Chapter 302 Wang Baoqiang plays the villain?
In a gym, a big man with a particularly strong upper body was hammering a sandbag.
The sound of "bang" and "bang" is endless. Every time a fist is struck, the sandbag can be knocked away for a certain distance.
Jiang Wu fought for a while, stopped, picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his head.
After half a year of training, he has completely fallen in love with this form of exercise, and he feels a sense of power coming from the heart.
At this time, Jiang Wu's muscles became more and more obvious. Although his belly was bulging, when others saw it, they would not think it was fat at all, nor did they feel naive. Instead, they would feel that his whole body was filled with a terrifying aura.
Jiang Wu himself did not feel this emotion and was worried.
I don’t know when Director Xiao Chen will be finished. He can’t wait.
Just then, the phone rang.
Jiang Wu quickly picked up the phone,
"Hello, hello, who are you? Oh, Director Xiao Chen is about to start, okay, I know."
After hanging up the phone, the joy on his face could not be suppressed, and he punched the sandbag hard. He punched him and sent him flying.
Finally joining the group.
That evening, Huayang Station’s talk show was broadcast.
In addition to some thoughts and experiences about the achievements of "Infinite World" this time, as well as the praise of Xiao Chen by some well-known writers.
Chen Linfeng also revealed his next plan.
Preparing to start filming an action movie, which he wrote and directed, with Jiang Wu starring as the protagonist.
The outside world has always known that Xiao Chen is good at martial arts. He has also shown his skills in several previous costume dramas.
However, this time he did not do it himself, but chose Jiang Wu.
During the program, the host also asked this question.
"Why don't you play the leading role yourself?"
"The film I made this time is not a traditional martial arts film, but a realistic action film. I hope it can bring some freshness to the audience. , and this needs to be distinguished from traditional kung fu movies.
For this, Jiang Wu is more prepared than me. He has been practicing boxing for half a year, and he also made additional adjustments according to my requirements. Heavy.
With his current body shape and the guidance of the action director, I think it should be able to give the audience a more realistic and different experience.”
On TV, it is said in vain. The audience doesn't have a very clear idea.
But everyone is obviously still very interested. Based on Xiao Chen's undefeated history, the public is generally very interested in his new works.
Especially now that he has just become famous all over the world.
Journalists, especially entertainment reporters, like to answer questions for the public.
They quickly found Jiang Wu's location and asked questions related to the movie, but the other party did not answer.
But just taking pictures is enough to be a gimmick.
Jiang Wu usually keeps a low profile, and the media will not come to him if there is nothing wrong. Therefore, when the results of the past six months were shown to the public for the first time, the contrast was very strong.
The audience who had an impression of Jiang Wu were a little surprised. How could he become such a big guy?
Reminiscent of what Chen Linfeng said in the previous program, everyone had some vague ideas.
This fist as big as a sandbag should be very painful when it hits someone.
The news that Chen Linfeng is going to make a new film spread quickly, especially when he himself announced the news on the show.
For A-list actors in the industry, the news is mixed.
The most regrettable thing is that the protagonist has been chosen early. Jiang Wu has been preparing for this for half a year, so naturally there is no way to make a wrong idea.
But other roles are also fine. When it comes to great directors, no one is very picky and can just make do with it.
However, when Qilin Studio began to release audition notices, the thoughtful young actors were discouraged.
No, Director Xiao Chen, what are you looking for?
Yes, the announcement specifically said that a villain with a distinctive appearance or figure is required. And consider that in addition to the protagonist Jiang Wu, there is also a second male lead. Rumor has it that he has been promised to Shi Xiaolong.
The rest are either big villains or minions.
There is nothing we can do about it. The characters of several police officers are considered serious people, and Chen Linfeng is basically looking for guest appearances.
He has a lot of connections in the field of TV dramas, including those who have been benefited by Longlin Company in the past.
You can't just put this favor aside all the time. The way to get along is to come and go.
And to be honest, many of these actors have little chance to act in movies. If they are roped in to make guest appearances, it is unclear whether they will take back the favor or continue to earn it.
However, most of these actors are handsome or beautiful actors with delicate features.
I can only play normal police roles.
These villains and gangsters require talented actors. They cannot be played by ordinary excellent actors, so they have to be found again.
While Chen Linfeng arranged for Cheng Er to go to Hong Kong Island to inspect the location, he went to Pingshi Film and Television City.
Here is the newly built Kowloon Walled City on Hong Kong Island that started at the end of last year. Based on the original appearance of the Kowloon Walled City in the past, it is basically copied as much as possible.
Of course the scale is not that big, but it is enough to only take part of the shots.
Chen Linfeng renamed the film "Crime City" in his previous life as "Police Incident", and the background of the original story was also changed.
The original work in the previous life was mainly based on the gangsters from a certain northeastern region of the country who entered the country of Seoul. This setting must be abandoned.
Chen Linfeng changed the background of the villain to Annan because of the influx of refugees to Hong Kong Island due to the war. Anyway, they are also common villains in Hong Kong Island movies, so there is no need to use them.
In addition, the Kowloon Walled City, as a crime scene in the film, is only a small plot of the film.
There are still a lot of things to shoot on Hong Kong Island. Since the Pingshi Film and Television City incident, the construction team and related decoration design have become more and more proficient, which is really quite the case.
At least after Chen Linfeng checked it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. The people from Hong Kong who were traveling with him also gave a thumbs up.
The acceptance test here went smoothly, and he then decided to go to the audition venue in Yanjing to have a look.
"Director, you are here."
"Director Xiao Chen, what do you think of these people we have selected?"
"Director, sit down and I will get you a cup of tea. ”
When a group of people saw the big boss coming, they rushed forward to show their courtesy.
"No, you are busy with your own business, I will come and take a look."
Chen Linfeng waved his hand, picked up a stack of resumes on the table and opened them.
Everyone really has their own talents.
He saw a few actors on their resumes who had some impressions from later generations. The assistant director Chen Qianjin had all ticked them, and he had a good taste.
Immediately, his browsing movement suddenly stopped.
Why is Wang Baoqiang here?
Chen Qianjin saw the page where the director left off and explained, "Originally, I thought Wang Baoqiang mainly played honest and honest roles, but it's hard for famous actors not to give face, so I left it for the second audition.
Who knew that in the subsequent audition, he also performed with great energy, so I kept him until the last round."
"Needless to say, I know, and I don't blame you. Meaning."
Chen Linfeng raised his hand to stop the other party's explanation. Of course he knew how malleable Wang Baoqiang was.
It can be said that except for handsome men and ancient dramas, Wang Baoqiang can play most modern roles.
To be honest, this actor's acting talent may be better than that of Shu Chang. He is really provided by God, but his skills are a bit off, and he is a typical geek with partial talents.
Chen Linfeng became interested and simply sat down to watch the audition of the crew.
The others saw Director Xiao Chen sitting down and asked him to take the lead.
Chen Linfeng couldn't resist his hospitality, so he could only sit in the middle.
The next person who came in was a tall man with a strong build.
Chen Linfeng recognized him immediately. This was the brother from Xiao Shenyang in "Detective Chinatown 1".
The other party was shocked when he saw that the interviewer in the middle was Chen Linfeng.
Who doesn’t know Director Xiao Chen?
I don’t know if I was feeling excited or panicked. In short, I wanted to show off, but it was a bit too much.
However, his role is not very important. The main thing is that he is of that size and serves as a cushion for the protagonist to show the power of a slap.
Chen Linfeng checked and stayed.
Everyone else was watching what was going on here. When they saw the director ticking the box, they also ticked the box.
The first few characters are minor roles. After that, we get to the important villains.
There are two main villains, and Wang Baoqiang auditioned for the second villain.
He himself also knew that he could not handle a boss role like the number one villain, so he chose the number two.
After entering, Wang Baoqiang was also shocked.
I didn’t hear that Director Xiao Chen will be here today.
But he is an old actor after all, and there is no sign of it on the outside.
Chen Linfeng smiled gently, "Baoqiang, why did you come to our crew to audition as a villain? It's different from your previous acting career."
Wang Baoqiang used the unique Beihe Province mixture He replied with an accent from Central Plains Province,
"I want to try more different roles. Isn't it said that broadening the scope of the play is beneficial? Besides, this is a movie made by you, director Xiao Chen. I think the quality of the movie must be very good, so I want to give it a try."
Wang Baoqiang looks simple and honest, and his words are sincere, but his art of speaking is really good. No wonder he has developed well in the future.
There is nothing you can do if you encounter a disgusting person. Chen Linfeng admires him very much.
"Okay, then try showing a fierce look."
After Wang Baoqiang heard the other party's request, the right side of his face twitched and shrank, gnashing his teeth, and a ferocious face appeared instantly. At the same time, he also had a fierce spirit.
"Okay, let's try a regular play."
Wang Baoqiang then received a toy sword handed over by the staff, the kind that glows and plays music.
There is also a piece of paper with the plot of this play written on it.
Just listen to the staff explain, "You just think of this as a hand axe. Now you are singing in KTV and there is a conflict. The KTV manager has a bad mouth towards you. You have to follow the boss's instructions and chop him down." Only hand.”
This is a random selection from several audition scenes prepared by the crew.
Chen Linfeng said, "You only need to perform the part where you cut off the hand after you control the person. You don't need to do the previous part. I'll give you 3 minutes to prepare."
Wang Baoqiang looked at the toy in his hand and thought in a daze. After a while, I stared at the plot content in my hands again and again.
"Director Xiao Chen, I'm ready."
"Well, let's get started."
