"It's so beautiful, change another one!"

In the studio, Kang Jianfei sat on a rattan chair with his legs crossed and said to Zhang Yi standing under the light.

"Director, do you think this set is OK?" Xi Zhongwen, who is the artistic director and costume designer of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", came over to ask with a white dress.

Kang Jianfei looked carefully for a few seconds and nodded, "Try it."

Xi Zhongwen handed over the clothes, and Zhang Yi immediately ran to the locker room with the clothes.

Before Zhang Yi could come back from changing his clothes, a middle-aged man in a blue suit said, "Director, the clothes just now were too trendy, and it is difficult to see someone wearing that style in the mainland."

The middle-aged man who spoke was Xun Sicheng, who was a costume consultant whom Chen Xunqi asked people to find from mainland China. He used to work at Zhujiang Film Production Company.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "This dress was designed by Mr. Xi and Ms. Tang. Not to mention the mainland, it is very fashionable even in Hong Kong."

Mr. Xi is Xi Zhongwen, while Miss Tang is Tang Shuchen, the cousin of Tang Shuxuan, vice president of DreamWorks Film and Television. Tang Shuchen's husband Lu Guanting also works in DreamWorks. In another time and space, the theme song "A Lifetime Love" of "A Lifetime" by "The Song of the Song" is Lu Guanting and Tang Shuchen and his wife.

Xun Sicheng did not give Xi Zhongwen and Tang Shuchen face. He said: "I have read the script of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". Zhang Qiling is a mainland woman and is engaged in illegal tomb robbing. So not only can't dress in a trendy manner, but also must be more ordinary than ordinary people, so that she will appear low-key. Since DreamWorks hired me as a costume consultant for movies, I must be worthy of the salary I received."

Xi Zhongwen retorted: "Mr. Xun. What we want to make now is a movie, not a documentary that respects reality. If the movie wants to sell a good box office, it must attract audiences. If the heroine wears clothes that can't be found if she falls into the crowd, what else do we have to do? Go directly to the roadside stall and buy a few clothes and start shooting."

After all, Xun Sicheng just came from the mainland, and his film philosophy is completely different from Xi Zhongwen: "I think a good movie depends on its content to attract audiences, not what clothes the actors wear. If you let the heroine wear the clothes just now in "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles", what is the difference between letting a Ming Dynasty person wear modern clothes?"

Kang Jianfei could only shake his head and smile bitterly as he listened to the two of them. Xun Sicheng had worked as a director at Zhujiang Film Company before. Filming movies within the system is a task. The director only needs to complete the film, and he does not need to consider the box office issue at all. But Kang Jianfei had to consider the market.

If the characters in the movie are ordinary, it may be more logical, but it will definitely greatly reduce the film's attractiveness to the audience.

But in the same way, Xun Sicheng's opinions cannot be ignored. If the actor's costumes are too fancy and trendy, it will appear too fake, thus destroying the overall atmosphere of the movie and creating an indescribable sense of incongruity.

"Mr. Kang, do you think this is OK?" Zhang Yi quickly changed his clothes and asked, standing under the light, slowly turning around in circles.

Kang Jianfei's shot of his hands and thumbs being stuck in a square shape. He closed one eye and looked through the lens for a few seconds, and suddenly spoke: "The tone of the light is too soft, it's a little colder."

The lighting engineer immediately adjusted the light until Kang Jianfei shouted ok.

At this moment, Zhang Jie was wearing a white dress under the light, and his long hair hung to his vest. Kang Jianfei asked her to hold a prop sword again, which made Zhang Jie's overall temperament suddenly change, and he looked extremely cold under the cold light.

Kang Jianfei said to Xi Zhongwen: "Zhongwen, remove all the decorations in the details of this set of clothes and leave one or two finishing touches. It must be simple, capable and yet feminine. Also, the trouser legs are slightly tightened. Such a big trouser legs are too outrageous. Not to mention robbing tombs, even going on an outing is a burden."

"Okay, I'll make changes when I go back." Xi Zhongwen said.

Xun Sicheng interrupted, "Director Kang, isn't this inappropriate?"

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "The male and female protagonists, including important supporting roles, must be eye-catching. But Mr. Xun, you are right. I will prepare a few more ordinary clothes for all characters, give different styles according to different situations, and the script will also have slight details."

The director said this, so Xun Sicheng naturally had no choice but to say more. Anyway, he was seconded by a Chinese film company. After filming this drama, he would return to work at Zhujiang Film Company.

Another half month has passed, and the styles and costumes of the main characters of the film have been completed, but the film has not yet been turned on yet. The outdoor location of Danxia Mountain has been raining for days, and the weather cannot be filmed at all, and the indoor studio setting in Hong Kong has not been completed.

Kang Jianfei could only continue to wait and take out the character's makeup photos for the second round of promotion. If a set of makeup photos for each of the main characters is enough for the photographer to be busy for four or five days.

"Change another look, raise your sword sideways, look straight ahead, and your expression is cold and restrained... OK, Miss Zhang, all your photos are taken." In the studio, the photographer put away the camera and said.

The lighting maker turned off the light box, and several assistants were busy packing the reflector. Zhang Yi held the prop sword that was filled with black gold blood sword at the zero hour, rubbed his shoulders and walked towards the locker room. After posing for most of the day, her bones were sore.

When Zhang Yi changed his clothes and took off his makeup, he saw his agent Deng Baola coming over with a smile. She immediately greeted him, "Hello Sister Paula."

Deng Baola went to the Performing Arts Academy to find Miss Deng, Zhang Yi. She is not the gold medal agent of Oriental Entertainment Company, and can only rank in the second-tier among the company's agents. She asked with concern: "Amin, is the makeup photo taken smoothly?"

Zhang Xie replied with a smile: "It's very smooth."

Deng Baola took Zhang Jie back to his car, and actually took out a thermos pot, and asked him about the warmth: "You have been taking pictures for most of the day, and you must have not eaten lunch. I'll cook some hot for you and drink it while it's hot."

"Thank you sister paula." Zhang Xie knew that Deng Baola was deliberately making friends, but she was still very moved. She scooped a spoonful and started drinking it, and praised her repeatedly, "Sister paula's skills are really good."

Deng Baola smiled and said, "Don't drink too quickly. Be careful to get hot."

Agents and celebrities are a symbiotic relationship. A celebrity is famous and makes more money, so the broker can get more commissions. Similarly, the more connections and resources an agent has, the easier it is to make his own celebrities famous.

Oriental Entertainment Brokerage Company has been operating for many years and has formed a similar and different model from American brokerage companies. Two celebrities who have also signed contracts with Oriental Entertainment Company have the same starting point when they first signed the contract. If their respective brokers are different, their future development will be very different.

There are people in the world. Now Oriental Entertainment Brokerage Company is roughly divided into three schools: one is the old man promoted when Pan Yingzi was the general manager; the other is the subordinate of Zhang Guozhong, the current general manager; and the other is the subordinate of Chen Bingkun, the deputy general manager.

Among the three factions, Pan Yingzi no longer cared about the company after giving birth, but she was still a shareholder of Oriental Entertainment Company. The elderly she promoted all held important positions, and they also had the earliest group of actors such as Zhou Runfa, Chung Chung, and Lin Guan. This faction belongs to the veteran faction. She is qualified but does not compete for the limelight. She is not provoked by anyone in a proper manner, but everyone has to give some face.

Zhang Guozhong mainly masters the artist resources of DreamWorks. Big-name agents such as Wang Shuxian, Leslie Cheung, and Leslie Cheung are all subordinates of General Manager Zhang Guozhong.

Although Chen Bingkun is the vice president, he was a veteran who made friends with Kang Jianfei during the Shaw Brothers era, and he was responsible for the previous future star artist training class. He has a large number of young actors, such as Li Ming, Zhou Haimei, Huang Qiusheng and others, and has a close contact with Oriental TV Production Company. He mainly supplies artist resources to Phoenix TV and Macau TV.

The people who compete most now are Zhang Guozhong and Chen Bingkun, who are all delusional about expanding their territory. On weekdays, DreamWorks and Dongshi Company make movies and TV series. The two gangs even compete for candidates for small supporting roles, desperately stuffing the actors in their hands into the crew.

In general, as the general manager and who has several big-name stars, Zhang Guozhong is currently at an absolute advantage.

Only with competition can there be progress. Kang Jianfei naturally cannot be so naive that he thinks his company is in harmony. Not to mention Oriental Entertainment, even DreamWorks had already divided the factions a few years ago.

The problem is that the battle between Zhang Guozhong and Chen Bingkun has begun to cause internal friction and has had a bad negative impact on the company's development.

There are hundreds of film companies in Hong Kong now, and Oriental Entertainment is the largest company in Hong Kong with a lot of artist resources. Basically, every film company may invite actors from Oriental Entertainment to make movies.

In order to grab a film contract for his subordinates, Zhang Guozhong and Chen Bingkun's agents began to maliciously suppress the price, and even all kinds of messy unspoken rules emerged.

Deng Baola is Chen Bingkun's agent. Kang Jianfei appointed her to sign Zhang Xie, but in fact he was hitting Zhang Guozhong in disguise, trying to balance the gap in strength between Zhang Guozhong and Chen Bingkun.

At the same time, Kang Jianfei also asked Pan Yingzi to come forward on behalf of himself and terminated the contract and opened a company for two agents who had maliciously competed half a year ago, along with the stars involved. This move was actually a serious warning to Zhang Guozhong, Chen Bingkun, and all the agents in the company.

Deng Baola used to be considered an excellent agent at most, with two accurate first-tier stars and several third-rate actors in her hand, and also knew some directors and producers in Hong Kong. She received the task in a daze and then became the agent of the heroine of Kang Jianfei's new film, which made Deng Baola think she was dreaming for a long time.

Because of Kang Jianfei, Deng Baola is very optimistic about Zhang Xie's future, so she tried her best to establish a personal relationship with Zhang Xie, and was better than Zhang Xie than her husband. Deng Baola's purpose is only one, which is to be her agent for a long time after Zhang Xie became famous.

Once a top popular star appears under her command, Deng Baola's network resources will quickly become richer. Even if she leaves Oriental Entertainment one day and works alone, she can still be very comfortable.

Seeing Zhang Jie drinking half of the scalding, Deng Baola instructed: "Amin, you will go to Danxia Mountain to film in a while. Remember to bring the mosquito spray I bought, otherwise the mosquitoes in the mountains will be very fierce."

"I understand, thank you sister paula." Zhang Yi smiled and covered the thermos, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth and said, "I can't eat it anymore."

"It's good to be full, who told you to finish eating?" Deng Baola opened the thermos, and didn't think it was Zhang Yi's leftovers. He scooped it up and started drinking it.

Deng Baola's actions brought the two closer together, and Zhang Jie almost regarded her as a close sister.

Deng Baola said: "Amin, do you know how hard-earned the opportunity this time is? How many actresses in the company want to be the heroine of Mr. Kang's new film? Their agents are active everywhere. Even the makeup artists and props who often film with Mr. Kang have been invited to eat countless meals. Just to explore Mr. Kang's tone."

"Sister paula, I know if you don't say this." Zhang Yi felt that the people around her were either jealous or pleased her. The root of the source comes from her upcoming role and the director of the movie.

Deng Baola said: "So you must seize this opportunity. If you miss it, you may never become a big star in your life."

Zhang Jie nodded solemnly and said, "Sister paula. I will try my best to make the show."

Deng Baola shook her head and said, "Playing the show is only one aspect. More importantly, it is to have a good relationship with Mr. Kang."

Zhang Xie said nervously: "I am not familiar with Mr. Kang, so I have only said a few words."

"That's why I remind you, silly girl," said Deng Baola with a deep regret. "If you just make this movie well, you will definitely be famous as the heroine with Mr. Kang's directorial strength. But how big can this name be? Will it be a hit or be used as a vase? No one can tell you clearly. It is possible that in a year or two, the popularity you earned in the play will be dissipated."

Zhang Xie asked, "Sister paula, then what should I do?"

Deng Baola said: "I just said that it is to have a good relationship with Mr. Kang. As long as you get along well with Mr. Kang, you will definitely become famous in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the future. If you don't have a movie, you will definitely make the second movie. You will definitely not have a movie appointment. In the past two or three months, you have been in contact with Mr. Kang several times, but you have only said a few words to him. You are wasting your chance. When I tried out the fitting last time, didn't I let you take the opportunity to chat with Mr. Kang? Why did you forget all my words!"

"Mr. Kang has been discussing clothes with Mr. Xi and the others, but I can't get in. After the discussion, he left directly and I didn't dare to chase after him." Zhang Jieqi said awkwardly. Although she had been studying in the drama department for several years, her personality was still very introverted.

A person's personality is largely caused by the environment of growth. For example, Kang Jianfei's shamelessness, extremeness and greed have a huge relationship with his experiences from childhood to adulthood.

Her mother married far away to Hong Kong to make a living, but she could only follow her aunt and grandmother. Zhang Yi had no parents around since she was a child, which made her introverted and almost autistic. Later, she was taken to Hong Kong by her parents. Everyone around her spoke Cantonese that she couldn't understand, which made it even more difficult for Zhang Yi to make friends.

In another time and space, when Zhang Jie and Zhou Xingchi just collaborated on filming a movie, both of them were introverted and autistic. Fortunately, Wang Jing and Wu Mengda were transferred, otherwise the movie would not be able to be filmed at all.

Deng Baola was speechless about Zhang Jie's performance. She said, "You are an actor, why can't you hide your face?"

Zhang Xie said: "Acting is acting, I can do it even when I lie on the ground and roll around, but the problem is that I am not acting when I talk to Mr. Kang."

Deng Baola said: "What are you afraid of? Just walk to Mr. Kang and find something to say. He will have a better impression of you a few more times. Don't make me finish the movie, but you only communicate with Mr. Kang, and it's only limited to work."

Zhang Xie expressed his concerns: "What if I am afraid he ignores me? Wouldn't that be embarrassing? And I'm not very good at speaking. Only by chatting with acquaintances can I get it if I offend Mr. Kang if I say the wrong thing."

Deng Baola covered her forehead and said, "Okay, I'm convinced you. Think about it from another perspective, Mr. Kang has appointed you as the heroine. What is his impression of you?"

Zhang Jie said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be too bad."

Deng Baola said: "It's not that it won't be too bad, but that you must have a certain view of your potential. What you have to do now is to put aside your concerns and take the initiative to build a relationship with Mr. Kang. If you can't find a topic, start with work and ask him for advice on the script. When you get familiar with it, then slowly turn to a private topic."

Zhang Xie said distressedly: "But Mr. Kang has been very busy recently and is running back and forth between the mainland and Hong Kong. I don't have many opportunities to contact him."

Deng Baola said: "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles is a big investment, and the preliminary preparations are very complicated. Mr. Kang is of course very busy. What I mean is that you should seize the opportunity of contacting Mr. Kang in the future and get in love with him bit by bit. Especially when filming in the mainland, everyone shoots films in Danxia Mountain during the day and most often has to go back to the city to stay at night. On the way back and forth in the morning and night, and when resting in the hotel, you can ask Mr. Kang for more about acting."

Zhang Jie nodded and said, "I'll try my best."

Deng Baola hesitated for a moment and said, "It may not take long to shoot outdoor scenes in Danxia Mountain, and there will be even less chances when filming in Hong Kong. So you must seize the opportunity to film in the mainland. If possible, I can go back to the hotel in the evening and go directly to Mr. Kang's room for advice."

"Tonight...Mr. Kang's room..." No matter how stupid Zhang Yi was, he could hear the meaning of Deng Baola's words. She said in surprise, "Sister paula, you want me... that's not good."
