Chapter 57 Zhang Dao Xian

The main movie scenes of "Happy Ghost" were shot in the school, and a Approving students, teachers doing group performances, and setting up a campus scene for the crew cost a lot and was extremely wasteful.

In 1984, Cinematheque produced "Happy Ghost" with a production cost of 2 million Hong Kong dollars and a box office win of 14 million.

Zhang Guobin was filming "Happy Ghost" in 1980, and he had to save 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.

It is better to donate money directly to the school when setting up the scene. No matter how much rebates the principals and teachers get, at least they can be used on students.

Zhang Guobin found Li Lizhen's alma mater, New Territories Synergy Middle School, and poured money! Donate to the school building!

In the corner of the playground, the studio of the crew has been set up, Liang Chaowei and Ren Dahua are putting on makeup and trying out costumes, Liu Weiyi and Old Hu are adjusting the front camera, Li Dawei is talking to some student actors, and Wu Yusen is watching. Now, the props team is preparing to start the ceremony, and the staff in each team are busy...

Today is the first stage play of "Happy Ghost", Wu Yusen must come and watch, otherwise, how can he be considered a friend?

Zhang Guobin raised the back of his hand, revealing a watch and pulling his tie, and said slowly, "Thanks to Principal Liao for his support, we should also support the education cause."

Today, he, the Boss, is a part-time director of water, wearing a black suit, and also refined in manner like a cultural person. Whether it is a new actor in the crew, or a school tie, he cannot be seen as a club boss.

Zhang Guobin was chatting with Principal Liao, and in a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhu Baoyi's extending the hand. He clicked on Li Lizhen's one-piece swimsuit, tried the soft feel of the swimsuit, and said enviously: "Azhen, if only I were as old as you."

Li Lizhen was a little shy in her one-piece swimsuit, but Zhu Baoyi sighed after reaching out to feel it, and she turned her head with blushing cheeks.

In the early 1980s, Li Lizhen was discovered by talent scouts to shoot magazine advertisements because of her beautiful appearance and outstanding figure. Now she is only 15 years old, she is the best-looking and best-developed among the young actresses in the "Happy Ghost" series. female artist.

Originally, it would take two years for her to participate in the movie "Happy Ghost" in Xinyicheng at the age of 17. From then on, she set foot in the film industry and won the Golden Horse Award in 1999. Every actor in "Happy Ghost" personally checked, auditioned, and tried to find a suitable candidate. After using some connections to find someone, they found Li Lizhen's name in the model list of an advertising company.

Li Lizhen was born in Hong Kong, from an ordinary family background. Her parents are Indonesian overseas Chinese. She became a model at the age of 15 to make money. DreamWorks provided a guaranteed minimum salary for one year and five years. After a movie was paid 50,000 yuan, Li Lizhen signed the contract very readily.

When Zhang Guobin first found Li Lizhen, he was worried that the two-year age gap in the developmental period would make Li Lizhen not match the desired screen image, didn't expect, Li Lizhen developed more than he imagined. Well, it fits the requirements perfectly.

Unfortunately, Luo Mingzhu, another female lead in "Happy Ghost", is only 13 years old and can't find anyone at all. It is conceivable that Huang Baiming was only 15 and a half years old when he found her, what a beast...

Zhang Guobin decided to let Zhu Baoyi replace Luo Mingzhu's role. Zhu Baoyi not only looks more beautiful than Luo Mingzhu, but also has Start accumulating exercise experience, age and temperament are in line, the effect is better than Luo Mingzhu.

Lin Shanshan is Dillon's niece, now 17 years old. She is also one of the original cast members of "Happy Ghost". The remaining male and female supporting roles are auditioned publicly in the school, and Liu Weiyong is the guard. , selected a few suitable candidates.

"Awei, your appearance is very good. You will work harder when filming starts. Don't waste the film." Zhang Guobin came to Liang Chaowei after chatting with Principal Liao.

The young and handsome Liang Chaowei is wearing a zombie suit, with a thick foundation on his face, blush twice, and nervously nodded: "I know it, Zhang Sheng."

"Just call me Director Zhang." Zhang Guobin took the guide tube handed over by the clerk next to him, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled.

Liang Chaowei pursed his lips, wearing a zombie outfit is not good-looking, but he felt very happy in his heart,

Now he is the exclusive contract artist of Universal DreamWorks, the first at the age of 18 The drama is the protagonist, and the gratitude in my heart is self-evident.

This year eighteen, he was filming, standing next to Director Zhang like a scumbag, with a grateful face.

"Asen, what are you talking about, can you start filming?" Zhang Guobin smiled at Liang Chaowei, indicating that he should not be nervous. After playing naturally, he turned around and walked in front of Li Dawei. Li Dawei put down the script at hand and was a little tired. He turned around and said, "It's almost there, Director Wu just explained something."

"many thanks Director Wu." Zhang Guobin smiled at Wu Yusen again.

"Yes! The boot ceremony is ready. Let's get ready."

The boot ceremony is over.

At night, on the coast at the entrance of the campus, Zhang Guobin sat on the director's chair, directed the tube, looked at the camera, and loudly shouted: ""Happy Ghost" First Stage, First Realm, action!"

p>

"ka!" The scene of "ka!" was filmed at two o'clock in the middle of the night. A bonfire was lit on the coast. Zhang Guobin stared at the camera and picked up the guide tube loudly shouted.

“Huh…”

Zhu Baoyi, Li Lizhen, Tony Leung and the others all breathed a sigh of relief...

Director Zhang has no good temper when making movies.

Speaking lightly,

training more seriously,

a glance over,

no one dared to say a word.

"Alright, alright, First Stage is over, work is over today, the crew has prepared a late-night snack for everyone, go get some food if you're hungry, and then take the bus back to the apartment and into the city. ." Zhang Guobin put down the guide tube, loudly shouted.

His black suit had already been taken off, and a white shirt with folded cuffs was dripping with sweat and stains.

The crew specially arranged to send the staff back to the actor's apartment. The bus in the city was already parked on the side of the road. The staff cheered when they heard that there was a late-night snack, and went to the logistics group to get refreshments and mineral water in costumes. .

At the end of the day, everyone's hard work is not for the sake of eating. Of course everyone is happy when they have meals.

Director Zhang sat next to Wu Yusen and Li Dawei, while Liu Weiyi and Old Hu were in charge of photography.

He only needs to pay close attention to his acting skills, the pictures, and analyze it according to the template in his mind. From time to time, he smokes while filming, but after only one day's filming rules, the actors have concluded one point.

If Director Zhang leaned against the chair and smoked, it must have been a good shot... If Director Zhang leaned down and stared at the camera to shoot the film, every actor's heart would be suspended in the sky.

Being a person must not give people too much pondering, but deliberately releasing some actions to give people a signal is a kind of brilliant imperial means...

Next, Liang Chaowei, Ren Dahua, Zhu Baoyi and the others will find more...

Ren Dahua, as the No. 1 contract artist of Universal DreamWorks, naturally also has a role in "Happy Ghost". Although Ren Dahua is not suitable for the image of a happy ghost, Zhang Guobin still arranged for him a teacher as a supporting role...

Wu Yusen saw the artists go for supper, and sat next to him and said to Abin: "Mr. Zhang, your innate talent for filming is good, in my mind Like a person born with a picture, as expected of a person born to eat this bowl of rice, I guess after the filming of this film, you will be able to direct the film independently."

"That's right, you wrote the script, When you were an investor, I thought you were a genius."

"But being a director is equivalent to being a steward. In addition to the filming, you must pay attention to personnel management. If you eat supper every day , I'm afraid the crew will spend a lot of money."

"Professional! Director Wu Da!" Zhang Guobin gave Wu Yusen a thumbs up, no irony in his mouth, and a very admiring expression. road.

A director like Wu Yusen, who has both talent and management skills, can take the initiative to control costs for the film side, and is undoubtedly the favorite director of investors/film companies.

Wang Jiawei's simple life is too long.

But he said: "Guys are also working hard on filming. It doesn't matter if you add extra meals occasionally. I invite everyone to have a late night snack, which is still affordable."

This may be It's his shooting style.

Of course, if the actors are not good at filming, let alone supper, please eat peanuts, do you eat them?

"I'm sorry, Boss, money is a big deal." Wu Yusen said with a bitter smile, it is estimated that he was abused by the production costs in Jiahe, and the whole person is afraid of insufficient funds.

Zhang Guobin threw the cigarette butt: "many thanks, Director Wu for the compliment, but for things like filming, if you have a chance, you can do it. I hope that you don't have to shoot every day in the future. The banknotes are counted until they are soft, and they are called big sun!"

"Zhang Sheng, Baqi!" Wu Yusen shouted in admiration and envy.

Zhang Guobin left in front of the camera and walked to the back office at will. The actors were all eating refreshments on the bench. Liang Chaowei, Ren Dahua, and Li Lizhen were joking. Liang Chaowei suddenly saw Big Boss appear and quickly put it down. A shrimp dumpling, he stood up and said, "Director Zhang, I'm sorry, you are wasting too much film."

"Don't be afraid, cultivating new people... I'm still willing to have a little film." Zhang Guobin is not short of it now. It’s a little bit of money for film, as long as it’s not four or five NGs per game, it doesn’t matter how much more than 100,000 film fees are spent: “The most important thing is to let me see growth, your efforts, I will see it in my eyes.”

"Thank you Director Zhang." Liang Chaowei was full of gratitude. He felt that it was great to meet a noble person and to be nurtured. Zhang Guobin patted him on the shoulder and asked him to sit down and continue to eat supper, and then looked towards Ren Dahua and said: "Da Hua, the filming is good."

With Ren Dahua's acting skills, he played a supporting role teacher, which was more than enough.

Ren Dahua smiled and drank milk tea without answering. He saw who Zhang Sheng was looking for.

"A Bao, go back to the house." Next moment, Zhang Guobin turned his head to preach to Zhu Baoyi, Zhu Baoyi immediately got up: "I'm going to take off my makeup, Brother Abing."

"You don't need to take it off, the student's outfit is pretty, I like it, let's go first."

Zhu Baoyi blushed and understood Zhang Guobin's suggestion. It doesn't matter if others understand it or not. It's boring to hide and hide when a couple speaks ambiguous words.

Everyone ate supper one by one, as if they couldn't hear anything. Zhu Baoyi put down the milk tea and left in the car with Zhang Guobin.

A Bao would be scolded by Abing on the set during the day, and be beaten by Abing when he returned to the house at night, crying.

On the way, Zhang Guobin was sitting in the back seat of the car, talking about Heavenly Dao: "Did you chat with Lizhen during the day? The two girls laughed so happily."

"I'm jealous of Lizhen's good development. I'm so old that I can't grow it at eighteen." Zhu Baoyi is chatting privately with Brother Abing now.

Actually, Li Lizhen's figure is not as exaggerated as the previous online pictures, but Tong Yan JR is indeed true, 15 girls are not childish, and the other is childish? What's more, she wears a one-piece swimsuit that bulges forward and backward, which is really too attractive, like a flawless green apple, tender and slippery, just look at it, don't think about it if you are under the legal age.

Zhang Guobin put his arms around Zhu Baoyi's waist, and whispered in her ear: "Is it not going to grow? I am here again to help you grow again, and I will let you stuff the ball next year."

"Damn it!" Zhu Baoyi slapped Zhang Guobin's arm with both hands, assuming that the open Dabohao was not there.

Zhang Guobin squeezed her hand, and after a while of playing, Zhu Baoyi stared at him and looked up and down, his eyes suddenly fell back to the blue student skirt on his lap, and said in a suspicious tone: "You're so bad in filming. There are so many school girls, you don't really like school girls, do you?"

"You want me to pretend to show you every day, but you are not allowed to draw Lizhen's attention, they are still young."

p>

Zhang Guobin whispered in his heart: "Li Lizhen is not small."

However, with a smile in front of Zhu Baoyi's wrist, lightly said with a smile: "I have a lot to manage, but I promise you, not a student. Let's start with my sister."

"Okay, then Li Lizhen wants to move into the artist's apartment, and I want to move in too, can you tell me?"

"Yes! I'll move in too. ." Zhang Guobin preached, Zhu Baoyi was powerless to object.
