Time goes back to the same morning. Unlike the hot heat in Yanjing, the tropical and marine humid climate of Xiangjiang is more like a steamer under the scorching sun in July.

Infinite Film and Television Company, located on the first floor of an old office building in Shatin District, the air conditioning in the office has been turned to a minimum, and the few people on the sofa still cannot eliminate the heat in their chests.

"Peter, this time I'm having some trouble." The person who spoke was Er Dongsheng, a famous director of Xiangjiang and chairman of the Directors Association, who won the Best Director Award at the Academy Awards for two films: "New Love" and "Mong Kok Night".

"Yes, I just don't know if Gu Zai was really unlucky this time, and I don't know how he fell." Peter is Cheng Kexin's English name.

"I had already visited the hospital this morning. I had a fractured tailbone and could not get a cast, so I could only rest. Conservatively, it would take two to three months to recover." Liu Dehua, who was sitting on the other side, said helplessly.

"It's really a bit unfavorable." Cheng Kexin couldn't help complaining: "We're going to start filming in more than half a month, but Gu Zai was injured at this time."

The film Cheng Kexin mentioned is not "The Prophet", but a new film "Disciples" written and directed by Er Dongsheng, co-starring Wu Yanzu and Liu Dehua. Gu Tianfeng will play a very important role in it.

Cheng Kexin is the producer of this drama. The investors of this drama include China Film Group, Bona Film and Singapore Xinglin Film, with an investment of up to 40 million. Er Dongsheng specially hired the famous director Cheng Kexin from Xiangjiang to supervise the production, which also reassured these companies.

This video Er Dongsheng is adapted from his own personal experience when he was a child. At the beginning, his neighbor was a famous drug lord in Xiangjiang, but you usually don’t see any clues about him, such as a harmonious family, lovely children, well-dressed all day long, and a positive style. Later, he was arrested by the undercover police and found out that this neighbor controlled about 60% of the heroin supply in Xiangjiang.

Er Dongsheng has been preparing for this script for many years and repeatedly polished it. It was not until this year that he had the chance to bring him to the screen. He found Liu Dehua to play the role of the big drug lord, and Wu Yanzu played the role of the undercover agent who brought the drug lord to justice.

In addition to filming the police-gang battle between drug lords and undercover police, he also wants to express the harm of drugs and truly restore the lives of drug users through this movie.

In this film, he specially sets two characters, a young couple who went to Xiangjiang to make a living. The man was seduced and became a bad gambling man, and finally got infected with heroin. The woman took drugs to prove that she could quit drugs and tried drugs with her body. Unexpectedly, she eventually fell into it.

He chose Gu Tianfeng as a bad gambling character. He had been a maid and knew very well about the lives of people at the bottom of Xiangjiang. The person who played his wife was Zhang Jingchu, a popular actress who became a first-line star in the past two years.

"Now we have to replace the actors." Er Dongsheng looked at Cheng Kexin helplessly: "How about Nick? Peter, call him and ask if he has time?" At the beginning, Zhang Jiahui (Nick) was one of Er Dongsheng's alternatives.

"He is filming "Parasite". He is the starring actor in this drama and can't get away with the time. "Huangjiang is not big. As the producer of this drama, Xinbill Dongsheng is still aware of the itinerary of these Mesozoic actors in Xiangjiang.

"Andy Lau, has Adong made an appointment recently?" Er Dongsheng remembered another candidate, Lin Jiadong, who has been supported by Liu Dehua in the past two years.

"He has just taken over Director Luo's film "Whenever Changes"." Liu Dehua shook his head.

...

The cost of living in Xiangjiang is very high, and many artists are under considerable economic pressure, especially second- and third-tier artists. A drama is only hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. After removing the expenses of agents, makeup artists, assistants, etc., the pay is only enough to maintain normal daily expenses. In particular, artists need to always maintain elegance and dignity in front of the media, which requires a lot of funds to package themselves. Therefore, Xiangjiang artists will take on filming of multiple film and television dramas a year, and the schedule will be very full.

Liu Dehua is a representative of Xiangjiang's relatively diligent work. In the first half of this year, he filmed "The Insight" and "Brothers' Life and Death Alliance" and "The Letter of the Name" in the second half of this year. Gu Tianfeng also just finished filming "Baby Plan". He will carry out publicity and distribution work for this drama in September. He will join the crew to film "Happy Birthday" in October, leaving only a few months for Er Dongsheng.

More than a month is enough for Er Dongsheng. Thanks to the maturity of the Xiangjiang film industry, the filming speed is relatively fast. Du Qifeng's "Gun Fire" was completed in just 19 days, and "Young and Dangerous: The Raptor Crossing the River" took less than a month. The classic "Everything and West" took only 27 days in total, including the screenwriter and filming.

Er Dongsheng's original two-month shooting time also included outdoor shooting in Thailand. The actual shooting in Xiangjiang will not exceed one and a half months. But he didn't expect that Gu Tianfeng's injury completely disrupted his plan.

"Brother Xiaobao, I have a good candidate..." Liu Dehua looked at Er Dongsheng with some silence.

-------------------------------------

In modern society, time is money and time is resources. Wang Jinghua is also well aware of this.

After receiving the notification from Unlimited Image Company, she knew that she could not buy a plane that could not be purchased directly to Xiangjiang, so she immediately changed her itinerary, flew to Shenzhen City first, and then passed the customs from Luohu Port.

"Brother Qin, we have collected this film review report, a total of 45 film reviews, including 41 positive reviews, three intermediate reviews, and one negative review, with an average score of more than 8.5 points." Yang Siwei, who was on the same plane, whispered to Qin Yu to report the results of the company's publicity department tracking on the plane.

"Director Ning must be very satisfied with this achievement. After all, no one can avoid dislike him in any video."

"But we noticed a little bad sign. In the three mid-reviews and one bad review, all pointed to you and lowered the scores of the entire film. They agreed that Huang Bo's performance was far better than you. There were several other articles that gave high scores on this film, but they only gave you a passing performance. The score was lower among the stars."

"This is normal. Brother Bo performed very well in this drama. Not to mention me, even Brother Xu and Teacher Liu Hua are not as good as him."

Qin Yu also agrees with Huang Bo's performance in this drama. Not only is he better than himself, but even Liu Hua, Guo Tao and Xu Zheng's performance cannot conceal the glory that Huang Bo exudes.

Although Huang Bo has similar roles as himself and is both supporting roles, there are too many outstanding settings for the character Hei Pi, whether it is the ruthlessness of holding a hammer or when he is trapped in the sewer. In addition, Huang Bo's years of career in Beijing have made him think very thoroughly about the personality traits of the people at the bottom of society.

Some people are born as actors. When they were in the mountain city, Qin Yu was moved by Huang Bo's dedication. Moreover, Qin Yu had just graduated not long ago, and his acting skills were still very awkward, so it was normal that it was not as good as Huang Bo's performance.

“It’s just that we found someone was leading the pace.”

"Do you know who is leading the rhythm?" Qin Yu frowned when he heard Yang Siwei's words.

"I don't know yet, but I guess it's related to the nomination of the Golden Eagle Award or brand endorsement."

"The main reason is that you have risen too fast during this period and have moved someone else's cake a little." Wang Jinghua, who was sitting next to him, said lightly: "Actually, don't care. You just need to do your own thing well, and other companies will help you with it."

"Okay, thank you Aunt Hua."
