Chapter 356 TV War (Part [-])
At noon, under a section of the ancient Great Wall.

"Okay! All departments...prepare! Actors are ready! Pay attention, pay attention! We will take it down this time after fighting for it. Think about it, everyone. This is the last shot, and it can be finished after shooting. Are you happy? "As the director, Xiao Sheng held a trumpet and mobilized dozens of actors in costumes to divide into several pairs at the top of their voices, hacking and killing each other with big knives and spears.This one has been filmed four or five times, and there are always problems such as one or two extra actors appearing to laugh or out of the picture.

As the director, Xiao Sheng had no choice but to patiently walk over and explain to them over and over again, gesticulating and explaining to them. After finally finishing talking, he was about to start...it was over again.In the end, Xiao Sheng was forced to use both soft and hard methods.It's intimidation and temptation.

Chen Xiaotang, who finished filming his part, sat carelessly behind the monitor.Hearing Xiao Sheng's mobilization speech, he couldn't help laughing.Ever since returning the power of director to Xiao Sheng, Chen Xiaotang has finally understood what it means to "have nothing to worry about!"

"Okay, it's done, get ready..." Director Xiao Sheng turned his head and gestured to Chen Xiaotang.

It means to ask him to help watch some cameras. After all, this kid has been a director instead of him for so long, so much skill has improved, and many aspects are even better than that of an old man like himself.

"Scene [-], Scene [-] of "Looking for the Qin Dynasty"... card!" Chang Ji made a nod.Chen Xiaotang frowned, stared at the monitor, raised his hand and said loudly: "God Ike—!"

Dozens of actors fight each other, ignoring the jagged rocks and muddy long grass all over the ground, rolling and crawling, sometimes two people hug each other tightly and wrestle, sometimes slash each other with a knife - all true, even Killing people is also real.

This is the actor following the request of Chen Xiaotang, who pointed out that he was a martial artist, and asked the prop master to add flexible aluminum sheets to the upper body clothes of the actors, or to the clothes that are going to be cut.Or professional protective cotton.This greatly increased the cost. A set of professional protective cotton would cost hundreds of dollars, and it was impossible for actors to use it at ordinary times.But it also greatly improved the visual effect-it really cut and killed during the acting, the blade cut through the clothes on the aluminum sheet, making a bang bang sound, and the props burst out like a fountain of plasma, which was extremely realistic.Very exciting.

"Okay, this time is very good, OK. Cut over!" Chen Xiaotang shouted in a low voice, reaching out to the director Xiao Sheng who was directing in front, and made a forward cutting motion.

The tacit understanding between Xiao Sheng and Chen Xiaotang has reached the point where he knows what Chen Xiaotang wants without raising his eyelids. Before Chen Xiaotang can finish his hand gestures, the camera has already cut from the panoramic view to a beautiful close-up——

Zhang Manyu, who was dressed as a man, was knocked flying with his long sword by a burly actor, and fell to the ground; blade.He kicked down the crotch of the actor with a kick!

Miss Wu's family is ruthless and aggressive.

"Ah!" The actor uttered a painful and inhuman cry.

"Cut, it's so beautiful!" Chen Xiaotang jumped up and shouted into the loudspeaker: "Zhang Manyu, you are so awesome!"

Zhang Manyu had a tough face just now, but at this moment she suddenly became very embarrassed, blushing like an apple, and hurriedly concealed it and ran to the assistant to ask for water.

The actor yelled at Qu: "Brother Tang, she...she's coming for real, really kicking her down!"

Chen Xiaotang pretended not to know, "Are you wronged? Go to the director!"

Glancing at Xiao Sheng with a serious face, I'll pick the actor, I don't care if I don't look for it, so I don't have to look for it!
Seeing his appearance, Chen Xiaotang appeased him softly and softly: "Okay -- how is the kick going, are you well protected?"

The dragon set came back to his senses, "It's done, but she has a lot of strength..."

"Producer! My brother, today's salary will be increased by 50 yuan!"

Zhang Manyu smiled while touching his ankle: "Why did you pay him more money? I said he should be fined! Hey, I said, boss, how many aluminum plates are you laying underneath, it's so hard!"

Zhang Manyu was wearing men's clothes, wrinkled her delicate and small nose, and smiled so brightly that she stunned all the extras. After listening to her words, they pointed at the extras and roared with laughter.

Chen Xiaotang happily walked over, stood next to the director Xiao Sheng and said, "Brother Sheng, you are really the one who trained Manyu so well! If the ratings of this show become a hit, you really deserve a certificate!"

Xiao Sheng said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you issue a certificate or not. But according to me, I should apply for a subsidy for you. You have been the acting director for so long, and the shots you shot are also great."

Hearing what the director Xiao Sheng said, Chen Xiaotang chuckled, "Then I don't dare to be your apprentice. You are already doing me a favor by not charging tuition fees!"

"No, that's what you said, it's not that I won't compensate you—" Xiao Sheng joked, then walked over to take the loudspeaker from the people around him, and said loudly—"I announce! The crew of "Looking for the Qin" , the part of the location in the mainland is all finished!"

"Ula!!!!" Everyone cheered.

...........................

The Xiangjiang River is golden, and the brilliant sun is rising slowly on the river.

A few fishermen's boats floated on the calm river, occasionally whistled a few times, startled a few seabirds, spread their wings, and skimmed across the golden river——
This is the morning in Hong Kong.

A week after TVB's "Looking for the Qin" crew returned to Hong Kong~Hong Kong, TVB immediately made a big fuss about going to mainland China for filming.

Invited well-known media reporters to publish an article on Hong Kong's largest entertainment magazine "Entertainment Star"-Wireless Xiongqi, spending money to film the scene; the ancient city of Xianyang, accompany you to find Qin!
The content is as follows:

As we all know, TVB TV has always been known for its lonely and lonely filming, but this time it fought fiercely with ATV's "Qin Shi Huang", and TVB started filming "Looking for the Qin", the actors chose the recently popular superstar Chen Xiaotang, the classical beauty Zhao Yazhi, and Huang Rihua from the Five Tigers , Miss Hong Kong runner-up Zhang Manyu, etc., it can be said that the lineup is strong, and the cast is no small matter.

In addition to the soft factors such as actors and scripts, the hardware facilities of "Looking for Qin Ji" have also kept up. This mainly refers to the filming location of the TV series. This is an unprecedented move for TVB, which has always been known for its "stingy production".Because in order to save money, TVB’s TV dramas were usually filmed in its own TV city. There is only one ancient costume street and Minguo street in the TV city, so every scene seems familiar. The church, all the villas in commercial war movies are that one."

But in "Looking for the Qin Dynasty", TVB paid a lot of money.It is understood that during the filming period, the crew went to several cities in the mainland to shoot scenes, realizing beautiful people and beautiful scenes.

Director Xiao Sheng said, "The background of "Looking for the Qin Dynasty" is set in the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. It is a drama that I have not tried to shoot on TVB for more than ten years. The investment is very large." It took JYG and other places to travel around, only to shoot a lot of ancient scenes close to the plot. "Because Hong Kong is not a big place, if you shoot ancient historical dramas, you must have big scenes, and there are only a handful of places where big scenes can be shot here. Lantau Island, even so, there are often revealing shots. It can be said that the scene Insufficiency greatly restricts the filming of historical dramas in Hong Kong. For this reason, if our wireless TV station wants to make this "Looking for the Qin" well, it must spend a lot of money to go to the mainland to shoot scenes. Army battles, the fight between the ranch and horse thieves in the plains and grasslands, and the battle of soldiers guarding the frontier at the ruins of the ancient Great Wall, etc. In addition, when we were filming this part of the ranch, there was a scene where Chen Xiaotang robbed Zhang Manyu, In a field of rapeseed flowers, it is very beautiful. In addition, in order to shoot war scenes, we invited the local garrison troops, about 300 cavalry, there is no way to do this in Hong Kong..."

From the framing of "Looking for the Qin Dynasty", we can already see the sincerity of TVB.

………………

Once this report was published, it immediately caused an uproar in the industry.Many people have seen that the war between TVB and ATV seems to be getting hotter and hotter.

Look, it's all costing money, and this time it seems that the two sides are determined to die.

Alright, we can feast our eyes this time.It must be great to spend a lot of money on a movie, don't miss it!

There are different opinions on whether ATV's "Qin Shihuang" is better or TVB's "Looking for the Qin Dynasty" is better.

Facing the raging flames, Fang Yihua, Xiao Sheng, etc., the wireless executives headed by Fang Yihua and Xiao Sheng made a decisive decision and announced that the drama "Looking for the Qin Dynasty" will premiere in three days! !
For this reason, TVB, which has always been famous for being stingy, even funded and held a premiere ceremony.

At the ceremony, the crew of "Looking for the Qin Dynasty" accepted interviews from the entertainment media, and introduced their newcomers --- Zhang Manyu and Zhang Weijian.

Needless to say, Zhang Manyu, as this year's Miss Hong Kong, her every move is so eye-catching.

"This is a smart girl. I hope that Wu Yanfang played by her will catch everyone's eyes this time."

"She was born as Miss Hong Kong, as for her acting skills, we will wait and see!"

"Will there be another Weng Meiling or Zhao Yazhi in Wireless?"

"Is this the future female star?"

……

Several media commented so.

As for Zhang Weijian, who looks handsome—or rather good looking, although he can't compete with the leading actor Chen Xiaotang, he is also more handsome than others. Many people didn't pay much attention to him before, but this time TVB actually chose this person as "" The important role of "Qin Shihuang", it can be seen that this person is also extraordinary.

Sure enough, at the premiere ceremony, Zhang Weijian showed his singing talent. A song "Friends" by Tan Yonglin made many people sigh, and a song "Flastic" by Chen Xiaotang pushed his performance to a climax.

For this small young man recommended by TVB, many media are generally optimistic, not only because of his great singing skills, but more importantly, he has a baby face.

But in fact, this small "baby face" will greatly limit Zhang Weijian's development in the future. In terms of roles, he will never be able to escape his "childishness".

During the frustrated years of "Baby Face" Zhang Weijian, there was a personal sentence that he remembered in his heart, which became his motto on the way of performing arts in the future, and he has always supported him to continue his struggle.This person was Zheng Zeshi, the best actor of the Golden Statue at that time.At that time, Zheng Zeshi was the big brother in the industry, and Zhang Weijian was just an ordinary artist, but he took the initiative to talk to Zhang Weijian.It is said that among Hong Kong artists, there are not many who overwhelm him with their acting skills.This sentence gave Zhang Weijian a lot of support and let him know that acting skills can be successful.
Encouraged by these words, Zhang Weijian made unremitting efforts and finally became popular with the mythological drama "Sword of the Sun and Moon" in the early 90s.This drama set a record for the highest ratings of Hong Kong TV series at that time, and the career gradually dawned.For a while, he became the most popular figure in the entertainment circle.His humorous performance style was favored by major film studios, and they asked him to make movies one after another.First, he was dubbed "Zhou Xingchi's successor" by the media, but his film salary is only the old figure of Zhou Tianwang; second, he also has a certain box office guarantee, so in just three years, he has made dozens of movies.

However, all these good times did not last long, and Zhang Weijian's popularity was only a flash in the pan.Because he took too many roles, the exposure rate was too frequent, and most of the films he took were boring and funny films, the audience stopped supporting them when they got tired of watching them;No one asked him to make movies or record records anymore, because he was forced to make a living.He sold the big house he bought when he became popular.Compared with the days before when I was not popular, the pain of slipping from the wind after becoming popular is even more unbearable.

Later, a "Young Fang Shiyu" made him popular all over the country again.And he became the queen actor of the great director Wang Jing, starred in many excellent TV dramas, became the "darling" of the TV industry, and his career in the music world also rose, with new developments.

But now, due to the birth of the drama "Looking for the Qin Dynasty", Zhang Weijian became popular first. As for whether he will "up and down" like his previous life in the future, it is unknown.

In short, the mass media is generally optimistic about him now. After all, this drama has a big name Chen Xiaotang "escorting" newcomers like them, and now Chen Xiaotang's popularity is not only a star of film and television songs, but also a brilliant "dazzling" 2000 million big guide" title.And this title is one of the few in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and more importantly, this is the first film directed by Chen Xiaotang!

Its significance is absolutely extraordinary!
As a media company like TVB that started out on the basis of "stinginess", of course it will not let go of Chen Xiaotang's trump card.

Ever since, at the premiere ceremony, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help standing up to accept everyone's interview, and jokingly said: "One Chen Xiaotang, on top of three Qin Shihuangs!!!"

This is what is said.

The reaction from ATV was——Pu Ni!Take a look at it!The ratings of our drama "Qin Shihuang" have exploded to 42 points!You have the ability to catch up wirelessly!

In order to counterattack TVB, ATV's executives also said to the media with a smile: "Everyone knows how to blow water, come here if you have the courage, and see who is the one who wiped out the Six Kingdoms!!!"

In short, the TV circle is full of turmoil, and a big battle is imminent.
