In a hotel room in Hengdian.
At this time, Zhang Yuan was left with only a pair of large grey shorts.
"Still taking it off?"
Zhang Yuan asked with a conflicted expression.
I know, I know he was auditioning.
I don't know, I think he is here to be a duck.
"I'm here for an audition."
"Although auditions also require people to take off their clothes."
"There are even directors who blatantly ask actresses to take off their clothes just to take advantage of them."
"Why does this make men strip like this?"
"There are no female directors here?" Zhang Yuan thought.
"Could it be..."
He recalled that Wang Jing had made many Category III films.
And Xu Jingjiang is also in this movie.
Does he want to develop new features for me?
"That's enough." Unexpectedly, Wang Jing stopped there.
It made him feel relieved.
"You have a nice figure."
"He's strong and muscular, with clear muscle lines. He's not too white, and his complexion is quite sunny."
Wang Jing commented.
Zhang Yuan just stood there, with his arms folded across his chest, watching him gesticulating.
"Haha, you don't even ask me why I asked you to take off your clothes?" Wang Jing said with a smile after commenting.
"You are the director, you are the boss on the set, I will do whatever you say."
Zhang Yuan also has high emotional intelligence and only says nice things.
The attitude is quite professional... Wang Jing glanced at the people around him.
The others nodded and said it was a good idea.
"Okay, you're accepted."
Zhang Yuan: …
This process.
Just take off your clothes and that's it?
Even if you are shooting a pornographic film, you have to test your endurance, posture and so on.
The next step is to sign the contract, get the script, and get the notice, which is extremely efficient.
Zhang Yuan finally understood how Wang Jing managed to shoot three or four dramas a year and serve as the screenwriter and producer for those three or four dramas.
No matter what happens to him, it's not a big deal.
If the King of Sunglasses is the chef who makes soup and stews Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
That Wang Jing is the owner of the fried noodles at the night market.
What matters is that the price is reasonable and down-to-earth, all kinds of seasonings are put together, and the meal can be served in one minute.
It doesn’t matter if the sanitary conditions are poor, as long as someone is willing to eat it.
"80. This fat guy is really generous."
"It turns out that the key to the entertainment industry is to mix in the circle. If someone introduces you, you will get an advantage."
After reading the script carefully, he realized that his "audition" just now did make sense.
Because the character of Yan Nantian is a vegetable in the first half of the film.
He’s on camera, but he just has to play dead.
This job is no different from being an extra.
As a vegetative person, Yan Nantian will have many scenes of taking baths and medicinal baths.
This is why Wang Jing asked him to take off his clothes to see his figure.
We have to live up to the audience, especially the female audience.
Except for the "vegetative state" in the early stage, Yan Nantian woke up in the later stage and became a crazy and semi-amnesiac state.
According to Wang Jing’s requirements for the play, it probably wouldn’t be too difficult to act.
"Oh, it took more than two weeks to do this job."
"I was lying down half the time, and I still got so much money."
“I feel a little embarrassed.”
"Hey, I've been in the entertainment industry for several years, but I still have a conscience and I still feel embarrassed. It seems I still need to practice."
"After all, the 208th graders didn't feel embarrassed at all, so I'm just a nobody."
Pay the money and start shooting today.
A few days later, he arrived at the set of "Little Fish and Flower".
As soon as he arrived, he saw a big, shiny bald head sitting under a parasol and resting, with two assistants serving him.
One was waving a folding fan, and the other was holding a drink, both of them looked very comfortable.
"It's only been a few years since we recovered from bankruptcy, and now we're floating again..."
Zhang Yuan walked up and greeted him.
"Hello, Brother Zhang Weijian."
"I'm Zhang Yuan."
"Hello."
He did not stand up, but sat down and shook hands with Zhang Yuan.
"Humph, you're really arrogant."
"Damn it, Wang Zhonglei and I shook hands while standing, but you were sitting."
Zhang Yuan used the acting skills he had honed over the years to suppress the contemptuous smile that should have appeared... After all, in his eyes, this bald man was a dead man.
Put on a kind and humble smile and greet him.
"You are the male number one, please take care of me from now on."
"My role is Yan Nantian. We will have many scenes together later. Please give me some advice..."
Zhang Yuanxu thought it was a snake, but he was drinking the whole time and enjoying the assistant's leg-massaging service.
He sat and Zhang Yuan stood, and it always went like this.
While they were chatting, he glanced sideways, then suddenly stood up. The assistant who was massaging his legs didn't react in time and almost fell down.
After the bald man stood up, he changed from the faint smile he had when facing Zhang Yuan to a loud laugh that was so loud that wrinkles appeared on his face. There was even some flattery in this smile. Then he strode straight forward.
"Nick, you're here!"
Zhang Weijian walked up to a young man wearing black sunglasses and with a slicked-back hair, and grabbed the hands of him enthusiastically.
"Hi, brother Dicky."
This person is, of course, the second male lead of the film, Nicholas Tse.
Mr. Xie was naturally honorable enough to make the bald man stand up to greet him.
Zhang Weijian was so happy when he saw him that the corners of his mouth almost stretched to his ears.
Zhang Yuan glanced at Zhang Weijian's rest area, where there were several folding stools.
But it seems that none of them are as expensive as the ones Liu Qianqian uses.
Zhang Yuan had asked Wang Baoqiang to buy a canvas folding chair when he was on the set of "A World Without Thieves", but he did not bring it with him this time.
After all, he didn't have several assistants to help him carry things.
"Hey!"
At this moment, he was hiding under the shade of a tree, watching these two Hong Kong celebrities chatting.
Suddenly someone jumped behind him and covered his eyes with his hands.
He raised his nose and sniffed.
Mm, smells like a fox.
"Congratulations, Film Queen Fan."
Chuckling...a joyful and sweet laughter immediately came from behind.
"As soon as we met, he started saying nice things, saying how many girls he had deceived with his mouth."
The person who was joking with him was naturally Fan Bingbing, who just won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress for last year's "Cell Phone".
The man lowered his arms and walked around in front of him.
White, soft and tender.
This woman has all the qualities that a woman should have.
She has long straight black hair, and looks like a goddess.
In fact, she had always been following the route of an exquisite goddess in the early days, until she poached a master from her agent Wang Jinhua, then she changed her route and embarked on the path of a fashion queen.
This expert is named Yang Tianzhen, and even in the mixed world of real estate agents, he is considered a genius.
Even a crazy critic like Zhang Yuqi who stabbed her husband can turn her reputation around through god-level marketing, which shows how powerful she is.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to this crew? Don't you consider me your friend?" Fan Bingbing raised her index finger and pointed at her.
"The crew just contacted me four days ago and signed the contract three days ago. I just got the script and have no idea who is in the crew." Zhang Yuan found a reasonable excuse and added.
"If I had known you were here, I would have come even if I didn't ask for any pay!"
“Hahahaha…” Fan Bingbing laughed generously.
"Hello, Miss Fan, nice to meet you." At this moment, Zhang Weijian and Nicholas Tse also came up together.
When greeting Fan Bingbing, this person's attitude was obviously very good.
That’s the purpose of the movie queen’s signature brand!
"Hello, Zhang Yuan." Surprisingly, Nicholas Tse, still wearing sunglasses and looking cool, actually took the initiative to reach out and greet Zhang Yuan. Zhang Weijian was stunned.
Does Nick know this mainlander?
Zhang Yuan was also confused. We should have never met each other?
Have I become famous all the way to Hong Kong?
After shaking hands with him gently, Nicholas Tse walked up to him and whispered a few words in his ear, and he understood the reason.
"I see……"
What's going on?
03 4 Month 1 Day.
Leslie Cheung took a leap of faith.
That night, Zhang Yuan was playing cards at Wang Fei's house. After learning about this, he helped him quickly arrange a flight to Hong Kong.
Because of this, Wang Fei arrived very early and met Mr. Xie, with whom he had already broken up.
He was already feeling low and in need of comfort, and Wang Fei was also a sentimental person.
After a while, the two of them communicated for several nights...
Cecilia Cheung also found out about this, and as a result, Chen Xiaodong was hit with a beer bottle, even though he had gone to Zang Tianshuo to rescue the person.
Although the two separated after Leslie Cheung's funeral, it was just a short-lived relationship.
And at this time, Lao Wang had already fallen in love with Li Yapeng. Zhang Yuan knew that the two would be getting married soon.
Li Yapeng has copied it!
When Wang Fei was smoking a cigarette, she mentioned to Master Xie that it was all thanks to Zhang Yuan's help, otherwise she would not have been able to make it in time, let alone have such a great time.
Zhang Yuan has been thinking that Mr. Xie is young, promising and unmarried.
Lao Wang was married and had a child.
Who is playing whom between them?
In short, Mr. Xie remembered him and occasionally paid attention to the news. Now when they met, he recognized him.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. It's all in the past." Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly.
Mr. Xie nodded slightly, not knowing whether he meant that Leslie Cheung had passed away or that his relationship with Wang Fei had passed away.
"Do you still know him?" After Nicholas Tse left, Fan Bingbing pulled him aside and asked.
"It's a bit of fate, but it's just the first time we meet."
Speaking of this, it’s not the first time I’ve seen it.
"Brother Jinjiang!" Zhang Yuan reached out his hand towards the distance. Xu Jingjiang, who was peeking out, was stunned for a moment, then he walked forward with a grin.
"You're here too!"
"Well, it just so happens that I want to ask you for advice on painting and calligraphy. What a coincidence."
Teacher Xu touched his head shyly. He actually likes art more than filming.
I make movies just to make money.
"Uncle Wang!"
After a while, someone else came.
Zhang Yuan looked at him with a gleam in his eyes.
After all, I came here for him!
The little white dragon king Bo Zhao stepped forward, smiled and nodded to him.
Teacher Wang has always had a rather calm personality, probably because he practices calligraphy frequently.
Cultivate your character.
But this person has a calm but proud personality.
"Has the last incident... been dealt with?" Wang Bozhao asked in a low voice.
"Thanks to you, nothing happened."
"That's good."
What he was talking about was that during the filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Zhang Yuan's junior sister Liu Shishi was invited by the director to the room to "discuss the script".
At that time, Zhang Yuan asked someone to make several phone calls to put pressure on the director.
Among them are the two in front of us.
The director came from the calligraphy and painting circles, while Xu Jingjiang and Wang Bozhao happened to be from the calligraphy and painting circles respectively.
The two semi-professional artists came together, and with Zhang Yuan mediating between them, they were able to chat with each other quickly.
Fan Bingbing plays Tie Xinlan in the film, and according to the ranking, she should be the second female lead.
After all, it is difficult to define the ranking of the female characters in this film. According to Zhang Yuan, only Jiang Yuyan can be considered the female lead, after all, her role is the most outstanding.
Teacher Xu Jingjiang plays the evil Tongtian, who is considered Xiaoyuer's apprentice.
In terms of setting, Wang Jing copied the master-disciple relationship between Duan Yu and the Crocodile God of the South China Sea in "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", and in the end, Evil Tongtian also died like the Crocodile God of the South China Sea, trying to save his half-time master.
In this film, Wang Jing plagiarized a large number of plots from Jin Yong's works, and many of them were almost copied from the original works.
Not to mention Teacher Wang Bozhao, who played Jiang Biehe.
Not long after, Zhang Yuan saw the big devil of the film coming to the set. He was about to step forward and say hello, but someone got there first.
"Hello Yang Xue, my name is Xie Tingfeng."
“I hope we can become good friends.”
Mr. Xie spoke slowly in unstandard Mandarin.
"Ahem..." Zhang Yuan almost laughed out loud when he heard his self-introduction that sounded like an elementary school student.
Sure enough, being arrogant is just his protective color. In fact, he is being forced to grow up too fast and is still a bit childish at heart.
And after Zhang Yuan thought about it for a moment, he realized that this person didn't seem that shy when he greeted Fan Bingbing just now.
"Oh……"
"I understand!"
"I found someone who shares the same interests as Peng Yuyan!"
Yang Xue was born in 78 and graduated from the Beijing Film Academy Class of 99, the same class as Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu.
Although she is only two years older than Nicholas Tse, she has a very mature temperament, and her eyes are filled with the warmth of a gentle older sister.
In fact, Zhang Yuan feels that Yang Xue’s appearance in this film even surpasses Fan Xiaopang.
Especially the last scene of him wearing a dragon robe with red eyes and tears, it is simply the most beautiful scene in the world!
Beautiful and crazy, that's Jiang Yuyan.
Mr. Xie went out to work when he was a teenager, so it was normal for him to like looking after an older sister who was good at caring for others. After all, Wang Fei was also an older sister.
According to the routine of most film crews, a small number of scenes will be shot on the first day, and a bunch of rituals will be performed, which is basically a waste of time.
We eat and drink a little in the evening and communicate with each other, and then we start working seriously the next day.
But Wang Jing is efficient after all.
The opening ceremony was completed in half an hour, including offering a pig's head, burning incense and paper, all in one go, and then filming began immediately.
Since Mr. Xie has a lot of announcements and he is the male lead, we have to shoot his scenes first.
Fan Bingbing secretly told him that Nicholas Tse had taken on two dramas at the same time and had to run back and forth.
And the other one is also a Gu Long drama, called "Big Shot", the leading female role is Angelica Lee and the second female role is Liu Tao.
They are doing it legally and have it all written into the contract, which is really awesome.
Therefore, the crew also hired four stand-ins for him.
Back stand-in, long shot stand-in, action stand-in X2.
Tie Xinlan, played by Fan Bingbing, is his lover and has the most scenes together. She probably has to act facing a stand-in most of the time, which makes her feel very miserable.
But Mr. Xie is not the dandy looking celebrity that later generations have become.
When he is on the crew, he still tries to do it himself.
He has not lost the ruthlessness of the old Hong Kong people.
Wang Jing was also quite unkind. On the first day, he pushed the intensity on Xie and even used wires for the first shot.
"rise!"
"fall!"
"Card!"
Nicholas Tse was two meters above the ground, holding a fan and slowly rising up, turning around in the air and then landing steadily. This shot ended.
This should be the simplest type of wire drama.
Compared with the wire-working maniac like the bearded guy, it's child's play.
After Nicholas Tse landed, he didn't even breathe hard, which shows that the difficulty was indeed not high.
clap clap clap...
But at this moment, applause suddenly rang out.
"Great, great!"
Zhang Weijian clapped his hands, walked forward, and praised with a smile.
"The movements just now were perfect. You are very talented."
"As expected of you, Brother Xian's son."
"So handsome."
“So pretty!”
Zhang Yuan: …
That's it?
With what he said just now, if you give me a hundred dollars, I can buy a dog and tie it up, and still have fifty change in my pocket.
Zhang Yuan also figured it out.
Zhang Weijian really supports Mr. Xie.
Obviously there is an intention to please.
It seems that the repeated failures have taught him a lesson.
Knowing that Emperor Entertainment Group was behind the other party, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
"Heh, that's interesting."
Zhang Yuan looked at the two with burning eyes, as if he was looking at two plump and tempting prey... (End of this chapter)
