Chapter 284: Let Go of Personal Qualities (Subscribe for Extra Updates 15/17)
After arriving at the so-called "good time", Wang Jing led a group of people to start the worship ceremony.
He worshipped Guan Gong.
Some directors worship Wong Tai Sin, and some worship the God of Land.
From here, we can also see the style of some directors. The worship of Guan Gong has a dark tone, which shows that he cares a lot about loyalty.
In the early 1990s, Wang Jing tried to switch to three groups in one day, and filmed 7 dramas in a row. Including the production film, there must be more than a dozen.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, he filmed Zhou Xingxing until 12 o'clock in the morning, and then drove to another group to film Fang Long, and filmed until dawn.
Fang Long and Zhou Xingxing are both the kind of actors who don't want to be directors and are not good bosses.
So in the end, they were not very happy with Wang Jing.
In Wang Jing's eyes, these two people are the kind of people who don't talk about loyalty.
Wang Jing wrote an article "Zhou Xingxing makes me feel indifferent". According to his description, Zhou Xingxing started to make friends with the rich in the city and learn to speculate in real estate within two days of his popularity.
He said that this person has changed. He is no longer the little brother who talked to him about cars, women, drinking, eating and flattering.
Fang Long worked with him in "City Hunter" and even dressed up as Chun Li.
After he became disloyal, Wang Jing became the producer and pulled Huang Zhiqiang to help him shoot "The Last Airbender".
Huang Zhiqiang really broke up with Fang Long. When the two were shooting "Crime Squad", they had different ideas, and Fang Long asked the boss of the film company Golden Harvest to fire Huang Zhiqiang in the middle of the film.
The two hit it off immediately. When shooting "The Last Airbender", they almost reported Fang Long's ID number.
Blackened the big brother inside and out.
Hao Yun was quite worried that he would offend him and be considered disloyal by him.
Otherwise, he would probably make a movie to blacken him.
But Hao Yun is definitely not as good-tempered as Fang Long. If you dare to blacken him, he will dare to blacken back.
Anyway, he is only twenty, and Wang Jing is fifty.
Even if the two live to the same age, Hao Yun can still blacken him for another thirty years.
Put aside personal qualities and enjoy a bad life!
Thinking of this, I was not so worried.
As the male lead, Hao Yun stood next to Wang Jing, and on the other side were his two wives in the play, which was pleasing to the eye.
Then he followed the director to worship respectfully.
This is called when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
He also worshipped when he was filming "Heart Labyrinth", but at that time he worshipped the camera covered with red cloth.
After worshiping the gods, they set off firecrackers and took photos.
This TV series was officially launched.
Some media were invited to take photos and interviews on the scene. There are only so many means of publicity these days, and the start and end of filming are also key nodes of publicity.
"Hao Yun, who will play a couple with you, An Xiaoxi or Gao Yuanyuan?" As the male lead of this drama, Hao Yun was interviewed just after worshiping the gods.
Three people were interviewed together, one beauty on each side.
"Both..." Hao Yun looked at the left and then at the right.
"Which one do you like?" The reporter's professionalism is not to be underestimated, and he found the news point in an instant.
If Hao Yun didn't give an answer, they would write "Hao Yun's new film is full of beauties, it's hard to choose."
"Can I like both of them?" Hao Yun had no choice but to cut out a personality to interview Niu Bizheng, first made a joke, and then said seriously: "As an actor, I think they are both very professional, I am very happy to work with them..."
"If you want to find a girlfriend, do you like An Xiaoxi's style or Gao Yuanyuan's style."
Who doesn't know how to do Tai Chi? Of course, the reporters can't fool them so easily.
"They are both too beautiful, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of them." Hao Yun would definitely not choose, even if he had an answer in his heart, he would not tell the reporter.
He didn't forget to wink at Gao Yuanyuan.
Help, sister-in-law.
"We actually knew each other a long time ago, and we are friends at ordinary times. There is no barrier in this cooperation." Gao Yuanyuan is very obedient, and she is also protected by Hao Yun in this crew.
"Hao Yun and I are classmates." An Xiaoxi also added.
The reporters didn't actually plan to ask her, you have no right to speak here, you are a minor.
At least in the mainland, no matter how much the reporters want to dig up news, they will not set traps for a minor.
Their goal is to hype Hao Yun and Gao Yuanyuan.
Only the media in Taiwan have no bottom line. An Xiaoxi went to Taiwan to promote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" last year and was asked about choosing a spouse.
She was only sixteen years old at that time.
Fortunately, Liu Tao accompanied her and helped her out on the spot.
During that time, the relationship between the two was very good, just like sisters, but it was a pity that they were both very busy in the entertainment industry. After a few months of no intersection, this kind of feeling gradually faded.
Of course, the age difference is also an important reason.
An Xiaoxi is a little girl with no worries. She has her mother's protection, debuted at the peak, and has various resources to feed her.
Although Liu Tao became popular with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he failed in a TV series immediately afterwards.
It was "The Last Empress" which was broadcast last month and directed by Teng Wenji, and co-starred with Jiang Qinqin, Li Guanpeng, and Huang Yi.
Perhaps the expectations for her were too high, so "The Last Empress" not only did not have a bonus effect, but was criticized instead.
She is already 26 years old and urgently needs a good drama to stabilize the popularity brought to her by Azhu.
On the contrary, An Xiaoxi does not have such great pressure.
After completing the interview, An Xiaoxi went back to continue filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
The actors who had no filming plans for the time being also left.
Since Hao Yun's leave plan was too scary, Wang Jing decided to shoot a lot of his scenes first.
First the literary scenes, then the martial arts scenes.
The opening ceremony was at Hulong Villa, so all the scenes of Hulong Villa were shot first. The first scene was that the Lord of God summoned the three secret agents, and the three secret agents watched the Lord of God show off.
"Have you memorized the lines in advance? I'm filming here. I like to get it done in one take. Don't drag your feet."
The two serious directors were left aside, and Wang Jing took the stage himself.
In fact, his filming was mediocre. As long as the problem was not serious, he would get it done. No wonder he was able to finalize the script in four days and finish "Tricky Brains" in five weeks.
"Tricky Brains" was not criticized after its release, but received a lot of praise.
In 1991, it achieved a good box office of 31.38 million, ranking fifth in the annual box office of Hong Kong in 1991.
If it were Wang Jiawei, sometimes one and a half months would not be enough for him to shoot a shot.
Wang Jing likes to use long shots and panoramic shots, which reduces the actor's factors to the limit. As long as you don't do it on purpose, there is almost no reason to NG.
"Director, didn't you say that we should just shoot a few shots on the first day of shooting?"
Only Hao Yun dared to ask this question.
"You only take a half-month leave a month, so how can you ask such questions? Hurry up and change your clothes."
While Hao Yun was changing clothes, Wang Jing talked to the two directors about the shooting style and details. He had other dramas to work on and couldn't stay here all day.
Deng Yancheng is a director of Category III films and has many classic works.
Wei Liyuan is weaker. He usually works as an assistant director to make a living.
These two have cooperated with Wang Jing many times before. Usually they are the directors and Wang Jing is the producer. They work very well together.
Watching Wang Jing shoot a few shots, you can probably understand what the director wants.
As for the action scenes, the two directors do not interfere. All the decisions will be made by martial arts director Cheng Xiaodong. At that time, the crew will be divided into two groups for shooting.
Wang Jing planned to finish filming "Number One Under Heaven" in early July.
No later than mid-July, otherwise it would conflict with his other plans.
The filming lasted until the evening.
Hao Yun was hungry, so he ate two boxed lunches and was asked to continue filming.
Hulong Villa was the main scene, and he, the first male lead, appeared in almost every scene, so the filming was still going on until three or four in the morning.
"Okay, take a break, remember to start work on time at ten o'clock!"
Wang Jing was very satisfied with the progress, and the acting skills of these people were pretty good.
I just don't know how An Xiaoxi's play is. I heard some rumors before that her acting skills are not very good. If the progress is delayed, it will be troublesome.
"Ten o'clock..." Hao Yun was shocked.
He has been in the industry for three years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a crazy director. He simply doesn't treat actors as human beings.
Aren't you afraid that everyone will rebel?
What about the eight-hour work system? I want to find a union.
"Look at Brother Song, he's almost retired, but he's still with you young people." Wang Jing pointed at Liu Songren and said.
Liu Songren was the absolute protagonist of the last era in Hong Kong.
Now that he's old, he can only play supporting roles.
His acting skills are very good, and Hao Yun relies on him to learn acting skills today.
"Okay, ten o'clock is ten o'clock, I'm going to bed first." Hao Yun didn't say anything and went to wash up and rest.
It's almost four o'clock now, and there are only six hours.
The literary scenes in "The World's Number One" are not difficult at all, and Hao Yun's shooting is boring and tiring.
His leading role is not only reflected in action scenes, but also in literary scenes. Otherwise, he would fight as soon as he appeared and leave after the fight. What kind of leading role is that?
After competing with this one and that one, he can take pictures of his own attributes.
The physical attributes play a huge role at this time. There are so many people doing physical work on the scene, and they can be easily picked up.
