Volume 1 Chapter 99 Lunch
“…… Mr. Sun, thank you very much for your Kowloon MTR Corporation this time......"
Lin Xiaozhi smiled and shook hands with the middle-aged man with red eyes in front of him, there is a scene in the movie "Color is Empty" that happened on the subway, they were originally going to try to complete the shooting in ATV's own studio, so the filming of this scene was postponed. However, after the props team told them that it would cost a lot of money just to set up the scene, Lin Xiaozhi still contacted the External Relations Department of the Kowloon MTR Corporation through ATV's relationship and reached an agreement with them to arrange for them to temporarily repair the carriage for static shooting.
Although it also cost a certain amount of money, it still saves a lot of time compared to setting up the scene yourself.
"Is it mutually beneficial cooperation, it's not the first time that you ATV have cooperated with us......"
After a polite exchange between the two sides, Manager Sun of the Kowloon Metro found an excuse to leave. Lin Xiaozhi clapped his hands and beckoned everyone to get busy.
"Okay guys, I've got in touch with you on the subway too. Today's shooting is not difficult, let's try to do it once. ”
Ye Weixin instructed the field staff to start carrying the camera equipment, "Be careful, don't fall over the camera."
It took more than half an hour for the scene reporters to complete the camera, other photographic equipment and scene layout, and with Lin Xiaozhi's order, many extras entered, and the originally empty subway car suddenly became popular.
"Camera OK"
"The lights are no problem"
Lin Xiaozhi and Ye Weixin looked at each other and smiled, and saw Ye Weixin wave the microphone, "Okay, then listen to my orders, Action."
According to the old rules, Ye Weixin led the filming of the film, and Lin Xiaozhi, who was still adapting to Hong Kong-style shooting, played a role in giving advice and assisting the crew. From the beginning of the movie to the present, there have been more than 290 NGs in the entire movie, of which more than 170 times were shouted by him Lin Xiaozhi. Frequent stops, at first, many people in the crew thought that he was interfering with the filming of the film, and even another director, Ye Weixin, was able to hold back and persuade him. But with his suggestion, the filming of the movie has become more and more smooth, and now many people have begun to change their perception of him.
Lin Xiaozhi tacitly walked to the monitor and stood still, although his eyes have been staring at the picture effect captured by the camera transmitted from the monitor, his eyes have not forgotten to glance at the actors who started filming on the field from time to time, Xinya has not signed artists of its own until now, and the plot of this movie is relatively honed, he is ready to select a group of good seedlings from the actor team to sign Xinya before the end of the filming of this movie. For example, now, he has taken a fancy to the combination of soft and hard teachers, Ge Yuhui, Lin Haifeng, and ATV's artist Sun Xing, whose contract is about to expire.
In the shot, Yuan Jieying, who plays the heroine, and several other young female artists who are good-looking and good-looking are standing in the carriage, talking quietly and laughing.
"Hey, have you heard?"
"What"
"There's a student in our school who wants to commit suicide by taking poison?"
"Who?"
"Oh, it turned out to be him"
Lin Xiaozhi rubbed his chin, his brows furrowed, he always felt that there seemed to be something missing in this scene, but he couldn't grasp what was missing for a while!
In the footage. According to Lin Yuzhi's request. Yuan Jieying, who plays the heroine YOYO. A curly brown hair that is popular in Hong Kong has been re-dyed and straightened. According to him." What is fashion and fashion, the streets are full of looks. Nine out of ten young women have hairstyles like yours. Are you following fashion trends? No, no, no, no. You're just a dozen. If we want to do it, we have to lead the way..."
In a word, he invited a professional stylist. A new look was designed for Yuan Jieying according to his requirements.
Yuan Jieying has appeared in many movies. He also received intensive training before filming the film. There are no problems with acting. And her style is fine, could it be those female artists of ATV.
The suspicious eyes swept over the few ATV female artists who stood with Yuan Jieying, and soon he gave up his doubts.
Although these female artists from ATV were all signed by him at an ultra-low price of tens of thousands of yuan on average. The acting skills are really not good. But all have the experience of playing a few small roles in one or two TV series. It's much better than the acting foundation of a pure newcomer, and there's no problem. What's wrong with that?
His eyes began to wander around, looking for what he felt was wrong. When his gaze swept over the carriages around him, Lin Yuzhi was suddenly stunned, and finally realized that he felt something wrong, and hurriedly shouted. Cut”
He called a timeout! Ye Weixin was standing in front of him with a guide tube to supervise the filming, and when he heard him shouting, he turned around in confusion and was about to ask. I saw him frowning. Then I heard Lin Xiaozhi say: "A few of you, pay attention, the subway company did not provide us with the convenience of shooting on the road, so we can only stand still and notice some inappropriateness inside." This scene has been re-filmed, everyone has sat on the subway, I believe it should be no stranger, I want you to be in the filming association. From time to time, you control your body to shake in a magnitude, just like the reaction of the body when a real subway is moving. Let's vote for ......"
"Lin Sheng. It doesn't need to be that serious, does it?" Ye Weixin walked up to him. Said disapprovingly. He wasn't loud. Only he and Lin Xiaozhi could hear it, and obviously remembered his identity as the president of New Asia. In the crew, it is still more face-saving for him.
"Keep improving to make a good movie!" Lin Yuzhi only replied, then stopped talking and looked at the actors in the field.
Yuan Jieying's brows frowned slightly for a moment. In my mind, I recalled how I felt when I rode the train. Nodding." Director. I see!"
"Very good, the camera, restart the filming of this scene!"
After the film restarted. Several actors listened to him. During the shooting, he also noticed that he occasionally leaned back or leaned forward slightly, making the appearance of the train moving, which made him quite satisfied.
There is only one performing arts academy here in Hong Kong. Although ATV and TVB have their own artist training courses. But there are only so many students in each session, so the vast majority of artists in Hong Kong have received special training. is not as good as the foundation of mainland actors. Before his rebirth, Lin Yuzhi had contact with many artists from formal performing arts academies. Even some newcomers can figure out how to perform some roles without references. In fact, the entertainment industry in the mainland is not completely meritorious.
Because there are a lot of laughs in this scene, it took a whole morning to finally shoot the scene of the tram in the movie in just over a minute. It's almost noon as the end of work approaches, and the lunch box is about to come in.
used to be noon every day. Lin Xiaozhi ate a boxed lunch with everyone in the crew. However, at noon today, he had already made an appointment with others to dine together, so when the time was approaching, he explained to Ye Weixin. drove away from the crew.
"Lin Sheng, this way"
Driving to the vicinity of the headquarters of the Lin family's Kowloon Bank, Lin Xiaozhi heard a greeting on the side of the road. Drive and park the car on the side of the road. Song Nianhui, who was dressed in formal clothes, opened the car door and got into the passenger seat, and fastened his seat belt. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead." Today is really enough to choke, the temperature in Hong Kong is still 26 degrees in February. Luckily, I wore a sweater in the morning. Otherwise, you won't have to heat up your oil. ”
"It's not so exaggerated, as far as I know, the temperature in Taiwan in December is also more than ten degrees, not much worse..."
Lin Xiaozhi smiled. Then he said, "I'm going to trouble Song Sheng again this time......"
Since earning a huge capital of nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars in the Taiwan stock market. Lin Xiaozhi immediately made an appointment with Zheng Zeshi to dine together today. The acquisition of Xinya shares in the hands of the company, which was originally planned to be negotiated with him at the beginning of next year, was fully advanced by several months.
For Zheng Zeshi. Lin Xiaozhi has already seen that he has the idea of quitting New Asia. It's no wonder that he is a shareholder invited by Qiu Degen. Originally, it shouldered the hope of making New Asia bigger. But it is estimated that when Qiu Degen himself sold ATV's shares to the Lin family and the Zheng family, he probably didn't expect that he would lose the management of ATV so quickly. In the past, Wang Jiaan suppressed the development of New Asia. Recently this time has come. With Lin Jianle's intensified seizure of power, the ATV Ten Outstanding Walk. People from all walks of life in Hong Kong are not optimistic about the future of ATV. Zheng Zeshi's retreat is even more obvious.
Lin Xiaozhi saw the hesitation in his heart now. is ready to take down the 30% of the New Asia shares in Zheng Zeshi's hands.
