    ps: (I have been in the palace for a long time, and I have just left the palace now. I seem a little sorry to everyone~~~~~~) Recently, Huang Baiming has been troubled by the drama "If the Wine Is Sold for Nothing".  ?  New Art City¡¯s success is based on comedy, but as famous screenwriters, they all have a common problem, they like to look for breakthroughs.  Therefore, Huang Baiming really wanted to try to make a tragedy for New Art City.  The script was quickly produced, telling the story of a briber and an abandoned baby.  But when it came to tragic filming, Xinyi City had never done it before and no one was good at it. In addition, Mecca believed that these weeping movies would not be popular with the audience, so the filming plan had to be shelved.  It happened that the Taiwan branch of New Art City was about to start a play and sent a script to Huang Baiming for review.  The play is called "The Wrong Bus", which describes a group of people who took the wrong bus from Taipei to Kaohsiung, and a lot of nonsense happened in the car.  After reading the script, Huang Baiming found it boring and vetoed the filming of the drama.  As the director of Taiwan, Zhang Aijia originally felt embarrassed to be paid for not working. When she saw that the headquarters had vetoed the Taiwan branch's only film to be filmed this year, she suddenly became upset and thought to herself: This is a new art in Taiwan after all.  It's a branch in the city, why can't it even make the decision to start filming a movie?  Zhang Aijia immediately rushed from the Taiwan branch to Xinyi City's Hong Kong headquarters, blocked Huang Baiming's door, and said loudly: "The staff of "The Wrong Ride" have been hired, and director Yu Kanping is also preparing to bury his seat. Now the script has been rejected  What should I do? If you don¡¯t give me an explanation today, I won¡¯t be able to go back and explain. I don¡¯t care about doing this job. Anyone who wants it can take it!¡±  He is a person of temperament.  With a sense of masculine loyalty in her heart, she felt that a lot of people were just waiting for the show to start and they suddenly stopped filming if they didn't want to. This was irresponsible behavior.  When Huang Baiming found out that it was Zhang Aijia who had come to block the door, he felt a headache. He smiled dryly and said, "Those people in Taiwan will obey you and you won't be the director anymore. Aren't they going to rebel?" It's easy to talk, but Zhang Aijia is not someone who is easily fooled.  When someone is being sent away, she stands at the door like a doorkeeper.  She stared straight at Huang Baiming with her beautiful eyes, as if she would not leave until she gave him an explanation.  Huang Baiming explained sincerely: "The script you sent me was boring even after I read it. How can it impress the audience? If you have a good script, I will definitely support you!" Zhang Aijia was furious and heartbroken.  She said: "You are a famous screenwriter. How many scripts can you discern? This script is already quite good." But she didn't know how to speak for a while. She couldn't say it. Everyone was waiting to start.  Just make do with the movie and eat, let's just film it.  And Huang Baiming, who was worried about how to persuade Zhang Xiaomei, accidentally caught a glimpse of the script that he had shelved.  Immediately he had an idea and said, "How about you ask the director to film my story about buying Xin and abandoning the baby?" As he spoke.  He grabbed the script and handed it to Zhang Aijia.  "But the director wants to make a comedy film!" Zhang Aijia asked doubtfully. She turned over the script and knew that it was a tear-jerking film just by looking at the plot.  "Tell him to try to make a tragedy!" Huang Baiming said with a smile, with a confident look on his face that he believed I was right, "When has a script I written ever disappointed you? Listen to me and just make this!"  Zhang Aijia was doubtful and said: "Okay, let's listen to you. If there are any problems during the filming, I will ask you to solve it." Because Huang Baiming's Mandarin was not very good, Zhang Aijia found a young screenwriter from Taiwan.  The script was rewritten to suit Taiwanese style.  This script was originally written as an ethical tragedy, but it was changed by a Taiwanese screenwriter and changed beyond recognition, turning it into a patriotic political propaganda film.  When I sent it to Huang Baiming for inspection, he almost became so angry that he vomited blood.  Huang Baiming thought that young people were too passionate, so he found a mature and prudent screenwriter to rewrite the script. However, the script written by the old screenwriter had tons of dialogue and was very old-fashioned, like a radio drama.  The director was very dissatisfied after watching it, Zhang Aijia was also dissatisfied, and Huang Baiming was even more dissatisfied.  A long-distance call came from Zhang Aijia, giving Huang Baiming an "ultimatum": "The director and staff can't wait any longer. You can write it yourself!" Huang Baiming was dumbfounded. My Mandarin is not very good. How can I write dialogues? This is not rushing.  Is the duck on the shelves?  Taking on this hot potato, Huang Baiming had to bite the bullet and write. However, he was very smart and talented. By deleting and polishing the old screenwriter's script, he actually created a high-quality script within forty-eight hours.  .  It came and went, and it was March 1983 when this difficult Taiwanese drama was finally put on the schedule to start filming.  As the other two members of the New Art City's three giants, although Ma Jia and Shi Tian did not object to the Taiwan branch's trial shooting of this film, they did not take special care in terms of production funds., only 1 million Hong Kong dollars were approved to test the waters.  Don't think that one million Hong Kong dollars is a lot. In fact, it is the Taiwan branch's one-year filming expenses, which means it can be produced with a low cost.  The makeup and filming lasted for more than ten days, but Huang Baiming, the producer of the film, had to stop.  This film is a musical and dance film, which requires a lot of songs. The heroine Liu Ruiqi is not a singer, so she has to find a behind-the-scenes singer.  Director Yu Kanping accidentally saw a female singer singing English songs on the screen. Her singing skills were very good.  Director Yu decided to find her to sing behind the scenes.  However, at that time, no record company in Taiwan was willing to release a record for her, and even Hong Kong was not interested.  The reason is that she had released a record a few years ago, but it was unfortunately unsuccessful.  "At this point, we can only plan for the worst. How about changing the heroine? To someone who can sing." Zhang Aijia thought for a while and then suggested, "What do you think of Mei Yianfang and Ye Qianwen? I'll listen.  I have listened to their songs and their singing skills are very good. Or Lu Xiuling, but the salary is much higher. " Zhang Aijia is a very talented musician in her own right, and there is no doubt about her appreciation level.  Whether it is Mei Yanfang, Ye Qianwen, or Lu Xiuling, they are all in their prime, singing well, and Typhoon takes the path of innocence.  These three women can completely replace Liu Ruiqi in the role of Ami.  Who would have thought that as soon as Zhang Aijia finished speaking, Huang Baiming and Yu Kanping rejected them in unison: "No!" Huang Baiming said: "Mei Qianfang is too gorgeous, Ye Qianwen is too western, but Lu Xiuling's appearance is suitable, but her temperament is dignified and beautiful, and she is not as beautiful as the girl."  The sweetness and innocence of the young and beautiful protagonist are out of place. Besides, changing the heroine would require starting over and reshooting a lot of scenes. If I had to choose, I would prefer to use another behind-the-scenes singer.  "Yu Kanping suddenly became anxious and argued: "No! Only Su Ji can sing true feelings. Anyone can be replaced, but she cannot be replaced!" Faced with Yu Kanping's insistence, Huang Baiming and Zhang Aijia!  We were completely out of ideas. There was a collective silence for a while, but Zhang Aijia had more ideas. She then suggested: "How about we allocate NT$1 million from the production fee to record the record? I can find friends to compose the lyrics and music in it."  "Our Taiwan branch's annual budget is only one million Hong Kong dollars, which is already tight enough. If we squeeze some of it out to record records, wouldn't it mean that we have to cut corners during filming and post-production, and cut out as much as possible to save money? It's not worth the gain!" Huang Baiming  Although he likes to shoot low-budget movies and likes to keep track of the production budget, this does not mean that he can accept shoddy production.  Yu Kanping nodded and said: "Production funds have always been increased, there is no reason to delete them! In my opinion, you two should communicate with Hong Kong and see if you can increase the budget." Huang Baiming smiled bitterly, thinking  He thought: If I can find money from Hong Kong, there is no need to worry here!  In fact, the other two giants of Xinyi City, Mecca and Shi Tian, ??did not agree with the production of this drama. They just couldn't express their opposition openly and waited for Huang Baiming to fail at the box office and destroy his own golden brand.  However, this involves a power struggle within the company. Although Huang Baiming knows it well, he cannot make it known to the public. It is simply incomprehensible.  As a friend, Zhang Aijia saw Huang Baiming's difficulties and came up with a countermeasure to help him out: "Bai Ming, Kanping, I know a friend. His industry is preparing to do this. Maybe he can help." "  Do you still have friends like this? Why don't we make an appointment and get to know each other?" Huang Baiming was surprised. Zhang Aijia's circle of friends was basically his circle of friends. He knew who they were and what their industry was.  If it was just for recording records, Huang Baiming would not be short of money at all. Moreover, he likes to make friends and is very loyal, so there are many people willing to help him.  But this is not what Huang Baiming wants. He believes that making movies is like investing in a business. For this movie and this investment, recording records is an indispensable component.  What he is looking for is investment, not loyalty and help. What he is looking for is love and mutual benefit.  "If you don't mind, Aijia, can you tell me about your friend?" "Zhang Shaoping, you should have met him" "He?" Huang Baiming was quite surprised.  "Hey, from your tone, do you still have a friendship? That's easy to handle." "We had a chance encounter." Huang Baiming asked puzzledly, "But if I remember correctly, he  It should be in the clothing and catering industryOkay, I admit that his clothing company has provided a lot of clothing design to the entertainment industry, but it seems to be incomparable with recording records, right? ¡± Zhang Aijia?  He smiled and said, "You don't know this. He is running a video rental chain."The company needs large quantities of film source inventory.  Records are also a type of film source. I think he would be quite happy to ask him to record a record.  " Huang Baiming was speechless. Although the record and the video had the same title, the two were really different. Just like wild horses and seahorses, could they be the same species? " Zhang Aijia saw Huang Baiming's blank expression, and she said dissatisfiedly:  "Hey, what are you talking about? Are you going to find someone else?  "    "go!  Why not?  Even if Zhang Shaoping has no ideas, I am still capable of tricking him into coming up with ideas!  Huang Baiming stood up with a shrewd look on his face, "But before that, I need to find someone to help me blow my pillow."  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
