Chapter 16 Assistant Director

Later, because Zhao Yazhi wanted to put on makeup, she agreed to appear and left first, while Zhou Runfa sat in front of him and started reading the script of "Shanghai Bund".

Wang Tianlin continued: "What about the second requirement?"

"I want to be an assistant director." Li Zhiwen said.

Li Zhiwen is just a chick. He didn't learn it systematically at all in his previous life. He just read some books and read movies made by others to analyze how to shoot. In this life, he is not engaged in movies. He just reads a web article that says that assistant director is the fastest job to learn how to make movies.

Assistant director is the most basic position in the production department. It has a low status and a large workload. It requires communication with props, costumes, drama departments, etc., and to find external locations, coordinate on-sites, etc. In all shooting processes, the assistant director must participate in the entire process. In short, the assistant director is the most tiring and insignificant job in the entire crew.

"Hahaha", Wang Jing laughed directly from the side.

Wang Tianlin said in surprise: "Why do you want to be an assistant director? This is very tiring."

Li Zhiwen replied with a smile: "It's nothing, I just study it, and I want to try making a movie in the future."

Li Zhiwen did not lie. Since he wanted to make a movie, he naturally had to study first, learn to get along with all kinds of people and handle all kinds of jobs. Of course, this position can be exposed to all aspects of the crew, so it is convenient to poach people at that time.

Wang Jing and Zhou Runfa were both surprised when they heard this. Although they were frequent visitors to small screens in later generations, they had not entered the small screen yet, so they naturally could not understand.

Wang Tianlin said: "The filming of "Chu Liuxiang" is one week away, and the shooting time of "Shanghai Bund" is set to be ten days later. Since you want to be an assistant director, you will leave the coordination schedule and supporting issues to you. This is my first job."

"No problem." Li Zhiwen said.

At this time, Chen Yulian put on her makeup and walked towards her place, grabbed Li Zhiwen's hand and said, "Awen, how about it."

Li Zhiwen said: "Uncle Tianlin has adopted my script, and the male and female protagonists have been decided. The male protagonist is played by Zhou Runfa, and the female protagonist is played by Zhao Yazhi. Let me introduce it to you, this is Zhou Runfa." Li Zhiwen pointed at Zhou Runfa and said.

Wang Jing showed a strange smile next to him. The entire wireless station knew that Zhou Runfa was chasing Chen Yulian. Now Li Zhiwen introduced Chen Yulian to Zhou Runfa. Could it be that my boyfriend introduced his girlfriend to the suitor? What else is more strange than this?

"We met before, he was chasing me." Chen Yulian said to Li Zhiwen in a low voice, and then generously introduced Zhou Runfa: "Brother Fa, this is my boyfriend Li Zhiwen. I just entered this industry, please take care of me." He also secretly rejected Zhou Runfa's pursuit.

"I dare not, Mr. Li has such great literary talent, you should be taking care of me. Thank you for your support and give me the opportunity to play Xu Wenqiang." Zhou Runfa said.

Zhou Runfa is not a polite word. After Zhou Runfa became famous because of "Crazy" two years ago, although she had been making appointments for drama, she had already shown signs of breaking the road. After just reading the script of "Shanghai Bund", he could see at a glance that there were signs of great success in this drama. He was very grateful to Li Zhiwen for his choice to be the male lead. Since Chen Yulian already has a boyfriend and this person is particularly talented, she must not offend him. Besides, there is no grass in the world.

Then he said to Chen Yulian: "Sorry, A Lian, I'm sorry for the trouble you caused to you before, and there will be no more in the future."

Wang Tianlin on the chair said, "Since the matter has been opened, it's good that this is the case, and there will be no gaps in cooperation in the future. A Lian, please be ready to enter."

"Okay, Uncle Tianlin." Chen Yulian said.

The crew of "Chu Liuxiang" began to continue filming, and the three people who were idle had to retreat aside.

Li Zhiwen wanted to make friends with Wang Jing and Zhou Runfa. One of them was a famous low-cost comedy director in Hong Kong. Although he kept making bad movies, he basically did not make investors lose money. As for Zhou Runfa, he was the box office leader in Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s. The two played a crucial role in Li Zhiwen's movie blueprint, so they made an appointment to have afternoon tea together.

He did it as soon as he said that, because the schedule for Zhao Yazhi and Zhou Runfa had been set, Li Zhiwen went straight to the crew of "The Man in the Net" the next day to look for Lu Liangwei.

When he arrived at the crew, he suddenly saw Wang Jing surrounded by a group of people and didn't know what to do. Li Zhiwen was very surprised. Shouldn't Wang Jing be on the crew of "Chu Liuxiang"? Why did he come to the crew of "People in the Net" again?

He walked over to say hello to Wang Jing and asked, "Brother Jing, why aren't you on the crew of "Chu Liuxiang" today?"

Wang Jing looked up and said, "It turned out to be Awen. The producer temporarily changed the script. The other screenwriters were not free, so they asked me to save the situation. I just came here not long ago."

This is also the characteristic of Hong Kong-made movies and TV series today. They are filmed and broadcasted while playing, and the subsequent plot is adjusted based on the audience's reaction to the previous plot.

Originally, Wang Tianlin was the producer of "The Man in the Net", but later "Chu Liuxiang" started filming. Radio Station asked Wang Tianlin to hand over "The Man in the Net" to Li Tiansheng and started filming "Chu Liuxiang" with all his strength.

Just recently, Lishi launched a long series of "The Legend of Silkworms" in prime time, and its wireless ratings fell below 50 for a time. It completely destroyed the diversified program settings of wireless. The wireless station was forced to respond and began to shoot "Chu Liuxiang" with all its strength to fight against "The Legend of Silkworms".

"Awen, what are you here?" Wang Jing asked.

"I'll come to find Lu Liangwei. Yesterday, Uncle Tianlin decided to start filming "Shanghai Bund" ten days later. I'll confirm his schedule." Li Zhiwen said.

"Lu Liangwei, come here." Wang Jing shouted into the distance.

Although Wang Jing is just a screenwriter, he is Wang Tianlin, a well-known director of TVB, and no one dares to offend him.

Lu Liangwei trotted all the way and said breathlessly: "Brother Jing, what are you asking for me?"

Wang Jing pointed at Li Zhiwen and said, "He is asking you for something."

Li Zhiwen said: "Producer Wang Tianlin is going to film a new drama. I recommend you to be the second male lead. You can arrange the schedule. By the way, the male and female protagonists are Zhou Runfa and Zhao Yazhi. The new drama will start filming ten days later." Li Zhiwen nodded to Zhou Runfa who was about to play, as if he had greeted him.

Lu Liangwei was surprised and questioned: "The second male lead? Or is it a scene with Brother Fa and Sister Zhi?"

He can't blame him for questioning. He came to the crew of "The Man in the Net" last month to play a supporting role. Unexpectedly, someone asked him to play the second male lead.

Li Zhiwen asked: "Are you not interested? Sister Lian specially recommended you to me. Let me introduce you, I am Chen Yulian's boyfriend."

"Yes, interested!" Lu Liangwei quickly agreed, thinking to himself that it was Chen Yulian who said something behind his back. It seemed that he had not taken care of Chen Yulian in the crew.

Ever since she learned that Chen Yulian’s boyfriend is a writer, Lu Liangwei has been interested in making friends with her, and now she finally gets rewarded.

Li Zhiwen said, "Do you have a contact number? I will call you when the filming starts."

Lu Liangwei ran to the side and took a pen to write down the phone number and handed it over to Li Zhiwen.

Li Zhiwen patted his shoulder and said, "Do it well, I've messed up. You are the actor I chose, and it's not good to mess up my face."

"Don't worry, Brother Wen, I will definitely act well and I will never embarrass you." Lu Liangwei swears.

Li Zhiwen got the contact information of Lu Liangwei, but he didn't expect to stay in the crew of "The Man in the Net" and was about to leave.

"Awen, wait, wherever you go, I'll send you." Wang Jing trotted over.

"Brother Jing, the script has been revised?" Li Zhiwen said.

"The change is over. Where are you going? I'll drive the car and take you there for a ride." Wang Jing said.

Li Zhiwen told Wang Jing about his address at home.

Wang Jing said in surprise: "My family lives on the 25th floor, how many floors do you live on?"

Li Zhiwen said in surprise: "My family lives on the 12th floor. I just moved here. Brother Jing, where do you live?"

"Yes, the house I bought there is mainly close to the set and the wireless station. It turns out that I lived so close to you. From now on, I will ask you for the manuscript of "The Legend of Qin". You can't help but give it to me."
