019 [Looking for an actor]
Facing Wang Tianlin's question, Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to take this opportunity to exercise myself."
Kang Jianfei did not lie. He wanted to be the position of assistant director, and he really wanted to train himself. This position was even more important to him than selling the 50,000 yuan of scripts.
Because Kang Jianfei is preparing to make a movie by himself, it is not easy to make an independent movie, and he needs to do all kinds of work. Kang Jianfei has only traveled to Hong Kong for more than a month and has only a little understanding of the current Hong Kong film and television industry. The specific matters that need to be paid attention to are all dark. If he worked as an assistant director of "On the Beach" for a while, with his broad contact with this position, he would roughly understand the situation.
Moreover, Kang Jianfei needs manpower when making movies by himself. During the filming of "On the Beach", he can also use his position to contact the wireless station's setters, props, makeup artists, artists and other employees. He thinks that his skills are good, and it will be much easier to borrow them when he is filming the movie than to shoot them directly.
Wang Tianlin really couldn't understand Kang Jianfei's idea, so he had to say, "I can agree to you in all three conditions. However, this TV series can't be filmed yet. Zhou Runfa is filming "The Man in the Net", and it will take at least half a month to have time. Zhao Yazhi followed Xu Anhua to film "Crazy Job" and it will not be finished until the end of the month. Since you want to be an assistant director, then ask them to film and coordinate the schedule to you. This is the first step."
"No problem." Kang Jianfei agreed.
…………
…………
He did it right away, Kang Jianfei went straight to the crew of "The Man in the Net" the next day.
It was quite coincidental that when Kang Jianfei flew out, he happened to meet Wang Jing who was going downstairs.
"Hey, A Fei lives here too?" Wang Jing said in surprise.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Yes, I'll live downstairs of your house."
"That's great. From now on, I will ask you for the manuscript of "The Legend of Qin". It's too tiring to read the newspaper serialization." Wang Jing said happily, "By the way, where are you going? I'll drive you for a ride."
Kang Jianfei said: "Go to the crew of "The People in the Net" to find Zhou Runfa to coordinate the schedule."
Wang Jing smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I want to go to the crew of "People in the Net" too."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Are you a member of that crew?"
Wang Jing shook his head and said, "No, the producer temporarily decided to change the script. The other screenwriters were not free, so they asked me to save the situation. I only received the call this morning."
This is also the characteristic of Hong Kong-made movies and TV series today. Many film and television series are not fully scripted when filming. Because they are filmed and broadcasted, some also make corresponding adjustments to the subsequent plots based on the audience's reaction to the previous drama. So much so that there are often seven or eight screenwriters for a TV series, and each person writes a paragraph and finally completes the script.
This is the case with the previous "Chu Liuxiang", the current "Man in the Net", and the same is true for "On the Beach", which should have started filming more than four months later. So Kang Jianfei now took out the script of "On the Beach", and he is not afraid of people saying that he plagiarized, because the director of "On the Beach" is still busy filming "Famous Sword and Wind", and the script of "On the Beach" cannot have been written by the original screenwriter.
Wang Jing drove Kang Jianfei to the crew. As soon as he got off the car, producer Li Tiansheng ran over to drag Wang Jing away and said anxiously: "Axiang, you are here just in time. You have changed the script of this episode. The audience doesn't like it."
Speaking of Li Tiansheng, everyone may not be familiar with Gu Tianle and Li Ruotong's version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" was made by this man, and he has made countless stars famous. Although Li Tiansheng only started as a producer since last year and has a far inferior to Wang Tianlin's qualifications and fame, all three dramas he produced last year were popular and the upward momentum was very fast.
Li Tiansheng and Wang Jing went to discuss the script. Kang Jianfei's eyes were sweeping around, and soon he found several very familiar stars - Zhou Runfa, Zheng Yuling, Ren Dahua, etc. In fact, Ouyang Yushan was more popular than Zheng Yuling at this time, but this girl later quit the entertainment industry to study traditional Chinese medicine and went to Qigong. She was still an acupuncturist who had obtained a license, so Kang Jianfei had no impression of her.
Zhou Runfazheng sat on the ground and chatted with Zheng Yuling invisibly. Kang Jianfei walked over and said, "Hello, Brother Fa, we're meeting again."
Zhou Runfa looked up and suddenly remembered Kang Jianfei and said with a smile: "I remember you, your name is Long Jianfei, and he has the same name as the protagonist of "Tathagata Palm"."
Kang Jianfei sweated in a waterfall on his forehead and corrected: "My name is Kang Jianfei!"
"Kang Jianfei? This name sounds so familiar." Zhou Runfa started filming "The Man in the Net" in the middle of last month. Except for occasionally visiting his girlfriend Chen Yulian's class, he was busy filming at other times and had no time to read novels and newspapers.
Ren Dahua, who was not far away, suddenly rushed over in three or two steps and asked in surprise: "Are you Kang Jianfei who wrote "The Legend of Qin"?"
Before Kang Jianfei could answer, the two of them had already come over. The person in front was a drama staff member I met on the crew of "Chu Liuxiang". While walking, he smiled at Kang Jianfei and said, "Oh, it's A Fei. If you haven't seen each other for a few days, you've earned 500,000 yuan. It's so amazing."
The person behind him was Chen Bingkun, who liked gossip. The boy flattered and said, "I said that Brother Fei would definitely be developed. You see, I'm right?"
The two of them shouted quickly and the rest of the crew knew Kang Jianfei's identity, and many people came to say hello. Especially those actors, they were even more enthusiastic about Kang Jianfei, because they might ask Kang Jianfei for the future.
Nowadays, famous writers are very important in the film and television industry. For example, Cheng Long went to Taiwan to look for Gu Long in the world to ask for scripts, but Gu Long had not given him a good look. Ordinary writers may not take it seriously, but famous writers do not even dare to offend big stars.
"The Man in the Net" and "Chu Liuxiang" are both TVB dramas. Many extras have met Kang Jianfei. Most of them have been jealous and mocked Kang Jianfei before. These people were quite embarrassed at this time. Only those with very thick-skinned faces came over to get close to Kang Jianfei as if nothing had happened.
Who would have thought that the mainland boys they laughed at half a month ago have now reached a height that they will never reach in their lifetime.
When Zhou Runfa saw everyone's attitude towards Kang Jianfei, he realized that Kang Jianfei was a famous Hong Kong writer. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Kang, I'm so sorry, I'm too tired to film and remember your name incorrectly."
"It's okay," Kang Jianfei said straight to the point, "Today I came to see Brother Fa, mainly at work. Wang Tianlin, producer Wang is preparing to shoot a new drama. The male protagonist wants Brother Fa, you to act. When do you see if there is time?"
"Don't call me Fa Ge, just call A Fa." Zhou Run found that although he was a popular young actor, he was far from reaching the height of Zheng Shaoqiu. Zhou Runfa was not as self-inflated as Wu Mengda. Even after becoming popular in Asia, he was as modest and cautious as he was called Fa Ge by a famous writer at this time. He felt awkward.
Kang Jianfei said: "Okay, Afa, when will you be free?"
Wang Tianlin is the largest producer in Hong Kong now. Zhou Runfa naturally doesn't want to miss his drama. He thought about it and said: "Before the 20th of this month, "People in the Net" should be able to be finished. If any accident occurs, it may be delayed until the 22nd."
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. Don't take any other scenes after filming "The Man in the Net", wait for my phone to notify you."
"No problem, you're on call." Zhou Runfa took out a business card and handed it to Kang Jianfei.
After getting Zhou Runfa done, he chatted with him for a while. Kang Jianfei searched and searched on the set, and finally found Lu Liangwei who was waiting for the show.
"Hello." Kang Jianfei walked to Lu Liangwei.
Lu Liangwei was sitting on the steps and had not joined in the fun before to meet Kang Jianfei. He looked up at Kang Jianfei and asked in confusion: "Is Mr. Kang talking to me?"
"What, I can't talk to you?" Kang Jianfei smiled.
Lu Liangwei also showed a honest smile and said, "No, I am just a supporting role. I didn't expect Mr. Kang to take the initiative to say hello to me."
Kang Jianfei said: "What's wrong with playing supporting roles? I was playing supporting roles half a month ago."
Lu Liangwei said: "Mr. Kang is a talented man, different from us."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Producer Wang is going to film a new drama. I think the appearance is good. Are you interested in becoming the second male lead? By the way, the male and female protagonists of this drama are Zhou Runfa and Zhao Yazhi."
"The second male lead? Or the role of Fa Ge and Sister Zhi!" Lu Liangwei stood up suddenly, thinking that he had hallucinations. He fled from Vietnam with his family and suffered a lot since he was a child. Last month, he came to the crew of "The Man in the Net" as an extra. Unexpectedly, someone asked him to play the second male lead.
Kang Jianfei asked: "Are you not interested?"
"Yes, interested!" Lu Liangwei quickly agreed. If such a huge opportunity is let go, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Kang Jianfei said: "Do you have a contact number? I will call you then and the computer will be turned on at the end of this month."
"Wait a minute." After Lu Liangwei said that, he ran to borrow paper and pen in the crew, and then quickly came back and wrote a phone number and handed it to Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei patted his shoulder with anger and said, "Do it well, don't mess it up. You are the actor I chose, and it won't look good if I mess up my face."
"Don't worry, Mr. Kang, I will definitely act well and I will never let you down." Lu Liangwei's eyes were red with excitement, and tears were almost bursting out when he saw that.
Lu Liangwei's excitement is very easy to understand. To put it in an analogy, it is like an extra who can only make ends meet in food and clothing decades later, suddenly received a call from Zhang Dahuzi, saying that he was invited to play the second male lead. It felt like winning the five million lottery.
After Kang Jianfei got the contact information between Zhou Runfa and Lu Liangwei, he did not stay in the crew of "The Man in the Net". He had to immediately go to the crew of "Crazy Job" to find Zhao Yazhi.
