Chapter 365 Capture, capture, pinch
[I’ve been busy with things recently. I cleaned my new house yesterday, and I’m neutering my dog today... two more updates. 】
This evening.
Xu Kun wrapped himself up tightly as usual, drove out and went straight to a private restaurant in the North Third Ring Road.
The launch date of "Apple" is set for May 8th, which is less than ten days away. Except for Yuan Li, who has been going downhill recently, the other three leading actors are now popular A-list stars. It is said that they only have an inch of time. Not an inch of gold is too much.
Therefore, in order to shorten the shooting time as much as possible, Director Li Yu wanted everyone to hold a small meeting in advance to discuss each other's views on the characters and the plot.
When Xu Kun rushed over, apart from director Li Yu, only Tong Dawei had arrived.
"Director Xu."
After seeing Xu Kun, Tong Dawei greeted him a little cautiously, and then said sarcastically: "Actually, that person Wen Zhang..."
"Don't mention him."
Xu Kun waved his hand and interrupted him, and said seriously: "When I recommended Deng Chao, I didn't know that the director of that drama had approached you first, so I had no intention of targeting you. As for Wen Zhang, he will have nothing to do with me in the future. .”
After saying that, he turned to Director Li Yu and stretched out his hand: "Sister Li, if someone accuses me of not being from an academy and saying that I am not worthy of being called a sixth-generation director, I will use you as a shield. Let’s see what else they have to say!”
Li Yu laughed loudly after hearing this. She also came from a non-scientific background. She had been a host for a few years before, and then resigned and went to work in the film industry - well, not that kind of work.
The first short film he shot in 1996 won an award, and he has received many nominations abroad in recent years. Regardless of the subject matter, the people he focuses on, and even the language used in many shots, it all belongs to the style of the sixth generation director.
Now that Xu Kun said this, he was obviously complimenting her.
After sitting down, Li Yu couldn't wait to ask Xu Kun about his analysis of the characters.
Xu Kun was well prepared for this and directly passed a thirty-page character biography to Li Yu.
Li Yu read through it briefly and felt completely at ease. Because she had "Zhu Yuanzhang" and "The Blind Shaft" as background, she had no doubts about Xu Kun's acting skills. She was just worried that Xu Kungui was busy with personnel and had no time to study the script carefully.
Seeing this, Tong Dawei on the side also hurriedly took out his biography and gave it to Li Yu to read.
Li Yu also roughly read through it, and then asked the two to exchange ideas with each other to see if each other's ideas could collide, or if they could discover previously overlooked details from the other person's biography.
Although Tong Dawei cannot be called the leader among the new generation of actors, he can definitely be called "loving and dedicated". This biography is thicker than that written by Xu Kun.
Although the content is not refined enough and not as coherent and smooth as the technique Xu Kun learned from Li Yixiang, it can be seen that Tong Dawei worked hard to figure out the role.
By the way, the male protagonist's name was originally An Kun, but Li Yu was afraid that Xu Kun would be taboo, so he changed it to An Xin.
On the opposite side, Tong Dawei looked at the biography written by Xu Kun and secretly sighed that he was indeed a worthy scholar despite his great reputation. Needless to say, the rigor of this biography was undeniable.
Xu Kun even specially set up a set of iconic actions based on the script.
The setting is that Lin Dong, the owner of the foot washing city, usually wears a gold chain under his clothes. Only when he gets emotional or wants to overpower others, he will pull the chopstick-thick gold chain from his neck. come out.
This little gesture continues throughout.
In order to avoid trouble, when he wants to fire the foot-washing girl who is being harassed and fights back; when he negotiates with the heroine Liu Pingguo and the male protagonist Anxin, and prepares to buy the child in Liu Pingguo's belly; when he confronts Anxin who is struggling repeatedly in his heart. , all have this action.
Moreover, Xu Kun also carefully marked the slight differences in several movements.
This action fully reflects that money is Lin Dong's confidence and support.
And at the end, when An Xin, played by Tong Dawei, comes back to the door because of the paternity test results and wants to refund 100,000 yuan and wants to redeem his child, Lin Dong gets emotional and breaks the gold chain, which represents his Confidence and reliance are crumbling.
Tong Dawei greatly appreciated this detailed design, and Li Yu also felt that it was in line with his expectations.
Moreover, she mentioned at the beginning of the script that when Lin Dong went to see the mistress, because he was dissatisfied with the mistress's coping attitude, he put away his gold watch and chain and left voluntarily.
Originally there would be no scenes of these things in the follow-up, but now that Xu Kun has used them as 'waste', there is more of a beginning and an end to it. "How did you come up with this?"
Li Yu asked with interest.
"Actually, I got inspiration from a friend by chance. Every time he encountered something, he would subconsciously rub the gold chain around his neck. I thought this was quite representative, so I designed it into the character."
While Xu Kun was chatting, Yuan Li opened the door and walked in. She put her hands together and apologized: "I'm sorry, I ran into some trouble, so I'm late."
After saying that, I realized that the most important heroine was not present.
She couldn't help but wonder: "Why hasn't Fan Bingbing come yet? Didn't she save this game on her own initiative?"
Director Li Yu was hesitant to speak, but Xu Kun took the initiative and said: "She must have been in trouble. Recently, she and Zhao Wei have been flirting with each other. Zhao Wei just won the award yesterday. I guess... …”
"Oh~"
Yuan Li was suddenly enlightened. She sat down at the table and asked straight to the point: "Is it true or false that Zhao Wei spent 500,000 to hire people to vote for the "Best Actress" award at the College Student Film Festival? I heard it was Fan Bing. Bing’s agent got him out.”
"Of course the ticket purchase is true!"
Before she finished speaking, Fan Bingbing's voice came from outside the door. She pushed the door in with a cold face: "Zhao Wei won the award before the film was released. Doesn't this prove that she bought the ticket?"
< br>
With that said, he sat down next to Xu Kun, leaned against Xu Kun and looked at the things in his hands, and asked: "Brother Kun, what are you looking at?"
"An An Xin's biography."
"I wrote it too!"
Hearing this, Fan Bingbing hurriedly took out a thicker biography from his bag and presented it to Xu Kun like a treasure: "Director Xu, please help me get it right."
Not to mention, seeing this biography really changed Xu Kun's view of her - regardless of her actual ability, this positive attitude is still worthy of recognition.
However, compared to Tong Dawei, her character biography is more complicated and messy. There are even a lot of omissions and changes, or even several interpretation methods for one plot.
This may seem like a serious attitude, but it actually reflects uncertainty and lack of confidence.
When Xu Kun was reading this biography, Yuan Li also revealed the reason for being late: "Someone on the blog made a rumor, saying that when I was filming "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan 2", I was slapped twice by Deng Jie He slapped me in the face and scolded me for being flirtatious, so I was kicked out of the crew, so I didn’t film "Iron 3" later.
Originally, I was planning to come over, but my agent asked me to send an article to clarify the matter, so I came late. ”
This matter has actually been circulated in the circle for a long time. It was considered a vomiting melon, but unexpectedly it was found out on the Internet again.
However, considering Yuan Li's situation in the past two years, Xu Kun has reason to suspect that this is actually her own hype, just like Fan Bingbing has been holding on to Zhao Wei recently.
If Fan Bingbing's incident against Zhao Wei was exposed once or twice, it would be considered an accident. However, in the past few months, it has been exposed one after another, and even many private remarks were written verbatim in newspapers. That can only be said to be deliberate.
As for the purpose...
Probably because she wanted to completely get rid of the image of the 'little maid' back then.
In order to achieve this goal, news even circulated on the Internet that Fan Bingbing was much more domineering than Zhao Wei on the set of Huanzhu. He even beat Zhao Wei and turned his back on the guests.
This is too nonsense!
Just as he was thinking about something, Xu Kun suddenly felt a hand groping along his trouser pocket.
At the same time, Fan Bingbing laughed and said: "I've seen this kind of rumor a lot. People outside think that our circle is in chaos. The more outrageous it is, the more people believe it! In fact, they are all fabricated out of thin air - Kun Brother, do you think that’s the case?”
Xu Kun: "..."
He couldn't guarantee anything else, but he had personally experienced the words 'catch, catch, pinch'.
