Chapter 12 Candidates
"Great director, you're eating with us in the cafeteria!" During lunch, Chow Yun-fat and Simon Yam walked to the corner with their rice trays in a nonchalant manner. Liu Shiyu also came over, and they started chatting regardless of pointing.
Ah Fa joked with a playful smile: "Please ask me to play the leading role sometime!"
"You're not handsome enough or qualified enough. Why, you guys formed a group to watch my jokes!" Xie Changhua squinted at their smiling faces and exclaimed.
"No way, at most it's just to tease you and get some scenes!" Liu Shiyu joked: "I never thought you would do that kind of filming."
Wang Jing smiled and revealed: "You are still laughing at him. After filming, he got investment to make a kung fu movie, and he asked me to modify the script."
This was outrageous, and several people immediately changed their attitudes.
"I'm sure you heard me right. It's a serious kung fu show, not a martial arts show like that on the bed. Those people talk very messily." Liu Shiyu asked worriedly.
Xie Changhua gave him a reassuring look: "Don't worry, it's an investment from an acquaintance. I'm solely responsible for the filming. At worst, I won't be filming anymore. I'm scared of filming now!"
"Hey, I'm talking about the great director. Those people who see your jokes are really ignorant. Director, can you give us two small roles? I am also a small star, so it's not too much to show my face!"
Upon hearing this news, Fa Zai licked his face and asked. He didn't go too far. He knew what the requirements for the protagonist were, and he just wanted a small role.
"Yes, Ah Hua, it should be okay for us to be on camera. It won't affect the quality of the movie!" Ada also tried carefully from the side.
"Oh, I don't know, so I can only act as two little bitches who can take a beating and have some background. At most, I will give you a few more moves, reveal your face a few times, and take a few scenes of flattering the protagonist." Looking at it.
The two of them stared at themselves closely, Xie Changhua joked.
"Oh my, thank you so much to the great director, Ada, what a great opportunity!" Fa Zai said quickly, turning the raw rice into cooked rice, thanking Changhua for free and regretting it.
The relationship between the people before the fourth period of the training class was very good, because they were the same assessor, and sometimes they would travel together, but they were not so good that they would sacrifice themselves to help others.
"Hey, the director only gave me the basic lines, but I still want to write your characters, and you have to thank me too!" Wang Jing also joined in the fun.
"Oh my, I beg you to forgive me for being a villain who cannot recognize the great screenwriter!" Fa Zai pretended to hold his hand as if he was acting in a drama, making everyone laugh.
Xiangjiang is a place that attracts people very much, and it is accustomed to feeding people through dramas. When the Telecom was still there, Lu Yuntao, a son of a wealthy family, did not aim to make money, but gathered a group of literati and established a film production process centered on playwrights.
Zhang Ailing and others were among them. Of course, she kept winning awards, but she went too far in literature and art. Later, she began to slowly correct herself. The screenwriter observed the daily life of actors, combined with the actor's appearance, and specially wrote the script to promote the star. Unfortunately, the boss later had a plane crash.
, this system was broken, and many Taiwanese backbone directors died together. From then on, Taiwan became the ticket warehouse for Hong Kong films, and Shaw Brothers also dominated Hong Kong, but this way of flattering people has been passed down.
This contributed to the early formation of the entertainment industry where appearance determines everything, and Xie Changhua also gave up his dream of being an actor.
"What about me?" After laughing, Liu Shiyu straightened his body and asked pretending not to mind, but his eyes kept wandering.
"Oh, you, you really have nothing to arrange. You can only be a photographer and part-time as a general manager. I have made it clear that I have no experience and only have a little knowledge. The crew is all in trouble for you. Are you coming?
come."
"Of course I'm here. If you're wise enough, I'll teach you photography in vain. I won't be polite to you and will give you some advice!"
Xie Changhua patted his body: "No problem, especially camera work. If you're good at it, you don't have to be polite to me. But I won't listen to everything you say. I'm a director, so I'll scold you too. Don't blame me."
Talk about affection."
"No problem!" Several people agreed quickly.
"Call Lao Du in too, see how busy he is and how capable he is!" Liu Shiyu said, stirring a mouthful of rice.
"Of course, I want all the low-paid manpower. Hey, but don't think too much. You have to wait for a long time. The money is not available, the script has to be rushed, the actors have not been decided, and the theater chain is even more troublesome. Even the director is half
Bucket of water, just don't regret it." Xie Changhua pointed at Wang Jing again, "Especially you, don't tell anyone, you will be laughed at if you don't start work by then!"
"I know, I won't say any more. I'll just give you some advice." Wang Jing said nonchalantly, "We won't regret it, as long as we have a movie to film, the investors are looking for you anyway, so what are you doing with us?"
thing!"
"Yeah, anyway, Ada and I also showed up!" Afa patted Simon Yam's shoulder next to him.
Liu Shiyu also nodded: "I have money, so I can try new shooting methods. I will definitely make money!"
After saying this, Xie Changhua became discouraged and seemed to be in trouble for himself as a co-author.
He leaned back on the chair and looked at the four people present strangely.
"What's wrong with you? You regretted it so quickly!" Looking at his expression, Wang Jing asked.
"No, I just feel that I will never be an investor in the future. This position is too costly, especially when I see other people making money!" Xie Changhua thought for a while and said.
"You just know it!"
His words drew a group of blank stares.
After dinner, several people started to work separately, rushing to the scene, filming, writing scripts, everyone was busy with their own things, as if nothing had happened.
Wang Jing and Xie Changhua have also been discussing the script and planning everything secretly. Good news is also coming one by one. After the movie was taken off the shelves, Xie Changhua got a red envelope of 15w3w from Chen Xi. In the future, the video can also be divided into some money.
The problem has been alleviated, Wu Zhi Tang Jia also agreed, and is just waiting for the contract to be signed. Theater chain Wang Jing's father said that he can also contribute, provided that the film is good.
"Who do you think is better to be the leading actor?" One day Wang Jing came to his rental house with the script and asked him with a frown, "If you have a choice, I can also add some character drama!"
"Then it depends on who agrees to it. I don't seem to have the ability to choose someone!" Xie Changhua shook his head, "The people from Jiahe, you don't have to think about it at all. You have a lot of choices at once."
He would have liked to use someone like Yuan Biao, who was cheap, had martial arts skills, and was a bit popular, to build friendships on the side, but it was a pity that it was not possible.
Wang Jing also sighed: "Yes, if you choose, we will be finished."
"It's complicated here at Shaw Brothers. Apprentices of the popular director Chang Cheh usually don't lend themselves to smaller directors, for fear of draining the actor's fame and letting others make money. Look, do we have a chance to convince people?"
"It's impossible to be a big hit. I'll give it a try. Look at Li Hanxiang's godson and Liu Jialiang's apprentice Wang Yu. He has also acted in kung fu comedies and is popular. He also has a tacit understanding with Tang Jia. He looks good.
!”
Xie Changhua said helplessly: "If there is no other possibility, let him be tentatively assigned first, and then you can help find Zhang Che's people!"
He still had a headache about this candidate. Jackie Chan's winning method of relying on stalking rather than taking advantage of the situation made Liu Jialiang, a great martial artist who insisted on the orthodoxy of martial arts, quite concerned. He also stipulated that no one from his Liu family class could participate in the future.
