Fang Jing is not a bad person. The reason why he helped Zhou Peng was not only for the sake of money, but also because he felt that she was a rare talent and a rare conscience.
The entertainment industry is in chaos right now, with all kinds of bad things happening all the time. Many people are on the verge of committing suicide and are frantically trying to do something. There are very few people who dare to say no to something they don't like.
After leaving the restaurant without returning to his apartment, Fang Jing went straight to the airport and headed towards Sichuan Province.
The opening ceremony of "Swordsman" has already passed, and he was unable to make it in order to record the singer and complain about the event.
Fortunately, he is not the protagonist and does not have to report on it on the first day.
"Scene 3, Scene 6, Swordsman, Begin!!"
Siao Ao Li almost always shoots every scene, there are many outdoor scenes, the crew is too lazy to bother, and in order to save money, most of the scenes are shot on location.
After the crew agreed to donate three million incense money, director Lu Yang successfully brought 70 or 80 people to the Qing Palace on Qingcheng Mountain for filming.
When Fang Jing arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, the crew was already filming. Linghu Chong, played by Zhang Zhiyao, was ordered by his master to go down the mountain to deliver a letter to Qingcheng.
That's right, the protagonist of this drama is played by Zhang Zhiyao. Previously, half of the entertainment industry actors were chosen, but few of them fit the image.
The older ones have acting skills, the younger ones have no acting skills, and the pay is extremely high.
"That's my price. If it's too much, you can find a donkey to act. That one is cheaper."
This was Lu Yang's exact words when he was looking for a second-tier star, which made him angry.
There was no other way. Fang Jing called him multiple times before he finally settled on Zhang Zhiyao and brought him back from the brink of traveling.
Not to mention, Lao Zhang is indeed a male god in ancient costumes, and his green shirt makes him look extraordinarily casual.
Holding a sword in his hand is very consistent with the image of an ancient knight, and now he is responsible for the appearance of the entire crew.
"Master Mo, what a coincidence. How is your health these days?"
Fang Jing did not interrupt their shooting, but walked around, and happened to see a middle-aged man wearing Taoist robes practicing martial arts in an open space not far away.
It was none other than the monk Mo Yunxiu who called the Yuedian headquarters to complain about him.
"It's you!!"
Even if Mo Yunxiu were to kill him, he would never forget Fang Jing's face. During the time when Swordsman was in full swing, many local young people went to the mountains to buy martial arts from him.
There are also a few junior high school students who have been bullied by bullies all year round. One day they skipped school and came over, saying they wanted to become a monk and practice martial arts. After completing the training, they would find a place to take revenge.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, the middle-aged Taoist said nothing and turned around to continue punching him.
"Master Mo, I didn't expect you to actually know martial arts? What's the name of this boxing set? It looks very powerful."
"Health-preserving boxing, a popular product, free shipping on a certain product. It has no inner strength and can't hurt anyone. The effect is almost the same as radio gymnastics."
Being used to being asked questions, Taoist Master Mo answered casually.
Many people come to Qingcheng Mountain to travel, and many people see him practicing martial arts. From last year to now, there are not only 1,000 but also 800 young people who want to learn this martial arts.
When they saw him practicing martial arts, everyone's eyes lit up, as if they were seeing some unique treasure.
"Haha!!" Fang Jing smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said, "I'm really sorry about what happened last time. You've been troubled a lot this year, right?"
"Thanks to you, it's okay!!"
Mo Yunxiu was telling the truth. Since Swordsman became popular, the number of tourists coming to Qingcheng Mountain has increased significantly, and their income has also increased a lot.
This time, the local tourism bureau also wanted to let the crew film here to achieve a better publicity effect. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not.
It's a pity that the publicity is in place. A lot of people come to watch the filming every day. It will probably become more popular after the TV series is aired.
It's hard for practitioners like them, who are disturbed every day and rarely live a good life for a few days.
The old man didn't know what to say. Fang Jing talked for a while, but he just hummed a few times.
Fang Jing was too lazy to continue chatting. He stood aside and watched for a while, making sure that the punches would not burst out with energy and the old man would not exhale like a sword, then left.
…
"Fang Jing, good morning! When did you come?"
Yu Xiaowei, who was running halfway up the mountain, was sweating profusely. As soon as he sat in the pavilion to rest, he met Fang Jing and said hello with a smile.
This is a scenic spot and requires tickets, but the crew does not need to enter and exit. They only need to bring their ID badges.
The air in the mountains is good, and it’s good to have nothing to do. There is nothing to do in the past two days. Yu Xiaowei came to run and exercise. Unexpectedly, he met Fang Jing on the first day.
"I just came here this morning. Teacher Yu, you are so energetic!"
"Haha! No, it's not happening yet. I might not have the time to do it in a few days."
"Running is good. It's a good habit. I'll run with you tomorrow. What time do you want us to run? Let's make an appointment."
Seeing that Fang Jing had no intention of blaming him, Yu Xiaowei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took care of others. Even though he didn't have a role in the movie, he was still part of the cast. Others were filming, so running by himself would inevitably mean what he said.
Although Fang Jing is young, his skills are not that sophisticated, and his behavior is completely different from that of young people.
If you think he is easy to bully, you are wrong.
Don't think of young people as bosses. If you really want to get angry, it's just a matter of words to fire him.
"Don't call me Teacher Yu, just call me Brother Yu. I left at seven o'clock today and came to explore the way first. Tomorrow it should be half past six."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at half past six tomorrow."
After chatting for a while, Fang Jing said with a smile: "Brother Yu, what do you think about what I said last time?"
He wanted to sign Yu Xiaowei and Wu Gang, but now several days have passed and there is no news at all.
"Still considering."
"Are you worried about anything?"
"That's not true. I just feel that your treatment is too good, and I feel a little guilty about taking this money."
"Teacher Wu and others also have this idea?"
"Yeah! Almost."
Fang Jing laughed. He had been doing it for a long time because he was a little eager to get things done. The benefits given were so good that others didn't trust him.
It's not his fault. As a man of two generations, Fang Jing naturally knows that the entertainment industry will usher in a cold winter in the near future. More than 70% of actors will lose their jobs. More than a thousand companies in Hengdian close down every year. All veteran actors are in hot demand.
"Brother Yu, what kind of conditions do you think are suitable?"
Yu Xiaowei was speechless, thought for a while and said: "We just want to have some scenes to film, but we don't want to be the kind of people who shoot no matter what scenes they have all year round."
"Understood!" Fang nodded, "I can take pictures if I want to. When I don't want to take pictures, I can go home and take care of my children. Life is free, right?"
"That's not what I meant, I..."
Fang Jing waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know. In fact, I also yearn for that kind of day. I can do what I like without worrying about food and clothing. This is indeed a kind of enjoyment."
"I can agree to this condition. Do you think this will work? Let's sign an ordinary contract. The signing fee will be one million a year, and the contract will be for five years. The old rules are that I won't take a share of the filming, and you can also take on external films."
"The company will call you when there is a play, and the role will be decided separately. I will not delay your time for rehearsing the play. I will definitely notify you in advance."
Looking at the troubled Yu Xiaowei, Fang Jing continued: "To be honest, the company has a lot of dramas, at least for next year, both in movies and TV. There is no shortage of dramas or money. What I lack is good actors.
"
"If Brother Yu wants to make more money, he can just act in a few more movies. If he wants to be more leisurely, he can easily earn millions by acting in one or two movies a year."
Without saying anything, Yu Xiaowei frowned and said after a few minutes: "You...the company won't break the law, right?"
"Ahem!" Fang Jing, who was drinking water, choked and looked at him speechlessly: "You want to spend a long time just because of this?"
"Don't worry, it's definitely not illegal. Nanjing is not listed now, so it won't engage in fake ratings and box office. It's even more impossible to evade taxes. I've told you about this, and the company has money from top to bottom.
