375 [Nonsensical]
Song Cheng in Liyuan Playground, the crew of "Bao Qingtian" is still busy filming, although the TV series will premiere tonight, it has no impact on them, and they can shoot how they should shoot.
Song City was originally built to attract tourists to consume, so it was not forbidden for idlers to enter like the Shaw Brothers studio. At this time, there were some tourists standing far away, curiously watching the crew filming, the most important thing is that the costumes in "Bao Qingtian" are very distinctive, like Bao Zheng and Zhanzhao's clothes are so handsome.
After a set of shots were filmed, the crew was about to transfer the filming venue, Li Lizhi ran over and said to the assistant director: "Director Zhu, the scenery on Wenchang Street is ready." ”
"Well," the assistant choreographer nodded, and said to Li Li, "Ali, there is a scene tomorrow that needs Pan Zhiwen to make a cameo, this is his phone number!" Be sure to inform him to go to Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and if the phone can't get through, go directly to the Oriental Entertainment Company to find someone. ”
"Okay, I'll go right away." Li Li ran away with his phone number.
"Wait a minute," the assistant choreographer called Li Lizhi and said, "What are you in a hurry about, you decrepit boy, I have other things I haven't explained." ”
Li Lizhi hurriedly turned around and asked, "What else does Director Zhu command?" ”
The assistant choreographer stuffed a form into Li Lizhi's hand and said, "I need about 30 actors in the afternoon, I have a list here, you go and arrange the extras, if the number is not enough, come back and report to me." By the way, take this list and look for the props team, don't start shooting, the props haven't kept up yet. ”
Li Lizhi learned well this time, and did not leave immediately, but asked, "Director Zhu, do you have any other instructions?" ”
The assistant director said with a smile: "If you can do these things well, it will be enough for me to give you an excellent grade." Do you think this bowl of rice is so delicious? ”
"If I have anything wrong, I have to ask Director Zhu for more advice." Li Li said with a smile, and slapped a few more sycophants before running to run errands.
After working for about two hours, Li Lizhi finally arranged the actors he needed for the afternoon, and the required props were all in place. It was almost noon, and he didn't have time to eat a boxed lunch, so he immediately borrowed a phone to contact Zhong Zhiwen again.
This time, there was a problem, Zhong Zhiwen's personal phone and agent phone were not answered, and Li Lizhi had to go to Oriental Entertainment Company.
After explaining to the artist department over there, Li Lizhi hurriedly ran back to report the situation to the assistant choreographer. Then I received a few small and bits of tasks.
After working for most of the day, Li Lizhi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, ate the box lunch that had been cold, and sat next to him to chat and gossip with the rest of the crew.
Li Lizhi, like Tian Qiwen, decided to engage in filming at a very young age. And crashed headlong into it without hesitation. It's just that because the two have different internal conditions, Li Lizhi entered the director team as soon as he entered the circle. And Tian Qiwen has been in the TV station for several years, and he can only work part-time jobs.
Oriental Entertainment's "Future Star Training Class". In addition to recruiting actor students every year, some behind-the-scenes personnel are also recruited, and Li Lizhi is one of the behind-the-scenes students. After learning the basic theory in the company for two months, Li Lizhi was thrown into the crew of "Bao Qingtian" and studied with one of the assistant choreographers.
"Ali, come here." The assistant choreographer suddenly waved at Li Li.
Li Lizhi hurriedly ran over. asked, "Director Zhu, what do you command?" ”
The assistant choreographer slapped a piece of paper into his hand and said, "This is your internship grade." ”
Li Lizhi opened it and took a look, but saw a big "excellent" word on it. There were also some comments praising his positive and insightful work.
"Director Zhu, didn't you say that you want to intern for three months? I've only been out for less than two weeks, and the internship is over? Li Lizhi asked confusedly.
The assistant choreographer looked left and right, and found that no one was paying attention to this, and said to Li Lizhi in a low voice: "You kid is lucky, his theoretical score is the best in the class, and the crew has never made a mistake in practice, so it is estimated that he was favored by which big man above." ”
Li Li was overjoyed, quietly stuffed a cigarette to the assistant choreographer, and asked, "Director Zhu, I have just entered the industry, and I don't know anything, so please mention it more." ”
The assistant choreographer took the cigarette and said, "The TV production department is about to open a new drama, and I guess I will transfer you to a new crew to start work." By the way, I just got a phone call asking you to come back to DreamWorks at 3 p.m. for a meeting. ”
"DreamWorks? Not Oriental Entertainment? Li Lizhi asked with wide eyes, he was only a student in the training class of Oriental Entertainment Company.
The assistant choreographer nodded and said, "That's right, it's back to the No. 2 conference room of the TV production department of DreamWorks." It's just over 3 o'clock in the hour, and you can take the bus to get there. ”
Li Li was ecstatic in his heart, and said a good word to the assistant choreographer before taking a double-decker bus towards DreamWorks. When I arrived at the company, it was only half past two, and there was no one in the No. 2 conference room, so Li Lizhi had to sit there and wait.
After only waiting for a few minutes, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a beautiful woman with big breasts came in.
"You're a girl!" Li Lizhi suddenly recognized the beautiful woman, and rushed up and shouted in surprise.
Tian Niu's real name is Zhu Kaili, originally from Suzhou, and her parents later moved to Hong Kong, but it didn't take long for the family to move to Taiwan. Tian Niu was born and raised in Taiwan, and became the queen of the Golden Horse Awards six years ago for starring in "Titi's Diary", and also hosted the opening ceremony of the Golden Horse Awards twice.
Because of the decline of Taiwanese films, Tian Niu had no drama to take after filming "Girls' School" last year, so she could only find a way to come to Hong Kong to develop. Her sister Tianni used to be a Shaw Brothers star, and later transferred to Lishi to shoot a few dramas, and now she is married and in a semi-retired state.
Tian Niu's brother-in-law is the former Shaw Brothers star Yue Hua, but Yue Hua has long left Shaw Brothers to transfer to Lishi, and occasionally goes out to pick up movies from independent companies.
After the separation of Phoenix Channel's production and broadcasting, Tian Niu's sister and brother-in-law all transferred the brokerage contract to Oriental Entertainment Company, so she came to Hong Kong to develop and directly signed into Oriental Entertainment. And this time the new "He is from Jianghu", several of the main actors were personally selected by Kang Jianfei, and he directly got Tian Niu to the crew.
Tian Niu was stunned by Li Li's exaggerated shouting, and then said in non-standard Cantonese: "Hello! ”
Li Lizhi also realized that his words and deeds were inappropriate, and smiled awkwardly: "Hello." Miss Zhu, my name is Li Lizhi, and I am your fan. ”
"I didn't expect that I also have fans in Hong Kong." Tian Niu's personality is very grinning, and she loves to laugh very much, and sometimes she feels like a silly girl.
The two of them are familiar people, and they have become good friends after chatting a few words, and only then did Zhou Xingchi and Mao Xianyun walk into the conference room at the same time.
When Mao Xianyun saw Tian Niu and Li Lizhi, he immediately said to Zhou Xingchi: "I said come early, you see that there are already people waiting here." ”
Zhou Xingchi looked at his watch, stretched his waist and said, "There are still more than ten minutes before 3 o'clock." ”
Mao Xianyun put the handbag on the seat next to him. After sitting down, I found that Tian Niu was a little familiar, and after looking at it twice, I couldn't help but ask, "Are you Sister Niu Niu?" ”
Tian Niu didn't know Mao Xianyun, but she still smiled at her: "Hello, I'm Tian Niu." ”
"It's really Sister Niuniu, I thought I recognized the wrong person." Mao Xianyun said in surprise. Immediately run to Tian Niu's side and sit down.
Tian Niu is famous in Hong Kong, not only because she won the Golden Horse Award in Taiwan. is also because she has filmed several dramas at Shaw Brothers. For example, Huang Rong, who starred in Zhang Che's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", is partnered with Fu Sheng, Hui Yinghong and others.
After Zhou Xingchi and Mao Xianyun finished politely talking to Tian Niu there, Li Lizhi greeted: "Sister Yun is good, Brother Xing is good, my name is Li Lizhi, and I am a student of the future star artist training class." ”
Zhou Xingchi is one year younger than Li Lizhi. But no one counts the age, anyway, the one who became popular was "brother".
But Zhou Xingchi can only be a "Brother Xing" in front of a newcomer like Li Lizhi, and as soon as Wan Ziji came in two minutes, Zhou Xingchi immediately shouted affectionately: "Brother Liang." This drama turned out to be you the leading actor. ”
Wan Ziying rubbed his forehead and said, "I still don't know what kind of scene Lu Dao is filming, do you know Lu Dao?" ”
Zhou Xingchi replied: "It seems that the title of the film is "He is from the rivers and lakes". ”
Wan Ziying frowned and asked, "Is it a costume film?" ”
"I don't know what to do." Zhou Xingchi shook his head.
While the two were talking, Wu Mengda suddenly walked in, so everyone's eyes in the conference room were on him.
After Wu Mengda signed into DreamWorks, he has never been a leading role, but he often plays some important supporting roles, and his salary is higher than that of the protagonists of those small-budget movies. And it is rumored that Wu Mengda has a close personal relationship with Kang Jianfei, Zhou Yunfa and others, so his status in the circle has always been very high - for young actors.
"Wu Mengda is here too?" Zhou Xingchi looked at Mao Xianyun suspiciously, Wu Mengda had not filmed a TV series since he left TVB.
Wu Mengda was still a little depressed at this time, he was also a movie star anyway, and now he is back to making TV series, which is really a bit of a loss.
After the separation of production and broadcasting on Phoenix Channel, TV drama actors are no longer paid dead wages. Instead, the brokerage contract is signed to Oriental Entertainment Company, and then the agent signs a specific TV contract with DreamWorks' TV production department, and when signing the contract, it is agreed on how much the salary for each episode is, and DreamWorks pays the film contract to Oriental Entertainment Company, and then the agent sends the money to the artist.
For the kind of TV actors who have been filming for a long time, the income of the year after the separation of production and broadcasting is worth several years, but for the kind of actors who do not take many scenes and do not have a high salary, they will often face the dilemma of starvation.
For example, "He is from Jianghu" has 30 episodes, and the number of episodes in which Wu Mengda appears is about 20 episodes, each episode is about 3,000 yuan, and he can get a salary of 60,000 yuan in total. Wu Mengda is making a movie now, and if there are too few scenes, he won't be able to get this number.
And Wan Zizhen's salary for each episode of the TV series is 5,000 yuan, and after filming "He Comes from Jianghu", he will directly enter 130,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is his salary for one and a half years before.
Wu Mengda walked into the conference room with his front foot, and several people came in one after another. The more people who came in, the more Li Lizhi felt that this TV series was not simple, and it was estimated that it would be a big drama like "Bao Qingtian".
"He Comes from Jianghu" is known as the nonsensical beginning of Zhou's family, and it is a TV series with high ratings on TVB a few years later. But at this time, the DreamWorks TV production department came to film, from the producer to the starring below, but it was almost the original team.
Liu Jiahao is the producer and No. 1 director of this play, and he is also the husband and wife team in charge, and his wife Mei Xiaoqing serves as an assistant choreographer and director, managing and coordinating everything in the crew.
Li Lizhi, who has not yet graduated from the training class, actually got the title of assistant director of a group, which made him feel like he was in a dream.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the framework and character design of the entire script, as well as the script of the first episode, were all created by Mr. Kang himself," Liu Jiahao sat on the chair of the conference table and said, "Several candidates for the leading roles are also hand-picked by Mr. Kang, and he has great confidence in this play, and I hope everyone will not live up to Mr. Kang's ardent hopes...... Although Wan Ziying is the male protagonist of this play, Xingzai, Ada and Instant Yun are also very important, and the three of you are specifically responsible for being funny. It's a nonsensical comedy......"
"Wait a minute," Zhou Xingchi interrupted and asked, "Producer Liu, what is nonsensical comedy?" ”
Liu Jiahao coughed and said: "Nonsensical comedy, it is Mr. Kang's name for this comedy genre." To put it plainly, it is to be funny to make it a little nonsensical, and the word is too ugly, so it is referred to as nonsensical. It's the kind of messing around without a head or tail, you can go and see the "Owl" of the three brothers Qin Peijiang and David two years ago......"
"I've seen "The Owl", and it's really vivid to describe it as nonsensical!" Li Lizhi suddenly said loudly.
Among the people present, Li Lizhi was the most inconspicuous small role, and as soon as he spoke at this time, everyone looked at him.
Liu Jiahao said: "Then you can tell me about your understanding of nonsense. ”
"It's just no beginning and no end, exaggerated, ironic, and humorous, which can be illogical, contempt for authority, and give the audience a sense of neuroticism." Li Lizhi did not be stunned in the eyes of everyone, but talked eloquently.
Liu Jiahao nodded and said to Li Lizhi: "I'll get the script later, Ali, you and Xingzai, Ada, and Instant Yun will communicate and discuss more, and see how to play this nonsensical comedy well." ”
Li Lizhi naturally agreed happily, but Liu Jiahao, who assigned the task, had a headache.
After the meeting ended, Liu Jiahao and his wife Mei Xiaoqing drove home together, and Liu Jiahao said: "Aqing, what do you mean by Mr. Kang?" If you have to make any nonsensical comedy, whether the audience will buy it is a matter of two questions. ”
Mei Xiaoqing said: "Why do you want to do so much?" Mr. Kang's name is whatever he wants, and it is impossible to blame you for the bad ratings at that time. ”
"I'm afraid that the ratings of the film will not be good, and I will have to carry the black cauldron." Liu Jiahao sighed helplessly.
Having said that, Liu Jiahao is just complaining, and he still supports Kang Jianfei in his heart. After the separation of TV production and broadcasting, Liu Jiahao, who once filmed "Xun Qin" with Kang Jianfei, also successfully entered the TV production department of DreamWorks as a producer, and made at least double the money before.
Liu Jiahao thinks that Kang Jianfei's reform is very wise, because he belongs to the group of people who have benefited. In addition, more people scolded Kang Jianfei in private, because Kang Jianfei's reforms made those people lose their jobs, or their wages plummeted.
Back at home, after Mei Xiaoqing cooked the meal, the family watched TV while eating. Today is the premiere of "Bao Qingtian", Liu Jiahao, Mei Xiaoqing and his wife are very curious about this drama that has been planned for two months, and want to see what its quality is. (To be continued......)
