Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

Yang Li seemed to have been turned on by some wonderful switch, and he quickly got along in the crew like a fish in water.

In fact, it was not a big problem.

Although Yang Li's acting skills are still lacking, the role he played was not the protagonist in the first place, and the fit between the role and Yang Li itself is quite high.

Furthermore, among such a group of older actors, it is also interesting to see Yang Li, a young fresh meat at the right age.Otherwise, these people seem to be old faces, and they are very tired.

"Little Lili, I heard that you are very good at drinking?" Director Fan Chu walked over with a smile during the intermission, "How good is your drinking?"

Yang Li suddenly felt a little cold all over his body: "Generally, generally it can be drunk."

The last time he was filming "Seven People Talking About Ghosts", he was called to drink with the managers of those theaters just because he could drink. He drank until he smelled liquor for a while and felt like throwing up.

Being able to drink and drinking a lot are two different things.

At this time, the director suddenly came to ask about this matter, there may be a problem.

Yang Li's radar was very sensitive, and he immediately became humble.

"Don't be modest, Yang Li." Zhou Long was resting on the side, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard Yang Li say this, "I heard Wu Shu say that you drank the entire studio by yourself."

"That's right, Yang Li, the last time you were at my house, didn't you even drink a few bottles without panting?" Li Tianhou also followed suit, "It's a good thing for young people to be able to drink, why are you so humble?"

"Yes, yes, Yang Li is especially good at drinking."

…………

Seeing the seniors reveal their details, Yang Li was filled with an indescribable feeling.

Is it better to pretend to be drunk when drinking with seniors in the future?The fate of not giving others face is that now the old background is exposed.

"Director, if you have anything to say, just say it." Yang Li felt that Fan Chu's smile was a bit harsh, so he asked directly.

"It's nothing." The smile on Fan Chu's face became more sincere, "I just thought about it and decided to add some roles for you. Gangsters, you know, they all like to drink. "Century" must involve some gangster elements in it. The wine fight is very good and very distinctive."

"Water or Sprite can be used instead?" Yang Li replied dryly.

Drinking scenes in movies and TV shows are basically drinking water. Who really drinks?

"How can water and wine be the same?" Fan Chu replied without thinking, "After drinking, people's eyes and faces will change. I think this will help you express the emotions of the characters."

"This one……"

Yang Li would not agree rashly.

Director Fan Chu has said so, and he will definitely play it for real when the time comes, and once he gets stuck, he will have to drink back and forth.This is simply impossible to think about, who knows what director Fan Chu will make for him then?

"Think about it carefully." Fan Chu continued to persuade, "When they were filming "Drunken Master", they deliberately got themselves drunk in order to find a state. This kind of thing is very common."

"I just don't think it's necessary..." Yang Li tried to struggle, "I can't see it even with water."

Why drink alcohol when you can solve it with water?

"That's it." Fan Chu sighed imperceptibly, "Since you insist so much, forget it. Wu Shu would have shown up in this scene, just as a little easter egg, if you refuse, then..."

Fan Chu was about to leave, but found that his arm was being held by Yang Li.

"Wait, director." Yang Li forced a smile on his face, "Who is Mr. Zheng playing in the scene you mentioned?"

"The bartender." Fan Chu smiled, "Just one line, 'Guest, this is the wine you want', it's gone."

The special guest star has already been confirmed to be Pei Rong, so I'm sorry to use the same name to promote Zheng Wushu again.Therefore, simply giving Zheng Wushu a secondary role is like a little easter egg.

Thinking about it, the audience who saw this scene will be surprised that the bartender is played by Zheng Wushu, but when they want to be sure, they will find that Zheng Wushu has only so many roles.

Haha, it's funny just thinking about it.

Director Fan Chu is different from what he appears on the surface, and unexpectedly has some evil tastes.

"Director, I thought about it and think you are right. How can this water compare with wine?" Yang Li's eyes sparkled, "Just listen to you, I will act."

Teacher Zheng personally brought the wine, can you not drink it?

Can such a role be cheaper for others?

No, absolutely not!

"Then it's settled." Fan Chu patted Yang Li's shoulder encouragingly, "I'm very optimistic about you, don't worry, I will make a good film of you in this scene."

Yang Li showed a polite yet awkward smile.

Ginger is still old and spicy.

"The artist you signed still cares about you, the boss." Fan Chu smiled friendlyly at Zheng Wushu, "Not bad."

"I think beer is fine." Zheng Wushu opened his mouth and said, "White wine, if it is not handled well, it will be an expense. The budget seems to be a little insufficient. If the shooting is not smooth, it may cost more."

"The money to buy wine shouldn't be too expensive." Fan Chu calculated, "A bottle of liquor is only..."

"We bought it ourselves." Zheng Wushu looked at Fan Chu and said, "But we let the people below buy it. They layer after layer, and they always need some oil and water. If we set the price to death, maybe they will buy it." Secondary products are used as good products, so the budget for buying wine should be at least twice the market price."

Fan Chu was speechless immediately.

This involves the issue of shooting costs.

If a director can control the cost well, he will undoubtedly become the darling of many investors.But the real problem is that the director who shoots the movie can't be regarded as the boss. There are so many people in a crew, and the purchase of materials is all contracted by special personnel, and these contractors all have strong backgrounds without exception.

There is no doubt that money in the entertainment industry is easy to make.

Now the cost of shooting is getting higher and higher, but the quality of the things produced is not very good. To a certain extent, it is because these relevant personnel are becoming more and more popular, and the money required is also increasing.

Even those group performers have to pay the boss of the group performers some money, not to mention the lucrative job of purchasing materials?

"You're right." Fan Chu got a headache when he thought of this. The person in charge of purchasing the materials for the film crew is a relative of the investor. It is said that he has a gangster background. It is not worthwhile to fight with the other party over a few bottles of liquor.

"It's up to you, beer is fine, or if it's really not good, I'd better use mineral water." Fan Chu thought more and more worried, "If you can save a little bit, it's a little bit, otherwise it will be difficult to pass the re-apply budget."

Their film is obviously not making money, so it is really difficult to increase the budget.

Seeing that Fan Chu had completely given up the idea of ​​using liquor for filming, Zheng Wushu also felt a lot more relaxed.

Although Yang Li can drink, drinking too much is not good for his health after all.

This kind of wine that is not necessary to drink, drink less if you can.

Yang Li was ready to go out and buy anti-alcohol medicine, but director Fan Chu said to use mineral water instead, so he didn't need to drink.Why are you so confused?

Director Fan Chu is already in his 60s and [-]s, how can he talk like a child?That's what he suggested before.

Yang Li scratched his hair and heaved a sigh of relief.

Anyway, he doesn't care whether he drinks or not, as long as Mr. Zheng and him can appear on the same screen at that time.

Hey.

Speaking of which, this is the first time he and Teacher Zheng have appeared together in a movie, and it is worth remembering!

The filming of "Half a Century" was in full swing, and the crew would release some material from time to time, but the enthusiasm was maintained.

In comparison, the situation in the Li family is more serious.

The wall fell and everyone pushed.

It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business.

Zheng Wushu originally thought that he needed to do something in the crew of "Half a Century" to protect Yang Li, but later found out that he was overthinking, and the Li family is still too busy to take care of themselves.

One of their largest subsidiaries has become insolvent and needs to file for bankruptcy, and some other more profitable sectors have been almost completely split.

The people in the Li family business were in full swing, and the private affairs outside were not handled well. The combination of this series of incidents almost completely made the shareholders lose confidence.

However, in just a few days, the Li family has been on the headlines of the economic sector several times in a row because of the sharp decline in assets. Almost everyone is guessing whether this once huge industry in Hong Kong's entertainment industry will survive the impact of the new wave. Will it close down?

Naturally, this kind of influence was directly reflected on Li Jiyang's body.

Originally, Li Jiyang's team had already started contacting a certain first-line TV station, and Li Jiyang would become a resident guest of their ace variety show. Originally, they had already started to go through the contract process, but after the Li family's accident, this matter will be held indefinitely delayed.

Because the heavyweight advertiser of this TV station is capital from Hong Kong.With the Li family down, they were naturally unwilling to push another Li Jiyang to the top. It would be more cost-effective to use such resources to push other artists.

Similarly, Li Jiyang's film and television resources in other areas are also rapidly decreasing.

When Li Jiyang came back from Malaysia, he originally wanted to work hard to make further progress, but now he couldn't even keep what he had.

Without the capital to push behind, just the data made by the fans can be quickly seen to be false.

As one of the top traffic, if there are no impressive results in various statistics, can it still be called traffic?

After this period of "dispute for traffic", the market has already begun to become more rational, and it no longer blindly looks at the data, but starts from the talents of the artists themselves.Li Jiyang is difficult to compare with Pei Ronglin Yueqiu and others in these aspects. If the data drops further, the name of this top traffic will not be worthy of the name.

"How could it be so fast?" Li Jiyang had thought about the worst possibility, but in his prediction, it would take a year or two at least for such a situation to happen.

Let alone a year or two now, half a year has not arrived yet.

"Everyone wants to go to the mainland to develop, and the Hong Kong market is hard to make any big changes." The eldest brother of the Li family rubbed his forehead, feeling very depressed, "This is especially true in the entertainment industry. Now many entertainment companies are starting to push newcomers. Going to the mainland to participate in various drafts, even one out of a hundred people will make a profit. Under such circumstances, how can they expect us to be the same as before?"

Money in the entertainment industry is not that hard to earn, as long as you get the hang of it, even if you copy it as it is, you can make a lot of quick money.

Li Jiyang is indeed the most popular young artist in Hong Kong in mainland China, but so what?

There is no shortage of people to support capital.

"In the next few years, the family may not be able to help you anymore." The elder brother looked much older. "At present, if you want to maintain the popularity, you may need to follow the route of hype."

As for the hype route, there are only a few routes back and forth.

Either crazy marketing and then whitewashing, or hyping up the relationship to reap the dividends, there is always one that is right.

"No, in this case, I will definitely be excluded from the list of traffic artists, and my worth will also..."

"There is another way. You should calm down now, hone your acting skills, win a few more awards, and work hard with your strength. Do you want to choose music or acting?"

Li Jiyang hesitated.

"In terms of acting, there are far too many people better than you. Pei Rong, Lin Yueqiu, and Yang Li are all taking this route, which is relatively the safest and easiest to gain recognition from inside and outside the industry. If you take music, You and Rong Zaiqing are probably going to face each other, but your appearance is completely different, and your music line may not collide."

It's just that the decline of the music scene and the rise of various short videos have greatly reduced the possibility of becoming popular with songs.

Nowadays, the only ones who can afford large-scale concerts are the seniors who have fought hard in the music world.For singers in the new era, it is considered great to be able to hold a few concerts, and a national tour is almost an impossible wish to realize.

Although Li Jiyang hesitated, he still responded to his elder brother's words.

In fact, they all knew which path Li Jiyang should choose.

Give up being an actor, and focus on variety shows and songs, and then maintain the popularity through hype.If he's lucky, he can still be popular for a few more years, but it's impossible to be as good as he is now.

In other words, the gap with Pei Rong and the others will also widen, and there is almost no way to compete on the same stage together.

Who makes it the film and television industry that is quick to make money and easy to praise?How many celebrities are there in the film and television industry in a year, and how many are there in the music world?

I only saw singers running to act in TV dramas and movies, and how many actors came to release records?Most of the actors, at most, just sing songs on variety shows.

The general trend.

Which aspect of the entertainment industry capital favors more depends on where everyone is going.

"I choose music." Li Jiyang didn't think too much, and finally made his own decision.

He had no other choice.

It's better to face one Rong Zaiqing than to face several people in a row.

It's just that Li Jiyang was still a little unwilling.

When "Half Century" didn't start filming, he was still thinking about how to get Yang Li to go back, but before "Half Century" was finished, he needed to give up what he currently had.

The entertainment industry is so cruel.

As long as a popular artist fails to take a step, he will immediately fall.

After falling, how difficult is it to get back up?

Yang Li's role in "Half a Century" is almost finished.

After counting, except for the scene that is about to be filmed with Zheng Wushu, he only needs to stay on the set for two or three days.

As for the supporting role, it was supposed to end so quickly.

If Yang Li didn't want to learn more in the crew, he only needed to come when he started filming, and the time could be cut in half if he didn't say anything.

Yang Li's fans are already starving.

As soon as Xiao Lili went out to film, there was no news for several months, so they could buy magazines or check the number of views of Yang Li's previous works, or go to Xiao Yang's tavern to grab drinks and buy them. made.

Alas, Hong Kong is far away, and the crew of "Half a Century" has done a good job of keeping secrets. It is difficult to watch more Reuters.

Now, after learning from the agent that Yang Li will be back soon, the fans are as happy as the Chinese New Year, and they almost bought a banner to welcome Yang Li back home.

Zhou Cheng also took over a bunch of jobs for Yang Li by the way.

The salary of "Half Century" is equal to no, if Yang Li doesn't open, his agent will almost have nothing to eat.

When Yang Li thought of his upcoming jobs, he felt even more reluctant.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

After filming in the afternoon, Yang Li waited silently for his dinner while carefully peeking at Zheng Wushu.

Zheng Wushu seldom chatted with Yang Li on the set, and they met with a business-like attitude, which made Yang Li feel a little unhappy.

But if you are not happy, you are not happy, Yang Li also knows that such an attitude is the best.

Fortunately, although Mr. Zheng is polite to himself, he is even more polite to others.

People are compared with each other.

With the comparison of others, Yang Li felt that Zheng Wushu treated him very differently.

But it seems a bit strange today, the number of people chatting with Mr. Zheng is obviously more than before, and many of them are people he doesn't know!

Damn, who are these people?

Yang Li silently bit her finger, that woman's breasts were almost attached to Teacher Zheng, and that man's smile was so flattering...

He also wants to stick to it!

Yang Li hated himself for worrying so much, if he could think less, he would be able to step forward and tear those people apart now!

To treat such a person is to be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves!

"Yang Li, you're almost finished."

When Yang Li was roaring in his heart, Xiao Xuan suddenly took the initiative to speak up.

Xiao Xuan can also be regarded as a first-line artist in Hong Kong. She is currently 33 years old. She is neither married nor has a boyfriend. She looks very chic and generous.

In the movie, Xiao Xuan also plays a character who doesn't have many roles but has a brilliant character.

It can be said that there are only so many good female characters in the whole movie, and the role that Li Tianhou got may not be as good as Xiao Xuan.

At least Li Tianhou's role needs to be supported by acting skills, and Xiao Xuan's role has its own shining points, even if it is not successful, it is still very popular.

From this, we can understand how powerful Xiao Xuan is.

Yang Li didn't dare to deal with such a person casually.

Xiao Xuan had never had an affair with anyone, but Yang Li learned about Xiao Xuan's relationship with a certain boss from Zhou Cheng.

This kind of thing is what you love and what you want in the entertainment industry, everyone knows it well.

The boss's backstage seems to be a bit big, and Xiao Xuan herself no longer competes with the newcomers for the limelight, so the Hong Kong media are very generous and don't bother her private life much.

It's just that Yang Li has heard about Xiao Xuan's amazing deeds.In recent years, there have been many well-informed little flowers who are jealous of Xiao Xuan's backstage resources, and they have made a lot of efforts to grab them.

These florets who tried to snatch them all disappeared now. One of them was tricked into making a tertiary film, and a few of them were directly withdrawn from the circle because of the Hong Kong media's report.

This method is not available to ordinary people.

It seems that the boss is already discussing the divorce with his wife, maybe when Xiao Xuan will turn into the wife of the boss.

Although it is said that nowadays young female celebrities rarely marry rich people, but if the rich are really rich and powerful, there will definitely be a lot of people rushing to them.

For this kind of powerful female star, Yang Li has always been based on the idea that if he can not offend, he will not offend, he dare not get too close or too far away, and he is very considerate in etiquette and so on.

Xiao Xuan does not need to participate in sports fellowship, and I am relatively solitary, and my relationship with Yang Li has always been nodding acquaintances, and I seldom talk alone. Be vigilant.

"Yes, sister Xuan, what's the matter?" Yang Li had various thoughts in his mind, but he still kept the same smile on his face as before.

"It's nothing serious." Xiao Xuan brushed her hair casually, "I'm going to celebrate my birthday recently, and I haven't had any contact with friends in the circle for a long time, so I just take this opportunity to reunite with my friends and think about it. Ask if you have time."

"Sister Xuan's birthday, I definitely have time." Yang Li smiled all over his face, "I just don't know what Sister Xuan likes, so I can prepare birthday presents."

"I can give you anything, as long as you arrive." Xiao Xuan gave Yang Li a smile, "Don't worry, it's a good thing, don't be nervous."

No, how could you not be nervous?

Yang Li was almost dying of nervousness now.

He didn't understand why Xiao Xuan came to look for him all of a sudden, and he didn't understand what happened to this birthday, whether it was a Hongmen banquet or something else, it had no beginning or end, and he couldn't guess it.

It's a pity that Xiao Xuan didn't want to continue talking, and changed the subject as soon as he informed Yang Li, and Yang Li could only follow along with the chat.

After finally going back, Yang Li couldn't help but take the initiative to invite Zheng Wushu back to the hotel together, and only then confided everything that happened.

"Xiao Xuan's meaning largely represents the meaning of the person behind her." Zheng Wushu reassured Yang Li, "Don't worry, I will go with you when the time comes."
