his acting skills have always been criticized, and there are no representative film works except for "Shushan", so now he can only be regarded as an ordinary first-line movie star.
As for the Four Little Heavenly Kings, they are all TV stars. They are Jiang Hua, Yin Tianzhao, Li Ming and Sun Xing. These four people are all TV actors who have become popular in the past two years, and due to the popularity of Phoenix TV dramas, the fame of these four people is not inferior to that of the wireless five tigers of the year.
As for the old drama bone Wan Zizhen, it belongs to the treasure of Zhentai, and has a very high status in Phoenix Terrace and Dongshi Company.
With the king of heaven, there are naturally queens, and the four queens are Zhong Chuhong, Li Saifeng, Wang Guxian and Guan Zhilin. Originally, Kang Jianfei originally wanted to put Lin Qingxia in. But now that Lin Qingxia has faded out of the entertainment industry, she has to make up four more.
Among them, Zhong Chuhong is naturally undoubted as a diva, although Li Saifeng is not as good as Zhong Chuhong in Hong Kong, but due to the super hit of "Shushan", her fame in East Asia is no less than that of Honggu.
Wang Guxian and Guan Zhilin are much inferior, Wang Guxian mainly plays a single role. There are some goblins and ghosts in the whole role, and the qualifications are still relatively shallow, so it is a little reluctant to rank among the four queens.
And Guan Zhilin is pure because her mind is not on acting, except for the impressive thirteenth aunt in "Huang Feihong", she doesn't have many influential roles left, and she can't make a few dramas a year. However, because of its good looks, it has debuted for a longer time. Kwan Zhilin's fame in Hong Kong is much greater than that of Wang Guxian, who works hard to make films.
Oriental Entertainment Company's promotion of the king and queen has gradually been accepted by the public and the media during this time. However, because the name of the king and queen of heaven is too loud, many people feel that the tone of Oriental Entertainment Company is too loud, and if it is replaced by names such as the Thirteen Taibao and the Twelve Golden Hairpins, it will not be so controversial.
Among the Four Heavenly Kings and Four Heavenly Queens, Zhou Runfa and Zhou Xingchi's status is the most convincing. Leung Jiahui seems to have weak qualifications and fame, but in fact, he starred in "Listening to Politics with a Curtain" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace" a few years ago, which sold well, and "Fang Fang" stepped onto the international stage after the hit, he has been able to sit firmly on the throne of the king.
The only unstable is Li Lianjie, although "Shaolin Temple" caused a sensation after its release in Hong Kong, everyone has always regarded him as a mainland actor. Until after the hit of "Once Upon a Time". Li Lianjie is really accepted by most Hong Kong fans. He has also received a lot of kung fu films in the past two years, but the box office of these movies has not gone up or down, and director Li Lianjie's salary has not increased but decreased, and it is time to make a sequel to "Once Upon a Time" to stabilize his fame.
Kang Jianfei's preparation for the filming of "My Sassy Girlfriend" is the same reason, and its main purpose is to help Wang Guoxian ascend to the throne. While broadening its drama road, it is stable and its diva's name.
In another time and space, perhaps the female ghost and goblin played too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Wang Guxian did not get rid of the inherent female ghost image until he stopped filming. To put it bluntly, everyone likes Wang Guxian to play female ghosts and goblins, and once she plays a normal role, not many people will buy it.
The drama road is too narrow, this is Wang Guxian's most fatal problem, Kang Jianfei wants to help her transform, and the first thing that comes to mind is the movie "My Sassy Girlfriend".
Zhao Yazhi was a little curious about the title of "My Sassy Girlfriend", and was attracted by the wonderful plot when she took it over, and asked after reading the script: "Ah Fei, who are you going to play the heroine?" ”
"Wang Guxian." Kang Jianfei replied.
Zhao Yazhi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Her image is quite suitable, what about the male protagonist?" I think Zhang Guorong is not bad. ”
"No," Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "This is a romantic comedy with a female theme, and the male protagonist's existence is just a foil, it must not be too dazzling, and a relatively ordinary actor must be chosen to play it." ”
"Ordinary?" Zhao Yazhi didn't understand a little, it is an iron law for handsome men and beautiful women to star in romance films, if you want to do a good box office, you have to follow this principle, no director deliberately finds a frustrated actor to be the actor.
Kang Jianfei was also a little difficult, he said: "Yes, you have to be ordinary and not too frustrated, otherwise you can't support the whole role, this kind of actor is really hard to find." ”
……
Kang Jianfei is going to make a new film, and the news is not unexpected, only Kang Jianfei's fans, entertainment reporters and DreamWorks competitors will pay attention.
But the news that came out immediately caused heated discussions, because Kang Jianfei advertised in "Oriental Daily" and Phoenix Channel, and Xuancheng himself couldn't find a suitable actor. So I want to audition to solicit the actor of the new film.
This is simply unbelievable, so many actors under Kang Jianfei actually have to choose people through guò auditions.
Immediately, the media came out to "debunk" him, saying that Kang Jianfei's so-called audition was just hype, but in fact, the actor had already been decided.
Kang Jianfei didn't bother to explain this. The more he defended it, the more the public paid more attention to this statement, and naturally, everyone focused on the film itself.
Kang Jianfei's new film is a romantic comedy, and the heroine is "Xiaoqian" Wang Guxian. This news made many Kang Jianfei's fans unhappy, and they protested and asked Kang Jianfei to make action movies, while Wang Jixian's fans were very happy, hoping that their idol could transform smoothly.
I'm afraid the worst mood is Pan Disheng and Huang Baiming. Because of the popularity of "Fangfang" in the summer, they all chose to shoot a romantic comedy to compete in the Christmas file. Now Kang Jianfei is also going to shoot a romantic comedy, this is especially the rhythm of crashing!
It's a pity that their scripts have been written, the contracts of the director and actors have been signed, and the preliminary preparations have been almost done, and it is impossible to adapt the shooting plan because Kang Jianfei wants to shoot the same type of film.
TVB Clear Water Bay Studio.
Twenty or thirty costumes and swords and guns stood in two teams. The background of the shot is a wall made of planks and foam.
The little villain Wei Zhongyuan played by Wu Zhenyu rode on the only horse, pulled out his waist knife and yelled: "Kill!" ”
More than a dozen dragon sets followed behind Wu Zhenyu's horse, rushing to the more than ten dragon sets on the opposite side like street gangsters fighting, and then the two sides caught each other and fought together.
"Click! This one is over, and I'm ready to shoot the next one. ”
The director gave an order, and the dead bodies on the ground immediately stood up, and then ran to put on makeup and change clothes.
More than ten minutes later. Wu Zhenyu slashed at Zheng Chenggong's arm played by Lu Liangwei. Lu Liangwei covered the wound on his arm and glared at Wu Zhenyu angrily: "Why did you throw yourself into the Manchu Qing Dynasty, why did you betray me!" ”
"Big brother, each is just his master, offended! Kill! Wu Zhenyu rode his horse and knife towards Lu Liangwei.
Dozens of tricks fought together again until the director shouted with satisfaction.
In the middle of the afternoon, Wu Zhenyu played a small supporting role, and his role had been filmed, but the male number one Lu Liangwei had to wait until midnight to finish work.
However, Wu Zhenyu did not leave, but continued to stay in the crew - changing into the costume of a soldier to run a show.
Wu Zhenyu is a classmate of the wireless artist training class with Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xingchi. A few years have passed, Liang Chaowei is already the master of TVB, and Zhou Xingchi has become the four kings of DreamWorks. And he, Wu Zhenyu, has been running tricks since 1982 and has been running tricks for five years. I finally got a character with a name and lines half a month ago.
Today's filming was relatively smooth, and it was only eight o'clock in the evening that I ended work early.
Wu Zhenyu, who was tired, rubbed his waist and was about to go home to rest, but was dragged by Ouyang Zhenhua to have supper, along with the dark Liu Qingyun.
Among the three, the little fat man Ouyang Zhenhua and Wu Zhenyu were students in the same period, while Liu Qingyun was the junior brother of their later class. Ouyang Zhenhua and Liu Qingyun have to mix a little better, two or three years ago they were able to play the kind of role that can say more than a dozen lines, and now the two of them can occasionally play supporting roles with more scenes.
However, in terms of actor contracts, there is actually no difference between the three of them.
Although TVB's five-year and ten-year long contract has been repeatedly criticized, if you want to be exploited by TVB, you have to be qualified. Wu Zhenyu, Ouyang Zhenhua and Liu Qingyun are obviously the kind of actors who are not qualified, and they have no way to sign a five-year long-term contract with TVB - the salary will be higher after signing.
The three of them found a roadside stall and sat down, and each asked for a bowl of noodles, a few strings of fish balls and a bottle of beer, which was considered a hearty supper.
Among the three, Wu Zhenyu has an inferior and shy personality, Liu Qingyun is taciturn, but Ouyang Zhenhua, who is honest in appearance, is the most active.
Before the boss could cook the noodles, Ouyang Zhenhua took out a crumpled copy of "Oriental Daily" and said mysteriously: "I heard that no, Kang Jianfei's new film wants to audition for the leading actor." ”
Wu Zhenyu filled a glass of beer and asked, "You don't want to audition, do you?" ”
"Why not? And it doesn't cost money, so it's better to try your luck. Ouyang Zhenhua asked Liu Qingyun, "Are you going?" ”
Liu Qingyun's dark face flashed a self-deprecating smile: "Do people want to make romance films, the heroine or Wang Guxian, do you think I may be selected as the leading actor?" Liu Qingyun glanced at Wu Zhenyu and said, "Among the three of us, Zhenyu has the greatest chance, and he is the most handsome." ”
Ouyang Zhenhua pointed to a line in the newspaper and said: "See, Kang Jianfei said that the actor should look ordinary, but he should not be too beautiful." ”
Wu Zhenyu shook his head: "Don't waste time, I haven't won the six/hectic lottery." ”
Ouyang Zhenhua looked at the two friends and encouraged: "You didn't want to become an instant hit? Even if it's not possible, you have to try it, there is still a little hope after trying, and if you don't try, you won't even have a chance. ”
Wu Zhenyu and Liu Qingyun were silent, who hasn't dreamed of becoming famous once as an actor? It's just a few years of career that shattered their original beautiful dreams. (To be continued.)
