Chapter 512: Seriously!
“You’re here so early?”
At around eight o’clock, Zhang Yuan appeared on the set.
The eldest brother was applying make-up on the spot and was very surprised to see him.
“I was deeply inspired when I saw my eldest brother filming yesterday, and I want to come and watch it in advance, is that okay?”
"Okay, okay, just take a look."
Uncle Long was surprised that didn't he go to live with Gao Yuanyuan yesterday?
Can you still get up today?
Shouldn’t the king stop attending court early from now on?
This is called judging others by oneself.
Uncle Long thought, could this kid be in poor health?
Or maybe he doesn’t like women?
Thinking of this, Uncle Long felt that if he really didn’t like women, then I would be considered a copycat!
The script was handed over to Zhang Yuan in advance.
"Character: Cash Truck Driver."
"Character: sissy, likes men."
Zhang Yuan:...
Forget it, just treat it as a breakthrough image.
While Zhang Yuan was memorizing his lines in advance and studying the character, Teacher Gu, who doesn’t eat beef, also came to the set.
“Wow, he came so early.”
"Yeah." Uncle Long shrugged.
"What role was given to him?"
The eldest brother and Goo Jai roughly talked about it.
“Isn’t that the guest role that was originally intended for Yanzu?”
“It’s a guest role, and it’s Mr. Yang who speaks, so naturally it will be given to him.”
"I remember that the original role he played in "The Night Banquet" was Yanzu's." Gu Tianle looked at him from a distance.
“Really?” Uncle Long was stunned: “Didn’t Yanzu get injured and disfigured?”
“It’s because of this role that I lost.”
“Oh, He was very lucky, he got the role of Yan Zu twice in one year."
Uncle Long looked back at Zhang Yuan and suddenly remembered the lines in "New Police Story".
"Stop it, Azu!"
"Everyone outside is Zhang Yuan..."
"By the way, aren't you quite destined to be with him?" Uncle Long looked at it with a smile. Xiang Guzi: "You have all played Yang Guo."
"Don't mention the past anymore." Gu Tianle obviously didn't want to mention the role of Yang Guo.
Although he became popular because of his role as Yang Guo.
But after the filming, I have been labeled with this label.
At the same time, because of the fire, the news that he was imprisoned for robbery when he was young was also widely spread by the media. During that time, he almost became a street rat.
As a Hong Kong person, especially a celebrity, if you encounter difficulties and your career is not going well, what should you do?
Go to Siam and find the White Dragon King!
After that period of time, Goo Jai suddenly tanned himself.
Externally, I find it troublesome to wear makeup because I used to be too fair and it took me a long time to remove my makeup every day.
In fact, this statement is just a listen, it is not very logical.
As long as you are filming, no matter whether your skin color is black or white, you must put on makeup. No one will suddenly change their image because of the trouble of removing makeup.
On the one hand, he did this just like Zhang Weijian shaved his head back then. He acted more as a pretty boy and wanted to transform and prove himself.
On the other hand, when he went to find the White Dragon King, the other party gave him the calculation and said...
"You go to the beach to rest for a week and don't think about anything."
A week later, Goo Jai came back to find the master and asked him what should he do?
“It’s done, just keep it.”
This week, he tanned himself into a roast duck on the beach in Siam.
As expected, not long after he returned, he received film appointments for "Criminal Investigation Files", "The Legend of the Century" and "The Story of Qin" one after another.
After starring in this movie which became a hit, he received an invitation from Xiang Jia, left TVB, and moved to the film industry.
The two chatted for a while, then stopped talking and started working.
Not long after filming, Uncle Long discovered that the executive director was particularly busy today.
“Hey, run away!”
“Stop shooting!”
"Go away, did you hear me?"
Uncle Long even ran over to ask.
Because they usually film, there are quite a few reporters, but today there were obviously an order of magnitude more than usual.
“What’s going on?”
The executive director pointed at Zhang Yuan, who was standing behind the director team and craning his neck to study.
"They are all here to take pictures of him."
"Oh." Uncle Long said in surprise.
“Hello, big brother.” At this time, SA also came to work.
She plays Goo Jai’s girlfriend in the film.
"Are there so many reporters today?" She also spotted the guns and cannons nearby.
"They were all filmed by him." Uncle Long pointed as well as the executive director.
“Oh, he’s normal!” Ah SA looked up.
“Do you recognize him?”
“Yes, I went to the press conference two days ago.”
“He is very popular, and reporters are watching him. With him.”
"And he's going to act in Zhang Yi's movie soon."
"Ah!" Chenlong already knew from Zhao Benshan's reaction yesterday that this young man was not a mortal.
But I didn’t expect him to be so powerful.
Seeing Uncle Long's performance, Asa thought that there were not many young people who could surprise his elder brother.
"He has been rumored to be having an affair with the heroine of the show at Pacific Place in the past two days, so he has become even more popular."
"That girl is super pretty." Asa said, "But her mother seems to be even prettier."
Chen Long raised his eyebrows.
This guy can do it!
Gao Yuanyuan looks very good, but one person is not enough, so there is a younger one over there.
Uncle Long thought to himself that this multi-line operator is quite cool and looks like me when I was young!
Uncle Long didn't think much about it at first, but now he started to pay attention to him.
In the subsequent shooting breaks, I also paid attention to what Zhang Yuan was doing from time to time.
I found that in addition to observing the directing team, he seemed to be particularly interested in his own action design.
You can naturally tell what Chen Long is looking at. Zhang Yuan is not pretending, but is really observing carefully.
When lunch was served, Uncle Long saw Zhang Yuan, like other staff, taking chicken leg rice and squatting on the roadside to eat.
"I'm very popular and don't have any airs."
"It's easy to learn...he has a future."
Uncle Long suddenly thought of his son, who seemed to be about the same age as Zhang Yuan.
As he thought about it, he shook his head. His son grew up in the Lighthouse Country and carried Western cultural habits with him.
He couldn't stand it.
Chinese culture emphasizes orderliness between elders and younger ones and appropriate speech.
He felt that Zhang Yuan behaved very appropriately and relaxed yesterday when facing him and Ben Shan, two important figures, at dinner.
But my son... to be honest, in his eyes, his behavior is a bit unruly, he doesn't stand or sit properly, and he always shakes his head like RAP when he talks.
When I encounter a little problem at work, I lose patience.
Actually, Uncle Long and Uncle Guoli are very similar.
Whether it is career achievements, attitude towards women, or education of children, they are all very similar.
Of course, the two sons are more like...
Not only are they indistinguishable in appearance, but they also behave like brothers.
Moreover, both of them were arrested in the Imperial Capital in 2014, only half a month apart.
So Chenlong, like Zhang Guoli, couldn't help but think of his own boy after seeing Zhang Yuan.
And the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel.
Boom!
After dinner, Uncle Long was chatting with director Chen Musheng while filming, when the roar of an engine sounded near the set.
A red Ferrari parked not far away, Mr. Xie had just arrived.
This person is wearing sunglasses and has a tired look on his face.
"What's the matter, playing video games all night again?"
"It's not video games...that's right." Ting Feng was about to explain, but knew that Uncle Long wouldn't understand, so he admitted it.
Chen Long shook his head, he was a prince again.
Going out in a sports car, knowing that he played so late the day before filming.
Uncle Long thinks Ting Fung is good because he works very hard when filming, he does all the fighting scenes by himself, and he handles injuries himself.
Especially when compared with my own son, I feel that my fourth brother is very lucky.
But now that I have a new comparison object, I feel that Ting Fung is just ordinary.
"Your friend arrived in the morning and has been memorizing the script for a long time. You should hurry up."
"Huh?" Mr. Xie then saw Zhang Yuan squatting on the roadside reading the script.
Zhang Bozhi is not here these days.
It just so happened that Cecilia went to the mainland to film a movie, and she was filming "The 601st Phone", which was promoted by Zhang Yuan and was shot by Uncle Guo Li. The filming had just started on the other end.
What will Mr. Xie do when his girlfriend is away?
Go to the bar to pick up girls?
No, no, no, picking up girls is so boring.
Of course, while my girlfriend is away, I quickly play games!
What he plays is "World of Warcraft", which became popular all over the world as soon as it was released. He plays on the American server and his profession is an undead thief.
How can women have fun games!
On this point, Zhang Yuan and him have differences.
Later, when Cheung Po Chi was pregnant, the Hong Kong media could not find him for several months and speculated that he should be taking care of his wife who was expecting child.
But in fact, he hid in his house and played for several months...
There were many celebrities who were public fans of World of Warcraft in those days.
Including Yao Ming, who is playing in the NBA, he travels to 29 cities a year.
He is not familiar with the scenery of these cities, but he knows which hotel website is the best among the 29 cities.
And he also plays a thief.
Both of them have a strong sense of stealing.
After playing all night, Tingfeng, who was yawning profusely, came to Zhang Yuan's side.
"You're here so early?" "Uncle Long's filming is so interesting, I want to see more."
"Okay, let's match the lines."
In order to refresh himself, Mr. Xie smoked cigarettes one after another, and also bought a glass bottle of iced Coke and drank it hard.
After a while, the crew turned on the camera.
Their roles are very simple. Ting Feng drives the cash truck, and he is the co-pilot's escort.
The two of them unknowingly put a stroller on the back of the car and were pursued by the protagonist group.
In order to make the characters more interesting, director Chen Musheng added settings for the two.
Ting Feng, the driver, stutters, and Zhang Yuan, the escort, is GAY.
The two of them put on their security uniforms, got into the car, and the show started.
They only need to pretend to drive and shoot the scenes inside the car. The collisions outside the car and the drag racing scenes will be done by stuntmen.
"No, no, no, don't be afraid, call the headquarters and ask for support." Ting Feng spoke with a serious face.
Hmm.
Zhang Yuan unexpectedly discovered that Mr. Xie’s acting skills were much better than before.
At least it’s not that exaggerated.
When this guy was filming an angry scene, he felt like he was having a cramp and his head would turn to one side. Those who didn't know it thought he had a cerebral thrombosis.
“Yes.” Zhang Yuan responded shyly.
"Stuck!" the director shouted to stop.
"Ting Feng, why did your expression suddenly change?"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Mr. Xie shook his head awkwardly, saying that he was fine.
Then he looked at Zhang Yuan.
The soft hum from the other party just now gave him goosebumps.
This is so similar to the sound a woman makes when she is being coquettish and pestering her!
"Headquarters, I am employee 3321, requesting support."
The camera turned on again, Zhang Yuan spoke his lines, and continued the performance from just now.
"Oh?" Uncle Long looked at his performance in front of the monitor.
I saw him holding the walkie-talkie with both hands instead of holding it with one hand like ordinary men.
“He designed this action very well, and the feeling of being neither male nor female came out immediately.”
The shot passed smoothly.
Then the props team made a rough adjustment and parked an SUV in front of the escort vehicle and stuck it tightly.
And sprinkled with a lot of prop glass shards similar to rock sugar.
This is used to simulate the scene of a collision between two cars.
"You, you, you hit me, it was so, so, so good." Ting Feng pointed at the car in front and said.
“I’ll hit your ass!”
"Okay!" Zhang Yuan shook his body and replied excitedly.
“Stuck!”
“Hehehe...” Uncle Long laughed out loud while watching the playback.
“His eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that he was going to hit someone’s butt.”
“Of course, he is gay, so of course he was excited when he heard that he was going to hit his butt.”< br>
The eldest brother and the director said with a smile.
"Wow, he grasps the details very well and is very good at acting!"
"Yes, and he gets into the mood very quickly." The director also praised.
"But in this comparison, Ting Feng..."
"Oh, for the sake of fourth brother, don't say anything." Uncle Long waved his hand.
Zhang Yuan's performance indeed exceeded their expectations. The two of them knew at a glance that he was really capable.
"No wonder Lao Mouzi would use him..." Uncle Long thought.
But there are two people in front of the camera!
Zhang Yuan's acting skills are smooth and delicate, making Mr. Xie look like a raw melon and egg.
Can Jackie Chan not know?
Mr. Xie's acting talent is actually average, and his singing talent is not much better than acting.
But for Xie Xian’s sake, I can only hold it in my arms.
After looking at Zhang Yuan, Uncle Long sighed.
"Is it true that the talent of our next generation in Xiangjiang has withered?"
The two of them don't have many scenes. After shooting three more scenes, there is only one left, and they can Completely completed.
"It's okay, the support from above is so fast." Zhang Yuan held a shotgun in his hand, turned his head to look around, and said.
"It's all up to you." At this moment, he turned back and looked at Mr. Xie, telling him very tenderly, and at the same time, he gently put a hand on the other man's arm.
Feeling Mr. Xie’s sideways glance, goosebumps jumped up again.
Feel Zhang Yuan's fiery eyes, the warmth from the palm of his hand, and the gentle strength.
Master Xie is very doubtful that Zhang Yuan is really that kind of person...
Ayuan, you are serious!
He resisted the nausea in his stomach and spoke his last line.
"Where did you come from?"
Zhang Yuan turned around, twisted his neck and looked forward, and said in the same soft and appraising tone.
“Beibei Mountain.”
"Stuck!"
"Congratulations to Ting Fung and Zhang Yuan for finishing the shoot!"
Director Chen Musheng picked up the loudspeaker and shouted.
Master Xie quickly jumped out of the car, anxious to stay away from Zhang.
After taking off the stuffy costume and helmet, he looked at Zhang Yuan again, only to find that his expression was as usual.
"You just acted very well. We will work together again if we have the opportunity in the future." Uncle Long stepped forward and gave Zhang Yuan a thumbs up.
“Leave me a phone number.” He even asked for his contact information.
Mr.
That was a great performance.
I didn’t feel that way before on the set of “Little Fish and Flowers”.
Mr. Xie didn't know that Zhang Yuan's mind was not on acting on that set.
Besides, Wang Jian pays attention to efficiency when filming and does not have high requirements for performance quality.
But it’s different here.
This is a movie!
Uncle Long’s requirements are still very high.
The two of them were lucky enough to have just cameos and no fighting scenes.
Goo Jai was trained by his elder brother every day. A fighting scene had to be filmed more than ten times. It was tiring and dangerous. When he went back to the hotel at night, his whole body ached when he slept.
"Don't leave yet. Let's have a farewell meal together after the filming. I'll treat you."
After that, Uncle Long took them to the side to rest.
There were many people coming and going on the crew.
Instead of eating lunch in the evening, Mr. Xie took him to a side street to eat wonton noodles and beef offal. He even dragged him to a stall to eat a special snack called stinky sausage.
What do you mean, this thing is quite tasty.
The main ingredients are pig intestines, shiitake mushrooms, plus a kind of steamed bun-like dough cake, served with red soup and spicy sauce.
Basically it’s the Hong Kong version of stewed and roasted.
Zhang Yuan can eat it, but his taste is average. He thinks Brother Qian will like it.
Eat and shop.
While walking and chatting, Zhang Yuan mentioned something seemingly casually.
"Ting Feng, I heard that you opened a special effects company?"
"Yes!" Mr. Xie raised his head very proudly when he heard him mention this.
Although this guy's acting and singing are average, he has a good investment vision.
When filming the MV for "Jade Butterfly" in 2001, he obviously spent a lot of money but could never achieve the effect he wanted.
It was then discovered that the special effects production of Xiangjiang Film and Television was basically taken over by companies from Australia, Bangkok, and even Siam.
Special effects companies in Lighthouse Country are too expensive, and most Hong Kong films cannot afford them.
Then the idea of starting my own company came up.
This man withdrew his savings and mortgaged his house to the bank. In total, he scraped together nearly 30 million Hong Kong dollars to start a special effects company called PO Chaoting.
Of course, having money is one aspect.
He still has connections.
With Eagle Emperor behind him and his family's connections, his company will have no shortage of work in Xiangjiang.
From the late stage of advertising to the late stage of film and television dramas, business is very booming.
In more than a year, the number of employees has grown from a dozen to nearly a hundred.
However, just like the film and television industry in Hong Kong, the basic base is too small, and the total number of people, film and advertising output is so small.
The company soon hit a bottleneck.
This is exactly what Zhang Yuan is aiming at.
When filming "Crazy Stone" before, the only special effects scene in the whole film was the slow-motion scene where the international robbers Mike and Xu Zheng he played were fighting each other, with swords intersecting.
It lasted less than ten seconds, but it cost the crew a budget of over 100,000 yuan.
This was the discounted price he got through his connections with Huang Weimin.
And the production effect is very average. Although it cannot be said to be a 50-cent special effect, it is still fake at first glance.
So, he came up with the idea that instead of making money for others, it would be better to make money for others himself.
But the entry barrier to the film and television special effects industry is actually very high.
Today’s mainland is almost as immature as a baby in this regard.
But Zhang Yuan knows that the era of domestic special effects blockbusters will soon come. Special effects production is a big business, and only by entering early can you seize the opportunity.
Because it is difficult and the demand is not high, there are few people doing it.
He thought for a long time, and the best entry point was to learn from Xiangjiang and join a joint venture with them just like the mainland film and television industry decades ago!
After Zhang Yuan listened to Mr. Xie bragging for half an hour and telling how his company was ahead, he smiled and spoke.
"So, have you ever considered letting the company develop in mainland China..."
