Two more

It is said that because of the song "Until the End of the World", Chen Xiaotang is now red and purple, and many record companies and big-name music production companies in Hong Kong are "thinking" about him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info//Mix&/(None/pop-up window/full text)

Sixth Aunt Fang Yihua was also very happy, after all, Chen Xiaotang was the person she "cultivated" by herself.

"Ah Tang, I helped you see the conditions they offered, they are all very good, and even Sony Records promised to pay you a signing fee of 500,000 yuan first, and then give dividends according to sales after your record comes out, Sony has always been a big name, and has never opened conditions with such a low profile, I think, you can consider it." The sixth aunt analyzed.

Chen Xiaotang smiled, he said: "If this is another record company, I can still consider it, but as for Sony, it will be exempt!" ”

"Oh, why?" Sixth Aunt Fang Yihua was surprised, after all, this is a condition that no one can help but accept----- before you release a record, people will pay a signing fee of 500,000 yuan first, which is equivalent to picking it up for nothing.

Chen Xiaotang smiled faintly, and then said: "Because this company is a Japanese company!" ”

"Japanese company?" It is difficult for Fang Yihua to understand what Chen Xiaotang has to do with Japanese companies.

"Let's put it bluntly, Aunt Six; I don't have a lot of interest in those Japanese, whether you call me an angry young man, or a dizzy head, in short, I don't have a good impression of the Japanese, and I don't have any intention of joining the company they opened, that's all. Chen Xiaotang said bluntly.

Sixth Aunt Fang Yihua was stunned. You must know that for many Hong Kong singers and movie stars, they have always attached great importance to the foreign market of Japan. For example, Cheng Long, the eldest brother in the film industry, almost every one of his plays has been released well in Japan, so he also enjoys high popularity in Japan, and there are even Japanese women who cry to death for him and form "Cheng Long does not marry a group", which has also become a popular news in the film industry for a while; Another example is Mei Yanfang, the "Demon Queen of Hundred Changes", who succeeded in breaking through Dongying, which became famous in one fell swoop and achieved her reputation as the "Demon Queen" in the music world. Therefore, it can be said that as long as you are mixed in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, you will pay attention to markets like foreign cities in Japan.

In fact, Chen Xiaotang does not pay attention to the Japanese market, and if he can make money from here, who is not happy, it is best to make as much money as possible, and make small Japan poor. But he couldn't let him join a Japanese company and help them make money by releasing records.

His uncle, 500,000 yuan wants me to be a cow and a horse for you, no way!

After listening to Chen Xiaotang's explanation, Fang Yihua seemed to understand something, and no longer insisted on it, saying: "Then I'll help you look at other record companies......

"Actually, Aunt Six, there's no need to be in such a hurry to release a record, I need your help with one thing now!" As he spoke, Chen Xiaotang took out the movie script he wrote last night.

"Look, I want to shoot this play, and I'm going to be the director myself." Chen Xiaotang said what he thought.

After listening to Chen Xiaotang's words, Fang Yihua was stunned for a moment, but his expression immediately returned to normal, Chen Xiaotang had already surprised her too much, and it had already made her a little immune.

After taking a general look at the movie script of "Doomsday Danger", Fang Yihua said: "It is undeniable that this script is good, but unfortunately there are two points that are not suitable for filming, first, this story is a tragedy, and second, this drama belongs to the category of art films." ”

"Hong Kong people don't like tragic stories very much, which is why "The Wrong Car" became famous in Taiwan; The wave of the revival of Hong Kong literary films has basically passed, and now it is ----- Ah Tang, who is the leader of commercial films, I hope you can understand these two points. Fang Yihua said with concern, "What's more, you want to be the director of this play, you are good at acting and writing scripts, but you have never tried to be a director after all, even if you say you are confident, the company can't let you start the play." ”

Chen Xiaotang had expected that there would be trouble in this matter, after all, good things are hard to wear, and this has become a law.

"Aunt Six, I understand what you mean, but I really want to try it, after all, this is also my hard work!"

Fang Yihua sighed, she understood that for Chen Xiaotang, who is now popular, she can only use the best posture to win him over, and she must not dampen his enthusiasm.

So Fang Yihua thought of a compromise and said: "It's better like this, Ah Tang, I'll give you a chance, you write another TV script, and I'll let you hang the title of director, so that you can block some people's mouths, don't care about the problem of seniority, you can also direct this "Doomsday Danger" alone!" ”

"Hang the title of director?!" Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but be stunned.

You must know that the so-called "nominal director" is, to put it bluntly, under the overall command of the producer, learning how to film, for the producer, it is equivalent to an "apprentice".

Hong Kong is different from Hollywood, which pursues a "director system", and the "director" can restrain all actors, and even the "producer", which can be said to be extremely powerful. Hong Kong is different, where the "producer system" is pursued, and the power of the "producer" is unlimited, and it can not help but restrain the actors, but also the director, which is equivalent to the spokesperson of the investor. One sentence can remove the director, or put the director in the cold.

It is precisely because of this special system in Hong Kong that on the one hand, it has promoted the development of Hong Kong film quality, and on the other hand, it has also restricted the creative talent of directors, which can be said to have advantages and disadvantages. There are even many times when the producer and the director disagree, go their own way, and the intrigue makes the film difficult to deliver.

For example, when filming "God of Food" in his previous life, the producer was originally Li Lizhi, and Zhou Xingchi was the first director, but after the filming started, Zhou Xingchi continued to usurp power, making the drama develop in the direction he imagined, which made Li Lizhi, known as a comedy genius, very unhappy, and became the fuse for the two to part ways later.

In addition, when Huang Baiming was supervising the movie "Happy Magic", he originally wanted his best partner Ma Weihao to be the director of this play------ Ma Weihao once worked on the "Happy Ghost" series with him------ but before the start of filming, Ma Weihao put forward some different opinions, which were very different from Huang Baiming's plan, which caused Huang Baiming to temporarily remove the director and cheapen Ye Weixin.

It can be seen that the battle between the producer and the director has been going on for a long time, whether it is the producer's decision to win over the director, or the director's efforts to turn the tide and overwhelm the producer with a small broad, in short, it is not a good thing for a drama.

But in fact, basically one of the top directors in Hong Kong started as a nominal director, such as Du Qifeng, who used to be the "nominal director" of his master Wang Tianlin, and as for Cheng Xiaodong, he used to be the "nominal director" of the great director Xu Ke. With these bigwigs to protect them, even if they are not good, they will not smash the scene. On the contrary, if a play is successful, it will become famous immediately, and then it will be let go to be a "real director".

Now Fang Yihua made such a suggestion, it is not too much, after all, in a huge entertainment organization like wireless, although Chen Xiaotang is popular, his qualifications are not high, he has joined wireless for less than two years, and you have been a director for two years and started making movies, what does this make others think? Hang the title of "director", it's different to shoot a TV series first, how to say that a TV director is also a director, and then logically you can be a film director, and this is the reason for the success. Although this is a bit "formalistic" no matter how you look at it, it is the best choice right now.

Faced with such a suggestion, Chen Xiaotang immediately agreed.

Seeing Chen Xiaotang talking so well, Fang Yihua is indeed happy, after all, Fang Yihua has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and has met many artists who have not become popular, and some have become famous for acting in a play, singing a song and becoming popular, and then their nostrils are facing the sky, and they are very bullish stars, these people like to make some unreasonable demands, and even use the company as an ATM-----

Like Chen Xiaotang, but he is so humble and polite whenever and wherever he is, and never regards himself as a big-name artist, Fang Yihua likes it in his heart.

For this reason, she also made up her mind, no matter how bad Chen Xiaotang's movie "Doomsday Danger" was directed this time, she would try to persuade the sixth uncle Shao Tycoon to continue to give him a chance.

After the negotiation, Chen Xiaotang's main thing at this time is to watch what TV series to write. At this time, Fang Yihua proposed again: "The "Zhongshentong Wang Chongyang" you wrote is good, you can also shoot a fandom martial arts drama, you are familiar with the road, and it is easy to get started!" ”

"Jin Yong fandom martial arts drama?" Hearing Fang Yihua's reminder, Chen Xiaotang's eyes immediately lit up, yes, why didn't he think of it.

In his previous life, Chen Xiaotang watched a lot of Hong Kong dramas. The "Zhongshentong Wang Chongyang" written by him before is one of them, and the rest are "Sword and Demon Dugu Seeking Defeat" starring Huang Rihua, "Nine Yin True Scripture" starring Jiang David, and "Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar" starring Zheng Yijian, these are all Jinyong martial arts fandramas. But the question is, which one is better to shoot now?!

On the excitement of these three plays, Chen Xiaotang's first favorite is "Sword and Demon Dugu Seeking Defeat", on the acting skills of the actors in these three plays, Chen Xiaotang chose "Nine Yin True Scripture", when it comes to the majestic atmosphere of these three plays, he has to choose "Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar".

However, "Sword Demon" starring Huang Rihua, as one of the five tiger generals, Huang Rihua has been rehearsing a full schedule recently, and if he wants to take time to play "Dugu Seeking Defeat", he may have to wait until the beginning of spring next year, which is impossible for Chen Xiaotang to wait for no matter what.

The starring role of "Nine Yin True Scripture" is Jiang David, such a good character actor, originally a Shaw Brothers Xiaosheng, but now he plays for ATV, which is a rare trump card for ATV, since the filming of "Amber Green Dragon" last year, he has been highly praised, and it is a joke to want him to shoot this drama, unless you have an old relationship with ATV, you can seconded people, but ATV wireless is a sworn enemy, seconded people, is it possible? !

In the end, only "Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar" remained. There seems to be no choice. After thinking about it, Chen Xiaotang still decided to write this play, because this play needs two leading actors, and he happens to have such a candidate.

Who are these two actors?

Yam Tat-wah and Zhou Xingchi!!

It turns out that since the broadcast of the last drama "Zhongshentong", both of them have become popular to varying degrees, although they are not as popular as Chen Xiaotang, but they also have some fame.

Not to mention Zhou Xingchi, a "newcomer" to the tabula rasa, only Ren Dahua, an "old actor", before filming this drama, he was just familiar with the single supporting role in the TV series, and now he is more or less popular, so he is extremely grateful to Chen Xiaotang.

After all, it was because of Chen Xiaotang's recommendation that he won the role of the second male in this play.

Therefore, Chen Xiaotang believes that as long as he speaks, Ren Dahua and Zhou Xingchi will definitely look forward to themselves and join the filming of this drama, not to mention, this time let them be the leading actors!!

The actors, the script is roughly determined, who will be the producer?

You must know that this "producer" is actually the leader of this play. You can't just pick one person to replace you.

Ponder over. Chen Xiaotang proposed to Fang Yihua that Du Qifeng should direct this play.

The reason is very simple: first, Chen Xiaotang once learned to be a director and film more or less with Du Qifeng, although he is a director this time, he is also famous; second, Du Qifeng is very skilled in filming martial arts dramas, which can be seen just by looking at his "Shooting the Condor"; Third, and most importantly, Du Qifeng is now very popular, and it can be said that he is the first among the younger generation of directors. If he is allowed to supervise the production of this drama, the quality will be more guaranteed.

TVB has always paid attention to work efficiency, and sometimes a TV series can even be filmed in just ten days, which is unimaginable, but it is the case.

Therefore, as soon as Chen Xiaotang said the idea of his "Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar", Fang Yihua immediately made a decision and said: "Okay, it's decided, you can write the script, you can shoot and broadcast while writing, in short, it will not delay your time to direct the movie------

Chen Xiaotang is grateful, writing and filming and broadcasting, then he can start preparing his first movie immediately.

My future is not a dream!!

Chen Xiaotang shouted.

Seeing that Chen Xiaotang was happy, Fang Yihua took the opportunity to say: "By the way, Ah Tang, in three months, it will be the annual Academy Awards, if you shoot the movie in time, maybe you can catch up with the ...... election."

Chen Xiaotang is satisfied enough to be a director and make movies, where do you dare to hope that this drama will be selected for the Academy Statues, just kidding, is the Academy Awards so good?

Although he knew that this was Fang Yihua encouraging himself, Chen Xiaotang was still grateful: "Don't worry, Aunt Six, I will definitely work hard!" At least it won't make the company lose money! ”

"Hehe, if you say this, you will see the outside, although Shaw Brothers has always focused on shooting commercial films, but it is common to occasionally support literary films, as long as you are willing to be motivated, this is better than anything!" At this time, Fang Yihua already regarded Chen Xiaotang as a person around him. Between the words, it is even about the care of the nephew.

Of course, Chen Xiaotang understands this. However, for this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, he shook his head, he still didn't dare to have too much hope, unless, unless he really had to create a miracle.
