Ten:20 am.

Zou Wenhuai personally presided over the opening ceremony and worked with Ye Jin to cut the roasted pig.

"The new show is starting, good luck!" Everyone also put their hands on the knife handle and shouted loudly while cutting.

After cutting the pork, Zou Wenhuai and Ye Jin took the veil for the camera together.

Early cameras were film cameras, which were prone to mechanical failures and scratching the film. Once scratched, the entire roll of film would be useless, and the scene would have to be reshooted, which was laborious and costly.

This is why photographers are particularly superstitious. Before starting the camera, they must use a red cloth to cover the camera with an evil spirit, and only after worshiping the gods are allowed to be unveiled.

In addition, male artists can sit for lens boxes and footers, but female artists must not sit for them. Doing this is also to ward off evil spirits.

Worship the gods, burn incense, burn paper, cut the pigs, and uncover the veil... After the opening ceremony was completed, the drama "The Gods' Beat" was officially launched.

When you start the first shot, you usually choose the easiest scene to shoot. After passing it once, you will get a good start!

Under the guidance of director Ding Shanxi, Ye Jin led Lin Qingxia to run past the camera.

"Ok, cut!" Ding Shanxi shouted loudly, the first shot was successfully completed, and the audience applauded and congratulated each other.

...

After the first shot was taken, everyone started to organize the equipment and load the car one by one. In the afternoon, they were about to go to the New Territories to take a picture.

Ye Jin, Lin Qingxia, Zou Wenhuai and other major creative personnel were interviewed by reporters at this time.

"Mr. Ye, look at your outfit, will the new drama be from the Republic of China period?" a reporter asked curiously.

Ye Jin is now wearing a long gown, trousers, and a pair of cloth shoes on his feet. He looks like he is dressed in the Republic of China period.

Ye Jin nodded, "Yes, this drama was filmed during the Republic of China."

Hong Kong people are more interested in shooting kung fu dramas during the Republic of China.

A hero violated the ban with martial arts. Although there is no ****, Hong Kong also has an inspection department. If you shoot action scenes with modern urban themes, you may not be able to pass the inspection department's review. In fact, it was not allowed to film scenes related to the police at that time, for fear of being allegedly attacked.

Second, the Chinese audience in Southeast Asia were generally dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty, believing that [pigtails] were a symbol of humiliation. Therefore, Hong Kong films at that time almost did not shoot Qing Dynasty dramas, and even if they were filmed with positive characters, they would not have braids.

For example, in several movies starring Cheng Long, "The Snake-shaped Hand", "The Strange Fist", and "The Junior Brother Comes Out", although they were all from the Qing Dynasty, Cheng Long, Yuan Xiaoqi, Shi Jian and others did not have braids. However, villains such as Shangguan Yiyun, the head of the Eagle Claw Sect, and Ren Tianhua, the Qing Dynasty's Yingdog, all had braids.

However, as Nanyang audiences metabolize, the concepts of the younger generation are also changing. Braided dramas such as "The Big Pirate" and "The Stupid Horse" directed by Zhang Che also achieved good box office when they were released in the Nanyang area.

Seeing this, the film company's ban on [Pigtail Drama] was gradually relaxed. It is said that Xiao's Film has already allowed him to film the Qing palace drama "The Legend of Cixi" at the request of the great director Li Hanqing.

...

"Mr. Ye, what is the name of your movie?" the reporter asked curiously again.

"This movie is temporarily named "Divine Fist Boy"." Ye Jin smiled.

Because of the success of two consecutive movies, Ye Jin is now the object of imitation by major film companies.

As far as Ye Jin knows, there are several film companies in Xiangjiang now following the trend to film "Drunk Fist". The names of their movies are very similar to "Drunk Fist".

For example, there are those called "Drunk Boy", some are called "The Master of Drunk Box", some are called "Young Huang Feihong's Drunk Box", some are called "Drunk Cat"... There are all besides.

Therefore, in order to prevent them from gaining popularity, Ye Jin did not say the name of the movie first, so that other companies would not be able to follow the trend and shoot a movie, and then release it at the same time as Ye Jin's movie, which would be less than his box office.

...

"Mr. Ye, I heard that you are also a producer in this drama?" the reporter asked with a smile.

"Not bad, because I hope to be able to control the movies I starred in." Ye Jin nodded and smiled, "I am very grateful to Mr. Zou for giving me this opportunity so that I can learn more about film production."

"Then how much money do you pay yourself?" the reporter asked curiously again.

As the box office of "Drunk Boxing" exceeded 6 million Hong Kong dollars, Ye Jin's pay rose again and again. The outside world was also very curious about his actual pay.

After all, Xiangjiang is a capital society, and [money] is the most eye-catching.

Ye Jin smiled and refused to answer.

The pay is related to the status of the actor and the taxation of the actors, so the entertainment industry has always been very secretive about this and cannot easily understand the truth.

When Lin Qingxia heard them ask, her smile froze and looked at Ye Jin in surprise.

"Mr. Zou, can you reveal it?" Seeing this, the reporter asked Zou Wenhuai curiously.

"I won't talk about the specific numbers. In short, our Jiahe took a big advantage this time." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.

After the box office of "Drunk Boxing" exceeded 6 million Hong Kong dollars, Ye Jin's pay suddenly jumped to 1 million Hong Kong dollars, achieving a qualitative leap.

Because six million Hong Kong dollars is an unprecedented achievement in Hong Kong film history, even Bruce Lee did not break this record. This fully demonstrates Ye Jin's box office appeal, and a person can attract at least four million Hong Kong dollars.

In this case, a pay of one million Hong Kong dollars is naturally worth it.

Ye Jin played in "The Gods' Beat" this time and received only 600,000 yuan in salary. In short, Jiahe really got a bargain.

Hearing that he said, the reporters laughed.

...

After the reporters finished the interview, the crew officially started at 11 o'clock.

After dinner, I took a bus to New Territories.

"Brother Jin, I'll be able to help me with my 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in pay, right?" Lin Qingxia solemnly asked Ye Jin during the meal.

When she first learned that her salary reached HK$100,000, she was shocked.

Hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars are about NT$700,000. Such a pay is simply a sky-high price in Taiwan. Even the most popular actress Zhen Er and He Lili can't get such a pay.

Lin’s mother was very happy. NT$700,000, and her husband’s life savings were not that much. As expected, her daughter has talent and it is the right choice to develop in the entertainment industry.

But now Lin Qingxia realized that getting such a high salary was not because of her talent, but because of her relationship with Ye Jin.

"What's wrong? Don't like it?" Ye Jin didn't care at first, and answered casually while eating.

"I thought it was what I deserved, but I didn't expect it to be obtained through connections." Lin Qingxia said depressedly.

When Ye Jin heard this, he immediately understood and then smiled.

"You've misunderstood this." He quickly explained, "Actually, I am just a producer, and I don't know what kind of producers I know. Besides, Mr. Zou is a movie giant in Xiangjiang, and I'm just a little star. How much say can I have in front of others?

The pay was decided by Mr. Zou himself, but it had nothing to do with me. I also realized that you received a pay of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. I think it should be related to the big sale of "Drunk Boxing".

Think about it, the box office of this movie has exceeded HK$6 million. Why can't you get a 100,000 Hong Kong dollars as the heroine of the movie?"

"It's really that way? You really don't know?" Lin Qingxia confirmed again.

"I really don't know." Ye Jin nodded, "Mr. Zou must have given you a 100,000 Hong Kong dollar salary based on your own popularity, acting skills and potential."
