During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 424: Master and Servant
May 5th, the beginning of summer.

The fifteenth day of the fourth lunar month is a good time to get married, travel, or start work. Everything will be auspicious.

Wei Jin led the crew to hold a simple opening ceremony and presented three kinds of animals and six kinds of livestock to Guan Erye.

Before the filming officially started, the executive director was discussing the scenes and rehearsing with the actors.

The camera crew and lighting crew were all busy setting up the equipment, laying out the slides, adjusting the light, and adjusting the lighting ratio.

This drama is a crime film, or a crime film similar to Cheng Long's with a bit of comedy style, so there is no need to be too depressing, Wei Jin chose warm colors.

In addition, the props team and the set team were also arranging the scene in an orderly manner, and the entire crew was busy.

Generally speaking, whether it is a movie or a TV series, the first scene before filming will be chosen to be of lower difficulty to ensure smoothness and good luck.

Wei Jin also made a shooting schedule in the order of easy first and then difficult.

More than an hour later, everything was ready. Each group made gestures one after another. Executive director Wen Mu turned his head to look at Wei Jin who was sitting behind the monitor. The latter reached out and picked up the loudspeaker on the ground, giving it a sense of ceremony.

"Attention all departments, 30 seconds countdown."

The stagehand came to the camera lens in an instant and picked up the small blackboard.

"'Big Shot', first scene, first shot, action!"

The scenes filmed today were mainly about the honest man Kou Zhanwen being bullied. Although this character does not have many scenes, he is quite crucial.

Although Kou Zhanwen looks big and strong and mostly plays villains on the screen, he actually has a very likable face, such as the Da Niu (Hou Yi) in "The Legend of the White Snake".

With the help of the crew's makeup artist, after Kou Zhanwen put on the wig, his honest and simple feeling became even stronger.

It is precisely because honest and simple people are bullied that the arrogant and domineering character of the villain is more complete and the motives of Sun Wukong's behavior are more reasonable.

The core conflict of the entire film begins when he is bullied. It can be said that Kou Zhanwen shoulders the responsibility of moving the audience's emotions.

The first few scenes were filmed very smoothly, mainly explaining the relationship with Sun Wukong in order to lead to the subsequent conflict.

The whole day passed quickly and we continued shooting as usual in the evening.

This scene is after Chen Yongqiang's house was demolished by Zhao Tai's demolition company. He stood on the street with his children, looking at his home reduced to ruins with haggard and helpless look.

In the monitor, tears were rolling in Kou Zhanwen's eyes, and his daughter beside him was crying loudly. It was so miserable, so miserable, and the emotions were instantly filled to the brim.

"Ka, this one passed."

Wei Jin, who was sitting behind the monitor, nodded with satisfaction, "Brother Kou, you performed well."

After this night scene was finished, today's scenes were over, so Kou Zhanwen took the towel handed to him by the stagehand, wiped his face, and responded with a smile while changing his clothes: "Hehe, Director Wei, thank you for the compliment."

"Brother Kou, I'm not complimenting you. I remember you and Zhao Wenzhuo's movie "Chinese Heroes" and the lightning knife very clearly in my memory."

"Oh? That was filmed in 99. Director Wei has seen it too?"

"Of course not. There were few TV dramas in China at that time, but dramas from Hong Kong were really popular."

While the crew was finishing work, Wei Jin also started chatting with Kou Zhanwen.

"I remember that when I was in high school, I would watch this drama every night to relax."

Wei Jin did not lie. The most impressive thing about this drama was the funny couple played by Zhao Wenzhuo and Fennie Yuen. Fennie Yuen was really pretty at that time, but it's a pity that time passed and beauty faded.

"Director brother, what about me?"

Watching the two people chatting enthusiastically, Zhang Zifeng, who had changed his clothes, walked over with some social anxiety, with some anticipation in his eyes.

In the original movie, Chen Yongqiang brought his son with him, but Wei Jin felt that a little girl could arouse greater emotional resonance among the audience, so he changed it when writing the script.

The actress who plays this role is Zhang Zifeng, who was born in 01. This girl grows slowly and now looks no different from little Fang Deng in "The Great Earthquake", small and lovable.

Wei Jin reached out and touched her head, then said with a smile: "Zi Feng performed very well, keep working hard, you will definitely become very famous in the future."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I promise."

Wei Jin is definitely not an exaggeration. Among the post-00s, Zhang Zifeng's acting skills are unquestionable, and her popularity among the public is explosive. She is known as the "national daughter", and was truly popular all over the country during her peak period.

"Director Wei, I'm sorry to bother you. Zi Feng, come here quickly."

Wei Jin looked up and saw that the person who spoke was Zhang Zifeng's mother.

Since the little girl is underage, Zhang's mother has been following the crew and now seems a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, Zifeng is very cute."

Wei Jin smiled and praised, then rubbed the little girl's head, "Go back with your mother and have a rest."

"Well, Director Brother, goodbye."

"Director Wei, see you tomorrow."

Hong Kong, the set of "A Man's Martial Arts".

"Click."

Lu Yang looked at the screen on the monitor intently, nodded, and took out the intercom: "This one is over, take a ten-minute break and prepare for the next one."

As soon as the voice fell, the crew, under the leadership of the executive director, began to arrange the next scene in an orderly manner. The actors also took a rest, drank water, and smoked.

"Director Lu, has the filming been going smoothly these days?"

As the producer of the film, Huo Wenxi, although not with the crew throughout the entire process, would come to the set every now and then.

"That's great, Director Huo. Thank you very much. The media has finally stopped talking."

Lu Yang's tone was very sincere.

Perhaps because of the previous "Zhen-Zhao dispute", "A Man's Martial Arts" received a lot of targeting in the first few days after filming began. A large number of reporters came to take secret photos, and then the traditional routine was used - making up stories and pulling down others.

Different reports come out almost every day. Sometimes it's that the filming of "One Man's Martial Arts" was haphazard and unprofessional; sometimes it's that the crew pushed, drove away, and insulted reporters.
A blurry photo can actually make up hundreds or thousands of words of negative reports. This is not nonsense, but a blatant smear. In contrast, the reports on "Special Identity" are completely different. The professional tacit understanding, the fighting scenes are clean and neat, the literary scenes are wonderful, and the acting is online.
The compliments are so numerous that they seem to be overflowing from the paper, as if this can prove that the Hong Kong team is more professional.

Although the media arrangement does not affect anything, it does mess with people's mentality, and Lu Yang is quite annoyed.

Fortunately, as the local boss of Hong Kong, Ying Huang handled the situation very promptly and directly sued these media outlets, bringing them all to the dock one by one, and the situation has finally calmed down.

"Director Lu, you're too polite. It's my duty."

Huo Wenxi smiled. His boss attached great importance to this movie, so how could he tolerate those people slandering it?
"Director Lu, how is the current filming progress?"

"Not bad. I expect to finish the main part in two weeks or so. The remaining scenes will be much easier."

Lu Yang has already made arrangements. After the main event is over, he will start promoting "Saving Mr. Wu" until the movie is released.

However, the crew will not stop during these days of delay, and the assistant director can take charge of some simple scenes.

After a few words of small talk, the crew had already arranged everything, and Lu Yang began his new role.
Magic City, the crew of "Big Shot".

Sitting behind the monitor, Wei Jin quietly appreciated the actors' performances.

Today's scene is about Sun Wukong and his wife.

In the camera, Mei Ting was sitting on the sofa, chatting with Sun Dasheng about the school district housing lottery, but the latter had forgotten about it because he had been on a long mission.

Mei Ting looked unhappy and threw a pillow at Sun Wukong, expressing his little emotion without making people feel disgusted.

"Ka, this one passed."

Both Mei Ting and Hu Jun are veteran actors, so this kind of role is quite simple for them. Even for young actors, this scene is just their true self and there is no difficulty at all.

"Take a half-hour break and prepare for the next scene."

Taking advantage of the break, Wei Jin walked towards Mei Ting and made a joke with a smile.

"Sister Mei, I haven't seen you for so long, and your dark circles are still the same, haha."

Because of Zeng Li, Mei Ting and Wei Jin were already very familiar with each other. He had no idea how many times he had been to her house. Upon hearing this, she rolled her eyes at him and did not respond to the conversation. Instead, she asked about Zeng Li's situation.

"Lizi should join the group now, right?"

"Well, they started filming almost at the same time as us. I'm afraid Sister Li is drinking wind in the northwest with a sallow face."

As if thinking of the makeup photo sent by Zhang Yimou, Wei Jin shook his head and laughed, "Sister Mei, I'm afraid you won't be able to recognize her when the movie is released."

"Is it really that exaggerated? But Lizi is pretty serious about movies."

Mei Ting nodded, then thought of something, moved closer, and asked in a low voice, "By the way, you two are not at home, what should I do with Dudu?"

"She is with her aunt and grandmother. I don't know how much fun she has all day long."

Zeng Li has a sister who is three years younger than her. She has been living abroad in recent years and occasionally returns to visit her relatives. This time, she heard that Zeng Li would stay in the crew for two or three months, so she came back specially.

It's no wonder that little girl Dudu, although she doesn't meet her aunt Zeng Yu very often, is particularly close to her aunt. Maybe it's because Zeng Li is too strict and Zeng Yu obeys her in everything.

"That's good, but I'm afraid the child will be clingy, though."

Mei Ting suddenly stopped talking. She thought of the relationship between Wei Jin and Zeng Li. She wanted to persuade them, but she didn't know how to start.

Mei Ting attaches great importance to marriage, but having experienced a failed marriage, what qualifications does she have to interfere in other people's lives?
He simply smiled and wished, "Wei Jin, you and Li Zi must be well."

Wei Jin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Mei, I will definitely do it."

Zhang Li didn't expect that just a few days after the good days, someone else came to snatch food.

Looking at Yang Mi, who used to be humble in front of her and has now become a popular young actress second only to the four Dan and two Bing, Zhang Li feels extremely complicated.

But even though she is already very famous, Yang Mi is still constantly pursuing progress. Even though it is still a long time before she can play a guest role, she joined the crew early, following her boss around, asking about his well-being, and is more considerate than assistant Huang Mengying.

Compared to her lazy personality, Yang Mi's determination to improve herself is really strong, so she deserves to be famous.

"Brother, drink some water."

"Well, thank you."

Wei Jin took the candied pear from Yang Mi and asked, "Have you finished your announcement? What are you doing here so early?"

"There are still some, I pushed them all away."

Yang Mi sat down next to Wei Jin, his voice delicate and gentle, "Brother, this is my first time filming your movie, I want to learn more from you"

Wei Jin took a sip of the drink. Hmm, it was a little too sweet.

Ever since the last capital injection, Yang Mi's attitude towards him seemed to have changed. Although still respectful, he was a bit coquettish.

"Well, whatever you want."

Wei Jin glanced at her with a half-smile. This little devil was wearing a black silk skirt that was almost bursting with a white shirt. Her eyes seemed to be hooked, and it was obvious that she wanted to sleep with him.

Yang Mi reached out and tucked her hair at the temples, revealing her white ears. The faint scent of perfume on her body continued to penetrate into Wei Jin's nostrils.

Wei Jin didn't remember who said that women's ears and certain parts were very similar, but according to his observation, Yang Mi's should be in line with this rule. Well, let's verify it again tonight.

During the entire day of filming, Yang Mi followed Wei Jin, doing the work of an assistant and mingling well with the actors in the crew, which made Huang Mengying feel a little jealous.

As Wei Jin's personal assistant, Huang Mengying felt a lot of pressure.

Yang Mi, who was on top of him, had a huge advantage. He was second only to Liu Yan and could even be compared with Wang Zixuan.

"Mengying, don't just stand there."

Wei Jin stood by the bed, with one hand covering Yang Mi's buttocks wrapped in black stockings, and the other hand wandering around the inside of her two long and beautiful legs.

Wei Jin was not in a hurry at all as he quietly admired the two snow-white bodies.

"Oh ok, boss."
