Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

"Hey, just looking at you as a young boy, you know that you will definitely have a bright future in the future. We will definitely not treat you poorly for the film's salary this time!" Seeing Zhang Querong's departure and return, he came to negotiate Li Sheng of the film contract is very satisfied.

Zhang Querong agreed with a somewhat complicated expression: The salary for this movie is a full 6500 yuan, which is already his salary for several months.

Although he was filming with Su Yun before, and got a supporting role plus soundtrack salary of 300 US dollars - but the prices in Hollywood and Xiangjiang must be different, besides, he is now a newcomer who just came out, and he is appreciated this time His boss took the risk of using him as the leading actor in a movie. Even if the salary is not high, it is an excellent opportunity for promotion.

Not to mention that the theme is still born out of the classic classic "Dream of Red Mansions", a proper costume production!

Thinking of this, Zhang Querong became more careful, and asked softly: "Is the script out now? I want to memorize the script as soon as possible, so as not to delay everyone's progress."

"What kind of script do you want? Just buy a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" and read it? The plot of the story is already there, and our movie is just an adaptation of the original plot." The negotiator waved his hand carelessly. .

"That's right, I was thinking too much..." Zhang Querong, who has no experience in acting, was taken aback for a while, and nodded in agreement, "I have the book "Dream of Red Mansions" at home. I love it so I'll flip through it every now and then, don't worry."

"Your attitude is very good!" Li Sheng patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, probably because he thought Zhang Querong was very obedient, so he said, "By the way, if you read books... read more about 'Cloud and Rain' ' and other parts, the movie will not avoid this question, so as a newcomer, you have to prepare yourself mentally."

"I understand. Since I chose to make a movie, I will not avoid these shots. I will shoot as I want." It is impossible for a good actor to refuse the intimate scene that he should have, so Zhang Querong responded very seriously.

Seeing that Zhang Querong finally signed the contract, Li Sheng explained to him with concern on his face and told him to take care of his body recently so as not to look unsightly on camera.

Zhang Querong continued to nod obediently: "Jia Baoyu is the kind of pampered young master. Of course, he must take good care of himself. During this period of time, I will try my best to do sun protection and whitening skin care. I will definitely give the crew the most perfect image and condition." !"

Seeing the back of Zhang Querong leaving with the contract full of ambition, Li Sheng, who was in charge of negotiating actors, curled up his lips with a hint of malice, and then made a call: "Hello? Boss Jin, it's me... ...That's right, we've already discussed the actor of the leading actor Jia Baoyu, that's the Zhang Querong you had a crush on before..."

"The script? Of course he was not allowed to see the script!"

"Nowadays, the youngsters all think that they can be big brothers in the future, and they refuse to do it when they hear some undressing scenes, and even guarded those sisters and sisters, tsk, fortunately, I am smart!"

"Yes, yes, I will go to the video studio of TBB next door for a while, and I will definitely sign your favorite Huang Hanxiu..."

"With the script carefully crafted by you, Boss Jin, this movie will definitely make the audience excited and have endless aftertaste hahahaha..."

After the phone call, Li Sheng, who was in charge of negotiating actors, went to TBB's video studio while the iron was hot.

Huang Hanxiu is currently an artist of TBB, and it is not impossible to make movies abroad, but TBB will take a commission of about 20.00% of the remuneration according to the usual practice-this is the preferential treatment of the popular flower, and it is replaced by other less popular ones. Artists, the percentage of commission will be further increased.

Hearing that someone came to borrow an artist under their banner to make a movie, the department in charge of loaning artists sent someone to convey to Huang Hanxiu who was on vacation.

At this time, Huang Hanxiu was worrying about choosing her as the heroine for several dramas in the theater, and unexpectedly came a movie invitation, which was known as a humorous comedy in ancient costumes and was recently popular as the theme of "Dream of Red Mansions". It was Wu Shiyuan, who was always known for his upright style in the industry... So she resolutely gave up the invitation of the TV series, and took over the heroine of this "New Trendy Dream of Red Mansions".

Xiangjiang’s film production has always been efficient. In addition to the super fast shooting time, the pre-preparation time is also extremely fast. Compared with Hollywood’s usual film pre-preparation of more than 3 months...they may be able to do it in 3 days. Done.

After confirming that the male and female protagonists and supporting actors have been successfully signed, the crew of the "New Trendy Dream of Red Mansions" also stepped up and started the pre-shooting preparations, found the location and started to build the factory scene. If it weren't for the custom-made clothes, it would take some time, and all of them might be notified within a week to start work.

After Chen Boyang heard from his friends that the new film about Dream of Red Mansions was about to be shot, he became more and more happy for Zhang Querong: "Great, a friend like him who has both appearance and acting skills should have gotten this award a long time ago." Here's the chance.

Because he is busy practicing and recording songs recently, Chen Boyang is also under the supervision of his manager and has no time to visit the class.

On the contrary, his friend A Le, because of his love for Huang Hanxiu, who played the heroine Lin Daiyu in the movie, specially gave up the chance to catch up on sleep after finishing work at the night show in the bar, and took flowers to squat near the Jiancheng filming location of the costume drama goddess.

Ale used to be one of the lead singers of the Losers band. Later, the band disbanded and went to the Middle East to do business. Recently, he came back because of Winner's reorganization. He is flexible and loyal.

However, Ah Lek, who is now falling in love, "throws" Wen Na's brothers aside without hesitation.

"How is it? Have you seen her?" Hearing that Ah Le was going to deliver flowers today, Tan Yunlun, Zhong Zhentu and others who are also members of Wenna immediately joined her.

"Yes, I have seen it, but I always feel a little weird..." Ah Lek explained what he saw, and said that on the surface it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, but based on his experience of reading romantic movies, he always felt that this A surface of calm and edgy lines is a bad sign.

"Do you suspect that the plot of this movie is weird?" Others asked one after another, "Are you sure? Do you want to remind Ms. Huang?"

"You are talking about...is that the movie called "A Dream of Red Mansions"? I have a friend who is also the leading actor in it." Chen Boyang murmured.

"Then give him a call and ask. If there is anything wrong, ask him to help remind Ms. Huang!" Even if it's just a suspicion, once a newcomer of this era comes into contact with this type of film, it's hard to come back. to the original number.

Chen Boyang was also quite anxious when he heard the words, and quickly called Zhang Qurong's home.

"Isn't it? When I signed the contract, I made it clear that it was a costume comedy literary film." Zhang Querong who answered the phone was a little puzzled, but thanked Chen Boyang for calling to remind him, "I'm currently filming a scene with a follow-up point." The scene where the maid eats rouge—it’s also in the original book, so it’s not an out-of-the-ordinary adaptation.”

"Thank you for your concern. I still have a scene to film today. I'll see the situation then. I'll treat you to tea when I have time."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Querong drove from home to today's shooting location.

Today we are going to shoot the factory scene. When Zhang Querong came, the actress Chen Weiying, who had a scene with him, had just arrived here.

"Leslie, don't you think that the dialogue in our latest play...is a bit like that..." Although Chen Weiying has not received today's script, when Chen Weiying thinks of the filming scenes she saw a few days ago, she always feels Some uneasy.

"Do you also feel that something is wrong? It seems that it is not my illusion..." The exterior scenes of inviting friends and calling friends earlier were okay, but only some weird jokes and even weirder martial arts battles were added. Therefore, Zhang Querong, who focused on figuring out how to present the leading actor Jia Baoyu more perfectly, didn't pay much attention.

But Chen Boyang's special phone call today to remind him, as well as the recent fact that he hadn't got the complete script and Chen Weiying's question, finally made him realize something was wrong.

I have been filming the scene for several days, why is it still "flying paper boy" without a formal complete script?

The so-called "flying paper boy" refers to writing while filming. Because of time constraints, the script fragments to be filmed every day are thrown by the staff like flying to the actors to be filmed that day. Responding as quickly as possible is a shooting method that extremely tests acting skills and adaptability.

This is not like filming a TV series. Because the plot is too long and needs to be changed according to the reaction of the family audience, it is necessary to use the method of flying paper to shoot from time to time; a movie, even if it cannot produce a complete For the script, at least they have to be given an outline so that they can know the general direction, right?

At the beginning, Zhang Querong thought that he had the original work of "A Dream of Red Mansions" as a base, and no matter how much he adapted it, he couldn't change the main line. As a result, the more he filmed the past few days, the more he felt that there were too many changes. A person who is familiar with the original work like him can't stand these strange things. Oddly changed...

Because Chen Weiying, who plays the role of Xiren, has a pure personality and looks innocent, Zhang Querong couldn't let her take the initiative to show up, so he comforted her a few words, and then went up to Director Jin who was sitting on a chair and waiting for the filming to start. : "Director, is today's script delivered?"

"Not yet—I'm also impatiently waiting for the filming!" Director Jin glanced at him impatiently, "But don't worry, there aren't many lines in today's play, so it doesn't take too long to memorize."

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Querong let go of his mind a little bit: If there are not many lines, it is probably a drama like the one he was beaten before, right?

The focus of that kind of play is on facial expressions and movements, so you really don't need to memorize too many lines.

Just when Zhang Querong breathed a sigh of relief and planned to go back and tell Chen Weiying the good news, Director Jin waved his hand again: "You and Xiren should take advantage of the break time to exchange feelings, and when you are about to strip off your shirts Don't be too embarrassed, everyone, the film is so expensive, don't NG too many times..."

"Peel... undress?!" Zhang Querong was stunned for a while, and then he stumbled and said again, "Are you going to shoot the part of 'Cloud and Rain' so soon?"

Although I already have the psychological preparation for shooting intimate scenes, generally speaking, this type of scenes are only shot in the middle of the shooting and when the actors are familiar with each other. Why is the progress of this trendy Dream of Red Mansions so fast? Chen Weiying has just met the scene once and is about to start filming?

"Why are you filming 'Cloud and Rain' so soon? Didn't I give you a few days to get used to it?" Director Jin, who was taking today's script paper from his assistant, glared, "It's already slow , if we don’t start filming 'Clouds and Rains', how can there be enough time for those passionate scenes?!"

"Hurry up and get ready to strip your shirt. The script is here. Read it carefully. We'll start filming after a while." Director Jin acted as if time is money, and threw a script in front of Zhang Querong, while Call others to start getting ready to shoot.

Zhang Querong picked up the script in shock and doubt, and saw at a glance that the name on it was no longer "New Wave Dream of Red Mansions", but——

"Red Mansion Spring..." Zhang Querong was immediately stunned when he saw the title of the erotic film above.

It is not that this era has not had romantic films featuring love and sex, but the love films produced by Zhao or other film companies are actually different from those Class III films that focus on love and sex: for example, Zhao's Li Xuexiang Most of the Fengyue films he directed are classics that combine depth, appreciation and storytelling. Love and sex are just embellishments of the plot.

But once the priorities of the two are reversed, then the core of any plot is just to show off sexiness and stimulate desire, and the audience will basically go for the revealing scenes and passionate scenes...

After a quick glance at the complete script, Zhang Querong almost despaired: just for the unsightly plot settings and messy adaptations in it, there is no doubt that this is an ancient costume comedy literary film III Grade film!

Artists who signed contracts with them were all cheated!
