375 [Unreasonable]

Song Cheng in Liyuan Amusement Park, the crew of "Bao Qingtian" is still busy filming. Although the TV series will be premiered tonight, it has no impact on them. They can shoot whatever they should do.

Songcheng was built to attract tourists to consume, so it was not prohibited from entering like Shaw Brothers' studio. At this time, some tourists were standing aside from afar, watching the crew filming curiously. The most important thing was that the costumes in "Bao Qingtian" were very distinctive, and the clothes on Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao were so handsome.

After a set of shots was finished, the crew was about to transfer the shooting venue. Li Lichi ran over and said to the assistant director: "Director Zhu, the scene on Wenchang Street is ready."

"Well," the assistant director nodded and said to Li Li, "Ali, there will be a scene tomorrow and needs Pan Zhiwen to play a guest role. This is his phone number! Be sure to notify him to go to Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. If the phone cannot be reached, go directly to Oriental Entertainment Company to find someone."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Li Lizhi ran away with the phone number.

"Wait a minute," the assistant director called Li Lizhi and said, "What's the hurry you are so anxious? I have nothing to say about it."

Li Lichi quickly turned around and asked, "What else does Director Zhu have to do?"

The assistant director stuffed a form into Li Lizhi's hands and said, "In the afternoon, you need about 30 supporting actors. I have a list here. You can arrange the extras. If the number of people is not enough, come back to report to me. By the way, take this list and find the props group to check it out, don't shoot the props and have not kept up."

Li Lichi learned his lesson this time and did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked, "Director Zhu, do you have any other instructions?"

The assistant director said hilariously: "If you can do these things well, it's enough for me to give you an excellent grade. Do you think this bowl of rice is so delicious?"

"I have something wrong with doing it, and I want to ask you for advice from Director Zhu." Li Lizhi said with a pity, and then flattered him a few more before going to do the business.

After working for about two hours, Li Lichi finally arranged the supporting actors he needed in the afternoon, and all the props needed were in place. It was almost noon, and he didn't have time to eat the boxed lunch, so he immediately borrowed the phone to contact Zhong Zhiwen.

This time, there was a problem. No one answered Zhong Zhiwen's private phone or broker's phone number, so Li Lizhi had to go to Oriental Entertainment Company.

After explaining with the artist department there, Li Lichi hurriedly ran back to report the situation to the assistant director, and then received several small tasks.

After working hard for more than half a day, Li Lichi finally breathed a little relieved. He ate the cold lunch box and sat next to him chatting with the rest of the crew.

Like Tian Qiwen, Li Lizhi decided to engage in filming at a very young age, and rushed in without hesitation. However, because the two of them had different internal conditions, Li Lizhi joined the director team as soon as they entered the circle, while Tian Qiwen had been on TV for several years and could only play short-term workers and play supporting roles.

The "Future Star Training Class" of Oriental Entertainment Company has to recruit some behind-the-scenes personnel in addition to recruiting actors and students every year. Li Lizhi is one of the students behind-the-scenes. After learning basic theories in the company for two months, Li Lizhi was thrown to the crew of "Bao Qingtian" and studied with one of the assistant directors.

"Ali, come here." The assistant director suddenly waved to Li Li.

Li Lichi hurried over and asked, "Director Zhu, what are your instructions?"

The assistant director took a piece of paper into his hand and said, "This is your internship."

Li Lichi opened it and saw a big word "you" on it, and some comments that praised him for his active and insightful work.

"Director Zhu, didn't you say you would have to have three months of internship? I've only been out for less than two weeks and the internship period is over?" Li Lizhi asked in confusion.

The assistant director looked around and found that no one was paying attention to this place. He whispered to Li Lizhi: "You are lucky, your theoretical score is the best in the class, and you have never made any mistakes in the crew's practice. I guess you were attracted by the big guy above."

Li Liz was delighted and quietly stuffed a cigarette to the assistant director, asking, "Director Zhu, I have just entered the industry and don't know anything. Please give me some more."

The assistant director took the cigarette and said, "The TV production department is about to open a new drama. I guess I want to transfer you to a new crew to start construction. By the way, I just received a call and asked you to go back to DreamWorks for a meeting at 3:00 pm."

"Dreamworks? Not Oriental Entertainment?" Li Lichi asked with wide eyes. He is still a student of Oriental Entertainment Training Class.

The assistant director nodded and said, "Yes, it was a meeting when you went back to the TV production department of DreamWorks for a meeting. It was only 3 o'clock in the future, and it was too late for you to take the bus."

Li Li was ecstatic and said a good word to the assistant director, then took the double-decker bus to DreamWorks. It was only 2:30 when he arrived at the company, and there was no one in the conference room on the No. 2, so Li Li Chi had to sit there and wait.

After waiting for a few minutes, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a beautiful woman with big breasts came in.

"You are Tian Niu!" Li Lizhi suddenly recognized the beauty and rushed up in surprise and shouted.

Tianniu's real name is Zhu Kaili. She was originally from Suzhou. Later, her parents moved to Hong Kong, but her family moved to Taiwan soon. Tianniu was born and raised in Taiwan. She became the Golden Horse Awards Best Actress for starring in "Titi's Diary" six years ago. She also hosted the opening ceremony of two Golden Horse Awards.

Due to the decline of Taiwanese movies, Tianniu had no scenes after filming "Girls' School" last year, so she could only find a way to develop in Hong Kong. Her sister Tianni used to be a Shaw Brothers porn star, but later she switched to Lishi to film several movies. Now she is in a semi-retired state after getting married.

Tianniu's brother-in-law is Yue Hua, the former Shaw Brothers star. However, Yue Hua has long left Shaw Brothers to switch to Lishi, and occasionally goes out to take on movies from independent companies.

After the separation of production and broadcasting of Phoenix TV, Tianniu's sister and brother-in-law transferred their agency to Oriental Entertainment Company, so she came to Hong Kong to develop and signed into Oriental Entertainment directly. This time, the new "He comes from the Jianghu", several main actors were selected by Kang Jianfei himself, and Tianniu was directly brought to the crew.

Tianniu was stunned by Li Li's exaggerated shouting, and then said in a not-standard Cantonese: "Hello!"

Li Lizhi was also embarrassed and smiled awkwardly, "Hello, Miss Zhu, my name is Li Lizhi, you are your fan."

"I didn't expect that I also have movie fans in Hong Kong." Tian Niu has a carefree personality and loves to laugh, which sometimes gives people the feeling of a silly girl.

Both of them are familiar with each other and have become good friends after a few words of chat. At this time, Zhou Xingchi and Mao Shunyun walked into the conference room at the same time.

When Mao Shunjun saw Tian Niu and Li Lichi, he immediately said to Zhou Xingchi: "I said come early, you see that someone is waiting here."

Zhou Xingchi looked at his watch and stretched his body and said, "It's only 3 o'clock in the next ten minutes."

Mao Shunyun put the handbag on the seat next to her. After sitting down, she found that Tian Niu looked familiar. After looking at her for a few more times, she couldn't help asking, "Are you Sister Niu Niu?"

Tianniu didn't know Mao Shunyun, but she still smiled at her and said, "Hello, I'm Tianniu."

"It's really Sister Niu Niu. I thought I had recognized the wrong person." Mao Shunyun said in surprise, and immediately ran to Tian Niu and sat down.

Tian Niu is famous in Hong Kong not only because she won the Golden Horse Award in Taiwan, but also because she has filmed several movies at Shaw Brothers, such as Huang Rong, who starred in Zhang Che's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and her partners are Fu Sheng, Hui Yinghong and others.

After Zhou Xingchi and Mao Shunjun finished politely with Tian Niu there, Li Lichi greeted him: "Hello Sister Yun, Hello Brother Xing, my name is Li Lichi, I am a student of the Future Star Artist Training Class."

Zhou Xingchi is one year younger than Li Lichi, but no one counts his age. Anyway, the one who becomes popular is "Brother".

But Zhou Xingchi could only be "Brother Xing" in front of a newcomer like Li Lichi. Within two minutes, when Wan Ziqi came in, Zhou Xingchi immediately shouted affectionately: "Brother Liang, it turns out that you are the male lead in this drama."

Wan Ziqi rubbed his forehead and said, "I still don't know what kind of scene to shoot, do you know Xingzai?"

Zhou Xingchi replied: "It seems that the title of the film is "He comes from the Jianghu."

Wan Zixu frowned and asked, "Is it a costume film?"

"I don't know." Zhou Xingchi shook his head.

As the two were talking, Wu Mengda suddenly walked in, so everyone in the conference room looked at him.

After signing in to DreamWorks, Wu Mengda never played the lead role, but he often played some important supporting roles, and his pay was higher than the protagonists in those low-cost movies. And there are rumors that Wu Mengda had a close personal relationship with Kang Jianfei, Zhou Runfa and others, so his status in the circle has always been high - for young actors.

"Wu Mengda is here too?" Zhou Xingchi looked at Mao Shunyun in confusion. Wu Mengda never filmed a TV series after leaving TVB.

Wu Mengda was still a little depressed at this time. He was a movie star after all, and now he turned to film TV series, which was really a bit dissatisfied.

After the separation of production and broadcasting on Phoenix TV, the actors of TV dramas no longer earned their wages. Instead, they first signed the agency contract with Oriental Entertainment Company, and then signed a specific TV contract with DreamWorks' TV production department. When signing the contract, they agreed on the pay for each episode. DreamWorks paid the film contract to Oriental Entertainment Company, and the agent sent the money to the artist.

For those TV actors who have been filming for a long time, the income of one year after the separation of production and broadcasting is equivalent to that of several years, but for those actors who don’t take on many roles and have low pay, they often face the dilemma of hunger.

For example, "He Comes from the World" has 30 episodes, and Wu Mengda's appearances are about 20 episodes, each episode costs about 3,000 yuan, and he can get a pay of 60,000 yuan in total. Wu Mengda is now making a movie, and if he has too few scenes, he will not get this number.

Wan Ziqi's pay for each episode of the TV series filming is 5,000 yuan. After filming a movie "He comes from the Jianghu", he will directly earn 130,000 Hong Kong dollars. If it were his salary for one and a half years ago.

Wu Mengda walked into the conference room before her feet, and several people came in one after another. The more people came in, the more Li Lizhi felt that this TV series was not simple, and it was probably a big drama like "Bao Qingtian".

"He Comes from the World" is called the nonsensical beginning of Zhou's family. It was a TV series with high ratings in TVB a few years later. But at this time, DreamWorks TV Production Department came to film, and from the producer to the starring actors below, they were almost the original cast.

Liu Jiahao is the producer and director of this drama, and he is also the husband and wife. His wife Mei Xiaoqing serves as an assistant director and manages and coordinates everything in the crew.

Li Lichi, who had not graduated from the training class, actually got the title of a group of deputy directors, which made him feel like he was dreaming.

"Everyone, the whole script framework and character design, as well as the script for the first episode were created by Mr. Kang himself," said Liu Jiahao, sitting at the meeting table. "The candidates for the leading actors were also selected by Mr. Kang. He has great confidence in this drama and hopes that everyone will not let down Mr. Kang's ardent hope... Although Wan Ziqi is the male protagonist of this drama, Xingzai, Ada, Shun Yun is also very important. You three are responsible for the funny. This is a nonsensical comedy..."

"Wait," Zhou Xingchi interrupted and asked, "Producer Liu, what is a nonsensical comedy?"

Liu Jiahao coughed and said, "It's a nonsensical comedy, it's Mr. Kang's name of this type of comedy. To put it bluntly, it's just that it's just that it's just that it's just that it's just that it's just that it's just that it's just that it's too ugly, so it's simply called nonsense. It's just that kind of mess without a head or end. You can go and see the "Owl" by the three brothers of Qin Pei-Jiang and David two years ago..."

"I have watched "Owl", and it is really vivid to describe it as nonsense!" Li Lichi suddenly said.

Among the people here, Li Lichi is the most inconspicuous little character. As soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him.

Liu Jiahao said: "Then tell me your understanding of nonsense."

"It's just a silly, a little more humorous, can be illogical, despised, and gives the audience a neurotic vent." Li Lizhi did not feel scared in the eyes of everyone, but instead started talking.

Liu Jiahao nodded and said to Li Lizhi: "I'll get the script later. Ali, Xingzai, Ada, Shunyun and the others communicate and discuss it more to see how to perform this nonsensical comedy well."

Li Lichi naturally agreed happily, but Liu Jiahao, who was assigned the task, was quite troubled.

After the meeting, Liu Jiahao and his wife Mei Xiaoqing drove home together. Liu Jiahao said, "Aqing, what do you mean by Mr. Kang? I have to make a nonsensical comedy. Will the audience buy it?"

Mei Xiaoqing said: "Why do you think so much? Mr. Kang's call is as good as he wants. It's not possible that the ratings are all blamed on you."

"I'm afraid that the ratings of the film will be bad, so I have to take the blame." Liu Jiahao sighed helplessly.

Having said that, Liu Jiahao was just complaining, and he still supported Kang Jianfei in his heart. After the TV station's production and broadcasting separation, Liu Jiahao, who had filmed "The Legend of Qin" with Kang Jianfei, also successfully entered the TV production department of DreamWorks as the producer, and the money he earned was at least doubled than before.

Liu Jiahao believed that Kang Jianfei's reform was very wise because he belonged to the group of people who benefited. In addition, more people cursed Kang Jianfei in private because Kang Jianfei's reform made those people lose their jobs or their salary and income dropped sharply.

When they returned home, after Mei Xiaoqing cooked the meal, the family watched TV while eating. Today, "Bao Qingtian" premiered. Liu Jiahao and Mei Xiaoqing and his wife were both curious about this drama that had been planned for two months, wanting to see how good it is.
