Chapter 545 The Four Leading Stars of "Shanghai Bund"

Gu Zhaofeng's enthusiasm was still very high, and he told several of his friends about Wang Xiaohu's plan to invest in the filming of "Shanghai Bund" that night.

Among them is Chen Qiaoying who has just joined TVB. He is currently working in TVB as a screenwriter for the short series "Happy Tonight" and lives in the same dormitory with Gu Zhaofeng.

Liang Jianzhang, Liang Yonghua, Liang Yongmei, Chen Lihua and Gu Zhaofeng are usually good colleagues, and they are also considered to be good players in TVB's screenwriting circle. They also agreed to help Gu Zhaofeng complete the script creation.

So the six of them were discussing the plot all night. The six of them had also discussed it before, but it was just some minor details, and many things could not be grasped. Influenced by the serious influence of the novel, the story focuses on the vendetta in Jianghu, almost writing Feng Jingyao's daughter Feng Chengcheng as a deaf-mute, and even writing Feng Jingyao, a Shanghai tycoon, as a martial artist.

But after Wang Xiaohu's golden finger, the six people suddenly found that the plot had a brand new interpretation, and things like Jianghu vendetta were downplayed. In terms of the depth of the storyline, from the country to the nation and down to the emotions of ordinary people, the story suddenly became more vivid. Let the characters be more full.

So when the six people came to the Concorde Building with a simple salute, everyone had panda eyes on their heads.

"It's quite early." Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi saw the six of them in the screenwriter meeting room on the second floor of the company, and found that all of them had dark circles under their eyes and joked: "I must have not slept well last night. This is not good. In the future Your desperate days are behind you."

Gu Zhaofeng laughed, and the other five people also smiled, not knowing how to answer. After all, this is the most prestigious Concord editorial meeting room in Hong Kong. At present, the blockbuster films produced by Concord are basically released from this conference room. Under the circumstances, the six of them only worked as TV screenwriters on TVB, and the social value produced was very different.

Wang Xiaohu asked Li Shaonan to call all the members of the company's screenwriting team over. After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Xiaohu knocked on the table and said, "Everyone wait a little longer, there are still three people not present."

Everyone in the room was wondering, and there were three more people, didn't they talk about the script today?
In about 5 minutes, the door of the conference room was pushed open again, and Chow Yun-fat, Liu Dan, and Lu Liangwei walked in.

"Master Dan, I'm sorry to trouble you this time!" Wang Xiaohu stood up and said in response, holding Liu Dan's hand.

Liu Dan is the actor who plays the villain Feng Jingyao in "Shanghai Beach", and the role that really makes Liu Dan a household name is the role of Hong Qigong, the nine-fingered beggar in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He has been filming on TVB for more than ten years In the old and new versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", all of them played the same role-Hong Qigong, which shows that the audience loves the character he created.

It is said that Liu Dan was originally a construction worker, but the construction industry in Hong Kong was sluggish in the late 60s. Many people engaged in construction lost their jobs. Liu Dan later became a crew member. By chance, he joined the Cathay Pacific actor training class in 1968. , as an actor after graduation.

In 1970, he officially played the leading role in "Little Apple".It's a pity that God's wishes failed. When the first film was released, there was a typhoon in Hong Kong, and the box office was shattered. In 1971, he switched to Shaw Brothers and participated in many works, such as "Wind Thunder Mirror" and "Ghosts and Snakes". Wait. In 1972, he left Shaw Brothers and engaged in dubbing and actor work at the same time.Later, he worked hard on Jiayi TV for two years, full of old drama bones.

"Brother Hu, please don't call me that." Liu Dan looked a little excited. He received a call from Qin Pei last night, saying that Wang Xiaohu wanted him to make a TV series. He was as excited as Gu Zhaofeng and the other six. sleep well.

After all, in the industry, the three words Wang Xiaohu represent the box office, which is the hand of God. All the movies or TV series he invests in are produced on the basis of box office and word of mouth. Liu Dan feels very happy to be named by him to participate in the shooting of new dramas. pleasure.

"Master Dan is quite capable." Zhao Yazhi smiled lightly, "Ah Hu told me last night that he would play opposite Master Dan, and I was very happy for a long time."

"Oh, I'm so overwhelmed, Ah Zhi, you're the one who is an actor. I've watched your "Mythology", and your acting skills are amazing!" Liu Dan gave Zhao Yazhi a thumbs up with excitement in his eyes. Then he smiled and said, "I'm only 10 years older than you, okay, just call me Adan."

"Let's call him Brother Dan." Wang Xiaohu asked Liu Dan to sit beside him, and then said to Chow Yun-fat and Lu Liangwei: "You two also sit here, Wei Zi, don't be so nervous."

It's no wonder that Lu Liangwei is not nervous. As a student who graduated from the sixth TVB training class in 77, he is currently only qualified to play some inconspicuous roles in TVB. When Chow Yun-fat approached him, he was stunned. He was very popular in Hong Kong. Back then, "A Lang's Story" made him a first-line artist in Hong Kong's film and television circle worth more than 50 yuan.

But after becoming famous, Chow Yun-fat was not satisfied. Instead, he followed the advice of his boss Wang Xiaohu and continued to hone his acting skills in various TV series on TVB. Series such as "The Great River North and South" and "Frenzy" gradually made his acting skills stand out.During this period, Chow Yun-fat acted in many classic series such as "Family Love", "Man in the Net" and "Fire Phoenix". His gradual popularity has also made him the number one niche in TVB.
In fact, it is not only Chow Yun-fat, Zhou Xingchi, Huang Rihua, Andy Lau and Mo Moyan of the New Seven Little Fortunes were all put into the artist training class by Wang Xiaohu to receive formal training.Of course, this is what happened at the beginning of this year, and the students of the 9th session of the TVB artist training class are destined to be recorded in the annals of Hong Kong film history.

After everyone sat down, Wang Xiaohu coughed twice, and said under everyone's gaze: "The purpose of inviting everyone here today is very simple, to confirm the script of the first TV series since our company was established."

"Shaonan, you should pay attention here. The script of this TV series is mainly based on Gu Zhaofeng and other six people. You should cooperate fully and give full play to your advantages of assembly work. When Gu Zhaofeng here comes out with the outline of the script, quickly Sort out the plot of each episode."

Li Shaonan nodded, and glanced at Gu Zhaofeng. He had no doubts about Master's decision. After all, the cooperation over the years made him know that Master's decision was unquestionable, and his main role in Xiehe was to make reasonable arrangements.

The screenwriting team of Xiehe Company is well-known in Hong Kong for its toughness. There is no one outstanding in this group, but each of them has their own specialties. For example, they are good at fighting plots, some are good at handwriting emotional rivalries, and some like to be imaginative.
Li Shaonan assigns tasks according to each person's strengths, then he summarizes and arranges them, and then submits them to the master for review. If the master nods and approves, the script will be sent directly to the director of the satellite company. If the master disagrees, it will be written later Leave a comment, and the team members will make revisions according to the requirements until Wang Xiaohu passes it.

Wang Xiaohu's team was later learned by TVB. TVB's screenwriting training class was borrowed from it. Obviously, Shao Liushu only applied this method to TV dramas, not movies, otherwise Shaw Brothers Film Company would not have declined. up.

After distinguishing the primary and secondary tasks of the screenwriter, Wang Xiaohu said to the people around him: "Fazai, Weizai, Dange, and Azhi, the main task of the four of you is to participate in the script creation process and understand your own The character of the character, you can also put forward your own opinions to let them improve."

Zhao Yazhi, Chow Yun-fat, and Liu Dan are all old actors, so they naturally understand the importance of participating in the creation of the crew. In fact, Wang Xiaohu's method is very meaningful. Letting actors participate in the script creation allows them to grasp the characters in the scriptwriters' writing in the first place. The prototype is beneficial to their more perfect interpretation in shooting.

Especially Zhao Yazhi and Chow Yun-fat, the former's amazing performance in "Mythology" left a deep impression on people, but except for Wang Xiaohu, few people know the painstaking efforts his wife has put in to play the princess.

Chow Yun-fat was the first test product "poisoned" by Wang Xiaohu. In "Ip Man", in order to play the translator Li Zhao well, he almost lost his temper and had a split personality. Fortunately, Wang Xiaohu guided him correctly.It can be said that both of them are experienced players.

And Liu Dan has his own method, so Wang Xiaohu doesn't need to worry about it.

Among the people present, only Lu Liangwei's acting skills are relatively immature, so Wang Xiaohu also took good care of him: "Wei Zai, you should study more with Fa Zai."

"Oh." With joy in his eyes, Lu Liangwei nodded fiercely and said, "Brother Hu, I will work hard."

Lu Liangwei naturally refused to let go of such a good opportunity. With his current embarrassing status, Wang Xiaohu could choose him as an actor. If he didn't work hard, he might never have such a good opportunity again.

"You can't fail, you have to work hard! You can't let Brother Hu down!" Lu Liangwei cheered himself up in his heart.

"OK! It's nine o'clock in the morning, let's start the discussion, and go to the small restaurant in the cafeteria in two and a half hours."

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he walked out of the conference room, and there was a heated discussion immediately in the conference room. Li Shaonan was the first to speak. He first explained the general process of the Xiehe screenwriting group. Only such a team can write a popular script.

After returning to his office, Wang Xiaohu heaved a long sigh, suppressed the excitement in his heart, picked up the phone and called Run Run Shaw.

"Hey, old bean, all 7 people on your side are in place, let me tell you, I will pay the salary!"

"You kid almost pissed me off. Half of the screenwriters in the TV station have been borrowed by you. Destroy my station sincerely!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Xiaohu hurriedly made a haha ​​and hung up the phone.
-
Ahem, there is a problem with the timing, especially the bugs of "Chu Liuxiang" and "Shanghai Bund". According to the historical development, these two TV dramas have been aired for a long time, but I was busy planning the plot of "Mythology" a while ago, so I forgot Yes, Khan, justify yourself, treat it as a butterfly effect
