Chapter 257: Happy Ghost Boots

On April 5, 1983, the day of the start of "Happy Ghost", as the producer, Ye Tian personally attended the scene and presided over the worship ceremony, the purpose was to boost the morale of the crew.

Although the script of "Happy Ghost" was written by Ye Tian, but this story has another source, Ye Tian took a lot of effort to find it, the story was inspired by a one-act play on a stage, it was a drama competition for middle school students, the one-act play was called "Zhu Xiucai", the whole performance was in the broken temple, it was the story of a hanging neck ghost and three female students, and this one-act play also won the championship of the middle school student drama competition, the screenwriter and director of "Zhu Xiucai" is the famous Ma Weihao, of course, Ma Weihao is still an inconspicuous newcomer, Ye Tian bought the copyright of "Zhu Xiucai" from Ma Weihao under the pretext that the story was interesting.

When "Zhu Xiucai" was adapted into "Happy Ghost", a lot of elements were added, making it a youth campus film, the three heroines Anita Mui, Li Saifeng, Zhou Huimin, and even the director is new, Ye Tian just wants to give the audience a new feeling.

"Zhang Guorong, it's your turn!"

"Oh!"

Ye Tianguaner, yes, the actor of "Happy Ghost" is Zhang Guorong, the future superstar is a little stunned, the actor of the original "Happy Ghost" is Huang Baiming, the other party is a giant of New Art City, naturally he will not help Oriental Entertainment make movies, Ye Tian chose Zhang Guorong.

Zhang Guorong was born in Hong Kong, there are ten brothers and sisters in the family, Leslie Cheung is the youngest one, so some people call him Shizai, Zhang Guorong's father is the tailor and owner of the Hong Kong dress shop, Ma Long. Brando, Hitchcock, Gary. Grant and other Hollywood stars are customers of this tailor shop, in childhood, Zhang Guorong's family conditions are very good, in 1969, Zhang Guorong went to study in the UK alone, after graduating from middle school. He was admitted to the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom to study textiles, and when he was in his first year of college, his father suddenly suffered a stroke, and Zhang Guorong returned to Hong Kong, and his studies were interrupted.

In 1977, Zhang Guorong won the "Overseas Chinese Daily" Most Promising Newcomer Award, and at the same time joined Li's TV station, which is now Asia TV, last month Zhang Guorong joined Oriental Records, which is why Ye Tian chose Zhang Guorong as the leading actor.

After worshipping God. Producer Zeng Zhiwei quarreled with the director again, Ye Tian frowned, there was a conflict on the first day, it is really not a good sign, the director of the film is the newcomer Gao Zhisen, this director Gao jumped from Xinyi City, a very famous director in the future, but now Gao Zhisen is just a newcomer, and it is really not enough to see in front of Zeng Zhiwei.

"You're spending too much money like that. The budget is only 800,000! ”

"I think it's better to shoot like this."

"What's better, it's good that you're in charge of shooting, don't worry about anything else!" Zeng Zhiwei's tone was arbitrary, this is a habit developed in Xinyi City. As long as the company determines the script, the director cannot change it without authorization, otherwise he will be replaced, in Zeng Zhiwei's opinion. Gao Zhisen used to be a person from Xinyi City, and he should understand this rule.

Gao Zhisen insisted: "No, there are too many loopholes in this way." ”

Zeng Zhiwei argued: "Do you know how much it costs to rearrange the site. How long will it take? ”

Ye Tian walked over and frowned: "What's the matter, you quarrel in front of so many people, can you still take care of the overall situation?" ”

A director, a producer, are the soul of the crew, can dominate the joys and sorrows of the entire crew, and in the eyes of others, they are unattainable, but Ye Tian does not care about these, in his eyes, Zeng Zhiwei and Gao Zhisen are small people, as soon as he opened his mouth, the two of them stood in front of him like schoolchildren who made mistakes.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Mr. Ye, if Director Gao wants to rearrange the set, he will have to delay at least half a day and spend so much money, isn't this nonsense." Zeng Zhiwei spoke first, accusing Gao Zhisen of misconduct, this drama was originally filmed by him, and he killed Gao Zhisen, a newcomer, halfway.

Gao Zhisen's face turned red, and Zeng Zhiwei clearly accused him of spending money indiscriminately.

"Why rearrange the set?" Ye Tian looked at Gao Zhisen, the so-called set is just a gloomy old house, there are not many situations, most of the shots are filmed on campus, and it is indeed inappropriate to waste money here.

Gao Zhisen explained in a low voice: "I think the buildings here are too modern, and there are tiles on the walls, which looks like a modern society, which does not match the theme of the film." ”

Zeng Zhiwei scoffed, very disapproving, suddenly a gust of wind blew, Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help but shudder, swallowed back the rebuttal, and thought weirdly in his heart, what the hell, now it looks much more gloomy.

Ye Tian was also very uncomfortable, and frowned: "Who chose here?" ”

Zeng Zhiwei hesitated: "It's me, it's the closest to the beach, it's quite suitable for shooting." ”

Ye Tian said lightly: "Do it according to Director Gao's requirements, send someone to inquire nearby, why is this deserted, the temperature outside is so high, why is it cold as soon as you come in, and it always feels wrong?" ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away!" Zeng Zhiwei nodded in agreement, and Ye Tian's words went to his heart.

Gao Zhisen said with a smile: "Abandoned houses are like this, commonly known as yin qi, let's leave after filming a scene, it should be fine." ”

"Hmm!"

Ye Tian didn't want to stay here longer, and motioned to Gao Zhisen to find someone to set up the set, and sneaked outside, Hong Kong belongs to the subtropical monsoon climate, although it is April, but the temperature is generally above 20 degrees, and today it has reached 27 degrees, Anita Mui, Zhou Huimin, Li Saifeng also took off their coats, and the relationship was harmonious, and the heroine Li Lizhen joined later, obviously a little unsociable, and whispered to another student actor Xiaohui.

"Aren't you cold?"

Mei Yanfang ran over with a grin, hugged Ye Tian's arm and said, "We were discussing swimming in the sea just now!" ”

Zhou Huimin was not so open, standing beside Ye Tian stiffly, glancing at Anita Mui with envy, she also wanted to learn from Anita Mui to be so unrestrained, Ye Tian put a hand on her shoulder, Zhou Huimin felt a stir, and moved closer to Ye Tian.

Not far away, Zhang Guorong was looking down at it, thinking something, Ye Tian smiled: "What is that little brother doing?" ”

Mei Yanfang smiled: "Ten boys are memorizing lines." ”

Click!

The sound of the camera shutter, Ye Tian, Mei Yanfang, and Zhou Huimin's posture were secretly photographed by Li Saifeng.

"Take another shot!" Anita Mui jumped up excitedly, stood on tiptoe and put her head on Ye Tian's shoulder, making a gesture.

Click!

Mui Yanfang kept changing her posture, and the last time she actually climbed onto Ye Tian's back, Li Saifeng took three photos with a smile, handed the camera to Zhou Huimin, and said excitedly: "It's my turn, Xiaomin, you take pictures!" ”

"Oh!"

Zhou Huimin took two photos, Ye Tian couldn't resist it, he thought that Li Saifeng would be reserved, and he could play better than Anita Mui, the more he played, the more ambiguous his posture became, and in less than half a minute, his cheek had been kissed three times.

"Okay, that's pretty much it, stop making trouble!" Ye Tian put down the two little beauties on his body, they were too green.

Seeing the crew rearrange the set, Anita Mui was puzzled: "Brother, the director seems to be dissatisfied with the scene, is it still on today?" ”

Ye Tiandao: "Start the film in the afternoon, the temperature is high at that time, and strive to finish the beach scene at one time." ”

Li Saifeng smiled: "I still want to play at the beach for a few more days." ”

Ye Tiandao: "Come back when you have time in the future." ”

Zhou Huimin returned the camera to Li Saifeng, she couldn't be happy at all when she saw Li Saifeng and Anita Mui playing like that just now.

Li Saifeng smiled and took two more photos, she can take pictures of Ye Tian openly and secretly, the opportunity is rare, Li Saifeng is not for fun, these photos are her capital to show off in the future, and those friends in the stage must be envious to death.

Ye Tian said: "You should learn from Shizai, see how hard people work, and then look at you, be careful when NG is scolded by the director." ”

Li Saifengjiao said with a smile: "The director is very kind, he won't scold, the producer has lustful eyes, and he won't scold us." ”

Despite saying this, Anita Mui, Zhou Huimin, and Li Saifeng still ran over to get the script, passed by Zhang Guorong's side, and didn't forget to make fun of it.

"Ahem!"

Ye Tian came over to relieve the siege, and the more he looked at Zhang Guorong, the more interesting he felt, and said with a smile: "Shizai, don't put too much pressure on yourself." ”

Zhang Guorong said shyly: "I should do my best to be lucky enough to star in Mr. Ye's film." ”

Although Zhang Guorong debuted very early, the early development was not smooth, he starred in more than a dozen TV series, and made as many as seven movies, but none of them satisfied him, but an early film made him have a psychological shadow, when he received the film contract, he would read the contract and script very carefully, and the moment he received "Happy Ghost", he was so excited that his hands trembled, and he couldn't even write well, Ye Tian's movie was too brilliant, just like Xu Guanwen in the seventies.

Ye Tian praised: "I like your attitude, after the filming of this film, sign a contract with the company." ”

Zhang Guorong was pleasantly surprised: "Mr. Ye, can I sign a contract with the company?" ”

Ye Tian patted the future superstar on the shoulder: "Shizai, work hard, I'm optimistic about you!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Ye!"

Zhang Guorong bowed and thanked him, feeling that he had met a nobleman, and his excitement was overflowing, which made Ye Tian laugh for a while, even if there was no him, today would be a bumper year for Zhang Guorong, the record was on fire, and his fame was growing.

In the afternoon, after eating the boxed lunch, the set was still in the 'decoration', Ye Tian ordered "Happy Ghost" to start, first shoot the scene where Anita Mui, Zhou Huimin, Li Saifeng and others played at the beach, the young girl played in the water, forgot the lines, and all starred in their true colors, Ye Tian in the palm realm did not mean NG, he felt that the effect was better, and he edited a paragraph from the filmed picture at that time.
