Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

Things worked out unexpectedly smoothly.

Charity has always been a social topic for a long time. This time, this topic is tied to popular traffic artists. The follow-up also involves eye-catching elements such as local government support for re-employment of laid-off people and left-behind children. Disaster.

Afterwards, Yang Li and the studio almost didn't need to take action to set the rhythm.

The marketing account and ordinary passers-by spontaneously participated in the topic discussion this time, but Yang Li, as the party involved in all this, disappeared, and the public seemed to focus on what is called charity.

Celebrities and rich people often attend various activities under the guise of charity, but in fact the effect of these charities does not seem to be so good. On the contrary, some celebrities participate in private charity activities are more effective.

In fact, every time a charity gala walks on the red carpet, the phenomenon that all kinds of male stars and female artists appear on the self-media platform have already made the public feel disgusted.

People care less and less about what celebrities are wearing at this event, and more about how much they donate.Sometimes people even find it strange that people who obviously donate a lot of money don't come out to activities, and those who don't donate money appear in the c position of charity activities in a dignified manner.

Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

The planners of these charity galas seem to have begun to notice the public's dissatisfaction with this point, and the donation quota table, which was not very publicized before, has also begun to be officially released to the public.

So it became clear whether these people who went to the event donated money or not, and how much they donated.

Fans often whitewash their idols, thinking that idols are willing to participate in such activities for publicity, which can already be called a charitable act, but obviously such remarks will only deepen the public's aversion to these artists.

In contrast, Yang Li didn't attend these events very often, and suffered a bit from the public opinion in the early stage. Now when all the photos are released, everyone feels a sense of surprise.

This is the attitude that people who truly do charity should have.

Yang Li and his family have solved the job problem for many poor people, and at the same time provided a different path and future for some children who have no survival skills. Even if the number is small at the beginning, it is enough to make the public feel warm.

Especially the customers of Xiao Yang's Tavern felt like they had been hit by a surprise.

It was already very cheap for them to buy this wine, but they didn't expect the people in the tavern to do so many good things quietly.

They can be regarded as helping others indirectly!

The follow-up matters were handled by the studio, and Yang Li was already on his way to Hong Kong.

The studio found something worth using from it, and contacted some local media that had good relations with the studio, and reported this matter from another angle.

For example, the online celebrity store business model of Xiaoyang Tavern can be jointly promoted with the people from the local poverty alleviation office.

Another example is that some fruits needed by taverns can be purchased directly from local fruit farmers, and villagers in some impoverished villages can start planting fruit trees to form a stable supply and demand relationship.In this way, the tavern no longer needs to purchase raw materials from other places, which can not only reduce costs, but also expand the scale of operation.

If it works properly, it might be able to improve the relationship between Yang Li and the government, which will be of great benefit to improving Yang Li's image.

The favorability of the local government staff towards Yang Li was soaring.

Originally, after the personal design of Yang Li's winemaking masters was confirmed, their local popularity was increased, and many tourists were willing to come to them one after another.Later, Xiao Yang Tavern revitalized many factories that were about to go bankrupt in the local area, and helped the people in the Poverty Alleviation Office solve many problems.The follow-up studio will invite media reporters to report, so it will be much easier for them to apply for some subsidies with the province in the future.

It just so happened that their province didn't seem to have an image ambassador yet, so Yang Li naturally became the number one candidate for an image ambassador after a series of measures.

Originally, such an image ambassador needs to be determined after multiple assessments, but Yang Li's situation is a bit special, so there is no need for so many procedures.

This is the so-called loss of a horse, knowing it is not a blessing.

"Zhou Cheng handles the affairs with the government very smoothly." Zheng Wushu followed the progress of the matter the whole time, and he also saw Zhou Cheng's way of handling the problem.

Although Zhou Cheng didn't have much experience as a manager, but as a social person, Zhou Cheng was very skilled.

However, the tacit cooperation and mutual trust between the agent and the artist is already better than anything else.As for the others, just learn slowly.

"If Xiaolili can have a good relationship with the government, it will be more convenient for the production of national-level TV dramas and movies in the future. This is a good thing that others can't ask for." Wang Chuhong is very satisfied with this status quo.

Yang Li is taking a completely different path from Zheng Wushu, and his path to the top has a certain degree of drama.For Yang Li, such a path also eliminates the possibility of someone copying the superior way.

One of the most annoying ways in the circle is nothing more than climbing up the road stepped on by the predecessors, turning around and stepping down the pioneers.

Just like when Zheng Wushu became popular back then, almost all of the models on the market were of the same type as Zheng Wushu, and some people tried to copy Zheng Wushu’s road to fame. .

"By the way, Wushang, if things fail this time, Li Jiyang might jump over the wall in a hurry. Hong Kong is Li Jiyang's old territory, so it really doesn't matter if you don't remind Yang Li?"

"Xiao Lili is not as stupid as you think, he should already know who did it, and he should take more precautions in the future." Zheng Wushu stood up with a smile, and rolled up his sleeves as if nothing had happened, "the director asked on WeChat Do I want to be a standout, I agree."

"Wait, when did you agree?" Wang Chuhong was taken aback. She was by Zheng Wushu's side and didn't even know that Zheng Wushu took over the job right under her nose?Isn't she a bit too non-existent as an agent!

"Just now." Zheng Wushu smiled harmlessly, "Please help me book a plane ticket and a hotel. This time I'm just going to show my face and go to Hong Kong to relax, so the itinerary will be kept secret for the time being. Yang Li also Don't talk about it now, lest he is under pressure and can't feel at ease filming, and the outside world is the same, so don't disclose any information for now."

huh huh?

Wang Chuhong digested Zheng Wushu's words, it seemed that he wanted to go secretly without telling Yang Li?

What kind of trick is this?Why do things that can be done aboveboard all of a sudden seem like they are about to be arrested?

Or maybe it was some kind of surprise.

I can't figure it out at all, so don't think about it.

Wang Chuhong couldn't see through Zheng Wushu's plan at all, and Zheng Wushu had no intention of saying anything at the moment.

He was just worried.

The entertainment circle on the mainland is relatively formal, and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television also has what it should have.

Hong Kong is different.

The entertainment industry in Hong Kong is controlled by a few groups of people, and some bad styles may have continued there.

Even if Yang Li is cautious, he may not be able to win much favor.

Of course, there is a great possibility that nothing will happen, it is nothing more than seeking peace of mind.

There is currently no movement on Li Jiyang's side.

Yang Li's counterattack came quickly and fiercely, and the rhythm was completely on the right track. If he continued to attack at this time, it would be particularly obvious.

Therefore, Li Jiyang could only hold back.

What is depressing is that the director of the orphanage quickly came back from other places, held a press conference again, and named the so-called little fresh meat.

It's an ordinary 18-line starlet, the kind who can't find him.

This is probably the most popular time for this little star.

Public opinion has completely reversed, unable to recover.

This can't be blamed on Li Jiyang's imprudence, who would even know who was recruited by the opponent's family when investigating the opponent?

Father Yang didn't say anything about his good deeds, so how could Li Jiyang, who was so far away, know clearly?

This time it can only be regarded as Yang Li's luck. Without the help of Yang Li's family, Yang Li would have to recite this pot for a while.

Li Jiyang was also severely criticized by his elder brother.

That media can be regarded as an important force for them in the mainland, but because of reporting this incident, they were targeted by the local government instead.

Originally, the government on the mainland had very strict control over these media, but now it's a lie that people don't use this vine to climb up.

"Don't worry about Yang Li's matter. It's better to be still than to move now. The more you do, the more mistakes you will make. Even if you leave it alone, there are many people who are jealous of Yang Li's resources. With such a large crew, Are you afraid that you won't find a place to start?"

Li Jiyang heard the implication of the elder brother's words.

It is indeed easier to do things in the crew than outside the crew.

Moreover, the whole team is a mixed bag, and no one will know about it if they do a little trickery.As long as there are no fatal accidents, the rest will be much simpler.

"The affairs of the Li family's family will only last for half a year. After this half year, your position will still be stable. You don't want to do anything for the time being, just leave it to me." Regarding Li Jiyang, the younger brother, the eldest brother still has some points Beloved, this younger brother does have some value.

Rather than letting Li Jiyang drag his feet in places he doesn't know, it's better to let him go.

On one's own territory, is it difficult for a mainland artist to go to the hospital for a month or two?

"Half a Century" was almost shot in a retro way throughout.

This movie mainly focuses on a young boy who is a prop maker who had to step into the entertainment circle because his family was poor. From the perspective of this little boy's growth, he will show the changes in the Hong Kong film industry he sees in his eyes.

When the little boy first entered the industry, martial arts films were the most popular in the film industry.Those male actors with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and righteous faces are especially popular, and actresses also need to practice martial arts every day, so as to be able to shoot good-looking fight scenes on the movie screen.As for substitutes, there are none.

Apart from the master the little boy recognized, the boy also met some other dream chasers.Some of them went to the TV station's artist training class and made their debut successfully, some changed careers to become hosts, and some quit altogether.

When the little boy grows up, martial arts movies have declined, and the male and female protagonists of martial arts movies have fallen into the predicament of not having a job. Instead, those actors with slightly evil looks who were not favored before began to enter the public's field of vision.

Hong Kong movies have entered a golden age, and the boy's income has gradually increased. Sometimes he has to catch several different scenes at the same time when he is busy.

Of course, the boy who is a prop master has gradually made a name for himself in this industry, and people will call him brother wherever he goes.

The boy saved a lot of money and opened his own company, which specializes in contracting some props for movies. His life is getting better and better.Suddenly one day, the boy realized that the company's accounts were getting worse and worse, and his staff began to lose their jobs.

As for the boy's friends in the entertainment industry, some fell into grievances from rich and powerful families, some began to put down their bodies to pick up bad movies, and some took their wealth and went north to the mainland to develop.

Overnight, everything seemed to have changed.

When the boy became an uncle and a grandfather, he was solemnly invited out of the mountain by a junior who had guided him before to make props for this person's new movie.

This movie is exactly the remake of the first film the boy was involved in making.

It seems to be a reincarnation, and half a century has passed since the actors re-interpreted a story.

The main line of the story is very clear. Just because of the different life stages of the protagonist, several different people have been changed to play the role.

This method of using different people to play a role is really a difficult challenge for the actors themselves and the director.

Different actors have different personalities but want to play the same role, there will be subtle differences in suitability, and it will also make the audience dance.

But the director stuck with the idea.

There is no way for young actors to play the protagonist, the prop master, well.

Although it is the protagonist in name, the real protagonist of the whole movie is not the prop master, but the many people who work in the film industry in the eyes of the prop master.There are not many shots of the protagonist alone, just recording all this as a bystander.

Only actors who have truly experienced the rise and fall of Hong Kong movies can grasp the vicissitudes and helplessness that are just right, and this is something that young actors have no way of experiencing.

And it is too difficult for the old actors to act tenderly for these senior artists, and it is too difficult for the audience who are difficult to enter the cinema to watch movies.

And Yang Li plays a young boy who is the prop master of the protagonist, a man who once aspired to be the protagonist of martial arts movies. A person who gave up his dream of going out to buy and sell houses but succeeded.

Because Yang Li is playing a supporting role and there are not many main roles, so he can pretend to be from a teenager to an old man. The time span is long, but there are not many lines.

Although this supporting role also has its own independent branch, due to the limitation of the protagonist's vision, what is exposed is only the scales.

The screenwriter said that Yang Li played this role mainly for the purpose of contrasting with the protagonist.

The protagonist has never left the entertainment circle, but the development seems to be the same. On the contrary, he withdrew in time and had a good investment vision. Although he gave up his ideals, he achieved success in the sense of universal value.

So is the protagonist's choice right or wrong? Have you ever regretted it?

This may require the audience to experience it for themselves.

Yang Li felt that this role was a bit like a reflection of the screenwriter's own life.

The screenwriter is well-known in the Hong Kong film circle, and has had many successful masterpieces, as well as some that have been scolded as bad movies.The net worth is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people, but family life seems to be a mess.

I heard that the screenwriter didn't learn Chinese at the beginning, and he did this job purely because he was pulled together by his friends at that time.As a result, all the friends changed careers one by one, and only he stayed.

Perhaps the screenwriter himself was also thinking, if he had chosen another industry instead of entering this industry, would he have a different life, so he created this character.

The entire film crew did some filming work in mainland China in the early stage.

There is no way, it is impossible to replicate the street conditions of that year in Hong Kong.The mainland has a dedicated film and television city in this regard, and the set is also better, with enough open space to build.

The filming locations also include some well-known scenic spots in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Poor Yang Li had just rushed over from the mainland, only to be told by the director that he was going to fly back again in a blink of an eye, and he was a little confused.

Fortunately, Yang Li's roles are mainly concentrated in Hong Kong, and on the mainland, he is responsible for watching the big shots.

To be honest, I have benefited a lot.

Today's filming is a scene in which a group of people represented by the protagonist negotiate with a local gangster.

The film crew where the protagonist works has a dispute with a local gang leader, so they need to negotiate at the wine table of the nightclub.And the actors of these two groups of people are all big shots who can open a movie by themselves.

The gangster boss played by Zhou Long will also appear in the last scene of this scene, and he starts to invest in the shooting of gangster movies.

Yang Li moved a small bench and sat next to the director, watching seriously.

The person playing the role of the young prop master is none other than Pei Rong.

Although it is also a stage of the protagonist, the youth stage is the one with the least amount of the protagonist.

Including this scene, there are only ten scenes, and there may be deletions in the future.The most part of the show is still the protagonist's middle age, played by one of the kings of Hong Kong.

However, although there are few scenes, it is the highlight of the protagonist's heart that begins to change.

Yang Li could clearly see that Pei Rong was getting nervous.

But in the face of this kind of battle, no one has to be nervous.

All the people who played against each other were the ones who won the three gold awards.

"Pei Rong, relax, we're going to start filming soon." The director reminded, and gestured for the staff to pay attention.

"All departments prepare!"

Pei Rong tried his best to relax, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yang Li sitting beside him.Seeing Yang Li's expectant face, Pei Rong felt his stomach hurt a little.

If possible, Pei Rong wanted to show his best acting skills in front of this junior who was a threat to his status, so that Yang Li would back down.

But facing such an opponent, Pei Rong really didn't think he would be able to stand out against these big shots.

Maybe there were more than a dozen NGs, and the plenary session would be noticed by Yang Li.

Bah bah bah, can't set a flag!

"Action!"

Following the director's order, the actors took their positions.

The scene of this scene is in a nightclub, so the lights are a bit dim and the venue is crowded.

Pei Rong went in with a few big shots.

The camera first looks at a young actor wearing a gold chain.

This is the costume of the little boss in classic gangster movies, and the little boss is played by a special actor who has also participated in the shooting of many gangster movies before.It can be said that as soon as he appeared on the stage, everyone knew what role he was going to play.

"Isn't this our big director?" The little boss hugged him left and right, talking but not looking at people directly, he didn't pay attention to these people at all.

"Brother Kai."

The actor playing the director in the film took out a lighter from his trouser pocket, and handed his best cigarette to the little boss: "Before, our staff were ignorant, they were all children, you adults have a lot to forgive them. We The investors of the film have also greeted the above, and we are all friends. We left after filming these two."

After the director finished speaking, he pulled Pei Rong, who was a prop master, to push forward: "Boy, why don't you toast and apologize to Big Kai?"

A look of humiliation appeared on Pei Rong's face, as if he wanted to say something more.

"Don't you want to do it anymore?" The director pinched him in a low voice, "If you annoy him, you will have nothing to do in this line of work!"

"Hey." Brother Da Kai sneered, seeing Pei Rong's expression, turned his head, picked up the dart on the table, and shot towards the target at the door.

Right in the bull's eye.

The younger brothers on the side whistled and booed one after another.

Pei Rong's cold sweat suddenly broke out.

He froze for a moment, as if he realized that the world was completely different from what he had imagined, and this industry was not as glamorous as he thought.

Dignity, can you just exchange it for a meal?

The normally arrogant director had to smile apologetically when facing these people; those female stars who didn't want to drink with them also had to be polite.

It's like what a female celebrity said to Pei Rong before: "In this circle, finding a backer is better than anything else, at least you don't have to worry about others taking action against you at will."

"Card!"

Director Fan Chu shouted to stop.

"Pei Rong, you've been thinking for a long time. Let's start again. You can't be overwhelmed by other people's momentum."

"I'm sorry, the director will do it again." Pei Rong withdrew and prepared to reshoot the scene.

Yang Li watched from the sidelines, and could almost feel Pei Rong's pressure.

When the people around are speaking Cantonese, it does take some time for those who speak Mandarin to react.What's more, the opponent is a special actor who plays gangsters all the year round, and the actor himself can't get rid of that kind of vigor. Coupled with this atmosphere, it is difficult to speak his lines normally, let alone Act without being suppressed!

What should I do if it is me?
