Chapter 138 Journey to the West character set card under the instant noodle war
It's about nine o'clock in the morning.
When Zhao Donghuai arrived at ATV, Mei Xiaoqing and a group of main creators from Hong Kong (Tokyo) Love Story were already waiting.
It was planned to be filmed in early March, and now on May 20, the new idol drama with only 11 episodes in total has been completely completed, but when Zhao Donghuai discovered... Qi Qiyi in the crowd?
He was suddenly surprised and said, "Qi Sheng?"
Qi Qiyi immediately laughed and said, "Zhao Sheng can just call me Ayi. I joined ATV in March."
Mei Xiaoqing also smiled and said, "We reported it to Director Li, and Director Li should have said it, but maybe the secretarial team thought it was a trivial matter and did not report it to you, boss, alone."
"Hong Kong Island Love Story was filmed by Ayi and me together."
Qi Qiyi, this Ayi, may not sound famous, but he will produce and produce many good films in the future, including The Man of Heaven and Earth, The Love of Heaven and Earth, Genesis, Genesis Part 2, and Jewelry, etc.
It can be said that since the beginning of the millennium, he has definitely been one of TVB's most heaviest and most capable actors.
Qi Qiyi is indeed not very famous now. He joined TVB in 1976 and would not have the opportunity to direct until next year in 1986.
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "It will be broadcast as soon as the filming is completed. Let's start with one episode a day. As long as the ratings are not bad, I will definitely give you no less."
In one sentence, the creative team was overjoyed to express their gratitude.
Starring Ge Weiru, He Jiajin, Wu Yijiang, Wu Wanfang, Chen Farong, and Yam Dahua, this version of Hong Kong Island Love Story is not bad, but the total number of episodes is only 11, which is a bit short.
Broadcasting an idol drama is really a trivial matter for Zhao Donghuai. In comparison, the main creative team of Journey to the West from the mainland and the 40 episodes of Journey to the West that are about to be broadcast are worthy of serious consideration.
Also, the launch project of the new White Snake!
After sitting in the office for more than ten minutes, Qiu Shuzhen opened the door and walked in with Lin Qingxia and Xia Zuhui, while Zhang Min was busy making tea.
Zhao Donghuai also stood up with a smile, "Qingxia, I invite you here this time because I want you to act in a TV series, but you have been on the big screen for so long, if you act in a TV series now..."
Lin Qingxia nodded decisively, "Thanks to Zhao Sheng for being so considerate, this is a good thing that many people can only dream of. I would also like to thank Zhao Sheng for his support!"
Lin Qingxia is not stupid. Even if Zhao Donghuai asked her to act in a TV series before Meteor Garden, Blue Love, and Winter Sonata bombed the TV industry, she would never refuse and would not dare to refuse, let alone after F4 bombed Asia??
The projects promoted by Zhao Donghuai are definitely not bad.
Director Zhao nodded, asked several people to sit down in the reception area, and motioned to Qiu Shuzhen to get the script, "This movie will be shot in the mainland, but it will definitely not affect Qingxia and your various films being released in Wanwan."
Lin Qingxia, who had just taken a sip of tea, was speechless for a moment.
Speaking of which, at this stage, the ban on actors in the film industry is really useless.
Who makes Zhao Sheng so sexy? One blockbuster after another hits North America and sells so well? Those in the Wanwan film and television department are blocking it.
After being speechless, she smiled brightly and said, "This must be no problem."
Zhao Donghuai looked at Xia Zuhui, "Director Xia, what I want to shoot is a costume TV series, about fifty episodes, and I want to incorporate a lot of Huangmei style. The tentative plan is to have Qingxia reprise his role as the male protagonist."
"I have already written the theme song and handed it over to He Qing and Jia Hui to sing the lead vocals."
"The three of them are the core team, and we have already sent people to do things like location scouting in the mainland."
Lin Qingxia was confused at this moment, "Ah? I'm recast as the male lead??"
Upon hearing this, Xia Zuhui was excited, "Wonderful, when Director Li and I were filming A Dream of Red Mansions, wasn't it Qingxia who played Jia Baoyu?"
Xia Zuhui was the director of the original version of The Legend of White Snake and a master of Huangmei Opera. He had collaborated with Lin Qingxia as early as 1976. Sister Qingxia's role as the male protagonist was not unique to Dongfang Bubai.
In 1976, when she was only 22 years old, she played Jia Baoyu in Li Hanxiang's Dream of Red Mansions!
You must know that Li Hanxiang approached Lin Qingxia to play the role of Lin Daiyu... and she became the male protagonist Jia Baoyu in no time. This also shows how strong Aunt Qingxia's counter-narrative power is.
This is also the reason why Director Zhao feels that Lin Qingxia's performance as Xu Xian is better at this stage.
After Qiu Shuzhen brought the script and handed it to Director Xia and Lin Qingxia, Zhao Donghuai said, "Don't leave either. Each of you can read a copy."
There are already two female roles in the TV series. Ah Zhen plays Xu Xian's niece and Xu Shilin's cousin. Xu Shilin will also be played by Lin Qingxia.
Zhang Min plays Cai Yin, the rabbit spirit, Hu Meiniang's sworn sister, and Hu Meiniang also plays He Qing.
Xu Xian's sister Xu Jiaorong, he planned to let Li Zhi give it a try. Ah Zhi would have to follow He Qing and Jia Hui all the time, helping them prepare medicine and supplements every day. There was no credit but hard work.
As for the various other supporting roles and extras in the crew, there are too many choices. We will also recruit certain candidates from the mainland, and you can choose half of them.
If you ask Zhu Lin, the king of the Daughter Kingdom, to make a guest appearance as Guanyin in Xinbai, there is no difficulty or problem at all. With her joining, let the deputy director of Emei Han come forward to coordinate the filming, recruit mainland actors, etc.
This is a small thing.
Deputy Director Han will be a prominent figure in the mainland film and television industry in the future!
He doesn't know how to direct or produce, but he will go and watch it. He has been busy with his career for so long and has a successful career. Isn't it right to take a short vacation for himself?
………………
A few days later, Super Body had already grossed more than 42 million at the local box office, surpassing Rescue 2 to become the new highest box office record in the Hong Kong film industry, and was downloaded from Zhao's Cinema.
Tokyo Love Story and Journey to the West were aired on ATV in prime time respectively. TVB, which was under pressure for a while, collapsed again and was completely unable to bear it.
Hong Kong Island has changed again. Every time it is broadcast, the streets are empty!
Let’s not talk about the charm of love in Tokyo, that monkey, that monkey is really here!
No one can resist the charm of that monkey, and this has caused countless fans of the TV series Tokyo Love Story to be diverted...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is not a diversion, after all, the prime time of TV stations generally refers to after 6 pm and before 10 pm.
One is placed at the seven o'clock position and the other is placed at the eight o'clock position. They complement each other perfectly.
Nowadays, countless Hong Kong citizens feel that they are so happy this year. ATV is really full of dramas. Even if those dramas are reruns, many people can still watch them with relish and enjoy them endlessly.
And when Hulu Brothers also starts airing at 6 o'clock? TVB's ratings in prime time slots at night are incredible. It can be said that since the launch, TVB has been in such a precarious position that it has not been beaten by its opponents, and is close to the era of continuous losses.
In Hong Kong and Hao, countless TV viewers went crazy with joy. The charm of Brother Monkey and Brother Calabash could not be stopped at all. From childhood to adulthood, they killed everyone.
Throughout the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, various theme songs related to Journey to the West and Calabash Children can be heard everywhere.
Whether on the street or in the school, there are children everywhere who spontaneously compete with their friends to play the role of the Four Journey to the West and the Calabash Brothers.
Fortunately for Calabash Brothers, you play a big boy, a second baby, a third baby, etc. Anyway, the looks are similar, but their abilities are different.
But the four-person group that learns from the classics? Who is Brother Monkey? Who is Zhu Bajie? There are many groups of children fighting for this...forget it, it is really popular.
It can be said that before Journey to the West, there were very few TV series that could explain what is a true super classic of the era. Even Shanghai Beach, Meteor Garden and even Blue Life and Death, etc., in front of this super drama, they all have to be
Trembling.
Wanjia comprehensive supermarkets, including the Baijia chain, have taken advantage of the situation and launched the "Eat Wanjia Instant Noodles" card collection event with prizes?! This is a brand war in the world of instant noodles.
A pack of instant noodles may occasionally contain character cards from the TV series Journey to the West, ranging from Guanyin, Tathagata, Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun, King Tota and other gods, to the devil incarnate, the one-horned ghost king, the white-bone spirit, the nine-headed insect, etc.
etc.
Or the Seven Fairies, Chang'e, the King of the Daughter Kingdom.
Of course, the most precious four-person set of Journey to the West, especially the character card of Brother Monkey, is the rarest in proportion. Rare things are worth more.
Eating instant noodles and collecting Journey to the West character cards is a really exciting way to play. Don’t forget that the entire Baijiasurname chain has sunk to Wanwan, and the Wanwan province is also within the bombing range of the Journey to the West drama.
As soon as the card collection activity came out, countless children, including adults, were both sad and happy. The pain was that the children wanted to collect cards like crazy, begging to buy Wanjia instant noodles at every turn, and stealing money from their families to buy them.
Many Hong Kong residents in Haowan are hoarding more and more instant noodles in their homes.
Happiness is... A child who used to be naughty and had a bad temper will definitely become easy to manage and have a good temper if you can get him a variety of Journey to the West character cards.
If you could get a character card of Brother Monkey? It would be amazing. If any child could have this card, he would be at the forefront of the trend in front of his peers or on campus!
Belongs to the level of a child king.
Also, adults who find themselves hoarding more and more Wanjia instant noodles and character cards at home suddenly find it magical and unexpected that many character cards still have merit, such as... for example, Journey to the West
There are so many beauties in the character Kari! Many adults were surprised. Afterwards, they discovered that I had watched Journey to the West before?
Did I miss it? Why are there so many beauties in this mythical blockbuster? When I first watched The Seven Fairies, all my attention was on a monkey... Only after I got the character card did I realize, wow, The Seven Fairies
It's really good.
What about the seven fairies? Even the boy who fanned the alchemy furnace for Taishang Laojun looked pretty and a good boy. As for Chang'e, the mouse spirit, the spider spirit, etc., they were simply...
On the contrary, it is the king of the daughter country. Everyone has already experienced the grace of this majesty in John Wick 1. (Running for the modern Diao Chan) The female majesty also performed her talents. Even now, she is still stunning, but many other beauties are still...
…The more the merrier, it’s easy to feel good when you look at beautiful women, and you can live a long and healthy life.
Such new discoveries have made many adults less concerned about their children's crazy purchases of Wanjia instant noodles. After all, a pack of instant noodles only costs two yuan and can be regarded as a full meal. Who are you looking down on?
Of course, Zhao Sheng is a decent person, and each character card will be given to the actor a dime. Monkey Brother, Bajie, Sha Seng, and Tang Monk are given one Hong Kong dollar per card. Their character cards have the lowest proportion. Director Yang is also one
Each card costs one Hong Kong dollar. Her character card positioning is that it can be exchanged for the Journey to the West series. Any character card can be multiplied by 3, including one Yang Dao card that can be exchanged for three Monkey Brother cards!
Calabash Brothers also has card collection activities, but one is a real-life character card package, and the other is an animated character card package.
Under the bombardment of live-action mythological TV series and animated series, Wanjia instant noodles, which were originally sold in a variety of fast-selling products, became extremely popular, suppressing other instant noodle brands and almost died.
That means the war has begun. The war is coming? The war is over!
In the past, other instant noodle brands from Wanjia Supermarket and Baijia Chain were also put on the shelves, whether it was Hong Kong brand, Wanwan brand, or Dao Guo brand, etc. Everyone found it tragic. With the hit "Journey to the West", Wanjia seemed to be like
The war cry has just been announced and the war is about to begin.
They have been directly hammered to death!
Really, no matter whether it is the previous strong beer, Jianlibao or Han Tianxia series, there has never been such a smooth and exaggerated war that has the final say!
And the four-person group in the Journey to the West TV series?
These four people really, as soon as they landed on ATV, they just started a simple conversation show. They followed the host's questions and talked about interesting things during the filming. The ratings of TVB's programs at the same time, which could once be beaten, fell below 5%.
Just go on stage to perform a drama program or a TV clip in a large theater like the Lee Stage, and the audience will be even crazier than when the super-body blockbuster was released.
Shao Yifu, including other major newspapers, magazines, etc., spent a lot of money to invite them to do programs. From top to bottom, everyone made no less! Even the director made no less. Not to mention the income from talk shows, ATV directly
With a price of HK$50,000 per game, TVB and other newspapers and magazines that I brought along could only follow suit and pay high prices.
I heard that people in the film and television industry from island countries, Thailand and other countries want to spend millions of dollars to ask Director Yang to go to them and guide them on how to make TV series!
Also in late May, Zhao Donghuai and the White Snake crew had moved to Nandu.
TVB's Shao Daheng said that his emotions can also be very stable.
Because since New Year's Day, TVB's Eight Fairies has been launched with two powerful songs (Calorie) and (NoBody) as the main hits, and then Gu Jiahui, Huang Zhan and others came up with a few more powerful songs with similar styles, accompanied by hot dances.
The Eight Fairies of TVB have been rising all the way. They are so popular that they can be called cheating in the SP world. They have albums and concerts and so on. Hua Xing is weak when it comes to making money.
The eight-girl group's concert tours are all in places like Stars, Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, and island countries, and there is a trend of chasing F4.
Even ghost guys everywhere love it so much. After all, the original girl group (NoBody) was able to become famous in North America with this song.
It is said that since the popularity of the Thigh Era, Meteor Garden has once again set off a ratings frenzy during the re-broadcast, because in reality, countless fans want to buy TVB Eight Fairies concert tickets, but it is difficult to get a ticket.
You can’t ask for anything!
But in Meteor Garden, there are really shots of F4 arrogantly spending money to let Thigh Era sing and dance (Calories) and (NoBody) live in the garden of their big villa, and they were all shot very beautifully and clearly.
The beauty of SP bloodline expansion!
What is this?? This is truly inhumane!
Not to mention that F4's clothing, food, housing and transportation are all top-tier brands in the world... Well, Jianlibao, Strong Beer, Liu Xiu Shoes, etc. are mixed with Rolls-Royce, GM, Hermès, Dior, Armani and other brands.
It really brainwashed the Asian audience. F4 is recognized as a certified global top brand.
Toyota...Toyota has wanted to develop F4 time and time again, but they also know that F4 is just a scapegoat. There is little meaning in engaging them except to make Toyota take the blame and gain global notoriety.
Zhao Sheng was able to win an F4 last year, but if you keep doing it, Zhao Donghuai can't win an F5 again in 1985? As long as there are TV stations and idol drama scripts, there are not so many handsome boys in Hong Kong? Can't you start from Greater China?
Looking for range?
Nandu.
In a hotel suite of a certain hotel, the horses were racing so fast that everyone was exhausted, and Guan Jiahui said with curiosity, "Brother Huai, your next drama "Life and Death" is really about Laura Fangna? Who will the male lead be?"
The relationship between man and ghost is still being produced.
Zhao Donghuai's next big movie is Life and Death, a Hollywood blockbuster released in 1994. The announced production cost was US$28 million, and the North American box office was US$120 million, and the global box office was US$350 million.
!
Even in Hong Kong Island in 1994, Speed of Death also took in 46 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, second only to God of Gamblers 2, beating Cheng Long's Drunken Master 2, Xing Zai's domestically produced Lingling Paint, Jiupin Zhimaguan, etc.
This is a rare blockbuster whose total box office is equivalent to three times the North American box office!
Jurassic Park 1 has more than 400 million US dollars in North America and more than 1 billion US dollars globally. Forrest Gump has 330 million US dollars in North America and more than 670 million US dollars globally.
wait wait wait.
Most of the time, the box office revenue of Hollywood blockbusters in North America is equivalent to half, or more than 40%, of the total global box office.
The film "Speed of Life" really has a wider global audience.
If he revamps the film, shouldn't he choose Lola Fanna as the heroine? After all, Lola was signed to open up the European and American markets. Monica has already become a global hit, and it's time for Lola to take the lead.
He also arrived in Nandu and started writing the script of Life and Death while traveling and relaxing. There was no rush to start filming.
"As the male lead, I intend to choose Simon Yam, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Xu Jinjiang, etc. There are so many targets to choose from. I want to support newcomers."
"We also need to recruit more white actors. For example, when the heroine drives a bus and races against death, you, Ah Qing, and Chen Hong can be passengers, Jet Binney, and Richard Norton can be passengers, or they can be
Guest policeman."
Let Laura Fernand play the leading role, and there will be no kissing scenes at the end.
As for the scene of the bus flying over the broken bridge, of course it was shot by the dragon and tiger warriors from the island country who were stand-ins. We are not afraid that difficult fighting scenes and drag racing scenes will be difficult to film. There are stand-ins from the island country and there are also many bad guys in Hong Kong who have died unjustly. They can get more pay.
Just risk your life.
A monthly salary of one or two hundred yuan is not worth risking one's life. A higher monthly salary would be worth it, and besides, there is no way those island boys can refuse.
The original life and death speed allowed the bus to fly over a broken bridge and glide 50 feet in the air. It was like a stunt driver driving an empty bus. It crashed on the first flight but succeeded on the second flight.
In the 1990s, various blockbuster films such as Life and Death were able to earn US$350 million at the box office. Now that it is released nine years in advance, before countless audiences have been brainwashed by the blockbuster, it is definitely more shocking.
After the explanation, Zhao Donghuai thought for a while and decided to call and ask Azhen to contact the male protagonists one by one and let them prepare first.
No matter who they choose in the end, they have to think about the image of the male protagonist in advance and prepare for acting or action scenes, including the female protagonist Lola Fanna, who also has to start preparing.
………………
June 1985.
As Journey to the West and Calabash Brothers continue to be popular, Hong Kong Haowan continues to tremble under the charm of mythical films.
Zhao Donghuai followed the cast of The Legend of White Snake, filming and traveling in Nandu, Zhenjiang, Sioux City and other places. During the process, He Qing's parents came to visit the cast for a few days.
Ah Qing naturally lived with her mother for more than ten days at a time.
Guan Jiahui spends every day like a year.
Also this month, Super Body officially landed in various theaters in the Mainland, including open-air screenings... No matter how much box office money it can make, the shock that Hong Kong's science fiction masterpiece brings to Mainland audiences is simply amazing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Moreover, this movie has been released in the island country for more than a month in mid-June, grossing 5.6 billion yen, and it continues to be released and continues to make money.
This year's 5.6 billion yen is equivalent to more than 20 million U.S. dollars, which is close to 200 million Hong Kong dollars. The data is close to abnormal. Wanwan was released for more than a month and cut off more than 100 million yen.
It has been released in North America for nearly a month, with a total box office of more than 140 million US dollars. The schedule given by Warner is still sufficient. It is planned to be released for seven or eight weeks, and it is planned to be released in a dozen weeks.
Europa is detonating one after another, and a white actress named Monica Bellucci is really taking advantage of this early summer to bombard the world.
Then Monica came to the set in early June to learn Mandarin with Zhao Donghuai, which alleviated Jiahui's health index.
However, Monica could only stay on the set or in the hotel without leaving home. With the popularity of "Super Body", it set off a craze comparable to the release of Shaolin Temple. It was simply...she dared to go out for shopping, and the traffic was paralyzed continuously.
.
Especially those movie fans who learned that this beautiful Italian national treasure could speak Mandarin just fine? It was only June 1985, and Zhao Donghuai had received the invitation list for the new Spring Festival Gala at the end of the year, and wanted to invite Monica to go
Sing.
After all, she was also a singer before she starred in Super Body.
The Spring Festival Gala preparation team has not even started to form a team yet we have invited you!
June……
Zhao Donghuai was still taking a leisurely vacation and took many landscape photos in the mainland. These will be memories worth recalling and cherishing decades later, when he received a call from ATV director Li Zhuanglie...
The training class for the new year has not yet started recruiting people, but the training class has received all kinds of self-recommendation letters that even a large office with an area of 1,000 square meters cannot accept.
There are a large number of white men and women inside, many of whom have international letters mailed from Europe, North America, South America, etc.
If we talk about a series of blockbusters such as Hurricane Rescue, Daredevil, and John Wick, it allowed Director Zhao to officially enter Hollywood, and allowed Zhao Films and ATV to establish their tycoon status and absolute leading presence in East and Southeast Asia.
Super Body?? Before joining the Zhao family, Monica Bellucci was a Milan show model. From August 1984 to now, in less than a year, she became popular all over the world, and her fame and prestige could not be suppressed at once.
Few Hollywood actresses??
This is just like what Li Guoxing said when he bought out the distribution rights of some overseas theaters. Countless pretty boys and girls who dream of going to Hollywood to work hard will also be diverted to Hong Kong Island in the future with the popularity of super bodies.
Last year, ATV held a training class for a year. What was the result? Not to mention F4, Zhou Haimei, Wu Wanfang and others stood out and became popular in Asia. It was the Hong Kong Island Love Story. Since the TV series was aired, it has been replayed several times.
He Jiajing, Wu Yijiang, and Simon Yam have also become popular, and Ge Weiru, Wu Wanfang, Chen Farong, etc. are not too far behind.
After all, love stories in Hong Kong will never lack commercial scenes. The actors all know that the salary does not matter, and you can really make a fortune by bringing in goods and selling them for money!
Then a virtuous circle... Stars who became famous and made a fortune called on Hong Kong Haowan fans and movie fans to go to the Baijia Surname chain for daily shopping, which in turn boosted the popularity of the Baijia Surname business.
711 In Haowan, Hong Kong, there are only a few people who have been hammered to death!
After all, Wu Yijiang, after graduating from an ATV training class, couldn't find a role with a name and lines for a year or two. Just because he recommended a surname, he suddenly appeared in Hurricane Rescue 2 and the second male lead in Hong Kong Island Love Story.
dividend.
Then Hong Kong Haowan earns millions of Hong Kong dollars from shipping goods every month, and he becomes a millionaire easily.
This is so exciting!
Li Chao suffered a loss of blood!
After a series of phone reports, Director Li Zhuanglie smiled bitterly and said, "Sheng Zhao, there are so many letters of recommendation, letters, photos and materials, etc. If we still train according to the dozens of places in the previous session, it would be a bit wasteful."
“What do you think should be done??”
Zhao Donghuai thought for a while and said, "Buy another building near ATV and transform it into a performing arts academy, like the ones like Nortel and China Drama in the Mainland."
"Didn't Jiayi Building become a branch of TVB? And Shao Daheng wants to move from Broadcasting Channel to Clear Water Bay... Let's talk to him."
"You slowly select and recruit workers. You can also hire professional teachers, including principals, from all over Hong Kong and the mainland."
Just opening a school is a trivial matter for Zhao Donghuai now. After all, the net profits of various brands of goods he controls can be hundreds of millions or even billions of Hong Kong dollars a month.
Don’t take it too easy when running a school.
………………
Throughout June, the global film industry has been dominated by the science fiction masterpiece Super Body for a period of time. By the end of June, Super Body had been released in North America for more than six weeks, and the total box office had exceeded US$180 million. With great effort, it exceeded two
Billions are not a dream.
Europa also spent about 100 million US dollars, especially Italy. When it was discovered that Monica was from Italy, with the beauty and figure of the national beauty after the ball, the box office power was simply overwhelming.
Monica, who originally took a leave of absence from school, immediately became a well-known alumnus of a certain university! The treasure and light of a certain university!
Even when Monica was originally a top student in the law department of a well-known public university in Italy, she went to Hong Kong Island last summer to pursue stars, and she accidentally became a global superstar a year later after various reports were published.
This boosted Monica's reputation by several levels.
As we all know, celebrities generally have low academic qualifications. Good guy, you are a top student in the law department?? You know multiple languages and you are now the famous female boss of Marvel??
How many comic fans has Marvel cultivated around the world?
Right now, Zhao's Pictures has film offers for Monica, and several major groups have offered her a film offer worth up to 5 million U.S. dollars from Hollywood.
She is white and has a green card from Amei's family. Her road to success is much smoother and easier than that of Lin Zhengying, Hua Zi and the others.
Regardless of North America or Europe, there were countless magazines and publications that praised Monica as the most beautiful face in the world in 1985!!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the film industry, Monica had such an explosive start. When she returned to Broadcast Road Community at the end of June, she gave herself a break.
At the same time, Laura Fangna came over excitedly, with a face full of envy, "Monica, you are really... someone has given you a movie appointment again."
"One play costs US$6 million!!"
Monica laughed, "Don't worry, it will be your turn soon. You are the heroine of Brother Huai's new play. How are you practicing?"
Laura was even more excited, "I now practice driving for more than eight hours a day. The Kowloon Bus Group assigned me a special car, several senior drivers and multiple translators."
The most outstanding thing about Lola, the heroine of Speed, is that she was ordered to drive the bus in place of the injured driver in a critical situation and race against a time bomb.
She also joined the Zhao family in August last year. She didn't make much effort at the beginning. She was mainly still learning English and controlling smoking. It was unrealistic for her, a long-time smoker, to quit smoking all at once. She controlled smoking as little as possible every day, and then tried to be able to sing alone.
a song……
On the contrary, her acting skills were much better than Monica's when she joined the Zhao family.
"Would you like me to take you for a ride in the bus?"
By the time Laura finished speaking, Monica was so amused. Did she go for a ride on the bus? This was really funny, "Forget it, let's not go. I can really easily cause traffic paralysis now."
Laura didn't insist, "By the way, when will the boss come back? I haven't chosen the male lead yet..."
Monica nodded, "Strictly speaking, compared to Hollywood and even Europe, our Zhao family's filming is very fast and efficient. It's not a bad thing to prepare for a big movie for an extra month or two."
"He should come back in July. The specific time is uncertain. After all, he is on vacation."
Over the past month or so, all the content required for the mainland shooting of the new version of The Legend of Lady is almost finished... After all, this is not a drama dominated by the mainland, and the shooting cycle is really not that slow.
Let’s just say that for the new TV series project that was started there in the 1990s, it only took a month and a half to actually go to the mainland for filming and then leave. It was still a 50-episode project.
Of course, this is just the shooting of scenes related to location. After returning to Hong Kong, we have to continue filming in the TV City and the studio for a month or two, and then it takes time to do the special effects. This was the case with the bending version in the 1990s.
Director Zhao went back to filming??Huh??
Think about it, last year he earned 200 million to 300 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange for eastern Guangdong, and the mountainous cities, Tianjin, Hainan and other places are also booming. He also donated 50 million yuan to sponsor the scientific research of supercomputing projects and donated a North American supercomputer...
There are also the Yifu Building and Donghuai Building that he started with Shao Yifu... Various buildings that began to appear in September last year have gradually spread.
Zhao Donghuai returned to the mainland for filming. If he hadn't contacted the relevant units in advance and said it was inappropriate for him to be visited frequently, he probably wouldn't have even had a holiday this holiday.
Then we were just filming a TV series called The Legend of the White Snake. There were so many experts in super-physical special effects who came to help with their own food. Of course, there were a lot of people who volunteered to help during the filming of the TV series.
The Korean factory in Emei stood in front, Zhu Lin and others, including some people from the crews of Journey to the West and Dream of Red Mansions, came to help...many immortals from the crew of Journey to the West were seamlessly implanted (Xinbai).
Although everyone feels that the ATV crew filmed the movie too fast and many details were too rough, the Xinbai crew also treated all visitors from the mainland with the same standard of hospitality as it did for Hong Kong actors.
The filming of this TV series was as smooth as the wind and fire.
………………
Mid July.
Zhao Donghuai returned to Hong Kong Island with the Xinbai crew. Naturally, the crew took a two-day break before restarting filming and continued filming at the Clear Water Bay studio.
Zhao Donghuai went to ATV before returning to the office. Qiu Shuzhen and Zhang Min, the two secretaries, had just left the crew and took their places.
I saw Li Zhuanglie running over in a hurry, "Boss, the transformation of the former Jiayi Building into a school is in progress, but the training class has temporarily borrowed a school, which has a large dormitory, and arrangements have been made."
"These are the profiles of the students who were finally selected. I feel like there are too many good candidates."
Zhao Donghuai nodded, grabbed a photo and looked at it... He was speechless after reading it. There were Li Jiaxin, Zhu Yin, Li Zi, etc., all around fifteen years old.
Gu Tianle, Jiao Enjun, etc.
These are the Chinese faces that stand out, while the white faces are Naomi Watts, Johnny Depp, Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, etc.
Looking at Zhao Donghuai, he was confused. He had just planned to start filming Speed of Life and Death. Good guy, the heroine of Speed of Life and Death nine years after the original version has been accepted as a student of the Film and Television Academy??
This is so stupid!
The accompanying information clearly explains the resumes of these guys. For example, Johnny Depp started playing in a band at the age of 12, dropped out of school to become a rock singer at the age of 15, and became a singer at the age of 20 in 1983. However, his career was at a low point and he worked various odd jobs to make money.
Last year, I participated in the performance of the horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street, but no more... I can only continue to play small roles in Hollywood.
After being brainwashed by super-body bombing and hearing about Monica's resume, I sent my resume and photos directly across the Pacific Ocean. The middle and lower levels of ATV reviewed it first and reported those who felt they had potential.
At the end of the reporting period, Li Zhuanglie, the director of ATV, felt that the handsome boy in front of him still had potential. He was so handsome and had many years of experience in supporting roles, so he was much better than many pure newbies.
The same goes for Sandra Bullock, the heroine of the original Speed 9 years later. She became interested in acting in high school. She attended a formal acting school in North America and was able to perform on Broadway. However, she was more interested in TV or movies and had no way to work with her.
Chance.
A super body from Hong Kong Island, which allowed her to see the track outside Hollywood!
The excitement brought about by super-body is not enough to make famous North American stars test here too much, but handsome boys and girls who have just entered the industry and have not had many opportunities, really don't mind sending a self-recommendation letter and bringing photos.
I originally thought that when "Speed of Life" was launched, there were relatively few white men and women to choose from, but now it's settled, it's really easy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the time comes for the male and female passengers on the bus, let Johnny Depp and Sandra Bullock also mix in?? The actor’s teammates can all choose a wave of white supporting roles.
Men, many of them here have experience in stage plays.
Compared with Li Jiaxin, who has never been exposed to acting, Gu Tianle and others have many advantages.
"The school is running well, so let's just hand it over first. How many teachers have you hired from the mainland?"
Li Zhuanglie had no idea what kind of magical resources the current first phase of Asia Opera was, so he quickly explained, "We invited ten or twenty people from Beijing, and we also found more than ten people in Hong Kong."
"At present, the main tasks of the trainees are to learn Mandarin and English. If they are energetic and talented, they can learn Cantonese. After the school is renovated, the training model will be one year, or two years and three years for graduation.
??”
In the past, whether it was TVB training classes or ATV, the training was short and fast. In just a few months of training, N types of subjects were classified, and after half a year of learning, you were thrown into a large number of TV station crews to play a small role.
Now that it has been converted into a formal acting school category, the Asian Theater Academy is referred to as Asia Theater, and is linked to ATV and Zhao Films...
Is that one year or two or three years??
Zhao Donghuai took a sip of tea and asked, "How is the operation of the school establishment qualification going?"
Li Zhuanglie said helplessly, "College qualifications are not yet available, and our Yaxi can only be classified as a community college for the time being."
"But it doesn't matter. Not many people who sign up are interested in academic qualifications."
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Then the first class that changes from a training class to a school will be tentatively decided to be a two-year system. When the university qualifications are operational, we will talk about a three-year or four-year academic system."
What are the attributes of community colleges? Similar to mainland colleges and universities. Of course, they are not the current mainland colleges and universities, but refer to the kind of college diplomas in the 21st century.
However, the current Asian Drama Academy still provides a salary subsidy to the first batch of students. After all, it originated from training classes. The monthly salary of Shao Yifu's TVB training class was about 1,000 yuan per enrollment. The previous ATV training class raised the standard
, a monthly salary of two thousand.
This was the salary standard for F4 students such as Li Ming, Aaron Kwok, and Zheng Yijian the year they were trainees.
Regardless of whether it will be changed in the future, it will be changed to students paying fees to attend school.
In the first class, little girls like Michelle Reis and Zhu Yin charged them fees. In order to realize their dreams of becoming stars, there is a high probability that all students will also pay fees, but it is not necessary. Some people's family conditions are indeed quite difficult.
"This term is still tentatively decided to give each trainee a monthly salary of 2,000. We will discuss it when the next term comes."
The situation and situations are constantly changing, and decisions on such educational matters should be made based on the situation.
The speed at which he shoots life and death movies is so outrageous that he could make Li Kui and Li Gui collide with each other! The original heroine has become a female co-star.
In the past, we were all outsiders, so it didn't matter if we were picking the wool, but now we are picking the wool of our own students' futures? Forget it, let's look at the performance of the students.
When the filming of Life and Death begins, let's give Sandra Bullock an important supporting actress first. Although the male lead in that drama is the only one, it has attracted a lot of attention, and there are also many photogenic scenes of fellow police officers.
As for Louis Koo, Chiao Enjun, etc., if they put this kind of chess together, they can produce idol dramas at any time, including in the field of ancient idols. They just need to study for a period of time first and develop the basics of acting.
By the way, if you work hard on your acting skills, you can let Johnny Depp, Nicole Kidman, etc. star in the Hong Kong version of (Love White Paper) in the future. This sequel (Tokyo Love Story) will start Kimura Takuya
The idol drama of The Way of the King.
It was also very popular when it was broadcast in the 1990s. Jiao Enjun, Johnny Depp, etc., as long as their acting skills are good, there is no reason why they will not become popular.
The five male and female protagonists in "White Paper on Love" are all very important in addition to love and friendship, and there are many white people in Hong Kong. With the addition of two white protagonists, it won't be any worse.
Love White Paper is a friendship and love drama between college students, in the style of an idol drama. There are so many schools in Hong Kong, no, when the time comes, a large number of students will play small roles, and the first batch of students from Asia Drama will be able to play small roles.
