The "I Believe" music video has been filmed and the post-editing process has begun.
The next day, Li Qing declined Deng Qilun's banquet and flew to Hong Kong non-stop with Liu Qin and others to begin the interview for Zhao Pan, the second supporting actor in "The Legend of Qin".
The person who came to pick him up was Liang Junfeng, the producer of the "Looking for Qin" crew.
Producer, generally refers to the producer of film and television dramas, who is fully responsible for script coordination, preliminary preparation, formation of the film crew, including the signing of contracts for cast and crew and filming equipment, as well as production cost accounting, financial review, post-production, etc.
.
The producer is the master of the crew and the highest authority on the crew. He has the right to decide to hire outstanding members and also has the right to expel members who violate disciplines on the crew.
From the formation of the film to its release, the producer can be said to be the core of the entire film.
In addition, Liang Junfeng is also the senior vice president of China Film Group, with full authority to supervise the copyright purchase, production and filming of "The Story of Qin". The idea of letting Li Qinglai serve as the second male lead in the crew was also proposed by Liang Junfeng and was approved by director Song Lun.
After receiving the reference, I decided to give it a try temporarily.
The producer personally came to pick him up at the airport, which made Li Qing and others quite flattered.
"How long does Mr. Li plan to stay in Hong Kong?"
Liang Junfeng drove a black Mercedes-Benz business car and drove Li Qing and others on the highway.
Liang Junfeng looks slightly chubby, has a board-cut hair, slightly small eyes, but is about 1.8 meters tall. He looks like he is from the Northeast. The most eye-catching thing is probably the emerald jade ring he wears on the ring finger of his right hand.
The first impression is that it is priceless.
"I'm going back to the mainland after the audition. My studio has been a little busy recently." Li Qing sat in the passenger seat and said with a smile.
Liang Junfeng praised: "Young man has a lot of potential."
Li Qing smiled politely.
In fact, Liang Junfeng was not aimless.
He has investigated Li Qing, and judging from the information he received, Li Qing is now worth tens of millions.
At the age of nineteen, he can have such wealth, which is unparalleled among his peers in the entertainment industry.
Whether it is Hong Kong, Taiwan or mainland China.
Liang Junfeng knew that most of Li Qing's wealth came from the novel "Looking for Qin", followed by his identity as a singer and his studio.
It was precisely because of this novel that Liang Junfeng had the motivation to drive himself to pick up Li Qing at the airport.
Writers, especially best-selling authors, are undoubtedly the most popular beings in the entire industry chain of the film and television industry.
Whether in Japan, South Korea, Europe, America, or Hong Kong and Taiwan, the works of best-selling authors are always very popular.
Otherwise, just because he is a mainland singer, Liang Junfeng would not bother to pay attention to him.
Forty minutes later, Liang Junfeng's car arrived at a star hotel in Mong Kok District.
Li Qing and others followed Liang Junfeng into the elevator, arrived at the fifth floor, knocked on the door and entered the hotel room.
The room is large and splendid, and is obviously a higher level than the decoration and furnishings of mainland hotels.
In the room, there is a high-definition camera, and a photographer carrying a bag is playing with the lens.
On the sofa on the other side, two men and one woman were sitting leisurely.
Seeing Li Qing's arrival, the three of them stood up, smiled and shook hands with Li Qing one by one.
Under Liang Junfeng's introduction and after chatting, Li Qing learned the identities of these three people.
The middle-aged man with a beard and a ponytail who looks very rough, like a monk, is Song Lun, the famous martial arts drama director of TVB.
The other man is Song Lun's good friend, Gao Fei, a famous Hong Kong film and television actor. He is about thirty years old. He is wearing a large suit and looks rustic. He wears a pair of glasses and his face is always stained.
He has a smile and looks slightly handsome.
During the introduction, Li Qing learned that Gao Feidao plays one of the supporting characters in "The Story of Qin", Lao Ai.
The last woman was Wu Yun, general manager of Shengshi Audio and Video, a subsidiary of China Film Group, and she personally purchased the two songs "Destiny is the Highest" and "Iron-Blooded Heart".
"You and I won't talk about other gossip. Li Sheng, let's start now?"
Song Lun seemed amiable. In fact, ever since he learned from producer Liang Junfeng that Li Qing was the director of "Looking for Qin", Song Lun decided to curb his violent temper on the set and treat Li Qing in an amiable manner.
green.
This kind of gesture is only worthy of an actor of Hua De'an's level. But it was someone else. With Song Lun's temper, he didn't even bother to be polite and directly ordered the other party to start performing.
The title of the first TVB martial arts drama director is no joke. After so many years of directing the film, Song Lun has received countless honors, which has already allowed Song Lun to ignore many young actors.
Only Li Qing, currently the most popular best-selling author in Hong Kong, could make Song Lun treat him politely.
Before Li Qing could speak, the Hong Kong actor Gao Fei next to him said with a smile: "I have no problem. I don't know if Mr. Li is ready. Mr. Li just got off the plane, so I think it's better to take a rest first."
After saying this, Song Lun and others looked at Li Qing.
Acting, like writing a book, also requires attention to state.
But Li Qing doesn't know what the status is. He can be said to be ignorant about the acting industry, a pure layman.
But what surprised him a little was that Director Song seemed to have found a companion for him.
When Gao Fei saw this, he explained: "Director Song asked me to act against you so that I can test your potential."
Li Qing was a little confused and nodded subconsciously: "That's okay."
Gao Fei smiled. He had seen Li Qing in this state among many newcomers. He was the kind of newcomer who could never be new again. He was fearless because of his ignorance.
Although the other party was a best-selling author, Gao Fei decided to let Li Qing know what it means to specialize in a profession as an actor.
Before the audition began, Director Song personally narrated the scene for Li Qing and Gao Fei.
"Gao Fei's performance is a eunuch who wields power over the world and holds the emperor in power to control the princes. He has a vicious personality, tough skills and is very imposing.
As for you, Li Qing, you are a kidnapped prince. Although you are weak on the outside, you are strong on the inside and have great ideas. You never want to escape the control of the eunuch.
Next, the general plot is that the prince wanted to escape from the palace, but was caught by Gao Fei. Well, from now on, it's up to you to do whatever you want."
I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but Director Song did not mention the plot in "Looking for Qin", but made up a scene. After assigning the identities of the two, he let Li Qing and Gao Fei play freely in their roles.
This kind of scene is very common in Hong Kong movies. Because of the popularity of Hong Kong movies, Hong Kong movies have begun to pay attention to timeliness.
The fastest crew can complete a film in ten and a half days from the beginning to the end.
Many crews also start filming before the actors get the script.
The actors' specific roles are basically free to play, and most of them flesh out the plot characters while filming and acting.
