Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Luohan Temple is located in YZ District, Shancheng. It was built during the Zhiping Period of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was originally named Zhiping Temple and was later renamed after Luohan Cave. It was bombed during the Anti-Japanese War and was rebuilt in the 1980s.

This is a temple built in a busy city, but there are not many tourists and pilgrims on weekdays. The tranquility of the temple and the hustle and bustle separated by a wall coexist at the same time. When you are inside, you can feel that the temple is incompatible with its surroundings.

In mid-August, the crew of "Crazy Stone" entered this modern and classical temple.

On the same day, the actors Ning Hao found locally in the mountain city joined the crew, including Peng Bo, who plays Xie Xiaomeng.

So far, all the main actors of "Crazy Stone" have arrived, except for Leung Ka-fai, who plays Thief Mike, who has not yet joined the cast.

The first script reading also started on the second floor of the guest house rented by the crew.

The lines in "Crazy Stone" contain a lot of local accents from the mountain city. Ning Hao gave the actors two days to adapt and started the final arrangement and layout of the scene.

Shanhe followed Ning Hao and started working as an assistant director.

In the eyes of the public, the director has the impression of sitting in the director's chair and giving orders. It seems that he is the most leisurely person in the entire crew, waving his hand and saying a few words and that's it.

In fact, it is not the case. Director is a very tedious job. First of all, he has to ensure the smooth operation of the entire crew, arrange and coordinate various departments, control and manage the crew, and try to prevent accidents from happening.

Secondly, the director must let all departments work together effectively and integrate the images and thoughts in his mind into the shots, so that the entire film can slowly take shape according to his own aesthetics and vision.

Therefore, the director has to worry about all the big and small things in the entire crew, and you have to know all aspects of knowledge. Once the crew does not operate satisfactorily, the director will be under great pressure.

When Shanhe followed Ning Hao to make final preparations before starting the machine, he fully felt Ning Hao's increasing anxiety and micromanaging!

"Crazy Stone" was still launched according to Ning Hao's rhythm, and it still looked like a low-cost production. There was no press conference, and no media reporters were invited. It was just a simple worship ceremony in the courtyard of Luohan Temple. ceremony.

After everyone shared the sacrifices symbolizing auspicious startup, the crew moved to the river crossing ropeway. The first scene of "Crazy Stone" is the encounter between Xie Xiaomeng and the heroine Jingjing, which is also the beginning of the entire movie!

The logistics and props team was well prepared, and with almost no time wasted, the crew got into the shooting rhythm.

"Attention all departments, the first shot of the first scene of "Crazy Stone", action!"

With the slate's shout, "Crazy Stone" officially started shooting!

Ning Hao chose to start with the outdoor shooting to get the team and actors working together. It was difficult first and then easy. Naturally, the process would not be smooth.

The cooperation of the filming team was pretty good, there were only some minor glitches, and it was not so easy for the actors to get into the mood!

Peng Bo, who plays Xie Xiaomeng, may have been influenced by Fan Binbin, and his performance has been unsatisfactory.

"Peng Bo, you are picking up girls now, not having a crush. Be more coquettish and have lewd eyes!"

"Peng Bo! Why can't you let go of the big beauty? You are also an old stage actor. Do you still need me to teach you! One more thing!"

…

"What the hell are you doing! Can you still act! For such a simple shot, you gave me so many shots!"

Ning Hao's voice became louder and louder, more and more irritable!

"Director! Give me a few minutes and I'll be quiet!" Peng Bo said with an ugly face.

"OK! You have to adjust yourself. The crew can't wait for you all the time!"

Fan Binbin is dressed in a tight-fitting leather jacket and a black woolen hat. Her style is beyond the comparison of the girl in the original film! She hardly had to act, she was just a sight to see standing there!

A man! When you meet a beautiful woman and a well-known actress, you always feel a little restrained. The weirdness of Xie Xiaomeng in the film is rarely seen in real life!

Peng Bo's absence is normal.

The morning's filming ended with Ning Hao's scolding. Several shots of the cable car were finally passed. The crew also shot a panoramic view of the entire river along the cable car.

But the atmosphere in the crew seemed a bit low, and Ning Hao's anxiety and scolding affected everyone's mood.

That's the thing, when things go well there are no taboos, but when things don't go well you'll fall down even if you go on a smooth road!

The afternoon shooting got stuck again in Deng Chao!

Bao Shihong and Sanbao secretly drove the factory car out to practice driving, but were stunned by cans falling from the sky! This led to the subsequent plot.

In just a few scenes, Deng Chao's acting was stumbling, and Ning Hao's voice was almost hoarse.

"Deng Chao! You are still an outstanding graduate of the Chinese Opera. Come here and see what kind of shit you are playing. Sanbao is a stupid young man, a low-level person who is facing being laid off. You actually performed the role of young and handsome. For the taste of good youth!”

Throughout the afternoon, the crew kept accompanying Deng Chaomo repeatedly, but he was never interested.

The atmosphere on the set became increasingly gloomy, and Deng Chao looked even pale and in no condition.

Ning Hao was so angry that he couldn't even curse. Well, originally, I wanted to find someone with acting skills to play this inconspicuous supporting role, but I didn't expect that I might as well find a special agent to make up the number. I wasted an entire afternoon!

Shanhe saw at the side that Ning Hao and Deng Chao were unable to get off the stage. They would definitely not be able to pass if they continued filming. He said: "Old Ning, don't be too anxious. It's normal for the first few days to get used to each other. In this way, let's do it this afternoon Let’s call it a day, calm down at night, and give Deng Chao two days, I believe he will adjust!”

Ning Hao glanced at Shanhe and nodded helplessly, "That's it for today! Let's pack up and go back to Luohan Temple!"

Shanhe made a gesture to Ning Hao and walked in the direction of Deng Chao.

He walked up to Deng Chao, who was squatting on the ground dejectedly, and patted his shoulder, "Don't be dejected. It's just a small problem. The more you care about it, the harder it will be to get into the mood!"

Deng Chao looked up and saw Shanhe standing in front of him, and quickly stood up, "Thank you for leaving me the honor of leaving the stage just now. This is my first movie. I really want to act well, but I don't know what's going on, but something is wrong." , I want to dig a hole and bury myself now!"

"Don't think about it. Relaxation is the right way for an actor to adjust his condition. In this way, let's find a place to masturbate later and let's talk!" Shanhe said to Deng Chao with a smile.

Deng Chao unexpectedly looked at Shanhe with gratitude, "Thank you, I'll treat you later!"

"Haha... that's okay!" Shanhe turned around and found Huang Bo, who was helping the crew pack up equipment, and shouted to him: "Huang Bo, come here!"

When Huang Bo heard that Shanhe was calling, he quickly said hello to the crew members and trotted over to Shanhe.

"Boss, do you have a problem with me?"

Shanhe and Huang Bo have met several times. Huang Bo has also signed a contract with Chuhe Film and Television. He is the first contracted actor of Chuhe Film and Television Agency Department. Shanhe speaks to him with his own casualness.

"Huang Bo, don't go to the props team to help today. Find a place near Luohan Temple in the evening. Let's drink some beer and have sex together!"

Huang Bo had a high emotional intelligence and knew that this was to enlighten Deng Chao. He smiled and replied: "No problem, leave it to me, Chao'er. Let's find a reliable place for the boss later. Don't be surrounded by book fans then." Got it!"

Deng Chao reluctantly nodded and smiled at Huang Bo.

The three of them were about to break up and go their separate ways when Fan Binbin came up from behind and said, "If you want to improve the food, you have to take me with you! I am the only woman in the crew today, and I have been with you all afternoon!"

Shanhe turned to look at the controversial beauty actors in this Hua Yu, and said with a smile: "Sister Binbin, we go to string, don't your actresses keep in figure? Besides, you look like this and we are on the road. If you are masturbating, aren’t you causing trouble for us! Women are too beautiful, but they are the source of trouble!”

"Haha...Shanhe, you are really good at talking. You can say so nicely when you refuse others. I will change clothes and put on makeup at the guest house later. It won't be a problem. I haven't touched any meat or fish for a week. You have to let me Satisfy your greed!" Fan Binbin smiled brightly and said that he would not refuse if the country was not good.

"Okay then! Huang Bo and Deng Chao will find a good place later, and I'll let you know!"

"Then it's agreed!" Fan Binbin said hello to the three of them and left with his assistant.

Huang Bo's eyes turned from Fan Binbin's back to Shan He, "Boss, let's find a place with a private room, otherwise we will really get into trouble. A woman who is too beautiful is a disaster!"

"Okay, when you find it, call me or Yangliu!"

In the evening, after taking a shower, Shanhe followed the two beauties out of the guest house next to Luohan Temple.

Fan Binbin changed into a T-shirt and jeans, and wore a baseball cap but still couldn't hide his amorous feelings. It seems that he was very involved in the filming of "Mobile Phone"!

The place Huang Bo found was really good. There were not many people in the barbecue restaurant, and there were two small private rooms at the back. It looked like it had just opened, and the environment was quite clean.

The five of them each sat down in the small private room. Huang Bo arranged some skewers. Deng Chao was still in a low mood and seemed a bit dull and mechanical.

"Deng Chao, I heard that you have a cheerful temperament. Why do you feel like a different person? You just got scolded a few times by the director, that's not it!" Shanhe said to Deng Chao who was standing aside with a smile.

"That's right, how can an actor not be scolded by the director? I was only sixteen years old when I was on the set of "Huanzhugege". At first, I cried when I was scolded by the director. Later, I got used to being scolded, and I basically became numb! "Fan Binbin agreed.

Huang Bo also finished ordering skewers and walked back to the private room. He patted Deng Chao and said, "Chao'er, you've only graduated two years ago! You've become the leading actor in big-budget TV series and acted in movies. My boss I can still pull you to string, lucky, okay, I am almost thirty, I haven't graduated yet! Don't be deadly, drink two more glasses for a while, just go back to sleep! "

The persuasion of several people made Deng Chao's expression relaxed a little. The skewers and beer made several people enjoy themselves. The food of the crew was indeed not very good!

The two girls didn't drink beer. Shanhe, Huang Bo and Deng exchanged greetings back and forth twice, and they started talking more.

"Deng Chao, why do you think you can't enter the character state today?"

Deng Chao thought for a moment, "It should be that his mentality was not in a good state. He started to get impatient when his condition was not good, and then he completely collapsed!"

Shanhe nodded, "This is one aspect, but there is another aspect that is the key. Your last drama was "The Young Emperor", right?"

"Yes!"

"How can you play a straightforward and down-to-earth little character while you're still filming "The Young Emperor"? You need to put aside the feeling of the last movie and reposition yourself!" Shan He directly pointed out Deng Chao's problem. .

Deng Chao looked at Shanhe thoughtfully, "You are right. I have been in a daze until now in the afternoon. Now I have come to my senses. For this reason, my performance in "The Young Emperor" was so smooth. I am used to it. I lost the atmosphere of the TV series and the characters, and I couldn’t get over it all of a sudden, no wonder I always felt something was wrong!”

Shanhe smiled at him, turned to Huang Bo and said: "Huang Bo, when you have no time these two days, you accompany Deng Chaoduo to go shopping in the surrounding markets and parks. You are good at playing a small character. Please help me." Deng Chao, let him quickly integrate into the market, and the temperament of the young emperor must be erased!"

"I'm good at this! I have been a common man for half my life, and the roles I played were all migrant workers. I have never even played a small part in people above high school. Boss, leave it to me!" Huang Bo responded, patting his chest.

After the problem was discussed and a solution was found, everyone felt a lot more relaxed. Deng Chao also regained a bit of his youthful style. In addition, Huang Bo and Fan Binbin were both people with high emotional intelligence. The process of masturbation was More and more enthusiastic.

Several people talked about the embarrassing things they did when they first entered the industry, and even Yang Liu talked about how he felt at a loss when he first became an agent.

It caused bursts of laughter from time to time!

After listening to Yang Liu's narration, Fan Binbin turned to look at Shanhe, "Shanhe, please tell me too! It will feel much easier after you finish talking!"

Several people immediately focused their attention on Shanhe.

Shanhe smiled and looked at these gossiping people, and said calmly: "I have always been wise and powerful, I even admire myself!"

Yang Liu glanced at Shanhe and quickly broke the news to break his pretense, "Shanhe can't learn to drive. Once he gets in the driver's seat, his hands and feet won't obey him. Even the masters in the driving school can't do anything to him!"

Shan He glared at Yang Liu angrily, "If you dare to damage your boss's image, your salary will be gone next month!"

Ha ha…

After this session of sex, Shanhe completely started his career as an assistant director.

Follow Ning Hao to start, check the progress with the shooting plan, arrange extra actors to cooperate with the shooting, coordinate conflicts among various departments, handle some emergencies, and have a meeting in the evening to summarize the day's work and prepare for tomorrow's shooting plan.

I basically go back to my room and fall asleep all day long, then get up the next day, wash up, and continue working.

Being a director is so tiring!

Fortunately, the crew is getting along more and more smoothly, and the actors are getting used to the director's requirements. Deng Chao regained his form after two days, and his performance of Sanbao was a little more joyful than Shanhe's impression, and he was a straightforward and stupid young man. There is a bit of Erha in his performance, which often causes laughter.

A week later, the crew of "Crazy Stone" finally had some fun shooting a comedy movie, and the low-pressure running-in period was finally over!

During this period, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been raging around the world for a whole month. The North American box office has exceeded 300 million, reaching 320 million. It is estimated that it will exceed 350 million US dollars by the end of its release.

The global box office has exceeded 650 million, and it is a foregone conclusion that it will exceed 700 million US dollars after the release. It also dominates the box office rankings in Neon and Bang countries. The only big box office in the world is China that has not yet been released.

The first box office dividends from River Films and Shanhe were also received smoothly, while dividends from other channels will still need to be settled in two or three months.

Qu Ling announced on the spot that the employees of River Film and Television would be given an extra month's salary as bonuses that month, and then took a flight back to the Magic City.

This time Chuhe Film and Television not only made a lot of money, but also trained and absorbed a group of domestic and foreign talents, which can be said to be a huge gain!

All this news was informed to Shanhe through Yangliu, but Shanhe was only happy for one night, and the next day he fell into the tension of acting for the first time.

Almost every main creator of "Crazy Stone" has a small cameo role in the film.

Ning Hao played the doctor in the opening scene, and Shanhe also followed the crowd and took on the role of a temporary security guard.

Just one line, one scene.

Shanhe was wearing a somewhat loose security uniform, a big-brimmed hat, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his nose. He looked a bit elegant and thin.

"I said you are trying to ruin my image. Why do I look like an old, weak and disabled soldier!" Shanhe said to Ning Hao and the others with a wry smile.

"Haha..." Ning Hao and the photographer both laughed, "This is the effect we want, the contrast!"

"All departments, get ready! It's Shanhe's part soon. We have to film the great writer well. We can't waste Shanhe's first appearance at the expense of his image!"

As soon as they heard that Shanhe was going to make a guest appearance, all the cast and crew gathered around. Everyone came to watch the biggest star in the crew with a smile, and their playful eyes were all focused on Shanhe.

Shanhe looked around and said in a sultry tone: "I asked for the venue to be cleared. So many people were watching, which affected my performance of my acting skills!"

Ha ha…

The people around me all laughed.

"Shanhe, you think this is a sex scene, and you still want to clear the scene!" Deng Chao, a hot young man, recovered and couldn't help it.

"That's right, don't be afraid of being stuck. Just get used to it. We are still waiting to see the wonderful interpretation by the great writer!" Fan Binbin also cheered from the side.

"Don't think about clearing the place. Just close your eyes and go in!" Ning Hao also replied with a smile.

Guo Tao, who co-starred with Shan He, said with a smile: "Just one word, Brother Bao, it's a fire truck! It's very simple, don't be nervous, just look at me and say it!"

A few minutes later, the scene was ready, and the boss shouted: "Scene 58 of Luohan Temple, action!"

Shanhe shivered when he heard "action". It was as if he was sitting in the driving position. He had no control over anything, his eyes were dull, and his face was mechanical and he subconsciously said in the local accent of Shancheng during practice: "Bao... Bao... Brother Bao, yes Fire...fire truck!"

"Card!"

Along with Ning Hao's shout, a burst of laughter broke out around him.

"Shanhe, are you acting nervous? It's so funny!"

"Haha...Shanhe, your design is so joyful!"

Even the willow branches trembled while covering their mouths and laughing.

"I'm not ready yet!" Shanhe looked around awkwardly and insisted, "Do it again, give me two minutes to find a feeling!"

"No need, this one passed, it's much better than I thought!" Ning Hao said to Shanhe with a smile.

This is enough, no, my image is completely ruined!

Shanhe walked to the camera and looked back at his first performance, "I'm going!" Is he playing a fool? Shanhe in the picture looks thin and weak, and his words and expressions have the stupidity of a cerebral palsy patient!

Shanhe gritted his teeth and said: "This one won't work. I've already acted like a fool. Lao Ning, let's do another one. We must have some artistic pursuits!"

Ha ha…

Shanhe's words caused another burst of laughter from the surrounding people.

Ning Hao suppressed his laughter and responded: "You are just a guest star, not even an extra. Wouldn't it be a waste of resources to do another one? It's almost enough! This one is pretty good!"

Shan He glared at Ning Hao and said, "You're cruel, if you cut this line in the later stage, it will give the public a misunderstanding of literature!"

"Haha..." Ning Hao couldn't hold it in anymore and responded with a smile: "Everyone knows that you have superb acting skills, Shanhe, you definitely have the potential of the trinity!"

"Fuck you!"

As the filming progress continued to accelerate, there were more and more laughter in the crew, and the atmosphere in the crew became increasingly relaxed.

Among the many cast and crew members, Huang Bo, Deng Chao and Fan Binbin are the most popular!

Fan Binbin is the only big beauty in the crew. In her current state, she plays Jingjing, which is basically a one-size-fits-all. In addition, she is a good person and often asks her assistant to buy some snacks and fruits to share with everyone. The entire crew is very satisfied with her.

As for Huang Bo, he has high emotional intelligence, can talk, and is hard-working and able to endure hardships. When he is not on set, he often helps the crew with dirty work, and everyone can chat with him.

Deng Chao's personality dictates that. He is still young and relatively innocent. He likes to join in the fun, loves to joke, and is capable of making jokes. The atmosphere will be joyful when he is around.

With these three people here, the crew of "Crazy Stone" is full of excitement and the atmosphere is great! The filming staff and actors also cooperated very well.

The crew is in top form!

After half a month of filming, the first completed main character appeared, Fan Binbin was completed!

In order to hold a farewell party for her, the crew got off work two hours early and set up a large table at a Sichuan restaurant next to Luohan Temple.

Everyone had a very lively meal and started to toast frequently. Fan Binbin was also a woman and drank the talkative Deng Chao to the ground!

Before the show ended, Fan Binbin toasted Shanhe alone, and said to Shanhe with a hint of drunkenness: "Shanhe, if there is any suitable opportunity in the future, don't forget you sister Binbin, I have no background and no qualifications in this circle. It’s not easy to mess around!”

Shanhe drank the wine with a smile. This woman is indeed a figure. Regardless of the rights and wrongs of the controversy, she still worked hard from the grassroots to become a wealthy family. As for the ending, it is also a cycle of cause and effect. "Sister Binbin, I will remember it, and so will you." Don't work too hard, you have a job rewarded by God, if you keep going steadily, you will definitely have a good future!"

"Then I'll lend you some good advice!" Fan Binbin drank the wine proudly.

The next day, just after Fan Binbin left, Liang Jiahui joined the group!

This is the biggest actor in "Crazy Stone" and everyone has high expectations for him.

Ning Hao invited Liang Jiahui to dinner alone in the tavern that night, with Shanhe accompanying him.

"Mr. Liang, I am very happy to work with you. I have watched your movies countless times, and many of them have been filmed repeatedly. Your acting skills are very admired by us juniors!" Ning Hao said after toasting Liang Jiahui.

Liang Jiahui drank the glass dry and responded with a smile: "Director Ning, I'm not familiar with you, but from Shanhe's trust and attention to you, I can see that you must be a director with ideas and talent, and the script is very exciting. , you can rest assured that I will try my best to play the role of the thief Mike, and I have been preparing for this role from the day I took the role!"

Ning Hao poured wine for Liang Jiahui, "Mr. Liang, "Crazy Stone" is a cold humor film. The character Mike the Thief doesn't have much space, but he is very crucial. He is ruthless, but he must also have a sense of joy, which is very contradictory. ! is the most difficult role to play in the whole movie. I have gathered all the scenes of Thief Mike together. I plan to try my best to complete your scene first, which will not only save you time, but also make this character perform more coherently. ,what do you think?"

"No problem!" Liang Jiahui agreed simply, "We'll start tomorrow. I'm looking forward to this performance!"

"I'm also looking forward to seeing the superb skills of the Thousand Faces actor!"

After the work was handed over, the three of them talked about the film development in Hong Kong Island.

Liang Jiahui sighed again and again when he said, "Hong Kong Film has talked about saving the market so many times. Can one movie and one series alone save Hong Kong Film? What a joke!"

"It's still a matter of market and vision!" Shanhe said after taking a sip of wine, "The mainland's market potential is huge enough, and Hong Kong Island has a surplus of film talents. Hong Kong Island filmmakers should turn their attention to the mainland. This is an obvious thing! If not, If we take action, Hong Kong movies will probably have to rely on police and gangster films to support themselves in the future!"

Tony Leung responded with a wry smile: "I have been making films in the Mainland since the 1980s. Among all Hong Kong actors, I know the Mainland movies best. I have expressed my opinion more than once that Mainland movies will have a broad market." There are prospects, but it’s not that some people can’t see it. They care too much about their own small circle and the little money and profit in front of them. The Academy Awards must have films with Hong Kong investment in order to be shortlisted. This approach is too ridiculous! Hug! There is no point in clinging to the glory of the past!"

Shanhe and Ning Hao looked at each other, smiled and said to Liang Jiahui: "Mr. Liang, everyone has their own destiny. Hong Kong movies rely on a few people, and a few movies cannot change it. No matter how commercialized the movie is, it will We still need cultural support. I have talked about this topic with Mr. Jin Yong. To be honest, I am not very optimistic about the future of Hong Kong Island movies because the mainstream culture of Hong Kong Island is too different from that of the mainland!"

Liang Jiahui was silent for a long time after hearing this, and only replied: "This question is too complicated, I can't understand it, maybe it will take time!"

When the three of them talked about this, their excitement dropped. After explaining their shooting plans for tomorrow, the three of them left and returned to the hotel.

The next day, Liang Jiahui quickly got into the rhythm of filming Thief Mike.

The temperament-changing skills of the older generation of Hong Kong actors were developed during the boom period of Hong Kong movies!

At that time, the pace of film shooting in Hong Kong was too fast. The average production time of each film was no more than one and a half months, and it usually only took two or three months from project establishment to release.

The adaptation period given to actors is too short. If actors want to win in the competition, they have to adapt to this rhythm.

Liang Jiahui is the most successful representative among them. There is no particularly difficult role in "Crazy Stone". In comparison, Thief Mike is the most difficult character.

But it only took Liang Jiahui one day to nail the role. He already had his own understanding and imagination of the role!

Just by cutting a cigarette butt, you can see from Liang Jiahui's movements and eyes that Big Thief Mike is confident and proud of himself. Others can easily guess Big Thief Mike's past experiences. He is definitely a veteran with means!

The moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen full, and the moonlight tonight will be beautiful. I wish all my book friends a bright moon, a full moon in their hearts, and a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
