189: A different Andy

On the TVB set, a group of people are busy in an orderly manner, and a crew of dozens of people is rushing to produce a night scene.

Over and over again, one after another, the actors, the crew members, their faces were full of exhaustion.

But as long as the director doesn't say it, they can't completely relax.

The only thing you can do is to take a good rest for a few minutes after the filming of a scene, while the next scene has not yet started.

"Damn, what kind of bullshit is filming?" A fat man sat in the director's chair, looked at the shot he had just shot, and scolded angrily with dissatisfaction.

The entire crew lowered their heads, and no one dared to show their majesty at this time.

The director swears? Just scold it, who in the entire crew hasn't been scolded by the director?

Look at those old people in the company, who were scolded by the director at the time when they were young, and now they finally get out of the mix, and they are not scolded by the current director?

Anyway, a piece of meat is indispensable, at most it is just a couple of words.

"When I brought the script, I still didn't believe it." After scolding, the fat man seemed to be still angry and yelled at the assistant director.

How can the assistant director who has been waiting on the side not know what the director is going to do? This is almost the tradition of the film and television industry in Hong Kong.

Obviously, what the director wants to do now is what the entire Xiangjiang director will do, and it is often done.

Revise the script.

When a shot is never satisfactory to the director, the script is often revised to integrate the actor's own characteristics and make the shot look less awkward.

A major feature of the Hong Kong film and television industry is that it is now filmed and edited. Every crew. There will be a full-time screenwriter, as well as a moderate amount of support staff.

And in Xiangjiang, a TV series before the start of filming. It's hard to see the full script.

There are even times when the script you get today is what the screenwriter wrote yesterday.

Of course, this is just something that some big-name screenwriters do.

Under normal circumstances, before filming starts, the screenwriter will complete more than half of the script in advance, and write the rest while shooting. And according to the director's requirements, make corresponding changes.

The fat director is a screenwriter and has created a TV series with high ratings in Xiangjiang. So in the screenwriting industry, there is still a certain strength.

After filming a few times and still not satisfying him, the fat director directly decided to revise the script. Because he didn't have time to delay any longer.

Xiangjiang's TV dramas are filmed and broadcast at the same time, and the filming time is strictly limited. It is not possible to complete the shooting within the specified time.

"Let's take a break. Andy, let's go see if the takeaway is coming. The director instructed a young actor who had just sat down on the floor to rest.

"Okay, Director Li, I'll go now." Andy smiled tiredly, and then quickly stood up and dragged his tired body towards the door.

Tired? So what?

I am in my early thirties, and I have passed the age of standing.

I have been in this industry for nearly ten years, and I am a contemporary. Either they have become big names, or they have changed careers.

I am undoubtedly a failure in this industry. It's been ten years, and now his status in the company is not as good as that of the crew.

Maybe in their eyes, the old men of the crew still have technology in their hands. What do you have? If it weren't for this contract, I'm afraid they wouldn't have bothered to look at themselves.

In one month, the contract will come to an end.

The company still has no plans to renew the contract, if it weren't for the last bit of value on itself, I'm afraid it would have driven itself away long ago.

And Andy is a person who is unwilling to admit defeat, although it is certain that he will leave after the filming of this drama.

But Andy never gave up, although he was only a supporting role in this play, he played this role as the leading role.

For Andy, this is his last chance. Whether you can do it in your favorite industry in the future depends on this time.

After coming to the door, Andy looked around and found no shadow of the delivery.

So I wanted to wait here for a while, although I was very tired, but I couldn't relax, even in Andy, who was waiting for takeaway, he was still rehearsing his role.

A few minutes later, the takeaway was delivered, and at this time, Wang Luo had just arrived, and he just recognized Andy who was taking the takeaway at a glance.

"Three thousand five hundred!" The takeaway guy picked up four bags of boxed lunches from the car, handed the list to Andy, and said.

"Okay, let's swipe the card." Andy nodded.

It's not the first time he's done this kind of thing, anyway, there is a list, whoever pays it is the same, and when he goes back, he will give the list to the director of drama, and then he will call himself the money.

However, after touching his body for a while, Andy did not find his wallet, and then he remembered that he had overslept this morning, and after getting up, he took a piece of clothing and rushed to the set, but left his wallet at home.

At this time, the takeaway brother had already taken out the credit card machine, waiting for Andy to take out the bank card.

Andy, who looked embarrassed, was depressed and wanted to explain.

"Swipe my card." Wang Luo suddenly walked over and handed his bank card to the takeaway brother.

The takeaway brother is not so hypocritical, it doesn't matter whose card he swipes, as long as someone pays.

In a few seconds, the takeaway brother got the credit card, returned the bank card to Wang Luo, and handed over the card swiping record to Wang Luo.

"Thanks, I'll pay you back later. Stay on the card number or follow me to the crew? Andy held four bags of takeaway in both hands and thanked Wang Luo.

Andy, who is busy working all day, feels that he doesn't even have enough time to sleep.

So there is no extra time to care about the outside world, he doesn't know Wang Luo at all, although he has stopped Wang Luo's songs, and he likes Wang Luo more.

And at this time, Andy was able to stand up and pay for him, Andy also mistook it for someone from the company.

"No need, I'm here to find you, do you have time to talk?" Wang Luo smiled slightly and explained.

"Looking for me? Mainlanders? Andy frowned, and as soon as Wang Luo opened his mouth, he heard that Wang Luo was from the mainland. looked at Wang Luo suspiciously.

Although the company also has mainlanders, there are not many of them.

Looking at Wang Luo's dress, he doesn't look like a horse boy. But those who are famous have also seen it, and there is no such person as Wang Luo in their impressions.

In addition, the other party came to find him, which made Andy very puzzled.

"Well, I just came from Tianjing." Wang Luo nodded and said.

"Hey, Andy, why did it take so long to get a takeaway? The director was a little angry. Didn't wait for Andy to answer. A figure in the distance shouted loudly at Andy.

"It's coming!" Andy also responded loudly.

immediately looked at Wang Luo, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry to ......"

"It's okay, you go get busy first. I'll wait for you. Wang Luo said with a smile.

"Okay, it will take about one to two hours on my side, how can I contact you when I finish work?" Andy asked sincerely.

Wang Luo stretched out his hand and pointed to the car parked on the side of the street, and said, "Just look for me in that car." ”

On the way back to the crew. Andy kept searching for Wang Luo's impression in his mind. I want to find some memories of Wang Luo.

But I was very helpless, until Andy returned to the crew, he still didn't think of anything about Wang Luo.

Even now, Andy still doesn't know who Wang Luo is?

Not to mention guessing the reason why Wang Luo came to find him.

"Andy, this is the script that the director has just revised, this is your last shot, play it well." The assistant director took the script that had just been revised and walked over to the box of the lowest-end box lunch. Andy, who hadn't had time to take a bite, said.

"The last shot?" Andy was stunned for a moment.

"yes, the last shot. Once you're done shooting, you're ready to go home. I won't use it anymore, I've been busy for ten years, right? I can finally rest for a while. The assistant director said.

"Okay, I'll play it well." Andy lowered his head, secretly wiped his tears, and responded.

The assistant director patted Andy's shoulder gently, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Ten years, it took ten years for an actor to get ahead, and he still hasn't been able to get ahead, and he is still a lingering existence when the crew calls him.

Maybe Andy shouldn't have renewed his contract with the company five years ago, if he chose to leave at that time, I'm afraid it would be better than now, right?

With the lowest salary, in the end it is the same fate.

To be honest, Andy's work attitude is indeed admirable, which is why he has been able to walk in this industry for ten years.

But in the end, it was his attitude that hurt him.

No matter what the role is, Andy always plays it as the protagonist. completely subverted the arrangement of the whole show, and also made many directors and leading actors unhappy.

This is also the reason why Andy can't get the contract renewed and can't get the starring role. An actor who can't position himself correctly is very difficult to develop in any company.

With tears in his eyes, Andy ate the lunch box in his hand.

Then the crew started filming again, and this time the fate of Andy's role completely changed.

In a street fight, Andy was originally only injured, and then fled, telling the boss about the other party's conspiracy.

After revising the script, Andy was directly cut to the ground by the other party after experiencing several resistances, becoming a 'dead corpse'.

At this point, Andy's role is completely completed.

Andy will also break up with TVB completely. For the rest of the month, he could continue to work if he wanted to, but he would not be given any opportunity to get in the situation.

In this case, the best thing to do is to go to the company to discuss the termination.

At this time, the company usually pays him a month's salary and then terminates the contract.

Taking off his costume, Andy left the set weakly.

Before leaving, Andy looked back at the place where he had struggled for ten years.

Ten years ago, I also had ideals, and I came here with a fighting spirit, wanting to create a world of my own.

Ten years later, I would have left here in such a form.

"Am I really suitable?" Andy asked himself in a muffled voice, then shook his head and left the set with a wry smile. (To be continued......)

PS: Five chapters, 15,000 words, for me, a person who usually has two chapters and 4,000 words, it's really tiring. That's just two chapters prepared in advance, otherwise, I can't imagine it.
