Chapter 377 Fat Head Tuo, Cloud Crane and Roaring Dog
Xiangshan Film and Television Base, under an awning.
The second uncle wore an iron hoop on his head, with long hair hanging loosely on both sides, and Buddha beads hanging on his chest. He was dressed as a tutu and sat under a folding stool with his legs crossed and smoking.
Some time ago, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Taiwan and a certain film and television company jointly funded the production of Jin Yong's martial arts drama - "The New Deer and the Cauldron".
"The New Deer and the Cauldron" is one of the few major martial arts adaptations by Jin Yong in recent years.
The investment alone was nearly 150 million, and a well-known martial arts director was invited to direct.
This director has made two Jin Yong martial arts dramas with good reputations and is very capable.
In addition, the screenwriter of "New Deer and Cauldron" is a gold medal screenwriter who has written many high-quality scripts, and almost 90% of the plot of the script follows the original work, with minimal original adaptation.
As for the actors, the male lead Wei Xiaobao and the second male lead Kang Xi, one is a young star who has been popular for two years, and the other is a relatively promising new acting star in the industry.
One is responsible for building popularity and the other is responsible for ensuring the quality of acting. Each performs its own duties.
Shuang'er, Princess Jianning, Ake and other female protagonists are basically popular actresses and Xiaohua who are well-known in the industry. Although their acting skills are not great, they still have some basics.
The rest of the supporting cast are all veteran actors, and there are even a few big names, which firmly maintains the lower limit of this drama.
As for the behind-the-scenes part, whether it's the service, photography, action, or special effects, there are a lot of talented people there, and many of them are even the team that Shanhe worked on when he filmed "Seven Swords."
Judging from the configuration, this "The New Deer and the Cauldron" is somewhat real, at least it is much more reliable than most Jin Yong martial arts dramas.
This is also because this drama is mainly dominated by Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan.
In order to save money and exchange various benefits, the film producers sometimes have to do some perfunctory things, but the platform parties will never spend a lot of money to cheat themselves.
As long as you find a knowledgeable leader and strictly control quality, the quality will be guaranteed.
At least my second uncle has been on the set of "The New Deer and the Cauldron" for half a month, and he feels that this set still has some merits.
Although there is still some gap between the overall drama and Shanhe drama, compared with the chaotic crew outside, it is much better. The old man is very optimistic about the prospects of this drama.
"Second uncle, why are you running here?"
A fat man dressed similarly to his second uncle came out of nowhere and squatted next to his second uncle with a smile on his face.
It was Gao Mingliang who played Yang Baolu in Traffic Station Duology back then.
After Gao Mingliang became famous with his role as "Yang Paulu", he joined a film and television company at a very fast speed. At that time, he did get some good resources, but because of this, he missed out on Shanhe Success.
When Shanhe fully rises and all its artists become prosperous, Gao Mingliang will forget about the regret in his heart.
Based on his original friendship with Zuo Le, if he continued to follow Zuo Le, he would be a die-hard Yuancong veteran.
Even if his ability is not as good as that of Gao Xinjian and Mingyan, and he cannot become Zuo Le's right-hand man, there is still no problem for an ordinary high-level executive. No matter how bad he is, he can easily become a golden supporting role like Jiang Chao and Lin Yongjian.
It's not like now. Although he doesn't have a lot of drama appointments, he is still a third- and fourth-tier actor. If Shanhe pulls out an artist at random, he can be beaten by him in terms of job position and salary.
It's not that Gao Mingliang didn't want to join Shanhe, but firstly, he had contracts with other companies, and secondly, Shanhe had no shortage of artists of his type, so there was no need to spend resources on cultivating them.
The third and most important reason.
Gao Mingliang was initially promoted by Zuo Le as a group performer, but after he became famous, he signed a contract with a company without even saying hello to Zuo Le.
This was nothing at all. After all, Zuo Le had no intention of going it alone at the time, and it was normal for Gao Mingliang to plan for his own future.
But the key is that after Gao Mingliang joined the new company, when he participated in "Traffic Station No. 2", he was the first actor in the entire crew to ask for a salary increase.
In fact, this matter is not very clever or authentic in a strict sense. When he first participated in "Underground Traffic Station", he was an extra actor and the pay was not high. After he became famous, he naturally wanted to earn more.
This is correct in itself, but the operation was a bit too hasty.
In Zuo Le's view, Gao Xinjian discovered it all by himself and then became famous. After becoming famous, he started to "make trouble" in various ways.
Although it's not ungrateful, it's a bit disrespectful to him.
In addition, Gao Mingliang was a group performer and his acting skills were not that outstanding. Later, after Zuo Le got to know the Kongwen Department, he had no shortage of experienced actors.
Even if the literary department is sometimes not enough, Zuo Le thinks of the actors in the underground traffic station and would give priority to actors like Wu Yue, Bao Dazhi, and Chen Weidong who have good acting skills and are pleasant to work with.
Slowly, the relationship between Gao Mingliang and Zuo Le became increasingly cold.
At that time, Gao Mingliang was busy establishing a foothold in the new company and didn't pay much attention to it. By the time he came to his senses and looked at the popular Zuo Le, it was too late to mend the relationship.
Coupled with the above two reasons, it is very difficult for Gao Mingliang to enter Shanhe.
………
But recently, Gao Mingliang saw new hope, that is, he accidentally met his second uncle on the set of "The Deer and the Cauldron".
The two played the roles of the senior brothers, namely Fat Shou Tuo from the Shenlong Sect. The second uncle is the senior brother Fat Toutuo, and he is the junior brother Shou Toutuo.
In the original work of "The Deer and the Cauldron", the fat-headed camel should be tall and thin, while the thin-headed camel should be short, fat and round, and the latter of the two is a senior brother.
However, after the second uncle played this role, the crew suddenly changed the setting in order to accommodate him.
As for why he played such a small supporting role with his second uncle's status, the main reason is that he is a die-hard Jin Yong fan and loves to play roles in Jin Yong's dramas, and he especially wants to play the peerless master in the book.
Last year, in a version of "Dragon", he went to interview the sweeping monk, but the director disagreed and finally let his second uncle play the role of Yun Zhonghe, the flower picker among the four evil villains.
There was another time when filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he ran over and wanted to play Wang Chongyang, and the Northern Beggar Hong Qigong could also do it.
Although the film crew was very covetous of the second uncle's popularity, they felt that he wanted to play Wang Chongyang. Lin Chaoying was so angry that he could lift the coffin board, and the beggar second uncle looked quite similar, but they were afraid that he would not be able to portray the heroic spirit of Hong Qigong.
After much deliberation, I asked my second uncle to play Ke Zhen'e, the leader of the Jiangnan Seven Heroes.
The second uncle himself was quite satisfied, but unfortunately the project was aborted due to various reasons.
The second uncle's dream of becoming a hero was shattered again...
This time Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan were filming "The New Deer and Cauldron", and my second uncle came to visit again after hearing the news.
This time he was smarter and knew that it would be too much for him to play Chen Jinnan in this way, so he aimed at Hong Antong, the leader of Shenlong Cult.
Unexpectedly, the actor for the role of Hong Antong has been cast for a long time. The actor is a big-name and veteran actor, so he can't just change him.
The crew of "The New Deer and the Cauldron" were also smart and were reluctant to let the popular actor Er Jiu run away, so they changed the script overnight and invited him to play the role of Fat Tou Tuo.
Fat Toutuo had a lot more roles than in the original work, and many of Lu Gaoxuan's and other Shenlong Cult's roles were given to him. The second uncle saw that the role was good and the pay was high, so he accepted the role.
After officially joining the group, he discovered that his "junior brother" was his old acquaintance Gao Mingliang.
The second uncle didn't have any prejudice against Gao Mingliang. Seeing this, Gao Mingliang hurriedly hit the snake with a stick and hung around the old man every day.
When we were filming "Underground Traffic Station", because of the seniority between the director Zuo Le and his second uncle, some of the young actors on the crew also called him second uncle.
After many years, Gao Mingliang called his second uncle this way again. It was inevitable that his second uncle felt cordial and took more care of Gao Ye.
Even though the second uncle is usually a quiet person, he has a powerful nephew to control him, and no one dares to provoke him easily.
The directors and producers in the team all looked like Mr. Yan when they saw him, and the young leading actors and actresses were even more amazing. They almost treated him as an old god, hoping to be favored by him, recommend him to Zuo Le, and skyrocket.
You know, someone has previously revealed that the recently popular Jiao Jun was able to get the role of Erlang Shen Yang Jian because he fell in the eyes of his second uncle.
Later, the rumors became more and more sinister, saying that Jiao Jun had become his second uncle as his godfather, and that he and Zuo Le were godson cousins, and that he would be favored by Shanhe in the future.
So now many young actors in "The New Deer and the Cauldron", including Gao Mingliang, want to see if they can find a chance to get married to their second uncle.
Some shameless actresses even want to be their second uncle's "goddaughter" so they can experience what it's like to be the younger aunt of director Zuo Da.
Fortunately, the second uncle kept his integrity and had an agent (son) and assistant (daughter-in-law) to take care of him, so he did not ruin his reputation for the rest of his life.
………
"Are you done filming?"
The second uncle saw Gao Mingliang's fat body squatting in discomfort, so he offered his folding stool and stood up by himself.
Gao Mingliang had just been filming a long scene and was really tired. After saying a few polite words, he sat down and wiped his sweat with his sleeves.
"This fight scene is really tiring. The pressure was so great that my waist almost broke. However, the two action directors were not satisfied with it. If the director hadn't given instructions, we wouldn't have been able to finish the filming in the afternoon."
"what is this?"
The second uncle curled his lips: "This director's requirements are much more relaxed. When I was filming "Seven Swords 2" and "Lotus Lantern", some actors hung out for a whole day and couldn't even walk well the next day.
You know, Mao Tong from our company, when he was filming "Baolian Lantern", he was hung alive and cried. He put it down for half an hour, wiped his tears and went up again.
Xiao Gao, you tell me every day that you are envious of this and that of mountains and rivers. If I really let you go, would you be able to endure this hardship?"
Gao Mingliang stopped talking. His family knew about his family affairs. Although he has acted in many dramas over the years, his overall acting skills have not improved much.
Coupled with the loose shooting environment in the film and television industry, he has long been a veteran. He has always done the same thing when filming. If he can achieve 80% of his ability, he will never give an extra cent.
Such a professional attitude is obviously not compatible with Shanhe, who has always had high standards and strict requirements...
Looking at Gao Mingliang's appearance, the second uncle felt a little resentful that steel could not become steel. Among the actors in "Underground Traffic Station", except for the older generation who didn't like to work hard, the young actors Gao Mingliang was the worst.
But he didn't realize it, and he delved into crooked ways every day, without putting his seriousness into the right place.
The second uncle had established a good relationship with him in the past few days, so when he saw this, he couldn't help but mention Gao Mingliang a few more words.
"In the actor's profession, you don't have unique innate appearance conditions, so you have to rely on your real strength to speak hard.
Let’s take Jiao Jun, who is the most popular person outside, I have worked with him in three dramas. Except for particularly difficult actions, he has never used a stunt double. He can speak the lines as thick as two fingers and has repeated the scene more than 30 times without any complaints.
He is handsome, and he works so hard and conscientiously in his acting. Not to mention that I like him, all the directors who work with him like him.
Otherwise, do you really think that just by saying a few nice words, I can get the company to give him such an important role as Yang Jian? If Jiao Jun hadn't caught the eye of my eldest nephew, he wouldn't have said anything to me.
Make fun of the company's drama.
So, Xiao Gao, you still need to be strong in order to make iron. If you are not strong enough, even ten bole and noble people can’t help you.”
The second uncle's words were really heartbreaking, and Gao Mingliang was also touched. At least when the second uncle saw him filming again in the afternoon, his complaints and dissatisfaction on his face were significantly reduced.
However, no one can tell whether this state lasts for three minutes or continues forever.
The second uncle didn't want to take any more care. After everything was said, Gao Mingliang didn't call him "second uncle" in vain. He was not his nephew, so there was no need for him to keep an eye on her and worry about her.
If he has that kind of time, he might as well go online and see the rainbow farts that netizens praise him for...
That's right, because of the barking dog in "The Prequel to the Lotus Lamp", the second uncle is famous again...
Last year, "Lotus Lantern" was a hit, and the CP composed of Erlang Shen and Roaring Dog was recognized by many viewers. This time, "Lotus Lantern Prequel" naturally many people want to see the past of this pair of "loyal dogs and loving owners"
past.
The plot of "The Prequel to the Lotus Lantern" also lived up to everyone's expectations, raising the banner of "Qian Dog CP" high.
From the beginning when Roaring Sky Dog was still a little puppy, Yang Jian saved it from the butcher's knife several times. Later, the two became master and servant, and made an oath of life and death.
Then one man and one dog rushed to the Kunlun Mountains to become his disciples. There were many difficulties and obstacles on the way, but Yang Jian saved the life of the Roaring Sky Dog, and the Roaring Sky Dog also saved the life of Yang Jian.
Just seeing this, the audience who advocated "Qian Dog CP" became excited.
When they later saw the Roaring Sky Dog transforming and following Yang Jian in a "naive" manner, these "CP fans" were completely in a climax.
When my second uncle was filming "Underground Traffic Station", he and Kuro Teng also formed a CP.
Known as the "double cute CP" of Jia Mengmeng and Hei Mengmeng, this pair of CPs are quite famous on the currency website, and there are new related clips every year.
But now, the newly born "Qian Dog CP" has the tendency to catch up from behind.
Especially in the plot aired yesterday, Yang Jian was preparing to take revenge from heaven and fight to the death with the Jade Emperor.
In order not to implicate Xiaotian Dog, he scolded him angrily, made harsh words, and severed ties with Xiaotian Dog, but Xiaotian Dog saw his thoughts and followed him closely, preparing to live and die with Yang Jian.
In the end, Yang Jian did not hesitate to break the Roaring Sky Dog's legs. Looking at Yang Jian flying up to the sky to fight to the death, the Roaring Sky Dog fell to the ground and cried and howled in agony. All thoughts were lost.
As soon as this plot came out, "Qian Dog CP" became very popular, and the CP clips on the currency station's scarves were everywhere.
What everyone didn't expect was that this was just the beginning. The plot that followed shortly after would completely lock Yang Jian and Roaring Dog.
As a result, Chang'e, Yang Chan and Ao Cunxin, the three fairies who were as beautiful as flowers and jade, together, in the hearts of many fans of Erye, could not compare to the "old dog" of Erjiu...
