Dreams of the Fragrant River

~: Three hundred and seventy-five [nonsensi

Songcheng in the Liyuan Amusement Park, the crew is still busy rushing to shoot. Although the TV series will premiere tonight, it has no impact on them. They can shoot as they usually do. [;Starting]

At the beginning of its construction, Songcheng was designed to attract tourists, so it was not like the Shaw Brothers studio that prohibited people from entering. At this time, some tourists were standing at a distance, curiously watching the filming crew. The most important thing was that the clothes inside were very distinctive. The clothes on Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao were so handsome.

After the shooting of a set of scenes, the crew was about to move the filming location. Li Lichi ran over to the assistant director and said, "Director Zhu, the setting on Wenchang Street is ready."

"Well," the assistant director nodded and said to Li Lichi, "Ali, there is a scene tomorrow that requires Pan Zhiwen to make a cameo appearance. This is his phone number! Be sure to inform him that he will be at Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. , if you can't get through on the phone, go directly to the Oriental Entertainment Company to find someone."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Li Lichi took the phone number and ran away.

"Wait a minute," the assistant choreographer stopped Li Lizhi and said, "What are you worried about, you poor boy, I have other things I haven't explained yet."

Li Lichi hurriedly turned around again and asked, "What other orders does Director Zhu have?"

The assistant director put a form in Li Lichi's hand and said, "I need about 30 extras in the afternoon. I have a list here. You can arrange the extras. If the number is not enough, come back and report to me. By the way. , Take this list and find the props team to check it out, don't start filming and the props haven't caught up yet."

Li Lichi behaved well this time and did not leave immediately, but asked, "Director Zhu, do you have any other orders?"

The assistant director laughed and said, "If you can do these things properly, it's enough for me to give you a good grade. Do you think this bowl of rice is really delicious?"

"I'm doing something wrong. I have to ask Director Zhu for more advice." Li Lichi said with an apologetic smile.

After about two hours of work, Li Lichi finally arranged the actors he needed in the afternoon, and all the necessary props were in place. It's almost noon. He didn't have time to eat the boxed lunch, and immediately contacted Zhong Zhiwen by phone.

There was a problem this time. Zhong Zhiwen's personal phone and his agent's phone were not answered, so Li Lichi had to make a trip to the Oriental Entertainment Company.

After an explanation with the artist department over there. Li Lichi hurried back to report the situation to the assistant director, and then received a few small tasks.

After working for a long time, Li Lichi finally breathed a sigh of relief and ate the cold lunch. Sit by and gossip with the rest of the crew.

Like Tian Qiwen, Li Lichi decided to engage in filming at a very young age, and rushed in without hesitation. It's just because the two have different internal conditions. Li Lichi joined the director team as soon as he entered the circle. Tian Qiwen, on the other hand, has been in the TV station for several years and can only work as a short-term worker.

The "Future Star Training Class" of Oriental Entertainment Company, in addition to recruiting actors and students every year, also recruits some behind-the-scenes personnel. Li Lichi is one of the behind-the-scenes trainees. After two months of learning the basic theory in the company, Li Lichi was thrown into the crew and practiced with one of the assistant directors.

"Ali, come here." The assistant director suddenly waved to Li Lichi.

Li Lichi hurried over. He asked, "Director Zhu, what are your orders?"

The assistant director took a piece of paper into his hand and said, "This is your internship grade."

Li Lichi opened it and saw a big "excellent" character on it, as well as some comments praising his active and perceptive work.

"Director Zhu, didn't you say you need to practice for three months? I've only been out for two weeks, and the internship is over?" Li Lichi asked in confusion.

The assistant director looked around and found that no one was paying attention, and said to Li Lichi in a low voice, "You are lucky, your theoretical grades are the best in the class, and the crew has never made mistakes in practice. I took a fancy to it."

Li Lichi was overjoyed, he quietly stuffed a cigarette into the assistant director, and asked, "Director Zhu, I just joined the industry and I don't understand anything. Please give me a little more."

The assistant director took the cigarette and said, "The TV production department is about to start a new drama. I guess I will transfer you to the new crew to start work. By the way, I just received a call and said to let you three in the afternoon. Click back to DreamWorks for a meeting."

"DreamWorks? Not Dongfang Entertainment?" Li Lichi asked with wide eyes. He is only a student of Dongfang Entertainment's training class.

The assistant director nodded and said, "That's right, we're going back to DreamWorks' TV production department for a meeting in Room 2. It's just over an hour before 3 o'clock, so you can get there in time by bus."

Li Lichi was ecstatic, and after another good word to the assistant director, he took the double-decker bus towards DreamWorks. It was only 2:30 when I arrived at the company, and there was no one in Conference Room 2, so Li Lichi had to sit there and wait.

After only a few minutes of waiting, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a beautiful woman with **** came in.

"You're Tian Niu!" Li Lichi suddenly recognized the beauty and rushed up and shouted in surprise.

Tian Niu, whose real name is Zhu Kaili, was originally from Suzhou. Later, her parents moved to Hong Kong, but her family moved to Taiwan not long after. Tian Niu was born in Taiwan and grew up in Taiwan. Six years ago, she became the Queen of the Golden Horse Awards for her starring role, and she also hosted the opening ceremonies of two Golden Horse Awards.

Because of the decline of Taiwanese films, Tian Niu had no more dramas after filming last year, so she could only find a way to develop in Hong Kong. Her sister Tian Ni used to be a Shaw Brothers **** star, but later transferred to LiTV to film a few dramas. Now she is in a semi-retired state.

Tian Niu's brother-in-law is the former Shaw Brothers star Yue Hua, but Yue Hua has long since left Shaw Brothers and transferred to LiTV, and occasionally goes out to pick up movies from independent companies.

After Phoenix TV's production and broadcasting were separated, Tian Niu's sister-in-law and her husband all transferred their brokerage appointments to Oriental Entertainment Company, so she came to Hong Kong for development and directly signed into Oriental Entertainment. And this new opening, several main actors were personally selected by Kang Jianfei, who directly brought Tian Niu to the crew.

Tian Niu was stunned by Li Lizhi's exaggerated yelling, and then said in a non-standard Cantonese: "Hello!"

Li Lichi also realized that his words and deeds were inappropriate, and smiled awkwardly: "Hello, Miss Zhu. My name is Li Lichi, and I am your fan."

"I didn't expect that I also have movie fans in Hong Kong." Tian Niu's personality is carefree, and she is particularly fond of laughing, sometimes giving people the feeling of a silly girl.

Both are acquaintances. After a few chats, they became good friends, and only then did Zhou Xingchi and Mao Shunyun enter the conference room at the same time.

When Mao Shunyun saw Tian Niu and Li Lichi, he immediately said to Zhou Xingchi, "I said come early, you see someone is already waiting here."

Zhou Xingchi looked at his watch. Stretching and saying, "It's only 3 o'clock in ten minutes."

Mao Shunyun put the handbag on the seat next to him. After sitting down, he found that Tian Niu was a little familiar. After taking a second look, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you Sister Niuniu?"

Tian Niu didn't know Mao Shunyun, but she still smiled at her: "Hello. I'm Tian Niu."

"It's really Sister Niuniu, I thought I recognized the wrong person." Mao Shunyun said in surprise, and immediately ran to Tian Niu to sit down.

Tian Niu is famous in Hong Kong. Not just because she won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress in Taiwan. It is also because she has filmed several plays in Shaw Brothers, such as Huang Rong in Zhang Che's version, with Fu Sheng, Hui Yinghong and others.

After Zhou Xingchi and Mao Shunyun finished courting Tian Niu there, Li Lichi greeted: "Hello sister Yun, hello Brother Xing, my name is Li Lichi, I am a student of the future star artist training class."

Zhou Xingchi is one year younger than Li Lichi. But no one counts the age, anyway, the one who becomes popular is "Brother".

But Zhou Xingchi could only be "Brother Xing" in front of a newcomer like Li Lichi. As soon as Wan Ziyi came in within two minutes, Zhou Xingchi immediately shouted affectionately, "Brother Liang, it turns out that you are the male lead in this play. ."

Wan Ziying rubbed his forehead and said, "I still don't know what movie to film, do you know Xingzi?"

Zhou Xingchi replied, "It seems like the title of the movie."

Wan Ziying frowned and asked, "Could it be a costume movie?"

"I don't know." Zhou Xingchi shook his head.

The two were talking when Wu Mengda suddenly walked in, so everyone in the conference room turned their attention to him.

After Wu Mengda signed into DreamWorks, he has never played a leading role, but he often plays some important supporting roles, and the remuneration is higher than that of the leading roles in low-budget movies. And there are rumors that Wu Mengda is very close to Kang Jianfei, Zhou Runfa and others, so his status in the circle has always been very high - for young actors.

"Wu Mengda is here too?" Zhou Xingchi looked at Mao Shunyun suspiciously. After Wu Mengda left TVB, he never made another TV series.

Wu Mengda was still a little depressed at this time. He is also a movie star after all, and now he is back to filming a TV series, which is really a bit of a loss.

After the separation of production and broadcasting of Phoenix TV, TV actors are no longer paid dead wages. Instead, first sign the brokerage contract to Oriental Entertainment Company, and then the broker will sign a specific TV contract with the TV production department of DreamWorks. When signing the contract, it is agreed how much each episode will be paid. DreamWorks will pay the film contract to Oriental Entertainment Company, and then The agent sends the money to the artist.

For the kind of TV actors who have been filming for a long time, the income of one year after the separation of production and broadcasting has been offset for several years, but for the kind of actors who have not received many shows and are not well paid, they will often face the dilemma of starvation. .

For example, there are 30 episodes, and Wu Mengda appears in about 20 episodes, and each episode costs about 3,000 yuan, and he can also get 60,000 yuan in remuneration. Wu Mengda is now making a movie. If there are too few scenes, he will not be able to get this number.

And Wan Ziying is paid 5,000 yuan per episode for a TV series. If he finishes one film, he will be directly credited with 130,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is his salary for one and a half years before.

Wu Mengda walked into the conference room with his forefoot, and several people came in one after another. The more people came in, the more Li Lichi felt that this TV series was not simple, and it was estimated that it was such a big drama.

Known as the beginning of Zhou's nonsensicality, it is a TV series with high ratings on TVB a few years later. But at this time, the TV production department of DreamWorks came to film, from the producer to the following starring, but almost the same crew.

Liu Jiahao is the producer and No. 1 director of the show, and he is also in charge of the husband and wife team. His wife Mei Xiaoqing is the assistant director, in charge of coordinating everything in the crew.

Li Lichi, who has not yet graduated from the training class, actually got the title of a group of assistant directors, which made him like a dream.

"Everyone, as for this play, the entire script's framework and character design, as well as the script for the first episode, were all created by Mr. Kang himself," Liu Jiahao said while sitting at the chairman's seat at the conference table, "Several leading role candidates, It was also handpicked by Mr. Kang. He has great confidence in this play, and I hope everyone will not disappoint Mr. Kang's ardent hope... Although Wan Ziying is the hero of this play, Xing Zai and Ada and Shunyun also It's very important, the three of you are in charge of being funny. It's a nonsense comedy..."

"Wait a minute," Zhou Xingchi interrupted, "Producer Liu, what is a nonsensical comedy?"

Liu Jiahao coughed and said, "It's nonsensical comedy, it's Mr. Kang's name for this type of comedy. To put it more plainly, it means that the funny must be made a little bit nonsensical. The word is too ugly, so it's called nonsensical for short. It's that kind of thing. It's a mess with no beginning and no end, you can go and see the three brothers Qin Pei Jiang David two years ago..."

"I've seen it, and it's a real image to describe it with nonsense!" Li Lichi suddenly said.

Among the people present, Li Lichi was the most inconspicuous little character. When he spoke at this time, everyone looked at him.

Liu Jiahao said, "Then tell me your understanding of nonsense."

"It just has no beginning and no end. It's exaggerated, ironic, and humorous. It can be illogical, defy authority, and give the audience a neurotic vent." Li Lichi did not frighten in the eyes of everyone, but talked about it eloquently. .

Liu Jiahao nodded and said to Li Lichi, "Go to get the script later, Ali, talk to Xingzai, Ada, Shunyun and the three of them to see how to play this nonsense comedy well."

Li Lichi naturally agreed happily, but Liu Jiahao, who assigned the task, had a headache.

After the meeting, Liu Jiahao and his wife Mei Xiaoqing drove home together. Liu Jiahao said, "Ah Qing, what do you mean by Mr. Kang? If you insist on making some nonsensical comedy, the audience will buy it and pay back."

Mei Xiaoqing said: "Why do you think so much? Mr. Kang's name is whatever he likes. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com will not be able to blame you for the poor ratings at that time."

"I'm afraid that the ratings will not be good, and I'll have to bear the blame." Liu Jiahao sighed helplessly.

Having said that, Liu Jiahao was just complaining, and in his heart he still supported Kang Jianfei. After the separation of TV production and broadcasting, Liu Jiahao, who once filmed with Kang Jianfei, also successfully entered the TV production department of DreamWorks as a producer, earning at least double the amount of money he made.

Liu Jiahao thinks Kang Jianfei's reform is very wise, because he belongs to the group of people who have benefited. In addition, many more people scolded Kang Jianfei in private, because Kang Jianfei's reforms made those people lose their jobs or their wages plummeted.

Back home, after Mei Xiaoqing cooked the meal, the family watched TV while eating. Today is the premiere. Both Liu Jiahao and Mei Xiaoqing are very curious about this drama, which has been planned for two months, and want to see the quality of it.
