005: "Searching for Qin" serialized
The above belongs to Ling Donglai's inner thoughts, and he will not be stupid enough to say it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Even if he says it, Wang Tianlin, the director and producer of Big Fat Man, will not correct it. Because this is a TV series that is broadcast while shooting, I don't have so much time to carefully ponder the lens composition and light and shadow effects. In terms of money, the budget for such a shoot will increase significantly.
Shaw Brothers Pictures and TVB, whether they are making movies or TV series, have the same principle, that is-more, faster, better, and cheaper!
And this kind of production principle of more, faster, better, and more economical is also an important reason for the loneliness and even suspension of Shaw Brothers Pictures in the future. How do you want to make a good movie without spending money? How quick and easy to save is just a joke after all.
After the filming of a scene, Li Jiading shouted at Ling Donglai: "Ah Lai, come here!" ā
Waiting for Ling Donglai to run over, Li Jiading instructed: "You rushed towards Chu Liuxiang with a knife, made a very vicious appearance, and then waited for him to stab him with a sword, and immediately fell to the ground and died." After I died, I didn't hear the director shouting 'Click' and didn't get up, and continued to pretend to be a dead body on the ground, remember? ā
"Remembered." Ling Donglai didn't expect that his film and television career in this life would start from playing a dead corpse.
On the set of Clear Water Bay, martial arts films made by a big director like Zhang Che naturally need dragon and tiger martial artists. But TVB's serials are not so extravagant, basically using extras, and there are few specialized dragon and tiger martial artists to play action scenes.
A good dragon and tiger martial artist, a hundred yuan a day's salary. As for extras, with a maximum salary of 30 yuan a day, with the door-picking style of wireless stations, extras are naturally used to shoot TV series.
Therefore, although Li Jiading intended to accept Ling Donglai as an apprentice and follow him to do martial arts, during the filming of "Chu Liuxiang", Ling Donglai could only be an extra, pretending to be a dead corpse and pretending to be a passerby.
Of course, when Li Jiading was directing the action scenes, Ling Donglai could stand aside and steal the teacher, and sometimes Li Jiading would also give him a few words, which was also the main purpose of Ling Donglai to follow Li Jiading to learn from behind.
After a day's work, Ling Donglai went home, and at the same time as going upstairs to the corner, a girl rushed out of the corner recklessly, and directly collided with Ling Donglai.
"Ahh
The girl in her arms exclaimed, and Ling Donglai, who was hit, stood firmly in place, but she herself was bounced back and fell on her back.
"Be careful." Ling Donglai didn't think much about it, and pulled the girl back to stand up, only to find out at this time that the girl who bumped into him was the leaf lintel who had a relationship two days ago. Of course, now her name is still Ye Suqun.
"Are you alright?" Ling Donglai asked softly, he saw that Ye Zilin's eyes were red, and there were obvious traces of crying on his face.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. Ye Zilin rubbed his eyes, revealing a very reluctant smile: "I'm sorry Brother Ling, I didn't see you just now." ā
"It's okay." Ling Donglai smiled and asked with concern: "Ah Qun, what happened, why do you seem to be crying?" ā
"No......" Ye Zilin hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "My mother is sick." ā
"Aunt is sick, isn't it serious?"
"Ah Qun, what are you running around?" At this time, Ye Baoquan walked down from the upstairs, his spirit was obviously not very good, his messy hair showed his anxious mind at the moment, and when he saw Ling Donglai, he was stunned for a moment before nodding at Ling Donglai: "Ah Lai, you are also here." ā
"Uncle Ye, I heard that my aunt is sick." Ling Donglai asked, "Is it serious?" ā
"It's nothing, it's just too tiring, and the doctor said it's good to stay in the hospital and rest for a few days." After saying a word to Ling Dong, Ye Baoquan grabbed Ye Zilin and said, "Come home with me, you haven't done your homework yet!" ā
Ling Donglai didn't interfere, the affairs between the father and daughter's family are not something that he can meddle in, if it sounds good, he is a neighbor, and if it is unpleasant, he is an irrelevant stranger, and it is not a smart choice to meddle in other people's family affairs.
Unconsciously, Ling Donglai has been running on the set of Clear Water Bay for almost a week, and while learning experience from Li Jiading, Ling Donglai also got to know a few friends, such as Tang Zhenye, who is running tricks in the crew of "Chu Liuxiang" like himself, Huang Minyi, Ah Kun, the field worker of Chu Liuxiang's crew, and a large group of extras who are also eating in the crew.
As for stars such as director Wang Tianlin, as well as Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Mingquan, Zhao Yazhi and other stars, Ling Donglai didn't have much chance of contact, at most, when he helped get something, he greeted politely, barely leaving an image in front of them.
At the same time, Ling Donglai's novel "The Legend of Qin" finally arrived on Monday and began its serialization journey in the Oriental Daily.
Office of the Editor-in-Chief of Oriental Daily.
Xu Jixin has been very sad recently.
How can he get better?
"Oriental Daily" once had a daily sales of more than 150,000 copies, occupying the first place in Hong Kong.
However, after this, Oriental Daily suffered many disasters. The sales of the Oriental Daily fell again and again, and it was about to fall below 100,000 copies.
Although this is not Xu Jixin's reason, as the editor-in-chief of "Oriental Daily", Xu Jixin saw that "Oriental Daily" had fallen from the leading position of the Xiangjiang newspaper industry to the point of being suppressed by "Ming Pao", and he was also very disappointed, and he was full of apologies for Ma Xizhen, who was in prison far away on Taiwan Island.
Before leaving, the boss entrusted the "Oriental Daily" to him because he believed in him. Now, Oriental Daily can only struggle in the quagmire.
Knock knock knock......
"Come in."
It was the editor-in-chief Yun Bo who came in, he was holding the newspaper with a happy face, and it seemed that something good had happened.
"Editor-in-chief." Without waiting for Xu Jixin to ask, Yunbo was already happy with the newspaper in Yang's hand and said: "Editor-in-chief, all 110,000 copies of the newspaper have been sold out today!" ā
"All sold out?" Xu Jixin couldn't believe it
"It's true." Yun Bo said excitedly: "The response to "Xun Qin" was surprisingly good, and within three hours of the newspaper being sold, many readers called to ask about the novel. ā
"Good!" Although Xu Jixin's face remained calm, he had already stood up excitedly and picked up the newspaper and said: "You immediately go to Manager Yao of the distribution department now, and ask him to notify the printing house to print 5,000 copies immediately, and I will go to the general manager!" ā
At this time, in the general manager's office, Ma Chengkun was holding back his anger.
On his desk, a Ta Kung Pao was spread out.
"Hiding Dirt and Dirt, the Shame of the Press"
The bold big black font made Ma Chengkun unhappy as soon as he saw it.
This report was specifically aimed at scolding the "Oriental Daily," and the content of the scolding was basically concentrated on the Fengyue edition of the "Oriental Daily," saying that the "Oriental Daily" was unscrupulous and vulgar.
The Fengyue edition mentioned by Ta Kung Pao is actually one of the pages of the supplement of Oriental Daily, which is dedicated to some bright colors. Affair.
The meat scene in Ling Donglai's "Looking for Qin" is simply a pure little white flower compared to the content of the Fengyue edition of "Oriental Daily", so Xu Jixin had no worries about the Yanwen in "Looking for Qin" that day.
"Ta Kung Pao" has a mainland background, while "Oriental Daily" is pro-Taiwan, and the two newspapers are already-for-tat.
This time, due to the continuous decline in sales of the "Oriental Daily", in order to attract readers, the articles on the Fengyue edition are becoming more and more colorful. The outright sentiment immediately attracted criticism from Ta Kung Pao, and at the end of the article, it was even suggested that the Hong Kong government should suspend and rectify the Oriental Daily.
As soon as Ma Chengkun saw this kind of article, he was suffocated in his heart, and the sales of "Oriental Daily" reached the first place in Hong Kong two years ago, but as a result, his father and uncle had accidents one after another, and other newspapers beat up the water dogs, and all kinds of negative reports flocked to him, causing the sales of "Oriental Daily" to suffer one after another, and the sales volume of "Oriental Daily" was less than 100,000 copies a few days ago!
As the founder of the Oriental Daily, Ma Xiru was accused of smuggling 700 tons of opium into Hong Kong two years ago, and fled to Taiwan Island in embarrassment. Ma Xizhen was also charged with trafficking last year. Poison and bribery, abandoned bail and absconded to Taiwan Island, and is still in prison. The older generation of the Ma family is three. was born in the association, and after the incident, they all packed up and ran away, and "Oriental Daily" could only be handed over to Ma Chengkun and Ma Tingqiang, two cousins who were only 23 years old, to support.
In today's "Oriental Daily", Ma Chengkun controls the overall situation as the chairman and general manager, and his cousin Ma Tingqiang, who is the same age as him, is in charge of the newspaper's external affairs. Two twenty-three-year-old young men are in charge of a large newspaper, although they are full of momentum, but they have not enough experience and skills to support such a large newspaper.
It was Xu Jixin who came in. Ma Chengkun stood up and said enthusiastically: "Uncle Xu, please sit down, is there anything to find me?" ā
Xu Jixin raised the "Oriental Daily" in his hand and said happily: "Chairman, today's 110,000 copies of the newspaper have been sold out, and it seems that at least 120,000 copies will be printed tomorrow!" ā
"Really?" Ma Chengkun, who had just pretended to be sophisticated, immediately exposed his young and uncompromised nature, with excitement and joy on his face.
When Ma Chengkun took over the Oriental Ribao last year, the Ma family was in turmoil, the newspaper was scattered, and the newspaper's sales fell from 160,000 copies all the way to less than 100,000 last month. Just when Ma Chengkun couldn't hold it anymore, newspaper sales suddenly bottomed out, how can you tell him not to be excited?
