Dreams of the Fragrant River

: Five [Start Playing As A Corpse]

“Come on, it’s too late!” Uncle Wu Chenggang hurriedly walked outside with his briefcase.

Kang Jianhua slowly drank half the bowl of gruel before following up. Cousin Wu Ruiqing shouted from behind, “Cousin, what about the “Looking for Qin” you wrote last night?”

“On the cabinet next to the sofa.” Kang Jianfei’s voice came from the corridor.

Shek Kip Mei is not far from the broadcasting channel, and the straight-line distance is only about two kilometers.

What made Kang Jianfei speechless was that after his uncle went downstairs, he actually took out a bicycle, patted the back frame of the bicycle and said arrogantly, “Get in the car!”

Kang Jianfei reluctantly got on his bicycle and arrived at the downstairs of the Broadcast Channel TV Station not long after. Uncle Wu Cheng just pushed his bicycle and stored it before taking Kang Jianfei on the TVB bus to Shaw Brothers’ Clear Water Bay studio.

Kang Jianfei came early and found a good seat by the window to sit down. People got on the bus one after another, and it didn’t take long for the bus to fill up.

“Borrowed, borrowed…” A young man rushed up, pushed aside the crowd and leaned in. Seeing that there was no seat behind him, he stood beside Kang Jianfei’s seat.

Kang Jianfei looked up and said, hey, isn’t this kid Tang Zhenye?

“Hello, my name is Kang Jianfei.” Kang Jianfei extended his hand very friendly. Having climbed up from the bottom, he will not miss any opportunity to accumulate contacts. In his eyes, whether it is a high-ranking official or a beggar, everyone has their own value, and there is only the question of whether they can be used by me.

Just as Tang Zhenye stood still, he saw Kang Jianfei greeting him. He didn’t know what was going on, so he subconsciously shook hands with Kang Jianfei and said, “Hello, my name is Tang Zhenye, and I just graduated from the wireless training class. Are you also an actor on TVB? We seem to have met before.”

I’ve only seen ghosts before!

Kang Jianfei ignored his polite remarks and said with a smile: “Those who can enter the training class are very good. The students from the training class are much better at acting than ordinary people.”

Tang Zhenye was only 20 years old at this time, and he was still very young. He dropped out of school to work because his family was poor. Last year, he was admitted to the wireless training class with great difficulty. Now he has just graduated from the training class, and he has also played several roles. Tang Zhenye was very useful to Kang Jianfei’s compliments, but he kept saying modestly, “I haven’t played any important roles anywhere.”

Kang Jianfei said old-fashionedly, “I think your appearance is very good. As long as you seize the opportunity, you will definitely become popular.”

Tang Zhenye was very happy in his heart. He had a good impression of Kang Jianfei. Coupled with Kang Jianfei’s old-fashioned tone, he felt that Kang Jianfei was very skilled.

The two quickly chatted together, and the direction of the topic was controlled by Kang Jianfei. Before the bus arrived at Clear Water Bay, Tang Zhenye’s ancestors of the eighteenth generation took the initiative to speak out, and also told Kang Jianfei a lot about TVB.

Besides his name, Tang Zhenye knew nothing about Kang Jianfei.

Finally arrived at the Qingshuiwan studio, everyone flocked to get out of the car, Tang Zhenye smiled and waved goodbye to Kang Jianfei: “A Fei, let’s have tea together another day!”

“Aye invites you, I will definitely be there.” Kang Jianfei also waved his hand and said.

At this time, the Qingshuiwan studio was not the later TV City. Its main function was for Shaw Brothers to make films. The entire studio consisted of an administrative building, a cinema, a post-production center, an exhibition hall and five video studios. There was no staff dormitory. .

Wu Chenggang took Kang Jian to the No. 2 Video Video Factory, where the bald master Ding was playing with two horses.

Seeing the two coming over, Li Jiading said to Wu Chenggang, “Acheng, go do your own thing, I will discipline this kid.”

Wu Chenggang patted Kang Jianfei’s back and smiled at Li Jiading: “Then please A Ding.”

After Wu Cheng finished speaking, he went to play with the lighting equipment. Li Jiading waved to Kang Jianfei and said, “Go and bring the action props over there and put them behind the stage over there.”

“Okay, Master Ding.” After Kang Jianfei finished speaking, he honestly went to move the props.

Kang Jianfei knew that it was Li Jiading who was testing himself. If he was cheating and cheating at this time, he would never think of taking Li Jiading as his teacher again. However, Kang Jianfei didn’t really think about apprenticeship. He was neither lazy nor diligent in carrying the props. Anyway, he was just passing by, which made Li Jiading, who was secretly paying attention to him, quite dissatisfied.

Kang Jianfei didn’t care about Li Jiading’s thoughts. He came to the Qingshuiwan studio to see if he could meet some insiders. After all, if he wants to make a movie, he has to set up a crew, and he can’t make a movie by himself.

Before that, I could only write novels honestly, and then talk about other things when I became famous.

Some people may say that Kang Jianfei can directly write a good script for the film company or TV station, and he can sell it for money and become famous.

In fact, it’s not that simple. A music company in the future will receive countless song demos every day, and most of them are directly thrown into the trash, and no one will look at them at all. The same is true of scripts. Film and television companies will deal with a large number of scripts every year, and there are many good works of high quality.

There are many reasons for deciding to start filming a play, and good scripts only account for a small percentage of them.

Even if you send the script of “Titanic” to a Hollywood studio now, there is a 90% chance that the script will end up in the trash.

Especially in today’s Hong Kong, filming and TV dramas are all aimed at box office and audience ratings. Before the work was shot, no one dared to say that they could make money just by looking at the script.

In order to ensure the sales, Hong Kong film and television workers basically have three choices:

First, adapt the works of famous novelists, such as the novels of Jin Yong and Gu Long;

Second, the director and producer provide the concept and framework, and then find the screenwriter to customize the script;

Third, pay a famous screenwriter to write the script.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to make money directly by selling scripts. It has to wait until you become famous first. Or it was appreciated by the producer or director, and then he took out his script for them to read.

Even if Kang Jianfei’s current script will be favored, given his unknown status now, the script will be sold at an absurdly low price. Writing a script is not as profitable as writing a novel.

Another point is that in Hong Kong films at this time, especially kung fu films, many directors did not even have written scripts, not to mention drawing any sub-scene scripts. It is often that there are some ideas in the head, and then the funds are obtained by mouth and face, and the assistant director, martial arts, photographers and artists are invited to discuss for a long time, and immediately decide to slaughter the pig’s head and worship God.

Like the “Once Upon a Time” series more than ten years later, many classic fighting scenes came out like this. There was no sub-shot script for these action scenes in advance, and the action lines were designed according to the scene environment and experience after the martial arts and actors arrived at the shooting scene.

……

……

Kang Jianfei had just finished moving the pile of swords when Tang Zhenye, who was dressed in ancient costume, came over and said in surprise, “Hey, Ah Fei, you are here too!”

“Yeah,” Kang Jianfei clapped the dust on his hands and laughed, “That’s right, there is a show early in the morning.”

Tang Zhenye took a sword from the pile of props, smiled reluctantly and said, “I’m just playing an Emei disciple who has no lines.”

While the two were talking, a few more people came over, but they were Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhao Yazhi and Wang Mingquan in ancient costumes.

It goes without saying that the handsome autumn officials, Zhao Yazhi and Wang Mingquan are both dressed as chivalrous women, and have a different charm from modern beauties. Especially Wang Mingquan, Kang Jianfei didn’t expect her to be so beautiful when she was young, and she was indistinguishable from Zhao Ya in both appearance and temperament.

Tang Zhenye just joined the crew today, when he saw Zhao Yazhi and Wang Mingquan, two beauties, he just stood there dumbfounded.

Kang Jianfei asked with a smile, “What props do you want?”

Zheng Shaoqiu yawned sleepily and said, “Sword.”

Zhao Yazhi compared three fingers and said, “Three swords.”

Kang Jianfei found three good-looking prop swords, and said to Chu Liuxiang, “Master Chu takes the sword!”

Right now, it is Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi’s version of “Chu Liuxiang”. The show was broadcast on TVB two weeks ago, and it attracted thousands of people as soon as it was broadcast. Because the ratings were so good, the TV station is now preparing to change the script and add more episodes.

At this time, most TV dramas on TVB were filmed and broadcast at the same time, because Zheng Shaoqiu, the starring actor, was under a lot of pressure because of the temporary decision to increase the series.

Zheng Shaoqiu was in a daze due to lack of sleep at this time, when he heard Kang Jianfei calling out to Da Xia Chu, he woke up like a conditioned reflex, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the sword.

Kang Jianfei’s funny actions left an impression on Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhao Yazhi and Wang Mingquan, and the two beauties smiled at Kang Jianfei. However, it was only a preliminary impression, and maybe he would forget it when he turned his head. After all, he was a popular movie star, and Kang Jianfei was just a grassroots who had just smuggled over from the mainland.

After the three of them left, Tang Zhenye patted Kang Jianfei’s arm excitedly and said, “A Fei, just now, Sister Zhi and Sister Quan seem to have paid special attention to me, and they laughed at me when they left!”

Kang Jianfei said half-jokingly, “Do you like it? If you like it, go after them. I support you.”

“I’m a big star, so how can you like me?” Tang Zhenye looked at the backs of the two beauties, and said in a low mood, “I don’t know how many men in Hong Kong want to chase them, but it’s not our turn, let alone Sister Zhi. already married.”

The two men with hanging silk were chatting about the goddess, but when they saw Li Jiading throw a set of ancient costumes, they shouted and scolded: “A Fei, are you here to chat? Even Qiuguan and the others came to get the props themselves, you won’t take the initiative to send them over. Go and put on my makeup and change my costumes!” After speaking, Li Jiading said to Tang Zhenye again, “And you, stand over there for a while, wait for Chu Liuxiang to stab me with a sword, you are like this…”

Kang Jianfei hurriedly ran to put on the costume, and then asked the makeup artist to put a hair cap on him. The glue was so sticky that the skin on his temples was almost torn off.

After Kang Jianfei finished dressing up and the set was set up, a big fat man leaning on a rattan chair moved his **** with difficulty, holding a guide tube and shouting, “Buy yourselves, prepare to open the wheat!”

Kang Jianfei will only have a role in the next scene. At this time, he is standing aside watching Wang Tianlin directing the play, and can’t help but make various comments on the crew:

Action scenes are too bad, UU reading www.uukanshu.com belongs to the style of martial arts movies in the 1960s, and will be completely eliminated within ten years.

The lighting effect is also not good. Decades later, when a medium-invested TV series is filmed in mainland China, there are only two trucks of lighting equipment, and the four lights in front of me are quite shabby.

And the photographer, how did the camera stand? This shot is obviously better at a low position, what is the plane standing there stupidly…

Well, the above belonged to Kang Jianfei’s inner thoughts, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to say it.

Even if he said it, Wang Tianlin, the director and executive producer of Big Fatty, would not correct it. Because this is a TV series that is broadcast while filming, I don’t have so much time to carefully consider the composition of the shots and the effects of light and shadow. In terms of money, the budget for such a shoot will be greatly increased.

Shaw Brothers and TVB, whether they are making movies or TV series, have the same principle, that is – more, faster, better and less!

After a scene was filmed, Li Jiading called to Kang Jianfei, “A Fei, come here!”

When Kang Jianfei ran over, Li Jiading instructed: “You rush towards Chu Liuxiang with your knife, make a very vicious look, and then wait for him to stab over, and immediately fall to the ground and die. After you died, I didn’t hear the director shout” Don’t get up, keep on pretending to be a corpse on the ground, remember?”

“I remember.” Kang Jianfei never thought that his entire film and television career would actually start with pretending to be a corpse.
