Stephen Chow wore a baseball cap and looked around, then lowered his head and walked into the Fenghuáng TV building, just like a thief, afraid of being recognized by an acquaintance.
Today is the first test of Feng Huáng Artist Training Class. If the first test is passed, the re-examination will be held next week.Only if you pass both exams can you pay the tuition fee and go to the training class to learn performance or behind-the-scenes production.
Stephen Chow entered the test-taking team with the registration form. After waiting for more than an hour, he finally arrived at the door of the performance room.
I heard someone shouting: No. 27, Yuan Danqiong... Where is Yuan Danqiong? It’s your turn!
Here comes!A short-haired beauty in front of Stephen Chow responded, took out a small mirror to repair the foundation, and then entered the performance room with her bag.
A registered person who had just finished the first trial walked out of it. When he walked past Stephen Chow, Stephen Chow took the initiative to say hello: Hello, brother, my name is Stephen Chow.
The applicant looked very handsome and looked a bit mixed-race.When Stephen Chow took the initiative to chat with him, he nodded and said: Hello, my name is Anthony Wong.
Stephen Chow asked in a low voice: Why do other people take two or three minutes to take the exam, but you only need half an hour alone?
Anthony Wong said in confusion: I don’t know Ah either.
Stephen Chow asked: What did the examiners take?
Anthony Wong replied: I just told me to walk, and I kept walking for half an hour.
walk?Stephen Chow opened his eyes wide.
Anthony Wong said: At first I told me to learn to walk by the elderly, then I learned to walk by the club boss, and then I learned to walk by the rich, fool, office workers, young and dandy, beggars, policemen, hawkers, drunkards, and gamblers who lost money.
oh.
Stephen Chow nodded, but secretly envious of Anthony Wong.
Judging from his experience in taking the wireless artist training class for two consecutive years, the more time the applicant takes during the exam, the higher the chance of being hired.
Because only the examiner is optimistic about the applicant, he is interested in spending a lot of time considering his talent or potential.
Stephen Chow was thinking in his mind how he would learn various walking postures if he was admitted to the exam.
The team behind suddenly became noisy. Stephen Chow looked back and saw that it was Kang Jianfei, the boss of Feng Huáng TV station, and the program director Madon Xiong, who came side by side.
Hello, Mr. Kang!
Mr. Kang.
Director Mai.
……
Kang Jianfei and McDonald's Earl all the way, and the enrollees of the training class greeted each other, and even a woman kept throwing her eyes at Kang Jianfei.
Stephen Chow watched the two big shots coming over, sweating in his palms, thinking hard to leave an impression in front of his boss, but he didn't know what method to take.
While hesitating, Kang Jianfei had already walked in front of Stephen Chow. Stephen Chow only dared to bow and greet him like others: Hello Mr. Kang, hello Director Mai.
Kang Jianfei was obviously stunned when he saw Stephen Chow.
Anthony Wong, who just passed by him, was born as a student of the ATV training class in parallel time and space, so Kang Jianfei was not surprised, but Stephen Chow should be on the wireless station this time.
Not bad, perform well!Kang Jianfei patted Stephen Chow on the shoulder and walked away with Xiaoxiao.
After Kang Jianfei and McDonald's Madon Hero left and entered another room, the enrollees lined up to meet Stephen Chow and asked: Do you know Ah with Mr. Kang?
May I have your name?
Man, go to the food stall together tonight.
……
Stephen Chow turned a deaf ear to the croaking sounds around him, and he was still in endless surprise. When Kang Jianfei patted his shoulder just now, Stephen Chow felt his bones lightening.
Although McDonald's words are very arduous when doing things, he is actually very meticulous in being able to become the program director of a TV station.
When I saw Kang Jianfei encouraging a signing person for no reason, I immediately tentatively said: There are many people who signed up this year, and it is thanks to Mr. Kang to attract so many people.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: It is the reputation of the TV station itself, but it has nothing to do with me.
The history of the Lishi training class is even longer than that of the wireless training class. McDonald himself is a talent trained by the Lishi training class.
Nowadays, among the TVB major actresses, Liza Wang, Li Siqi, Huang Shuyi and others actually graduated from the Lishi training class and later switched to the wireless station.
McDonald's face was striking: The young man just now had a good appearance.
Kang Jianfei knew what he was thinking and nodded: It's Ah, not bad.
McDonald immediately became careful and prepared to say hello to the person in charge of the first exam later and ask them to take care of it.
The matter about Stephen Chow was just mentioned casually, and McDonald's talked about the main business soon: The Kowloon Tong Police Station had already agreed to assist in the filming of "Senior Sister Tuo Gun".
Kang Jianfei asked: How is the casting going?
Madon Xiong said: It’s decided initially, I’m going to let Zheng Wenya play Zhu Sue.She is a Hong Kong lady with dignified and elegant manners, and is very suitable for playing a female policewoman.
Zheng Wenya was the Miss Hong Kong champion three years ago. She originally signed for the wireless station, but now she is a free agent.
Generally speaking, whether it is a Hong Kong Miss or a wireless training class, TVB will only sign two-year contracts with artists at the beginning.
If you perform well in these two years, you will sign an additional five, eight or ten-year contract; if you perform poorly within two years, the artist will become a handyman who plays a role.
Zheng Wenya signed a two-year contract at the beginning, but it did not go very smoothly afterwards.After the two-year contract expired, the TVB did not ask Zheng Wenya to renew the contract, so Zheng Wenya left TVB.
In the film "The Little Scary" directed by Eric Tsang last year, Zheng Wenya is one of the female leads. She also signed a major contract with Lishi and starred in two Lishi dramas.
Kang Jianfei’s understanding of Zheng Wenya does not come from her identity as a Hong Kong lady.
Instead, this woman has participated in the design of the Hong Kong Film Awards trophy in a parallel space. The Golden Horse Awards Goddess Trophy is created completely according to Zheng Wenya's body proportions.
I am going to make a series of "Senior Sister Tuo Gun" and it is probably inappropriate for Zheng Wenya to make a comeback.
Kang Jianfei said worriedly, if you talk to her again, you either ask her to sign a long-term contract or change to another actor to play the heroine.
OK, I'll communicate with her again, McDonald continued, As for the male lead Chen Xiaosheng, I'm going to let Wan Ziliang play it.
Kang Jianfei frowned and said: The character Chen Xiaosheng has an honest and loyal personality, and sometimes he is a little cunning and humorous. Is it appropriate for Wan Ziliang to act like a big brother?
McDonald was arbitrary in his work before, but now both of his protagonists were questioned by Kang Jianfei.If it were someone else, McDonald's Eagle would have turned against him.
But Kang Jianfei is the chief planner of "Senior Sister Tuo Gun". The creativity of the script was also written by Kang Jianfei, and Kang Jianfei is also his boss, which forced McDonald to bear it and explained patiently: Mr. Kang, you don't have to worry about this at all, Wan Ziliang is definitely competent.
Since McDonald's insistence on using Wan Ziliang, Kang Jianfei couldn't object anymore and said: OK, you are the producer and you are the manager.
McDonald continued: I originally wanted to use He Jiajin as the second male lead, but now I have to use Mo Shaocong.
He Jiajin has filmed many TV series in Lishi in the past two years and is considered the leader of Lishi. However, Kang Jianfei has decided to use He Jiajin to play Xiang Shaolong, so Madon Xiong can only bear the pain of giving up.
As for Mo Shaocong, this person joined Lishi two years ago and filmed a total of four TV series, which is slightly worse than Leslie Cheung.
McDonald said: As for the second female lead, I haven't made up my mind yet, so I arranged for today's audition.
Kang Jianfei pulled the chair over and sat down, and asked: Can the production cost of "Senior Sister Tuo Gun" be reduced?
McDonald's smiled bitterly and said: It was filmed like Mr. Kang's "Senior Sister Royal", which was a car crash and an explosion, so it was definitely impossible.Therefore, "Senior Sister Tuo Gun" can only try to make as many literary dramas as possible, and strive to keep the average cost per episode below 12,000.
Nowadays, the production of dramas by Hong Kong TV stations, taking costume films as an example, costs between 6,000 and 30,000 yuan per episode, but on average, the cost per episode is only about 8,000 yuan.
When filming TV series, actors are paid monthly wages, and labor costs are basically minimized.
Most of the production costs come from the film cost during shooting. If there is an occasional circus or outdoor scene, the cost will be greatly increased.
"Senior Sister Tuo Gun" is a fashion show, and there are often case handling scenes. The average cost per episode can be reduced to less than 12,000 yuan. It is already the limit. If you change someone to be a producer, it will be at least 15,000 yuan.
Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said: There are also necessary explosions, chases, and gun battle scenes, basically every seven or eight episodes to make the audience happy.This drama is the opening drama of Feng Huáng TV. It must be well produced. I allow your average cost per episode to reach 15,000.
The average production fee of 15,000 per episode is almost twice that of TVB dramas.
The effect of the shot is naturally different, but McDonald said hesitantly: Mr. Kang, if you over-production like this, it may not be good at profit data.
Kang Jianfei said firmly in this tone: My bottom line is to not lose money.Even if you lose a little, as long as you can get good ratings, it is worth it.In addition, this is a modern drama, including costumes, restaurants, cars, etc. You can ask the marketing department to attract sponsorship.As long as you don’t do too much in implanting advertisements, the audience will not be disgusted.
Nowadays, there are not many advertisements for Hong Kong movies, let alone TV series, which is not like watching movies and TV in later generations, just like watching advertising highlights.
McDonald's filming dramas is very good, but he is a little nervous about attracting sponsorships to enter advertisements.
He was thinking about where to install advertisements in the series. Xu Zihao, the assistant director of the drama "Senior Sister Tuo Gun", brought a few girls in and said: Mr. Kang, Director Mai, I brought people.
Today is the first test of Feng Huáng Artist Training Class. If the first test is passed, the re-examination will be held next week.Only if you pass both exams can you pay the tuition fee and go to the training class to learn performance or behind-the-scenes production.
Stephen Chow entered the test-taking team with the registration form. After waiting for more than an hour, he finally arrived at the door of the performance room.
