005 [Start playing as a corpse]

"Hurry up, it's too late!" Cousin Wu Chenggang hurried outside with his briefcase.

Kang Jianhua slowly drank half a bowl of porridge before following him. His cousin Wu Ruiqing shouted from behind: "Cousin, where is the "Looking for Qin" you wrote last night?"

"On the cabinet next to the sofa." Kang Jianfei's voice came from the corridor.

Shikunwei is not far from the radio channel, and the straight line distance is only about two kilometers.

What made Kang Jianfei speechless was that after his cousin went downstairs, he actually moved out a bicycle, patted the bicycle back frame and said very arrogantly: "Get on the bike!"

Kang Jianfei got on the bicycle helplessly and soon arrived downstairs of the Radio Channel Radio Radio Station. After cousin Wu Cheng pushed his bicycle to store it, he took Kang Jianfei on the TVB bus to Shaw Brothers' Qingshui Bay set.

Kang Jianfei and the others arrived early and found a good seat by the window to sit down. Someone got in the bus one after another, and the bus was filled soon.

"Borrow, borrow..." A young man rushed up, pushed the crowd away and leaned in. Seeing that there was no seat behind, he stood next to Kang Jianfei's seat.

Kang Jianfei looked up and said, hey, who is this kid not Tang Zhenye?

"Hello, my name is Kang Jianfei." Kang Jianfei stretched out his hand very friendly. He climbed up from the bottom, and would not miss any opportunity to accumulate connections. In his eyes, whether it is a high-ranking official or a beggar, everyone has their own value, and there is only a question of whether they can be used by me.

As soon as Tang Zhenye stood still, he saw Kang Jianfei saying hello to him. He didn't even understand what happened, and subconsciously shook hands with Kang Jianfei and said, "Hello, my name is Tang Zhenye. I just graduated from the wireless training class. Are you also an actor on the wireless station? We seem to have seen it somewhere before."

I've seen it before and there's a ghost!

Kang Jianfei ignored his polite words and said with a smile: "Those who can enter the training class are very good. Students from professional schools have much better acting skills than ordinary people."

Tang Zhenye was only 20 years old at this time and was still very young. He dropped out of school to work because of his poor family. He finally got into the wireless training class last year. Now he has just graduated from the training class and has only played a supporting role several times. Kang Jianfei's compliments made Tang Zhenye very helpful, but he said modestly: "I have never played any important roles in any place."

Kang Jianfei said angrily: "I think you have a very good appearance. As long as you seize the opportunity, you will definitely become popular."

Tang Zhenye, this young man, was happy and had a good impression of Kang Jianfei. Coupled with Kang Jianfei's tone, he felt that Kang Jianfei was very skillful.

The two soon chatted together, and the direction of the topic was controlled by Kang Jianfei. Before the bus could reach Qingshui Bay, Tang Zhenye's ancestors took the initiative to speak out and told Kang Jianfei a lot about TVB.

Apart from the name, Tang Zhenye knew nothing about Kang Jianfei.

Finally arrived at the Qingshui Bay set, and everyone flocked to get out of the car. Tang Zhenye smiled and waved goodbye to Kang Jianfei: "A Fei, have tea together another day!"

"Aye treats me, I will definitely arrive." Kang Jianfei also waved his hand and said.

At this time, Qingshui Bay studio was not the later TV city. Its main function was to make movies for Shaw Pictures. The entire studio consists of an administrative building, a cinema, a post-production center, an exhibition hall and five video studios, and there were no employee dormitories.

Wu Chenggang took Kang Jian to the second factory. The bald Master Ding was fiddling with two horses.

Seeing the two of them coming, Li Jiading said to Wu Chenggang: "Acheng, go ahead and I will discipline this kid."

Wu Chenggang patted Kang Jianfei on the back and smiled at Li Jiading, "Then please A Ding."

As soon as Wu Cheng finished speaking, he went to work on the lighting equipment. Li Jiading waved to Kang Jianfei and said, "You go and bring the action props over and put them behind the set platform over there."

"Okay, Master Ding." Kang Jianfei went to move props honestly.

Kang Jianfei knew that this was Li Jiading testing him. If he was cheating at this time, he would not want to be a disciple of Li Jiading again. However, Kang Jianfei never really thought of becoming a disciple. He was not lazy or diligent when carrying props. Anyway, he just lived a mediocre life, which made Li Jiading, who was secretly paying attention to him, was quite dissatisfied with it.

Kang Jianfei didn't care about Li Jiading's idea. He came to the Qingshui Bay studio to see if he could meet some insiders. After all, if he wanted to make a movie, he would have to form a crew team, and he alone would not be able to make a movie.

Before this, I could only write novels honestly and talk about other things when I became famous.

Some people may say that Kang Jianfei can write a good script directly to a film company or a TV station, which can be sold and become famous.

In fact, it is not that simple. A music company received countless song samples every day in later generations, most of which were thrown directly into the trash can, and no one could take a look at it. The same is true for scripts. Film and television companies would deal with a large number of scripts every year, including many good works of high-quality quality.

There are many reasons why a drama is decided to start filming, and good scripts only account for a small proportion.

Even if you send the script of "Titanic" to Hollywood film companies now, the script will have a chance of being in the trash can.

Especially in Hong Kong today, movies and TV series are aimed at box office and ratings. Before the work is filmed, no one dares to say that you can make money by just looking at the script.

In order to ensure the top spot, Hong Kong film and television workers now have three choices:

First, adapt the works of famous novelists, such as the novels of Jin Yong and Gu Long;

Second, the director and producer provide the concept and framework, and then find the screenwriter to customize the script;

Third, pay for a screenwriter to write a script.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to make money by selling scripts directly. They have to wait until you become famous first. Or they are appreciated by the producer or director, and then take out their scripts for them to read.

Even if the scripts Kang Jianfei wrote now will be noticed, given his reputation now, the scripts will be suppressed to an outrageously low price. The money earned by writing scripts is not as good as writing novels.

Another point is that at this time, Hong Kong movies, especially kung fu movies, many directors don’t even have a text script, let alone drawing storyboard scripts. They often have some ideas in their heads, and then rely on their mouths and face to get the funds, and find an assistant director, martial arts, photographers and artists to discuss for a long time, and immediately decide to slaughter the pig’s head and worship the gods to start the filming.

Like the "Huang Feihong" series more than ten years later, many classic fight scenes came out like this. There was no storyboard script for these action scenes in advance. Only when the martial arts finger and actors arrived at the shooting site were designed to design the action lines based on the scene environment and experience.

…………

…………

Kang Jianfei had just moved a bunch of swords and Tang Zhenye, dressed in ancient costume, came over and said in surprise: "Hey, A Fei, you are here too!"

"Yes," Kang Jianfei patted the dust on his hands and smiled, "That's right, there was a chance to pick it up early in the morning."

Tang Zhenye took a sword in the pile of props and said reluctantly: "I am just a disciple of Emei who has no lines."

While the two were talking, a few more people came over, but they were Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhao Yazhi and Wang Mingquan in ancient costumes.

Needless to say, the handsome Qiu Guan is both dressed in a chivalrous dress, with a unique charm that is different from modern beauties, and she looks bright with every frown and smile. Especially Wang Mingquan, Kang Jianfei did not expect that she was so beautiful when she was young, and she was incomparable to Zhao Yazhi in terms of appearance and temperament.

Tang Zhenye just joined the crew today. When he saw two beauties, Zhao Yazhi and Wang Mingquan, he stood there in a daze.

Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: "What props do you want?"

Zheng Shaoqiu yawned sleepily and said, "Sword."

Zhao Yazhi compared three fingers and said, "Three swords."

Kang Jianfei found three good-quality prop swords and said to Chu Liuxiang: "Hero Chu took the sword!"

The filming is now the version of "Chu Liuxiang" by Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi. This drama was broadcast on TVB half a month ago, and it attracted a lot of people as soon as it was broadcast. Because the ratings were so good, the station is now preparing to change the script and add the series.

At this time, most TV series on TVB were filmed and broadcasted at the same time. Because of the temporary decision to add the series, Zheng Shaoqiu, the starring actor, was under a lot of pressure. He had been filming at high intensity for nearly a month and could only sleep for an average of 4 hours a day.

Zheng Shaoqiu was in a daze because of lack of sleep. When he heard Kang Jianfei calling Chu Daxia, he woke up like a conditioned reflex and subconsciously reached out to catch the sword.

Kang Jianfei's funny actions left an impression on Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhao Yazhi and Wang Mingquan. The two beauties even smiled at Kang Jianfei. However, they only left the impression of Chu Qian. Maybe they would forget it if they turned around. After all, they are popular film and television stars, and Kang Jianfei is just a grassroots who just smuggled from the mainland.

After the three of them left, Tang Zhenye excitedly patted Kang Jianfei's arm and said, "A Fei, Sister Zhi and Sister Quan seemed to have noticed me very much just now, and they even smiled at me when they left!"

Kang Jianfei said half-jokingly: "Do you like it? If you like it, go and chase them, I will support you."

"I am a big star, how can I like me?" Tang Zhenye looked at the backs of the two beauties and said in a low mood. "I don't know how many men in Hong Kong want to pursue them. It's not our turn, let alone Sister Zhi is already married."

Two men chatting about the goddess, but saw Li Jiading throwing over a costume and scolding loudly: "A Fei, are you here to chat? You even want Qiu Guan and others to come here to get the props themselves. You won't take the initiative to send them over? Go and put on makeup and change costumes for me!" After saying that, Li Jiading said to Tang Zhenye again, "And you, stand there later, wait until Chu Liuxiang stabs with a sword, you will be like this..."

Kang Jianfei hurriedly ran to wear the costume, and then asked the makeup artist to put on his hair condom. The glue stuck so much that the skin on his temples almost took off.

After Kang Jianfei finished dressing up, the set was set up. A fat man leaning on a rattan chair moved his butt with difficulty, holding the guide and shouted: "Everyone is buried in their own seats, ready to start the microphone!"

Kang Jianfei only had a scene in the next scene. At this time, he stood aside and watched Wang Tianlin direct the show, and couldn't help but make various comments to the crew in his heart:

The action scenes are too bad, and they belong to the style of martial arts movies in the 1960s. They will be completely eliminated within ten years.

The lighting effect is not good. A few decades later, the mainland filmed a medium-investment TV series, with only two trucks of lighting equipment, and the four lights in front of them were shabby enough.

And the photographer, how did the ** camera position be placed? This lens is obviously more effective at low camera position, so why are you standing there stupidly doing a plane...

Well, the above belongs to Kang Jianfei's inner thoughts, he wouldn't be so stupid that he would say it out.

Even if it is said, the fat director and producer Wang Tianlin will not correct it. Because this is a TV series that is filming and broadcasting, there is not much time to carefully consider the composition of the camera and the light and shadow effects. In terms of money, the budget for filming will be greatly increased.

Shaw Brothers Pictures and Wireless Channel have the same principle, whether it is filming movies or TV series, that is - more, faster, better, save!

After filming a scene, Li Jiading shouted to Kang Jianfei: "A Fei, come here!"

After Kang Jianfei ran over, Li Jiading instructed: "You rushed towards Chu Liuxiang with a knife and acted very fiercely. Then, when he stabbed him with a sword, he immediately fell to the ground and died. After he died, he didn't hear the director shouting "Ka" and not be allowed to get up. Continue to pretend to be a dead body on the ground. Remember?"

"Remember." Kang Jianfei didn't expect that his film and television career in this life would start with pretending to be a corpse.
