Chapter 500: Finality and Determination
October 30, 2005, in the eyes of others, was a very ordinary day, the weather was good, the traffic was good, and everything seemed so ordinary.
But for the crew of the entire TV series "Wulin Gaiden", it seems not so simple!
Because today, it is the last day of filming for the crew of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden"!
Since the beginning of May, Menjie, Jia Jingwen, Shen Qiu, Jiang Chao, Yao Chen and others have gathered together, and under the leadership of Shang Jing, Menjie and others began the filming of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden".
Until today, the penultimate day of October, the whole process, except for the first ten days of May, has been filming every day, a full five months and twenty days!
During this time, although Menjie was absent for about 20 days and Jia Jingwen for about a week, everyone's feelings did not have the slightest impact.
And today, the filming of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" is finally coming to an end.
"Cards!"
With the order of the director Shang Jing in the crew, Menjie and everyone else stood at the door of the 'Tongfu Inn', with a smile on their faces, and the scene in the camera was frozen at this moment, and the filming of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" finally ended!
"It's over!"
Similarly, in the past five months, it can be said that Shang Jing is the most tired for more than five months, although he does not need to go up to film in person, but the high-intensity command and mental work make him very tired.
However, when the other actors are tired, they can take a day off, adjust their state, and let the other actors continue filming. But Shang Jing didn't rest, even for a day!
Because if Shang Jing rested, then the entire crew probably wouldn't need to shoot.
"Shang Dao, hard work!"
After finishing the shooting, before Menjie had time to change his clothes, he came to Shang Jing, his eyes full of gratitude.
Although it is very normal for Shang Jing to take money and direct "Wulin Gaiden" invested and filmed by Menjie, Shang Jing can be so dedicated and not have even a second of rest in more than five months. It is indeed very grateful, thankful.
More than five months of high-intensity work in a row can be said to be something that Menjie has never encountered after stepping into the entertainment industry in the past two years, and at most three months has been the sky, and Shang Jing has been able to work consistently in these five months. It's really good.
"It's okay, I'm the director!"
Although because of the fatigue of working for a long time. Shang Jing's face was a little yellow. The top of the head was already a little bald, but now it has become more bald, as if it is several years old, but watching the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" finished, I really have a special sense of achievement.
"Doesn't it feel good?"
looked at Shang Jing squinting his eyes and looked at the entire crew of "Wulin Gaiden". They were all busy and packing up their things, and all the faces of the people showed a look of joy because they had finished more than five months of work, and Menjie whispered in Shang Jing's ear.
"It's really cool. Watching the successful completion of the TV series, it is like seeing the successful birth of my son, that feeling...... It's wonderful! ”
"yes!"
Just as Menjie and Shangjing were chatting, the God of Wealth on the side also came over, and the story of the great expectations he gave was successfully completed, and the God of Wealth was also full of emotion.
"Whether it's me or Shang Jing, you'll feel this way, Menjie, it's a sense of accomplishment that you can't experience!"
Although at the moment when the TV series was completed, Menjie also had a sense of achievement, but it was very different from the sense of accomplishment of Shang Jing and God of Wealth!
Menjie's sense of accomplishment, at best, is to complete his own shooting work, as if he has finished his work, he feels relaxed and very cool.
But the entire TV series "Wulin Gaiden", in the eyes of Shang Jing and God of Wealth, is like his own child!
In the past five or six months, in his own hands, the child has grown little by little, from nothing at the beginning, to now, has been fully conceived, and the sense of accomplishment is not something that ordinary people can feel!
"Menjie, God of Wealth, you will also try to be a director in the process of filming in the future!"
Suddenly thinking of something, Shang Jing on the side said to Menjie and God of Wealth in a very sincere tone.
"God of Wealth, the screenwriter is a trail after all, which is why I have cooperated with you more times, I know what kind of effect you want, so that you can smoothly shoot the plot you imagined, if you are a director, you may not be satisfied!"
"That's what I plan!"
Nodding slightly, it was the first time that the God of Wealth had told his plan in front of Menjie and others.
"In the final analysis, the screenwriting industry is much worse than that of a director, but my current level is not enough, in a few years, in a few years, when I feel that the level is enough, I will start to be a director, a film and television work, self-writing and directing, but much cooler than screenwriters!"
"I didn't expect that your goal is quite big, God of Wealth!"
chuckled, Menjie didn't expect that the God of Wealth would now have the idea of being a director.
From the Tianwang system, Menjie has already known that in about another seven or eight years, the God of Wealth will really complete the transformation from a simple famous screenwriter to 'self-writing and self-directing', but I didn't expect that now he already has such an idea, no wonder every time Shang Jing is filming, the God of Wealth will concentrate on the side to observe.
"And you, Menjie!"
Immediately afterwards, Shang Jing set his eyes on Menjie's body, and said to Menjie very sincerely in the tone of an elder to a junior.
"You are young and handsome now, and it is indeed good to follow the path of an actor and singer, but in the future, sooner or later, one day, you will get older and older, and when you are old, why should you continue your career as an actor?"
"And in the final analysis, the weight of an actor is still not as big as that of a director, you are very smart, you learn everything quickly, try to transform from an actor to a director in the future, it is definitely beneficial to your development!"
"Director? Shang Dao, I don't have such big ambitions? ”
Shaking his head slightly, Menjie squinted his eyes and said, "What I yearn for is not that my name can be put on the screen, what I yearn for is that my face and my whole person can appear on the screen, under the flash, the feeling of being in the limelight, in the final analysis, I am just a star, a director...... Forget it, I'm not interested, and I won't! ”
Although Menjie knows that in later generations, there are many famous actors in Huaxia who gradually changed careers to become directors, and the most successful of them is undoubtedly Zhou Xingchi, but Menjie is not interested in this.
Although it is a mainstream, what Menjie yearns for is above the stage, not under the stage!
Either you will be a star-studded and high-profile star, or you will completely withdraw from the entertainment industry and leave an indelible legend in the entertainment industry!
If one day, Menjie is old and unable to carry out high-intensity shooting, Menjie will also choose to quit instead of continuing to stay in the entertainment industry, squandering the popularity he has accumulated over the years and earning a meager fortune.
"Menjie, you should know that a director, whether on the set or outside, has much more influence and power than ordinary actors......"
Seeing Menjie's merciless refusal, Shang Jing still persuaded Menjie, as if he wanted to make Menjie 'sensible'.
It's a pity......
Since two years ago, when Menjie first debuted, he had already firmly established the New Year in his heart.
is only a superstar in the world on the stage, and never a giant in the film industry behind the scenes.
Even if the latter has a higher status, it can't shake Menjie's determination in the slightest!
"Director Shang, I know that the status of a director on the set is far greater than that of an actor, whether it is in China or abroad, it is such a market!"
Knowing in his heart that Dao Shangjing was good to himself, Menjie was also very grateful, and said in a deep voice.
"But...... Director Shang, I'm not just an actor! ”
Well?
Listening to Menjie's words, Shang Jing was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and also thought that although Menjie is just an actor, his voice in the crew seems to be higher than himself!
"I'm not going to be a director or screenwriter, because my energy is limited, and the music and film world is enough for me to give all my energy, and I don't have time to do anything else!"
"However, with my knowledge in the film and television industry, at least in terms of the identification of film and television works, I also have a certain level, in the future, I can be a professional film and television investor, invest in filming movies and TV series, hire directors, and buy scripts, so as to ...... In terms of status, even if I am just an actor, I will not be worse than a director! ”
"That's right, the producer plus the protagonist, even the director, in front of you, must be a little shorter!"
With a wry smile, Shang Jing forgot about this problem and hurriedly corrected it.
At the same time, for Menjie's plan, whether it is Shang Jing or the God of Wealth, they all agree very much.
Only by devoting limited energy to the work that you are interested in and not being distracted can you achieve more brilliant results.
If you want to do a series of jobs such as singers, actors, screenwriters, directors, producers, etc., in the end, it is very likely that you will achieve nothing, so it is better to concentrate on a few of them.
At least for now, Menjie is doing a good job!
"Alright, let's stop sighing here!"
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be a little dignified, Menjie patted Shang Jing and the God of Wealth on the shoulders, and said with a smile, "Clean up, wait a while, everyone in the crew will go to the hotel together to hold the finale banquet of our "Wulin Gaiden", and celebrate it well!"
