Chapter 146
Shanghai Film and Television Base was founded in 1992.

It is a comprehensive tourist area that focuses on film and television shooting services, and also has functions such as sightseeing, cultural entertainment, leisure and vacation.

When He Xiao got out of the car, he saw ancient bluestone roads leading to the depths. On both sides of the street were various antique buildings, some from the period of the Republic of China and some from ancient times.

The little assistant Bao Yuanyuan came over and put a coat on He Xiao, and led him to the film and television base.

This season, the holidays are not over, there are not many tourists, and the Shanghai stock market is still in an "empty city".

There are only a few sporadic film crews in the base who are filming, most of which are anti-war dramas and spy films.

He Xiao walked along an old Shanghai-style street. The buildings on both sides were full of the style of the last century, and there was a tram in the middle of the road. It seemed that he had traveled back to the precarious Shanghai Beach during the Republic of China.

"This street looks familiar. Is this... from the world of black phones?"

Standing in front of a police station, He Xiao felt that the scene in front of him was very familiar, and then suddenly remembered that this is the place where the ax helped the enemy in the opening scene of the movie "Kung Fu".

The phrase "Come out and wash the floor" is shouted here.

It looks like this is yet another parallel to the world of black phones.

The movie "Kung Fu" is very good-looking. Whether it is the plot design or the skills of the actors, it is by no means comparable to the current Xiaoxianrou.

If there is a chance in the future, maybe you can remake it in this world.

Walking past the police station, He Xiao strolled all the way to the place agreed with Director Fu Jinglong.

In front of an ordinary dilapidated house.

The staff was already setting up the venue, and there were several vans parked beside them, which contained various equipment.

In front of the house, there was a comfortable rocking chair, and Fu Jinglong was sitting on it to rest his feet.

He looked to be in his early fifties, his temples were a little gray, but he was tall and round, with slanted single eyelids and a pair of eyebrows flying upwards.

From the appearance alone, this person is very fierce and seems difficult to get along with.

"Is it Xiao He? Let me introduce myself. I'm Huang Jun, the assistant director who filmed the MV today."

Just as He Xiao was standing on the edge of the crew watching, a middle-aged man in a leather jacket came up to him and politely extended his hand.

"Hi director, I'm late, sorry."

He Xiao took off his sunglasses and shook his hand politely.

"It's okay, we just arrived."

Huang Jun didn't care too much, with a smile on his face, he looked in Fu Jinglong's direction: "I'll take you to see Director Fu."

"it is good."

He Xiao followed behind the assistant director and beckoned to the little assistant at the same time. The other party walked a few steps quickly and put the tea in He Xiao's hand.

"Director Fu, He Xiao is here!"

Huang Jun bent down and introduced with his ear.

He Xiao took two steps forward with the tea in his hand, "Director Fu, it's the first time we meet, a small gift is not a respect."

Fu Jinglong sat firmly on the chair, with a drooping face, glanced at the tea in He Xiao's hand, and hummed with his nose.

That attitude is the same as that of 80.00% of the directors in Huaguo, full of arrogance.

The scene was a bit embarrassing, so He Xiao had no choice but to put the gift on the small table beside him.

The assistant director hurriedly made a relief with an awkward smile: "Xiao He, I'll take you to change clothes."

"I'm sorry, Brother Huang." He Xiao nodded. In contrast, the assistant director's attitude was much more kind.

The two left Fu Jinglong's territory one after the other, Huang Jun then explained to He Xiao in a low voice:

"Brother Jing is a great director, it's normal to be a little arrogant in your heart, don't take it to heart, just be accommodating."

When he was talking, he handed He Xiao a soft Zhonghua in his hand.

"I know, the director must be a little dignified."

He Xiao expressed his understanding and at the same time refused the assistant director's cigarette.

Since he signed with Le Jia, he has been strictly controlled by Yu Xiao, and he has basically quit smoking.

Even if the addiction to smoking becomes unbearable at any time, at most two puffs of e-cigarettes will satisfy your hunger, and you will try not to touch it if you can.

A person with self-discipline is truly free. Only by being able to separate his body and soul can he succeed.

Seeing that He Xiao didn't smoke, Huang Jun didn't force him. After thinking about it, he choked out his own cigarette, and then led He Xiao into a house in a film and television base, with a row of clothes hanging inside.

"You change your clothes first, I'll go out and set up the scene, and we'll start shooting later."

Huang Jun put a manuscript on the table, asked He Xiao again, and said, "This is a small script, you can read it later."

"it is good."

He Xiao nodded, and closed the door after Huang Jun left, ready to start changing clothes.

In fact, the embarrassment of having a hot face on a cold butt just now made He Xiao feel somewhat uncomfortable, but he couldn't do anything about it.

After all, he is a director, and most people with this status are arrogant or have a weird temper. It is rare to see such a kind director like Yanjing Spring Festival Gala.

And it took Yu Xiao a lot of effort to invite it from the film and television department. For Yu Xiao's sake, he should bear it for now.

Life is not easy, and it is not the first time for He Xiao to encounter such a thing. It is good to get used to this kind of thing slowly.

I took the prepared dress from the hanger, it was quite long, it was gray in color, and there were a few buttons on the side.

He Xiao frowned.

Isn't this the clothes of the Republic of China?
If he remembered correctly, today's filming was the "Old Boy" MV, how did it come to the Republic of China?What script is this written in?

He Xiao didn't wear that dress, grabbed the little script left by Deputy Director Huang Jun just now, and read it with squinted eyes.

Shooting MVs is different from movies, and most of the main story lines are also carried out in line with the lyrics of the songs.

So a small script is not an adjective, but really small, with a total of half a page and a few hundred words, and it can be read with two eyes.

Then, He Xiao was dumbfounded.

The scene he was going to film today turned out to be a story about going back to the Republic of China, playing a lowly person, and climbing up step by step.

Even in order to show shocking power, there is a spy scene in the middle.

Isn't this just nonsense?
It's completely different from what "Old Boy" wants to express!

He Xiao frowned, he couldn't make such a script.

I don't want to be able to shoot new ideas, but I can't be so sloppy?It is far from the original song MV of the black phone.

Holding this small script full of perfunctory flavors, He Xiao came out of the dressing room with a sullen face, and strode towards the center of the venue in stride.

Fu Jinglong was still lying on the rocking chair, eating cherries absent-mindedly, while a stage manager next to him helped him squeeze his shoulders and beat his back.

"Eh? Xiao He, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"

The assistant director hurried past He Xiao with an unknown machine in his hand, then he was stunned for a moment, and took two steps back to ask.

"Brother Huang, I can't film this plot! It's totally different from what I want to express!"

He Xiao tapped on the script with his fingers and put forward his own ideas.

"Stop making trouble, what else do you want when Director Fu shoots the MV for you personally? You can shoot whatever he says you want."

Huang Jun stopped He Xiao, for fear that he would run into the bad luck of the leader.

But He Xiao didn't give Huang Jun face this time, and never gave in:

"Old Mr. Fu Jinglong is indeed a senior director in the industry, but I always have the right to participate in the creation of my songs, right? Can't I raise some opinions?"

"Old Boy" is He Xiao's original work, he can't watch this song that carries his dream being treated perfunctorily.

It was originally a dream song set in a modern city, but it was turned into the rise of a small person in the Republic of China, which is completely different.

The adaptation is not a random compilation, and the joke is not nonsense. Fu Jinglong did this to apologize to fans all over the country.

He Xiao doesn't want to be able to capture the depth of the original MV, but he can't tolerate being ruined like this.

So this time I didn't give the assistant director any face, and went directly to Fu Jinglong who was still resting.

"Director Fu, I think there is something wrong with this script!"

Hearing He Xiao's questioning voice, Fu Jinglong, who was drinking tea slowly, rolled his eyelids and glanced at him, "What's the problem?"

"My song is set in a modern city, not the Republic of China. In addition, it is a dream-themed song. What I want to express is the life of every ordinary person, and their vision and expectation for the future. .”

"I think your script is very problematic!"

He Xiao seriously discussed the theme of "Old Boy" with this veteran director in the industry, but the other party just looked at him without any response: "You mean, the crew has been preparing for so long, what do you say?" Do you want us to change locations and start filming again?”

"Director Fu, I respect you, but I hope you can also respect my work and your career. Do you want to continue filming wrong scenes? I have never heard of any great director who will make mistakes and make mistakes. Instead, for the sake of A shot can be shot repeatedly for more than ten days, just to keep improving."

He Xiao responded not to be outdone, he could not compromise on his own works.

But Fu Jinglong was stimulated by these words, his old wrinkled face trembled, and he slapped the table heavily.

"You are a newcomer to the company, how dare you teach me a lesson? When I worked with Wang Yusheng, you hadn't made your debut yet!"

In fact, apart from Fu Jinglong's cold and irritable personality, there is another point that he has some anger today.

Because since three years ago, after he filmed the first MV for Wang Yusheng, he became famous and became a model in the industry. His reputation started at that time.

After that, he became Wang Yusheng's queen MV director and reached a long-term cooperation.

During this period, he has also filmed works for many heavenly kings of the same level, so his status has been established invisibly, and the people who deal with him are all top celebrities in the circle.

But this time, the task assigned to him by the company turned out to be to be a director for a young boy who had just debuted, and it was still in time for the Spring Festival, and the year was endless, so he was naturally dissatisfied.

As a top director in the industry, how could he fail to understand the meaning of the song "Old Boy"?The reason why I shoot like this is pure laziness, or I don't pay attention to He Xiao.

It’s okay to want to capture the breath of life, but it’s too tiring, and it’s impossible to complete without three or five days of shooting.

And thirteen songs, if the first one is filmed like this, it will be a few months after this job is over.

So he found a local film and television base in Shanghai to shoot the scene, intending to fool around casually.

The theme of the film and television base in Shanghai must be related to Shanghai Bund, so they are all in the architectural style of the last century, so he wrote a script about the Republic of China.

In his opinion, he, a director who is cooperating with Tian Wang, is willing to stoop to create a MV for a newcomer, how could the other party have any objections?How dare you have an opinion?

It is an honor to be able to photograph you!
So seeing He Xiao refute him now, he immediately felt frustrated and became angry from embarrassment.

He Xiao can understand his feelings. Some people are indeed like this. After making achievements in an industry, they are not interested in newcomers who have just entered the industry. .

But if Wang Yusheng and Zhang Ya were here, let alone the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, even if Fu Jinglong was asked to shoot the MV on the [-]th of the Lunar New Year, he would have to come!
In the final analysis, his coffee position is not big enough.

He Xiao looked at the irritable Fu Jinglong in front of him, and said calmly: "Director Fu, I respect you as a senior, so I only give you good opinions, not to mention that this is my song. As an original, I participated in the MV. Adapting is a very reasonable and reasonable thing, right?"

Fu Jinglong sneered, "That's because you are with other directors, but with me, you are not qualified! You can act as I do, if you are not convinced, don't ask me to do it!"

In fact, he also knew that he was too perfunctory today. What He Xiao said was the truth, but how could he admit such things?
So at the moment, he put down such a sentence like a rogue, trying to make He Xiao dumb.

He is the director, the soul of the crew, and we can't shoot after he leaves.

Fu Jinglong flicked his sleeves and turned around. Bao Yuanyuan happened to pass by with a half cup of hot water in his hand, and the two of them collided unexpectedly. This made him, who was already in a bad mood, point his nose and curse: "Little girl! Films don’t have eyes when they walk? Which department are you in? I’ll fuck you up!”

Even though Fu Jinglong bumped into Bao Yuanyuan, Fu Jinglong had nothing to do with him. On the contrary, the petite Bao Yuanyuan bumped into him and spilled water on himself.

Hearing Fu Jinglong's fierce words at this moment, his eyes turned red with fright, and he stood up and bowed and apologized continuously.

She is just a little assistant, she is a famous director, she can't afford to offend her.

Although the fault itself was not her fault, it was Fu Jinglong who walked carelessly, but he was stronger than others, she couldn't help it, tears fell down uncontrollably.

When He Xiao saw this scene, he suddenly became angry for no reason.

He doesn't believe that the director of a MV can go to heaven?How dare you go crazy like this?

Immediately walked over and pulled Bao Yuanyuan behind her, a pair of sharp eyes swept towards Fu Jinglong.

"Director Fu, she is my assistant, you are going to fire her if you open your mouth, isn't it unreasonable?!"

Seeing that He Xiao was going against him everywhere, Fu Jinglong was also angry from the heart, pointing at He Xiao's nose and shouting: "Xiaosheng, are you determined to fight against me? You have no good fruit in Lejia!"

"Then don't bother you."

He Xiao's body stood in front of Bao Yuanyuan, and he didn't back down an inch.

Those who do not respect others will not get the respect they deserve.

The MV of "Old Boy" must not be treated perfunctorily. This is the principle and the bottom line.

"Okay! Let me see how you shoot after I leave!"

This MV must not be filmed anymore, Fu Jinglong turned around angrily and left, the remaining crew members looked at each other in blank dismay, silent as if chilling.

"Hey, Xiao He, why do you say you provoked him? You just have to film your scenes well."

Huang Jun also sighed when he saw that the matter had come to this point, walked over and said with a sad face.

He Xiao usually doesn't offend others and has a good temper, but today he really can't see it. People like Fu Jinglong deserve to be bullied.

Besides, isn't it the MV?What if we can't make a film without him?

Countless images of the original MV of "Old Boy" flashed in his mind, He Xiao was determined, and turned to look at Huang Jun.

"Brother Huang, are you interested in being the chief director?"
