In an era where traffic is king, how far can idol artists go to exaggerate?
The size of the hotel room, whether there is a treadmill, the number of dishes for the meal, what to drink for afternoon tea, the number of hours of shooting, and the number of assistant security guards, all these must be written into the contract.
The key is that the price is quite expensive, easily tens of millions, and Film Didu dare not quote such a price.
"Teacher Wang, you are wrong. Fang Jing has no agency and has terminated his contract. Now he is cooperating with Sister Hua and the others."
"Wang Jinhua?"
"Um!"
Zhang Zheng was moved and glanced at Fang Jing a few times. Wang Qianyuan stopped talking.
To say that the strongest agency in the country is probably Wang Jinhua's team, which includes several movie stars and actresses, as well as other talented actors.
If Fang Jing can cooperate with Wang Jinhua, there must be something special about him, otherwise Wang Jinhua would not invest in him for no reason.
After thinking about this, Zhang Zheng and Wang Qianyuan no longer regard Fang Jing as an ordinary traffic idol.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Fang Jing's play began, wearing a black hat and white clothes, black soap-soled boots, and a sword on his waist.
"How's the matter you were asked to investigate?" In a dilapidated hut, Wei Zhongxian, with white hair and ragged clothes, sat on the Grand Master's chair and asked with his eyes closed.
The thin old man's voice sounded lazy, as if he hadn't woken up.
The performer is veteran actor Jin Shijie, who made many movies in Hong Kong in his early years.
"Father, I found out that the three of them are named Shen Lian, one is named Lu Jianxing, and the other is Jin Yichuan."
Fang Jing plays Wei Yan, Wei Zhongxian's godson who is highly skilled in martial arts and is usually responsible for assassinations.
Afraid of waking up Wei Zhongxian, Fang Jing lowered his tone and spoke softly when speaking.
Behind the camera, director Lu Yang nodded, picked up the intercom and said: "Stuck! Come on again, Wei Yan takes two steps back, Wei Zhongxian sneers, your martial arts are so strong, he shouldn't let you be so close."
"As a confidant, you should also know his temper. There is a safe distance between the two parties."
"I understand, director!" Fang Jing nodded heavily.
It's ng right from the start. This good start is a bit unlucky and a bit embarrassing.
Jin Shijie said with concern: "Relax, look down, and don't look directly at me. This is the attitude of a subordinate towards a superior."
"Thank you, Teacher Jin!" Fang Jing was grateful, knowing that he was telling a drama.
The older generation of actors have been working hard for many years and have a lot of experience. If they can get some guidance, they will avoid many detours in the future.
Try it again, no more fuss, just pass it once, Fang Jing clenched his fists to cheer himself up.
He has not given up on acting during this period of time. He has already finished reading the books given by Xu Zheng, and has read two of them several times, and his acting skills have improved a lot.
Combined with the observations on the set, I gradually figured out some tricks. It became much easier when I was acting and I was not as tired as I was at the beginning.
When he went to the dressing room to remove his makeup, Fang Jing did not leave and continued to watch Zhang Zheng and others' performances. Lu Yang's rhythm was very fast, almost always taking one shot and rarely taking two shots.
Zhang Zheng and Zhou Yiwei are probably the best performers in this group. Wang Qianyuan and Nie Yuan are also good at acting, but there are too few scenes to show off their skills.
One of the highlights is Nie Yuan. He does all the scenes involving horseback riding himself and handles them with ease.
Wang Qianyuan and others suffered a lot. In order to practice horse riding, their buttocks were bruised.
…
"Since facial expressions cannot be seen, your body language must move and use your body to convey the emotion you want to express."
"Don't move your eyebrows around, it's very dramatic. Your tone should be decisive, clean and devoid of any emotion."
"There are fewer steps. Wei Zhongxian is the master and you are the servant. He takes four steps to sit down at the table. You can't do the same as him. You can choose to take one or two more steps, so that the sense of hierarchy comes out."
After filming the second scene, Fang Jing, who was supposed to be finished, was pulled by director Lu Yang to shoot two more scenes.
It would be a pity to let him go back just like this, he is a popular young man. We can shoot a few more scenes and mention Fang Jing's name when we go back to promote it.
I'm happy to have a few more scenes, but it's a pain for Zhang Zheng and others. His lines are all made up right now, and he doesn't have time to figure them out, so the acting is stiff.
There was no other way, so the director gave Zhang Zheng the task of coaching the scenes and trying to complete the filming in the shortest possible time.
The actor taught me step by step, and the effect was great. Fang Jing's acting skills improved steadily. I felt it was much more useful than reading a few books.
He just asked questions if he didn't understand them. He kept asking them all day long. Now Zhang Zheng was eager for Fang Jing to leave quickly.
"Congratulations to Fang Jing on finishing filming!"
“Back when I was promoting a movie, I had to repost the meager amount.”
"Yes, Director Lu, what are you doing? I can't have it!" Looking at the red envelope handed over by Lu Yang, Fang Jing waved his hand and refused.
"This is a rule! Everyone has a dead character, a few hundred dollars, a little care, and good luck."
Life is like a play, and play is like life. It is somewhat unlucky to die once in a play, and directors usually give a red envelope.
Whether it's because I'm wandering or because I'm looking for psychological comfort, I've been going through this for decades.
Shooting period costumes is better, but when shooting ghost movies, there are more rules: burn incense and worship Buddha, and shout a few times before each shooting starts.
When not filming, the camera was covered with a red cloth, and women were not allowed to sit in the prop box.
"Thank you!" Hearing that there wasn't much money in it, Fang Jing took it. It didn't feel like much, and it cost him eight hundred dollars.
"I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with all the teachers in the future. Goodbye."
After Fang Jing left, there were five or six more contacts on his mobile phone, including Zhang Zheng, Zhou Yiwei, Nie Yuan and others.
"It would be a pity not to cooperate with such a good actor in the future."
Fang Jing felt worried when he thought that during the film and television winter period, a large number of people were unemployed and Zhang Zheng had no choice but to lower himself to act in TV series.
Back in the Magic City, Yang Ning started to complain before she even sat down, "You are really good at it. You don't want the 300,000 yuan salary even if you don't want it."
"I've been here for so many days, and I haven't made a single penny. Not only did I pay for several cartloads of watermelons, I'm impressed by you."
"Don't give me three hundred thousand!"
"Sister Ning, Director Lu asked Zhang Zheng and others to give me some advice. Do you think I can still ask for this money? Are you embarrassed to ask for it?"
Yang Ning nodded, "Yes, you really shouldn't ask for it. Anyway, you are not short of the money. In this case, give me back my eighty-eight thousand."
"What eighty-eight thousand?" Fang Jing was stunned.
"Yesterday, Chen Haibo's child was one month old and you were not here. I gave you a longevity lock."
"It's a full moon now?"
Fang Jing remembered that when she learned acting from Chen Haibo a few months ago, Qu Shanshan was still pregnant.
"Thank you, Sister Ning. I owe you the money now and it will be deducted from your salary next month."
Yang Ning covered her chest with regret, "You are really stingy! Why did I agree to run out with you in the first place?"
"Hehe, everyone has boarded the pirate ship. It's too late now."
After stretching, Fang Jing yawned profusely and said, "I'll go lie down on the sofa next door for a while. Call me after dinner."
Lu Yang was really crazy about filming. He worked hard to save money. He had to shoot during the day and at night, so he had no sleep for several nights. He could only sleep for a few hours during the day before he could get up in the afternoon.
There was a cameraman who fell asleep standing up while filming.
