Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 8

New week.

Luo Shaotang went out early and will formally join TVB today as assistant to the music director.

Luo Junyan was scolded by Luo Meizi after he woke up, but they all dealt with it with a smile on his face. His mentality is better than before. Once he enters the set, he is all kinds of help. Even the costumes of the actors and actresses in charge of the costume team are ironed out by him.

Through observations over a period of time, Luo Junyan concluded that A sister is special in several aspects.

First of all, Sister A has a strong desire for control. She kept the habit of taking notes. Although Luo Junyan could not see what she had written, she would look at the notebook from time to time whenever she pointed out various problems on the spot. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. The details that people can’t remember are all replayed in a reduced way, and it will be suspected of being faulty. When discussing issues, she still has to use it as an argument to support her argument, and she has to refute you to be speechless, which is difficult.

Secondly, Luo Junyan felt that Sister A had some perfectionist tendencies. She was picky about costumes, makeup, lines and even her position. Luo Junyan confirmed that she was not paranoid and stubborn, but unconsciously approached the beauty in her mind and stayed away from the ugliness in her mind. During this adjustment of beauty and ugliness, her mood would also undergo see-saw-like changes.

Luo Junyan couldn’t say this was a hobby, but he thought clearly in his heart. Once you have a chance to get along with Sister A, you absolutely cannot surrender to her without thinking about it. You have to give her the opportunity to dispatch troops. The harder the victory comes, the stronger her pleasure. In addition, try to become the beauty in her mind, not to cater to others but to sculpt yourself. As long as you can do it, she will unconsciously like to be close to you.

Therefore, Luo Junyan’s daily life is more fulfilling.

When A sister is standing, how far is the distance? When A sister is sitting, how far is the distance. At all angles of Sister A’s line of sight, how the head is slightly sideways, and how the smile changes. How to adjust the size of the step, the position of the hands, and the focus of the eyes when meeting Sister A frontally, sideways, cornering and following behind. When there are lines, cough and cough, what kind of tone, intonation, and speed Sister adopts when she occasionally asks questions, so as to show her mood at the time.

Soon after, everyone on the Qingshuiwan studio knew that pretty girls were looking in the mirror more and more. Therefore, in the age when gossip prevailed, in order to try to figure out the changes in his heart, he unexpectedly set off a small climax of introducing the role of the dragon set, Luo Junyan was about to become the eighth supporting role in the “Legend of Chu Liuxiang”.

While Luo Junyan was busy, Brother Cheng was not idle either. As Luo Junyan’s agent, he formally met with Huang Jiadong, a reporter from the entertainment edition of Tiantian Daily.

The two exchanged polite greetings first, and the most satisfying thing about Brother Cheng is that Huang Jiadong can also speak Mandarin.

Brother Cheng first inquired about Huang Jiadong’s family members euphemistically, and paid particular attention to whether relatives formed a rock band. Huang Jiadong denied it, and immediately expressed his keen interest in the martial arts status of Brother Cheng, whose full name is Ye Gucheng.

When the two talked to the subject, Huang Jiadong was embarrassed.

“Brother Cheng, you are really embarrassing me.”

Brother Cheng said: “Adong, when Ajun accepted your interview, he was under a lot of pressure. He is not yet 17 years old. As long as the article is published, you will win both fame and fortune, but TVB is not satisfied. Xiangjiang’s banned him? In this situation, Ah Jun did not forget to send you the news, what a kind child. A Dong, intellectuals must have backbone and responsibility, and social progress is counting on you.”

Huang Jiadong frowned and said, “Brother Cheng, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but I don’t have the right. If A Jun’s record is really good, I can at best help him publish a report. Free advertising is absolutely impossible. “

Brother Cheng glanced at him with little eyes, thought for a while, and said, “You leave me a page on the front page. I have a way to sell the newspaper in that issue, how about it?”

Huang Jiadong said: “Brother Cheng, don’t be kidding, I will give you a whole page, or the front page, the editor will definitely not agree. However, what is the method, let’s listen to it first.”

Brother Cheng leaned on the back of the chair, propped up the table with both hands, with an imposing manner. Said: “Adong, you can go back and discuss with your editor-in-chief. This time it is done. You can get a lot of promotion and salary increase. By the way, how many copies can you sell in the first issue?”

Huang Jiadong saw that he was serious, and he hesitated and said, “Is less than 110,000 copies.”

Brother Cheng got up and said loudly, “I’ll guarantee you 150,000 copies, see you later.” Then he stepped back without taking away a trace of cloud, and if he carried a sword on his back, it would be more like Ye Gucheng.

Huang Jiadong watched him leave blankly, seeming to be witnessing a legend, a legendary ecstasy.

It’s time for the master and apprentice to conspire in the evening.

Brother Cheng first introduced the situation, and then asked: “A Jun, do you remember that 1 million?”

Luo Junyan said: “Of course. Master, I am very hardworking now. The seniors on the set also take good care of me. You can earn more than 2,000 yuan from running a dragon set for a month. You have seen it, I am not the one who pays for every supper. “

Brother Cheng said, “Have you heard about Jackie Chan?”

Luo Junyan nodded and said: “I heard that Brother Qiu and A sister talked about it. It’s really amazing. Shaw gave a remuneration of 5 million for a film. He didn’t have a file. Instead, he signed to Jiahe, saying it was a film. The salary is only 4.2 million. Master, why does he choose low and not high? Instead, I will definitely sign for Shaw Brothers.”

Brother Cheng said with an expression that hates iron and steel, and said: “People value the future, the future. You can’t understand this for the time being, so I won’t start it. I want to ask you, where are you worse than Jackie Chan?”

Luo Junyan thought for a while, and said uncertainly: “Jackie Chan will know Kung Fu, I won’t?”

Brother Cheng clicked on him and said, “You have to look at the essence through the phenomenon, what’s the difference in the spiritual level?”

Luo Junyan said: “The spiritual level? I haven’t seen Jackie Chan. I don’t know how he is in spirit.”

Brother Cheng felt that speaking was really strenuous, and said directly: “People are willing to shoot even their lives, and it doesn’t matter if they break their arms or legs, can you?”

Luo Junyan lost his temper and remained silent.

Brother Cheng continued: “Our record will be released soon, and the situation is not very optimistic. Do you dare to work hard this time?”

Luo Junyan said: “Master, what do you say I will do? As long as I can make money this time, I will fight for it.”

Brother Cheng stretched out his thumb and said, “Okay. Since you have this determination, then I will explain the preparations. First, the clothing, which needs to be customized. Second, the photographer. I have all this relationship in the mainland and I need you. Find someone on your own. Don’t look for someone who can only take big head shots just to save money. In fact, it’s best to have an art director and look at fate. In addition, pay close attention to the record store. I will contact the video store where you are going to make a plan for you. A live promotion plan. After the record goes on sale, you have to go from house to house non-stop, and you have to slow down first.”

Luo Junyan thought for a while and asked: “Master, what about the newspaper propaganda?”

Brother Cheng said: “You only need to follow the command in all your actions, and the newspaper propaganda does not need you to consider.” Without waiting for Luo Junyan to ask more, he directly toasted and said: “A Jun, we wish the record sales in advance.”

Luo Junyan always felt that Cheng Cheng was a bit overconfident, so he didn’t think much about it after drinking.

In the following days, Luo Junyan and Brother Cheng started to use their horsepower at the same time.

Recording records, first made 1,000 copies. The measuring ruler is making clothes, and the design drawings are all Cheng Ge’s staff. Contact various audio-visual stores to apply for on-site promotion. Most audio-visual stores don’t know what’s useful, but they also agreed to try. The photographer was looking for Brother Xun, a camera assistant from TVB. He was very righteous, and Luo Junyan often helped carry things and couldn’t get rid of favors. The shooting location was set on the set, and Luo Junyan bribed a few packs of cigarettes. People thought it was just a few photos, and he was an acquaintance, so he acquiesced in taking photos.

The clothes were ready in less than a week. Brother Cheng didn’t let him go to the store to try it, and took the initiative to get it home.

In the evening at Brother Cheng’s apartment, Luo Junyan finally knew why Brother Cheng asked if he dared to work hard this time. A windbreaker, a suit with a top hat and a white scarf, there are actually two cheongsams. Brother Cheng’s move to fly away from the sky, cleanly thrown out Luo Junyan as a fairy.

The two sat opposite each other, and Brother Cheng said, “If you want Jackie Chan, you will work hard and consider it yourself. I have spent all the money. If you don’t want to do it, you can feed me and drink in the future. I will also help you understand the editor of the newspaper. But if the newspaper sold less than 150,000 copies in that issue, you will be in debt. You signed the contract two days before, and you should be clear about the content, and the amount of 50,000 yuan is not large.”

When Luo Junyan heard the debt of 50,000 yuan, he gritted his teeth and stood up and said, “Master, I will wash my clothes first and don’t get my clothes dirty. And what should I do with the top?” He gestured to his chest.

Brother Cheng relaxed and said, “Cotton has prepared everything for you a long time ago. I don’t believe it anymore. It’s hard to distinguish between male and female and one stop on the street, and there are fewer people watching and making noise.”

Luo Junyan nodded, looked at the dark night outside the window, resolutely returned to the toilet to take a shower.

Brother Cheng was still not confident, and didn’t have to squeeze into the street at all. The next day’s Qingshui Bay studio was full of viewers.

This is a building complex in the style of the Republic of China.

Luo Junyan was wearing a suit, a black top hat, and a snow-white scarf around his neck. He held a borrowed prop pistol and directly faced the camera. His other arm was hanging down, still dripping red dye, and of course he didn’t spend any money.

Luo Junyan’s figure and demeanor showed his strong support after being injured, but his eyes were shining, fierce and fierce.

Brother Xun squatted constantly changing angles, shouting: “Okay, hold on, lower your left shoulder, and raise your hand a little.” He was also in the state, and he didn’t expect the shooting to be very enjoyable.

At this time, A sister walked out of the crowd and said: “A Jun, are you trying to show a gunman who is dying to resist?”

Luo Junyan asked Brother Xun to rest for a while, then walked to Sister A to find a good distance, and said: “The screenwriter set me a patriotic student who joined the club. He just imagined that he was going to kill the boss himself. After the assassination was successful, he was besieged by those little brothers.”

A sister asked: “Which scene are you filming?”

Luo Junyan said: “Sister, I have recorded a single record, and then I want to take a promotional photo.”

Sister Sister obviously didn’t understand, and asked: “Can single records be released? And I have to take promotional photos, and there are screenwriters? Can you make money back?”

Luo Junyan smiled and said: “Everything will do his best, but by God’s will.”

A sister looked at him and said, “The feeling you gave me just now is like there is no bones. Although I was injured, the killer’s spirit should be tense at this time, but more arrogant than normal. “

Luo Junyan raised his head and thought for a moment, and said, “Sister, he has already shed a lot of blood. Of course he is weak. Only when his eyes don’t need physical strength can he be very fierce. And he just killed himself. Boss, you must be very guilty, and your actions will change.”

A sister said: “You said, he is a patriotic student and a person with firm beliefs. Would such a person be willing to be a young and Dangerous boy? Then he kills his own boss, and then he should be more accommodating. , His courage has gone to the next level, he has to fight out the world step by step.”

Luo Junyan thought, and then said: “Sister, I still can’t build a suitable image. Can you guide me to try? You don’t take many shots, so it won’t delay your time.”

Sister thought for a while, then glanced at him again, mainly because she usually has a good impression of him and is a newcomer who abides by the rules. So he said: “Let’s not take this as an example.”

Then it was different. A sister adjusts the lights, puts on makeup, and re-dos the makeup, which makes him look older. Then re-adjust the clothes, scarves and top hats to be more messy and natural.

The menswear photos went well, and one of the on-site guides was indeed different. Sister A also likes his styles very much. He positioned his image as romantic, passionate but restrained and dark. Sister found it very challenging to create a contrasting image.

“Why do you want to wear women’s clothing?” When Luo Junyan took out the cheongsam, A sister was taken aback.

Luo Junyan maintained his indifferent expression, and said: “Sister, I have always wanted to ask you for advice. After entering the camera, do I still need to be me? Can actors choose to play?”

Sister was silent, and then helped him put on female makeup seriously.

The first set is a plain cheongsam suitable for female students, wearing a wig with two braids, hanging down to the shoulders. Sister Zhi, who was also watching, specially put on two of her earrings for him.

The setting this time is the daughter of a big brother, a girl who admires patriotic students and knows well.

A sister helped him teach some girls’ little habits in body movements. Luo Junyan himself is very thin, and wearing a cheongsam is not cumbersome at all. After repeated trial shots and adjustments, I really have that kind of slim, gentle and soft feeling.

The onlookers were all dumbfounded. Sister Zhi looked fascinated and said, “What a pure girl.”

When I waited, I changed into the last adult female cheongsam with a stand-up collar, a light pink color, a shawl, and a wig. Every time Luo Junyan looked back, he turned his face in thought, staring and smiling, all kinds of images evoked applause.

When the last photo with tears in his eyes was taken, Luo Junyan bowed deeply to the onlookers in four directions. The audience suddenly fell silent.

A sister stared at him as if she was admiring a piece of art, and the whole morning felt very short.
