Dreams of the Fragrant River

: Eighteen [“Shanghai Beach” Script]

The night after the move, Kang Jianfei went upstairs with the script of “SH Beach” after dinner. Upstairs is the home of TVB ace producer Wang Tianlin.

After ringing the doorbell, not long after, a beautiful woman with a white handkerchief and a slightly plump figure opened the door and asked, “Who are you looking for?”

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, “Hello, I’m looking for Wang Tianlin to supervise the production.”

The woman said, “My father-in-law is not at home, come back later.”

Father-in-law? Isn’t this woman the wife of Wang Jing, the director of a bad movie?

Kang Jianfei said, “I am also an employee of TVB. Uncle Tianlin told me to come to him after writing the script. Since he is not here, why don’t I wait for him here.”

Kang Jianfei stood motionless at the door of someone else’s house, as if he would not leave if Wang Tianlin didn’t come back. Wang Jing’s wife was too embarrassed to close the door to keep people out, so she could only say helplessly, “Why don’t you come in and wait for him. Father-in-law will be back in an hour or two.”

“Thank you.” Kang Jianfei smiled brightly at her, not treating himself as an outsider at all, and went straight into the house.

As soon as he bought the living room, Kang Jianfei couldn’t help laughing at the scene in front of him. I saw Fatty Wang Jing lying on the sofa with a baby in his arms. While feeding the baby with a feeding bottle, Wang Jing stared at a newspaper spread out on his lap with relish.

It turns out that Wang Jing was also a grandma…

When Fatty Wang heard footsteps, he looked up at a man who came in and couldn’t help asking, “Hello, may I ask who you are?”

Seeing that he was busy and it was inconvenient to shake hands, Kang Jianfei nodded to Wang Jing and said, “Hello, I’m Kang Jianfei. I’m looking for Uncle Tianlin for some work.”

“Kang Jianfei?” When Wang Jing heard the name, he almost stood up, making the baby in his arms cry.

Kang Jianfei’s name has spread throughout Hong Kong since yesterday’s Oriental Daily reported that Kang Jianfei’s manuscript fee was 500 yuan per thousand words.

Most of the newspapers abused and attacked Kang Jianfei. Especially after the news of Kang Jianfei’s exclusive contribution to the “Oriental Daily” came out, other newspapers and magazines scolded him even more fiercely and even more recklessly. Basically, they are criticizing “Xun Qin Ji” for being vulgar and vulgar, not worthy of so much royalties, and also scolding “Oriental Daily” for breaking the rules of the press for sales, etc.,

But the scolding is scolding, except for a few Taoist guards, ordinary Hong Kong citizens can only envy Kang Jianfei. There are also many mainland tourists who have smuggled into Hong Kong but have not been able to make a fortune, and have already regarded Kang Jianfei as an idol of Ni Jiao’s level.

Wang Jing is a top student in the Chinese Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Now his job is a screenwriter, and he is also a fan of martial arts novels. Since the first day of the serialization of “Looking for Qin Ji”, he has read it all chapter by chapter, and is even more curious about the author of the novel.

Greeting his wife to take his daughter away, Wang Jingcai freed up his hand to shake Kang Jianfei’s hand, and said with a smile: “I have been looking forward to it for a long time, my name is Wang Jing, and I am reading the book “Looking for Qin” written by you.”

Kang Jianfei glanced at the newspaper on the sofa, and it turned out to be “Oriental Daily”. He also complimented each other, “I have long admired the screenwriter Wang, but I never had the chance to know each other.”

Wang Jing has directed a TV series at this time, and his main job is to be a screenwriter. For example, “Chu Liuxiang” just finished airing on TVB, Wang Jing is one of the screenwriters. This guy’s screenwriting ability is actually far stronger than his directing ability. Like his independent screenwriter “Rogue Tycoon” two years later, it is definitely a classic of a generation.

Since the two of them touted each other and showed mutual sympathy, the chat that followed was very harmonious.

During the chat, Kang Jianfei had a general idea of the current situation of Wang Jing. His wife’s name is Huang Yumei. Last year, this guy had a big belly and had to marry her. Right now Huang Yumei is confinement, and Wang Jing is also writing scripts at home while taking care of his wife and daughter.

After talking nonsense for half an hour, Wang Jingcai finally asked, “Is there something wrong with Ah Fei looking for my old bean? There is something in the stage today, and he may come back later.”

Kang Jianfei took out the script for “SH Beach” and said, “This is the script I just wrote, and I’m going to show it to Uncle Tianlin.”

“Do you mind if I take a look?” Wang Jing was really curious about what kind of script Kang Jianfei would write.

Kang Jianfei handed over the script and said, “Whatever.”

Wang Jing’s literary skills are very profound. When he saw Kang Jianfei’s super bad handwriting, he frowned and couldn’t bear to see it. Fortunately, writing a script is not like writing a novel as a test of the author’s writing style. In addition, Kang Jianfei is also the author of “Looking for Qin Ji”, so Wang Jing endured the discomfort and continued reading.

After watching only half of the episode, Wang Jing constantly transformed the plot into TV pictures in his mind, and then couldn’t wait to scroll down. I only saw episode 6, and Wang Tianlin, who was a lap fatter than Wang Jing, came back from get off work.

“Hey, Ah Fei, why are you here?” Wang Tianlin was quite surprised when he saw Kang Jianfei.

At the beginning, after Kang Jianfei refused to accept Wang Tianlin’s invitation and refused to join TVB as a contract actor, Wang Tianlin was actually quite dissatisfied with Kang Jianfei, thinking that this young man was ignorant and wasting his good intentions.

However, within a few days, “Looking for Qin Ji” caused a sensation in Hong Kong, and the author’s signature was Kang Jianfei. It was confirmed by Wu Chenggang that he was Kang Jianfei, and after this Kang Jianfei, Wang Tianlin’s negative impression of Kang Jianfei disappeared immediately – it turned out that people refused to join TVB as an actor, not because they didn’t know how to praise him, but because they were confident that they could get along better.

Wang Tianlin came to Hong Kong with his elders in the 1940s, and worked as a printing, recording, recording, and assistant director. In 1950, he officially became a director and made movies. In terms of director qualifications, he is even deeper than Li Hanxiang, Hu Jinquan and others, and is definitely a senior figure in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

After working in Hong Kong for decades, Wang Tianlin was the first to meet such a unique person as Kang Jianfei. After Ni Jiao came to Hong Kong, he also worked in the factory for a few years, and then with the help and encouragement of Jin Yong, he slowly Fame. And Kang Jianfei, came to Hong Kong only a month and broke into a big name, making countless Hong Kong writers blush ashamed.

At this time, Wang Tianlin had already regarded Kang Jianfei as a strange man, and he was quite curious and surprised when he saw him suddenly come to his house as a guest.

Kang Jianfei didn’t dare to show it in front of Wang Tianlin, so he stood up and said, “Didn’t Uncle Tianlin say that day, I can show you the script after I’ve written it? The script has already been written.”

Wang Tianlin said so casually at the time, who knew that Kang Jianfei took it seriously, and said in surprise, “Have you written the script?”

Wang Jing, who had been reading the script, raised his head and said to Wang Tianlin, “Dad, A Fei’s script is amazing, and it will definitely have a super high ratings if it is filmed.”

Wang Tianlin believes in his son’s ability to appreciate scripts, because Wang Jing is a screenwriter himself, and he has written many high-rated dramas.

Half a month ago, if Kang Jianfei had come up with a script to show Wang Tianlin, he would have been too lazy to take a look. But now, Kang Jianfei still has the halo of the highest paid writer in Hong Kong on his head, plus his son also praised it, Wang Tianlin couldn’t wait to take the script and read it.

After watching only 3 episodes, Wang Tianlin put down the script and asked Kang Jianfei solemnly, “A Fei, what are you going to do with this script?”

Kang Jianfei asked back, “If you sell “SH Beach” to TVB, how much will it sell for?”

“This…” Wang Tianlin was a little uncertain.

Before Kang Jianfei became famous, for a script written by a newcomer, the TVB would have asked for 10,000 yuan; if the script was really good, it would have been 30,000 yuan.

But now it’s different. Kang Jianfei is the highest paid writer in Hong Kong alongside Ni Jiao. The price is 30,000 yuan. Not to mention whether Kang Jianfei will agree or not, Wang Tianlin himself has no face to say that. And if the price is too high, Wang Tianlin can’t get the approval of the TV station, because the TVB station is very heavy on the production cost of the TV series.

Seeing Wang Tianlin hesitate to speak, Kang Jianfei said first, “How about 100,000 yuan?”

“No, it’s too expensive.” Wang Tianlin shook his head repeatedly. In today’s Hong Kong film and television industry, 300,000 to 500,000 yuan can make a low-cost movie, and 100,000 yuan to buy a script for a TV series is too expensive.

Kang Jianfei asked, “How much did Uncle Lin think was appropriate that day?”

Wang Tianlin thought for a while and said, “The maximum is 50,000 yuan. If the price is higher, I have to ask the desk to make the decision.”

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, “Five thousand is fine, but I have three requirements.”

Looking at his expression, Wang Tianlin knew that this kid only planned to sell 50,000 yuan, and it was just a huge asking price. However, Wang Tianlin was very curious about what requirements Kang Jianfei would make, and said, “What are the requirements, you can talk about it first.”

Kang Jianfei said: “First, I will choose the leading role.”

Wang Tianlin frowned, Kang Jianfei’s request made him a little dissatisfied – what do you, a screenwriter’s meddling actor, do?

“Who do you think will play the male and female lead?” Wang Tianlin asked tentatively. He has already decided in his heart that if Kang Jianfei wants his friend to be the starring role, he firmly disagrees, and the big deal is not to make this TV series.

Kang Jianfei said: “The male lead Xu Wenqiang, I recommend Zhou Runfa to play; the female lead Feng Chengcheng, I recommend Zhao Yazhi to play; the second male lead, Ding Li, I recommend Lu Liangwei to play. In addition, just give Hu Juncai, Tang Zhenye and Huang Minyi a few. Just a small supporting role.”

Wang Tianlin thought that Kang Jianfei would let his friend play the leading role, but he did not expect to play a few minor supporting roles. As for Zhou Runfa and Feng Chengcheng, Wang Tianlin thought about it and thought it was quite suitable, so he agreed.

But, who is that Lu Liangwei?

Wang Tianlin scratched his head and said, “Ding Li’s role is very important, where do you think that Lu Liangwei is an actor?”

Kang Jianfei said: “I don’t know either. Isn’t TVB broadcasting “The Man in the Net” during this time? Lu Liangwei played a supporting role in “The Man in the Net”. I think his image is very suitable for playing Ding Li.”

Wang Tianlin nodded and said, “I agree to this request, what about the second request?”

Kang Jianfei said, “The second requirement is to have my cousin Wu Chenggang be the lighting engineer for “SH Beach”.”

Wang Tianlin was taken aback for a while, but he didn’t expect this request to be so simple. Wu Chenggang’s lighting skills are already good, and letting him be a lighting engineer is just a matter of Wang Tianlin’s words. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Seeing Wang Tianlin agree, Kang Jianfei added, “The third requirement is that I want to be the assistant director of SH Beach.”

“Pfft!” As soon as these words came out, Wang Jing, who was drinking water next to him, sprayed it out.

Although the assistant director is known as the director’s assistant, it is actually the most thankless job for the entire crew!

Assistant choreographer belongs to the most basic position in the production department. He has a low status but a heavy workload. Internally, he needs to communicate with the props, costumes and drama affairs departments, and externally, he needs to find on-site control, such as interception of cars and people.

All the filming process is the responsibility of the assistant director, ranging from coordinating the time with the actors to the use of a tissue, the assistant director must also make arrangements in advance, and the slightest mistake will be the object of scolding.

To put it simply, an assistant director can be described in twelve words: low status, heavy work, disgusting, and low salary.

Generally speaking, people who are not particularly persevering will not be able to stand in this position for a month.

Wang Tianlin asked in astonishment: “Why do you want to be an assistant director? It’s a tiring job, and you need to be experienced.”
