605 [Dream of Dragon Sets]
The morning breeze blows the waves, and the light green window screens sway in the wind.
Zhao Yazhi stood on the balcony and enjoyed the sea view for a while before returning to the house in a comfortable mood. He picked up the script of "The Legend of the New White Snake" that Kang Jianfei had just called and asked someone to send him.
Kang Jianfei sat not far away and wrote and painted, and he was revising another script.
The two of them were all busy. Zhao Yazhi watched the script of "The Legend of the New White Snake" for two episodes before walking to Kang Jianfei and asked, "Is this the movie you are going to shoot in the second half of the year?"
"Yes, the title of the film is "My Savage Girlfriend"." Kang Jianfei said.
Zhao Yazhi smiled and joked: "It's another romance film? You are addicted to filming literary romance films."
Kang Jianfei explained: "Dreamworks' shooting plan for the second half of the year was planned two months ago. At least three movies will be released during the Christmas, New Year and Spring Festival periods. Xu Ke's "Shushan 2" should be able to catch up with the New Year period. Wang Jing's "Huang Feihong 2" is scheduled for the Spring Festival period. There are already two fantasy and action-type movies. I'll add another romantic comedy."
"Would you let Wang Jing film the second part of the "Huang Feihong" series?" Zhao Yazhi asked in surprise. She seriously doubted Wang Jing's ability to make kung fu films.
"Don't worry, let him film it can make some new ideas, so as not to make the audience less and less expectation of the sequel." Kang Jianfei was not worried about Wang Jing's ability. The third part of the "Huang Feihong" series in the original time and space was filmed by Wang Jing. This guy made a serious hero kung fu film into a spoof version, which made people laugh and not seem inconsistent. This skill is enough to be known as a genius director.
According to the artist promotion plan formulated by Kang Jianfei, the Oriental Entertainment Agency now has four kings and four little kings.
The four kings are movie stars Zhou Runfa, Zhou Xingchi, Liang Jiahui and Li Lianjie. Although Zhang Guorong is very popular in the film industry, he has a greater influence as a singer. Therefore, he is generally classified as a music star.
In addition, although He Jiajin's value has soared after starring in "Shushan", his acting skills have always been criticized. Moreover, there are no representative works of movies except "Shushan", so he can only be regarded as an ordinary first-line movie star now.
As for the four little kings, they are all TV stars, namely Jiang Hua, Yin Tianzhao, Li Ming and Sun Xing. These four are TV actors who have become popular in the past two years. Due to the popularity of Phoenix TV series, these four people are not inferior to those of the TVB Five Tigers back then.
As for the veteran actor Wan Ziqiu, he is a treasure of the Taiwan Strait and has a very high status in both Phoenix Taiwan and Dongshi Company.
With the King of Heaven, there are naturally the Queen of Heaven. The four Queens are Zhong Chuhong, Li Saifeng, Wang Chuxian and Guan Zhilin. Originally, Kang Jianfei wanted to rank Lin Qingxia in. But now Lin Qingxia has faded out of the entertainment industry, so she had to gather four more.
Among them, Chung Chuhong is naturally unquestionable. Although Li Saifeng is not as good as Chung Chuhong in Hong Kong, due to the super hot sale of "Shushan", her reputation in East Asia is no less than that of Hong Gu.
Wang Chuxian and Guan Zhilin are much inferior. Wang Chuxian mainly plays a single role. He plays all fairy female ghosts, and his qualifications are relatively shallow, so it is a bit reluctant to be ranked among the four queens.
Guan Zhilin is purely because she is not interested in acting. Apart from the impressive thirteenth aunt in "Huang Feihong", she has not many influential roles left, and she can't film several movies a year. However, because she is beautiful and has a longer debut, Guan Zhilin's reputation in Hong Kong is much greater than that of Wang Shuxian, who is working hard to film.
Oriental Entertainment's publicity for the queen of the Heavenly King has gradually been accepted by the public and the media during this period. However, because the queen of the Heavenly King of the Heavenly King is too famous, many people think that Oriental Entertainment Company is too popular. If it were replaced by Thirteen Taibao, the names of Twelve Golden Hair will not be so controversial.
Among the four kings and four queens, Zhou Runfa and Zhou Xingchi's status are the most impressive. Liang Jiahui seems to have weak qualifications and fame. In fact, the "Direction of the Curtain" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace" starring him a few years ago both sold well. In addition, after "Fangfang" was popular on the international stage, he has already been able to hold the throne of the king.
The only unstable thing is Li Lianjie. Although "Shaolin Temple" caused a sensation after its release in Hong Kong, everyone has always regarded him as a mainland actor. It was not until after "Huang Feihong" was popular that Li Lianjie was truly accepted by most Hong Kong fans. He has also received a lot of kung fu films in the past two years, but the box office of these movies has not increased, which has led to Li Lianjie's pay falling instead of increasing. It is time to shoot a sequel to "Huang Feihong" to consolidate his fame.
The same is true for Kang Jianfei to film "My Savage Girlfriend". The main purpose is to help Wang Shuxian get to power. While broadening his acting career, he stabilizes his reputation as the queen.
In another time and space, perhaps it was because she played a female ghost and fairy that was too deeply rooted in people's hearts. Wang Chuxian did not get rid of the inherent image of a female ghost until after she retired from the film. To put it bluntly, everyone liked Wang Chuxian's role as a female ghost and a fairy, but once she played a normal role, not many people would buy it.
The acting path is too narrow, which is Wang Shuxian’s most fatal problem. Kang Jianfei wants to help her transform, and the first thing he thinks of is the movie "My Savage Girlfriend".
Zhao Yazhi was a little curious about the title of "My Savage Girlfriend". He took it and was attracted by the exciting plot. After reading the script, he asked, "A Fei, who are you planning to play the heroine?"
"Wang Cuixian." Kang Jianfei replied.
Zhao Yazhi thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Her image is quite suitable, what about the male lead? I think Zhang Guorong is pretty good."
"No," Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "This is a romantic comedy with a female theme. The existence of the male protagonist is just a foil. It must not be too dazzling. You must choose a more ordinary male actor to play it."
"Ordinary?" Zhao Yazhi was a little confused. It was a iron rule for handsome men and beautiful women to star in romance films. If you want a good box office, you have to follow this principle. No director deliberately found a frustrated person to be the leading actor.
Kang Jianfei was also in a little trouble. He said, "Yes, it must be both ordinary and not too frustrating, otherwise it will not be able to support the entire role. It is really difficult to find such an actor."
...
Kang Jianfei is going to make a new film, and this news is not unexpected. Only Kang Jianfei's fans, entertainment reporters and DreamWorks competitors will pay attention.
But the news that came out immediately caused heated discussions, because Kang Jianfei advertised with Phoenix Channel in "Oriental Daily" and Xuancheng himself couldn't find a suitable actor. So he wanted to auditions to collect the male lead of the new film.
This is simply incredible. There are so many male actors under Kang Jianfei who have to choose people through auditions.
The media immediately came out to "expose" him, saying that Kang Jianfei's so-called auditions were just hype and publicity, but in fact, the candidate for the male lead had already been decided.
Kang Jianfei was too lazy to explain this. The more he defended himself, the more people paid attention to this statement. Naturally, everyone focused on the film itself.
Kang Jianfei's new film is a romantic comedy, and the heroine is "Xiaoqian" Wang Chuxian. This news made many Kang Jianfei's fans unhappy, and they protested and asked Kang Jianfei to make an action film, while Wang Chuxian's fans were very happy and hoped that their idols could transform smoothly.
The worst mood is probably Pan Disheng and Huang Baiming. Because of the popularity of "Fangfang" in the summer, they both chose to shoot a romantic comedy film to fight for the Christmas season. Now Kang Jianfei is also going to shoot a romantic comedy, which is a big deal!
Unfortunately, they have written the scripts, signed contracts for directors and actors, and the preliminary preparations have been done almost. It is impossible for them to adapt the shooting plan because Kang Jianfei wants to shoot the same type of film.
TVB Clear Water Bay Set.
Twenty or thirty actors wearing costumes and holding swords and guns stood in two teams. The background of the camera is a city wall built with wooden boards and foam.
The little villain Wu Zhenyu played by the little villain, Zhongyuan, rode on the only horse, pulled out his waist knife and yelled: "Kill!"
A dozen supporting roles followed Wu Zhenyu's horse and rushed towards more than ten supporting roles on the opposite side like a street gangster fighting, and then the two sides fought each other.
"Click! This one has passed, and I'm going to take a photo."
At the director's order, the dead bodies on the ground immediately stood up and ran to put on makeup and change clothes.
More than ten minutes later, Wu Zhenyu slashed Zheng Chenggong's arm, played by Lu Liangwei. Lu Liangwei covered the wound on his arm and glared at Wu Zhenyu: "Why did you want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, why did you betray me!"
"Brother, everyone is their own master. I offended you! Kill!" Wu Zhenyu rode his horse and took a sword and killed Lu Liangwei.
Dozens of supporting roles were formed again until the director was satisfied and shouted.
Half the afternoon of the filming, Wu Zhenyu, as a supporting role, had already finished filming his scenes, but the male lead, Lu Liangwei, had to wait until midnight to finish work.
However, Wu Zhenyu did not leave, but continued to stay in the crew - changing into the costume of a soldier.
Wu Zhenyu is a classmate in the wireless artist training class with Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xingchi. A few years have passed, Liang Chaowei has become the leading actor of TVB, and Zhou Xingchi has become the four kings of DreamWorks. Wu Zhenyu, who started playing supporting roles in 1982, has been a supporting role for five years. Only then did he finally get a character with a name and line half a month ago.
The filming was relatively smooth today, and the work was over 8 o'clock in the evening.
Wu Zhenyu, who was tired, rubbed his waist and prepared to go home to rest, but was taken to Ouyang Zhenhua for midnight snacks, and the dark Liu Qingyun was also present.
Among the three, the fat little boys Ouyang Zhenhua and Wu Zhenyu are students of the same period, while Liu Qingyun is the junior brother who is one year later. Ouyang Zhenhua and Liu Qingyun have to do a little better. They can play the role of a dozen lines two or three years ago. Now they can occasionally play supporting roles with more roles.
However, in terms of the actor contract, there is actually no difference between the three.
Although TVB's five-year and ten-year long contracts have been criticized repeatedly, they must be qualified if they want to be exploited by TVB. Wu Zhenyu, Ouyang Zhenhua and Liu Qingyun are obviously the kind of actors who are not qualified. They have no choice but to sign a five-year long contract with TVB - their salary is higher after signing.
The three of them sat down at the roadside stall and ordered a bowl of noodles, a few skewers of fish and a bottle of beer, even if it was a hearty midnight snack.
Among the three, Wu Zhenyu is inferior and shy, Liu Qingyun is taciturn, but Ouyang Zhenhua, who looks dull and honest, is the most active.
Before the boss cooked the noodles, Ouyang Zhenhua took out a wrinkled "Oriental Daily" and said mysteriously: "I heard that it is not. Kang Jianfei's new film will be selected for the male lead."
Wu Zhenyu filled a glass of beer and asked, "Don't you want to audition?"
"Why not? You don't spend money, so you can try your luck at least." Ouyang Zhenhua asked Liu Qingyun, "Are you going?"
Liu Qingyun's dark face showed a self-deprecating smile: "Does he want to make a romance movie? The heroine or Wang Chuxian? Do you think I may be selected as the male lead?" Liu Qingyun glanced at Wu Zhenyu and said, "Of the three of us, Zhenyu has the greatest chance. He is the most handsome."
Ouyang Zhenhua pointed to a line of words in the newspaper and said, "Did you see that? Kang Jianfei said that the male protagonist should look ordinary, but he doesn't want it if he is too handsome."
Wu Zhenyu shook his head: "Don't waste time, I won the lottery even if I bought six/game."
Ouyang Zhenhua looked at his two friends and instigated: "Didn't you think you'll become a hit? Even if it's impossible, you have to try it. There is still a little hope if you try it. If you don't try it, you won't even have a chance."
Wu Zhenyu and Liu Qingyun remained silent. Who among actors has never dreamed of becoming famous in one day? It was just a few years of career as a supporting actor, which only shattered their original beautiful dreams.
