018 ["Shanghai Tang" script]
The night after moving, after Kang Jianfei had dinner, he took the script of "SH Beach" upstairs, and upstairs was the home of TVB ace producer Wang Tianlin.
After pressing the doorbell, not long after, a beautiful woman with a white handkerchief on her head and a slightly chubby figure opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Hello, I'm looking for Wang Tianlin and Wang Producer." ”
The woman said, "My father-in-law is not at home, so you can come back later." ”
Father-in-law? Isn't this woman the wife of the bad movie director Wang Jing?
Kang Jianfei said: "I am also an employee of TVB, Uncle Tianlin said that I wrote the script and came to him, since he is not here, it is better for me to wait for him here." ”
Kang Jianfei stood motionless at the door of someone else's house, as if he really had the posture that Wang Tianlin would not leave if he did not come back. Wang Jing's wife was also embarrassed to close the door and keep people out, so she could only say helplessly: "Or you just come in and wait for him, father-in-law, he will come back in another hour or two." ”
"Thank you." Kang Jianfei smiled brightly at her, didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and walked straight into the house.
As soon as he bought into the living room, the scene in front of him made Kang Jianfei couldn't help laughing. I saw Wang Jing and Wang Fat Man nesting on the sofa, holding a baby in his arms, Wang Jing was feeding the baby with a bottle, while staring at a newspaper spread out on his lap with relish.
It turns out that Wang Jing also had a time when he was a daddy......
Wang Fatzi heard that the footsteps were wrong, looked up and saw a man coming in, and couldn't help asking, "Hello, may I ask who you are?" ”
Kang Jianfei saw that he was busy and it was inconvenient to shake hands, so he nodded at Wang Jing and said, "Hello, I'm Kang Jianfei, looking for Uncle Tianlin to have some work matters." ”
"Kang Jianfei?" When Wang Jing heard this name, he almost stood up, causing the baby in his arms to cry.
Since yesterday's "Oriental Daily" reported the news that Kang Jianfei had paid 500 yuan for 1,000 words, with the situation on the front page, Kang Jianfei's name has spread throughout Hong Kong.
Most of the newspapers insulted and attacked Kang Jianfei, especially after the news of Kang Jianfei's exclusive contribution to the "Oriental Daily" came out, other newspapers and magazines scolded more fiercely and more unscrupulously. Basically, they are criticizing the color of "Xun Qin Ji". is vulgar, does not deserve to take so much manuscript fees, and also scolds the "Oriental Daily" for breaking the rules of the newspaper industry for the sake of sales, etc.,
But scolding and scolding, except for a few defenders, ordinary Hong Kong citizens only envy Kang Jianfei. There are also many mainlanders who smuggled to Hong Kong, but have not been able to make a career for a long time, and they have already regarded Kang Jianfei as an idol of the first level of Ni Frame.
Wang Jing is a top student of the Chinese Department of Hong Kong Chinese University, and now he is a screenwriter, and he is also a lover of martial arts novels. Since the first day of the serialization of "Xun Qin", he has read all the chapters without dropping, and he is even more curious about the author of the novel.
beckoned his wife to take his daughter away, Wang Jingcai freed up his hand to shake hands with Kang Jianfei, and said with a smile on his face: "Long admiration, my name is Wang Jing, and I am reading the "Quest for Qin" you wrote. ”
Kang Jianfei glanced at the newspaper on the sofa, sure enough, it was "Oriental Daily", and he also complimented: "Each other, I am also a screenwriter of the king for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet." ”
Wang Jing directed a TV series at this time, and his main job is to be a screenwriter, like "Chu Liuxiang" just finished broadcasting on wireless station, Wang Jing is one of the screenwriters. This guy's screenwriting ability is actually far stronger than his directing ability, like "Rogue Tycoon", which he wrote independently two years later, is definitely a generation of classics.
Since the two praised each other and showed sympathy for each other, the next chat was very harmonious.
In the chat, Kang Jianfei roughly knew a little about the current situation of the Wang Jing. His wife's name is Huang Yumei, and she was enlarged by this guy last year and had to marry her daughter. At present, Huang Yumei is doing confinement, and Wang Jing is also writing scripts at home while taking care of his wife and daughter.
After talking nonsense for half an hour, Wang Jingcai finally asked, "Is there anything wrong with Ah Fei looking for my old bean?" There is something in the station today, and he may come back later. ”
Kang Jianfei took out the script of "SH Beach" and said, "This is the script I just wrote, and I am going to let Uncle Tianlin read it." ”
"You don't mind if I take a look, do you?" Wang Jing was really curious about what kind of script Kang Jianfei would write.
Kang Jianfei handed over the script and said, "Feel free." ”
Wang Jing's literary skills are very deep, and when he saw Kang Jianfei's super bad handwriting, he frowned and couldn't bear to witness it. Fortunately, writing a script is not as challenging as writing a novel, and Kang Jianfei is still the author of "Looking for Qin", so Wang Jing endured the discomfort and continued to read.
After only watching half an episode, Wang Jing constantly converted the plot into TV pictures in his mind, and then couldn't wait to flip down. only saw episode 6, Wang Tianlin, who was fatter than Wang Jing, came back from work.
"Hey, Ah Fei, why are you here?" Wang Tianlin was quite surprised when he saw Kang Jianfei.
At the beginning, after Kang Jianfei did not accept Wang Tianlin's invitation and refused to join TVB as a signed actor, Wang Tianlin was actually quite dissatisfied with Kang Jianfei, thinking that this young man did not know the height of the sky and wasted his kindness.
However, within a few days, "Looking for Qin" caused a sensation in Hong Kong, and the author's signature was Kang Jianfei. confirmed that Kang Jianfei was confirmed by Wu Chenggang, and it was after Kang Jianfei that Wang Tianlin's negative perception of Kang Jianfei disappeared at once - it turned out that people refused to join TVB as an actor, not because they didn't know how to lift, but because they were confident that they could mix better.
Wang Tianlin came to Hong Kong with his elders in the 40s, and worked as a printer, recording, scene note, assistant director, etc., and officially became a director in 1950. In terms of director qualifications, he is even deeper than Li Hanxiang, Hu Jinquan and others, and he definitely belongs to the senior big-name level figures in the Hong Kong film and television industry.
After decades of mixing in Hong Kong, Wang Tianlin is the first time to meet such a unique person as Kang Jianfei, after Ni Frame came to Hong Kong, he also worked in the factory for several years, and then slowly became famous with the help and encouragement of Jin Yong. As for Kang Jianfei, he has made a huge name in Hong Kong only one month after coming to Hong Kong, making countless Hong Kong writers blush.
Wang Tianlin had already regarded Kang Jianfei as a strange person at this time, and he was quite curious and surprised to see him suddenly come to his house as a guest.
Kang Jianfei didn't dare to take it in front of Wang Tianlin, stood up and said, "Didn't Uncle Tianlin say that day, I can show it to you after I write the script?" The script has already been written. ”
Wang Tianlin said it so casually at that time, who knew that Kang Jianfei was still serious, and said in surprise: "You have written the script?" ”
Wang Jing, who had been reading the script, raised his head and said to Wang Tianlin: "Dad, Ah Fei's script is fantastic, and it definitely has super high ratings after filming." ”
Wang Tianlin believes in his son's ability to appreciate scripts, because Wang Jing is a screenwriter himself, and he is also a screenwriter who has written many high-rated dramas.
Half a month ago, if Kang Jianfei came up with a script for Wang Tianlin to see, he wouldn't have bothered to take a look. But now, Kang Jianfei still has the halo of the highest-paid writer in Hong Kong, and his son also praises him, Wang Tianlin can't wait to take the script and look at it.
After only watching 3 episodes, Wang Tianlin put down the script and asked Kang Jianfei solemnly: "Ah Fei, what are you going to do with this script?" ”
Kang Jianfei asked rhetorically: "If "SH Beach" is sold to TVB, how much can it be sold? ”
"This ......" Wang Tianlin was a little unsure.
If before Kang Jianfei became famous, for a script written by a newcomer, the price of the wireless station was 10,000 yuan; If the script is really good, the price will be 30,000 yuan.
But now it's different, Kang Jianfei is the highest-paid writer in Hong Kong alongside Ni Frame, with a price of 30,000 yuan, not to mention whether Kang Jianfei will agree, Wang Tianlin himself has no face to open that mouth. And once the price is too high, Wang Tianlin can't get the consent of the station, because the wireless station is very pressurized on the production cost of the TV series.
Kang Jianfei saw that Wang Tianlin wanted to speak and stopped, and preemptively said: "How about 100,000 yuan?" ”
"No, it's too expensive." Wang Tianlin shook his head again and again. In the current Hong Kong film and television industry, 350,000 yuan can make a small-budget movie, and 100,000 yuan to buy a TV series script is too expensive.
Kang Jianfei asked, "How much does Uncle Lin think is appropriate that day?" ”
Wang Tianlin thought for a while and said: "At most, 50,000 yuan, no matter how high the price is, I have to ask the platform to make the decision." ”
Kang Jianfei smiled: "Fifty thousand is fine, but I have three requirements." ”
Wang Tianlin looked at his expression, and knew that this kid was only going to sell for 50,000 yuan, and he was just asking for the price just now. However, Wang Tianlin was very curious about what Kang Jianfei would ask, and said, "What is the request, you can talk about it first." ”
Kang Jianfei said: "First, I will choose the starring role." ”
Wang Tianlin frowned, Kang Jianfei's request made him a little dissatisfied-what do you do as a screenwriter and actor?
"Who do you think will play the hero and heroine?" Wang Tianlin asked tentatively. He had already decided in his heart that if Kang Jianfei wanted his friend to be the starring role, he resolutely disagreed, and it was a big deal not to shoot this TV series.
Kang Jianfei said: "The actor Xu Wenqiang, I recommend Zhou Yanfa to act; heroine Feng Chengcheng, I recommend Zhao Yazhi to play; Male No. 2 Ding Li, I recommend Lu Liangwei to play. In addition, just give Hu Juncai, Tang Zhenye and Huang Minyi a few small supporting roles. ”
Wang Tianlin thought that Kang Jianfei would let his friend play the starring role, but he didn't expect to just play a few small supporting roles. As for Zhou Yanfa and Feng Chengcheng, Wang Tianlin thought about it for a while and felt that it was quite suitable, so he agreed.
It's just, who is that Lu Liangwei?
Wang Tianlin scratched his scalp and said: "Ding Li's role is very heavy, where do you say that Lu Liangwei is an actor?" ”
Kang Jianfei said: "I don't know either, isn't TVB broadcasting "People in the Net" during this time? Lu Liangwei played a supporting role in "The Man in the Net", I think his image is very suitable for playing Ding Li. ”
Wang Tianlin nodded and said, "I agree to this request, what about the second request?" ”
Kang Jianfei said: "The second request is to let my cousin Wu Chenggang be the lighting engineer of "SH Beach". ”
Wang Tianlin was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect this request to be so simple. Wu Chenggang's lighting skills are already good, and letting him be a lighting engineer is just a matter of Wang Tianlin's words.
Seeing that Wang Tianlin agreed, Kang Jianfei said again: "The third requirement is that I want to be the assistant choreographer of "SH Beach". ”
"Poof!" As soon as these words came out, Wang Jing, who was drinking water next to him, spewed out directly.
Although the assistant choreographer is praised as the director's assistant, it is actually the most thankless position for the entire crew!
The assistant choreographer belongs to the most basic position in the production department, with a low status but a large workload, and has to communicate with the props, costumes and drama departments internally, and externally to find on-site control such as exterior scenes, car interceptions, and personnel interception.
All the filming process is the responsibility of the assistant choreographer, from coordinating the time with the actors, to the use of a tissue, the assistant choreographer must also be pre-arranged, and the slightest mistake will be the object of scolding.
To put it simply, an assistant choreographer can be described in twelve words: low status, heavy work, annoying, and low salary.
Generally speaking, people who are not particularly persevering will not be able to stand it after a month in this position.
Wang Tianlin was extremely surprised and asked, "Why do you want to be an assistant choreographer?" It's tiring, and you have to be experienced. ”
