Chapter 25: It's not easy to come to film

Xiang Huasheng didn't say anything about Wang Jing's lateness, but just smiled helplessly. He thought that Wang Jing's reputation for being late in the industry had already become a hit. Zhuo Yi has seen the opening ceremony of the Hong Kong film industry in the 1980s and 1990s. He had to worship the gods before starting the filming. It was very lively, but it was very regular. The altars were lined with offerings such as roast pork and fruit. Judging from the queue, the hierarchy was very strict. Xiang Huasheng brothers and Wang Jing, the producer and director, stood in the front row, and major actors such as Andy Lau and Lai Brother Qiu Shuzhen, stood in the second row. Zhuo Yi pulled Li Zhi and other working actors to hide in the last row. Wang Jing wanted Zhuo Yi to stand in the front row, but Zhuo Yi didn't catch a cold for these divine things.

This guy is funny when he thinks of the feudal superstition of Hong Kong people. At this time, no matter what big things the Hong Kong people do, they like to ask gods for divination. The underworld has to pay homage to Guan Er Ge, and those who open the door to do business also pay homage to Guan Er Master. Even the police station enshrines the statue of Guan Gong, with one stick of incense stick every day. What makes Zhuo Yi the most funny is that after the 1990s, the mainland was also infected with the habit of filming and worshiping gods in Hong Kong. He also burned incense and worshiped Buddha, which made him very happy.

Zhuo Yi hid behind the crowd and laughed at others. After two minutes, this guy couldn't laugh, because Wang Jing actually invited a band to dance dragons and lions, and firecrackers were ringing everywhere. Zhuo Yi was speechless, and Wang Jing did everything that was so popular but useless. However, after two minutes, Zhuo Yi understood Wang Jing's intention. Because the lion dance was over and everyone shared the offerings, the morale and work enthusiasm of the entire crew were unprecedentedly strong. Wang Jing blinked to Zhuo Yi proudly. It seemed that this bitch was interested in teaching Zhuo Yi how to control the set and how to do the director's thing.

"Camera...lights...actors...are you ready!" Wang Jing looked at everyone with great momentum, like a general who commanded the army on the battlefield, in an orderly manner. Then he shouted suddenly: "Start". This guy is indeed a veteran. Zhuo Yi didn't expect that Wang Jing is a man who is usually careless, but he is indeed so courageous when filming. So many people on the entire set were arranged in an orderly manner by him. It seems that every big director and producer is not a false reputation, but has his own set of methods. At this time, Zhuo Yi will certainly not let down Wang Jing's painstaking efforts. He is like a sponge, constantly absorbing Wang Jing's filming techniques and experience.

Three days later, Zhuo Yi was the most popular person in the entire crew, and Zhuo Yi was already the most popular person in the crew. The filmmakers of this era are very hardworking and hardworking, so no matter whether the starring or the supporting actors eat, they always hold lunch boxes together, because everyone is tight. Take Andy Lau for example! After he finished filming the scene of "Best Bad Friends", there were two crews going to start work during the day, and there was also one scene to be filmed at night. So they all started work again after eating. The most awesome thing is

Cheng Kui'an, the ultimate supporting actor, actually had to play eight scenes a day, which made Zhuo Yi airborne from later generations very incomprehensible. "Is it necessary to fight for life like this?" Therefore, Zhuo Yi ordered some KFCs and hot milk from time to time to win people's hearts. From high to fat director Wang Jing, everyone has a share, so everyone thinks Zhuo Yi is a good, worthy of friendship and generous screenwriter. But they don't understand why this guy who looks like an actor wants to be a screenwriter who is not pleasing to him.

Zhuo Yi carefully observed Andy Lau's performance. It is undeniable that Andy Lau's appearance is indeed very good, but his acting skills are really young and tender. No wonder although he is very serious and hardworking, he is half popular in all kinds of films, TV and songs, but he is half popular. In fact, Zhuo Yi is too picky about Andy Lau. This guy has watched movies such as "Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs" starring Andy Lau in later generations. Andy Lau's restrained performance method in the film has received countless praises. Of course, Zhuo Yi also likes it very much, so when he subconsciously compares it, he naturally feels that Andy Lau's acting is very tender now. This is just like a person who has used a large screen to touch a quad-core mobile phone, and suddenly gives him an ancient Nokia phone.

"Andy Lau, in fact, you don't have to deliberately play the character Xu Dinggui. He is also a personal person. I don't want to eat and like beauty, so you just need to be yourself. It's too artificial to deliberately play..." Zhuo Yi couldn't help it in the end. Of course, he knew that saying this abruptly to Andy Lau may arouse Andy Lau's disgust. After all, he is just a small screenwriter. However, he has been having a good relationship with Andy Lau these days and is already considered an ordinary friend. He doesn't want his friends to take too many detours. He knows that Andy Lau's acting skills will be mature until after the mid-1990s. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful.

"Deliberate..." Andy Lau sat there quietly, thinking silently, making people unable to see if he was angry. "Azhuo, thank you! I think I understand a little bit, yes, I was too deliberately, thank you!" Andy Lau was indeed not angry, but had a little bit of the demeanor of a king in later generations.

"Andy Lau, you may have to play many different roles in a day, so you will deliberately imitate it, but you will get better if you don't get into the role..." Zhuo Yi felt that he was too abrupt, so he quickly made up for it. In other words, Andy Lau is easier to talk to. If another big starring actor, he might have gone crazy.

Andy Lau was admitted to the tenth TVB Artist Training Class in 1981. He graduated with excellent grades in Class A and later worked as a TV series actor at the TVB. At the beginning, because of his good appearance, he became the male lead and was trained by the wireless. He formed the "Wireless Five Tiger General" with Wong Rihua, Tony Leung, Miu and Tang Zhenye. Unlike the unlucky guy Zhou Xingchi, he can be said to be successful in a young age, but he is hardworking, hardworking and studious, and constantly working hard to enrich himself. Andy Lau can be regarded as one of the most diligent filmmakers in Hong Kong.

However, Zhuo Yi thinks Andy Lau's current performance is actually better. You should know that Andy Lau's "Mong Kok Carmen" was also starred this year. The Ajie, who is neat and loyal in the play, has a big difference compared to Xu Dinggui in "Best Bad Friends". "Maybe different directors will affect the actor's interpretation method!" Zhuo Yi plans to ask Wang Jing later.

"Azhuo, come here..." After shooting another set of shots, Wang Jing called Zhuo Yi: "Azhuo, I just heard what you told Andy Lau. In fact, our movie is different from other people's movies. We shoot simple comedy, with funny plots and entertaining the audience. No matter what his acting skills are or not, the audience may not be able to understand, and if they understand, they may not like it. What we want most is box office and money. Right!"

"Of course I also hope that the actors will act better! But acting slowly means that it will consume time, time is money!" Wang Jing secretly pointed at Xiang Huaqiang, "I am a director and a producer. I have to consider the boss's idea. Of course, the lower the budget, the better! You will get used to it in the future."

Zhuo Yi suddenly understood why Wang Jing would be considered the "king of bad movies" in the future. It was really because this fat man was a guy who puts interests first. He filmed the movies entirely for the box office, blindly catering to the audience and plagiarizing the old scenes.

Zhuo Yi thought about the movies that Wang Jing made in later generations seriously, and found that this guy's movie was indeed used repeatedly when he thought of a good plot. He stopped until the audience was tired of it. The series of chasing girls, pranks, and even gambling movies. If this continues, the audience will get tired of the movies in this series. Even if other directors make good movies, they will be resisted. "A Legend of Bad Gambling" is a good gambling movie, but he was unfortunately born in an era when gambling movies were filmed, and he could only be buried.
