Chapter 47 Preparation for the crew

As soon as Yang Lin left, Fang Yihua, who was wearing gold-wire glasses, walked in. Seeing Shao Yifu lying on the table reading the script seriously, he said with some disgust: "You are really, I have these things, don't be too tired." She stepped forward, snatched the cigar from Shao Yifu's hand, extinguished it in the ashtray, and then reached out to clean up the script on the table.

"No, I'll take another look." Shao Yifu gently blocked her and said.

Fang Yihua was a little strange. In recent years, the older Shao Yifu has become, the more dependent he has on her, and he rarely rejects her, especially when he is advised to pay attention to his body. "What is this?" Fang Yihua was curious, and also leaned over to read Yang Lin's script.

"People on the Journey?" Fang Yihua only read a few lines and asked, "I saw Yang Lin here just now, was it the script he wrote?" ”

Shao Yifu was interrupted by her, and Suo didn't look at it. Leaned back in the chair and stretched, and said with a smile: "It's this kid who played a trick on me." "Briefly explain the situation just now.

"What is this called a cautious eye?" Fang Yihua looked at Shao Yifu with some amusement, stretched out his finger and tapped his forehead, and said affectionately: "It's you who are careful." Yang Lin's talent is there, and the songs he writes are popular every time, and "The Long Road Accompanies You" and "Remembering Your Kindness" are among the best on major charts. I've also read the script written for Ah Jing's kid, and it's very good. Now writing the script of a TV series, it's not bad. But you are just playing official, and you are still 'discussing and discussing', what are you discussing? Discuss with whom? If someone else worked so hard to write a script, if you forced it to someone else, would you be happy? It's normal to make a little trick. Besides, Alin is a young man who is honest and steady, and he doesn't have so many fancy intestines, is it that you misunderstood. ”

Fang Yihua had a very good impression of Yang Lin, and subconsciously helped him speak. How else to say that the "eye edge" thing is the strangest and most unreliable? Like a person, and hate a person, the most irrational surname. If you like a person, you like everything about him, and everything is pleasing to the eye. If you hate a person, you can't see anything, and it's not right to do anything.

"Then you say, do you want to give him this play?" When Shao Yifu said this, he knew that it was nonsense, and with Fang Yihua's perception of Yang Lin, he would definitely not vote against it.

Sure enough, Fang Yihua nodded and said: "Talents are cultivated, not picked up." Only the talents cultivated by ourselves can advance and retreat with us, without two hearts. Yang Lin is talented, but he still needs a Bole, help him, and give him a ride. When you make a difference in the future, he will be grateful to you and willing to help. ”

I have to say that these words simply went to Shao Yifu's heart. At any time, if you want to have a return, you must have to pay, as the so-called peach reciprocated with a favor, which is a matter of course. Shao Yifu nodded and said, "Okay, it's decided, this drama will be filmed by Yang Lin." Since he is a favor, he has to do enough, he will supervise the production, prepare the crew by himself, and give him the power to select the actors. ”

At this time, even Fang Yihua was a little stunned. For a play, whether it is a movie or a TV series, the producer is extremely important. A good TV series must have a good producer, and the producer is the soul of the whole show. In TV dramas produced by TVB, the important surname of the producer is equivalent to the director in the movie, and on the staff list of many TVB TV dramas, you can only see the name of the producer, and there is no director at all, because the director's work is done by the producer. From the planning of the series to the selection of actors, to the filming progress and other matters, the producer is in charge, which can be said to be in power.

Shao Yifu looked at Fang Yihua, who was surprised, and said with a smile: "Do you think it's a bit rash to put power to such a young boy?" ”

Fang Yihua nodded. She is optimistic about Yang Lin, but at the same time she is also the "behind-the-scenes director" of TVB. Her identity determines that she can't be emotional while promoting her juniors.

"Hehe," Shao Yifu smiled happily and said arrogantly: "Don't worry, I have a number." I roughly estimated that the investment in this drama is not large, and this kid is still very self-aware, and he is not too ambitious and extravagant. In addition to the actor's salary, an investment of 1.8 million yuan is almost enough. It's worth spending a million to train a promising newcomer. No matter what investment, there is a cost. ”

―――――――――――――― dividing line――――――――――――

Half an hour later, Yang Lin received a notice that he was appointed as the producer and director of the new play "People on the Journey", and immediately prepared the crew and selected the actors.

Yang Lin's first target was Du Qifeng and Wei Jiahui. For the two masterminds of the "Galactic Image" in the previous life, Yang Lin has long coveted it. In the past, Galaxy Imaging was the leading film production company in Hong Kong, and its requirements for quality have never been relaxed, and it has paid attention to strict cost and quality control, and is the first choice for many well-known film companies to commission production.

Du Qifeng was very happy that Yang Lin could be the first to find him, and at the same time, he was also a little surprised. Thinking about him, Du Qifeng has always been regarded as a leader in the new generation of wireless directors, and he is ambitious at a young age. But now, he was left behind by Yang Lin, who was younger than him.

He filmed his first film "Blue Water and Cold Mountain Killing Gold" in 80. Although the film received little response after its release, and many film companies invited him to make films at the time, Johnny To felt that he was not experienced enough and chose to return to TVB to continue filming TV dramas. Before and after, he worked TVB for ten years, and won the trust of Shao Yifu and Wang Tianlin, but he was only the "strongest" assistant director.

But he was open-minded, open-minded, and admired Yang Lin's ability very much, not only did he not feel resentment because of this, but recommended his junior brother Ju Jueliang to Yang Lin to be responsible for the overall work of the crew.

"Ju Jue Liang?" Yang Lin was stunned, this is also a character. When filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Ju Jueliang was one of the assistant directors, and sometimes even performed the work of executive director, and was also one of the choreographers and directors of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Ju Jueliang is the younger brother of Johnny To, the senior brother of the Wireless Five Tigers, and a student of the seventh session of the Hong Kong Wireless Artist Class in 1978. He is good at the production of martial arts dramas, and has directed a total of six Jin Yong works, namely: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", "The Condor Heroes", "The Book of Swords and Enmity" and "Dragon Babu". He is also one of the main cadres of the later "Galaxy Image", and his ability is beyond doubt. And this person's surname is low-key, and he is at peace with what he encounters, he is specifically responsible for coordinating the work in Galaxy Imaging, and it is not easy for a famous director to do the coordination work behind the scenes.

Du Qifeng takes great care of Ju Jueliang, a junior brother. This guy is not lacking in talent and ability, but he is too low-key, too indisputable, and not good at getting along with others. There are a lot of opportunities, all of them are fought for, if you don't fight, just wait for the opportunity to hit you? Now Yang Lin is second to none in terms of fame, talent, status and attention in TVB, and he is faintly a new director who is focused on training by TVB.

When he saw Yang Lin's expression, he thought that he was not familiar with Ju Jueliang's situation, after all, although the two of them were in the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Ju Jueliang was a little unsociable, and he really didn't have much contact. He strongly recommended: "This kid is my junior brother, he is very capable, but he is not very good at socializing, Ah Lin, you may not know him very well..."

Yang Lin interrupted him and said, "Ju Jueliang is very good, I know." Moreover, as long as it is the person recommended by Brother Feng, I have nothing to say, I believe you! ”

Trust is an indestructible knife, which can break through all the shells of a person's defenses, go straight to the softest place in the depths of the heart, and easily obtain a person's friendship.

Du Qifeng was very moved in his heart. This is Yang Lin's first play, whether he becomes a god or a demon, in one move. At such a critical time, what else can you say to give yourself such trust? Go to the soup and fight the fire, just stick a knife in both ribs.

The two went to find Wei Jiahui together, and happened to meet Wang Tianlin on the way.

Wang Tianlin has a big belly, and the flesh on his body trembles when he walks, like a mountain of moving meat. There is also a person who walks with him, who is not tall and round, and contrasts with Wang Tianlin. This man was thirty or forty years old, with a round face and white tenderness, a little shallow eyebrows, deep eye sockets, very bright eyes, and a polite smile.

Wang Tianlin saw Yang Lin from a distance, and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha: "Ah Lin, Ah Feng, why are you two going?" ”

Wang Tianlin is Du Qifeng's teacher, and he has more knowledge of Yang Lin, the two of them respectfully hung their hands to the side, Du Qifeng smiled: "This is not Alin Rong's director, opened a new play, let's go to Wei Xiaobao for help." ”

"Huh, so fast?" Wang Tianlin was a little surprised, and immediately patted Yang Lin on the shoulder, and encouraged: "Boy, do a good job!" If there is any difficulty, just speak, I can help the old man, and I will never shirk. ”

Yang Lin was grateful from the bottom of his heart: "It's still thanks to Uncle Tianlin's support." ”

"At a young age, where do you get so many polite words?" Wang Tianlin pretended to be unhappy: "Besides, who do you think Tycoon Shao is?" If you don't have the ability, no one can let him use his career to give favors. Speaking of this, he paused and asked, "How is the crew preparing?" It's the first time to read the power of the producer, a lot of difficulties, right? ”

"It's not too difficult, it's just that everything else is easy to say, but I'm not too familiar with the personnel of our wireless departments, and I don't know who is more suitable in each position of this play." Yang Lin said truthfully. The shooting of a film or TV series, producer, director, co-ordinator, camera, editing, art design, etc., each has its own duties, and the performance of each aspect can directly affect the quality of the work.

"People on the Journey" is Yang Lin's first drama on TVB, and it must be an instant hit, lay a solid foundation for the future, and make those who are not optimistic about him completely shut up. The plot of the story has already been tested in the previous life, and with the reprocessing of Yang Lin, it has added a lot of highlights, and there will be no problems. decided that Deng Lijun would sing the theme song, which has already made this drama popular before filming, and its influence has greatly increased. All that's left is to assemble a first-class crew, recruit outstanding talents in all aspects, and then select a perfect cast that will be successful in the future.

"So?" Wang Tianlin thought for a while, then turned his head to the fat man next to him and said, "Ah Sheng, how is it, are you interested in doing a part-time job?" ”

The fat man had been smiling and watching, and when he heard Wang Tianlin's words, he smiled and said, "Of course I can't ask for it to partner with these two rising stars of TVB." I just don't know if Yang Da Producer, can he look down on me as a fat man? "This man is soft-spoken, and has a good temper.

Wang Tianlin said with a smile: "Don't dare to say anything else, these two boys will never dare to discriminate against fat people, otherwise I want them to look good." He turned his head to Yang Lin and said, "This is Pan Hengsheng, a very powerful photographer, who is definitely capable of your play." ”

I'm picking! Pan Hengsheng? That is one of the top directors of photography in Hong Kong, except for the "godfather of photography" Huang Yuetai, he is amazing. In 1984, he was shortlisted for the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Cannes Film Festival with Yan Hao's "The Year of Flowing Water", which was an instant hit. Later, he collaborated with many well-known directors, such as "Sword and Horse" directed by Tsui Hark, "A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by Cheng Xiaodong, "Across the Seas" directed by John Woo, "Journey to the West" directed by Liu Zhenwei, "Ip Man 2" directed by Ip Wai Shun, and "Yangtze River No. 7" and "Kung Fu" directed by Stephen Chow. Definitely a super bull character.

Now it seems that he is not so famous, and he has not yet produced "The Year of Water" with Yan Hao, and it is a good time to get a big snare on the matter! Hurriedly stepped forward, held Pan Hengsheng's hand tightly, and shook enthusiastically: "Hello, hello, my name is Yang Lin, and my brother can call me Ah Lin." I've admired your name for a long time, and now I see it, it's really a blessing for three lives! ”

The fat man Pan Hengsheng had a chill, and said in his heart that this kid was too enthusiastic, right? smiled a little unnaturally: "Haha, I have won awards." Director Yang, I have long heard of your name, the long shot at the beginning of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is simply a classic among the classics, I don't know how many Xiangjiang directors are refreshing and have benefited a lot! ”

Wang Tianlin said impatiently: "You two guys don't praise each other here, this is so decided, Ah Sheng and I still have something to do, go first." As he spoke, he pulled Pan Hengsheng, and the two fat men, one big and one small, walked away "swaying and colorful".

Although Pan Hengsheng said that he did not have the reputation of later generations, and his level was afraid that it would be difficult to reach that height, but for a TV series, he was competent enough. Yang Lin has a feeling of picking up a treasure, and his luck is really good!

found Wei Jiahui, and as soon as he said it, Wei Jiahui readily agreed to be the crew of "People on the Journey". Wei Jiahui is now a screenwriter of Wireless, but Yang Lin knows his production ability very well, and he can definitely make the crew run more smoothly.

Now, the producer, director, executive director, coordinator, drama management, and cinematographer are all in place, and the crew has completed most of it, and it can be officially run as long as one more art design is added. As for the modeling and costumes, Yang Lin didn't plan to let others do it at all, because with his redefinition of this play, in this era, few people can meet his requirements.

The three of them took the hot iron and decided to choose the actors immediately.
