PS: (I've been in the palace for a long time, and I'm only out of the palace now, so I seem to be a little sorry for everyone'~~~~~~)

Recently, Huang Baiming has been worrying about the drama "If the Wine Sells Nothing".

The success of Xinyicheng started with comedy, but as a famous screenwriter, he has a common problem and likes to find breakthroughs. Therefore, Huang Baiming really wants to try to make a tragedy for Xinyicheng to film.

The script came out quickly, telling the story of a bridal guy and an abandoned baby. But tragic shooting, Xinyi City has never played it, no one is doing it, and Mecca thinks that these crying movies will not be popular with the audience, so the shooting plan has to be shelved.

coincided with the opening of the Taiwan branch of New Arts City, and sent a script to Huang Baiming for review. The play, titled "The Wrong Car", depicts a group of people who took the wrong bus from Taipei to Kaohsiung, and a lot of nonsense happened in the car.

After reading this script, Huang Baiming felt bored, so he vetoed the start of filming of this scene.

As the director of Taiwan, Zhang Aijia originally took the money and didn't work, and felt embarrassed, but at this time, when she saw that the headquarters vetoed the only drama that the Taiwan branch started filming this year, she was immediately unhappy, and said secretly: My Taiwan is also a branch of Xinyicheng, why can't I even start filming a drama?

Zhang Aijia immediately went to the Hong Kong headquarters of New Arts City from the Taiwan branch, blocked Huang Baiming's door, and said loudly: "The staff of "The Wrong Car" has been invited, and the director Yu Kanping is also ready to bury the position, but now that the script has been rejected, what should I do?" Today, if you don't give me an explanation, I won't be able to go back to explain the work of the director of Taiwan. I'm not uncommon to do it, whoever likes it will take it! ”

Although Zhang Aijia is a woman, she is a person of temperament. With manly righteousness in her heart, she felt that a large number of people were waiting to start the drama to live, and suddenly said that if she didn't shoot, she wouldn't shoot, which was irresponsible.

Huang Baiming found out that Zhang Aijia came to block the door, and he had a headache, and said with a dry smile: "Those people in Taiwan will obey you, and you won't be the director anymore." Aren't they rebelling? ”

is easy to say, but Zhang Aijia is not an easy person to be dismissed, she is like a door god at the door. stared at Huang Baiming with beautiful eyes, staring straight at Huang Baiming, and had a posture of not leaving without giving an explanation.

Huang Baiming explained bitterly: "The script you sent, even I feel bored when I read it. And how can you impress the audience? If you guys have a good script. I'm here for you! ”

Zhang Aijia was angry, and said in her heart: "You are a famous screenwriter, how many scripts can you see?" It's a pretty good script. But she didn't know how to open her mouth for a while, she couldn't say, everyone was waiting for the show to eat, and then it would be a little bit of a shoot.

And Huang Baiming, who was worried about how to persuade this Zhang Xiaomei, inadvertently caught a glimpse of his own script that had been shelved. Immediately, he had an idea and said: "Or you can ask the director to film my story of buying and abandoning babies!" "Between words. has grabbed the script and handed it to Zhang Aijia's hand.

"But the director wants to make a comedy!" Zhang Aijia asked suspiciously, she flipped through the script, and knew that it was a tearjerker just by looking at the bridge.

"Tell him to try to make a tragedy!" Huang Baiming said with a smile, with a sure look on his face that he believed that I was right, "When did the script I wrote disappoint you?" Listen to me, shoot this! ”

Zhang Aijia was skeptical and said: "Okay, just listen to you, if there is any problem in the shooting, I will have to solve it with you." ”

Because Huang Baiming's Chinese is not very bright, Zhang Aijia found a young screenwriter from Taiwan to rewrite the script in order to conform to Taiwan's customs. This script was originally written as an ethical tragedy, but it was changed by a Taiwanese screenwriter and became unrecognizable, and it was born into a patriotic political propaganda film. When he sent it to Huang Baiming to look at, he almost vomited blood in anger.

Huang Baiming thought that the young man was too enthusiastic, so he found an old and serious screenwriter to rewrite the script, but the script written by the old screenwriter was a ton of dialogue, very old-fashioned, like a broadcast drama. The director was very dissatisfied after watching it, Zhang Aijia was not satisfied, and Huang Baiming was even more dissatisfied.

Zhang Aijia made a long-distance call and gave Huang Baiming an "ultimatum": "The director and staff can't wait any longer, you can write it yourself!" ”

Huang Baiming was dumbfounded, my Chinese is not smart, how to write dialogue, isn't this a duck on the shelf? After receiving this hot potato, Huang Baiming had to write it head-on, but he had a good brain and talent, and by deleting and polishing the script of the old screenwriter, he actually created a high-quality script within 48 hours.

came and went, and the time dragged on to March of 83, and this difficult Taiwanese drama was finally put on the agenda to start filming.

As the other two of the three giants of the New Arts City, although Mecca and Shi Tian did not object to the Taiwan branch to try to shoot this film, they did not take special care of the production funds, and only approved 1 million Hong Kong dollars to test the waters. Don't think that one million Hong Kong dollars is a lot, in fact, this is a year's shooting budget of the Taiwan branch, and you can shoot a small-budget production.

After more than ten days of filming with makeup, Huang Baiming, as the producer of this film, had to call it off.

This film is a song and dance film, and a lot of songs are needed in the play, and the heroine Liu Ruiqi is not a singer, so she has to find a behind-the-scenes singer. Director Yu Huanping happened to see a female singer singing English songs on the screen, and her singing skills were very good.

Director Yu decided to find her to be a backstage singer. However, at that time, no record company in Taiwan was willing to release records for her, and even Hong Kong was not interested in this area. The reason is that she released a record a few years ago, but unfortunately it was not successful.

"Now, we can only plan for the worst, or change the heroine, right? Change to someone who can sing. Zhang Aijia pondered for a while and proposed, "What do you think of Mei Yunfang and Ye Qianwen?" I've listened to their songs, and they're very good at singing. Or Lu Xiuling is okay, but the salary is a lot higher. ”

Zhang Aijia is a very talented musician herself, and her level of appreciation is beyond doubt. Whether it is Mei Yunfang, Ye Qianwen, or Lu Xiuling, they are all at the right age, they are all good at singing, and they take the path of innocence in the typhoon. These three girls can completely replace Liu Ruiqi to play the role of Ami.

As soon as Zhang Aijia's words were finished, they were rejected by Huang Baiming and Yu Kanping in unison: "No! ”

Huang Baiming said: "Mei Yunfang is too glamorous, Ye Qianwen is too foreign, and Lu Xiuling's appearance is suitable, but her temperament is dignified and beautiful, which is incompatible with the sweet innocence of the heroine's youthful jade girl." Besides, if you change the heroine, you have to tear down and start over, and reshoot a lot of shots, which will definitely overdraft the budget. If I had to choose, I'd rather have another behind-the-scenes singer. ”

Yu Kanping suddenly became anxious and argued: "No! In this play, only Su Ji can sing true feelings, you can change anyone, but you can't change her! ”

In the face of Yu Kanping's insistence, Huang Baiming and Zhang Aijia were completely out of line, and they were collectively silent for a while, but Zhang Aijia still had more ideas, and she proposed: "Why don't we allocate one million Taiwan dollars from the production fee to make records?" The lyrics and songs in it, I can find friends to create friendships. ”

"The annual funding of our Taiwan branch is only one million Hong Kong dollars, which is enough to squeeze out some of the records, and then squeeze out some of them to fill records, wouldn't this shooting and post-production have to cut corners and save money as much as possible? It's not worth the cost! Although Huang Baiming likes to shoot small-budget movies and writes down accounts on the production budget, this does not mean that he can accept shoddy production.

Yu Kanping nodded and said: "The production funds have always only been increased, how can there be any reason to delete!" According to me, you two should talk to the Hong Kong side and see if you can increase the budget. ”

Huang Baiming smiled wryly and said to himself: If I can find money from Hong Kong, I still need to worry about it here!

In fact, in the production of this drama, the other two giants of Xinyicheng, Mecca and Shi Tian, did not agree with it, but it was not easy to oppose it clearly, so they waited for Huang Baiming to fall at the box office and smashed their own golden signboard. However, this involves a power struggle within the company, and although Huang Baiming knows it, he can't announce it to the public, which is simply incomprehensible.

As a friend, Zhang Aijia saw Huang Baiming's difficulties, and proposed a way to solve the siege for him: "Baiming, Kanping, I know a friend, his industry is preparing to do this, maybe he can help." ”

"Do you still have such friends? It's good to make an appointment and get to know each other. ”

Huang Baiming was surprised, Zhang Aijia's circle of friends is basically his circle of friends, people who have a little friendship, who is in what industry, he is still very clear. If it is only for the production of records, Huang Baiming is not short of this money at all, and he likes to make friends, is righteous enough, and there are still many people who are willing to help him.

But this is not what Huang Baiming wants, he believes that making movies is like investing in business, and when it comes to this drama and this investment, recording is an indispensable component. What he is looking for is investment, not righteous help, but what he pays attention to is your love and my willingness, and mutual benefits.

"If you don't mind, Aijia, can you tell me about your friend?"

"Zhang Shaoping, you should have seen his ......"

"He?" Huang Baiming was quite surprised.

"Hey, listening to your tone, could it be that you still have a friendship? That's easy to do. ”

"I guess there was a one-sided relationship." Huang Baiming asked puzzled, "But, if I'm not mistaken, he should be making costumes and catering, okay, I admit that his clothing company has provided a lot of costume designs for the entertainment industry, but this doesn't seem to be the same as making records, right?" ”

Zhang Aijia said with a smile: "You don't know this, he is tinkering with a video rental chain company, which needs a large amount of source inventory. Records are also a kind of film source, and I think he should be quite happy to ask him to make a record. ”

Huang Baiming was speechless, although the record and the film have the same word, but the two are really different, just like wild horses and seahorses, can they be the same species?

Zhang Aijia looked at Huang Baiming with a stunned expression, and she said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, you talk, do you want to go to find someone?" ”

"Go! Why not go? Even if Zhang Shaoping has no ideas, I have the ability to fool him out of ideas! Huang Baiming stood up with a shrewd expression, "However, before that, I still have to find someone to help blow the wind on the pillow." (To be continued......)
